Chapter 4: Miyu's Birthday Present

Disclaimer: D!3 Aint mine

A/N: This is a rewrite from my original one that I have in MediaMiner. I will update that as well because quite frankly, I like this one more. Well that depends on the reception. I warn the younger readers that the later part contains explicit content. Parental Supervision is advised.

::::::::::::::

Cheerleading practice had gone well. Fortunately when Miyu explained how she was going out with her family tonight to celebrate her birthday, Saionji-sensei let her off the hook. But she had to do double next week. But nothing could ruin her mood now. She couldn't wait for tonight. So enough of the preliminaries and let's go to the main event.

::::::::::::::

Miyu and her family stood outside of the restaurant waiting for Nanami and Aya to arrive. Her parents didn't mind at all because it's nice for Miyu to find herself two good companions to celebrate this occasion. Miyu's mom and Ruu waited inside while herself and her father waited for the two guests.

They seem to be taking their time to get there so we shall take this moment of peace to describe Miyu's garb. She had on a nice baby pink dress which came about 2 inches above the knees. From the waist down, the dress poofed out to give it a slight-fifties style. Her hair was well straighten and a nice blue ribbon tied on the very end of her hair nicely resting on Miyu's back, and in her arms sat... Wannya?

"I am so glad you got them to let Wannya in, Dad." Miyu smiled playing with her cat.

"Well quite an argument, just pretend he's your Seeing Eye cat."

"Eh!?"

"Never mind that, aren't those your friends?

He pointed towards a cab. Then she eyed her father, "How would you know?"

He laughed nervously then shrugged.

"Miyu!" Nanami came out in a simple strapless purple dress. Her hair was done one sided fashionably, "You look absolutely gorgeous!"

"Thanks," Miyu said quickly, "But where's Aya?"

"She called me earlier and said she'll be arriving a little late. She must be torturing herself about the perfect dress to put on for tonight.

"Cool that's okay then." Miyu smiled, "Oh yeah, before I forget. Papa, this is my friend and classmate from school, Tenchi Nanami. Nanami, I would like you to meet my papa, Kouzuki Yuu." Miyu introduced them to each other.

"I'm honored and pleased to meet you sir. But I must apologize for the delay of our other friend is causing. But on behalf of her, I would like to thank you for letting us celebrate Miyu birthday with your family tonight." Nanami bowed down.

Miyu's father cant help but to feel flattered. "My, such a polite child. Well thank you too for coming here. It's so nice to know that Miyu has found such friends."

Miyu just smiled at them both and she tugged both of them. "Shall we go in?"

:::::::::::::::::

"Which seats are ours, papa?" Miyu looked around.

"Your mother and brother are already seated so all you have to do now is to look for them. You young ladies wait here for a bit while I need to talk to the receptionist."

"Okay!" They both chimed.

As they stood there and wait, there were some young lads in there that were checking tem out. All they can do is not be snobbish and just smiled. Then Nanami grabbed her friend head and turned it into the direction of a silhouette, a silhouette of a man reading a book casually. She sharpened the features a bit as Nanami desperately clung to her face. He had that distinct brown hair and very distinct maroon-like eyes. Saionji Kanata, math teacher… Theirs…

"HOLY SON OF A---"

Miyu began, but Nanami clapped her hands over Miyu's mouth and ducked as their teacher looked up.

"SHUSH! You want him to find us?" Nanami chided her friend.

"Sorry," Miyu took in a breath, "I-I just didn't know people like him EAT. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised." Nanami chuckled. "But then again, he was eating a sandwich during your previous encounters."

"Hey where's Wannya? Miyu froze. "He must have jumped out when I screamed! But where would have he gone!?"

"AGHHHHH!!!!" A very familiar voice screeched.

"Uh oh!"

"Nanami, you get him, if you hadn't startled me—"

"NO WAY! This is YOUR mess YOU get to deal with it!" Nanami gave Miyu a hard shove in the direction of the yell.

Unfortunately, we all tend to do very bad things when we see the ones we loathe. And Miyu is no exception to this. So she did what any good young teenager does when they see their most hated teacher being mauled by their cat. She cheered Wannya on.

"Yeah! GO WANNYA! She jumped up and down. "EXTRA FOOD FOR YOU TONIGHT!"

The cat was clinging on the math teacher's head for dear life, yet still trying to claw its way down without getting thrown off. But as the words "food" Came from his master's mouth he immediately jumped off and scampered to her arms.

Kanata gave one glare her way.

"Eheh..."

"Kouzuki...."

"Did I say Yeah? I mean bad cat VERY bad cat."

Man, one thing Miyu knows is getting someone like him mad, even in a public place, is suicide. Period. So something or someone better save her NOW.

"Ah, so you know my daughter? So are you the other friend of hers at school?

Kanata blinked and looked at Yuu. "No, I am not sir. In fact I am her teacher." His words were very stressed.

"Oh which subject do you teach?"

"Math."

"Wow, you must have a hard time then. Miyu abhors math, it took her a long time to actually get it." Yuu laughed a calming laugh and held out his hand, "My names Kouzuki Yuu, Miyu-chan's father. What might yours be?"

"You can just call me Kanata, sir."

"That's your first name I guess. You can call me Yuu then." Miyu's dad smiled at the young man.

"Miyu-chan, take this chance and run." Nanami whispered fervently.

"I would," Miyu put on a smile for her dad, "But I think Saionji-kun knew I was gonna run."

"Why do you think that?" Nanami gave her a skeptical look.

"Cause he's stepping on my foot." Miyu gritted her teeth.

"So you are dining alone, Kanata-kun?"

Kanata raised his eyebrows and looked a sideways glance at Miyu. She would have jumped, except the pressure on her foot was very great. "Oh but I wouldn't want to intrude, Yuu-san."

"No, my pleasure, one of the members of our party is late, plus we have an extra seat."

"Papa!" Miyu was on the verge of screaming, "It will be really strange to have dinner with my teacher and—"

"Nonsense, Wannya seems to like him, see?" Sure enough Wannya was now wrapped around the teacher's leg purring. Miyu stuck her tongue out at him, "Traitor."

"And you told me once..."

"'I like anyone Wannya likes.'" She groaned. "I thought I was being thorough about that."

"Your wife is calling you sir." A waiter glided up to their party.

"Oh can we have an extra chair?"

As her father gabbed a little to the waiter, Kanata grabbed Miyu's hand.

"Daddy's girl, are we?"

Miyu growled, "Shut up."

"Aya! Nanami chimed.

"She's here?" Miyu said exasperated, this was too much for one dinner.

"Nanami!" Aya came prancing up to her friends then eyed Miyu,

"Ah! You are so CUTE!!" Then her eyes spotted their Math teacher and decided to mischief a bit. "Is this your boyfriend Miyu-chan?"

"Aya!" / "Ms. Konish!" both Miyu and Kanata yelled in unison

Nanami and Aya just just laughed and then looked over to Miyu's father.

"That's enough, people. Let's get seated now shall we. Kanata, please I insist you must join us. Afterall, it's your student's birthday celebration.

::::::::::::::::::::::::

"My name is Tenchi Nanami. Thank you for having us."

"Good evening I'm Konishi Aya. I'm pleased to meet your acquaintance."

"I'm there Math teacher. The name is Kanata, ma'am."

"I'm so glad that people from Miyu's school are here to celebrate with us. My name is Kouzuki Miki. Thank you very much for watching over our daughter. I hope she is not causing you guys any inconvenience." Miki spoke in delight.

"Oh no trouble at all" Aya and Nanami said in unison.

Kanata was about to open his mouth but Miyu already sensed what he is going to say so she just throw a glare at him saying `Don't you even think about it!'. With that he just took his glass of water and let it slide for now. He'll probably torture her later after her birthday is over.

He just paid attention on the infant on Mrs. Kouzuki's arms.

:::::::::::::::

Minutes later, a waiter came to their table and apologized because there would be a slight delay on their food. Nanami and Aya were just busy playing with Ruu and adoring his cuteness, Wannya just laid down underneath the table for a nap, Miyu and her parents were talking with their special guest, Saionji-sensei.

"Wow. So you skipped a few grade levels, huh. I'm impressed, Kanata. Not to many people who have their teaching degree on a very young age. You're really smart." Miki cheered on.

"Thank you but really, I just do what I could." Kanata humbly bowed.

"And so modest too. If you weren't Miyu's teacher you two would ha--"

"Excuse me, Madame Kouzuki?" Miki paused from talking when somebody was standing besides them.

"Hmm?" Miki take a glance at the person.

"You are the astronaut, Kouzuki Miki, am I right?" spoke the blonde girl in pink.

"Why, yes I am."

She then hands out a pen and paper at Miyu's mom. "I'm one of your fans. May I please have your autograph?"

"Well, this is my family time actually so…" Miki tried to persuade the girl but Miyu stood up and kindly said, "Why don't you grant her request, mama."

Miki just smiled and looked back at the girl and took her pen and paper. "Alright then."

"Oh thank you so very much."

As she was about to write, about fifteen more people came by to their table with their own pen, paper and camera asking if she could also give them autographs and even take a picture with her.

Yuu couldn't help but to smile weakly while Miyu, Kanata, Nanami and Aya were just surprised by the sudden gush of strangers.

(A/N When the sentence is within the brackets, that means Miki is talking with her fans at the same time that the others are speaking)

"After she was introduced on television,

["I think this is not the place, people" Miki said to her fans]

she became a celebrity overnight!" Yuu explained to the others.

["Then why don't we do it over there, ma'am"]

"Hmm…" They all awed.

Then they saw the crowd along with Miki just went outside to grant each of everyone's requests. She was practically swarmed by more people who were asking the same things. It seems that Miyu's mother is enjoying herself quite very much almost forgetting that she has company on her own.

Miyu just sees this and couldn't help but to feel a bit down. The reason why Miki came back to see them was because to celebrate Miyu's birthday together as a family. "I guess we should have eaten at home."

Nanami and Aya saw their friends' mood sulking down while Kanata just kept on drinking his iced tea looking at Yuu and then gestured at him by sharply shaking his head towards Miyu's direction signaling him that his daughter was feeling uncomfortable.

"Miyu I…" Yuu started to talk then… "Tlllllllllit…. Tllllllllit…", a sound of a cellphone ringing. Yuu recognizes the sound and took it out from his shirt's pocket.

"Oh, pardon me… yes?... What?... The data didn't matched?..." Yuu stood up from his seat. "Try opening File-B!" The place was indeed a little noisy so he too left Miyu's side and finds himself a nice quiet place further away from their table.

Miyu did nothing but to sit and watched her parents went on in their own worlds. Kanata looks at her and she just stared blankly at the window. It's quite obvious this is not exactly the night that she was hoping to be.

"Miyu" Aya and Nanami looked as bummed as her.

"Pappa…. Mamma…" Ruu sadly chirped.

Kanata was beginning to sense a little emotional tension around the atmosphere. Something must be done to change the mood. A birthday celebration should be a joyous occasion. That too, he believes himself, even if the celebrant is someone like Miyu who deserved more than this.

A few minutes later Miki was requested to take the crowd elsewhere while Yuu kept on walking and arguing on his phone, leaving the rest of their party on the table.

"Isn't funny Miyu than your name was derived from both names of your parents?" Aya took initiative action to shift the mood.

"Yeah I guess so." Miyu allowed herself to make a small crook on her lips

"And haven't you noticed that you kinda look like your mom? If for wasn't the blonde hair that you have of course. Ruu has blonde hair too but his eyes are more like your dad's." Nanami stared into Ruu's face.

Kanata just sat there silently looking at his three students, thinking of something to say that is worthwhile. The last thing that Miyu needs right now is his attitude.

"I agree with Ms. Tenchi. You do look like your mom." He snorted, "Besides you have the exact same eyes."

Nanami and Aya heard this and both put on sly smirks. This was Kanata… nice… and it was nice.

"NOT THAT I CARE OR ANYTHING!" Kanata immediately sat up retorting 'whatever' comment Nanami or Aya had come up with in their minds.

"We weren't going to say that," Aya smiled, "We were just going to say-"

"NO! I do NOT stare into her eyes! You WEIRDOS!"

"SO THAT'S WHY I AM WITH YOU GRADING PAPERS!!" Miyu bent over hands gripped on the table, "You just have to stare into my eyes ALLL day long!" At least she was not in a sad mood anymore. Maybe Kanata did thought of something to say that was worthwhile.

"I never--!"

"MAN! I've never seen anyone who is into his students! You SICKO!"

"Okay where does this false fact of yours could actually make me think of you anymore than a student come in?" Kanata looked at them with a hint of contempt.

"The second you jumped me at your—"

Kanata then quickly covered Miyu's mouth.

The other two raised both eye brows, "Ohh please do go on."

"I think its time for Ms. Kouzuki to think out her actions, before she said anything else remotely stupid." Kanata said nervously.

"GRAAFPHHHHhHh" Miyu tore his hand off her mouth, "yuck TEACHER COOTIES!"

Nanami and Aya had themselves a grand time watching these two bicker. They didn't even have to light a fire to get them going. Coming here was the best thing they ever thought of.

Miyu began scrubbing her lips, "Ugh my virgin lips, touched by the hand of the DEVIL."

"Alright that is it. This is enough disrespect for today from you people. Ms. Tenchi, Ms. Konishi I bid you good night and I'll see you on the next school day." Kanata said in a cold tone as he stood up and took the kerchief off. He then darted his gaze on Miyu.

"Saionji-sensei…" Nanami said.

"We're sorry, we didn't mean to…" Aya added.

Miyu just stayed quite all of the sudden.

"Kouzuki, I bid you the same thoughts and do please enjoy the rest of your birthday." Kanata wore his coat and began walking. "Oh and please give my regards to your parents. They are quite the interesting couple."

"Girls, do something. I think he's mad." Nanami said.

"You think? Gee, what ever gave you that idea?" Miyu said sarcastically.

"Nanami is right, Miyu. Let's fix this now before this turn ugly for all of us." Aya said.

"What do you expect me to do?" Miyu shrugged. "Go after him and apologize then drag him back here with us?"

"That would be great, Miyu."

"Besides, you're birthday is turning out to be a bust if people in this table keep on bolting out."

::::::::::::::

Kanata wanted to leave the restaurant already before he was invited into the Kouzuki table. Originally he was there to meet somebody but not only until later that receive a message that that person won't make it. Unfortunately for him, thanks to Kouzuki Miki the exit has a collection of people gathered around her asking for Lord knows whatever…

"This is just great." Kanata sighed to himself. As he turned around to look for another way out, someone grabbed him by the hand and tugged him across the floor to the wash room area.

"What do you think you are doing, Kouzuki." Kanata put some force on his foot to stop them from moving further. Miyu turned around to face him. She looked really stressed out that her hair was not as before. Kanata noticed this but could not careless right now. He wanted to leave the place because he was tired already and the last thing he needed was for his students to make a mockery out of him.

"Look, I'm sorry." Miyu grunted.

"What was that?"

"I said I am sorry. Geez, you deaf?"

"Huh, you gotta do better than that, Kouzuki."

"Look. The girls didn't mean any disrespect. It's just that I got used to us being so rowdy with each other that I forgot that we had company and we're in public. " Miyu took a strand of her hair and tucked it in her ear.

"That is just it. I can try to be nice and act civilized while you still being a pain and acting like a brat."

"Excuse me? You're the one who is always acting like a jerk around me."

"If you just behaved like a good high school girl to begin with like I told you, all of this non-sense would have been avoided. I can't afford to let two more students walk all over me. It's bad enough that I can't handle one like you." His tone had gone up directly at the girl.

"Really? Am I really like that?' Miyu said sadly.

Kanata then soon felt bad all of the sudden. "How do you always turn it around like that." The young man sighed. "There is nothing more that I want from you than you acting like a young lady when I am around. Besides, when we bicker, it should in our 'bickering time' without anyone knowing."

Miyu raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you saying that we keep our special relationship private?"

Kanata blushed and took a step back. "What are you talking about? I didn't say that!"

"No no. That's what exactly you said." Miyu then pinned the nervous guy on the wall.

"No I didn't say that, and get off me will you! What if somebody sees us here?" Kanata said while looking around the hallway for people that might come at their direction.

"Ooh, Saionji-sensei wants it to keep it a hush-hush. You can be so naughty and secretive."

Kanata was feeling a bit uneasy about her pressing against him… yet again. As a rational man he sucked it up and held the blonde by the shoulders and pushed her away then gave her a stern look. "Listen, you. This has got to stop. If you want to apologize for being crazy then don't do it by being crazy." Kanata exhaled looking at the smiling girl. "Apology accepted."

"Does that mean you won't punish Aya and Nanami?"

"Well all I was thinking was to get out of here but now that you mention it, I might have something for them."

"Please don't include them. Let me take the fall for this one. After all it was my fault for being such a spaz." Miyu placed her hands on top of his and took them off from her shoulders. She didn't let go of his hands but she even intertwined her fingers with his. Kanata only stood there and looked at what she's doing to him.

"What is this? An act of selflessness from Kouzuki Miyu, I'm surprised."

"They are the closest friends that I have. I'm new in town. I can't afford to alienate them, too."

"You being this nice all of the sudden kinda creeps me out."

"You wanted nice, right?" Miyu grabbed his arm to take him back to the dining hall. "What are you doing in a place like this?"

"I believe it's none of your business." Kanata retorted.

"I was asking politely, never mind." Miyu diminished the thought.

Kanata felt all guilty again. Seriously, he doesn't know how she always made him look like the bad guy while she was the one doing all sorts of demeanors.

"I was stood up, alright. That's all you have to know right now, all right?" Kanata said

"You mean you had a blind date and it was a no show?" Miyu responded.

"Yeah go ahead and make fun of me."

"Nah, I kinda feel that you are not happy about it." Miyu looked at her teacher. "For not planning on torturing my friends after our stunt earlier I won't make any stupid remarks about your night. It's the least thing I could do."

Kanata looked Miyu at the corner of his eyes and made a small smile. Even though it was surprising for him whenever he sees her with any form of kindness, still he found it so adorable. He didn't know what he was thinking after that because suddenly something took over his mind that he just stopped on his tracks, grabbed his student by the waist and pinned her against the wall. They didn't even get further to the dining hall. Miyu just leaned there with her hands pressing on her teacher's chest.

"I would really like to leave this place and sleep the disappointment off, but since I was already invited to your birthday dinner, I'd stay with you after all of the work you have done." Kanata whispered so only she could hear.

Miyu felt the increasing warmth of his every breath touching her neck. He was so close to her that she could see how handsome and charming he was. "Does this mean that it is even between us? I mean no more grading papers?" Miyu said while clutching on his shirt, feeling Kanata's chest. She then felt that his hands were trailing all over her waist sending shivers all over spine with every touch of his finger tips. Her breathing started to go faster.

Kanata then realized what he was doing and mentally slapped himself super hard for feeling up his student. Kanata then dropped his hands like they were holding a hot potato and began to walk again to escape that space of actual regrettable sin. Miyu also woke up of her trance after she saw him just disregarded his sudden approach towards her. She couldn't understand it but she felt a little a little disappointed. She just thought that they were about to do something stupid again and even though it was close to happening that it was still fortunate that it didn't.

"Your friends are waiting. Get your butt moving, birthday girl!" He hollered at his student.

"Yeah, I'm comin' damn it!" She rushed to her teacher.

She was about to bolt out to him when her phone started to ring. She stopped for a while and took her phone out of her mini purse. She signaled Kanata to come back for her as she read a message from her mother.

"Sorry about this dear, it seems that there is a problem in the astronomical office and we are badly needed there that. We came to look for you but your friends to they said you were with Kanata. I don't know what's going on with you two but no time for that now. Anyway, we took Ruu and Wannya so you can be with just your posey. Happy Birthday, Honey. We'll be back after we deal with some issues. Please send our regards to your friends and teacher."

"Oooohh! That can't be good." Miyu cringed.

:::::::::::::::::::

"I'm sorry but I'm afraid I'm going to ask for your party to move somewhere else." One of the female receptionists said humbly to the group.

"Wait, are they asking for us to leave? What's going on here?" Miyu looked at the two girls.

"Well, he said that the table was reserved for all of us but the restaurant people saw that there was only the two us here for quite some time now." Nanami said.

"Yeah, your mom and dad went MIA, then Saionji-sensei stormed off and then we made you come to take him back, then your entire family rushed out because of some sort of an emergency. What took you two so long, anyway?" Aya asked them.

"I… uh… we…" Miyu blushed trying to figure out what to say when she was interjected.

"Pardon me, miss." Kanata approached the female receptionist. "Is it really necessary for us to leave? This young lady here is celebrating her birthday here at your fine establishment. However, it seems that there is some sort of a family emergency that we were the only ones left in our party. As the only responsible adult in our group, I'm kindly asking you if there is anything that you could do for us so that this night won't be a terrible memory for our celebrant here."

Aya and Nanami were just so amazed on how their teacher carried himself like that. Miyu on the other hand was eyeing the receptionist who was apparently joshing over Kanata. But she heard how he was trying to make things better for her.

"What a gentleman you are, sir." Said the female receptionist as Miyu just rolled her eyes with that blatant flattery. Nanami and Aya saw that and both of them pinched her being rude.

"The reservation was a table for six then we added another seat to accommodate for one more of you. But then the seats started to get unoccupied and some of our waiting customers keep on noticing the said table that needs table big enough for their arrangement." The receptionist explained to the group.

"I understand, however we haven't ordered anything yet and it would be a terrible waste to ruin such an evening. These young ladies with me are already dressed up for this place, as you can see." Kanata pointed at the three girls behind him and they all just nodded politely.

"Well indeed a reservation was made for the Kouzuki function, after giving much thought we don't want to be the establishment that ruined a function of one of the of the country's heroes. I think I can get you a table for four people. I assume that you would take care of these ladies?" the receptionist spoke rationally with Kanata.

Kanata just bowed gently in return. "Gladly and I want to thank you for your help." The receptionist smiled and left them to make the proper arrangements. Kanata then sighed in relief and faced his students again. All he saw was three gleaming teenagers.

"What?" Kanata asked nervously.

"Saionji-sensei you are so cool!!!" Nanami came closer to him.

"If you weren't our teacher we are totally would have torn you apart right now." Aya blinked.

"Now, now girls, there are plenty of him for us to go around. Besides he did it because he has the hots for me, ya sly wolf you?" Miyu held her two friends by their shoulders.

"I didn't tell the receptionist that I was babysitting three freaky high school girls. I told the receptionist that I'm taking care of three fine young ladies. I told her that I'm responsible for three fine young ladies." Kanata said with a vein sticking out of his forehead. "ACT LIKE IT!"

The receptionists signaled them to follow her to their new table. It was a little further at the back but it was already late so Kanata figured it would be best to take it just for Miyu's sake. Aya and Nanami went ahead to the said table. Kanata was about to follow when…

"Hey, really I appreciate what you've done for us. Thank you." Miyu said as he grabbed his arm.

"Don't speak to soon, girly." Kanata smirked at her. "I thought we were even but thanks to this fiasco you will be grading papers for the rest of the school year. I might let you do other things"

"WHAT?" Miyu's eyes shut open. "Girls, wait! IT'S A TRAP! Don't order anything pricy! I'll just make sloppy-joes at home!"

"You're ass is mine, Blondie." Kanata quickly whispered to her before going to the table. Miyu just grabbed her buttocks and pouted at the man who just saved their night. "You pedophile!"

::::::::::::::::::

After the dinner, which naturally Kanata paid for, he decided to take the girls to their individual homes because it was already late and he didn't want his students in their formal get-ups to go home unattended. Fortunately, Kanata has his car with him to which to the girls' surprise that he had one. Miyu was somehow happy that her evening turned out miserably and it all thanks to their Math Teacher. Sure, he figuratively owns her ass for the rest of school year but how bad could be? All she's going to was help him with his teaching work.

First they dropped off Nanami. After a few blocks further, Aya bid her thanks. And now it was only Kanata and Miyu inside the car. The night was a bit darker despite the light-posts that glow the streets. Kanata only sighed in relief that his decision to take the girls home was the responsible thing to do.

He looked at the mirror to see how's his passenger was doing. Miyu was pressing buttons on her phone keeping herself busy. Kanata only smiled to know that the girl beside him was capable of behaving after all.

"Well it seems that it is going to be me in the house tonight. My family probably will arrive tomorrow." Miyu said then stretched her arms above her seat and yawned. "I wish the NASA project ends pretty. I don't want to spend my nights like this alone."

"Where did you say your house was?" Kanata replied.

Miyu placed her face closer on the window to check the scenery. "We're almost there. Just drive a few more blocks straight ahead. If you can see a house with a huge tree on the side, that's it."

"I know this neighborhood." Kanata took a closer look at the road. "This neighborhood is near the school we are in. I'd be surprised if you arrive late for class." He turned his head and saw that Miyu was already sleeping. Kanata stepped on the brakes gently because of a red traffic light. He leaned over to her to fasten the seatbelt on her.

"Dumb girl, can't even do car safety." Kanata murmured.

To his surprise, Miyu's hand caught his right hand when he was about to return to the steering wheel. The blonde was still asleep. Kanata only looked at his situation and decided not to retract her hand from hers. Instead, He drove the car with only his left hand while his other right hand clamored on hers.

Three minutes of slow driving, Kanata couldn't see any house with a big tree on the side. He took a quick glance at Miyu and began thinking until a few meters further that he could see their destination. The vehicle was now 50 yards away from the house… 40 yards… 30 yards… 20 yards… 10 yards… 10 yards… 20 yards… what the?

All of the sudden, Miyu woke from her nap and saw her house grew further by from her window. "Hey we just passed my hou—" Miyu lifted her head to look at her driver.

"We're going to my apartment." Kanata said a bit annoyed, "I mean you are so well acquainted with it anyway."

She looked at him softly and then realized that their hands were together yet again. She didn't think of letting go for some reason, instead she only gave them a gentle grip while he gave a grip of his own.

"Besides, you said you don't want to be there alone."

:::::::::::::::::::::::

--At Kanata's Apartment---

She couldn't help but snort as they walked up the stairs to the apartment. Kanata gave her a look. Poor girl must have lost it due to the crazy evening.

"Sorry, I just have to laugh at this, this situation." She smiled sadly, "I mean I was abandoned by my parents, my best friends almost had me sick on my least favorite teacher, and now it seems like you're being the nicest person in the whole world."

"…"

Miyu began wiping her eyes, "Crap, I don't usually cry. I shouldn't, I am gonna look back at this night and laugh hard, but now it just seems, so sa-"

And at that moment, she felt two warm arms wrap around her tightly, and somehow there was no need for any questions or answers as she wept in her teacher's warm embrace.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Miyu sat on the couch, crying "This ending, is just...soooo...happy! Oi! Hurry up in there." She hollered from the REC room.

"Hey! WHOSE THE TEACHER HERE!?" Kanata hollered back from the other room.

"Yah, I am betting anyone in school would argue against that!" she smirked.

"It's legal to be nice last time I checked!" He dropped some food in front of her, "Eat."

Miyu sent him a glare then grabbed the bowl and chopsticks, "This is poisoned isn't it?"

"I'll take that as a thank you." He rolled his eyes and went back to the kitchen.

"Saionji," Miyu began, not sure how to form this sentence, "Have you… have you ever been with a girl?"

Miyu heard the distinct clattering of things falling to the ground.

"EEHHH?" Kanata came out flustered with two soda cans on both hands, "What kind of question is that!?"

"An honestly innocent one."

While Kanata's eyes were shooting daggers at her, Miyu just smiled.

"No." He said quickly and stomped back into the kitchen.

"Really?" Miyu was now lying down the couch like she's in her own house. "Well I can see why, you are very crabby and chauvinistic… "

"Thanks and you are very obnoxious and annoying yourself."

"But you can be nice," Miyu huffed, "Jeez just let me finish my sentences."

"I have had women THROW themselves at me, for your information." He rolled his eyes, "So sorry if I am a little mean, I just can't accept every girl hitting on me, not to mention them calling me here."

"Don't be self-conceited. So you got this whole fan club going on. Big deal! Besides the phone hasn't rung since we got here."

"I tore it out of the wall at some point." Kanata pointed to a nice phone sized hole in the wall. "I don't even know how they got my number.'

Miyu felt a sweat drop roll down her head.

"Have you at least had sex before?"

"NO!"

"Not even meaningless one night-stands?"

"NO!"

"Make out session?"

"Ugh No!"

"Innocent kiss?"

"No…"

"Kiss on the cheek?"

"No…"

"Hold hands?"

"A few times… some of them were with you."

"Hugs?"

"A few times… one of them was with you."

"Wow. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're a virgin!" Miyu laughed at the teacher who was now embarrassed by her response. "Just don't expect me to be the first one to break you in."

"Oh believe me, missy. I can do a lot better than you." Kanata took a sip his soda. "Even you are my student or not. Besides, I don't think you're the kinky type as much as you try to put up to be. " Kanata said with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh yah you KNOW you want me, Saionji!" She stood up on the couch, her borrowed (from him of course) t-shirt didn't help covering her thighs, seeing as it reveals most of her legs very well.

"I seriously don't know what your problem is Kouzuki, but you need to calm down!" Kanata was really confused, slightly angered, and getting a tad stressed at his rambunctious student.

She stuck out her tongue, "Why do you get so embarrassed when I say stuff like that anyway?" She jumped off the couch and began prancing around the apartment, "Saionji Kanata likes Miyu. Saionji likes Miyu!"

"Hey! Get away from my room!!"

"BOUNCY BOUNCY!"

"AGH! MY BED!!" Kanata stood there, "I suggest getting off your sugar high right this instant!"

"No way!" She stuck her tongue out. One of the pillows then shifted towards her feet because of her jumping that she landed on one which caused her feet to lose their stability. "KYAAA!!" Miyu's foot was totally off the mark and she was in a position to break her neck, save by the innocent teacher who happened to be standing there.

"OHH SHI—"

:BAMMM:

:Chuu:

Miyu was on top this time. She had just fallen right on top of him even though the odds were 1 in a million chances landing on her. Yes, her lips were not virgin anymore, same with his.

"AGHHhHH! GERROFFF!!" Miyu screeched.

"YOU'RE THE ONE ON TOP, BLASTED GIRL! YOU GET THE HELL OFF!!!" Kanata pushed her off and immediately sat up trying to look away from her; he was of course blushing profusely. "Just get out!"

Wow… never heard him exploded like that ever. In fact this is the first time he yelled like that despite of their previous squabbles.

"S-sorry, I certainly didn't mean t—"

"I said OUT!"

"Alright…" Miyu walked out nervously and closed the door.

::::::::::::::::::::

Kanata sat his head leaning on the side of the bed. Crap. It finally happened. He knew playing with fire will eventually be hazardous. He had just kissed his student. How many countries were that legal in? He was betting not that many. God, the more he replayed that scene in his head, the more he regretted it, regretted that he even considered not dropping her off her house earlier. Obviously it was not his popular decision of the night. Not to say it was bad, it was—"ARGH!" He grabbed his head and shook vigorously. Evil thoughts out of mind, man what had he done? "I am so going to Hades… or worse… suspended."

:::::::::::::::::::::::

Miyu just sat there in besides Kanata's apartment door. She was curled up, knees in front of her chest with her arms wrapped around them. She was half naked from the waist down and cold, on account of she didn't had much that clothing with her forgetting her dress inside his place. She can't possibly leave and go home looking like some girl kicked out of her boyfriend's pad after an intense act of intimacy. Not that it didn't look like that exactly; they did kiss… sort of.

Miyu lightly touched her lips. Man, it barely lasted a second. That wasn't near long enough to assess whether that kind of feeling was good...or bad. She frowned, but that really wasn't the way she wanted to have her first kiss. This entire day, she thought she was gonna look back and laugh so hard. But now it just seemed utterly tragic. This night couldn't get any worse.

Miyu sighed and buried her head in her knees. Tragic indeed.

She eyes widened to see two feet; obviously belonging to Kanata.

"Um, I wanted to apologize, for being rude earlier." He boyishly scuffed his feet on the ground.

"No, it was my fault. I mean I shouldn't have acted so childishly."

"I think on your birthday you have a right." Kanata gently place a large towel over her knees to cover her leggy flesh and offered his hand to hoist her up.

"Heh, maybe I should just celebrate my birthday later, this one has seemly sucked that much monkey balls." She took his hand, stood up and brushed herself off, "I better head off to bed. Second door to the left, right?"

"Here cover yourself with this." Kanata brought a large towel with him and wrapped it around her waist to cover her leggy flesh. "Look, I am sorry. I probably made your birthday a hundred times worse than it already was," He started.

Miyu's hand was now on her cheek to swipe some dropping tears from her eyes. With this, he couldn't felt anymore responsible. Now I warn you Kanata is a spontaneous person at heart too.

"Look. You said you could look back at this night and just laugh about it. But after all that has happened, I doubt that you would do that anytime soon."

Miyu just smiled a little, as he's being the gentle person that she rarely sees. What even concerned her more was that he took her hand away from her face and held it tight. Kanata took a few inches closer to her while she began breathing strongly, aware but uncertain about the thing that was about to occur.

Inside his brain, Logic and Instinct were duking it out. Logic had all of the rationality to put Instinct down for the count. But Instinct decided not to let it beat him today and decided to fight dirty and saw the opportunity to swipe it off its feet. And for the first time, Kanata's instinct outweighed his reason entirely.

"But here's something good that you can look back at." Kanata finally grabbed her shoulder and dove into Miyu for a new kiss. No one was around to witness what they were doing so Kanata deepened his kiss as he pinned her to his apartment door.

They broke off from each other's lips, gasping for air, with their tongues slowly separated as a strand of their saliva bridging them together melted in their hot rapid breathing.

Miyu just received the best gift on her birthday. Her teacher, Kanata Saionji's kiss…

"A better kiss…" Miyu said softly as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Kanata in response grabbed her by the waist, causing the towel to drop on the floor and hoisted her up on his body. She then enlaced her legs to his torso as he shifted his hands on her buttocks. She planted her lips on his for another lip lock and both tasted the bliss even more. Feeling the smoothness of her gluteal skin and the silkiness of her undergarment on each of his fingertips caused a huge frenzy in his brain. He kicked the towel inside the apartment, walked slowly inside while his student kept on straddling him then he kicked the door behind him shut.
