Chapter 2

The Girl In The Doll's House

By Lunatic Heart

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Many girls that I have met before are nothing like this one. Mikan is completely different and very amusing. I don't know what her deal is that she wants me to stay with her for 7 days, but I might find this enjoyable. Also, I am enjoying every part of her house. It's got everything anybody could wish for in their own house. When I was staying with my parents, before they sent me to Music School and before they left here and died, our house was incredibly small because my father didn't have enough money to pay for an amazing house like this one. I only got in to Tokyo Academy of Music on a scholarship, if I hadn't recieved it I would never have got in. But I guess that doesn't matter now. I walked outside their garden, which also is twice the size of my school field, as I saw her basking in the sunlight. When she heard my footsteps she looked up at me and tried to smile at me. Though it came out in more of a grimace. I mimicked her just to see that annoyed expression appear back on her face. I sat down on the chair beside her and squinted my eyes as I looked up at the sky. It was extremely hot today, much more than normal. Mikan's hair was tied up high revealing the features of her face clearly. The sun shone on her hair making it gleam and shine from the light.

"So what's your first wish?" I asked.

She looked at me and took off her sunglasses that were propped on her nose. I was interested to see what she exactly wanted to fulfill in these next 7 days. She tossed her hair behind her back and smiled.

"I want to go to the zoo," she insisted.

I stared at her speechless. She wanted to go to the zoo. Of all places. I sighed, how old was she? Her eyes were shining with the idea.

"Why the zoo?" I enquired.

She shrugged and coughed lightly. She sniffed and laid back on her chair. I didn't really mind going to the zoo. I hadn't been there for a very long time. I once went there when I was 10 with my dad. But after that we never went again. I guess it was because he decided that looking at animals in cages was wrong. Safari's are better because you see them not in cages, but my dad was still against that too. Funny, I thought most of my memories of my father would be full with resentment. I guess I still have some good ones to look back on. But the bad out number the good by a lot. I shook my head, there was no point thinking about that. I'll only start becoming depressed and I'll end up on the street again. I'm quite lucky having found this place, so it was best to make my luck last. Mikan seemed to be thinking about what she really liked about the zoo as she opened her mouth to speak.

"I just like them. Okay? Just come with me, it will be fun," she insisted.

I rolled my eyes. I wonder if her version of fun was really fun. But hey, I guess I'll enjoy it one way or another.

"Yeah, fun," I said sarcastically.

Mikan noticed the sarcastic tone in my voice as she hit me hard on the shoulder. It really didn't hurt one bit and she had realised that. I raised an eyebrow as she snorted and looked away. Her hit was like a tap to me. It was funny how she looked like she was trying so hard to hit me when all she did was give me a tiny little tap. If she was strong enough and she really did hit me hard, which I doubt would have happened anyway, she would be dead. But that idea is totally perposterous. Stupid. She stood up as she put her sunglasses on and gestured for me to stand up too. I sighed as I stood on my feet and dug my hands in my trouser pockets.

"Can you drive?" she asked me as I looked at her narrowing my eyes.

Ah. Can I drive. Hmm, that was one thing I decided not to tell her about. I had never got my driving license because my parents said they would teach me themselves. But of course that idea went right down the drain. Though, I'm not owning up to that. She'll just have to figure it out. I'm sure she will or she really will be a complete idiot.

"Yeah, sure," I said a smirk appearing on my lips.

She didn't seem so convinced by my attitude. But she didn't ask anything more. Instead she walked me to a red mercedes that was in her driveway all sparkling and new like it had never been touched. It looked like it had just been bought. Maybe Mikan didn't know how to drive. If she did wouldn't she be driving herself? I guess that we are both in the same boat, even though she doesn't know that.I opened the door and sat at the front seat as she went to the passenger seat. She gave me her keys as I started the car engine. At least I had a small idea of what to do as I had watched my friends do it so many times before. Maybe the journey to the zoo wouldn't be such havoc as I thought.

"Nice car. Is it new?" I asked.

Mikan shook her head as the window next to her went down so that her hair was now blowing about in the breeze.

"No, I got it for my sweet 16. But I never had time to actually use it," she told me.

How could she never have time? If she went out she could have taken the car. I was starting to believe that she really didn't know how to drive at all. We drove out of the driveway, quite easily surprisingly, and I turned left. This was where my crap skills came to light. She noticed when we were going a bit faster than the limit and that the smirk on my face was wide as ever.

"You look crazy and your driving like crazy. Where did you get your license Crazy Town?" she asked.

I glared at her as she shut up. I snorted. She had no right to say that when she couldn't even drive herself. She was probably worse than me. I wasn't an expert but between me and her in driving skills it was a whole different level.

"Shut up. Or else,"

She looked at me her mouth open like she was ready to say something but she decided not to. Instead she looked away and out of the window. The traffic was starting to pile up now and it looked like it would take us a long time to reach the zoo, wherever it was. The sky was turning a dull looking grey. Great, just what I need. I turned on the radio as Linkin Park burst through the speakers. Mikan sat back not seeming to really like the music I was playing. Who cares, if she doesn't like it then she'll just have to live with it. I looked at the many cars in front of us seeing that it was starting to move but very slowly. This was starting to become tiring. I kind of wasn't in the mood for trekking around zoos.

"Where is that stupid zoo anyway?" I asked her.

Mikan looked away and fiddled with her brunette hair. She was acting like she didn't know. I looked at her, had she gotten us lost? Did she even know where the damn zoo was? She didn't, she had made me drive around the city and lead me to no where. She didn't even have a map with her. I really felt like going back but we were so far away from her elaborate mansion that I had no idea which way was back. I sighed, stupid girl. The traffic in front of us started moving as we came past the traffic lights and I stopped at the side walk. Mikan looked at me cluelessly probably wondering why I had stopped. I turned around to her.

"Baka. We're lost aren't we?" I asked.

She blushed scarlet red revealing that this was true. She didn't admit it before because she was embarassed. But that didn't do any good. If she had told me before I could maybe find our way back or ask someone for directions. But we were too far out to ask such a thing. Although, we were still in the city there seemed to be no one about. Mikan suddenly straightened up and hit me on the head.

"You called me a baka!" she shouted at me.

I raised an eyebrow smirking.

"You'r so slow, b-a-k-a," I said emphasising the baka.

Mikan glared at me for calling her a baka again not pleased at all. There was a sound of thunder as rain started to pour down on the car. The hood of the mercedes was down so we were getting rained upon. I put it up quickly before we got anymore drenched than we already were. I looked at Mikan.

"So what now, baka?" I asked her making baka become a little bit of a nickname.

She was getting tired of me constantly calling her that. But she seemed like she was giving up. She shrugged.

"I dunno. Let's go out of the car though," she suggested.

I snorted, "In this weather?"

It was raining extremely hard now and the wind was starting to pick up. It wasn't normal for a girl to want to be outside in this kind of weather. Most people would hate it and find it too cold. But then again, she wasn't just like any normal girl was she? She nodded at me answering my question from earlier. She stepped out of the car as her hair immediately got drenched by the rain. She stood there soaking and laughing like she was enjoying it. It was weird, but kind of cute. No, it was just plain weird. I stood up to get out when a huge gust wind pulled up Mikan's skirt revealing. Polka Dots. I laughed to myself realising that she was somehow unaware of what had just happened. Just another nickname now, huh. I locked the car with the keys and put it in my pocket as I felt the rain splash my face. God was it freaking cold.

I looked at Mikan noticing she was shivering. She was only wearing a top that had no sleeves on and a skirt revealing her skin. No wonder she was freezing. I was ok though. But she was bound to catch a cold. I sighed, the forecast said it was going to rain, so wouldn't it have been practical for her to wear something that wouldn't make her into a shivering mess. She was stupid. Even if she was denying it. I took off my coat as I wrapped it around her shoulders. She looked at me confused. She didn't expect me to be so courteous. I never expected I would be like that either. But it was annoying seeing her shiver and chatter her teeth every two seconds. I was getting a headache from it, that's why I gave her my coat. No way was I ever being courteous.

"Thanks," she said as she put the coat on.

It was way too big and long for her. The arms covered past her hands. She looked odd wearing it. I stood beside her as we walked along the side walk aimlessly.

"So, you wanna go try and find the zoo?" I suggested.

She shook her head, "There's no point. I have no idea where it is and this day is coming to an end. I have 6 more days left."

I looked at her, the way she said the last part sounded so sad. Why did she say it like that? 6 days left to what? I've only known her for a day and a half but she's starting to worry me. I've never worried about someone before. She suddenly coughed violently as she doubled over clutching her stomache.

"Polka, are you ok?" I asked.

She stopped coughing and nodded and then narrowed her eyes.

"Polka? You know my name's Mikan."

I had said Polka unconsciously. But it kind of suited her. Yeah, Polka. That was her temporary name. I smirked knowing what her reaction would be after I told her.

"No, you're Polka. Polka Dots," I said.

For a split second she didn't seem to understand what I meant but her eyes widened realising exactly why I had called her that. She gasped and gritted her teeth.

"Oh my god! You pervert!" she shouted at me.

I smirked at her, it wasn't my fault that I had seen it. It was the wind. If she wanted someone to blame, or something in this case, blame it on the wind. But the look on her face was definitely priceless. She whacked me several times as I couldn't help but laugh.

"PERVERT! PERVERT! PERVERT! WHY THE HECK AM I LETTING YOU IN MY HOUSE! YOU-"

She suddenly stopped talking when a sudden lightning strike followed my thunder echoed through the sky. Mikan jumped, right into my arms. I let her go as she fell to the floor the scared look on her face from the lightning turn back to that annoyed angry look from before.

"I hate you. If I hadn't asked you to fulfill my wishes you'd be dust!"

Somehow I didn't believe that. I grinned at her, I didn't think she partically hated me either.

End of Chappie 2!

I hope you enjoyed it!
