Never had a Dream come True
A secret saga
Recap…
"I am Miyu, Only Miyu" she spoke the last two words in such a low voice that it was inaudible for him.
"Okay then, Miyu, what are you doing here?" he asked mockingly lifted his one eyebrow.
"Well" she coughed "that's a long story. But you haven't introduced yourself either." She said smiling.
"I am Kanata." The auburn-eyed brunette told coolly.
End of recap…..
Chapter 3
New life starts at Heiomachi
"Kanata? Only Kanata? Has he not a surname? Well it will be better not to ask him because if I ask then I have to mine also. It doesn't make sense." Miyu thought lowered her head.
"What happened?"
"Nothing Umm, could you tell me which is the nearest village from here?"
"It is Heiomachi. Follow this path and you will find it." He replied grabbing his horse's lace.
"Where are you going?"
"To my home, Heiomachi. Of course."
"You are going there too. May I go with you umm. I mean would you accompany me." She hesitated to ask him.
He sighed. "I don't want to throw someone in an unsecured place." He rode on his horse and pulled the lace making the horse a sharp neigh. "But if you can." He smirked.
"Hey, wait can't you allow me to get a ride." she moaned.
"Well, I can't. I don't offer an ugly, fully drenched with mud type of animal to go along with me on a horse." He pulled the lace again and this time it started to run.
'What? How did he dare to call me an animal? He must save my life but he is not so warm-hearted. I have no intention to go with him but I either I have no choice.' She thought.
"Okay then I can go by myself." Miyu humped.
The sun went back home, the horizon making his friend, sky blush at him. Along with the sun, all the folk of birds went home twittering.
"How long we have to go more! We have been wandering for about one hour you know." She said panting.
"More 30 minutes." He answered calmly.
"What more 30 minutes…..Hey look Is that Heiomachi?"Miyu yelled at the sight of some lights seemed to village houses.
"Yah! It is. Don't tell me you are already tired?" he smirked.
"Then why we have to go half an hour. It seems so near." She retorted.
"You should know that which seems to be near must not be always near." He said wisely.
"What a jerk! He referred me as an animal earlier and now he is advising me like I do know nothing at all. What does he think about himself?" Miyu said in her mind, not uttering a single word. Because she knew if she does she will fall in more danger.
After five minutes' walk they reached the village. Miyu surprised.
"You told me that it was still half an hour."
He could not but smirk.
"Aggh. He told me a lie. A little brat, an idiot." She thought while gritting her teeth.
"Then I am leaving." Kanata said kicking the horse.
"Would you please grant me another favour?" Miyu asked clasping and with a puppy dog face.
"Geez. Now WHAT?" Kanata said in disgust.
"I am so all alone. Please give me a shelter to stay for this night." She begged.
Kanata sighed and thought for a moment. "Okay, But after that please don't ask me for further help."
"Yes of course." She grinned.
After a while they stopped in front of a small but nicely decorated two stored cottage. Miyu saw a little flower garden in front containing many types of flower including hyacinth, lily, marigold, roses of different colours. Mean while Kanata knocked the door. After sometimes waiting a woman with shoulder-length brown hair, in her mid twenties opened the door.
"Good evening Kanata-san but what are you doing here IN 8 PM"Is there any problem?" she asked worriedly.
"Ahm, Yah Mikan-san I have" then he told her the whole story in brief.
Between their talking Miyu thought has he not a surname? Can't he take me there without disturbing others?" so many questions about him popped in Miyu's head.
"Then Mikan-san. Here she is, Miyu." He said pointing to Miyu.
"Okay Miyu-san. You can stay at my place how long you wish. Think this as yours." She welcomed Miyu with a warm smile. She got away from the door that Miyu could enter. She saw Kanata vanishing in the road. Ten she entered into the house with a little bit hesitation.
Miyu found a good smell coming from the next room. Smelling this she remembered that she starved for the whole day as her stomach ached in hunger. So she went the room and discovered that that was a dining room with a small wooden table, full of many food staffs.
"Muffins, cookies, cakes, strawberry pies! Wowww. May I eat these?" Miyu asked with widened, glittering eyes.
"Yes of course" Mikan nodded smiling.
~Never had a Dream come True~
There was no cloud in the sky. The sun had started to cast his rays freely, ordering to wake up. Some sun rays touched the window pane and made their way to pass through it. Then the sun rays fell on a blonde's face making her eyebrows itched.
"Agh! The sunlight." The blonde complained while covering her face with the back of her bare arm.
"Miyu-san. You are waken up already!" Miyu saw Mikan opening the door, with a tray. Mikan dropped the tray on a tea table beside Miyu's bed.
Miyu looked at the tray and said "Pastries!" well the tray didn't contain pastries only there was a cup of tea also.
"Miyu-san it seems you have fallen into a muddy tank, you stink." Mikan said with a weird look "Last night you were tired. So, I haven't said you." Mikan cupped her chin seemed to be thoughtful. Then her eyes lightened up with stars.
"But don't worry. I have a dress which you can wear." She said and left the room hurriedly.
Taking a dress from her closet, she returned in a minute.
"Miyu-san, this is it. I bought this from the fair last year. But it didn't fit on me; its size is smaller than mine." She handed over the dress to Miyu and left the room again. Miyu changed her dress and looked at her reflection on the polished mirror of 'her' room. It was casual pink frock with a wide red belt tied a bow at her back.
"It is simple but pretty." Miyu thought. Then she heard another female voice chatting with Mikan with a serious tone. After a moment Mikan came to her room.
"Miyu-san, you are just looking like a princess."
The word, 'princess' made Miyu to leap a heartbeat.
"Anyway Miyu-san, I have to go to the capital this now. I wished to show you a sight view of Heiomachi. But it is urgent. You may go with Kanata-san. Go straight and you will find him." Saying this she rushed out of the room and rode on a carriage with another short purple-haired woman. Mikan waved Miyu back.
~Never had a Dream come True~
Miyu got out of the house. She started to walk straight as Mikan said. Soon, she found Kanata brushing a horse.
"Ummo, Kanata"
"What?"
"Mikan-san wanted to show me this village. She has gone to capital for a certain wprk. So, she asked you to show me Heiomachi. You know I don' t know anything about this village….."
"Can't you see" Kanata said clenching his teeth "I'm doing something else."
"I would help you. If we two do it together then it will took a little time….."
"I don't need your help….." he shouted and faced to Miyu but his eyes widened when he saw her. Silence filled them.
"Kanata are you alright?"Miyu blincked.
"Ya-a-a-h" Kanata moved his face at anither direction."Okay you can come with me"
"Ah! Kanata arigatou" Miyu replied tied the lace of the horse with apole and started to walk.
Kanata showed Miyu the small houses, cottages, fields, farmers, the little market and at last a fearful forest which shivered Miyu. It was deper than the one where Miyu was. All of a sudden, some sparkling light fall on her eyes. "From where the light is coming!" she wondered.
Soon the mystery discovered. It was a big palace between the woods, the colourful window-pane of which was reflecting the light.
"It is Hanakomachi Castle" Kanata identified the palace. "It's the only mansion here. Great merchant family, Hanakomachi-s live here. They are very very rich."
Though, it was not as big as the 'Kouzuki Mansion', its beauty really charmed Miyu.
"There is one more thing which you may like to see." Kanata smirked.
Then they started to walk again.
