Chapter 21: Reconciling and Parties Part 1
It has been around a month since the personality switch incident, things had relatively calmed down. Riri was still teaching lessons, Lala had gone back to normal, and things were good. Though Rito knew what was to come, the Tenjouin Christmas party was going to happen soon, and Rito was worried. In the old timeline, Saki kept her distance and kept her cool, but now, she seemed to twitch and keep tabs on both himself and Lala. In the old timeline, Saki and her two lieutenants had fake guns loaded with volcanic spicy mustard bullets, now, he wasn't sure what the hell Saki was gonna pull.
Though, this story starts a few days before the party.
Monday, December 21st
Rito slowly got up and stretched, bones popping with every twists. He turned and saw Lala sleeping at his side. He heard another female's breath and turned to see Haruna sleeping beside him. "Well, not what I expected for a wakeup call." Rito thought to himself, then remembered that Haruna would now be living with them.
Rito got up off the bed and pulled out his uniform, pulling it on. "So we've got me, Mikan, Lala, Momo, Nana, Yami, Midnight, and now Haruna housing with us. As if I needed more to worry about." Rito said.
"Come on Rito," Mikan said from the kitchen, "You don't need to worry about it, I can cook well enough."
Rito shook his head and remembered how much of a pride his sister had, and how little she let anyone else do the jobs she did, due to the fact that they all couldn't hold up to Mikan's 'Skills' in the last timeline.
Rito went into the kitchen and rolled up his sleeves, then said, "Mikan, let me help you."
Mikan turned to him and said, "No offence Rito, but you'll just end up breaking something."
Rito growled and said, "Mikan, let me have a chance. You always cook for us, let me help!"
Mikan looked impassive and said "Fine, just follow my directions."
The two of them began to make breakfast and everyone else came into the dining room and sat at their seats. Everyone was surprised when they saw Rito in the kitchen with Mikan instead of Midnight. Rito then said that he had to promise to do what she said, so that she'd give him a chance to prove himself.
SEINAN HIGH, HALF AN HOUR LATER
Things were peaceful in their classroom since Rin and Aya had yet to send the letters to everyone for the Tenjouin Christmas party. The doors opened and Saki's two helpers came into the classroom and Rin said, "Lady Saki has invitations for you all to come to her Christmas party. The dress code is formal, so all males will need suits, and all females will need dresses."
Aya then handed out the invites and bowed to the class. Aya and Rin then left the classroom, leaving the students to talk amongst themselves. Rito, Lala, Haruna, Risa, and Mio chatted on why the hell she was planning, on allowing them to come to her private mansion, since she had grown more and more paranoid about the students. The paranoia wasn't out of character, but the invites to a fancy party was very out of character for her.
The doors opened again and Riri came in saying, "Alright class, sit in your seats. Class is starting!"
Everyone sat in their seats and took out their notebooks, though Riri held up her hands and said, "No need for notebooks today, were doing a practical lesson today!"
Everyone paled as they remembered the last practical lesson, "Don't worry," she said, "I've learned my lesson from last time. The damages came out of my paycheck."
Everyone slowly prepared themselves for whatever the hell she would pull, and pull something she did.
LUNCH PERIOD
"Well class, hopefully you all learned something today." Riri said and packed up her bags. The class looked at her as if she was insane. They learned what not to do to piss her off, which was a lot of things. Riri left the room and the students did the same.
Rito, Lala, Haruna, Risa and Mio went to the roof and began to question Riri's sanity.
"What the hell is that woman thinking teaching that?!" Rito growled.
"It was… interesting." Haruna said.
"Well, at least she didn't injure anyone this time." Lala said.
Risa proceeded to grope Lala and Haruna as she said, "At least she doesn't mind my groping."
"Which is a bit odd." All except Risa and Mio thought.
Rito then asked, "Anyone got any ideas for Christmas gifts for one another?"
The girls were left to think up gifts for the rest of the lunch period, what to get for their families, and their friends.
LATER IN THE DAY
Rito slowly made his way to the SSS room when he was attacked by masked males from all sides. Thankfully he managed to take them all down, when he unmasked the leader, he saw that it was Motemitsu. Rito held one eye open and he saw that the pupil was dilated. All of them had been controlled, yet the only symptom they had was the eyes being dilated, which was odd in Rito's book.
He then heard laughing, though it was distorted and he looked to where it was coming from. The laughter was coming from Saki, though she looked paler then he last saw her. "Good afternoon, Yuuki Rito." She said, in a bit of a deeper voice than usual.
"Saki? The hell is going on?" Rito asked.
Saki then giggled and said, "Saki isn't here right now, only her insecurities are here. We are, Saiko!"
Rito couldn't help but give off a sweat drop and asked, "Saiko? Really? Saiko was your choice? You do realize that your name sounds like psycho, correct?"
Saki stomped her foot and yelled, "Shut the hell up! It is a damn good name!"
Rito shook his head and asked, "The hell do you want?"
"Oh you know, a little bit of chaos, a little bit of destruction, and a pinch of anarchy!" Saki said, gaining a weird smile.
"Are you trying to look intimidating? Because you are failing horribly at it." Rito said.
Saki roared in anger, shaking the windows and rushed Rito. Rito dodged out of the way and he heard Rin yell, "SAKI-SAMA!"
Rito got the strange feeling that pain would be served to him on a platter in the form of one of Saki's bodyguards, Rin Kujou.
He dodged out of the way of a bokken sword and looked to Rin, she was pissed. "Why did you attack Saki-sama fiend?!" Rin yelled.
Rito looked at her as if she grew four heads and yelled "Your master attacked me! I did nothing to injure her!"
Saki then sniffled and said, "He broke my heart when I confessed to him. He ripped the letter I gave him into pieces!"
Rito looked at Saki in disbelief and Rin readied her sword again, with the intent to kill. Rito knew that Rin only listened to Saki, for better or for worse, and would try to defend and avenge her or her honor if need be.
Rito bolted down the hallway and Rin followed after him, swinging her sword around like a maniac.
Rito didn't have a moment's notice until he hid himself inside a locker, and Rin passed the locker he was hiding in.
She lost him and he came out of the locker, "Too damn close for comfort!" Rito said and dusted himself off.
"Rito-kun?" He heard Haruna ask. He turned to her and she asked, "What were you doing in the locker?"
Rito shook his head and said, "Hiding from trouble."
"Trouble? What trouble?" Haruna asked.
Rito shook his head and said, "I'll tell you at home."
YUUKI HOUSEHOLD
Mikan was going through their in the attic and was cleaning up at the same time. She then found an old box with duct tape keeping it closed. She took it downstairs and placed it on the kitchen counter. She pulled out a box cutter and cut open the box. She found a letter inside the box and opened it up. There was a note in the letter, she read the letter and it said,
"Our dearest daughter, we wanted to give you this box when you were old enough, but if you are reading this, you found it on your own. If neither of us are around when you found it, it is yours to keep. Inside the box is memories of you, and the truth. Please don't hate us for keeping this from you, we love you to the bottom of our hearts and hope you can forgive us, Love Saibai and Ringo Yuuki."
She searched around in the box and found old toys, photo albums and something else. Something business related, about herself.
She opened it up and began to read. After a few minutes, she dropped it and hugged herself. "No way. This can't be!" Mikan thought, "I can't be adopted!"
She looked to the photo albums and saw photos of herself and Rito when they were younger, he looked a lot more scrawny and tiny then he did now. It sent her into tears and she cried while looking at the photos.
The doors opened and she wiped her tears saying, "Welcome home!"
"Tadaima!" She heard Rito call out.
Mikan quickly hid the box and composed herself. She came to the front of the house and saw Lala, Haruna and Rito come in. "Hey Mikan," Lala said, "How are you?"
Mikan smiled and said, "I'm alright Lala-san. I'll make you all snacks for the time being."
Lala squealed and Rito said, "Are you alright Mikan? Your eyes look a little puffy."
Mikan smiled and said, "Yeah Rito, never better." She then proceeded to make the snacks.
Rito knew that something was bothering Mikan and looked into the kitchen and saw the box, so she knew now.
Rito went into the living room and turned on the TV, which had the Magical Girl Kyoko show on it, Lala was glued to the TV and Rito saw Mikan come in with the snacks. She placed them on the table and said, "I'm going to my room, I'll make dinner later."
She then left the living room, a few seconds later he heard her door open, and slam closed. He went to her room and knocked on the door, "Mikan? Are you alright?"
"Rito?" He heard Mikan ask, "What's wrong? Are the snacks not to your liking?"
"Not that," Rito said, "If you don't mind, I'm coming in!" He then slowly opened the door and came into her room.
He saw her crying into a pillow and asked, "Are you alright Mikan? You seem… out of your usual self."
She looked at him and he saw that she had been crying, "Rito," Mikan said and hugged the pillow closer to her.
Rito closed and locked the door, then said, "Please Mikan, if there is something wrong you can tell me."
Mikan then threw the pillow to the side and tackled him in a hug, though she started to sob into his chest. Rito hugged Mikan and asked, "What's wrong Mikan? You can tell me anything."
"W-w-well," Mikan said, "What if I told you that I wasn't your sister?" she then proceeded to continue to sob into his chest.
Rito smiled and said, "So? You are still a precious member of the family none the less."
Mikan looked up to him with watery eyes and said, "No, no, no! You can't say that! I'm not blood related to you!"
Rito placed his forehead onto her own and she proceeded to blush up a storm, Rito then said, "Mikan, even if you aren't blood related, we still have memories that will last for a long time."
Mikan just held on to Rito and he continued to comfort her. She then said, "Why are you still accepting me as one of the family? I'm not related to you."
Rito then made Mikan face him, eye to eye and said, "Family isn't just being related by blood, it is the people you grow up with that is your family. You don't have to act like a stranger if you don't want to."
Mikan slowly stopped sobbing and said, "Rito, thank you."
Rito lightly kissed her on the head and said, "Not a problem Mikan, you are family after all."
Mikan let out a cute little pout and Rito said "However, that does not mean I will be able to keep this quiet for long. Everyone else will find out eventually."
Mikan then pulled out a move Rito didn't even see coming, she said, "Then I'll tell them myself."
This surprised Rito and he asked "You sure about that?"
Mikan nodded and said, "Definitely sure."
Rito nodded and said, "Okay, if that is what you want, I ain't gonna stop you." He then went for the door and unlocked it, but said before leaving, "If you want to go out with me Mikan, just say, I'll only go on your word."
He slipped out of the room and closed the door, just as a pillow slammed against the door.
Rito slowly went back down to the living room and saw everyone doing their own thing, Lala was watching Magical Girl Kyoko, Nana was playing with the Vulpimancer pup, Momo was outside watering the plants, Haruna was doing the work their teacher assigned them, and Midnight and Yami seemed to be out of the house at the moment.
Rito then smiled, it was weird being back in his younger body, but a least it beat being dead.
