When Hayato and Hotaru arrived, they saw Mikan there, crying at the lap of a certain woman. The woman has auburn-hair and hazel eyes, just like Mikan. They really are alike. Except for the fact that the hair of the woman was up to her chin. But nonetheless, she was a beauty. She looks like 20 years old.
"Mikan?" Hayato said as he entered the room.
Mikan wiped her tears and walked towards them, "You're here. Come in."
"Why didn't you tell us you were in the hospital? We were worried." Hotaru said. Concern was written all over her face.
"I'm sorry Hota-chan. But aside that, I want you to meet my mother. Yuka Sakura."
The woman stood up and smiled at Mikan's friends. "Hello. I am her mother. Pleased to meet you."
Hayato and Hotaru introduced themselves to her. When everyone was settled down, Mikan told the two about her story,
"Mom abandoned me because she doesn't want me to be associated with the alice academy. She and dad left me to grandpa who took care of me. They didn't expect I will be discovered by the academy. Through the years, they were wandering. They got involved in the war between the Academy and AAO and now, they were separated. Dad joined AAO. As for mom, when they found out I'm here, she decided to join the academy. And in a matter of time, AAO will attack us."
"How did you know?" Hayato asked.
Mikan smiled and said, "I have sources...and so does my mom."
Yuka nodded and smiled. But slowly, it turned to a frown and then, she started to cry.
"Why Mrs. Sakura?" Hotaru asked.
"Mikan might be able to hide her feelings, but I can't. I cannot believe she needs to go in one and a half months time."
"What does she mean?" Hotaru asked glancing at Mikan and Hayato.
Mikan started to cry, "I'm sorry Hota-chan. I didn't tell you because if I did, I don't think if I can still smile the way I used to."
"Imai, Mikan, she'll-she will. . ." Hayato started to say.
Hotaru's eyes widened, she demanded, "She will what Hayato?"
"She will die in one and a half months time. She is sick, at heart."
Hotaru broke down, "Stop joking. You know I hate jokes."
"Hota-chan, I'm really sorry. I was confused when I heard about it first, but I accepted it. I accepted fate. I don't like to die and leave everyone, but I can't do anything about it." Mikan said, her voice was shaking.
"Mikan. . .I never thought." Hotaru said and hugged her bestfriend.
They just stood there, crying. Unknown to all of them, Kaede overheard the conversation. And after hearing it, she smiled.
'What a way to get rid of that girl. Now, Natsume will be mine, all mine.'
After lunch, Mikan was finally discharged of the hospital. She went straight to the classroom along with Hayato and Hotaru. Meanwhile, Natsume decided to look for Kaede to tell him who he really loves. He was walking around the school grounds. Then he finally saw her coming out of the cafeteria.
"Kaede!" he called.
Kaede ran towards him with a smile plastered on her face,
"Natsume! Where you by any chance looking for me?" she asked.
Natsume nodded, a very wide smile crept up on Kaede's face.
"Kaede, I was glad you came in my life because, I realized a few things."
"Me too."
"I never wanted to hurt you right from the start, but I want to tell you something."
"What is it?" she asked. She wanted to hear him say I love you to her.
"Let's break up."
Kaede couldn't believe what she heard. She shook her head.
"No, Natsume what are you saying? No, I don't approve of it." she shouted. Her hands were covering her ears.
"Kaede! I told you there are no replacements for someone in anyone's heart. You can't replace her so, lets break up."
"You broke up with me because of Mikan?"
Natsume nodded, "I'm sorry. I love her so much and I can't take her out of my mind. She completes me. I love Mikan. I love her that I'm afraid to lose her again. I lost her once and now, I can't take it if she goes away."
'Did that Mikan tell her about her dying? I'll deal with her later, but for now, I must act all sad.' Kaede thought. Then she said,
"N-Na-Natsume, then why did you go out with me in the first place?"
"To tell you the truth, I really don't know why I said yes to you that day. I'm really sorry." (Ouchie..but, it serves Kaede right!!)
"I hate you! You're so cruel. Why did you do this to me?After all I've done just to-"
"What?"
"Nothing. I really hate you! I really hate you Natsume!" Kaede shouted and ran.
Natsume ran after her which she didn't notice. Kaede ran towards the classroom. As she went in, she immediately spotted Mikan and slapped her. Unknown to Kaede, Natsume saw this and was about to go inside the door when he decided to just watch and hear what she had to say.
"You bitch! It was your fault! Natsume broke up with me because of you!" Kaede shouted.
The classroom, which was once filled with laughter and noise, was now filled with silence. Everyone looked at the commotion Kaede caused.
"What did I do?" Mikan asked. One of her hands holding her reddened cheek.
"You, it was because of you thats why Natsume broke up with me." Kaede said, breaking into tears.
Mikan was shocked, "he-he br-broke up with you?"
"Yes. And its your fault! Maybe you told him about you dying thats why he broke up with me!"
Everyone gasped except for Hotaru and Hayato. Sumire even shouted, "What the hell is this girl saying?"
After a few more questions, Mikan held her hand up to stop everyone from speaking. Then she finally said,
"I'm sorry I never told anyone. I'm going to die. . .in one and a half month's time. I really didn't know what to do when I found out about it. So I accepted it. I accepted the fact that I'm dying. I never wanted anyone to feel pity for me and treat me differently, that's why I never spoke about it."
Mikan broke into tears. And so did every girl in the class. The boys just bowed their heads. As for Natsume, his eyes were widened. He didn't know how to react. He didn't know what to do.
Kaede smirked, "Stop acting all goody-goody. I know you planned this. You planned on taking him away!"
"Kaede, what the hell are you talking about?" Hayato asked, he sound pissed.
"Tch. Don't pretend to know nothing! I know everyone is plotting against me. Plotting that me and him break up!"
"No one was plotting anything!" Mikan shouted, defending everyone.
"Shut up! All of you, especially you Mikan. I don't care if you are gonna die in one month and a half's time. I don't care! I want you to disappear from this world immediately. I want you to be gone forever!" Kaede shouted. The class gasped as they heard her words.
"Kaede, why did you start acting like this? What's happening to you?" Mikan said.
"Well, its the fact that my Natsume broke up with me because of you! You stupid jerk! I really hate you!" Kaede shouted.
"Kaede. . .Natsume never knew anything."
Then, Natsume came in."N-Natsume!" Mikan exclaimed.
Natsume immediately walked towards Mikan. Then he faced Kaede, "She's right. I never knew about it. You just told me so yourself. Baka."
"Natsume, don't tell me, you didn't know about it? You really didn't?" Kaede asked as she took a step backward.
"Of course I didn't knew. What a baka you are. I broke up with you because I realized I NEVER loved you." (Woah! Go Natsume!)
"What? That can't be. After everything that I've done! After everything I did, after being Kaede to get near you guys! After plotting everything with my friends, the plan was almost perfect especially when that girl disappeared-" Kaede shouted. Then as she realized the words she just said, she cupped one of her hands on her mouth.
'Why did those words slip out of my mouth?' she yelled at herself."What are you talking about?" Mikan asked. Her eyes hinting anger.
Natsume shouted, "Speak up! What plan?"
"I guess we need to spill up Ms. Kaede's secret now." Hotaru said suddenly.
All eyes were now focused on her. Kaede was sweating hard.
"What do you mean my secrets? I've got nothing to hide." Kaede said, fear was visible in her voice.
"Really? Then can we have the pleasure of speaking up for you?" Hayato asked sarcastically.
Kaede's eyes widened. Ruka, Koko, Sumire, Yuu, Anna and Nonoko came forward.
"We know everything about you. And when we mean everything, EVERYTHING" Sumire said.
Nonoko smirked, "I can't believe we were all played by you. And to think I've called you my friend."
"It was a shame. Everything was going smooth between us, as friends but when I found out about THAT. It changed." Anna said.
"What are you guys talking about?" Mikan asked. She was now holding on to Natsume's hand.
Ruka smiled, "We were looking after her every move for the past month."
"And we found some interesting details about her." Hayato said.
"Well, we found out that Kaede isn't really Kaede. She's Aiko Kinishima, 1-star. Has the alice of ice and float." Hotaru explained.
"She and her friends were a part of the Natsume fan club. Her face wasn't really like that. One of her friends transformed her face. And Mikan, remember when you first came here and when you were in central time, a girl wanted to kill you? It was her."
"You were that girl-who-attacked-me-before?" Mikan asked in disbelief.
Everyone stared at Kaede. . .er..uh.. Aiko.
"I am." she said. Suddenly, her face changed into a somehow. . .uglier girl.
"Why? Why did you do this?"
"I guess. . .I can't get out of this? I was jealous of Mikan. She was always with Natsume-sama so we wanted to break them up. I was the one assigned. It was just pure luck that Natsume-sama said yes to my confession. I was really happy. But when Mikan came back, I...I..."
The class turned to Sumire. She was after all the president of then NatsumexRuka fan club. Then Sumire said,
"I never knew of such things. Trust me. And I promise that I will deal with those underhanded bitches later. They will pay for what they did."
"Pathetic. I really hate people using and doing such underhanded stuff." Mikan said. She switched to cold mode.
"Mi-Mikan?"
"I told you before right? Not to do things like that again. but you did. I really am disgusted."
"I'm really sorry."
"You think thats enough? If it wasn't for you. . .I might still live for another year! If it wasn't for the heart ache you caused me, my sickness wouldn't have been triggered! But, if it wasn't for you, I might still not discover my feelings for Natsume. And if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have met my mother. Thank you." Mikan said. Her eyes filled with concern.
Aiko stared into her eyes and broke down.
"I'm really sorry! Despite all the things I did, why did you say thank you? Why? Why don't you hate me Mikan?" Aiko shouted.
Mikan just smiled at her, "Sometimes Aiko, people do bad things to acquire what they want and sometimes, we can't blame them for that. It was greed and envy that made them do that. It was in our nature. Some tend to fight it but some just get carried away."
"I'm really sorry."
Natsume smirked, "And to believe I even went out with you underhanded fool. It makes me sick."
Mikan went to the door but before she left, she said, "I'm going to the Sakura Tree, please don't punish her severely that it might cause brain damage. We wouldn't want that do we?" Then she left, with an evil and cold smile plastered on her face.
The class looked at Aiko, who was now on the ground, crying her eyes out. Hotaru's eyes shined as she fixed her Baka gun.
Then she said, "Mikan just told us not to punish her severely but she didn't say not to punish her right?"
Hayato's smile widened, "Yeah. That's what I heard."
The class turned to her, with a evil grin on their faces. Even Natsume. Hotaru's baka gun. Ruka's animals. Natsume's fire. And the class' rage and fury. Then you can just use your imagination and think of HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE punishments they could give. And to top everything. . .Mikan's mother came. And she gave the worst punishment ever.
After punishing Aiko, Natsume searched for Mikan. He went to the Sakura tree and found her sitting there, crying. He had the urge to hug her. And he did. Mikan cried in his chest.
"Natsume. . .I couldn't take it anymore. Now, everyone knows. I wasn't planning to tell them right now. I need time but she spilled it! Now, I feel when I face them, I can't smile like I used to." Mikan said.
Natsume hugged her tighter, "You can do it. You can face all your problems. Trust me."
"Why Natsume? Why did you say so. . .?"
"Because you have me beside you. I won't leave you. You can come to me and cry. You and I can solve your problems. You and I will face everthing. You and I, together."
Mikan stopped crying but then, her tears started to flow again.
'Did he just say that? Is this really the Natsume I met before?' she thought.
Suddenly, Natsume said something that made Mikan's heart leap.
"And I'm sorry if what I will say is kinda late. I love you Mikan. I love you so much."
That's the end! I'm really sorry for the late update. I was busy these days and I wasn't able to use the computer because my brother was always using it. When I say always, ALWAYS. I'm really sorry! Nakakaasar na nga siya e. As in! He is really really driving me crazy!! Waaahh!!
