Title: The New Life: Eternal Love
Summary: One day, LOVE was going to bloom. It was the day they were going to propose to each other, at the same time, but a set of unfortunate events change everything, even their feelings for each other. Kanata x Miyu.
Prologue
As the blazing sun shines through the city of Heiomachi, indicating that it was morning, people woke up to do their daily routines and are busy going to work, and youths, attending school, but at one temple… Saiyonji Temple, the sun does not affect its residents, most likely the blonde haired girl, Miyu Kouzuki.
It was a sunny Monday morning, the young girl's room was not penetrated by the sun, her green curtains covers it, her room was cool, not cold nor hot, even as she was under a bedspread. She curled awkwardly in her futon as her face was void of any indication that she's waking up soon, and here breathing was imperceptible.
She looks like she haven't sleep much, last night she decided she's going to give Kanata a love letter. Yep, you're bound to be nervous when you're going to propose to someone you love. Even if Kanata does love her too, she's still nervous about it, not that she knows that they share the same feeling. But if he didn't love her back, she didn't care, because you can love someone, even if that someone doesn't return your feelings. By thinking of that, she value Kanata as her own brother, or… something more than that. She's just scared that Kanata would avoid her if she tells him that.
Because her sleep was light, she gets easily disturbed in her sleep, she covers her head with a bedspread and tried to sleep again but the footsteps was loud, and she can hear the name 'Bawmeow' being called. She frowned without really knowing what was going on, she just want to sleep.
"Meehhh, can't you see someone is sleeping here…!" She said lazily, not realizing that she said while the pillow is on her face, in short, nobody heard it. Miyu could not take anymore, because the noise became noisier, so she slowly sits up, her hair was unruly and face looks pale –she looks like a ghost.
"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M SLEEPING HERE!" Miyu shouted in her room, it's loud enough to stop the noise, "thank goodness it stops, now…" Miyu laid herself in her futon once more, not realizing that her door was slowly opening up.
"Miyu?" Ask someone, a boy's voice, just before Miyu closes her eyes so, she quickly stands up and was practically face-to-face with the last boy he wanted to see that day. So, she fainted, blushing of course because they where practically exchanging breaths, not to mention that they almost kiss.
"Miyu, What happened to you!" Someone said, and she felt her body, her shoulder was being shaken. So she opened her eyes once more. In her vision she saw the concerned eyes of and amber-eyed boy, the one she love. But this time she did not faint but, she blushes as the strong arms of Kanata were holding her shoulder softly.
"Miyu, Are you okay?" The boy asks the love-struck girl, but did not notice that they were in a compromising position, until the greatest love-scene-breaker Bawmeow came. Yup, he came at the wrong time, as always, but hey! It's not Bawmeow if he didn't 'accidentally' walk in the scene.
"Kanata I-" Miyu was starting to said when another figure entered the room -followed by a jumping stuffs toy and a flying baby, breaking yet again a good moment to propose, or to kiss.
"Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt you!" The baby-sitter went out again and closes the door but at the middle of it, he said something, mischievously, to the couple "Don't mind us. Please continue what you're doing." And alas the love scene was broken and Kanata pushes Miyu away from him when he realize what Bawmeow means, and thus making the mood worse than ever.
And soon the temple was filled with constant cursing and name-calling, mostly it was Miyu. They forgot that it was school day, and soon they realized it…
15 minutes later, Miyu was running around finding her socks, she already finished with her bath –a record, since taking bath is always the reason of their lateness. But today was different, she doesn't feel to bath that long. She's nervous, and relaxing in a bath gave her time to think, thus making her more nervous than ever.
Apparently when she's panicking, 30 percent of common sense was left in her brain. The blond girl shouted and shouted the sitter pet's name, not knowing where to look, as if she didn't know their daily routines. Not looking where she's going, besides, she's running to fast while entering a corner where a bundle of laundry, in a basket, was being carried by the sitter pet itself emerges from it and her, Miyu's, reputation as the most clumsiness paid off when she collides, hard, with the laundry basket, sending both Miyu and Bawmeow flying backwards where Miyu landed hard on her butt.
Bawmeow wasn't really at fault; he can't see a thing while carrying that tall laundry. So he was caught off guard when Miyu collides with it. The laundry basket flew upwards sending its contents to scatter around them, and then Miyu was buried in the clothes.
"OW! That's hurts, my butt…" Miyu felt that she's buried, then there's that smell, "EEK! What's that smell…?" Somehow Miyu remembered something, she smelled that odor before, and so she sits up, quickly, emerging from the mountain of clothing, like a zombie.
Miyu wished that she never sit up and died on the floor, because what she saw was something that she never wanted to see… again.
"KANATA'S USED BOXER! EEK! That's gross!" Miyu said, looking both disgusted and at the same time blushing as she throws the boxer away from her face. "So, that's the bad odor I smelled earlier!" Miyu pointed out.
Upon hearing his name, along with the word 'underwear', Kanata, who was in the dining room, rushed towards the place where he first heard his name. When he got there, he paled and he felt very angry at the girl thrashing his underwear like it has some disease on it.
"Miyu! What the hell! Get your stinking hands away from my underwear! You pervert!" Kanata snapped at the blonde haired girl without fully analyzing the scene, his anger clouding his other senses.
Miyu on the other hand, looks like she was caught right handed as she throws the last two boxers that where at her hand and forcefully smiles at Kanata. "An Accident…?" She tried to reason out with fuming boy. "It's not what you think it look like…" At this, Miyu looks down.
"The hell it is! You thought you could do revenge at me by doing this huh!" Kanata said, looking at Miyu with burning eyes. "I never thought you were a back stabber Miyu," Kanata pauses and closes his eyes, and when he opened them again his eyes indicate disappointment, making Miyu guilty, although she did not do it. "I really respect you Miyu and, I L…" Kanata gulps and then shook his head. "You're just one of them, those who only want to know me… just for fame."
Kanata's words struck Miyu in the heart and twisting it, tears are now forming in Miyu's eyes, "I'm not… I'm not… I'm not…" She chanted as tears are now flowing freely at her face. "I'M NOT LIKE THEM! KANATA, YOU IDIOT!" Miyu shouted as she ran into her room leaving a speechless Bawmeow and a brooding Kanata.
"Its true master Kanata," Bawmeow finally said, but it was too late now. The deed was already done, but yet, Bawmeow felt like defending Miyu at this moment. "It was an accident… my fault."
Kanata looks at the sitter-pet closely before speaking. "I… just," Kanata paused, remembering a past, a past he wouldn't think about. "It's just that… nothing, don't mind it, things will be better later… always. But I never saw Miyu cried like that…" Kanata still remembered the pained expression in Miyu's face. It was new, never have he saw the blonde girl cried like that. Kanata's features darken.
'What's wrong with me, why do I drive important people away from me…?' Kanata asks himself, thinking of the day, the brown haired girl went away. 'It was just like this…'
"Master Kanata, you've gone too far, though I expect Miyu to fight back but I think you hit her right buttons." The sitter-pet said, making Kanata sadder at the moment. At the same time a blonde haired baby came out of the corner, bouncing with the stuff-toy-like alien.
"I know… I should apologize to her…" Kanata finally admitted his faults; he won't lose another girl he loves, not ever again. His anger clouded his judgment, so it was really his fault. He should have talked to her calmly, even if it's her fault.
"PAPA! MAMA!" Lou cried, but Kanata ignored the baby and was still standing where Miyu left. Bawmeow, on the other hand, started to clean up the mess. The air on the Saiyonji Temple was sad, as if someone had died.
Finally the sitter-pet talked to the almost crying Lou, "Don't worry Lou! It happened, all the time… right?" Bawmeow said as he approaches the baby alien. But he didn't know if this argument would end just like a Lover's Quarrel, an argument that always happens to Miyu and Kanata nowadays.
"Damn you Kanata! I'm not like them. I love you, I really do..." Miyu finally said the words... although Kanata was not present when she said that.
Miyu was standing in the middle of her room, her desk, along with the roses given to her by Nazoumu, was full of crumpled paper, the trash can was also full of the same kind.
"I hate you! I hate you! I HATE YOU!" Miyu shouted at the of her lungs, risking the fact that in her hand, yes, was the letter she made all night for the unworthy one, would be found out, but an invisible law was passed down the moment she walk out from Kanata... The law is... Never approach Miyu's room by 10 meters radius. Or you're dead.
She's been looking at the letter, damp with tears and the name Miyu was smudge, for about 10 minutes that a unfortunate soul had 'wandered' in her room after she hid the letter, annoyed at waiting for the blonde girl...
"Aren't you finished moping? Are you going to cry all day, having to miss school?" Kanata taunted, 'This is bound to raise her spirit up' he thought, it works several times in the past. It seems insensitive at first, but when you see the real meaning, you could see that it 'may' be the best way to raise Miyu's spirit. But the blonde didn't bite it.
When Miyu doesn't respond and seemed to ignore him, like he was never there, in her room, HER room -a girl's room, where boys where unwanted, he tried one last joke on her, a joke that is a very sharp one and hard to wield, if it misses, then it's the end. Guess what the outcome is?
"Are you done smelling my boxers Miyu?" He smiled smugly and pretended to look around the room and his gaze stop at her desk. In her desk was a pink colored paper and a matching envelope and there was tons of 'failed' red heart shaped paper along with it. That's when he regretted saying his last words to her.
After a few seconds Kanata faltered, he gulps and readied himself to kneel down and apologize to Miyu. "Miyu," he said her name softly, "I'm s-" but he was cut.
"Is that a JOKE!" Miyu turned around, her eyes red from excessive crying and there were dried tears in her cheeks. A new batch of tears was forming in her eyes, the fact that she was crying so long made the tears delayed but does not stops it.
"Miyu, I'm..." Kanata kneeled and was starting his heartfelt apologize, but was cut again by Miyu.
"If it is, then it wasn't very amusing!" After saying that, a new batch of tears touches Miyu's cheeks as she ran passed Kanata, going to the Temple's entrance.
Kanata didn't have the time to felt any guiltier as he followed Miyu, ignoring Bawmeow's disappointed look along the way, and ignoring Lou's shout of 'Mama! Papa!' His only priority is to go to Miyu and apologize to her, he did not think of his pride.
Miyu was torn inside, her heart is aching, her mind was twisting and she felt that time was slowing down, to her horror. She did not ever think that Kanata was such a jerk, the idiot was so insensitive. She wondered how can she loved someone opposite of her dream man, it must be a mistake, she thought.
But as she recalls the memories, memories of them together, having fun like there's nothing in the world could stop them. Having seen some of Kanata's sentimental side, she felt she understands him, her parents is still alive but she's always left alone in the house, it was like they were dead. She felt that Kanata needed someone to listen to him reminiscing, because his father barely talks to him about his mother. And she felt the same way too... That's the reason she loved him. She was like him.
She never heard Kanata calling out her name, but she heard him when he grabs her elbows, with a force that's shows that he is a boy, effectively stopping her as tried to step on the stairs.
"Miyu! Wait... I'm sorry!" Kanata apologized, but Miyu kept on squirming and trying to get her elbow away from the boy's hands. So Kanata forcefully pulled her elbow, expecting that she would face him, but, instead of getting them together, Miyu slipped on the stairs by sudden force and thus, making her fall on the stairs slowly.
Kanata watches slowly as Miyu was falling to the long stairs of the temple. His feet were nailed on the ground, his body freezing. He couldn't do anything right… now he lost another girl. The amber eyes boy looked at the emerald eyes girl, somehow she's saying something, Kanata's eyes widen. It said: Good Bye.
Miyu whispered her good bye to the one she loved. 'Perhaps it is better this way…' She contently smiled.
Kanata snapped when he read Miyu's lips, 'No! I can't let you get hurt!' Kanata said to himself. "MIYUU!" Kanata cried as he made the first step of the stairs as a spring board as he jumps forwards to catch Miyu, even risking his own life.
The initial contact on the edge of the middle of the stairs made Miyu's vision blurry and dark, the next one become even harder and the next and the next… like a never ending pain, she felt her wrist dislocated as it produces a plopping sound. But soon she felt warm, like someone was protecting her…
"Miyu… I love you. I'll never let you go…" A boy's voice said… a voice that she recognized, but the words he used and his tones was something not familiar to Miyu. Oddly, she felt content. Was she having a delusion?
Her question never answered as the warmth, Kanata's warmth fades away as she slump at the middle of the stairs, not that she knew where she was. She slowly opens her eyes half way, at first her sight, it was was blurry and her right eyes only saw red. A figure was crawling towards her. His face was also bloodied, and he was crying… at her?
"Miyu, I'm sorry…" Kanata said as tried to reach Miyu's hands but before he could. She only smiled and closed her eyes, never opening them again. He looks at the bottom of the stairs. There, he saw, a pool of blood. At last he caught Miyu's hands, and he too smiled, before he, himself, looses consciousness.
To Be Continued…
