Chapter 6

Koko and Ruka saw Anna and Nonoko approaching. So they proceded to Plan B

"Mr. Jinno! Mr. Jinno!"Ruka and Koko called

"What is it Mr. Nogi, and Mr. Yome?"Mr.Jinno asked

While Ruka and Koko were distracting Mr. Jinno, Nonoko and Anna tiptoed quickly until something fell off the paper bag.

"What's that noise?"Mr. Jinno is about to look at the back when Ruka stepped on Mr. Jinno's foot

"OUCH!!"Mr. Jinno screamed and held on to his foot, while Ruka gave a signal to Anna to hustle and Anna took the fallen object and they ran away as fast as they could.

'Yes! The mission was a success!'Ruka and Koko thought with tears of joy

"RUKA!KOKO! Which one of you stepped on my foot?!"said the furious Mr. Jinno

'YIPES! SORRY KOKO, YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT FRIEND' Ruka though. But Ruka doesn't know that Koko just read his mind, that's why

"Sir! Ruka did it"Koko confessed

'YOU TRAITOR! I THOUGHT WE'RE FRIENDS?!' Ruka thought

'SORRY RUKA! YOU SAID EARLIER THAT YOU OWE ME, SO YOU ALREADY DONE ME A FAVOR. THANK YOU!'Koko thought with a smile

"Mr. Nogi, come with me!"Mr. Jinno said furiously

"No, wait Mr. Jinno, I can explain! Please!"Ruka kept on moving to loosen Mr. Jinno's grip, but it was not use.

"I salute you, Ruka Nogi!"Koko saluted, while watching Ruka and Mr. Jinno far away

Meanwhile...

"Big sister Hotaru! I found them! Big sister Hotaru, why is it you're pulling my shirt?"Yo-chan asked

"I'm not pulling your shirt, I'm just holding on! I might get lost if I let go! You know there's a lot of people out there! Come on! Let's go and get them!"Hotaru said and both of them ran towards Mikan and Natsume

"Look Mikan, is Youchii and a little girl, running towards us"Natsume said while holding Mikan's hand

"You're right Natsume! And the little girl, she's tugging on Youchii's shirt! KAWAII!!"Mikan said

"I wonder why they're running towards us?"Natsume asked

"Maybe they just want to greet us"Mikan replied

"Well, do they have to run just to greet us?"Natsume asked

"I'm not sure...Oh well, I'm glad! Hey Youichii! What are you doing here?"Mikan asked

"Who's the girl?"Natsume teased

"Is she your girlfriend?"Mikan teased

Then little Hotaru took out her mini baka gun and hit Mikan and Natsume on the face

BAKA!

BAKA!

BAKA!

"Ouch! I know that stupid Baka gun! Hotaru!"Natsume said

"Hotaru, why do you have to hit us?!"Mikan said

"Because, both of you are starting to go on to stage 2"Hotaru said

"What?! Stage 2?!"Mikan and Natsume said in unison

"Ruka explained to us everything and also our master plan. He said that stage 2 is when your mind is starting to change. And I noticed that both of you are holding hands...Or maybe, nothing has changed yet"Hotaru said suspiciously

"What do you mean holding hands, we're not holding hands"Mikan and Natsume said in unison

Hotaru pointed out to them and they immediately let go.

"Hey, Natsume started it"Mikan said

"No I didn't YOU did!"Natsume said

"It doesn't matter which one of you but we have to go. I think by now, Anna and Nonoko are making the antidote"Hotaru said

"Okay, I'll just get Yuu"Mikan went tot the sandbox and suddenly"WAAAAAAH!!"

"Mikan, what's wrong?"Natsume asked

"It's Yuu, he's...he's..."Mikan said

"He's what, he's what?!"Natsume asked

"He's wet! And stinky!"Mikan exclaimed

Natsume approached to Mikan and he gaved Mikan a good spank on the head

"OUCH! Natsume, why did you do that for?!"Mikan asked, but she notice that everybody has gone ahead of her

"We need some space for us to breath Mikan! Good luck with Yuu!"Natsume, Hotaru and Yo-chan said while covering their noses

"Hey you guys! Wait for us!"Mikan ran after them

Back to Anna and Nonoko

"Finally! We're done with the antidote!"Anna nad Nonoko exclaimed in unison

"All we need to do now is to go back outside"Anna said

"Yeah! Let's go!"Nonoko and Anna placed the antidotes inside a bag and they run off outside the lab.

Back to Koko

Koko noticed that Hotaru and Yo-chan were almost there, with Mikan, Natsume and Yuu and they hid themselves behind the bushes, so Koko made an excuse.

"Um, Mr. Jinno, may I go to the restroom?"Koko asked

"Sure, your may go"Mr. Jinno replied and Koko rushed off to the bushes

"Hey you guys! You're back"Koko said

"Hey Koko, where is Ruka?"Natsume asked

"Um, well, he got himself in trouble"Koko sweatdropped

"How? The plan was fool-proof"Hotaru said

"Well, something unexpected happened"Koko said

"Oh well, may God bless his soul"Hotaru said

They've spotted Anna and Nonoko searching outside, carrying a bag.

"Koko, go back, Anna and Nonoko are over there, looking for you"they said to Koko

"Why don't you go instead Hotaru! I can't handle the tension back there"Koko said

"Do you want the easier way?"Hotaru pointed outside the bushes, "Or, the hard way?"Hotaru showed her mini baka gun

"Okay, I'll go"Koko immediately went outside.
