Mixed and Misunderstood

Disclaimer: As usual, I do NOT own D3! , because Mika Kawamura does. But I do own Mixed and Misunderstood and it's contents(except for it's characters). Now, let's begin.

"The stars for my new play! It will star you four." she said pointing to Seiya, Akira, Miyu and Kanata.

"Eh?!" the group shouted simultaneously.

The stage. Divided between the curtain, the two groups: the performers and the audience. In the audience are the parents and fellow classmates, holding their programs and whispering to one another. Meanwhile, backstage, there's a huge ruckus. Last minute problems, people rehearsing their last lines. Everyone running around trying to get ready.

A sigh escaped our one and only blonde.

"What's wrong, Miyu?" the other blonde asked.

Miyu looked up to face one of her co-actors and a slight blush crept up to her face. He was dressed royal clothing. Frilly yet beautiful and elegant. His blonde hair combed neatly leaving a few strands of hair around the side. With a crimson red cape flowing behind him and a sword by his side, he looked like a regular fairytale prince.

"Nervous, huh?" Seiya said when he received no reply.

"Eh? Oh, uh, y-yeah." Miyu replied looking away, still blushing.

Seiya smiled at the blushing girl before him. She was dressed in regular maid's outfit. Except it was a bit gothic loita. It was black and white, of course. Frilly near the edges. A giant silver cross over her chest. With a black choker and black and white, lacy headband and armband. You get the picture?

A few shrieks broke Seiya's stare at his 'friend'. He turned to look at his other co-actor and 'rival'. Kanata was also dressed like a prince. Similar to Seiya's, but his was royal blue and white with a few streaks of yellow. Unlike Seiya, he didn't have a cape or a sword. But he was just as handsome and as cool as Seiya looked, if not more. (A/N: refer to D3! episode 45 for Kanata's outfit.)

Everybody had stopped what they were doing to stare at the handsome brunette prince. Even though he was being crowded by just about all the girls working backstage, he saw Miyu and began to walk towards her. A blush evident on both their faces. The other girls backed off when he headed towards Miyu, because they all knew and finally accepted them being together.

"Hey." Kanata said.

"..Hi." Miyu mumbled back.

"Nervous?"

"A little." Miyu said finally looking up.

"You look...really pretty." he whispered into her ear.

Her blushed increased, if possible. And her heart was racing, as she felt his warm breath lingering on her ear.

"You too." she said when he backed up.

"Hm?" he said.

"I-I m-mean, you l-look h-handsome." she said.

Both teens looked away from each other, blushing madly.

"Akira-senpai! You look so cool!" several of the junior stagehands cried out.

The couple turned to look at the said person. She had on royal blue top, with some red decorations on the arm and a yellow floor length dress. As an accessory, she had a red bow tied to the top of her head. (A/N: first of all, i'd like to apologize for the bad descriptions. and 2nd i based Akira's outfit on the Walt Disney Snow White dress.)

Akira, seeing Kanata, and Miyu?, walked over to the two.

"How is it?" she asked.

"It looks good," Kanata said smiling "Ne, Miyu?"

"Y-yeah." Miyu said trying to smile at her.

"Aw, thanks. You both look great too." she replied smiling.

"Enough chit-chat! The show's about to begin! Everybody, places!" Aya yelled.

"Miyu! Hurry up! You're up first." Nanami shouted.

"Okay." she yelled back "That's my cue."

"Good luck." Kanata whispered.

Miyu smiled and a gave a small wave before getting into position.

"And now, the drama club presents 'White Cinderella'. Rewritten by the club president, Aya Konishi. Please, enjoy." the announcer said.

The curtain rose, and the show began.

(A/N: The italicized will be the narrator. The Lights is off-on or on-off unless other wise told)

Our story begins in the castle of the Saionji Kingdom, where one prince and regular teen maid live. The girl's name was Miyu Kouzuki. (Light shines on Miyu sweeping the floor) She was 15 years old and her parents had been working in the castle since she was born. (Miyu's light off) Her dad was a guard (Light shines on Nozomu) and her mother was a cook. (Light shines on Nanami) (Nanami&Nozomu's lights off and Miyu's on) Miyu had never spoken to the Prince, although she cleaned his room and saw him during many of the formal events, they never spoke. Miyu had thought the Prince was pretty cute and had a good personality. And she had a small crush on him, just like every other teenage girl in the Kingdom. (Lights off)

The Prince's (Kanata's light on) name was Kanata Saionji. He was also 15 years old. His dad, Hosho Saionji was the king, but was always away on a trip somewhere and only came home for important events. His mother, Hitomi Saionji, had passed away when the Prince was merely 3. The Prince was to be named King when he turned 18, but he was to get engaged this year, on his 16th birthday. Kanata was a good prince. Kind, caring, smart and he had looks too. But he was tired of his royal life and tended to escape into the village or forest nearby. Even for a few moments, he could feel like a normal teenager. (Lights off)

One day, during one of the Prince's lessons, he escaped off to the nearby forest. (All Lights on) This time, he was not alone. Unknown to him, his maid, Miyu Kouzuki was also in the forest looking for fruits and herbs for her mother. She was walking without looking ahead, only looking for the herb she needed. The Prince was walking backwards, to see if anyone was following him. Not paying attention, the two crashed into each other.

"Oww." Miyu cried. (A/N: Miyu has changed clothes. A brown top with matching skirt, a dark green shawl and headband.)

"Sorry." Kanata said as he got up "I wasn't paying attention."

He reached for the Miyu's hand to pull her up.

"Thank y-" Miyu was cut short when she looked up to see who it was. "Ah! Ouji-sama!"

"Shh!" he said covering her mouth.

He listened for any incoming guards, releasing his hand when he heard no one coming.

"What are you doing here, Ouji-sama?" Miyu said although, everybody knew about the Prince's escapes.

"How do you know who I am? And stop calling me Prince, just call me Kanata." Kanata said helping Miyu up.

"Well, Kanata-sama, I am one of your maids." she said bowing.

"Hm."

"Ah! No, the fruits!" Miyu said as she bent down to pick up the spilled ingredients.

Kanata bent down to help her pick up the fruits and stuff. "Here."

"Oh, thank you O- Kanata-sama." she replied taking the fruit.

"Are you Miki-san's daughter?" he asked.

"Oh, how do you know my mom?" she asked.

"She's the cook right?"

Miyu nodded in reply.

"Hm. She's really nice."

"Really?"

"You're lucky to have her as a mom."

"Hm."

"So, what are you doing here anyways?" Kanata asked.

"I'm getting some herbs and fruits for my mother."

"Really? What dish is she making tonight?"

"I'm not really sure, sorry Kanata-sama."

"Ehh. You can drop the -sama part already."

"Huh?"

"We're friends right?"

"Hm? Are we? What's my name?"

"Miyu Kouzuki."

"Eh?!"

"I got it right, didn't I?"

"But how?"

"I'm the Prince, not knowing one of my people's name is a disgrace."

"Try it." he said.

"What?"

"Try saying my name."

"Err. K-Kanata-kun?"

Kanata flashed a big smile at Miyu. "See."

"I heard from Miki-san that you're about the same age as I am." he asked a few seconds later.

"Yeah."

"But you get a normal life. How lucky. You get to go to school and the village whenever you want right?"

"Well, yeah. But it's not that great. Especially school, with all the homework and tests."

"For once, I'd like to have a normal life." Kanata said looking at the sky.

Miyu looked at the boy wondering whether the choice she was about to make would be right. She decided that she would be prepared for the consequences, whatever they may be.

"Kanata-kun, do you mind waiting here for a bit?" Miyu asked.

"Huh? Uhm, sure I guess." Kanata replied.

"Great!" she said before dashing off towards the castle with her basket.

"Hm?"

Kanata was sitting around, enjoying the view, waiting for Miyu to come back. A few seconds later, she returned with her basket gone and some clothes with her.

"Here," she said handing him the clothes "Change into this."

"Why?" he questioned, eyebrows raised.

"Just do it." she ordered turning around so her back was facing him.

"Okay." he said giving in.

(Lights off for Kanata to change)

(Lights on)

"Okay, now what?" Kanata said after getting changed.

He had on an outfit similar to Miyu's except it was for men. And as an extra accessory, Kanata had on a matching brown hat.

"Great, leave your clothes there and let's get going." Miyu said excitedly.

"Where are we going now, exactly?"

"To town, silly." Miyu said.

"W-what?" Kanata exclaimed before Miyu started dragging him.

(Lights-Scene Change)

Miyu and Kanata arrived safely in town without getting caught. The Prince was cautious at first, but soon enjoyed everything Miyu had to show him. They almost got caught a few times, as people thought they recognized him as the Prince, but they successfully deceived every one of them. The sun had begun to set and the two decided to head for home.

(Lights-Scene Change)

The two arrived back in the forest just before the sky turned pitch black. They said their 'goodbyes' and went their separate ways.

(Lights off)

The next couple of weeks, the two spent almost all the time they had free together. Talking mostly. They had gotten extremely close. Miyu had stopped calling him Ouji-sama or Kanata-sama, except when someone was around. She even stopped adding the -kun part. As had Kanata to Miyu. They each learned alot about the other. Miyu heard stories of what Kanata remembered about his mother. And Miyu exchanged stories about her school life and such. And on special days, she brought home some common items from the village market. But one fateful day began to change everything.

(Lights on)

"Oi, Miyu." Kanata whispered.

"Hm?" Miyu said searching for the owner of the voice.

"Over here."

"Oh. What is it Kanata-sama?" she asked.

"Come in here."

Miyu entered Kanata's room after looking to see if anyone was watching.

"What is it Kanata?" Miyu said after she closed the door.

"Are you free today?" he asked.

"Today? Today...hmm...I think so. Why?" she replied.

"Would you come with me to town?" he asked.

"Hmm..."

"Please."

"Hm."

"Preeety Please?" he said.

"You know I'm just joking with you. Of course I will."

"Great! Meet me in the forest at around 1."

"M'Kay."

"See ya."

(Lights off)

The two had changed their clothes and met up in the forest as promised. Unfortunately for them, this time the guards on duty had caught them before they could go to town.

(Lights on)

"How dare you do this?!" Christine shouted.

Christine was the caretaker of Kanata while his father was away. The guards had caught the two teens and brought them before Chris.

"I'm truly sorry." Miyu said bowing. "I had no intention of harming the Prince what so ever."

"Don't blame Miyu, it was my fault, I asked her to come with me." Kanata said.

Gasps could be heard from just about everyone in the room.

"Insolence. Do not believe these lies. I'm sure this wicked girl here tricked Your Highness into coming with her." Chris said. "Now she will pay the price."

Chris came forward and 'struck' Miyu across the face.

"What are you doing?!" Kanata said rushing forward to Miyu.

"This is just part of her punishment." Chris exclaimed.

"Stop! I order you to stop this Chris." Kanata said.

"Your Highness. Why are you protecting this girl?"

"Because...she's my friend. Now, I order you to stop this."

"Fine, but listen here Miyu-san. If you ever do something like this, I will make sure you never set foot in this castle again. Consider this a warning." Chris said before walking away.

"Are you okay?" Kanata said bending down to help her.

"I'm fine. Sorry to cause you trouble Kanata-sama." she said before rushing out.

(Lights off)

And so, weeks passed by and the two never had a chance to communicate. Christine had sent Miyu to clean another part of the castle, the farthest away from anywhere Kanata is. With a ball coming soon, Kanata was as busy as ever and had no free time. And if he did, he was constantly being watched.

(Lights on)

"Miyu!" Kanata said when he spotted the blonde.

He had managed to get away from being watched and found Miyu. Miyu, hearing and recognizing the voice, walked away in an even faster pace. But she was no match for Kanata who chased after her until he caught her by the arm.

"Why are you running away?" he asked.

"I shouldn't be seen talking to you Ouji-sama. Please, let me go." she said not facing the boy.

"What?! Just because Chris said something like that, you're going to stop talking to me altogether?" he exclaimed.

"Please let go." she said, voice unchanging.

"Fine. If that's what you want. But not before I tell you what I needed to." he said loosening his grip.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you."

Miyu lifted her face.

"Good. Now, what I wanted to tell you was......" Kanata began.

"Was what, Ouji-sama?" Miyu said.

"Okay, first of all, stop with the -sama, no one is watching! And secondly, the thing was......foryoutocometotheballtonight." he said.

"What was that? I couldn't quite catch that Kanata-sama." she said, half joking, half serious about the -sama part.

"I said, I want you to come...totheballtonight."

"Come where?"

"To. The. Ball." he said getting angry.

"Why?" she asked.

"Why? Why. Erm...That is. Uh. Because. Uhm...." Kanata said looking around "Anyways, just come."

"Not until you give me a good reason to." she replied stubbornly.

"Miyu. Stop being so stubborn."

"So what if I am?"

"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?" Kanata said looking directly into her eyes.

"....."

"Whatever, just come tonight." Kanata said before walking away.

"Idiot." Miyu whispered after he left.

(Lights-Scene Change)

"Hey, Miyu. I heard Kanata-kun asked you to go to the ball tonight." Nanami said.

Miyu's face flushed "W-where did you hear t-that?!"

"From the Prince himself."

"Damnit Kanata!" Miyu thought.

"So are you going?" Nanami asked.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because..."

"Ahh. My daughter is so stubborn." Nanami said teasingly.

"I. Am. Not." Miyu replied.

"So, why aren't you going? He invited you personally."

"Exactly."

"Hm? Could it be..."

"What?"

"Have you fallen in love with Kanata-kun?" Nanami said.

"MAMA! Don't spout such nonsense." Miyu exclaimed.

"Ahh, but that expresion tells me all."

"Whatever."

"What a stubborn child."

"Well, I'm your stubborn child."

"Hm..."

"What now, mom?" Miyu asked.

"You don't want to cause trouble for Kanata-kun, ne?"

"....."

"I thought so." Nanami said happily.

"Mou! Mama."

"Alright, I've got to get going now. Preparing food for this big night. Where the Kanata-kun is going to choose a BRIDE CANDIDATE."

"Eh?"

"Oh, you didn't know. This ball was set up for Kanata-kun to find a bride. He told me himself. You mean, he didn't tell you?" Nanami said sarcastically.

"Very funny, mom. Just go."

"Alright, alright. But here's a dress just in case you change your mind."

"I won't need it." Miyu said stubbornly.

Nanami chuckled slightly before leaving the room.

"What should I do?" Miyu sighed giving a longing look at the dress before her.

(Lights-Scene Change)

Girls from every neighboring kingdom had arrived. Each eager to dance with the Prince and hopefully become his bride.

"Kyaaa!" screamed all the girls.

"The Prince is so cute."

"Dance with me, Ouji-sama!"

A sigh escaped the Prince. There was only one girl he wanted to see.

"Guess she's not coming after all." he muttered to himself.

"What are you mumbling about?" Santa said.

"Nothing, dad." Kanata replied.

"Really? So, see any girls you like?" Santa asked.

"Not particuarly."

"My, such a picky boy."

(Spotlight)

"I wonder if this will be alright." Miyu said to herself.

She had decided to come to the ball after all. She was dressed like a princess, with her pink and white dress. Frills at the end. A red bow, right across her chest, a white frilly choker, a tiara and to top it off, she had glass slippers. (A/N: refer to episode 45)

(Lights on the two)

"Miyu?" Kanata said when he spotted the girl.

"Shit. No turning back now." Miyu said.

Kanata began to head for the girl, making just about every girl he passed by, faint.

"Miyu, you came." he said when he finally approached her.

"Yeah."

"You look......amazing." Kanata said.

Miyu blushed violently. Kanata knelt down, kissed the back of her hand and asked "May I have this dance."

(All Lights on)

Miyu nodded her head in approval and the two began to sway to the music. It was graceful and beautiful, but a bit sad for the girls around. When the song ended, both parties bowed to each other.

"Come here. I want you to meet someone." Kanata said pulling her along.

"Wait, what?" Miyu said.

"Hey, Kanata, is that the girl?" Santa cried.

"DAD!" Kanata said, face flushed.

"Your Majesty." Miyu said bowing.

"Ah, no need, just call me Dad" Santa said.

"OYAJI!" Kanata shouted.

"And may I ask for your name, miss?"

"Kouzuki. Miyu Kouzuki."

"Miyu-chan, huh. You're very cute."

"T-thank you?"

"Oyaji!" Kanata shouted again.

"Relax son. She's all yours, I'm not going to steal her from you." Santa replied.

Both teens blushed at the comment. "Dad!"

"So, is this the girl?" he asked again.

"Yes." Kanata replied.

"Great." Santa said smiling happily.

"W-what?" Miyu asked clearly confused.

Kanata got down on one knee and held Miyu's hand "Miyu Kouzuki, will you marry me?"

Everybody in the room grew silent.

"W-wait, w-what?" Miyu said shocked.

"Will you marry me, Miyu?"

"I-" Miyu began.

"Wait! Wait, one moment." Christine shouted "Sire, you cannot possibly allow these two to get married."

"And why not?" Santa responded.

"Because, she's the girl that tried to kidnap him." Chris exclaimed, earning several gasps from the crowd.

"Oh, you mean the girl that tried to take him to town?"

"Yes."

"Kidnapping? Hm..." Santa said as he stroked his 'beard'.

"Wait, Dad. That's not true. She was just showing me what a normal life was." Kanata said.

"You can't believe that Sire." Chris retorted.

"Oh, but I do believe my son." Santa replied "And Miyu-chan."

"But-" Chris started.

"Stop. Can't you see how happy my son looks. If he is happy with her, than so am I. It is only matter if she agrees or not."

"But she's merely a servant girl." Chris said, earning gasps from everybody.

"Who cares about status. Happiness overrules all that. And that's the end of that. This conversation is no more. My son has chosen who he wants, and we will all agree to that." Santa said.

"Yes, Sire." Chris said giving in.

"So, Miyu, what do you say?" Kanata said.

Kanata had gotten up and his arm was around her waist, so she could not escape.

"Eto...Ano......" Miyu said looking around.

"Well?" Kanata asked.

"...y-yes." Miyu said blushing.

"Really? Alright!" Kanata said happily as he picked up the blushing girl and twirled her around.

"See, how happy they look." Santa said looking at the two.

"Yes." Christine replied.

(Lights-Scene Change)

Kanata and Miyu were on the balcony of his room.

"Why?" Miyu asked.

"Hm?" Kanata replied looking at his new fiance.

"Why'd you ask to m-marry me?"

"Because...I love you."

Miyu's face turned crimson red.

"Do you love me?" Kanata asked.

"I-I...alwaysdid."

Kanata laughed as he drew closer towards his bride.

"Then it should be fine, us getting married." he said.

Kanata lifted her face so that she would be looking at him. Then the distance between them closed and they shared their first kiss.

(Lights-Scene Change)

The news of Kanata's marriage had spread through all the kingdoms. Invites had been sent, preparations were being made. The entire Saionji Kingdom was bustling with movement. The news had reached the ears and eyes of one person in particular. And that was...Snow White. Snow White belonged to the Kijyou Kingdom and Snow White was her nickname. Snow White had always been in love with the Prince and when news of his marriage reached her, she was furious.

"How could he get married to such a simple girl like that? I'm way prettier and I'm actually a princess." Akira said pacing around her room.

"Why don't you go over to the Saionji Kingdom and claim what's yours?" Snow White's mother said.

"Great idea, mother. But I'll need help." Akira said.

"Ask your grandmother, I'm sure she can come up with something."

"What was that? I heard my name." an old lady said entering the room.

"Grandma, I need something to help me get rid of this Miyu person." Akira said.

"Ahh. I see. I've got just the thing." the old lady said reaching for her bag.

"Here, take this poisoned apple. One bite of this and she'll be asleep forever."

"Perfect." Akira said smirking evily at the apple in hand.

(Lights-Scene Change)

Snow White had sent a request to stay at the Palace for a few days, which was granted with the help of her mother. She met the Prince and she had deceived him perfectly. He had no idea what she was planning, neither did the bride. She had become a close friend to both. And it was time for her plan to take action.

"Miyu-chan!" Akira called.

"Hm?" Miyu replied.

Miyu was dressed in her wedding gown, for the rehearsal today. It was pinkish-white. Frilly, of course, but also elegant. She had on white gloves, a similar white choker to her previous dress at the ball, and a heart necklace. And a matching veil. Her hair was combed back with a few curls accenting her face. She had on a light shade of make up and a bouquet of various flowers. In short, she was dressed like a princess.

"Wow. You look beautiful." Akira lied.

"Thanks Akira-chan." Miyu smiled back.

"You look tired, here I got you an apple to eat." Akira said handing over the poisoned apple.

"Thanks. It looks delicious. Ittedakimasu." Miyu said taking a bite out of the apple.

As soon as she swallowed that bite, Miyu collapsed into a deep slumber.

"Heh. The plan has started." Akira smiled to herself.

(Lights-Scene Change)

After Snow White had poisoned Miyu, she brought her to a hidden forest in the Kijyou Kingdom. News of Miyu's disapperance ran through the Saionji Kingdom. Everybody was a mess, searching for the to be princess. The Prince was in an emotional state himself, wondering where his bride had gone. Snow White had convinced the Kingdom, after a week of search, to change the bride to her instead, so not to cause any trouble. They would announce that it was just a cover, using Miyu as bride and the wedding would continue. Meanwhile, Miyu had found herself in the help of seven helpful dwarfs, although she was stil asleep.

"What should we do?" one of the dwarfs asked.

"For now, we should put her in a casket and see how we can wake her up." the leader dwarf said.

"Alright." the others responded.

(Lights-Scene Change)

The dwarfs had gone to a magician in town and found out a cure. It was a kiss from a prince. The dwarfs, knowing this, sent notices to every kingdom hoping a prince would come to save the girl. Finally, news reached the Saionji Kingdom. Kanata immediately set out to find Miyu, with Akira tagging along. But, the news had reached a different 'Prince' faster than it had Kanata.

"Oh, kind prince, thank you for coming. We thought nobody would come." the dwarf said.

"No need. I must help a damsel in distress." Seiya said.

"Here she is, Ouji-sama."

"Okay."

There lay Miyu, in her wedding gown, hands folded in the casket. She was surrounded by flowers of various species and fruits.

"My, what a beautiful princess." Seiya exclaimed. "I will awaken this poor maiden with a kiss."

Seiya leaned forward to 'kiss' Miyu. (He only kissed her cheek.)

With a kiss from the Prince, Miyu began to wake up.

"Kanata?"

"Where am I?" Miyu asked.

"In the forest of the Kijyou Kingdom." Seiya replied.

"Who are you?" Miyu asked as Seiya helped her get up.

"I am Prince Seiya Yaboshi."

"What happened?"

"I think these dwarfs know the story better than I do." Seiya replied.

And so, the dwarfs told the story to the extent they knew. Miyu had listened and everything started to click. She told her story to the dwarfs and Seiya, about her marriage and Akira.

"I see." Seiya replied a bit depressed.

"Oh no, Ouji-sama, I am very grateful for you waking me up. And you dwarfs too, thank you for taking care of me. But." Miyu said.

"But, you must return to your true love." Seiya finished.

"Yes, I'm very sorry." Miyu said bowing.

"Do not apologize Hime-sama. It cannot be helped. I, as a prince, will bring you back to where you belong." Seiya said getting on his knee and kissing the back of Miyu's hand.

"Miyu!" a familiar voice cried.

"Kanata?" Miyu said whipping around.

Miyu rushed over to hug Kanata, who warmly accepted her embrace.

"Thank goodness you're okay." he said.

"Kanata!" Miyu said crying into his arms.

"There, there." he said running his hand through her hair.

"Kanata?" another familiar voice said.

"Akira." the two said simutaneously.

"Oh, Miyu-chan, I'm so glad you're alright." Akira lied coming forward to hug her.

Miyu backed away before Akira could touch her.

"What's wrong?" Kanata asked.

"S-" Miyu began.

"Oh, we missed you so much. But we didn't want to cause any trouble with your disapperance, so Hosho-san agreed to OUR marriage." Akira interrupted.

"Eh?" Miyu said eyes wide in shock.

"I'm sorry Miyu." Kanata said hiding his face.

"Yes, we're arranged to get married tomorrow." Akira said, kissing her fiance on the cheek "Right?"

"But, I can cancel it, because I'm suppose to marry you." Kanata said.

"What?" Akira said putting on a fake sad face.

Everything ran through Miyu's mind, confusing her. But she finally made her decision.

"No." Miyu said shaking her head.

"What?" the two asked.

"Kanata, I've made my decision. I...I don't think we're meant to be. You and I...are...just too different. You and Akira...get m-married."

"What?" Kanata said. "Are you serious?"

Miyu nodded her head, hiding her face with her bangs.

"I honestly love you, but...I'm not strong enough...to...take a love like this. I'm sorry." she said approaching the boy.

"So I guess this is goodbye." Miyu said cupping Kanata's face in her hands.

She gave him a sweet last kiss before running off.

Kanata tried to chase after her, but was stopped by Akira. Meanwhile, Seiya ran after Miyu.

(Lights-Scene Change)

So, Kanata and Akira headed back to the Saionji Kingdom. Prince Seiya ran after Miyu, who was found at the river, crying.

"You...why'd you do that? You could've easily taken him back." Seiya said resting on a nearby rock.

"You.. don't... understand." Miyu said in between sobs.

"What I do understand is that girl is evil and you truly love that man."

"You don't know anything about me."

"I know you love him. You know, when you woke up, the first thing you said was that guy's name."

Miyu's tears began to soften. "I...He's happier with her. They belong together."

"I don't believe that's true."

Miyu looked up and was taken into Seiya's embrace. She willingly hugged him back. And when Seiya thought she was calming down, it was just the opposite.

"What are you doing?" Seiya said reaching for the sword Miyu stole.

"Let go!" Miyu cried.

"You're just going to throw your life away for that? You were the one who gave him up!"

The two struggled to get the sword.

"Shut up! You don't know anything!"

As the two struggled for the sword, it accidentally sliced Miyu by her arm. The two noticed this immediately and the only thing on their mind was "This is a real sword!"

A/N: Whoa! This is longer than I thought, so I stopped it here, the next chap will be short =.= but this really long chap makes up for it? Anyways, clifty. =] hehe. Anyways, please review and tell me what you think. Did you love it? Was it confusing? Hated it? Liked it? Neither liked nor hate? I think that I had my reviews as no anonymous, which I didn't realize til recently. So if that's the case and you couldn't review before, please do know. I'd really appreciate it. Because my inspiration to right comes from you guys, mostly. And other stuffies. Yikes, my internet is so unreliable lately. Hopefully, I will be able to continue uploading my stories/chapters without any trouble. So, I've got the 6th chapter written out and it's ready, just needs some last minute editing. And when I post it will depend on my internet and whenever I feel like.

Did you see it?: I was watching D3! again for the hundredth time. But this time I noticed something. In ep 16, with the Lovers Tree. During part 3 (on youtube) when Miyu is sitting on the beach wondering about the kiss. After she tells Kanata sorry and that it was an accident. And when he says Let's go back. When he turns around, I noticed that he was blushing. Seriously. Pause it, and you can totally see he's blushing. Check it out if you haven't already seen it. Thanks for reading.

Preview: Oh no! The sword is real? What are Seiya and Miyu going to do? She can't possibly stab herself with a read sword. She'll die. So what are they going to do??? And who switched the swords in the first place??? And the next chapter definitely lives up to the rating I gave this fanfic, rated T.
