Chapter Two: Saving Miyu…

Flashback

It was already nearing evening as it was getting dark, more noises were heard and the wind was blowing harder than before…

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kanata was shocked, he could still feel Christine holding his arm but not someone clutching his shirt…

"MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Kanata shouted.

"KANATA! HELP! OVER HERE!" Kanata tried to search where the sound came from, until... it lead him to a deep well, there, he looked down below and saw Miyu, crying.

"MIYU!"

End Flashback

"Miyu! Are you alright? Wait there! I'll look for a way to get you out of this damn well!" Kanata shouted, hints of fear were heard from his voice.

"Hurry! This well is scary!" Miyu screamed. She excluded the fact that her head was throbbing painfully and her left arm was giving her vicious stings.

"Wait!" Don't move!" Kanata said.

"Hurry hurry!" Miyu screamed yet again. It was obvious she was trying to fight back sobs.

Christine looked at Kanata, then she whispers to herself, "Wow, I didn't know that Kanata was that caring, or maybe... only to ... MIYU?" Then she began to shake her head, "Stop thinking things like that Christine! It's only natural for them because they're cousins!"

Kanata searched around for a rope or a vine or a piece of big log to help him get Miyu out but found nothing. Then he remembered something! "Hanakomachi! Can you check your backpack if there's a rope or something in there?" Kanata asked optimistically.

Christine checked her bag and blushed as she gave him the rope. (A/N: She has a rope! Wow...)

As soon as Miyu reached the top of the well, Kanata gave her a quick hug, "Thanks Kanata!"

Kanata blushed but no one noticed since it was already night time.

His blushing didn't last long, because soon after that, Miyu closed her eyes. She buried her head into his chest as hey body became limp. She..fainted.

"MIYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Kanata shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Oh, my! What happened?" Christine said.

"She... she must have been tired of shouting, let's bring her somewhere safe..." Kanata said, while carrying Miyu bridal style.

Christine ignored that and blushed hearing the word "Let's".

Kanata carried Miyu to a big piece of wood, "Miyu..."

Christine followed the 'cousins' to the nearby wood, she sat on the floor and just continued looking at Kanata who was looking at Miyu worriedly. (A/N: Did you get that? It's like this… Christine-Kanata-Miyu. Alright?)

Kanata's POV

"This is all my fault... If only I had been looking at you every so often. I'm sorry Miyu. Please forgive me." Kanata thought wearily to himself.

End POV

"I'm sooo shy! Kanata and I alone... Miyu's sleeping... ooooh! How embarrassing! Alone... me and Kanata... "Christine whispered, shaking her head while blushing furiously. Kanata noticed this and sweatdropped.

Then Kanata, breaking the silence, said, "Alright! I'm going to get the firewood," With bangs covering his eyes.

"It's the least I can do for Miyu." He thought to himself.

"I'll come with you!" Christine said.

"NO! STAY WITH MIYU!" Kanata shouted.

"But-"

She couldn't finish her sentence, as she was cut off by Kanata.

"NO! STAY WITH MIYU!" Kanata repeated.

"But I-"

She couldn't finish as she was, again, cut off by Kanata.

"I SAID STAY WITH MIYU! OR DO YOU WANT IT THE OTHER WAY? YOU'LL GO AND SEACH FOR FIREWOOD AND I'LL STAY WITH HER?" Kanata shouted, obviously angered by Christine's words.

"Okay, I'll stay here... Take Care, Kanata." Christine said.

Kanata answered with a nod went in the woods again and started searching for some firewood.

Chris and Miyu

Miyu was quite moving now, "Uh... huh... nu... Ka-Kanata?"

Christine's eyes shot wide open, she's... searching for Kanata!

But she thought it was because they were 'cousins'.

"No Miyu, Kanata's not here." Christine answered Miyu.

Miyu looked at Christine with great confusion in her eyes.

"Wh... where is he?" Miyu asked.

Christine sighed and gave her a stop-worrying-about him look, "He went inside the forest to gather some firewood." She said.

"WHAT? IN THE DARK? I have to find him!" Miyu thought frantically.

Miyu tried to sit up. But as soon as she put weight on her left arm…

"OUCH!" Screamed Miyu. Then she fell back on the piece of wood again.

"MIYU!" Christine shouted worriedly. "I think your arm's broken! It must have been from the fall!" Assumed Christine worriedly.

"Let me check if I have some sort of bandage or anything in my backpack. Don't move, ok Miyu?" Christine said.

"A-alright…" Uttered Miyu as she sweatdropped. She was surprised that Christine was bringing stuff like that, even if she was only supposed to be at the Saionji Temple.

"Ummm… Christine… Why do you have those sorts of things even only to go to the temple?" Asked Miyu.

"You see, I had to bring these things so that I could take care of Kanata when he gets hurt or something!" Christine proudly said.

"You sound like his overprotective wife…" Miyu whispered to herself.

Unfortunately, Christine heared it.

"OH MIYU! DON'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT! BUT DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD MAKE A GOOD WIFE FOR KANATA? YOU WOULD KNOW RIGHT? SINCE YOU'RE HIS COUSIN? OH MIYU!" Christine hysterically said.

Miyu sweatdropped. But she flinched from pain as soon as Christine playfully hit her on her broken arm. Though Christine didn't seem to notice.

"ALL RIGHT! I HAVE SOME BANDAGES! MIYU, GIVE ME YOUR ARM!" Said Christine, obviously happy when Miyu said that she was an overprotective 'wife'.

As soon as Christine was bandaging her broken arm, Miyu tried to sit up. Although she flinched as she could still feel the stinging pain, it was less painful than before.

"Don't stand up Miyu! You'll make your arm worse!" Said Christine as she let Miyu lie back down on the piece of wood.

"I'm fine." Miyu said. She tried to sit up, trying not to put weight at her left arm.

But she had to. Or else she couldn't sit up, let alone stand.

She flinched yet again at the pain she felt when she put her weight on her left arm.

Miyu stood up, ignoring the ache she felt. She held Christine's wrist, "Let's look for him…"

"What? It's freaky in there! Let's just stay here and wait for him… " Christine practically shouted.

Miyu shook her head.

"Besides, you're still a little weak and your broken arm could get worse!" Christine added.

"But what about Kanata?" Miyu inquired.

"Don't worry… Nothing bad will happen to him! Besides, he can take care of himself!" Christine said with confidence. (A/N: Man! She really DOES sound like a wife…)

"A… alright…" Miyu said, flashing a fake smile to Christine.

Christine beamed at her, "Now, now. Lie back down and don't worry about him, alright?"

Miyu simply nodded.

While they were sitting down, Miyu didn't say a word while Christine was talking to herself about becoming the future 'wife' of Kanata.

Miyu's POV

"What will I do? Should I sneak off as soon as Christine sleeps? No, that wouldn't be right. She might get hurt while sleeping. Or should we just wait for Kanata? I don't know what to do..."

End POV

But something got Miyu's attention, which distracted her from thinking. The bushes started to make noises, then…
