Spy Time
"Really? I don't recognize him." Miyu said, scrutinizing the boy from head to foot.
"But he does look familiar…" She added in a murmur.
"Miyu, have you ever heard of this thing called a 'television'? Honestly! How could you not know him? He's in all sorts of shows and commercials!" Nanami exclaimed.
"I haven't been watching a lot of TV lately…" she thinks of all the time she allots on taking care of Ruu, chores, studying, not to mention the frequent visits they get from the alien race and the trouble they get into with Ruu's weird toys. No wonder she didn't have time to catch up on the latest showbiz happenings.
"Well you must have seen him on the poster outside the supermarket! " Nanami asked desperately.
"Uhh… yeah!" Miyu said.
At that time the three new students were already being assigned to their new seats.
"Yaboshi and Mishima, both of you will be seated at the last row behind Kanata and Santa" Miss Mizuno turned her head towards the two seats from the window.
"That's us!" Santa waved his hand at them.
"And Nishizawa will be on the opposite side, the seat at the last row beside the door."
Recess time…
"Kyaa! Hikaru, can I have your autograph!'
"Can I kiss you?"
"Waaah! You're even cuter in person!"
These were only a few praises that can be heard from the seat by the door.
"Wow… even girls from other classes and levels are here…" Aya said.
Nanami was trying to catch a glimpse of Hikaru, who was hidden beyond the huge crowd.
"There are some boys too…" she said.
"That means I'll have Kanata for myself… seeing that all the girls are busy with Nishizawa… heheheheeee…" Christine was talking to herself…as usual.
"This is really creepy…" Aya said
Nozomu entered the room swirling. Okame was hovering just above him.
"I can't believe this! There must be some bewitching chants in his songs! That scum hypnotized all my little sheeps!" He executed some dramatic moves complete with tears and background music. He caught a glimpse of Miyu talking with Ayumi.
"Ahh! But my little Miyu's love for can resist all kinds of spells! And that girl too…"
"So I'm staying at Seiya's place together with her sister…"Miu was informing Miyu on where she's staying
"You're living together!" Santa yelled, looking at Miu and Seiya.
"Ahh…" her face was getting soaked by her sweat. "We're… siblings! Yeah!" she nodded.
"By the way, did you guys know a lady with an orange on her head? She's our neighbour and… she seems to be good friends with my sister." Seiya asked
"Mikan!" Miyu, Santa, Aya and Nanami said altogether.
"Lemme guess…Mikan made you ink her manga, right?" Kanata asked hopefully.
"Yes…" They both said quietly.
"Kanata, this means…" Miyu said looking at Kanata.
"We're free!" Kanata said, suddenly standing up.
They danced around like a couple of buffoons. They stopped when they saw the look on Christine's face.
"Huh?" Miu was wondering why they were so happy.
"You know Ayumi, usually, Mikan would go to the Saionji Temple and bother Kanata and Miyu when her deadline is near. But it seems that things have changed…" Aya explained.
"How'd you know we helped her with her manga?" Seiya asked.
"Here." Miyu handed them her mirror.
"What are these dark half-circles under my eyes?" Seiya whispered to Miu.
"They are called eye bags. You get them when you stay up all night." She answered.
"You sure know a lot." Kanata muttered. Only Miu heard him.
"Uhh… well…" Miu was sweating a lot. Luckily, Nanami suddenly spoke up.
"Miyu, I didn't know you were friendly! You made the first move on Ayumi!"
'She makes it sound like mom's courting me…' Miu thought.
"Oh. I already know her." Miyu realized that she made a major slip-up too late.
'Idiot' Kanata thought.
"Ummm… Didn't you know! She's my cousin!" Miyu blurted.
"That explains the striking resemblance." Christine said.
"What?" Miyu looked at Miu… everybody did.
'Oh no…' her cheeks turned from rosy to pale.
"Little Miyu!" Nozomu came swirling towards her. "You have not betrayed me!" He handed her the usual rose. He turned his head towards Miu, "And this is for you my new admirer." Okame landed in front of her and place a red rose on desk. "Goodbye, I have to break the curse of that dolt!"
'Who's the real dolt?' all of them thought while looking at Nozomu as he tried to get past the crowd of admirers.
"The upper story of that guy is all screwed up." Nanami informed her.
"If he acts normal… warn us." Aya said.
Dismissal time…
"Here you go, Miyu, Ayumi." Nanami handed both of them small pieces of paper. "The girls are having another bishounen contest. They're wondering if Kanata will remain undefeated or if Hikaru will take over his throne!" she declared. "Who are you voting for?" she added in a whisper.
"I guess I have no choice but to vote for that stupid Kanata." Miyu pouted.
"I'll be voting for him too." Miu said.
Nanami looked at Miu suspiciously. 'Another addition to the Kanata Fan Club, huh?'
Miu seemed to have read her mind so she said, "Well b-because I don't know who that other guy is…"
"What are you two? Members of the I-don't-watch-TV club? Jeez!" she walks away.
"Where's Seiya?" Miu asked.
"Ah, he forced Kanata to tour him around the school." She looks at her wristwatch. "I better go now. Wannya asked me to buy some groceries."
"Okay. I'll wait for Seiya," was what Miu said but what she was thinking was, 'Spy time…'
Once Miyu was at a safe distance away, Miu sneaked behind her.
When they were outside, Miu saw someone running towards Miyu so she hid behind a bush.
"Hey, what are you doing?" someone from behind her asked.
Her heart skipped a beat. She nervously turned her head amd saw…
"Seiya! D - Kanata!" she said. "Umm… errr…" she would look suspicious if she told them the truth. Actually, she already looks suspicious. They all heard Miyu's voice. By instinct, Miu grabbed their collars and pulled them down so they wouldn't be seen.
"Hey… you're the new student. Nishizawa, right?"
Nishizawa was breathing heavily and he was grabbing on his knees for support.
"Yeah…" he answered.
"You just ran from your fan girls?" Miyu asked.
Hikaru Nishizawa stood up straight and looked directly at Miyu.
Miyu blushed. He IS handsome.
After a few seconds of silence. Miyu stuttered "Oh sorry, I haven't introduced myself. I'm – "
"Miyu Kouzuki. I know." He said casually.
"Huh?" Miyu was baffled.
"You're the reason I came here."
