be prepare guys. that's all i'm saying right now...ja..
(Still Mikan's POV)
The trip to this restaurant was hell enough. The thought of me being in the restaurant with me being completely surrounded, unable to run away was beyond me. and…unfortunately, it came true.
I am currently being completely surrounded at the infront door of a restaurant that I don't know the name because, for me, it was too tedious to think about when I had to confess any minute now.
"Let's go, polka dot." Natsume said. I didn't even bother reacting because I was too deep in my thinking. Yes, just a few minute just now in the car, Yuuki begged me to switch with her.
Yuuki is a fearless person but when it comes to confessing a thing that she knows that I don't, that's when the chickeness kicks in.
"And don't even think to run away" he threathened me when he notices that I was looking around. Probably for escape. Drat his insight.
I sighed. Now its time to leave it to fate. IF FATE didn't hate me enough.
When we reach the table that I had no idea Natsume could get so fast, every one made sure that my face could look at the door. I could see it but I couldn't use it. Curse Natsume and his status.
A waiter came to us. She was about 19 to 25. probably fresh out of collage and the sad part it, even though I was told I was beautiful by every guy in the school, I still don't think I am.
People keep saying I'm acting nicely-snobby cause they think they know that I know that I'm 'beautiful' but I wont admit it. And I don't. I see myself in the mirror all I could think of is this is the face of a murderer.
All of us put our orders in. I knew that the waiter was trying to flirt with the guys but they didn't even gave her the benefit of a look. Pity.
The waiter was gone with a dissatisfied face. Somehow, that pleases me.
(Seat Arrangement order: their backs facing the door, Natsume, Hotaru, Ruka and Anna. Narumi and Mikan infront of them so they can see the door)
All four of them,even Ruka, got slighlt nearer to me. "Speak. Now" they say as if it was absolute.
I hate my luck. I sigh. "Where do u want me to start?" I said while trying to ease the tension that was growing bigger by the second.
"From the start." Hotaru and Anna pushed. I got a brilliant idea to get back at Hyuuga for kidnapping me.
I smirk. I was too busy enjoying the moment ,that a minute ago I dreaded, to see the look on Hyuuga's face. "I got kidnapped by Hyuuga and his friend after he heard me singing on the roof top."
I stopped to enjoy Natsume's reaction. It was so good, I wish it was taped so that I could show the whole word. His face was mixed between angry that was showing and shocked that was also showing well.
Anna quickly stood up and grab his collar. "How dare u kidnapped Mikan, huh! well, little boy, do u wish for an early death? If so, then don't bother waiting for her siblings and family. I'm more than enough." Her voice sounded like it had daggers in it.
Did I mention that Anna comes from a line of fighters. Her ancestors was ninjas and samurai. her grandfather was a ninja himself. Her father is the Japan's president/minister military's advisor. Her mother owns dojos around the world and his brother Tsubasa is the current world champion on Karate. Of course Anna is Japan's Woman Champion on Karate.
I didn't know why but Anna suddenly let him go. A shame that is. I wish I could kick him in the butt but that's Yuuki's job.
Before I could start again, the waiter came with our drinks. None of us looked at her and none of us are eating anything. All of us ordered drinks only. I drank mine first until it was half left.
"Fine. Natsume here gave me an oppurtunity to be a 'star.' I thought, well, Yuuki as well thought that it may be good to use it as a pass time since I am sick of having to deal with the company any longer. I took it with a few terms of my own. That's it, then I went to see you guys and voula, here we are. Bumping to each other because these guys have bad stalking ability. Well, mostly Natsume" I wanted to torture Natsume more and I didn't want Ruka to hate me so I added "You and Ruka were very good."
"What are these terms?" Hotaru ask. Narumi suddenly took out an envelop from his case and showed it to her. Hotaru look a bit in a doubt but when she saw the content, she became relax and even crack a smile if you look very, very, closely.
She gave it to Anna to read and she too became relax and smirk. She put it back inside the envelop and gave it back to Narumi. I wonder what it is. Guess I'll ask later.
"fine, I'll let her sing on one condition. I become her agent instead of lunatic here."Hotaru said with her arms crossed on her chest.
"Deal. i am an agent for Koko and Natsume anyway. It'll be less work for me." Narumi agreed. I hate him for it.
"And I become Mikan's bodyguard and personal assitant." Anna added. why? she knew perfectly well i dont need a bodyguard. i could defend myself. why?
Narumi didn't say anything and just nodded. He clapped his hand and all of a sudden, the tension dissappeared. "Well, we must be going now. Its almost ten. We've been her for almost two hours now.
(the restaurant is not at the mall they were in. it was at somewhere else. It took them 1 hours and 30 minutes to arrive at the restaurant. The fight was about 7)
I checked my watch. Darn it. Its still early to go back home. Darn it. What am I going to say? what am i going to do?
(Anna's POV)
I saw Black looking at her watch and I knew what she was thinking. She didn't want to go back and face the witch so early. The witch was probably bossing every single servant around.
Thank god Tsubasa and Youichi is so independent. They both left the house and founded a job for themselves. Modeling. Not that hard for them to search for it because they have been getting offers for years but was too occupied to do it.
Now that the witch is in the picture, they gave it a go. Good for them. And it was about to be good for Mikan too.
"Hey, Mikan, why don't you and I sleep and Hotaru's place today? That way, you don't have to deal with the woman." I wanted her mind to be an undisturbed place by the thinking of that woman.
Her face instantly shined up. "Really?! Oh, thank you, Anna! Can we, Hotaru???"
Hotaru also knew about the situation but pretend to be indifferent. 'Whatever. Just make sure you sleep on the couch."
She's always saying that but she would always ley Mikan sleep beside her. I'm the onewho sleeps on the couch. Poor little me. jerks.
(Natsume's POV)
why is that girl looking so happy??it's anoyying! and most of all, she keeps looking at RUKA! that irritates me the most. i mean, i'm just as hot as he is, right?
so why is she still lookin at him?! and with a BLUSH EVERY SINGLE TIME!
ugh! i quickly stood up from the chair. "Let's go, polka dots." I empathize on the word polka dots. only i am allowed to get her attention.
who says so?
shut up, concious.
"NATSUME. YOU PERVERTIC PSYCHOPATH OF A JERK. YOU'RE THE SAME AS TSUBASA!" for a second, i was happy she screamed until all eyes were on us but it all went down the drain when i heard the name.
what did she mean by i'm the same as Tsubasa? and who is that guy? looks like Inchou will be working over time today. i'm gonna make sure of it.
you're obsessive...
didnt i told you to shut it?
i can't and i wont because, I think you already knew this but too egoist to admit it.
boy, you are seriously, stalkerly, obsessively in love.
LOE.
that's what you feel when you saw her cry. a part of it you felt when you heard that Tsubasa name. love mixed with jelousy
but, but...
no buts! now, go and console her cuz she's screaming she wont get married. why dont you marry her then?
are you nuts! we're only seventeen!
are u an idiot? if u cant marry, then propose. what's so hard about it?
well mister i-know-it-all, hmm, lets see, what's so hard about it. oh yeah. EVERYTHING IN THE DEFINETE SENSE OF EVERYTHING!
chill. i can hear you just fine without u having to scream mindless screaming.
since you can hear just fine, then hear this...
what,what????
shut up.
"Hey, polka, you were the one who showed it to me."i acted trying to be all innocent.
"NO I DIDNT! And even if i did, why would i do that?" her face looked sarcasmish.
"Because you think i'm hot."
"ahah." she scoffed. that made me boil a bit. just a bit. "never does and never will. you got that, Natsume?"
she called me by my name...wait. didnt she already use my name just now during her confession to the weird girls? even so, i do wish she would use it in a line that is more nicer.
told you so.
shut it, brain boy.
you lunatic. i'm not a boy. i'm a girl.
whatever. i dont care if you're a girl or a boy.
jerk!
like i said, what ever.
"Lets get going. its getting colder. i dont wanna be in freezing cold just for a polka." she cried even louder. i wonder what she would sound like when she laughs. i really wonder. i tries imagening her smiling and laughing.
i couldnt see much when she was smiling happily with her mates because there were always other people blocking the view.
go figure for all those people.
the Anna girl began hugging polka and dragging her outside the restaurant. the rest of us followed. Narumi payed for everything. it wasnt much. just about 500 dollar.(a/n: all those just for drinks. amazing how the world goes.)
i smiled a bit, in my heart of course when i saw Mikan smiling after Anna promised her that she would kill me tomorrow. she said something about meeting polka's parent tomorrow with us.
so touching. just like me and Ruka. always there for each other.
WAIT! why am i getting all mushed up!!!
Natsume Hyuuga. YOURE LOOSING YOUR COOL MOJO!
duh. did you just notice , you are so stupid
i'm not answering you anymore.
but you just answered me
no i'm not
but you just-
zip it brain girl
okay. well, do me the honour of killing yourself in the process
....
(Normal POV)
"Well, later boys." Hotaru and Anna said together when all of us were inside the car driven by Mochu.
"See you tomorrow at 10 am at your house, Sakura, Anna, Hotaru." Ruka and Narumi said. when Ruka said Hotaru's name, Anna and Natsume sensed something.
Natsume just reply with a "hn'
Hotaru closed the door and off they went leaving three of the most wanted bachelor in the whole of Japan.
the 3 of the boys just hopped into Narumi's Mercedes and drove of to Natsume and Ruka's apartment.
of course, Narumi did the driving.
(the girls)
"So, Mikan, tomorrow is your mother's birthday and her death anniversary, right? are you going to the grave like always?" Hotaru asked.
"Yeah. i haven't talk to mom since half a year ago so, yeah, i'm going tomorrow." Mikan said. Yuuki was wide awake now and all of them could hear the sadness in her voice.
"Mikan. Lets celebrate your 14th birthday tomorrow. your mom would want that. i know she would. "Anna said carefully.
"I dont want to. i hate my birthday because, i'm at fault for my mom's death and everybody know it. Especially dad." now, her tears are shed again. twice in a day. how sad it is.
the darkness finally came crashing down on me.
(flashback)
"Mommy, mommy! happy birthday mommy!!" the little brunete girl gave her mother ,who was lying on her bed, a card made at school and a gift wrapped present.
"thank you, Mikan. and happy birthday- cough- to you-cough-too. you're finally 9 now. here." Yuka opened the present. it was a composition that the little girl created exclusively for her dearest mother. in Yuka's heart, she could already hear the music in her head. that was one of the reason why the world knows her as the Music Lady.
Yuka suddenly begin to unlock the pendant that she was wearing. it was a treble clef pendant. on the place that were supposed to have the swirly round part, it was replace with a heartshape pendant.. so, its kinda like a combination of treble clef and heart.
Yuka put it on Mikan's palm and the little girl opened it. it was a happy picture of her father holing her up and her mother wrapping her arms around them. they looked tremendously happy.
"Mikan, the pendants shape mean that, no matter what happen, never lose your love and passion-cough- for-cough, cough- music. promise-cough-me that."
"I promise,mommy. i'll take good care of the of it. i promise i will keep on loving music" Mikan said with a baby voice. she climbed onto her bed and sat beside her. the both of them were eating their chocolate cake as Mikan tells her about what happen at Harvard that day.
the happy moment they shared was broke into peices when Mikan's mother began coughing blood. Mikan panicked and quickly called in the personal nurse and doctor that were always 24/7 alerts in their mansion.
while waiting for them to come, Mikan just stood beside her mother and holding her hand. in her little heart, she deeply wished that her mother would be alive.
the doctor and nurses came in and gently pushed her away. even though Mikan couldnt see, she sill understood everything that the doctors said. she had learned everything there is to know about medicine in harvard.
finally, after paintakingly a long time, Yuka's face was covered. Mikan knew but didnt want to accep it. she slowly took every little step to the back. after the 5th step, she bumps into a guy none other than her father whom she loved and admire so much.
Yukihara Sakura. the president of the main branch of the world leading everything-you-can-fine company. they sell everything. from the latest toys to the latest tech such as a talking robot and so on.
but none of this matters because right now, the powerful man is crying beside his wife's death bed.
he thought of something and quickly grab Mikan by her neck and pushed her to the floor.
the nurses and doctors tried to get him off but nobody could do anything because he was a former chief if japan's gangster.
Mikan could barely breath. the doctors struggle helped her breath. but, it didnt matter because her own father was looking at her with such a hatred looking eyes.
"YOU MONSTER! YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED MY WIFE. YOUR MOTHER! DIE!!!" he was so enraged that he forgotten that she was the only family he had left.
"i didnt...kill...her..." and with that, she drifted into a coma for a week only to miss her mother's funeral.
(end of flashback)
(Anna's POV)
Mikan must be having that dream again because she was muttering things like she didnt kill her and all that. it pains her to see this little girl weight so many burden.
When they arrived at the mansion, Hotaru told me to carry her to her bed.
I nodded and carried her up to the 3rd floow without many hardships because Mikan is incredebly light for a 14 year old girl.
Hotaru was beside me the whole time. the maid opened the door for me and I quickly went and gently put Mikan on the bed. Hotaru and I changed our cloth to midnight gown.
When we were about to climb onto the bed with Mikan between us, we heard her mutter 'I promise mom. i promise to keep loving music from now on..' and tears falls to her face.
Hotaru wiped the tear and i hugged Mikan gently. "I'll always be there for you, Mikan. Dont u ever forget that."i said.
before i went to sleep after closing the light, i thought i hear Hotaru said "Dont be scared. We'll always be here whenever you need us to be. no matter what"
the both of us hugged her and slept peacefully...
so, how was that? now u finally know half the past. i will reveal on the ongoing chp on another past. keep those fingers tappin reveiws!!!
