Chapter 1
"Here we are Mikanchan, welcome to our new home" beamed Kaoru, stepping out from the black SUV.
From the passenger seat a brunette hair girl with brown eyes stepped out, walking to the pavement where the tall raven hair woman with stunning fresh blood red eyes was.
"It's beautiful" exclaimed Mikan tilting her head upwards to get a better view of the 2 storey house painted in pale yellow. The house wasn't as grand as the others they drove pass the city ofTokyo, but it wasn't small in size either. It was just right for the two occupants to live in. The white fence surrounded the territory of the house, a lawn filled with grass along with multiple colors of flowers. Nothing could be more serene at the moment.
"I agree both in style and in price" agreed Kaoru walking to the trunk grabbing hold of some boxes, "Trust me when I saw the price I was literally gasping for air, I had to call the owner multiple times to make sure I was hearing right and not dreaming".
A giggle was heard from the brunette as she came and helped unpack the car.
"Well knowing you Kaoru I'm sure you had been asking for more discount from the previous owner" replied Mikan pausing to think for a bit, "well seducing is more like it, since the owner was a guy".
"Yeah I tried, but it led me no where since that "guy" turned out to be gay" scoffed Kaoru not bothering to refuse the accusation "my charms don't work that way".
"Don't worry Kaoru I'm sure any guy would fall for your charm" said Mikan grabbing the last box.
"Correction Mikanchan EVERY guy falls for my charm it runs in the family bloodline" winked Kaoru as she unlocked the front door of the house motioning Mikan to follow, "pick your room while I sort out which box is whose so we could start packing once you come down".
Nodding in understand Mikan rush up the stairs to the second floor checking out every room. The first room she went in was a bit to spacious for her liking sure the balcony was a nice asset to it ,but Mikan prefer to have a room smaller in size so she doesn't have to worry about messing up her room. She landed her choice on the room that was located on the other side of the hallway smaller and definitely easier to clean up.
"Kaorusan I picked my room!" shouted Mikan as she lie down on the bed that was already placed beside a window sill. Mikan assumed that Kaoru was probably greeting the new neighbors being her usual hyperactive self. Mikan allow her self to close her eyes.
Feeling a presence of someone in her room Mikan slowly lifted her tired eyes slowly adjusting to her dim surrounding. As her eyes fully adjust to the lack of light with only the moonlight laminating the room, she spotted a shadow.
"who's there?" voiced Mikan feeling creeped out still unsure of what to do.
"please help him" replied the mysterious shadow.
"wh…who are you? Show yourself" demanded Mikan as she step down from her bed.
"please help him" repeat the shadow.
Slowly Mikan made her way to the voice, and to her shock the said shadow was a man. Not just any man but a man who had an axe piercing through his skull in a sagittal position. Holding her breath Mikan dared not to move.
"please help him" said the man again this time slowly walking to were Mikan was standing. With every step forward the man took Mikan took one step back, and in matter of seconds Mikan was trapped by the walls of her room. The petrified brunette could do nothing but wonder why this man isn't dead yet judging by how much blood this man was loosing from the dissection of the axe on his head. Squeezing her eyes shut when the unknown man reached out for her…
"Mikan wake up!" screamed Kaoru shaking the brunette's body vigorously.
The brunette who seem to be able to grasped reality once more breathe rapidly, clutching the bed sheets tight she slowly turned to face Kaoru.
"Is it acting up again?" asked Kaoru observing Mikan's body full of sweat.
"I think its just nightmare" whispered Mikan still unsure of herself, scanning the room once more to see no sign of the man with a bloody head she sighed in relief.
"You know we could always call the pope from a nearby church and "
"No we're not gonna do that" cut Mikan before Kaoru could finish her sentence, "I'm sorry it was rude of me", apologize Mikan bowing her head in shame.
Kaoru slowly placed her hand on the brunette's head making sure not to scare the girl.
"No Mikan I'm sorry I should've known ever since you're not the type to resort problems with violence after all forcing those lost spirits to the after life is just cruel"
Feeling lost of words Mikan just looked at the woman in front of her offering a small smile of her own.
"Let's forget about what just happened and start unpacking so we'll be done before night falls", suggested Kaoru as she made her way to the door.
After three hours of arranging, moving, and cleaning the two ladies had managed to put everything in order. The house that once looked empty and spacious now had been filled up with furniture making some part of the house look crowded.
"I am pooped" stated Kaoru as she lied on the couch breathing rapidly.
"I guess that only happens to people who is about to hit 40 cuz frankly I still feel ok" said the brunette in a sing song voice.
The red eye women flinch at the girl's comment, her lips forming and evil smirk as she looked at her.
"Well if you insist that you still frankly feel ok" imitated Kaoru in a high pitched voice so she would sound like Mikan "you're cooking dinner tonight"
"As if I wasn't the one cooking for the past 15 years" replied Mikan sarcastically as she headed to the front door.
"Hey let me feel victorious for once would ya? It's not gonna kill you if you'll just shut up for once" barked Kaoru as she threw the couch pillow at Mikan who dodge on her way out.
"I'm going to the groceries Kaoru want me to get something there?" shouted Mikan from the other side of the door.
"Be a dear and stop by at the animal shelter. While your there adopt us a dog, a male dog I prefer so the one in your mouth would have a play mate and hopefully it'll stop bitching at people" Screamed Kaoru from inside of the house.
A hysterical laughter was heard from the outside, assuming that Mikan was having a fun time teasing her Kaoru couldn't help but smile as she picked up the pillow that was lying on the floor.
All she could just hope at the moment is how things would get better from here on.
Heading out from the groceries Mikan rechecked if she had everything needed in the bag. Once she was sure she wasted no more time and start heading back to the familiar route leading back home. The sun had already set and only street lights were visible. Oh how she hated this time of the day especially when she is outside. The spirit population would always increase by night, and she would have to suffer seeing each one of them with hanging guts, or missing body parts. Either one Mikan definitely was not happy to witness. She picked up speed as she made her way through the street.
"LEMME GO"
Mikan's ear perked hearing the scream, scanning around she found a bunch of teens circling what ever it was they were trapping. Due to her limited amount of height made it difficult for her to see.
"Hey could you help her?" asked a voice.
What is it with people asking her for help today? Does she look like superman or something? The last time she checked her underwear was in her pants and definitely not red.
Mikan turned around 180 degree to meet a boy correction a spirit with stunning silver hair and green forest eyes.
"You could see me can you?" asked the boy
At this comment Mikan decided to act as if his presence was unknown. Looking at something else that was far in distance.
"Don't ignore me you hag I know you could see me I've seen the way you ran through the street like a petrified kitten pretending as if you didn't see us at all when you practically are starring right at our face!" said the boy coolly.
The nerve of the boy was all Mikan think off. She didn't like it when spirits talk to her and she absolutely hated it being called a hag! Mikan start walking away in the opposite direction but before she could take a step further a freezing cold feeling rushed through her, literally through her.
"Don't do that!" exclaimed Mikan knotting her eyebrows as she stared directly at the annoying silver hair boy who was now standing in front of her.
"Oh now you noticed took you long enough" scoffed the boy cocking his eyebrow looking smug.
"What do you want?" snarled Mikan between grinding teeth annoyed at the fact that a spirit decided to just literally walk through her. She hated it every time it happens accidentally or not.
"I want you to save the girl who is being bullied right now" stated the boy as he eyed the crowd of teenagers.
"Why would I wanna do that?" asked Mikan raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"Isn't that what people do when they see other people in trouble?" asked the silver hair boy shaking his head in disbelief of the girls bluntness.
"You're just naive to believe that" answered Mikan rolling her eyes preparing to walk away.
"Please help her" the boy begged as he got on all four dipping his head to ground.
"Have you no shame? She can't even see you let alone know you're here. I'm telling you kiddo if you knew her before then start forgetting about her now this all is just nonsense, and get up guys do not bow down that easily" huffed Mikan as she once again prepare to turn away.
"I find no shame in doing what I just did if it was for someone I treasure most" answered the boy standing up from his previous position.
Mikan couldn't believe what she was hearing; this all really doesn't make any sense! How could a young spirit boy care so much for what she assume to be a girl who can't even communicate or do dirty stuff with him. After all isn't that only what boys think about? To top everything off she's pissed its dark and she doesn't want to stay witnessing the population growth of the dead.
"Then lets make a deal lady" suggested the boy "I'll protect you from evil spirits that would surely be bothering you most of the time your living here, because obviously you want nothing to do with them"
"I don't need protection, I can handle myself perfectly, just make sure I'll never see your face again," replied Mikan as she stomped over to the five teens which she precisely counted during the process.
"Kanosan" started Mikan "You do know your collection of women lingerie could cause you a chunk amount of time in jail not to mention a great session with a therapist".
The guy with red hair slowly turned to face Mikan freeing the girl with raven hair who is supposedly the damsel in distress.
"What did you just say?" asked the said manKanovenom dripping in every syllable he spoke.
"I'm just stating that you collection in the hidden drawer of you closet is wrong" answered Mikan smiling sweetly at the man who was twice her size.
"How did you?" Unable to finish his question the man stared at Mikan in horror.
"Todosan" Mikan continue placing her hands on her chin as if she was thinking. The blond hair man who which Mikan figured was dyed stared at her in horror. "Kimikosan that you are currently dating would definitely not take you seriously she's right now in a love hotel with a guy named Hoshosan, and let me tell you she's screaming for his name a lot".
At this Mikan smirk with confidence plastered on her face. Who knew ghosts gossip could come in handy, still she hate what she was doing threatening people it just felt not right.
Mikan was soon lifted off the ground as one of the men grabbed her collar. Placing her hand on his hand Mikan smirked even wider.
"You know my friend is right behind that corner recording every bit of this, if you dare land a punch on me Saitosan you'll be hunted down by the police" bluffed Mikan "And I don't think you really want me to tell about how you masturbate with the hole on your pillow looking at your sister's picture right?"
With that the man known as Saito dropped Mikan on the floor fleeing along with the rest. Mikan let out a long sigh as she headback to the direction of her house.
"Please wait" a sweet voice called out causing Mikan to halt instantly. For the umpteenth time she tried to walk away today she was stopped. Turning her head slightly to face the girl Mikan kept silent wanting to keep the conversation as short as possible so she could head home.
"Thank you for saving me I'm Aoi Hyugga" introduced the girl as she grabbed Mikans hand in a hand shake "Please allow me to show my gratitude with a nice dinner".
"I'm gonna pass that I still have to get home and cook" replied Mikan dryly as she snatched her hand back.
"Oh" said the girl looking staring at the ground looking disappointed.
Guilt washed over Mikan sure she doesn't like it when people get all friendly with her but she also hate it when people look sad.
"What were they after you about?" asked Mikan changing the subject.
Aoi Hyuga's face lit up. Mikan was able to make the outline of her features. Skin white as snow heart shaped face and what seems to be the most outstanding feature was her crimson eyes. It was simply beautiful.
"Those guys were trying to drown this poor puppy in the river over there I happen to see it so I stopped them" said Aoi pointing to the direction of the river that wasn't so far away.
"Are you kidding me? You almost broke your neck just for the sake of this mutt?" laughed Mikan pointing at a Siberian husky, slapping her own face thrice before shaking her head, "Well Aoi I'm gonna leave you to it and head back home now see you around sometime"
"Mikanchan please wait" called Aoi stuffing the puppy in Mikan's arm.
"I'm giving him to you as a thank you I'm sure you'll take good care of it good bye Mikanchan"
With that been said Aoi Hyuga is long gone. Mikan can't help but let her jaws drop. She was just given a mutt by a girl she just met. If she hadn't known better that girl probably was just pushing responsibilities on other people. Staring down at the puppy in her arm which happens to stare back at her she decided to bring it home and hopefully put this runt in an animal shelter somewhere.
After what seem to be the longest grocery trip in life Mikan was finally back home. She was greeted by a worried Kaoru who brought her into a hug. Feeling a rather large lump that was keeping her from hugging Mikan she pulled back only to find a black white Siberian puppy with blue eyes staring back at her.
"Mikan you do know when I said "Be a dear and stop by at the animal shelter. While your there adopt us a dog, a male dog I prefer so the one in your mouth would have a play mate and hopefully it'll stop bitching at people" I was joking right?" Said Kaoru, staring at Mikan showing how serious she was.
And that turned out to be the officially worst day of Mikan Sakura's life.
