Chapter 4

How Easy

"Imai-san, do you know those two guys? Cuz' apparently they know you." asked Permy

It was break time, and we were all heading to our last class: Social Studies. I was with Mikan, but she told me I shouldn't miss any classes. I didn't want to come to class worrying what's going to happen tomorrow. Mikan is a little rusty with her skills; it's been 3 years and she haven't even practice once every since she came here. She only have today to practice and Mikan can get distracted a little. And I hope those two can help her focus. Forgetting about the question, I looked at Permy and she was waiting patiently before she blows.

"Yeah. I know them."

"Okay. Then who are they?" asked Permy

"Childhood friends. Neji is our age and Sai-nii, is 19 years old."

Finishing my sentence, we sat in silence. I had a feeling they wanted more, but there's nothing else to say, except for Neji has a crush on Mikan and Sai-nii spoils her like a daughter/sister.

"Okay. And?" shouted Permy

"You want more? Well I can't tell you anything other than that." I explained

"And why is that?" asked Permy, that's about to explode

"Because...it's the rules." I answered, and walked away before Permy goes berserk. I want to tell them what's happening and why this is happening, but I have to follow the rules. And I know it's not just me, but Mikan too. Recently, her smile isn't bright like the sun as it use to be. Like it's died out. I'm worried about Mikan, because she likes to bottle things up and don't tell anyone. She likes to help people, but what about her problems? Who does she talk to about her problems? I let out a breathe, "What a headache."

After history class, I decided to go check on Mikan; to see how she was doing. But once I got outside, I, again, got stop by Permy, Ruka, Natsume, Narumi-sensai, Tono-sensai, Youichi, and Aoi. They are so persistent. Ready for the worse, I substain myself.

"Imai-san. Earlier today you were talking about rules. What rules?" asked Permy, but sound like a command

"Sorry. I can not say."

"Hotaru-chan. Please tell us, because we're worried about Mikan-chan." said Narumi-sensai

I lowered my head and said, "I know you all are worried, but I can not say. Sorry."

"Rules, rules, RULES! That's all you tell us! Where are these rules coming from?" asked Permy, getting angry by the second

"I can't say."But I also was getting angry. I want to tell them, but I just can't! Just thinking about it makes frustrated and furious!

"There you go again! If you know that we are worry then..."

"IF I SAID I CAN'T THEN I CAN'T! I WANT TO TELL YOU BUT I CAN'T!" I shouted in anger and frustration. I looked up and glared at them. Then I walked off to Mikan's direction. And kept on walking until I was beside Mikan's side.

"Hotaru?" asked Mikan's voice. I snapped out of my gaze and looked up, and saw Mikan's face. Her confuse look. At that moment my worries disappeared and I felt better. I hugged Mikan and she started to freak out. But I'm glad she turned back; because who can make me have this much joy, such passion. What a great friend I have. I smiled to myself and felt a tear run down my cheek. I can hear Mikan's trembling voice in the background, and it made me smile even more. I'm really am lucky.

The next morning, I woke up with a start. Not because I had a bad dream or nothing, but there's was a loud noise. And not to mention a bang that shook the whole school. Hurrying to put on some clothes, I heard a knock at my door. Pulling up my skirt, I rush to the door and Hana was there, and out of breathe. I guess she ran all the way here, but why?

"Hotaru-chan. Mikan...-chan is...is in trouble."

Without thinking, I rushed out of the room and went straight to the scene: outside. However, when I got there, it wasn't' a small problem. Mikan was crushed inside the building and Permy and the rest wasn't even in sight. And just like a jinx, I saw them running around the corner behind me.

"Imam-san! What happ..." Before she can finish her sentence, Permy saw Mikan. She covered her mouth and when she was about to scream, Aoi got there before her. Everyone else were just staring with fright and confusion.

"Don't worry she isn't hurt." I said, without looking at them. But I can feel their eyes on me.

"What do you mean she isn't hurt? Look at her!" shouted Permy

"I see her." I said, turning my head to her, "And." Then I turned around again. I knew how Permy look, when I said that. She's so predictable.

"Mikan. How can you let yourself get hit?" asked Neji, who was now standing in front of Mikan. Neji was wearing all black including shoes. And floating beside was his partner, Night. Night is a doll, but not any kind of doll; a soul doll. It lets you transform into your battle form. You can only do this if you are studying at Crescent Academy. I don't attend there so I don't have one, but I am part of the company called White Destiny. It's made by the same person, but it's complete different! Neji soul doll has short black hair and sharp gray eyes. Night was wearing all black (like his partner) but wearing a jacket also.

"Now brother. Mika-chan only practice yesterday, so she's a little rusty. Come on be sport!" said Sai-nii, who also entered the scene, he was also wearing all black. His hair was tied back into a ponytail, and you can his piercings. Also right beside was his soul doll, Blood. Blood has long red hair and ruby sharp eyes; blood also have a split personality, sometimes he's happy and some he's not. Blood was wearing a red long sleeve shirt and a black vest, black pants, and black shoes.

"Sorry Neji. I'll get better soon." said Mikan, who was slowly getting up. When she was standing, she didn't have her go lucky smile, but a serious face. Mikan dust herself off and looked up at the sky. There you can see a girl name Pink, but she goes by Lady Pink. Pink is of course wearing a non-sleeve black shirt that overlaps a long slide off pink shirt. Under her dress, she wore pink leggings. For shoes she's wearing long black boots with pink ribbons around it. If you guess it, her hair is short spikey pink hair and fuchsia eyes.

"Oh, you can stand? Then let's make it so you won't stand at all!" shouted Pink, who looked at Mikan with crazy eyes. Mikan smirked and placed her hands on her hips.

"I'll like to see you try!" shouted Mikan, with a little confidence in her voice. Pink clicked her tongue and looked straight at Mikan with a disgust look on her face.

"You're still the same as ever, Sakura Mikan." whispered Pink, even though we can hear her clearly.

"Joy!" said Mikan, and after a while a doll popped up. And it was Joy, Mikan's soul doll. Joy was wearing a baby pink dress with long kimono sleeve's and laced with gold printings; and at the end of the sleeves and dress were cream frills. Around her neck she wore a big long emerald bow that had a gold medallion. Her hair was orange and wore pom pom that overlap her twin bow hair. For shoes she wore gold flats.

"You called Mika-chan?" asked Joy

"Yes I did. It's time to battle, Joy." said Mikan, who calmly said it. Joy smiled and nodded her head. Mikan and Joy both looked at Pink then at each other. They smile and said, "How easy."
