Chapter 3

Classroom Invasion

"Don't worry! This girl is trustworthy!" Seiya assured them happily, giving the pink-haired girl a few taps on her back. The taps turned out to be huge slaps because the girl looked like she was about to get a taste of the floor.

"Whew!" Miyu and Kanata released a breath of relief and collapsed on the floor.

Ears appeared out of Hosho's bald head.

"Then I don't have to pretend anymore!" he smiled then shouted, "Wannya!" In a puff of smoke the old man turned into a weird animal which looked like a combination of a cat and a dog.

Seiya suddenly dashed in front of the girl and flailed his arms like a bird.

"Seiya, you must understand that because of earth's gravity, you won't be able to fly no matter how much you flap your arms." Wannya said in a as-a-matter-of-fact tone.

"I can't?" Seiya looked like he still wanted to argue but instead, he said, "Look at the time!" He turned to the pink-haired girl. "Let's go!" he dragged her out of the room.

"Wait!" Miyu stood up and followed the two. Seiya was standing just outside the door in his running position. His hand was grabbing the collar of the girl's uniform.

"Yes?" Seiya asked.

"What's your name?" Miyu asked the girl.

"Eh?" she hesitated for a moment. Seiya opened his mouth and was about to answer for her when she finally said, "It's Ayumi…" she managed to smile before Seiya dragged her with him.

Miyu watched them disappear behind a corner.

"A-yumi…"

"Y'know, that girl is strange… even for an alien…" Kanata said, walking ahead of Miyu.

"How can you say that?"

"She knows us… Only the two of us though… Her eyes almost dropped out of their sockets when she Wannya change…"

Flashback

Miyu and Kanata were both heaving their chests as if they just ran a marathon. Sparks of electricity connected their eyes. The devilish stares they were giving each other screamed the fact that they just had a heated argument.

A faint voice broke the silence.

"Excuse me… Miyu Kouzuki? Kanata Saionji?"

"WHAT!" They yelled in accord.

A 'thud' echoed below the Saionji Temple as everything went black for the pink-haired girl.

End of Flashback

"She seems to know Master Kanata's father too." Wannya, carrying baby Ruu, appeared behind Miyu.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

The noise was coming from the front door.

Kanata went ahead and opened it.

"Ah, Christine," Miyu heard Kanata say.

She checked out their visitor.

Christine was standing outside their door, blushing harder than ever just because the subject of her affection said her name.

"A-ah-hi, Kanata," She said. "I just dropped by to ask why you two were absent… you and Miyu…"

Miyu and Kanata felt all the hair on their body stand on one end.

"…are the two of you… alone?"

Christine was having one of her weird fantasies again.

Christine as Miyu: "Oh dear, I'm sick…" /cough,cough/

Christine as Kanata: "Don't worry Miyu, I'll take care of you."

Christine as Miyu: "Oh, Kanata…"

Christine as Kanata: "Oh, Miyu…"

"Their faces grow closer and closer…" Christine muttered.

Miyu could already sense Christine's evil aura and her hair was doing that creepy thing again – it was flying – even though there isn't even a waft.

"ARGH!" Her eyes glowed as she ripped the door off it's hinges.

Kanata gestured at Wannya.

"Hi there, Christine." Hosho emerged behind Miyu. He was carrying 'Miyu's brother'.

"Mr. Saionji!" She seized a hammer from who-knows-where and started fixing the door.

"Oh my, what happened to me?" she asked innocently.

Miyu and Kanata wiped the sweat off their foreheads.

"Oh, umm… Miyu… why were you absent?"

Miyu pretended to cough and she nudged Kanata's ribs. He started coughing too.

"I have a fever… Kanata too… But, don't worry/cough/ Uncle Hosho is taking care of us/cough,cough/

"Yes! Yes!" Wannya, as Hosho, agreed.

"I don't have to worry anymore…" she sighed. " Oh, I almost forgot, Aya, Nanami and Santa couldn't come today because they were doing something… they didn't tell me what it was, though… Anyway, I'm going now. I'm glad to know that both of you are fine." She turned to leave.

"By the way… who was that girl earlier? I heard her mention my surname." She thought for a while then said, "Get well soon!" she walked away.

Kanata looked at Miyu as if saying, "See what I mean?"

RIIING!

RIIING!

The school bell was ringing, announcing the start of class.

SLAM!

"Whew! We're just in time!" Miyu dropped on her knees because of exhaustion. Aya and Nanami helped her stand on her feet again.

"Good morning, Aya, Nanami…" she said tiredly. "You can't imagine how fast I ran today…"

"If one girl here did her homework earlier…" Kanata said sarcastically, adding emphasis on the word 'girl'.

"Well SO-RRY Mr. Smarty Pants! I guess the capacity of my AVERAGE brain isn't enough to match your HIGH intellectual power!" Miyu snapped back.

"I'm surprise you know all those facts pea-brain!" Kanata answered.

Christine's eyes flashed dangerously.

"Ahem." A polite cough from their teacher reminded them that they were still in the classroom.

"Thank you for your… errr… morning greetings Miyu and Kanata." She narrowed her eyes at the two of them. They hurried to their seats.

"Anyway, today I will introduce THREE new additions to our classroom!" she ushered some people into the classroom.

"Introduce yourselves, please."

The first one took off his cap.

"I'm Seiya Yaboshi. Nice to meet you!"

The second one looked quite shy.

"I'm Ayumi Mishima. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Miyu and Kanata froze on their seats while Christine was muttering, "That's the girl yesterday…"

The whole class – except for Miyu, Kanata and Christine – was looking at the third person.

"Good morning. My name is Hikaru Nishizawa. I'm pleased to meet you."

Miyu looked at everyone confusedly.

"Psst… Nanami… why are you all staring at him like that?"

Nanami answered Miyu with her eyes glued to the Nishizawa guy. "Miyu, don't you know him? He is Hikaru Nishizawa, the super popular teen idol! He's a popstar!"
