A/N: I haven't been writing lately. But now I'm back. I'll talk a little bit about my other stories. "Mixed and Misunderstood" is still incomplete. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. If I do continue it, I might take it down and rewrite the chapters. We'll see. And for "Friends" I don't know if I'll continue it or just leave it as a one-shot. Anyways, hope you enjoy this new story. And don't worry, I will complete this one.
Disclaimer: I do not own D3! or any of the characters, Mika Kawamura does.
It was nightfall in the small town of Heiomachi. Our scene begins at a temple on top of a giant hill. The house is pretty empty except for two teens.
"Miyu, are you going to stay in your room forever?" Kanata asked knocking on his roomate's door.
"Go away!" Miyu shouted.
"Geez, are you still mad at me?" Kanata asked again.
No response came from the girl.
"Miyu...I'm sorry, okay?"
"Great, why do we always argue? Always. Well it's not my fault she keeps misplacing my clothes. And then she has to yell at me when I forget to put the toliet seat up, but you don't see her yelling at her younger brother? Seriously, she's living with two guys, what does she expect?! But I guess I'll be the 'bigger person' this time and apologize." Kanata thought..
"Miyu, you've got to eat sometime." Kanata said again, trying to get the blonde out of her room.
"No I don't!" she yelled back just as her stomach growled, loudly.
"That's not what your stomache's telling me." Kanata said smirking.
"You got in a fight with nee-chan again, huh." a voice said.
"Ruu." Kanata said turning around to face the boy.
"When are you two ever going to stop fighting and just admit your feelings." Ruu said loud enough for his sister to hear.
"What?!" Miyu yelled slamming her door open. "Why would I ever like this dimwit!?"
"Riiight." Ruu replied walking away. "It always works."
"That little....." Miyu muttered angrily.
Kanata let out a small snicker and Miyu realized what had just happened. But before Miyu could go back in her room, Kanata caught her wrist and made her stay.
"Look, Miyu. I'm sorry, okay?" Kanata said sincerely.
Miyu bit her lower lip and turned away from Kanata's gaze.
Kanata let out a sigh and released his grip on Miyu's wrist. But she still stayed, just staring at her feet. And then in one swift motion, Miyu was in Kanata's arms.
"What are you-" Miyu said, struggling to release the boy's hold.
"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry Miyu?" Kanata whispered into her ear.
Miyu's face flushed as his warm breath landed on her face. "Let go of me Saionji." she finally managed to utter.
"Not until you forgive me." he replied.
"................alright."
And with that, Kanata let go of the girl and smiled. "Hurry up and eat your dinner before it gets cold."
"Yeah, yeah." she replied, face still red.
"What are you blushing for? It's not like that hug meant anything. I'd never like a dimwited girl like you." Kanata teased.
"Argh! Baka Kanata!" Miyu yelled at the retreating figure.
Miyu's POV
Kanata's so stupid! As if I would ever like a guy like him either. He's so mean. I don't even get why he's popular. Sure he's athletic and smart, but his personality is terrible. And I'm the only one who he acts mean to. At school, he's acts nice to everyone, but he's not. He's a big, fat, meanie! He makes me so mad!
My thoughts were interrupted as the phone rang.
"Saionji Residence." I answered.
"Miyu." a familiar voice responded.
"Mom."
"How are you doing dear?" my mom asked.
"I'm fine." I replied.
"Are you fighting with Kanata?" she asked. Ack. Right on the mark. I guess this is what they call mother's intuition.
"No." I lied.
"Right. How's Ruu doing?"
"He's fine too."
"That's good."
"What do you want mom?" I questioned.
"What makes you think I want something. I just want to check up on you two. I mean I get so worried all the time, thinking about you three being all alone in that big house. Especially you Miyu, I mean you're already 15 and so is Kanata. A guy and a girl living together....just worries me."
"Hold on mom. You were the one that left us here. It's not like it was my choice to live here with that guy." I said as Kanata walked into the room. "Your mom?" Kanata mouthed. I nodded my head in response.
"Well, I still get worried."
"Yeah yeah, what do you really want mom?" I asked.
"Well...I was wondering if you two would go check up on our old house." my mom said.
"What?"
"Just to make sure everything's still intact."
"Wait. I thought we sold our old house." I asked rubbing my temple with my fingertips.
"No, of course not dear. You didn't think we would be staying at the Saionji's forever did you? I mean, it would just be a bother to them anyways. After your dad and I get back from America, we planned to move back in."
"Alright, I get it. But where am I going to get the key?"
"I already sent a letter with the key attached. You should have gotten it today." my mom said. I leafed through the mail and found the letter she was talking about. I opened it and the key fell out.
"Okay mom, I got it."
"Thanks dear. Oh, I've got to go. Your dad and I love you Miyu. Send our love to your brother too. Bye." she said hanging up.
*Sigh* My mom is so troublesome. Always making decisions on her own without even consulting her own children. First deciding to move here, then leaving for America and now this. Great...
"So your mom wants you to check up on your old house?" Kanata questioned.
"Yeah. I thought we sold our old house, but I guess not."
"Hmm."
"I'll go tell Ruu." I said as I walked out of the kitchen.
"Don't forget to eat your dinner." Kanata said.
I let out a small giggle as I waved back in response. That was actually pretty sweet. I guess even the devil can have a nice side once in a while.
"Hey Ruu." I said knocking on my brother's door.
"What?" he responded.
"Mom just called. She sends her love. And...she wants us to check up on the old house." I said entering his room.
"Our old house? I thought we sold it."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too, but I guess not."
"Hmm, when are we going?"he asked.
"Well, we already have the key. And tomorrow is a weekend so might as well get it over with and go as soon as possible."
"I'm busy tomorrow." he replied.
"Doing what?" I asked.
"None of your business."
"A date with Momoka perhaps?" I teased.
"Shut up nee-chan." Ruu said, obviously blushing. It makes me wonder how this 12 year old already has a girlfriend, and his older sister doesn't have a boyfriend. Is that lame, or what? Well, it's just that, there's nobody I really like so. Agh, whatever, why am I even thinking about this.
"So you're not going?"
"Yeah. Why don't you get Kanata to go with you."
"No way. Not even if he was the last person on Earth." I replied.
"Oh, how mean." a familiar voice said.
"Yeah, did you hear that Kanata, nee-chan doesn't want to go with you." Ruu said mockingly.
"Oh, I'm so hurt." Kanata replied, matching Ruu's level of childishness.
I rolled my eyes at these two immature brats. "Do you even want to go?"
"Hmm...now that I think about it. It is better if Miyu goes all by herself. It's a chance to prove that she actually has guts." Kanata teased.
"You jerk."
"Of course, if you're scared I'll go with you. That is, if you treat me to something."
I sent a death glare to the brunette boy. How dare he? Who does he think I am? That stupid idiot. This is exactly why I didn't want to go with him, much less ask him in the first place. Because he'd get all high and mighty and find some way to tease me for it.
"Whatever, you two settle your little lover's spat outside." Ruu said kicking us out of his room.
"I've told you a million times, I don't and never will like this idiot! And since when did my little brother get so bratty." I yelled at his door.
No response came from the room. Knowing my brother, he probably plugged in his earphones and turned the music on full blast. Just to "drown my voice out". What a little brat.
"So, tommorow right?" Kanata said.
"No way." I said glaring at him.
"C'mon Miyu. I was just kidding about treating me. Besides, would you really want to go alone? What if you get kidnapped? What if the house is a total mess from a burgular? Or maybe, a monster has been living in your room." Kanata teased.
"Y..you j..jerk." I said. The thought sent chills down my spine. What if Kanata was right? What if the house was a mess? How would I be able to clean it all by myself. I know that Aya and Nanami are busy tomorrow, so I don't want to bother them. And everybody else probably has plans. So Kanata is my last resort. Shit, life is unfair.
"I'll take that as a 'yes' considering how pale you look." Kanata said smirking.
"Whatever." I said walking away from him. I could hear him laughing his head off, probably planning of more ways to scare me. As I've said and been saying "What a jerk!" Tomorrow is going to be hell.
Next Time:
A Day In Hell
"If you really do like nee-chan, you should just tell her soon. I'd rather not hear you guys have your lover's spat everyday."
Kanata Saionji never spaces out, or burns anything. That's Miyu's job. What is wrong with me today?
"Tokyo sure is big compared to Heiomachi."
"Let's go, my house is this way."
"How cute."
"Don't even say anything Saionji. Just eat your damn food and let's get out of here."
"A girl can only take so much fighting. If you don't hurry up and show that you love her, someone else is going to come along and snatch her away."
"...I can't take it anymore Kanata. We're always fighting. It's just...so tiring."
"I'm sorry."
