Chapter 4
Flashback
"Where am I?" Miyu mumbled as she opened her eyes. She saw she was in a beautifully decorated room. She feels like a princess in a dream.
"Where am I?"
-End-
"You're in the inn… couldn't you remember?" a voice said.
Miyu got scared because she thought it might be some bad guy or a monster. This is the effect of watching too many movies… tsk...tsk…
But when this person shows his face, he doesn't look like a bad guy or a monster. In fact, he's cute and he looks athletic. "Aren't you Kara?" he asked. Miyu shook her head in disapproval. "I am Miyu…" she said. "I swear… it's you Kara… you just dyed your hair blond" he defended.
"Who are you?" she asked. "I am Miko… the owner of this inn" he said in reply.
Miyu gasped. "So… you're Keikyoku-san's son… the one in the picture" she said.
"So… I think you're really not Kara. But… how did you know my mother?" he asked. Miyu told the story and after telling him about it, he asked if his mother was fine. Miyu nodded. "She was going to head to this inn because she wants to see you. She misses you very much. She always compares you and Kara with Kanata and me," Miyu said "The problem is… I don't know where they are. Maybe they're worrying about me… and I want to see Ruu very much with them of course."
Tears began to form on her eyes. Miko stood up and extended his arm towards her (as if trying to give her a hand). "Let's find them… I want to meet my mother once more because I miss her and Ruu and this Kanata-person is really important to you, aren't they?" he said.
"H-how did you know?" she asked, a little embarrassed.
"Let's say… I can sense your feelings… I had the same feelings with Kara. I want to see her again. I think mom told you the story…" he said quite shyly. Miyu giggled because his face was cute when he's embarrassed, just like Kanata.
"Okay! Let's find them…" Miyu said and held his hand. She stood up from the bed and readied herself.
"So… where shall we start?" she asked.
Tick-tock-tick-tock… GONG!
"I don't know" Miko answered nonchalantly.
Miyu gave out a dark depressed aura and exclaimed, "You're impossible!"
"Okay… let's start looking for them in the woods behind this inn" he said because he was afraid that he'll be influenced by her negative vibes.
Miyu gave a nod and so they began searching. Meanwhile, on Kanata's side of the story, they're still trying to find their lost companion. "Where the heck have you been Miyu?" Kanata muttered under his breath.
He nearly fell of the cliff because he was worrying too much. If it weren't for someone who held his hand, he would have fallen on that rocky landscape. The person helped him get back. This person had indigo-colored hair tied in a ponytail and grayish eyes. She has a body of an athlete, fair and flawless skin… in short, she's beautiful.
He thanked her for saving him. He looked at her and saw that she was looking at him observantly. When she noticed it herself, she apologized for her action. "You look like the person I was looking for…" she said with a smile.
"Who are you looking for anyway?" he asked.
"A dear friend…" she said in an emotional way, "he may not remember me anymore because I have changed so much."
There was silence. He looked at her once more. "What are you doing in the middle of nowhere?" he asked.
"Oh… that…" she said, "I don't know…"
'What kind of person is she? Pretty much like Miyu. ' he said to himself.
"Oh well… if I was not here you would be dead by now, ne?" she said. Kanata just nodded.
"So what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I was looking for my companion. She's lost…" he answered.
"What is your name, by the way?" she asked.
"Kanata" he replied.
"I'm Kara…" she introduced. Suddenly, Kanata remembered the person in the picture that Miyu saw. 'Isn't she…'
Suddenly, Keikyoku appeared out of nowhere and Kanata's thoughts were interrupted. She was surprised to see the woman who rescued Kanata. When Kara turned to the direction where Keikyoku was, she went to her and hugged her. "Kei-obasan! I missed you so much!" she uttered. "Kara? Is that you? You've grown up very well." Keikyoku said. The usual drama… talking about the past, yada yada… then, Kanata interrupts, "Anou… sorry to break your talk but we need to find Miyu."
"Boy, you're really worried about that girl, aren't you?" Keikyoku said in a rather teasing voice. Kanata, with embarrassment traced on his face, said, "Of course… I'm responsible to what might happen to that girl… Not that I
like her or anything…" His voice faded in the last phrases of the sentence. The two ladies looked at him, then, looked at each other. "He likes that girl, doesn't he?" Kara asked in a whispering voice. "Looks like it…" Keikyoku answered in the same fashion and they continued talking like that. 'Tsk… why are they whispering when there is nothing to whisper about?' he asked himself. "Okay… I'll help too," Kara offered.
They searched for her in the lush green forest. Meanwhile, Miyu and Miko stayed together and searched. "Why won't we just split up?" Miko asked the blonde teenager. "I don't know this place so you need to be with me so I won't get lost…" she replied. Miyu was thinking deep, 'What if I never get to see Ruu… or even Kanata… no the worst part is what if we cannot go back to Earth anymore?' She tried to imagine what her life would be in Planet Otto.
Because she was lost in her own imagination, she forgot to look where she's heading. "Wait a minute! Miyu--"
Too late, she fell from a slope and accidentally landed on someone. Miyu noticed that she was lying on top of someone so she changed her position. To her surprise, she saw one of the people she is looking for -- Kanata. He tried to rise. He removed the dust from his pants and helped Miyu stand up. As Kanata helped her stand up, she tried to rise and when she regained her posture, she involuntarily hugged the boy. Kanata felt embarrassed. "Thank God you're still alive! I thought…" Miyu exclaimed but her speech was cut when she noticed her action. She unlocks her arms from his body and apologized for her actions. He noticed she has light abrasions caused by her slide and realized that he has a bump on his head. "Are you OK?" he asked. Miyu just nodded. They were quiet. "You know…" Kanata started, "I was worried about you." Miyu's cheeks flushed. Those words were rare in Kanata's dictionary. "I thought I would never see you again…" Miyu added, still a little embarrassed. "And I just wonder what if we're stuck here forever?"
"Maybe you would end up marrying an alien like Wannya…" he answered, half laughing. She was about to get mad but she just suppressed her anger. Then came Miko and asked the teenagers "Are you two alright?" They answered with an approving nod.
Then Keikyoku and Kara arrived in the scene. As Kara saw the man, she realized it was her friend/enemy back when she was about Miyu and Kanata's age. "Are you… Miko?" she asked.
"Kara?"
"Miko!"
"Miko…" Keikyoku uttered.
"Mom…"
The three of them hugged each other. "Wow… a reunion… Isn't it nice?" Miyu said as she watched the threesome. "Yeah…" Kanata said, "I wish that we could also see Ruu."
"I think we better get out of the forest before it gets dark." Miko said.
Miko lead the way. After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the inn.
"You can stay here for the night… I won't charge you for anything…" Miko said with a smile on his face.
"Free, you say…Isn't it wonderful to be alive?" Kara joyfully uttered.
"Uh… son, why are you not charging us?" Keikyoku asked in suspicion. "Uh…well… I just want to make Kara happy… and of course, you're my mom and you brought earthlings here…" he answered.
Good thing for Miko, Kara interrupted. "Kei-obasan, you don't need to ask. Let's just thank him for the free accommodation."
Kanata and Miyu just stood there, looking at the crazy trio.
"Alright… we're going to treat you a full course dinner!" Miko announced. They went to the restaurant beside the inn. They ate and after that they strolled the lakeside. Keikyoku excused herself because she is feeling a little unwell. Miyu also excused herself and dragged Kanata with her. They immediately hid behind a large rock. Kara and Miko shared a look.
"What the hell got on your mind?" Kanata scowled as they hid.
She hushed him and said in a whisper, "Can't you see? Are you stupid? Keikyoku-san wanted them left alone so they can talk… You know their feelings for each other, right?"
Kanata took a deep breath and exhaled. "I get it… but why do we need to hide behind this rock?" he asked.
"Shhh! Lower your voice… they might notice we're spying." Miyu said in a low volume.
Kanata just nodded. "Fine. Have it your way but don't involve me in this business again, okay?" he said, keeping his voice down. But Miyu paid attention to the targets…
Back to Miko and Kara…
"Uh… Kara…" Miko said.
Kara looked at Miko's direction. "Hn?"
"Uhm…anou… I… do you remember the thing I said to you before you left?" Miko asked shyly.
"Yeah… you said 'jackass'…" Kara said with a plain look.
"No not that idiot…"
"Ah… that we'll meet again because you're gonna tell me something, right?"
"Yeah… and about that…"
"You're gonna tell me right now?"
He nodded. He cleared his throat and said, "It's really complex… and…"
"C'mon… Get to the main point… I still have loads of stuff to tell you" she said.
She was shocked when she felt his lips touch hers. She was unable to respond. When he ended the kiss, Kara was paralyzed. "That kiss contained the mountain of words I was about to say to you…" he explained with embarrassment. Kara stood still, a tear trickled. "I'm sorry if…" his apology was cut by her sudden speech.
"I was a fool that I didn't tell you what I felt before… I still feel the same way though. But I think now, my feelings burn more than it was before. I feel sorry for myself, not being able to tell this to you and keeping it to myself. I love you… since I first met you… Although I thought you were a pervert at first."
Miko's anger began to spark but Kara laughed at him… and it ended with both of them laughing.
While Miyu watched the two, Kara's last phrase struck her. "Ne, Kanata, isn't this familiar?"
"Yeah… if my oyaji told me in the first place…"
Miyu looked at him. 'Sigh… can't he even read hints? For an intelligent guy, he's quite stupid. But I can't say it to him directly…' When she realized what she was thinking, she was blushing intensely. "Now what is up with you?" Kanata asked, quite annoyed. "Oh nothing… don't mind me," she said, laughing forcibly, trying to ease herself. "Geez…" he uttered.
She heaved a sigh and watched the two again, but the two is nowhere to be seen. Kanata tried to look for them without exposing himself. "Where'd they go?" he whispered.
"Looking for us?" Kara asked from behind their backs.
The two nervously stayed in their positions. Miyu and Kanata were sweating. 'Oh no… they found us' Miyu thought. 'I'm never gonna listen to Miyu when it comes to this kind of things.' Kanata thought as he slowly faced the pair. They both showed a nervous smile. 'What's worst is…their aliens. No… I mean we're aliens. Ugh! Who cares… To make things clearer, they're different from us. We're not from the same planet.' Miyu said to herself. Kara and Miko had serious looks on their faces. The teens stared at the adults' faces. In the end, they all laughed.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect you would do this. Especially you Kanata…"Kara said.
"I'm just forced, y'know" Kanata opposed stubbornly.
"C'mon. I know you also wanted to know what would happen." Miyu teased her housemate.
"Shut up!" he exclaimed, embarrassed.
They went back to the inn and went to their respective rooms. They all slept as soon as they lay down on their beds—except Miyu.
Why do you think Miyu can't sleep? Come to think of it, even I don't know why. I know I'm the writer but I can't think why she can't sleep.
Ah… I've updated at last… :) I really can't think clearly. Oh well… watch out for the next chapter.
