Chapter 5: Secrets Unfold
My life has taken a turn on Wednesday when Ruka, the blonde lad that Hotaru was with at the Five Star Restaurant last Monday, transferred to our class. It turns out that he should've been on his 4th year already but because he was severely ill last year, he was delayed a year.
I got to know him after class and managed to squeeze out that he liked Hotaru even before she saved him. He said it s love at first sight. Hmm, figures.
"So, are you planning to court her or something? I'll gladly help you if you want. I do feel a little something between the two of you and I am quiet sure that you'll take care of her better than Hyuuga did."
"Hyuuga? You mean Natsume Hyuuga? They became a couple? Woah, that's weird. I always thought that Natsume only go for the dumb blondes (A/N: Example: Luna XP) I never knew he went for intellects such as Hotaru for toys." Do they know each other? So I guess Natsume really has been toying with girls for a long time.
"You guys know each other?"
"Yeah. He was my childhood friend. We would always play back when we were little but I haven't heard from him since him and Min- ugh, forget what I said."
What was he going to say? Something smells fishy here. Oh, wait, I think it's just this fish that I'm chopping (they're having home economics).
"Okay, Ruka. Whatever you say. So are you going to court Hotaru or what? She really needs to move on and believe me you do not want to see her look like a wreck. It's better to have her stoic and cold face then her weak side." I won't dig way too deep yet on what Ruka was about to say.
"Uhmm, I don't know. I like her but… wouldn't Natsume be angry if I go after his ex?" Aww, what a sweet friend!
"Nahh, don't worry. You said so yourself, she was just a toy. And I curse Hyuuga for that. Hotaru's a really lucky find although she may seem so out of life, she's really great. So, what do you say? Want me to arrange something for both of you? Or do you want it all to happen naturally?"
"I think I'd go for the natural romance but if I fail, I'll seek for some guidance. I heard that you're the Love Doctor or something in this school? So, do you like fix problems of couples and such?" am I really that well-known here? Aww, I am so flattered!
"Yeah, something like that. So anyways, I'll be right here just in case you need any help. You can count on me! Now let's go and fry this fish up."
Lunch
I would usually seat under the Sakura Tree alone during lunch break to eat up the bento I prepared for myself but today seems to be different because here I am. At the table of a mix of 4th years and 3rd years. The seats are occupied by, Hotaru, Ruka, Anna, Kitsuneme, Yuu, Nonoko, Hyuuga, Me and this weird guy from the genius class. I think his name was Mikato.
"Remind me, why I'm here again." I really can't remember how I ended up here and I really hate the fact that me and Hyuuga are right next to each other because our bento's are the same since I made his too.
"Because from now on, all of us will sit and eat here during lunch. If I hear any complaining, I'll hit all of you with my Baka Gun 2.6." everybody was quiet. Even Hyuuga was. God, Hotaru is scary.
"Alright. It seems as though we all have an agreement. Now, sign this contract." Damn, this girl is weird! A contract? What is this? Some kind of law-related matter? "C'mon Hotaru! You can't be serious."
"Just sign it, baka." –sigh-, no use arguing with her now. I signed the contract and so did the others. You know what? It feels really weird to seat in between ex-lovers but they don't seem to be affected at all. Hmph, and Hotaru was crying over him just a few months ago. I guess she really has moved on.
"Aww, how cute Mikan-chan! You and Natsume-senpai have the same bentos!" Oh, man. Anna just had to say that.
"Well, uhmm. Natsume's my new roommate and since I'm his servant for 2 months, I cook our meals and follow all his orders." I can't believe I had to explain that. Darn, Anna.
"Servant? How come you became his servant?" Now, Ruka was the one that got curious. Darn, haven't they ever heard of curiosity kills the cat?
"It's a really long story." I hope they just give up.
"Hey, Polka. Your tamago tastes weird, next time make it more edible." Ooh! I Hate that arrogant jerk! I am so gonna kill him later on-
"Polka? Why do you call her Polka, Natsume?"
"Ah, that's-"
"It's her underwear pattern" OMFG! Did he just say that? That's it! I AM SOO GOING TO BLOODY MURDER H-"
"MIkan! Don't tell me the two of you-"
"Eww! Anna no! he just rummaged my underwear cabinet and saw it, okay? It's nothing like that!" wow, we sure cut each other off a lot.
"Tch, typical" Now what did Hotaru mean by that? Oh well, time to work my magic between the two.
"Aww, Hotaru! You and Ruka look so cute together!"
Reactions:
Ruka: Blush
Hotaru: Twitch
Ok, I've got the reactions.
"And the two of you last night at that restaurant was just like watching a romance flick!"
Reactions:
Ruka: Red as a Tomato
Hotaru: Glare
Mwahahaha! It's working!
"And you know what? You two should really-"
I couldn't finish my sentence because Hotaru hit me with her Baka Gun and damn, it hurts!
"Say one more word about that and I will kill you." Hmm, I guess I'll work my magic some other time.

It was Biology once more and I am texting Youichi. We have been doing this ever since. Well, if it is a boring discussion day.
I was never the kind to listen attentively to the teacher and I only study during exams. It's easier and much more convenient that way.
"You free again today?"
"Nope. Sorry. I've got to cook Master's meal ;|"
"Master?"
"Natsume the Jerk."
"Oh, okay. Next time then?"
"Sure. I'll try."
We talked about random things until Biology finished.
When I walked out the door, I was shocked to see Natsume, standing right there in front of me.
"Uhmm, what are you doing here?" He didn't answer me and just asked where Youichi is. How rude but the farther I am from him the better, right?
"There." I pointed to him Youichi's seat and went on my way.
I was walking to my next period when I suddenly remembered that I left my textbook back at the lab, and so I hurried there.
"You should fight for her. Don't mind that old man. He's just a crippled 50 year old bastard that controls everything his children does. Don't just give up on her, Youichi. She needs you."
I couldn't help but eavesdrop on Natsume and Youichi's conversation. It was so intense and serious. I wonder what they're talking about.
"But I'm not like you Natsume. I'm not that strong-minded. I really love your sister but the obstacles are just too much." I heard footsteps and before I could run away, Youichi opened the door and I was there, dumbstruck and frozen on my spot.
I was in the verge of panic but then felt pity when I saw Youichi's eyes.
It was filled with sorrow and loneliness, not the usual glow it has.
"Hey, we better head off to class. The second bell's about to ring.
"Uhh, yeah. I have to get my textbook first." I ran to the lab and got my textbook in a hurry and dashed off to my next period.

Sakura-Hyuuga Apartment
I now lay in the couch, feeling really lazy. Natsume's out somewhere. He said that he had something to do and so here I am. Slumping in the couch.
I can't really be bothered to do anything, not have a movie marathon, shop, cook, all I want to do is to lay here and be a lazy potato.
Before I even noticed it I fell asleep and when I woke up, I smelled Chinese Food.
"Hmm, yummy! I'm hungry"
"Good you're awake. I bought Chinese. I m getting tired of your food poison." Augh, I the him! But I can't decline the yummy Chinese food.
"So, where'd you go?" I think he got irritated with me because I was talking with my mouth full. Haha. 1 point!
"None of your business. Now will you please not talk with your mouth full? You're getting your spit all over me."
"Sir, yes sir!" I mocked him more by saluting and when I got the reaction I needed, I closed my mouth and savored the taste of my Orange Chicken.
We finished eating and since we ate something he bought, we didn't need to wash any dishes.
"Hey, we've been roommates for like a month but I still no little about you. Mind opening up a bit?"
"Yes, I do mind. I'm not the kind to open up." Well, I figured that out but that still wouldn't stop me from opening up to him.
"If you don't want to, then I will. I'm Mikan Yukihara-Sakura. 16. I'm in Year 3 Class A. 5'6 in height and 48 kilos in weight. My dad's deceased and my mother's ill. So therefore, I strive for my own survival. I have a part-time job during the weekends and I have no siblings. I have a thing for movies and blood and I want to be a doctor that specializes in hearts or to be a psychiatrist someday."
Ntsume was silent all the time and thinking that I won't get anything in return (information) I left to look for Movies to watch but I was once again stopped by the sound of his voice.
"I ran away from home." Did I just hear that right? He ran away from home? Now why would he do that?
"Why?"
"It's…complicated"
"C'mon. I'm a good listener. That's why I wanna be a psychiatrist. I like listening to people's problems."
He stayed silent for awhile and finally spoke.
"You know, Youichi's ex-girlfriend, right? Aoi?"
I nodded my head
"She's my younger sister."
OMFG. But wasn't she an heiress to some big company? So that means?
"Get out! You must be kidding me! So you're the heir to that bi company!"
He just nodded his head.
"So, why did you run away? I bet you had a luxurious life."
He just stayed quiet. I racked my brains for something to say and thought of a reason as to why he would run away. Then, I remembered what I heard back at the lab.
He's just a crippled 50 year old bastard that controls everything his children does.
That must be it. He had no freedom and he was suffocated by it.
"You had no freedom, did you? And you were sick of your father's demands that you ran away. But didn't he even look for you?"
Again, he stayed quiet. I urged him to say something by looking at him straight in the eye.
"-sigh- Yeah. And he did look for me, but after doing a stunt that was outrageous. He disowned me and said that I as no longer a Hyuuga. I could still use the name but I will never be one."
Wow, this guy has a lot of problems. Maybe I've been to harsh and judgmental that I didn't think outside the box. He deserves happiness and I am going to find him that.
The Love Doctor is back on the case.
