Chapter 4: Trapped in the darkness

What is he doing? Why didn't he shout at me, or at least glare at me? Mikan thought.

Then Hotaru hit her hard on the head, "We will leave you behind, Miss daydreamer."

"Wait, Hotaru!" Mikan said, running behind her.

"Welcome, this is our Flower Princess-sama's room." Ayame introduced, and she turned to the woman sitting in front of her, "Flower Princess-sama, they are Hotaru Imai and Sakura Mikan."

The woman turned to Hotaru and said "You look intelligent and beautiful with your cold purple eyes, are you Hotaru Imai?"

"Yes." Hotaru answered.

"And I am..." before Mikan could finish her words, the girls went in front of Hotaru and introduced themselves, "Hi! Hotaru-chan, I am Umeko, and this is Kikyo, Sango, Sayuri and Ayaka."

"Hey, princess-sama, what should we call her?" Ayaka turned to the princess and asked.

"We willcall her Purpurea (Purpurea is a very beautiful purple flower in Japane—Purple coneflower), it suits her calm purple eyes and her high intelligent." The princess said.

"It's a great name, it suits her very much, princess-sama!" Umeko, Kikyo, Sango, Ayame, Ayaka and Sayuri said.

"What is happening?" Mikan asked.

"Wedon't call real names in the Flower Garden Association, we have flower names, like Umeko, Ayaka, Ayame, such beautiful flowers." The princess explained to the idiot.

"Cool! My name is Mikan Sakura, what is my flower name?" Mikan asked, feeling excited.

But no one answered her.

Instead, the princess looked at Natsume and said, "Your eyes are as red as amber, I think I will call you Deiyuri."

Deiyuri, what a disgusting name... Natsume thought.

"Wow, it's so cute!" Mikan cried, "Ka-wa-ii!"

Natsume remembered the part when Mikan moved her head close to Natsume's and said he was cute.That madehim blushed madly.

"Oh! Princess-sama, Deiyuri-chan is really Deiyuri-chan, she is turning red now." Ayaka screamed in excitement.

Mikan stared at Natsume and giggled.

That made Natsume blushed even more.

Then the princess turned her head to Ruka, "Oh! I nearly forgot about you, your hair is blonde that looks like a Daffodil, I will call you Suisen."

"Wow, it suits you, Suisen-chan." Kikyo said, giggling.

Ruka stared at Mikan, he really hoped that Mikan will say he was cute, but she didn't.

"So, Purpurea-chan, do you want to eat?" Sango asked.

Hotaru's eyes flashed and she nodded.

Five minutes later...

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?" Mikan screamed. She only had one bowl of rice and no other things, but Hotaru has three bowls of rice, two dishes of fish, one dish of vegetables...

Everyone ignored her once again.

"Hey, answer me!"Mikan shouted.

Then Umeko turned around, she nodded at Sayuri and they went to Mikan.

"Oh! We are so sorry that we forgot about you, what's your name?" Umeko PRETENDED to be kind to Mikan.

"My name is Mikan, Mikan Sakura." The idiot said cheerfully.

"Mikan-chan, what a cute name, let me bring you something to drink!" Sayuri nodded at Umeko and went away.

After five minutes, Sayuri came back with a bucket of... disgusting herbs.

...Silence...

"Um... What's that?" Mikan said.

"Please drink that, Mikan-chan, it is good for your skin." Umekogrinned at Mikan.

"Is it?" Mikan asked and smelt the herbs, "It stinks!"

"It will be quite bitter, but you can do it, don't you?" Sayuri smiled.

"I won't lose!" Mikan said and drank it all.

Umeko nodded at Sayuri and yelled at the same time, "Princess-sama, please help us, she stinks!" and they went to the princess.

Everyone stared at Mikan.

"Do you mind going to another room?" the princess asked.

"Ok." Mikan said, drooping.

Natsume saw that and secretly followed her.

I want to stay with Hotaru, why do Sayuri and Umeko trick me? Help me, Hotaru-sama. Mikan thought.

Suddenly, Mikan heard some footsteps, she turned around and saw Natsume with a mask.

"Natsume!" Mikan walked towards Natsume, she was surprised that he was here.

"Stay away from me, stinky-pig!" Natsume shouted.

"Let me tell you once again, my name is Mikan, M-I-K-A-N! I am not ugly, idiot, or polka-dots, pervert." And she burst into tears.

"Hey, stop crying!" Natsume yelled.

"Everyone thinks I stink, I am so hungry and bored, and Hotaru left me and had her nice lunch." Mikan cried.

Suddenly, something landed on Mikan's head.

"Stop doingthat, it hurts!"Mikan pickedthe thingup, it was a tangerine.

"Thanks, Natsume." Mikan smiled at the blushing boy.

Natsume walked away.

"Natsume, where are you going?" Mikan asked.

"Toilet." Natsume answered.

He is not that bad, I think, but he is still a stupid pervert. And Mikan stuck her tongue at him.

Then she whispered, "I will wait for you here."

And Natsume blushed.

Mikan smiled at herself.

Ten seconds later...

"Stop daydreaming, ugly." Youichi said and a group of ghosts chased after Mikan.

"You-chan, why are you here?" The idiot asked while running away from the ghosts.

"Where is Onii-chan?" Youichi asked.

"He just went to toilet." Mikan said, still running around.

"Help me to find Onii-chan." Youichi pulled Mikan.

Then he whispered,"There is something strange here."

"Strange?" Mikan asked.

Suddenly, they fell down to the basement.

"Caught you!" Sayuri grinned, she didn't see Youichi because it was too dark.

"Answer me now, how do you get the invatation from the Flower Garden Association?" Sayuri asked Mikan.

"How do I know? It just said by random, let me out!" Mikan screamed.

"Stop lying, if you don't say the truth, I will lock you here."

"I haven't lied!" Mikan shouted.

And Sayuri locked the door.

At that time...

Natsume walked down the stairs.

"Where is the boys' toilet?" He asked himself.

It won't be there. Natsume thought to himself.

Suddenly, he heard a girl crying.

Who is that?

He turned around and saw a shadow, the shadow was like...

"Aoi!" Natsume shouted, and ran down the stairs.

When he went to the shadow, he found out that there wasn't anything, he was tricked.

He decided to go back, but the door was shut.

What is happening?

"Welcome to the basement of the Flower Garden Association, Natsume." Someone said.

Natsume looked around, "Persona!"

"You didn't seem happy to see me." Persona smiled at Natsume.

"Give Aoi back to me!" Natsume shouted.

"Then give me that girl."

"Never!"

Suddenly, Natsume heard a scream, it was Mikan's scream.

"Mikan!" Natsume shouted.

"So, that girl was here." Persona smiled. "It seems to be easier than I thought."

Natsume burnt down the door and went to find Mikan.

Don't die, idiot... He thought as he ran.

To be continued...
