Chapter 10:
"Uh… Where am I?" Mikan said very softly. She looked around and her surrounding is very white. It's very immaculate, and very peaceful.
"Oh Mikan! You're finally awake!" the voice of a Yuu Tobita entered her ears.
"Yuu! Where am I?" Mikan asked. "You're in the hospital. Idiot." Then she saw Hotaru beside her bed. Then she tried to sit up but then failed.
"AH! I can't sit! I can't move my back!" Mikan exclaimed. "Idiot! Don't you remember? You slipped in the bathroom." A very cold voice suddenly spoke which sends shivers down her spine. Her sprained spine.
"N-n-natsume? And you came with Ruka!" she said with a smile. She gazed at Ruka, who was smiling at her, then looked back at Natsume, and she was still smiling.
"What?" he asked as his crimson eyes looked at her lying body.
"What happened?" she asked as she looked at him.
"Do you really want to know?" he asked as his bangs covered his eyes.
"I think so." She replied with a little hesitation in his voice.
She then turned her attention to the window.
"Make up your decision, little girl."
"Hotaru." Mikan said looking at her best friend with eyes as if to say 'Is it better if I didn't know what happened?'
"You should know Mikan. It's your life. But first, you must remember what happened before you became subconscious." Hotaru said and started to walk out. "Come on, Yuu." Then she turned the door knob followed by Yuu.
"I'll see you later Mikan. Get well soon." Yuu said before he left.
After they left, there were a few minutes of silence. Then Ruka broke the silence.
"How are you feeling, Mikan?" he said as he grabbed a chair and sat beside the bed.
"I think I'm fine." Mikan said while smiling.
"How's your sprain?" Ruka asked as he tried to look at Mikan's foot.
"Which sprain?" Mikan asked confused whether he was referring to her foot or to her back.
"Uh… both?"
"Well, I think the foot is fine. But I'm sad that I can't move for the moment." She said in a depressed tone. "But I'm glad that I didn't break my back. At least that's lucky. How did I even get a back sprain?"
"Idiot. You slipped in the bathroom." Natsume said still in the corner of the room.
"B-b-ba-bathroom?" she asked then she remembered what happened.
After she closed her bathroom door, she started to take off her clothes and carefully dipped her body in the bathtub. The she noticed her bathroom door not locked. "I'd better lock it before that perverted moron opens it." She said as she stood up without covering her body with a towel.
Unfortunately, her other feet is covered with bubbles which made her… slip.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Then she fell on her back and was unable to move. "Ow. I can't move. Everythings blurry. Help." She mumbled then fainted due to the inpact of her head hitting the marble floor.
'Wait, I stood up in the bath tub completely naked when I was going to lock the bathroom door right? Then that means…'
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! YOU PERVERT!!! YOU SAW!!!" Mikan screamed and pointed a finger at Natsume. Then after that, Mikan raised the blanket up to her chin as if that it would help him from seeing her body that night.
"Tch! It's not worth seeing, Polka-dots." and with that he walked away. His action made Mikan's blood boil.
"Hey you! I'm not finished talking with you yet! Come back here! Hey!" she called out until finally, it pushed the nurse's boiling point too and walked into Mikan's room.
"Ms. Sakura, the hospital is not a place for shouting. If you need to talk to anyone, summon them to your room or maybe talk to them when you get out of here. You must understand that there are patients that are sleeping and trying to rest. So please, Ms. Sakura, tone down your voice." And after the nurse's long sermon, she banged the door.
"Ow. Am I really that noisy Ruka?" Mikan said in a depressed voice.
"Uh… well. The nurse is right. Maybe you can shout at Natsume when you get out of this place." Ruka said in a convincing tone while having that smile plastered in his face.
"You're right Ruka." She said as she smiled at him warmly. Then there were a few moments of silence. But this silence was shooed away by Mikan.
"Ruka, tell me," she started "by any chance, did Natsume told you what happened?" Mikan said looking straight in his crystal blue eyes.
"Yes. He told me."
"Can you tell me?"
"Well, okay…" he said then he looked down and patted his bunny.
'Mikan!' Natsume thought as he rushed through the bathroom door when he heard the shout. "Polka-dots!" he said as he knocked on the door. No answer. "Polka-dots are you alright?" he asked as he knocked on the door, now a bit harder. "I'm gonna turn the knob if you don't answer." He said in an irritated voice.
"Okay. Three, two, one." He said and he took a deep breath and turned the knob slowly. He took a peak inside and he saw no one, at first. When he opened the door completely, he saw Mikan. Naked.
Natsume eyes grew and he quickly closed the door. "What did I just saw?" he asked himself. Beads of sweat were now all over his body. He can feel himself getting hot in the cheeks and all over the body.
'I didn't see it. This is a dream.' He thought to himself. Then he turned the door knob. It's really open. He quickly placed his arms back where it should belong.
"You see, he was still thinking what to do. Then he decided he will help you." Ruka narrated as Mikan took her time to understand it.
"FINE! I"LL GO IN THERE!" he said. Then he closed his eyes.
"But if we closed our eyes, we wouldn't see anything. That's why he just decided to look away."
He then went in there, still not looking at Mikan's naked body. He grabbed a towel then quickly covered Mikan's body. He then lifted her up and went to the hospital.
"Oh. So that's what happened. I should have thanked him instead of calling him pervert. I hope he's not mad at me." Mikan said.
"I know Natsume. And I bet he's not mad at you." Ruka said while smiling at her gently.
"You think so?" Mikan asked Ruka.
"No."
"Aw." She said as she pouted a little.
"But I know so." Ruka said at her as he tilted her face.
"Thanks Ruka. You're a star!" Mikan said while smiling warmly at him. And Mikan's action made him blush a thousand shades of red.
Mikan looked at the clock. It says 8:15 am. And she feels like there is something about 8:15 and Tuesday. And it has something to do with Ruka. But what is it? It's at the tip of her tongue. She just needed to say it. And suddenly, it dawned on her.
"RUKA! YOU'RE GONNA BE…" but then Ruka cut her.
"Late?"
"Yes! Now go!" Mikan said and there was guilt in her voice for she would never want anybody to be late. Not especially on Mr. Jinno's class.
"I want to stay here Mikan."
"But Ruka. You should attend class. I really feel guilty of keeping you." Mikan said as she looked away.
"But-… " Ruka tried to reason out but what will he say?
What are you gonna say Ruka? But you love her and you want to watch her?
But that would make her feel guilty
And if she feels guilty, it's your fault
So I should go to classes?
Yes! And with that, you can make her happy and worry-free.
Alright, I'll go to classes.
"Ruka. Please. Go to class." Mikan said with a convincing smile.
"Will you be alright?" He asked.
"Ruka, you're forgetting I'm Mikan Sakura. I can do this!" Mikan said as she raised her fist.
"Now go!" Mikan exclaimed to Ruka.
"I hope you get well soon." Ruka said before he closed the door.
"Yes. I will get well soon." Mikan said as she looked out the window and watched the world turn. After a few moments, she fell asleep.
-end of chapter-
I hope you liked it. It's more of a flash back thing. By the way, the one with bold paragraphs are the flash backs. Well, except this one. Please continue to read and review. Tell me how you feel about it. I think I really am trying to be funny. And I think I'm not doing a great job on it. Maybe because I'm a serious person. I'll try to be funny this year. Ah, anyway. Please DO review. Good are welcomed, bad are very much welcomed.

may520- Pete is Pete Wentz from the Fall Out Boy. Just google him. His name is Pete Kingston Wentz III or something like that. I don't really give a damn about his whole name since it's very long. But I tell you, he is handsome…
