A Debt To Pay

Tsubame Sakura

Chapter 4: Sayaki Hyuuga

'What's the meaning of this?'

Mikan looked at her, her body was still facing the two boys but her face was directly focused on the girl that stood before her. The girl looked at Uryu and Rokai in disgust, "Why are you two here, perverted bastards?" She asked them as she didn't have a chance to look at Mikan first. She went closer to them and…

SMACK!

Two hand marks are placed on both of their faces; they held it with their palms and cried waterfalls, "Sorry, Sayaki-chan!" They both cried. She looked at them and 'hmph'ed and turned around to face Mikan but her eyes are still closed.

Sayaki-chan? Mikan thought still looking at the raven haired girl. "I'm sorry if their harassing you--!" She looked at Mikan and had a surprised look placed on her face, "You're…" She said, "You're…"

"Uh… Ano ne…" Mikan said her hands behind her back, "Gome--!"

"KAWAII!!" She shouted as she hugged Mikan tightly, her mouth was full of hearts and her eyes closed, "Ano, what's you're name, cute-girl?" She asked suddenly still hugging Mikan.

"Um… M-mikan Sakura…" She replied as she smiled cheerfully at her. "N-nice to meet you…" She stuttered.

"Nice to meet you too!" Sayaki replied cheerfully at her.

"B-but, sorry to interrupt you happy time… b-because… I-I can't breath." Mikan stuttered her face was turning into color blue.

"Oh!! Sorry!" She said as she released Mikan, "Hi Mikan-chan, my name is Sayaki Hyuuga, I'm Natsume's older sister." She said.

"Oh i-is that so…?" Mikan said her head facing the floor; she tried to be polite as she could but then… "So… Mikan-chan, are you Natsume's friend?" Sayaki suddenly asked her out of the blue.

"Um… well, actually…"

"Hey, idiotic girl."

"Huh?" Mikan gulped as she heard that familiar voice, Natsume looked at her and then turned to face his sister.

"Oh hi Natsume!"

"Didn't I tell you not to come in my room?" He asked her, Sayaki's face saddened, "Well, I just came here so that I could know what was happening… you know there were a lot of shouts." She pouted.

"…"

"And I already told you not to let this two in!" She shouted, "You know I hate these two!" She pointed at those two who was still on the floor.

"I didn't let them in, idiot!" Natsume said as he turned to Uryu and Rokai, "Who let you in?" He asked them.

"The door was open so…" Rokai said as he turned to Uryu who was still facing Natsume.

"Get out now." Natsume demanded as he glared at them, "Yes sir." They said as they stood up and left.

"You…" He said facing Mikan as she back out a little, "Since you made this mess, clean it up." He said.

"I didn't--!"

"Hey, Natsume… I was wondering, who is this girl to you any way?" Sayaki asked him curiously as Natsume faced her.

"She's my…"

"She's you're what?" Sayaki said as she stopped for a while, "This isn't this servant thing now is it? When you last had a servant which is your classmate, she cried and cried until she looked old!" Sayaki said, "Now… tell me…"

"She's my…" Natsume was speechless, she didn't want her sister to get angry at him, but he didn't want to lose Mikan as a servant either. Mikan looked at him and knew he was in trouble.

"I'm his partner!" Mikan shouted suddenly, "A partner in a project, teacher gave us one week to work for it."

"Oh is that so?" Natsume sighed in relief knowing his sister fell for it, Ruka by the way left early for his pet rabbit got sick.

"So…" Sayaki said, she stopped when she heard rain drops fell heavily on their roof top. "Wait for a second when I check the weather report." She said as she left.

Mikan sighed and was about to leave to accompany Sayaki when, "Hey." She heard him say as she looked at him and asked, "What?"

"They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Mikan looked at him and smiled, "No, actually I fought back." She answered. Natsume looked at the ceiling and heaved a sigh.

Is he… worried about me?

"Tsk, and about what you said to my sister that excuse…" He said as he looked at her again, "Was lame."

"What!?"

"Why only one week, I told you when the school ends, moron." He told her as her fists clenched, "At least I gave out an excuse, while you kept on stuttering." Mikan said.

"I was not stuttering you idiot," He said.

"Then what were you saying? 'She's my'… 'She's my'… and 'she's my'… isn't that called stuttering?"

"No… it's called--!" Natsume was cut off when he heard his sister's vioce.

"Hey, guys!" Sayaki called, "What is it?" Natsume asked.

"I just heard that there's a flood, just outside our house, it's impossible to make Mikan go home…" She said, "Can Mikan-chan stay here for a while…?"

W-W-WHAT?!
