I Like You, Natsume-oniisan

Chapter 22: Possibilities

"Who is Hyuuga?" Mikan mumbled softly.

"There is a lot of Hyuugas and their brands in this world. Hyuuga's Chocolate, Lovely Hyuuga Puffs, Hyuuga's Magazine Times and even in Naruto manga series- Neji Hyuuga, Hinata Hyuuga and the Hyuuga Clan."

Mikan turned around and gawked at Hotaru.

"What are you talking about?"

"Based on what you have told me about that email matter, I can somehow link it to that night's incident," Hotaru whispered as she was scribbling something down in her notebook. "That Hyuuga person must be related to your brother and the will that she keeps talking about might be a death will."

"Onii-san's death will?" Mikan shrieked.

"Maybe. Who knows? He might be tired of living in this world so that is why he wrote a will and planned to donate his money to that Hyuuga person after his death. Thus, making his girlfriend super jealous and cheated on him," Hotaru recited from the notebook in a dramatic manner. "Does he have cancer or something?"

"I... I don't know. What if his bachelor blues got over him and he couldn't take it, so he wants to take his life away and then he wrote that will?"

"What if that Hyuuga person is a girl and he likes her? That will make her as his second mistress but Nobara had found out earlier than he had expected. Then, she ran on rampage and slept with a guy to punish your brother by bring home a child which is not his!"

Mikan clasped her hand and agreed, "I like your theory, Hotaru. Very logical indeed."

"Yeah, very logical indeed," Hotaru smiled and then her smile immediately vanished. "So, the moral of the story is that your brother is a player while his girlfriend is a slut. So, case closed."

"But do you think Onii-san will die? His death will..."

"Like I said, who knows? That will might be written by that Hyuuga person and that Hyuuga person might be your brother's secret girlfriend. Nobara is just a jealous pig who bears someone else's child to punish him. It's their affair, Mikan. We don't have to know too much." Hotaru sighed. "Neither do I think that he will die too."

Upon hearing that, Mikan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Alright, class! It's Health Lesson!" Yuka shouted while slamming the books on her desk. "Good morning, students!"

The whole class stood up and greeted her before sitting back down. Yuka flipped through a book and murmured something which cannot be heard by the class.

Then, she finally spoke clearly, "I'm sure you guys know how to wash your hands before and after meals, brush your teeth, choose the right food to eat and most of other boring health stuffs. So, I am not going through those anymore."

Everyone cheered and clapped their hands.

"And there is something exciting conducting in next week's health lesson," Yuka continued and snickered. "It's time for you guys to boost your immune systems!"

The whole class quietened down. It was so obvious that they were going to face their worst nightmare of their lives- injection.

"Noooooooo!"

"Oh, yes!" Yuka laughed like a mad person and slammed her book down again. "To cheer you wimpy children on, I will teach you all your most favourite and crucial topic of Health Education today!"

"Noooooooo!"

"It's sexuality education!" Yuka yelled to complete with the noise level.

Finally, the class quietened down again.

"I knew it, you dirty-minded children. You all love this topic a lot. Don't deny this fact because your seniors are the same as well." Yuka laughed again. "Let's start from the basic. The male produced sperms while the female produce an ovum each month. As we learn in Biology, the sperm will fertilise the egg to form a zygote. For now, I will teach you the opposite."

"What? You mean the female can produce sperm while the male can produce egg now?" Anna gasped.

Yuka coughed, "No, of course not. What I will be teaching you guys is to prevent fertillisation from taking place. Or should I say, preventing premarital sex?"

"Geez! You scared me earlier, Yuka-sensei!" Anna heaved a sigh of relief.

Hotaru whispered to Mikan, "Nobara Ibaragi should attend this lesson."

"I... I agree!" Mikan nodded frantically.

"Tobita-san, when someone hands you a smelly sock, what will you do?" Yuka asked.

Yuu fumbled with his pen and looked up from his book.

"Smelly sock? I... I will wash it," he answered shyly.

"You should say 'no, thanks'," Yuka corrected. "Imai-san, if someone wants you to commit suicide, what will you say?"

Hotaru rubbed her chin and replied, "I will say 'depends'."

"No, you should say the magic word!"

"Magic word? Open sesame?"

Yuka sighed, "It's 'no', Imai-san. Anyway, if someone hands you drugs, what will you say?"

"Thank you."

Yuka'a jaws dropped. Did Hotaru just say that? It was ridiculous.

"You should say the magic word, Imai-san."

"But selling drugs can earn a lot of money... Wait, how are smelly sock, committing suicide and receiving drugs got to do with sexuality education?" Hotaru queried.

Yuka beamed and answered, "Good question, Imai-san. In fact, I am trying to teach all of you to say the magic word 'no' in some cases like the previous ones I was asking you all. This can be applied in cases like when someone asks you to do it, you know what I mean. Then, you know what to do and say. Of course, saying 'no' to that person is a magic word unless you are married and ready for it. You know, this word is so powerful that it can prevent you from becoming pregnant and contracting diseases like herpes and AIDs."

"Ibaragi-san should really listen to this," Mikan said softly. "I won't allow her to spread whatever diseases to Onii-san."

"Ah! You do know about STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), don't you? I thought you are stupid enough not to know about that," Hotaru sneered.

"Of course, I know. Didn't we learn this before in junior high? I was so scared that I nearly vomitted in class," Mikan snorted and rested her face on her palm.

Suddenly, a student raised up his hand and asked, "Did Yuka-sensei ever say 'no' to the person who asked you to do it?"

"Eh?"

Yuka was stunned by the question. Her smiled vanished from her face and her eyes widened like she had seen a death scene in front of her. Everyone in the class was quiet and was staring at her curiously.

"Yuka-sensei, are you all right?"

"It's okay if you can't answer him because we know that you would sure say the magic word since you kept emphasizing it."

"I... I didn't say it at all," Yuka's voice softened. "I've failed to say it."

Her hands ran down her stomach and she closed her eyes. She was obviously shivering.

"What do you mean, Sensei? Don't tell me you have done it before?"

"It couldn't be, right? Yuka-sensei?"

"The reason why I chose to be a Health and Biology teacher is because I don't want to see children and teenagers doing the same thing as I did the last time," Yuka spoke weakly. "I had done it before with a man whom I loved a lot during my school days and got pregnant. However, that man left me and because of my incapability to take care of the child, I got rid of her. That's why I don't want to see my students to suffer like I did the last time. It hurts... It hurts to throw away your own child..."

Mikan flinched. It reminded her of her mother who abandoned her outside the orphanage. There might be a possibility that Yuka's child might be her since they looked horribly alike.

"... and worst of all, my child died in the incinerator."

Upon hearing that, Mikan's hopes were crushed. She sighed deeply and rested her face on her palm again. There was no way that her real mother was alive too.

"So, that child who died in the incinerator was not a dog but her own child. Hers and her sensei's child," Hotaru analysed and looked at the dismayed Mikan. "For a moment, I really thought that there might be a possibility that..."

"I know," Mikan mumbled. "But who cares? I got my foster parents and Natsume-oniisan. That matters more to me now."

Yuka regained her composure and said, "That is my story and I really hope you have learnt something from it. By the way, don't tell anyone about it, okay? Or else, no more real life stories from me. Anyway, let's continue with the lesson!"

And from here, the lesson went on.

Next chapter: Uncovering Truth

"Well, I love Hyuuga too. Of course, it's the will I am talking about."

"What about the death will? Is Onii-san going to die? That will... When and where did you see it?"

"Natsume Andou... Do you take Nobara Ibaragi as your wife?"

"Mikan Andou, you had promised me... You are in love with Natsume Andou, your brother who has been living with you under the same sickening roof since young."

"No, I don't love him at all. Not at all."
