CHAPTER 01
THE INDIFFERENT KANATA
It was dark. Miyu was fast asleep. Yesterday she had explained to Aya, Nanami and the others what her mom told her about her space expedition. But it seemed like ages ago. Since Bawmiaw and Baby Ruu left, she was alone in the Saionji residence with Kanata. She had been going through a tough time thinking how she should say goodbye to all her friends there…and to Kanata…So, she had slept late.
Ring.Ring.Ring.
The telephone bell rang. Miyu jerked awake and yawned.
'KANATA! GET THE PHONE!' she shouted still half asleep.
There was no answer.
'ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE KANATA!' she shouted again, but only silence followed.
Ring.Ring.Ring.
The telephone continued to ring. Miyu got up from her bed and started running to the phone. She picked up the phone and answered in a low voice, 'Hello! Saionji Residence!'
'MIYU! ITS ME HONEY!'
Mike Kouzuki's voice sounded through the phone.
'Mom!' exclaimed Miyu.
'I'm there too Miyu!' someone shouted.
'Dad?' gasped Miyu.
'Miyu, we'll be coming to the Saionji temple tomorrow to pick you up' said Mike. Miyu could almost taste her Mother's excitement.
'We'll be continuing work in Japan!' informed (more like shouted) Yuu.
'But…' started Miyu but was cut in by her over-excited Mom.
'It will be back to normal honey…We would be together all over again…' said Mike.
'Your mom has bought a lot of sovereign for you Miyu. So better get ready' shouted Yuu and chuckled.
'Why did you tell that to her!' shouted Mike, 'It was supposed to be a surprise'
Miyu smiled to herself. Her Mom and Dad hadn't changed a little.
'See you tomorrow then Miyu' said Mike and hanged-up the phone.
Miyu felt that all her worries from yesterday have returned to her. She tried to act normally but couldn't bring herself up to it.
'Good morning Miyu' said a voice behind her.
'Kanata?' gasped Miyu.
'Who was in the phone?' he asked.
'It was…it was from my…from my mom…' said Miyu in a low voice.
'Oh!' said Kanata and started to move.
It took Miyu a few seconds to recover and then she did, 'Where did you go Kanata? I was shouting like hell and you didn't even answer!'
Kanata stopped in his tracks. He turned to face Miyu.
'I was on the roof' he said and left.
The day's breakfast was silent than usual.
'I should tell him about tomorrow' thought Miyu.
'Umm…Kanata?' she started in a low voice.
'Yeah?' asked Kanata.
Pulling her together, she said, 'My parents are coming tomorrow to pick me up…'
There was silence. Kanata hadn't responded. He again said, 'Oh!' and sat down at the kitchen table.
Miyu stared. There was more silence. Miyu didn't have any clue as to what to say next and waited with bated breath for what was more that Kanata had to say.
'Miyu…I was thinking…' he said.
Miyu had pink patches on her cheeks.
'What is it?' she asked.
'I…I…' she stammered, looked up at her and muttered fast, 'I mean you have to inform Ms. Mizuno if you really are leaving, you know…'
'Yeah… I guess so'
There was more silence.
'Look at the time!' shouted Miyu suddenly.
'We have to hurry' said Kanata.
There was a lot of noise in the Saionji Temple and after what seemed like seconds they were both rushing down the steps with only twenty minutes left for the school bell.
'I…I…can't…believe this!' gasped Miyu.
'We actually made it' said Kanata sitting down at his seat.
'Good Morning you two!' greeted Aya, Nanami, Santa and Christine.
'Good Morning' said Kanata and Miyu still gasping for breath.
'Good Morning Little Miyu' piped Nozomu popping a red- rose in front of Miyu's nose.
'Thanks' said Miyu and accepted the rose.
'What happened Little Miyu?' asked Nozomu suddenly becoming serious, 'You don't look your cheerful self today… something bothering you?'
'Nothing…' stuttered Miyu.
'Your "nothing" means that something is bothering you' said Nanami sharply.
'What is it Miyu?' asked Chris kindly.
'Well…' started Miyu.
'Her mom is going to come to pick her up tomorrow…In other words she would be leaving Heiomachi tomorrow' said Kanata and sat down at his place without so much of a glance at his classmates.
'Is that true Little Miyu?' asked Nozomu.
'Please don't tell me its true Miyu' said Aya.
'Its true…I'd be leaving Heiomachi tomorrow' said Miyu now close to tears.
All the five were shocked.
The break-time bell rang and still the friends were depressed about the sudden announcement.
Miyu was standing near the window glancing over the school grounds hoping that this shouldn't be her last chance to be at her school; with her friends; with Kanata…
'Miyu…?' called Chris.
'Yeah?' asked Miyu.
'Well…are you sure you want to leave Heiomachi?' asked Chris.
'There is no "want to" Chris…There is only a "have to"' said Miyu looking down.
'But Miyu… I've been thinking…' stammered Chris.
'What is it Chris?' asked Miyu.
'Well… If you leave I'd no doubt have any competition toward approaching Kanata… But still… I want you to be here even if you…' she broke of.
'I can understand Chris but I do have to leave…' said Miyu.
'Kanata?' called Santa.
'Yeah… Do you want to go to this movie, "The Legend of the Tofu-Man"?' asked Santa.
'No' said Kanata.
'C'mon Kanata, it will be fun…' urged Santa.
'No…' said Kanata firmly.
'Even if I say "Please"'?
'Even if you say "Please"'
'Why not?' asked Santa.
'Well… I've got plans' said Kanata.
'What plans?' asked Santa.
'Well…'
'Santa! Kanata! We were planning on going to "Fantasy Park" today to send off Miyu… be there by 4 ok?' asked Nanami suddenly emerging between the two boys.
'Cool… I'd love to but Kanata has got plans however…' said Santa.
'Too bad… O.K you can come… Nozomu is going too…' informed Nanami and left.
'Are you sure you don't wanna go?' asked Santa finally.
'Sure! Very sure!' answered Kanata.
It was Saionji temple at half past 3. Miyu was standing before the mirror checking that she was good enough to go out. She was wearing a black sleeve-less top and white pants. Her hair was tied to a pony tail. She opened her accessories box and searched for something to wear to match her out-fit. While she was rummaging through the box, her eyes fell upon a gold necklace with a star pendant. She remembered this necklace. It was as though it had happened only yesterday. Her necklace lost…. Ruu finding it…. Meeting Momoka…. The way she called her "madam"…. Startling her one day while she was making pumpkin in the kitchen…. The first ever truth that Kanata ever said out love…. "I prefer pumpkin"…. Kanata….
'Oh, No! It's getting late! I'd better go!' shouted Miyu looking at her watch and rushing out of the Saionji temple… down the stairs… along the streets and out of sight. In her rush, she didn't realize that there was no one else in the house. Kanata hadn't returned from school... However he wasn't at the school either… What are his plans about anyway? Why does he seem to be so indifferent to Miyu's departure?
