Chapter 3: Unpredictable : (Part 1)
oOoOo
-Mikan's POV-
The sun is already up it's around 9:30 at my estimation and I'm still under my blanket. Waaah! I'm too lazy to do anything even just to get up. Nothing and no one can make me go up from my bed.
"Mikan-nee. Breakfast is ready!"Anna called. Or maybe there's something that can make me go up. Food.
I went downstairs as fast as I could. "Ohayo!!" I greeted everyone, my siblings; Tsubasa-nii, Anna-chan and Nonoko-chan. Tsubasa-nii is the head soldier, Anna and Nonoko are our house keeper and as for me, I'm a soldier. Today is the day before "their" beloved ouji celebrate his birthday. Natsume-ouji of course, who else? So now, there will be no training for us soldiers! Yosh!
I sat down at the table just right in front of Tsubasa-nii. "Ohayo okaa-san, otou-san." I greeted their picture just right at my side. Okaa-san died since I was young, so I can't remember her very well. All I know is that she's beautiful and a very kind mother, Yuuka. Otousan died about ten months ago. We already moved on, really. So it's ok now, I guess.
"Itadakimasu." We all said before eating.
"Oi, chibi. Did you fix your room?" Tsubasa started the conversation what's more is that it was me whom he wants to blurt out his anger because of Misaki-sempai. They had a little fight, I guess. One more reason is that he's such an OC person the one who's like a clean freak.
"Nope." I said then stuff some food into my mouth
"Mi-chii." He said and gave me that infamous glare of his. Actually it always works on me but not now.
"Clean it." He ordered.
"Nope." And again, I stuff some food into my mouth.
"Mi-chii." He said and gave me that infamous glare of his. Actually it always works on me but not now.
"You know Mi-chii, I'm giving this glare already." He reminded me.
"Yep. But that will not work on me." I clearly said.
"Hmmm...clean your room and I'll give you a dessert made by Anna-chan." He proposed.
"Eh?" Obviously, she's in her own world.
"Don't fool me nii-san." I glared at him.
"It's your favourite strawberry shortcake." Damn. He knows my weakness.
"Anna-chan, will you do it?" I asked her, just to be sure.
"H-hai." She answered. Well, that's enough for me.
I stared at onii-san for a while and took my bowl up. "Deal. You win this time onii-san!" I said then continued to eat my food.
"Eeeh? Is this what my room really looks like?" I thought as I saw the mess that I made in my room. It looks like a boy's room. Everything in here is a mess. My weapons are scattered, my clothes are everywhere, and my games are all over the place. Well, looks like I have to clean this thing up if I want to eat my strawberry shortcake.
I stepped inside, carefully tip-toeing into my room. I then sat down on the only place I know that's clean. I stared at the things around my messy room. I sigh at the mess and looked at the closet in front of me. Got to think of it, I don't remember what's in this closet. I stood up and opened the closet. Wow! This place is full of my junk. Now that I opened it, I remembered it, that's the reason why I don't open this one. I scanned the things stocked in there and one caught my eye. It was a pink box and it has a yellow ribbon. I don't remember this box, or I just don't remember what's in it. Ok, only one way to find out. Get that box.
I tried to reach it but I was too small. So I jumped high and finally I got it. I was so happy and I don't know why. Weird. And the next thing I know, stuffs from the closet came down.
"Itaii..." I murmured. Wow, now that's dangerous. Better get this little thing in a safe place. I carried the box and put it on top of my table near my door.
"Yosh!! Let's get this over with so I can start eating my cake!!" I shouted before I started.
Few hours later, I was done fixing my room. It's spotless, as I can see. Before I went out my room, I didn't forget to get the box. I went down afterwards. At the dining table, there lay my strawberry shortcake made by Anna-chan. Beside my cake was a letter. I got it and read:
Nee-chii! Mi-chii! :) We have received letter from the palace. Looks like they're gonna celebrate Natsume-ouji's birthday tonight 'till midnight. :)) so we decided to look for our dress (Anna-chan and Nonoko-chan) and as for me a tux! (Tsubasa-nii) Anyway, it's also in the party where Natsume-ouji is gonna find his bride-to-be and we all decided to find you a dress for the party so ouji will choose you! We know that you're obsessed with him and you even have some pictures of him when he was a kid! :)) --Tsubasa nii :) So as I promised, here's your cake. Be sure that your room is spotless or else. So there we're going :) JA Ne!! :) --Anna-chan, Nonoko-chan and Tsubaasa-nii :)
Those guys. They really do snoop around my things!! Wait. They should know about the pictures too. Oh yeah right, the consequence. Not only did the sorceress erase Natsume's memory of me but also no one can remember the past now, huh? So that, Natsume can live his life peacefully? How about me? I keep on living in the past. I don't want that. So in short I'm the only one who remembers our past? Damn.
I got my cake and the box then sat at the couch. I made myself comfortable and ate a piece of the cake. I don't know why I got mad about it. I mean it was already 10 months ago when I made that deal and I know that I made the right choice. I want Natsume to live thought it hurts me that I'm the only one who remembers it. Grrr...I don't want to think about it now. Better be happy 'cause today is my free day! I stuff another piece into my mouth. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the box. I stopped eating for a while and left the fork into my mouth.
When I opened the box I saw a locket. It was beautiful and it's made of gold. The design at the bottom is fire and at the middle of it is a Sakura petal. It really surprised me. I picked it up and the chain of the locket fell into the mid air swinging and about three petals fell. That's when I noticed that there were petals inside the box. Oh yeah, about the Sakura petals. I remember something. Wait. Just to be sure I opened the locket first.
There I saw, I was right. At the left side of the locket is a red stone and on the other is a picture of two little kids, it was us. I was wearing my father's helmet and I was smiling while holding a sword. While Natsume is wearing his normal prince's suit. He was smiling and kinda happy. So I put the locket around my neck and I lay down the couch get my cake and remembered something while eating.
"Really, this is the best birthday ever! A sword, perfume, and a cake?! What else is there?!" I asked them so happy.
"Oooops. You missed one." Otousan reminded me. But everyone's here. Who else?
"Eh? Who else?" I asked.
"Orewa." Someone said from behind. I looked back and saw a boy in a black and blue suit. His hair was messy but looks great on him.
"Natsume-kun?" I was surprised. Of course.
"How can I miss your birthday?" He said with a smirked. He went close to me.
"otanjoubi omedetto, soldier Sakura." He greeted me.
"Do I still look like a soldier to you in this gown?" I asked him. I can't believe I still look like a soldier!
"Actually you do." He said with a smirk. Damn that smirk.
"Fine. Then this soldier is gonna start using her new sword on you." I drew my sword from my side and focus it on his neck.
"Then this prince won't give you your present." From his back he reviled a pink box with a yellow ribbon. Slowly, I removed my sword from his neck. My eyes from strict turned into puppy dog. Just trying to get my gift.
"There, now please give me my present." I said in a cute voice.
"You're not a soldier alright, but you're still not a princess." He said to me.
"I don't care about the princess thing. I want to be a soldier all my life!" I said to him.
"Then, if I propose to you now, you're going to reject me?" Wait. PROPOSE?? What is he talking about?
"That depends." I said. I turned my back and crossed my arms in front of my chest. Suddenly, I felt something cold at my neck.
"A locket as a sign of my love. Inside it is a red stone. Every prince has its own stone and if that stone was given to somebody special, that means she's going to be his bride." Natsume explained.
"In short? You're asking me to be your bride?" I asked.
"Not yet. Just getting ready to ask you. This is my present to you. Keep it. If you lose this one, it's a sign that you're already mine. And that means no one can get you away from me." He said while hugging me from the back.
That was the happiest day of my life how can I forget that?! Maybe I just waited 'till I didn't remember what I was waiting for until I saw this thing again. So now that I found this one. What am I going to do? Mikan Sakura. What? Just when I know what I'm going to do I fell asleep.
I can feel some bouncing and shaking movement around here. I opened my eyes because of curiosity. I can see a window so I looked outside, it was pitch black and I'm feeling uncomfy. Is it because of what I'm wearing? I looked down and saw some pink flowers and wait, is this a gown? Oh no. I can't be wearing this and not high heels too. I lift my gown a little just to check. Yep, I'm wearing high heels and I can also feel some weird thing in my hair. I touch it and oh no. IT'S CURLY?? Since when did I become like this?
"Konbanwa." Two girls greeted me, Anna-chan and Nonoko-chan.
"What am I doing here? And what are these?" I pointed at the gown and my hair.
"When we came in earlier, you were sleeping." Nonoko-chan started.
"So we all decided to fix you up. We know that you were are not gonna agree so we secretly did it." Anna-chan continued.
"Wow, you really do know what I hate but why the hell did you do this!?" I shouted at them.
"OI MI-CHII YOU AWAKE?" Tsubasa-nii shouted. Bet he's the one who's driving this carriage. Hey wait, when did we have a carriage?
"Tsubasa-nii! Since when did we have a carriage?" I asked him.
"I just borrowed it!" He answered.
"Really?? You didn't steal it?" I need to be sure.
"Hehehehehe...Just don't mind it, ne?" He excused. I'm not in the right mood now so I just let it pass.
"So where are we going?" I asked the two.
"Palace." Both of them said.
"WOW? And since when did I agree to go there?" I asked the two quite annoyed.
"Since we decided to kidnap you?" Nonoko said.
"And since when did this become a hostage thing?" I asked them.
"Just now." Anna answered, happily. She was so happy and I don't know why. Kinda weird but, never mind.
"Whatever. Just let's hurry up and go home." I said and stared outside.
"We'll be there until midnight. Koko and Yuu-kun will be there too." Nonoko said.
"WHAT?! You mean until the end of the party?!" I reassured them.
"Hai." The two answered.
"KAMI-SAMA! HELP ME." I asked.
I stared at the moon, feeling the breeze at my face. I am at the balcony, away from the party. It's not like I hate the party but I just hate the guys that will run to me and ask me to dance. Yak. I hate those people. I lowered my head down and rested it on top of my arms. Suddenly, the wind became harder. That's when I noticed the locket on my neck. I hold it and stared at it for a while. I close my eyes and sing:
"Eien" no imi ga mada wakaranai kedo
Omoide ni kawaru toki nani ka ga hajimaru yo
Ima demo tokidoki kimi no yume wo miru
Odayaka na hoshi no furu yoru ni
(Natsume's POV)
I close the curtains. All that I can see there are couples dancing, girls waiting for me to flirt around, and old people who only want to boast around. Tch, stupid.
"Natsume, what's wrong? Don't like the party?" My father, the king asked me.
"No, I like it. Arigato. I am just tired, please excuse me." I asked permission.
"Sure. You may go." He permitted me. I nodded and went out of the room.
As I passed through the halls of the palace, my mind is blank. I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm going. I just go where my feet lead me. As I was nearing the end of the hallway, I hear someone singing. She has a lovely voice whoever she is. It hypnotizes me. My mind that was empty earlier is now filled with her singing voice. I went down and out to the garden. I stared at the balcony. Good. I was right, she is on the balcony. I looked for somewhere to stay and just listen to her voice. There, a Sakura Tree. I lay down under it shade and just listened to her sing.
Kimi ga ita shiin ippo fumidashite
Arukidasu Mou furikaeri wa shinai
Senaka wo mukete sono ato no tameiki mo
Kimi to sugoshita koto no kinen ni nareba ii ne?
Ashita e to tsuzuku michi wa tookute mo
Atatakai kaze ga soko ni wa fuite iru
"Eien" no imi ga mada wakaranai kedo
Omoide ni kawaru toki nani ka ga hajimaru yo
"Sayonara" no kizu ni mune ga itamu kedo
Atarashii deai wo ima wa shinjite itai
She finished the song. Wait, it's finished! Gotta find her. I ran as fast as I could, once again through the hallway. And now ready to go in the party.
"WAAAAAAAH!! Natsume-ouji!" That welcomed me, the squealing of those stupid fan girls.
"Excuse me, but I need to go somewhere, if you'll excuse me." I asked.
"Eeeeh, is Natsume-ouji gonna find some girl?" Well what if I will!? She doesn't care! It's my life. Stupid.
"No, no. I just think that the king is calling me." I lied. Gonna need to protect my prince image.
"Yes, he is being called. So if you'll excuse my onii-san?" I heard Youichi asked. Is he helping me?
"oh, gomen ouji." They apologize, they better be! Finally, I was released. I just nod at them and went to my little brother.
"Arigato, I owe you one otou-tou." I whispered at him.
"No, just consider this as a birthday gift. You're looking for someone right?" He said.
"hai." I answered him. Wonder what has got into him and how he knew that. I raised a brow at him.
"I saw you running. I'll help you with the fan girls, now go look for her." He said.
"Hn." Then I started running.
"Oi onii-san, it's just for tonight alright?" he reminded me.
"Sure." I said then started to look for her. Wait. How can I look for someone I don't even saw? Stupid.
I went out again and went to the balcony. Unfortunately, no one is there. All I can see is a locket? Why is there a locket in here? I picked it up and opened the locket. I saw a red stone and a picture on its side. The red stone? Only fire princes should have these? I picked it up and stared at the moonlight in front of me. "A princess? A pauper? Whatever she is, she has a great voice. A song of hatred and loneliness, caught my attention. My empty mind was suddenly filled by her singing voice. In this crazy night, a song caught my heart? Is that even possible? If it is, I want to see her once again and let her lead the night." I said to myself and walked slowly to the empty hallway.
"Ouiji-sama!" Someone called me; it was one of the servant.
"Hai?" I asked.
"The king is calling you. You're gonna have your speech now." He said. I nodded as a sign of I'll be going. He went out first and I followed.
(Normal POV)
As Natsume walked with his servant in front of him, someone appeared behind the pillar.
"Natsume-ouji, what a stupid boy and Mikan Sakura is a very interesting girl, right one-san?" The boy with green hair and green eyes said.
"Yes, she really is a very interesting girl, Kysosuke-kun." The sorceress said.
"Hey, what if I fell in love with her? What do you think will happen?" He asked.
"Don't you think that just 'cause Ruka is your brother you can already do that to me. But it can make this story a little bit more interesting." She said and shot a glare on him.
"Well, I'm just thinking of that." He answered with a slight laugh.
"So you're not your usual silent-compassionate type?" She asked.
"Just wanted to be happy even for just a bit." He said.
"Why? You saw Mikan?"
"Secret, and that I feel sleepy. So where's onii-san?"
"Somewhere over there. Don't know don't care." She said and started to walk away.
"Hn. Mikan Sakura eh? What a name." He said then yawned.
In this crazy night something magical happened. They didn't meet but some clues are just right around the corner for them to meet. Crazy talk, crazy adventure, crazy night, do you believe in love at first sight? Yes, it doesn't make sense anymore but the point here is, something magical may happen.
