I Love you and I mean it
Part Twenty-one: Last Kiss?
by: Chette (Chanchanandmosasi)

[Yes. This school future is now in your hands]

Miyu sighed as she inserted a well-used CD into the player and set the remote on top of the notebook containing her dance notes. She knew that his eyes, referring to the young senator didn't stop looking at her. How dare this guy barged and ask for a date. Well true that he didn't expected him to come here; just like once, they also met when he saw Miu at her class. She shook her head and concentrated on the children. "Attention! let's start," as she clapped her hands. A dozen of six to eight years old children run towards the benches along the wall, children were so excited to do their classes probably because they knew that the senator came to visit them. [So get your filthy eyes off me!] Miyu wanted to scream, he shouldn't look at her, he should look at the children for christ-sake!

"Please senator Kanata, have a seat" said the principal and sat beside him.

Kanata's eyes left Miyu for a second, to respond to the principal but as soon as he took the seat; his eyes focus on Miyu once again. Her outfit hugged her every curve, showing off her lithe waist, slender hips and shapely behind as she bend and then gracefully straightened. Kanata suddenly remembered the warm, soft feel of her in his arms when she was still in the mansion, that night when he got lost in her warmth.

"Okay here goes, Leg up and twirl" Miyu directed in a soft, yet commanding voice. Boys and girls were giggling as they followed her. Miyu moved with them and continued to shift her legs, feet, arms and hands.

Her moves, captivated him. "...Beautiful" he murmured softly.

The Principal shot him a curious look, "Senator? Are you saying something sir?"

Kanata needed to think something fast, "uh.. the students are learning fast and the movements are so beautiful" he said, nodding at her

"We take pride in our school sir," the principal said, smiling.

"Ah, th-that's good..." Kanata looked back at the children or rather at her.

"Okay so you continue doing this," Miyu said, "First the boys and then the girls, ok?" she said,

"But teacher, we don't master the dance yet," said one of the girls.

"Can you try to show us one more time?" said one of the boys.

Miyu sighed and glance at Kanata who didn't blinked, She didn't have no choice. "Okay, watch me.." she said, the children gathered around her, leaving room for her to dance. Their faces were alight with interest "Okay here goes..."

She started to dance...

Kanata caught his breath as she demonstrated the simple, graceful twirl. She repeated the steps and explaining the moves. When she finished she leaned down, her hand sweeping just above the floor as she executed what they call 'ballet curtsy' Admiration filled him. He couldn't help clapping. Miyu looked at him, and blinked. Everyone turned toward him, curiosity etched on their faces. Kanata stopped clapping and they saw his face flushed and stopped clapping.

"Okay!" Miyu smiled at the children, "Now you guys do it" she moved to the CD player and the music repeated, the young females attempted the steps while their male partners holding their waists. Almost lovingly and with great patience, she walked slowly among them, calling out instructions and giving them encouragement. By the happy expression on her face and her patience, Kanata knew she genuinely enjoyed working with the kids.

"I don't know if its natural or she's lying"

Kanata blinked and looked at the principal, "What do you mean?" he asked,

The principal smiled, looking at Miyu "She's very good with the kids, it seems like she is married or she's already a mother. Naturally single women that don't have experience in parenting won't be like this. But she said she is single..." she looked at Kanata, "It really looks she's already a mother"

"I see..."

"Bye Teacher Miyu!" said the last student. Miyu smiled and wave her hand. The Principal left earlier and it is Miyu's responsibility to clean the school before she will go home. That Senator also left hours ago because there was a sudden phone call and he had to leave, thank God though she is alone now. After the last student left, she closed the door and lay on the center of the dance floor. She suddenly felt tiredness and her stomach growled loudly. With all the commotion today, she'd been too busy to eat lunch. She closed her eyes but she doesn't have money yet, she has been given this job for this week. She also didn't want to bother Anita and Mizuki especially not Touya. Touya may have done this, not because he is a friend but because he is wooing her. Suddenly an aroma of American burgers filled the room. She abruptly sat up and saw Kanata standing not far away from her.

"Thank goodness, I got a good signal from Kami [God]," he said, smiling as he shows her the food. "I heard your stomach crying" he added, while snickering.

Miyu blushed, "What are you doing here?" she asked,

"and you should lock the door when you're alone" he added, Kanata moved towards her and kneeled, "Don't you want to eat?" he asked, teasing her.

Miyu growled, "No" she said,

"Too bad, this is for you" Kanata putting the bag on top of her head.

"Are you mocking me?" Miyu glared at him.

"I'm helping you" Kanata said, directly. "eat" he added, sitting beside her. Miyu tried to ignore but her stomach was betraying her. When she saw Kanata opened the plastic and started to eat. She couldn't stop herself and took one of the burgers. She saw Kanata smiled but continued to eat. They ate their burgers silently. After a few seconds, Kanata was the first to finish, and opened the soda and drank. "Why are you still here?" he asked,

"It's my duty to close the school" she said, looking at the mirrors. "Where did you buy this stuff?" she asked, blinking.

"Why?" Kanata asked,

"It's delicious... It became my favorite" she said, looking at the burger.

Kanata stared at her, after a few seconds he smiled, "It's veggies... from a foreign restaurant called, Betsy's Burger" he said,

"It's good" Miyu said, finishing the burger. Then she wiped her hands on a napkin, "Thank you Senator" she folded her veggie burger wrapper into a small square.

"It's.. Miyu's Favorite Burger" Kanata added with hesitation.

"Oh..." Miyu smiled, "I guess that's why it's familiar" she added,

Silence...

"Are you still pretending that you're Miyu?" Kanata asked,

Miyu angled him a puzzled look, "You don't get it do you?" Miyu sighed and shot him an imperious frown. "I cannot pretend who I am"

Both her voice and her sudden action irritated Kanata, he narrowed his eyes. "Why don't you just drop the Miyu thing, Pretending someone doesn't make you a nice person" he said,

"If I am not Miyu, how come I know these things?" Anger flashed in her eyes, as she lifted her chin. "Even the things that my friends or your family didn't tell me?"

"Like what things? Like WHAT THINGS?" he repeated, shaking his head, "The Only thing that you don't remember is the most special part of my relationship with Miyu! How can I believe you?"

Miyu sighed, "Let's drop this. It doesn't matter if you believe or not. It doesn't matter Ok?" Miyu stood up but stopped when she heard him speak.

"It doesn't matter? if it doesn't... stop pretending, I'm begging you, because you're making things worst right now" he stood up as well. Miyu turned to him, Kanata saw a parade of emotions rolling across her face. Surprise, then anger then hurt. He didn't know but just like his ex-fiance, she as easy to see through as a picture window. "Please... please..." he said, looking down.

"Tell me straightly, what do you think of me? Why are you telling me not to pretend?" she asked,

Kanata gently raised his head and looked at her, "because I want to remember the Miyuki Masato who took care of me, that she is a nice lady.. that she will not ruined her image because of this..." he said,

"Go straight to the point" Miyu said, demanding.

"It feels like, you're doing this for my sake." Kanata blurted out, "That you want me.. that you Love me... that you want to be with me, but you know how much I love Miyu and you-you look so much like her, so you're pretending to be her" he said, "and you're making my life miserable" he said, truthfully. He said, he wants to say more but he saw Miyu moving forward to him, her face looks so cold, like no emotions. Then she stopped in front of him and a seconds later he received the most hurtful slap he'd received in his life. Kanata felt his world stopped a second. Then he turned to look at her and felt Mixtures of emotions twirled in his mind, thoughts like [I could sue this woman, I am a senator. She doesn't have the right to slap me like this] or thoughts like, [I deserve this for hurting her so much].

"You haven't change"

"..."

"Still jumping to conclusions..." she sighed and started to clean the room.

While Kanata didn't even move in his place. Then when he went back to reality he saw Miyu already picking her things, "I'll drive you back" he blurted.

Miyu looked coldly at him, "I can manage." she said,

"I deserve that slap, and right now I am confused but I really.. really have to talk to you," Kanata gritted his teeth not because he was angry but because the mark of Miyu's hand in his face hurts a lot

"It's easy to understand, if you want to believe" she said, "Now... you may leave so that I'll close the school" she said, walking towards the door.

"Miyu.. what do you mean by haven't change?" he asked, suddenly. Ignoring what Miyu said, before while following her to the door.

"What can I do, to make you stop bothering me?" Miyu asked,

"How about this... One last kiss, and then we can put this misplaced attraction behind us" Kanata said, as he lifted his hand and cupped her face.

"You don't even believe that I am Miyu-"

"Does it matter? Miyu or Miyuki... just one last kiss... and we will forget one another after that"

Maybe he had a point, it would be very nice indeed to move past the unwanted desire, like a closure of this chapter of her life. The Closure Kiss. "Fine, But just one kiss"

"One" he agreed solemnly.

Miyu put her things on the floor and waited for him. Then he felt his hands slid to her shoulders and then to her waist, her arms knew what to do, and natural as you pleased, she clasped the back of his neck. She didn't wait for him to initiate the kiss, standing on her toes, she rose up to meet him. His eyelids lowered to half-mast, then drifted shut. Then his lips touched hers, and she was lost.

[Dear God, she was so sweet.] A groan slipped from his throat. One kiss, he silently and firmly repeated. [One last kiss?] he thought as he probed the slick depts of her mouth with his tongue. hearing her said his name, between kisses he knew he wanted her now. But after the sweet kiss he felt her hands pushing him away, to end the kiss. He gulped and looked at her. Miyu touched her mouth, red from his kisses, with the tips of her fingers. [Damned, that's so unfair. Miyu used to do that]

Silence..

"At least now we're out of each other's system" Miyu said, breaking the silence between them. Kanata didn't reply, he didn't want this to be the last kiss. He doesn't know but he felt as if this is the beginning as he just looked at her. "Senator Saionji, even I am Miyu Kouzuki... you're ex-fiancee. What's past, is past. Besides everyone change. You're not the kind of man I want anymore." she asked, picking up her things.

Kanata confused but followed Miyu outside the school. But before they both parted ways, He suddenly grabbed her right wrist; "Enlightened me, Miss Miyu... what exactly is your type?" he asked,

"Someone who doesn't jump to conclusions, telling me that I left him because of another guy," she replied. Kanata gasped, "And most especially someone who can believe me, even that thing was impossible to believe" she said, she shook her hand away. "Goodbye Senator, This is a closure. thanks for everything" she added, with a bow.

Kanata's eyes followed Miyu as she walked away from him, One little kiss he said, but that kiss had turned into more wanting kisses, each deeper and hotter than the last. Swallowing hard. he had to find a way to see more of her. Miyu or Not... Married or No, maybe he fell in love again for the second time around.

Next day..

Mizuki yawned as he heard the doorbell; he growled and opened the gate. "damn. It's too early-" he stopped and saw Kanata in front of him. "S-Senator.." he said,

Kanata didn't know but he was desperate, he knew Mizuki can help or maybe he can't. But he doesn't have any choice. "May I talk to you?" he asked,

Mizuki blinked, "uh.. actually... uh.." he looked at the next apartment and saw that it was locked. He sighed with relief. "Okay, please come in" he said, he was about to close the gate when another guy appeared.

"Hey Mizuki, is Miyu home?"

"damn!" Mizuki growled, he didn't expect Touya to come early. But he couldn't shove Touya anymore because Kanata already saw him. Touya just stared at Kanata.

Kanata eye's widened seeing the guy once again, then slowly he looked at the empty apartment that is already being redecorated. "Mizuki..." he said, in a commanding voice. "Who occupies Miyu's apartment?" he asked, slowly looking at him.

Touya narrowed his eyes, "My fiance, Miss Miyuki Masato. Do you have a problem with that?" he asked,

Mizuki glared at Touya, trying to tell him to shut up with his eyes.

Kanata glared at Touya, "I thought she is Miyu Kouzuki?" he asked,

Touya snickered, "Last time I heard, you didn't believe she is Miyu Kouzuki?" he questioned him.

"Uh guys... refrain from fighting... even though you're a senator, Sir Kanata and" Mizuki looked at Touya, "You're a somewhat police, I can sue the both of you if you messed up my pretty apartment" he said, but his voice shaking.

"Then, let me enter inside Miyu's apartment" Kanata said,

"You don't have the right" Touya said, growling.

Kanata sighed and took of his key pocket, "Let's see" he said, he turned towards the door of the apartment and opened the door with the Key he has; "I don't have the right?" he asked, Mizuki looked down. Touya growled. "When she will come back?" he asked, looking at Mizuki.

"um.. it's Saturday today so, she'll come home around noon," Mizuki said,

Kanata nodded and dialed something on his cell phone. "Hello, Yaki? yah it's me Senator Kanata; can you do me a favor?" he asked, as he enter the apartment and close the door behind him.

"Damn him... he got all the power." Touya growled, "That is why I hate people with governmental power. They'll do anything"

"Touya, I know what you're feeling.. but do not mess with him, things are going to be nasty if you did" Mizuki said, patting his new friend's back.

Miyu sighed and groaned, She was oblique to come home every Saturday because the school ends at 12 noon. Now she has to worry about her stomach. When she was at school she just have to ignore the pain because she can, but going back to her apartment alone, without food... it was a bad idea. She sighed and opened the gate. She looked Mizuki's apartment and it was locked. She frowned and went to her apartment, but she blinked when the door was unlocked. She knew she locked her apartment before she went out earlier. Slowly she opened the door and almost fell on her knees when she smelled food. She shook her head and rushed towards the small kitchen, who was in her apartment? then she saw grocery bags and some food, fresh and ready to eat noodles. She blinked. Then just like in a dream, she saw Kanata walked in wearing apron.

"Oh sorry, I had to use your bathroom" he said,

"What are you doing here?" Miyu asked, she didn't know what to think, is this a bad idea now that he knows where is she living? "How did you know I live here?" she asked, her eyes following all his movements,

"Your ex-boyfriend, Touya accidentally came here when I want to talk to Mizuki-san and I found out that you occupied Miyu's apartment" he said, while washing the potatoes.

"I am occupying my own apartment" she said, stubbornly while started to help him by giving him bowls and some cooking utensils.

"Do you have peeler for the carrots?" he asked,

"In the top drawer," Miyu said, he saw him move really fast, "Why are you doing this?" she asked, looking at him peeling the carrots now.

But Kanata didn't answer back; he just move like she wasn't there. He found the steamer then brought it, and the fresh broccoli to the sink. He then rinsed the stalks under the ice cold water and added them to the steamer. "Miyu love Veggies, so is that Ok for you?" he asked,

Miyu crossed her hands, "I'd rather have steak" she lied,

"But Miyu likes veggies" Kanata said, snickering.

"As I recalled, you started hating veggies and wanted some candies" she blurted out. Kanata blinked. Then her stomach growled over the smell of the food being cooked. Without knowing, she picked a cooked green pepper and then some carrots and sighed heavenly at the taste.

"You're lying, you love veggies" Kanata murmured, resuming cooking the food. "Miyu can you get some-" he stopped when Miyu suddenly fed her a carrot. Like a robot he started munching while looking at her.

"While you on the other hand, only like pumpkin. You better eat some veggies too," she said, Kanata gasped. "Oh sorry, am I disturbing you?" she asked, Kanata turned his body to her, and looked down. He murmured something, but Miyu didn't hear him. "What? Do you want something?" she asked,

Unable to stop himself, he grabbed her wrist and shoulder, some plates and cooking spoon fell on the floor. Kanata's eyes darkened, "I want you" he said, huskily. Miyu opened her mouth, but Kanata didn't wait for her to speak, just closed his eyes and kissed her.

[This is wrong! This is wrong!] Miyu couldn't believe Kanata was kissing her! What about that One last kiss? The Closure? Then she shivered when Kanata broke the kiss to nibble his way down her neck. "Stop" she said, "Don't" she added,

"Don't what? Stop what?" Kanata murmured behind her neck.

"Kanata..."

"Miyu..."

"You're cooking" Miyu said,

Kanata blinked and let go of her. "Sorry..."

"And here I thought that was the last kiss?" Miyu said, moving away from him.

"I just got caught in the moment" Kanata picked the utensils that fell on the floor and resume cooking. "Just take a rest, I'll tell you when it's done. I have already bought some groceries for you-"

"I don't need it"

Kanata glared at her, "I know your situation right now. You didn't accept the money for the portrait; you only begun your job and you have no food at your fridge. If you're wise enough, you won't argue with me and just accept these blessings" he said,

"Well... thanks..." Miyu said, "But do not do this again, you are not even a friend" she added.

Kanata frowned, "Why can't we be friends?" he asked,

"because you've hurt me a lot" she added,

"Then I am sorry"

"No need."

"Miyu-"

"Friends don't hurt each other."

"Give me a break Miyu, I'm trying to apologize here" he turned off the stove and looked at her. "You needed a friend"

"I don't need you"

"But I do" Kanata replied fast, Miyu blinked. "Even if you're not Miyu, you're the only one can make me feel like this. Like all the people in this damn life are all fake. And even you kept pretending that you're Miyu... I can be myself when I am with you" he said, truthfully.

"How many times do I have to tell you I am Miyu?" she asked, then her stomach growled. "ugh.. enough of this... I'm going to eat." she stood up and grabbed a plate. But was stopped by Kanata. "What?"

"You won't eat, not until you accept my friendship" he said, crossing his arms.

"This is childish" Miyu shakes her head,

"I am childish" Kanata replied.

Miyu groaned, she doesn't have any choice. Her stomach is crying and she doesn't have any money. "Okay, if its important to you, fine. I'll be your friend" she said, "Now can I have my food? This is supposed to be mine right?" she asked,

Kanata smiled and nodded, "Please help yourself." he said,

Miyu sighed.

"Did you hear?" Nanami asked the moment Aya answered the phone on Saturday night. She'd waited as late as possible to call, but couldn't hold off another moment.

"Hear what?" Aya asked,

"Kanata-kun, was seen leaving Miyu's apartment. They're going back together!"

"Really? Whoopeee!" Aya shrieked, "But isn't it Kanata is already married with Akira?" she asked,

"That damn Akira, yeah but thank God for divorce" Nanami murmured. "Anyway, I am glad that Miyu and Kanata are seeing each other" she gave a dreamy sighed, "I remember the time when I saw Miyu, I can't believe my eyes! But now that she's alive, Oh my God everything is falling on its place!"

"and she better break up with that police guy, they don't deserve each other." Aya said, "Maybe let's call Miyu on a three-way-calling? that way we will know all the hot details"

"Smart thinking, we'll just sit tight and let the romance unfold"

"Oh this is so exciting," Aya cupped the receiver between her ear and tried to dialed Mizuki's number but no one is answering. "Oh no one is at home"

They both sighed,

Sunday afternoon, Miyu stood before the three way mirror in Nanami's dress making shop. A crowded space crammed with fabric, suppies, sewing machines, an iron and ironing board. Nanami's bride client was fast approaching and so Nanami needed help, Aya was busy so Miyu volunteered since she has nothing to do.

"This is really a nice job," Miyu said, looking at Nanami working on the wedding dress. "But the deadlines are deadly" she added,

"I really don't mind," Nanami said, "besides this is way I get exactly what I want, and I appreciate your taking time to help me with this"

"I needed the break" Miyu said,

Nanami frowned, "Are you Ok? You don't look good, you've lost weight and those dark circles under your eyes sure don't flatter you"

"You are really a designer, you can see what others can't see" Miyu muttered, "Even though you're right, sometimes you can make a person feel rotten," she added,

Nanami smiled, "I am just telling the truth dear, anyway... what's with you and kanata?" she asked, her eyes shinning.

"We're friends..."

"Don't play dumb with me," Nanami said, "You two are just friends?"

"Its okay that it happened, That is what we needed to do. Be friends" she added in a calm tone at odds with emotions whirling inside her. "Please I know that you've been dreaming to hear love stories between me and him, but ever since that accident, everything changed."

"accident?" Nanami asked, looking genuinely puzzled. "Are you talking about the wedding accident? when everyone thought you died? What really did happened?" she asked, hanging the dress on a padded hanger. "If its Okay, to ask?"

"Well I only know-" she stopped when she felt a headache. She shakes her head, "I really don't remember it much... but Touya said that he saw me in a wedding dress, drenched with blood. Then I came to his house and fell unconscious... as for the memories, I don't recall any of them" she said,

"Who did this to you? or it was purely accident?" she asked,

Miyu sighed, she trusted Nanami but she needed to be careful. She has to make a plan before Akira can move, she has to move ahead. [forgive me Nanami] she looked down at the dress she's working on, "I really don't know... my mind is still messed up you know?"

"I see..."

"Anyway let's just drop this conversation"

Meanwhile...

"Whoo! We're gonna hike! hike! Hike!" Santa yelled and looked at Kanata. His buddy has been really busy with work that is why he reluctantly invited him but he was so shock at the same time happy that Kanata accepted the break.

But his cheery demeanors irritated the young Senator, "Stop that Santa"

"Stop what? come on Senator! It's been a long time ne? the last time we did this was with Miyu-san! Remember that?" he asked,

"I said stop it" Kanata growled,

Santa scratched his neck in confusion, "I guess the rumors were true after all" he gave a shrug.

"What rumors?" Kanata glanced at his friend,

"dang! you don't watch news huh? and you're a senator." Santa said, shaking his head. "It's all over the news, that for the past few days Senator Kanata Saionji has been in a foul temper is it because of the coming of his wife? that's what the news said" he said, nodding.

"You're kidding?" Kanata blinked,

"I am not lying." he rubbed his chin with his thumb, "or does your bad mood have anything to do with Miyu-san?"

"Miyu?" Kanata repeated, stalling for time.

"Aya and Nanami told me"

Kanata swore, "Those two busybodies need to find new hobbies" he eyed at Santa's suspicious glance. He knew santa well, he wouldn't give up until he gave them what he wanted - "fine. We're friends." he added,

Santa's brow lifted suggestively, "Just friends?"

Kanata glared, "It's none of your business."

"But this decision you don't want, because of your bad mood-"

"This conversation is OVER." Kanata narrowed his eyes. "Let's go" he added,

After three hours later, they sat beside a hot spring in the mountains. It was a secret hot spring that only he, Santa and Miyu knew. Birds called joyously. Colorful spring flowers that he hadn't seen before were blooming now, Kanata enjoyed the outdoors. He should felt great, but instead he felt dull and empty. And the food it tasted like cardboard. Santa kept saying some funny jokes but he gave up.

"You don't think that was funny?"

"No."

"Argh! Spill it out! It's good to spill the beans, its going to be good, I am listening" Santa said, "I am your best friend and I am here to help you. Not judge so don't worry!" he added,

Kanata grimaced, "How can I explain if I don't understand it myself?" he asked,

Santa angled him with a look of disbelief, At Kanata's blank stare, he shook his head. "I believe you mean that" he said, then he started laughing.

Kanata growled, "What's so funny!" he asked,

"You" Santa said, "You're in love with Miyu for the second time but you won't admit it because you're too darned stubborn and plus you're married!"

That was the last thing Kanata wanted to hear. "That's a load of bull," he murmured, "We are just friends. That's it" he added,

"I am telling you Kanata, as long as you don't admit it? It will kill you, little by little"

Kanata sighed, "Are you through? can we head back now?"

Santa nodded, "Sure, you're the Boss"

Next on: I Love you and I mean it fanfic, Touya vs. Kanata

Miyu looked at Touya, "Touya... please... Kanata didn't do anything-"

Touya looked at Miyu, "Why do you always have to protect that guy? Why can't you love me Miyu? what about me Miyu?" he asked, "I was the one who love you so much and adopted you before. I was the one who truly love you, I was the one who rescued you when I saw you, on your wedding dress drenched with blood and-"

"What?" Kanata asked,

Touya cursed himself he forget Kanata was here. "I-I mean.." he groaned.

"Wedding dress? drenched with blood?" Kanata asked, looking at Miyu then at Touya.
