Chapter 3 : Double Trouble
"Sakura-san..umm..pp..please..sstop..lll...let me go.." said Ruka nervously.
"No" replied the cat as she smiled to Ruka (that make him blush madly)
"Because that accident, this girl start to have an intelligent of ape, just wait 'till Shoda saw this," Hotaru mumbled.
"...What can we do?" Yuu asked.
"Nothing, all we need is time.. maybe.."
"..."
"By the way Mikan, let Ruka go now, look like he has a high fever, you dont want to be affected, dont you?" Hotaru pointing at Ruka who petrified and has a color of tomatoes in his face.
"It's ok...as long..I..can be with..my..Ruka..ne, Ruka?" said the cat annoyingly.
"..." - (Ruka)
"Well, we should back to the classroom, the lesson starting soon..." Yuu looking at his watch.
"Yeah you're right. C'mon, Ruka, Mikan"
"yy..yeah.." Ruka replied, the cat still clunging in his neck.
Hotaru and Yuu sweatdropped.
---
'If I'm in my own body, sure I'm crying badly now...' Mikan walked with her head down,
'I can do nothing now, maybe I'll back to my room...'
She climbed the nearby tree so she reach the window to her room, soon she lying in her comfortable bed.
'Hotaruu.. I missed you hardly...' Then she closed her eyes for deep slumber.
---
"HOLY MOLY! LET RUKA GO, SAKURA-SAN! OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Sumire yelled as she saw Hotaru, Yuu, and Ruka with Mikan clunging in his neck.
"No" The cat replied as she stuck out her tongue.
"You--INSOLENT WRETCH!" Sumire transformed in her cat-dog state and running toward Mikan.
But the cat let go from Ruka's neck and unleashed her 'wild' act and faced Sumire.
"So you decide to fight, eh? BRING IT ON!" Sumire roared and managed to attack the cat, but she easily avoid the attack and knock Sumire down.
The whole class become very crowded. Even some of them placed a bet who will win this fight with the jackpot of some free eat voucher in Central Town, while everybody supported each of they "fighter" like in World Cup (A/N : hey, I run World Cup and support Germany, anyway ).
"Heh, you're quite good... really unpredictable.." Sumire smirked as she stood up, "But I WONT allow you to won!" She jumped to the cat while the door opened.
"Ah, Natsume," Hotaru said in a cool way.
Silence engulfed the class.
"What make this class really crowded?" He frown his eyes and notice Ruka that look the cat and Sumire with worried face. Then turned to Natsume.
Natsume walked to his chair and sit with his usual position.
"AAAAHHH... NATSUMEEEEEEE!" Sumire turn into her normal state and rushed to Natsume.
"Co..ward" The cat mumbling and then grinned to Sumire.
"YOU!" Sumire twitched with her word, Natsume frown in confusion.
"Sakura-san, please, it's ENOUGH!" Ruka yelled, realize he's the point of this fight.
All of students eyes pointing on Ruka, Hotaru smiled.
"You really different today.. I dont like you act this way" said Ruka as he tapped the cat's shoulder and give his frowned eyes.
The cat suddenly felt silence for a while.
"Well, that's better" he sighed.
She looked deeply in Ruka's eyes, "Ruka..are you...really..hate...me?"
Ruka shocked as he saw tears fall from her eyes.
"N..No.. I didnt meant that..."
"..." Natsume looked at them, he suddenly felt strange and angry in some unknown reason looking at those two.
"Konnichiwa Minna-san! Sorry I'm late today, anyway, our happy lesson will begin now!" Narumi-sensei entered the room as he noticing some awkwardness engulfed the class.
"Ooow... Something happen.." he walked toward Ruka and the cat in center of other students.
He bent on his knee and smiled to the cat, "So you all right now, Mikan-chan?"
"sniff..Who..are...you..?sniff"
-silence-
"Dont acting like that Mikan-chan, its hurt!" Narumi break the silence.
"I..I really dont understand anything..when I wake up... I only knew..Ruka..."
"Oh boy.." Narumi look startled, the class began gasping, Ruka blushed, Natsume read his manga.
"Sensei, maybe she just need some rest.. she's acting strange lately" Said Hotaru.
"Maybe.. Imai, can you take her to her room? I give a permission in this case.."
"Sir, let's go Mikan,"
"No, I just..want to be with Ruka..even he hates me"
"I dont hate you, Sakura-san. For the God's sake. Anyway, you need to rest. Go to your room with Imai.."
"Okay.. if you say so..."
Hotaru grinned, "come on, then"
"Meow.."
---
Mikan opened her eyes slowly,
'I'm asleep... well.. It's bored in here, better I'm out and looked the class... I really want to see Hotaru!' She wake up and get out from the window.
---
Hotaru and the cat walk hand in hand. roaming around the corridors
"eerr...what's your..name..? meow.." the cat asked.
Hotaru stopped and stare straight to her eyes.
"You dont know me?"
The cat shooked her head vigorously then smiling wide.
Hotaru sighed "It's Hotaru, Hotaru Imai"
"Ho..ta..ru..?"
"whatever, this is your room, get in and REST"
"should..I?"
"Yeah of course" Hotaru pushed her inside the room, slammed the door, and head back to the class.
"hope she'll back to her normal self soon.."
---
Mikan jumped to nearby branch that leads to the windows of her class.
'Why this class looks very quiet, considering it was Narumi-sensei's "happy class"?' Thought Mikan
'Hey! Where's Hotaru? She didnt cutting class, did she?' She added as she noticed the whole class.
'By the way, I want to know where's my body now... wait.. Did she hang out somewhere with Hotaru? NO WAY! IT CANT BE!'
Then she saw the class's door opened, and Hotaru entered the room.
'Ah! There is she.. But.. She wasnt with my body!'
"How's Mikan-chan doing, Hotaru?" Narumi asked when Hotaru sit in her chair.
"I already told her to sleep"
"Oh, all right then... Let's continue.."
Suddenly a paper plane landing on Hotaru's desk, realizing it was a message from afar desk, she carefully opened the paper to see what it about.
'Imai, Is she alright?Ruka'
Hotaru turn her head to see Ruka's smile nervously, she just give him a nod.
Ruka seems relieved with her answer, even its just a small nod, then he patted his rabbit's head (A/N :I read in manga that the rabbit's name was Izuko, but Mikan called it Usagin, that make the "Usagin" name popular.) and mumbling,
"What will happen if she turn back to her normal self?"
Natsume stare at Ruka from the corner of his eyes, then he stood up.
"Naru, I had to go to toilet"
Narumi sighed, he knew that Natsume wouldnt back and always cutting his class.
"Go away.."
Ruka look at Natsume and managed to stood up, but Natsume interrupt him to stood.
"Let me alone" He whispered.
"Uh..Okay..If that what you want" Ruka answered.
Natsume walk toward the door and slammed it.
'That Natsume.. He's cutting class again, considering he already cutting previous class, he look like a real lazy pig now.' Mikan frowned her eyes.
'Anyway, better I back to my room, maybe I can find the cat in my body and find a way to return to normal, ALL RIGHT!" She said as she jumped down the tree.
---
"Meow.. I cant sleep with this body... yet the uniform..was..hot" said the cat.
She took off her sweater, so she now only wore her white inner shirt. This time she buttoned it. Then she jumped to the bed and hug the pillow.
"I want to back to normal state...but..if that happen..I..I afraid I cant be with..Ruka..." She blushed.
"But if I keep in this body.. I understand nothing about human things.. oh yeah..that reminds me..why last time Ruka yelled at me...this eyes let out some water..?" the cat rolled her body.
"Meow.. Maybe I can study about human from the out..side.." She wakes up and walk outside her room.
---
'THERE YOU ARE KITTY!' Mikan yelled (err..meowed loudly?) as she reach her room's window, but she found nobody's there.
'My God, dont tell me that cat wandering somewhere else and make a trouble with my body..'
