That night Mikan was busy on the phone talking to Hotaru…
"Hey. You know what, I'm coming home" she said cheerfully.
The purple-eyed girl on the other line was shocked, "really? When"
"About a month. But not more than that. I'm all ready finishing everything around here, so I can come back early before our high school life starts" she replied.
"oh. Well, will that Kira guy join you here?" Hotaur asked coldly. Obviously not wanting him to join her best friend.
"I don't know. Maybe. If he likes. its not my decision to make anyway," Mikan said.
"oh," was her simple reply. I hope he doesn't go with her.
"Uuhh.. hey Hotaru… how's Na…Nat.. Natsume" she stuttered.
"Fine. I guess he hasn't change though," Hotaru replied, sadness was in her voice.
Flashback…
When Mikan was in her first week of stay she decided to call Hotaru…
"yes, hello. This is Hotaru Imai. Who's on the other line please?" she said politely.
"Wow, what a polite way to answer a phone. I miss you Hotaru. Its me Mikan," said the girl on the other line.
"Mikan. Is this really you? wait how will I know your telling the truth?" Hotaur said suspiciously.
"well, I'm your best friend who followed you there, get hit by your baka gun and left without saying goodbye personally. Is that enough or you want more?" Mikan said happily.
"I miss you so much. WE all do," she said emphasizing the we.
"How are you and the others?" Mikan asked.
"Nothing's change that much. we just miss your annoying voice sometimes and your smile too. I guess pretty much the same," she said doubting on what kind of expression should she use.
"I see. Um Hotaru… how about… about… Na- NAtsume?" she asked hesitantly.
"He's fine. Although he's actually cold with our classmates. But he's alright when we are around," Hotaru said.
Mikan was quiet for a moment, "I mean when I went away. how did he react?"
Hotaru think twice before answering her friend, "Seriously, he wasn't okay at all. For some reason he acted differently for the first few days. then he went on with his life and went through a lot of missions."
"I see. Well I have to say goodbye now. I will call again. I really miss you guys," Mikan said, sadness filled her voice.
For some reason, she felt sad with what's happening to Natsume's life.
End…
"sometime next month, its s surprise," Mikan said.
"Mikan, no more surprises. Remember the last time you gave a surprise you went away," Hotaru said.
"I promise. You'll all be shocked that I came back," Mikan said.
"I hope you have lots of gifts for us. Anyway, I have to go. Finals are coming up and I have to study," she replied.
"Alright. Good luck!" Mikan.
"Thanks. And I'm really glad that you're coming back. Hope to see you soon. Bye Mikan," Hotaru said and hung up.
"oh shoot i forgot to ask if that Kira guy will be with her," Hotaru told herself.
I'll be back. For all of you. and for you Natsume… Mikan thought.
The next day was the last day of the Finals and Hotaru meet up with her friends to tell the big news…
"It's the last day of finals. I feel so relieved," Nonoko said.
"Yah, and we'll all be in highschool next semester. That is if we pass," Anna said.
"I guess we will, Hotaru thought as," Nonoko replied.
"And Ruka was given special attention," Anna teases her blushing friend.
"Its no big deal. actually when you left last night I was hit like ten times by her so famous baka gun," Ruka said trying to massage his head for it still hurts.
Hotaru gave him a do-you-want-more look and Ruka could only look away.
"Hey Guys, Mikan's coming back," Hotaru said cheerfully. Her face lighten up with glee.
"Really?" Anna and Nonoko said in unison.
"Yes," Hotaru replied.
"When will she come back?" Ruka asked.
"Sometime next month," she replied again.
Just then Koko, Yuu and Natsume were about to sit in the table with all of their friends. She's coming back? Natsume thought to himself.
"Hey, what is it about Mikan going back? I read all your mind," Koko said.
"really?" Yuu asked.
"Yes, finally. She said she'll be back sometime next month," Hotaru said.
"Hey Natsume, you have the chance to tell her how you really feel," Ruka said.
"Hn…" was all they heard from him. Just then Koko stared at him and tried to read his mind, Natsume caught him and gave a don't'-even-dare-read-my-mind-or-you'll-burn-alive look and Koko looked away.
They all looked at him and thought, Maybe he isn't ready.
They all ate happily thinking of ways to welcome Mikan and Natsume just listen.
She's coming back. That's great. she is coming back…but... what will happen now? and thoughts of Mikan in his mind.
i hope you like. i'll update soon. read and review pls. thanks.
