From Korea I Gave Back Love

Chapter Four

Sisterly Love

"Good morning everyone! It is nice meeting all of you! My name is Anna Umenomiya." The girl said cheerfully. Her newest classmates just smiled to her very warm personality. The boys were surprised on how this beautiful creature arrived at Kinomoto High.

Mr. Narumi, their English teacher smiled and placed his hands at Anna's shoulders, "Thank you Anna for that and class here's her very good friend."

A brunette with brown orbs carrying a friendly smile bowed and introduced her self. "Hi everyone! My name is Mikan Sakura, 15 years of age and I am very nice to meet you."

"Well then you two can have your seats at the back." Explained Mr. Narumi. The two nodded and took a seat. "Can I take the seat near the window Mikan? You don't mind right?" Anna asked.

She wanted to take the seat but it would be bad to oppose Anna. "Of course, I don't mind." Her bestfriend smiled and placed her bad at her back and so did Mikan.

"So we are taking Japanese Lit.?" asked Anna who is looking bored though the class just started. "Yeah, why? Does it worry you?" Mikan asked while writing down notes and at the same time glancing at her seatmate.

"Not really but you know this class don't have any Natsume Hyuuga." She sighed and placed her palms under her chin.

Mikan stopped lecturing and looked at her friend. "Anna, we are here to study. You can see Natsume when break time comes and besides don't think of him at this laid hour."

"I'm sorry." The girl said. "It's alright, I'm sorry too." Mikan said.

After four hours of taking non-stop classes, the bell finally rang and students we're quite excited to eat lunch and see the gorgeous five of Kinomoto High. Natsume and his gang eat at the cafeteria. That is the fact that they could not deny, they have to eat at the place where their fan girls are sending them bento boxes, different foods while squealing at their beauty.

Mikan and Anna entered the cafeteria and ordered their desired food. While holding the food tray, Anna stopped for a while and faced Mikan. "Can we sit beside the boys?" she pleads.

"Why not?" Mikan smiled and make their way at the second floor of the building since the gang is there. They had a hard time before they completely reached their table.

"Hey guys, can we seat with you?" asked a voice familiar to the guys. Natsume didn't like what he was seeing. Mikan and her bestfriend.

"No." a cold voice entranced as the other boys looked at each other.

"Of course Mikan!" Koko said and pulled a chair for her and Anna. "So how was your first day?" he asked.

Daggers and glares were sent to them by the fan girls which they didn't notice.

"Satisfied." Answered Anna and at the same time swallowing her food. "Classes were usually boring so I just took my time reading the lessons we have skipped." She continued.

"Yeah, I think it's hard to adapt on the environment that fast." Ruka said.

"I agree, I remembered when I visited China with my mom because she has this conference to attend to, I can't understand those silly Chinese languages." Kitsuneme narrated until his phone rang. "Excuse me guys. Hello? Chiharu? Yeah I am eating." He leaved the group for a while.

"Is his girlfriend always like that?" Mikan asked in curiosity because a call in the middle of lunch is irritating, for her.

Yuu finished his drink and began explaining. "Actually Chiharu Saito, the girlfriend of Kits is a protective one. He courted Chiharu for about 10 months and was losing hope until she gave her sweet yes."

"How cool." Interrupted Mikan.

"How lame." Natsume retorted. Mikan glared at him and looked back at Yuu. "Please continue."

Yuu faked a cough. "Then after that they began officially dating for five months now. We once told Koko that he should break her up but then he won't budge even though he knows that we are only teasing him."

"He's….. loyal." Mikan managed to say.

Natsume slammed the table. "Little girl if you are here to butt in to other people businesses then you can go." He frankly said.

The brunette was shocked and knew that Natsume's right."I-I am sincerely sorry." Then she took her tray and left.

"That was unnecessary Natsume." Ruka scolded.

"Please follow her Anna." Said Koko.

She nodded. "I will."

"Okay what was that Natsume Hyuuga?" Yuu asked intently. Driving Mikan away like that is rude.

Koko came back from the long talk with Chiharu and is very oblivious to their little misunderstanding. He noticed that they were silent. "So, who's dead?" he joked.

"Tsk. Don't worry to that lil' girl. She's 15 so she can manage." He rolled his eyes in sarcasm. For Natsume, she has no right to question those personal things and at the same time he just wanted to tease Mikan. After that he also went out.

They all shook their heads. "Guys, what is happening?" asked again by Koko.

Ruka just looked at him and said. "Problem." Koko just said "Huh?" too stupid. Yeah right. But all of them knew that Natsume won't let the day ended without apologizing to Mikan or just say sorry in a different way, in a very different harsh way.

While at Anna…………………

"Where the heck are you Miks?" she asked to herself. She was going frantic because of this search operation she was involved. But she was her bestfriend after all so she has some responsibilities. She looked everywhere and still has not found the brunette.

"I think Natsume is right. She has no right to interfere and ask those questions but Miks is always like that! They aye both psychotic and they need counselors. Oh Mikan, where are you?"

At the time she was desperately searching. She saw Natsume going at the back of the school. She got curious and decided to follow the guy. Anna continued to follow him that lead him to the place where autumn and spring can be recognize. A place full of trees. "Sakura Trees." She muttered.

At Mikan……………………………………………

A girl with brunette hair and fancy clothing is under the shade of the biggest and hidden Sakura Tree at the school backyard. No, she was not crying but looked depressed. "Stupid Natsume, I was not prying I am, just curious but his words struck on me. I hate him. He is so inconsiderate!" Mikan kicked in the air showing her exasperation.

"Don't kick like some psycho Polka dots." A monotone voice which is very manly said from behind. Yes it was him, the very unpredictable Natsume Hyuuga. He sat beside her which caused her to roll her eyes and kept distant. "I'm here not to apologize because I am correct." He has pride and never in his life would he let somebody to step on it.

"And I'm here thinking you would say sorry for the first time in your life." Mikan said as she made a sarcastic move through her petite hands. She looked at him which made her brunette hair sway gently. "Why are you like that? Natsume I can't even know what you are thinking at this precise moment. You go saying things like that which is not good." She rebuked him, acting like some older sister to Natsume.

"Bad habits should be treated in rehab little girl. You are so stupid." He said.

"At least I'm not an addict!" she retorted quickly.

"Who said I'm taking drugs!?" Natsume shouted angrily.

Mikan yelled a little louder. "And who said anything about drugs!? Don't ell me…. Oh my! Natsume! Are you on drugs?"

"I said I'm not! Geez, are you for real?" He moved in annoyance. What's he thinking right now is Mikan is stupid and very idiotic and it won't change.

Mikan gave a sigh of relief. "Okay, sorry I am overreacting it's just that I feel like I am your sister Natsume so it will be very bad to me if I heard you doing those things." She caressed his raven hair that felt so soft. "I'm sorry for prying to Koko's personal life." Then he released her hand from his hair.

"I hate mushy moments." He said and stood up. Mikan watched him walked away and laughed at her self.

"Sister huh. After all this years she still thought that we are kids. She has no mind at all." The very popular guy of Kinomoto High thought in disappointment.

Mikan continued gazing at the Sakura Trees. She was reminiscing their memories together, with Natsume of course. How they did become friends until the day she left him, heartbroken. Not really but something like that.

Her trail of thoughts are ended by a sudden tapped on her back. She looked up hurriedly. "Hey Mikan." It was Anna who greeted her, they both smiled to each other and Anna sat beside her.

"Hey Anna. Sorry for making you worry about a very nonsense incident."

"That was nothing for us. It is between you and Natsume. Base on the scenes I have seen, you two are back to quarrelling again huh. If you two are annoying each other it means the both of you are in good terms." The pink-haired girl said.

"Is that so? I don't know if we are that easy to read." Mikan laughed.

Anna's face became serious. "You are. Both you and…….. Natsume."

"Anna? Is something wrong?" she asked and was worried about her friend.

Then her smile returned again. "No! Not at all. Come on? Everyone is waiting for us." Mikan just brushed the thought that there is something wrong with her bestfriend. She smiled back and nodded.

"Mikan?" she asked.

"Yes Anna?"

"Do you like Natsume? I mean like, like strong liking?" hesitation was found in her question.

The brunette gave a gentle smile. "Of course, as brother that is, come on Anna we are childhood friends. The closeness we have is what we gained from being friends when we are young." She explained considerately and Anna plastered a wide smile. "Great." She said.

But what Mikan didn't know is that Anna had witnessed their moment and was a bit jealous on how those two acted with each other even if it doesn't mean anything to the both of them.
