When love and hate collides 10
Face your fears (part II)
They couldn't get anything out after that so they decided to proceed upstairs without being heard. "It's pretty scary... what do you guys think when they said they'll do it the hard way?" Miyu asked worry evident in her voice. Kanata somehow sensed this and assured her that they meant no harm. "There's something fishy going on and we're not about to let that pass!" Santa raised his hand like he won some game. Aya did the same as well as Nanami, putting on their fighting spirits. "guys? are crazy or well you've been like that, but you don't know what's out there! Come on you---"
"You need a great deal of evidence before you start something risky."
"Yeah right! Always the smart one, hey you canine! I was supposed to say that!" said Miyu on the process of hitting Kanata playfully on his head. "Alright, we'll think of something but for now, let's bring Miyu inside." Aya said as Santa opened the door for the two. Just when the door opened for the two was when it closed. The trio went to Aya and Nanami's room to think of Plan A then Plan B, as for the two, well they still had to clean Miyu's wounds.
"Hey you dog! It looks small but it's still painful!" Miyu was looking nervously at the cotton and the alcohol kanata was preparing. "I think I'll just wash it with water." She added while looking at Kanata who was about to place it. "Whaaaaa! Ouch!" She screamed shutting her eyes. "You bird, I haven't placed it yet." Miyu opened her left eye, looking at the cotton that was still inches from her wound. "I know." Just then, Kanata neared the cotton when... "Aaahhh! Waaaaaaaahhhhh!" Miyu screamed though she really didn't feel any cotton touching her foot. Kanata sighed and placed the cotton quickly. "OUCH! Hey that was for real!" She exclaimed realizing that Kanata already placed it. "Yeah... and did it hurt? You're making it worse you know. Like what you did during the play---" Suddenly, both of them held a blank expression on their face. Only one thing came into their heads at the mention of it.
Actual play
Maya and Shiro were locked inside a room because of their crazy friends. It was dark and Maya surely wasn't cool with it. She really hates dark places.
"Get me out of here!" She began to scream and was at the verge of crying. "They're never gonna do it." After she heard him say that, she completely cried everything out. "I hate dark places!" She said in between her sobs. She curled up there like a five year old kid who was lost inside a mall. In the middle of her weeping, she felt two arms encircling her form, engulfing her into a warm and gentle hug. "It's alright... I'm here. You know that."
"Shiro..." He looked at her face which was illuminated by the light coming from a full moon from a slight hole upon the roof. Her eyes were quite red from crying and her tear stricken cheeks. He then placed his hands on her cheeks and caressed It, Soothing her. Before they knew it, their face was getting closer and closer until their lips met in an enticing caress at first which eventually went deeper.
"I Love You Maya..."
"Shiro..."Before she could finish her sentence, Shiro then again engulfed her into a kiss, A very passionate one that even they didn't know if it was just a part of the play or if it's a part of what their hearts are telling them.
End
The two snapped back as Miyu picked up the cotton which fell while Kanata got the Band aid which was behind him. When Miyu finally got the fallen cotton as well as kanata, having the band aid and turned to Miyu who was exactly lifting up her face.
Miyu lifted up her face just in time to see Kanata's face turn back. In one second, they faced each other... faces centimeters away. The two shyly met each other in one kiss... but definitely, a different one. It started out shyly but seconds passed or so, it went deeper. Their lips tasting each other... it was about to get deeper when they heard someone walk in. Good thing there was still a hall before their beds. They faced each other, surprised and minded their own businesses after that.
"We couldn't think of something." Santa started out disappointed. "Well actually Santa, we had, and you don't want to consider it."
"Sneak out at midnight? Never!"
Kanata and Miyu remained quiet. The three looked at their awkward moment. "What's up?"
"A harassing stray dog attacked me."
"Harassing? I was trying to clean your wounds!" Miyu raised her eyebrow at him wondering why he was changing the subject in turn, Kanata raised his eyebrow at him too. "Uh—guys?" In the middle of their conversation, they heard foot steps from outside their room.
"Shhh..." Santa and Aya went towards the door and opened it very slight. The four peeked in too, seeing what was happening through the crack of door. Outside were men dressed in black carrying some trays with them, they were going upstairs, which was the 4th floor and also, the floor they couldn't go in. Miyu accidentally slipped on the edge of the carpet causing her to fall on Kanata and Kanata on Nanami and Nanami on Aya and Aya on Santa. 'Thud' they closed their eyes fearing that those men heard them but luckily, they didn't. Soon, they all sat up leaning on the wall.
"What do you think is up there?"
"What? It might be a 'who' for all we know." Aya received some weird stares and concluded. "Look guys, they're bringing up trays with foods."
"Food? What kind of food? Dog food?"
"I don't know, but I doubt that there are even animals in this place. If there's any, they're pretty quiet for some animal you know."
"I'm right ain't I? I told you sneaking up would be a perfect idea!"
"You know, maybe he's right. And it's the only thing possible to do. But do you think we could find out in exactly... 3 days?"
"Come on Nanami, at least we've got to try."
"Like there's something I could do."
The four announced the personnel that they were in so as not to make them suspicious. The personnel greeted them and continued whatever they were doing before that. They looked around the place to find anything. They were completely quiet since Miyu had to stay inside her room figuring that her wound won't let her walk for a while. Kanata was hesitant to leave her there for some reason but she insisted him to, or maybe forced him out.
"I thought it wouldn't take that long." Miyu said to herself. She went out of her room, using the walls as a support. The hall was completely deserted since everyone was still enjoying their swim. She was in front of the staircase when she heard someone going down, so she acted casually but the men knew that every one was supposed to be out.
One of the men whispered something to the other and so, he nodded. The two went beside Miyu and held her arms, dragging her upstairs.
The quad searched the whole place and the result is... ZERO. they've searched the huge place and found nothing. So they decided to go back, but on their way up, they saw an open door underneath the stairs? "We didn't see that before." Santa decided to see what it was as curiosity tugged on him. Aya and Nanami followed suit while Kanata decided to check up on Miyu.
Miyu tried to scream but only a muffled on came out since the men placed a cloth on her mouth to shut her up. She struggled to get free but her wounded foot got in the way. They were halfway towards the higher floor when they saw Kanata glaring at them. Miyu's face brightened but soon held fright since Kanata couldn't handle all of them. "Let her go."
"Kanata run! They're too... mmfff!" The men covered her mouth again dragging her up. Three men attacked Kanata and gave him a hand chop on the junction of his neck and shoulder causing him to lose his consciousness. They caught him and tied his wrist as well. Miyu cast a worried glance at Kanata while walking upstairs which was against her will.
"Wow! A secret passage? How exciting could this be!" Santa and Aya exclaimed while Nanami looked intently at something. "Hey guys, what's this?" Nanami held a picture of an old man. Below the picture was something transcript. 'Directore Urasawa'
"Director Urusawa?"
"Maybe he's the owner."
"No, we've met the owner but he's not this man."
"Come on, we might gather some information at the end of this tunnel..."
"If it ends."
Kanata and Miyu were placed inside an attic room which only had the small window as a source of light. Kanata was resting on Miyu's lap since he was still unconscious. Miyu looked around the room but it was rather empty, only a painting on a wall and more than that, there was nothing. She was also having hard time breathing because of the cloth that covered her mouth and reached until her nose. Thankfully, Kanata stirred slowly opening his eyes which then focused on Miyu's. "W-what hap-happened?" He asked but obviously, Miyu couldn't reply since her mouth was covered. She just shook her head at him. "oh... let me help you with that." He sat up but figured he couldn't do anything as well since his hands were all tied-up. He sat there for some minutes until an idea struck him. He moved behind Miyu and told her that he'll try to untie the rope.
He reached for her hand and tried to find the knot. It took him 30 minutes before he finally untied it. After that, Miyu removed the cloth from her mouth and reached for Kanata's rope. Soon, the two were free.
"I wonder why they aren't looking for us yet" Miyu looked at the window and noticed that it was already night time. "Probably those personnel or if they really are, told our teachers some excuse."
"What'll happen to us?" Miyu held a very concerned expression for their situation. Kanata just stared at her holding the same expression for her. "How about if they won't know about this? And those jerks will put up some excuse and make them believe it. Then they'll leave us here. Then what'll happen after that? They'll let us stay here until we die?"
Kanata never saw Miyu like this before. She was like a scared child who doesn't have someone to guarantee that everything will be alright. So he did what he thought is right. He hugged her and assured her that he won't let anything happen to her.
"They're sleeping already?"
"Yes sir, they spoke to me awhile ago and don't worry, we've brought foods for them"
"Hey Aya look at this." Santa was looking through a small circular window. "Hey, what is a window doing here?"
"Hey look at those, aren't those guns?" Nanami pointed. Aya and Santa gasped at the number of guns inside. "Something's really fishy out here."
"come on, we've got to find out what's at the end of this."
Kanata sat there staring at the sleeping Miyu leaning against him. She fell asleep awhile ago when she was in Kanata's arms. He placed his hand gently on her cheeks... He stared at her then shook his face. "I'm falling in love with a bird? This is crazy..." He jumped in surprise when what they thought was a wall suddenly opened. There were three people coughing out...
"Guys?"
"Lookey! It's Kanata and Miyu! Hey what are you two doing here all alone!"
"Quit it Santa, those men locked us in."
"Men?" Aya asked wondering what he was talking about. "Yeah, the so-called personnel of this place."
"I told you Aya, those people are frauds!" Nanami exclaimed excited. "Yeah, yeah , yeah.. But if they are, where are the real ones?"
"We have to get out of here before that." Kanata said waking Miyu up. "Huh? Wh- what? What are you guys doing here?" Miyu rubbed her eyes focusing it to the three. "We don't know...---"
"Hey! The door's open!" Miyu and Kanata looked at it bluntly. "You didn't try opening the door?" The two just shook their head. "Alright, let's go."
"Ms. Mizuki, they're sleeping, as simple as that."
"You believed him? Tenchi, and Konishi's sleeping too?" Miyu and Kanata's room were very dark and when they came to their beds, it was empty.
"Hey you hear something?" Nanami asked stopping in front of a door.
"Hear what?" Silence pursued in and some moans and groans replaced it. All of them blushed at the thought but dismissed it. Santa peeked in and saw people inside. "Guys! I think I found the real people! Look!"
They all gasped seeing people in blindfolds and they were all tied as well; some were struggling to get free. They entered the dark room and removed the ties from them. "Thank goodness... we've been at this awful place for weeks."
"Who are you?"
"We're all workers in this place... until those terrorists attacked us and owned this place to themselves."
"Terrorists?"
"Aaaaaaaahhh!" Aya and Nanami shouted as they saw a man opening the door.
"It's Konishi and Tenchi!" Ms. Mizuki said as they ran towards the stairs. "Are you sure that's them?"
"Of course I am, they're my students and you're their homeroom teacher!" Ms. Mizuki ran towards the stairs even before Mr. Anju could stop her. "Hey! I'm coming with you."
Everyone sat there in silence as they stared at the man in terror. He was pointing a gun towards them, threatening them that if they move a single bone, all of them will die. Unfortunately for him, he didn't notice Miyu behind him who was holding a wood on one hand and smashed it into his head. Then again, unfortunate for Miyu, she didn't notice another man who aimed his gun at her and fired, she closed her eyes shut and waited for the bullet to come across her but nothing came though she heard a loud impact in front of her.
"Kanata!" She shook Kanata's body violently as Kanata whined in pain. Miyu somehow noticed that he really wasn't shot. She then let herself hide her face on his body. "Oh for the love of God please don't take him away from me!" Miyu observed one of the armed man from the corner of her eyes. "How do you expect me to live without you? you promised never to leave meeee!" She said as she pretended to cry to make everything real. She saw that the man scurried away and got. "Hey dog! you could wake up now." Kanata stirred but didn't wake up. "Hey! What are you playing dead? Come on! Dog's aren't supposed to do that." Still, he wasn't waking up. Miyu started getting worried and held his face.
"Hey... wake up" Her voice was getting softer. She then slapped grabbed his hair and pulled it hard. "Aahh---" Kanata exclaimed after what Miyu did and quickly got up and met Miyu's lips... accidentally. Both eyes went wide as their lips met each other.
"You pervert!" with that, Miyu stormed away and left all the others inside. "Hey Miyu wait. Come on guys!" He motioned for the others to follow them.
"Hey, what do you think is this? A control panel?" Santa pointed at something in a far distance of the room. Nanami went beside him and leaned on something but that something pushed itself down. "Maybe?" They all stared at the monitor that started by itself. "Hey that's interesting, aren't those people the terrorists?"
"Miyu wait up! That was an accident"
"Yeah right! And your pretend faint was an accident?
"No, I was really having a hard time getting up."
"oh right! And you expect me to believe that?"
"yes" Suddenly, they heard people running towards their direction and minutes later, they came face to face with those people. All of them were aiming their guns at them.
"Hey! Lookey there! Its Miyu and Kanata and the others!"
"Yeah dumby, and they're in danger—hey Aya, this is no time for using that as a keyboard!"
"look"
Everyone screamed and ran when the ceiling started to collapse. Miyu's reaction time was slow that's why she didn't noticed the rock about to hit her. "Miyu!" Kanata grabbed her in time and the two fell backwards.
"Are you really dense? Or are you trying to kill yourself?"
"Look" Miyu held onto Kanata's shirt as she pointed her finger towards the other men under the mass of ceiling and dust.
"No Miyu, they're the bad guys."
"If they're the bad guys... then why aren't you with them?" Kanata smacked Miyu on the head. "You want me to bury you in there?"
"You want us to bury the two of you in there?" Aya stood there, paper in hand. While Nanami and Santa was jumping in victory.
"What happened here?" Ms. Mizuki and their prof. appeared right before the scene and almost fainted at the mere sight of it. "We missed it?"
"It's your fault Mr. Anju! I told you they weren't ghosts! We came all the way here for an hour and looked like complete idiots!"
Both Miyu and Kanata yawned at the same time and leaned at each other. "I hate Okinawa."
"You were just telling how you loved it you bird."
"I hate you!"
Good grief! Finally! I'm through with this! I want to apologize to you guys for having to put something like this. It's really crazy, I know and I'm not hoping to get any reviews on this. But just bear with it anyways, my mind's a little messed up right now and so does this chapter.
