(A/N: Entry.. After a year they left Heiomachi..)

Why vacations are long?

The brunette shook his head. Odd thoughts. But they would run rampant on your head again tonight, no matter how much you shake or read comics.

He could remember that last year like this Sunday night; he was smiling with friends all the way home like nothing happened, and even tried to deceive himself well. But..

"Kanata!" a voice screamed. He could not even hear. This happens often with him now, all the week, he gets inadvertent any moment or the other.

"Kanata!" The monk yelled once again.

"Whoa!" Kanata jumped, "What's it?"

"What happened to you? Am shouting your name for hours.."

"Come to the point now.." Kanata said in his typical careless voice.

"Well all points are vague now compared to you" Hosho nodded, "Why don't you go out with Santa? All these days you are sitting idle at home.. what happened actually?"

"You know am always like that, what's new?" Kanata questioned back.

"Nah, it's intolerable this time, in my absence you have grown much more idle and careless.. then you gave excuses of school tasks, but now.." Hosho blinked in an dissatisfied tone, "It's not good.. just go for a walk, NOW!"

"Hey, I don't feel like walking now!" Kanata went harsh.

A dispute, then Hosho dragged Kanata out of the main gate, "Have a good evening walk! It's also good for appetite! Bye!"

"Huh, that old mad.. "

Kanata walked down the steps, through the streets found himself walking towards the mountain way, opposite to the town. He stopped by the fences near grassland. On the other side the medium mountains were visible where the Sun was setting then.

This's the place, one evening when Seiya tried to kidnap Ruu and the UFO crashed.. he and Miyu, through these grasses, made a shortcut to the mountains..

He looked and looked, left hand over the fences with palm stretched, and the right inside the pocket. The last beams of sun were playing fascinating artworks of shadows over his face..

Hell.. there's not a single place in this town without their memories. Even the broken fence here... the same, everything's same, just the people are erased..

Kanata sighed, Again am..

He was about to leave, and a voice commanded, "Hey..Don't move!"

Eh?

A girl at a little distance was silently drawing something.

Now he remembered, yes, when he came here she was setting her canvas, but lost in his own thought Kanata did not pay any attention.

"Excuse me?"

"Am sorry, but please don't move a while. it's almost complete.. go back to your previous posture!"

Kanata felt amazed, a unknown girl ordering? He raised one eyebrow, but waited there for sometime. The girl did not waste a word more until she finished.

"Aah! Completed!" She smiled like a child looking at him, "Thanks! Wanna see?"

"W-Well" Kanata's astonishment was increasing every moment. He stepped towards the girl.

"God! It's marvellous!"

"It's not bad ?" The hazel eyes burned on childish joy, "Though the credit mostly goes to you, unless you standing that way or unless the sunshine was like that- it never would have been possible, you know, I believe one don't draw pictures, it just happens.."

Kanata's eyes widened, how this girl is talking like a old known friend.. really crazy.. He thought, as watching her dark blue hairs covering her hazel eyes every now and then she was speaking.

"Oh, silly me" Suddenly she reminded, "My name is Hayaka.. Hayaka Katayama.. my parents were transferred here just last week.." she spread her hand for a handshake.

"I am Kanata Saionji.. "

"Nice to meet you.." Haya smiled. Then suddenly she hastened, "Ohh! It's really late, and you can't imagine how mom will yell at me if I don't go back now.."

Kanata could not but laugh at her tone. She's really crazy.. "Where do you live?"

"Well.. let me count.. one, three.. seven! block C7 number 3 ! Guess how I reminded?"

Kanata did not want to stop her, he was unwillingly getting involved. "How?"

"4th uneven and 2nd uneven! I mean, think it.. 2nd even numbered uneven and 1st even numbered uneven.. which mean.."

Kanata could not but chuckle, she did not care. They were walking back together, none of them concerned about the path.

"Where do you live, by the way?" she asked suddenly after her long lecture about numbers.

"You are standing here now.." Kanata commented.

"Eh?" Haya wondered as she saw the steps, "Whoa! So you are from heaven!"

"Hea-?" Kanata gasped.

"All the week, while walking past here, I used to think these stairs must lead to heaven, as I never could see their ending.." she said in an innocent voice, which made Kanata chuckle again.

"There is a temple over there, and don't say I am a caretaker there.."

"Not like that.." For the first time Haya got a little red over her cheeks, making her creamy skin more beautiful. For a moment, and she got back to her self again.

"Bye Kanata..! Will come a day to visit the temple.."

"Welcome..!"

Kanata smiled as her posture went far to further away. A happy smile after a lot of days. After..

Eh? No! Nothing like that! NEVER!

Anyway, the girl is sure crazy..

(A/N: Well, Let Kanata think more.. Please Review if you like that or dislike... :) )
