Chapter 5
Sudden Realizations
"Huh?" Miyu had question marks appearing above her head.
"What!" Seiya and Miu said, their eyes getting large.
Kanata just stayed quiet.
"I don't think I've met someone named Hikaru Nishizawa before." Miyu said.
Nisizawa chuckled. "Of course not. I changed my name when I started doing shows and stuff."
"But you must be mistaken because I really don't recognize you at all…" Miyu said apologetically.
"Don't you remember your old friend… Hiroyuki Takamura?
She blinked once.
She blinked twice.
"Hiro!" She stared at him for some time, bewildered at what she just heard.
"Yep. That's me" He pointed his index finger to his face.
"But… You couldn't possibly be…!" Miyu could not believe it because…
"What? You expected 'Hiro' to STILL look like a load of fat that grew a head?" Hiro asked Miyu.
"Errr… actually, I thought you'd be fatter."
Hiro laughed. "You're still the same."
Flashback
A very fat boy opened the door to their house and announced, "I'm home!"
He was sweating and a towel hung on his right shoulder. He took off his shoes with his chubby hand and walked towards the stairs.
"Welcome home Hiro!" A plump woman came out of one room. "A letter arrived today. It's from your friend, Miyu."
'Why would she give me a letter? We see each other at school everyday… Besides, she could just call… oh yeah, our phone is out of service…' He took the letter and ripped it open.
Dear Hiro,
We might not be able to see each other for who-knows-how-long. I'll be staying at Heiomachi until my parents return from America. They didn't even ask for my opinion first before they went. I don't want to leave… but my mom and dad have been waiting all their lives for an opportunity to work at NASA. Also, they told me that I'll be staying a huge mansion and that the view up there is the best! At least there's a positive side to it.
I'll write to you when I get there.
Miyu
P.S.: When I return, we'll go to the beach and you'll be my rubber dinghy in case I drown!
End of Flashback
"We'll still go to the beach right? Don't worry, I'll still save you in case you drown… But I won't be your rubber dinghy… I'll be your lifeguard." Hiro said.
From behind the bush…
"That's got to be the corniest thing I have ever heard." Miu murmured to herself.
She looked behind her. Kanata was already leaving.
"Hey Kanata, don't you want to hear the rest?" Seiya asked.
"It was wrong of me to listen in the first place. Miyu's affairs are none of my business." He walked away.
Miyu was also walking away together with Hiro.
"Hey, I thought you were gonna write me some letters? And where is this huge house you're staying at?" was the last thing they heard Hiro say.
"Seiya! Our mission had barely started and it's already backfiring!" Miu said anxiously.
Seiya, however, only stared at a distance.
Flashback
Seiya was dragging Miu down the steps of the Saionji Temple.
Once she was safely on the ground (Seiya ran so fast, Miu's feet were already off the cement!), she pulled her hand from Seiya's grip.
"I don't even know if I can trust you!" She glared at Seiya.
Seiya smiled. "Who else can you trust?"
Miu was speechless. She didn't even expect him give that reply. Just when she was thinking of a better reply, Seiya gave her a goofy smile.
"What do you think? I learned that from the teletubby."
Miu turned chibi. "Huh?"
Teletubby Telebee Televi TV
"It's the television, you moron!"
'He seems harmless… and dumb…' she softened her features. 'Well, he DID save me back then… How did he save me? Oh yeah. He's an alien. He read my mind.'
"WOAH! YOU'RE AN ALIEN WHO CAN READ MINDS!" Miu screeched.
Luckily the place was deserted.
"Yeah!" Seiya said happily, still wearing that ridiculous smile.
Miu looked at him as if he was out his mind so he said, "Want me to prove it to you? For example, today you're wearing an underwear with cute, little polka-dotted – "
"TOO MUCH INFORMATION!" Miu went berserk.
Seiya laughed, "This is even funnier the second time! Last time, Miyu freaked out when I told Kanata her bra size was A…"
By now, Miu was wondering whether she should just choke Seiya to death or bury him alive.
'What a perverted little wuss.'
"Ok, I believe you now… and I guess you've earned my trust… even though you're a pervert. So… How do I get back to my own timeline?" Miu asked wearily.
"Well… I've thought about it… but we'll worry about that later! Now we have to think of a way to make the future happen!" He raised both his eyebrows twice as if saying, "know what I mean?"
Miu suddenly understood.
"I like the way you think!" she said.
"MATCHMAKING MISSION! WAHAHAHAHA!" They said in chorus.
End of Flashback
Miu was staring at Seiya when a sudden realization hit her.
"Hey Seiya… can you lend me some of your mind-reading powers?"
"But why – "
"Can you?"
'I won't lose anything anyway…' he thought.
Seiya stretched his palm and it glowed mysteriously.
Miu closed her eyes as her hands started warming up.
"There." Seiya said.
She opened her lids and grabbed Seiya's hand.
After a few moments of silence she said, "I knew it." She stood up and dusted her skirt.
Seiya blinked.
"About the matchmaking mission…" she said, avoiding his gaze.
"What about it?"
"I don't need your help anymore."
