Chapter 3: Tootsie and Baby
Lunch ended and class starts, every one went to their respective classes. Of course Hotaru and Mikan have the same classes except the dance class, but dance class is during Wednesday and Friday. Soon classes ended then its time to go home. Hotaru and Mikan walked together towards the parking lot. Hotaru drove her metallic blue vanquish home. When Mikan is about to open her driver's seat door…
"So its cafeteria girl's car… tsk tsk tsk! I should have known. Oh btw cafeteria girl how are you?" (Did you guess who it is? Well keep guessing if you didn't)
The person called Mikan cafeteria girl because of what happened earlier.
A hair stands at the back of Mikan's neck, a vein popped out of her forehead. She then slowly moved her head towards the owner of the voice.
"Well if it isn't the Mr. high and mighty snob! Why yes your majesty it is my car. And now you have the nerve to ask me how am I? Well, ill tell you!" Mikan said with sarcasm.
"I've been happy all morning till Mr. you and your seaweed haired girlfriend ruined not only my lunch but also the rest of my day!" She said angrily. "So if you'll excuse me your highness I will have to leave." She said angrily and sarcastically.
Mikan opened her door twist her key shifted her car into drive mode and stepped on her accelerator then zoom! Mikan drove off leaving Natsume dumbfounded on the same ground he's standing when they are still talking.
"She really is a strange girl" said Natsume while nodding his head. He start his car and drove off to his condo.
oO0Oo
It has been two months since that incident in SOTA, where she met Yuu, Anna and Nonoko, where she met her first and only enemy Sumire, and where she found her irritation Natsume Hyuuga. Two months has been a long time… well at least for Mikan. She can't wait for Christmas vacation. She is so tired of Natsume's teasing. He always cracks jokes about her whenever she is around. Well at least that's what she knows of. Who knows what he says whenever she's around. Oh well. For the past two months Natsume and Mikan grew fond of each other. Sometimes they fight, but sometimes they're ok… It is November 15 that day and its 4 days before Mikan's 17th birthday her parents planed to give her a grand but surprise birthday party which is to be celebrated in their enormous garden. They called Mikan's old friends back in Japan to attend her surprise party. They told Hotaru to tell every Mikan's friend in school to attend too but they shouldn't tell Mikan or else the party will be spoiled.
Its 7am Mikan is still sleeping until a very familiar voice woke her up. (Ah who could that be??) Mikan thought she was dreaming until...
"Mikan… baby… wake up… hey Mikan…" the familiar voice said while gently tapping her to wake her up.
"Uuuupphhh, ice cream… lollipop… cartoons… hhoooowaaaaallllloooooonnnnnnn!!... uuupphhh!" Mikan mumbled her eyes are still close. That means she is still sleeping.
"Ahahhahahah! What Mikan! Until now you sleep talk? Ahahahh! Wake up Mikan." the voice said while laughing.
"Uuuggghhhh" Mikan replied while her eyes are still closed. Well it actually means she doesn't want to wake up.
"Well, fine then. You don't want to wake up huh. There is only one way to wake you up." The voice said. Then he started tickling Mikan till she woke up.
Mikan sat up grumpily rubbed her eyes and try to see who the person that woke her up.
"What the hell…" Mikan didn't finish her sentence when she saw the person responsible for waking her up. Her eyes widened when she saw the person in front of her is……
"You still haven't changed baby… still bad tempered as usual. You should work on that though." The voice said.
"Tsakaki what in the name of hot fudge are you doing here!?" Mikan shockingly said.
"Is that how you treat your visitor baby?" the Tsakaki replied chuckling
"I'm sorry. I'm just a little surprised." Mikan bowed her head for an apology.
"It has been 12 years and that's how you would react? Aren't you at least happy to see me?" Tsakaki said.
"Oh I almost forgot… Tooooottsssssiieeeeee" Mikan shouted while running towards Tsakaki. She jumped at him hugging him tightly. Then slowly one by one, Mikan's tears starts to fall from her rosy cheeks.
"Baby don't cry" Tsakaki said while wiping Mikan's tears. "Are you not happy that the great Tsakaki is here?" He said jokingly to make Mikan feel better.
"It's not because I'm sad. It's because I really missed you Tsakaki! You only call me twice a week!" Mikan said while releasing Tsakaki from her life sucking hug.
"I've missed you too baby, but I can't do anything coz we are busy in our word tour. The band is in the peak of its popularity now so we have more concerns to attend to." Tsakaki explained. "And besides I took a week off to be here to visit my one and only baby." He added.
"Oh Tsakaki you haven't change a bit. You're still irritating. Like that Natsume Hyuuga from my school." Mikan said with irritation.
"Who in pigs name is Natsume Hyuuga!? Don't tell me…" Tsakaki said with the hint of jealousy and anger in his voice.
"Correct! He's a pig. Annoying pig to be exact he annoys me all the time and keeps on irritating me too ugh if only I could roast him. Chop him into tiny million pieces. But it's ok now. Tootsie's here. If I roast him we'll eat him together" She said smiling with an evil glint in her eyes.
"Ah ok I thought you like him or something." Tsakaki said. He looked at his clock and… "Bloody cow you need to change hurry you will be late for school." Tsakaki told her.
"Ahhhhhh oh curse all the clocks for ticking so fast!" Mikan shouted while running to her bathroom and change.
"Ill wait downstairs" Tsakaki chuckled while going out of Mikan's room. "She is still the Mikan I know. She didn't change. My Mikan, my baby" He thought.
oO0Oo
School grounds
"Where is that idiot? She's always late but not this late! She didn't even bother calling me. Is she sick or something?! Ill be whacking her with my newly bought umbrella later when she arrives." Hotaru thought. She's walking alone in the hall ways going to her next class.
"Hm Why is she alone today? Where is polkadots? Well I really haven't seen her this morning too. Maybe she's sick? Damn why do I care anyway. Shoo! Shoo! Go away thoughts!" Natsume thought. Ruka is beside him thinking the same thing Natsume is thinking.
Silence engulfs the two heartthrob atmosphere for they are thinking the same thing. They are thinking about a girl with long auburn hair, tantalizing chocolate orbs and have the body that no man could resist. The two are in their own little worlds. It hadn't been a while till someone pulled them back to earth. Koko came to the rescue.
"Hey you two stop spacing out! Earth to Natsume and Ruka! Earth to Natsume and Ruka! Come back to earth immediately! An alien is coming your way." Koko said while imitating astronauts. (The alien he is referring is their history professor Jinno.)
"Where, when?" Ruka asked. He then looked at his clocked then. "Oh shit! Were late! Nobody is in the hallway we're going to get detention if he sees us." Ruka said while in panic.
"He is just worrying you! So stop your fretting Ruka." Natsume said after whacking Koko with his rolled manga.
"Ouch! Natsume that hurts you know. I just did it coz I saw you two spacing out. I know it would be the perfect way to get you out into your own little world." Koko explained while wincing in pain from Natsume's whacking.
"That's for agitating us. And my other reason is… I just like hitting you." Natsume said. He looked eloquent of disgust.
"Why do you look disgusted Natsume?" Ruka asked.
"12 o'clock" he just said. (12 o'clock means strait ahead)
Ruka understands what he's said so he looked strait ahead.
"We should dash off before that annoying seaweed gets here." Ruka said. While the two agreed. (A/n: ANNOYING SEAWEED SUMIRE)
They walked away. They didn't attend class for they are late. They don't want to be scolded or humiliated by the "alien". They walked to the Sakura tree and spent most of their morning school hours there.
oO0Oo
In Mikan's mansion Tsakaki waited for Mikan to come down. He waits patiently for he knew Mikan is slow when it comes to picking her clothes. While he's waiting Mikan's grandfather and parents are explaining their plan to Tsakaki about Mikan's surprise party. They are actually confident to talk about it because they do know their Mikan. Minutes later…
"Miss Mikan is coming." The maid announced.
"Thank you Lara, tell her to come here in the dining hall." Mr. Sakura ordered.
The maid bowed and went outside the dining room. After a short while Mikan entered the dining hall.
"Mikan darling have a seat and eat your breakfast." Mrs. Sakura said smiling.
"I'm not going to eat breakfast today mother. I'm late for school." Mikan said.
"Oh no young Miss. You are not going to leave this house without eating your breakfast" Mr. Sakura said.
"Remember Mikan breakfast is the most important meal of the day so you must not disregard it." Her Jii-chan said. (Though they are now in USA they are still Japanese)
Mikan walked to her seat and started to eat her breakfast. Unbeknown to her Tsakaki is admiring her features and sense of fashion. Mikan is wearing a button up long sleeves that she folded the sleeve up to her elbow she unbutton the last 3 buttons and tied it up, skinny jeans and white boots that almost reached her knees. Mikan tied her hair in a low pigtail and curl the end of her hair. She looks like a gorgeous cow girl a fashionable one to be exact.
After Mikan ate she bid her family farewell. Tsakaki offered to drive her to school then he said he will pick her up and wherever they plan to go to after Mikan's class ends. They arrived at school at nearly lunchtime because of Mikan's tardiness. Mikan decided to wait till lunchtime to go to Hotaru. The two talked about a lot of things. They laughed at their childhood memories. They only stopped when the bell rang signaling for lunch break.
"I think that's my cue." Mikan said chuckling.
"Ok Mikan ill pick you up later okie dokers?" Tsakaki said.
"Ukie but don't be late ok. Or else ill rot here." Mikan joked.
"I wont besides no one will pay our dinner if I won't pick you up later." Tsakaki said teasingly.
"Hah! Riiiiiiight, in your dreams Mr." Mikan said while she elbowed Tsakaki gently. "But I need to go now tootsie… so sayonara dayanara." Mikan said. She walked towards Tsakaki and kissed his cheeks. (A/n: dayanara is a name that rhymes with sayonara.. lol)
"Bye baby." Tsakaki said while waving goodbye to Mikan.
After Mikan disappeared in his sight he drove back to the Sakura mansion.
Unbeknown to both Mikan and Tsakaki there are three pairs of eyes witnessed the whole thing from car arriving to parking to talking to teasing to kissing to waving and all the ing-ing's. (lolxie) The same pairs of eyes in the music room back at the first day of school. Those that admired her ever since. Only that Koko can't go further than admiration due to his loyalty to his girlfriend Nonoko. (Admiration does not count in betraying your girlfriend right? It is normal for every living person to admire. Except if you are blind or blinded by love.)
The cat bit the tongues of the three boys no one dared speak. Jealousy surrounded the three but more on Ruka and Natsume for the both of them have the same feeling towards our brunette. No one moved or talked for a while. Until Koko disturbed the deafening silence that surrounds the three of them.
"I didn't know that Mikan has a boyfriend!" Koko started.
He then saw that he made it worst, for the two are getting more and more irritated.
"She never told us. Maybe that is her brother or father? Maybe a distant relative" Koko said.
"Idiot he can't be her father. He's too young to be her father. He looks 18." Natsume said. "I hope your right about the distant relative or maybe brother Koko." He thought.
Koko shivered of what the two will do to him.
But luckily they never did anything to him.
"Let's go and eat lunch I'm hungry." Koko diverted.
The two agreed because they want to drink cold beverages to cool up their boiling heads. When they arrived at the cafeteria, it was noisy as usual same old thing is happening except for the two boys that just walked in.
oO0Oo
Hotaru is eating her crabs and oysters with Anna, Nonoko and Yuu. Mikan went Hotaru's table and…
"Hoooottttaaarrruuuuu" Mikan shouted.
Her voice boomed to the whole cafeteria. Every one in that room stared at her.
"Ehe continue eating." She told the crowd with a goofy smile while scratching the back of her head.
"Well that's what you get for being a loud mouth." Hotaru said while still eating her crabs. She put down the crab she was eating and added. "By the way, why are you late? Answer me immediately or face the wrath of my new umbrella."
"Oh yea remember Tsakaki the one I've been telling you about?" Mikan started.
"What about him?" Hotaru asked.
"His here. He actually took a week off from his band tours and stuff to visit me. We haven't seen each other for 12 years though. He calls me twice a week but he never send a picture and vice versa. Now he's actually here!" Mikan squealed in delight.
"Mikan you're still not answering my question." Hotaru said getting irritated.
"That's why I'm telling you about him because he is the reason! He woke me up this morning and then we started talking until we both forgot the time. Then my family added too. Because they wouldn't let me go if I wont eat my breakfast. They said breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So on and so forth… yada yada yada… blah blah blah… ehehe" Mikan joyfully tell Hotaru her reason.
"Well good enough. Ill let you get away from my umbrellas wrath." Hotaru said while drinking her sprite.
"Aren't you going to eat Mikan?" asked Yuu
"No Yuu I just ate my breakfast." Mikan replied.
"Oh Mikan, do you like to go with us to the mall after lunch?" asked Anna.
"I would like to Anna, but I already told Tsakaki that I'm going with him later. He will pick me up after class." Mikan replied apologetically as she bowed her head.
"Its ok Mikan maybe some other time" Anna said.
"Well Mikan, tell us about this Tsakaki guy. Is he your boyfriend?" Nonoko asked with excitement.
"He is not my boyfriend Nonoko. He's just my childhood friend who happens to be very close to me. Do you know the band 'Immortal Sin'"? Mikan asked.
"Yea they are the hottest rock band! Of course I do!" replied Nonoko with wonder and excitement.
"OMG don't tell me the Tsakaki you are referring to is Tsakaki Henata the lead vocalist of the 'Immortal Sin'!" Anna shouted.
"Shhhhhh! don't shout… and yes it's him." Mikan said smiling to her friends.
"Oh My…! Shut up! Shut up shut up!" Said the both of them with disbelief and excitement.
"It's true. Believe her. He even calls her baby and she calls him tootsie." Hotaru said with the same stoic expression.
"Is that true Mikan?" The two asked.
"Well, yea." Was the only reply they got from Mikan.
"Why? And How?" Yuu asked.
"Well it started when we were 4 years old…" Mikan started her story.
Flashback:
"Waaaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa! Mooooommmmmyyyyy!! Daaaaaaddddyyyy! Jiiiiiii-ccchhhhaaaann!" Mikan shouted.
"You're such a baby! Crying over a lollipop" Tsakaki teased.
"Waaaaahhaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa! You lollipop-naper! You kidnap my lollipop!" Mikan told Tsakaki while still crying.
"I didn't kidnap your lollipop! And I'm not a lollipop-naper!" Tsakaki replied trying hard not to laugh.
"You did. You did! I hate you! I hate you!" Mikan said.
"You know what! You're too old to act like a baby! Maybe your one of those special child" Tsakaki said he can't hold it anymore. He burst out laughing rolled on the floor while clutching his tummy.
"Of course I'm a special child! Mom said I'm unique." Mikan said proudly. She stopped crying.
"I didn't mean it that way! What I mean is… special in the head… a retard." He said while still laughing his ass off.
"I'm not a retard! For your information! You're the retard… ha! Look whose rolling on the floor now? Imitating a dog that tries to rub his back on the floor! Ahahahahahha! What shall I call you? Hmm How about Tootsie! Our neighbor's dead do ahahahhaha!" Mikan said while laughing.
Tsakaki immediately stood up and stuck out his tongue out to Mikan.
"You're still the baby! Baby! Baby! Baby! Baby! Baby!" Tsakaki continued to tease Mikan.
"You're still Tootsie! Toooootttssssiiieeeee! Come here boy. Ahahahahahah!" Mikan said laughing.
From then on they became good friends. But sadly Mikan has to go. Her family decided to migrate in California because most of her dads business is there. It's hard to say goodbye especially to your best friend.
"Toot- 'sob' sie- 'sob' eee… this is my 'sob' address in 'sob' California 'sob'. Don't forget to 'sob' write ok! I will miss you 'sob' 'sob' 'sob'." Mikan said to Tsakaki while crying.
"Baby 'sob' I will miss 'sob' you too 'sob' I promise I will write 'sob' and take this 'sob' 'sob' 'sob'." Tsakaki hardly said while handing out a teddy bear.
"But it's Mr. Milkman! 'Sob' He is your favorite teddy bear. 'sob' You can't sleep without Mr. Milkman…'sob' 'sob' 'sob'." Mikan said still crying.
"Take it baby 'sob' I want you to have it 'sob' it's my gift to you 'sob' remember me ok 'sob' don't ever forget me 'sob'." Tsakaki said while putting Mr. Milkman in Mikan's hands.
"Take Miss Bun-bun too 'sob' 'sob' I won't forget you! 'sob' 'sob' I'm sure I can sleep with Mr. Milkman 'sob' 'sob' remember we used to exchange them? 'sob' 'sob'." Mikan said.
"I will take care of Miss Bun-bun baby 'sob' take care of your self there ok." Tsakaki said
The 5 grown ups look at Mikan and Tsakaki with teary eyes. They never thought they could be so close. It breaks their hearts to separate them. But it had to be done. Mikan's parents couldn't do it. Tsakaki's parents can't do it too. So Jii-chan did it or else they would be late for their flight.
"Mikan, Tsakaki. Time to say your final good byes little ones we need to go now Mikan." Jii-chan said gently trying hard not to cry.
Mikan's mother and Tsakaki's mother silently cried for their child.
"Waaaaahaaaaahaaaaa 'sob' 'sob' good bye Tootsie!" Mikan sobbed.
" 'sob' bye 'sob' baby 'sob' " Tsakaki replied.
They hugged each other and crying really hard. Their fathers parted them and they both hugged their father and cried some more.
End of flashback:
"So that's it. That's the story" Mikan said while slowly moving her head towards her friends.
"Your 'sob' life is a sad story Mikan 'sob'" Anna said while crying with Nonoko.
"Stupid! Not her life. She's quite happy. It's just her childhood days." Hotaru said with annoyance visible in her voice.
Mikan and Hotaru sweat drop when Anna and Nonoko cried really hard.
"I'm happy that you saw each other again." Yuu added.
The bell rang signaling for the start of classes. Classes began, teachers started the lesson… after a while classes ended.
Mikan was walking alone in the hallways because all her friends went to the mall. She's going to the parking lot to meet Tsakaki… but she was pulled by someone into the dark corridor of the school.
