X. Chapter 12: Visiting Mom
"What?" Mikan asked. Making sure she heard right.
"Your mom called me she wanted us to go visit her today if you weren't busy," he told her.
"Oh yeah... um I'm busy," she lied.
"Mikan...you know I'll be there," he stared at her, and took her hands into his.
"If something goes wrong I'll be there don't be scared"
Mikan looked down. She didn't know what to do. She really didn't want to go but she was curious as to what her mother wanted her and Akira for. Akira? Why did she want Akira to come? Only one way to find out.
"I'll come," she told him. Akira smiled.
"Great I'll pick you up after work then?"
She nodded
"Sure"
An awkward silence soon developed. Mikan looked up and a light blush spread over her cheeks. He was staring at her rather intently and they were still holding hands. She stared back at him. From far away you could mistake them for having a staring contest but really they were just having a moment. But unfortunately for them-it didn't last long.
"Ahem" Natsume cleared his throat; disturbing their moment purposely; or so it seemed.
Natsume had been watching them from afar, getting quite annoyed about his presence; but, of course kept it hidden. He stayed quiet most of the time, but once it got to the" staring deeply at each other" scene. He couldn't restrain himself any longer and purposely ruined the moment.
Mikan didn't notice Natsume come; therefore, causing her to shriek.
"Natsume! Don't scare me like that" Mikan turned back and shouted at the boy who kept a bored expression.
Natsume? Since when did she start calling him Natsume? Most of the time she would call him Hyuuga, but surprisingly she felt the need to say his first name. To Mikan's surprise she could have swore she saw Natsume's eyes fill with amusement as well as shock. His mouth also seemed to twitch into a smirk. But only lasted a few seconds; therefore, making it difficult for Mikan to make sure what she saw was true.
"Oh, Natsume this is my childhood friend Akira" Mikan introduced them.
Akira had suddenly felt an uncomfortable atmosphere, he began to feel nervous. He approached Natsume with a smile, which who in return gave a bored expression, and a slight glare. Akira was smart; he could quickly understand that he was not liked by the other.
Akira gave a nervous laugh before boldly sticking his hand out towards Natsume.
"Hi it's nice to meet you"
"Hn" At first it seemed Natsume was going to stick his hand out towards Akira but really his true plan was to insert it into his pocket and walk away.
Yes... a nice introduction don't you think?
Mikan flared.
"Natsume! Get back here!" She shouted sticking a fist in the air showing how mad she truly was. She huffed and turned back towards Akira.
"Sorry Akira, Really he is quite ni-"She paused. Mikan giggled slightly embarrassed.
"As I was saying he is quite ni-"Mikan couldn't bring herself to say 'nice'. These 4 letters that made up the following word was difficult for our dear Mikan to say. Why exactly? Well... Natsume nice? In other words Natsume and Nice can never and let me repeat never be put together in one sentence. Why? Well... I think it's best we don't flashback. You all know how 'rude' (as some people like to call it) Natsume is. And of course it would probably be best for Mikan to not flash back to that cruel plan which somehow ended with a " tooth kiss".
Mikan sighed and chose to say something more...realistic.
"Natsume is um, well difficult to get along with but soon you get used to him" She smiled.
Akira smiled back and chucked as he was able to tell the problem she had just earlier.
"Well, I better go I'll get you after work" he told her before leaving.
Once he was gone Mikan quickly shot a glance around the cafe looking for a boy with crimson eyes and raven hair. Oh and all I have to say is...this might not be pretty.
"Natsume!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Mikan had only 5 more minutes until work was over. Akira would soon be picking her up and she needed to quickly finish her task before he arrived. She quickly wiped all the tables clean, fixed the pillows on the couches and took out the after Mikan ran towards the staff room and quickly opened her locker taking off her uniform and replacing it with a sweater. Lastly, she grabbed her purse and ran outside to find Akira leaning on his car.
"Oooh...Nice car" she said while approaching him.
"Hey" he said while getting off the car to give her a hug.
"Hi" she replied.
Akira opened the car door, being his polite self and made sure Mikan entered the car safely before closing the door and quickly running to the other side of the car.
He started up his car and they were on their way towards Sakura Mikan's house.
x.x.x.x.
Mikan stared at her old house from outside the gates. The tall gates opened revealing more of it. Nothing had changed since then. It still had its beautiful cherry blossom trees in the front of the house, which Mikan had loved to play around as a child. The large fountain in front of the drive way was still in its place while the bushes still were shaped as people; it still frightened Mikan to no end. Of course there was one thing that defiantly never changed. It was the feeling of emptiness. Mikan never liked this house; she always believed it was too big for its own good. There was only her mother, her father and herself who lived in this house and of course the maids and butlers. Most of the house was filled with maids and butlers and Mikan believed they had too many to count.
Mikan and Akira walked towards the front door. Knocking of course since Mikan no longer lived in this house. It was quickly opened by one of the maids that took care of Mikan as a child.
"Oh Hello Miss Sakura and Mr. Sanjuro" she welcomed them with a bow.
"Emily... even though I know longer live here, I would still like you to call me Mikan please and thank you" Mikan told the maid.
"I'm sorry Mikan; it is nice to have you back"
"Thank you" Mikan smiled.
"Please come this way to speak with your mother" Emily lead the way.
Emily led them towards the living room where Mrs. Sakura had been waiting. Emily went inside first informing that the teens had arrived.
"Let them in" Yuka ordered.
Mikan and Akira slowly entered. Right away the atmosphere had slowly become more intense.
