Sorry it took so long to update...no excuses, nope, none at all.
Anyway, thanks to the people who reviewed, you don't know how much it means to me.
Once again, I don't own Pretear, I only own Mikino, her family and other unfamiliar characters.
Enjoy!
(Oh yeah, I don't keep track of the days...so let's say it's a school morning XD)
'Oh, I forgot...school,'
Mikino thought as she sat up from her comfortable bed, and headed straight into the bathroom. While in there, she took a shower and brushed her teeth, after that, she put on her school uniform, put her hair into a loose ponytail, and headed down the steps with her brown book bag in her hands.
"Morning," she said as sat down at the breakfast table, on the left of Rio, while her mother was on the other side along with Hio. She began to dig into her small bowl of cereal when her mother suddenly broke the silence.
"I got a call from your father...he said he's finally coming back today," Mikino's mother said, causing Hio, and Rio's faces to light up with excitement. Mikino kept her regular look as she continued to eat her breakfast.
"Aren't you excited Mikino...dad's finally coming home, it's been over a year!" Hio yelled with a delighted face, she and her father had gotten along so well. Mikino sighed and excused her self from the table.
"I have...to go to school, bye," she said as she pushed her chair under the table, and left the house.
'Why should I be happy that my father is coming back home? Even as a child, he was always too busy to play with me, including Rio and Hio. They act as though he was always there...'
Mikino's face went into a small frown as she kept walking to school.
Flashback
"Daddy, can you play?" a 5 year old version of Mikino questioned her father as he quickly ruffled her short hair while walking pass her.
"No, no, not now Mikino, I'm busy," he said as he sat down at the desk, located in Mikino's room. She sat herself down on the bed and watched him write, and make calls on the phone.
Even after he was finished with that, Mikino still asked 'can you play?' and still received the same answer 'no' or 'later on'.
End
"But still, I don't hate him...just not too thrilled about him coming back," she arrived at school, and entered the building...to see the hallway was empty.
"Late!" Mikino yelled while running down the hall, and stopping at her door.
'Man, my teachers gonna give me extra detention' she entered her classroom slowly, and interrupted the lesson.
"Did you hear?!" a group of girls clustered in front of a tree. Mikino and Himeno exited the school and spotted them, Mikino didn't have detention...and she was glad the school day was over.
"Let's go be nosey," Himeno whispered to her, Mikino giggled and nodded in agreement. They scooted over to them, and stood listening.
"I heard...that there's this new hot exchange student...and that any girl that looks at him...well, they daze off," the others girls gasped in shock, along with Himeno and Mikino.
"Eh, I'd love to be nosey and hear this...but I have to go Himeno," Mikino said with a smile on her face, when Mikino looked next to her, she was expecting Himeno, but she was too caught up in the conversation.
'Whoa'
Mikino thought with a nervous laugh, she walked off from Himeno and proceeded on her way home.
'Hmm, I didn't see Hayate today at all...I wonder if he and the others are ok'
Mikino was so deep in her thoughts, that she didn't notice that someone was walking in the same direction as her; just as dazed as she was.
"Ow," Mikino said as she bumped into the person and landed on her face. It was weird how mostly everyone who bumped into someone landed on their back, or butt...but not Mikino...nope. She had to land on her face, it was apart of her clumsiness.
"Sorry," the unfamiliar voice said as Mikino pushed her self off the ground and stood up while dusting off her skirt.
"It's ok," she said as she stared up at the boy she had bumped in to, he had beautiful bluish green eyes, and long silver hair, pretty much hot...but Mikino was not temped, no, no, she was sticking with Hayate.
'Wow, he's almost as cute as Hayate'
She thought while he smiled at her.
"Um, my name is Tayako,"
"Mikino," she said.
"Well, I have to uh...go," Mikino bowed a little and walked off, not giving a second glance at Tayako. He smiled, and kept walking in the same direction that he was before.
-------------------------
'I wonder if...he's here yet'
She stopped in front of the door of her house, and held the knob while slowing turning it, when she opened the door; Hayate was there to greet her. She stumbled back a little, almost falling.
"Hay-Hayate?" she asked not expecting him to be there.
"Yeah, I came here...earlier, looking for you," he said while looking away with a small hint of blush on his face.
"Oh, um...I'm here," she said.
Hayate wanted to find out more about Mikino, all they ever did was train. He wanted to know her likes, dislikes, and what she liked to do. You would probably call it a... small attraction...
"Let's take a walk," he said walking pass her, it sounded more like a command than a question, but Mikino followed anyway. They walked in silence, as Mikino twirled her book bag around.
'Ok...now to find out more about her...questions work. ONLY because she's a Pretear, a Leafe Knight and a Pretear, must work together...'
Hayate thought. He continued to doubt everything, Mikino, and how she felt about him. He had already known, but she wasn't nervous or shy like other girls would be when they admitted to their feelings...she was normal.
"What's you're favorite color?" Hayate asked out of the blue.
'I bet she's gonna say pink or something...most girls like it'
"Blue!" she said childishly while pointing at the sky, he was a little surprised at her reaction, and answer.
"What about you? What's yours?" she asked while smiling at Hayate.
"Oh, uh, I don't have a favorite..." he said while avoiding eye contact with her, she made him feel...soft?
"You kn-" she stopped talking and let out a small disappointed sigh.
"I forgot..." she said to herself aloud.
"What?" Hayate asked confused.
"My...father is coming back today..." she said forcing a smile.
"For some reason...I'm not happy. When some people's fathers come back, and they haven't seen them in a long time...they're usually happy, but for me...it's a different case," Mikino turned to leave, but Hayate grabbed her wrist.
'Why...did I stop her? Never mind'
"Well, if you don't want to see him, continue to walk with me, and go home later," Mikino smiled while glomping Hayate.
"Hey, get off," he said as she let go and smiled happily.
"Ok!"
A While Later
"Look," Mikino pointed to the moon, which was whole and beautiful.
Hayate and Mikino had been out for about 2 hours. They were talking, and knew more about each other... 'In a friendly way' Hayate would say. They were now sitting down on a bench, that was located in the center of the park, and there was a clearing where the moon could be seen.
"Eh, it's pretty late, I could fly you-"
"No, I'm okay, it could be apart of training. I'll run home, it's like a 10 minute walk," Mikino stood up and began to jog in place as Hayate smirked.
"Well, see you later!" Mikino ran off quickly, knowing her family would be worried.
"Where were you?" Mikino's mother asked with a concerned face.
"You're father is in the living room, please, don't be too harsh," her mother knew that her relationship with her father wasn't a good bond. So she wanted to remind Mikino not to be too cold.
"Um, I'm...tired. Can't I talk to him tomorrow?" Mikino pleaded with her mother, who let out a sigh.
"Fine," she said with a smile as she was hugged by Mikino who quickly ran up the steps.
She took a shower, brushed her hair, and put on her pajamas. She hadn't received any homework, and she was as tired as she said before. She jumped into her bed, and stared at the ceiling in thought.
'We talked a lot...so I guess he knows how I feel. He's not as tough as he seems, he's really nice too. Okay, promise time! Tomorrow, I'll have to...zzzzz'
Mikino's thoughts were cut off when she drifted off into a deep sleep.
He, he, not the best story, but I hope you liked this part .
The others will also be in the other parts too, so Goh, Sasame etc..including Himeno
Oh, and I was wondering...about Mikino and Hayate kissing. XD
