Natsume's P.O.V
When I woke up from my zombie like sleep, I find my pretty little wife still in hers. Wow, even though she is completely oblivious to the world around her, she is so damn adorable. I shift slightly, hoping not to disturb her, yet it was in vain. She opened her big hazel eyes and looked at me groggily.
"Is something wrong?" she asks as she sits up.
"No, I just woke up. Just go back to sleep," I say softly, as I pat her head.
She doesn't even argue and drops down on my lap, asleep before she even hits my lap.
"MOMMY! DADDY! HELP!" I hear Kuro cry. Mikan is up in a second, running toward the source of the noise, with me on her heels.
We find Kuro and Akane in the kitchen, Kuro's hand is on fire and Akane is cowering in the corner.
"IT WONT STOP!" Kuro screams, as tears fall down his cheeks.
Mikan doesn't know whats happening. I steps forward and takes his hand.
"Kuro, calm down. All you have to do is breath in and out and think of something wet. Think of a bath or the ocean," I said softly.
Kuro nodded and closed his eyes and concentrated. Within seconds, the flames were gone and his hand was normal.
Akane came out from her corner and hugged Mikan's hip. Kuro went over to me and I picked him up and held him tightly against me.
"Daddy, what just happened? Is it bad? Is it because I was bad and stole pudding cups when mommy told me no more?" he asked as tears pooled in his eyes.
"No, sweetheart. Lets go sit on the couch and daddy and I will explain what just happened," said Mikan softly.
The next hour we spent explaining to the children Alices were. I showed them mine, which Kuro had gotten from me. Akane must have Mikan's Alice. Or Alices, were not sure yet. All we know is that we hate to see that our children are cursed with Alices. It seems cool for a while, fun even, but then you start to see the consequences of having them. I know that they wont be hauled off to Gakuen Alice, since Mikan and I are their parents, but still having them have to learn how to control there Alice and not show anyone in public is a challenge.
I looked at Mikan who was staring at the floor.
"Are you okay?" I ask her softly.
She gives me a hollow chuckle.
"Of course im fine," she says. I scooted towards her on the couch and wrapped her protectively in my arms.
"We will be alright, okay? Don't worry, we can do anything…" I say before she cuts me off. She tears herself out of my arms and stands up, practically shaking with rage.
" 'As long as were together,' right? You always told me that. You told me that before you got me pregnant with the twins, you know that? We weren't 'together' when I cried myself to sleep at night because I was sure you were with another women besides me. We weren't 'together' when I was screaming your name as I gave birth to the children with no one by my side. It was always I WAS ALONE and YOU WERE GONE. And when you were home, you practically just slept. I mean you never were really mine. Want to know something funny? People thought I was lying when I said I was married. Since you were ALWAYS GONE. In the end, you cant put anything over your work. You might have money, power, and looks, but I hope you know this. You can have any girls heart, but I gave you mine and you stepped on it. So even if it belongs to you, even if I will always love you, I know that you will only abandon me in the end," she said as tears streamed down her cheeks. She looked at me one more time and walked out of the house.
I was happy I had dropped the kids off at Ruka's to play with the animals, because after I was sure she was gone, I swallowed my pride sat against the couch, letting a few salt drops fall from my eyes.
I cried because I might have ruined everything when I divorced her.
I cried because I might lose her.
I cried because I know that if I lost her, then I would lose my life.
Mikan's P.O.V
I sat under the shade of the dozens of Sakura trees in the park. There I truly let myself break down, ignoring everything around me. I felt a familiar warm hand touch my head and looked up to see my best guy friend, Koko, looking down at me with soft eyes.
"Koko…." I say as I reach out my arms.
He gladly takes me into his arms and holds me tightly. Every once in a while he will whisper soft, reassuring words in my ears. Finally, I seem to run out of tears and gradually I loosen my death grip from around his neck.
"Are you alright?" Koko asks me, worry lining his brown eyes. I give him a small smile.
"Yeah, im alright. At least I think I am," I say quietly.
"It was him, wasn't it?" he asks me.
I hesitate before I nod my head. He hates Natsume. He thinks that nothing good can come from a rich, pretty boy, which is kind of funny considering he is technically one too. He also thinks that he isn't worth my tears. I met Koko a little bit after I divorced Natsume and still had those days when I would break down crying. He has been such a good friends and really helped me through everything.
"You remarried the son of a-" he said before I cut him off.
"Language!" I say, so accusumed to being around the twins that it slips before I even think about it.
He chuckles but his eyes look at me seriously.
"Why?" is all he asks.
"Well one- you know I love him, no matter how much of a bastard he is. I cant not love him. Its just not possible. But I could live without him, but he found out about the kids and two- threatened to take them away from me," I say.
Koko's eyes flare.
"How dare he! He has no right to do that. They are YOUR children. Not his." Koko says, very angerly.
"They love him, Koko, I couldn't do that to them now. I will stay married to him for their sake. It doesn't matter if I die in the process. He knows hes hurting me and doesn't care, so I will suffer in silence at least until the kids are out of the house." I say softly
Because even koko knows I will do anything for the kids.
Anything.
Koko's P.O.V
I want her to be mine. I mean, look what he is doing to her. I found her crying on the ground all by herself. Where was her husband? No where to be found. Who was the cause of her sadness? The bastard of course. I got the chance to hold her in my arms, and it just felt so right. She fit practically perfectly. She would most definitely be happy as my women.
"They love him, Koko, I couldn't do that to them now. I will stay married to him for their sake. It doesn't matter if I die in the process. He knows hes hurting me and doesn't care, so I will suffer in silence at least until the kids are out of the house," she whispers.
"You cant do that to yourself. I mean, that tourching yourself! Not even a saint would be that selfless. I cant let you do that to yourself, I wont let you do that to yourself," I say to her sternly.
"Its ok Koko I will be alright. I have my babies, so I cant be to miserably. I have Hotaru and Ruka and Anna and Nonoko and you, of course," she says to me, as she looks at me with her big, hazel eyes.
"You don't get it, do you? Think of yourself for once. I would stay and convince you to leave the bastard," she scowled at me for this "but I have places to be, and one of which includes a date," I say as I give her a quick hug and a peck on the forehead.
"With that Yuki girl?" she asks curiously. I -sadly- know its not jealousy, she either isn't the jealous type, or doesn't like me like that.
"Who?" I ask. I have dated way to many girls to know all of there names.
She rolls her eyes at me. "Playboy," she utters. Then she smiles and waves at me as I walk off.
If only she knew what I would do for her. I would have her fall asleep in my arms every night. Give her as many children as she wanted. Buy her everything that her heart desired. Tell her at least once ever hour I loved her. Kiss her every morning and every night. Anything. And I mean anything, she ever wanted would be hers before the request even came to her beautiful pink lips. If only she knew.
Natsume's P.O.V
It has been two hours. Why the hell isn't she back? Should I go look for her? I don't want to suffocate her. I just want to apologize, as much as my ego hates the idea of it. My heart beat my ego -for once- and I will fall to my knees and apologize. THE NATSUME HYUUGA APOLOGIZINIG yes, it was a historic moment. I was sitting on the couch, waiting for her to come home, when the door burst open. I look up, hoping to see Mikan, and finding someone completely different.
Luna stands in my door way. Her long bleach blond hair is tosseled, yet it has enough hairspray in it to tell its not natural. She is wearing a bright red, leather dress that seems at least 2 sizes to small by the tighness of it, I mean can she even breath -lets hope not-. The dress barely covers her small-excuse-for-a-butt. To top it off she is wearing an obnoxious shade of red lipstick that looks like shit, stilletoes that she can barely walk in, and her face looks like she got gang banged by Crayola -don't own-.
"Go away, I don't want to see you or your ugly face," I say to her.
"Oh, Natsu-chan, I heard rumors going around that you married some stupid whore that claims you're the father of her stupid kids. I had to make sure it wasn't the truth and it was only me you love," she said, pouting.
"Don't you ever talk about my childrent and wife like that again or so help me it will be a day you regret for the rest of your slut-fest life," I threaten, sending her a death glare that made her flinch.
She recovered and and walked toward me, swaying her hips obviously to much. She sat down next to me and got as close as she could to me before she grabs my face and kissed me. For a second I was registering the fact that she was kissing me, then I heard a gasp in the backround turned to look, only to hear the door slam. I push Luna away from me as she smirks at me.
"GET. OUT. OR SO HELP ME" I scream at her. Fear flashes across her face as she scampers to the door and I grab my coat and run into the garage, and jump into my black Corvette -don't own, wish I did- and race off to find her.
'How many times do you have to screw up today, you idoit,' I scold myself, as I race to find her.
Mikan's P.O.V
I wander the park after Koko leaves and think over what he has said. Of course I wont leave Natsume, I could barely do it once, let alone twice. So I immediately pushed the thought out of my mind as I walked, completely lost in thought.
The sun was staring to set before I even started my journey home. I would apologize for yelling at him, though I wouldn't apologize for what I said. As much as I hate to admit it, it was all true. I looked at the beautiful sunset as I walked home, only stopping to get sushi, Natsume's absolute favorite, from his favorite resturaunt. I reached our house and saw a sky blue convertible parked in the drive way. That was odd, she didn't know anyone who had that car.
She quietly walked through the door and placed the sushi on the side table by the door. Quietly, she walked into the living room only to see the one thing she dreaded most. Natsume had a blond haired slut kissing him. I let out an uncontrollable gasp as I ran out the door.
I thought I had cried all my tears, but I was mistaken. I fished my keys out of my purse, which, luckily I had grabbed, and jumped into my jeep -don't own- and drove to the only place I knew where to go. Hotaru's office. I knew she would be there. The earliest she would leave was 8 o clock at night. It was only about 6:45.
I got to the gigantic company and walked through the doors. Everyone knew who I was, so they didn't even question me as I made my way up to the penthouse, where Hotaru's office was. I got there and opened the door, seeing Hotaru tinkering with one of her inventtions. She looks at me, with my hair wind tossed and messy, my tank top and shorts wrinkled. My face tear stained and tears were pooling in my eyes and I was completely barefoot.
"Hotaru…" was all I could whisper before the waterworks turned on and I was bawling. Now, I should mention this. I might seem really pathetic, but Hotaru wouldn't show me affection if I was just being pathetic. But she hugged me tightly and let me cry on her shoulder. When she figured I had cried enough, she led me to one of her comfortable leather couches, and sat me down.
"What did he do?" she knowingly asks.
So I told her the whole story, starting from this morning. By the end, she had a angry scowl on her face.
"The bastard. He has no right to hurt my Mikan like that. Im the only one who can make her cry," she mumbled. I giggle at this coment and wipe away my tears.
"What should I do?" I ask.
"Well first off, you are not going home to see that bastard. Your coming home with me. Secondly, you can CONSIDER going home when he apologizes," she says.
I nod sleepily and lay on the couch. I doze until she wakes me up and we head for her house. The kids are already asleep after there exhausting day on the farm with Ruka and he greets his wife with a kiss and a hug for me. Hotaru gives me some pajamas an sits me in front of the vanity in the guest room and starts brushing my hair like she did when we were kids.
"I don't get Natsume. He is just so stupid. I mean, you might be dense at times, but your smart, beautiful, caring, and cheerful. There isn't any better women out there then you," she says softly. Over the years, she has softened because of Ruka. I turn to her and smile sleepily. I walk over to bed and get under the covers. She tucks me in like a small child and kisses my forehead.
"It will all work out in the end. Just sleep," she says. And I listen to her and fall into a dreamless slumber, where the only thing there is, is simply nothing.
Hotaru's P.O.V
After im sure that Mikan is asleep, I answer my phone.
"Oh god, Hotaru, she gone. She is gone and I cant find her," Natsume said in a paniced voice, his macho attitude replaced with desperation.
"Well you better find her. This is entirely your fault." I say icily.
"SHE DIDN'T LET ME EXPLAIN. THE STUPID WHORE KISSED ME." he yelled.
"Well, I have a feeling there is more to the story. If she isn't back or found by 8 am tomorrow morning, you will regret ever taking your first breath," I threaten, inwardly laughing because I know that she wont be back by then.
"Please, just call me if she comes to you, im begging you," he pleaded.
I almost wanted to tell the desperate bastard, but then I remembered Mikan's crying face.
"Im sure she is crying somewhere. She is so out of your league. You don't even deserve her and there are hundreds of guys who would easily take your place," I spat.
"Like I don't know that," he growled, then he hung up the phone.
"Wasn't that a bit harsh?" asked Ruka. I looked up at him, my eyes softening.
"He hurt Mikan." I state, bluntly.
"He is trying though," he said.
"He divorced her in the first place."
Ruka sighed, knowing all to well she was correct.
"Now he has to earn it back. Not just from Mikan. He hurt everyone when he did that to her," I said as I walked towards our room.
That was the truth. He hurt Mikan, he hurt her.
