Misaki led Mikan to their room and once inside, sat abruptly to the sofa.
-Knock! Knock!-
"Who is it?!" yelled Misaki to the door.
"It's me, Hotaru" said the girl from behind it.
Mikan got out of the kitchen and open the door to let her best friend inside.
"Hotaruu~!! It's been so long!" said Mikan as she threw herself towards Hotaru with eyes shimmering in delight.
-Baka! Baka! Baka!-
"Hotaru!! What did you do that for?!" cried Mikan while trying to get up.
"You are so noisy. You don't have to go all extreme." Hotaru coldly said, not minding the brunette.
"Oh yeah! Where have you been all this time Hotaru?" Mikan asked
"Uhm, could I say it to you in your room?" Hotaru said as she walked towards it anyway.
-Miakn's room-
"So, where have you been all this time?" Mikan said as soon as she closed the door behind her.
"The school wants to recruit me." Hotaru answered
"What?! How did they know? Are you that famous that even The Gakuen Alice knows about you?! That's great Hotaru, I always knew that someday you will eventually do something great." Mikan proudly said
"I declined Baka. That means I have to work for them 24/7. And…" Hotaru looked at Mikan. "Some other stuff."
"Why?! This is the biggest opportunity that will ever happen to you!" Mikan said. "Wait a minute… did you say 24/7?! It's a good thing you didn't!"
"I will surely miss you a lot, Hotaru!" Mikan cling at Hotaru.
"Slow" Hotaru muttered under her breath.
----Misaki's side of the story----
Misaki got her cell phone from her bag and dialed a number.
-Ring! Ring!-
"Hello?" a husky old voice answered.
"Grandpa? It me, Misaki."
"Oh Misaki! So, any news?" Grandpa said
"We kinda have a problem. Remember what I told you? About me being in a job for Gakuen alice and then you said 'don't it's too dangerous' but then I did. Well, Natsume is here and I think we are getting some attention." Misaki said, nonstop.
"Oka~y. How can you say that you're getting some attention?" Grandpa asked
"Well, Natsume and Mikan are hanging around a lot lately and you know those Hyuuga, they wouldn't want anything to happen to their next heir. What should we do Grandpa?" Misaki worriedly said.
"I think its time for Mikan to know the truth." Grandpa said
(Gulp) "T-The truth? O-okay, if you say so gran." Misaki said
"Well. Good luck with that and remember, break it to her gently. It must be painful for her to recall her parents." Grandpa said, sounding extremely worried for the brunette.
"Dewa kore de. (Good bye for now)" Grandpa said before he hang up
"M-matte ku- fine…" then Misaki hangs up too
Hotaru and Mikan went out of the room, laughing and talking animatedly.
"Well, curfew is almost up. Ja!" waved Hotaru good bye.
"Bye Hotaru!!" Mikan said Hotaru
Door closed.
Misaki motioned Mikan to sit beside her after the latter got a glass of juice from the refrigerator.
"Mikan, listen carefully to what I'm about to say okay?" Misaki said after a short pause
Seeing Mikan listening attentively, Misaki continued "Do you remember the story I told you about how your parents died?"
"Pfffffftt.." some Juice spilled from the mouth of Mikan to the face of Misaki when she heard it. "Wha-, yeah. They died because they got caught up in a middle of a fight, then they got shot by the rival company… its very tragic indeed." *nod nod*
"Do you know which company did it?" Misaki asked as she wiped her face with a clean towel
"G-gomen, lemme think, nope. You haven't told me yet, you said that I have to wait 'till the proper time comes." Mikan answered.
"Well, that time is now." Misaki said. "Are you ready to hear it?"
Mikan took a deep, deep breath, sighed and nodded. "Yes."
"Sakuraban corp. and the Hyuuga Inc. are two of the largest company in Japan and both are vying for number 1. Of course, the Sakuraban corp. got the position. You see Mikan, Power can make you do stuff and change you. At first, the two companies are friends but everything changed when the Hyuuga Inc. started ruining the other. It gives the Sakuraban Corp. no other choice but to fight and that is how it started. Here comes the hard part." Misaki paused "Then on unfaithful night."
-Flashback-
Misaki is standing in front of the dead bodies of Yukihara and Yuka with eyes wide open. Then, an old man came rushing towards her with a little brunette girl closed by his side.
"You girl, please bring her out of here as safely and as fast as possible okay?" Grandpa said in a gentle yet with voice of authority.
"Y-yes." Misaki said, startled. For what can a 7 years old girl can say to the owner of the mansion.
"Do you know a way out other than the main and the back door?" Grandpa asked
"Hai. My family has been serving yours in 5 generations already." Misaki proudly said
"That's good."
Then, 5 men in black suit came running towards them.
"GO! And don't let them catch you!" Grandpa instructed. "I'm going to stop them."
Misaki grabbed Mikan's wrist and led her out of the scene.
After minutes of running
Pant. Pant.
"Let's rest here for a while, Mikan-sama?" Misaki said to chibi Mikan.
"Ne, where is oka-sama, oto-sama?" ask the little brunette
'Awkward!' Misaki thought to herself. "A-ano, you see Mikan-sama, your parents are… in *gulp* heaven…"
"Heaven? Is Heaven safe?" Mikan confusedly asked
"Y-yeah, heaven probably is the safest place now though you may never-"
Misaki was cut short when two men wearing black from before are running towards them.
"Oh crap!" Misaki said unconsciously, then she grabbed Mikan's wrist again and rushed away.
"What is "Crap"?" Mikan said as she scrambled to her own feet.
"Oh sh~ I mean it's a soap." Nervous laughs
"Then why wouldn't you just say "Oh soap"?" Mikan asked.
Misaki sighed. 'This girl sure asks a lot of questions!'
"Just never mind that, okay?" Misaki smiled to Mikan, who in return smiled back
"I'm Mikan Sakuraban by the way, what's your name onee-san?" Mikan said
"I'm Misaki, Misaki Harada."
"Nice to meet you!" Mikan smiled brightly.
"Mikan! Don't look back! No matter happens, don't you ever look back!"Misaki suddenly said. "Oh no" she murmured.
"What's wrong Misaki-chan?" Mikan asked
"Were stuck…" was all Misaki could say.
The two men are getting nearer and nearer to them. "ahw, come on now princess. Don't be scared" the man said as he tried to reach for Sakura.
"Don't touch her!" Misaki hissed as she grabs the wrist of the man and twisted it.
"Get this bitch of me!" the man said to his comrade, crying in pain.
The other man grabs the arms of Misaki and threw her on the wall. Then he walked to where Sakura is. "Come little child..." he said as he reached for her with a dagger in her hand. " It won't hurt a bit. . ."
-CRASH-
Grandpa stood above an injured person, the comrade who came after them.
"Sorry about that. I couldn't stop all of them at once." Grandpa said as he avoided an attack from the other remaining black suited guys.
"You are indeed young my child, but you still have much to learn." He said to him. Then he did his upper-cut and kicked him in his groin which made the guy lay unconscious on the ground.
"Let's go." Grandpa said.
-Outside the mansion-
"Misaki, I know that you don't have to work for us now since your parents… died. You can now choose your own life." Grandpa said to Misaki as he held the sleeping Mikan tightly.
"N-no. I want to work for you cuz you're… the only family I have left." Misaki said, trying to hold back her tears from falling. Her tears betrayed her big time.
Grandpa gently patted Misaki's head. "Welcome to the family hun."
-End of flashback-
"Only a few of your riches are left. Your Grandpa treated me as his own child and as a way of thank you; I took care of you for 15 years." Misaki said. "A few week after that, some loyal friends of your grandpa said that those assassins were sent by the Hyuuga Family.
Misaki remained silent, trying to let all of them sink in into her head.
"Now Mikan, do you still like Natsume Hyuuga? It's not my choice to make and I trust that you will make the right decision." Mikan continued.
Mikan suddenly stood up and went inside the room, leaving the teary eyed Misaki behind the living room.
