Chapter 3

- the pending white day -

.

.

Town of Heiomachi, afternoon. Sakura Gakuen, the Sakura gathering, school's hall.

.

"Oh, I can't believe myself. Why I'm even here now…"

.

"Come on Miyu, stop grumbling."
said Nanami to her grumbling blonde friend.

.

The three girls were attend the Sakura gathering.
They are Aya, Nanami and Miyu.

.

Aya wear a semi-formal black dress that end on her knee,
Nanami wear a turtleneck long red dress.
While Miyu wear a blue plain short dress with flowers ornament
( a/n : sorry for the lack dress describe )

.

"Yeah, let's just have some fun. Oh, there's a couple, I must check it out. See you later guys!"
Aya has gone for another story.

.

"Sigh, she always like that."
Nanami sighed to her rushed friend.

.

"Nanami-chan, I think I'll just go home."

.

"What? Now? We're not having any fun yet."
Nanami raised her tone at once.

.

"Hey, I think I just heard Nanami's voice from here."
said a black haired boy.

.

"Huh?"
Nanami look at that boy,
"Santa!"

.

"Hi there! Hey, is that you Miyu-chan?"
asked Santa not believe his eyes.

.

"Yeah, it's me Santa. How have you been?"
Miyu greeted her old friend.

.

You can say they were an old friend because they never meet again after graduated from junior high.
It's just because Miyu never come to any gathering.

.

"Miyu…"
Miyu was stuned as she heard his voice.

.

The voice that she missed so much.
Then she look at the owner of that voice.

.

"Kanata…"
she gasped.

.

There, standing in front her a brunette haired boy with his amber eyes, look straight into her emerald eyes.

.

Then silence overcome them.
They see the past days at the other eyes,
days that they spend together,
days they become earth parent for baby Ruu,
the days that they missed so much…

.

There, the blonde girl and the brunette boy just stand in the silence,
while another boys and girls get their couple.

.

"Okay, it seems that everyone has got couple right?"
the announcer voice bring the two of them back to reality.

.

They look around and found that everyone was become couples.
Their friends also had their own couple.
Aya with a good looking boy ( I think she try to get that boy for her next play ),
while Nanami with an atheletic boy ( perhaps, boy of her dream )
and Santa with a cute girl. ( don't even know how he can get her ^^ )

.

They look to each other again, it seems that they had a same thought.
Since everyone else already got their own couple,
that mean they MUST become a couple,
even if they don't want to.

.

"Let's start the dance!"
as the announcement to start the dance declared, the music begin.

.

All of the couples dance except one.
Miyu and Kanata still standing there, looked at each other.
They're standing right in the middle of the Sakura hall.

.

Meanwhile another couples round about them dance lively.
They dance to the right and left following the music. ( a/n : Sorry I can't explained the dance better )
You know, there's a lot of dance step that take a lot of moves space.
If there's someone that didn't move, they will ended to bumped into them.
Well, it's happened here.

.

The couples around Kanata and Miyu accidentally bumped into them,
that makes the gap between the two of them decrease, it's just about only 5 inches left.
Then, when another couple bumped into them again ( actually bumped into Miyu )
Miyu ended to had her head at Kanata's chest.

.

"Sorry."
the couple apologize for the bumped.

.

"By the way, you two looks great together."
they added.

.

Miyu just realized their awkward position.
She just about to pulled back when suddenly Kanata hug her.

.

"Hey, let me go."
she tried to released herself, but Kanata tighten his arm.

.

"Nope, we must dance. Don't you see, peoples around us was looked at us strangely."

.

Miyu look around… and Kanata was absolutely right,
the other couples looked at them strangely because they were the only one who didn't dance.

.

"Come on."
then Kanata pulled her into the dance.

.

While dancing, Miyu feel hesitated at first, but slowly but sure she enjoyed the dance.
Not mention that Kanata was already enjoyed the dance from the very beginning.

.

"Ouch."
suddenly Miyu got her feet collide.

.

"Hmph…"
Kanata giggled.

.

"Hey, what're you laughing at?"
Miyu glared at him.

.

"Nothing, I just remembered you did something like this before."

.

"Well, did I?"
she asked confusedly.

.

"Did you already forgot?"
he asked back.

.

"Ow come on, I asked you, why did you asked me back?"

.

"Well, Cinderella story book, did that makes any sense?"

.

"Oh, you mean that one. Of course I remember it."

.

"But you just didn't any second ago."

.

"How can I forgot that one.
We were really panic back then,
we didn't even know that we were at Ruu's story book."

.

"More over me, suddenly I'd been asked to choose a girl to become my wife,
and there at the dance party…"
he stop for a while,
"…I saw you, the most beautiful girl."

.

Miyu blushed a little.
Then Kanata pushed her back a little and looked straight into her eyes.

.

"Miyu…"

.

"Kanata…"
Miyu also look straight into Kanata's eyes.

.

She feel so happy, because the man that she love so much was standing right before her,
looking at her fondly with his warm amber eyes..
But suddenly Miyu saw Akira's figure at Kanata's eyes, then she pulled back away.

.

"Miyu?"
Kanata sounded upset.

.

"Sorry Kanata, I'll just go home."
and with that the blonde girl rushed outside the hall,
left behind was the shocked brunette boy.

.

But it not last long because he felt a warm liquid falling from Miyu's cheek to his hand.

.

"Miyu!"
He snapped back and pursue her out of the hall.

.

XXXXXXXXXX

.

'What're you thinking? You such an idiot Miyu'
the blonde girl thought while running with tears falling over her cheek.

.

'Even if you loves him, you can't own him. He belongs to Akira'
she just run and run not paying attention to her surrounding, until…

.

"Miyu!"
someone catch her hand.

.

"Uh oh, Kanata!"

.
The two of them stop running and now try to catch their breath.

.

It seems that they'd running quite far from the Sakura Gakuen Hall,
they're at the Sakura Gakuen garden now.

.

The garden was full by many beautiful flowers.
The wind blow very gently and feel warm yet fresh.
It feel very pleasant to be there.

.

As the two teenagers were calm enough to starts another conversation.

.

"So, what do you mean by that?"
Kanata asked after he feel relaxed and has catches his breath.

.

He face her and look deep into her emerald eyes.

.

"Nothing."
Miyu being stubborn.

.

"None of your business."
she turned her face away.

.

Kanata feels really annoyed with Miyu's attitude.
He then pulls Miyu's head and beat it with his own head.

.

"Aw, what're you doing Kanata? It's hurt!"
she snarled at him while rubs her head,
"Ugh, I'm dizzy now."

.

"I don't get it, why did you really stubborn, yet your head were not as hard as I thought."
Kanata try to stay calm and cool although his head was hurt as well.
( a/n : I think this part of Kanata was really childish but it's really 'Kanata' ^^ )

.

"So, you still not telling me?"

.

"Nope …and don't even dare to do THAT again!"
she glared at him.

.

"Geez, why you were really stubborn!"
said Kanata with a clearly annoyed tone.

.

"Ow, you're really meanie."
she feels really angry now.

.

"I can't believe myself that I'm in love with you. You're such an idiot!"
Miyu didn't realized what she just said.

.

"You what?"
Kanata startled by her words.

.

"I said…"
she feel more annoyed as Kanata seems not listening to what she just said and raise her tone,
"I CAN'T BELIEVED MYSELF THAT I AM…"
suddenly she realized what she was saying and blushed,
"…in love with you…"
she said this part really weak that almost unheard.

.

"Is it true?"
Kanata put his hand on Miyu's shoulder,
"Miyu? Tell me, is it true?"
he shakes it a bit.

.

'Oh darn, what did I just said?!'
Miyu fall into her own world.

.

'Ow Miyu, you really are such an idiot, for what you told him about your true feeling?
It's useless. You already promise to yourself that you will forget him.'

.

"Miyu! Hey, Miyu!"
Kanata shake her shoulder that make the blonde back to reality.

.

"Just, just forget about it Kanata."
she said and shaped a fake smile.

.

"How can I forget about it? You said that you're in love with me."

.

"That's not true! It's just… a joke. Yeah, it's just a joke!"
she didn't know what to say anymore,

.

"H-how can I fall in love to you while… while I HATE YOU!"
suddenly her eyes was widen.

.

"Oh no, what did I just said?"
she gasped on her own words and shut her mouth up with her palm.

.

"…is that so?"
you can see pain in Kanata's eyes.

.

Miyu want to explain,
but this time she didn't dare to open her mouth since it's already 2 times it betrayed her.

.

"But you know, Miyu... I love you."

.

Kanata's words make Miyu shock and pulled her palm off and open her mouth wide,
not believing what she just heard,
'What did he just said?'

.

"What did you just said, Kanata?"
finally her voice come out.
"You what?"

.

"I love you Miyu. I do love you for a long time, ever since our first meeting."
he stop and then smile weakly,
"Well, don't bothered to think about it. I guess you hate me…"
he looked really hurt.

.

"N, No Kanata! I don't hate you."
Miyu replied quickly, didn't want him to take it all wrong.

.

"Really?"
he hope that his ear didn't get any mistake, she just nod her head.
"So, tell me about your feeling Miyu."

.

"I, I don't know Kanata. I do love you but, what about Akira?"
finally she spit it out.

.

"Akira? What's wrong with her?"
Kanata didn't get what Miyu talking about.

.

"Hey, how can you say something like that, she's your girlfriend."
Miyu was absolutely confused.

.

"What? Girlfriend? Who?"

.

"Akira."

.

"Akira? Girlfriend of who?"

.

"Of course YOURS baka, whose else?"
She become inpatient.
"How can you even forget that?"

.

"Woah, wait a minute missy!"
Kanata's really lost in this conversation.
"When did I and Akira become a couple?"

.

"I don't know exactly when. But, it's about 2 years ago."

.

"What? 2 years ago"

.

"Ow, what happened to you Kanata? Did you just got an amnesia? It was valentine day or maybe white day 2 years ago."

.

"Wait a second, I DIDN'T get any amnesia, and I DIDN'T have any girlfriend, even if it's Akira or any another girl."
Kanata was really confuse about what she was talking about.

.

"But, I saw it with my own eyes!"

.

"You saw what?"

.

"I saw the two of you at valentine day, at the garden near Saionji temple. I heard you say that you'll love it. What's that mean?"

.

"…" silence.

.

Kanata trying to remember about valentine day 2 years ago and about his meeting with Akira.
Miyu just stared at him waiting for his explanation.

.

"Ah!"
finally Kanata remember as he blushed a little.
Miyu saw that and thought that she was right.

.

"So, you already remember now? She gave you a chocolate and you said 'I'll love it' right?"

.

"No, I mean, yes."
Kanata scratch his head.
"Ow, how I said it"
Miyu just keep silent yet give him a strange look.

.

"Well you see, she DID gave me a chocolate but,
we were NOT talking about Her chocolate,
we were talking about YOURS."

.

"Huh? Me?"
Miyu was totally confuse now.

.

"Come on Miyu, you know Akira, right?
She'll tease me merciless even if she just arrived or even if it's a valentine day"

.

"I, I don't get it Kanata."

.

"Well, let's just check the flashback then."
( a/n : Kanata sounds like a narrator here. Well, he was MR-I-KNOW-EVERYTHING I guess ^.^ )

.

Flashback ( Kanata POV )

.

14 February, 2 years ago.
Since today was valentine day, I wake up early and get ready to school.
When I just about go to school, the bell door rang.
I opened it, it's Akira standing there.

.

"Hi Kanata, surprise to see me?"

.

"Akira, well, yeah. When did you arrived?"

.

"Just arrived. Do you want to go to school?"

.

"Well, yeah. We can talk while walk to school."
so we chat all along to school.
Then at that garden we stop a while.

.

"Hey Kanata, take this."
she suddenly put something wrapped in a beautiful wrapping on my palm.

.

"What's this?"

.

"Of course it's a chocolate, it's valentine day today."

.

"Oh, you right, thank you." I accept it with a light smile.

.

"Hey, you don't look happy."
she stop to think, and suddenly broke to a grin.

.
"Ow I know, you just hope you get chocolate from Miyu-chan, don't you?"
she start to teasing me.

.

"No, it's not that."
darn, she just hit a bingo.

.

"Hey, you're blushing right now, I think I just hit a jackpot!"
she laugh happily, seems like she enjoyed it a lot.

.

"Come on Akira, you know that her cooking is awful."

.

"You can't lie to me Kanata. So, if she give you chocolate will you not love it?"

.

"…yes, sure I'll love it."
then she pat my head.

.

"Ow Kanata so sweet, you're red as a ripe tomato"
she laugh happily.

.

"Come on Akira, I must go to school!"

.

"You just try to running away."
she smile widely.

.

Then we walk to school and separated at school's front gate.

.

End of flashback

.

"…then at school, you know what happened right?
Suddenly you mad at me and cried.
I don't even know why you be like that."

.

"I thought you and Akira were…"

.

"Well, we DIDN'T." Kanata tried to convince her.

.

"But, at white day I saw the two of you hug each other and Akira was crying on your chest."

.

"Hey, that's because…"
Kanata stop a while to think,
"That reminds me. What about you?"

.

"Me?" Miyu pointed herself,
"What about me?"

.

"Didn't you already has a 'darling'?"

.

"What?"

.

"Yeah, I heard it by myself"

.

"Me? Darling? Don't talk nonsense Kanata."
says Miyu bewildered.

.

"I won't talk like that if I didn't heard by myself."
Kanata is sure about what he heard before.

.

"I don't know what you'd heard. But, I DIDN'T have any 'DARLING' or even a boyfriend."
this time it's Miyu's turn to lost in this conversation.

.

"It's no use to argued, I think it's time for another flashback."
( a/n : Well, you got what you wanted Mr Saionji ^^ )

.

Another flashback ( Kanata POV )

.

14 March, 2 years ago, White day.
I walked towards Kouzuki residence.
When I reached the house gate,
I saw a guy seem like 1 or 2 years older than us there,
stand in front of your house.
Then suddenly you come out.

.

"Hey."

.

"Aah, when did you come?"
you asked him with a wide smile on your face.
When I saw it that time, I already had a bad feeling about it.

.

"Just arrived, so wanna go to some date?"
I'm shock to hear that, I become more shocked when I heard your answer.

.

"Yeah, of course darling. I'll change my clothes first."

.

End of flashback

.

"…as I heard that by myself with my own ears, it's shocked me.
I just think to give you a gift in return the valentine chocolate you had given to me,
and I planed to tell you about my true feeling.
But after I heard that you already had a darling of your own,
I just feel… you know, depressed."

.

"…"
Miyu just keep silence, listening to Kanata
while think about this 'darling' stuff.

.

So, Kanata just go with his talk.

.

"And when I just towards home, Akira greeted me at that garden.
I was gloomy back then, she asked me and I told her everything.
Then she hug me to soothe me, but she cried instead of me that can't cried myself out."
as Kanata finish his story, he looked at Miyu.
But the blonde girl just looked down to ground, her body has shake a little.
He thought that she's crying.

.

"Miyu, don't cry. I told you to not bothered to think about my feeling,
I understand that you already had another choice."
Kanata tried to soothe her and about to hug her when she laughed her tongue out.

.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha. Ow, Kanata, Ha Ha Ha."
Kanata just looked at her with a very confused look at his face.
He just don't get why Miyu laugh at him.

.

"It's... it's a most ridiculous thing I ever heard."
she said when she can control her laugh, Kanata still confused and frowned a little.
.

"You know, that 'darling' thing."

.

"Nande about that?"

.

"That 'darling' actually was a relative of mine, he was my cousin from America."

.

"What? So why did you called him darling then?"
he asked curiously.

.

"Well, everyone DID called him that way, 'cause his real name was 'Daren Broadling'.
And 'date' here means to walked him around this town."
she finished her sentence and start to laugh again.

.

"Ow, that's foolish of me."
he said as he slapped his forehead and then joined Miyu in her laugh.

.

Suddenly they become silent, they just looked at each other eyes, the amber and the emerald one.

.

"We just passed 2 years useless because our silly thought."
said Miyu.

.

"Yeah, I think our time has stop since white day 2 years ago."

.

"…"
silence again.

.

They just looked each other imagining what would they be right now if there isn't something silly like that happened.

.

"Well…"
Kanata break the silence.

.

"Since today was a white day, I think I should give you a present."

.

"Really?"
Miyu's eyes shined, she sure like to receive a present.
"But you don't seem to carry any present right now."
she saw Kanata's empty hand.

.

"Well, what you expecting for a 'disaster chocolate 2 years ago'?"
Kanata teased her with a smirk.

.

"Ow Kanata, I HATE you when…"

.
Miyu starts protesting when suddenly Kanata pulls her closer to him
and kiss her small pink lip gently.
Miyu was shocked at first, but returned the kiss as well.

.

"That's the present. did you like it?"

says Kanata when they lips come apart.

.

Upon hearing that sentence, Miyu blushed madly.

.

"I thought you said that you hate me."
Kanata teased the blushing blonde girl.

.

Miyu rolled her emerald eyes to think
and suddenly put a quick kiss on the brunette's lip.

.

"Well, I do hate you, but I love you more."
and stick her tongue out.

.

This time is Kanata's turn to blushed.

.

XXXXXXX
