flashback
"I got invited to the Annual Heiomachi Music Festival!!!!"
"Ahh!!"
"Miyu!"
"How are you really feeling?"
"Awful."
"I'll be here with you, and I won't let anything happen to you."
end of flashback
As soon as the words escaped my lips, I fell apart and cried into Kanata's shirt. He rubbed my back and told me that everything was going to be ok. But how could it be ok? I'm...blind. But still, I felt so safe and secure in his arms. It felt like what he said was true, nothing could come near me and hurt me. After crying my eyes out a little more, I suddenly realized what I was doing and snapped out of his hold, regrettably.
"Err, sorry about that." I said as I wiped the tears around my face with my sleeve.
"It's okay." he grumbled.
Silence filled the air as neither of us could speak. The sound that snapped us out of our trance was the clock, chiming to inform us that it was 6.
"I better go, it's getting late. You'll be fine right?" he said.
"Eh? He's...leaving?" I thought.
When no response came out of the blonde, Kanata added, "I have to go back or Ruu will throw a tantrum."
"Oh, right. Uh, yea. I'll be fine." I replied.
"Okay, I'll come visit tomorrow." he said as he started to leave.
"Yeah, bye." I unwilling said. I really wanted him to stay and hold me longer. But just as I thought he had left like that, he didn't. He gave me a big and quick hug before saying "Goodbye." and rushing out the door.
I was shocked, yet happy at this sudden contact. "Why?" I thought. "You don't do that to me and then just leave. Idiot."
Unknown to the blonde, Kanata was right outside her doorway, face flushed like a bright red tomato and his heart was racing so fast that he thought it might jump out of his body and run away. The doctor passed by, recognizing Kanata, he bowed. Kanata remembered who he was and bowed before speaking.
"Umm, you're Miyu Kouzuki's doctor right?" he said.
"Yes, and you are her friend I believe." the doctor replied.
"Yea. Err, I was wondering about her condition?" Kanata asked.
"Oh, well as I said, she just needs to rest up for a while. She should be fine." he stated.
"Well, how soon is a while?" he asked.
"Two weeks, three weeks at most." the doctor said.
"Oh, I see. Thank you for taking up you're time. Goodnight." Kanata said while politely bowing.
"It's no problem." he said as he started to walk away "Goodnight."
"Two weeks?! But, what about her concert?" thought Kanata, distress written all over his face. "Did she hear any of that?"
He quietly opened the door to find Miyu sleeping peacefully. "Hmm." He carefully closed the door and left.
~~~back at home~~~
"Master Kanata, how was Miyu?" Wanya asked.
"Oh, she's going to be fine. She just needs to stay in the hospital for a while." he replied.
"Daa." Ruu said grumpily.
"Oh, sorry Ruu. We can go visit her tomorrow so behave okay." Kanata said as he ruffled the alien baby's hair.
"That's right, Ruu-chama. Behave, Miyu would be upset if you weren't." Wanya added.
"Daa." Ruu replied slightly unwillingly.
~~~the next day~~~
Miyu fell into a deep slumber last night from all the "exciting" activity. She didn't get up until around the afternoon. She got changed and washed up with the help of the nurses.
"I'll be back soon with your lunch okay, ." the nurse said.
"Sure, thanks." Miyu politely said.
When the nurse left, Miyu heaved a big sigh. She didn't want to be angry at the nurses because they were just doing their jobs, but Miyu hated this. She didn't like the fact that she couldn't do anything by herself and needed the help of everyone.
Suddenly, the door slammed open and a figure rushed into Miyu's arms. "Daa!"
"Ruu?" Miyu said shocked.
"Daa!" Ruu said happily.
"Aw, I missed you so much!" the blonde said while giving the little baby a giant hug. "Were you behaving last night."
"Daa." replied Ruu.
"Ruu-chama! P-please don't use your p-powers here." said a panting young man.
"Wanya?" Miyu said.
"Oh, Miss Miyu, how are you?" said Wanya.
"I'm fine, where's Kanata?" asked Miyu.
"He-" started Wanya "I'm right here." Kanata cooly replied.
"Oh." Miyu said slightly blushing.
"So, how are you feeling?" he asked as he and Wanya came towards her bedside.
"I'm fine, I guess." she replied.
"Have you eaten lunch yet Miss Miyu." Wanya asked.
"Not yet, they're about to bring it." she stated.
"Oh, well, we brought some food over too. In case you don't like the hospital food." Wanya said while starting to unpack a bag.
"Wow, Wanya. I'm surprised you would know about that." Miyu said tilting her head.
"Actually, it was Master Kanata who informed me of this." he said looking at the brunette.
"Really?" she said trying to find him.
He went up to her and grabbed her arm before she fell. "Yea." he mumbled.
Miyu giggled slightly at this. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking and eating Wanya's delicious snacks.
"I'm going to go." Kanata said.
"Huh?" Miyu said shocked.
"To the bathroom, baka." he replied sticking his tongue out.
"Oh." she said blushing.
After he left, Wanya said "Master Kanata has been acting kind of strange since yesterday."
"Really?" Miyu said.
"Yes. He was making some odd call last night." Wanya replied.
flashback
Wanya came out of the bathroom and headed towards the kitchen to grab a drink before heading off to bed. He stopped when he heard Kanata whispering into the phone. Not wanting to interrupt, he stayed outside until Kanata finished. He couldn't hear all the words Kanata said because he was whispering.
"............ Kanata Saionji, Miyu ........ Yes this is about the........festival......... accident.....she can...play..But-...I see. I'm sorry for bothering you..... Yes, okay. Good night."
Kanata heaved a sigh and closed the lights and started to head for his room. Wanya quickly went to hide. After Kanata left, Wanya went to the kitchen, grabbed a drink and headed for his room. "I wonder what that was about." he thought.
end of flashback
Before Miyu could say something, Kanata came back.
"We better go back, it's getting dark." he said.
"Okay." Wanya said "Let's go Ruu-chama."
"Daa!" Ruu said still holding on to his earth mother.
"Ruu. Be a good boy and go back with Kanata and Wanya." she said.
"Daa." Ruu said sadly.
"I'll be fine Ruu. Go home." she said softly.
"Daa." Ruu unwillingly replied as he let go.
"I'll be back tomorrow, okay." Kanata said.
"Sure. Good night. Take care." she said.
"Night." he replied.
"Good night Miss Miyu." Wanya said.
"Daa" said Ruu.
~~~ the next morning~~
Miyu got up early without realizing it. The bed and environment was uncomfortable. It was a wonder how she got any sleep the other night. She reached for her little table stand to get up. She felt her way across the room to her window and opened the blinds letting the warm sun bathe the room in a luminous yellow light. She went back to her bedside and realized that there was a vase of flowers on her table. She bent down to pick them up and lift them to her face so she could smell them. A sudden voice outside made Miyu's ears perk up.
"Did you hear about that girl who got admitted here recently?"
"Oh, the one that got temporarily blinded?"
"Yeah, did you hear that she was suppose to play at that Music Festival or something?"
"Oh yeah, the poor thing. I heard that she's going to be hospitalized for at least two weeks."
"But you'd think a good musician would take care of themselves."
The voices began to grow softer as the nurses walked further down the hallway.
Miyu was speechless and she began to lose her mind and her grip on the vase. She dropped the vase and it shattered on the floor, leaving a puddle of water, glass and flowers. She couldn't stand and fell to the floor on her knees.
Outside, our brunette was coming to visit Miyu when he heard the crash come from inside the room. Worried about his blonde, he rushed in. "Miyu!"
He breathed a slight sigh of relief to see her still in one piece. He observed the scene and immediately went to her side, bent down and started to pick up the pieces of glass. "What happended Miyu?" he asked thinking that it was just her usual clumsiness. But when he didn't get a reply, he started to worry. "Miyu?"
The girl took a deep breath and spoke. "Kanata? Is it true?"
"What? Is what true?" he asked.
"That I can't play in the festival!" she shouted.
Kanata flinched. "How did she?" he thought.
"Tell me." she said as tears started to flow out. "Tell me, that i-it's not true."
Silence.
"I wish I could." he finally said.
It was Miyu's turn to flinch. "Y-you mean you knew?! And you didn't tell me?" she said sobbing.
"I-I'm sorry."
Everyone stayed still for a moment as if time stopped. Finally Miyu tried to stand up. Immediately, Kanata tried to help her up, but she slapped his hands away. "Go." she said slightly stuttering as she turned her back to him.
Kanata wanted to say something. Anything. But nothing came out. He couldn't see her expression, but he could tell from her vibe that there was probably nothing he could say at the moment. So he left.
As soon as Miyu heard the door click shut and Kanata walk away, she started to cry uncontrollably. "Why?! Why is this happening to me? It's so unfair."
~~~back at the temple~~~
"That was fast, Master Kanata. How was she?" Wanya asked.
"Oh, she was... fine I guess." Kanata replied.
"I see. So can we all visit her tomorrow? Ruu has been grumpy all day because he couldn't go." Wanya said.
"Oh, uh, sure." Kanata said.
"Are you okay, Master Kanata?" asked a concerned Wanya.
"Yea, I'm fine." Kanata said while walking away.
"What in the world is going on with Master Kanata?" thought Wanya.
A deep sigh escaped the brunette's lips as he closed his door. "I should have told her. I'm such an idiot. I made her cry again. What am I going to do?" he thought.
He was racking his brain for a solution and when it seemed like he was going to give up, an idea struck him. "I got it!"
He quickly and quietly wen to the kitchen to make another call. After his call, he was satisfied and content. "I hope this makes her happy."
~~~ at the hospital the next day ~~~
Miyu woke groggily, tired and sleepy. She cried herself to sleep last night, but woke up in the middle of night and was unable to fall back to sleep again.
"Mama!" a voice said.
"Ruu." she said smiling slightly.
"How are you feeling, Miss Miyu?" Wanya asked.
"Fine." she lied.
"Really?" said Kanata.
Miyu gasped and her heart started to race. She didn't know what to say or do. She felt terrible for getting angry at him yesterday. He was part of the reason why she coldn't go back to sleep.
"Hey." she simply replied.
"Hi." he said slightly disappointed. "Is she still mad at me?"
Wanya could feel the tension in the room and for once he decided to do something.
"I'm going to take Ruu-chama to the washroom. Master Kanata, take care of Miss Miyu." Wanya said while pulling the little alien baby out of his earth mother's arms.
This time, Ruu actually went quietly along because he too could feel the tension in the room and he wanted his parents to make up. Silence filled the air as the two aliens left.
"I'm s-" they both started at the same time
"No, you go." again simultaneously.
Awkward.
"I'm sorry." Kanata said.
"Huh?" Miyu replied.
"I did't mean to keep it a secret from you. I just didn't want to make you cry again." he said.
"I'm sorry too." she said.
"For what?" he asked.
"For getting mad at you. I wasn't realy. I was just frusrated at the whole thing and I took it out on you. Sorry." she said.
"So, I guess we're both the idiots at fault." he said.
"Hey, speak for yourself." she said.
Kanata began laughing and was soon joined by Miyu.
"Hey." Miyu said "Will you help me up? I want to go outside. I've been stuck in here for two days."
"Sure." he said smiling.
Miyu put her arms on Kanata's shoulders. But to her surprise, he lifted her up bridal style causing her to wrap her arms around his neck so she would'nt fall.
"W-what are you doing idiot?!" she exclaimed.
"Helping you, of course." he said as calmly as ever.
"I can walk by myself!" she said.
"Oh, so you want me to drop you, okay." he teased.
"No!" she said "Idiot."
"You know, you shouldn't call the person who's holding you up in the air an idiot." he stated.
"You-you better not! Kanata!" she squealed.
Kanata started laughing and "accidently" losing his grip on her causing her to shriek even more.
"Miyu!" said two voices as the door swung open. This stopped the two teens from joking around.
"Mom?" Miyu said.
So what we are left with is a confused Miyu, a shocked pair of parents and Kanata with one thing repeating in his mind "Crap! I'm screwed."
