Chapter 3: Friends For Never

Weeks passed by and Mikan and Ichigo became inseparable. Hotaru noticed and it annoyed her to no end. Her best friend was no longer hanging around her. Now she was all Ichigo-chan and onee-sama all the time. She even stopped trying to hug her in the morning so she had to find a new target for her abuse.

Ruka.

Alas poor Ruka I knew him well. That's Hotaru would wait until he was chasing her and release all of her anger and pain in her heart on poor Ruka.(hang in there ruka...sob..I still love you)

Ichigo and Mikan

"Hey, Mikan" Ichigo said looking up from The Book.(i put it in first letter caps cause i want you to know it's the book okay?)

"Yeah?" Mikan said while levitating the rock in her hand it was floating a good foot above her hand.

"Did you ever tell anyone about what happened or about the book."

"Iie" Mikan said now making the rock spin.

"Sou" Ichigo said. Soething was wrong Mikan could sense.

"Onee-sama, daijoubu?" Mikan asked slightly worried.

"Betsuni. I was just thinking about your friend Hotaru," Ichigo said.

"Nani? What about her?" Mikan said full attention on Ichigo.

"I was just wondering what kind of friend she is?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"What I mean is what does she do that makes you two friends?"

"Betsuni."

"Nani?"

"Hotaru says those kind of things are useless and a waste of money."

"Does she mean she doesn't want to watse money on a gift or money on you period?"

"I don't know," Miksn looked at the ground.

"Gomen ne Mikan-chan I didn't mean to make you sad. I just always thought Hotaru was this cold hearted blackmailer with only eyes for money." Ichigo said nonchalantly leaning against the tree.

"Maybe it's better not to tell her she might hit you she evil like that you know. Besides she might not understand or even if she does she probably won't help us."

Mikan stopped spinning the rock and let it fall in her hand. "Iie. Hotaru's not evil she just has her own unique way of showing affection. I know she care's about me alot, but I do admit I've been doubtful." Mikan clenched her fist. "Demo I'm confident that if I explain everything she'll be willing to help us." she threw the rock and watched it fall into the lake.

Ichigo stood up "If you're so confident go get her already we need all the help we can get." then she gave her small smile that only her sister could see.

Mikan smiled her 'Mikan' smile "Hai!!" and ran off in the direction of Hotaru's lab.

'For you're sake I hope you're right about her' Ichigo thought giving a longing look out to the lake then going in the opposite direction to Mikan's room.

At Hotaru's Lab

"Sorry Miss Sakura, but the mistress seemed to have removed your name for friends A list, Not to worry she's home so I'll let you in to see her. It was probably just a mistake anyway." Hotaru's robot security guard said as she opened the doors to Hotaru's lab.

"Arigatou!!" Mikan said bowing. She bowed one last time before heading through the doors and down the hallways she went to the lab room, but Hotaru wasn't there so she checked the bedroom and found her.

"Yo Hotaru-chan!"

"Go away baka!"

"Ne ne Hotaru-chan? I have lots of things to tell you." Mikan said ignoring her comment.

"Go tell them to your sister" Hotaru mumbled but Mikan heard.

"But they're about me and my sister"

"Then I'm not interested" Hotaru replied coldly.

"Hotaru what wrong with you?"Mikan said worried.

"Iie BAKA!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?" Hotaru was now yelling pissed off.

"Why are you yelling at me?" Mikan said in a small voice.

"Because your an idiot. Now get the fuck out of my room" Hotaru cussed which is something she did rarely only when she was really angry. She gave Mikan a shove towards the door time had stopped. Mikan was a good foot in front of the door and Hotaru was a good arm's length away from her and was now walking towards her bed.

"Leave" she said making Mikan shiver. Mikans head dropped.

"She was right." Mikan said bangs covering her eyes. Hotaru turned to her at this she was a foot away from her bed.

"I can't believe I've been so blind all this time. You are as she defined you. I stood up for you and believed in our friendship. I've come here to pour my soul out and you yell at me." Mikan clenched her fist." You are a cold-hearted black mailer I tried to squeeze myself into that black hole you call a heart thinking maybe, just maybe you'd make room for me, but I was fooling myself we're different too different." tears started to fall "I thought that's what kept us together the fact that opposites attract, but I was being naive." Mikan turned to the door and opened it a crack. and stopped.

"Gomen ne Imai-san I thought I was helping you and be friending you in some way, but all I did was give you an obligation an unwanted job so as of now.." She pulled the door open all the way.

She whipped her head around and let her hair fly around as she spoke sternly,"You're fired and I hate you, but that's the way it's meant to be no if's and's or but's" her hair seemed to fall in slow motion on her shoulders and down her back. She walked out of the room and began closing the door "We are Friends no more. Ja ne Imai-san." as the door closed.

As Mikan spoke every word made Hotaru's eyes grow wide. When the door closed Hotaru felt like she just used a mega-charged baka cannon and hit herself ten times in the stomach. Her knees gave way as she sank to the floor kneeling then fell forward on the wood floor and for the first time (ladies and gentle men can I get a witness) Hotaru Imai cried.

On the outside of the door Mikan with tears streaming down her fast ran as fast as she could she knew who she had to see and surprisingly it wasn't her sister. Natsume.

Don't know why I broke up Hotaru and Mikan don't hate me everything will work out. Mushy stuff and fluff up next. Need lots of reviews to keep me going I'm in the middle of finals people I need some form of motivation, ne?

Lots of love (: Chi-chan :)
