::Part two::
I really don't know what to say right now.
Thanks for all the review.
Now enjoy the last part.
Disclaimer: I do not own daa!!3
Ding Dong…
"Kanata!!! I come in!!" Outside Saionji residence, there's a girl wearing light blue dress slid the front door open and got in.
'This house is too quiet. Maybe Kanata went for a bath. Never mind that, what I need to do now is get ready and cook some meal for him.'
The girl went to the kitchen and put a plastic bag full of groceries on to the table. She then reached for an apron which was hanging by the refrigerator. She put it on and tied it at the back of her waist. 'I can do this. Let's begin!'
She started by putting the ingredients she needed in a bowl before rinsed it off and chopped it on the chopping board…
(sorry I will skip this part XD)
-a few minutes later-
The girl carefully scooped some soup into the soup bowl and placed it on the tray. She then arrange her steps towards the living room where there was a brunet boy lying on the sofa while listening to the i-pod. She put down the tray on the table and tapped Kanata's shoulder.
"Kanata, dinner's ready."
The brunet immediately sprang up from his back and sat straight on the sofa, "Akira?!"
'Thank goodness this locket can change my voice and now I can imitate her voice' Miyu thought to herself and smirked while placing her hand on the ruby locket hanging on her neck.
::In the darkness::
-Flashback-
"Moshi-moshi. Can I speak to Akira, please?"
"Speaking"
"Akira! This is me, Miyu."
"Oh hi Miyu! It's been a while, right?"
"Yeah… I'm quite busy nowadays. Umm… can I ask a favor?"
"Umm… maybe. I will do whatever I can. What is all about?"
"It's Kanata. He wanted me to ask you to take care of him for today. You see, he got into an accident today and now his eyes were bandaged to avoid infection…"
"If that the case, I can't help you." Said Akira.
"What do you mean you can't?"
"I have work today. In fact, I'm on my way now"
"B-but, how about Kanata?"
"I really can't Miyu."
A sigh was heard on the other line
"Don't be like this. I know you can take care of him, right?"
"But he wanted you…"
"I'm really sorry Miyu. Oh, I arrived at my work place now. Later Miyu!"
Click
Beep…beep…
Miyu stared on her phone dumbfounded.
::In the darkness::
After sending Kanata home with Miss Sakura's car, Miyu walk slowly down the path towards her home. Suddenly her ears greeted by a voice.
"Hello, young lady! Would you mind to see this magnificent artwork?"
Miyu stopped her walk and went closer to a dark blue hair boy and listen carefully.
"Today we have a rare item with us. Wanna see?"
Miyu nodded her head. The little boy pulled out a red velvet box from his back. Carefully he opened the box open. There was a beautifully carved ruby locket mounted on a silvery necklace which radiated some sort of color when the sun rays fell onto it.
"This is not an ordinary pendant." The boy took the locket out from its box and held it in his hand "It can change your voice to whatever you want to. See this button? Just push this button after you wear it onto your neck and start to imagine with your mind the exact voice you want to imitate."
"Any voice?" Miyu eyes widened.
The dark blue hair boy nodded. "Yup, any voice but you have to make sure you remember it thoroughly."
"I'll buy it"
"Thanks miss. Oohh… Before I forget, your voice will revert back to your original voice in two ways. Those are by un hooking the necklace or after 12am. Okay?"
'Just like Cinderella' thought Miyu. "Okay!" Miyu handed over the required money and the ruby locket changed its owner….
-end of flashback-
Miyu sat besides the table. "Sorry… I don't expect this will happen. I quite took a long time to figure out what dishes should I make for you." Kanata joined her at the table. "I made soup for you," She tugged her hair behind her ear, "I hope you like this"
"Nevermind that. Umm… can you hand over a spoon for me?"
"Nope"
"Why not? I'm starving…"
"You can't see, remember? Plus, it is still hot. I don't want your tongue burnt."
"……"
"Plus I will take care of you fully today, let me do all work, okay?"
"….." then, a sigh was heard, "okay…"
The blonde took a spoon and scooped the soup. "Say aahhh…"
The brunet looked hesitated at first but still opened his mouth and Miyu shoved the soup into his mouth. Miyu waited for an answer from Kanata but she only saw a blank expression in front of her.
"Umm… Is it good?"
'It's a little burnt actually.' The brunet just nodded his head.
"Is it? Thanks goodness you like it. Now let finish this." Miyu dipped the spoon into the soup again. "Open wide~"
"Wait," Miyu stopped her act, "have you eaten?"
"Yup, just before I come to your house. Never mind that, let finish this."
"Okay…"
The brunet happily ate the soup until the last drop. "Gochio-sama"
Miyu giggled a bit. "You really look like a little boy now"
Kanata smiled, "I really glad you are here now. You'll never know how delighted I am with you here alone…" Kanata turned his head trying to hide his crimson face to Miyu. 'Damn, I slipped my words.'
Miyu mouth gapped open. "Ehh??!!"
"Don't take it wrongly. I think I become over sensitive right now because I'm completely in dark and I can't see you now"
Miyu gave him a sweet smile.
"I don't think I can hide it from you now. Am I right?"
'He really looks very cute like this.' Miyu chuckled.
::In the darkness::
'Aaarghhhh…. I should not do this. At this time, I should spend more time with him… Arghh' Miyu accidently slapped the stagnant water on the plate in the sink and some of the water and soap from the sponge held in her hand splat on her cheek. She wiped it over with her bare hand, "Eww…"
Suddenly, there were steps on the hallway coming towards the kitchen.
"Akira?"
The blonde girl quickly turns her head to the source of voice. While turning, her long hair gently swooshed in the air, following the movement of her head. "Kanata…" she washed her hand and dabbed her hand on the apron which hanging on her neck. Then she hurriedly went closer to the brunet boy who was standing by the entrance to the kitchen. "What are you doing here? You should take your rest in your room. You may injure yourself if you wandering around like this."
"You don't have to clean those plates yet. Take your time. I heard many weird noises from my room coming from the kitchen"
"It's okay, it's okay. It didn't bother me at all." Miyu placed both of her hands on the brunet shoulders and turned him around. "Now come with me and let sit in the living room." The blonde girl pushed him towards the living room. "You can wait for me finish my work here while listening to music okay?"
Unknowingly…
THUD!
Miyu accidentally tripped on one of the book lying on the floor and fell onto the sofa.
"Ouch…" Miyu opened her eyes, revealing her emerald eyes. She gasped. 'Oh no… I'm on top of him…' Her face started to blush furiously.
Ba-dump
The surrounding became very silence and the time moved very slow around the two teenager.
Ba-dump
'humm… This scent…' the brunet thought deeply.
Miyu glanced to the boy beneath her, but his face didn't give any expression at all. She tried to get up, knowing how close they were right now. But, a pair of hands stopped her from doing getting up and embraced her, don't want to let go.
"Ahh…" Her face became more and more red. "Ka-Kanata…" Said the blonde girl, half whispered.
"Please… Stay like this for a while…"
Ba-dump
"I feel much secured when I know there's somebody besides me when I'm completely in darkness."
His voice seemed so soft and alluring. Unknowingly, the blonde girl moved her face closer to the boy's face and closed the gap between their lips. It's quite a while before the kiss broke.
"Akira?"
Miyu snapped from the wonderful dream she got just now. She quickly got up and made a gap between them. She didn't know why she had done that. 'I'm Miyu! Not Akira!' shouted her heart. Tears started to form in the corner of her eyes. "I'm sorry". Miyu could sense her voice trembling.
Kanata got up from his lying position and sat facing the girl. He smirked. "I wish I can see your face right now." He placed both of his hand onto her cheeks and rested his head on top of her before started kissing her again.
It's a pleasure… but deep inside Miyu's heart was bleeding. 'Kanata… Do you know this is me? Do you know the person in your arms right now is Miyu, not Akira?'
::In the darkness::
-At the hospital-
"Just a few minutes more and then you can see the world again. Don't worry!" the blonde girl paused, "I wonder where is Miyu. I already tell her about this and she said she wanted to accompany you too today. She's a sweet person, doesn't she?" Said the girl, still acting as if she was Akira instead of Miyu.
"Yup, I know about that" Kanata smirked.
Miyu looked down to the floor, 'soon, my act is over.' She tried to loosen her grip but Kanata tightened it. She looked up; glanced to the brunet face, trying to understand what was his intention.
"I hope this moment will not end."
"Hahh??"
"It's true that I can't see the world revolves around me right now, but, I am really happy to be with you."
Miyu gasped. "Is that so?"
He said nothing. He just buried one of his palms into his brunet locks.
The blonde gave a blank expression. 'He telling me this because he think I'm Akira. He never acted like this before. He never praised me or even happy when he was with me. I am nobody in his heart.'
"Well, you know, someone will never or can't hide his or her feeling very well when the person he or she likes is not in their sight." He paused, "I admit, last night is the happiest moment in my life."
Miyu felt numb. 'Do you know who accompanied you last night? It's me, ME!' Miyu bowed her head, looking down again.
"Are you sure you want me to be with you?"
"Yup"
"Me and not anybody else?"
"Yup" The brunet gave a sweet smile.
'This is the time… I have to tell him that I am not Akira. Although he may hate me after this. But it is now or never. I want to know, if I tell you the truth behind this veil, do you accept me?' Miyu inhaled deeply trying to get some strength. "Umm… Kanata… Actually– "
The brunet tightened his grip onto the girl hand. "I like you. I like you from the start."
There's a breeze of wind passed by and blow some of her hair and made it dancing in the air, but Miyu just stand there, dumbfounded. There was a brief period of silence before someone spoke again.
Kanata's face turned crimson. "Ahh… I shouldn't tell this yet. I should wait after this…"
'Who? Whom are the words for?'
"Saionji Kanata, please get in." A nurse wearing a white uniform appeared at the door way.
'Now I'm Akira. So, the word is for Akira?'
"We continued this later, okay. Wait for me!" Said Kanata before followed the nurse who took his hand and lead him to the doctor.
'No, I can't!' Tears began flowing down her cheeks. 'I'm not Akira!'
::In the darkness::
Miyu walked down the path helplessly. Her surrounding was so serene with birds flying and chirping above her. But all of that didn't reflect what's inside her heart right now. But suddenly someone clapped her on her back. She slowly turned her back and saw a raven haired girl grinning behind her.
"Hi Miyu!"
"Akira…"
Akira was actually her neighbor. That's why they go quite well with each other although she knew Kanata got a crush on her.
"How's Kanata?"
Miyu tilted up her eyebrows and shoulders, "I don't know…" She went to her front gate and opened it. It gives a squeaky shriek. "I don't meet him"
Akira felt a little weird with Miyu's behaviour but she didn't want to ask more about it yet. She then turned her head to her side, a boy who was still puffing and inhaling a deep breath stopped by her side. She smiled to the boy.
"Hi there! Are you okay now?"
"Oh, hi Akira!" said the boy, lifting one of his hand to the air.
'that voice!' Miyu swing her body and faced the boy. "Kanata…" but, something popped into her mind. 'He must be wanted to see Akira about that.' As soon he thought that, she dashed down the street leaving them astonished.
"Miyu?!!" Akira called her name.
'NO! I'm not strong enough to hear all of that. I don't bear my heart to be crushed into pieces.' Thought Miyu while closing both of her ears while running away from her crush and neighbor.
::In the darkness::
A blonde was by the river bank squatting herself and hold her knees tight. Tears still flowing down her bare cheeks, but she left it there unwept. Thankfully, her sobbing was carried by the wind and made it unheard by the passerby. The wind also swept the footsteps approaching the girl.
"That is so exhausting"
Miyu opened her eyes in shock and turned to the voice. She harshly wiped her tears and got up to her feet. As she trying to make her first move away from the brunet, a hand grasped her wrist, stopped her.
"Let me go" said the blonde, facing her back towards the boy.
"No"
"Why, are you doing this to me?"
No answer.
"Please… Let me go."
"You know what, Miyu. I really want to taste your burnt soup again."
Miyu faced the boy abruptly. Her reddish emerald orbs trying to find an answer from the smirked boy in front of her.
The boy nodded. "I know it was you at the first place." Kanata pulled her arm and embraced her. "Because Akira is not a lousy cooker like you."
Miyu pushed the boy away, frowned. The boy just gave a smirk and took her into his arm again, "But, whatever it is, I love you"
