Oh ya… you guys must be wondering why Miyu is depicted as 15 in Prologue I, but 14 in Prologue II. And you know the reason why…?

;-)

Cause it's the beginning of November in the story:-P

MAKE A WISH

It was a dark, cold night in the little town of Heiomachi when fourteen-year old Miyu Kouzuki was walking back to her empty house, carrying two huge bags of groceries, humming to herself but all the while, her mind elsewhere.

She had had the weirdest feeling when she had woken up that morning. It was as though someone called out to her to help them with something. That had become one of the reasons why she couldn't concentrate one bit on her classes the entire day and also miserably make a fool of herself in front of her crush, Mizuki Yamamura—the star athlete of the school.

She sighed as she wondered what was going to happen.

As her watch beeped indicating it was 9PM, Miyu stopped in her tracks for a second and closed her eyes.

Her long blonde hair lightly moved with the wind as she took in a deep breath and muttered with a smile, "Hi… I had an average day today. Hope yours was better… and I had the weirdest feeling this morning… what do you have stored for me, hah?"

Miyu smiled as she finished her little conversation with God.

She was about to open her eyes when she heard a whisper to her ear, "I'm sorry I have to burden you with this…"

His kind and affectionate voice warmed Miyu in that cold night.

She opened her eyes, confusion evident in her face but it was multiplied manifold when she was greeted by a handsome looking brunet seemingly just a year or two older than her, sprawled on the sidewalk, massaging the back of his head.

"A-are you okay?" Miyu asked as she placed her groceries on the floor and kneeled to take a better look at his state.

"Shit…" the boy cursed under his breath.

Miyu looked at him and noticed the pale tone of his skin which seemed to glow lightly in the darkness of the night and also by the dark clothes that enveloped his slim body.

Miyu was debating whether to leave or to see if she could help when the brunet caught her eye.

"Good god," he gasped and under his breath added, "I can't believe this! He sent me to a girl!"

"Sorry…?" Miyu said, obviously confused.

With a swift movement, the brunet got to his feet and said formally, "Greetings… My name is Kanata and I'm here to grant your wish. You are herein selected to be my Master for the Make A Wish Program… I… hey where are you going?"

Wish I: The Encounter at Night

"What was that…?" Miyu muttered under her breath as she stopped at a lamp-post, gasping for air.

"You forgot your bags by the way".

Miyu never even bothered to turn for she could feel the brunet right behind her and even more alarming was that she felt him floating in thin air.

Kanata sighed and muttered under his breath, "Why do I have to get the crazy one?"

With that, he started to sprint in the direction of the blonde and didn't bother to slow even though he was receiving some funny glances from a lot of the people who passed him in that almost deserted road.

As he caught sight of her long blonde hair, Kanata stopped for a millisecond to get momentum before he made a sharp jump and landed right in front of her, shocking her to a stop.

"Can you not run anymore?" the brunet asked, obviously irritated.

Miyu breathed heavily, catching a stitch to her side, "w-who are y-you?"

"I told you," he said, raising an eyebrow, "I'm Kanata…"

Miyu took a deep breath before asking, "Okay… What are you?"

The brunet sighed.

"You definitely can't be human with the way you jumped…" Miyu said, her hands trembling lightly as she tried to draw all of her remaining strength, "and you floated… you actually floated…"

"I'm not human!" snapped the brunet, and looked as if insulted and said, "humans are a waste of time…"

Miyu was too scared to be angry and letting it pass, asked, "Then what are you?"

"I'm an angel…"

Miyu blinked.

"And there she goes again," Kanata sighed as he saw the blonde sprinting away from him again, into a darker street.

After sprinting for another five minutes with her emerald irises closed tight, Miyu stopped and caught her knees, breathing hard. Her hair fell over her shoulder and a few loose ends stuck to her sweating cheek.

"Ain't she cute?"

Miyu's heart froze as she heard that chilling voice.

She looked up, and stiffened as she saw two shadows emerging out of the darkness of that deserted dead end.

She turned to move but the fat thug-like guy grabbed her arm at once and pulled her much to the ear-splitting shrieks of the poor blonde.

"Let go of me!" Miyu screamed as the fat guy grabbed her around her waist with both his arms.

The two let out fits of laughter at her vain protests.

As the fat guy held her, the guy with odd piercings in his ear, lips and eyebrows came to face her. He smirked, showing even yellow teeth. As he brought his face closer to her teary one, Miyu could smell dead rat from his mouth.

"Save me…" she muttered, praying.

That was when she heard him.

"Wish it…"

She opened her eyes and was surprised to see that the guy before her was as still as ice. But she couldn't break free of the grasp of the fatso who was still holding her.

She turned to look around at why this suddenly happened and her eyes rested upon the young brunet who was floating few feet above her, his head resting upon his palm.

"Mister… please save me…" she called out to him.

"Wish it human…" he replied, squatting in thin air.

"What?" she asked.

He came down to her level and said, "I can save you… But you gotta accept being enrolled in this program and wish it…"

"What do you mean wish it…?"

He raised his eyebrows and at once the pierced guy started moving toward her lips again and the grip of that fat guy tightened as though they just came back to life.

"Kiss me baby…" the guy said slimily.

"I wish you'd beat them up!"

Miyu opened her eyes as she heard the gasps of the two thugs. A strong wind was blowing about them and the two were backing away a little as the eerie wind continued to blow. Miyu was surprised but she was most thankful that the fat guy was letting go of her.

"W-what's happening?" the other guy asked, nervously.

Suddenly as Miyu watched with wide eyes, the brunet, a shadow in himself with pale skin and clothed fully in black appeared out of thin air beside the piercing guy and grabbed his head and with one swift motion made him fall against the wall, his bald head oozing with blood.

Miyu closed her eyes tight, all while hearing the ear splitting screams of the two guys who tried to molest her. Unable to stand all that shrieking, she finally yelled, "Stop it!"

Kanata's fist stopped inches away from hitting the already wounded face of the fat guy.

"Are you sure?" asked the brunet, his face blank as he let go of the two people who were actually hanging in mid-air as though some invisible force was holding them by their cuffs.

They fell to the floor with a loud thump and a groaning from both was heard as Kanata landed right before Miyu gracefully as expected out of an ace angel.

"Yea," Miyu breathed nervously.

She gave the two guys rolling on the floor in pain a look before shivering inwardly.

"Let's just get outta here," she said and started to walk out of the street.

Kanata stood there for a few seconds before the trotting blonde stopped and turning around asked nervously, "you coming…?"

Kanata smirked as he started to gently walk out of that deserted alley. As he got out and safely in the lights streaming from the street lamps, he stopped for a second and seeing that the blonde was a safe few feet away from him, pushed one hand into his pant pockets and snapped his fingers.

The two lying on the floor limply turned to ash and vanished into the air and into the night.

Kanata's smirk widened as he pushed his other hand into his pockets as well and followed his new "master".

End Wish I
