"Angel on a wilted rose"
"Mikan are you done? We need to go to the Imai mansion as soon as possible" shouted by a woman on her thirties. She wore an elegant white dress matching her brown orbs and her auburn hair.
"Yes mom, I'm coming" shouted by her 6 year old daughter
"We are going to be late Mikan so please hurry up. This is a very important meeting" pleaded by her father
When Mikan was finish, they quickly enter their limo and greeted their driver
"Good morning Mr. driver!" Mikan greeted cheerfully "Same to you young lady" the driver answer her.
When they arrived at the mansion, Mikan was stunned by the designs of Imai mansion. It looks like an elegant modern Asian house combined with the luxury of the west.
"This house is very pretty mother!" Mikan shouted
"That's because their family owns the first class designing and architectural company Mikan" said his father
"But this house seems quiet and lonely" Mikan told her father
"It's just your imagination Mikan" said her mother
"Your house is very beautiful Mrs. Emma" Mikan's mother complimented
"Thank you, its just a pity that my daughter wanted to be alone" said Emma
"Her daughter seems to have a sad past" Mikan muttered quietly
"Mikan you can tour around our house if you'd like" said Emma
"Thank you Mrs. Emma, it's a pleasure" Mikan said as she run as fast as she could.
Mikan took the opportunity to tour around the beautiful mansion and while wandering, she saw a girl around her age sitting beside a pond.
"Who are you?" she ask
"I'm Mikan Yukihara and you?" she ask "Hotaru Imai" she muttered
"Then you must be the child of Mrs. Emma that she is telling me. Nice to meet you Hotaru" she greeted cheerfully
"Stay away from me! You are only after my money. I know the likes of you" Hotaru shouted
"How dare you accuse me! I don't want your money. I already have money and besides, my mother told me to never become greedy with money because I will end up nothing" Mikan said with a little irritation on her face
"You can't fool me. Maybe you can fool my mother but not me idiot" Hotaru said
"Believe what you want to believe, I don't care I just want to have a new friend" Mikan said as she walks away leaving Hotaru behind
"Hey, you're Mikan Yukihara right?" Hotaru asked
"Yeah why?" Mikan turned around and answer her
"Then you must be the stupid girl everyone was talking to" said Hotaru
"I'm not stupid!" Mikan shouted
"Look here" said Hotaru as she show her a portable television
"What is this Hotaru?" Mikan ask
"A proof that you are an idiot and a proof that you don't really has a friend you can lean on" Hotaru answered
Hotaru let Mikan watch her so called friends talk about her
"Hey is it true, you become friends to that little Yukihara heiress?" ask by a little girl
"Yeah, she is easy to befriend. You should try her" another girl said
"If we become her friend then we will have a connection to the Yukihara" said another girl
After Mikan watch the video, she cried so hard.
"Hotaru you are right, I really don't have a real friend I can lean on" said Mikan while sobbing
"Idiot stop crying, now all you have to do is to cut your connections to that ugly people" said the little Hotaru
"You better avoid ugly people and don't befriend them because you will only get hurt" the little Hotaru ask with a confidence that she will obey her now
"No, that's not true! I know that there will be someone who will cherish me and I'm still willing to find a friend I can lean on" Shouted by the little Mikan and look at the surprised Hotaru
"You are so stubborn Mikan, you have no real friend!" Hotaru said
"No I have one!" shouted Mikan "Who is it then?" ask Hotaru "You" said Mikan
"Hahaha! You are really stubborn Mikan" Hotaru laughed and it made Mikan surprise "You just laughed!" Mikan shouted
"Fine, I'll be your friend. I'll protect you so that you will not be hurt by ugly people princess" said Hotaru with a smile on her face
"Then I'm relying on you Hotaru, please be my knight" said Mikan as they play together the whole day.
Little did Mikan know that this will be the last happy memory that she will remember. Because after that, a great tragedy will occur that will change her life forever.
