Chapter - 2

Kanata reached the Saionji temple and went out of his car. As soon as he entered, he heard his dad ask him, "Where did you run off to Kanata? Whose call was that? Was that your girlfriend's call?" Kanata sighed tiredly rolled his eyes and said, "It was a wrong number dad" Hosho interrupted him saying, "Oh really? Then why were you hurrying as soon as the call ended?"

Kanata narrowed his eyes and said, "If you would you let me continue then I would be able to tell you that it was a wrong number but I heard a crash so I went to the place to check if everything is all right."

"Okay. I won't interrupt now, you can tell me," Hosho replied with a serious look in his eyes. Kanata fell down anime style after hearing his dad's reply and yelled, "But I told you just now. Stop messing around dad. Don't you have stuffs to pack for your trip?"

"Everything is already packed and I made us dinner. Freshen up and we will have dinner together." with that said Hosho went into the kitchen to set up the table. Kanata quickly got refreshed and they both had dinner silently. Well Hosho was trying to say something and Kanata was smartly evading the topic. Finally after the dinner was done and when Kanata was washing the dishes, Hosho asked, "So, any plans on getting settled or at least finding you a girlfriend?"

"Not again dad. We have already discussed it before many times and I am not gonna repeat myself."

"Why? You are 25years old and you are well settled in your career. What else do you want before you agree to tie the knot?"

"No one interests me." was the blatant reply of Kanata.

"I am not getting any young Kanata. I want you to find a girl and introduce her to me when I come back from my trip." Hosho said while glaring at him. Kanata also glared at him and said, "Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to find a girl just like that? They are not an item to be sold in a super market that you are giving me an ultimatum."

"Whatever. You have one year which means 12 months and they are more than enough for you to find a girl. If you are not capable of doing that then prepare yourself to get married to my friend's daughter."

"You can't do that."

"I sure can. Try me."

There was a glaring contest between them. After some time of glaring at each other Hosho left the room but after saying, "Don't forget Kanata, "Saionji never backs down on his words." "

Kanata grumpily finished the leftover dishes and went to his room. Meanwhile at Miyu's place, she was having a hard time moving around the home. The pain in her ankle wasn't letting her get any sleep also. Just then Ruu snuggled closer to her making her smile fondly at him. She kissed his cheek while remembering his worried face when he saw the bandage on her ankle.

Flashback

Miyu closed the front door and turned around to find him staring at her bandage. Ruu looked up at her and asked her, "What happened mama?"

"Nothing honey. My ankle just got twisted. It will get better in no time so don't worry." Miyu said with a smile and continued while lifting take out bags, "I brought us dinner. Come on now. Mama is so hungry let's eat."

Miyu and Ruu were both having dinner while talking. Ruu was too quiet Miyu noticed but didn't ask him. Dinner was over and Miyu stood up slowly taking her plate in the kitchen to wash it. Ruu quietly came behind her and gave his plates. He stands besides her silently contemplating on whatever that's been going on in his head. Miyu sighed and asked him, "What's the matter Ruu? do you want something?"

Ruu shook his head and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt a lot mama?" pointing to her bandage. Miyu eyes widened and she crouched down to his eye level and smiled while saying, "Yup it hurts a little but if you keep that frown on your face then it will hurt more. So smile and give mama a hug." Ruu hugged her and asked, "I will do the dishes mama and you can take rest." Miyu laughed heartily at him and said, "But you hardly reach the tap honey. Don't worry I will get it done."

Ruu shook his head stubbornly and went out of the kitchen and was back in a few minutes with a small stool behind him. Miyu looked at him with amused eyes as he brought the stool near her and stood on top of it. Ruu smiled triumphantly and said; "Now I can reach the tap mama. You go take rest." Miyu ruffled his hair and said, "Okay I will wash the dishes you can dry them."

"But…." Ruu started saying but Miyu interrupted him saying, "No buts little boy."

"Fine" Ruu grumbled and started drying dishes and after finishing off their work they both got ready and went to bed. Miyu just got settled on her bed when the door to her opened and in stepped Ruu. Miyu sat up and asked him, "What's wrong dear?"

"Can I sleep with you today mama please?" asked Ruu. As soon as Miyu nodded her head, Ruu jumped on her bed and snuggled closer to her. She smiled at his antics. He soon fell into dreamland leaving Miyu to her own thoughts.

End of Flashback

Miyu brought him closer to her and she too fell into deep slumber. The next morning was a typical morning for both Miyu and Kanata.

Kanata woke up and found his dad on the door steps with his entire luggage. "You are awake. Good now listen up." Hosho said (A/N: Those in brackets are said by Kanata.)

1. Clean this temple every day.

2. I didn't have the time to do the laundry so get it done. (You were just lazy.)

3. I asked Mikan to look after you. So behave. (What am I? 5 years old?)

4. I made you the breakfast so you only have to wash the dishes. (Thanks for that.)

5. Grass in the lawn needs trimming so do that also for me please. (You are not serious. Are you?)

6. I asked my friends daughter to visit this temple sometimes to look if everything is all right. (Are you trying to set me up? If yes then it's not gonna work.)

7. This one's the last and the most important. (Just say it.)

"Find you a girl by the time I am back." (I thought you would have forgotten about it.)

Those are all and take care. Sayonara Kanata." Hosho left the temple saying everything and completely ignoring Kanata's little retorts. Kanata sighed and went in the kitchen to have some breakfast. Upon looking at the mess in the kitchen, Kanata's eyes widened and he yelled in fury, "Get back here dad. I am not gonna clean this mess." But his dad knowing his fury ran away in time to be safe from his only son's glares. He glared daggers at nothing and made a mental note to get the revenge when he comes back.

He grumbled and got to the work. Meanwhile Miyu was in almost the same state. She was also frustrated but not cause of the sudden work load but because the pain in her ankle, though reduced, was still giving her a hard time. She was slowly dragging herself through the morning. She called Shintani and asked him to bring her work at her place as she wouldn't be able to come to the office. He agreed and reached at her place as she got ready to drop Ruu at his school. Shintani got out of his car and saw Miyu locking the door. He also noticed the bandage on her ankle. Who wouldn't notice when it's so big and standing out. He reached her and said, "What are you doing?"

Miyu yelped in surprise and turned around with one hand on her heart. When she saw it was only Shintani, she glared at him and yelled, "Were you planning on giving me a heart attack?"

Shintani scratched his neck and smiled sheepishly and apologized and again asked, "What are you doing?"

"Can't you see? I am going to drop off Ruu at his school." Miyu replied hotly. She was just frustrated with this morning that it's better to keep a distance from her if you don't have a death wish. But Shintani being Shintani said, "I will drop him off to his school and you can take rest. If you walk around too much, your injury might worsen. Miyu stopped and thought for a minute but agreed eventually. She sighed and went back in the house after giving Ruu a kiss on his cheek and waving at him.
