It's You
Chapter 1
"Sugoi!!!" astounded, Mikan Sakura exclaimed as she stood in front of the gates of the famous Alice Academy.
" Hotaru-chan! Isn't this nice???!!!"
She asked her best friend, Hotaru Imai. Se and Hotaru had just transferred from their school in Hokkaido to the said school for their junior year in high school.
"It's less worse than I expected it to be…" Hotaru said monotonously as usual.
Mikan pouted and said, "Well I honestly think that it is perfect the way it is".
"Whatever," Hotaru rolled her eyes. She walked towards the school, leaving Mikan hurrying towards her." Isn't your cousin gonna meet us today?"
"Oh, that's right!" Mikan chirped, "Sumire-chan should be here by now. I wonder where she is…"
Meanwhile at the cafeteria…
"Natsume-kun, please accept these cookies I baked! I made them just for you!" Sumire Andou literally begged in front of Natsume Hyuuga, the most popular guy I school. He was getting irritated with her, blocking every view in front of him except her. "Pu-lease???"
She seemed desperate and Natsume was loosing his patience so he looked over to the other side of the table where his best friend, Ruka Nogi, is and gave him "the look". Ruka understood and went over to Sumire, attempting to take the pack of cookies away but she didn't budge.
"No," she pushed the box away from him," I want Natsume-kun to accept this..."
That made Natsume furious and then flickered a tiny flame into Sumire's sleeve that sent running through the doors to find water. After irritating "episode", Ruka sat down beside him.
"Why didn't you just accept it to shut her up?" he asked.
Natsume raked his hand through his (glossy) black hair –which sent sighs shrills from the girls who were obviously watching hisand replied," If I accepted it, then those things won't stop showering me with gifts…"
"Okay…but wouldn't it be nice if you have many gifts?" he asked. Natsume looked at him with a cold, straight face and Ruka sweat dropped.
"Gomen…^^ "
Just then he noticed two girls entering the cafeteria. One was a brunette with long locks and the other one has short, raven-black locks. He had never seen their faces before and he knows almost every face in school.
"Hey, Natsum-hey, wait!" he was about to ask him if he had seen those girls but when he turned around, Natsume was already heading for the hallway, so he quickly followed him. Natsume rolled his eyes and stopped to wait for his friend. Moments later, Ruka had catched up to him and they started walking again.
"What was that for?" Ruka asked as they walked towards their classroom.
"Hn. I got bored…" he replied, keeping his straight face while they walked and ignoring girls who were desperately trying to flirt with them.
As they were nearing their classroom, Natsume changed his route and was now heading for the school's mini-forest. Ruka didn't react anymore. These just means that his "buddy" needed a time off his life and do his favorite hobbies: read his manga and then sleep. He grinned at himself while thinking about this and entered their classroom.
^.^ ^.^
Meanwhile…
Mikan lazily walked towards their room with Hotaru who hadn't sweated a drop from their "walk" earlier. They spent three hours walking around their school because the principal insisted on showing them the beauty of their school again and again…and again. They spent another hour trying to find Sumire because she has the key to their dorm. And now they are currently walking towards their dorm rooms, hoping that Sumire is in there and waiting for them. Luckily, their wish came true. Sumire was arranging the decorations that she bought for their rooms.
"Sumire-chan!!" Mikan exclaimed cheerfully, forgetting her tiredness as she ran towards Sumire and hugged her tightly.
"Mikan-chan!!" Sumire also exclaimed as she welcomed her cousin's hug." Oh, I've missed you so much!"
They were hugging and jumping all over the room while Hotaru as just looking at them with a blank expression, thinking that they had gone nuts. After they finished "christening" the whole room, Sumire immediately turned to Hotaru and attempted give her also a hug but she must have taken her by surprise. And before Sumire could touch Hotaru, she already blasted her with her BAKA gun at her and she went flying across the room.
"Sumire-chan!!" Mikan panicked as she approached her. Luckily, her fall was saved by boxes of pillows which she guessed are for their rooms. She went to her side only to find her laughing. Mikan helped her up.
"Why are you laughing, Sumire-chan?" Mikan asked, giggling as well. When Sumire finally gathered herself then she replied, "It's still the same Hotaru I know back when we were kids…"
Hotaru turned her head away, a tint of pink forming in her cheeks, hoping that no one will notice it. But being the Mikan that she is, noticed it the second she looked away and grinned slyly.
"Aww. Hotaru's blushing!!" Mikan crooned. She thought that her best friend would pass it up but she thought wrong when the BAKA gun reappeared in Hotaru's hand once again and as if threatening to pull the trigger if she continued what she was doing. Afraid, Mikan hid behind Sumire who was smiling at Hotaru.
"Calm down Hotaru-chan," Sumire sweat dropped.
When Hotau finally hid her gun, Mikan had the chance to adore the beauty of the room they were currently in which she had been neglecting since they barged in. It had beautiful and fixed layouts, luxurious appliances and carpeted floors. But what Mikan loved the most was the balcony that was overlooking the clear sky and a semi-large forest behind the building.
"I want this room!" Mikan said, raising her fist into the sky with her eyes sparkling with delight.
"Hmph…I don't want this room anyway," Hotaru commended as she headed for the bathroom that connects the two rooms, "It's already full of giddy teenage female things."
"Is she going to make her room into one of those scary laboratories of hers again?" Sumire questioned as soon as the door closed.
Mikan smiled," I don't think so…She's starting to decorate her room in Hokkaido with much less scary stuff so I think it's a start."
"Oh, do you think she'll let us help decorate her room with her?!" Sumire chirped.
"Not a chance…" Hotaru called over from her room with the use of her megaphone.
Mikan and Sumire couldn't help but to giggle.
^.^ ^.^ ^.^
"Okay, I'm done unpacking!" Mikan said, placing the last piece of her clothes from her luggage into her new cabinet.
"Great!" Sumire called out from outside the room, "Now we still have time to look around the school."
Mikan winced inwardly as she exited her bedroom and found Sumire sitting in her sofa while watching some home movies. Truth be known (and obvious), she was already exhausted but she doesn't want upset her cousin so she just have to stall her.
"Let me just…c-call Hotaru. Ask her if she wants to come with," she said, slowly inching her way to the bathroom.
"Okay."
Mikan had a hard time entering Hotaru's room because Anamitsu,Hotaru's robot that looked just like Mikan, was suspecting if she were the 'real' Mikan Sakura^^. When the door opened, Mikan's eyes widened at the sight in front of her. Even though they had just been in their room for just an hour or so, Hotaru managed to outdo herself and put up an exquisite yet scary look for her room. It was even full of techy stuff Mikan assumed are new.
"Wow Hotaru! It's so...unique!" Mikan cried. Her best friend appeared from behind some humongous electronic stuff she was setting up with an irritated look on her face.
"What are you doing here? Didn't we agree that you may only come here if something bad happened?" Hotaru asked before Mikan could explain.
"Gomen, ne. But Sumire asked if we want to look around the school...ehehe..." Mikan sweat dropped.
"...I'm too busy at the moment..." Hotaru said, and then continued on setting up her equipments.
Mikan whined, "Oh c'mon Hotaru! I don't want to upset Sumire-chan. Maybe she'll-"
"MIKAN-CHAN!!!" they were suddenly interrupted by the sound of Sumire's voice coming from the other room,"Come here!!QUICK!!"
^,^ ^,^ ^,^
When Mikan arrived, she found her cousin still watching that home movie from earlier, but now the scene was viewing little Mikan crying and a little boy sitting next to her on the ground, saying sorry with the cutest pronunciations. Just as it turned to the next clip, Sumire re-winded it and paused at the scene mentioned earlier.
"Look Mikan, you're so cute crying! And wasn't that your pretend boyfriend?" Sumire teased while Mikan's face turned beet red.
"Hey I was just four years old back then! I didn't know what I was talking about," Mikan pouted while blushing madly.
Sumire smirked, "What was it that you kept telling before? 'Sumire-chan, I have a boyfriend now and we're gonna get married when we grow older," she mimicked.
"Argh!!" Mikan cried as she pounced at her cousin, "I didn't say that! That's a total lie!!"
Sumire eyed her knowingly, "Are you sure?"
"I didn't know what I was talking about…" Mikan fondled with her fingers. Just then, Hotaru appeared with a backpack tightly wounded around her back.
"Where are you going, Hotaru?" Sumire asked, jumping away from Mikan and carelessly hitting the floor.
"I'm going to buy food…" she said, "What were you two doing?"
*Long silence while Mikan and Sumire sweat dropped*
"Long story," Mikan jumped up. "Hey, I wanna come!!"
"I'm not paying for you,"Hotaru said, while heading towards the door, "I'll wait for you outside. Don't make me wait too long."
"I'll take that as a 'yes'!" Mikan called out. She helped herself up and offered a hand to Sumire, "Wanna come?"
"Nah, I'm still full. You guys go ahead," she said while standing up.
Mikan chided, "But at least you could let me buy you something…"
"Ok," Sumire noogied her hair, "I would like… a strawberry cake."
"Is that all?" Mikan asked while putting a coat on; but she had a hard time buttoning the coat on because the loose ends tangled up so she looked like a tangled kelp.
Sumire made her way next to her and helped her get out, "She's still like twelve years ago…"She thought, happily.
After that, Sumire hugged her beloved cousin tightly. Mikan was surprised at first, but she still hugged her cousin as tightly, tears filled her eyes from the emotional "moment" and also from the irritation of the encounter seconds ago.
"What was that all about, Sumire-chan?" Mikan asked after they broke away.
Sumire smiled, "I just noticed that you're still as clumsy as before we separated…"
"You're still so mean Sumire-chan!!" Mikan puffed her cheeks. But after a while she giggled at her own stupidity and hugged her cousin again, "I missed you so much! But I'm dead if I let Hotaru wait too long."
"All right, All right. Sorry for being so emotional," Sumire let Mikan go and headed for her room, "I'll be waiting in my room."
"Ok!"
"And don't forget my cake!"
^.^ ^.^ ^.^
"Boss, we have a confirmation on the girl. As it turns out she moved to the prestigious school of Alice Academy," a figure of a man stated while watching Mikan from afar.
"Perfect…We got her exactly right where we wanted her to be," the man from the other line said," Continue to 'watch over' her; be sure she doesn't find out."
"Yes Boss."
^.^ ^.^ ^.^
"I can't really make you pay for me, can I?" Mikan whined. They were making their way to a bakery and Mikan is trying to persuade Hotaru into paying for her. It was already sunset by the time they finished window shopping for their stuff so now they are going to buy some dinner plus Sumire's strawberry cake.
"No," was Hotaru's simple answer.
"Even if I begged?"
"Yes."
Mikan puffed her cheeks," Geez, Hotaru, I've already treat you thousands of times but you still haven't-wha!!"
She suddenly got slipped in a puddle she was too busy to notice. She couldn't do anything else but to screw her eyes shut and wait for her fall- but it never came. When she opened her eyes, they came in contact with dark orbs staring directly into her with a surprised look in its face. They were just staring at each other for a while when...BAKA! Hotaru blasted those dark orbs away from hazel ones.
"Shit!" the boy owning those dark orbs shouted, releasing Mikan accidentally and letting her hit the ground.
"Ow!" Mikan shouted as she slumped to the solid ground. "Hey! What was that all about?"
She looked over to see Hotaru's gigantic gun hovered above her shoulder and the boy clutching his forehead with a pained look. "Hotaru! That was so mean," she immediately stood up and offered her hand to the boy who was as old as she was. But he just slapped her arm away, not looking at her. Then he left silently without even saying a word to them.
Hotaru went over by Mikan's side, watching the boy leave," He was touching you. I couldn't let that slip, even if he was God."
"Aww..." Mikan swooned. "You care for me! But that was still harsh you know; you should go apologize if you ever see him again."
"You do it," Hotaru turned around and walked with Mikan.
"Why me?"
"Because I'm not that kind of person."
"And?"
"I'll pay for your dinner."
"Yay!!" Mikan cried as they entered the bakery.
^.^ ^.^ ^.^
"Tadaima!" Mikan said when she entered her room. They saw Sumire in there and still watching different home movies. "Sumire-chan, here's your cake!"
Sumire jumped up," Yehey! 'Gimme it!"
"But I ate some of it..." Mikan shyly gave Sumire the cake tightly packed in a box. She grinned while accepting the cake she gave her. Sumire looked inside and gave Mikan a smug-ish look. "Wow, Thanks a lot...Nah, I'm just joking. Thanks for the cake, anyway."
"Actually, you should thank Hotaru. She paid for it," Mikan cheerfully said.
Sumire stopped what she was doing when she heard the words "Hotaru "and "paid for it" involved in one sentence without the word "never" in it. "You're kidding, right? Why would she do that thing? It's not in her blood. No offense."
"None taken," Mikan laughed. "Well you see I almost fell on a puddle but some boy saved me. Then Hotaru blasted him with her gun just because he was 'touching' me, then I told her to say sorry but she said that I should do it because she's not used to it and I said 'why?' and then she said 'because I'll pay for your dinner' and I said 'okay!'. So that's pretty much it."
Sumire's face looked bewildered after Mikan's "speech". "Okay... that was... long." She continued on getting a piece of strawberry cake and began nibbling at the sides.
"I thought you wanted a brief summary," Mikan fiddled with her fingers.
"Brief?" Sumire grinned. "Anyways, who's the guy?"
"Don't know," Mikan shrugged then yawned. "I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed now."
Sumire stood up and stretched, "I'm gonna go to bed too. You wouldn't wanna be late for the first day of school now, would you?"
Mikan smiled, "Goodnight!"
"Goodnight!" Sumire replied while heading to her room.
That night, Mikan couldn't sleep well. She was thinking of the boy who accidentally "saved" her and, at the same time, thinking about her child hood friend/crush. She could tell that he – the latter– was close...
Author's note: Yay! I already finished the first chapter!!!!! I know it's so obvious that you think that Natsume is Mikan's childhood friend/crush but maybe I'll consider someone else...^.^
