Chapter 5 – She's Back
Ruka's POV:
I'm walking now to Natsume's room, I hadn't seen him since last night, he didn't ate dinner either, is he on mission last night? I wonder because its been a long time since he had his last mission, but I'm glad at least his not that tired anymore. I am also supposed to visit him last night if only my girlfriend Hotaru didn't blackmailed me. Darn, even though she's my girl now, she still blackmails me, a whole lot more! I realized I love her and given up Mikan when I saw how Natsume and her love each other so much.
I arrived outside his room and I knocked on his door. Hey the door is unlocked. It's a new. I entered and saw Natsume still sleeping in his pajamas, I see his black tuxedo and black cat mask on the nearby sofa. I guess he is really from mission. I was about to let him rest when he told me that he will come with me to class. I was shocked then I looked back at him, whose back is all I see. Then I came nearer, and saw him holding Mikan's picture! I guess he misses her terribly. I sat beside him on the bed. Not saying anything. I will wait for him to open up.
"Ruka, while I'm on my mission last night, I had a partner for the very first time, it's a girl, she's 16 just like us. I really think she is Mikan. I strongly feel it's her." Natsume said to me. At first I didn't understand it then it hit me.
"What?!" I asked him again.
He explained to me the whole event of his mission. Then somehow I understand his suspicions. I too think that it's Mikan too.
"Then is she back? Where is she right now I wonder?" I told him. Then he explained to me that's why he wants to come to class to ask for help in our class, which is our family to help him find our Mikan.
After he showered and put on his uniform, we went to class.
In Class B – Middle School
"Hey Sumire, I heard from teachers that we will have a new classmate this day." Koko said to Sumire.
"Really, I believe since Mikan came, she is the last person accepted in our family as Class B." Sumire confidently said to Koko. Then she looked at Hotaru who is busy making an invention to find communication with Mikan. "Hey Hotaru any luck in locating Mikan?" Sumire asked. Hotaru just shook her head in reply.
Sumire misses Mikan too, even her childish attitude. She also given up on Natsume when they saw them ran away together before, like eloping or something, she doesn't have a chance in Natsume's heart. She considered Mikan as her friend too.
Then the door opened revealing Natsume and Ruka. They were greeted by Mochu. They then went to their seats. Natsume read his manga while Ruka went to Hotaru to help her do her invention. Natsume planned to ask for their help after class.
After 20 minutes, Jinno came in. He announced that there will be a new student joining them but she is late. The class didn't bother listening to him. They are not interested at all. Natsume is still in deep thought about Mikan being in a mission and seducing men. Bad thoughts…tsk tsk.
While Jinno is lecturing, there is a loud screeching of tires heard in the class and they were all startled since they are not used to hearing cars in their normal days. They all went to the window including Jinno. And Natsume being a leader owns single window to himself. And he was shocked to see it is the Ferrari last night. Jinno then scolded them to return to their seats. Natsume was about to argue when there is a knock on the door. Jinno opened it and went outside. When Natsume looked back, the Ferrari is already turned off. It looks like he hadn't seen her walked outside of it. He really believes its his Mikan.
They all went back to their seats. They are gossiping who could that be. Having a car inside the academy? Natsume thought if they only knew that it is a student just like them. Jinno came back.
"Class B, I will let you now meet your new classmate or should I say someone you know is back. And as usual tardy. Let's welcome Miss Mikan Sakura." Jinno announced. The whole class was shocked to hear her name, and just in time, Mikan entered.
She is wearing her uniform neatly. She holds her backpack to one side. She wears high heeled boots. She wears a little make up and her hair is down which is up to her waist. She is wearing alice limiters such as earrings and bracelets on both of her hands.
"Hello everyone! I'm back!" She announced smiling brightly. She was then attacked by her Hotaru, Sumire, Anna, Nonoko, Koko, Mochu, Inchou and hugged her until she can't breathe anymore. Natsume is still shock to move from his spot. Ruka noticed this and hit him with his elbow to wake him up. Natsume looks so shocked!
"Will you all please sit down. I am not yet finish, those who I find not sitting in the count of 5 will be electrocuted!" Jinno scolded them. And they all hurried back to their seats. Then he continued. "Mikan here just finished her studies in Alice Academy in America. She is now a special star student. And for her partner I guess her old partner, Hyuuga." Jinno said then told her to return to her old seat which is still vacant beside Natsume.
Mikan walked to her seat and as she passed by Hotaru, she gave her a small box and smiled. Hotaru smiled back and whispered they will all catch up later. Hotaru opened the box and found a beautiful necklace with a locket of her picture and Mikan. Hotaru smiled back to Mikan. Mikan nodded and proceed to her seat beside Natsume. Natsume is still shock, and then he suddenly hugged Mikan very tightly as soon as she sat beside him. He whispered, "I miss you a lot." "Me too." Mikan replied then hugged him back. Mikan whispered to his ear. "Sorry about last night." Natsume was about to question her but was cut off by Jinno.
"Ehem, I'll be giving you homeworks so that you can have free time." Jinno said then he left. Jinno became a student pro the moment he understood the situation when Mikan ran away that time. As soon as the door was closed beside him, the class gathered around Ruka, Mikan and Natsume's table. Mikan is still in Natsume's tight embrace.
"Natsume you can let me go now." Mikan said as she pushed him away and blushing.
"No. I won't." Natsume then hug her tighter, earning a gasped from Mikan, he looked at her and released his hold, and noticed that she holds her chest.
"Sorry, it's my wound. Guys, I owe you all an explanation for my sudden disappearance and sudden return. So why won't we all go to my place right now and I will serve food then explain? We have free day right? And also I want to catch up with you guys!" She smiled as she asked them. Their gang all nodded and followed her downstairs. Natsume is still holding her hand. Natsume then knew that the girl last night is Mikan. They are going to have a long talk he said to his mind. Specially when it is her who is daring to be so seducing and wearing an outfit so sexy and driving recklessly? He'll make sure Mikan will hear it all.
When they arrived outside, all her friends started to walk into the direction of the girl's dormitory, when they were stopped by Mikan. "Guys, I don't live in the dormitory, Hotaru? Do you have any invention that the gang can ride? My car is only two seater." Mikan explained as she pointed to her car. Everybody was shocked to see that the cool Ferrari is owned by her and the one who is driving it earlier is Mikan! What happened to her in America? And she doesn't stay inside the dormitory? Is this some kind of a joke?
"Yes, I do have. Come on everyone. I believe Natsume will ride with you as he is so clingy?" Hotaru teased. Mikan blushed and nodded then went inside the car as Natsume also entered it. Mikan then drive off and Hotaru and the gang followed with Hotaru's invention.
Hotaru and the Gang
"Hotaru, I heard they already met last night, Natsume told me about his mission last night. And it includes that Ferrari." Ruka said to Hotaru, and the gang also heard him.
"Are you telling me that our innocent Mikan is doing missions?" Sumire then asked.
"I think so, and it looks like she does more than that, she is so special to even drive her own car, and not living inside the girl's dormitory?." Ruka said. The Gang knows that Mikan is wanted by the Academy but they don't know the real reason she left who only the trio with her before knows, the gang already knew her family background in the academy as explained by Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume the day she disappeared.
"Anyway let's hear it from her when we arrive there. I wonder if they are killing each other inside that car…" Anna said.
"Or is it Natsume raining her questions?" Nonoko added.
"Or is it Mikan babbling so much that Natsume's ears ache." Sumire guessed.
"You're wrong, I wonder if they are making out inside it." Mochu said. Of course he earned a lot of punches from the girls.
Inside the red Ferrari
"Natsume, I'm really sorry for my attitude last night, you see I'm wearing the cat mask limiter, if I feel very emotional and not focused on my mission, it sends pain in my chest so I have to act on mission mode last night. I hope you forgive me 'coz I really miss you that I want to hug you right now." Mikan explained as she drives slowly this time. Wanting to take her time alone with Natsume to talk.
"God, I missed you too. So much that you're going to pay for it not in Rabbits of course. So I want to ask a lot of questions especially about last night but I don't know where to start. But first I'm going to scold you for being a seducer last night and I can still remember that guy touched you thighs, darn, if I am sure that it is you last night, I would've interrupted you already." Natsume answered as he clenched his right fist then his left hand traveled to Mikan's hand which is holding the shift gear.
"I thought so that you will interrupt the mission if you knew it's me, its one reason I didn't tell you." Mikan said with a relief.
"You know, you owe me a lot, and the moment we all finish the talks, we're going to make up for all the 5 years you're not with me. Understood?" Natsume said threateningly.
"Yup, definitely. I'll make up for everything. I promise, we are now here in my villa so step down." Mikan said as she parked into her garage and turned the engine off.
Everyone's thoughts: IS THIS HOUSE HER HOME? IT'S A TWO-STOREY BUILDING WITH A GARAGE! ITS NEAR CENTRAL TOWN TOO, AND THE HOUSE LOOKS LIKE NEWLY BUILT! ITS COLOR IS ALL WHITE. LIKE AN AMERICAN HOUSE. YOU CAN GLIMPSE A SWIMMING POOL FROM THE SIDE AND ITS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE! IS MIKAN JOKING ABOUT HER HOUSE?! WHO IS SHE STAYING WITH?!
"Hey, I can read your thoughts, I opened the front door already so let's all come in, when we are all settled I will answer all of your questions." Mikan said as she led them into her sala, which is again huge, and she has a white piano! The house is warm and inviting for them. Her sala set is all white with pink pillows. She has fresh sunflowers in vases around the sala. The place is neat and tidy. They can see that there are three doors around the sala, maybe a living room, a room or something. They want to explore the place but its not their priority. They all sat on the sofa, Natsume sat on the Cleopatra's sofa, giving them glare that no one will dare to sit beside him. They all knew he wanted Mikan to sit beside him. Mikan went into the direction of the kitchen which is connected to the sala by an open glass sliding door. They can glimpse at the dining area, which is also huge if she lives alone in this house!
Mikan arrived with a tray of tea and cookies and she served them all in the coffee table. Anna and Nonoko helped her serve tea to everyone. Mikan served tea to Hotaru and Ruka who is seated to each other and she eyed the two suspiciously then served to Natsume and she took one for herself before sitting beside him. Anna served for Mochu, Koko and Inchou. Nonoko served Sumire, then held her tea as well as for Anna.
Then after sipping their tea, they all looked to Mikan's direction. Who is in turn still sipping her tea.
