Early up date. I know. It's awesome that I have free time. Actually I am on spring break for a little less than one more week. Few have noticed that the last chapter was a little longer. I plan on making each chapter longer than the next now. I hope this will please everyone out there reading this story. This chapter is dedicated to Crimson-Midnight-Moon for reviewing and being very honest to me each chapter and natsumelover. Please enjoy.

Myself Again: chapter 14

Mikan's point of view

I giggled, "Aw, I love you guys!"

"Who wouldn't?" Misaki boasted. "We are the number one gang in all of Japan and not to mention we are smoking hot!" Hotaru hit Misaki in the back of her head with a curled up newspaper. "Ouch! Hotaru! What was that for?"

"For forgetting something," Hotaru answered back coldly.

"What did I forget?"

"You forgot that we are all intelligent young ladies. In my view, I would say that they would be retarded and mentally insane because they have horrible tastes by not falling for intelligent, young, tough, strong, deadly, beautiful..."

"Okay we get it Hotaru!" Anna yelled.

Hotaru glared at Anna for interrupting her. I laughed nervously and spoke, " Uh, thank you Hotaru! You complimented us! That is so rare to hear from you."

"Oh, you thought I was talking about you guys? I was just describing me." we all sweat dropped. "You guys are weird, clumsy, moronic..."

"Whaaa! You are so mean Hotaru!"

"but beautiful, strong, and talented girls," she continued ignoring my comment. We all stared at her in gratitude. Tears have formed in all of our eyes and we hugged Hotaru suffocating her from lack of personal space. "Get off of me before I kill you all slowly and painfully." We back away from her quickly.

"S-sorry Hota-chan. We kinda got carried away with our happiness," I apologized for the group.

"Just don't do that ever again. Am I understood."

"Yes Ma'am!"

"Hey Mikan! He's waking up!" Ryouta shouted across the room. Everyone was silenced when he sat up.

"Huh? Where am I?" Araki asked wearily still drowsy from his nap. I smirked and stepped in front of him. This is going to be fun.

"Why in heaven, of course!" I told him happily. Everyone was staring at me in confusion again. I gave them a "just-go-with-it" look. They all nodded excitedly.

"I died!"

"Unfortunately, yes." Anna said feigning sadness.

"B-but this doesn't look like heaven."

"Huh? Oh! This is where we will all stay until we graduate high school. We still have to work here to live a spiritual life or else we will reincarnate into an animal or thing of kami-sama's choice. And we can't get a job being stupid right?"

"Wow, really? I never knew God would have the same rules as us on earth."

"Yeah, it surprised us as much as it did to you when we first learned the rules up here, too."

Araki squinted his eyes at me. His jaw fell to the floor. "M-mikan!"

"Hm?"

"You died too?"

"We all did. You didn't know! You passed out and then after you did that the apocalypse started. We survived for a year, but then starved to death. You were in a coma the entire time up until now."

"Who took care of me?"

"Why I did, Silly!"

"You did!"

"Is it so bad for me to be nice for once?" fake tears were streaming out of my eyes.

"N-no! Of course not! It is wonderful!" he comforted me.

"R-really?"

"Yes my dear." he smiled at me lovingly. Ew. I am never going to do this type of prank ever again.

"Thank you!" I smiled.

No one could hold their laughter in anymore. Everyone was laughing and rolling on the floor literally. Araki stared at everyone like we were all crazy people, which is probably true. Nobody could speak so Hotaru wrote on a piece of paper to tell him the truth:

Sato, we aren't dead.

"What do you mean we aren't dead?"

The apocalypse won't happen till 2012. It's only 2010.

"How would you know! You're not a scientist!"

I would be lying if I told you I wasn't.

"..."

Hotaru smirked in victory.

"You're right. But where are we then?"

On Earth, obviously.

"Where on Earth?"

The classroom, moron.

"what really happened to me?"

You fainted because of using too much energy. Right now it is third period.

"How come no one is listening and where is the teacher?"

We are in an academy for teenagers and little kids that have caused too much havoc for teachers and people outside of the school. Meaning no teacher would want to come and tame us, the teenagers. Only a few teachers have come here with a death wish to teach us and die early. The only teachers for us here are Narumi,our home economics, English and homeroom teacher; Jinno,our math and science teacher; and Misaki, our physical education and free period teacher.

Our classes are ordered from Narumi's classes, then Misaki's classes, and finally Jinno's classes. You may fool around, talk, or what ever you want to do during Misaki and Jinno's classes. Just not Narumi's. Understand.

"Why should I listen to the most childish and gay teacher on campus?"

"What did you call Narumi- sensei!" I commanded.

"Childish and gay." I glared at Araki with an evil glint in her eyes. Then started making her way towards him. Her head was faced downward making her bangs cover her brown eyes. A deadly aura surrounded her and everyone made a path for her to get to the front easily.

"Uhm, Sato- san, we listen to Narumi because Mikan told us to because she respects and looks up to because he taught her all the martial arts and he is Mikan's dad so she loves him, and since he cries and gets hurt easily now Mikan will kill who ever did harm or insults him. And since we all look up to and love her we listen to her." Nonoko warned and explained to Araki knowing that he will loose his head.

I was already in front of Araki and looked at him straight in the eye with her head tilted to the right side. " I am sorry. I couldn't hear you from the back of the room. Could you repeat what you said about Otou- san?"

Araki was shaking in fear under her deadly look. "i, uh. I-i c-called h-him s-smart and h-handsome looking man?" he covered himself up with compliments to Narumi.

"Are you sure, Araki- kun?" I asked in a sweet threatening voice.

"Y-yes, Mikan-sama," he whispered.

"Hm? I cannot hear you. Could you speak up?"

"Yes Ma'am. I am sure," he said with more confidence.

"Good. Because if you said something rude and despicable about my wonderful father, I would have to literally kill you. Painfully and slowly or I will be nice and just chop your head off so you will not have to suffer," I said then cracked my knuckles. "But since you said such nice things about Daddy to cover up your mistake and lied to me, I won't kill you today." I chambered punched Araki softly in his gut so he wouldn't have to be brought to the hospital.(A/N a chambered punch is a strike commonly performed in karate, kung fu, and tae kwon do, originating from a "chambered" position.)

Hey, I may hate his guts for stalking me, but he is one of the guys who have actually paid attention to me and hasn't given up yet, so I care about his safety a little bit, but not so much that I wouldn't hurt him physically a bit.

He fell to the floor. No one dared to help him because I beat them to it. I surprised everyone by helping him up, but like I said I care about him a little bit. I reached my hand out to him and pulled him up to his feet.

"I am sorry, Araki, but no one and I mean no one insults my dad and then lies to me about it. It really hurts me if they think that I will take pity on them and not do anything for revenge against them, you know."

" I-i'm sorry Mikan. I won't do it again. I just didn't know."

" I would think you would because you are always stalking me," I teased him lightening the mood in between us, which surprised everyone even more to see me trying to make my stalker happy after I punched him. I would usually just walk away from him/her. "What? I may hate his guts for always stalking me, but then again he is one of the boys in my life that isn't so scared of me and saw past what I do to others and my cold actions towards them, so he is kinda amazing for standing up and caring for me."

"Then you are just a big mush ball that has a hard facade mask to break and who are the boys who did the same as Araki?" Tsubasa asked.

"N-no I am not a mush ball!" I am dieing of embarrassment!

"Yeah you are Mikan." Hotaru butted in.

" You're not helping!"

"I never intended to help you."

"You still haven't answered my second question yet," Tsubasa reminded me.

"Well there is Araki and Rain. The others are in side of my family."

"What is Rain's last name?" Natsume asked curiously.

Koko and my eyes sadden after he said that. Tears were threatening to fall from both of our eyes. I glanced at Koko desperately asking for his permission to talk about his older brother. My group noticed our pained expression.

"You don't have to tell them you know Mi-chan," Anna acknowledged the other option to her and Koko knowing that they are in pain.

"Are you alright, Koko?" Submire asked her boyfriend.

"It's alright Mikan. You can tell them," he smiled sadly at her.

Mikan smiled back and nodded. "His full name was Rain Yome. He was Koko's older brother. As you know, Koko's brother pasted away. Another person got into the accident with him. His girlfriend actually. Earlier that day he proposed to her making them the happiest people alive knowing that they will get married. They went off to celebrate at Asakusa Hanayashiki, his girlfriend's favorite place in the world. They were walking home from their date when it happened. They were crossing the street when it was safe to go, but a drunken man came speeding down the road towards the happy couple. They both got hit, but Rain was first to get hit so he got the most injured, taking his life." tears were now rolling down my cheeks quickly. I wiped them away and continued, " If you have noticed, Koko has been calling me his sister, but we are not related to each other at all." I stared at the class waiting for them to piece the information together.

Once they finally got the conclusion they gasped and stared at me yet again and I proceeded the rest of the story. "By know you have all figured out that I was his soon-to-be wife and girlfriend and the rest was history."

"T-that can't be true! His girlfriend was the happy-go-lucky type and clumsy!"Kitsu disagreed.

"Yeah. I used to be the happy-go-lucky type, believe it or not, and clumsy, right Koko, Anna, Nonoko, Hotaru, Submire, and Misaki?" yeses escaped their mouths at the same time.

"I know this is a huge shock to everyone here. You are probably wondering how I changed. Well, I took Narumi's classes and started to keep a straight face 24/7 and soon enough it became a habit and I couldn't stop." Koko was already crying his eyes out and ran up to me for comfort. He seemed like a six year old that just scrapped his knee, but his heart was the one that was hurt instead of his knee. He was emotionally harmed by his brother's death. "It's alright,Koko. Sister is here," I cooed and hugged him tightly. Soon enough the whole class ,even Hotaru and Natsume, was comforting the both of us and sobbing along because they all loved Rain like a brother, too.
