Jealousy Hurts

Chapter 5: Fireball of Jealousy

The next week, Mikan planned to go to the park…. (Well, of course inside the Academy…) so, after school, she went to the park…through the bus. She'd wanted a happy day-She didn't want to get all teary and mope around, thinking about Natsume and Ruka.

When she went down the bus, a smile stretched clear across Mikan's face. That was because the bus dropped her off at the tree where she gave Natsume her last fluff puff…..(The central town tree)

But Mikan's smile turned to a sad face….remembering their confession…

She kept her head down. Perfectly still, the only things that moved were her eyes. That happened for about a minute...

She then looked up… and when she did, the lovely green leaves and flowers seemed to fall down. They seemed to sparkle and dance as they drifted back down.

It seemed weird though…There weren't any students at the park! Not even one…

"That's weird….a footstep couldn't be heard everywhere! There aren't any people here….I wonder why..." Mikan suspiciously said

SUDDENLY…She heard a boy shout "SHUT UP!"

She ran to where it was. Then her eyes widened…it was Natsume and Ruka! Fighting! Dun dun dun…….Her eyes really FLASHED wide…

She closed her eyes for a second or two, and then she opened her eyes because the thought….the memory…the feelings that came made her want to cry again.

"I wouldn't cry! "Mikan thought and said to herself

A warm trickle ran from her cheek to her chin. She fought tears for a moment, then, she made sure no one was around, close enough to her, she let go….

" WHY? Why do you have to go this far for me? Huh Natsume and Ruka?" Mikan was full of anger and confusion…she didn't know what she felt inside her though.

When she wiped her eyes, they stung a little…Guess it was from grinding the salty tears in with the back of her hands...

"Natsume, we can settle this through just talking! I don't want to fight with you…"Ruka tried to convince Natsume. Obviously, he can't...

Mikan then gathered all of her strength and pushed her to the front of the tree she was hiding from.

"Enough of this! Stop it Natsume and Ruka!" Mikan snorted.

"What's the use of fighting just for me?" Mikan shouted. She was so disappointed.

"Look Mikan, stay out of this…."Natsume said.

"No! I won't!" Mikan answered

Mikan just forced herself to look and stare down at the grass. She forced herself-worked as hard as she could-to chase the feelings and anger away.

"Look Ruka…Give her up…."Natsume said…

"No…I like her…I know you do too….but…I like her more than you do!" Ruka said.

"I have no choice…"Natsume smugged

Mikan now looked up…she wanted to do her best to stop everything.

"I really have no choice Ruka…You'll be sorry…."Natsume brought out a small, short laugh and threw a HUGE fire ball at Ruka! OH NO!

"NO! STOP IT!" Mikan shouted as she ran towards Ruka and pushed him. Giving all of the impact and pain of the fire ball to herself..

It was so strong….that it pushed her to the end of the cliff and she rolled down and hit the big stone….. (To be accurate…it hit her head)

Every second of that fire ball torture gave Mikan the worst face of pain…even Natsume couldn't take it….

"Mi…mi…….MIKAN! " Natsume shouted…

It was heard until the classroom…Hotaru and Yuu heard it…giving them the signal to go there to the park.

---------- In the classroom ----------

Hotaru and Yuu were quietly cleaning the classroom, because it was their week to do their duties. The whole room was quiet until...

"Mi…mi…….MIKAN! "

"(gasp) What's that!" Yuu shockingly asked.

"I think something has happened to Mikan" Hotaru said calmly but her face showed worried ness.

"And I think it was Natsume who screamed." Yuu said worriedly.

"We better go and see what happened to Mikan... it seems serious." Hotaru said as she still has her usual emotionless face.

"Yeah I guess you're right... it is pretty awkward for Natsume to scream like that."

"Well come on..." Hotaru demanded as she threw their brooms and sat on her flying duck bike. "You can ride here with me so we can go there faster."

"Ok thanks Hotaru" Yuu said as he sat on the flying duck bike.

"You're welcome"

And so they rode off to the park.

---------- In the Park ----------

"Mi...Mikan..." Ruka said as tears came streaming down his face. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT NATSUME!" Ruka screamed still having tears forming in his eyes.

"THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF YOU GAVE HER UP!" Natsume answered screaming also having tears in his eyes but fewer then Ruka's.

"I TOLD YOU THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO FIGHT BUT YOU WERE TOO STUBBORN!"

"TAKE THAT BACK!"

"Shut up idiots!" Hotaru shouted at the two boys while she was sitting on her flying duck bike and having Yuu at her back.

"Do you really think that will help Mikan? You should take her to the hospital you idiots. Not standing there acting like who you are, yeah IDIOTS!" Hotaru calmly scolded the two.

Eventually Natsume and Ruka snapped back into reality and ran to Mikan.

"Mikan! Wake up!" Ruka screamed hoping the girl will wake up.

"She's unconscious." Natsume said as he started to carry Mikan bridal style.

"Ok. Let's head to the hospital, and QUICK!" Ruka calmly answered as they both headed to the hospital.

"It's good that you two calmed down. Why were you two fighting?" Yuu asked.

"That's not necessary right now. Come on let's go to the hospital." Hotaru said calmly while turning to her flying duck bike and started following the two boys and unconscious girl.

---------- In the hospital ----------

They had Mikan admitted to the hospital and waited for the doctor to come out.

5 minutes of waiting...

10 minutes...

20 minutes...

30 minutes...

40 minutes...

"I hope Mikan is alright!" Yuu worriedly said as he broke the silence. Unfortunately no one answered back. Yuu just sighed and continued waiting.

"It's taking too long….I can feel that her injury is really very serious" Hotaru guessed.

30 more minutes...

Another 10 minutes...

Then the doctor burst and came out of the door with a sad expression in his face. "poor girl" the doctor murmured but luckily no one heard.

"What happened to Mikan doctor?" Yuu worriedly asked.

"Well since the friction of her and the ground was pretty intense she has quite a few bruises in her legs. Also the power of her hitting that rock was really intense she broke her arms and ankles and..." The doctor stopped and then sighed.

"Just break it to us doctor." Hotaru told the doctor calmly. Well since neither of Natsume or Ruka spoke since their way to the hospital, Hotaru had to speak. It seems that they were guilty of what happened.

"Well I hate to say this but..."

"It's alright doctor it would be better if you would tell us now than later." Yuu said

"Ok..." The doctor started to say. "You see your friend has..."

"What is it?" Hotaru calmly asked.

"Amnesia" The doctor finally told them, as he sighed a sigh of pity.

Everyone gasped and had a sad look on their faces aside from Hotaru. She still has her normal emotionless face but at least she sighed. Right?

"But the good news is she can regain her memory back if you help her in her daily routines."

"Ok thank you for telling us the truth doctor" Hotaru gratefully yet calmly thanked the doctor.

"Can we see her?" Natsume sadly asked.

The doctor just gave a small nod as he left.

---------- In the hospital room ----------

There she was, the once happy-go-lucky girl, Mikan, lying in the hospital bed, unconscious. Just then Ruka approached the unconscious girl, held her hand and whispered...

"I'm sorry"

He whispered as he had watery eyes and let go of her hand. Just then Natsume also approached the unconscious girl and whispered.

"I'm also sorry Mikan..."

"I promise I'll help you regain your memories..." Natsume whispered as he got her hand and held it tighter and whispered...

"I promise"

As if by cue, he felt a tickle in his cheek. He started crying again.

'I'll never let you go!' He thought while frowning and having tears in his eyes. Still holding her hand but now really tight. He was careful not to add any other injuries to his beloved.

'Not at this time…..'

'I really love you…..'

'Mikan…'
