Chapter 6
"Oh! I have to hurry!"Mikan thought. She was running fast and when she reached the corner, something, or SOMEONE bumped into her
BAM!
"Ouch! I'm sorry!"Mikan apologized then a hand appeared in front of her
"Come one, get up, little girl"a familiar voice went throught Mikan's ears. She looked up and it was Natsume
'Natsume..came for me and he gave me a hand'Mikan thought and was surprised by what Natsume is doing to her now.
"What, don't tell me I have to carry you, idiot"Natsume said
'Too bad the kind Natsume showed up for a few seconds'Mikan sighted. Mikan grabbed Natsume's hand and she stood up.
"Natsume, thank you"Mikan said with a smile
"Whatever...Let's go. Ruka and your crazy best friend are waiting for us."Natsume walked ahead, not letting Mikan see his blushing face.
"Hey Natsume! Wait for me!"Mikan exclaimed
Mikan managed to catch up with Natsume and they felt uneasy, with the silence and each other's presence.
'Oh, this silence...Natsume walking next to me...Maybe I should start...Yeah..'Mikan thought
"Um Natsume, I-"Mikan's sentence was cutted by Natsume
"I wanted you to know Mikan, that I was sent by Hotaru and Ruka. Your crazy best friend shot me with her stupid baka gun so I have no choice but to agree"Natsume said
"Oh..."Mikan said sadly 'I thought wrong, he just came here just to fetch me, not because he wanted to, because he was ordered to...Natsume, that hurts'Mikan thought 'I want to say I'm sorry,for what I've said earlier, Mikan'Natsume thought
"Well, you know what, I bumped into a guy that looks like you, only, his hair color is the same as mine."Mikan said
"So?"Natsume said
"Well, I just wanted you to know! That's all!"Mikan said annoyingly.
"Well, I'm not interested..."Natsume said
Mikan and Natsume remain silent again, but the feeling of uneasiness is gone.While Ruka and Hotaru were waiting for Mikan and Natsume, Ruka heard a noise
"Hey Hotaru, did you hear that?"Ruka asked
"No"Hotaru replied
Then Ruka heard the noise again, but this time, its much louder and nearer
"Hotaru, did you hear that, this time, it's much nearer, like it's coming from the bushes?"Ruka said
"Ruka"Hotaru said
"Yeah"Ruka said
"You're being paranoid"Hotaru said
"No I'm not being paranaaaaaaaaaah!!"Ruka screamed since he felt something clinging on his back and Ruka fainted
"What an idiot...I guess I better loosen the blackmailing "Then Hotaru grabbed the animal on Ruka's back
"Sashi! Sashi!! Oh there you are!"a little girl came out from the bushes and approached Hotaru
'That little girl, she looks likes me, when I was still a little girl. But her eyes, it's blue 'Hotaru thought.
"Is this yours?"Hotaru asked
"Yes! Thanks a lot miss!"the little girl smiled
"Hey, what's your name?"Hotaru asked gently
"My name is Nogi Akira, and this naughty monkey is Sashi!"Akira said cheerfully
"Well, Akira, that's a nice name"Hotaru complemented to the little girl
"Sorry but I have to go, nice to meet you..."
"Hotaru"
"Well, bye Hotaru-sempai!"Akira ran, carrying the naughty little monkey in her arms
"Weird..."Hotaru said to herself and went back to Ruka
"Ruka...Ruuuukaaa...Hmmm..."Hotaru poked Ruka with a stick and called out his name, but Ruka still doesn't respond, so Hotaru left him lying on the ground.
'Wait, I wonder..'Hotaru thought and reached for her pocket
"Nice, I got it"Hotaru took out her camera from her pocket and captured pictures of Ruka sleeping on the ground. Then she heard an annoying scream.
'They're here...Finally'Hotaru thought and captured more pictures
Mikan ran ahead of Natsume while Natsume was surprised when he saw Hotaru taking pictures of Ruka, lying on the ground
'That Imai is taking pictures of Ruka again. Poor,poor Ruka'Natsume sighted
"Hey you guys!"Mikan exclaimed, but Hotaru shot her with her baka gun
"Mikan, where have you been?"Hotaru said
"OUCH Hotaru! Why do you have to hit me?!"Mikan asked
"Because you've made me worry and I don't like to worry too much. So consider that as your punishment"Hotaru said
"Sorry, Hotaru, for making you worry"Mikan apologized
"Well, aren't we going to search for the others?"Natsume asked
'Natsume, what did you do this time?'Hotaru thought
"Whatever, let's go, we have to go back to the lab. It says in the transmitter that all of them are in the lab"Hotaru said to the two
"Okay then! Here we go!"Mikan exclaimed and walked ahead. While Hotaru and Natsume was behind, somehow, exchanging glares.
Let's see what are they thinking about...
'Natsume, what have you done this time huh?'Hotaru's eyes glowed 'What are you talking about Imai?'Natsume's eyes look at the other direction
Then Natsume felt something cold at his back and Natsume looked at Hotaru's eyes again
'You know what I'm talking about.What have you done to Mikan? I can see through the idiot's eyes that she's sad. She can't fool me with her fake smiles you know, so spit it out! Or else...'Hotaru poked the baka gun behing Natsume's back 'I just told her what you did to me and also I'm not interested in knowing a certain "someone"that looks like me'Natsume's eyes looks so cold 'You're such an idiot. You've just wasted the opportunity to tell her'Hotaru's eyes turned cold 'Tell her, what?'Natsume stared. '
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
"Hey Hotaru, did I just hear your baka gun fired?"Mikan asked
"You're must be imagining things"Hotaru said
"Yeah! Maybe you're right...Besides, I'm hungry"Mikan said
"Whatever.."Hotaru sighted
"Hey Hotaru, where's Natsume and Ruka by the way?"Mikan asked
"Oh, I don't know"Hotaru said. "Anyways, they borrowed the transmitter"
"Hehehe..Oh Hotaru"Mikan grabbed one of Hotaru's hands and they walked together
Meanwhile...
"That Imai..."Natsume was lying on the floor and saw Ruka looking at him
"Ruka"
"Natsume...This is the first time"
"First time?"
"Yeah, first time that I saw you got hit by Hotaru's powerful baka shots"
"How did you know?"
"Well, there's a note on your face and I read it. And she left us her transmitter"
"Tch...Let's go"Natsume stood up, then he walked together with Ruka, while using Hotaru's transmitter.
