Disclaimer: As usual, I'll declare that GA is not mine and the song that I used is not too.
Writer's Note: Yo everyone! I have to apologize for the very late update of this story. o We went back to restore our Villa and left our previous house so right now we have no internet. Worst is our school is blocking FFN and I seriously don't know how did they know about this site. =.=' But anyway, I'm here in some random restaurant eating dinner. And this place has a wifi so I'm grabbing this chance to upload this chapter. (I originally finished typing this chapter last two weeks ago.) I'MSORRYFORGRAMMARERROR!
Think About Love.
Cause I still feel that all the things I did before
When you used to need it more remember all the ways
You fix me how, you fixed me now.
And if you ever feel injured
Bruised and battered
Are you sore?
Then I will tell that one to just breathe, breathe.
Mariana's Trench's Fix Me

—Yuuto, how many times should I tell you that I don't like you?
"Ruka," I called without looking in his eyes. He stopped shaking me. "We should go to Nagoya now." His hands slowly dropped to his sides as we both stood up and took a seat on the sofa.
"What happened?" He worriedly asked.
"I don't think I can let them have the fun as we sulk here." I shrugged and let out a fake smile, supposed that he would take it as a joke.
He sighed. "Why don't you tell me, Mikan? I know you heard something from the phone."—and he did not. Ugh.
"Please," I gazed at his cerulean orbs. "Can we just go to Nagoya?"
"Alright," He smiled at me and I did the same. "Get ready. I'll text Natsume and ask where the exact location is." I nodded.
I went upstairs to my room and closed the door behind me. Now that I think about it, how many set of dresses should I bring? Maybe I should bring three sets? Nah, I would bring lots of dress to be sure.
Ѿ—Ѿ
After an hour of preparation, three hours of travel and we were in front of a big white house in Nagoya. And I could see four cars parked. Obviously, the red one is owned by the Natsume Hyuuga; the yellow for Koko's possession; white car meant to Kitsuneme's control; and last was the black one which happened to be Yuuto's. So where did Luna and my mother hop to? Tch, never mind.
Ours—I mean, Ruka owned the blue tinted car. I like the color. HAH.
"What are you doing here?"
Ruka and I looked at the owner of the voice.
"Oh, Yuuto." I smiled at him and continued. "If ever my mother is inside and my dorm mates are in that freaking house too, will you still ask me what am I doing here?"
I'm a professional when it comes to hiding my feelings. So even if I was worried about this jerk in front of me because he was rejected, I wouldn't let him know. I had pride with me and I would never shatter it just because of him.
Ruka coughed out a laugh while Yuuto rolled his eyes. "Maan, you were supposed to tell everyone about this outing. I feel so out of place."
"You know what Ruka, I purposely did not tell you this because you suck." Yuuto scoffed and I glared at him. Ruka rubbed my arm to probably calm me down but I shook his hand off.
"Look here, Yuuto," I pointed my forefinger at his chest. "If you ever insult my dorm mates again, you are so gonna get it." I pushed him and stomped my way in the house. Ruka tailed behind me.
"Aren't you two rude with each other to be engaged?" He asked with a laugh.
I heaved a sigh and faced him with my hands opened though eyes were closed. "Don't make my blood boil more, Ruka. Please."
"O-Okay, easy," He sweat dropped as I continued to walk. "Oh!"
I stopped. "What is it, Ru—"
"Yo. You two are fast. We were talking just a few hours ago." Natsume said and smirked at me. I raised an eyebrow and folded my arms with each other. He moved a little to his left which made Luna appear. She was talking with Koko and the others. I also admit that Luna looked really gorgeous with her white long dress.
I walked pass of Natsume, "Guys, what you are doing here?"
"Oh Mikan! Come and drink some of this vodka!" Koko shouted and pulled his hand up that shown the pink bottle of vodka. "It tastes good!"
I went towards him, took the bottle, and placed it on the table. "Where's mom?"
"Hey girl, I think it is rude not to greet me because this is my welcome party." Luna mocked beside me. I looked at her and smiled. I pointed my chest as my gesture if she was talking about me. She nodded. "Who else is a girl here besides me?"
"Let's be clear here, bitch," The boys eyes' went big and let out an 'ohhh~' sound. Who else is a bitch here? "I was not invited here, same with Ruka. I am here for my mother and not for your stupid celebration or party." I turned my heels and flipped my hair as I walked ahead. Maybe my mother was in the living room.
As I entered the main house, I saw my mother watching some kind of romantic movie with a container of popcorn in her hands. "Mom, let's go home."
She looked at me while munching some popcorn with teary eyes. "Mikan, my daughter, let's stay here until Sunday."
"Are you crying to beg me or because of that movie?" I asked her as she faced the television back while I took a seat beside her. I cupped an amount of popcorn and put it in my mouth.
"Isn't it obvious? This movie is super sad!" She sniffed.
I shook my head in dismay. "Mom, why don't we go home and just watch it in our house?"
"Mikan, your mother is relaxing and besides you haven't been here in Nagoya right? Ask Yuuto to accompany you tomorrow in some places! It'll be fun, trust me." She said while looking in my eyes. She brought my head on her shoulder and brushed my hair with her fingers.
Mom knew that I was angry since she did not tell me about this. But she also knew that I love being hugged by her and it could make me forget the things that made me stressed. I don't know if I should be happy that she was hugging me because I would certainly nod to her in agreement and stay here for the next three days.
Ѿ—Ѿ
I took a seat on a bench near the fountain as I was waiting for my sleeping fairy and make me sluggish. I agreed to mom that we would spend three days and two nights here in Luna's Villa. It would be nice to breathe some fresh air here in Nagoya from time to time. But we will be absent tomorrow. It should be fine because tomorrow will be Friday.
"Hey Mikan," Greeted the rough voice. I looked at my back and I saw Mochu making his way towards me. I smiled and gave him a single nod. He sat beside me, flattened his back, and closed his eyes.
I raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell me you're here to take a nap?" I jokingly asked.
"Not really." He opened his eyes and met my hazel orbs. "You heard us, right?"
"Huh?" I blinked.
He giggled but that even made me confused. What was funny? "I saw you eavesdropped. Well, we all saw you and purposely let you hear our feelings."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb. I won't be angry, you know?"
"I honestly don't know what you are talking about, Mochu."
His defiant stare made the two of us quite. I tilted my head and tried to look as an empty head as I could. I had no reason to play stupid and I didn't know whatever he was talking about. And it had something to do with what? Their feelings?
"At school, in our meeting place: the bathroom," He suddenly stated, breaking the ice.
"Meeting place?" I furrowed my brows. "Bathroom?" He slapped his forehead and shook his head. "W-what? I'm sorry, okay? I don't remember."
He looked intently in my eyes and gulped an amount of air. There was a minute of intervention before he opened his mouth to start something. I waited. "I'm in love with you. Koko is in love with you. Kitsuneme is in love with you. Meaning, all of us are in love with you. You heard us talking about it in the men's bathroom. Am I right?"
My jaw dropped on the floor. "…O-Oh,"
"Remember now?" He grinned.
I brought my feet up, cuddled myself on it, and nodded. "I remember now…but what about it?"
"What about it?" The way Mochu asked it was like he was amused or what. "What if I'll tell you that I'd like to hear your answer about it?"
"You already know my answer." I muttered sadly.
He pouted. "Yeah. It's 'I have a fiancé'" He said, mimicking my voice. I glowered at him and punched his arm playfully. "We already know that, Mikan."
"Then if you knew, why keep on having feelings?" I angrily said, almost shouting.
"Why don't you ask yourself about that?" Someone butted in. Both Mochu and I snapped our heads to the back and saw Natsume walked just before us. "Why do you keep on having feelings to a person who doesn't even like you? Doesn't even want to like you?"
I widened my eyes. Now that I think about it, Natsume knew that Yuuto doesn't like me! It was at that time when I called Yuuto for breakfast. Yuuto got mad at me and grabbed my wrist. I tried to get out from his tight grip but I was too weak. Fortunately, Natsume came and told me that mom was calling and it was killing his ears.
H-He knew that Yuuto doesn't have feelings for me. And it got his guts to ask me to be his fake girlfriend! It all made sense now! Why didn't I think about this before? I'm so stupid!
"What are you saying, Natsume?" Mochu narrowed his eyes. He looked serious while I trembled for I just realized a big stupidity. I let someone know so much about myself.
Natsume raised his brow. "You didn't know?"
"Regarding what?" Mochu asked. Natsume creased his forehead and glanced at me.
I held Mochu's sleeves and shook my head. "Please go inside, Mochu." He looked at me in curiosity but I looked at Natsume instead. "I need to talk to this guy alone."
"But—"
I cut his sentence off. "This is a request. It's my first request ever."
He sighed in defeat and stood up. I watched him till he was out of my sight before I turned to Natsume. His hands were tucked in his pockets and he also followed Mochu by his eyes. Then he gazed in my eyes with his stoic expression. I folded my arms and crossed my legs.
"I already know why you want to have a fake girlfriend." I uttered. He flinched a little but maintained his poise. I smirked at his reaction. I'm now sure that what Ruka said was true.
"Of course you do. I already told you why." He smugly replied.
"But what you told me is a lie." I said in my gritted teeth. "Your father ordered you to find a girl that you will love for eternity!"
He glared at me, slowly nearing his face to mine. "So what if you know that?"
"So what?" I stood up with both of my closed fists at my sides. "Natsume, obey your father! It is also for your own good. Find the girl that you would love of and love you back!"
"Don't act all high mighty. You don't know anything about this, about love. What I do is right and I don't require your opinion concerning the way I do things." He angrily stated and made me fall back to the bench. I dropped an amount sweats and stared at the floor while he started to walk away.
I only said what was right and he doesn't need to be that mad. What on earth is with that guy?
Ѿ—Ѿ
I was in a deep thought as I was walking in the hallway towards my room. I wonder why Natsume got mad before. I couldn't see any reasons to it. And that Mochu was getting on my nerves! Those boys were annoying! Why my love life does have to be this crazy? I don't deserve anything like this. I just want to have a simple lo—
"Mikan!" I raised my head and saw Ruka's scowl. "I've been calling you for like ten times already." He was taken aback when he noticed my face. "What the hell is with your appearance?"
I sniffed. "Ruka…" I protruded my bottom lip. "Unfair, unfair, unfair, unfaaaaiiirrr!" I punched his chest over and over again and whined nonstop. I knew that this looked stupid but I just had to let out my aggravation over somebody.
"Calm down Mikan." He grabbed my arms to stop me from hurting him. Then I felt my knees weaken and my tears ran down to my cheeks. Ruka bent down to my level and hugged me. "You can tell me everything. I'll listen."
"I l-lied! I know wha-what love is! A-and I'm in love with Yuuto!" I whimpered and buried my face on my hands as I shook my head. "…but he doesn't want to try to like me. He hates me with all his heart."
And in this corridor, I spent three hours crying in front of Ruka.
