Love Makes Both Sides Crazy
Chapter 1
Yuka Azumi's Past
The woman who was almost in her mid thirties was happily humming a song while cooking breakfast in the kitchen. She had auburn hair that reached her shoulder and a pair of hazel orbs for eyes. She glanced at the clock on the wall. The time said it was 6:45 in the morning. She then finished her cooking and immediately went upstairs with a serving spoon and a frying pan in each of her hands and an apron over her clothes. After climbing the stairs, she makes a loud noise using the cooking tools that she brought to wake her children. She always did this almost every day before going to work. She loved her children so much.
"Time to wake up or you'll be late for school! Tonouchi! Tsubasa! Mikan! Youichi! Wake up before I'll kick your asses' outta bed! I'll give you 30 minutes to prepare after that, if you're late, you'll have no allowance for today!" Yuka then went to her own room to prepare herself.
A girl with long auburn hair and a pair of green eyes slowly got up in her bed while yawning. She immediately ran towards her bathroom to prepare because she didn't want to have no allowance for today. Today was her first day in a new school; they just transferred from Kyoto to Tokyo.
My three brothers and I will be studying in one school. Unlike our ordinary school in Kyoto, the school called Gakuen Alice has elementary, middle and high school, three in one. Thanks to mom's work place's scholarship, we can study in such a prestigious private school now. And also we have to thank Nodacchi-sensei, Narumi-sensei and Reo-sensei for that. I wonder if they'll teach me to play music instruments this weekend.
After brushing her teeth, she immediately prepared to wash her face but before that, she quickly glanced in the mirror. She's about to wash it when she noticed something on her face. There was a written word in every part of her face that said "aho, baka, ugly, hag" so on and so forth and a big circle around her eyes. She knew the criminal or rather the criminals very well. She inhaled and exhaled deeply to calm her but she just couldn't calm down considering the state of her face.
A large scream rang through their new home.
"Youichiiiiiiiii! Tsubasa-niiiiii! You jerk!" Mikan immediately bolted towards her brothers' room.
Tono quickly run towards Tsubasa's room where he knew where his little sister and little brothers were upon hearing the scream. He knew that Tsubasa and Youichi had done something again to Mikan. Tsubasa was his younger twin and Youichi was their youngest brother. The two loved to tease their only sister. He opened the door and watched Mikan beating the two. All of them knew how to fight and were all skilled in martial arts. Of course, he knew the two couldn't hurt Mikan because like him, they love her more than themselves.
He and Tsubasa had different personalities even though they were twins. He was the oldest because he was born first and Tsubasa is the second. They were both playboys but he was more mature than Tsubasa.
When Yuka was still fifteen years old, she went to Tokyo to study. Yuka's mother died after giving birth to her. Her family had a small piece of land that supported her studies in Tokyo. Her father wanted her to study in the city so that she would grow smart. Her mother was Russian and her father was Japanese. That was why Yuka's hair was auburn; she inherited it from her mother.
During her middle school when she was only 16 years old, she had many suitors because of her beauty. One of her suitors became obsessed with her but she ignored him because she was serious in her studies. That suitor was the son of one of the famous companies in Tokyo, Andou Incorporation. The suitor's name was Akira Andou. He was also a famous playboy and was the only child. He couldn't accept the fact that Yuka dumped him. He raped her. She filed a case against Akira but still lost because the family Andou was so powerful.
When she learned that she was pregnant, she went back to her hometown to give birth. Her father wanted her to abort the pregnancy but she didn't want to because whatever the reason was, it is still her child so she continued her pregnancy. Eventually, her father accepted the twins when they were born. And those twins were Tonouchi and Tsubasa.
After a year, his mother went back to Tokyo to continue her studies. Since Akira was punished by his family because of the scandal, they sent him to America. Her father and she didn't tell the Andou's about her pregnancy. And after a few months, they learned that Akira had an accident but was still alive and after that, they gave no news about him. Tsubasa and Tono never had an interest in their father because they were so ashamed of what he did to Yuka.
During high school, Yuka meets Mikan's father, Izumi Yukihara at her work place in a restaurant. Yuka was having a part-time job because the money that her father supported her with was not enough. She said that her sons needed it more than her. Yuka and Izumi fall in love with each other. Izumi Yukihara was half-Japanese and half-Spanish. His mother was Spanish and her father was Japanese. Izumi inherited his green eyes from his mother, a trait that Mikan carried. It was a rare to see a person with the same color as hers because only their bloodline had it. That was their pride. That's what Izumi told Yuka.
Just after a month, they became a couple. Yuka confessed to him that someone raped her and she bore a twin. She was afraid that Izumi will leave her but instead, he accepted her and said that it doesn't matter as long as she loves him and he was glad that he already had two sons. The second time she became pregnant, it was because of love.
The time when she was about to tell him that she's pregnant, an elegant woman suddenly showed up and told her that she was Izumi's fiancé and that they were scheduled to marry next month. And when she came home, Izumi was not there and his things had also gone. There was only a letter from him that says he went back to Europe to marry his fiancé.
She went back to her hometown again due to her pregnancy. But because of what had happened, she became depressed and didn't take care of her body while pregnant. She believed that Izumi just played with her. During her pregnancy, she almost had a miscarriage. And Mikan was born prematurely and almost died in the incubator. Because of the baby's strong will to live, she survived. Yuka blamed herself for what happened to Mikan's health and because of that, she stopped studying and just found a job to support Mikan and her two sons.
When Tonouchi and Tsubasa became 3 years old, and Mikan was 1, Yuka met Youichi's father, Shiki Hijiri, who was the famous male vocalist of the famous band Z. They'd met at the place where the Z performed at a birthday party and Yuka was one of the waitresses of the catering services who were serving at the party. Shiki fall in-love to Yuka when she served them after they performed on stage. The birthday celebrant was Shiki's friend that was also part of the band.
Shiki loved Yuka very much and accepted Tono, Tsubasa and Mikan as his own. Because of Mikan's health, Yuka married him and believed that Shiki was the right man for him. After 9 months, Yuka gives birth to Youichi. Shiki supported his family and Mikan's medication through music.
Shiki wanted to change the twin and Mikan's surname to him because he loved them as his own like Youichi but because of financial problem, Yuka told Shiki to change it after they earn a lot and Mikan's medication was not a problem anymore. She didn't want to burden Shiki anymore because he was already troubled by Mikan's health.
After two years, Yuka became the female vocalist of the Z. Their family lived well until Shiki passed away after 6 years in a car accident. They were travelling for their concert tour, but on their way home, because they were so exhausted, they didn't notice that their driver was driving fast and they accidentally bumped into another's car. Yuka who was asleep at that time forgot to fasten her seat belt. Shiki noticed it but it was too late, he immediately unfastened his seat belt and protected Yuka while the van was crashing. Before Shiki died, he let her promise him that she would be strong for their kids and find Shiki's father and asked him forgiveness and that, when the time comes, let Youichi decide. Yuka didn't understand what he meant but she promised him.
Yuka did what she promised to Shiki to be strong. She also searched for his father. When she found him after two months, she learned of Shiki's past. She found him through their band mate. Shiki's family was actually very rich like the Andou's. Now, she understood what he said. His father was very shocked to learn his son's death. Shiki liked music very much but his father didn't agree to it. He wanted his son to succeed the business so he threatened Shiki that he would not give Shiki the inheritance if he chose music. But Shiki chose music so his father threw him out. And now, since Shiki died, there was no one to inherit the company.
When Shiki's father learnt of Youichi's existence, he tried to take Youichi from Yuka. Youichi choose her mother of course than the money but until the present, Youichi's grandfather still visited Youichi to persuade him to go with him to manage the company. He was so persistent. Yuka refused all the money that was given by Youichi's grandfather.
When Mikan's health worsened after Shiki died, all of them went home to Yuka's father. The Z followed Yuka and decided to only play on occasion like weddings, birthdays, and etc. Because the pay is big enough that's why the band doesn't want to play other than occasions near them because Yuka can't bear to travel far away from her children, especially Mikan who's health just recently got better after they went home to her hometown.
The famous agency in Tokyo, the Alice Music Agency that wanted Z to sign a contract with them before still wanted them. The band Z was very wanted on occasions even though they didn't play on stage without party occasion. Their mother's schedule was always full and they could rarely see her at home. The contract said that they would still play on occasions and the pay will be higher. And since the company's owner was also the owner of the famous school Gakuen Alice, one child of every employee will get a scholarship in that school.
Since Nodacchi, Narumi and Reo were still bachelors, they give the scholarship to Yuka since Yuka has four children already. And because of that, Yuka accepted the contract and moved back to Tokyo. Mikan's health still only improved in the countryside so it was hard for them to move back to Tokyo again. But Mikan assured them that she will be alright since she's as strong as a bull now unlike before.
The three mentioned above were Shiki and Yuka's band mate, and were very close to Yuka's family. Nodacchi Masachika, 34 years old is the guitarist, Narumi Anjo, 31 years old, is on the keyboard and Reo Mouri, 30 years old and is the youngest of the four is the drummer. If they have free time, they taught Yuka's kids to play the instruments. All of them knew how to sing very well and had a nice voice like Yuka and Shiki.
Mikan was their only sister. She was born fragile with a weak body and heart. She was prone to sickness. She was always in and out of the hospital when they were kids. They moved to their mother's hometown where their grandfather, their mother's father lives. After his step-father died and thanks to their grandpa, Mikan was okay now with no sign of sickness but they're still worried about her.
He loved his family more than anyone else. He knew that all of them feel the same towards each other. And they loved their mother more than anyone else. In short, the three of them, Tsubasa, Youichi, he and their grandfather loved the two women of their family very much even though they had different fathers.
After Shiki, her mother didn't look at other men anymore. For her, that was enough for her love life always sucked badly. She just needs to focus her attention to her children.
"Tono-niiii, save us!" Tsubasa cried whilst looking at him. Mikan was still beating them.
"What have you done this time?" Tono asked the two males.
Mikan who was red through her anger looked at her eldest brother who always took her side. "Look what've they done to my pretty face Tono-nii!" The two couldn't stop laughing when Mikan spoke; they almost rolled on the floor and held their stomachs while laughing.
After looking at Mikan's face, Tono tried to not laugh in front of Mikan, but ended up laughing out loud like his little brothers, his right hand is hitting the wall while the other was on his stomach. Mikan's face reddened when she saw her brothers' reaction. She expected Tono to beat his other two brothers but eventually he ended up laughing after looking at her face. She then started to beat Tono and then ran to her own room to wash her face.
"Those jerks! They are not my brothers! I'm gonna tell mom about this. Just wait you idiots!"
The two laugh again so hard after seeing their brother beaten up by their only sister. Tono also gave the two beatings. The two cried while holding their head where Tono hit them.
"What's that for Tono-nii?"
"That's for making me laughed you idiots. Now, prepare for a whole week, I'm sure mom won't give us money today!" Tono said.
"Why is it whole week? I know mom just won't give us our allowance for today." Tsubasa complains. Youichi immediately stands up and went to his room to prepare himself. He knows why Tono-nii said whole week.
"Baka, you'll pay for this by your week's allowance!" Tono said while holding his chin where Mikan beat him.
"Oh men! I have a date today!" Tsubasa mutters.
"That's why I told you not to annoy her!" Tono said then returns to his room too like the two did.
Mikan immediately looks at her wardrobe to search for her new uniform. Her eyes widen after looking at her new uniform, "Oh NO! This can't be happening! MOOOOOM!"
After hearing her shout, her grandpa, her three brothers and her mom immediately runs towards her room. Her grandpa's making a fighting stance, "Where's the bastard Mikan, tell me!"
"What is it honey? Are you okay?" Yuka hurriedly runs to Mikan including her three brothers. They are very worried.
"Oh, I'm sorry to scare you grandpa but there's no one here." Mikan apologized. All of them relaxed after hearing her and seeing she's alright.
"Then why are you shouting hag?" Youichi raised his brow towards his sister.
"Youichi! Mind your manner towards your elder sister." Yuka scolded.
"Look Mom! What is that?" Mikan pointed at her new uniform.
"That's your new uniform honey, what's wrong with that?" Yuka exclaimed.
"Uh-oh! Someone will wear skirts today!" Tsubasa whistled after speaking into the air.
"Shut up you baka!" Mikan shouted towards her elder brother.
"Mikan!" Yuka berated her daughter.
"Mom, I don't want to wear skirts! In my old school, I didn't have to wear skirts like this!"
"Of course honey, in your old school, uniforms were not required. But now you're required to wear that in your new school y'know. And you're a lady; you should wear skirts from now on. How can you get a boyfriend if you still act as a boy like your brothers?" Yuka said.
"Mom! How can you say that to your own daughter?" Mikan exclaimed.
"I'm not telling you to get a boyfriend as soon as possible, you're still young. But you're a lady so you should act like one. But if you get a boyfriend, remember to let us meet him. Okay?" All the remaining people in the room were left dumbfounded by their conversation.
"Mom!"
"Now – now!" Yuka claps her hands to get their attention. "5 minutes left before the 30 minutes I've given you is up. Please be downstairs after that. The school bus will be here before 8:30 am. Mikan, honey, be sure to wear your school uniform properly. Boys, get ready quickly." Yuka said then went downstairs with her father.
"Grrrrr! I hate this day!" Mikan annoyingly gets her uniform and wear it. "This sucks!"
After combing her hair, she immediately wore her hazel-orbs-like contact lenses. After hearing her mother's story about her father, she hated him for leaving her mother. So she wore contacts to hide her green eyes. She liked her eye color but after hearing that story, she hated it. Tsubasa and Tono's having black eyes which are also rare to see these days like her green eyes and also Youichi's gray eyes. Both of their eyes were inherited from their fathers because Yuka's having a hazel orbs and none of them inherits it.
Tono and Tsubasa also inherited their father's hair color, black, but their appearances somehow came from Yuka but with a combination of their father. While she and Youichi's hair color inherited from Yuka which is auburn like their grandmother. But their appearances some how're different. Youichi looked exactly like his father, Shiki. He inherited his eyes and appearances while she only inherited her father's eyes. The rest was from her mother and she was glad. But her mother told her that she inherited her father's personality.
"Youichi! Let me borrow your spare uniform! I hate skirts!" Mikan shouted while banging the door of Youichi's room.
"I don't like to, hag! I don't want your ugly body to touch my expensive new school uniform! Just wear your own!" Youichi yelled.
"Grrrrrrr! Just you wait you idiot!" Mikan yelled back at his brother.
"Mom, Grandpa! The school bus is already here, we're going!" Mikan happily waved goodbye to them. The four hurriedly climb up the school bus. Since the students isn't in the same grade level and the bus just picks up whichever near the assigned area that's studying in Gakuen Alice.
Almost all the girls in the bus screamed when her brothers entered the bus after her and of course, they didn't notice her beauty since she braided her hair just like before and wore thick eyeglasses, not to mention her silver brace in her teeth. Her mother wanted her to wear this brace just for teeth accessory and she couldn't say no. She didn't want to take off her eyeglasses so that people wouldn't notice her contact lens. Even though she was boyish, she loved her hair being braided because her grandpa loves her hair that way. He said she looks like her grandma.
Mikan sat in the last row beside a raven haired boy whose face was covered by his manga and beside him is a blond boy with a rabbit in his hands. The latter didn't bother to look at her and just looking outside the window. The bus is almost full and the only vacant seats were in the last row. Youichi sat beside her followed by her elder brothers. All the eyes are looking at her who's sitting with the hot boys.
'If their glarescould kill, I would've died a long time ago.' Mikan murmured.
"Oi hag, you should go on a diet! I can't sit comfortably since your butt is big." Youichi lied to annoy his sister.
"You, brat!" Mikan was about to punch Youichi when she remembered where they are and immediately calm herself.
"Youichi stop annoying her!" Tono scolded their youngest sibling.
"Tsk" He lazily answered. "Boring."
Ding dong! Ding dong!
"Dad! They're here.. I've gotta go!" Yuka shouted at the old man who's reading the daily newspaper at the dining table. The maid that was with them was cleaning the kitchen. She hired her to take care of her father when she's at work and the children's at school. They're not poor but they're also not rich.
A blond guy with amethyst eyes greeted her. "Morning, sempai!"
"Narumi! How many times do I have to tell you not to call me sempai?" Yuka retorted.
"Hai hai.. Are they already gone to their new school?" Narumi asked while rubbing the back of his head. He also helped her bring her guitar in their van.
"Yup.. With the help of the school bus, what's up for today?" Yuka asked while getting inside of the van.
"We have a practice this morning at the studio. And perform for the Queen's birthday party at the palace this evening." Noda answered.
"I didn't know that we're gonna be playing for the queen's birthday!" Yuka said surprised.
"I heard the queen requested us. I know we're pretty famous but that was before and we've just been on television. Not to mention that we've just come back to Tokyo. How come the queen knows we still performs as Z?" Reo explicated.
"I know you guys are rich, maybe one of you knows the queen personally." Yuka averted.
"Uh-uh! Me? I just know her name, Kaoru Hyuuga. I've never met her personally. I'd just seen her on TV on her wedding day even though I have a relative working at the palace." Narumi said.
'Kaoru? I know someone with that name but she's not a Hyuuga. Her name is Kaoru Igarashi.' Yuka said to herself.
"Me too, I'll really feel honored to meet the royal family!" Reo exclaimed.
"Don't ask me. I've never seen her face even on TV." Noda said while looking at them.
"We're the same Nodacchi.. I don't have time to watch her wedding day. Even when she's still a princess, I'd never seen her face on the TV because she never let her face to be seen in public." Yuka stated.
"I think she's the rumored princess who married the famous Hyuuga Clan, the number one Yakuza in Tokyo." Noda said.
'Come to think of it, Kaoru once told me that her boyfriend is a son of a Yakuza.' Yuka remembered.
"Yeah, I heard it too that our king is also a Yakuza's boss. And they said that that because of that, the government and the Yakuza's hasn't had a conflict ever since the wedding and the Hyuuga clan became the number one in Japan." Reo added.
"But I guess that was just for the Hyuuga clan.. I bet they made a lot of enemies for doing that, a law abiding citizen marrying the opposite?" Noda said.
"I suppose that's how we can say "love makes both sides crazy", isn't it?" Yuka exclaimed. All of them laugh upon hearing her words. Those words have a meaning to the three handsome bachelors because they're secretly in love with their beautiful female vocalist.
A bullet ball suddenly popped from nowhere and hit Mikan on the face and she passed out. Tono, Tsubasa, and Youichi become furious when they saw Mikan was hit in the face. They immediately look for the culprit. When they saw someone holding something like a gun pointing at Mikan, they immediately approach that someone to confront and beat at the same time regardless it was a girl or a boy. Everybody in the bus becomes tense while witnessing the scene.
When Mikan opens her eyes, she witnesses her brothers' about to punch some familiar expressionless looking girl with amethyst eyes who's looking to her straight in the eye. Almost everybody closes their eyes in fear.
"Why the hell did you do that for?" Tsubasa angrily shouted at the girl while Youichi and Tono waited for her answer. She didn't answer back that's why Tsubasa becomes furious. He was about to punch her when Mikan comes from behind and hugs the girl.
"Hotaruuuu! I've missed you!" Hotaru hugs her back and glare at the three lads.
"Hotaru?" The three asked in chorus. They sweat drop after confirming her identity by the way she was glaring them.
"You've changed a lot dummy." Hotaru said while patting Mikan in the head.
She hit the three boys one by one with her baka gun.
"And you three idiots, still over protective of this baka." The students were shocked to know that the famous inventor knew these new students.
"Yo Hotaru-chan! Long time no see. Sorry for trying to hit you just now. You know why I did that." Tsubasa apologized.
"Don't worry. I know you three very well." Hotaru replied.
"Hn." Youichi just said while going back to his seat.
"It's nice to see you again Imai-sama!" Tono kneeled one of his knees and kissed Hotaru's hand. Hotaru immediately fired him her baka gun.
The bus suddenly shook violently because of the rough road. Mikan lost her balance and stumbled down towards the raven haired lad whose manga dropped onto his lap. Her spectacles were thrown somewhere else.
"Mikan!" The four shouted.
