"It's so hot!" Miyu complained as she fanned herself with her hand.
It was summer and the air was moist, the heat unbearable.
"Stop whining. Just finish cleaning up the hall then we're done for the day." Kanata said as he cleaned the floors, moving back and forth.
Miyu continued dusting unenthusiastically. "You know what we should be doing? We should be on the beach eating snow cones and splashing water with our friends. That would be really nice." Miyu said dreamily as she dusted Kanata's face by mistake.
"What are you doing?" Kanata, asked annoyed.
Miyu stopped dusting Kanata's face.
"What were you doing standing where I was dusting anyway?" Miyu asked, unapologetic and ever willing to pick a fight.
They both stared at each other hard, their eyebrows almost meeting at the process, before turning away to go back to their chores. The temple hall was quiet except for the sound of Miyu's dusting and Kanata's footsteps as he wiped the hall way until they heard a sound almost as if an air plane was taxing in their backyard. The teens left their cleaning and went outside. They watched as Seiya's space ship started landing.
"Seiya?" The two said unison.
"Seiya!" Ruu chirped as he flew to Miyu and Kanata, who were watching the space ship's touchdown.
"I wonder if he ran away from home again." Wannya said instinctively.
The space ship finally landed with its door opening to reveal its only passenger.
"Hi everyone!" Seiya greeted.
"Seiya! Did you run away from home again? Rui might come down here again! If you know what's best for you just go home! We're not taking you in this time!" Miyu shouted to be heard.
Seiya suddenly appeared in front of Miyu, shaking both of her hands vigorously.
"It's been awhile Miyu! Huh? What's this? So, you and Kanata have been fighting again. Why doesn't that surprise me?" Seiya said out loud as he read Miyu's mind.
"So, how long do you plan to hold her hand like that?" Kanata asked as pointed Miyu's hands in Seiya's, a little bit annoyed.
Seiya let go of Miyu's hand as if it burnt him and laughed nervously.
"So why are you here?" Miyu asked, suspicious.
"Well, I certainly didn't run away from home this time. How could you think badly of me Miyu when I brought you some drinks?" Seiya teased.
Miyu kept a suspicious eye on him.
"I just came by for a visit. I kind of miss this place. And I think my timing's perfect too! It's very hot, right Miyu? I've got some ice cold drinks for everyone here!"
Seiya took out a can of Planet Sharaku's Specialty Iced tea and drew it near Miyu's face for her to see.
As if reading Miyu's thoughts, Seiya answered her question. "This is the Specialty Iced tea we have in Planet Sharaku! It's not only popular in my planet actually. Others from different planets enjoy this too! It's quite in demand, you know!"
Miyu eyed on the sweating can, tempted.
"Thank you for bringing us some, Seiya!" Wannya said as he took the bag of Planet Sharaku's Specialty Iced Tea from Seiya. "I'll just get us some glass and ice. Come on, Master Ruu."
In a blink of an eye, Miyu took one of the Iced Tea cans from the bag Wannya was holding. "I think I'll drink mine now! I'm parched!"
Miyu grasped the can. "It's so cold! So nice!" She added dreamily.
"Well! Taste it Miyu!" Seiya said excitedly.
Miyu snapped the can open and drank everything in one gulp. She burped as she finished her fill.
"So what do you think of it Miyu? It's good isn't it? Although I wouldn't suggest that you drink it bottoms-up." Seiya scratched his cheek with his finger as if he was itching.
Miyu's head dropped down, her bangs covering most of her face.
"Hiccup."
Kanata, Seiya and Wannya looked at Miyu, surprised by her initial reaction to the drink.
"I don't like the sound of that." Kanata said as he shook Miyu's shoulders gently.
"Miyu, are you okay?" Kanata asked.
Kanata looked at Seiya for answers. "What's in that drink, Seiya?" He demanded.
Seiya's face turned to one filled with worry. "I don't know! I don't know what's happening. In my planet, nothing like this ever happens."
"Hiccup."
"Seiya, we're not in your planet." Kanata shot a glare at Seiya.
"Mama?" Ruu said as he flew to Miyu, pulling some of her hair strands gently to call her attention.
Miyu's face, arms and legs started turning red.
"I'll check the contents of this drink in Ruu's carriage to know what's happening to Miyu." Wannya said thinking fast. He took Ruu with him as he propelled his tail to Ruu's room.
"Mama!" Ruu cried, squirming out of Wannya's firm hold of him.
"Master Ruu, Miyu will be okay but you've got to help me figure this out so you'd better come with me."
Ruu seemed to understand what Wannya was trying to tell him and no longer resisted.
"Get Miyu to the kitchen in the meantime, you two. Give her some water that's the safest thing we can do for now." Wannya instructed before he disappeared in sight.
Kanata nodded.
"Miyu, let's get you to the kitchen." Kanata said as he approached Miyu to assist her to the kitchen.
"I'm rally sorry, Miyu! I didn't know…" Seiya was cut by Miyu.
"I don't understand why everyone's so worried! I'm okay!" Miyu said hyperactively, giving them a thumbs-up.
Seiya and Kanata looked at her dumbfounded. Her face was flushed.
"Let's take you to the kitchen, Miyu." Kanata said, sweat dropping behind his head.
Miyu skipped happily to Seiya.
"Seiya! It's been so long!" Miyu said patting him on the back hard, Seiya's lungs almost flew out in the open "It's nice seeing you not pretending to be Kanata! You nearly kissed me that other time!"
Seiya looked at Kanata nervously, whose eyebrow was twitching. "I don't want to hear the rest of this."
"Miyu! I'm very sorry! I don't know what went wrong! Please forgive me!" Seiya said as he bowed before Miyu.
"Why are you saying sorry Seiya? I'm fine! Maybe you're the one who's not okay. There's like ten of you here."
Miyu started counting in the air. "One. Two. Three."
Seiya looked at Kanata tearfully. "What's happening to Miyu?"
"How should I know?" Kanata answered blankly.
"And did I hear that right? You walk around pretending you're me?" Kanata crossed his arms.
Seiya could only choke a laugh.
"Oh no! I've got it all wrong! There are twelve of you in here Seiya! Is this like Ruu's cold? We have to put you back together then before it's too late!" She exclaimed.
"Miyu, get a hold of yourself!" Kanata said as he shook her shoulders again.
"Kanata?" Miyu said, a serious tone on her voice. "Oh no! You're multiplying too! And if you're multiplying, that means… that means…"
Miyu did a pose with her finger pointing to Kanata. "You're an alien too!"
Seiya and Kanata's mouths gaped.
"Kanata! How could you have kept this secret from me!" Miyu cried out.
Seiya and Kanata blinked in disbelief.
Miyu put her hand under her chin. "But I've got to hand it to you, Kanata, you've fooled Wannya, Ruu and I. You really got talent there."
Miyu fell on the floor comically. "What has my life gotten to? I live in a house amongst aliens! Maybe they're just tricking me and come full moon…"
Miyu's imagination bubble pops out. It was a scene where Wannya, Ruu and Kanata show their fangs and Miyu was cornered.
Kanata pricked the bubble. "This is getting out of hand."
Miyu started swinging sideways. Kanata rushed to her side before she fell to the ground.
"Wow! It' must be a really strong earthquake." Miyu said, slurring her words, while her head spun. "I hate roller coasters. Make it stop!"
Kanata looked confused, not sure whether he should worry or laugh at the incongruity of Miyu's thoughts.
"I am again truly sorry about what's happening." Seiya said as he flooded the place with waterfall tears. "I really don't know what's wrong."
Kanata took Miyu's arm and placed it around his neck. He held Miyu's waist and pulled her close. "Can you walk, Miyu?"
"My head aches." Miyu complained.
Kanata's eyes widened as Miyu spoke. 'Hey I know this smell. It's…'
