CHAPTER 13
RUKA
What have I done! I'm such an idiot.
"What are you doing here?" Sonoh asked with suspicion.
"I-I-I…"
I'm here for Sakura, what else! And I don't have the guts to say it.
"I-I…"
"You…?" Sonoh moved in front of me, intimidating me to say more.
"I need the idiot to clean my unit." Natsume said as he emerged from the bush, saving me from my stupidity.
"You can always hire a maid, Hyuuga." Sonoh spitted at him with an unfriendly smile.
Even though we've been in the same production team, I've never really known this Sonoh and his band mates. And I didn't intend to. Before he confessed to Sakura, that is. Now I can see what they see in this guy. Looks, talent, style, charisma, and attitude.
"She's more than willing to do that." Natsume said as he walked towards Sakura.
"Oi, idiot." He called her. Natsume stopped in front of her and we followed him. He stopped before saying, "The idiot fell asleep." then he turned and headed to the elevator instead, leaving me with Sonoh.
I came forward to look at her angelic face. A faint blush is visible in her cheeks, and she was smiling, as if having the greatest dream ever. Her eyes softly move through her lids, making her long lashes flutter. I reached out to touch her face but Sonoh beat me into it.
I saw his finger caress her flawless face softly and repeatedly. I looked at him. I dropped my hands to the sides.
"Beautiful, isn't she?" He said smiling at her sleeping face, ignoring my stare. "Lovely." He whispered with a tint of happiness and a huge smile on his face.
He bent down and kissed her forehead. Afterwards, he caressed the spot on which his lips landed.
"Hey! Isn't that an…" He looked at me as I trailed off. Then he gave me a smile. "You're really not a bad guy. Why play like it?" He said as he carried her bridal style.
"Help me bring her to her bed?" he asked with a smile. I just nodded as I looked away and helped him. "She's not that heavy." He told me with a laugh.
"Looks like it." I replied as I looked at her cuddling herself to his body, not knowing she's being carried back to her unit.
"I wonder if she'll remember what I did awhile ago." He said, now his smile faltered and turned into a straight face. "I really did mean it."
I don't know what to say. "What if she doesn't?" I asked.
"I'm gonna have a gig tonight." He said with a determination on his face. "Then?" I urged. "I'm gonna do it all over again." He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What if she… you know… doesn't… think of you that way?" I said as we finally arrived our floor. "She doesn't have to say anything… I just need her to listen." He said with a hopeful smile.
God, how can this guy always smile?
"And?" I said as I turned her doorknob, which she left open from a while ago.
"I'll offer prayers to the one up there." He said with a sad laugh as he laid her on her bed.
We watched her as she comfortably turned and hugged a pillow. We chuckled at the same time as we saw how childish she is.
"Lets go now." He said as he dragged me out with him, and locking the door behind his back.
MIKAN
Ugh. I need soup.
I sat up and noticed that I was in my room. But funny, I don't remember lying on my bed the night before. In fact, the last thing I remember was Kaname singing on the rooftop.
What was he singing again? Damn, I don't remember. What did he tell me again last night?
Suddenly a flash of headache hit my head. "Ow. I need soup." I told myself as I headed towards the kitchen to have breakfast at 2 PM, only to remember that I haven't bought any groceries yet since I came here. And I don't have money yet.
Grumpily, I headed to my shower. I grabbed my phone and dialed Kaname's number since it has already been a ritual that Anna and Nonoko are always with Koko and Kitsuneme, while Nobara is always dragged by Mochu. And now, I think, my band mates had forgotten that a Mikan Sakura has once existed in their lives.
"Hey." Kaname answered after a few rings.
"Kaname! I just woke up, listen, I need company for 'breakfast'. Can you…?" I said while crossing my fingers.
"Uh. Wait. Do you remember what I told you last night?" I immediately stopped walking; trying to remember what he told me.
Oops…
"Uhh… Actually… I… ah…" and then I just figured that he knows that I don't remember.
"So you forgot your surprise!" He said playfully with a laugh.
"I'm sorry." I said sadly. God, how can I be so stupid? How can I do this to him?!?
"Nevermind. But as much as I would love to accompany you, we have a practice. I'm so sorry." And I can tell his sincerity. "No. It's alright." I said, trying my best not to show my disappointment.
"Hey Kaname! Tell Mikan, later! If you-" I barely heard Tsubasa say on the background as Kaname talked to me, clearly ignoring him. "Listen," he said abruptly. "I promise, I'm gonna make it up to you as soon as we finish okay? Gotta go!"
"W-!" and with that, he hung up.
The sound of a door turning and I saw Ruka coming out of his apartment. "RUKA-PYON!" I exclaimed and I dragged him without a word.
"SA-SAKURA! Where are we going again?!?" He asked me as I dragged him to the busy streets of Manhattan.
"Breakfast!" I said cheerily. Atleast I found company.
"Breakfast? Just woke up?" He said as he chuckled.
"Uhuh. And I'm craving for fast food." I said as I dragged him to McDonalds.
****
"So you actually forgot what Sonoh did last night?" Ruka asked me with disbelief in his features.
"Yeah, and I think he hates me. Maybe he prepared for it." I said gloomily. I then took out my frustration on the cheeseburger that I'm eating as I bit it.
"I think he did prepare for it," Ruka said as he moved his face towards me from the other side of the table. And I can feel myself blush at our proximity. "But I don't think he's mad at you. Maybe he's mad at his self for showing it to you when you're drunk." He told me with a laugh.
Wait a minute.
"How did you know?" I asked him with wide eyes. He wasn't there! And I didn't tell him I was drunk last night… Or did I?
"Know w-what?" He asked as he immediately leaned on his chair's backrest.
"T-that I was drunk!"
"W-w-well…" he started but didn't continue.
After a few seconds, I prompted him. "Well?"
"Well…" He said with a sigh.
"Well what?"
RUKA
God! I'm so stupid! Must I always blow my cover? Damn, I can already feel myself turning red of embarrassment.
"Well… I saw you drinking before you went home." I said lamely.
"Oh. I thought you went home earlier." She said, obviously not figuring out it was a lie.
"No."
"Anyway, the last thing I remembered was Kaname was singing…" she trailed off and was staring into the glass walls of McDonalds. Her eyebrows met, you can tell she was trying her best to remember.
"Its all a blur… confusing…" she was mumbling to herself. "I remember someone calling… What did it say again? It sounded like an emergency…"
O oh…
"Then Kaname stood up… Then, I rested my head on the bench…" She trailed off, trying her best to recall. "But what did he say?!" She suddenly bellowed, dropping her food on the table.
"I can't remember what he said!" She said, and suddenly, I saw a tear drop from her eyes as she bowed her head. I was alarmed.
"Hey! Sakura!" She then started wailing, as she stood up. "Wait!" Everyone turned his or her head to look at us as we ran out the restaurant.
"Sakura, wait!" I ran after her as she walked away from the fast food. She stopped.
"I hate myself." She said as she ran and hugged me? Oh god, I can feel my heart beat faster. "How could I do this to him, he's such a nice guy. And he did something for me. And I totally forgot it." She wailed at my chest.
I can feel my light blue shirt getting wet of her tears. Hesitantly, I wrapped my arms around her. "It's alright Sakura. I'm sure he's not mad." I assured her.
"You think so?" She looked up as she wiped her tears away.
"I know so." I told her with a smile. She then took a step backwards as she looked at my shirt.
"I-I'm sorry about that…" She said, looking away as she wiped her face.
"Nah. It's nothing. I-I…" I told her with a shrug. "Hey, let's go back now. After all, we still have a gig later." I told her as I walked to hail a cab.
"You have a gig?" She asked as she ran to me.
"We, as in you, and us." I told her with a smile as we rode the cab.
"FINALLY!" She exclaimed.
How can this girl change her moods so quickly? She's really something.
NATSUME
"Ruka." The elevator door opened revealing Ruka and her.
"NATSUME!" She squealed. "I heard you have a gig with us! It's so exciting isn't it? I can finally watch you perform, with fans! Just like in that cool music video!" She squealed.
Suddenly, I had that weird feeling when I saw Ruka with her. Which made me want to keep her for myself today.
"Whatever. Go clean my unit." I told her as I dragged her to my unit. Completely changing my plans of going out.
"Clean your- WHAT?!" she said as I threw her to a corner of my unit. I slumped to my long and wide red sofa and looked at her.
"You don't have all day, you only have 'til 6 pm." I told her as she studied the mess.
I completely renovated my unit. I made them remove the walls of the bedrooms and bathrooms. I designed my own place.
On my right wall was still that plasma TV and underneath it was the fireplace, which was the only thing left of the original set-up of the unit. At the left wall were my not-so-enormous bathroom, which contains a mini Jacuzzi, a shower-tub, and the usual toilet and sink. And everything was either ebony or ivory.
Beside my bathroom was my guitar wall, where I hang all my guitars.
"Hey Natsume, where's your bed?" she asked as she looked around.
"I don't have one." I told her. I decided that beds don't really matter. And since then, I have been sleeping on this sofa, which was actually a twin bed that looks like a Cleopatra's chair.
"So you sleep on the couch?" She asked me as she sat on my couch.
"No, on the floor." I told her sarcastically.
"Oh! That's why bed sheets are scattered all over the floor!" She said with an enlightened expression, totally misunderstanding my sarcasm. What an idiot.
"You talk to much. Start cleaning!" I said as I closed my eyes. "If you hadn't saved me…" she said while cleaning all the mess I have made.
She did talk a lot, telling me about her family, her life, and occasionally asked me about mine. Which I don't reply to. Family was the last thing I wanted to talk about.
At around minutes before 6, her phone rang.
"Hello?... Kaname!... SURE! I'D LOVE THAT!... OKAY!" and with that, her cleaning seemed to turn into a faster pace.
"Hey Natsume, why do you have Vogue with the Yuki Aoi cover?" She asked as she carried the laundry basket out of the bathroom. She dropped it beside the unit's door as she hopped next to me.
"You like her don't yoouuuu?" She said as she poked my side, intending to tickle me, which will never work for God never gave me a funny bone.
I just stared at her. And slowly, she lifted herself up my bed couch, sensing doom if she does that act again. "I-ah am going now… See you later!" with that she exited my unit.
"Idiot."
MIKAN
"COMING!" I shouted at the door as I hurriedly wore my shirt.
"Hello!" I greeted Kaname as I opened the door further, motioning him to enter.
"Hi." He said as he entered. "Ready?" He asked.
"I'll go get my stuff." I said as I picked up my guitar and effects board.
"Let me help you with that." He said as he snatched the effects board from my hand. "Thank you." I replied as I smiled.
"Mikan." Kaname turned to me just I was about to hop off of his car. "Can you promise me to ride with me tonight?" He asked with a smile. "Of course!" I said. I wonder what makes him think I wouldn't.
"Whatever happens?" He asked.
"I promise." I assured him.
"Thank you." He said.
"Uh… and about last night-"
"Forget that. I thought that it sucked. So I have another surprise for you today." He told me as he carried my effects board, making him carry two effects board now. The longer ones were his.
****
"Thank you everyone! I now pass the stage to my dearest friends, Yuri, Misaki, Tsubasa and Kaname. Let's give it up for Digitally Manipulated!" I said over to the mike after our set was finished.
"That was good Mikan." Kaname told me with a laugh as he walked passed me. "Get ready for your surprise. And remember it this time okay?" he said with a smile. I laughed. "Okay." I said as I finished packing up and went down stage.
"Having a pleasant night?" He asked the crowd. "YEAH!" I replied with the crowd.
"Good! 'Cause I'm having a good one!" he said over the microphone as he played an intro of a song. I looked around the crowd and searched for people I knew. And I saw Natsume and Ruka over their usual place at the bar. I walked towards them.
"Hey guys!" I greeted. "So you're gonna play after them?" I asked them.
"Yes." Ruka said.
"Can't wait!" I said as I stood and watched Digitally Manipulated. I wonder what's his surprise.
After 3 songs, Kaname said over the crowd, "I would like to acknowledge a little girl named Mikan Sakura, of Technicolor Dolls." He said as he waved at me, smiling, which I returned.
"I surprised her last night," He said over the mike. Guilt took over me again. "But then, she was too drunk to remember. So here am I, doing it all over again." The crowd laughed.
"I'm sorry!" I screamed, and the crowd laughed harder.
"Anyway, so this afternoon, I asked her if she remembered what I said. Unfortunately, she said no. And so, I decided to do it all over again." The crowd laughed again. Seriously, I'm so embarrassed that I'm starting to hide behind Ruka and Natsume.
"But instead of being alone together, I decided to tell it in public, with a lot of people. To remind her, this time, of what I'm going to say. And what I said last night, when you fell asleep." He chuckled at the memory as the crowd laughed with him.
Where is this going?
"So, just to make this surprise possible, as soon as I took her to her own bed, I gave our producer and manager a call, begging them for this gig. I also woke my band mates up. I eagerly told them of this." He said.
"Just get it on with Kaname!" Tsubasa said as he threw him his drumstick, which Kaname dodged with a laugh. "Fine. Fine!" He replied with a laugh.
"I want you to know, Ms. Mikan Sakura, that I, Kaname Sonoh, has finally fallen in love, for the first time in my life, with you."
Oh my god. I don't believe this. I hid behind Ruka and Natsume. And I felt them look at me.
The crowd was making those weird high-pitched cheering sounds teasingly. Kaname chuckled over the mike.
"And the next song is for you. Last night, you said you liked it, but you were to drunk, which made me wonder now if you really did like it."
He nodded at his band mates as he started to play.
"MIKAN!" Anna screamed as she dragged me. Quickly I grabbed the nearest thing to hold on, which were Natsume and Ruka. "What the hell-?" I barely heard Natsume. "Help me!" I told them quietly.
When you gonna give it up
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly would you turn me on
Eventually, Natsume, Ruka, and I ended up at the front row. I don't wanna hurt Kaname for the second time again. So I just looked up as he smiled at me. I smiled him too. His smile got bigger.
When you gonna give it up
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly would you turn me on
You are
The taste of somethin' sweet
And I'm tangled in the sheets
You left
Your mark dragged down my back
So chain me up
I'm in too deep
Too much of you is never enough
As the crowd cheered at his lyrics, I on the other hand, don't know what to feel.
"Oh my god! Lucky Mikan!" Nonoko screamed at my ears.
"He's so sweet!" Nobara said.
When you gonna give it up
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly would you turn me on
Just another pretty face
But I want one more taste
Come on Holly would you turn me on
"He really loves you." Hotaru said.
Since when have they been behind my back? I turned and saw Mochu, Koko, Kitsuneme and Yuu.
"D-d-did you all know of this?" I asked.
"We wouldn't if he didn't also arranged a gig the same time we did." Koko said with a laugh.
"And he actually told us the reason!" Kitsuneme said.
"Mikan! Listen!"
Just one fix
To keep me in the mix
And I'm still strung out on you
Drove all night
I'm the deer in your headlights
What's left of me
You'll swallow soon
Too much of you is never enough
This is not bad. Aside from the confused emotions and feelings that are mixed up inside me right now, it's good. I smiled at him. And again, his bright smile got bigger.
"So clichéd." I heard Natsume mutter to himself. I swear, I wanted to punch him hard, but I was too happy to do it.
"He could have made it 'Come on Mikan would you turn me on'." Ruka said with a weird expression on his face.
So when you gonna give it up
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly would you turn me on
Just another pretty face
But I want one more taste
Come on Holly would you turn me on
You took what you wanted
You got it
You know it
I'm haunted by everything
That you gave me
You made me
You broke me
You saved me
I'm crazy but I'm not done
So when you gonna give it up
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly would you turn me on
Just another pretty face
But I want one more taste
Come on Holly would you turn me on
When you gonna give it up
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly would you turn me on
Just another pretty face
But I want one more taste
Come on Holly would you turn me on
Everybody 'woo-ed' and clapped as the song ended. It was a very long applause. And then, they started shouting my name repeatedly.
"W-what?" I asked them. The crowd was saying so many things at the same time that I didn't understand.
Somebody then carried me to the stage over his shoulder. "HE-HEY!" I pounded on his back.
"Ow Mikan! You hit like a man!" he said. It was Tsubasa. He dropped me and I saw Kaname, smiling at me.
"Hi." He greeted me.
"H-he-hello." I said. I can feel myself blush. His band mates and the crowd moved towards us. This is so awkward. I shifted my feet. I don't know what to say, I can't even look at his eyes. Every time I try, I always end up looking at his smile or at his guitar, which was still hanging over his shoulder.
"This is awkward." He said with a laugh. "Anyway, did you like my song for you?" he said. "Yes! I-I-I.-"
"That's all I wanted to hear." He said, smiling as he quickly grabbed his effects board and stepped down for Still Fire.
"What?! So you're not courting her and all?!" Tsubasa exclaimed as he followed Kaname. Soon, I too, did follow them.
"Who said I wasn't?" Kaname said as he looked over his shoulder and gave his famous determined smile.
"That's the spirit!" Tsubasa said as he patted his best friend.
"Only if she'll allow me to court her." He said as he looked at me with his beautiful genuine smile. I just blushed. "Just say yes." Yuri whispered from behind me.
I tried my best to say it, but words just wouldn't come out. I just nodded and his smile widened. "Thank you Mikan." He said with a smile.
Then, a loud music was playing. It was Still Fire's turn now, and the crowd became a mosh pit.

Again, I used Holly (Would You Turn Me On) by All Time Low
OMG I SUCK LIKE HELL!!! (
Don't kill me
