Ok! I have a few things to say: 1) I'm so so sorry that it took me so long. 2) Since I took so long to post this who ever unscrambles the hidden message, that I will add after the chapter, will get a message from me letting you know what you get. 3) Thank you for continuing to read Misfortune or Blessing?.

Chapter 10: Just Peachy

(Natsume POV)

I slammed the door on my way out not even bothering to look where I was going. 'Why did that old man not tell me anything about an engagement? And who is Rei? Could Persona be Rei? No that would mean Mikan and Persona are related. Did I just call Polka with her actual name, what is happening to me?'

(Mikan's POV)

I sat there frozen in thought after I realized what had just happened. 'I'm an heiress? I'm engaged to Natsume Freaking Hyuuga? Everyone was hiding this from me? What the Popsicles is going on and why can't I remember anything about my Okaa-san, Otou-san, Auntie Kaoru or even Natsume? Why am I being kept in the dark?'

"Mikan?" I heard a voice call me, I turned to see Rei-nii looking at me with concern written all over his face. "Are you ok you seem a little pale? If it's because of the news just wait for two days to pass then you will find out about our past well mainly yours. Please know that I wouldn't have kept this from you if I knew you wouldn't take it hard." And with that Rei-nii jumped off my balcony and ran out of site.

I sat on my bed for a while in silence. After a few minutes there was a knock on my door I looked around my room to see that You-chan was asleep on my bed again so I went to the door and saw Tsubasa-senpai. I smiled at him and signaled him to be quiet and follow me. I shut my door quietly behind me so as not to wake up You-chan.

"So I take it you spoke to Uncle. What did he say?" Is the first thing Tsubasa-senpai said when we were in my living room.

I sighed for what felt like the 8th time that night but I still replied "Although I still haven't thought through it enough he did say something I'm sure you need to know. In two days we are all meeting in my uncle's office at 10am sharp no being late cuz I want to know what's going on as soon as possible." I started to turn around to go back to my room when I stopped and slightly looked back "Oh and can you please tell Misaki, even though Uncle will probably have already told her and she's preparing a way to drag you to the meeting with her, remind her of it please." I shut my door silently, went to my bed and curled up next to You-chan the last thought that drifted through my head was ' This will be the two longest days of my life'.

*Time skip*

I woke up the next morning 'it's only Thursday, I haven't even been in this school for a week and I'm already down in the dumps joy oh joy' I thought to myself. I felt something stir in my arms and that's when I remembered that You-chan fell asleep in my bed, I smiled softly and then turned to look at my alarm clock it read 7:30am 'What! I missed my run, no way I'm so going for a run to get rid of this foul mood.' I woke up You-chan and told him to go back to his dorm and get ready for school, even though it was still early and I knew Rei-nii would go wake him up in 30 minutes. When You-chan left I went to my closet and grabbed my running gear and changed. After changing I went to the kitchen and made some coffee for Hotaru and took it to her room with a note letting her know I wouldn't be at first period and to not to tell anyone. I know I'm going to be interrogated later by her but right now I really don't care.

*Time skip*

I'm back in my dorm wrapped in a towel, cuz I just got out of the shower, with Red blasting on my speakers when I heard knocking coming from my door. I paused my music and quickly pulled on my skirt for class. I walked to the door, still clad in a towel with only a skirt on underneath, I opened it when 'BAKA'.

"OW! Hotaru! The heck was that for? And aren't you supposed to be in class?" I shouted as I glared up at my best friend.

"That was for leaving me coffee in a mug and only a note this morning. I got excused by your Uncle Kazu who asked me to come find you and take you to class." Responded Hotaru.

As I got up I said "I'm sorry, I just really needed to get rid of my gloomy mood and anyways I was planning to go to second period." I looked at her to see her reaction and she wasn't happy yet. "So if you don't mind I'm going to go finish changing since you interrupted my first attempt." I added playfully while sticking my tongue out at her. She smiled, slightly but still smiled.

After I finished changing we walked to class and seeing as how we have 5 minute intervals between each class our normal group of friends came to greet us and of course asked me where I was and I told them that I slept in because I was exhausted from taking care of You-chan all night. I went to my seat with the excuse that I was still tired and wanted to close my eyes for a while. I sat down and rested my head in my arms on my desk and then it spoke.

"Still mad about last night Polka?"

I opened one eye to see that his face was still buried in his manga before answering "What's it to you pervert? Not like you care."

"So you're fine then, good." He said.

"Oh ya just peachy!" I retorted sarcastically.

Before he could respond Serina-sensei entered and started teaching whatever it is that she teaches, I don't know cuz as long as I pass my exams she lets me sleep and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
