Title: The day they left. (Chapter 2-The dinner)
Author: khatzdaax3
Summary: What happens when Ruu and Wanya leaves.
The next day, everybody at school gave a farewell party for Miyu. There were tears but laughter had overshadowed all the sadness. Santa had given one of his rare Tofu-Man movies to Miyu. Nanami and Aya bought her a dress to wear. Christine had bought a pearl bracelet and Nozomu gave a bouquet of roses. Everyone had given gifts except for Kanata.
But, Miyu did not expect a gift from Kanata. She wanted something else, more like an answer.
Miyu-
Miyu has reached home without Kanata after school as Kanata had offered to cook dinner for Miyu, which Miyu actually declined but Kanata made her agree after much persuasion.
"I won't take too long as I would not be buying too many things, don't dream of a big feast." She could remember Kanata saying to which Miyu replied,
"Don't worry, I won't dream, you IDIOT!"
She was angry as to why Kanata had to put her down when she was feeling pretty lousy.
Miyu stayed in her room and she could not think straight. Kanata who was already home then was preparing dinner. The emerald eyed blonde was supposed to be packing her bags. She looked around the room and sighed as it would be the last day she would be staying there.
"Gonna take a while till I get used to my old home", Miyu talked to herself. Tears were threatening to come out of her eyes but she did not let them do its job.
She was obviously missing the baby, the laughter, the sadness in the baby's face when she and Kanata fought, the screams of the baby when he cries and of course Wanya.
"All of that is the past now", she thought as a tear streamed down her cheek even though she tried hard to control it from coming down.
'But what about Kanata?' her mind started questioning her.
Miyu kept silent for a few seconds.
"And what about him?" she asked back.
'Will he also be your past or will he be your present and future?' her mind countered back.
Still angry from Kanata putting her down, she replied back, "He will also be my past! That JERK, IDIOT, ARROGANT, STUPID GUY!..."
"But..."
'But what?...' her mind asked.
"But I wish...I wish that, Kanata will be with me all the time like he is now...to relieve me from this...from this loneliness...but...it can't happen can it?" Miyu did not realise that tears were coming from her eyes.
To that, her mind could only answer, 'Why can't it happen?' till the voice in her mind faded.
Miyu snapped out of her thoughts, wiped her tears which she wondered why had it come down for a guy who was rude, inconsiderate to her, maybe because...The knock on her room door jolted her back to reality.

Kanata-
Kanata came home to be welcomed by an empty and quiet house.
"The house used to be so much livelier...but that's all in the past isn't it?"
Seeing Miyu's shoes parked neatly at the side of the corridor, he assumed Miyu was home and in the room.
"I'm home!" Kanata shouted to inform Miyu. He changed and started preparing dinner.
'I bought quite a number of things', he thought to himself mentally slapping himself as to why he had said to Miyu he was not buying much but ended up doing the opposite. He was preparing a pumpkin dish and remembered the time he and Miyu did a pumpkin dish together.
The word 'together' kept appearing again and again in his mind.
"There won't be any 'together' anymore, after Miyu leaves too...no more walking or more like running to school together, no more going home together, no more having dinner together and most importantly no more arguing and bickering together.
"Just like old times right?" he tried to satisfy himself but deep inside he could digest the answer at all.
He was snapped back to reality by the sound of hot boiling soup spilling on the stove. He quickly erased all thoughts of a particular emerald eyed blonde and switched off the fire. Around an hour or so, he had prepared all the dishes he intended to do. He moved it to the table. Then he had an idea. He had a quick change in plans.
"All done...ah, better call Miyu out."
Normal conversation-
Kanata went to her door and knocked it slowly but firmly, trying not to think of the truth that this will probably be the last time he will be knocking on her door like that. Miyu came out and her eyes were quite red. Kanata saw it but did not probe further as he knew the reason to her bloodshot eyes.
To break the silence, the-everything-is-all-right-I-am-always-happy Miyu asked, "So...dinner is ready I suppose", and forced a strained smile. Just then she realised that she and Kanata were going to have dinner alone. They never had dinner alone when Ruu and Wanya were with them except for the first day she was there. Then suddenly, Kanata moved behind the unsuspecting blonde and covered her eyes.
"What are you doing?" the blonde asked, a bit jumpy.
"sshhhh...", was all he answered.
Even he did know why he was doing all these. First, the big dinner and now this.
She could feel his breath on the back of her neck and the closeness made her shudder.
"Keep quiet and just follow my movement." he whispered on her ear. Miyu just nodded her head and then she could feel herself being guided. They stopped at one point.
"I wanted to give you a proper farewell since it is your last day here." , he wanted to sound like he did not care but Miyu could sense a tinge of care and concern in his voice. He removed his hands from her eyes. Miyu could not believe her eyes. The table was laid near the porch (the place where Miyu/Kanata sits and watches the moon). There were candles on the table brightening up the place and surprisingly there was quite a spread. She did not know Kanata was so...romantic.
"ROMANTIC?, what am I thinking?, it's just a farewell dinner...although this is romantic...here I go again! SHUT UP MIYU!" Miyu mentally slapped herself.
"Remember, this is just a farewell dinner...", Kanata said as though he had just read her mind.
"Of course, yea what could it be?" the blonde answered back frowning.
They both took a seat and then Kanata started talking.
"I know this is your last day here, so just wanted to make this dinner a memorable one for you..."
Miyu went speechless.
'This guy can be so different at times, one moment he can arrogant and cocky, teasing me and making me fume but another time he can be so caring, making me go speechless. Does he care for me or not?'
'Just can't understand him...'
"Let's dig in then", Kanata's voice brought her back to reality. They ate mostly in silence occasionally Kanata bringing up a topic to talk about. They finished dinner and Kanata kindly cleared everything, while Miyu just sat there.
"Oi, Miyu, it's getting cold, let's go inside", the brunette informed Miyu. Miyu just nodded and walked past Kanata, she looking all listless. Not till a firm grip grabbed her hand as she walked past, did she spring back to reality. She came to a halt.
'Kanata, what are you doing?' was all she could think of but she could not say it out.
"Miyu...if you want to let it all out, just do it, don't keep it inside", he said with his face down, his brunette fringe covering his eyes, hiding all display of emotions in his eyes. The sentence was enough to break her facade.
