Mika, of course, followed Dr. Umeda's instructions. One day for already 2 weeks, after classes were finished for the day, she's go to Osaka High with the held of Rio. Yes, the doctor's sister. And yes, Mika knew that for a long time. And every time, she'd look around for 'The Aura Guy', as she liked to call him, but she never saw him.
The students whistled both times Rio and Mika made their way through the hall. Especially the time they wore their uniforms. Rio punched a good number of them for that.
Mika sat on her bed, left leg propped up on numerous pillows, the other bent inward, Indian style without the other half. Her homework for the night was finished, and she was staring at the picture she took two weeks ago, at the Osaka High School Festival. She flipped it over in her hand, tearing her eyes away from the image of the boy she had been searching for the two other times she went to the school, and stared at her neat script on the back.
"Are you still staring at that picture, Mika?" Rio asked, her head appearing, upside down, out of nowhere. Mika jumped a little, her head hitting the top bunk. She scowled as her best friend and roommate laughed. "You know, I could figure out his name for you, if you'd like. My brother does work at the school..."
Mika snorted and put the picture back in her shoe box, and then shoved it underneath her bunk again. "No, no. Don't be ridiculous Rio. I'm not a stalker or anything. And I'm not desperate. Or in love!" She silenced her friend twice by saying the words she was going to say. It was Rio's turn to scowl.
"Then why do you keep looking at his photo? Every day I see you take that thing out. And both times we went to Osaka, you were craning your neck like you were looking for something-and I assume you'll do the same this week when we go to see my brother again."
Mika blushed. "I do not..." she mumbled.
Rio laughed again.
"Whatever you say Mika..." She pulled her head back onto her bunk, and Mika could hear her fidgeting about until she got comfortable. "Turn of the lights soon, hm? I need to get up early to talk to Julia."
"Okay. Just...hang on a minute." Mika started to reach under the bed to pull the shoe box out again.
"Mika!" Rio said warningly. "Do not pull out that shoebox!"
Mika smiled guiltily to herself and slowly pulled her hand away from the edge of her bed. Then, swinging her legs over the side, she walked over to the door, almost tripping over her long, periwinkle pajama pants, (a/n there's a tongue twister for you) and switched off the lights, then felt her way back to the bunks, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Mika awoke to the sounds of Rio typing noisily on the computer, talking to Julia, who was back from school for the day already. Mika groaned, and turned over to face the wall, in the hopes that she could fall back asleep. Rio wasn't ready for school yet, it had to still be early.
"Mika-get up. It's 7:30..." Rio said, still typing at rapid pace. Mika groaned and threw the warm covers off of her body, instantly shivering. No matter the season or temperature out side, in the morning, and at night, Mika was very cold. She carefully brought her legs over the side of her bed, and Rio came to help her to the bathroom, where her uniform was hung up on the back of the door.
"Take a bath and get dressed. If you need any help...just ask, okay?" An uncomfortable expression fleeted across her face. Mika nodded in a way that said she'd manage without her friend's help. Rio nodded back and then went back to the computer to finish talking to her friend in America.
Mika yawned, staring into the mirror. Purple lines had formed under her dusty brown eyes. She had slept horribly last night, tossing and turned, kicking her leg against the wall. The pain that caused shot up her leg and spread throughout her entire body, and had left her awake for an hour as she silently screamed, not wanting to wake Rio, and unable to move.
She ran her fingers through her messy brown hair, which stuck up at all ends, her teeth chattering. Shaking her head at her appearance, she turned on the hot water and filled the tub almost completely before undressing and lying down in the water. She closed her eyes, relaxing. It was so comfortable...
There was a knock on the door-loud and demanding. Mika's eyes shot open. She looked at the door. It opened, and Rio stuck her head through the crack. "Mika? Are you alive? You've been in there for over an hour and a half. You missed breakfast, and I'm about to miss my first class."
Mika mumbled under her breath, and then turned her attention to her tight-eyed friend. "Umm...I'll be...right out." she said hurriedly.
"Mika...do you want me to just tell the teachers you're sick?"
Mika once again turned her attention to Rio. She bit her lip, then let out a sigh. "All right. Thank you..."
Rio nodded and turned her head in the direction she believed her friend to be in. "Not a problem." She smiled at the wall, and then disappeared back into the Main Dorm, closing the bathroom behind her. Mika, relieved, sank back down into the warm water for a minute or so, and then finished bathing, changed back into her pajamas, and went back to bed.

Mika spent the whole day in bed, getting up once, maybe twice to go to the bathroom. She didn't eat-she wasn't hungry. She didn't drink-she wasn't thirsty. She just slept and slept, and when she wasn't doing that, she read until her eyes were tired, and she needed to go back to sleep.
But when the door opened, she was doing neither. She had stopped reading half an hour ago, and was trying so hard to fall asleep. Her eyes were burning, and needed to rest. But she couldn't sleep. Thinking it was the light coming in from the window, so she turned and faced the wall. But it didn't help. If anything, it made it harder. It was so uncomfortable.'
"Mika! Are you awake?" Rio's voice broke through the silence. Why did she sound...desperate?
"Yes!" The word came out like an exasperated grunt, and she turned back around so she could face her roommate. With her was their other friend, Yuri. She smiled and waved at Mika, who sat up and waved back.
"Good. We came by at lunch to bring you food but...you were asleep. So we left it in the fridge..." Rio had walked over to the mini fridge while talking, and opened it. She looked up over the door, a blank expression with her. Mika grimaced at the face.
"You haven't touched anything!" Yuri exclaimed, kneeling down beside Rio, then looking over at Mika, her blue eyes wide in surprise. In turn, Mika stared blankly at her. It wasn't really all that surprising. Mika was a very picky eater, and was only ravenously hungry one time a day-and that was around midnight. She barely ate any other time.
But with her 'midnight snack' had taken a shocking notch up-it was more like a 'midnight 3 course meal'.
"Okay. Not so surprising..." Yuri's face fell and she looked back into the refrigerator and grabbed a water bottle, tossed it at her bedded- friend, and then grabbed another for herself. Rio stood, and closed the door. She turned to Yuri and whispered something. She shrugged, then quickly nodded. Then the two turned to Mika.
"Come on! Time to visit my dear brother!" Rio smiled-or more like smirked. Mika groaned, burying her face in her hands.
" Rio! Why today?"
Rio raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms over her chest. "Don't you want to get it out of the way?"
Mika glared. "I'll get dressed..." she gave in. Yuri grabbed her arm from the bed, and then, Mikang it to the fridge, passed her over to Rio, who dropped her off at the bathroom, handing her the clothes she pulled out of the dresser while waiting to take Mika. Before closing the bathroom door, the injured one looked at each of them with an indescribable expression.
"I'm not a toddler, I'm not crippled. I can walk to the bathroom my self!" And then she closed the door.
While changing she could hear Yuri and Rio laughing.
Mika came out the bathroom again, in a completely better mood. "Let's go!" she said chirpily. Rio and Yuri nodded, and escorted her to Osaka High school for her weekly appointment with the doctor. But when they reached the entrance to the Dorms, a look of Realization hit her face.
"Um...hang on! I'll be right back!" She rushed back inside and, while waiting for her, Mika and Yuri talked animatedly about school and just life in general. Rio came back moments later with a bulging pocket. Her two friends looked inquisitively at her, and in response she just smiled, shaking her head. The three said nothing more until they reached the high school.
It was the usual routine, only times three, since now, a third girl was walking through the half of the all-boy school. They turned into the Medical Center and, unlike the other two times they came, the office was not completely empty. In fact, Dr. Umeda AND a patient were in there. A cute boy on the short side. Not cute, actually. More along the lines of...pretty.
"Mizuki!"
" Rio!"
The boy stood and hugged Rio, who hugged back.
"Hey! You're on time for once!" Rio exclaimed to her brother as she tried to discreetly hand a plastic bag filled with..something to the pretty boy called Mizuki. Mika looked curiously at it, and, Mizuki blushed, stuffing it in his checkered slacks. Was it just Mika or did she see...tampons in there? (a/n yeah well...they do 'mention them' in the book. without saying the word or anything...)
Mika's eyes widened, and she turned to Yuri, her mouth opening and closing like a fish. Yuri giggled. "What's with you?" she asked, shaking her head, then trying to stifle her giggles with her hand. Then, she sat her down in the seat Mizuki had been in. "So Rio has friends at an all boys' school. It isn't a big deal..." she shrugged.
Okay so Yuri hadn't seen it.
But that doesn't mean anything. Yuri can be pretty oblivious and...it wasn't like she was staring at the back like I was...Mika thought and smiled at everyone. Even the Mizuki person was looking curiously at her. Was someone talking to me? She looked around at each of them, her mouth now forming the shape of an 'o'. Her eyes finally landing on Dr. Umeda, she grinned sheepishly.
"What was that?"
"Shall we get down to business?"
Mika stared at the gay doctor for a moment; she nodded. Better get this over with.
"Okay! Then I will have to send the others to wander the school. Mizuki, Rio...umm...anyway! Will the three of you please leave?" Rio raspberried her brother and Mizuki and Yuri just waved. But, before they stepped out the door, Rio brought the other two into a VERY UNSUSPICIOUS circle. Mika couldn't make out what it was, but she could see Yuri and Rio pointing at something, Rio whispering in a very low voice. They all nodded, then said their good-byes again before exiting the medical center.
Dr. Umeda raised his eyebrows, turning to Mika. "Girls..."he muttered, pulling her leg onto his lap delicately.
Mika's eyes grew again. Had her ears deceived her or had he just said...girls? "Excuse me? What?" she asked, taking her leg from his lap and staring at him skeptically. He looked up, grabbed her leg placing it a little more forcefully back on his lap. He stared with his emotionless eyes at Mika.
"Hm?"
"You mumbled 'girls'. What do you mean? Mizuki was part of that and is a boy, right?" Eyebrows raised so high they were likely to fall off, eyes so inquiring they could be an interrogation light, and mouth so twitchy it could be a rabbit's foot, she looked at him, expecting him to answer.
Dr. Umeda blinked. "Of course." He went back to inspecting her ankle. He touched a swollen part-purposefully, it seemed like. She kicked his face. She could be very feisty when she wanted to know something.
Leaning in, she lowered her voice to a whisper. "Why did Rio hand him a bag full of tampons?" She wasn't about to give up. Again, when she wanted to know something, she dug her claws in so deep she couldn't pull them out until the information had been released. "Come on Umeda!" Mika urged in a deathly whisper.
Hokuto Umeda pulled a cigarette and lighter from his coat pocket. He took a few puffs, and then nodded. Mika was surprised he gave in so easily. Usually it took a lot more to make someone-especially and ADULT-to admit something. Mika shrugged satisfied. That was all she wanted to know, and she wasn't planning on telling anyone-it was obviously a secret, and she wasn't one to spill them. But, apparently, the doctor though she looked the untrustworthy type.
"But you can't tell anyone." Another puff. "She's been doing very well keeping it hush-hush." He squished the end of it in the Ash tray, and then dropped it. "Now shall we continue with your session?"
