Chapter 9: Aoi's plans
In Natsume's room...
"Onii-chan, are you awake?" Aoi asked.
"Shut up and go to sleep." Natsume answered.
"So you are awake." Aoi grinned, "You seemed to like Mikan-chan!"
"Nonsense." Natsume blushed.
Aoi stood up and saw Natsume blushing.
"Ok, I am wrong, you don't like Mikan-chan, you LOVE Mikan-chan." Aoi teased.
She seems to be Kokoroyomi's sister. "So what?" He asked.
"Yeah! I am right!" yelled Aoi, bouncing on the bed.
"How can I sleep with you bouncing on the bed?" Natsume thundered.
"Sorry!" Aoi said, smiling.
He is my onii-chan, I should help him, let see, I think I shall make a plan to make onii-chan confess. Um... After five minutes, Aoi grinned. I will start my plan now.
And she went out of the room...
At that time...
What does Aoi mean? Natsume loves me. That's impossible.Wait, why am I thinking about him again, I shouldn't frozen because of him, he is not someone important like Hotaru. Mikan rolled on her bed. Now, I should forget all the things and have a good sleep.
And Mikan dozed off...
Back to Aoi...
Aoi was knocking on the door of Iinchou's room.
The door opened, "Aoi-chan, can I help you?" Iinchou asked, yawning.
"Can you do me a favour?" Aoi asked, using her adorable puppy eyes like Mikan.
"O...ok." Iinchou said. She is like Mikan-chan.
Aoi told Iinchou her plan.
"WHAT? Are you sure you want to do that?" Iinchou asked.
"Of course."
"I think Natsume will kill me for this."
"Don't worry, he is my brother, he won't kill you." Aoi winked at Iinchou.
"I suppose is ok." Iinchou replied.
"So, plan start!" Aoi whispered.
And she walked on to find Nonoko.
"Sorry, Natsume-kun." Iinchou said and started using his alice.
In Natsume's dream...
"Where am I?"I asked myself.
"You are in a place for facing your own feelings." Someone answered.
"Who are you?"I asked.
"I am you and you are me."
"So how do I call you?"
"Um... You can call me 'Hey'." The voice continued, "Now, let's play Truth or Dare."
"Truth or Dare? I am not as stupid as Aoi, I won't play stupid games."
"Then I will seperate you from Mikan."Hey said.
"Ok, ok, I am in."I said, blushing.
"Question no.1, do you love Mikan? You have to say the truth or I will seperate you from Mikan." Hey said.
"Ok, ok, I love Mikan, so?"
"Question no.2, Do you think Mikan will love you?"
"That's impossible, I always say mean things to her." I said, some tears starting to roll down my cheeks, I don't know why.
Hey giggled, "Question no.3 If Ruka love Mikan too,will you still continue loving Mikan?"
I realized that someone was playing a trick on me, "AOI! What kind of sister are you? Telling Tobita to do such stupid things."
Natsume woke up.
"I hope Aoi-chan will be ok tomorrow." Iinchou said to himself andwent back to sleep.
At that time...
"Ok, you can do it tomorrow." Aoi said to Nonoko.
"Ok, bye Aoi-chan." Nonoko replied. She is like Amanatsu.
Then she went to Hotaru's room.
After those sucessful talks, Aoi went back to Natsume's room.
Natsume was sitting on the bed, waiting for her.
"O..onii-chan, youare awake already?" Aoi asked.
"Where did you go?" Natsume asked.
"I just went to the kitchen to get some water." Aoi said, panicking.
Natsume sighed, "Stop telling people to do such stupid things foryou." Andhe went back to bed.
I did that for you, onii-chan, you will see tomorrow. Aoi grined and went to bed too.
The next day...
Natsume woke up and looked at the clock,ten past seven.
Wow, it is too early.
"Aoi!" Nastume searched his room but he still couldn't find Aoi.
So he got dressed and went out of his room to search for Aoi.
He was so shocked that he was in a maze.
Then he heard a voice, "You couldn't go back now, you have to go out of this maze to get freedom."
At the same time...
"Oh! Where am I?" Mikan asked herself, "Why am I in a maze?"
She heard a voice, "You couldn't go back now, you have to go out of this maze to get freedom."
"What the?" She yelled.
But she didn't have any choice, she had to find the exit.
In the classroom...
"Wow, Aoi-chan, you are so early, not like Mikan-chan and Natsume-kun." Iinchou said to Aoi.
"Thanks." Aoi smiled at Iinchou. I hope the plan works.
Flashback...
Aoi: Nonoko-chan, do you have any chemical that will turn into a maze, and will make poeple confess their feelings?
Nonoko:Um... Let's see... Their it is, the maze chemical!
Aoi: (whisper whisper whisper)
Nonoko: Are you sure you want to do it?
Aoi: Of course!
Nonoko: (whisper whisper whisper)
Aoi grinned.
End of Flashback...
Aoi winked at Hotaru.
Hotaru grinned at Aoi, her smile said, "Remember to give me nine hundred rabbits."
"Sure." Aoi whispered.
At that time...
Natsume saw a mirror in front of him, "Now what?" he thundered.
"You have to answer me before you can continue walking." A mysterious voice said.
"What the?"
"Do you love Mikan?"
Natsume blushed madly.
"I know what you are thinking, say the truth, or you won't be able to get out of here."
"Ok, I love her, so?"
"You can pass now."
Thenthe mirror dissapeared, and Natsume walked on.
Back to Mikan...
She saw a mirror in front of her, "What is that?" She asked herself and stared at the mirror.
"Speak the truth or you won't be able to get out of here." The mirror said impatiently.
"Amazing, a mirror can talk!" Mikan yelled.
"Do you love Natsume?"
Mikan blushed.
Her head was filled with the images of Natsume.
It made her blushed madly.
"Um... I think so..." Mikan whispered.
And the mirror dissapeared.
"So what do I do now?" Mikan asked the mirror.
"Walk on, dumbo." The mirror shouted.
So she walked on cheerfully.
And Natsume...
"I can't stand it anymore." Natsume said to himself, there is another mirror in front of him.
"Who will you choose, Ruka or Mikan?"
Natsume shouted impatiently while blushing, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
"Answer me or stay here, forever."
If I see you again, I will burnt you into pieces.
"Um... Mikan, I suppose." Natsume whispered.
And the mirror dissapeared.
Oh! Gosh! What am I thinking? Do I love her that much? What am I doing?
Mikan...
"Wow! Amazing! There is another cute little thingy." Mikan exclaimed.
This mirror isn't that bad tempered, "Well, do you mind if you answer me one question?"
"What is it? What is it?" Mikan asked, jumping up and down.
"Who will you choose, Hotaru or Natsume?"
Mikan was thinking hard, Hotaru is very nice to me, but Natsume... Oh! What am I thinking again.
But suddenly, something made her said, "Natsume."
What am I doing?
But she kept on walking...
Natsume...
"When I went back, I will break every mirror to pieces." Natsume said.
"Anyway, answer me, what will you do if you see Mikan here?"
"That's impossible!" Natsume thundered.
Suddenly, he heard a voice, "This place is cool!"
Natsume knew who it was.
"Mikan!"
"Cool! Natsume is here too, but where are you, Natsume?"
Natsume looked around too, but he couldn't find Mikan.
Then he realized that Mikan was just at the back of the mirror.
He rushed to Mikan by breaking the mirror.
And...
"Get off me, Natsume!" Mikan yelled.
Natsume found himself sitting on Mikan.
He quickly backed away, and blushed madly.
Mikan blushed too.
"By the way, Natsume, do you know where we are?"
Suddenly, the maze dissapeared, and the couple found themself standing in the middle of the classroom with hundreds of eyes watching them.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING?" Mikan yelled.
Suddenly, Kokoroyomi clapped loudly, and the whole class cheered, "Wow, this movie is great!", well not the whole class, except Ruka.
Natsume stared at Ruka, not knowing what to do.
He walked to Ruka when the whole class went away for lunch, "Ruka, I am sorry, but..."
"You don't need to say anything, Natsume, I understand, Mikan should be with you." And he smiled.
"Are you sure?" Natsume asked.
"Of course, we are friends! Go on, Natsume!"
Natsume smiled and went away.
At lunch...
Aoi went to Mikan, grinned and said, "Mikan-chan, I have something to tell you, I will meet you in the Northern Woods after class."
"Ok." Mikan said.
And Ruka went to find Natsume, "Natsume, Mikan will be waiting you in the Northern Woods after class, you should go and confess to her."
"But..."
"No buts." Ruka smiled. "Remember."
Natsume smiled.
After class...
Natsume ran to the Northern Woods and found Mikan, she is sitting on a tree branch,letting her hair down."
She is so beautiful with her hair down.Natsume blushed madly.
ThenMikan realized that Natsume was staring at her.
She blushed and came down from the tree, she asked Natsume, "Hey, Natsume, do you know wher Aoi-chan is? She said she will meet me here."
"I don't know where that girl is." Natsume replied, blushing.
Then they found a letter under Mikan's feet.
It said:
Mikan-chan,
I am so sorry, I can't go to the Northern Woods today, I need to go to Hotaru-chan's lab and help her with her new invention, so I asked Natsume onii-chan to come, I am very sorry.
Aoi
"Um... Mikan." Natsume began.
"What?" Mikan asked.
"I have to tell you something, the thing that I can't continue when we are with Persona."
Mikan blushed.
"It is I...lov..."
Before Natsume could continue, he was frozen, he saw two men on the tree.
To be continued...
