When Love and Hate collide 14

I just wanted to thank those people who aren'tt getting tired of sending their reviews for my story. Thanks a lot. God bless.

Christmas without you (part II)

Miyu sat by her window with a background of falling snow. She was staring at the keychain that Kanata gave; thinking that it was him somehow delighted her.

"I wouldn't be miserable as I am right now if only you've admitted that you're sorry. Why is your pride so hard to deal with huh?" She asked though she knew it wouldn't answer her back. It was just like looking back at her... with a smile on its face.

"Oh, you're smiling now. That's nice. So tell me you dog, why haven't you even thought about saying goodbye or even telling me something about where you'll be going." She tilted her head as she just stared at the miniature boy in the keychain. "Oh, I forgot... who am I as for you to tell about your whereabouts anyway? I'm right, am I? Or maybe you're too tired of showing your dog face around that's why you decided to run away and follow the Frisbee that I've thrown so far away... with my heart." She whispered, swinging the small thing back and forth. "Hope you don't go too far... because I bet that my heart won't go that far." Miyu removed her gaze from the thing and stared outside, at the snowy heiomachi.

"I'm really stupid... why would I talk to a dog-look alike like you!"

"stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" She squeezed the toy and was about to throw it when...

"I love you!"

Miyu's eyes grew wide after hearing the toy talk. She stared at it again and pressed it. "I love you" It again muttered. Tears started forming at the corner of Miyu's eyes as she smiled at the toy in front of her. Although it wasn't just a toy who talks... she knew that it was Kanata who wanted to say those words which he would say after 5 million years.

"I'm sorry to tell you this Mr. Saionji but your son is... in a coma right now and neither anyone of us could tell if there's a chance of recovery." Hosho wasn't listening to what the doctor was saying as he paid attention to the ground like he didn't care at all.

"Its Christmas today... and it's his birthday too. How come something like this had happened? Why to him? Why on this day?" Akira placed a hand on his shoulder as the doctor walked away feeling bad for what happened to Kanata.

"This was supposed to be his best Christmas as he was to fly back to Japan... where he wants but how could something like this happen? Have he become too cold for his happiness to be deprived of?"

Miyu stretched out her hands feeling like she was ready for the world again.

"Hey Miyu! You know what... you're having these mood swings lately. You sure you're not... pregnant?" Nanami mocked and the usual Miyu would've already done something horrid to her but she didn't. She just gave them a very huge smile and started walking. At this, Nanami and Aya had to look at her weirdly. "And now she's smiling?"

"Hey Miyu wait up!" Both girls chorused as they followed Miyu. "So tell us, did your parents send you a very special gift that made your morning special?" Nanami started walking hand in hand with Miyu and Aya.

"Well, they did send me one but that's not fully it." A great idea splashed through Aya's head and this, she whispered to Nanami. Nanami made a huge smile and started shouting. "Oh... prince charming sent you one! Totally, that is so sweet"

"Uh-huh... I never expected Christmas to be this better."

"Aw... and our poor Miyu was just crying on her heels on Christmas eve." Aya and Nanami chorused an 'Aw' which then annoyed Miyu. "Alright, that was a little dramatic. But will you just let is slip through?" The two hadn't got a word leaving their mouths as they just smiled flatly at Miyu.

Inside a room that's been painted in white lay a sleeping soul whose heart just opened but a love that has yet to wait. Cherry petals lay on the table... the continuous beeping of his life line surrounded a pale figure, with eyes closed and an immobile body. His hair was in a neat brown mess and his lips... formed into an unimaginable smile that seemed to waver as time passes by. Christmas was right outside his window and yet, he wouldn't have felt it that moment.

And in a reflection of a mirror stood a girl with a look of longing in her eyes and with a hope in her heart. She stood there and watched as the snow rains through the place. She was happy but something inside her wasn't and she didn't know why. She wished she knew but the snow makes a very vague hint of what she wanted. Christmas was nearly over and a few couple of days after that, school will then again start but would abruptly come to an end as graduation steps in.

'Maybe Kanata would be back before then' She thought to herself thinking that it was impossible for Kanata to miss graduation. Suddenly, her phone rang, disturbing her thoughts.

"Hello?"

"Miyu... Its me, Seiya. Merry Christmas for the last time?"

"Oh, Seiya... Merry Christmas too... so what's up?" Miyu accepted Seiya as a friend and she was having that comfortable feeling around him again which makes it okay. "I just want to take you with me."

"Take me where?"

"You'll see... and don't worry, it's not a date. It's not far; actually, it's within Heiomachi so no worries alright. I'll be there by 8." With that, he hung up which left Miyu wondering.

Miyu went down and there she saw Seiya having a conversation with Mr. Lun. "Seiya!" She called out catching Seiya's attention. Both Seiya and Mr. Lun greeted her.

"Seriously, where is this place you are talking about?"

"You never change do you?" Miyu gave a look of annoyance and kept all words to herself as she stayed side by side with Seiya. After a few minutes of walking, the two arrived in front of a number of stairs. "Wow... is this some kind of an exercise?"

"Nope... it's more than that actually. Come on" Seiya started ascending up the stairs with Miyu behind him. After 31 more steps, they came face to face with a temple. The temple seemed deserted at first look but it wasn't. It's just that this time wasn't the right time to be in this place.

"You know, I never knew that I'll be coming back to this place." Seiya started as he placed his hands inside his pockets. He started walking towards it then sat on one of the temple's stairs with Miyu beside him. "I got surprised the moment I've found out that you were here in Heiomachi."

"You... you knew this place?"

"Yep... to tell you the truth, this is the place where I grew up and this temple witnessed those times. This was the place I've never wanted to leave... this was my home. My father and the keeper of this temple were very good friends and so was I with his son." Miyu stared at Seiya thinking that it was Kanata who's talking and sitting there with her. She remembered the time where Kanata shared his childhood experience. He wasn't the type who'll be doing that sharing every now and then that's why she was very happy that moment.

"What happened? Why did you leave this place?"

"You know my parents... and they're the reason why. Since the time that I left this place, I haven't got the chance to bring with me its memories." Silence took place after that. Miyu looked at the temple and felt something within it. It's like she knows this place only that she had never been here before.

After the reminiscing, Seiya and Miyu went over at the carnival to enjoy the last hours of Christmas. The place was all packed up since yesterday. They strolled along the small shops and played some games. Finally, after two hours, the two decided to retire and sit on one of the benches. Seiya offered to buy some food leaving Miyu in there all by herself.

Unfortunately for Miyu, the lake in front of her was the same lake at the fare. Lovers were in it, enjoying the romantic air while some just enjoyed each other's presence. The moment she shared with Kanata in that boat was something she wouldn't dare forget. Most of the times they've shared were like watching a cat and dog. They never get along, but that's the story of how she fell in love.

I don' wanna fight no more, I don't know what we're fighting for

When we treat each other baby, like an act of war.

I could tell a million lies and it would come as no surprise

When the truth is like a stranger, hits you right between the eyes.

Unknown to Miyu, Seiya has been watching her for some time now and it was evident how sad she was at the moment. Seiya decided to just stand in there and stare at her. He sighed and smiled painfully to himself knowing that his feelings never changed throughout the time they've gone their separate ways.

Miyu didn't cry this time but she can't help but feel that something was wrong and she don't have a single idea as to what was that. Sighing, she stared back at the lake.

Without you one night alone, Is like a year without you baby

Do you have a heart of stone?

Without you

Can't stop the hurt inside

When love and hate collide

"Hey Miyu! Time to go."
