Loving has never been that easy… Especially when that person has never felt to be loved.

Author's Notes: Okay, I decided to put a part I and a part II of this chapter because I planned to prolong it. So I hope my readers wouldn't mind…
So here's the part where you've all been waiting for (I think?) the scene of Ryu and Mikan's break up and the trill part, and some gory scenes… (joke...)
Warning: I'm warning the readers! Please brace yourselves for the next scenes your gonna read.Don't tell me I didn't warn you! (nah it wont happen... XD)

How Do You Heal a Broken Heart?
By: unnamed cat
Chapter 3Bad Intentions
™-----------------------------------------------------------------™
…"I love you, Natsume."…
Hotaru and Mikan ended their chat when the clock turned 5 o'clock. She was supposed to meet Ryu for their dinner. She already planned on breaking up with him. She decided not to make a fool out of him by not telling him the truth. She had to fix her self up. She asked Hotaru for help.
"Ok Hotaru. You choose the dress I'm gonna wear and I'll go take a bath. I won't be long. Promise!" with that she entered her bathroom and sank in the tub of warm water.
She was scrubbing her back and her elbows and her knees. She hummed as she does this stuff. She thought of what had happened between her and Natsume. She smiled. She heard a knock on her door.
"What is it? Is that you Hotaru?"
"Mikan could you make it fast a little? I don't presume that you have been sleeping again. Have you?" Hotaru said coldly.
"I'm nearly through." She shouted a little.
™-------------------------------------------------------™
"So? Is this fine with you?" Mikan asked Hotaru after she pony tailed her hair.
"No. It was better off down." Hotaru replied as she pulled the ribbon.
"There. Now, is it fine?" Mikan asked as she combed it once more.
"Yeah, it's fine." Hotaru was really amused by Mikan's sudden change of appearance, from a nosey little girl to a teenaged lady. Anyway, it did suit her, perfectly.
"Ok Hotaru thanks a lot. I have to put on my final touches." She giggled with her idea.
"Just update me in everything." 'Which I am sure she would do…' Hotaru said as she turned her back from Mikan.
"Okay Hotaru…" Mikan replied with a sweet smile on her cute face.
Of course, even though Hotaru promised not to eavesdrop ever again… She just can't and never will. So she placed a tiny chip on the strap of Mikan's brassiere, which she didn't notice.
'Invention No. 164 'The Mini Spy', it can eavesdrop any conversation or talk happening to whoever has it. But there is no live video included in the package, with a pink butterfly case. Only for 500 rabbits buy now. Each sold separately.' The Hotaru chibi narrated out of nowhere.
™--------------------------------------------------------™
"There, finally I'm finished!" Mikan said as she flipped her gorgeous hair back. "I really need to get going or else Ryu might be worried."
She got hold of her purse and closed the door.
"Natsume, she has left the room go to the desired post right now." Ruka motioned for him to move.
In an instance, Natsume followed Mikan and reached Ryu. He stood outside the window just enough to see or hear what was occurring. Ruka summoned his animals and the mice entered the room and hid. Mikan arrived just in time.
Knock! Knock!
"Ryu? I'm here." Mikan said as she knocked.
Ryu opened the door and at once welcomed Mikan in.
"I thought you wouldn't come I got really scared." Ryu whispered as he gave Mikan a peck on the cheeks.
"Well… Ryu, the thing is… I wanted to tell you something." Mikan started.
"Let's eat first before we talk about anything." He smiled at her. 'Cause you're gonna need strength!' he thought.
™----------------------------------------------------------------™
Ruka called Hotaru on her mobile phone to inform her of what they were doing. He dialed her number.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Who are you and what do you want?" Hotaru said coldly.
"Imai, it's me Ruka."
"So why'd you call?"
"It's Mikan. She's in great danger!"
"But she's with Ryu! How can that be?"
"That's why she's in danger!"
"Why?"
Ruka explained the plot of Ryu's plans on Mikan and told Hotaru to meet him and Natsume. She hurriedly packed her things and the device that was operating the Mini Spy.
"If that Ryu touches a single hair in Mikan's body he can choose to be animal food, toasted body or parts of a new invention! I swear I'm gonna—"
"Hotaru." Ruka whispered.
"Ruka why'd you call her?" Natsume asked.
"We need assistance and she's right on the job."
"Fine."
The three of them looked at Mikan from the window and Hotaru listened to the conversation.
™-----------------------------------------------------------------™
"So Ryu I just wanted to tell you something." Mikan started a conversation.
"What is it?" Ryu replied. Even though he kind of got an idea of what it was.
"You see. I really liked you. But it's just that, you reminded me of him. If you know what I mean?" Mikan was still hesitant to finish her confession. She didn't want to ruin his night instantly, but it would be anyway.
"It's just that, well Ryu…"
"Mikan what are you talking about? Of course it's ok for me." He said out of the blue in an I-know-what's-happening tone.
"You do?!"
"Yes of course." He put down his fork and drank his European beverage. (a/n: imagine at the age of 15 he's already drinking hard liquor!)
"Well then if you do understand. I should say thank you for everything." She moved her chair and walked out the dining room.
"Wait Mikan."
"What is it?"
"Could you stay here for a little longer?" he pleaded.
"Why?"
"I just want to have a companion here."
"Ok."
He walked to the kitchen.
"I'll just get us something better to drink." He called out.
"Yeah sure. I'll wait here."
He prepared everything. He opened the bottle of pills and placed 2 on one glass. He stirred and grinned.
'You're going to be mine before you become his!' he thought greedily.
™------------------------------------------------------------------™
"Oh Ryu, I just want to say… I'm really sorry." She whispered.
She dropped her purse and bent down to get it. She spotted a familiar case and walked near it. She grabbed the case and opened to see its content.
"Oh my God!" she gasp.
"This is… my picture of Nat—Natsume. How did… oh no!" she was terrified.
She hid the picture to her purse and as quickly as she could pretend nothing had happened.
™------------------------------------------------------------------™
"Mikan are you ok?" Ryu asked from the kitchen.
She tried hard not to sound peculiar.
"Ye— yes I'm doing great."
"Ok then."
™------------------------------------------------------------™
"Did you just hear that Natsume?" Ruka asked his best friend as he gave him a soft tug. "He has the picture Mikan took of you when you were sleeping. That was the only one she has."
"Yes I've heard it. I don't damn care as long as she's still alright." Natsume said coldly.
"Hey Ruka."
"What now Hotaru?"
"Do you know Ryu's alice?" she asked.
"Now that you've asked… I don't."
"Well I know."
Natsume seemed interested.
"He has the alice to copy the appearance of a human being from a memory of anybody he kisses. It's not pretty dangerous but when exposed to the real person he copied, and when I said close I mean body to body, he goes back to his original form." Hotaru narrated.
"That means…he just copied you Natsume! He's a fake! An impostor! But wait… Tsubasa said he was his brother. Is Tsubasa his accomplice?" Ruka was shown confused.
"No Ruka maybe he had another accomplish who tricked Tsubasa. Once I've seen him with a guy named Muro. He had a brain control Alice and a little permanent one if not stopped." Hotaru answered him again.
"So that explains everything." Natsume whispered.
"No not yet everything." Hotaru whispered back.
™----------------------------------------------------------------------™
'Ok Mikan how are you going to say this to Ryu? How are you going to tell him in a way that he won't get hurt?' Mikan was thinking real hard.
A fact, she knows that she don't exactly know what to do. And another fact, she doesn't understand why! The only fiction is that she is trapped in this oh-so-tempting place and can't resist.
™------------------------------------------------------------------------™
"Hey Mikan, are you ok?" Ryu asked as he gave her, her drink.
"Yes I'm fine. It's just that it's so nice and all… you really prepared for something… why?"
"Well… temptation is never tempting when ugly, as my father would say. I just wanted this night to be special… for the both of us." Ryu said as he held her hand.
"But Ryu, I thought you understood?"
"Of course, I do. That it's not me you love now…"
"Then why?"
"I just wanna say thank you to you. And that I still love you Mikan." He was so soothing for her.
"But…"
"No more buts. Let's enjoy the night while you still can."
'What did he meant by you?' Mikan thought. She drank her beverage.
'What the, I feel dizzy.'
"Ryu…" she murmured.
"It's alright Mikan don't resist. You'll enjoy don't worry too much I'm here." Ryu whispered closer to her.
"Ryu no don't please." With that she sank to the darkness.
Hypnotized
All was black
"Darn you Ryu! Mikan, I'm coming don't worry." Natsume had to save her this time it's now or never.
"Ruka… Hotaru… stay here I'm going in!"
