Chapter 2: First Moves!
She heard him, he said just as you are… after she said that the moon was beautiful. She was quite sure she heard him say that after her phrase, but she wanted to hear it again, to be very, very, very sure...
"N-n-nani?" she asked.
He met her eyes.
"I said… the moon's round just as you're head is." He smiled. Miyu's heart was beating fast, and her face was turning red. She thought he actually appreciated her beauty, but she was wrong.
"Just like a basketball." He added as he stared at the moon once more which made Miyu punch him on his face. She hit him badly that the wooden floor almost cracked.
"What kind of human are you! NUMB!" she yelled. Kanata slowly got up, wiping the blood from his' nose.
"Numb? Who's numb?" he asked as he sat down. Miyu didn't respond. Her face was devil red indicating that she was really angry.
"Ah, forget it!" she exclaimed when she finally found her voice and stood up – to leave. She was to have her first step – when Kanata, held on her hand which made her stop and look down at him, whose eyes were fixed on her.
"Kanata-kun…" she murmured.
"Gomen."
She was stunned, and her red face came back to normal and two small pinks were visible on her cheeks. Kanata let her go and stood up, too.
"After classes…" Kanata sighed. "would you mind having tea with me?"
Of course, Miyu was barely surprised and she wanted to! But instead, she pretended not to be interested on his' invitation.
"Um, our club will have a meeting tomorrow, after classes, so – I won't be able to have tea with you." She said smiling.
He looked disappointed.
"Don't worry! I'll have tea with you – um… tomorrow! When I get home!" she tried to please him. But he just looked up, sighed and stared at her.
"It's alright. Good night, Miyu-chan." He said as he walked away.
What's goin' in his' mind? He's actually getting weirder and weirder these past few days… Miyu thought.
Next Day
It was lunch time, and Miyu was accompanying Kanata to the student council's meeting. Kanata didn't speak to her as they walked through the corridors, and she was used to it. But, there's something wrong in the direction, they were not going to the student council's office… somewhere else.
"Oi! Kanata-kun! Miyu-chan!" Santa exclaimed as he ran towards Kanata and Miyu.
"Good afternoon, Santa-kun…" Miyu greeted.
"Good afternoon, Miyu-chan!" Santa looked really happy today. But Kanata – he looked so… depressed this morning that he didn't even smile at the Merry Santa. Kanata just turned his back, and waved his' hand lazily.
"I need to go…"
The two just watched him leave.
"Miyu-chan… Is Kanata-kun feeling unwell today?" Santa whispered.
Miyu thought for a moment.
"Miyu-chan…"
"I think his' fine; it's just that… he's getting weird these past days…"
There was a long pause until Santa snapped…
"Oh… maybe he's gettin' interested with you, Miyu-chan!"
It flattered Miyu.
"I-impossible, Santa-kun…" she demanded.
"Well, it's not impossible for a guy to get attracted to a girl he always sees every hour, every minute, every day and lives with him in a temple! It's possible he'll like you!" Santa happily exclaimed. Good thing no one was on the corridors – No one heard him. She thought, but she was wrong. Chris was outside the window. She peek her eyes with such yellow sparks and her face can't be drawn! She was blazing!
"What did you say Santa-chan?" she groan….
Santa was now white and was sweating a lot! He hid himself behind Miyu thinking she was good enough to be a shield.
"It's very impossible for MY Kanata to be attracted to her…" she said angrily. She was about to make a step forward when a hand stopped her, holding her elbow.
It was Kanata.
"Kanata-kun…" She whispered as she turned her head to see him. She immediately shook her head and turned to a pleasant, happy looking Chris-chan.
"Chris-chan… Is there any problem?" Kanata said as he removed his' hand.
Miyu and Santa were stepping backward.
"No – nothing, Kanata-kun." She had her cheeks painted with pink as she gazed up to him. Kanata noticed her looks, and got too frightened of it. He politely walked away and went to Miyu who was just almost two meter away with Santa beside her.
Kanata took her hand – held on it tightly.
Chris-chan was shocked. Santa was stunned. Miyu stood still.
"We need to go, Santa-chan, would you mind accompanying Chris-chan for me?" Kanata looked at Santa, smiled and dragged Miyu with him as he held tighter on her hand.
Miyu's feet began to walk to where Kanata went. He didn't let go. Chris-chan and Santa were watching as they turned right and went out of sight.
Santa came back to his' senses and saw Chris-chan still staring to the direction where they went. He slowly stepped away taking the advantage of Chris-chan's bewilderment.
But it seemed his' luck ran out.
Chris' hand was already holding his' collar, and when he looked back… She was blazing, her eyes sparking again but this' time much angrier!
"Santa-chan…" she grinned. "wh –"
Nanamie came from nowhere.
"Ei! Santa-kun! Have you seen –" she stared at the scene. Chris-chan dropped Santa on the floor as she dusted her skirt.
"Hello." Chris-chan greeted as she walked away.
Weird… Nanamie thought. She then ran to Santa-chan who was helping himself up.
Meanwhile… Where did Kanata and Miyu go?
