Suddenly Becomes 'Mama'

by Yuuto Tamano

Chapter 2: Their Fight

A fresh morning greeted the Alice Academy middle school building which was looked very glorious because each of the windows reflecting the sunrays to all directions. Today was so bright that the birds even sang joyfully to each other. The view was very lively of course. But, unfortunately, wasn't for our lovely main character and her gangs—

—because, at the same time they were learning math by the infamous Jinno-sensei.

Almost all of the students in Alice Academy felt reluctant to this fierce teacher—despite the fact that they were much more frightened by his electricity Alice than he himself. In contrast to Narumi-sensei who always brought positive aura when he was teaching, Jinno-sensei was the opposite. Even the wrinkles on his face supported his negative aura.

The world wouldn't have been exciting if there was no one who dared to rebel against Jinno-sensei. Maybe there were some people who doubted that there would be a student who dared to do that. But most of people believed that that student really existed, even in reality it wasn't only a student, but students. The two among them were very infamous for the nicknames 'Black Cat' and 'Ice Queen'. I think you are now able to guess who they were.

However, there was one person among those who didn't intend to disobey but always got a scolding from that electricity teacher. Unlike the Black Cat and the Ice Queen who openly showed their rebellions; wherein the Black Cat was always sleeping with his face covered by a manga during his class and the Ice Queen was too busy with her inventions to even pay a little attention to him (yet because both of them were genius in math, sometimes Jinno-sensei just let them did what they wanted). But even though this one student was always trying to pay most of her attention to Jinno-sensei's lesson, somehow she always ended up given punishment from him.

And even today, she once again received the anger of Jinno-sensei for the umpteenth times when a very familiar voice came from the direction of the large bag beside her.

"Oee... oee ..." That was the sound of the said voice.

"What was that?" shouted Jinno-sensei, who turned his face from the blackboard toward his students. "Who is fool enough to take a baby into this class and interrupt the lesson?"

Everyone already knew who it was, including Jinno-sensei himself.

"Mikan Sakura, detention! Get out of my class now and we'll meet again after school for punishment!"

"Not again..." muttered the pale-faced girl named Mikan Sakura in a low voice. She then carried the said large bag which was still sounding a crying and stepped out of the classroom.

The atmosphere in the classroom still kept in silent when most of the students stared at her with a sense of sympathy. No one dared to protest. At the same time, a smirk was formed on the face of a guy who owned the most dazzling crimson eyes.

"Natsume Hyuuga, the same detention applies to you!" stated Jinno suddenly.

Mikan immediately ran to her dorm room in order to calm Natsuki who was crying out of the blue. Once in her room, she quickly putted him down on her bed and gave him a bottle of milk. Mikan exhaled as a sign of relief when the baby finally stopped crying. She stared at Natsuki's chubby face and then stroked his brunette hair.

She sighed once again.

Actually she didn't want to bring him to the classroom nor did hide him inside a large bag from Jinno-sensei's eyesight. But there was no other choice for her. She couldn't possibly leave him on academy's teachers' hands because she knew how busy the teachers were. And so she also couldn't leave him alone in her room.

"Heck. The future me is really a troublesome ..."

"The present you are also a troublesome—" said a voice which belonged to someone so familiar in her life, and the said someone was now leaning himself on her door with his hands crossed on his chest, "—aren't you, little mama?"

"Don't call me that, you perverted fox!"

Natsume Hyuuga only formed a smirk when he made his steps toward her and little Natsuki who was still sucking his bottle of milk.

"Why are you here, Natsume? Jinno-sensei's lesson is still on-going, isn't it?" Mikan asked, surprised.

"Thanks to you, the damned teacher also gave me detention."

"Eh? What did I do?"

"Because I'm your partner—that's what he said."

"Huh?"

The fire caster just grinned, and they both finally sunk in silence. Then he looked at Natsuki who was also looking back at him. Those big eyes that that baby had really reminded him of someone he knew, but he once again couldn't figure out who he or she was.

Those big ruby eyes.

"Hey, Natsume, do you smell something?" Mikan asked as she covered her nose with her index finger and thumb.

Natsume turned his eyes from Natsuki to her, raising an eyebrow, "What—"

At the same time, Natsuki once again suddenly wept.

"Oh my God! Sshh... Sshh... my dear, Natsuki. Please don't cry again..." she said desperately, carrying the baby in her arms. Then she could smell the stinky scent coming from his diaper.

Knowing where the stink came from, the Black Cat quickly covered his nose as he said, "Hurry up change his diaper. He smells so bad."

"I'm on it!" she exclaimed and then immediately took a clean diaper and a baby powder from the bag where all the baby necessities were placed inside. She then putted Natsuki to bed and got ready to open his dirty diaper. But she turned freeze for a moment.

"Natsume, I wanna ask you one thing."

"Speak up."

"I guess I'm not ready for this… would you do it instead of me?"

"No way in hell!"

"Why not?"

"Why you ask? Of course it's a girl's job."

Mikan pouted, "But yesterday you didn't even do anything to help me taking care of Natsuki. So today you should."

"I have no obligation to do that."

"But Narumi-sensei told you so!"

"Who cares about that gay teacher."

"You are annoying, Natsume! It's just this kind of thing and you—"

"If it's only 'this kind of thing', why don't you do it yourself then?"

When Mikan was about to protest, Natsuki's crying turned louder, as if to stop the fight the two of them had. Hearing that, Mikan returned her focus on Natsuki.

"Forgive me, Natsuki! I should have paid more attention to you than to that jerk." Mikan sadly apologized as she slowly took off his dirty diaper and threw it to the trash. After that she cleaned his buttock then pulled the clean diaper on him. At last, Natsuki finally stopped crying.

Mikan took a deep breath in relieved, "Finally, it's done."

"You should have done it earlier." Natsume said firmly.

"Nah, I hate you, Natsume. So I don't talk with you!"

He just smirked, "But you're just talking to me."

The both of them stuck their tongue out at each other in exasperation. "I feel so sorry for your future son! He'll have a stubborn and useless father like you!"

"I actually feel sorry for Natsuki because he has a stupid mother."

"No way! Natsuki will be proud to have a caring mother like me! Unlike you who don't give a damn at anything!"

"Surely Natsuki will be proud to have a cool father like me."

"Huh? That doesn't make sense! Seriously, why do you think ignorant people like you are cool?"

"I didn't say that."

Mikan finally reached the limit of her patience. "Arrgghh! What the heck is wrong with you? And Natsuki is my son, not yours!" she emphasized the last two words.

Suddenly Natsume felt like there was an arrow piercing his chest when Mikan said that, because now his chest felt hurt, even to the point where he couldn't reply back. Mikan words kept repeating in his mind. How he wished that Natsuki was also his. How he wished that Mikan would realize the feelings he felt. If she did maybe this useless debate with her wouldn't happen and he wouldn't feel sore. How he was hoping to such things.

After that, they both just stayed in silence, until Mikan destroyed it when she carried Natsuki and was about to walk out of her room when she said, "The next period will be held in a moment. We'd better get back to class." she said flatly.

The fire caster stared at her for a moment. Then he took a deep breathe as he followed her.

The moon soon would come out to replace the sun in the sky when Mikan stepped out of the classroom, followed by Natsume. They had just finished their detention from Jinno-sensei who ordered them to clean the classroom. An unusual sight could be seen by the frog teacher when he was punishing the two of them. Neither Mikan nor Natsume did say a word to each other, nor looked at each other.

Yes, you're right, until now they were still in quarrel. Both Mikan and Natsume had a pride that kept them away from reconciliation.

Mikan then walked back toward her room and occasionally yawned and stretched her arms, feeling exhausted. She couldn't wait to see Natsuki who was left in Hotaru's hands. Behind her, the fire caster followed as he putted his hands in his pockets. He secretly stared at Mikan's back with the eyes filled of meanings.

"Black cat..."

His crimson eyes widened when he heard the whispers that came from his back side. He looked at Mikan. Apparently she didn't hear that mysterious whisper.

"Black cat..."

Natsume then narrowed his eyes and turned away from her. He walked toward the source of those whispers. He really did know whose the whisper was. "What do you want, Persona?" he asked coldly when he caught the sight of a man with a white mask covered half of his face.

"I've got a mission for you."

To be continued

Author's Note: This chapter is short. I think this fic is getting serious right now. It will be more serious in next chapters because I'm gonna add some adventure in this fic. Like Takagi from Bakuman had said that gags story doesn't really suit me at all. For more information about this fic, Mikan and Natsume are NOT dating but Natsume surely has a feeling for Mikan. One-sided love I mean.

Here is short summary for chapter 3:

When morning sun greeted Mikan happily, she finds something that almost makes her faint. Natsuki's gone. She can't find him even though she's already searching for him anywhere. What's happening to Natsuki last night when Mikan was sleeping? Does his disappearance have something with Natsume's mission?
