Chapter 4: The painting

Hyuuga Mansion –

Hallway –

"This place is too quiet, I will like this place" while stretching her body" this is what they called Peace and Quiet. The three people walking in front of her stops and looked at in our young brunette and muttered…

"Peace and Order"

" erm..well It's still the same right Hotaru? Sweat dropped and laughing nervously

" No… it's Peace and Order" said by her cold best friend

"Tch, I have to watch my words before talking with them" Mikan's thought

"You don't have to do it, you cannot even understand a simple explanation, and you're telling yourself to be careful?" Hotaru stated and directly struck by a poisonous arrow of words our little poor Mikan

"Ho…ho…hotaru… you… I … can't take it…." squeezing her chest because of what she heard from her beloved bestfriend "you…hurt my… feelings…"

"Oh, what an idiot. Telling herself to do something like that though she can't even sleep alone w/out her oji-san… poor child" yuriko whispered to Mr. Shuichiro and Youchi while giggling secretly…

The young boy, who's with his father's arm, went down and moves toward to our poor protagonist.

"neh…neh…" tapping our poor Mikan who's sitting in a corner w/ a dark lousy aura and mushrooms surrounded her.

Our poor Mikan noticed the approach of the little young boy, when she saw the kid, she was enlightened a bit, because she find a comrade who still cares for her. The kid was smiling with care and abruptly moves closer to Mikan and chuckled …

"hee…hee… mo…mo…"

"Mo?" w/ quizzical look in young brunette

"Mo-ron…moron"

"ehhhh?..." screeched by the young brunette with miserable look

Fast Forward –

" I hate you guys… I hate you…."

"Then hate us."

"Hotaru you meanie… I'm not going to talk to you anymore…hmph!"

"Then don't talk…"

"I'm serious…"

"Then serious..."

"I'm not going to eat…"

"Then don't! We're not the one who will suffer"

"Yeah… she's right, I shouldn't said that, I can't live without foods" mikan's thought

"BAKA…" muttered by the ice princess..

"Why you…"

"Wait Hotaru, how did you know what I'm thinking awhile ago?"

"I thought you're not going to talk to me?"

"Grrr… them I'm going to talk to you… whether you like it or not"

"Then talk…"

"Okay…"

"But…"

"But what?..."

"150 rabbits"

"What?"

"Fine…. Here, but listen to me…"

"Okay"

"How did you know what I'm thinking?"

"Because of this" pointing her glasses

"What's that?"

"It's my glasses"

"Yeah, I know it's your glasses, but it has any relation with what am I asking to you?"

"It's my new invention"

"Invention"

"When you wear it, you will know what other people are thinking, it will visible to you…"

"Wow…cool. Let me wear it too…"

"No….."

"Please…" tears run down and sniffing like a child

"Don't go near me…. You're disgusting"

"please Hotaru…" wearing a puppy-eyes-look" Hotaru as ever, knowing her, she will do anything, just will benefit her.

"Okay…"

"Really…. You're my good friend"

"But…."

"But what?"

"2000 rabbits per hour"

"What?..." watching our poor Mikan, her soul is getting away from her body and Hotaru use her new version baka soul escape goat 1.00034, to catch her ghost.

-After a while-

"Hotaru-sama, you shouldn't do that to her again, it was really dangerous"

"Hnn"

Our poor Mikan, who failed to get a chance to borrow her friend's glasses, was in her gloomy state, having a creepy aura, the 4 people are walking, but there's a girl who notice something…

"Huh? What's that?...is it a painting? But it's too big and…

"Too real…" mikan's thought

As she hears something growling… the three people look at her…

"Growl…"

"Uhm… I'm hungry, do you have any food?"

-At the Garden–

"Wow, I didn't know that this place had this huge Garden, there are so many flowers here, but Roses are more dominant here, I love roses…" Mikan exclaimed w/ twinkling eyes

" Well, I'm glad that Mikan-sama liked it , I planted them so hard, and take care them very well for the next owner of this mansion" carrying a tray of cakes and tea

"Ehh? What do you mean Ojisan?" while eating her three slice of cake "waah…. I love strawberries"

"After that incident, no one dare to handle this mansion or make any investment because of the fear that they might cursed"

The three are quiet listening while eating and also youichi.

"And after so many years, there this man who said that he will sell it and go to city, and there he find Mr. Sakura and make an agreement.

"Oh... I got it!"

"Eh… he got it? It's a miracle" whispered by yuriko-san to Hotaru, and Hotaru nodded w/ disbelief

"Shut-up you two…"

"But how about the painting Oji-san?" Mikan asked w/ a curious look

"The painting?"

"Yeah the painting hanged on the central building"

"Oh, that painting? That painting is the one I'm talking about awhile ago, the one that has a curse"

"…"

"It was already there, before I came, and I think the government decided to put it there and not bother anymore"

The place was covered by silence, but something broke it …. Again … by one person…

"Growl…"

"Eh? Are you still hungry Mikan-sama? I'll get some cakes—"

"No! Uhm—no, thanks, but I'm already full"

"But why are you…?"

"Growl…"

"I'm going to…"

"Going what?"

"Because I'm going to…"

Her friend noticed her sudden change of reaction, so she get her glasses and wears it… and found..

Her friend as fast as the lightning she pull her famous other than baka-gun and shoot our poor Mikan and yelled

" go to the comfort room… you're disgusting BAKA…" and our poor protagonist sent flying again…

A/N: I guess it's one of her favourite stunts eh?...

-At the comfort Room-

a brunette girl with a dreadful look went out from the comfort room, I guess she's tired because of what she has done all day long, she wants to rest, her body can't move any faster, she doesn't have any energy left, as the mild breeze play w/ her long beautiful auburn hair, she looked where the breeze came from, she noticed an open window and move towards to where it is. She gazed, and she was unexpectedly found something… something she will treasure…

"Eh? It's a ….."

"Tree…"

A strong wind passed, and its leaves flew away by the wind, as if it's playing with the wind, she was amazed in what she saw

"This Tree…"

"Is not an ordinary tree…"

As she run away, and went to where the Tree was. And after a while she was already in front of the tree she adores, and whispered

"Sakura Tree"

The young brunette looked at the tree with amazement in her eyes, as she decided to climb on its branch and play…

A/N: Mikan got carried away that's why she's playing on the tree…

And after an hour there was a certain brunette girl, under the tree, she got tired and decided to sleep there.

-In Her Dream-

Our poor Mikan was awaken by the sound of the children's playing somewhere, but she didn't see anything, she was in a room covered w/ dark

"Where am I?"

"Hey… Hotaru…Yuriko-san, Shuichiro-san…Youichi... Where are you?"

"Help…. Is there anybody here?"

"Help me… Help me…" and a tear roll down on her face "help me… oji-san"

And she heard something, a voice but more likely laughter, laughing kids… they become more clearly in her senses… And a massive light broke the dominating darkness in her surrounding and covered it with white… all white… even her own shadow…

And she saw a door, she move towards it, and push it lightly and there she found the place…

.under the Sakura Tree…

She was dumbfounded in what she saw, it's the same place but it looks new, more refreshing and livelier…

She noticed a two kids playing, running w/ each other as if there's no tomorrow, one girl and one boy, it seems that they have big attachment in each other… the little girl was tripped on a rock, Mikan notice it move towards w/ them .

"Hey are you okay?" but she didn't get any reply from the little girl…

"Hey you okay little girl?" she asked again, hoping she will noticed her.

The Little girl begins crying, our little Mikan was shocked but not because of the little girl, it's because… She can't see her…, our poor Mikan gain her realization that she was in a dream and decided that she'll stay here for awhile because she was in a dream… and she like this place.

She look the two kids who start playing, but she noticed something, the little girl, it seems that she saw it before, she's familiar to her…

And she saw a woman in her mid twenties, she was amazed by her beauty, she's elegant, she's sweet, and the way she smiles is really familiar to her…

"That smile…"

The woman approached the two kids, and looking at her action, it seems that they have to leave already, the two children hugged each other, and the boy kissed the little girl in her rosy cheeks…

Mikan watched and smile in what she saw "How sweet, pure Friendship is the best after all.

The woman looks at mikan's direction and smiled at her, Mikan was startled from the woman's sudden action. She noticed the leaves falling from the sakura tree, it was really beautiful for her, beautiful scenery…she decided to end this dream and wake from her sweet slumber, and when she's going to stand from where she sit, she saw the kid in front of her, that made her sit again. A boy in his four or five years, he's looking at her with his crimson eyes, it was beautiful she thought…

"Yes? May I help you?" asked by our protagonist with sweet smile in her face.

"Are you going to leave now?" mumbled by the raven haired kid

"Huh?"

"Are you going to leave me too?"

Mikan looked at the kid, as if she was reading the kid through his eyes

"You're lonely aren't you" Mikan mumbled with a sweet smile in her face

The kid was startled from what he hears from Mikan, he can't bear the emotion he felt inside. He grabs Mikan shoulder and hugged her while tear drops flowing from his eyes. Mikan was startled with this sudden action but let it after while, she embraced the kid with her arms, she smell the scent of the kid, it was innocent… and she heard him whispering something to her…

"When time comes…

"Our heart will never lie…"

And the place, the whole place was covered with darkness, the kid in her arms was fading little by little, as she watched those crimson eyes, vanished in front of her own eyes.

The place was covered with black, it was cold, and our poor Mikan suddenly felt something the she hasn't feel before…

The feeling of loneliness, the feeling of not being love, the feeling of coldness, she don't want those feelings, she felt something in her face, it was warm and wet, and suddenly realized she was crying all the time…

"Stop… stop it already" as she begged to herself

And a light from nowhere came…

-End of the Dream-

She hears some sound, a familiar voice, a voice that belongs to her so called bestfriend…

"Mikan… where are you? Mikan…" Mikan little by little gained her consciousness from her deep slumber, and as the sound became more recognizable, it was her best friend after all, she made her worry so she came finding her best friend, who is nowhere to be seen.

She wiped her tears so her best friend wouldn't worry to her, she looked at the tree and smile before she leaves "Arigatou…" and she run to where her best friend was. She didn't know where the others so she decided to walk in the hallway, hoping she might see them there.

While walking in the hallway, she decided to stop by, where the painting was.

The young brunette looked at the hanging painting and gave a sweet smile…

"You're the kid in my dream…

"You're Lonely aren't you?..." as she gave a sweet smile

And she suddenly felt something, which she hasn't felt before, a weird feeling…

"what is this feeling, It's weird? " she squeezed her chest and slowly closed her eyes, and felt her heart bit, little by little it's going faster and faster the bit of her heart, she didn't know what is it nor didn't know what to do…

"I don't know what it is…

" I feel like I'm going to explode any moment…

" I feel like your someone I knew…

" you're familiar…

" but…

" Who are you?"
