In Denial

BOOM!

Revolts were a normal occurrence in the Academy, students who were sick of being trapped inside the school felt it a need for freedom…

CRASH!

Birds, which were perched on trees, flew away, in fear of the upcoming entity…

CRACK!

Kent, the new guard who was hired for the job, stood up from the chair and readied himself. He was told that in the Academy, things like these were of normal occurrence. Pulling out his gun, he aimed it towards the sound which seemed to be heading his direction. Kent was guarding the double doors of the High School dormitory, it was already night time.

Kent trembled as the sound came nearer, imagining slits for eyes and a snake-like body, he readied himself for the famed yell of 'AVADA KEDAVRA!' which would lead to his imperil.

It was getting closer… he couldn't see because of the thick fog… Why today? He thought to himself. Breathe, Kent, breathe… in… out…

In a shaky hand, he almost pulled the trigger when the cause yelled a name…

"RUKA!"

… instead of Lord Voldemort, a 16 year old girl walked- no, stomped on the ground, edging closer to him.

The poor guard could only stare at her, mouth agape. She entered the dormitory and banged the doors shut. Kent, in a state of shock, walked like a zombie towards the Administration Building. While inside, he took a piece of paper and in a trembling hand wrote, 'I, your newly hired security guard, am resigning due to bravery and steroids…'

- - - - - -

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"

Mikan nodded, as if finding Ruka's sudden outburst perfectly appropriate for the current situation.

"I know…"

She groaned and jumped on Ruka's bed, face down. The animal-lover could only gape at her.

"He… he… did what?"

"Do I have to repeat myself, Ruka?! He saved me. He fu-#$-ing saved my bl-#$-dy life. The bastard! He- He isn't supposed to do something like that, after he almost put me in a life sentence because he accused me for hacking the security system of the White House!"

Ruka couldn't believe it. All he needed was a giant tank and that would complete the picture of a gaping goldfish, which is what he was looking like right now.

"I don't… I can't… GIVE ME TIME TO THINK, WOMAN!"

"Whoa. Looks like somebody's taking this much more drastically than I am."

"No way! What he did was unbelievable! Especially to you! I mean… look, there was this girl when I we were still in the sixth grade who annoyed Natsume like hell and you know what he did to her?"

Ruka paused, as if for effect, and Mikan unconsciously raised an eyebrow. The suspense is killing me. Please, do go on.

"He made a website about her. And it was a hit. You know how famous the websites Youtube and Fanfiction are? That's how well-known it was here in Japan. It embarrassed the hell out of her!"

Whoa.

"For freaking sake, she almost committed suicide! And… he just… saved you… he… increased your life span, gave you another chance in life to actually do something useful like… like… murder all the frogs in the world!"

Mikan's eyebrow practically disappeared behind her hairline.

"Why would I do something as stupid as that?"

"I thought that was your revenge plan for Jin- ARGH! Don't change the topic! My point is: Hyuuga has CHANGED! Where is the press when you actually need them!?"

"Ruka, you're exaggerating this little incident."

Ruka let out a long and tiring sigh.

"Never mind. Anyway, how's your ankle doing?"

"Oh, this little sprain?"

She sat up and showed Ruka the bandages that surrounded her right foot.

"Duh. I can obviously walk."

"Good. 'Yawn' Anyway, Mikan, you should probably go to your own dorm and sleep, you have rehearsals tomorrow."

She stood up and put on her shoes, before saying good bye to Ruka. After closing the door, Mikan leaned on it for support and winced.

She couldn't believe how well she could hide her pain. She had jumped on Ruka's bed, without wincing or showing a grimace of pain. Mikan had insisted the school nurse to let her go early, and even had to pull out an act. She hated hospitals and did her best to stay away from it as much as possible.

Standing up, she limped on her way to the double doors and composed herself. When she walked out, she walked normally, ignoring the stabs of pain every time she exerted pressure on her foot.

On her 18th step, the pain tripled, making Mikan kneel from the sudden stab. She let out a small cry of pain. Knowing fully well that she was close to her dorm, she stood up and decided to limp instead.

Every step was painful. When she finally reached her dorm, she proceeded to her room. Once inside, she limped towards her bed and instantly fell asleep.

"NO, NO, NO! TSUBASA, DO THIS RIGHT OR I WILL GIVE YOU ONE BOXFULL OF FROGS FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY GIFT!"

Snickers were heard, which were unknown by the shouting sensei. Tsubasa gulped and gave a tentative nod before wiping the sweat that threatened to fall from his head.

"Ooh, I'd love that. Can you give me that kind of gift too, Narumi-San?"

Contradicting Tsubasa's opinion, Jinno was quite enthusiastic about what Narumi just yelled about.

"Let's do this one more time. Don't mess this up, Tsubasa."

It was a day after the accident. Although, the huge dent on the stage's floor was still quite visible. Everyone still decided to practice there but decided to take precautionary measures. Like, scream when you see a cockroach or something like that.

Tsubasa nodded, and faced the two standing figures before him.

"Do you, Demitri Dohemian, take this lovely lady to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sick –"

BRIIIIING!

Saved by the bell.

Mikan breathed a sigh of relief and winced slightly.

"Alright, everyone! Come back at 1!"

Everyone dashed for the entrance. This is usually what Mikan would do, but, seeing that she is in no condition to do so… bah! Go figure.

Mikan and Natsume were still on the stage. After everyone left, Natsume jumped off and started to walk towards the Exit. Everyone were idiots, really. What would be the use of an Exit, if you go out by the Entrance? Stoe – pid.

Seeing Natsume walk away, she sat down on the floor and massaged her right ankle. She was positive that he wouldn't look back, so she needn't bother in hiding the pained expression on her face.

She hated hospitals. She hated clinics and everything related to these things. She thought hospitals were places of death and when she's inside one, she feels like… one of… them. You know, the Crypt Keepers.

Touching the handle, Natsume was about to yank the doors open when he heard a small 'ouch'.

Turning his head, he saw Mikan Sakura kneeling on the floor, halfway through the red carpet which divided the chairs, leading to the exit. She cursed when Natsume saw her, afraid to hear what he thought.

Natsume rolled his eyes. He walked coolly towards her, and Mikan glaring at him with full force.

Once he reached her, Natsume kneeled down, so that he was in eye level. He pointed a finger at her forehead, pushed it slightly before…

… Calling her an idiot.

God, I thought he was going to confess or something.

"Sprains heal for at least three days, baka."

Mikan bowed her head. She knew that he saved her, and she still had not said her thanks.

Natsume sighed before grabbing her by the waist, and heaving her, carrying her bridal style.

"Wha – What are you doing!?"

"You don't want that sprain to worsen, trust me."

That wasn't what she was worried about... But the fact that something inside of her... stirred.

I am so freaking sorry!

I absolutely abhor mush, so this chapter developed really, really, really slowly. And…

School is harder than I thought. Hehe…
