Chapter 1: Night after the departure
"Ruu" sighed Miyu.
It had been 2 hours since Ruu and Wanya had left with the other aliens. The gang had decided to have a sleepover at the temple. Miyu was sitting in the main room in the corner with her knees supporting her chin and cuddling them. Santa was voicing his fascination as usual and the rest were somehow not bored. You may ask why? Well they had just witnessed extra terrestrial phenomena and for once they could understand Santa's nonstop blabbing and join in!
Well, as for Miyu, she was still trying to digest the fact that there was no more her being called 'mama'. Just a few meters away sat a brunette, his eyes fixed on a certain blonde. He could share her pain but did not let it show on his face. Another thing on his mind- Miyu too was going to leave him.
They all decided on ordering pizza since there wasn't enough food in the fridge and soon it arrived. Miyu, while seeing her friends' antiques, gave a genuine smile. For the moment she had forgotten that she had to leave them soon. All was fun and play and everyone was having a good time playing monopoly while stuffing down the pizza.
Around midnight it was time to turn in for the day. A debate started on who would sleep in the guest room, i.e. Ruu and Wanya's former room. "Girls, please would you all sleep in my room?" said Miyu, "and the guys can sleep in Kanata's room, neh Kanata?". Kanata wanted to refuse but he understood Miyu's pain and he nodded a yes.
In the bedroom, 'Miyu chan, when will you be leaving us?" asked Aya with a sad expression. "Aya!" shouted Nanami, "Please don't upset her mood further! Miyu chan you don't need to think about all this now. Let's just enjoy our slumber party". Miyu nodded with a faint smile. She loved her friends too much to part from them!
"Miyu chan!", cried Christine. "I'll really miss you! Even though I'll have no more competition, you have been a true friend to me!". She sobbed hugging Miyu. Aya and Nanami started to sob too. And then Miyu joined the trio, "GUYS, YOU ALL MEAN SO MUCH TO ME!" and there was group hug with tear puddles forming.
"Jeez, girls are so sentimental", voiced Santa. "Say Kanata, won't you miss Kouzuki san?", Santa continued with a smirk. Kanata hardly glanced at Santa and then went back to laying down the futons. Santa understood that it's a touchy topic for him and left it there. Eventually, silence enveloped the Saoinji temple and everyone was in dreamland. Well, not everyone.
"Oh Ruu and Wanya.. How I'll miss you both. And Kanata..", Miyu thought while snuggling into her blanket. "What about Kanata?" she whispered to herself but suddenly realized she said Kanata's name around his No.1 hardcore /extremely dangerous fan. Fortunately, she was sleeping soundly. Miyu got up for a glass of milk realizing that it was of no use just lying down with eyes wide open.
"Ka.. Kanata..", gasped Miyu softly as she saw him in the kitchen with a cup of milk. Kanata looked up with a look she had never seen before in his auburn eyes. They were glistening and were a bit red indicating that he too, was in fact, missing Ruu and Wanya as much as her.
She just smiled and went up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, rubbing it lightly. "We'll miss them but we have each other", said Miyu.
Kanata glared at her frowning and then with a hint of anger he replied, "No Miyu, we won't be. You will be leaving too".
"Thank you for reminding. I almost forgot." Miyu retorted sarcastically as she didn't know what else to reply. "Kanata, you think I'm happy? Well, I'm not. I don't want to leave yet another important person in my life. I'll miss you more than you can imagine. Heck, I'll even miss you teasing me and getting on my nerves and calling my cooking inedible and…'", Miyu stopped abruptly as Kanata stood up and hugged her, with his arms around her shoulders. Miyu blushed and not knowing what to say, she stood still.
"I know... But the day has to come soon and Miyu, I'll miss you. You have been the only person I have opened up to so much. I'll miss my Mi…" Kanata stopped realizing he has used 'my' and spontaneously changed it to, "I'll miss my best friend", and pulled away from the hug.
Miyu was surprised with this sudden display of affection, that too from Kanata! Blush was evident on both their cheeks. "So, do you want some milk?" asked Kanata, snapping Miyu out of her state. "Ha... Hai", responded Miyu.
Both sat down with their cups of milk and there was silence. After they were done, Miyu headed out of the kitchen first and just before leaving she turned to Kanata and said, "You know Kanata, you are my best friend too, more than Aya chan and Nanami chan", and with that she headed to her room. Kanata's lips curved upwards on hearing that and then, he too, turned in for the night. Both thinking of what just happened, while laying on their futon, slept peacefully after that.
