Normal POV

"Hey Miyu, the bath's free." Kanata said.

"Sure." Miyu said walking swiftly past him.

"Miyu? Did you do your homework yet?" Kanata asked.

But the blonde just kept walking without answering.

'Is she still mad at me?' Kanata wondered.

~~~o-o-o~~~

"-chan. Nee-chan. Nee-chan! NEE-CHAN!"

"WHAT?!" Miyu shouted shocked.

"Geez, I called you a million times already." Ruu said.

"Sorry. What do you need?" Miyu asked.

"I'm going to bed now. So I'm going to turn off the lights, unless you still need to do homework." Ruu said.

"No, it's fine. I'll go to bed too." Miyu said.

"Hey Ruu, can I ask you something?" Miyu asked after some minutes of blankly staring at the dark ceiling.

"Hm?"

"...What would you do...if I weren't around you anymore?" Miyu asked.

"What are you talking about nee-chan?" Ruu asked turning around in the dark to face the girl.

"Just hypothetically. If I weren't here anymore, what would you do to live?"

"Well...I would probably have to move to America and live with mom and dad." Ruu said.

"Yeah...so you'll be fine right."

"Of course. But what on earth are you talking about nee-chan? You're not going anywhere....are you?"

"No...of course not."

"Nee-chan, I know that you're stressed lately, but don't do anything stupid. You're the only sister I have."

"Thanks Ruu." Miyu said smiling.

"..I...love you." Ruu said before drifting off to sleep. (A/N: Totally shocking right, because of the preview. Teehee. Told you not to assume anything. Well not told but yea)

"I love you too." Miyu whispered into the dark.

~~~o-o-o~~~

"RUU!" I screamed.

"Nee-chan!"

"Let him go!" I yelled trying to run to my brother.

"Never. This is your punishment for not doing what you were told." she said.

I watched as the silver blade drew blood from the face of the one I loved.

"No! Ruu..."

I fell to the ground and sobbed violently. The world turned pitch dark and everything was gone, leaving only me behind.

I woke with a start, perspiration running down my back. I quickly got up and walked to the bed next to mine. In it, lay my brother, fast asleep. Thank god, I told myself, it was just a dream.

"Nee-chan, I know that you're stressed lately, but don't do anything stupid. You're the only sister I have."

'But you're the one I'm worried about, Ruu.' I thought as I looked down at the peaceful face.

flashback

"Whatever. It doesn't matter whether you like him or not, because I'm taking him back." Akira stated.

"W-what? What are you talking about? I do not, have not and will never like Kanata, so you can j-" I said flusteridly.

"I heard you the first time. It's just I don't believe you." she said, staring at me coldly.

"Well, that's not my problem." I replied, with more confidence.

Seriously, what is this girl's problem?

"If you don't give him up peacefully, I'll make it your problem." she said, sending shivers down my spine.

"And how exactly would you do that?" I said, trying to hide the fear in my voice.

"Let's just say, your precious little brother will not be by your side any longer."

'Ruu!' I screamed in my head as my body stopped working for a second.

"I'm back." Kanata said as he slid the door open.

"Hey." she greeted sweetly.

"What are you two talking about? It seems intense." Kanata half-joked.

"Just girl-talk." she said smiling.

Girl talk my ass, that coniving little-

"Are you okay Miyu? You look pale." Kanata asked, looking concerned.

"I-"

Before I could get another word out, Akira sent a death glare in my direction.

"I'm fine, I'll get out of the way so you two can talk." I said as I stalked out of MY room with my stuff.

"What's her problem." I heard Akira try to "whisper" as I closed the door.

What. The. Hell.

end of flashback

Ruu...I swear, if she lays a single hand on you, I will have to flip the girl inside out, and kill her slowly and painfully.

I heard Ruu stir a little in his sleep, so I got up and left before I could wake him up. It's not like I could get any sleep anyways. I went to the kitchen, planning to heat up some milk and hopefully calm down and go back to bed.

As I was heading towards the kitchen, I saw the lights were on and there was chatter coming from within.

"How are you feeling?" a voice asked.

"Fine, it's really more comfortable sleeping here than at a hotel." another replied.

"I'd rather you be here than in a hotel too Akira." Kanata said.

"And I'm glad I'm here." Akira said.

Okay, so I was peeking through the small crack in the door, so what. It's not my fault. Beside, I'm just here to keep an eye on that girl, she might kill Kanata and then who would make decent meals for Ruu and me.

The two were gabbing on about the past and whatnot as I just about gave up on my dreams of having milk and thought about heading back to bed and trying to sleep. That is until I thought they were going to leave.

"You should go to bed now Akira. It's late and you need your rest, you've had a long day." Kanata said.

'So have I, but where am I? Blocked out of my own kitchen in hopes of being able to sleep.' I thought.

"Alright, you too Kanata. You look tired." Akira said.

"Yeah, goodnight then." Kanata said.

"Night." Akira replied sweetly.

Kanata started to head towards the exit before he was stopped by her again, "Wait, aren't you forgetting something?"

"What?" he asked as he turned around.

"This." she said before kissing him on the cheek.

Kanata's reaction? Who knows, who cares. I couldn't get myself out of there fast enough. Who was that girl, and what exactly was she to Kanata?

~~~o-o-o~~~

Ruu's POV

I woke up and yawned, I slept pretty well last night. Usually it's hard sleeping with Miyu-nee, with all her snoring and such, but tonight was calm. (A/N: Yes, he was serious. Only about most of it though.)

"Morning." a groogy, semi-dark voice said.

"Wah!" I yelled in surprise.

"What?"

"Uhh...Miyu-nee...you sort of...look like......crap." I stated staring at the dark blob called my sister.

I heard her sigh, "I didn't get any sleep last night."

"Are you okay?" I questioned, concerned.

She had dark, I mean really dark, circles under her eyes, her hair was a mess, she looked like crap, seriously.

What on earth caused her to look like this? Or...who?

"I'm fine." she replied.

"No, you're not." I said with a stern voice.

"I told you I'm fine." she snapped back.

"No, you are definitely not fine. You look like a piece of crap. I haven't seen you look half this bad since him." I lectured.

"Whatever." she muttered.

I sighed and bent down next to her.

"Hey, what's wrong, seriously?" I asked, more calmly.

I saw her close her eyes, bite her lower lip as she sighed. Then she looked up at me and gulped as her eyes filled with tears.

"Hey, w-what?" I said surprised as she threw her arms around me sobbing.

"L-last n-night..." she sobbed out.

~~~o-o-o~~~

....What. an.....IDIOT!

I thought in disbelief as I soothed the sobbing girl before me. Miyu-nee had just told me of the event last night. With that Akira kissing Kanata. Tch. I knew she was going to be a problem. But seriously, how can Miyu-nee be so stupid as to not realize her feelings NOW?! Geez, I swear, I don't know how me and this idiot are related.

"Have you thought about the reason why you would react like this?" I asked, trying to hide my annoyance.

She stopped sobbing for a minute, looked thoughtful and responded, "M-maybe, I t-think I c-caught Seiya's w-weirdness."

Is she serious?!

"Miyu...have you ever thought about it being the fact that you love Kanata?" I asked, more like stated.

"..............WHAT?!" she exploded.

"Are you serious??! Me like Kanata?! No way, not in a million years!!! How could you even THINK of something like that? I mean, he's so arrogant and thinks he's all that. But he's not! I mean, sure he's sweet and nice sometimes. And he's cute too, sometimes. But, c'mon seriously?!!!" she blabbed.

.........................I. GIVE. UP! There is not getting through this thick girl's head!!! Sorry, Kanata.

"Okay, Miyu-nee, I get it." I said.

"Good." she said slightly pouting.

"I know you're really stressed right now, so I don't want to pressure you. But for once, can you actually listen to what people tell you with your heart, instead of your head." I stated.

"......."

"Forget it. Just, I hope you don't make any decision that you're going to regret. And really, you've got to stop listening to that brain of yours sometimes, it's not always correct." I continued.

"Hey Ruu, are you guys up?" Kanata called from behind the door.

"Yeah, we're coming." I said as I got up.

Miyu-nee remained sitting, with a distant look on her face, as if she were actually thinking about what I just said.

"You coming?" I questioned.

"...yeah." she said softly.

I sighed as I closed the door quietly behind me.

I think I should leave her alone for a while. She looks like she's about ready to break if you even touch her gently. But, really, how am I related to that girl?

Miyu's POV

I tossed and turned, crying and sobbing, but trying hard not to wake Ruu. I don't even know why I cried. Why would I waste my tears like that? Whatever the reason, it wore me out. Here I lay at the crack of dawn, not a wink of sleep last night.

I put on my jacket and went outside for a bit. Today, without thinking, I let my feet take me up to the roof of the temple. I stared out at the city before me. It was bleak and grey. but cool. The cold air awakened my senses, making me less drowsy. But the bleak, grey clouds did nothing for my mood. I sat with a clear mind, nothing was working up in my brain, as the wind whistled through one ear and out the other.

It got cold, so I went back down. It was still too early, but I didn't feel like going back to bed, not that I could sleep anyhow. So I sat at Ruu's desk and unconsciously leafed through his papers.

After some time, I heard Ruu yawn as he stretched.

"Morning." I said softly.

~~~o-o-o~~~

It's not like I didn't understand what Ruu was saying to me. I understood perfectly well. I'm not a total idiot, I know myself better than anyone else because I am myself. And of course my brother would know me second best.

You don't think I haven't ever wondered about the fact that I might like Kanata. Of course I think about it. I just don't want to that much. Especially after what happened with him.

flashback-half a year ago

"I like you too." he said.

"Eh? T-then, d-does that mean y-you want to go o-out with m-me?" I asked nervously.

"Yeah." he said calmly, flashing me his brightest smile.

~~~o-o-o~~~

"Haha. Not yet." I said laughing.

"Really? But you want to don't you?" she teased.

"Maybe." I blushed.

"Uh-oh." the other said.

"Hmmm? What's wrong Nanami?" I asked as the girl suddenly stopped.

"I forgot to get something, let's go back." she blurted out quickly.

"What did you forget?" I questioned.

"Err......my.....special snack..." Nanami said.

I raised my eyebrow in question, as I pushed past the girl, "C'mon Nanami, what is it that you don't want me to see?"

As soon as the words escaped my lips, I regretted not going back like Nanami wanted me to.

There he was laughing, and kissing a girl passionately out in public. They broke free, she still in his hold, as he looked at her lovingly. She whispered something in his ears, he laughed, showing his million-watt smile. She spoke again, and he turned around.

His gaze met mine as he immediately let go, dropping the girl to the floor.

"Miyu." I heard him mouth.

My feet, which had been at a standstill, suddenly acted on their own as I dashed home. Not waiting for anybody, leaving my broken heart back there.

end of flashback

"-iyuuuuu." the voice said as I snapped back to reality.

I blinked, and when my eyes opened, I found Kanata's face a mere inch away from mine. Out of reflex, I slapped him across his face.

"What the hell?!" he yelled.

"What the hell are you doing?!" I yelled back.

"I was just telling you to wake the hell up! And then you slap me! What?! Did you seriously think I was going to kiss you or something?!" he screamed.

"Don't ever do that again." I said before I stormed out of the room, blushing.

Oh no! Oh no! This is exactly why.......

Kanata's POV

I placed my hand where Miyu had slapped me. Damn it! What did she have to slap me for?! Geez, don't tell me she's still mad at me, I thought we were okay now. But seriously, I wasn't going to kiss her. I mean, sure I want to...but..............ARGH! Whatever, I've got to get ready for school.

"Hey Kanata, what happened to your cheek?" Akira asked.

I could hear Ruu stifle a half-laugh, half-sigh, and Miyu get even angrier. Meaning, my answer could either ignite her bomb or let her sit back for a while and perhaps cool down.

"Nothing." I replied.

"It sure doesn't look like nothing. I'll put some ice on it after you finish breakfast, so hurry up." Akira said.

"Uhm...sure." I said.

"Gouchisousama." Miyu quietly said as she suddenly pushed back her chair, creating an irritating squeak, and getting up.

Sigh. This girl is like a time bomb waiting to explode. I don't ever know what to do with her. But I still...

~~~o-o-o~~~

"Come home soon today, alright." Akira said as I was putting on my shoes.

"Yeah, I'll try." I said.

"I'll take care of the house while you're gone." she waved.

"She sure sounds more like a house wife than a......." Ruu muttered.

"What?" I questioned.

"Nothing, nothing at all." Ruu replied.

I saw Ruu whisper something to Miyu before we separated directions. And as soon as Ruu left, Miyu seemed to have quickened her pace.

"Hey, Miyu wait up." I shouted.

The girl stopped for a second, turned around and glared at me before continuing speed walking.

Damn.

Miyu's POV

Whatever. Forget stupid Kanata today.

"Hey Miyu." my friends greeted as I walked through the door of the classroom.

"Hey Nanami. Aya." I greeted.

"You don't look well Miyu, are you okay?" Aya questioned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just didn't get enough sleep last night, that's all." I said.

Plus the fact that Kanata is so irritating, and this is ALL his fault in the first place.

My two friends chattered away as I sat there silently wishing I could just go home and sleep, if only a certain someone weren't home.

"Alright class, settle down." Mizuno-sensei said.

Finally, a little bit of peace and quiet.

"Konishi-san." Mizuno-sensei called as she started taking attendance.

"Here." Aya called in her usual chirpy voice.

"Tenchi-san."

"Here."

"Saionji-san."

"Here."

...Damn him.

"Ahh, what happened to your cheek Saionji-kun?" one of the girls shrieked.

Thus beginning a chain reaction of squeals and questions of concern.

DAMN. HIM.

"QUIET DOWN CLASS!" Mizuno-sensei yelled, as everyone stopped talking and scattered back to their desk.

"Now, where was I......Kouzuki-san."

"Here." I replied, hiding my slight irritation. Okay, completely irritated.

"Yaboshi-san."

"...."

"Yaboshi-san?"

"...."

"I guess Yaboshi-san is absent then." Mizuno-sensei said marking her roll book.

Eh? Seiya's absent?

"I think...it'd be best for the both of us if I disappeared for a little bit."

"Don't worry, I won't skip school. I'll just stay out of your sight for a while."

What a liar. Where are you Seiya?

~~~o-o-o~~~

Finally school was over. I somehow made it through the day without collapsing.

"Miyu, you want to go shopping today?" Nanami asked.

"Sorry. I want to go home and sleep." I replied.

"Aww, it's okay. You should get some rest, you look exhausted." Aya pointed out.

"Yeah, sorry again." I said as I waved goodbye.

I walked home, hoping that Akira wasn't there so I could sleep in peace. I arrived at the house and instantly heard a giggle. Great...she's home. What surprised me was the voice of a male, a familiar one.

"Akira, don't that hurts." Kanata said.

"Oh come on, stop being such a baby." Akira teased.

Puke. I feel like just slamming the door open and walking past them. And so, that's what I did.

"Tadaima." I said rudely as I slammed the door open.

As I opened my eyes, I saw Akira had pinned Kanata down and they were kissing.

"M-miyu!" Kanata gasped as he slightly pushed Akira away.

"Sorry for bothering you." I said as I ran out of the house.

Not again...

~~~o-o-o~~~

I ran with tears in my eyes, I didn't know where I was going, but I wanted to be anywhere but there.

After a good distance, I stopped running to catch my breath. My face was streaked with tears as I breathed deeply. I took a deep breath and began to walk.

Why do these things always happen to me?

I rummaged through my pockets to find a tissue, only to find the piece of paper Seiya had slipped me just yesterday. I let out a small laugh, even though it was just yesterday, it felt like months ago.

I began to think about all of our time together. Even though it hasn't been more than a month since we've met, it feels like I've known him for years. That carefree idiot. Always smiling, and saying the most stupid of things. And he totally lied about not coming to school. I wonder where my idiot is.

I suddenly found myself missing him as a thought struck me, something I've known but haven't been able to admit. I quickly opened up the scrap of paper that would reveal my destiny. What he had scrawled stumped me for a second, until I realized the only place he could be and ran.

I arrived at the beach in a matter of minutes. But not what you think. It was the secret spot, through a mildly thick forest, but the sight totally worth it. A place hidden from the world, hiding its beauty, only revealing itself to a few. The special place Seiya showed me.

I looked around, trying to spot the him. I saw a glimmer of blonde hair a bit further down. I half-ran towards the figure, who was skipping rocks. His pants legs rolled up as he reached down for another stone. Feeling the prescence of another, he looked up. Surprised for a bit, but immediately smiled.

"Hey." he smiled, not moving.

"Y-you..." I spoke through ragged breaths.

"Hmm?" he questioned innocently.

"How the heck did you expect me to find 'that place'?" I half-yelled, my breath becoming normal.

He smiled to himself, looked down at his hand and replied, "But you found me anyways."

"...W-well of course." I said, looking away slightly blushing.

"Do you need something?" he asked again, "innocently".

"Really now? Don't be an idiot. What other reason do I have for being here?" I said, pouting slightly.

"I know. I just want to hear you say it." he said softly.

"........."

He walked closer to me, still smiling. The golden sun reflecting his beautiful blonde hair.

The wind breezed by, the only sound heard, a small clink, as he dropped the stone, along with my soft 'yes'.

Preview:

We've Come To This Decision

'I don't know what you did this time, but I warned you."

"If you don't have anything to say. I have things to do, so could you please move out of the way." she stated coldly.

I swear the world had stopped. Nothing made sense.

"Will you marry me Miyu?"

"It so did not happen like that!"

"You're just too cute Miyu."

"Don't be mad. Someday, maybe, I'll let you guys meet."

"Well, I might be being nosy....."

"Don't you love someone else?"
