Chapter 1

Obstinacy

It was a dull morning in a small town called Heomachi. There wasn't any bright sunlight, any birds chirping or for that matter, any happiness in the air.

What made it worse was that the two aliens, who Miyu and Kanata had grown fond of, had returned to their home plant.

Miyu Kouzuki was feeling morose.

It was as if the weather depended on her mood and expression.

Apparently, the blond girl was feeling feverish.

But, Miyu could be as stubborn as the mouse which had moved in 6 months ago, and wouldn't leave. No matter what Kanata would do, (Yes only Kanata. Miyu was too scared to approach the mouse. Yes, she did get teased for that fact by Kanata.) the mouse wouldn't bulge. But that was a completely different story.

Basically, Miyu Kouzuki refused to admit that she was affected with viral fever.

So, she got up, and went to the bathroom freshen up and get ready for school.

While splashing water on her face, she remembered something. Or rather someone.

Kanata.

If he got to know she had fever, he would never let her go to school. She really wanted to go to school today because she had nothing to do at home and in school she could meet her friends and stay happy.

She decided that she would stay away from the Brunette boy for the rest of the day.

But of course, staying away from Kanata wasn't an easy task, because he was her housemate, classmate and best friend!

She got out of the bathroom and quickly walked down the hallway, when fate decided to let go of her hand.

She bumped right into the brunette boy since she wasn't looking where she was going and both of them fell backwards. But Kanata was quick in actions, and got hold of himself just in time, as well as grabbed Miyu's hand before she could fall.

"Thanks Kanata..." Miyu said. But Kanata wasn't quite paying attention to her thanks. He was more preoccupied in the fact that the blond in front of him was warm- Very warm.

Too warm.

'Why is your hand so warm? It's burning!" Kanata exclaimed, extending his free hand to touch her forehead.

But Miyu couldn't let that happen. She jerked her head back, and snatching her hand out of his, took a few steps backwards.

"Oh, that... um.. I just washed my hands with hot water, so maybe that's why they are... hot."

Miyu tried her best to give a real laugh. But with such a gloomy day lingering above her head, she couldn't help but force out a laugh.

However, Kanata didn't believe her.

In fact, he gave her a as-if-I-believe-you look and asked her if she thought he was an Idiot.

"Yes!" Miyu retorted immediately, and made a run for it.

Kanata was astonished at her actions and pondered whether he should go after her or not, but figured out it was probably Miyu being childish. Besides, he had to get ready for school.

Both teens were ready by 7:40 am, and had twenty minutes to reach school. Since school was ten minutes away from the temple, they decided on walking to school together, slowly.

While walking, Miyu made sure that she was 5 ft. away from Kanata, and this did come in notice to him. He could not help but feel troubled due to this mere fact.

To make it worse, whenever he tried to get near her, she would simply scoot away from him.

They reached school at about 7:50 am, so they had ten minutes to spare.

"Miyu! You're early today! Good, that gives us time to talk!"

Miyu could not help but feel insecure at this statement. It wasn't the wordings. It was the way Nanami said it. She seemed happy. Whereas, she herself was not feeling good.

But if you looked properly, it appeared as if the whole school was happy, because she saw bubbly and exited students everywhere.

"Yes Nanami. I got up early today, so I decided to come to school early." Miyu said.

She tried to sonud cheery, but what came out was the total opposite.

"Are you okay Miyu? You don't seem yourself today." Aya asked her.

"As a matter of fact, She does look pale, doesn't she?" Santa said.

As soon as Miyu heard all this, she got alert and straightened up. She didn't want her friends to sent her to the clinic. Then she would simply have to go home.

"I am just a bit tired guys; I stayed up a bit late yesterday."

Now, if Kanata would have heard this, there would only be one statement in his head.

She's lying.

But since Kanata was currently taken over by fan girl's, he wasn't able to hear a thing.

Everyone looked at each other, and decided to play along.

"Okay Miyu, but if you feel tired or worn out, please let us know." Christine said.

When the bell finally rang and her friends went to their respective seats, Miyu gave a sigh of relief.

What she didn't know was that a certain brunettes auburn eyes were on her the whole time.
