Chapter XII: Luna Knows It All
Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice. It belongs to someone else!
A brunette was found, worrisome while in front of the computer. All she can think about is the confession he said about her.
"I am interested in you." She imagined him saying those words right out of his mouth. "Why me? Why me? Why me?" She kept on saying those words until she screamed… "AH"
While upstairs is the crimson eyed man, waking up from his sleep. "That idiot." He said to himself as he scratched his head, still sleepy after work.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Natsume went downstairs. He headed to the dining room, passing by the puzzled girl who was cooking his breakfast. He tried to say a word. "Looks like our idiot is extra-worried today."
"I'm already worried enough. Can you say something nice to brighten my day?" Mikan requested as she continues to cook eggs.
Then, Mikan served Natsume some eggs with a weird side dish. Natsume observed it, and then asked Mikan. "What is this? My rice is soaked in water."
"You said you were sick of having rice everyday. That's why I made this to change your menu." Mikan replied. "It's porridge."
"This is not porridge. This is rice soaked with toilet water." Natsume fought back
"Excuse me! If you want rice soaked with toilet water, just go get it. I wake up every 7:00 in the morning just to serve you breakfast from the heart, but it seems that you don't appreciate it. Why don't you just make your own breakfast, eh?" Mikan said.
"I would but you're a woman. You cook the worst food anyone has ever tasted!"
"If I was a level angrier now, I would've put rat poison in your food! I'm already worried enough, thank you! But here's a tip for you, Master Natsume Hyuuga! Don't make my problems worse because if I get stressed, I'll look older and it's your fault!"
"What do I care about your figure?"
"A girl like me is meticulous in everything I do!"
"You're not a girl! You're a Baka! Poultry, for Pete's sake!"
"You're not human at all! You're a zombie, I tell you! Zombie, zombie, zombie!"
"DING DONG"
"YOU GET THE DOOR!" both of them yelled. "FINE, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" they said as Natsume went outside, while Mikan opened the door.
"What?!" she yelled at the visitor.
"Gee, you're in a bad mood." The visitor replied as Mikan realized who it was. "Hikaru?"
"Thank you for realizing." She replied as they hugged and laughed along. After letting go, Hikaru explained some things to her sister. "I heard that you moved to another house. But why? I mean, you can't afford to buy this mansion all by yourself. It's so-… oh my god! Is that Natsume Hyuuga behind you?!" Hikaru asked as Mikan turned around, seeing Natsume.
"What the-!" Mikan was surprised.
"Wait a minute… you two… are… living in?" Hikaru asked.
"No, no! It's not like this, Hikaru. Please understand." Mikan begged as Hikaru continued to panic. Then, she became calm.
"I understand." She replied
"What?" Mikan and Natsume asked.
"I heard that they have a friend who acts as the wife and mother of this famous star from Anna and Nonoko. But I never expected that my sister Mikan would be that lucky girl!"
"Wait… Anna and Nonoko were talking about it?"
"Yeah… something like that. Why?"
"Does everyone know about this? Did anyone found out about this agreement?"
"Hmm… I never had the chance to ask them, but it's been spreading like fire."
"Anna… and… Nonoko…" Mikan thought as she pulled out her cell phone and called the twins.
"Hello" Anna was on the line back then.
"I HEARD YOU TWO ARE SPREADING SOME THINGS ABOUT MY JOB! WHO KNOWS IT?" Mikan shouted on the phone as Anna covered the phone.
"Mikan, I might be deaf. Just tell me what's wrong." Anna replied.
"How can I calm down when someone knows about Natsume and me?" Mikan asked.
"Wait… we weren't spreading news about this."
"Then how come Hikaru-Chan knows this?"
"We explained your situation, duh! I mean, Hikaru went back to Japan just to confirm if you're really with Natsume. No need to worry since we didn't spread it to everyone!"
"WHAT?!" Mikan exclaimed as Natsume snatched the phone from her. "Give me the phone."
"Hello… you beggars! You know what will happen to my career if the press knew about this? My stardom will be over so you better shut your big mouths there!" Natsume was so mad that time.
"Yeah, yeah. But some rumors just spread like fire. Don't worry! We'll keep it safe." Anna replied
"Just keep it safe or I'll really punch you for the first time!"
"Yeah, yeah. Now can I talk to Mikan?" Anna asked as Natsume handed the phone to Mikan.
"Look… keep this as safe as you can because if this thing reaches the press, remember that I'm the best karate chopper in our class. I'll be beating you until you're dead and never leave a trace. Do we understand each other?" Mikan asked.
"Alright; we're sorry." Anna said.
"Just make sure I can believe your words." Mikan said,
"Of course! You can definitely trust us. Now, bye bye!" Anna ended the conversation as she turned off her phone.
"Looks like we need to keep this safe as possible." Mikan said.
"But sister, for your own good, please stop this now." Hikaru requested
"What do you mean? I'm being charged here 500, 000 yen." Mikan answered.
"But… Mikan onee-Chan… I'm worried about you. I mean… you're not really married but you're acting like this? You know what, marriage is a sacred thing but all you can think about is money. Are you that desperate that you can be a prostitute for a guy just to earn some money?"
"Look… I'm not that desperate, okay?"
"Look… you're my inspiration, big sister. Everyone admires you for your great stories and people wanted to be like you. But if this scandal appears on the newspapers, I think I can't be of service. Are you sure you're taking the right path?" Hikaru asked as Mikan thought of it carefully. She hesitated at first, but she knew her answer. She balled her fist, and gained the strength to tell her little sister her reply.
"This is the path where my heart tells me to go. And I think that… I can be happy if I continue to walk forward. Remember what mom told us; only do…"
"What your heart tells you." Hikaru cut her before she was able to say it.
"Anyways, you got my point, right?" Mikan asked
"But can I assure that you'll be happy?"
"I don't regret any decision I made in my lifetime. Because I know I may be walking in that path."
"We don't know what lies ahead of us… maybe Anna and Nonoko were right. You were becoming more responsible and more mature than me."
"I should be… since I'm your big sister." Mikan replied as she hugged her sister.
"I wish you luck onee-Chan." Hikaru said
"Arigato" Mikan answered.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Luna Koizumi, what's your next movie all about?
"Well… it's about this cheerful girl who lost all her memories. And this guy helps her to remember… though it sounds boring, I assure you it's a very nice movie." Luna replied as she posed for the camera. "Um… can you excuse me?" she said as she left the table, and headed to the restroom. She shut the door behind her, and said; "Paparazzi; I hate them! So annoying." Then, she headed to the toilet to pee.
While peeing, two girls entered the restroom.
"Alright; Nonoko… don't tell anyone about Mikan and Natsume's situation, okay?"
"Hush; maybe someone's watching. Remember; there are lots of reporters out there, so don't say a word. Mikan trusts us, so we must remain faithful to her. We're her best friends after Hotaru…"
"Yes… I mean… I wonder what will happen if the press knows Mikan and Natsume are not really married."
"Yeah… and what if they know that she's being paid to be Youichi's mother. Poor guy."
"Who Mikan and Natsume? Could it be… oh. My. god." Luna thought as she listened to every word Anna and Nonoko say.
"Right! Mikan, you can trust on us!" both of them said as they left the restroom. Then, Luna opened the door, and went to the sink to wash her hands.
"Mikan and Natsume aren't really married?" Luna thought. "She's being paid to be the mother of that stupid kid."
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Luna was sitting down. She seems to be waiting for someone… and that someone is Natsume.
"Luna, you called me. What's wrong?" Natsume asked.
Luna gave a deep sigh, and then, she spoke her words. "Tell me the truth Natsume. Are you and Mikan… for show?"
Natsume's eyes widened that time as Luna continued to look worried. "How did you know about this?"
"That's not important. What's important is… what if the press knew about this?"
"I know… but… I was just thinking about Youichi. I didn't plan for people to know about this."
"No secrets are held unspoken. One day, your relationship with Mikan shall be revealed… and both of you will lose their shine."
"Luna… please don't tell anyone about this. I'll do anything."
"Can I ask you one favor, Natsume?"
"What?"
"Can I… make room inside your heart?" Luna asked those words that made Natsume shock. "I won't tell anyone… and I'm not going to blackmail you. I just wanted to say this for a long time. Can I… make room inside your heart?"
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
"Ryu…"
"Luna… what's wrong?"
"I want you to keep this a secret from the CEO."
"What?"
"Natsume… is not really married to Mikan. He's just… using her for show." Luna explained the situation to Ryu. This made Ryu shocked to know the situation between Mikan and Natsume.
"You have my word." He replied
"Thank you…"
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
"RING RING" the sound of Mikan's cell phone was heard. "Wait a minute. Wait a minute." Mikan said as she picked up her cell phone and answered it.
"Moshi moshi. Eh? Ryu. What's wrong?"
"Can I see you tonight?" Ryu asked.
"Tonight? Yeah, why?" Mikan asked.
"I want to talk to you with an important matter." When Mikan heard this, the first thing she thought was; "I am interested in you."
"Um, Ryu."
"Yeah"
"Is it about something I'm involved in? What I mean is… does it involve me and you?"
"No. It involves about you and Natsume."
"Oh. Okay. It's fine with me. As long as that rat would allow me, I may be free tonight."
"What do you mean?" Ryu asked as Mikan realized something.
"Um… I'm sorry. I… use personification more than mentioning the person's name. Like… I can call you… um… monkey!"
"What?"
"Well… Natsume calls me poultry and I believe you're familiar with that, right?" Mikan asked as Ryu replied a yes. "Then, I call Natsume a rat, and sooner or later, I'll call you monkey. Do you know what I mean?"
Then, Ryu laughed. "Is that so? Then, see you later." Ryu said as he had a smile on his face.
"Yeah. Later." Mikan said as she turned off her cell phone. Then, she reacted. "Oh! That was the worst excuse ever! Now I have to call him monkey!" she said as she hit her head a lot of times.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Ryu was waiting at a bench between a park and a bay. While he looked at his watch, he noticed the brunette coming from his right. He turned her head, and saw her. He smiled as she smiled. Then, he stood up to greet her.
"I'm sorry to drag you here." Ryu apologized.
"No, no. It's okay. Actually, I owe you a lot since you're the one who'll help me make my story a movie. I'll do anything for that person." Mikan replied with a smile.
"Is that so?" Ryu asked
"Yes, of course. Oh yeah, you said that there was an important matter. What about me and Natsume?" Mikan asked.
"You see… about that, some people are already aware of this situation."
"What do you mean?"
"About you being the greatest actress anyone has ever seen. Mikan, is your relationship with Natsume… fake?" Ryu asked as Mikan's smile disappeared. Mikan began to panic that time.
"What are you talking about? I don't know anything about what you're saying." Mikan answered as she turned her face away from Ryu.
"Don't try to lie to me. Luna explained to me about this situation."
"What?"
"I already know about this. Just don't let it spread. Natsume's and your career will be affected."
"I'm aware of that." Mikan replied as she looked at Ryu. "Um, Ryu"
"Yeah"
"About what you said to me before; you told me that you were interested in me. Are you serious?"
"I am serious." Ryu replied as Mikan showed a sad face. "Why? Is there something wrong?"
"No… it's that… I-," before Mikan was able to say something, Ryu cut her.
"Since you're not really in a relationship with Natsume… can you… fall in love with me?"
"What?"
"A lot of girls really like me… they say that I'm their type… but I turned them down. But… why can't you fall in love with me?" Ryu asked as Mikan became speechless. "Sakura Mikan… please… fall in love with me."
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
