This is really surprising but Hana-Kimi is no longer my favorite manga. I never thought anything would beat it but Ouran High School Host Club did. Hunny is just too cute for words!

Disclaimer- Before writing fan fiction I didn't know how to spell disclaimer. And now I'm a pro because I type it so often. I don't own Hana- Kimi.

Mikey went straight back to his apartment. When he got back it felt weird. Sort of as if something was horribly wrong. He shrugged off the feeling. He kept on forgetting that Ann was at work because he hadn't seen here while leaving.

But it was all the better that he had not seen her. He knew that she would have taken it the wrong way I she had seen Mizuki and him leaving Mia's office in the same cloth as yesterday. She would assume the worst even though nothing had happened.

He slipped into the shower thinking over the newest information about his secret love. She was right. She had been hurt. He couldn't help but think about how the man from yesterday thought about seeing her after all this time.

For some reason he thought that running away ways a horrible thing to do but he could understand. The way that he had looked at Mizuki, he remembered from spying on the two with Mia, he had looked at her in a way he knew so well.

It was a look of pain and love. A deadly combination that is the source of most pain. Mikey had experienced the same feeling, he was sure everyone had at least once. He knew that Mizuki couldn't tell how the man in front of her was feeling. But she felt the same exact thing when he left in such a hurry. 'They both are in pain. Maybe he is who Mizuki had been asking for earlier. Maybe he is the one who she can share a love with that no one else has ever known. Like me and Ann.'

Mikey stepped out of the shower with his towel wrapped around his waist. He walked into the room he and Ann shared and started to get dressed. He noticed that some of her drawers had been disturbed. 'She always puts her stuff away.'

He was curious and looked into the drawer. There was a bunch of her cloth moved out of one area, as if she had gotten a hidden object. (Oh ho ho!) He looked around the room when he saw it.

A letter sitting so innocently on top of the covers of his bed. He sat down and opened the letter. He was sitting there only in his boxers reading the letter. At first he thought that it would be on of those romantic things he used to send her but he was wrong.

Horror showed on his face as he read. There were tear stains on the paper. He wanted this to be some kind of joke. 'Ann must have seen us while we were still asleep. Dammit! I knew that I had seen someone leaving when I woke up.' He thought feeling sick.

Mikey grabbed his stomach. Her word hurt like daggers to his heart. The fact that she was feeling such pan because of him brought tears to his eyes. 'The song… And now I hold this knife to my throat, turns out that it was me all along. I hurt her. It was me.'

He quickly got dressed. He thought that maybe she would be somewhere waiting for him. Waiting to see if he really loved her or not. He had no clue to where she might be but knew that he had to find her. He was nothing without her. There was no Mikey without Ann.

Before he left he took the letter and wanted to throw it away. But when he looked into the trash can he found his old love notes. All had been frantically torn apart. He kept the letter with him in his pocket. This was too much.

He made his way to the bar at record speed. He needed for her to be there. He needed to see that she wasn't truly gone. He found only Cho. The comedian looked at him as if h looked like hell. The truth is that he probably did. His face was never any good at hiding any signs of distress.

"Ann?" he asked frantically to his fellow bartender. Cho shook his head. "She left before you and Mizuki. Is something wrong?" Mikey was pacing. He wanted to cry. He wanted to cry so badly but didn't.

"Mikey? Mikey! What's wrong?" Hid friend asked with deep concern stepping out from behind the counter. "She's gone Cho. She's gone." The other man didn't understand. "Are you talking about Ann?"

Mikey nodded his head frantically. His hair didn't move it was still wet from his shower. "I don't know where she is. I hurt her real bad Cho, real bad." his friend held a solemn expression on his face.

"What happened?" is all he asked. His hand automatically went to his pocket to show him the letter but then stopped. 'I can't show him this. This is Ann's pain. I can't show anyone this.' "Me and Mizuki fell asleep on Mia's couch. I think she walked in on us sleeping today and left."

He knew what Cho was thinking. "Nothing happened between us last night. Ann, I need Ann." He was sitting on the floor now leaning back against the bar. He couldn't help it, he cried.

'Be a man! Stop crying and go look for her you pathetic excuse for a man!' he kept on yelling at himself. 'But it hurts so much. Her pain is my pain. It always has been and always will be. I can't stand to loose her.' 'Then get off your ass and go get her.'

He nodded to himself and dried his tears before Cho could even think of something comforting to say. He ran right out of the bar. There was no time to waist. Ann had about half an hour to get anywhere. He had to be fast if he ever hopped of finding her.

He checked all of the bus stations and subways first. Then he tried the trains and airports. There was not trace of her anywhere. He looked in all of her favorite places but no one had seen her. It was as if she had just not only tried to leave his life but also the world as well.

He spent hours of non stop searching without even a hint of where she could be. It had started to rain but even then his efforts did not cease. If anything he was trying harder to find her the more time passed.

He sat down on a bench to think of where she could be. 'I've looked everywhere. When she doesn't want to be found she isn't found. She's proved that saying right to so many people but I've always been able to get to her no matter what. Why can't I get to her now? When it matters most?'

He thought about all those times when he would find her hiding in the secret space in her closet of her old house. Then it hit him. She was there. She had to be. That was the only place where she ever felt like nothing could reach her.

As he ran off to her old abandoned home he was picturing her the first time they ever saw each other out of school. They had been young then. Probably 11 or 12 years.

Her mother wanted Ann to make more friends so she held a part for her daughter without even asking who to invite. Her mother only invited the kids of which had parents she found acceptable.

He had only been invited because none of the kids wanted to go and someone gave him there invitation saying that he would fit right I with Ann. When he got to her home her mother wasn't exactly friendly with him.

FLASHBACK

The door opened slowly and he saw a beautiful woman in her early 30's open the door. "H-Hello." He managed to say smiling. When she didn't smile back or open the door anymore he cursed himself. 'It's the stutter. She thinks I'm a freak like the rest of them! I hate myself!' he thought bitterly.

"What do you want?" the woman asked rudely. "I-I-I-I'm h-here for the p-party." He didn't want to say more. 'Please don't make me say more!' she looked at him and laughed. "You? My little Ann doesn't associate with low life like you. How did you get invited?"

He felt hurt but still showed her the invitation from his pocket. "Whatever. Don't touch any of my stuff and don't bug the other guests." She ordered as she let him in her home. They had a huge house. It was all decorated or a party.

He walked into a room where everyone else was. There was food, music, and kids talking amongst themselves. He tried o do as he had been told. He didn't touch anything, not even the food and didn't talk to the other guests at first.

He noticed Ann wasn't there. This was her party wasn't it? Where was she? He walked up to one of the popular boys who lived next door and had been forced to come. "W-Where's Ann?" he asked. Please review!

The other boy laughed. "Ann? Why is she your girlfriend or something?" Mikey shook his head. He thought Ann was really pretty and misunderstood but she never talked to him. She never talked to anyone.

"She's missing. When Ann disappears no one can find her. But knock your self out." Mikey nodded. "I w-w-will thank you." He went off and started to search for the hostess. She wasn't on the part floor where everyone else was.

He climbed up the large stairs and decided she would be up there. He didn't call her name in fear that her mean mother would be up there and find him in a part of her home he shouldn't be in.

He walked right into a large room that was painted a soft yellow. It looked o belong to a child and as far as he knew Ann was an only child. He looked around the room and saw no one.

But he new that she was in there. He turned to the closet that was closed all of the way. He opened it a little only to see that it was practically empty. He stepped right in. he took a few steps to his right and saw something that wasn't right. There was a missing part in the wall.

He put his fingers in the space between the two walls. He could have sworn that he had heard a slight gasp. He pushed against the wall and to his surprise it moved with ease. And there she was.

Ann was sitting on the floor in the secret room in her closet crying. She starred up at him in amazement. "What are you doing here?" she asked with disbelief that anyone had found her. No one had ever found her before.

"H-H-H-Hello Ann. I-I was just wondering w-why you w-weren't at your p-party." She shook her head angrily. Her brown hair flew all over the place. She was wearing a cute little dress that he could tell her mother made her wear.

"It's not my party. Why would I want those jerks at my house? They hate me." Mikey sat down across from her. Halfway in the closet, halfway in the secret room. "T-That's not t-true!" she gave him an evil glare.

"Yes it is. Just because my dad left when I was little they don't like me." The two children sat there in silence for a moment. "I-I like you."

END FLASHABCK

They never talked about her secret place after that. But that's when Ann started to stick up for him when the other kids teased him for his stutter. Her mother had never approved of there friendship and then later dating. But that's why Ann moved out of her home and with him in high school.

He reached her old house. It still looked the same way it had when he first entered it all those years ago, intimidating. The door was already partly opened. Even though he knew her mother had moved out long ago he was still expecting her to be there when he entered. But instead he got this strange feeling. He rushed up to her. He knew that Ann was here.

Sorry there really wasn't any Mizuki or other character from Hana-Kimi in this chapter. I promise that the will be in the next chapter.
