Chapter 2

hehehe Heres the continuation

Last time.....

" Ma? " they both said looking at each other. When they looked back at her, her eyes all teary again and she had a flushed face and she hugged Mikan and cried on her chest.. " MAMA! You're here! I know you would'nt leave too!" she hugged them both and they were bothe startled.. here they were being hugged by an unknown girl and she was calling them mama and papa!

And now on with the story...

Hikari kept crying and kept hugging the two confused teens..... they had Big eyes and there mouths were wide as open that flies could get in there.. * hehehehehe*

When reality finally struck Natsume, He shook his head and returned to his normal face, he deattached himself from the crying girl who called him papa and glared at her while Mikan was still in LALA land

" Oi kid, who are you calling parents? I don't remember getting this Idiot of a girl pregnant." he referred to Mikan.

' mama mama mama mama mama mama......' was all that kept ringing in Mikan's head

until she heard Natsume's comment " Who Are you calling idiot! " Image she fumed she was still holding Hikari.

" I asked you a question kid" he said Ignoring Mikan and still had the glare

Hikari's tears died down and she looked at Natsume with her red face since she was just done crying but she was still sniffling because she thought her * papa * was angry

" Natsume! don't talk to the kid like that! you'll make her cry again !" she furrowed her eyebrows at natsume who just shrugged and looked away at her , she totally gets the fact that he wants her to talk to Hikari

" Fine ... " he said

" ne, whats your name?" she asked Hikari while smiling at her

" Hi- Hikari, "

" Ok ... Hikari-chan, uhm why did you call us mama and papa?, Maybe you got the wrong people Hikari-chan"

Hikari shook her head.. " Iie, I'm not mistaken, You are my mama and papa" she looked at them innocently

with her cute big round crimson eyes

Mikan sweat dropped " ano sa. ... I think Hikari-chan got the wro-" she didn't get to finish because Hikari stood up and looked at them

" I'm not wrong mama... my name is Hikari Hyuuga, daughter of Mikan and Natsume Hyuuga..." tears were again forming and it greatly affected mikan and Natsume for some reason while seeing her cry..."

Natsume sigh and came close to Hikari and Picked her up " We don't get any of this kid, Just stop crying... you'll look ugly like that girl over there if you cry... explain things clearly and we'll listen, got it?" he said in a manner like areal father,or like how he would treat youichi. surprisingly Hikari understood and Natsume Let her down to explain things. Mikan was utterly shocked of Natsume's treatment on Hikari, it was rare seeing Natsume like this. she was glad she get to see it.

' I didn't thought Natsume was this kind' she thought

" What are you staring out of space for pandas? sit down and listen" He said in his usual self " gah! I take back what I thought!' shejust glared at him and sat down on the grass..

" Start talking kid." but when they faced her.. the child was sound asleep, probably tired from all the crying. well, she only 5.

" Great, now where are we suppose to take her?" Natsume grumbled

" Should we Notify somebody about her?"

" We can't, she's not a student or resident of this school,we don't know what they could do to her. And we haven't had cleared explination yet. so its better if we hide her for a while."

" But where exactly?"

"Of course your room stupid! I can't keep her in mine..she's a girl" he said while glaring at her stating the obvious.

" Fine you did'nt have to glare " she said as she angrily pouted cutely,making Natsume hide a secret blush... Mikan lifted the tired Hikari and they proceeded hed back for Mikan's dorm in a while.

_-----------------------------------------------------------------___

Meanwhile ......

*pant pant*

" Geez that Imai, I can't believe she outwitted me again!" Ruka shouted ..

He was tired from all the chasing and he wasn't vey successful in capturing the ice-queen.. an on top of that he missed a class. Normally that doesn't bother him, but now that exam's are almost coming, he wanted to pay attention to the lessons so he could get a handicap on what to study.

And now, we find are animal prince panting at a place near the school barn where he usually visits.

' Well,no use to get her....I just can't beat that blackmailing queen! ' he sighed in defeat

' and classes already started... I guess I could greet the animals for a while...'

He made his way to the barn, he heard some commotion inside while he was halfway there and he was curious to know what it was.. so he opened the door......

and ladies and gentelman, what he saw made him sweat to death...

There in the barn, was Imai Hotaru selling his pictures to the barn animals! and they were oh so willing to get all of them! (lols^^ I wonder where the animals get money ^^)

"IMAI! STOP THAt!" he went closer to the stall Hotaru was setting but it was too late. it was all sold out( awww poor Ruka T^T )

he fell to the ground in defeat....and hotaru was just counting money.. the barn animals were happy as ever...with there animal noises making it annoying to count hotaru's money,she was about to use her baka gun to keep them quiet when voice stopped her.

" What's all this noise about?" all of them,I mean all of them stopped from what they were doing and looked at the owner of the voice. It was a little girl about the age of five, she had amethyst medium-length hair and sapphire eyes... she had the look that was unemotional but she had a pretty face.

" None of your concern kid " Hotaru stared at her.. they exchanged cold stares

" It is my business if you woke me up " she said as she stood up from the pile of hay and dusted herself. She wasn't wearing the school uniform but had casual clothes.. it seems she was sleeping on the hay and the irritating business noise woke her up.

" It's not my fault you slept in there.. you're not even suppose to be here..only attendants can come here" Hotaru said. the girl just smirked

" And I suppose your an attendant? because all I see is a business lady selling pictures to these animals.."

Hotaru grew a vein and Ruka was sweatdropping ' This girl is tough, '

Hotaru smiled a little " You're good kid.. what's your name? "

The girl didn't reply yet, she looked back at the pile of hay she slept on and rummaged through it, she felt something and pulled that thing out. Ruka was amazed that this girl seemed so experienced in handling the ice queen, When she faced them.. she was holding a pink rabbit and smiled at it, a smile that was really camouflaged by the look she had earlier..now she seemed like a cute child...

" Did these guys wake you up Usachi? " She asked the now awakened bunny and the bunny just rubbed his face on the girl and the girl gave out a lovely smile as she was tickled by the bunny's fur..Ruka was amazed again when he saw her face.. it was such a stone face awhile ago now its the most lively

Now our Ice queen was getting furious. Not did the girl ignore her question,but she ignored the great Imai herself! now that isn't a pretty sign.. she was giving off a murderous aura while pooping a vein.. Ruka was really pale and was sweatdropping

" Oi kid, You can't just go in there and ignore me. I asked You a question and you better answer me before i take out my baka-gun."

The girls smiling face changed back into the cold face she had.

" I'll tell you my name if you do me a favour. " Now this kid was totally getting on Hotaru's nerves. No one orders Hotaru aimed her baka gun at the girl and shot it but before it could hit the girl Ruka acted as a shield for the girl and got hit instead * oohh poor rukA XD*

" Tch. Stupid Animal boy"Ruka was unconcious Hotaru draw her baka-gun away and crossed her arms then looked at the girl.. ' Who does she remind me of? ' Hotaru thought seeing that the girl's face is familiar...

Sigh. The girl looked at Ruka then Hotaru " You sure haven't changed mom... you still hit dad with that baka gun of yours...

Reality struck. Hotaru dumbfounded.( though she didn't show it ) did that girl just call her mom? and to the fact she called Ruka dad? she shook her head.

" I don't know what your implimying about kid. "

" You heard me right mom " she replied all the animals had gone quiet seeming that this conversation was awkward so they just returned to their stables quietly

" Yeah right Kid and I'm queen of the world " she said sarcastically

" It's expected that you don't believe me... and Im prepared to the fact for proof " she rummaged through her shoulder bag ( She has a shoulder bag with her)

Hotaru raised a brow ... what the girl pulled out shocked her... it was her newly designed baka-gun that she didn't even make yet.. she was still on blue prints but what the girl had was really her invention... she took it and anayzed it.....after some analyzing... she really was certain that it was her's.

" Alright kid who are you and why do you have my invention, why did you call me mom?, why do you call him dad?" she demanded

" I'll explain if you help me find my friend."

" Who's this friend of yours? " The Girl looked at hotaru for a second before replying

" Sakura Mikan's and Hyuuga Natsume's daughter... You're Bestfriends'daughter "she said.

Ok, this really had our genius thinking hard. ' Hyuuga and Mikan's daughter? ' she thought

" Alright kid ,I'll help you out... This seems interesting, but you better explain this afterwards.." she said and the girl nodded..

Hotaru headed for the door..

" What about dad? " she said patting usachi's head reffering to the still unconcious Ruka who is now getting conforted by the animals

" He'll wake up later I'll just send Amanatsu to pick him up " she said looking at Ruka then averted her eyes to the girl who was still patting the bunny while looking at her so-called father. The thought that this girl kinda looks like Ruka right now amazed her, and that she can look seemingly like Hotaru when she's cold.

' Could it be possible? 'she thought then the girl headed toward her and said

" My name is Haruka. " Haruka said while passing Hotaru from the door... Now that name quite gave Hotaru a shock, but she didn't show it.. ' Haruka.. '

Flashback

" Hotaru, If you had a girl what would you name it? " Mikan asked of curiosity. she was in Hotaru's room, visiting... the Ice queen was writing something on her study table

" why'd you ask such a stupid question, don't you have anyone else to bother? " she said coldly

" Mou, Hotaru, I was just curious... I was just wondering if you'll name it after someone you like, or if you would combine your name after them too.."

" That's it, you're bothering me, go ask that stupid question to Anna or Nonoko. And you better get out here in the count of five or else I'll shoot you with my bakagun..."

" but... "

" four..." she pouted and used her puppy dog eyes

" That doesn't work on me, Three...." she aimed th baka gun

" ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! "

" TWO... " Mikan quickly got up from Hotaru's bed then dashed out the door but not before saying good night and I love you to Hotaru..

Hotaru sighed and went back to what she was writing 'name huh?' she scribbled something on her notebook and it wrote ' Nogi Haruka '

END OF fLASHBACK

"Are you coming ? " HAruka looked back at Hotaru's expressionless face.

" ye-yeah." she walked towards her And they walked out the barn...

And guess what they saw...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Natsume and Mikan were heading to her dorm, The kissing incident totally out of their minds since the Hikari incident. Mikan was carrying Hikari and she stopped her tracks. Natsume looked back at her..

" why'd you stop? " he asked

" Are? isn't that Hotaru getting out of the School's barn? and it seem s someone's with her. "she gave the sleeping Hikari carefully to Natsume.

" oi! " he protested

" Hold her for a while I wanna call out to Hotaru and i don't want to wake Hikari up. " she said as she ran towards Hotaru with a big smile as she called out to her.

--

" HO-TA-RUuuuU~ " she said. Hotaru and HAruka looked towards her when they got out from the barn

" Ah. Mikan "she said in her normal self... Mikan was heading toward them smiling and waving

" Aunt Mikan is still the same.. " Haruka said with her emotionless face too, while petting the bunny. ' Aunt Mikan ?' Hotaru thought

When Mikan finally got to them she panted then smiled... ' What are you doing here Hotaru? '

" The question is Mikan. What are YOU, doing here Aren't you suppose to be in class.."

Mikan Sweatdropped " I was already late and I don't want to face Jin-jin " she said... Natsume followed after her with a angry face.. just leaving him with Hikari and Running off definitely pissed him off

" You..." he glared at Mikan.. Hotaru was surprised seeing natsume carrying a child.. and this was a rare sight,so she did what she would normally do and took a picture. Natsume glared at her then.

Haruka stared at the child Natsume was carrying " Ah~ " she said cassually that made the three teens look at her..

" Hikari.." she said looking at hotaru...Mikan and Natsume just raised a brow. " You know this kid, kid? Natsume asked

" By the way.. who is she Hotaru? " Mikan asked

" Is she the one your talking about? " Hotaru looked at Haruka totally ignoring Mikan and she nodded.. Hotaru looked back at the sleeping child Natsume was carrying.. ' she does look similar to Mikan ' she thought

" OI... dont go all ignoring us Imai " Natsume glared at her ( Whoa! he's been glaring a lot)

"Oh shut Hyuuga, Give that child to Mikan and take your uncouncious friend in there. this Kid has a lot of explaining to do." NAtsume even glared at her more

" What happened to him.. "

" Let's just say he got hit by my upgraded baka-gun " Natsume just groaned and gake the chid to Mikan and went in to carry his bestfriend... Hikari shifted in her sleep and mumbled 'mama'

" Who is that girl Hotaru? "Mikan asked again..

" She is the girl who will answer all our problems right Haruka? "

Haruka just closed her eyes and patted her bunny calmly.. " Whatever, as long as i explain In a roomier place..."

This just left the brunette to raise a brow. Natsume came out with Ruka on his back and Hotaru saying to go to her lab...
