Chapter 1: A GLIMPSE FROM THE PAST
"Kanata!" A familiar voice shouted the name of a boy about 15 years of age.
"Wait up!"
It was March 15, the birthday of a certain girl named Miyu Kouzuki (I know her surname is also known as 'Kouduki', but I'll just use Kouzuki for now.)
"Goodbye Wannya!" said the two students as they happily raced towards their school. When they reached their classroom, they noticed that it was very dark and nobody's around.
"SURPRISE!" all of their classmates greeted Miyu.
"Happy Birthday!" they said with balloons and a pink cake. "Thank you everyone!" Miyu gladly said. But someone was slowly walking towards her.
"Miyu and Kanata should've planned to marry after the celebration of Miyu's birthday." Christine said, carrying the teacher's table.
"No, it's not like that!" Miyu said with a tear-drop at the back of her head.
"Oh, what did I do again?" Christine said, who is now back to her sweet, normal self.
After classes…
"Miyu! Go home by yourself; I have to talk to Santa about something!" Kanata shouted.
"Okay!" She responded.
At the Saionji Temple…
"I'm home! Ruu! Wannya!"
"Miss Miyu! Where's Master Kanata?"
"Mama!" Ruu flew to her arms. "Well, he said that he had to talk to Santa about something."
"Okay. Miss Miyu, since it's your birthday, what do you want for dinner?"
"Pumpkin stew and some sweet dumplings."
"Are you sure? But isn't that Master Kanata's and my favorite food?" "Yeah, but whatever makes you happy, makes me happy too."
What's taking Kanata so long? She thought to herself.
At the Jewelry shop…
I've got to buy something special for Miyu, but what? He asked to himself.
He then saw a beautiful necklace, which has a heart-shaped pendant full of diamonds of alternating pink and white.
It's perfect! He said to himself.
"I want to buy this one please!"
"Ok!" The saleslady agreed. "Please wrap it in a pink gift wrapper."
"Sure sir."
I'm sure the one that I love…I mean…Miyu will love this. He told himself. He got out of the Jewelry shop, already on his way home. He was crossing the street until…
"BAMM!"
A drunk driver bumped the boy, who dropped his gift.
At the Saionji temple…
"That Kanata! He could've at least told me that he won't be eating dinner."
"Kriingg!"
"I'll get it!" insisted Miyu.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Is this the Saionji residence?"
"Well…yes it is."
"Are you one of his relatives?"
"Yes."
"Please come here at the hospital"
"Why? What's wrong?" Before she was answered back, the phone hung up.
"Stay here Wannya!" She commanded.
She hurriedly went to the hospital and was shocked of what she saw. -----
It was Kanata.
At her point of view, he looks as if he was just in the deepest slumber you could ever imagine. He seems not even breathing. As for Miyu, she was---officially starving and her stomach maybe growling, asking for her kind consideration about feeding it, while she was trying to wake the brunette boy.
Hoping that she wouldn't have to give up; she decided to call the doctor. The moment she opened the door, she was speechless when she saw a humongous windy hole, the size of the whole room. She was a little curious, so she entered through it. There she was, floating like some kind of balloon, while seeing strange creatures passing by her and not noticing her, like she was some kind of invisible thing.
"What a strange atmosphere, I wonder where this will lead me to." She said, looking from side to side. Finally, her destination was determined. She landed like she just fell from the sky, and then bumped her head on a staircase that seemed to be vaguely familiar to her.
"Is this…the Saionji temple?...no, it possibly can't be, can it?" She said while sensing a person coming downstairs. She hid behind a bush and tried to recognize the person who appeared to be matured.
"And is that…Saionji?" She said while watching the man walk down the stairs. She tried to approach him, then she lost her confidence and turned away from the person she was watching.
"What's that?" The 21-year-old man said who appears to be someone we could recognize if this was animated. "Hello? Is anybody there?" He said looking at the bush that was wiggling a little. Miyu seemed to breath in a dust particle that caused her to do a VERY LOUD… "Ha-choo!" sneeze…
"Hey! What are you doing here?" Said Kanata, giving Miyu a very disappointed look. "Uh-Uhm, I can explain…" Oh snap! I just got caught! How unluckily dumb of me to keep myself from sneezing loudly. I promise to myself, the next time, I will practice the habit of sneezing quietly. Miyu said staring straightly at the man who was waiting for her valuable explanation, because of the fact that she has ruined his entire schedule for work. "Look, uhm-little girl, I would like to briefly explain to you that I think you should-err-you should-…" He was stopped by Miyu's expression, like she's telling him that 'stop-saying-very-formal-words-you-old-guy' expression. "I think you should be at school, don't you think?"
"Oh…I'm sorry, were you even talking a single word there, old man?"
"I am NOT an OLD MAN!" "What's the matter? Can't you recognize me?"
"Recognize you? And who are you exactly to be recognized by a polite OLD MAN like me?" "Kanata, I'm-I'm Mi…yu…"
"Miyu?" Kanata said, blankly staring into space.
"Yes, Miyu, do you remember me?"
"Uhmm…NOPE."
"WHAT! What do you have, amnesia or something…HUH…maybe…no…you couldn't have." "Can I ask you something, err…Mr.Saionji?" "Sure, but first, let me ask you something, how on earth did you know my name?"
"Uhm, can I ask my question first?" "Sure…go ahead…"
"Do you remember uhm…Aya, Nanami, Christine, Santa, Nozomu and Ms. Mizuno?" "Hey! How did you? ---how did you know that?" Kanata said who was dead-surprised.
"Why?" "They were my classmates and my homeroom teacher, Ms. Mizuno."
"So…you remember them, but why can't you remember me?" She said while her eyes slowly get watery. Oh great, this is just plain ridiculous! What's wrong with him? Is he just absent-minded or is he just playing tricks on me? (Poor Miyu, I wish we could tell her that after the accident, which was told earlier, Kanata got amnesia, but he can only remember the things before the accident and a few MONTHS after it.)
"Well…I must say that I will think that none of this ever happened and I, honestly never even met you before, so I suggest that you should run back to your school and finish your studies. And one more thing…please! I NEVER WANT TO BE BOTHERED BY YOU OR ANYONE ELSE THAT I DON'T SEEM TO RECOGNIZE" Kanata went 'confidently' upstairs, without noticing that Miyu was following him. Hee hee hee, he doesn't even notice me…
Kanata quickly faced at the back and he saw Miyu. He became angrier than ever. "What are you still doing here? Don't you know that you're trespassing?" He said putting his hands on his hips. "Trespassing? Since when did you tell me I was trespassing in my mom's friend's (a.k.a. Kanata's mom) temple?" she said while crossing her arms and trying to ignore what Kanata just said. Hey! Who's your mom? "Miki Kouzuki."
"Miki? My mother's best friend? I didn't know she had a 14-year-old daughter." The confused boy, (now a man!) said, while scratching his head and looking at the sky…
"Wow! There sure are a lot of clouds today…and look! There's one shaped like a fried chicken!" He said as if he didn't already care about the 14-year-old stranger…
'Sniff…sniff…'
"What's wrong with you now?"
"I…I…"
"What?"
"You also did and said those things before I fell here, because…I don't know why I fell here but…I sure do miss the Kanata I know…" She said this as she headed to the place where they always talk outside. (Outside the room, near the door, I think.) She sat there and looked at the sky. "I know you like pumpkin, and I know you have a father named Hosho, which I preferably call 'Uncle Hosho', because of the fact that our mothers were the best of friends."
"But…how did you…and how can a young teenager like you, be friends with an adult like me?" he said while walking near her and waiting for her to answer the question, so that his mind will have less confusion. "I was…am…your classmate…"
"Wha- how? - you?" he was speechless of the shocking information that was given to him---BY A YOUNG GIRL!
"I didn't know how I got here, but it seems that you can't remember me, and I can't go back to where I was, so I have no choice but to find a place that I can live in for the meantime…" she walked away from Kanata's direction and she's preparing to go down the stairs when…
"Wait! If you'd like, you could stay here." he said, blushing…a little… "Uhmm…is there any room for me there?" she asked, pretending to not know the capacity or space of the Saionji temple. "Uh…sure! I just have to discuss with my father about this later." He said leading Miyu to her room. (which was really her room before she got to this time.)
I now know that I am not really in my own time anymore…I'm in the future! I'm really dazzled and amazed by this, but I really don't think I should see Kanata or the others, or let them see me, 'because I might change time and history, and changing it is the last thing I'd do.
"Here you go…" "Thanks, but I want to ask you another favor…" "What could that be?" "Could you lend me some clothes? Because, as you can see, I don't have any clothes other than what I'm wearing now.
"Oh…that is a problem…Would you wait for a sec.?"
"Ok…" Kanata ran towards the attic and found what he was looking for. Then, he ran to room where Miyu currently is. "Here you go!" he said as he handed Miyu a kimono. "Where did this come from?" she asked curiously while inspecting the kimono. "My mom…she wore that when she was still in the same age as you are…would you just stop asking and wear this!"
"Ok! Ok!" she said as she pushed him outside her room. "Hey! You could've just asked me to leave." "It's no use, you're already outside." She said while laughing at Kanata. After he left, she began to try on the kimono he gave her. Wow, Kanata's mom really is my size…she thought. She looked at herself in the mirror… "Whoa! Is this really…me?" in the mirror, she saw a gorgeous young lady, who's Kimono has a cherry blossom design in it, with a color of periwinkle as the background. Kanata entered her room, without even knocking or announcing himself coming in.
"AAHHH!" "Relax, it's just me…" "Why'd you scare me like that? Geez! You want me to have a heart attack or something?" I hope so…he thought. "Uhmm…no! No intention of killing a worthless being, imagine that! A worthless being worthlessly killed? Man! How worthless could that be?" he said while insulting the high-tempered Miyu, who is now behind him, trying to control herself from raising her sleeve and punching with a big fist the man who's annoying her.
"If he still was a boy not a man, I could've hit him!" she said, muttering to herself… "What did you say?" "Oh, nothing!" she said while persuading herself to smile. She raised her eyebrow and said, "Why are you staring at me?" "Huh! Me? Oh, no particular reason…" "Didn't you know that staring at people, especially without their permission, is very bad and uncomfortable? It makes you look bad on their first impression on you. And why are you staring at me? I don't like people who are staring at me when I'm this beautiful!" (hehehe…) "Yeah…you're right…" "What's that?" "Oh! Did I say anything?" "Never mind, you're really weird!"
She walked out of her room, when suddenly, (it's already midnight) there was a knock on the front door, and since Miyu was not expecting any visitors, and the fact that it was already midnight, she stopped herself from going near the door. You can tell that she was very scared because her body was trembling as she hesitated for the right time to calm herself and open the front door.
She heard a grumbling sound, a little identical to a lion's roar, but softer. "What was that?" The sound became louder and louder, and it sounded like there was a monster in the front door. She got terrified and got nowhere near the door. "What should I do know?" the sound became closer and closer, then suddenly…the lights went out. "Oh no!" she said, shivering like a cute little mouse, searching for food. Then, she got so nervous and very much scared, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" and yes folks, she screamed.
Kanata (as usual) came to the rescue. (Ah…my hero! ) He ran towards Miyu, holding a flashlight. He went near her (she was sitting on the floor…) and stayed close to her. "Are you alright?" he said. "Whaa-what? Oh, I'm fine, but…but…" "But what?" "There's something at that door. She pointed the front door and Kanata, once again looked like the protector of the whole wide world. He went near the door. "No! Don't!" Miyu said, but he insisted to solve this very simple problem. He opened the front door, thunder and lightning was heard. He was then surprised by the silhouette of a man, a chubby, bald man.
"Dad?" he suspiciously said. "What are you doing here? Are you finished?" "Nope, I just went home to get some things that I left." He said, and then went to the direction where the kitchen was. Miyu tried to hide where it was dark, but Hosho, Kanata's dad, caught her. "Wait dad!" he said to prevent him, but he was too late. Hosho was getting closer to Miyu. "Hey! Who are you! Show your face to me!" Uh, no choice… she thought to herself. She turned around and then…
