Disclaimer: Tsukino Usagi, Seiya Kou, and any of the other characters that crap up in this drabble do not belong to me, but to the one and only Naoko Takeuchi. This is my last Kiss for this pairing, and it's pretty much a bittersweet feeling. After all this time, haha! Anyway, here we go~ Complete table of Kisses located here.

The camera flickers to life, and the very first thing that can be seen are a pair of wide blue eyes. The view zooms out rapidly until the full face of the man holding the camcorder can be seen. He is quite handsome, with artfully messy black bangs falling into his eyes. He shows off a full set of even, white teeth in a grin.

"Yo! The fabulous Seiya Kou here, lead vocals of the Three Lights and super idol extraordinaire! I'm here to show you the awesome daily school life of a super idol, starting with ... well, actually getting there!"

The picture swings around to capture two other boys seated comfortably in what looks to be the interior of a limousine. "Say something, Taiki!" the first boy insists, panning into the face of the boy on the left.

The brunette looks up from his book to stare into the lens. "Good morning. I am Taiki Kou, unfortunate band member and classmate of the hyperactive boy that is holding the camera at the moment," he says seriously, though there is a hint of a smile pulling at the corner of his lips.

"You suck, Taiki," the off-screen voice of the first boy deadpans. The view whizzes around to the other boy, who looks simultaneously bored and annoyed. "Presenting Yaten Kou, the biggest prima donna in all of Tokyo!"

The silver-haired boy directs his glare over the lens. "What the hell, Seiya?!" he snaps, and his hand reaches out to grab the camera.

"Hey! Stop it!" a yell is heard, though the view swings around so wildly that it is difficult to tell whose voice it is.

Suddenly, it goes black.

*~*

The camcorder is turned on again. The scene is blurry for a short while until the view finally focuses on a school building. "Finally, we're here at Azabu Juuban High School!" the now-familiar voice of the first boy declares proudly.

"Thankfully," the silver-haired boy from earlier can be heard off-screen. The camera's point of view moves down to catch the two boys exiting the limousine, with the shorter boy brushing through his pale locks frustratedly. He shoots one last glare at the lens before stomping off into the school grounds. The brunette sighs with the exasperation of someone who suffers through that kind of thing on a regular basis, and follows the other boy at a more sedate pace.

"What do you have there, Seiya-kun?" a strong voice calls out, though decidedly female. The view moves again to capture a tall brown-haired girl and a shorter blue-haired girl.

"It's a camcorder! I'm recording the daily school life of a super idol!" is the enthusiastic reply, and the camera jiggles slightly in his grasp.

The blue-haired girl looks up interestedly. "Is that the latest model?" she asks, adjusting her glasses to get a better look at the gadget.

"Yep!" the boy affirms proudly, "LCD screen and everything!"

"A camera?!" comes another excited squeak, and a nose suddenly presses itself against the lens. The person moves back quickly, and the camera focuses on a blonde-haired girl striking a pose. "How do I look, Seiya-kun?" she purrs, patting her red bow into place.

A grey-clad arm pushes the girl out of the shot, and a dark-haired girl replaces her on screen, twirling in her grey and red uniform. "Hino Rei here~! Hikawa Shrine miko, super cute schoolgirl, and the next big star!" she introduces gleefully, tossing her long hair over her shoulder and winking at the camera.

"Not if the stunning Aino Minako beats her to it first!" the blonde girl retorts, bumping the dark-haired girl out of the screen much as she had been unceremoniously shoved away.

"Hey! What's everyone doing?!" another voice yells from behind the camera. The view swings so rapidly that it is almost dizzying, and the shot tightens on the surprised face of another blonde girl.

"Odango! Just the girl I was looking for!" the boy greets brightly. "What can you say about going to school with a super idol?"

Her surprised expression turns into an unimpressed one. "It's pretty annoying, especially when he's shoving a camera in your face," she answers peevishly, scrunching her nose up at the lens.

"Aw, c'mon, Odango, I'm not that bad," the cameraman wheedles, slowly panning up her face as she talks.

"Yes, you are, and you know it - h-hey, stop that! Are you filming my hair?!" the girl screeches.

The movement of the picture stops at the two bunches of hair atop her head. "Maaaybe," the male voice drawls in an innocent tone.

"Seiya Kou! You are a dead-"

Her hand closes in around the lens, and the screen goes black.

*~*

"In present times, Japan has a close partnership with the United States of America, particularly in the economic and military aspects. Both countries are two of the world's most ..."

The teacher's lecture seems to be mere background noise and not the actual focus of the camera. The screen carefully pans around the classroom, capturing students taking notes, others dozing off, and some surreptitiously passing slips of paper to each other and stifling giggles. It reaches the blackboard, where the teacher is writing the salient points of the discussion. Thankfully, his back is turned to the class, and the camera is free to move around for a while.

The view moves down to the blonde girl seated in front of the cameraman. Judging by her hairstyle, it is "Odango" from earlier. Her shoulders are slumped, and her bunny-print mechanical pencil taps lazily against the side of her table.

She sighs heavily, and the picture zooms into the area between her torso and her arm, focusing on the portion of her notebook that can be seen through the space. There is one word written entirely in Hiragana: A-ME-RI-KA.

"Mr. Kou!"

The camera shakes violently, and abruptly, it goes black.

*~*

"Tadaaaa! A feast fit for a super idol!"

The screen is filled with an elaborate-looking bento, designed in such a way that it imitated a familiar face.

"Isn't it a little creepy to be eating your own face?" the silver-haired boy's voice is heard from the right side of the shot.

"I think it's awesome! Besides, it'd make the girl who made this for me really sad if I didn't eat it," the cameraman answers. The view then lifts from the bento and sweeps over the classroom. "Hey, where's Odango? She has to see this!"

"I saw her head out earlier, probably to go to the washroom," the brown-haired boy answers, and the camera shifts to focus on him. "Though she has been gone for a while, now that you mention it. I don't think she has eaten lunch yet, either," he muses.

"Odango? Not eating lunch? Taiki, you joker," the first boy laughs.

The brunette shrugs. "Well, she's not with Mizuno-san and the others," he replies simply, turning back to his textbook.

The screen moves to focus on the small group towards the front part of the room. The girls from earlier are all there, save for the dark-haired girl and the "Odango"-haired blonde.

Hastily, the cap is shoved onto the lens, and it goes black.

*~*

The scene is a blinding white, and it takes a few moments for the view to adjust to the new brightness. Finally, the whiteness fades away to reveal a sun-soaked rooftop. There is but a single person there, leaning against the metal railing with her back to the camera.

"Oi, Odango!" the boy calls out, and the picture trembles slightly in his grasp.

The girl turns around quickly, and makes a face at the camcorder. "Not in the mood, Seiya," she calls back, and turns around again.

An audible sigh is heard from behind the camera. The screen jiggles wildly, moving closer towards the blonde. It stops just a few steps away from her, and the camera's point of view is lowered down to the ground. It rests at a tilted angle so that most of the girl's body can still be seen, and soon enough, the dark-haired boy that was holding the camera joins her onscreen.

He rests one side of his body against the railing, and the sudden movements of his lips indicate that he is saying something to the girl. The camera, however, is too far away to capture his words.

The girl, in turn, lifts her head to look at him, and her lips start moving, too. The boy's expression turns serious at her words, and he leans his head in closer. He says only a few words when she suddenly bursts into tears, her sobbing loud enough to be captured by the camcorder.

The boy is surprised, but he is quick to comfort her, wrapping his arms around her smaller frame and patting her back as she cries. They stay that way for a few minutes, during which the low battery indicator starts flashing on the upper left corner of the screen.

Eventually, she lifts her head from his chest and steps backwards. Her hands dash quickly over her face, her lips moving rapidly as she wipes away at her tears.

The boy steps closer to her, gently taking her wrists in his hands. She stops moving, and he rests her fingers against the sides of her face, his thumbs brushing away the remaining tracks of moisture on her face.

Slowly, carefully, as if he is afraid of something, his head bows down towards hers.

Still as a statue, the girl is frozen in place, but her face lifts just the tiniest amount towards his.

His eyes close, and so do hers.

And as their lips finally, finally meet in perhaps what is the sweetest, saddest kiss that will ever be captured by film, the battery indicator empties, and the screen goes black.
