Chapter 13: Mikan's Mine, so Back Off
Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice. It belongs to someone else!
"Why, why, why, why, why? What did I do wrong? What did I do to make Ryu like me? Even up to now, I can't focus on my novel! Why would a rich, cute guy like him like a pathetic loser like me? Natsume calls me that because he means it, so why, why, oh why?!" An exaggerating Mikan was found; she covered her head with a pillow as she screamed until she can't scream no more.
The sleeping man woke up after hearing the woman's scream downstairs. Annoyed by this, he stands up and went downstairs to complain.
"What was all the noise about?!" he shouted as he saw the brunette, serving his breakfast with pancakes and some bacon. He knew something happened, but there's something fishy going on here.
"Hey, poultry" he called her.
"Yeah" she replied
"Were you the one screaming a while ago?" Natsume asked her as Mikan replied. "Me? Screaming? If I did scream, my voice would be hoarse." He doubted it, since her voice a bit hoarse this morning.
"Listen you poultry; don't make your screams a hobby because I didn't hire a chicken to wake me up in this house. If you want to wake me up in the morning, don't. Maybe I'll consider your cock-a-doodle-doos."
"I already told you; I wasn't screaming. I was releasing my anger through loud words."
"In English, you mean screaming?"
"It's called exaggerating."
"Fine, fine… but it's also your way of saying "I'm screaming because I have a problem"."
"It is!"
"Then what's your problem?!"
"Ryu confessed his feelings towards me!"
After Mikan's reply, the room was filled with silence for a moment. The wind entered through the windows as it moved the two's hair. They stare at each other for a while, and then Natsume began to laugh. Mikan was asking why Natsume's laughing after.
"Why are you laughing?"
"You and Ryu?" Natsume asked as he continued to laugh. "Seriously? Ryu admitted his feelings for you? Then he must be nuts. I mean, who likes a chicken like you?"
"Hey!"
"So, what did you say? Did you reject your one and only chance?"
"Hey! I had dozens of boyfriends until I met you. You're really bad luck eh?" Mikan replied. "Anyways… I accepted it."
Natsume's eyes widened by the time he heard her. "What?"
"What?" Hikaru exclaimed
"What?!" Anna and Nonoko exclaimed.
"Yeah… Ryu confessed to me and now, I think I regret the day I told him that I'll be doing my best to love him back." Mikan replied.
"But it's not a problem, right?" Anna asked.
"Yes it is! Mikan is having feelings towards Natsume so it's really bad!" Nonoko replied.
"Wait, what are you talking about? I don't have any feelings towards that cold, insensitive guy. I'd rather die than spend another minute with him." Mikan said.
"Hello? Um, may I speak to Ms. Mikan Sakura? I think she doesn't know that this is the 21st century." Anna replied
"What?" Mikan asked.
"It's possible for two people to fall in love when they live in one house. Love is blind; love is in the air. But with your issues, I think the pollution has blocked the sweet scent of love." Nonoko answered.
"What we mean Mikan is to be true to your heart. Try being honest with yourself on who you love. It's not like we're here to listen to your issues forever." Anna said.
"Yeah; you need to be independent like your sister Hikaru! By the way, can I have her autograph?" Nonoko asked.
"What? Wait, we're not talking about my sister's fame in France. We're talking about my love issues." Mikan said.
"Well, try finding it out yourself." Nonoko replied.
"You know, we're girls, humans. We're not miracle workers or your guidance counselor. If you want therapy, pay it with your 500, 000 yen. Good day!" Anna answered as she hanged up the phone.
"Such insensitive people!" Mikan said as she dialed Hikaru's cell phone number on her phone. Hikaru answered it. "Hello"
"Hikaru! I need your advice!" Mikan exclaimed.
"Sorry, onee-chan. Anna and Nonoko warned me about your issues. They said that they also wanted my autograph." Hikaru replied
"Look, Hikaru-Chan. I am going to reveal your secret to the press in France that you once farted in a French guy's birthday party that made all the guests collapse, unless you talk with me!" Mikan said.
"Gasps! I told you that because I trust you! Anyways, who'll believe a Japanese girl like you? You don't speak French, France doesn't know I have a sister and oh yeah! French people aren't those people who believe easily. So, you're worthless.'
"Don't forget I studied with you in Harvard, we both went to France and a picture of us together was published and I can tell your secret to the press!"
"You really have issues! Do whatever you want! I don't want to talk about your life. I have my own life too, big sister! You're not the only one who has problems here. Thinking like the world's problems is on the weight of your shoulders; just scream it out loud if you feel the pain! Or go to therapy! You make 500, 000 yen there. Make a reservation!!" Hikaru exclaimed as she hanged up the phone.
"She totally hanged up on me." Mikan said as she gave a deep sigh. "I guess I better go to therapy! Wait… is there any reservations?"
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
"That Baka…" Natsume said as he sees his house messed up. "She didn't clean the whole house."
And then, he found Mikan, coming downstairs. He called; "Oi, clean this up already… if Youichi sees this, he might get discouraged so clean this mess."
"The maids are there; why don't you call them to clean up this mess? By the way, I'm going to submit my novel to Ryu. I'm very busy today." Mikan replied as she went to the door.
"Wait" he called
"What?"
"You… you… you want to…"
"Go"
"To… to…"
"The movies?"
"Yeah… you… want to go?"
"Gee… this is the first time you asked me on a date."
"It's not a date… I… I… feel bored in this house. I want to go out and do something like… eat, watch, buy or something. And it's nothing if you share it on your own so… you… want… to… go?" Natsume asked as Mikan hesitated for a moment. She thought about it carefully, and made a decision.
"Alright; since you wanted to go to the movies, I'll be coming with you…"
"Really?"
"But… I have something important to do tomorrow so how about the other day?"
"The other day? Why the other day?"
"I already told you that I have something to do. So shut up your noisy mouth because it's like rat noise from the basement!" Mikan exclaimed as she opened the door.
"Well, at least I don't scream in the morning like what chickens do."
"Fine… but I won't come with you tomorrow!"
"Whatever; I'll be expecting you. 1:00 PM. I'll be meeting you at the big clock at the Shangri-La."
"Wait and wait but I won't be going! Later, you ratatouille!" Mikan ended the conversation as she slammed the door.
"Whatever… I'll be waiting for you Mikan."
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
"Mr. Yamada, it's so nice to meet you once again." Mikan said as she handed the documents. "Here's another chapter of my story. Again, my best regards."
"You seem to be polite today. Why is that?" Ryu asked Mikan while he walked away serve Mikan a cup of coffee.
"Oh. It's because Natsume asked me on a date for tomorrow, but I said that I had something very important to do that I just can't leave it." When Ryu heard those words, his body froze without Mikan noticing. Does this mean Natsume has feelings for Mikan?
"Anyways, at least Natsume invited you on a date." Ryu replied as he puts down the coffee, and sits along with Mikan.
"Actually, he doesn't consider it a date. He says it's only a hang-out because he wanted to go outside sometimes. He's not used to his big, lonely house." Mikan answered Ryu.
"By the way, I can still remember his last date." Ryu said.
"Really? Who's the girl?" Mikan asked while she munched on some pastries.
Ryu gave a sigh, and then answered Mikan. "It was Maya."
Mikan forgot to chew that time. She began to realize something as Ryu continued. "Actually, that date was really tragic since I heard that Maya and Natsume fought and decided to have a divorce. And then, fire began to spring out from nowhere. As Maya's last request to Natsume, she said to save their only son Youichi. But Maya was left there, alone with no one rescuing her. She burned into ashes…"
"I see." Mikan said as she showed a dismayed face.
"What a tragic love story. Maybe Natsume became this cold since he thinks that Maya hasn't forgave him yet, or maybe he's still depressed because he still loved her even though Maya decided to file a divorce. I don't know the fact about Youichi though… but why does he think that you're his mommy when he knows that his mother is dead?"
"What?" Mikan asked, because she was too distracted. She just realized that Natsume was really sad
"Nothing. It's just that Natsume never smiled his entire life until he met you…" when Ryu said this, Mikan's eyes widened. "Even though he frowns on the outside, I know that he's laughing inside. You might be the next Mrs. Hyuuga."
"What?!"
"I was kidding." Ryu replied as Mikan got relieved. "Of course, I won't let Natsume steal you. Though I may be the bad guy here, I don't care. I just haven't felt this way before, and the first time I saw you, you remind me of how wonderful life is; that you know that you can find hope and joy in little things. You're really an angel, Mikan."
Mikan blushed after Ryu flirted with her. She continues to blush after.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
While walking, Mikan thought of Natsume's situation.
"Actually, that date was really tragic since I heard that Maya and Natsume fought and decided to have a divorce."
"What a tragic love story. Maybe Natsume became this cold since he thinks that Maya hasn't forgiven him yet, or maybe he's still depressed because he wasn't able to say goodbye."
"It's just that Natsume never smiled his entire life until he met you."
"What a poor guy. He was so lonely after 2 years… where was I 2 years ago? If what happened now happened two years ago, I wouldn't suffer the pain I'm suffering now, and maybe I can get married someday to someone besides that damned Hyuuga. But come to think of it… eh! What the heck? Tomorrow is an important day." Mikan thought.
The next morning, while Natsume was sleeping, Mikan opened the curtains and said good morning to the sleepyhead Natsume. Natsume closed his eyes tighter so the light won't reach his eyes. But Mikan took off his blanket. Natsume opened his eyes and decided to talk to Mikan.
"Hey! Why are you waking me up on a Sunday morning? The hang-out's later so put me to sleep." Natsume said.
"I just thought you were lonely so I decided that maybe we should make breakfast together!" Mikan replied.
"Breakfast? Together? I'm sleepy so please let me sleep."
"Come on Natsume. You won't get any eye bugs just by helping me make breakfast."
"But I will get better and won't get cranky when I get some more sleep."
"Fine… go sleep. When you wake up, I'll be gone. And I won't come to the hang-out."
"It's your decision. Now, will you please give me and my bed some privacy?"
"Whatever…" Mikan replied as she closed the door.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
It was eleven o'clock AM, and Natsume finally woke up. He stretched for a bit, until he remembered what Mikan said.
"Fine… go sleep. When you wake up, I'll be gone. And I won't come to the hang-out." He thought.
"She really meant it." Natsume said to himself as he went downstairs to eat some breakfast. He went to the table, and the food that she served were blueberry pancakes with a smiley face on top with triangle-sliced hotdogs surrounding the pancake, making it look like the sun. There was also an orange fruit at the side, and milk for the beverage.
Natsume thought it was ridiculous. He turned around to get something from the kitchen when he saw a note.
"If I won't be able to come, don't wait!" it said. "Mikan, your poultry."
"So, she accepts that she's a real chicken." Natsume said to himself as he got himself a pair of spoon and fork and ate his breakfast.
He did go there… to wait for Mikan and "hang-out" with him. Unfortunately, hours passed and he needed to hide from crowds especially from girls. At least he survived. And then, little drops of rain fell from the sky. And still, he wanted to stay… until he can't take it anymore.
He decided to call Mikan, but all he heard was a busy tone. Then, he became furious that he called Ryu…
"Hello"
"Ryu, is Mikan with you?"
"No. Why is that?"
"Nothing really. Later." He said. "Oh yeah, Ryu. I just wanted to tell you that… I will not let go of Mikan." And then, he hanged up.
Ryu smiled for a moment, and then went back to his job.
Then, he had no other choice but to contact Anna and Nonoko.
"Hello" Anna answered.
"Hello. Is Mikan with you?" Natsume asked.
"No, why?" Anna asked.
"I think she's still in the cemetery." Nonoko joined in.
"What? Cemetery?" Natsume asked.
"She didn't tell you?" Anna asked.
"Tell me what?" Natsume asked again.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Mikan was at the cemetery after all. She was holding a bouquet of flowers, and put them on the ground, in front of the headstone. She was mourning afterwards.
"I guess you're not here to witness my success. How unlucky! It's like fate planned me and Natsume to be together." Mikan said.
And it was written;
RIP
Here
lies Andou
Tsubasa
who was born on the 28th day of May, 1984
and died on the 28th
day of May, 2006.
And beside it was;
RIP
Here
lies Hyuuga
Maya
who was born on the 29th
day of February, 1987
and died on the 28th
day of May, 2006.
"Today, I mourn your deaths. And I know how much two people were hurt." Mikan said as she continues to pray. After a few minutes, she fixed her things, and headed back home.
End of Chapter
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Whoa! They died on the same day.
But Maya died at 12:00 am on the 28th day of May, and Tsubasa died about 11:00 AM on the 28th day of May
