Chapter 4

The storm was over. It's yet to sunrise. The sky is clear. A divine pre-sunrise light is surrounded the world. Everywhere, everybody is quiet.

Miyu stood up at last. She could not close her two eyes after the incident. Gently she walked to the window, looked outside. No trace of yesterday's nightmare; just everything is wet and trees here and there are in deplorable condition.

She came out, stopped by Kanata's room. With firm hands, she knocked on the door.

No answer.

She knocked again, "open up,idiot. I know you're awake."

A few seconds, and Kanata opened the door. He couldn't look at her eyes.

"Sorry" he uttered slowly.

"Come with me!" she grabbed his hand, and dragged him out of the temple.

Now they were walking in temple premises. Through the yard, then on the temple bell steps.

"What do you want?" Kanata could not but ask at last.

Miyu stopped two steps up in front of him.

"Look, am terribly sorry for..yesterday. I don't know what I did..."

Miyu started walking up again.

"Hey.." Kanata followed her. He thought she would cry, scream, act violently, but that she's so solemnly quiet worried him most.

"That would never ever happen.." Kanata keep convincing, "If you feel unsafe.. I am ready to leave till you are here. Don't worry I'll give a good reason for Ruu.."

They were up. Miyu stopped at his last words, looked back, came near him, and-

SLAP!

Kanata touched his cheek just slapped on. He felt somehow relieved. At last she's reacting.

Miyu went to the other side. The sun is rising. Drops of water are falling through the large bell. Kanata shivered in the cold wind a bit.

Staring at the Sun she took a deep breath, then faced him.

"I love you."

She said, but it was not as she planned. Her both cheeks went red hot, heart beating so fast.. but she made it. In real.

"Nani?"

Kanata could not believe his ears. A mix of emotions ran through his face within a moment.

Miyu continued, fixing her eyes on the ground, and keeping it as calm as possible, "and you.."

"Look, what happened yesterday was just a moment's weakness.. I just lost control of me.." Kanata knew he was in wrong pitch, but his mind wasn't working properly.

Her body shivered a bit, with a small sound, "I knew am not worth it".

A tear ran down her cheek, and she rushed to the steps down.

Crap am just ruining it..just be straight..

Kanata held her hand tight, stopping her, and forced her to face him.

"Does that mean I don't love you?"

She looked up in shock, still tears in those emerald eyes.

Kanata cupped her face, put his forehead touching her, nose on nose, and whispered, "It's always only you, baka.. your smile, your scent, your eyes.. that everytime mesmerize my senses, even in dreams.. wasn't I dreaming you even yesterday, holding just like this?" He stopped a bit, reminding last night, "I was always alone, and used to it. Then you came, I saw you, and realised how you are the best thing ever happened to me.."

Miyu was overwhelmed with emotions, sobbing.

"now, may I again.." Kanata smiled.

Left hand on her neck, caressing the blonde hair, and right one round her waist, Kanata kissed her. Their tongue played with each other, her breasts pressed against his chest, but nobody broke the embrace, time seemed infinite..

"Mamma..papa..?"

Kanata and Miyu slid apart suddenly, finding the toddler flying near the steps. Ruu flew to her mamma's lap.

"Ruu-chama.. wait.." Wanya's voice came, then he came up completely exhausted, "What are you two doing here? Ruu was so worried.."

"Mamma! Papa! ai! love!" Ruu tried to describe what he saw.

"Eh? "

Kanata and Miyu both turned red. Wanya looked puzzled, "what happened to you all? "

WANYA's DAILY DIARY: A great storm, followed by a sunny day. We had to clear the fallen woods. It was hectic, but everybody was so surprisingly calm. Is it only me, or really.. Kanata and Miyu seems too closer today?

"Ai! "
