I really was feeling blocked with this chapter. A lot is happening in the next chapter!
Answering time!
Luna x Princess: I know! I also hope that!
Crazy Shortie: Really? Aww too bad, I wanted to surprise you! Answers soon I promise!
Foreverotaku: Thank you! And please don't apologize. I saw your Spanish review but please don't worry, I also speak the language. La verdad, no escribo en español porque no es mi idioma natal pero he estudiado el idioma. ¡Es maravilloso tener a una latina leyendo mi historia! Gracias por leer y claro que la continuaré.
StarElise: Luna is baaaad
Pretty-awesome-girl11d7: So you are a Natsume's girl?
I don't own G.A! (Thanks for the reviews!)
"Yukihira, please wake up already. Your parents are worried!"
"Why do you want me to call you by your name? I'm your maid after all"
"Mikan"
"Baka, wake up already!"
"Eat it all, I don't care if you don't like it!"
"Mikan, don't cry"
"No, we are not best friends…Baka!"
"Mikan, thank you"
Mikan felt her warm tears rolling through her face. Hotaru only stared at her tenderly while taking a handkerchief out of her pocket. With small touches, she started whipping her tears.
"H-Hotaru", she called with a threat of voice. "I'm sorry, I forgot about you-", she started apologizing but her purple-eyed friend didn't let her finish.
"I heard about the accident", she replied and met Mikan's eyes. "You know remember me, don't you?"
"I-I do, barely but I do!", she clarified with a smile.
She didn't remember every little fight or day spent together, but she remembered the most important pieces of memories together. In other words, she remembered her best friend.
"That is enough", she said brushing her short black hair out of her face.
"Let's get inside", Mikan invited.
Hotaru followed her silently but even if she kept that serious façade. She couldn't deny, at least not to herself, she was happy to see Mikan. She was even happier to be remembered by her best friend.
*Yesterday.4:30pm*
"Hotaru!", Ruka called her with a high pitched tone.
"What?", she asked showing her presence to Ruka.
He raised a brow and then spoke, "I know we are childhood friends but come on, I'm paying you…and a lot", he complained half joking.
She rolled her eyes and sighed softly. "Give me some crabs and I promise I will be a better maid", she offered with a smirk.
"I'll give you as many crabs as you want. I have a job for you", he started gaining Hotaru's attention since he said 'as many crabs as you want'. "I've found Mikan"
Her eyes widened, she was unable to hide her surprised and relief.
"Where is she?, she asked with determined eyes.
"She's sleeping in my room-", Ruka was explaining but he was left speaking alone since Hotaru was already gone.
She arrived to Ruka's room and entered quickly, not even caring about her role as maid. She stopped abruptly when she saw Mikan.
She couldn't help but to feel her eyes watering. She knew she couldn't shed a tear or it would break her heartless image. But, since Mikan was sleeping she used this as a chance and got closer to her.
"Are you crying?", Ruka asked surprising Hotaru.
"I'm not", she clarified with a poker face taking Mikan's fragile hand.
"Mikan, she has lost her memories", Ruka explained. "She had a car accident"
Hotaru flinched at that comment, letting go Mikan's hand.
"Make her remember, I'm sure you can do it"
Hotaru's mind was a mess. She couldn't believe her best friend had gone through so much. She hated herself for not being able to be with her. She wanted Mikan to remember her. She wanted to apologize for the fight they had when she disappeared.
"Let me take care of her", she asked.
Hotaru Imai was actually asking for a favor...that was new.
Ruka was surprised by her petition but he gave a warm smile showing she could do it.
Natsume entered the house really worried. He arrived home at 10pm thanks to Luna's appointment.
He felt guilty since he promised Mikan to return as soon as possible and he ended up arriving later that ever.
He knocked the door twice. He wasn't surprised by the silence given as a response. He slowly opened the door and held his breath to not wake up Mikan up.
He approached the bed…
"MIKAN!", he shouted when realizing the bed was empty.
He took his phone, almost drop it actually. He knew he couldn't call Mikan's number, he had her phone after all. He sighed in desperation as he dilled another number.
"Natsumeee?", she squealed happily on the other side of the phone. "You are calling to accept the deal?"
"Where did you take her!?", he asked trying to control his boiling blood.
"Who?", she asked innocently.
Actually she didn't know what he was talking about.
"Mikan! Don't play dumb!", he insisted raising his voice.
"Oh…her?", she asked trying to connect the dots.
She really didn't know where Mikan was but she was going to play along.
"She's not with me. But I know where she is", she clarified. "You want to do the deal now?"
"Where?"
"What I'm getting in exchange?"
"We'll make the deal", Natsume offered disappointed.
On the other hand, Luna smirked like a champion.
Luna ended the call feeling like a child in Christmas morning, this was her chance. She didn't know where she was or when she left Hyuuga's house but, she knew Narumi could find her.
"NARUMII!", she shouted loudly enough to make somebody deaf.
"Yes, Luna-sama", Narumi presented himself in her office.
He was rubbing his ears though…
"Mikan is lost, find her", she ordered amused.
Narumi tried to cover his surprise by nodding and leaving in search of Mikan.
Yes, Luna only had one piece on the chessboard but she was going to get a checkmate.
