I don't own Daa!Daa!Daa!
A/N: Hey guys! It's me again! (^_^) No hits from inspiration today… this is purely cranial… which is not as good as inspirational (am I making any sense?! (T_T)). Just tell me what you think of this chapter…
Anyway, I hope you don't mind but I'm too lazy to type all my reviewer's names here. View here, copy, paste… too lazy… so I decided to just send you guys PM's when I have time. Hope you don't mind!
Oh well, on with the story…
Chapter 8: Me and the Culprits
Miyu gave out a huge sigh. It's been five minutes since either of them spoke. She had expected that the brunet wouldn't answer her question. The blonde gave out a sigh again.
"Really… I don't understand this person," she thought as she stole a glance at the brunet beside her. She then noticed that something had caught the attention of her young master and quickly followed his line of vision.
"A window?" she asked. The blonde then quickly stood up excitedly, "A window!!" she exclaimed. She looked back at the sitting brunet, "We can get out of here!" she said, as she flashed him a hopeful smile. Kanata nodded.
"But it's," she started, her smile falling as she looked up the window again. "So high up!"

"D-Don't you dare look up, Master Kanata," the blonde warned the young man below her.
"Yeah, yeah. Just hurry up, would you," Kanata replied, obviously uncomfortable with having his blonde maid stand on top of his shoulders.
After looking around the storage room, the two remembered that they used all the step ladders for decorating the backdrops in the auditorium. And after a few minutes of strategizing, the only plan they could think off is for Miyu to stand on top of Kanata's shoulders to reach for the window.
"Okay," the blonde said as she successfully pushed the window open.
"Good. Now climb up and see if we can get out," Kanata instructed.
Slowly, Miyu was pulling herself up towards the window. She was just about to take a peek when her grip on the ledge suddenly slipped off.
"Not good," they both thought. The blonde was losing her balance.
"Watch out!" Kanata yelled as he tried to catch the blonde.
-bam-
Dust quickly emerged from the ground.
"Ow, ow, ow…" Miyu said. As she tried to regain her balance, she only ended up falling sideways. She proceeded to push herself up. As she opened her eyes, she saw two surprised brown eyes staring at her. Before she could get herself completely off of her master, the door suddenly opened.
"Miyu! Are you in here?"
The blonde and brunet quickly turned to look at two newcomers. It was Seiya and Nanami both with their mouths and eyes wide open.
.
..
…
Seiya was the first one to recover as he quickly managed to replace his look from total shock to absolute fascination. "Sorry. We didn't mean to interrupt you two," he said as he wiggled his eyebrows and gave them a naughty smirk. "We'll be leaving now," the blonde boy then grabbed hold of the still shocked Nanami to drag her outside the room with him.
"W-wait! This isn't what it looks like!" Miyu said as she pushed herself off of her young master. "SEIYA!! NANAMI-CHAN!!!" she yelled as she dashed after the two.

Back in the auditorium…
"So… what took you so long to find us huh?" Kanata asked; his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Well," Seiya started, "one, the main power's out so we had to walk around in the dark."
"And two, there were a lot of rooms to check," Nanami added as she jiggled the keys she had with her.
"And three," the two of them said at the same time as they pointed an accusing finger at Miyu, "she left without even telling us where she was going!!"
Miyu lowered her head in guilt, "I'm sorry."
"You really had us worried, Miyu-chan," Nanami said as she placed her hand on one of the girl's shoulders.
"That's right!" Seiya added. "A clumsy girl like you shouldn't go wandering around alone. Who knows what else could've happened to you."
Miyu lowered her head even lower. "I'm really sorry," she repeated.
"Well, the important thing is that you are safe and sound," the short-haired girl said as she flashed the guilty blonde a wide grin.
The brunet at the side suddenly grunted. "Yeah, right. Someone attacked her and locked us in the storage room."
"What?!" the two immediately yelled. Kanata nodded. He then turned his gaze towards the blonde girl. "Show them the back of your neck," he commanded.
Miyu reluctantly brushed all of her hair to the side and turned around to give them a full view of that thing. Nanami and Seiya instantly gasped.
"It's bruising really badly," the short-haired girl said worriedly.
Seiya turned to look at the brunet. "Did you see who did this to her?" he asked, his tone completely serious.
"No. I was hoping that you guys saw something weird," the brunet answered.
Silence engulfed them as everyone tried to figure out what was going on.
Nanami suddenly cleared her throat. "It's getting late," she said as she broke everyone from their own thoughts. "Miyu-chan, you should probably have that thing checked. Let's get you to the hospital," she said as she led the blonde girl out of the auditorium. The two boys followed shortly.
"I'm pretty sure that whoever did this to Miyu must have a strong grudge towards her," Seiya whispered next to the brunet. Kanata just stayed silent – signaling the blonde to continue. The latter suddenly stopped walking, making the brunet stop as well.
"Wait…" the blonde started. "I did notice something weird a while ago."

A few minutes ago…
In the hallway…
*step*
*step*
*step*
"We've been searching for quite a while and we still haven't seen Miyu-chan," Nanami said worriedly as she counted the keys of the rooms they already inspected. It was a good thing she volunteered to lock up instead of letting the janitor wait for them to finish. She looked over to her companion only to see him stop a few steps away from her. "Seiya-kun?"
She saw him ruffle his hand through his hair frustratingly, "Where could that stupid girl be?"
"AAAAAHH!!" the blonde boy suddenly screamed, startling the short-haired girl along the process. "That stupid girl!" he yelled. "She was told NOT to go out on her own and yet she still did so!" he said as he ruffled his hands through his hair.
Suddenly, Seiya noticed four girls crowding around in a corner. "Na!" the boy called to get their attention. The silhouettes turned to look at them only to run away hastily. "Hey!" Seiya called, Nanami following suitly.
"Yaboshi-kun! Who are you talking to?" the short-haired girl asked unsurely.
Just as Seiya was about to answer her, they heard the crash in the storage room beside them.

"I didn't want to upset Miyu that's why I kept this from her. So, young master, do you think those four have anything to do with what just happened?" Seiya asked the brunet. Kanata just remained thoughtful.
Just as the blonde was about take a step forward, the brunet spoke up. "Whatever it is…" he said, "we need to find the ones who did this." Kanata then proceeded to walk towards the exit.
Seiya smirked at the retreating figure of the boy in front of him, "So cool as always," he thought.

The next day…
"All right, everyone, listen up!" Aya said as she called out the attention of the whole class 2-1. "We have encountered a major problem here," she started. She then took a quick glance to her co-director who was standing behind the whole class to observe them clearly.
"Because of an incident last night, we have probably lost our leading lady." Her announcement earned a couple of gasps. The braided-girl continued. "She was hit on the back of her head and was unconscious for a while. Luckily someone was there to help her." The class remained silent.
"However, she might have gotten a slight concussion because of this and it may even turn out to be very serious." Here, the class had mixed reactions. Some were panicky and worried, while others remained silent; there were a few that started to talk among themselves – all of which Seiya took note of.
"So, Aya-chan," Nozomu suddenly said, making everyone look at him. "Where can I find sweet, little Miyu-cchi? I want to check up on her and to see if her pretty little head is doing alright." The blonde said as a rose popped from his hand.
"She's at my family's hospital three blocks from here," Nanami answered. "She's staying at room 415."
"Room 415! Got it! Then I shall proceed there tonight to go check up on the lovely Miyu-cchi!" Nozomu said as he dramatically posed at the other side of the auditorium. Everyone decided to just ignore the blonde.
"So, what are gonna do about the play, Konishi-chan?" Santa asked. The whole class looked on worriedly.
"I… Seriously don't know," The braided-girl answered honestly. She was really at a loss. "It would be too late to get a replacement now since everything's been prepared for Miyu-chan; clothes, shoes, etc. Worst case is we'll have to cancel the play," the whole class grumbled.
"What? But we've worked so hard!"
"I sacrificed a lot of time on this."
"I really wanted to see Saionji-kun in a butler uniform!!"
"Well it can't be helped!" Aya said as she tried to calm the students down. "Let's just hope and pray for Miyu-chan's quick recovery," and with that, she dismissed the meeting.

Inside room 415…
"And that's what happened," Seiya said as he updated Miyu regarding what happened during the day. The blonde girl bowed her head and sighed. "I'm really causing everyone trouble, aren't I?"
"You sure are," the boy answered while peeling the skin off an apple. Miyu lifted her head up immediately, "Hey!"
"Really, do you know how worried I was back then?" Seiya replied.
Miyu pouted her lips and looked at the side, "I said I was sorry," she said childishly.
"Miyu," the boy said warningly. He wasn't sure the girl understood how serious the situation was.
The other blonde turned to look at the boy and sighed. She then bowed her head again, "I really am sorry."
Seiya sighed and unconsciously stopped peeling the apple. He then brought a hand up to the girl's head, "I'll forgive you only in one condition," he said cheekily.
"And what's that?" the other blonde asked.
Seiya smirked evilly, "You tell me what really happened inside the storage room. And don't leave out any details, Miyu," he said while wiggling his eyebrows naughtily.
All the blood from Miyu's body immediately rushed to her face.
.
..
…
"Nothing happened!!" the girl yelled.
"Come on, Miyu. You can tell me!" Seiya assured the other blonde.
"I said nothing happened, twerp!" Miyu screamed again.
"Then why were you in such a *ehem* compromising position when we found you?"
"I FELL. HE CAUGHT ME. BIG DEAL!!"
"Ano…"
The two blondes suddenly stopped bickering. They both turned their heads towards the door where four girls stood. Seiya's smirk immediately fell and was replaced by a serious look. "Can I help you?" he asked as he stood up straight, his tone immediately intimidating the four.
"A-ano, we need to talk to Kouzuki-san," one of the girls started, looking as if she is on the verge of crying.
"What for?" Seiya asked, still in the same intimidating voice.
"I-it's about what happened to her," another one continued.
The blonde boy was about to interrogate the four further when he felt a tug on his uniform. "Seiya," Miyu said in a soft voice. The boy turned to look at his friend. "It's alright. Could you step outside for a while?" she said calmly.
"But-!" the boy protested
"It's alright. Really," the girl assured her friend.
The blonde boy couldn't resist his friend's pleading face and sighed dejectedly. "Five minutes, and I'm coming back in." Miyu gave him a small smile as she nodded in agreement.
The door shut leaving the five girls alone in room 415.

Outside the room…
The blonde rested his back on the wall as he crossed his arms annoyingly. "That girl, how can she even allow those girls to get five feet close to her?" Seiya mumbled to himself.
"What?" The blonde heard and turned to look at the newcomer. "Ah, Master Kanata," he greeted.
-0-0-0-0-0-0-
"So, can I help you in anything?" Miyu asked the four as she gave them a small smile. Suddenly, the four started to tear up.
"Please forgive us, Kouzuki-san!!" they all yelled as they bowed to the girl on the bed. Miyu looked at them questioningly. "Why-"
"We are the ones responsible for the incident yesterday," one said. Miyu immediately felt her body freeze.
"We let our jealousy get the better of us," another one added. "B-but we didn't mean for it to turn out this way!"
"That's right. We only planned on making it seem like we pushed you with the stick and accidentally locked you inside the room, but when we were about to do it we couldn't decide on who was suppose to p-push you," the third girl added.
"We ended up having an argument. A-a lot of pushing and shoving occurred and one thing led to another and we accidentally hit you at the back of your neck." Here, Miyu unconsciously reached for the spot they referred to.
The first girl continued, "W-we were so scared that if you saw our faces, you would squeal on us and get us expelled, so we decided to just c-continue with the plan and locked you up hoping that the janitor would find you soon enough."
"We're the worst!!" the fourth girl said as she collapsed down to her knees as she cried heavily.
"I know we don't deserve to be forgiven," the second girl started, "still, we wanted to apologize for what we've done."
All four of them then kneeled down and bowed their heads towards the blonde, "We're really sorry, Kouzuki-san," they said all at the same time.
The four suddenly heard the blonde moving out of her bed. The girls immediately closed their eyes in preparation for the slap, punch, or what ever it was the blonde was about to do.
"I forgive you," they suddenly heard. The four couldn't control themselves and looked up towards the kneeling blonde in front of them – looking serious yet with an aura of warmth and sincerity.
The girls immediately blinked at her statement. "H-how can you forgive us so easily?" one of the girls asked.
Miyu tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "You said that you didn't mean for it to happen and since my injury is not that serious, I don't see why I have to hold a grudge against you," the blonde said. "It was an accident."
The four girls bowed even lower and started tearing up again.
"Plus," the four turned to look at her again. "You even went through the trouble of checking up on me," she said as she gave them a small smile. "That shows that you are not really bad people."
The four couldn't control it any longer and they let their tears flow freely. "Kouzuki-san…" they all whimpered.

After a few more minutes, the four girls decided that it was about time for the patient to rest and took their leave. The blonde sighed. "Yukari, Sayumi, Kaori, and Shiori," the blonde thought as she recalled the names of the four girls. Just as Miyu had just sat herself on the bed, her door suddenly opened.
"Miyu! How can you forgive them so easily?"
"Wa… Seiya! You scared me," the girl said as she recognized the boy. She proceeded in making herself comfortable and covered herself with the blanket. "What's wrong?" she asked innocently.
"Those are the girls who did this to you!" the blonde boy started as he marched towards the patient. "How can you be stupid as to allow them to go off so freely?" the blonde boy asked furiously.
"It was an accident, Seiya. They said they didn't mean it-" she started.
"STUPID!" the blonde boy yelled, his fists shaking in frustration.
"Hey! Stop calling me stupid!" Miyu answered with the same intensity as her friend. "I'm the victim here and I can decided whether to forgive them or not," she answered a little more calmly. "And besides," she continued. "It will just make everyone feel worse if I hold a grudge against them."
The two then glared at each other. After a while, Seiya sighed dejectedly. "Do what you want," he said to the girl as he turned his head to the side. "But the next time they do something like this again, I'll decided on how to deal with them," the boy said as he rolled his eyes over to the other blonde. Miyu nodded. "Fine," she said, as she gave him a small smile.
Seiya sighed again. "You really are stupid, Miyu," he said as he ran a hand through his hair.
Miyu couldn't help but laugh at her friend's antics. "Takes one to know one," she rebutted. And the room was suddenly filled with laughter.

Outside the room…
The brunet heard everything. He gritted his teeth in annoyance. "That stupid girl, she's too soft," Kanata thought as he pushed himself off of the wall he was resting on. As he proceeded in making his way towards the elevator, the brunet couldn't help but feel partially responsible for what happened. After all, he was the one they were being jealous about. He sighed as he pushed on the down button.
"I guess I should apologize to her too," the brunet thought. He was about to turn around when the elevator doors opened.
"Ara, Saionji-kun," the newcomer greeted.
"Hikarigaoka," Kanata acknowledged – slightly surprised at the blonde's appearance.
A rose popped out of the latter's hand. "I hope you don't mind, but I've come to visit that lovely maid of yours," he said as he started spinning. "I figured, it's not good to let such a beauty be tainted by sadness and despair," he added as he spun out of the elevator. "Well, I should get going now. Adieu!" he said as he skipped towards the other blonde's room.
The brunet just stood there – quite confused about what just happened.
"Are you leaving?" the liftman asked him as he held the door open for the young man.
Kanata turned to look at him then back to Miyu's room. "Sir?" the liftman asked again.
"Leaving," the brunet said as he stepped into the elevator.
-Chapter 8 End-
A/N: Aww… poor Kanata felt unneeded since Miyu already has the two blondes to cheer her up. :((
I had a hard time writing this chapter. In fact, I really regret putting the whole Miyu-got-hit part in the last chapter. (-_-) Not only did I have to think about the suspects but I also had to omit the humor for this chapter. It became quite serious.
My opinions on my own chapter... Miyu's too kind. Enough said.
Oh yeah, the way Seiya's worrying about Miyu, it's not like he's in love with her okay? There's nothing going on between the two in my story. They're just really good friends. Just like Miyu said in the previous chapter, like a younger brother. I find them cute that way. (Of course, Kanata doesn't believe that Xp)
Anyway, I couldn't think of anyone else to put the blame on so I decided to use the four girls who were always worshipping Kanata in the anime. Oh yeah, those are their real names. And if you want to see how they look like, you can check out episode 25.
You know the drill guys. Love it? Hate it? Be honest (^_^)
