I love you guys so much! You are the people who motivate me to write more and more! I will try to be updating a bit faster now. Enjoy the story!

She leaned over to Mikan's face, about to kiss her until Mikan was able to get free of the grip and pushed her forward. Little did she know that her wig was also stuck in the grip.

As Luna fell back Mikan's wig flew off and her silky brunette hair flowed out into the open.

Luna's eyes widened as she saw it all unfolding.

"…Mikan Sakura?!"

Chapter 14: Her Advantage

Mikan suddenly froze when she felt her brunette hair fall to her shoulders. It wasn't a good sign, and she instantly knew that.

Luna saw. The last person she wanted to see.

Luna started to shake inward, her thoughts of clinging onto the "Miko" she had loved, ended up being her long time rival she hated all this time. Never in her life had she been so humiliated, and Mikan most definitely wasn't going to get away with it.

"You…YOU…" Luna screamed out as she started to flare with anger. It was shameful of what she had done to her rival…and her pride has fully died out. She had an advantage though, the item in her hand that would reveal it all.

Mikan's wig.

A smirk formed on her face. "Well well… look what I have here." she said in a mocking tone while showing Mikan her brunette wig that was now in the hands of a total bitch. Mikan knew that Luna wasn't going to give it up to her without something in return.

Blackmail is what Luna wanted to succeed in… and currently she's winning.

Our little brunette looked defeated, not knowing what to do now. She could either try to get the wig back by force, but if she didn't succeed in that then her identity would be revealed.

Her teeth started to tighten before she spoke. "Ok Luna, what do you want from me?"

Content formed on Luna's face. "I want you to stay away from Natsume."

The sound of hearing his name brought her back into a flashback of what had happened in the woods. Her face started to heat up as she blushed a thousand shades of red.

Although she knew what was going to happen if she didn't listen to her she still wanted to make sure of it. "…and if I don't listen to you?"

The smile on Luna's face widened, "Then I will reveal to the press that the famous Mikan Sakura would go as low as to disguise as a boy in a high school, and that wouldn't look good on your reputation."

Luna quickly took out her phone and took a snap shot of Mikan with her wig off.

"So, will you listen to my request?" she asked as she waved her petty little phone in front of her face.

Mikan stood there silent for a second until Luna lost all her patience. "Fine, I'll let you think about it, but I'll be taking your wig with me so make sure nobody finds you." she said with a smile as her body moved towards the door.

Our brunette snapped out of her frozen state and finally snapped back into reality.

"Shit!" Mikan cried aloud as she ran towards the door, but Luna was nowhere in sight.

"That cheap bitch!" Mikan thought in anger and frustration.

There was no way she could get out of the school without being seen, and there were no costumes and wigs nearby. Her phone was in her classroom so she couldn't call for Hotaru either.

She had to think quickly, very quickly, and just gave up on the thought. The only thing she could do was to run out of the school without being noticed, especially being noticed with a guy's uniform on.

Mikan quickly looked both ways of the hallway before dashing out, her head spinning like crazy. She ran through, hoping nobody would notice her… that was until she accidentally dashed through two students.

"Oh my gosh! Wasn't that Mikan Sakura?!" the two students yelled as they started to tell the classes nearby. Soon enough the rumors had spread throughout the whole school, and of course Natsume Hyuuga had heard of this.

At the classroom

"That baka… she better get out of this mess herself." Hotaru thought as she silently sat there in enjoyment.

Hotaru's eyes shifted to a certain raven haired boy who was frozen at his seat. Before she knew it she saw him dash out the door.

"This should be fun"

In the hallway

Mikan was now being chased by many students, students from different grades. She dashed from one corner to another until she couldn't run anymore. She found a space which had nobody there but she could hear them getting closer. There was no escape.

"What should I do, there isn't anywhere I could hide! That stupid bitch!" Mikan thought as sweat began to form on her forehead.

A hand suddenly grabbed her and took her into a room.

"Who is it?!" the brunette yelled out as she turned around to see a pair of crimson eyes looking right into her hazel eyes. Her eyes turned into shock… he was the last person she wanted to see.

"N-Natsume… What are you doing?" she asked as her eyes tried to avoid his face. The room turned silent as the running footsteps started to settle down from outside.

The kiss started to flash in Mikan's mind as her face turned red. The room was so silent that she could hear Natsume's breath.

Natsume's eyes looked straight at hers, showing a mix of concern, anger, and confusion. "What are you doing at this school? If I remember correctly I don't think you attend this school. Are you here for Imai?"

The tension slowly started to fade away. Her eyes looked back at him as she started to answer him. "I came here on my own, with personal business with Hotaru." she said, not hinting any lie in her words.

His eyes started to stare at her in suspicion. Mikan was pretty sure she hid the lie pretty well. Her muscles started to tense up.

Natsume stared at her outfit before continuing. "Why are you wearing the school's uniform, and more importantly a male one?"

Now she was in a stump, not knowing what to do. She had to act quickly.

"I... Narumi was a friend of my parents so I wanted to sneak into the school to surprise him but they only had the male uniforms!" she yelled out quickly, watching his eyes glare at her.

Natsume decided to let it slide for now; right now he was more concerned about the students finding her.

He let out a small sigh. "We should probably get you out of the school before others find you." he said as he took her hand.

She gave a small nod in reply before making her way out…but then she remembered how Luna had her wig.

She let go of his hand. "Sorry I actually have something I need to do before I leave" she said as she ran down the hall, leaving Natsume in confusion.

At the classroom

Mikan rushed into the classroom, luckily with nobody at her tail chasing her. The whole room stared at her in shock.

"Mikan Sakura!" the whole class screamed as she made her way to Luna who gave her an amusing smile.

"Oh, well if it isn't Mikan Sakura." Luna said in a sly tone.

"Koizumi, give back my wig, I need it for my next showing!" she yelled out as she tried to grab the wig out of her hand.

Luna dodged her attempt. "Oh, of course you'd need this for your "Next showing" but I'm sorry but I'll have to keep it for now." she said as she started to wave Mikan's wig in the air.

Mikan's face turned into a plead. "Please Luna…. Give my wig back…" she said as her eyes turned into puppy dog eyes.

The class started to look at her with sympathy. "Give her back her wig Koizumi!" they all screamed with anger and pity. A small smile formed on Mikan's face.

Luna started to glare at her and scoffed. "Fine, take your crummy wig, but remember Sakura, I still have that picture." she said in confidence before handing her the wig and walking out of the room.

"I won't let her get away with this secret of hers, especially after she killed my pride." Luna thought with a smirk.

Back at the classroom

Mikan felt a small tap on the shoulder and turned around to reveal a glaring Hotaru.

"Mikan… you better explain to me.. –she points at her head- why she had your wig!"

The brunette looked at her with a nervous expression, Hotaru was bound to kill her if she found out the actual situation, but never the less, Mikan could never hide anything from her best friend.

She grabbed her hand and dragged her out to the back of the school before explaining the situation. Mikan was in such a hurry that she did not notice Ruka in the hallway.

"Was that Mikan Sakura?" he said in a confused tone. Of course out of curiosity he follows the two.

At the back of the school

Hotaru quickly slapped Mikan's hand away, giving of a killing intent. "Who said you could grab me without permission?" she said in a demanding tone.

Mikan looked up at the sky before letting words come out of her mouth. She then explained the whole situation to Hotaru, who definitely didn't seem too happy.

The dark haired girl gave out a sigh as she sat down on the ground. "So, Koizumi knows?"

The small brunette gave a small nod, wanting to hide in a hole at the moment.

Hotaru thought for a second before continuing. "Then we'll have to get that picture back because it's the picture that shows of any proof of your secret."

Luna wouldn't just hand over the photo as if nothing ever happened. Mikan's past wasn't so great in terms with Luna.

"Hotaru… you know that my last meet up with her a while back caused a huge fuss…"

She gave a small nod, "I know, because of the misunderstanding it would probably make it harder for you to grab the picture back."

Here, let me explain. Luna and Mikan weren't enemies to begin with. They were actually just frienemies who would always fight for roles. Luna used to never get mad at Mikan when she got a lead role or go through lengths to get the role, that was until the misunderstanding happened.

Flashback

"Hey Mikan-san!" a guy yelled out as she turned around to reveal a small silver-haired boy. He was about 2 years younger than Mikan but acted mature from time to time.

A small smile appeared on her face. "Sup Yo-chan, what's up, are you looking for Koizumi?"

Youichi Hijiri was an actor who got the main male role in the next film that Mikan and Luna were going to audition for. He is also the guy who Luna had a crush on.

Youichi gave a slight look with confusion. "Why would I be looking for her?"

His response caught her off balance. "I told you before that Koizumi was looking for you, she needed to tell you something really important."

Today was the day that Luna was going to confess to him and had Mikan help her out with it.

He shriveled up his messy hair before walking closer to her. His hair just inches away from her face. He gave off an emotionless expression making it hard to reveal what he was thinking.

He placed his hand on her face and gave off a small smirk. "Mikan-chan, are you trying to set me up with Luna-chan?" he asked as his eyes got fixed onto hers.

She froze right in her spot, her hazel eyes looking away from the situation. He inched a bit closer, lessening the space between them.

"W-what are you talking ab-" and then got interrupted by a cup clashing to the floor.

Standing by the shattered cup was a heartbroken Luna. Her expression showed complete hurt and anger, directly towards Mikan.

"S-Sakura… How could you!" She yelled out, glaring daggers at her.

Mikan was in complete distraught. She didn't want to be seen as a cheater, and an enemy. "Koizumi it's not what you think!"

Mikan's voice wasn't able to reach her, she was stuck in a pit of rivalry.

"Don't even try to cover it up, I saw it with my own eyes!" she then pointed a demanding finger straight at her hazel eyes. "Mark my words Mikan Sakura, I will take away anything I can from you!" and then rushed out of the room.

Her bangs covered her face as she knelt down by the shattered cup.

"Coffee?" she thought in her mind.

Youichi looked down at the shattered cup. "Oh, that must be the cup of coffee I had asked her to get. The truth is she had already confessed her feelings to me." he said while he walked over to the knelt down Mikan before continuing.

"I didn't feel that way back to her and I had already told her I didn't, but she didn't accept the fact so I told her to get me a cup of coffee so I was able to flee." He paused for a second. "I didn't expect her to come in your room the moment I was about to confess to you.

Mikan's head jerked up at hearing "to confess to you" come from his mouth. But it didn't matter anymore, Luna already hated her guts.

Youichi placed his hand on her head and patted it. "Don't worry, I won't confess to you now because of what just happened, but when I return I will try to get you again Mikan-chan." he said with a smile before leaving the room. That was the last time she had seen him.

End of flashback

Suddenly Mikan's head started to hurt again, the same pain she had gotten before. She started to remember the little boy by the swings, her tears on the day her parents died, and the warmth he had given her.

"Mikan what's wrong!" Hotaru yelled out as she went over to her to try to swell down the pain.

"My memories, they are returning slowly again, slowly and painfully!" she yelled out as the pain started to get worse.

Then Ruka jumped out of the bushes to come help her. "Imai! Go get a teacher! I'll try to help her headache!" he yelled out in a command. Hotaru hated it when others commanded her to do something, but the situation was at stake so she obediently followed the orders.

Ruka looked down at the struggling brunette, showing eyes of concern.

Hotaru looked back to make sure Mikan was okay, and saw the look Ruka gave to Mikan. Her heart started to pound a bit.

"Why does it hurt me to see the two like that?" she thought with a disgusted look.

Once Hotaru came back Mikan's swelling had stopped and she was in a deep sleep.

"I think she should be fine for now Imai." Ruka told her as he placed his hand on her forehead to check for a fever.

Hotaru's face twitched a bit but she ignored it.

"Thank you Nogi, now let's get straight to the point." she said in a serious tone. "How long have you been behind those bushes?" she asked as she pointed to the direction of the bushes. Her eyes shot daggers at Ruka's face as his bunny started to struggle in fear.

He removed some of his blond hair from his eyes before answering. "Since the beginning."

"So you know of her secret?"

"…"

Hotaru was getting annoyed at his silence.

"I repeat, do you know of her secret?"

"…yes."

And so the tables have turned even more. Strike one, strike two, we aren't out yet.

Stay tuned for more! And Review! :D
