On wit de story

Chapter 11

Natsume's POV

This girl keeps leaving me stunned.

Since when did she learn how to make pancakes?

And lasagna?!

And not poison it?!

What they didn't know was that I was watching them from the moment they retreated to Alice's? apartment. I saw how they went all puppy dog eyes to make her make them dinner.

I guess the one named Jake didn't have a good memory from kitchens cuz after dividing the work he stood frozen with a shocked expression for five minutes. The least.

What amazed me was Mikan's movement. They were confident and quick.

I was dazed with her gentle smile while she was looking at her younger sister and brother while they were fighting. Again.

I felt a sting of jealousy.

I wanted her to smile at me. To smile for me.

I laughed with Jake and Alice when she almost glued that pancake to the sealing.

Then she froze it!

Literally!

It had at least an inch of ice to cover it.

Shit.

I don't wanna know the pain it cost when you get hit by that!

The something came flying fast towards my head.

Too late!

"OW!"

Already felt it.

Ad it HURT dammit!

Well, there goes my cover.

I got on the window frame and entered the room.

Immediately I felt two pairs of glares on me and an ice cold look that belonged to Mikan. Even if it got me a little uncomfortable I sat on a chair and slouched.

"Oh, come on now. Mikan continue making them laugh. And smile. By the way you mace good pancakes." I said and smirked.

"Get the hell out." Growled Jake.

"Calm down dog. Are you a dog, you seem to growl a lot?" I didn't mean to laugh so hard but he was just so funny.

I could sense Mikan's anger and I almost. ALMOST regretted to mock her sibling.

"Why are you here?" Mikan asked with a cold tone and I looked at her seriously.

"I'm here to eat some of your lasagna."

"Like you're getting any." Scoffed Alice.

"I'm not leaving until I do." I stated calmly and prepared a place for myself.

They gave up and I got a plate.

On the first bite my eyes widened.

This was delicious!

Then I smiled at myself.

Of course it's delicious, Mikan prepared it.

After I finished, I jumped out of the window when they weren't looking and went back to my apartment.

Thoughts filling my head.

She really changed so much.

And why was she so ice cold to me?

Yeah, I know that she's angry but why so much effort to make me apologize?

The trail of thought made me consider another topic.

Did she tell them about what happened here?

Yeah, maybe she did.

And… maybe they told her to act that way to me.

I shook my head.

No, they wouldn't. She's older right?

But… then again she had the way of thinking of a five year old.

My eyes narrowed. Tomorrow I'll tell my opinion to Imai and Yome.

Maybe they have a solution of their. Although I doubt that Koko will have a reasonable opinion.

These thoughts were in my head when I felt myself falling to sleep on my bed.

The next day…

Mikan's POV (I just love writing on behalf of her… :) )

"Mikan-nee… wake up." Said a shaky voice.

Jake.

"Louder you idiot. We had a bet and you lost it. Now you'll have to wake her up."

"Yeah, and get beaten to a pulp if she's in a bad mood after last night huh? " You could hear clearly the irony in Jake's voice.

"Oh come on. It might make your face a little prettier." I opened my eyes slightly to see a quietly laughing Alice and an irritated Jake.

"What are you talking about zombie girl? My face is like the one of an angel." He struck a pose and Alice scoffed.

"I'm not gonna tell you what your face looks like cuz then with your chicken brain, you'll decide to shout and wake up Mikan-nee. Then you'll bet beaten for sure."

"Too late for that." I said and lifted myself from the bed. They jumped and Alice pushed Jake on me.

"If you're going to kill someone it better be him. It would be a good riddance anyway…" She trailed off as I pushed Jake off me.

"First a shower, then I'm gonna have to see what I'm gonna do with you two." I said in a deep voice and entered the bathroom.

My first thought was:

Wait, this isn't our bathroom?

But then I remembered it all.

Remembered them.

Remembered him.

Uhh, shit…

I got under the shower and hot water poured over me, releasing the tension I had build up quickly from thinking of … them.

After my relaxing half an hour life saving shower I saw that Alice had picked my wardrobe for today.

Oh, she gave me her "If you cherish your life don't piss me off" grey and red V-neck, a grey and red skirt with fake stitches and rips and a pair of grey boots that reached my ankle. There were also my grey and red leggings and arm warmers that reached my elbow.

Fine with me.

I didn't like my uniform here anyway.

After dressing myself Alice quickly made me some toast, bacon and eggs.

"Hey, where's my breakfast? " Whined Jake.

"For you, there isn't a thing in the fridge." Alice smirked. He gave her a glare and laughing she put in front of him the same she gave to me.

They smiled to each other.

Yep, once in a while, when they don't argue or fight or glare at each other, they would act like a normal sister and brother.

"So what are we doing today?" Asked Jake and I immediately answered.

"We're going to tear my room down and get some real stuff for it."

At the memory of my … I felt chills up my spine… "Room" they fell on the floor laughing.

I raised a brow and continued to eat.

"Come on, I'm done." I said as I ate the last piece of bacon and heading to the door.

"Matte Mikan-nee! We didn't eat breakfast yet." They whined and I again raised my brow.

"Well, if you didn't laugh and eat we would be done by now." They started to gobble down the food and for less than a minute they were done.

I was amused.

There was some bacon sticking out of Jake's mouth and Alice had blueberry jam on her nose.

They looked at each other.

"Why, you really look like a dog."

"And you eat like a pig to have food even on your nose."

I sighed and shook my head while leaving them bucker.

They caught up to me and we walked calmly down to the school's exit.

Students were looking at us with either fascination or jealousy.

"Why aren't they in class?"

"Cuz they can afford to skip that's why."

"I think that they are dumb and skip cuz they can't handle it."

Murmurs were heard around the school but we ignored them.

We were used to it.

"Will they perform in today's contest? "

"Of course. I at least would. I wouldn't miss a chance to sing with Natsumeeee- sama!"

Stupid people.

Wait what?!

Natsume's the lead singer of "Your Nightmare"?!

Uh, great. I have to deal with him again.

We teleported to town.

I looked around me and saw the same streets, the same shops the same atmosphere.

Nothing has changed her.

Nothing.

"Come on, I saw a shop that's like my favorite one in America!" Squeaked Alice and dragged to the shop.

Yeah, she was right. I guess the woman had enough money to make a branch here.

But this one was bigger.

It had … everything!

Literally!

Furniture, clothes, even wallpaper and different kinds of paint.

Alice's eyes had stars in them and Jake was already at some sneakers.

First we went to the wallpaper and paint section.

I decided that I want neon green and black and the lady was pleased with the choice. She did have style and we asked her for some advice. She was really helpful.

Then the furniture.

They were either neon purple, green or pure black.

I liked those colors.

We got everything we wanted and even shopped for some more clothes.

Mainly tees of bands.

They even called a truck to drive my new stuff to the school.

We walked out of the store content, many bags in our hands.

"Guys I have to go somewhere." I said as I looked at the place where my favorite music store was.

Oh, how I missed it.

I visited it everyday before going to America and it tore my heart to be away from it. I wanted to visit Mr. Jackson's grave too.

I used to talk to him everyday and play him something because he said that he liked to listen to me playing my violin.

Alice and Jake now knew the story and saddened, their smiles faded away.

"Mikan, we have to go. I'm sorry. The principal wanted to see us before the competition and he wanted us to practice." Said Alice and put her hand on my shoulder. I looked at her with sadness.

"Did we take so much time in there?" I asked but I already knew the answer. She nodded slightly and we decided to wait for the bus and walk to the school.

On the way I was thinking.

I was sorry that I spent so much time on a stupid shop rather than seeing my teacher's grave.

That was very rude of me.

"I promise shishou (teacher) that after the stupid thing I'll come straight to you."

"I'm sorry." I whispered to nobody.

Normal POV

The class was exited that "Sweet Poison" was in their class and were waiting impatiently for them to walk in through the door.

5 minutes…

10 minutes…

30 minutes…

"Where are they?" Asked an annoyed Natsume. Hotaru and Koko were sitting in front of him and they were just as nervous as him.

When Natsume walked in class he went straight to them and told him his thought of Alice and Jake making Mikan act like that and they thought about it.

Narumi sensei walked in sulking.

The class was puzzled and asked him what was wrong.

"Sweet Poison" isn't coming to class today. They prefer to ditch class. The Principal told me that they aren't forced to go to class so … "He sulked even harder and curled in a ball in the corner of the room, wiggling and crying how Mikan didn't like him anymore.

Natsume's mouth dropped.

She would never miss a class!

Even late, she would be here!

That moment they heard a truck coming and behind it were walking "Sweet Poison"!

There was furniture in neon or black colors and the movers were very careful not to drop anything. Mikan was telling them where to put them and Natsume, Hotaru and Koko went to her room, not caring about class. There were on the stairs when they saw how Mikan was paying them and with her brother and sister started to lift the things they could carry.

They looked in the room and saw how with a snap of her fingers Mikan changed her room.

They gasped.

"What … the…" They thought.

The room was painted in black and neon green stripes and the furniture was either neon or black. There was a black bed with veil, a neon green and purple desk, a green colored carpet.

Damnit, even the floor was black!

Posters of bands were covering the walls and her backpack was lying on the floor filled with sheets of music.

Her violin case close to the bed.

Alice and Jake were putting her black lamp on the desk and turned to the stunned trio.

They grinned.

"Much better huh sis?" They asked Mikan and looked at a pisses as hell Natsume, Hotaru and Koko.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" They yelled and that startled them. Mikan turned and just watched their fight.

"What do you mean? That old room was too PINK! What the hell do you know? We know her more that you!" Alice shouted and Natsume's brow twitched.

"Listen you! I don't care how dear you are to Mikan but stop brainwashing her!" He yelled in return and Jake growled.

"We didn't do anything that Mikan-nee didn't want! Got it?" He raised his voice and Hotaru joined.

"What do you mean? We know her better that you ever will! With what lies did you fill her head?"

"Yeah, stop commanding her to hate us!" Koko finished with a frowning face.

"Why you bastards! Go to hell! We don't command her to hate you it's her choice and we now perfectly understand now. How big your ego can get eh?! You have nearly shattered her and we were the ones that helped her get on her feet after what you've done! Do you not consider that she can think on her own?!" Yelled Alice. She was furious now.

Alice's POV

Sick and twisted bastards!

Their ego is as high as the sky!

How dare they even think that Mikan-nee can't make own decisions?!

Jake's POV

I. Am. A. Step. Away. To. Tear. Them. To. Pieces.

Mikan's POV

"You… "I said with an ice cold tone.

The coldest I've ever used and everyone fliched.

I looked at the group that dared to accuse them of … brainwashing me?!

WHAT THE FUCK?!

"Get out." I said.

"They again fliched but didn't do as I said.

That did it.

I was pissed.

"Oh-ouh…" Whispered Alice and Jake gulped.

A demonic aura was sensed around me.

"HOW DARE YOU!?" I SHOUTED TO THEM. "I DON'T HAVE A BRAIN TO THINK HUH?! News flash – I'm not the weak and old Mikan. After you nearly killed me you have the nerve to come back and think that I'll come crawling back to you?!" I spat with venom. "Coming here and insulting the people that suffered as much as me and were accused their whole life. How low could you possibly stoop? I have a brain and I make my own decisions. Get the hell out of my sight and don't bother talking to me." I finished and with my levitation alice pushed them roughly out of the room. They hit the wall opposite us and the door crashed.

I was filled with anger.

It was red before my eyes.

Blood.

I wanted blood.

I wanted revenge.

I was turned into this.

Forced to turn into this.

All because of them.

All because of their big ego.

I jumped out of the window ignoring the screams and cries and ran to the forest.

Getting there I started to punch a near by tree and it snapped in two from the impact of my hand.

I wasn't done.

I wanted more.

Hitting everything that was in front of me.

Burning it down to ashes.

Throwing the whole tree, separating it from its roots and crushing it to tiny pieces.

Imagining that it was the face of the arrogant Hyuuga, Imai and Yome.

While hitting I cried.

Letting out my angst and offence on a big part of the forest.

"I hate you!"

"I HATE YOU!" I screamed with all my might and the whole school heard me.

I felt a pair of hands hugging me from the back and a tissue whipping my tears away.

Opening my eyes and focusing my gaze I saw the sad faces of my siblings.

Youichi and Personna-nii.

Youichi was hugging me tight while Personna-nii was whipping the tears from my face and blood from my whole hands.

I didn't feel pain.

I didn't feel how my flesh was torn while hitting everything that stood in my way.

All I felt was the anger.

The anger and… disappointment.

How could I even think that they would change a little bit?

No, I was terribly wrong.

Still the same arrogant, egoistical bastards as before.

"Mikan-nee… I'm sorry." Said Youichi and I hugged him tight.

"It isn't your fault Youichi. I love you." I told him and he snuggled closer.

My clothes weren't in a good shape so I snapped my fingers and they were as good as new.

I didn't do the same with my wounds.

What was the point?

"Come on Mikan. The P. wants you to practice with your band." Personna-nii said with gritted teeth.

"I'm so sorry Mikan… I let you get hurt and disappointed again. I'm useless in the end…" I heard his thoughts while he was putting the medication supplies back in the first aid box.

"No nii-san. You-re not useless. You are the reason that I'm standing here alive today. I want to handle this myself. I am strong."

As soon as I said that they both hugged me tightly.

"We know you're strong. You are the only reason why those bastards aren't dead yet." Said Youichi and I looked him with a raised brow.

"Language young man." I scolded him and they both laughed.

"I told him to watch his tongue around you but he slipped yet again. Only you could scold him at a time like this.

I laughed and we got back in the school.

Of course not until I restored every tree with my alice that I ripped to shreds.

At the gate I was choked from Alice and Jake.

They had tears in their eyes and were "worried sake" about me.

"Mikan-nee we were worried sake about you! Please don't do that again." They begged and I only nodded.

"Where are our instruments?" I asked Personna-nii and he said that they set us up in the gym. Unfortunately he also added that we have to perform because there was a huge crowd around the stage.

I pouted.

Of course.

As always.

We opened the huge doors to the gym and the fans started to scream.

"Mikie-san you're awesome!"

"Please go on a date with me!"

"Marry me!"

"Jake I would do anything for you!"

"Alice you're the most beautiful young maiden I've ever seen!"

Jake laughed his ass off when he heard that.

He had his fun until Alice smacked him behind the head and pouting her rubbed the sore spot that had a fine red print of a small hand.

I got on stage and the first thing we did were vocal exercises.

Jake put his ear plugs dramatically and that earned him another smack.

Our voice were alright and the next thing we did was to hit some accords on the guitars and do time on the drums.

Personna-nii and Youichi were sitting on chairs near the stage but they suddenly shot from their seats and headed to the doors.

I just shrugged my shoulders thinking that they probably have better work to do.

"Mikan, I just had a message from the P." Said Alice and Jake and I turned to her.

"What does he want this time?" I asked clearly irritated that someone dares to interrupt our practice.

If that didn't the screaming in our ears people sure did.

"He said that the contest was in three parts:

The first part is a fast and angst song,

The second is a slow song

And the third is a screaming song."

"Screaming? " Jake thought out loud.

"No, not her you. The first two rounds Mikan will sing but the final is your turn." Answered Alice.

"That's it?" I asked. I wasn't concerned about that. Jake could hold his voice and I practiced it for two years so there wasn't any problem.
"Are you sure? I don't know. I … I'm not as good in singing…"Jake trained off and this time Alice couldn't stand it anymore smacked his mouth.

When she removed her hand from his lips there was a piece of tape.

Jake started to Hm.

"Hereh he hew wi hwh hmwe hmweh wahem hewm?" He streaked through the tape and Alice started to snicker.

"What did he say?" She asked through her smirk.

"Where the hell do you keep that freaking tape?" I asked and smirked with her. We looked each other and pulled the tape from his mouth.

"MOTHER FU*CKING OW!" He screamed and we snickered.

"That happens when you question my/ Mikan's lessons." We said in unison.

"Fine, fine. " He mumbled and got back to a safe place behind his beloved drums. "I'll do it but dot tape my mouth again."

Alice smirked again.

"Don't worry, you're non existent mustache is safe." Jake's eyes narrowed.

"Actually I think that it looks better this way." She continued and I had to tear them up from fighting.

Good thing there was a curtain, hiding us or the fans would have a free comedy show every time they see us.

So, I hope you enjoy this and every other chapter that i post! :)

R&R please!

Jan e!
