Chapter VI- Day 2: Cleaning, Shopping and Jealousy

The next morning everyone woke up early because they got used to it. Mikan, Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko fixed the breakfast, for this morning it's pancakes. Yuu decided to have an exercise so the rest of the boys joined him. Sumire and the other girls decided to take a shower (not at the same time. The house has 1 bathroom so Sumire went first then the others.) While Grandpa is gone cleaning the yard. After a few minutes the breakfast is ready. They all ate their breakfast.

"I'll be leaving you for some hour is that alright?" said Grandpa to the ones in his front still eating.

"Why? Where are you going?" asked Mikan looking at him.

"I have to go to the grocery. We're running low in our supplies now." he said.

"Ow then well go with you so we can help." said Sumire.

"But if we all go it will be too many." he said.

"Not all of us will go. We have some things to do for our stay here." said Hotaru as she finished her last pancake.

"Oh that's right we haven't put any device. Lucky for us none attacked us. Then I'll help." said Ruka volunteering and reminding the others.

"Then we'll stay as well." said Natsume as he looked at Mikan meaning she too will stay and help.

"Then I'll stay too I don't know anything about shopping anyway." said Yuu laughing.

"Then I'll help here as well..." said Kokoroyomi.

"Oh no you don't if you stay then who'll help us with the grocery. You're coming with us." said Sumire grabbing his shirt.

"Then that's settled we'll get ready now." said Anna. Then she and Nonoko went to their room to get dress.

After sometime their ready and they went to the market. While the ones left didn't start their work yet they still have to wash the dishes.

"Why do I have to clean the dishes?" asked Natsume annoyingly as he scrub the plate.

"Because you said that we'll stay and help." said Mikan while she wipe the clean plates with a cloth.

"But I didn't say that I'll clean the dishes. I should've gone with them." said Natsume.

"Then you rather go with Sumire than stay here with Me." she said angrily.

"I was just kidding… You're so gullible you know..." he said smiling at her.

"That wasn't a good joke you know." she said with her smile meaning she forgive him.

"Look at those two they're quarreling like a married couple." said Hotaru to Ruka smiling. They were at the door standing.

"You should take a picture of them like that. Then show it in the academy." he said smiling at her.

"Did what you said last night just happened?" Mikan said remembering what Natsume said last night outside the living room.

"Maybe look at them they don't look so shy and they're even smiling. But you know it's weird to see Hotaru smiling like that and to think she's smiling to Ruka." exclaimed Natsume still looking at the two.

The two heard this and they blush so…

"Hey you two are you finish cleaning we should start now." said Ruka still blushing.

"We're almost done. Just a few left." said Mikan returning to her work.

Then when they finished they started to put some devices that Hotaru invented. The device looks like a round sticker (in fact it is.) which they stuck to the windows it is controlled by a remote control which they put in each room (it looks like a sticker too it just camouflage where it was put. So they have to remember where they put it.) This device will electrocute anyone that touches the window sill and at the same time wail like a police car. For the door they put a flower vase in a table near it. It's not a real flower it's in fact a camera. It scans everyone that enters the house when it sees a dangerous weapon like gun on someone it will shut every entrance and exit. And for the trees around the house they put a rope like device that detects body heat 1 meter away. This will be turned on during the day then at night the devices inside. When they finished Grandfather and the others went back.

"Hey how come nothing's change?" asked Sumire as she saw Hotaru and the others resting in the living room.

"It's because the devices that we put around the house looks like a common house item." explained Hotaru.

"Oh that explains everything." she said leaving the room.

Then they left the living room and helped the others with the grocery. And after that they started with the lunch. After the lunch they all went to the living room to watch TV.

"Oh yeah I heard from a lady that there will be a festival near here." said Nonoko.

"Oh yeah that's the Cherry Blossom Festival. You remember that Hotaru?" said Mikan then looking at Hotaru.

"Yeah you forced me to put on a kimono just so that I can come with you." she said remembering that day she first put on a kimono. (Let's say that's the first.)

"But you enjoyed It." said Mikan smiling.

"Why did she force you to put on a kimono anyway?" asked Ruka curiously.

"It's tradition to put on a kimono when you go to the festival." answered Hotaru.

"Aww… that's too bad we don't have kimonos" said Anna sadly.

"Don't worry we can buy them in a cheap price and I know where to look." said Mikan.

"Then all of us will go there tomorrow." said Hotaru.

"What do you mean by all of us?" asked Ruka.

"Us the whole class." said Hotaru plainly

"Why do we have to com too?" asked Natsume.

"Because boys have to wear kimonos as well, silly." said Mikan smiling.

"What!" he yelled.

"That's alright with me." said Ruka looking at Hotaru at the corner of his eyes.

"Yeah me too." agreed Yuu nodding.

"Whatever…" was all Natsume could say.

"Then it's settled we'll go to the market tomorrow." said Mikan happily.

"When is that festival anyway?" asked Yuu.

"Well its three days from now." said Anna trying to think if she remembers correctly.

"Then we have two days to prepare." said Mikan.

"Why don't we go now?" suggested Sumire.

"But it's late now it's already 4:30." said Yuu looking at the clock.

"Its 4:30 already…" said Sumire.

"I guess we should start cooking now so we can eat dinner early." said Anna.

"So what's for dinner tonight?" asked Sumire

"It will be fried fish and vegetables." said Anna

"Now who will help us cook?" asked Nonoko

"I'll help." said Sumire

"Me, too" said Mikan

"No you should get a shower now. I'll help them." said Yuu.

"Oh yeah." she said then got up and went to have a shower. After she finished Natsume went to get a shower. After a few minutes they were in the living room again waiting for dinner.

"Are you going to buy a new kimono?" asked Hotaru to Mikan.

"Yeah, my old one doesn't fit me anymore." she said turning her head to face Hotaru.

"Are you going to bring the fan that he gave you?" she said while Mikan's eyes widened because she know what will happen next.

"What fan and who give it to you?" asked Natsume that heard their conversation.

"A boy from our class before gave her a fan with cherry blossom in it. He gave it to her in the Cherry Blossom festival before he ran off." said Hotaru not letting Mikan explain it.

"Why did he run?" asked Ruka who was now listening to them.

"He told her that he likes her then he run away after that." said Hotaru

"Come with me." said Natsume grabbing Mikan's hands and walking away.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" asked Ruka.

"I dunno. Maybe I shouldn't have brought that up. Let's see what they're doing." said Hotaru as she stand up. And then both of them went after the two.

Natsume took Mikan to a Cherry Blossom tree at the backyard. Ruka and Hotaru were hiding behind a bush near the tree.

"So what did you answer to him?" asked Natsume as he sat down.

"Why are you acting like this?" she said not answering his question.

"Answer me…"

"Are you okay?"

"Answer me!" he shouted angrily not looking at her.

"I said that I don't like him."

"Good"

"Why are you acting like this?" she said as she lower down her body to look at his face which is covered by his hair. Then he raised his head and said "Because I don't want to lose you to anyone else. I don't know what will happen to me if I lose you…" then tears started to fall from his eyes.

"So you're jealous huh?" she said then she hugged him. "Don't worry you're the only one I love and you won't lose me I'll always be with you." then he hugged her back.

"You two should show yourselves before I burn you." he said as he wipe his tears.

"Sorry about that." said Hotaru as she stand up and walk towards them.

"That's alright. Now I discovered something." said Mikan giggling.

"And what is that?" asked Natsume raising his eyebrow.

"That you love me so much." she said laughing.

"Enough with that let's eat." said Ruka breaking the emotional scene.

"We already ate but we reserve some food for you guys." said Yuu.

"Where's the others?" asked Mikan

"They already went to bed. I'm going to bed, too. Goodnight" said Yuu leaving the room.

"Goodnight." said Hotaru and Mikan

"Night" said Natsume and Ruka

After they had dinner they stayed at the living room.

"I've been meaning to ask this." Mikan broke the silence.

"What is it?" asked Hotaru

"Do you like each other?" she said

"Why did you say that?" asked Ruka

"Well you two have been holding hands for quite sometime now." she said pointing at their hands. Then they took their hands away. And they look like they ate something very hot.

"Well…." "Ahmm…" said the two struck by this question.

"So that's a yes. Well I'm happy for both of you. And I remember when we were in the bus you two are so cute." said Mikan giggling.

"What happened when we were in the bus?" asked Hotaru to Ruka

"Well you see when you fell asleep your head fell to my shoulders and I didn't do anything about it and Mikan saw and said we looked cute together." explained Ruka.

"That's alright."

"Let's go to sleep." said Natsume standing up and opening the door.

"Alright." said his lovely partner.

"Let's go to sleep, too" said Ruka to Hotaru.

"Alright." she said

"Goodnight." they said to each other as they went in to their rooms.

Mikan's Room

"They look good together, don't you think?" asked Mikan to the one beside her.

"Yeah." he said

"I wish them to be happy." she said as she closed her eyes.

"Me, too." he replied and they both fall asleep.

Next Room

"Why does Mikan have to say that?" said Ruka

"She just wants to hear it directly from us... I think..." she said

"She wants the best for her best friend." he said

"Yeah, she's the best." closing her eyes and her companion did the same.
