You're missing a few newlines there.

I want to make this with two functions (only a star, the underscore not appear in output)

Here is my five cents.

int j = 1;
char s[] = "*______";
char *p = s;
for ( int i = 0; i  < 12; i++ )
{
	std::cout << s << std::endl;
	if ( i % 4 == 3 ) j = -j;
	else { std::swap( *p, *( p + j ) ); p += j; }
}
