Chapter 21 Aya

"So on whole week off but plenty to do"

"Yeah I can't believe it is actually happening" Aya chirped. She was practically glowing with happiness. And Taylor swift's This is really happening was the right song for the moment at least that's what Aya thought as she began to hum along the song.

"And we're gonna make it the most memorable day of your life, don't you worry" Miyu said.

"Okay these flowers go over there and those frills look like something out of 18th century remove them" Chris was shouting commands at the top of her voice and Nouzumo was forced to arrange the tables and chairs….poor guy.

"Seiya, what are you doing here?"

"Thought you might need help and I had some work to discuss"

"Oh what is it?"

"Not with you with Kanata"

"He's not here"

"His best friend is getting married and he's not here are you kidding me"

"Not today, its tomorrow so there's no way he's here. He'll be at the hotel we're all staying in you can ask Santa for his room number"

"Thank you you're surprisingly helpful"

"Nah I'm just happy, Aya's getting married after all. About helping us, if you really meant it then can you please check out the wine list and see if anything else is needed as you're good with alcohol"

The dress rehearsal went by smoothly.

Aya's big day

"Oh god I'm so nervous"

"Okay, calm down and take a deep breath. It's just wedding jitters pretty normal"

"Nanami"

"Yes Aya"

"Shut up"

"What the…"

"Okay you two cut the crap…you go get her under that gown fast and I need to shower. I'm sure neither of us want to be late especially the lovely bride to be"

When Nanami disappeared with Aya and Miyu headed to the bathroom.

"Hello, anyone here"

"Hey what are you doing here?"

"Santa's messenger, message for the bride here and you, Nouzumo is looking for you"

"What is it?"

"Personal stuff between the bride and the groom, he said he want it back now so hurry up and answer the damn thing fast so I can go back"

"I need some privacy, hope you don't mind" with that Aya disappeared into another room and with nothing to do Kanata sat on the bed and looked around. Well that's interesting he thought. There was a pair of lacy black lingerie on display on the edge of the bed and he shied away from it quickly looking in the opposite direction. 'Better wait outside' he thought and stood up.

As he started to move toward the door he heard a loud voice and turned around.

'What was that, a crash or something' he heard it again. Someone was cursing loudly.

"What the hell, shit, damn, stupid, idiot. Aya! Can you please pass my lingerie" Miyu pleaded cracking the bathroom door enough to peer her hand out.

Kanata waited for some time when it was clear that Aya had not heard a single word he quietly picked them and shoved them into her demanding hand. He debated whether to wait outside the room or not and just when he was about to leave the door to the bathroom opened. Miyu walked into the room with hairs dripping and her towel wrapped around her waist in a triangular fashion giving her a look to die for. Kanata couldn't help but stare as she walked further into the room before registering his presence.

As Miyu walked into the room the last person she could ever expect was standing in front of her staring at her like…if she was edible he would have devoured her with pleasure. As their eyes met her breath hitched and her heart started racing. After quite a bit of staring at each other Kanata finally found his voice or rather sarcasm.

"It's not like there's something I haven't seen before" Kanata said dryly. She flushed and got hot all over which was embarrassing and something she hadn't experienced since a very, very long time.

"Shut up and why are you here?"

"Trust me I didn't volunteer for the job but as the best man I was forced to deliver a private message to bride from that fucking idiot groom and I have to carry her answer, whatever it is, back to that idiot"

"No matter how sweet that is on Santa's part you need to leave, I need to get dressed and I'll deliver that message to him myself, I assure you and I'll be discreet about it okay, so get the hell out of my room" she said, her voice every bit sweet as bitter nuts.

A sudden fury rocked him and before he knew he closed the distance between them in three long strides cornering Miyu.

"Nobody talks me like that Miyu, nobody not even you and better keep that in mind" he looked wild like an animal. His eyes were so cold that they terrified her to the point where her knees went all jelly. She was after all almost naked and he was so huge in front of her, shadowing her petty slender body. Her knees gave away and Kanata snapped out of his manic outburst going frightening mad to gentle in less than a second.

"Shit Miyu, I am sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you. I am so very sorry, shit, shit dammit, are you okay?" he bent down in front of her, his concern obvious in his previously cold eyes. She was sitting down the floor her legs drawn close to her body, chin resting on her knees as she started rocking her herself back and forth. The sight of her scared little body was more than enough for Kanata to curse his temperamental side while he stared at her. Looking at her fragile frame he suddenly felt a sharp pain right at the centre of his chest as he realised he was still in love with her. No matter how much he denied it he was still very much in love with her.

When Miyu found her voice back the first thing that her mind wanted to do was scream but she managed to quiet the urge.

"Get out"

"Miyu, I…"

"Get the hell out of here Kanata"

He looked at her but she didn't look back she was still rocking herself back and forth staring at the floor and he turned around and walked out that goddamn room.

'I was so stupid to think that he still loved me' she thought. 'I never knew he had moved on and here I was entertaining the fact that he still might be interested, I should have known better. He's after all exactly like Seiya's younger version'

As she tried to calm herself her mind went to how similar his cold stare was. Seiya looked like that all the time and at that moment she had realised that Kanata could do anything he wanted to her, he was big enough strong enough. She had a small frame and the only weapon was her mind but you can't help it if your mind is trying to signal you that you're weak. Somehow gathering her nerves back she tried to force her mind to act normal. No reason to spoil Aya's wedding. She stood up and went to get ready for the wedding.

The party was on full flare, drinks being downed, crazy dancing and the wedding had been perfect, piece of cake and now was the time for the after party. Despite of being a non drinker Miyu had downed a few glasses of champagne. Everybody was on the dance floor while she looked around scanning people. Nouzumo and Nanami were dirty dancing their way around, Aya and Santa lost in each other right in the centre and Mizuki with Chris somewhere lost in the sea of bodies. As she downed yet another glass of whatever it was she thought about how much she hated parties, too many people in too less space. She braced herself for another glass when she looked straight up and her eyes locked on to the person standing right in front of her. Kanata was staring at her.

Maybe it was the alcohol in her system or the anger of being completely helpless earlier that gave her the courage as she downed too more glasses and walked over to where he stood. He said nothing did nothing just took her hand and pulled her closer burying her deep among the crowd. And they began to dance, were they drunk? Probably yes because they were on fire as their bodies moved along the beats of Ryan star's start a fire. The song said more than what was on their minds. They could feel the heat as the anger, lust or love whatever it was took control of their minds and he kissed her hard not caring that she was engaged. She kissed him back so she didn't care either. It took all but 5 minutes for them to disappear from the floor and walk up to the elevator.

He couldn't keep his hands off her and neither could she as he kissed her again and again. When the elevator stopped at the floor where he was staying Kanata dragged her all the way to his room fumbling with his keys and locked them in. The physical attraction, the pull was strong enough to wipe away any rational thought from their minds as their bodies got busy.

Seiya was standing at a corner searching around for Miyu, when his eyes found her he was surprised to watch her downing vodka shots like water, she never drank. He was about to make his way to her when she stood abruptly and walked over to….Kanata. As he watched them disappear onto the floor he decided to follow. Keeping his distance he watched them dance or rather moulding into each other was more like it. The anger in him as so strong that he took a step to snatch his fiancée from those arms when he saw them kissing and lost it completely. He took off but they were faster. Pushing his way through the swarms of dancing bodies he tried to follow them to the elevators. When he caught them kissing just before the doors to elevators closed he knew it where they were heading to and knew what would be the next step as he turned around and walked back to where people were still dancing their night away. He walked over to the bar deciding to get wasted. He downed drink after drink while his mind threw pictures of his Miyu with Kanata and the urge to take revenge was so strong that he forcibly cracked the glass he was holding in his hand. He decided then and there what would be his next step to teach that little slut a lesson. She was going to pay, heavily for this as his eyes settled upon the married couple. He smiled thinking about his sweet revenge.

Loud pounding on the door woke them up.

"Kanata open the door" Santa sounded frantic.

He hurriedly put on the pants and walked to the door and opened it and Santa came in he looked like hell.

"What's wrong" Kanata asked as Miyu walked in at that moment fully clothed.

"Aya's missing"

"What... but how?"

"I don't know she was there when I went to shower. When I came back there was this note saying she was off to meet her gynaecologist, that it was urgent and not to worry. Thinking that maybe something was wrong with the baby I panicked and called but her phone was switched off. I called her doctor but her phone was out of reach too. So I called the clinic and asked to talk to the doc. When I asked her if anything was wrong with the baby she said no and congratulated me and then when asked her if I could talk to Aya she said Aya wasn't there and when I asked if she was sure she said yes. And since then I've been calling her but her phone is still off and it's been 2 hours. I don't know what to do, I really don't…" he fell down and Kanata lunged to support his best friend.

Miyu went cold with fear for Aya and prayed for her safety. She was thinking what to do next when her phone bleeped, a new message from Seiya, an address? But why would he send her an address and that's when she realised with cold dread that Aya was with him. He must have caught her with Kanata last night, the possibilities of what he could do to Aya made her weak at the knees again and she began to lose her ground. She forced herself not to panic.

It was time to act anyway and it was no time to panic as she took deep breaths to calm her nerves.

"Santa look at me, please." And when he looked at her she said "Don't worry Aya will be fine. I promise you, I'll bring her home safe and sound okay. Trust me alright"

"What are saying, do you even know where she is?" Kanata asked her.

"Listen right now you need to take care of him and no matter what don't contact police, it'll be life threatening for her" when he started to interrupt her she said "I know what I'm doing and I want you to do exactly as I say. Do not contact any one from the police and trust me I'll bring her back. And leave, take others with you and don't tell anyone about your location. You cannot trust anyone right now and hurry up just leave this place"

"Miyu, where are you going? I can't let you go like that"

"Please Kanata I need you to do as I said, keep others safe for few hours okay, I know what I am doing and you have to keep them and yourself safe, please check out now"

She wanted to tell him she loved him, chances were high that she might be seeing his beautiful face for the last time but instead she ran out of his room to hers and grabbing her handgun she raced out of the hotel and headed to where Seiya was waiting for her.

how was it? terrible good? okay? let me know!

and guys thank you for reading or not reading and keeping up with my mistakes...i know i rushed this story and up next is the last chapter...here you go

Sneek peek to next chapter

"Not so soon sweetheart, I still have a lot on my mind, oh the things that I want to do to you but first I am going to kill your best friend in front of your eyes, can't wait to see your pain" and he waved his hand and a tall strong built guy dressed in The Matrix style dragged Aya into the basement. Hands flew in the air in split seconds as everyone drew out their weapons. Two guns trained at Miyu, Seiya's and Mikan's while her gun pointed at Seiya.

"A scratch on my friend and I am going to shoot you"

"You might've grown up but you're too righteous to shoot anyone" Seiya said.

"You'll be surprised by what I can do"

"No doubt so how about we cut a deal I'll let your friend go and you drop the gun"

"You think I'm gonna trust you"

"Sorry Miyu but you really are in no place to bargain so how about this, drop your gun or your friend goes down and so will you even if you shoot me"

Trying to think a way out she kept her gun trained at Seiya. There was no way out and she thought at least others were safe as she prepared for the inevitable.
