Chapter 4: Who Are You?

Mikan's PoV

Argh! Such a long day yesterday! Spending detention with that pervert was a whole living nightmare! We haven't talked at all when he burnt my precious hair. He was an Alice like I am. I was surprised at first but at the same time, I wasn't. I wonder why...

As I reached my homeroom class, I took in a deep breath and let it out. I didn't want to face anyone right now. I wasn't in the mood. As I carefully open the classroom door, I gave out a small fake smile to everyone and greeted them, "Ohayou minna-san!" Some just greeted me back. I sighed again and went towards my desk. I didn't bother saying good morning to my best friend Hotaru and Ruka and didn't even bother yelling at Natsume today.

"Ohayou minna-san!" Narumi, our Language Arts teacher sang making a dramatic entrance by twirling around. He's weird, but I really consider him as a father or an uncle or even a grandpa! "There is a new student today so be kind to her!" My classmates started talking about what kind of student was our new student. Apparently, Narumi said 'she' so it has to be a girl. 'I hope she'll be my friend,' I thought. Then a girl with shoulder-length brown-ish red hair walked in. Her emerald eyes were dull and showed no interest whatsoever. She kind of reminds me of Hotaru but she gives me the creeps! I made a small 'eek' when she shifts her glance towards me, as if she was giving me a cold glare. No one seems to notice though. She gave the class a small smile that you need a magnifying glass to see it!

"My name is Koizumi Luna," she said. "But you can call me Luna-san,"

"Ohayou Luna-san," everyone said. She looked sad for a moment but was soon replaced by an emotionless one. This girl sure has some odd mood swings...I blinked. I swear she was just glaring at me right now while she was parallel with the table I am in. She just scoffed and went to an empty seat. I sweat dropped. She is so strange.


As the bell rang for everyone to go to lunch, I was the last person in the room. I gathered my things quickly and hurried to the exit. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Luna staring at me. I just stared back. Her back was up against the floor and her arms were crossed against her chest. Was she waiting for me? Was she a stalker or what!? Ehhh, someone help me?! Our surroundings seem to disappear and we were in a staring contest. We began to step back into reality when we heard a shout to go to the Cafeteria to eat.

"Want to come with me to get lunch?" she said with a sickeningly sweet voice. "I don't know the place around here,"

"...Sure," I said not shaking off the feeling that if I let my guard down, she'll bite my head off. I was caught off-guard when she surprisingly grabbed my hand as if something was going to go after her. She gave me a slight nod which probably means, 'Let's go to the Cafeteria!' She sure is some strange girl...

When we reached the cafeteria she let go of me and quickly and went straight towards the shortest lunch line. She motioned me by reaching out a hand towards me with an expression 'Hurry up!' I slowly walked towards her. When we got our lunches, we went outside to find a table. Being in the cafeteria is too suffocating and besides, I like the fresh air! We found no table at all but we sat under a tree and ate our lunches in peace. It's peaceful. Too peaceful...All we could hear was the sound of the wind and the sound of us munching on our lunches. A part of me wants to run away from this girl but another part of me just wants to stay with her and be her friend. Unfortunately or fortunately, the side of staying and become her friend is winning.

"Luna-chan!" We heard a soft feminine voice calling out. I stared at her. She was adorable! She had shoulder-length curly cerulean hair and bangs that almost covered her eyes. Her eyes match her hair and they glistened with such excitement. From the looks of her uniform, she was the same grade as us. "I've been looking everywhere to you!" She stopped near us and fell onto the grass from exhaustion. She sure gets tired easily but she's irresistible!

"Nobara-chan!" Luna gasped. Her name is Nobara? Such a cute name for a cute girl! "You shouldn't be running because of your health conditions!" She flicked the girl name Nobara by the forehead and started to scold her. Nobara in return held her head and starts complaining. I just stared at the sight, wondering if I should interrupt them or not. As if the two read my mind, they both stopped and stared at me. I sweat dropped.

"Hi, I'm Nobara Ibaragi!" the blue-hair girl chirped. She gave a wide grin. "I'm sure you met my cousin Luna,"

"C-cousin?!" I choked on my milk that I was drinking. "You two are cousins?!"

What are the odds? Nobara is cheerful and cute while Luna is just plain scary and creepy. Oh well, I introduced myself. "I'm Sakura Mikan,"

"Yep!" Nobara said. "If you don't mind, Luna and I will be going now," I just wave my hands signaling them I don't mind. Nobara grabbed Luna's hand and began running down the hill and I just watched as their figured disappeared into the Cafeteria. I sighed. Now I'm lonely again. I started to think about Luna and Nobara, my two new friends.

"Those two are weird," a masculine voice interrupted my train of thoughts. "Don't get yourself too close to them,"

I let out a small 'eek!!' and nearly went tumbling down the hill if I wasn't able to get my hand on the roots of the tree. I sighed in relief. My eyebrows narrowed when I heard a small laugh coming up from the tree. As predicted, I saw Natsume smirking at me.

"What are you doing?" I questioned. "Stalking me?"

"As if." he scoffed. He got off one of the tree branches and landed near me. I blushed crimson red when those hypnotizing crimson eyes stared right back at me. Before I was about to say anything, I was pinned across the tree. Natsume's body was pressed against mine while his arms were equally near my head, just about eye level. I could feel his hot breathe against my face and I blushed even more. I put my hands against his chest attempting to push him away but he was far too strong then me. Instead of pushing him away, he just embraced me. His head was resting against the side of my shoulder. What's up with him? One moment he was being his arrogant jerky self and all of a sudden he had the nerve of hugging me. One thing is for sure, I don't want him to let go. I feel securely safe in his arms. I closed my eyes and leaned my head against his chest. Enjoying the moment not caring if anyone was staring at us, taking a picture of us for blackmail (that will be Hotaru), or people complaining. I feel that for once, I belong somewhere throughout my Labyrinth.

Hold on to me; never let me go...


A/N: Ooooh, some dark secrets about Mikan! Sorry for the OOC .w.! I don't want the story to move TOO fast or TOO slow. I want it to move just right. Luna and Nobara are introduced in this chapter! Luna has a feeling about Mikan and I wonder what it is! (I seriously wonder what it is...Just because I'm the author doesn't mean I know the WHOLE story!) Stay for the next upcoming chapters to find out! Happy (Late) New Year to everyone!
