Like I said before. The whole story is finished with an extra chapter of the future! Tell me what you guys think about it after you finish the story.
3 Days Later…Checkup day!
Kaito went and unlocked Natsume's room and ran out secretly into his black Mercedes Benz C200. He didn't want anyone to see Natsume as it'll put his name to shame to have a son who can't even do a thing, or so he thinks. No one in the clan knows about the existence of Natsume except for the driver who always sends Natsume to the clinic and the maid who always sends him food by the cook.
Reo snuck into the car as well with a wide grin placed on his face. Natsume was still asleep on Kaito's lap. When they arrived, Natsume was sent to the checkup room and Mamoru-sensei greeted him unusually. Natsume knows everything just by looking at people's eyes. He knows he's dying because of some of his symptoms in his body's not functioning well but he knows it's not going to be that reason today.
"OK, here's your little 'usual' medicine, Natsume-kun," The doctor tried hard to place a smile on his face. Natsume flinched when the extract of his blood came out and the 'antidote' to his sickness went in.
That hurt more than usual you bastard! Natsume commented in his head.
The doctor pulled Natsume into the X-Ray room and took a look at his body and inside symptoms. He gasped in a realistic way and dropped to the ground.
NO! NO! NO! This is way too fast. I knew I shouldn't put in that poison. No! The doctor screamed in his head. From the computer you can see the inside feature of Natsume's body. You can see his heart pumping, his thoracic cavity moving up and down as he breathes but one thing was definitely unusual. One of Natsume's lungs is bigger than the other. The other one was just too small, like an airless balloon.
"How is he, sensei? Any better?" Kaito asked Mamoru-sensei. Mamoru struggled to find the right words to explain what he did and he saw Reo looking at him, to be more precise, he was glaring at him. Mamoru-sensei nodded slowly in the direction of Reo which made him grin.
"I'm sorry to say, but Natsume-kun's time is getting nearer. One of his bronchus has been blocked and air can't come into his lungs so all the air that he breathes comes crushing into his other lung which makes the surface expand and soon will be destroyed. I can operate on it, I can!" Mamoru-sensei said then he faced and angry look of Reo. "But I can't do it without a spare lung incase one blows up or lose its muscles. He has less than two weeks"
"Oh, dear god! There must be a lot of lungs that can be used right?" Kaito asked desperately.
"I'm sorry, but we need a pure and perfect lung that has never touched anything like germs or bacteria, which is possibly, impossible," Mamoru-sensei faced his head down in regret of what he did. Reo was smiling happily.
"Well, I guess we have no other options then. Good bye then, sensei," Kaito greeted.
Natsume stared at the worried doctor and changed his glance towards the grinning brother. Natsume kept quiet about his thoughts and with what he knows. When Kaito, Reo and Natsume was about to leave the clinic, Natsume burnt and destroyed all the chemicals that was in the clinic and laboratory and it exploded suddenly which made everyone jump but him. Kaito ran outside to help all the other patients to get out. Reo seemingly was helping out, to save his own pathetic life.
Natsume smirked and faced the doctor, "Trying to get revenge on me just because I accidentally killed your family. Lame thing to say. I was only 4 at that time, idiot. What 'could' I think about other than milk, pee, shit and sleep? I WAS A KID! Have a life!" Natsume shouted at the doctor when Reo and Kaito were calling the police and the fire and rescue department.
Kaito realized it was the cause of fire that made the building explode so he looked at Natsume and ran to him. Kaito was trying to calm down Natsume because he thought Natsume was frustrated of the outcome of his checkup (which is possibly his last), even when the blast explosion was actually the cause of Natsume being mad at Reo and the doctor for trying and succeeding to kill him.
That same night…
Mikan happily snuck out from her head quarters as usual and met up with Natsume. Only, he was unusually near the pond of the clan grounds instead of his room which really surprised Mikan. She ran towards Natsume and placed a plastic of goodies next to him and she sat down.
"So…how's my plan working out?" Mikan smiled when she knows what the answer is though her answer was actually wrong.
Terrible…Natsume thought. "It's working fine, though I think…"
"Reo is such an idiot to believe such a made up story!" Mikan interrupted and laughed. Natsume knows that Mikan is trying to cheer him up with some thoughts but it's hardly working. Just trying to tell her that he's dying soon is tough. She's not really listening to anything he said.
"Let's go inside, it's getting colder here. How will you go back?" Natsume asked.
"Shooing me away already? That's cruel," Mikan huffed and smiled. "I'll find a way."
The couple walked inside Natsume's room. The whether started becoming windy but in a soothing atmosphere kind of way. Natsume found more hair dye inside the plastic bag that made him feel guilty since he knows he won't be able to go to school anymore because of his sickness.
"Look, Mikan…," Natsume started but stopped when he heard rustles outside of his room and saw a shadow figure which looks exactly like Reo's and he sighed deeply. That guy never stops. Natsume wanted something entertaining so he burnt some tree branches behind Reo and it made Reo jump and fell into the big rose bush behind him.
"I'm going to die soon," Natsume said slowly.
"You told me the same thing two years ago when I started hanging around you. You didn't die if you haven't notice," Mikan said and placed the hot cocoa in front of Natsume.
"I'm being serious here, Mikan. Mamoru-sensei said I'm losing a lung, there're chances that I'll die within less than a month," Natsume continued. Mikan dropped the mug of her hot cocoa. She looked away to the window and heard chuckles. She frowned and laid her hand in front of the window and a huge blast of wind hit Reo and sent him flying to the main house. She smiled and frowned when she saw Natsume's face.
"Coward," She said. "You're a fucking coward. You never lived your life to the fullest and only rely on the day you'll disappear from the face of the earth. Coward is the word my father taught me," Mikan said and glared at an astonished face Natsume.
Natsume stared at Mikan and listened carefully to what she said. Sure whatever she said was right, but it's too late now. He's dying and there're hardly any chances for him live.
"No chance, it's better if you just ignore me and pretend I'm already dead. Life would be easier and you can have a normal life," Natsume faced Mikan. Her face was red because she was mad, irritated, sad and angry.
Mikan shook her head in disappointment. "I was just thinking of helping you, but right now, I think the only way to help you is to not to see you ever again," Mikan slammed the door shut and he saw her run in the rain and jumped over trees.
Natsume was frustrated but he thought it was for the best. Now she can mix with other people and not get stuck with him for life. Suddenly, the door opened and Reo came in. He was covered with burnt leaves because of Natsume's fire and his hair was in a total mess because of Mikan's wind.
He suddenly smiled and flicked the leaves over his shoulder. Natsume frowned.
"What do you want now? You still haven't won," Natsume said.
"What are you saying? She left you, there's no other person she could go to other than me, her fiancé. She's mine completely now, and it's your entire fault," Reo said. "I . HAVE . WON!"
Natsume let out an evil laugh and glared at Reo. "Do you think she's going to leave me alone like this and in an ill condition? You still don't understand her. She's going to find some way to save me; you won't have the chance to take her back from me. Like I said as Takuya, she's in my trance. She does everything for me," Natsume continued.
God…please don't let her do anything for me. She has done enough. I deserve to die. I did nothing but burden everyone else. Natsume prayed.
Around 2 weeks have passed by like the wind and Mikan saw neither Takuya nor Natsume once. She didn't see them at all; they're dead to her as he told her to think. But the thought of him dying is totally out of her mind. She has to do something. She can't let him die. She'll be stupid if she does leave him to die without any trying.
"Ne, Mikan-san. Where's Takuya-kun?" Koko asked.
Mikan struggled to answer that question. Could she really say he's dead? Could she accept that fact when it really happens? "He's at home. It's seems like he's becoming a lazy ass like he told me he was." She answered and left the boy to understand that sentence on his own.
That's it. I'll go see that bloody doctor who's killing Natsume. Reo and he are behind this, and I intend to redo all their plans again until Natsume lives. Mikan punched her fist to her palm and contacted her driver to send her to FC Clinic to visit Mamoru-sensei.
"You really can't do anything to prevent his death? YOU MADE THE POISON! You must have the antidote! There has to be?! What if you accidentally took it? You'll have a back up antidote right?" Mikan shouted in the clinic.
Mamoru-sensei shut his mouth. He won't say a thing. "There is no way to cure a malfunctioning lung…unless," He strutted.
"'Unless' WHAT?!" Mikan asked.
"To cure it, he needs a new lung. One that won't be rejected by his body and fits perfectly inside him. That lung must never have alcohol, drugs or nicotine smoke," Mamoru-sensei said. "But there are no lungs like that in my lab. All the donors had at least smoked once."
"Mine…," Mikan whispered. "You can have mine. SAVE HIM WITH MINE! He'll live! My lung isn't corrupted!" Mikan shouted happily.
"Being an organ donor practically means that I can only take that organ…after you die," Mamoru-sensei explained.
"Natsume deserves to live longer! I'll do anything! You have to take my lung for him!" Mikan begged.
"Then explain to me what was the use of me putting in the poison inside him? He was supposed to die! He deserves to die!" Mamoru-sensei shouted.
SLAAAAP!!
Mikan slapped Mamoru-sensei's face hard and it left a red mark on his cheek. "No one deserves to die without even having to live." Mikan said. "Your daughter's death wasn't the cause of Natsume," Mikan said. "I was there at the scene, that age when Reo, Natsume and I were 4, Natsume didn't have his fire powers yet."
Mamoru-sensei was shocked to hear this piece of new information.
"Reo had them!" Mikan said. "Reo had it from the age of 1 till 9 and Natsume had it from 10 till now. That's the disadvantage of being twins inside the FC clan. Reo killed your daughter and your wife. NATSUME HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!" Mikan shouted.
"But…but…Natsume admitted that he killed my family," Mamoru-sensei struggle to find words in his sentence.
"Oh, who wouldn't?! If you were told day by day and year by year that you killed someone, wouldn't you accept the fact someday even when deep in your mind you know you didn't do a bloody thing? That's what happened to Natsume! Reo shut his mind when he killed someone years ago, that's how he manage to talk like anyone else and he doesn't sound or look like a murderer," Mikan explained. "Now could you please help Natsume? Just to say sorry, please do it." Mikan begged.
"If you insist on doing the operation of being a donor, please sign this form," Mamoru-sensei said and went to his desk and retrieved a form and handed it over to Mikan. Mikan smiled and filled up the form happily. By the minute Mikan left the building, she went to the car and told the driver that she'll be hanging around in the FC clan's ground and sent her car off.
She ran towards FC clan and was able to enter simply by her yakuza status. Everyone greeted her, in front of everyone, she has a straight face which states 'don't mess with me' and everyone respects that about her.
"Mikan-chan, how are you? It's been weeks since you last visited us," Kaito asked and invited her into the tea room. Mikan received the equipments to make Japanese tea and finished doing it less than 5 minutes even when that style was meant to finish within 20 minutes, but since she was in a hurry, she had to finish of her stuff quickly.
"I'm fine, more or less, how is Reo doing? I hardly see him in school nowadays," Mikan asked.
"Oh, umm…he's attending a fencing competition in Tokyo so he's not here in the mean time. Ano ne… Mikan-chan, I have a secret that I seriously have to share with you, it includes you," Kaito said. Mikan finished her drink and looked at Kaito solemnly.
"I…I have another son," Kaito admitted.
Mikan barfed out her tea in an unusual way. The way she did it wasn't graceful nor was it nice to see. Kaito was shocked by her behavior. Mikan then placed the sweetest smile Kaito has ever seen on her face.
"So you can finally accept the fact that you can tell me about Natsume?" Mikan asked. The reason she laughed just now was because the way she heard him say it was like he was saying he has been unfaithful and had …'censored'… with another woman and got a new born child.
"You know about Natsume? How?" Kaito asked.
"I fell in love with Natsume, not Reo. Reo was never my type. He's cruel, ABSOLUTELY unfaithful and really sick!" Mikan commented and Kaito looked at Mikan. It was the first time he chatted with Mikan like a friend and not formally like all successors speaks to each other like.
"By the way, that is not the reason I'm here. The thing is, I won't be here any longer. I'm breaking the engagement as of now. I have no reason to stay in the yakuza group any longer. I would appreciate it if you'd follow my request, let Natsume regain his status again. Let him be the heir to Fire Casters, and my clan itself," Mikan asked and kneeled down below Kaito.
"Please! Do not kneel! It doesn't feel right to me! I may speak formally, by my tone is always treating you like a daughter to me, so please, do not kneel nor bow before me," Kaito pushed Mikan up. "I'll follow your request, but the thing is I can't, Natsume is dying real soon! Reo is the only heir left," Kaito continued.
Mikan stood up and dusted her clothes. "That's where you're wrong Kaito-sama. Natsume will live. He's strong just babyish." Mikan commented that left through the door. When Kaito wanted to call her back, he opened the door but she vanished.
Mikan vanished and appeared in front of Natsume's room. As she was about to knock she heard the shatters of glass pieces. She looked through the window and saw Reo and Natsume fighting with each other. Reo's in a fencing competition, eyh? What a rip off.
Natsume was weak according to her, he couldn't make his fire throws and Reo had cuts from the vase and glasses that Natsume threw at him. Those vases and glasses were all made by Mikan and she gave it as a gift to Natsume 2 years ago. He still kept it till now, well, until it broke.
Now Mikan really felt that she really needed to help Natsume because he looked so weak. She ran out from the clan's grounds and suddenly appeared at a nearby ocean cliff.
"Should I just die here? Commit suicide?" Mikan asked herself. She sat on a bench and looked at the sunset.
"If I die now, the doctor will know where I am and get me to the hospital instantly. And by night time, my lungs will be transferred into Natsume's body, and I will no longer be here. It'll be dark at night, so Natsume won't see me. He'll survive tomorrow and onwards. He'll live, wouldn't he? Oh god! Tell me what I've gotten myself into?" Mikan placed her hands on her face. Then a cool wind breezes through her finger partings and touched her face.
"Am I doing the right thing?" Mikan asked and looked at the sky. Two pigeons flew freely and one landed on Mikan's shoulder.
"ChiChi! You're back? Was your honeymoon that fast?" Mikan laughed when she realized she was talking to a bird. The other pigeon landed on Mikan's other shoulder. "Now where in the world did you two go this time? The Artic?" Mikan joked. She stood up then the birds flew away above the clouds.
Mikan walked over the gate that separates the cliff from her death. She stood still and looked back up and saw her pigeons still flying around. I just hope you'll be as free as ChiChi, Natsume. Good luck with your operation. Mikan wished and jumped.
