Chapter Three point Five: Misunderstandings
A/N: I am so sorry I haven't updated for the last.. few months or so. I guess I've lost all my readers :( But anyway, here's my latest chapter. I hope there would still be someone somewhere, willing to read this garbage. Hm, I'm pretty sure my writing style has improved a little over time. So I hope you'd think the wait would be worth it all. Reviews please ! :D

Kanata sighed, and put his hand over his face. "I guess we have no choice now, do we?" He said with a surprisingly calm tone. "Sheesh, I'm going to bed." Then he stormed off to his room.
"I'm so sorry, Miyu-san," The pet-sitter said with regret evident on his face. "I shouldn't have been as careless as I was," He humbly bowed his head in apology. "I hope you'd be able to forgive me soon," Wanya said.
"Wanya.." Miyu used her most gentle tone. "It's okay, I forgive you." Wanya looked up at Miyu with joy in his eyes. "And I'm sure Kanata would forgive you too," She smiled at the pet-sitter. "And anyway, it might be real fun! Being with a celebrity and all," Miyu continued cheerfully.
"Oh, Miyu-san!" Wanya kneeled, and wrapped his arms tightly around Miyu's waist. "You're so kind," Miyu felt her sweater getting soaked in with his tears. "Thank you! I promise nothing like this would ever happen again as long as I live," He remorsed.
The dramatic little thing.
"Yeah!" Miyu agreed. "Uh, Wanya, please get up. This is really embarassing.." Miyu said blushing a little. Wanya suddenly realized his position, and immediately got up.
"S-sorry Miyu-san!" Sorry seems to be the Word Of The Day today. "I-if you don't mind, I'll just go over to Luu's room to check up on him," He bowed again, transformed into his normal (A/N: Haha, 'normal'.) form, and went on his way.
Miyu was now all alone in the hallway. She looked at the clock.
'Wow, 11 pm already. What an exciting day today was..' Miyu thought. Suddenly remembering her previous dilemma. 'Shoot. I totally forgot about Andrew,' She unconsciously started walking towards Kanata's room, then suddenly snapped out of it right when she was in front of his door. 'What the? Why would I want to go inside that jerk's room?' She thought angrily. Miyu sighed. 'I'd better get some sleep. It's so late already,' Then suddenly, the door slid open. Kanata peered out with a worried expression;
"K-Kanata!" Miyu said, surprised.
"Is something still bothering you?" He asked. Miyu looked away.
"Even if there was, you would just make fun of me if I told you," She said acidly, and turned away.
"Sorry." Kanata said. Yet another apology. Miyu looked at him. "I'm sorry if I make fun of you," He continued. "It's not like I mean to do it. I guess it's just how I am," Kanata took one step closer to Miyu. "I'm just not used to worrying about anyone like this that's why I react this way." He looked away, aware and embarrassed of how red his face was turning.
'He's worried about me?' Miyu was deeply touched by his words. She sighed again.
"Really?" She didn't know what else to say. "I should apologize, too" Miyu said. "All this time I've been acting so selfishly, just getting angry all the time, not even thinking of the other person's feelings," She added thoughtfully.
Kanata smiled. A cute, boyish kind of smile. "Okay, that's enough mushy talk." He said, returning to his normal self. But somehow kinder. "Tell me what's wrong." He turned serious.
"Well, I just don't know what to do!" Miyu practically yelled. "What if Andrew does show? What do I say? What do I do? What if he asks me to go back?" She just kept going on and on, and Kanata was listening. Really listening.
"To go back?" Kanata echoed.
"I don't want to go back there anymore," Miyu felt tears stinging her eyes, and blurring her vision, so she lolled her head back slightly to stop them from coming out. "I like it better here," She continued. "Please. Tell me what to do,"
Kanata was quiet for a moment. He was letting everything sink in.
"Mama.. Papa.." Luu flew into Miyu's arms, then looked at both of them worriedly. Perhaps he thought they were fighting.
"Luu.. I didn't notice you come out of your room," Miyu said gently. "Are you hungry?"
Luu shook is his head. "Did we wake you?" It was Kanata who asked. Luu shook his head again.
"Miyu, it's late. We'd better go to bed now," Kanata stated. "We'll talk about this in the morning," He said. "So just go to sleep, and don't worry about that Andrew guy. We'll find a way to solve things when it happens, okay?" His tone was so reassuring.
"Okay then," Miyu said. Kanata turned and walked towards his room, "Oh, and Kanata.." Miyu called out.
"Hm?" He looked at Miyu. She looked so happy.
"Thanks." She said. His heart leaped. She looked so pretty when she smiled like that.
"Sure, anytime." His cheeks reddened a little. "Good night, Miyu."
"Good night." Miyu replied and started to walk to her room with Luu still in her arms. "Hey, Luu. Do you want to sleep beside mama tonight?" She asked, a little amused of how normal it is for her now to be called mama.
Luu nodded happily.
When Miyu got to her room, she fixed her futon with her left hand, and carried Luu with her right. Then she carefully put Luu down, and made sure he was comfortable. She hummed him a lullaby, and patiently waited for him to sleep. She followed.
The next day..
"Rise and shine, sunshine!" Kanata yelled at the sleeping Miyu. "Don't want to be late now, honey," He continued.
Miyu suddenly sat up. "Luu?! Where's Luu?" She asked. Kanata squatted in front of Miyu, and tapped her head. "Luu woke up earlier than you, idiot," He said flatly.
Miyu stared blankly at Kanata. "Baka."
All of a sudden, Kanata started laughing. "W-what's so funny?!" Miyu asked defensively.
Kanata wiped a teardrop that developed in his eye caused by too much laughter. "Nothing," He said. "Now get up already, sleepy head" He teased. "And don't trip on your way," He said with a smirk. Then he stood up, and exited Miyu's room. Then Luu came flying in.
"Mama!" Luu said with a big hug.
"Good morning Luu," Miyu said as she stood up.
And the rest goes on as follows:
Eating breakfast together. Washing the dishes together. Brushing their teeth together. And dressing up together.
"Bye Kanata-kun, Miyu-san!" Wanya waved from the doorway. "Have a great day!"
"Ja ne!" The two said in unison.
