Chapter Four

The Old has Gone and the New has Come

Mikan's POV

Beep beep beep!

"Oi Mikan! Are you ready yet?! I'm going to be late for my flight! Faster!" she yelled.

I panicked as I heard her voice yelling at me. I quickly grabbed a shoulder bag. Placed stuffs that I'm not sure what were those. I glanced myself again in front of the mirror to see if I was fine. Then I went downstairs, straightly to the door just to find her standing. Behind her was a taxi.

"Sorry." I smiled apologetically.

She just shrugged in reply and signaled me to hop in the taxi.

Airport

We sat there in silence while I thought of the possibilities when she's gone. Lots of unforgettable moments crossed my mind. Perhaps I can't survive without here. A simple smile from her means a lot for me.

"Flight to France on board" said the announcer.

She quickly gathered her bags. Then she noticed I was staring at her. She saw my expression that made her look sympathetic. She must have seen agony through my face.

Slowly I saw her hand extended towards me and I felt her warm hands cupped my cheeks and caressed it. Then I noticed she wiped a tear that fell across my cheek.

"Don't be sad," she said, "its also hard for me to leave you. But don't worry, I already have someone for the room." Then she flashed a smile.

I shook my head. "No, it's not about having a companion inside my house. But it's about losing you into my life." I explain. "You seemed to make my daily life complete every time I see you."

"hmm… maybe it's time for you to have boyfriend neh?" then switched her smile sheepishly.

I pouted, "I don't think so," Then smiled.

She didn't reply. Instead, smiled and walked away. I watched her back until she was out of sight.

I saw the plane she rode took off and flee against the wide spaced sky.

"hmm… maybe it's time for you to have boyfriend neh?"

This sentence rang on my head repeatedly. I never wished to have someone bugging me all the time. And yeah, as if someone will like me!

Shoot. I think I left my wallet inside my school bag! Of all the things! Ugh. Perfect. Now I ended up walking back home. While walking, I thought I saw Koko walking with a girl but after I shook my head he was gone. I must've been dreaming. Since Anna left, lots of questions crossed my mind. Does Koko know she left? Ugh. What a stupid question. Of course he knows!

Anyway, before anything stupid pop more into my mind, I finally reach home. It was a good thing that its Saturday today. I have time to rest and do my homework. Unfortunately, I cannot concentrate about these math problems. The person that will be occupying the room of Anna is knocking at the back of my head. I hope it's a girl. How does she look like?

Koko's POV

"Okay Dude. You can do this. You'll leave as soon as I find another renting place. Just for the mean time, stay here and act as a girl first okay?" I said, little chuckling.

"I understand. So Koko, how do I look like?" said the other guy.

It took me a while to answer. "Perfect. You know Natsume, I didn't know you're perfect to disguise as a girl. You look hot!" I kid and giggled.

Unfortunately, because of what I said, I received a punch on the head from him.

"Shut up." He said. I think I dug too much into his veins.

"Anyway, you ready?" I asked.

"Whatever." He simply replied. I always take that as a yes.

I slowly extended my hands to reach over to the. . .

Back to Mikan

A rang of my doorbell suddenly burst. I stood from my chair and left my mechanical pencil, point 5m, Pilot, in between my Math book.

I opened a door and a surprise suddenly jolted me. I almost chocked to what I saw.

There stood a very beautiful lady in front of me. Her blonde hair flicker behind her and it perfectly matches her loose pink shirt and baggy pants with a pair of Chuck Taylor. She wore a slight make up and little accessories. But she has muscles that are not ordinary for a lady. She flashed a crooked smile. Behind her was my cousin's boyfriend that once stepped into this house half naked. He waved at me and flashed his super white teeth.

"May I help you?" I managed to say.

"Uhh… well you see-" Koko said but I cut him off.

"Let the lady talk!" I said. But when I fixed my gaze on her, she just blushed and I believe she won't be able to answer my question.

"Okay, why don't we talk inside?" I invited them and gave them a way from the door. The beautiful lady kept her head down and blushes, while Koko push her inside. I immediately offered them a seat.

"So, who's this girl, Koko?" I asked impatiently.

"Didn't Anna tell you about the person occupying her old room?" Koko said.

Oh my gosh. This beautiful girl will occupy her room? Shoot. I never thought she would be this beautiful . . . with weird body structure. I never find any curves. Not even a big butt. Probably it's because of her loosed clothes.

Then I saw Koko nudging the lady. The lady grunted.

"Hi, my name is Natsu-…" she paused. "Natsu...ko. Natsuko Kushida. Nice meeting you." she offered her hand to me.

I wasn't able to move for a moment. I expected her voice to be angelic-like just like her characteristic, but I found it so eerie! It was in soprano; crooked and filled with her exhalation that it's not just for an angelic-like… it's a god-like voice! Rather goddess! I've never expected someone like her stepping into my house. It's like a goddess just reign over my house and made me a slave from her features!

"I-I'm Mikan S-Sakura," I finally said and extended my hand to meet hers. God, her hands were too soft, "nice meeting you too."

"Uhh, perhaps you need to get to know each other first." Koko said. "I'll leave you to Mikan m'kay." She said to Natsuko. She jolted a bit and grunted. Koko left.

"Umm, so how long have you been in Tokyo?" I can't think of a question to start a conversation.

Natsuko's POV

"Well, just a few days ago. I needed to have a place to stay. Thanks to my friend Koko he offered me this place." I lied. I obviously stay here in Tokyo!

"So, how did you find it? Was the atmosphere fine for you?" she asked. What a stupid question.

"Yes. And I loved the garden outside. It was wonderful unlike our garden." Puh-leeez. My garden is 100x bigger than that!

"Where are you from anyway?"

It took me time to answer. What lie could I tell now? "Umm, fr-from France." I answered flatly.

"Oh, I see. Well, let's discuss about this house." She shifted into a bossy mode. She looked cute when trying to be serious. It's making her look like a ten year old kid trying to be bossy.

"First, you must contribute for the payment of the bill." She said. That's simple. I grabbed my credit card before I left the house. But no, father must have locked all my credit cards. Oh the joy…

"Second, you help me in cleaning this house." That's a BIG no, no, darling. I won't let my hands get dirty.

"And third, the most important of them all, NO BOYS ALLOWED." She said firmly. I was stopped and it rang through my head.

"Neh," I forgot her name, "Umm, why don't you like boys?"

She paused and her bangs covered her eyes that made it hard to look at her expression. To my surprise, she lifted her head and smiled.

"It's a long story. Never mind it!" and giggled.

I was bewildered to her answer. I wonder why…

She showed me the whole house. It was wonderful. Perhaps her house is one-fourth of our house. There's one of the wall that was almost the window with a perfect view of some garden. It's actually a glass door through the balcony. The view from there was simply breath taking. It showed a beach. It's perfect white sand and crystal clear water. This balcony is a perfect place to see the setting of the sun.

And lastly, she showed me my room. It was a passive room.

"This room was previously occupied by my cousin Anna. I bet Koko told that to you." she said. No he hasn't!

"I'll leave you here to fix your things. There's a bathroom just a door away from you." She said and left me.

I decided to have a shower. As soon as I got in the bathroom, I met the mirror and a sink, a bath tub and a shower. Not bad. I started removing my blonde wig and washed my face until the make up vanished. I faced the mirror and it reflected a very handsome and wealthy man. Wealthy for he was the son of the famous business man, Mr. Hyuuga. My real name is Natsume Hyuuga and I escaped from my father's hands from being the heir of his property. My fake boobs were a silicon gel. I really hate this kind of disguise. And off to make my quality time to clean myself.

After taking a shower, I went to the balcony I mentioned a while ago. It was past afternoon so I get to watch the setting of the sun. The breeze was perfect. No loud noises could be heard, only the crashing of the waves to the shore.

Yet, peacefulness has ceased when a sound of footsteps was heard. I found it was . . . Mikaela. Was that Mikaela? She was lazily carrying a book and a pencil. And tumbled her way to the living room's table and started scratching her head. I approached her quietly and she didn't seem to notice my presence beside her. I can see she was having algebraic problem.

"OH! This is worst than being wrestled by a steroid mama!" she groaned.

Then and there she noticed my presence.

"Oh hi Natsuko! Sorry for acting violent."

I shook my head and tried reaching the highest tone of my voice. "No, I too get head ache seeing math problems." That was a lie.

"Umm," she started to blush, "could you help me?"

I bent over her and started getting snatching her pencil from her hands.

"Hey umm.. Mikaela?"

"Mikan." She snapped. Oh the humiliation…

"Sorry. Could you check this? Negative 10x minus 20x is negative 30x right?" I said.

"Oh yeah! I never thought of that. Sorry." She said.

Oh c'mon! This is a basic algebraic expression. Is she that dumb or just playing like an idiot?

Mikan's POV

I nod my head oftenly showing that I understood what she was talking about. She was too close to me that I could smell her fragrance. This perfume wasn't like what I smelled before but it looks familiar. Was it a guy's perfume? Her hair fell from her shoulder and it smelled nothing but dust. Then I took a glimpse of her face and found her inches away from me. She noticed it too and blushed. She quickly shook her head and stood up.

"Umm, I think I should cook our dinner." She said and smiled.

I was snapped. "Oh no! I should cook for you!"

"No, since I'm your new house mate, you should see how I cook!" she said and made her way to the kitchen.

She started looking at the ingredients I have in the fridge and finally had an idea of the dish to cook tonight. I wonder what she'll cook. Then she started getting some stuffs for her recipe. I made my way to the dining table and watched her cook. She has a professional way of cooking; and how angelic she moves. Her long gold hair flipped every now and then. She had quick hand in cooking and that made it more awesome.

"Darn it. Stupid wig! Always blocking my way!" Natsume thought.

Then she was finished. It smelled oh-so-great! She placed the dish in front of me. How did she find all these ingredients inside my fridge? Are these ingredients found in my refrigerator?

"Mmm… it smells good!" I complemented.

"Of course. Cooking is a way to win girls' heart." She said.

"What?" what is she talking about?

"Uhh… ohh nothing!" she replied nervously.

Okay, that was weird. But then I started munching over the food that was served. She didn't eat much unlike me. Maybe that's why she has little curves and has weird big muscles than I do.

Before going to our perspective rooms, we waved at each other and say good night. It wasn't bad to be with her. In fact, I'm starting to like her as my new house mate.

Natsume's POV

I dialed the number of Koko to give him news. He told me to update him every night… as much as possible. The phone rang twice and he answered it.

"Natsume?"

"Hey Koko."

"So how did you find that place?"

"It's not bad."

"Can she notice your moves?"

"I don't think so. She looks like an idiot for me."

He laughed. "Just tell me if there's a progress between you." and gave a chuckled. Progress?

"What do you mean progress?"

"You know! If you feel like she likes you." he said, chuckling.

"How could that happen when I masked as a girl?" I snapped.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Then vise versa instead!"

I sighed in disbelief. "You know if you're here, I must've already punched you."

"Na-ah! I'm here in the airport. I'm going to follow Anna in France."

"What?! You didn't tell me that!" I growled. I hope Mikan didn't here me.

"I'm going to meet her parents! I hope they will like me!" He said.

I didn't want any further discussions about it and put down my phone. I'm burning with anger right now. He told me he'll find another house for me to live in, and now he informed me he'll be following her stupid girl friend? Hell…

Hope you enjoyed it! I hope you already know who's behind the mask of Natsuko? So, how will they fall in love with each other when he was disguised as a girl? Hmm… Dunno too…
