Chapter 9: We'll always be Friends

It was saturday three days after Ichigo had died and Mikan has been upset, but she still smiles when she's with Natsume. Hotaru and Ruka have a little thing between them now. Who knew?

Natsume has been spending all his time with Mikan making sure she was eating and sleeping. Thanks to him she didn't get sick. Hotaru and Mikan still weren't talking.

Mikan was walking through the forest humming to herself. She came to a stop when she saw Hotaru. A wind blew as time somehow stopped.

Hotaru was on her way to her lab when she heard Mikan humming she wanted to aviod her, but her feet wouldn't listen so she pressed forward. Their flowed in their faces. Mikan's face turned to a scowl. She turned her nose up as she walked past Hotaru.

Hotaru couldn't bare it anymore she grabbed Mikan's wrist.

"Nani?" Mikan said in an emotionless tone not turning around to face Hotaru.

Hotaru's tears slipped down her face as she continued to tighten her grip on Mikan's wrist. Mikan heard her soft sobbing and turned around to look at her.

"Itai." she said still emotionless.

Hotaru pulled Mikan into an embrace. "Gomen ne."

Mikan's eyes widened.

"Gomen ne Mikan. I was really jealous, mean, hurtful and disgusting to you and all you ever did was love me and tried to be my friend. I thought I was losing you to her and I couldn't stop myself, but then I realised that I lost you because I wasn't a good friend. For that I'm sorry Mikan," Hotaru was now sobbing out loud.

Mikan couldn't believe it Hotaru was apologizing and crying?! Has the world gone insane? Mikan didn't respond she just let Hotaru cry for a little while.

"Baka." Mikan finally said. Hotaru looked up at a smiling Mikan who started to embrace her.

"Ne Hotaru," Mikan said "it's almost like we switched personalities don't you think so."

Now she was giggling and Hotaru even giggled too. They were practically laughing their heads off. Mikan stopped first.

"Hotaru I want everything to go back the way they were. It was painful, but I kinda miss it ya know?" Hotaru smiled.

"Hai." Hotaru dusted off her uniform put back on her emotionless face."Baka."

"HOTARU!!" Mikan tried to hug her, but was stopped.

baka. baka. baka.

"I Love you Hotaru." Mikan said getting up and following her best friend who was wlaking away to her lab.

Hotaru stopped "Oh yeah. You owe ten thousand rabbits for making me cry in front of you." she turned and walked away.

Hotaru you meanie!!" Mikan yelled chasing her she smiled.

I really do love her alot and prefer her this way. She thought.

I have her back. Hotaru thought.

Next thing Mikan was walking next to her and took hotaru's hand in her's.

"We'll always be friends, ne Hotaru?" Mikan said resting her head on Hotaru's shoulders. Hotaru nodded as she rested her head on Mikan's.

Best Friends. Thought the inventor.

"So have you and Ruka kissed yet?" Mikan asked raising her head up.

Baka. Baka. Baka.

"Hotaru!"

Hey guys sorry for ruining the moment I just wanted to break the tension. Chapter 10 is the last Chapter then I'm gonna start my all new original idea with some scene selected help from Ouran host club and Chobits.
