hey guys. i know, i know, i broke my promise with you guys. i'll try not to do that anymore. just so you know, the reason why Natsume was shocked that he didnt know who's Tsubasa is is because even though he knows mikan has 2 brothers, he doesnt know what their name is. and even though Tsubasa is a perverted person, he is actually not. only mikan thinks that because Tsubasa likes to comment on her always being chat flested. that is all.
(Mikan's POV)
When I woke up, the only thing that was on my mind was 'Darn it. Its an hour to 10'. I'm suppose to be at my house getting ready for the trio to come.
I sneakily got off from the bed and took all of my belongings with me. before I go, I kissed both Anna and Hotaru's forehead.
When I turned to the door, my hand were pulled from behind and I was dragged back to the bed.
"And where do u think you're going, Black?" of, it was Anna. She whispered at my ear.
"Do you think we'll let you go that easily?" Hotaru smack my head with her air conditioner remote control.
I rubbed my precious head and sulk. "Mou, Hotaru, why do u have to do that? aren't I'm your friend?"
She turned her back to me. I smiled a little. "Heh, guess you think me as a friend. I thought so. Blue is really going blue." I teased her.
And the price for that is a shot from the infamous Baka Gun that her father, the Sakura Corp creative designer and head engineer of the main branch.
I didn't have time to waste so I swiftly got of the bed. "Well, as you guys must have know, I have an appointment today at my house. Later guys"
Hotaru and Anna unsurprisingly got off the bed and started getting their belonging as well.
Anna took out her cell and called her butler, Kira. "Hey, Kira, bring the Jacuzzi to Imai's house. yeah, and bring some snacks in there as well." She shuts her phone and put it back into her shoulder bag.
"Well, since all if us are obviously haven't taken any bath yet, I thought we could just take a bath in the car while eating breakfast. Don't worry guys, I have our usual cloth in it so chill." She added when she must have saw me and Hotaru's suspicious face.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Lets go, Mikan, Ann" Anna is Anna's English nickname that Hotaru gave her about a year ago. Since then, it was stuck with us.
All of us headed of towards the door. Hotaru told the maid that she will not be back before dinner so don't bother.
When we opened the door, there were 3 cars waiting for us. Hotaru and I look Anna. Anna looked calm.
"Guess my dad thought we should have extra guard. Well, our cars is the middle one. Let's go..!"
Even though I have been in a Jacuzzi all my life, I still could get used to the fact that there was a pool inside a car.
Anna talked a lot in the car. Hotaru who is usually quiet speaks a lot more than usual.
Deep in my heart, I'm grateful I have two best friend like them. They know that I'll probably be sad on my mother's anniversary. They must be comforting me in their own way.
We all ate some sandwiches and a bit of Darjeeling tea while soaking our body in the hot water. Kira was interrupting our talk once in a while.
Probably to make sure that we don't forget them. More like Anna to forget about him. me and Hotaru knows that Kira has a crush on Anna but was too shy and prideful to tell her so he annoys her.
Anna is too dense about his feeling for her despite all the clues he gave her. Sometime, I really pity the guy's one sided love. Or not. Who knows?
Time passed quickly. We arrived at my house just 20 minutes before the guys shows up.
We thanked Kira and told him to come inside and have some breakfast but, o course being the gentleman he is, he refused.
"Prepare some herbal tea. I am expecting a guest in another 20 minutes. "I ordered one of the maid, Mira to do so.
The 3 of us went straight to my room and started dressing up to look presentable and to prepare mentally of what's that will come.
After 15 minutes of struggling woht our hair, all of us agreed to finally go to the living room and wait for the awaited guest to come.
When we reach the living room, my father and 'mother' were having their usual morning tea. Dad is reading a newspaper while 'mother' of course was admiring herself on her compact mirror. Old hag wannabe.
I didn't say anything. I just kept my mouth shut and took a seat. Anna and Hotaru sat each on my side.
None of us said anything. We were just waiting for the trio to come.
At last, after what it seems a gazillion years, the maid, Mira came into the room and gave us a news. "My lady, the guest has arrived."
'mother' was about to answer but I got there first. "Very well. Bring them here. "
When Mira was gone, Tsuzuki('mother'), finally spoke to my displeasure. "that girl said my lady so it was my guest so you have no right to say what you have said."
The hatred was very clear. So does burning jelousy.
The smirk was game on again for today. I gave one of my evil smirk. "What makes you think you're the only 'my lady' is this house. remember, I am still a member of this house and because grandfather(mikan's father) was the one who bought this house, after he died, he gave it to my real mother.
And mother wrote in one of her will that should she die, this house and all of its entire belonging will be given to me by the time I reach 16. so, remember that on your little puny head."
Her face was absolutely precious. But what shock me after that were the words of a certain guy.
"Wow, nice and colourful words you just said there, little girl." Natsume said with Mira furiously bowing her head and Ruka and Narumi beside him.
My father instantly sat up. I turned my head to see him –which I really try hard to avoid most of the time—and said "Shut it, old man. Sit." It was more of a threat than a question.
My father took my threat and sat back down. Its good for the old man to respect her daughter who was heartily his only family left. Technically, not.
"Masters, please take a seat. Yiru, pour some tea towards the guest. Mistress, do you need anything else?" Mira asked me.
I shook my head. "No. you may leave, Mira."
Mira did a last bow and closed the door right after Yiru poured the tea to each of us. Even the witch and my 'father'.
We all took a sip first. Out of curtesy of course. Natsume looked at me then my father. I didn't like that.
"Sir, my name is Natsume Hyuuga and these are my friends and partners. Ruka Nogi and Narumi L. Anjo. We are here because we found that your daughter has an amazing talent. We believe that she is already good but under care, we know that she will be great."
Ruka and Narumi just nodded. It was Narumi's turn to speak. Hotaru and Anna keep that mouth shut. Quite wise of them.
"Sir, these are the documents for you to sign to relenquish your hold to her in anyway. The details are in there. And for you two" he turned to look at Hotaru and Anna who were in front of him after giving my father his part of the document.
"Here is your part of the document. Sign at each of the paper. Same goes fo you, sir."
Father took a while to look at the documents. His eyes bulge when he saw something, I think. He quickly shot up from his chair.
"What! Mikan, why didn't you tell me about this?!" he shouted at me. his eyes look just like the day my mother died…
I remained as calm as I could because Hotaru and Anna were already out of their seat and was probably ready for any attacks.
"What is it, father? Why do u look like that day?" I asked. His face became more red if that were possible.
He slamed the documents onto the table and all noice was cut off except for his. "Why didn't you told me you had leukimia?! Did you even think of telling me?!"
I took a sip of my tea before answering back. "Of course not. Why should i?"
This time, he punched his hand to the table. Thanks god my tea didn't pour out like the other tea. "Because you're the heir, damn it! If you die, then the company's image would be ruined!"
For a second, I thought he was genuinely cared for me but, sadly, I hope to high. "And how should my death affect your company's image? I thought I didn't matter anymore to you since mother died and the witch came."
I took a single look at my step mother and the look back at my father.
"Because then I would look like the kind of guy that was so busy that he forgot to save his only daughter left!" my father shouted.
I sighed. "Father, you have that slut Luna as your other daughter, surely you will be fine if I die." I took another sip.
It wasn't enough that my father was shouting. Now the witch was shouting too. My ears would bleed if this continue. "How dare you speak to your sister like that! My luna is not a slut! Hwo dare you!"
She was about to slap me but Anna stopped her. "Watch it lady or the next thing you know, your going to be disabled for the rest of your pathetic life…"
I could see that Hotaru was just as mad as Anna but more composed.
I slowly took an envelop out of the jacket I was wearing and gave it to the witch. "Have that. Its my present to you. Don't worry, that's just the copy. The film is with me."
She opened it slowly and reacted just as I predicted. "What?! Hwo did you get this?" she 'accidentally'dropped the photos and it was public.
It was about 20 pictures of little Luna kissing different guy each on the photos. "Amazing how your daughter could seduce 20 guys in only a week…so, I guess that's your oh-so precious daughter."
I took another sip. All this blackmail was getting my throat hurt. "Don't worry, father. I wont give this photos to anybody. So does every single person here. Including Hotaru."
My father knows that Hotaru has a certain liking towards blackmailing. "In condition, sign those contracts and never show in my life again. From the time you sign those contract, you are officially have none whatsoever hold towards me. and if the there is a chance we will meet in the future, remember that we are starngers. You are not my father and I am not your daughter. I have not ties to this family anymore."
I wanted to cry so much when I said those words that I intent to make it sound cold. I have been lying to myself. I may have hated my father for marrying that gold digger, for not visiting my mother's grave and everything, but I still love him.
No matter what I do, I can never make this feeling go away. I hate him yet I also love and admire him.
Yuuki was listening the whole time and she knew that I still love him. Yuuki too still love him.
Mikan, let me talk to him. You have done enough.
Thank you, Yuuki.
And that was the last thing I remember for that day,
(Yuuki's POV)
I know that Mikan still loves him. And for some reason, despites the thing that had done to her, I may not love him, but at least I still have some feelings for him. Positive feelings.
The old man was sure shocked when I changed with Mikan. "Hey old man, remember me? Your daughter other half?"
"You're still alive?"
"Of course. How could I not be? If Mikan is till living, so will I. never forget that. Well, I think its time to go. From this day on, expect me to never set foot inside this house." I didn't care what he must have said cause I already turned my back to him.
Before I got out of the room, I said to all of them except my parents. "Guys, make him sign the contract. Girls, the choice is up to you. Wether you will stand beside me or against me. its up to you."
And with that, I walked straight towards my room.
(Natsume's POV)
even thought its hard for me to admit it, I still think that Polka was hell of a cool person. And that makes the both of them.
I went nearer towards the old man and took out a pen. "Here. Please sign the documents sir to avoid any injuries that might be inflicted towards your family."
I gave him my best smile.
He hesitate at first but eventually sign the documents. After he finished, I took all the documents back icluding to duo's and gave it to Narumi.
He was about to give the pen but I refused. "No worry's. You can have the pen."
All of us except the old man and the hag took a last sip and exited out of the room with the maid holding the door for us.
When we reached the door, Polka who is still in the snow queen(Yuuki) form was all packed and ready.
Suprisingly,the old man and his lover was right behind us. To see her off, maybe?
The snow queen turned to look at the old man. I thought she hated him. Hmm…weird.
See! See the stalker symptoms!!!
shut up! I'm trying to listen to what they say.
Symptoms…
"Do you know what day this is?" she asked him. Why would she ask what day today is?
Her father's face looked shock. "N-no. I don't know what day it is."
"Huh. Obviously, it looks like my mother put her trust and love into the wrong person. Well, later old man. Only this time, there is no next time." she gave him a last look and started to go into a limosin.
A guy took her bag. Out of body reaction I guess, I step on the guys foot and carry her bag instead.
I put the bag inside my car while the girls went into their limosin.
I gave a last look at the gigantic mansion and drove off. Narumi insisted that I do drving instead of him because he was having a headache.
I think its because of the 'talk' just now. Out of the blue, I suddenly got a call from snow queen. I wonder how she got my number. being a Sakura has a lot advantage.
I pick the call up and held the phone to my ear. "Hey, Hyuuga, follow the limosin if you want. I wont stop you. Later." And thus the call dropped.
What the hell was wrong with this girl. First you call me and then you hung up on me. weirdo.
"Hey guys, snow queen wants us to go after her. She said if we want to that is. You wanna?" I asked the guys.
Narumi didn't looked up. Ruka just said "Sure. We got nothing better to do anyway. Lets go."
I simply nodded and start following Polka…I have a bad feeling about this. Like I'll know about something I don't wanna know.
The drive was short and quiet. The shop that we went to was actually a flower shop.
I stayed inside the car while watching snow queen enter the shop with just her bag and exit with a huge boquet of roses plus orange blossom.
We droved again after that. After 30 minutes of my butt onto the seat on the car, we arrived at a grave yard. An exclusive graveyard to be precise.
The graveyard was sealed with steel from every direction. There was a big S on the main gate. Plus, there was even a freaking place to park the cars.
We we got out of the car, instead of the snow queen, Polka was the one who came out.
She was holding the flowers that snow queen bought and her friends we just beside her. Even the driver Kira got out. Eventually, all of us(Ruka and Narumi and Natsume) got out too and followed them.
After a short walk,. We arrive at a grave. There was a luxurious and tall stone hat says 'Yuka Sakura'
Polka bent down and place the flower onto the stone thing that was lying on the ground one. She wiped the stone that had the name and kissed it. Wow. Just, wow.
I couldn't see her eyes because her bangs was so evil. "Hey mom. Its me, Mikan. Today's your birthday, mommy and mine. I'm 14 now. Isnt that great? Hotaru and Anna are here too. oh and I have someone I want you to meet, mom."
She looked at me and the other and signalled us to come to the stone. I don't know why but I just go. Narumi and Ruka too.
Eventually, all of the gang bent down. Kira opened his hat and hold it onto his chest.
"This is Narumi, Ruka and Natsume,mom. Their kinda like my team now. I'm loving music again mom. I know, I know I forgot about my promise to you mom but now anymore. I will fulfill that promise mom."
