Hello, and sorry for the horrible 2-months delay I had with this story! I just happened to have a horrible writer's block, but I hope that this chapter will give you even a bit satisfaction!
Since I've already read the raws of the new chapter, I apologize for not writing according the real storyline. I liked my theory more but it turned out that I wasn't right. (Like someone would actually read my rambling) But anyway, please read this!
Kanon-chan's show was just awesome; the way she combined her skills, magic and music were almost heavenly. She threw some fire balls into the air and drew a picture with them. She let the fire fall and she danced as she dodged each one of the fires. Next she created a mini-blizzard into the garden. With just moving her left hand a bit, she changed the snow into a pack of lilies. When she started singing, the lilies changed into ghostly instruments and they started playing a beautiful melody that suddenly formed into pictures. There were pictures of me, Kanon-chan, Hyuuga and Ayanami-sama and some other people whom Kanon-chan seemed to know. Kanon-chan's song was warm and the pictures were so happy. Suddenly I started feeling very sleepy.
The last thing I remembered was the soft song and beautiful playing of the instruments.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was something lavender-colored and misty. In fact, there were two of these misty and lavender-colored things. I stared at them and I felt that they stared at me. I reached out to my glasses and I felt that someone gave them to me. I put them on my face and saw that the two lavender-colored and misty things had actually been Kanon-chan's eyes. We stared at each other for a while before either of us opened our mouth.
"What's the time?" I whispered. "Am I late?"
"You're always asking that", Kanon laughed. She had changed into a white dress shirt and black trousers. She was also wearing a bit oversized butler's vest. I bet that it was one of Fubuki's old vests. Her hair was tied up very prettily in braids and topknots. There was also some stick in her hair for keeping the hairdo together. "It's eleven o'clock in the morning. You're not late. Fubuki-san said that he can get some food for you when you wake up because you were obviously very tired. It was so cute sight to see when he carried you all the way to your room. You looked like a sleeping little kid who was being carried by his parent…"
I felt a heat rising into my cheeks. Kanon-chan must've seen it too since she smiled very evilly. When I looked at her expression, I felt like I wanted to run away from her but seeing as I was still lying in my bed I just didn't want to move.
"You're so cute when you're blushing, Yuki", Kanon said and smiled her usual gentle smile. "Actually you're cute, whatever you're doing."
I felt that the heat on my cheeks was even hotter now. I truly was embarrassed and tried to hide it.
"…I think that you should get up before Hyuuga finds me here", Kanon whispered. "He'd surely make up some things and we'd both be so embarrassed."
"You're right", I mumbled. "I'm getting up…NOW!"
I forced myself to get up. Oh, how I hated mornings. I walked to my wardrobe to get some clothes and bumped into its door that had been left open. Looks like I'd hate doors too.
"I'll get out", Kanon whispered. I looked at her and saw a faint blush on her cheeks. For a second I couldn't understand why she was blushing. After thinking about it a bit, I realized that she was a girl so of course she would be embarrassed to see me changing my clothes. I laughed a bit to my stupidity. My brain didn't seem to be functioning well that morning.
When I had changed my clothes, I got out of my room. I tried to as invisible as I ever could when I slipped into the kitchen. The first person I saw was Fubuki who was repairing something.
"You look horrible, Yukikaze", he laughed when I walked next to him. "Did you sleep well?"
"I think so", I answered. "I didn't see any dreams…"
"Is that a good or a bad thing?" Fubuki asked with his trademark laugh. I crouched down next to him and gave him a screwdriver.
"I think that it's good for me…" I mumbled with a blank expression. "When I have some kind of dreams they are usually nightmares…"
Fubuki looked at me with an unreadable expression. Then he stood up and got a frying pan into his hand and some eggs into another one. As for agreeing, my stomach let out a noise that easily told Fubuki that I was indeed very hungry. Fubuki chuckled and told me to sit there and wait for my food. I nodded obediently and went to sit on one of the chairs. After watching Fubuki playing with the food for few minutes, I got an incredibly good breakfast in front of me. I almost attacked it as soon as I got it since I was so hungry.
"Remember that you can't eat too fast or you'll choke", Fubuki laughed. As soon as he said that, I was about to choke on an egg and he laughed at me. "You've always been like that! You never listen to me… Although I think that it's a good thing for you…" He smiled somehow sadly and looked down. Suddenly he looked at the door with an annoyed expression.
"Hyuuga, you can't say it!" I heard Kanon-chan yelling. "It wasn't meant for your ears! You're always ruining everything right in front of me! STOP IT!"
There was a loud sound of something cracking into something wooden and the door to the kitchen creaked open. I saw Kanon-chan standing there next to Hyuuga who was lying on the floor, unconscious. She was shaking and her face was blushing very deeply.
"Why are you always teasing me like that?" She whispered with thick voice. "You're always ruining everything… Always…"
Kanon-chan turned away and started running. I left my breakfast there and followed her. I even stepped on Hyuuga when I left the room. (I did that because I didn't see him.) I followed Kanon-chan to the hall and upstairs. When we had reached the top, I realized that I hadn't stepped on the last stair and that I was falling over backwards. I let out a surprised yell as I looked where I was falling. Suddenly I felt a horrible pain in my left shoulder when I hit the landing of the staircase.
"Are you alright?" Kanon asked and ran to see if I was wounded. "Did you break anything?"
"I…I don't think so", I whispered with a horribly thick voice. "I'm still alive, am I not?"
"You're still alive but your shoulder doesn't look good", Kanon said with a worried tone. "It looks like it went to dislocation…"
"You had to tell me that?" I asked with my voice so thick that I wouldn't find it weird if she couldn't have understood what I said. I sat up and looked at the ceiling.
"…You idiot!" Kanon said suddenly. "You're always getting hurt and then you smile like nothing ever happened to you! You're a horrible idiot!"
I stared at Kanon with a surprised expression. Then I started laughing. It felt so good to laugh like that. I wasn't releasing my stress like I usually did when I laughed. I was laughing and I really had fun. It was so fun to see Kanon-chan's puzzled expression that I just laughed more. Her eyes were so wide that she looked like a little puppy that had no clue about what was going on.
"Why are you laughing?" Kanon asked.
"I don't know", I laughed. "It just feels so good to laugh. I haven't laughed like this for so long time…"
"And now you're going to get patched up, Yuki", I heard Fubuki saying behind me. He easily lifted me up and placed me on his shoulder. He carried me to his room and dropped me on his chair. H took out some patches and started looking at my shoulder.
"How in the world did you do this, Yuki?" Fubuki mumbled.
"I fell", I answered.
"And how in the world did you fall?" Fubuki asked.
"I… Don't know…" I said.
"You've always been like that", Fubuki said and smiled his sad smile again. "When you were little you used to get hurt so much and I always patched you up." He did something to my arm and suddenly there was that same pain again and then I felt that my arm was in its original place again.
"How did you do that?" I asked.
"I need to know how to do things like that because you are so clumsy", Fubuki said. "You're always getting hurt and then grinning so widely… I think that you have gotten some kind of infection from Hyuuga…"
"I haven't!" I said. "I'll never be infected by that idiot!"
"You're saying that but you're becoming more and more like him", Fubuki mumbled. "Please don't become a person like that idiot."
"I'll never do that", I grinned.
