Okay, here's another Kamichama Karin story for you guys. This is one is Yuuki/Miyon based. I'll go ahead and post the first two chapters. If people like it then I'll continue.

Okay, I felt like I had to put this here since I was having a lot of trouble fitting certain details into the story and I figure this will help you follow along. Background: Yuuki and Miyon are both 20 years old in this story. They live together in a two-bedroom apartment. Miyon is a waitress at a café and on the side she writes plays that are often performed in a small dinner-theatre called the 'Hippopotamus'. Yuuki had worked at a music store but now he has given that up so he could take on his new job instead which is….well, that will be explained in this chapter so just be patient. By the way Yuuki and Miyon are not in a relationship…yet.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Kamichama Karin characters in this chapter or in the chapters to come. I do, on the other hand, own my OCs.

Chapter one: Departure

Miyon swallowed down the lump that was forming in her throat, "What?" she asked hoping she had heard wrong.

"BeAt is an American based band." Yuuki confirmed.

"Oh." Miyon said looking down at her feet.

"Well? Do you think I should do it?" There was a hint of doubt in his voice now and Miyon knew that she had caused it.

Miyon looked up at Yuuki; she couldn't let him give up his dreams for her. She forced a smile, "Yes! Absolutely!" It took all of her concentration to make sure her voice didn't crack.

"Really?" Yuuki asked.

"Yeah, it's a great opportunity for you! You should do it!"

"Okay." Yuuki said then more confidently, "Okay, I'll do it!"

"Good!" Miyon said starting to walk. Yuuki fell in step beside her and they continued down the park trail. This was where they always went to talk. That's why when Yuuki called Miyon telling her to meet him in the park after work she knew that it was something important…

Still she hadn't expected this.

She should be happy for him really. Her best friend got accepted into a band. And not just any band but a band that was practically legendary in America. They decided a little while ago to go international but their previous pianist didn't like the idea of traveling around the world so he quit. Since then they've been holding auditions online and that's how Yuuki got the job. Hecould be playing his music for the entire world to hear!

But still, with this new job he'd be leaving to live in America. America! That was like, half-way across the world.

Miyon bit her lip; she was being stupid, she should be happy for him. She shouldn't be just thinking about herself.

Miyon stuffed her hands in the pockets of her shorts, "So when do you leave?"

Yuuki was fiddling with the hem on the end of his Tee shirt, "next week." His answer was a barely audible mumble.

Miyon swallowed again, trying to keep her tears from reaching her eyes, "That soon?"

Yuuki turned to his friend, "Are you sure you're okay with this Miyon?"

Miyon gave him a weak smile, "This isn't about me. This is about your career. Your life. I think this is a great opportunity for you and I think you should take it. I think you deserve it."

Yuuki smiled, "Thanks Miyon."

"Come on then," Miyon said grabbing Yuuki's arms and pulling him along, "Let's get you ready for the states!"

-----------------

Miyon sighed, "Yuuki, do you even know how to exchange Yen for U.S. currency?"

Yuuki shook his head.

"Yuuki, you're hopeless, I swear what are you going to do over there in America without me?" Miyon was in better control of her emotions now that she had had a day to go over everything in her head.

Yuuki laughed, "You're right! You're just going to have to come along then!" he said slamming shut the tourist guide book in his lap.

Miyon leaned her head against Yuuki's bed, "I wish I could."

Yuuki chewed his lip as if contemplating something. He set the book aside and got up off his bed before starting to pace the room, "What if you did?"

Miyon looked at him curiously, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, what if you came along with me? You could, if you want to."

Miyon sighed, "I can't Yuuki, I have I great life here and I can't just leave it all behind…" she looked up at Yuuki through her bangs, "sorry."

Yuuki shook his head, "No, you're right. I'm sure Shelly would have a heart attack if you left anyway." He suddenly laughed, "You remember that time when you were thinking about changing careers and Shelly threatened that if you did, she'd close down the Hippo?"

Miyon laughed, "Shelly is physco like that."

Yuuki shrugged, "She just sees your talent and she wants the world to experience it."

"Hardly! My plays are still only being performed in that small dinner-theatre with an even smaller audience."

Yuuki flashed her a grin, "Don't worry, you'll get discovered for the genius you are someday."

"You know what? I'm thirsty! Let's head out, go to the café or something." Miyon said quickly changing the subject and attempting to hide her pink cheeks.

Yuuki laughed, "Your treat."

"Hey!"

"Well, why should I have to pay? I'm the famous one." Yuuki joked.

"Yuuki! You little brat!" Yuuki took this opportunity to dash out of his bedroom. Miyon was right on his tail, "You haven't even done your first performance yet and already you're letting it get to your head! I swear!" Miyon ignored the fact that she wasn't making much sense. She was glad that she and Yuuki could still joke around like this. After all, in just a week, just a few days, Yuuki would be gone and she may never chase him around the kitchen yelling obscenities again.

In just a few days, this apartment would be so empty…

After two years of living together, it'd all be over. Just like that.

---------------------------

Miyon hopped back and forth on her feet, "This is so weird!" she said, "We haven't been apart since…well, ever."

Yuuki readjusted the strap of his duffle bag and threw it over his shoulder, "I know what you mean. It's going to be weird not having you around all the time."

Miyon sighed, "Yeah, it'll definitely take some getting used to." It seemed strange to Miyon that her whole life was about to change and yet she was just standing there carrying on idle chit-chat like it was any other day. The announcement for Yuuki's flight echoed overhead, "Oh! That's you. I guess you should get going then."

"Are you sure about this?" Yuuki asked Miyon for the fifth time.

"Yeah, I told you. It's fine."

"O-okay…" Yuuki took a step from her then he turned back to her, "You sure?"

Miyon laughed although she felt like crying, "Yeah, Yuuki I'm sure." She said trying hard not to choke on her voice.

"Okay." Yuuki said but he didn't move.

"Yuuki, you'd better go before you miss your flight." This time she couldn't stop her voice from cracking. Yuuki looked at her, not sure whether he should go or not, "Go!" she told him. "Just promise you'll write me everyday."

Yuuki nodded and took a few more steps away from her, "I promise." He said. The last call for Yuuki's plane came on and he hurried to the boarding line.

"And call all the time!" Miyon yelled after him.

"I will!"

"Goodbye!"

"Bye!" Yuuki yelled to her as he left.

"Bye!" Miyon yelled again even though Yuuki was already on the plane.

She stood there staring at the empty space where he had just been, "goodbye." She whispered finally letting herself drown in the tears that had been threatening to fall all week.
