Chapter 3 : Why The Stars Shine
Kasu: " 'Every star shines for a specific reason. A star could shine to represent the birth of someone or something. It could shine with the soul purpose of guiding someone down a path. But people forget about another reason to why a star might shine. A star could begin to shine, once love has been created.' I wonder what my star shines for..."

Kasu: "Its been officially one week since Mizuna and I kissed. Its almost hard to believe it really happened. I can't seem to look at her anyone without blushing, and above all else shes nicer then usual. Hard to believe, I know. Shes the nicest person I know, didn't think it was possible for her to get any nicer..."
Momiko: "Kasuma deary! Time to get up! Your friends are here!"
*Momiko shouted from the bottom of the stares*
Kasu: "I'm right here Mom, and thank you for letting me know."
*Kasu said as he walked up behind Momiko*
Momiko: "Oh my goodness! Will you PLEASE stop sneaking up on me? Your going to give your dear old mother a heart attack one of these days..."
*Momiko said as she rested her hand on her chest*
Kasu: "You get scared way to easily. And we've been over this before. I wake up at least two hours before you to get your breakfast ready, remember?"
*Kasu said as he rubbed his head*
Momiko: "Oh yeah. Sorry dear I must have forgotten."
*Momiko said as she smiled*
Kasu: "Its no big deal... just try to remember so that way you won't have to worry about me 'Sneaking up' on you anymore."
*Kasu said as he walked passed her and opened the door to see Mizuna standing there alone*
*Kasu blushed then slightly looked to the sides of Mizuna then looked back at her*
Kasu: "y-Your alone? Where's Yurako?"
*Kasu asked as he continued blushing while rubbing his head*
*Mizuna smiled while tilting her head to the side slightly*
Mizuna: "Tasuraku said he wouldn't be able to make it. So he said you and me should go on ahead and enjoy the weekend together."
*Mizuna said still smiling*
*Kasu continued rubbing his head while thinking with a mild blushed face*
Kasu: "That Yurako... hes setting me up... this is not going to end well..."
*Kasu thought to himself while thinking what kind of tricks or traps Yurako might have set along the way to try and get him and Mizuna to kiss again*
Mizuna: "Hey are you day dreaming again? You got to cut that out, its not healthy to drift off into never-never-land all the time."
*Mizuna said as she giggled slightly*
*As Mizuna giggled, Kasu blushed again then looked to the side slightly and rubbed his head*
Kasu: "Her laugh is so... cute... this is going to be one interesting day isn't it...?"
*Kasu thought to himself as he continued rubbing his head*
Kasu: "Alright mom, I'm off. See you later."
*Kasu said as he slipped on his shoes and walked out next to Mizuna*
Mizuna: "Have a good day Mrs. Asuraki. I will take good care of your son while we are out today."
*Mizuna said as she bowed her head to Momiko*
Momiko: "Oh well thank you sweetie. You two have a grand time now!"
*Momiko said as she waved them off*

-Somewhere in Town-
Kasu: "So... where do we want to go?"
*Kasu asked trying to refrain from blushing*
Mizuna: "Hmm. Good question. Where should we go?"
*Mizuna asked as she stopped in the middle of the sidewalk thinking*
Kasu: "Well... how about the river side?"
*Kasu suggested as he looked to his side slightly*
*Mizuna's head perked up and she smiled*
Mizuna: "Oh that sounds wonderful. Come on lets go!"
*Mizuna said as she grabbed Kasu by the hand and began to rush toward the river*
____
-By the River-
*Mizuna and Kasu reach the river and begin to walk along the edge of the river*
Kasu: "So, n-now that we are here. What do you want to do?"
*Kasu asked blushing from Mizuna still holding onto his hand*
Mizuna: "I don't know, what would you like to do?"
*Mizuna asked as she continued to walk hand-in-hand with Kasu*
Kasu: "i-I don't know... I guess anything is fine with me..."
*Kasu said still blushing slightly*
*Mizuna suddenly stopped and got up close to Kasu and put her face inches away from his*
Mizuna: "Anything?"
*Mizuna asked with a small grin on her face*
*Kasu slightly tilted his head back as his face began to turn red*
Kasu: "u-Uh s-sure..."
*Kasu mumbled while his face remained red*
*Mizuna then wrapped Kasu in a hug and then she pushed herself into the river with Kasu*
Kasu: "w-WOW!"
*Kasu shouted as he and Mizuna began to fall into the river*
*As the two of them sat in the river getting soaked, Mizuna pops up and giggles*
Mizuna: "Well that was fun."
*She said as she continued to giggle*
Kasu: "t-That's your idea of fun..."
*Kasu asked, rubbing his head slowly, his clothes soaked*
*Mizuna would giggle a little more then stand up and reach her hand out toward Kasu*
Mizuna: "No not really. I just thought it would be funny to see the expression on your face when you fall into a river with a girl. It was priceless!"
*She said giggling as she smiled brightly with her eyes closed and head tilted to the side slightly*
*Kasu would blush faintly as he continued slowly rubbing his head*
Kasu: "Yeah yeah..."
*He said as he took Mizuna's hand and lifted himself off of the ground and began to ring out his shirt*
*Mizuna would begin to ring out her hair, as she would then walk out of the river, Kasu would follow her*
*As they both were out of the river, Mizuna began to take off her shirt, causing Kasu to turn red nearly instantly as he would turn around as fast as he could*
Kasu: "w-w-w-What are you doing!?"
*He asked as he continued to blush, clenching his eyes tightly closed with his back turned to Mizuna*
*Mizuna would continue to slip her shirt off and hang it on a small tree branch and giggle gently*
Mizuna: "Its okay Kasuma, its not like we're strangers. We're practically sibling."
*She said as she smiled and began to brush her hair with her fingers*
*Kasu would continue to blush with his eyes clamped shut*
Kasu: "t-t-That's not the point! Your not at all bothered by this?"
*Kasu asked as he would then stop to think for a moment*
Kasu: "That's a pretty stupid question, considering shes the one doing it..."
*Kasu thought to himself as he sat down*
Mizuna: "Its not like i'm naked Kasuma. But I suppose it is a little embarrassing..."
*She said as she blushed faintly as she twirled her fingers around each other*
Kasu: "j-Just wait here... I'll go get us a dry pair of clothes."
*He said as he made his way up the hill after handing his jacket to Mizuna quickly and began to make his way toward a clothing shop*
----
-At the Clothing Store-
*Kasu would approach the store, entering inside still a tad soaked as he would quickly head toward the men's clothing section and quickly picked out some simple clothes and quickly bought them then slipped them on in the changing room*
Kasu: "Alright... now its time to get Mizuna clothes... Oh joy..."
*He mumbled to himself as he slowly made his way toward the woman's wears*
Kasu: "Alright... Lets make this quick and painless."
*He'd say as he began to quickly pick out clothes that he thought Mizuna would like*
*After Kasu had gathered the clothing, he bought them then began to make his way back to the river*
----
-At the River-
*Kasu approaches the area that he last saw Mizuna, but he could not spot her*
Kasu: "Where'd she go?"
*He asked himself, looking around to attempt to spot her*
*Suddenly Mizuna would drop from a tree and would land on Kasu, knocking him down as she giggled sitting on him, still in her wet clothes*
Mizuna: "Well that was fun."
*She said, giggling like the school girl she was*
Kasu: "Again... your idea of fun... scary..."
*He said slowly with a small pause in between his words*
Mizuna: "Oh stop being such a whiner."
*She said as she bent down and kissed his nose*
*Kasu would blush slightly, as he would look to his side and began to think to himself*
Kasu: "What is this feeling I constantly feel whenever she gets so close to me... do I... love her?"
*Kasu asked himself in his thoughts, slightly looking at her giggling as she would still be sitting on his stomach*
