Jealousy Hurts

Chapter 8: The Truth

----------Hospital room, 158----------

The room was very quiet; the only noise heard was the noise coming out of the air-conditioner. The air-conditioner then turned to another direction and let out its cool breeze to a sleeping blonde boy, as it brush his blonde hair making it flow in the wind. As you all know this is Ruka Nogi. After Mikan has drifted into dream land Ruka told the others, by a phone on what has happened to Mikan. The all had agreed that Ruka will take care of Mikan while she's in the hospital, even Natsume.

Ruka then woke up, realizing that he was hungry, and needed to go to the restroom. He then made a small prayer that Mikan will be alright while he's gone before he exited the door, leaving the sleeping girl alone in the hospital room.

Cluck.

Ruka had finally closed the door after taking one last glance at his beloved, leaving the sleeping girl alone in the hospital room.

As Mikan was sleeping very soundly as she was having a dream.

----------Mikan's dream----------

Mikan was in a blank place, it was just all white.

"Where am I?" Mikan asked to nobody at all. "Hello?" Mikan shouted as her voice echoed the blank place. As she hoped, someone did answer, it was a deep voice and she recognized this very voice.

"Mikan, Mikan" the voice echoed. It was a gentle voice and didn't mean harm to Mikan.

"Grandpa?" Mikan had finally recognized the voice of her grandpa.

"Ahh, it's a good thing you remember me!" Mikan's grandpa said as he appeared in front of Mikan.

"Grandpa!" Mikan shouted excitedly as he jumped a hug to her grandpa. Unlike Hotaru, Mikan's grandpa let her hug him as he patted the girl's head.

"Long time no see!" Mikan's grandpa said, smiling.

Mikan just nodded.

"Now Mikan I have something to tell you and ask you." Mikan's grandpa said.

"Okay" Mikan said releasing her grandpa from her hug.

"Now Mikan do you remember your recent dream of me?"

"No. But I do remember something, but I can't remember."

"I see."

"Okay now what did you want to tell me?"

"Well you see Mikan; I'll be giving you a little gift!"

"Huh? What is it?"

"I'll be giving a small fragment of your memory, but it may hurt a bit, and you WILL remember this dream this time." Mikan's grandpa said as a small light appeared in his palm.

"Huh?" Mikan said as she stared at the light.

"You will get your other memories with the help of your friends. Tell them, this is your mission. Tell them that after getting all of your memories back they will finally know 'the truth'."

"Huh? 'the truth'?" Mikan questioned as he put his palm (with the light) on top of her head gently.

"Yes, 'the truth' Oh and also tell them I said 'Hi!'" Mikan's grandpa finally instructed Mikan as Mikan suddenly slowly started to move apart from her grandpa.

"Huh? Wait grandpa!" Mikan said hoping her grandpa would come back. But suddenly woke up.

----------Hospital room, 158----------

Mikan had finally woke up from her deep slumber as she notice a blonde haired boy enter the room with a ham sandwich in his right hand.

"Oh, so you're finally awake Mikan." Ruka said while smiling.

Mikan smiled slightly but turned to a frown as he felt a terrible pain in her head. The pain was so intense she screamed.

"Mikan!" Ruka said dropping his sandwich as he neared Mikan.

Suddenly a nurse came bursting in.

"What's the entire ruckus about!" the nurse said with a worried look on her face.

"It's Mikan! She's in terrible pain!" Ruka called out to the nurse.

"Huh? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?" The nurse said running in circles.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Mikan screamed at the pain.

"This is no time for that! CALL THE DOCTOR!" Ruka shouted

"Oh yes of course! Right away!" The nurse said as she quickly exited the door.

"Don't worry Mikan, the doctor will come back soon" Ruka said doing his best to calm the poor girl down. He patted her head lightly as well.

As if by cue the door burst in with a panting doctor and nurse and the doctor had a VERY terrified look at his face.

"There she is doctor! The girl in pain!" The nurse screamed at the ear of the doctor.

"Ok, first tell me where does it hurt?" The doctor questioned as he massaged his aching ear.

"My head! It hurts!" Mikan shouted with her hands glued to her head.

"Here take this pill!" The doctor instructed as he handed the pill to Mikan and gave her water. Mikan gulped the pill and the pain reduced a little, but it still hurts.

"This medicine will completely relieve the pain after 3 minutes you have to wait." The doctor said to Mikan.

Mikan just nodded. But then suddenly her eyes grew wide.

"Y... Y...Yu... YUU! I remember YUU! I remember him completely!" Mikan shouted with a shocked face.

"WHAT?" Ruka asked Mikan shockingly.

"Is this Yuu person your friend?" The doctor asked.

"Yes."

"Ah, I see that means her memories are coming back, tell me do you remember anything other than that."

"Aside from Natsume and grandpa, no."

"I see, you and your friends just have to help make your memories come back, ok? "

"Ok"

"You can leave the hospital after an hour; I'll give you the prescription for your medicine."

"Okay thank you."

"Your welcome." The doctor said as he and the nurse exited the room.

"Mikan." Ruka called the brunette girl.

"Yes." Mikan answered politely.

"Why don't I buy that medicine for you, there is a pharmacy downstairs."

"Well, ok….but I WILL pay you the bill…"she said, chuckling. She did put an indention on the WILL.

As Mikan said those nine words, Ruka headed to the door and exited the room, leaving Mikan all alone.

"(sigh)Ouch…That really hurt!" The Mikan complained to no one in particular.

"Of course it hurts! Didn't I tell you that?" Mikan's grandpa said as he started to appear front of Mikan's bed.

"Grandpa?"

"Of course it's me. Now Mikan we only have limited time, your blonde friend of yours might be coming back any minute now, if he sees me he might think he's seeing a ghost."

"Actually grandpa you are a ghost."

"I call myself a spirit then a ghost." Mikan's grandpa said with a nerve popping out of his forehead.

"Never mind that, what do you want to tell me?"

"Well now that you mentioned it, there is no need for me to tell you that and oh REMEMBER to tell your friends, even if they think that it's baloney to see your grandpa's gho... err... um... spirit you have to convince them ok?"

"Ok" Mikan answered while nodding her head

"And Mikan..." Mikan's grandpa started his question.

Mikan just stared at her grandpa.

"I know it hurts when you get your memories back but you just have to bear it, it's for everyone's benefit, ok?"

Mikan just nodded.

"Good"

Then suddenly they heard footsteps nearing the room.

"Woops, I think that's your blonde friend, well see you again next time." Mikan's grandpa said while slowly fading away. As he was fading, glitters followed the fading figure.

"Ok, bye grandpa." Mikan said as her grandpa faded completely and the glitters already disappeared.

As if by cue the door opened and revealed Ruka with Mikan's medicine in his right hand while the right hand was on the doorknob.

"Hi Mikan I bought your medicine already."

"Thanks Ruka, can we go out of the hospital now I have something to tell to you guys"

"Do you mean me, Hotaru, Yuu and Natsume?"

"Yes."

"Well ok."

And so Mikan and Ruka told the nurse in charge that they'll be leaving and exited the hospital.

"So Mikan what did you want to tell us?" Ruka said while walking to the dormitory where their friends are suppose to meet in Hotaru's room. (Ruka called them)

"I want to tell it to everyone at the same time if you don't mind Ruka."

"Well, ok if you say so Mikan."

They grew silent while walking to the dormitory.

5 minutes of walking...

6 minutes...

7 minutes...

After seven minutes of silent walking, Ruka broke the silence and entered Hotaru's dorm room.

"Well here we are." Ruka said

Mikan just nodded.

Ruka opened the door and they both went in and saw everyone.

"You guys finally made it, please sit down." Hotaru said calmly as the pointed to a rectangular table with chairs.

"You too, Yuu,Natsume."

Yuu and Natsume followed Hotaru's order.

When they all have been seated in their chairs Hotaru spoke up.

"So Mikan, are you feeling better?"

"Yes."

"So what did you want to tell us Mikan?" Yuu asked.

"Well you guys may think this is baloney but when I was resting I saw my grandpa in my sleep and he gave me some of my memories too so I remember Yuu completely now"

"Really?" Yuu asked Mikan excitedly.

"Well that's nice to hear!" Yuu said smiling.

Mikan returned a smile and spoke up "Anyway my grandpa told me that if you help me get my memories back, we will finally know 'the truth'" Mikan said as she made air quotation marks in the air while saying the truth.

"Well, what's 'the truth' ?Natsume asked.

"I dunno." Mikan answered.

"I think I know what it is." Hotaru said while making a smirk.

"Really? Then what is it?" Ruka asked

"Very well but I suggest that Mikan doesn't hear, she won't understand."

"Huh? That's so unfair!" Mikan complained

"You'll find out 'the truth' when you get your memories back, just be patient." Hotaru said calmly.

"Well, ok" Mikan said giving up.

"Okay now guys come over here." Hotaru said while she was standing 2 meters away from the table and whispered something to the group. Upon hearing this Ruka and Natsume blushed.

'The truth' Mikan started to think

'I wonder what it is.'

'Guess I'll just have to wait.'

AN: And you too will have to wait because you will know 'the truth' in the next chap:D oh and…this is Patricia speaking….This WHOLE chapter was made by only angelica angelica:D
