Meanwhile…
"so what happen to your night with natsume?" sumire asked luna.
"I did what you told me to. I slipped the powder that you gave me before I went to his room and something did happen between us," she said while reminiscing what happened last night.
"it should work out properly then," sumire said while smirking at luna.
"yes. It will," she replied.
End of chapter 11
Chapter 12: truth to be told
"something kept for so long may be discovered someday,"
Continuing for the last chappie…
Inside the brunette's room laid a sleeping brown haired girl, beside her was a raven haired girl, looking after her. it was ryana.
K-N-O-C-K- K-N-O-C-K-
It was haine. "go get some sleep rya," haine said while approaching the two figures.
"are you okay with it?? wouldn't you mind?" she said.
"its okay! go ahead and get some sleep. I'll look after her, you might get sick you know, if you continue this," she said.
"fine then, but if you need something just come to my room okay?" she said while standing up. She walked to the door. She turned the golden knob when haine suddenly said "wait." causing ryana to stop at her tracks. Half of her body was already outside when she turned around and said "what is it?"
"Im sorry," she heard her best friend muttered looking downwards.
"oh its okay haine," while smiling ear to ear to her best friend. Then she went out and closed the door, leaving mikan and haine alone.
She looked at the sleeping brunette first before sitting as if asking her permission if she can. While looking at her, she mumbled her words of apology while holding the brunette's hand. She felt very bad and guilty on what she had said to the sweet and innocent brunette, she was just trying to help and she know it, yet she said those horrible and heart wrenching words to her at the heat of the moment.
"he-haine?" she was rubbing her innocent orbs to sharpen her newly-open eyes.
"Im sorry. I didn't mean to say those things to you, sorry for being rude."
"oh, it's okay," she said while flapping her hand up and down into the thin air.
"Im really sorry," she said.
"its okay! it's my fault anyway. so let's just be friends okay?" she said while reaching her hand out to hers, offering a handshake.
"so, do you wanna eat? I bet you're hungry. You haven't eaten yet right?" she was feeling a lot better now that she was able to say her apology to her. she nodded as an answer to her question. she smiled and said her "please," After that haine stood up, went into the door and said "I'll be right back," after that she was gone.
Mikan was once again alone inside her room. Then luna knocked and entered unwelcome inside her room. her face was carrying a serious expression as she approach the sitting brunette.
"feeling better?" she asked while smiling at her.
"yes, thank you for worrying," she said in a rightful manner, as she slightly inclines her head to show her respect.
"l was wondering if I can ask you a favor." She then said. Her tone of voice was completely different from before. Her tone was now more serious and commanding.
"su-sure," she said nervously.
"okay then, since you want to know my oh-so-easy-favor, here it is then." She stopped at the middle of her sentence "ready?" she continued.
She nodded.
"let me clear this to you. From what you had heard a while ago, it is true that something happened between natsume and I so don't even try meddling in our affairs," she said in an I-so-own-natsume-tone
She was shocked.
She was hurt.
She was jealous.
She was crying inside.
And for the second time in her stay, she didn't know what to say.
"Im not yet done with you sakura, so listen carefully" she said while grasping mikan's cheeks.
"from now until your remaining days in here, I want you to stay away as much as possible form natsume! I don't want to see you hanging around or flirting with him, understand?" she said in a menacing voice. Her eyes are burning with possessiveness. Her evil grin was resurfacing again from her face as she let goes of her cheeks. She didn't utter a word after those phrases, instead she looked down, and her hands are tightly gripped on her bed sheet.
"are we clear?" luna said, but she didn't reply. She then glared to luna at a very hateful way, every corner of her orbs were filled with anger as she continues to stare at the girl standing in front of her.
Luna was shocked but was able to maintain her composure. They were glaring at each other but luna broke it as she heard footsteps nearing the brunette's room. She walked towards the door, turned the door knob, and said "remember what I told you sakura, or your precious secret will be disclose," she said before leaving mikan's room.
Once again, her heart was filled with pain.
With lies.
With deception.
Haine then entered her room.
"here, do you need something else?" she asks while handing the tray of food to the brunette.
"I need a shoulder to cry on," she mumbled, her eyes was covered with her auburn bangs. Haine cannot tell what had happened but from the looks of it, for the second time, she was hurt by someone inside the mansion.
She didn't answer; instead she pulled the brunette's head towards her shoulder and let her rest onto it.
"cry as much as you like," she said while looking at her sideways. She was quiet for a while but after that she then burst out crying.
"what happened to you now?" she said, her voice was concern yet didn't show any signs of being shock.
"I'll tell you later, along with the others," she said hiccupping in between.
"okay then, if you say so..." she replies calmly, while stroking her long auburn hair. she continues sobbing, until she ran out of breath. She was gasping for air yet she continues to let out her negative feelings and pain.
She only stopped crying after a while. Gasping for air, she stood up, went straight into the bathroom, and washed her face. She totally forgot about the invention that hotaru gave her. it was a hair clip, a violet colored forget-me-not flower. She was wearing it the whole time and it was explained to her by her best friend that the clip itself reflects the emotion felt at a certain time by the person wearing it by the means of color changing.
"it's been blue for days now mikan, it even turned gray when you were unconscious," said haine who was leaning at the bathroom door.
"oh, I see. She must be worried about me then," she said. Her statement made haine wonder.
"what is she talking about?" she thought.
"anyway, let's go eat. Share with me okay?" she said while smiling once more at her.
"don't push yourself if you're not fine yet," her friend stated.
"Im fine, Im fine. Im feeling a lot better now." she said in a convincing way.
"if you say so," she said.
They were silent. She and haine are just eating together.
"haine, one more thing please. Can you call everybody for me except sumire and luna?" she said faintly while looking down.
"okay then. I'll be right back," she said as she stands up.
"thanks!"
She went out while mikan went to the bathroom to take a warm shower. A half hour passed. Mikan went out from the bathroom wearing her pink robe. Her hair was wrapped by her favorite white towel.
"sorry for bothering you." she said while walking going to her bed.
"it's alright. We're all bored anyway," yuuki said
"so what's the prob??" asked hei while playing with her yuuki's hair.
"uhm, I need to tell you something," mikan said, stammering.
"okay!"
"we'll listen!" said ryana.
"remember the day when a staff said to introduce yourselves??"
They all nodded.
"and luna and sumire suddenly cut me off and told me to tell you guys about my family background?"
They all nodded except for yuuki and hei.
"so where are we getting?" asked asae, who is getting impatient because of mikan's phrasy explanation. (A/n: translation: unfinished and cut, cut explanation)
"let her explain it. it must be complicated for her. she looks so serious." Nanako whispered to asae who was looking intently at mikan who was looking down.
"never mind her, mi-chan, just continue. We'll listen" said riiko who was sitting between hei and seriko.
"…" she didn't reply. Instead she looked at them and waited for them to stop.
S-I-L-E-N-C-E-
"you all know chikako misawa right?" she asked.
"of course we do!" they said in a faint shout.
"we're half sisters." she said flatly while taking a small picture out from her notebook, A picture of chikako and her in front of their elementary school.
"what's this?" asae asks.
"can you tell which is which?" mikan asked gloomily.
They all stared at the picture for a couple of minutes, in the end they gave up by saying "I can't," except for ryana who was observing the picture intently and thoroughly then she said "the girl who's wearing a pony tail is you, I suppose and the one who's hair is down is chikako right?" she said as she gazes upon mikan's reaction. She was quiet for a while, still looking down. She looked up and her tears are surfacing to her eyes. "how did you know?"
"you didn't change at all, you still have they same old sparkle in your eyes that you have right now." she said surely.
"thanks!" at least someone was making her feel better.
"so it's true then!"
"so that's why you joined!"
"so, does natsume know?" the brunette shook her head.
"when are you going to tell him?"
"when the right time comes."
"do you want us to help you?" they all said in unison but the brunette just smiled at them and said "no thanks."
Then the secret meeting was dismissed. They all bid their goodbye to each other and slept.
The next morning…
Mikan and the others are standing in front of the villa they were staying at. They are all waiting for the bus to arrive since today is the scheduled day where in they are going back to the mansion.
"mikan!" called tatsuru while running towards the villa.
"hi!" she said happily as if nothing happened these past few days
"I want to give you this," he said while reaching to his short's pocket.
It's a necklace. A simple looking white beaded necklace he bought yesterday.
"it nice!!" she said while holding it.
"I envy you mikan! he's so sweet!"
"hehehe," she said while putting the necklace by herself.
"here, let me help you," he said. She brought her hair up and gave the necklace to him. He went behind her and assisted her to put the necklace to her. CLICK. After that, the necklace was securely attached to her neck.
"thanks!" she said while arranging her hair.
"I'll mss you!"
"me too," she said as she throws herself to her childhood friend, giving him a tight hug.
"mikan!" called yuuki who was near natsume. she was observing natsume's reaction and she knows that the young lad was burning with jealousy.
"huh?" she asked, facing yuuki. Her eyes then met natsume's piercing, glaring ruby eyes. She was hypnotized by his eyes for a while but then she looked at a different direction upon seeing luna's death glare.
Cheater she thought.
"I guess we'll see each other again huh?" tatsuru said. Then out of nowhere she kissed mikan's cheeks. Making the brunette shocked and happy at the same time and the girls to squeal in excitement and sweetness, but as for natsume, what he was feeling was the opposite. He was burning with hatred and jealousy.
"who is this jerk anyway? And why is he holding MY MIKAN?" he thought.
"tch, loser," he continued.
"bye now!" natsume heard tatsuru said as he runs farther and farther away from the girls and mikan
"bye!" the brunette shouted.
After that the bus arrived. One by one they entered and occupied the seats inside.
"mikan! sit beside us!" called ryana, haine, and hei.
"is it okay with you guys?" she said. "cause I can sit over there," she continued while pointing to a chair far from all of them.
"silly goose! No! sit beside us!" hei said while hitting the empty seat beside her, signaling mikan that she can sit there.
"thanks!" she said as she sits next to hei.
"that's okay!" she said.
After occupying all of the sits inside the coaster, the bus started its engine and off they go…
While talking happily with hei, ryana, asae, yuuki, and haine, she sensed somebody throwing glances at her. she was looking from different places then she saw the culprit. The natsume hyuuga. He was secretly looking at her since the trip begun. He was wondering what happened to her because it's so obvious that the brunette was avoiding him and he doesn't have any idea why.
"I gotta talk to that little girl later," he thought
"what happened to her?? is she angry? or is she offended on what that bitch had said the other day?"
He continues pondering into his own thought, while mikan continue minding her own business. Hours after, the girls who were noisy and chatting a while ago all fell asleep; even mikan was one of them. Leaning on each other's shoulders, all of them were sleeping comfortably when someone said we're here!
They all woke up, rubbing their eyes; they one by one got up, grab their bags, and went off the coaster. Mikan being slow didn't notice that they went ahead of her, she also didn't notice that the only person who was there with her was natsume.
He saw her getting her bags from the shelf above her so he decided to go and help her. she knew that he's gonna approach her so she hurriedly grabs her stuff and was about to run when natsume suddenly grabbed her arm and said "why are you avoiding me?" in a questioning tone. His cold looking ruby eyes are covered by his long raven bangs.
She didn't answer, but she strangled her way out of natsume's grasp.
"you don't need to know," she said
"why?"
"cause I don't want you to, this has nothing to do with you and I just don't like you anymore."
"I don't believe you,"
"I don't care,"
She was let go by natsume but before resuming her walk she then said "Im sick of getting hurt every single day," then she walked off.
He was startled by her words "hurt? everyday?" he thought
After that, he went off the coaster too and went straight to the sakura trees to lessen his frustrations while mikan went straight to her room to drop off her belongings and was also planning to go to the sakura tree.
Meanwhile…
"where is natsume-kun?" asked a certain girl to everybody she comes across to.
"I don't know."
"I wonder what happen to mikan. why is she like that?" he was deep in his thought when he suddenly heard footsteps nearing his favorite spot. He hid himself to the other side of the sakura tree so that he will not be notice whoever the person may be.
"hi Mr. tree, long time no see," the soft and relaxing voice came from the standing brunette. She was rubbing the tree trunk slowly.
"what is she doing In here?" he thought.
"you know what, Mr. Tree, many things happened while we were away." she said. She was now sitting down near the tree roots. She was leaning comfortably to the other side of the trunk.
"luna was there too, she even told me that I should stay away from her natsume cause something happened between them." she said melancholically.
"that bitch!" he thought
"she even threaten me that if I don't stay away from him, she'll-," but she didn't finish her sentence.
"she'll what?" he thought.
"anyway, the whole trip was a mixture of happiness and sadness. At first I was glad that natsume was that caring to me, but after that, I guess not. Because of what had luna said, I began avoiding him from no definite reason at all and it hurts me," she said. She hugged her knees closer to her chest, leaned her forehead to her knees, and started sobbing quietly.
"but its okay, ryana, hei, haine, yuuki, asae and the others are there for me," she said between her cries.
Hearing this made him angry and sad at the same time yet he continue listening to her cries and complains.
"I hope everything will be fine after this because if this continues, maybe I'll just drop from this contest. Sorry ruka-pyon, sorry hotaru-chan, and sorry nee-chan," she said unclearly.
"nee-chan? i thought she's an only child."
"oi sakura!" shouted luna while approaching her.
"why are you with natsume before? Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?" she said furiously.
"but I don't even talked to him," she said while standing up.
"liar!" then she slapped her.
"oi bitch!" said a cold voice from behind.
"na-natsume?" said luna.
"what are you doing to her? and who told you that you own me huh bitch?" he continued while nearing himself at mikan.
"but something happened between us, and that makes us a couple," she said
"couple your face. And from now on, don't ever let me see you shitty face to me okay?!"
"na-natsu," mikan wasn't able to finish her sentence because she collapsed.
"mikan!"
"hn," said luna and walked off "we're not yet done," she muttered
"mikan! mikan! wake up!" cried the panicking natsume as he lightly slaps her cheeks but no response. He touched her forehead, it was burning hot.
"idiot! Straining yourself like that!" he said as he covers her cold body by his jacket. He carried her bridal style and brought her to his room. There he laid her cold and unconscious body to his warm and comfy bed and tucked her inside his warm and heavy blankets.
"idiot." He said while heading inside the bathroom to get a pail of cold water and a piece of cloth.
He went back and attended her the whole night, changing the piece of cloth into her forehead as it dries and. Eventually he only fell asleep after being satisfied at the lowering fever of the brunette.
"mikan, Im sorry," he mumbled while holding her hand as he drift off to his asleep.
