Chapter 10:
Flashback and Misunderstanding
The afternoon was good for Youichi's new parents but for his old parents, it was a bleak, they didn't even talk with each other. Mikan was feeling a little guilty because of what she did earlier to Natsume. Natsume was feeling weak because of what happened between him and his ex-girlfriend.
Both feels like they have to apologize but both also feels that they were too shy. But then, something popped in Mikan's mind, a dead body of… Sumire.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Mikan started shaking her head to take the picture away but she couldn't, What is this? Why is she dead and bleeding… that knife, why is it struck on her tummy? What's this! There's only one way to forget about this… to prove to myself that Sumire isn't… dead!
She started running to the academy, her head looking down, not minding everyone she bumped into until… "Sakura?"
Mikan rubbed her eyes to brush away her tears, she looked up and was surprised to see Narumi, "Na… rumi-sensei!"
Narumi bent down so his head was now level to hers, "Why are you crying Mikan?" He used his fingers to wipe her other tears away.
For the past 10 seconds, she totally forgot about her question but it popped in her mind again, "Narumi-sensei! Where is Sumire? Tell me please!"
Narumi's eyes shot wide in hearing Mikan's question, Why'd she ask? Doesn't she remember? Baka! Of course she doesn't! She forgot everything that happened when she had amnesia!"
"Uhmm Mikan…"
Mikan's eyes were getting wetter and wetter every second, Narumi couldn't help it, he couldn't hide it from her forever, he must tell her now, "Mikan…"
Mikan was now trembling in fear, "Tell me… onegai sensei! Tell me!" She was already clutching his shirt.
Narumi held Mikan's shoulders, Oh my … what should I say! "Mikan, she's… dead."
Mikan's mouth opened widely, her eyes too and before she knew it, she fainted.
She opened her eyes slowly, she looked around, she knew where she was even when her sight was still blurry. But then, as soon as her vision started to clear up, what caught her attention was Natsume and Narumi seating at the same couch.
Natsume stood up and left the room, knowing that he will just get insults from her. Even though its hard for him to leave her there, he must or he might hurt her.
Narumi stretched out his hand to Mikan so she could use it as a guide as she rose up from her bed, "I have a terrible dream.. you said that- oh no.. please tell me its just a dream!" She started to cry again.
Narumi's head didn't move an inch, he was still looking down, "Mikan…. Sorry to say that….."
Mikan hugged him tight, "Narumi-sensei.. was I the one who killed her? Was I !"
Narumi took Mikan's arms off his body, "Mikan… you didn't kill her.. but she's already dead…. A knife killed her by accident…"
Mikan froze, she remember what popped In her mind a while ago, the picture, the knife struck on Sumire's tummy. But that wasn't the only reason why she froze, a memory came back, it was the memory of what happened.
Flashback
"Shut the hell up Mikan, ya know what, I'm jealous.. well.. maybe more than jealous about you and Natsume… I hate you… you know what, I can kill a person when I'm jealous!"
Mikan gulped, "Sumire…" IS
SHE THAT CRAZY?
Sumire slapped Mikan's right cheek, "So don't you dare tell Natsume how you feel or else!"
Mikan gathered all her courage, "Or else?"
Sumire now slapped Mikan's left cheek, "Or else I'll find a way to kill you..or your best friend… or.. Youichi!"
Mikan froze as she heard Sumire say those words, her heart was aching in fear, her heart ached more when she heard the word "kill'.
Sumire glared at her, "So what? You'll still continue your plan to tell Natsume about your feelings?"
Mikan gulped, I don't know.. I want to tell him.. but… how about Hotaru and Youichi? This can't happen, this must be a dream, this has to be a dream! This –
Another slap came from Sumire.
Okay… this isn't a dream!
"Tsk tsk tsk… Mikan, what now?"
Mikan closed her eyes tightly, No Mikan.. don't let her scare you… don't let her … please … stop being soft, be selfish for once… she can't kill Youichi or Hotaru.. that's crazy… SNAP OUT OF IT MIKAN! She IS crazy!
Sumire shook Mikan, "Hey idiot, what's your answer?"
Mikan opened her eyes, tears started streaming down, she gathered all her strength, she pushed Sumire. Sumire fell to the ground, "OUCH!"
Mikan stood bravely, "You bitch! You ruin people's – ARGH! Memories…."
Memories started coming again, her head was in pure pain, those memories were those times that Sumire called her names.
Sumire managed to stand, she was breathing hard, she took out her knife from her pocket and was about to stab Mikan with it when somebody pushed her from behind.
Mikan stare at the falling Sumire, her eyes as wide as ever, "Sumire!"
Youichi who pushed Sumire ran to his 'mommy' "Are you alright?"
Mikan turned and looked at Youichi, "Youichi!"
Youichi hugged his mommy, "No one can kill you…"
Mikan's head wasn't in pain now, she hugged Youichi back. But then, they saw blood all over the floor, it came from..
"SUMIRE!" Shouted Mikan. She put Youichi down and approached the bleeding Sumire.
When Youichi pushed the-about-to-kill-Mikan Sumire, the knife flew out of her hands and as she landed on the floor, the knife landed on her tummy, it struck her deeply and that made her tummy bleed.
Mikan hugged Sumire, "Sumire… why?"
But when Mikan tried to listen to Sumire's heartbeat, she couldn't hear any, her heart started to beat, it wasn't because of love but because of fright. Could she be…. Could she be- dead?
Mikan looked around, Youichi wasn't there anymore, Mikan bit her lower lip, Where is he? I must find- No! I cannot go and find him .. I can't leave Sumire here alone….
End of Flashback
Mikan started to pull her hair, her heart was torn into pieces, she can't believe she killed Sumire. Well.. she really didn't but.. she thought she killed her, ya know, being the dense Mikan?
"NONONO! WHY DID I KILL HER! WHY NARUMI-SENSEI? DIDN'T ANYONE STOP ME FROM DOI-"
"QUIET SAKURA! ITS NOT YOUR FAULT!"
Mikan fell on her knees, "No… this can't happen… why is she dead..? no…"
Narumi kneeled down, "She was threatening to kill 3 people!"
"Demo…"
Narumi held Mikan's chin up, "She deserves it Mikan… she deserves it so calm down!"
