12 MIDNIGHT

"RETURN OF EVE"

"KANATA YOU JERK!!!!" A loud shriek coming from the blonde's mouth awakened almost everyone in town. Well today, everything had been fine not until the man in the house came teasing his housemate.

For all of them, they still haven't forgotten 'it'. It, that was a big nightmare that almost made them killed, thanks to Rui, the alien girl who's big sister of Seiya, and Seiya who was now taking care of Ruu, and Ruu who had accepted everything.

The entire 'family' had their dinner on silence; Miyu can't still believe that Kanata told her 'that'. Reminiscing the event, Miyu ate her food shaking because of anger. Oh how much she would like to have her revenge, and then she smirked at the thought.

Kanata, who was at the right end of the table, can't stop thinking about her cute face when she's fuming with anger. He almost chuckled at the thought, good thing he succeeded on biting his lip.

Seiya, even though silent, can't stop stealing glances from the 'two lovebirds', when Kanata had won to have her attentions again, Seiya begun cursing him. He knew, from the start he held Miyu's hand; he fell in love with her. Only if he has the guts to tell her, everything would be fine, but, does she feels the same?

FLASHBACK

"Ok, class, we will be having a field trip to –"Ms. Mizuno was just talking when a student raised his hand.

"What? Santa?"

"Where are we having our field trip?" he merely asked, though he asked his teacher, his mind was on somewhere else, Oh how would he love to go to a deserted island.

"I was getting onto it Santa when you interrupted!" Ms. Mizuno said, anger marks already appeared on her head. "As I was saying, we will be having a field trip to-"she didn't get to finished her sentence when again Santa raised his hand but before he could ask the same question

"BAM"

Santa fell on his chair as his own teacher threw an eraser to him.

Everyone else in the classroom was wide-eyed with the scene, well, they can't believe that their teacher could be scary sometimes.

"Let me finish my sentence Santa!" Ms. Mizuno almost shouted. "As I was saying we will be having our field trip---"she saw Santa standing up, but before she could grab anther eraser someone tied him and covered his mouth with a big tape as fast as the lightning.

Ms. Mizuno then sighed and continued her sentence, "to the PARADISE BEACH"

Everyone in the room didn't get her first until Nanami shouted in joy, "the PARADISE BEACH" she said it a hundred times before turning her gaze to her confused classmates.

"Oh come on, don't tell me you've never heard of it!" she asked smiling but all she received was a shaking head telling her that THEY DON'T KNOW.

Then she sweat dropped, "ok, ano—you see, I, too don't know" she then placed her hand on the back of her head.

"THEN WHY WERE YOU JUMPING ON JOY?" Aya was the one who shouted, "CAUSE I THOUGHT YOU KNEW, SO IF I DON'T KNOW IT THEN I WOULD BE LEFT OUT AND SO I ----"she was stating her too long explanation when Ms. Mizuno cut her off by breaking the table down. Dark aura surrounded her; In short, everyone should shut up if they still want to live for another day.

As Nanami saw this, she immediately got back to her seat. Well, can you blame her? She was just so happy that her friend was back to normal. She was really worried about her, what if what if what if …….Its really hard to elaborate what she was feeling now that everything is back to normal.

"As you heard everyone," she purposely stopped waiting if someone would meddle, but seeing everyone in form of a statue she smiled and came back to her old self.

"The PARADISE BEACH, it is a beach, a beach, a beach, a beach, a beach, a beach, if there's any question regarding to it wait 'till we see it on our own eyes, understand? And you can bring whoever you want" Even she, doesn't know what the PARADISE BEACH looks like but she knows that it's beautiful.

Class dismissal came and everyone was going home, on the lonely street of who knows what, two teenagers were walking. "I can't wait to step on the PARADISE BEACH!" she giggled with her own sentence, "How about you Kanata?" she then placed her gaze on the brunet beside her.

Till now, he can't believe he had kissed her, never in his entire life he thought to do such a thing, now he's regretting it, not totally. But he didn't know why, maybe because he was happy that everything's back to normal? Or he likes her? Shocked of his own thought he shook his head but his mind came back to Earth when he heard her asked him.

"You know Miyu" he looked up in the darkening sky before he looked back at where he was going, "just don't wear exposed clothes, they might see your unshaped childish body" after he finished telling his joke he ran for his life seeing her glowing with fire.

But he didn't forget to stick his tongue out.

END OF FLASHBACK

Everyone was now at their seats on the bus waiting for their arrival on the said beach.

Miyu was seated beside her housemate Kanata much to her dismay, while Ruu and Seiya were seated on their back.

As for Kanata, he liked it very much, being able to see her calm face when asleep. He then smiled at the thought inwardly.

And as for Seiya, he didn't like it, why can't he be the one to be seated beside Miyu, he just frowned more thinking what might Kanata do.

-0-

It was a long ride to their destinations, but nothing they can't handle. Now, everyone was amazed on the scenery in front of them, waves on the blue sea can be seen, white sand in their feet, and other people enjoying their vacation in the place.

All of the students were gathered in the lobby, waiting for their keys to be given. "This place is really beautiful" a blonde holding a child in her arms talked, she really can't wait to wear her swimsuit and feel the breeze of the alluring sea. Within her excitement, something was bothering her, when she first land her feet on this place, she felt someone or something was watching her. But thinking it was just her imagination playing with her mind, she shrugged it.

"Ai" was the only baby's reply.

After a while, teachers came delivering the keys to their room, students were teamed into four.

Fortunately for Kanata and Seiya, they were joined to Miyu. They were merely three people plus the baby because they were the last to be given.

She slumped down on the two-people-sized bed, letting her back fell first. "Whew", she exclaimed tiredly, though not letting the baby in her arms fall.

"So-"Seiya spoke which made the two look at him "Who would be teamed up in—"

He was talking shyly and crimsoned face when Miyu broke him.

"I and Ruu in this bed while you two, the other!" She pointed the other bed beside her with the same size with their bed.

"Whatever" though disappointed a bit Kanata put down his bag on the table beside their bed.

Students weren't allowed to go out of their rooms unless it's emergency not until morning.

A sigh escaped from the blonde's mouth as she looked up in the shimmering stars in the sky. Kanata who was reading a book in his bed while Seiya was playing with Ruu in the other.

As he heard her sigh he took one glance at her before turning the page of the book he was reading.

"Is something wrong Miyu-san?" Seiya asked laid in his back, Ruu in his two bare hands up high. "Uh, nothing" She replied with a smile before looking out the window once again.

As he saw her sincere smile he immediately lowered his head to hide his burning face. When Kanata saw this, his blood boiled. "Let's go to sleep now, shall we?" He said placing the book in the table. "Sure" answered the other two.

As the illuminated room turned into darkness, he smiled, waves crashing on his side. Deep inside, he was glad, very glad. His mother had come back for him. Now, all he has to do is the making of a plan to get her.
