To all of you who have read and reviewed this story, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will be updating the next chapters soon.

Disclaimer: huhuhu... I'm always crying because I don't own this anime.

"Ahh... wait. Where's Kanata and Christine?" Santa asked noticing the two people mentioned were not in the same room as they were.

Kanata was walking down the dark hallway of the temple bypassing every door of the rooms.

"There you are! I thought I'd lost you!" he said to his mind and slowly picked the thing. It was a necklace with a shape of a half of a broken heart, and God knows where the other half is. The little light coming from the nearest room reflected the gold necklace that made it easy for him to distinguish it.

"I wonder where the other half of this heart is." The necklace was the only thing he had from her mother as a birthday present for him.

Miyu and the others exited the living room ad went outside the temple where the supposed-to-be film showing will be held. The chairs were arranged neatly and a white big cloth in front. A few distances from the back of the chairs was an old model of a camera. It looks old but is after all good for film viewing.

"I expected they were here, but they're not." Nanami announced.

"I'm beginning to get worried." The blonde-haired girl added. Her worried face is very noticeable.

"- - about Kanata?" Aya teased who suddenly popped out from Miyu's side.

"Ahmm..maybe, but also for Christine."

"How about if we find them first before watching tonight's show?"

"Yeah, I think you're right then." Santa did not disagree though he was very looking forward on seeing the movie but he knows that it was the best for all of them. After all, it would not be great if others won't be able to see it. (A/N: Wow! Santa...you sure are a good friend.)

"Better if we split into two so we can find them faster. I'll go with Miyu then." Nanami suggested.

"Okay! Santa and I will go this way." Aya declared hugging Santa's arm leading him towards a direction.

"Hey, wait up! I think you should search first inside. The temple maybe not that big but sometimes it is like a maze especially at night. I'm guessing that Christine got confused on her path." Miyu implied.

"Miyu and I will go check in the forest. I'm also thinking that Christine might be lost in the woods." Nanami continued. "Don't worry. We can take care of ourselves."

"We'll meet up here after an hour of searching, okay?" Santa proposed.

"Okay. Be careful, you two." Aya worriedly said.

Miyu and Nanami went inside the part called as "The Northern Forest" of the temple. It is not that dark and creepy. It just looked like a mini-forest but was believed to have lost souls and other kinds of ghosts you know. It's a little bit dim but thanks to the moon illuminating above giving them an easy access on the way through.

"Chris-chan?" Miyu began calling out.

"Hanakomachi! Where are you?" the redhead shouted.

"Kanata? Are you there?"

The two continued their journey into the woods. Despite of the sound of the wolves and the unpleasantly strange calls of the birds and other animals that makes you feel afraid and in horror, the two bravely walked and called names of the person they are searching for.

Kanata, on the other hand, went inside Ruu-kun's room just to check the cute baby after hearing a groan. After seeing that there were no harmful hassles felt by his 'baby', he stared at the golden necklace he was searching moments ago. The jewelry was maybe that attractive or he does not even know why but he could not resist stare at it and doesn't feel any strangeness sticking his nose on that thing.

The digital clock on the desk read five more seconds before midnight strikes.

The blonde girl was clueless of how she began running towards a certain direction. It's like her feet have minds on their own leading her to a who-knows-where place.

"Miyu, wait! Why the sudden rush? Did you happen to know where are they?" the redhead asked shouting while following her friend.

Kanata noticed a thing Ruu was hugging on his sleep. It's neither a pillow nor Pepo (A/N: Is the name right? You know the pink and white cute alien.) However, it was something bright and outshining. He stared at it for a while recognizing it was a cute little prince doll. It has a dark-brown hair, and auburn eyes, holding a red beautiful rose on his left hand and grasping the handle of his sword on his right. It stood right up, as it was really a prince-like figurine.

Miyu was still running and Nanami was still following her pace. When they turn towards a path, the amethyst-eye lady halted and met a certain glow of light on her path. Nanami backed off a few distances from behind while observing her friend's reactions. Miyu slowly paced forward and went near the light.

The auburn-haired boy removed the baby's hug from the toy slowly preventing him from waking up.

Kanata gradually pulled out the shining figurine and held it up in front of his face. Again, he cannot help look at with fixed eyes on it. He was just unconsciously stunned. Or maybe hypnotized? At the same moment Kanata got the doll, Miyu stepped in and touched a piece of who-knows-what thing out from beam, of being curious of the source of the dazzling light.

"Miyu..." Nanami faintly said like a soft whisper.

TICK! TAK! (Clock)

As Miyu grasped at the thing, she realized it was a pretty doll with a long blonde hair tied up in a simple ponytail. Her dress was also cute – a white gown made from the finest fabric – and her amethyst eyes were beautiful as if it tells something. The beam of light suddenly went off.

The digital clock strikes midnight. Kanata suddenly felt weird as the doll produced a very dazzling light. He shut his eyes tightly and pulled out his arm for cover. He abruptly felt weak and collapsed.

Miyu was a bit shock when the light disappeared and gave her the chance to examine at the features of the molded figure for a while. She sensed something strange when a blinding light shined from the doll girl. Her amethyst eyes cannot take too much light which forced her to close her eyes harshly. Nanami who was just behind her pulled her arms defensibly to avoid too much light dazzle her eyes. Unfortunately, the light was too much to bear that she also has to close her eyes.

As she had a peeked above her arms, there was no Miyu!

Wha? Where could she be? Thanks so much for all who have reviewed, who will review, and will never review. Anyhow, thank you also for those who have read, and will continue to read. I will be updating again soon.
