Chapter 7

First step


"Missing you isn't the hardest part. Knowing that I once had you is"

It's an ordinary day today in the academy (I can't really think of a name in their academy. Can you help me? Just tell me a nice name for the academy!) and a lot of students are doing their daily routine.

Students now are currently having their break time. So, the cafeteria are full of students that are eating and etc. but a certain brunette is still in the locker doing her best to remember her password in her lock.

"Darn it." she cursed under her breathe.

She had already type her name, her birthday even Hotaru and Ruka's name and birthday but still it's always error. She banged the locker but still it won't budge.

"I hate lockers." She said.

She stopped for a moment and thought for a possible password. It can't be possible if it's Natsume. She can't remember that she had a password about Natsume.

"Don't tell me you forgot your password?" a cold voice interrupted her thoughts.

She turned her back and looked at the person who just interrupted her thoughts. It was Hotaru.

"Hotaru? Hi!" she beamed happily.

"Baka, we have been waiting for you in the cafeteria and here you are standing here and banging your locker." She emotionlessly said.

"Uhh." Mikan sweat drop. "Sorry, Hotaru."

"So, you forgot you locker password?" she asked her. She looked at the lock then to Mikan.

Mikan just nodded and grinned at Hotaru. "I changed it 2 weeks ago and I forgot what password I put."

Hotaru rolled her eyes. "That's what you get on doing stupid things like that."

She went beside Mikan. "I'm going to type the password. Move." She coldly said.

Mikan look at her with confuse eyes then she just nodded. "Thank you, I guess?" she said. She's very sure that she has to pay Hotaru after this. She moved a little and Hotaru started to type the password.

PASSWORD CORRECT

Mikan's locker opened. Mikan's eyes became wide and looked at Hotaru with shocked expression. How did she know the password? Well, she won't become the Imai Hotaru without sensible reason.

"How did you know it?" Mikan curiously asked.

"I was with you when you changed that password." She said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Mikan gasped. She can't remember anything about it. "Re-really? So, what's the password?" Mikan asked while she gets her stuff in the locker.

"Your anniversary."

Mikan stopped on getting her stuff. She looked at Hotaru with wide eyes. Their anniversary? How did she know about their anniversary? As far as she knows, she never told Hotaru about the year of their anniversary.

"How did you k-know?" she asked her.

Hotaru stared at her for a moment then she looked away from her. "I wouldn't be your bestfriend without sensible reason, Mikan."

Mikan sighed then continue getting her stuff. When she was done, she locked her locker then looked at Hotaru.

"Let's go." She said.

Hotaru nodded and they both went out to the locker room.

Natsume is walking in the hallways while reading his new manga. He was in his way to the Sakura tree. Then he remembered what happened yesterday. A small smile appeared in his luscious lips.

His heart beat fast when he remembered when Mikan said that he still loves him. Now he became happier and more persistence on getting her back. Knowing that she still love him is enough for him to live another day.

His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Natsume!" a male voice called him.

He spun around and saw his bestfriend walking to him.

"Hey Natsume!" he grinned at him.

"What do you want?" he boredly asked him.

"Well, do you want to have lunch with me?" he asked him.

Natsume raised one of his eyebrow and look at Ruka suspiciously. Ruka never invited Natsume in the cafeteria because he knows he doesn't like noisy places. Ruka notice the suspicious look of Natsume so he decided to put an emotionless calm face.

He was a bit startled by Ruka's emotionless calm face. When in the world he knew to have an emotionless and a calm face? Ruka really did change, huh?

"Sure." He slowly muttered.

Ruka smiled at him then he started walking. Natsume walked as well. "I want you to meet personally my girlfriend."

Natsume froze and he stopped walking. Ruka notice that Natsume stopped and he stopped too. He looked at Natsume with confuse eyes. "Is there something wrong?"

Natsume looked at him in a what-did-you-just-say look. "What? You have a girlfriend? Here?" he asked him.

Ruka just simply nodded. "Yeah. We've been going out more than 3 years now."

"Who is she?" Natsume can't believe that a shy Ruka have a girlfriend and he was very curious who the girl is.

Ruka smirk at him. "You'll meet her."

Natsume smirked back. "I'll be looking forward to that."

Then Natsume started walking and so, Ruka followed.

Mikan, Hotaru and the other member of the gang is eating and chitchatting happily in the cafeteria. They didn't even notice that a two young gorgeous lad were standing behind them. Until, a raven-haired girl noticed it.

"Ruka," Hotaru greeted her boyfriend.

Everyone looked up and saw Ruka and Natsume. Natsume was still a poker face and Ruka is grinning at them. Mikan gasped silently when she saw Ruka with Natsume.

"Well, guys," Ruka began. "I want you to meet my bestfriend, Natsume." he proudly said. They heard a loud gasp when Ruka said the word bestfriend. They all look at the owner of the gasp. It was Mikan.

"He….he is your… bestfriend!?" she asked in disbelief.

She never knew that Hyuuga Natsume is the bestfriend of Ruka Nogi. True, she saw them talking at each other but Ruka never mentioned about him being Natsume's bestfriend. She looked at Hotaru. She new that Hotaru know it but why did she not tell to Mikan. Then she looked back at Ruka and Natsume still in shock.

Ruka nodded and smiled at Mikan. "Yes Mikan. I'm sorry I didn't tell you last week. Well, he was kind of busy last week so I didn't get the chance of introducing him." he said innocently.

"Oh." Was only Mikan's response.

"Natsume, this is Anna the pink haired girl and that guy beside her is Yuu, her boyfriend." Ruka stated while he was pointing to Anna and Yuu.

"Hey Natsume." Anna smiled at him.

"Nice to meet you." Yuu politely said.

Natsume nodded at the both of them. "Hey,"

"Then this blue haired girl over here is Nonoko. She's Anna's twin and the guy beside her is Kitsunume, her boyfriend." Ruka said.

"Hi Natsume." Nonoko and Kitsunume said at the same time.

Natsume nodded again. "Hey," he muttered once again.

"And this is Koko, Kitsunume's twin and this girl beside him is his girlfriend, Sumire." Ruka introduced them.

"Hello Natsume." Sumire greeted him.

"Nice too see and meet you, Natsume" Koko grinned at him.

Natsume nodded repeatedly. "So, this gang has a lot of twins huh?"

The two pair of twins chuckled while Mikan just rolled her eyes.

Then Ruka looked at Mikan then to Natsume. "And here's Mikan, I guess, you already know her."

Natsume just shrug and Mikan looked away.

"Yeah, how did you know each other?" Sumire asked.

Anna nodded. "Is there any connection between the both of you?"

Natsume and Mikan was a bit shocked of Sumire and Anna's question. They remembered their first day when they said their name in the same time because of unexpectedly seeing each other again.

"I..Natsume…uhh, Natsume and I, uhh." Mikan stammered.

"We're childhood friends." Natsume saved her.

Mikan looked at Natsume then to Anna and Sumire. She showed her fake smile that she had been using for years then she nodded. "Yep, he's my childhood friend."

"You forgot about me, Ruka." Hotaru said while glaring at Ruka.

Ruka sweat drop and smiled at Hotaru. "Sorry, love."

Natsume shifted his stare to Hotaru. "Love?" he mimicked.

Ruka smiled at Natsume. "Natsume meet my girlfriend, Hotaru Imai." Ruka proudly said.

Natsume eyed Hotaru from head to toe and Hotaru did the same with him.

"The Ice Queen?" he asked Ruka.

Ruka nodded. "It's a long story."

"Nice to meet you, Natsume." Hotaru said while extending her arms for a shake hand.

Natsume shook Hotaru's hand and looked at her sternly. "Nice to meet you too, Hotaru."

Hotaru pulled her hands away. "I'm Mikan's bestfriend, by the way."

Natsume stayed calm. "I see."

Hotaru smirked. "Why not sit beside Mikan?"

"Hotaru.." Mikan whispered.

"Don't be shy Hyuuga." Her smirked became bigger.

Natsume glared at her then to Ruka then he made his way beside Mikan. Mikan moved a little so Natsume can sit beside her. Natsume silently sat beside Mikan.

"You know, Mikan and Natsume, you can be a cute couple." Nonoko giggled.

"I agree." Koko beamed.

Mikan blushed and so, Natsume but Natsume hid his blush under his bangs.

"Never." Mikan muttered.

Natsume stole a glance from Mikan. It pained him when she said the word never. I know she still loves him but when she said it, it was as if she really did mean it.

"Hn." Natsume said.

Ruka looked at Hotaru worriedly. Hotaru just shrug.

"Mikan," Mikan looked at her when she called her. "Tsubasa's coming home this Saturday."

Mikan's gloomy face changed into a happy one. "Really?" she beamed in happiness.

Hotaru nodded. "Would you want to accompany me in the airport?"

Mikan nodded happily. "Of course! I miss him so much"

Natsume's eyes twitch when he saw Mikan's reaction about the Tsubasa person. Who is he? Why is Mikan very happy to see him? He angrily thought.

"Who is Tsubasa?" Natsume asked Ruka.

"Tsubasa. Oh, he is Hotaru's half brother. He's still in America right now. He's a business man. He's a one year older from us." Ruka answered Natsume's question.

"Why does Polka look like happy when she heard his name?" Natsume asked again. He's really curious on this guy.

Ruka can sense in jealousy every time Natsume asked about Tsubasa. Looks like the plan is doing great. Ruka smiled at him. "Well, Tsubasa and Mikan are really closed. They always go out every weekend when Tsubasa still spend his time here in Japan."

"Go out?" Natsume gritted his teeth. Is he Polka's new boyfriend? He really want to strangle that guy. Even though he still haven't met the guy he now hate him, so much.

Ruka nodded. "When Mikan arrived here, she wasn't really cheerful like how Hotaru described her but when she met Tsubasa she became cheerful again and she started to be Mikan again." Ruka explained.

Natsume glared at Ruka then she looked at Mikan who was happily talking in her friends about Tsubasa. His glared became dangerous and scarier. Then he felt someone patted his shoulder. He looked at the person who patted him.

"Don't be jealous." Ruka said.

Natsume glared at him then glowered. "I'm not."

"Natsume, jealousy is a disease. Get well soon." He teased him. Ruka's smile became a smirk.

Natsume just shrugged and mumbled "Whatever."

He really wanted to see this person. Who really is he? Did Mikan use him to move on? But she still love him right? His mind is getting crazy. He looked at Mikan again. He can sense happiness when she talked about Tsubasa.

Then he remembered what Ruka said. Tsubasa made Mikan happy again. So, Tsubasa like Mikan? He has to meet Tsubasa, as soon as possible.

Maybe Mikan just lied about the fact that she still love him. Maybe Mikan know that he was there watching her that's why she said those stuff to have a revenge on him. He shook his head to erase those negative thoughts but he can't. It hurts him so much every time he saw Mikan's happy face when she kept babbling about this bastard.

Then he realized one thing. Missing Mikan, his only love, isn't really the hardest thing the most. It's that she had a new one now that makes her happy again and the fact that he was also the one who makes her happy a long time ago and knowing that he had her once but not anymore now.
