Lion and the lamb

chapter 3

"oh my freaking holy chocolate" what the hellish! maybe I was hallucinating and I didn't eat a sandwich but I eat something toxic from outer space. yup that seems like a logic explanation.

I looked again and noticed a few differences with my brother. one: my brother died when he was 18, so it is very much impossible that he looked the same after all those years. two: my brother wasn't spooky white the last time I saw him. 3: he didn't have a tattoo and 4: he would never leave me behind if he was alive.

so much for the toxic sandwich. pfff, I almost got a heart attack. when I came back to my senses and my spaceship finally landed on earth I saw Natsume looking at me with frustration. ho-oh... oopsiej, was I looking to much again? before he could nudge the Tsubasa-look-a-like I turned around quickly and walked away but I did feel eyes burning me in the back.

"Mikan where are you going?" I heard Anna yell behind me. I turned around with a grin. "Chocolate Cake" I walked away, I needed some sugar. right now.

so here I was walking my way to a local cafe, somewhere near... freaking town has nothing in reach.

I walked to the bus stop and quickly hopped on, paid the driver who looked like my grandpa and sat down and finally gave myself some time to think.

okay, so here I was in a stupid place... with my dad who I haven't seen for 8 years. I meet my childhood friend... and my brothers look-a-like. would Younchi remember Tsubasa? probably not, since Tsubasa had his own friends. even if he would remember Tsubasa, he would still not think it was the same one of course.

that was just plain weird. meeting a guy who looks like my dead brother in the same place my brother died. oh well... I wonder if dad met him, how would he react. would he freak out? or would he shrug it off?

the bus stopped as I thanked the sweet driver and got off. okay, so first things first... CHOCOLATE!

I walked to the first cafe I saw. it was very cute. it had this classic look with glass painting and stuff. the inside was even more cuter. The walls were pink with white flowers on it. the tables had beige table cloth on them and white benches. Flowers were evident on each table. "jasmines, my favorite" I sat down and inhaled the scent. it smelled so nice!

"so what can I get you?" the waitress smiled at me as i politely gave the gesture back and grabbed the menu. "well I would like, hot chocolate milk with cream and caramel topping and as dessert I would like a dark chocolate cupcake & chocolate cream puffs" the girl blinked and then burst out laughing.

"I see, someone needs some chocolate fast" she smiled and walked to get her order. I looked around and smiled unconsciously as I saw a family sitting together. The little brother wiped the cream of his baby sisters face.

how nice to have a brother who take cares of you. all the times I needed my brother, he wasn't there. when I needed someone to protect me... he wasn't there. it's not his fault though that he got in a accident. I could never blame him. never. when I saw that look-a-like something inside me was torn apart. I felt betrayed but then I realized. My brother would never do that to me.

The nice waitress brought me my order and I dug in as fast as I could. With every bite I put the memories far behind in my head, locked away.

"that was refreshing" I walked out and smiled to nobody. "I am so gonna come here often... okay, I have to hurry back before Younchi notices me gone" so here I was ready to go back when I turned around and met not so happy eyes.

"oh, I think he already noticed" I almost got away with it! "how did you find me?" he looked at me as if I asked him what LMFAO means. sheesh. he does that a lot.

"I don't know, maybe because anna said you said something about chocolate cake?" I don't like really sarcasm... that was sarcasm right?

"It's just one day, Donald. what does it matter?" then I heard laughing behind me and when I turned around I came face to face with Donald's little duckies.

"ah, you brought your little duckies with you" the laughing stopped. I really know how to make friends, right. but I swear they look like his little duckies.

"greetings Huey, Dewey and Louie" they looked at me like I was crazy. I know, I know... I get that a lot. maybe I should be nicer... nah.

"your weird" the guy bluntly told me. I looked at them and noticed they didn't look to bad. they looked like naughty high school kids. One had this messy blond hair and a cheeky grin. The other one was almost bald and had a pierced eyebrow. The last one had red hair which was almost near neat, he had a sly smirk. Three of them had very nice toned body.

"thank you, duckling" he rolled his eyes. I wonder if you could see the back of your eye when you do that... maybe I should try.

"would you stop calling them ducks and me too!" younchi groaned frustrated as I patted his head. he looks so cute when he gets frustrated. Like oechiej woechie! "There, there... everything will be alright"

"so basically you needed sugar... so you grabbed the bus and went to a cafe just to eat something with chocolate? yeah that makes sense" ah, again with the sarcasm... or maybe he is right. it does makes sense. I should try to get out of this one.

"I know you would understand, gosh this makes it a lot easier!" he looked like he wanted to hit his head on the steering wheel. okay, he didn't take it well... it was worth the shot.

"you know what. let's make a deal. you will sit quietly and we will talk about this later okay" the only thing that came in my mind was nod quickly Mikan!

"good" his friends tried their hardest not to laugh. "it's not very nice to laugh at someone's misery"

"Mikan"

"yeah but-"

"Mikan..."

"but Younchi they-"

"MIKAN SHUT UP"

"oh fine... no need to yell though"

"thank you"

"...Donald duck"

"WHAT THE HELL! MIKAN!"

"thanks for dropping me off" I smiled at Younchi, I turned around and faced his friends. "you know, I don't need introductions... I like Huey, Dewey and Louie better" did they see my evil grin. yup they did, sweet revenge.

I closed the door behind me and grabbed the keys from my pocket. I had this gut feeling that my dad wasn't home. "I am home! not that somebody will answer" I dropped my keys on the table, threw my stuff on the ground and walked to the living room. it felt weird, this was my house now.

I heard buzzing sound coming from my bag as I opened it I took the call. "Mikan speaking... oh hey, I was about to call you"

why did it felt like I was the only person on the whole wide world that became numb from all the pain. I was a great actress in hiding everything. but I wouldn't be able to do that my whole life. after my call I went to make dinner, dad came home at the same time. we both ate in silence as I observed my dad. he looked uncomfortably at his food as he ate. maybe I was making him nervous.

"so... how was work" there came the silence. well, this is rather awkward. he cleared his throat as he looked at me with a sort of a smile. something between a smile and a awkward twitch.

"y-yeah, was okay" what was his job again... something with kids...TEACHING! oh wait shit... is he a teacher at Gakuen Alice?

"say dad... which school was it again were you teach" he stood up and started clearing the table. Me being the oh so sweet daughter helped him.

"it is a elementary school. did I forgot to mention?" I nodded quickly, I vaguely remember him saying something about it. oh well, like he remembers *snort* he has the memory of a peanut.

"I got a call from school. You went to only one class, care to explain?"

"I didn't felt like going to all my classes" I put the dishes in the sink as I faced him. He looked at me with a stern look.

"mikan, your now in my house with my rules" I looked at him with sadness, he saw it because his eyes softened.

"I know, it was just... I don't know" I turned around and walked away, away from my dad and his thoughts... away from this stupid house were my brother use to live with us.

"were you going?" my dad's worried shouting didn't make me turn around and walk back. it made me start running. "be right back"

"stupid planet, stupid place, stupid people, stupid school, stupid look-a-like" my muttering didn't stop and neither did my angry thoughts. I warmed myself a bit up by rubbing my arms as I walked further in the town away from my dad and away from that house. I love my dad, I really do. but I felt hurt when he said those things... I didn't bury Tsubasa.. I NEVER WILL. he is still alive in my heart. I will never bury him.

"you know walking around looking like you will kill anyone around you isn't charming" I spun quickly around as I staggered backwards a little.

"sheesh… wanting me to die with a heart attack?" I glared at the intruder of my thoughts and my eyes widened slightly. just slightly. you wonder why? well because in front of me stood my look-a-like brother.

And one more thing... he just spoke to me.

tada! i hope you guys like it!
