Chapter 11:
'This Feeling When I'm With My Uncle Natsume' –Youichi's Thoughts
Mikan and her child Youichi rode the car, it was going to be a long trip, maybe about 8 hours. As soon as Mikan sat on her seat on the car, she quickly closed her eyes for her to feel sleepy and sleep, trying to avoid questions that she was expecting from Natsume.
But on the other hand, Youichi was doing the opposite, he didn't sleep nor closed his eyes, he looked out of the window and saw beautiful sceneries, he kept on saying 'Sugoi!"
Natsume noticed this, he didn't miss the part on thinking how cute Mikan's baby is until there came a time when he cannot stop his words anymore, he blurted out, "What's your name? You're really cute.." Said Natsume tapping Youichi's back.
"Youichi Sakura Hyuuga-sama" Answered Youichi respectfully, of course, being with his mother for 5 years already, Mikan didn't forget to teach him about manners.
Natsume laughed, "You don't have to call me that name Youichi, I want you to call me Uncle Natsume okay? Anyway, you have a nice name, you're also very handsome.."
"Arigato Hyu- I mean.. hehe.. I mean uncle Natsume!"
But then Natsume stopped talking with him when he remembered what Youichi said a while ago, 'Youichi Sakura Hyuuga-sama' Eh! Why Youichi SAKURA? Doesn't he have to take the surname of his father?
"Youichi-kun?"
Youichi looked at Natsume, again, he felt a different happiness inside him, it was different, different from the other happiness he had with others, it felt like his Uncle Natsume was someone important in his life, important in him, he felt like…. He was a relative of his, he felt like he was his father… "Nani?"
Natsume smiled, he too felt a different kind of happiness and he doesn't know, but of course, he just ignored it, thinking of the fact that that boy already has a father, "Why is your name Youichi SAKURA? Don't you have to take the surname of your father?"
Youichi frowned and felt sad, he never liked those kinds of question, especially when people ask about his father, but even though he wanted to lie about this to his Uncle Natsume, he can't, he doesn't know why but he just can't, "I- I …. I don't have a father… I don't know who's my father…"
Natsume's eyes burst wide, WHAT! "What do you mean? When you were born you never saw your father or do you mean that you're just adopted?" Natsume asked without noticing the words that were coming out of his mouth.
"My real mother is her" Pointing at Mikan, "But she never told me about my father, whenever I'm going to ask her about it, she'll get teary eyes and I hate it, then, she'll cover her eyes with her hands and go to the bathroom, closing the door, she'll cry there, so therefore, I must change the subject…"
Natsume was surprised at the little boy's words, he was just 5 and … he was so smart, "You mean..? You don't really have a clue who is your father?"
"Nope…" Youichi answered, sadness in his voice.
By this time, Mikan was starting to wake up already, but she really was waken up by her son, "MAMA!"
Mikan opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Youichi, she hugged him, "Did I sleep for a long time?"
Youichi just nodded, then he looked back at his uncle Natsume, again, he found himself wondering why he can feel this kind of happiness when he looks at him or talks with him.
Mikan noticed Youichi look at Natsume, she blushed a little, "So… I guess you talked to each other a while ago while I'm sleeping huh?"
Natsume and Youichi nodded but Natsume felt anger creeping from his heart, he was aching to ask Mikan who was the father of Youichi, he was to desperate to ask it that he can't stop it anymore, he bursted out, "Mikan, who's the father of your son?" He covered his mouth when he realized what he just said.
Mikan felt her heart beat fast, the fastest for the past 5 years, her heart was in pain, she wanted to answer him but she just can't, she started to cry, she covered her eyes with her bag and she just started to sob.
"Gomen, gomen!" Natsume apologized, he bent down and raised Mikan's face, he wiped Mikan's tears with his handkerchief, he cannot stop his actions anymore.
Youichi just stared at the two adults' actions infront of him, those actions were different, he knew it, there was something there, in their eyes, he could see them, he just continued to look.
Mikan took of Natsume's hand of her face even if its hard for her to do, "Natsume, you already have a fiancé, we're through for 5 years already, we're in a business trip, nothing more than that, don't you play with me again" She said in a cold toned voice.
He felt hurt with Mikan's words, it really struck him hard, harder than before because now he sees a child with her. "Gomen.."
