Chapter 3
(A/N: Happy New Year 2015 ! Charu Thanks for the review ! hope you will enjoy next chapters :) )
-"We are landing in Tokyo.. Please tighten your seatbelts.."
Miyu and Ed were among the passengers. So many things happened, so fast. Miyu flashed all incidents in mind. Her parents did not come home back next day. Their phones were also switched off. When she was all mad, out of the blue a message came from her mom, 'come to Tokyo, we are here. Very important.' Puzzled, she told everything to Ed to seek his help. Ed also had not any deal at the moment, at least upto his joining to college. So he decided to come with Miyu. He had never visited Japan, so for him it was a great holiday, indeed.
"So from here, we are to go by train ?" Ed asked, excited.
"yep, sorry we live in a small town, you better say, countryside." Miyu smiled.
"Well, later" Ed held her hand, " first I have to eat something.. God am literally starving!"
"Oh sorry, sure."
After eating, on Ed's curiosity, they decided to walk some way to watch the city a while. Consciously or unconscious, Ed held Miyu's hand. She also did not say a word.

"SANTA! STOP!" Kanata yelled.
"Eh? We just started!"
Kanata was gasping literally. He shouted,"Why we were here ?"
"Well? Umm.. Oh yes, the university entrance exam.. but that is over! Is not it ?" Santa asked, with that irritating innocent look.
"And I think that means we can go back home now ?" Kanata asked with a killer look.
Suddenly Santa was at the verge of crying, " oh please Kanata ! Just two more shops.. you know these cassettes are really rare, and not all the time you have chance to visit Tokyo !"
Kanata shrugged. "Well, this is last. Then am going, leaving you."
Santa went on frantically searching for a store, Kanata was so fatigued he wanted to sit somewhere.. he just stopped walking and took some rest.
Eh ? Is that-
His heart skipped a beat as he watched a very familiar face for a while amidst the crowd other side. He could not but run toward that direction.

"KANATA!" exclaimed Santa, "Where the hell had you gone ? Look what I got! 'The making of the legends- story behind Tofu-Man' ! Just imagine what a collective.. It's one of the best things in my library!" He said without breath, then just became concerned, looking the face of his best friend, "Kanata ? What's the matter ?"
"Eh?" Kanata was like out of a dream.
"Where were you all the time? It's time for train.."
"Yes" suddenly Kanata's voice turned firm, "Let's go."
Santa knew he would not answer, as usual. But somewhere he felt something was wrong..
######################################
Heiomachi.
"So this is where you used to live?" Ed was really excited.
Miyu barely answered. She was so much overwhelmed with feelings. This was the station.. four years ago, an afternoon at this place ..
# FLASHBACK#
Rail station, Heiomachi. 4 years ago. Aya, Nanami, Nozumu, Santa, Christine, Mizuki, Mikan... even Miss Mizuno was there.
Miyu and her parents were leaving. Yuu and Hosho were crying like baby, a little irritating, but that depressed others too.
Where's Kanata?
He was not here. Even Hosho got disappointed. "That son of mine... manner-less." Every friend was half minded whether it was his reluctance or he could not stand the separation watching. They never got to know.
But, Miyu got. While the train was leaving, from glass window she watched someone like Kanata, with a girl. And as soon as she tried to look harder, a heavy rain blurred all the views. She could never forget that moment. That's why Kanata was not there to see her off ! She was so much hurt- just like something breaking inside her, and she never tried to contact Japan again..
# END OF FLASHBACK#
Miyu sighed. She tried, but somewhere it remained..the very fondness. Time,as it passed, and the hectic schedule suppressed everything, but that night.. some memories haunt when you are alone.
She looked by her side, at the jolly face of Edward, who was busy shuttering with the new camera.
Thanks, Ed. she did not know why those words came to her mind.
(A/N: I know it is very slow.. sorry I will try harder for next chapter. please review..)
