here's the 2nd chp! hope you enjoy, ladies and gentleman!
(Mikan sakura POV)
the walk to my class was a bit disturbing. Even though I wasn't in Yuuki's form, I could still sense a person following me.
it didn't take me long enough to know that person was actually Natsume Hyuuga.
I bared with it until I arrive in front of my class. He even followed me until I was inside my class. I took my seat and take out my laptop. He was still watching me while I was writing a lyric that just popped inside my head.
Because I couldn't take it anymore, the bomb in my head explode. "Do you mind going back to your class. You are really getting on my nerves!" I slammed my laptop and turned my head my east to look at him.
He didn't look bothered by it. He was looking…smug a bit. "Hey polka, have you forgotten that I study in this class? You're not the only student in this class, you know?"
He actually caught me dumbfounded. Wait a second, I thought to my self. Wasn't there was a boy by the name of Hyuuga in my class and sat at the far edge of the room?
My eyes were wide with disbelieve. "Wait, you mean to tell me that you're the Hyuuga in my class?"
His face was clearly mocking me. "Duh. You are such a doorknob. I can't believe that you could actually not know that? What a pity…yes. I am the Hyuuga and only Hyuuga on this class and school."
Darn. Well, that ought to teach me a lesson. Always pay attention to who is in your class. "Well, just stay away from me Hyuuga. Stay at least 30 meter away from me." I let my eyes stared back at my laptop and start tapping on the keys.
I knew he was still glaring at me judging by what Yuuki told me. she said she sense that somebody was glaring at me. well, even if she didn't tell me, the death aura was hard to ignored.
I didn't look back at him though. I just focused on whatever it was that Jinno was talking about. Thank god I did.
"Sakura, how do you solve this question using Pythogoras Theorem?" he indicated to the triangle he drew on the black board.
Sigh. I went to the board and write down the answer. It was walk in the park for me( is that right?)
When I was sure I had the answer correct, I went back to my seat. I smirked a bit –a habit I pick from Yuuki—when he seemed unwillingly tick my answer correct. Hah! Take that, jin-jin.
The glaring got worse because now there's two people glaring at me until the math period was over. After a long thirty minutes listening to Jin-jin blabbering, I pack all of my stuff, sling my bag to my shoulder and got out of class.
When I arrived at the gate, Yuuki immediately alert me about an evil presence. I didn't have time to changer to Yuuki because when I was half done doing it, a sharp pain got onto my neck. Slowly, I sunk into the darkness I have lived with.
(* * *)
Mama, papa, don't leave me…Tsubasa-onichan. Youichi-onichan. Help me…
"Ah!" I screamed as I snapped from the dream. All I could see was white.
My mind always works slow when I just woke up. I looked to my left and nothing. I looked to my right and I saw a boy with a little bird on his head. What the hell was my first impression.
"Don't worry. I'm not a bad person. Don't worry. You're safe here with me" the boy assured me.
I didn't notice he said that at first because I was suddenly focus on his hand. He was holding me hand!
I quickly jerked away from him. He looked stuttered. "Don't you dare touch me." I warn him while trying to act tough like Yuuki always were.
"I'm sorry. Its just…that, you looked like you needed it, so, I…just…" he seemed lost for words.
"no, its okay. Just don't do that again." I said while trying to get my back up. He tried to help but I ignored it.
Then, my vision was very clear. I looked around the room I'm in. there was nothing special in it. Just a huge painting on the wall of a sakura tree, and a long black couch near the king-sized bed I was in.
I looked around me again. There was two doors at each end of the room. All in all, the room was almost as big as mine. Only, I have more things in it.
"Where am I?" was the first thing I asked bird boy
"The name's Ruka. Ruka Nogi. You're inside mine and Natsume's apartment. This is his room. Don't worry, he's not here right now." He added when he saw me in distress. I sighed in relief.
I began looking around again but not for the same reason as before.
"Oh, here's your bag." He handed me my bag. He's nice and such a gentleman unlike somebody…
I took a looked at my watch. It was three in the evening. Time for my meds. I searched for my meds inside my bag. Nothing. I searched again. Nothing.
That's weird. I always have my meds with me. I searched inside my school uniform's pocket and finally found it.
"Ruka, can you please get me a glass of water?" I ask while taking out two pills from the bottle.
He didn't say anything. He just went to the door on the west and unlocked it. From what I can see, it was a bathroom. Similar to mine. He opens the tap and filled the glass beside it with water.
He locked the door and came back to me. I took it graciously. Here goes nothing, I thought to my self.
I throw the pills into my mouth and swallowed it quickly with water. I handed back the empty glass to Ruka and put the meds back into my pocket. "Thanks, Ruka"
He shook his head. "No problem." He put the glass down at the small table beside me.
Oh well, I have nothing to do anymore so I might as well leave, I decide. I got out of the bed cover that covered me and slid my bag to my shoulder.
I was about to walk to the other door but was stopped by Ruka.
"Where are you going?"
isn't it obvious? "Home, of course."
He looked worried now. "I'm sorry but you can't go. Natsume told me to feed you a bit and he told you to wait here for him until he comes back in another hour."
He looked very worried and since he treated me so well, I couldn't bear to decline so I just nodded. He sighed in relief. His face was cute when he did that. I chuckled a bit under my breath but the bird boy got a good ear.
"What's so funny?" he looked puzzled now.
"Nothing much." I lied as I put back my bag at the small table. I didn't want to hurt his feeling.
He seemed to accept it. Ruka stood up from the chair he was sitting on and opened the door for me. Very kind of him. Unlike that jerk Hyuuga…
He showed me the way to the kitchen. It was small yet nice. I sat on one of the chairs while my eyes were still inspecting the surrounding.
Ruka poured something into two bowls and put it in front of me and in front of him as he took a chair in front of me.
I began digging into the chicken porridge. It was absolute delicious. Warm. "Did you just cook this, Ruka?"
He seemed surprised by that question. He swallowed his portion before answering me. "Yeah. I made it just before you wake up. Why, does it taste bad?"
I shook my head fast now. "No. actually, it's really delicious. Really. It is!" I added when I saw him disbelieving it.
After that, neither of us said anything. We ate in silence. It wasn't like during those very rare time when I ate with my parent. This is more like it was natural yet comforting. When I eat with my parent, it was more like tense.
In just twenty minutes, I finished with the porridge. Ruka was done with his as well.
"Do you want more? I made more." He asked me as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"No, its okay. I'm full already." I stood up and was about to pick up both of our bowls but he stopped me again.
"No, its okay. Let me do it." He took mine and his bowls to the sink near the fridge.
"Are you sure? I mean, you already cook and-" he didn't even let me finish.
"Don't worry. You just go and rest in my room. It's the room beside Nastume's." he didn't look at me when he said that. He just began washing the dishes.
I didn't say anything more. I just made my way to his room when suddenly, I stumbled into a room that's door is slightly open.
Curiosity over powered me. I opened the door wider and saw a grand piano. My feet just took me to it unconsciously.
It's been a while since I last touched a grand piano. I brushed my finger along the keys. Good, it's still in a nice shape.
I took a seat and began letting my fingers run through the keys. I just began playing a random song that popped into my head.
It was the song that I abandon a long time ago but now –I have no idea how—I could play the song without shedding any tears as soon as I played it.
But, no matter how good I am, I would still cry about it at one point. Tears start swelling on my eyes and I knew that the waterworks were going to explode not long after this.
It finally did after a few minutes. My hands stop playing and went to my eyes, covering my face.
There it is. That feeling. The feeling of wanting to cry all out and forget about the rest of the world just for a while.
As I cry, memories of the people I love started flowing through my mind. My father who used to think to love me with all his heart, my brothers who would always be by my side when my parents aren't around, my friends that I used to have and most of all, my late mother…
A small part of me was wondering who was the boy who began hugging me as I cry but I didn't care. All I want to do right now is just cry like the day I was first born into this world.
