Lion And The Lamb

Chapter 5

"mommy? Where is Tsubasa-nii?" I looked at my mother. Her smile was so sad that I got curious. Where was my brother?

He was standing at the tree at his own funeral. How was that possible? But even if he was alive, why wasn't he here with me?

"mommy? Doesn't Tsubasa-nii like me?" my mom let tears fall as she extended her arms to pull me on her lap.

"no, of course not. Why would you say that?" I felt tears come up in my big eyes.

"because, Tsubasa-nii isn't coming back!"

"WHY WOULD HE DO THAT!"

"I HATE HIM!"

I woke up by something smashing against the window. Startled and sweating I tried to catch my breath. Thank god it's just the storm.

I looked at the clock and grabbed my phone. "hey Sabaru? Yeah it's me Mikan. Sorry for calling you so late. But I wanted to talk"

Are dreams real? Or are they just a piece of our imagination. I used to have a lot of weird dreams when I was little. Most were Tsubasa related. But some… some were about me and those dreams were becoming a reality.

Maybe that was what scared me most… dreaming something and then knowing it will become real. But lately I had some nice dreams too… a few though. They were about Natsume.

Weird right? I don't know him, yet I dream about him. Well, I gotta say he makes me very curious. He is so sexy and yet mysterious. Although, he doesn't get all cold with me. Which I like, makes me feel different. Which I am obvious.

Natsume Hyuuga and Shadow Hyuuga… funny they have both the same last name…HOLY MOLY! There brothers. Shit, that took me long to figure out.

I want to know more about Natsume… I want to understand him. I rolled on my belly as I looked at the alarm clock. Why is it that when I'm free I can't sleep!

Maybe I should pay Younchi a visit. I mean since I have been here, I didn't go once to his house. Okay, since I am already up I mind as well take a shower.

When I shower I always think about those horror movies. You know the one where someone dies in the shower? Kind of creepy. Because of the shower curtain you can't see who is on the other side.

So I always peek through a little hole in the shower curtain to make sure I am safe. I mean I ain't dying in the shower!

OH MY GOD! How cool would it be to shower in chocolate. Hmmm…that would really make my day. So as I finished I pulled the towel around me and walked to the closet to get something to wear.

I quickly grabbed a jeans and a hoodie. My hair looks like a bird NEST! *sigh* will just have to pull it in a messy knot.

As I got finished I walked out of the room and into the kitchen. I could hear dad snoring away to dreamland. I grabbed a bowl and poured a lot of CHOCO POPS in it and added milk.

As I finally finished my choco pops I looked at the clock. "damn, it's so early…yes! If Younchi is still sleeping I can pay him back!" what would be a good revenge tactic? Throwing bucket with ice water over his head? Nah, to plain… letting a goose loose in his room? Nah, too much trouble…We will see when we get there and hopefully he isn't awake.

I walked out and set my direction towards the woods. As I remember Younchi said I had been here before.

God! CAN THEY LIVE ANY FURTHER! I hate walking! You should see my face right now. It looks like I ate a lemon. My mom used to call me lemon face when I looked sour. Yes people, she thinks it's funny.

I wonder how mom is doing? Would Shiki still be there? That guy seriously freaked me out once. I was like dressing and stuff and he walked in… yes, he literally walked in when I was standing in a towel.

Stupid pervert step-dad.

I miss mom, but I don't think she would even try to visit me. This place reminds her to much of Tsubasa and I really don't blame her. It's better if she doesn't come… if she would see shadow she would freak out.

Really freak out.

I looked up and saw a very nice mansion type of house. It looked pretty big and I guess it was Younchi's. I walked up the porch and took a deep breath…I knocked a few times and took a step back.

When the door opened I cursed.. loudly. "AH DAMN IT!" Younchi was leaning against the doorframe with a very sleepy and confused look. He rubbed his eyes cutely like a baby.

Oh my god! So cute! "what time is it?" he mumbled as he put his head against the door frame yawning slightly. I forgot my voice because my eyes were glued to his bare chest showing his dreamy abs. how would natsume look without shirt?

Oh shit.

I put a smile on my face and put away my pervert thoughts, that's what you get from living with a pervert stepdad.

"time to wake up sunshine!" I pushed him aside and welcomed myself in. hey, if he wasn't going to do it. I have to take the steps on my own.

"by the way Mikan, why did you curse back then" now he realizes it, the morning isn't doing him any good I see.

"because I wanted to wake you up in a horrible but revengeful way. Good morning by the way!" I smiled at him casually as he looked confused, maybe because my comment didn't sound very cheerful.

"whatever" he mumbled and sleepwalked back to his room. I rolled my eyes, yes I practiced it. I looked around and saw that I got nothing better to do than follow him.

I walked into his room and the first thing I saw was Younchi snoring cutely in his bed and the second thing I saw was no floor. What the hell? Where is the floor! His room can be compared to a pig stall.

In his room were things I don't want to see. Like his boxers, condoms and other things he uses. Ewwwww… I should make sure I don't touch anything or I will get Younchi cooties… GROSS!

Anyways, there were also a lot of empty cans and pizza boxes… his clothes were everywhere and I mean literally everywhere.

I sighed and took off my hoodie. I don't want to be in room that looks even worse than a garbage disposal.

"this is going to be a long morning" I tiptoed to the kitchen in hope that I wouldn't wake someone up and looked the whole kitchen through before I found a garbage bag. I walked back to Younchi's room and did first things first: throw every garbage I find away.

After what felt like a hour. His floor was almost visible. I closed my eyes and picked his boxers with a pencil and threw them in a drawer. I didn't know if they were clean. OH MY GOD! I DON'T WANNA KNOW! Go away bad thought!

I shoved the things I don't wanted to touch under his bad (hint to the condoms) and grabbed his clothes and shoved them in his closet.

FINALLY! I can see a floor! I have never been more happy in my life then I was now. I yawned a little bit… that's what you get for waking up early people.

I noticed Younchi still slumped away in his bed. I walked out and into the living room. I noticed the very comfy sofa and hesitated a little.

Should I close my eyes a little? It won't hurt right? I walked to the sofa, threw my shoes to the side and lay down. Gosh, this is so comfy… and before I knew it I was in chocolate world.

"nee-chan…how much do you love Tsubasa-nii?" I found myself asking as I looked up to a very beautiful blonde girl. She was simply perfect. She had beautiful blond waves that reached her hips. Blue eyes which held so much love and kindness… a hourglass figure which many loved and hated.

She was my nee-chan and Tsubasa's girlfriend.

Shelly smiled and at the same time a blush appeared on her cheeks. "more than you will imagine" I blinked. "a lot?" she nodded. "yes Mikan sweetie, a lot"

I felt a grin come up. "nee-chan, then what will you do if Tsubasa-nii went away?" she looked surprised at me… but her eyes softened and she crouched down.

"I would wait for him, forever"

I stirred a little as I felt people talking around me… WAIT? People talking? I quickly opened my eyes and sat up. I noticed a lot of guys in the living room.

Wait.. guys? I noticed one of them looking at me and suddenly the whole group looked at me. Where is Younchi at times of need! Oh wait, little duckies are here.

"I see your awake" said the one I named Huey. He had the same grin on his face and his blond hair was still messy. But I got to admit he was kind of cute. The way he wore the cap and his hair sticking out.

"no seriously?" I gave a awesome sarcastic reply back. Yes, I am still sleeping. The guy still grinned as I shifted a bit on my feet. Is that grin glued to his face?

He looked kind of confused since I was staring at his face. The other one with red hair (which looked very good on him ) nudged him.

"I thinks she has a crush on you" his grin came back, what a surprise. I looked at the table and my eyes became as big a omelet.

"did you make breakfast" my grinny guy (yes, I am going to call him like that) nodded. I walked over to the table and took a seat.

"then I am seriously crushing on you" his grin became even wider than before. Wow, he has very flexible muscles. "sweet".

The others looked at me. I recognized one of them, the piercing guy and he gave a simple nod to me which I returned. But I wonder which way do you nod up or down?

I felt someone tapping on my left arm and I snapped back to earth. "I asked what your name is" he smiled at me which I returned obviously. He looked very nice and calm. I already liked him. Heck, I liked all of them and their abs, but that's a secret.

"oh sorry, I was spacing away. I am Mikan" his smile became brighter. Wow, I think I need sunglasses.

"oh so you're the famous Mikan Sakura" I felt myself blush. Yes people I can blush too! No need to be surprised.

"and you are?" he reached out for the pancakes and put a few on my plates. "Kaname" sigh, such a gentlemen. Why can't all men be like him?

I took a bite from the pancakes and drifted away in happy-world. They were so delicious! You could taste the chocolate chips that were mixed in it.

"Hey you didn't ask my name!" said the grinny guy offended. I think he looked offended, I don't know for sure. Can you be offended while grinning?

I arched my eyebrow. I find that very funny you know, it looks like a worm!

"I thought I said I preferred Huey" my voice was supposed to sound stern, but I don't think it was since there all laughing.

"Huey? Seriously? Isn't that the nephew of Donald duck?" everyone became silent and looked at this very and I mean very cute kid.

He would be around the 13 if I guess it right. His brown hair was kind of spikey yet it looked good on him.

"and how do you know that?" said my lovely Duey as he arched his pierced eyebrow. Ouch, wouldn't that hurt?

"…because I watch Disney channel" he shrugged his shoulders like it was not big of a deal, I saw that the others wanted to laugh at him so I decided to help him.

"I love you… any girl would love a guy who watches Disney channel" I acted as I looked like a lovesick puppy. Louie actually choked in his orange juice. The cute kid looked at me and I saw a thankful look in his eyes.

He is so cute!

All of them looked at me like I told them a little secret. "seriously? So if I watch Disney channel you would date me?" I was going to answer that but someone interrupted me.

"what the hell are you guys doing here?" asked a very annoyed Younchi as he messed his bed hair a little and he stood in front. of me with shirt...AGAIN. If I wasn't in a chair right now my legs would have turned into jelly-o

"as you can see were having breakfast with your lovely lady" said grinny guy as he tried to sound gentlemen-ish. But he didn't.

"I fell asleep on you couch after I cleaned up your mess of a room" he looked embarrassed as the guys let out sniggers.

"you have your own personal maid Younchi" hey, that didn't sound bad, what if he pays me?

"you know, I can take up that offer…if I actually got paid for hiding your condoms" and that's when it became silent. Younchi coughed to get rid of the tension but the cute little kid took a different approach.

Would you be my personal maid if I paid you?" I looked at his adorable face and pinched his cheek. "sure!" if Younchi was holding a glass it would have ended on the floor.

"what the hell Mikan!" he shouted annoyed as I stood up and walked to the kitchen. "seriously, what's so bad about it?" he groaned frustrated as the guys around the table sniggered. The cute kid looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. He knew as little as me.

"anyways, I wanna do something… you guys are boring" I rubbed my arms. Was it me or is it suddenly very cold? Before I could think of it Younchi threw my hoodie towards me.

Did he carry it? I didn't saw it...did he went to his room to get it? I looked at the table and saw some of them glaring at Younchi while others sat quietly avoiding Younchi's look.

"thanks" I said quickly as I pulled it over my head. Yes! A little bit of warmth. "Mikan, you wanna go to the mall with me?" I seriously love the kid. Even though he would be the same height as me. Mind you, I am not tall.

"sure!" I glared at the other boys because they were laughing at him and stupid Younchi too. I mean, what's wrong with a guy wanting to go to the mall?

"none of you are invited" I said sharply as I smiled at the kid. "shall we go?" he stuck out his tongue to the other which I did the same and we walked out.

"I could hear Huey's whining. "why can't we go to the mall with her?"

I looked at the kid and smiled. "hey, this is gonna sound really awkward. But you didn't tell me your name" he slapped his forehead.

"sorry! I kind of forgot… my name is Matthew… but please call me matt or something else.. anything but Matthew" I nodded, okay.. that was pretty clear. You know what would be funny? I f I started my next sentence with 'so Matthew…'. If I wanted to piss him off I would have to call him Matthew. For the time being I am going to call him Matty.

"what's the names of the other dimwits?" he chuckled slightly. "well the one you called huey is koko… the one with the piercing eyebrow is mochu and the one with red hair is ryuu. You will meet the others some time". I tried to smile, but I hoped I would never meet them.

"so Matty, how are we going to go to the mall?" because I knew nothing was in reach. He looked at me with a grin. "on my motorbike". I nodded and then my eyes grew very big.

"say what?" he stopped in front of a awesome motor. I think it's a model from DERBI. "Are you even allowed to drive?" he shook his head, obviously. How can a 13 year old drive?

"the guys learned me" he said like he knew what was going on in my head. I nodded and put on the helmet he handed me. I sat behind him and put my arms around his middle. He started the motor and sped away.

"that was freaking AWSOME!" I excitedly. I jumped from his motor and handed him the helmet. "your were like going WOOOOSSSHH!" I made the wind movement with my hand as I zoomed it in front of his face. It took us near a hour to come here, but I enjoyed every second.

He grinned and pulled me with him. "let's go" we walked in the mall and all I could do was gawk and gawk even more. It was freaking huge! There were around 4 stories… I looked around and smiled, it kind of felt like Miami.

"wanna check out some stores?" I nodded and pulled Matty to the nearest store. 'men at work'. I still don't understand that name because they also have women clothing.

I grabbed a T-shirt with different prints. It was actually very nice and handed it to Matty. "try it on" I shoved him in the dressing room and looked for some clothes. These weren't really my style. But they did suit Matty very well.

He came out and I awed. "it suits you very well" the shirt completely hugged his body showing off his abs. those guys have a serious secret for those abs. I mean WOW!

"what do you think?" he asked embarrassed as I smiled. " I love it! And you're taking it!" he gave a grin as I shoved him back in the dressing room with other clothes. I asked for the printed shirt which he gave and quickly paid for it.

I was thinking in the morning… should I leave my credit cars my mom gave me home? Then I thought what if Younchi isn't home and I get kidnapped but the kidnappers get enough of my jibber jabber and leave me in the middle of nowhere.

Who is going to feed me? That's when I decided to take my credit card.

Matty came out of the dressing room and shook his head. "They were off size" I nodded, I did that on purpose. Or else I wouldn't be able to pay for the shirt without distracting him.

He looked confused at me as I handed him the bag. "it looked really good on you" he looked totally embarrassed as he took the bag.

"you really shouldn't have, I brought money!" I smiled at him. "but I wanted to".

We walked around aimlessly as we went into different kind of shops. We didn't find anything but did try some weird stuff like sunglasses in shapes of hearts and other stuff.

I saw the brother in Matt I never had.

I nudged Matty as I pointed to a bookstore. "I wanna go in" he smiled and pulled me along. We walked into the store hand-in-hand. I think either people in this mall thought we were related (we have both brown hair and brown eyes) or we were a childish couple. I mean we kind of look like a childish couple, both short, both wearing hoodies which were a size to big.

Matty never let go of my hand and it felt nice, having someone to hold your hand as if he was protecting you.

"in what kind of books are you interested?" he looked around and then at me. Good point, we have to start somewhere in this huge book store.

"supernatural" he stiffened a little but smiled. "Okay, let's head to the supernatural section" I nodded as he led the way.

When we arrived he looked at me. "what kind of supernatural though?" I looked around and read a few titles. "something with werewolves and vampires I even like fallen angels" I looked at him as he looked around uneasily.

"so Matty, do you believe in the supernatural" he looked surprised, like I caught him off guard. "w-w-what? Oh uhm… no" he regained his posture and grinned but I couldn't help but to wonder why he acted so weird. I mean he could laugh at me in the face saying 'what the hell, you're crazy'.

But he didn't, he just gave me a grin. "I don't know if I should believe in them" he looked curiously at me as he sat down on the mini chair thing.

"you want to believe in monsters?" he looked kind of… I don't know how to explain it.. ashamed?

"monsters? I beg the differ. I don't see them as monsters even though one is bloodsucker while the other can claw my eyes out" Matthew looked at me with a very big smile.

"your different.. I like you" I stuck my tongue out. "took you long to figure out".

"but why don't you see them as monsters?" I shrugged my shoulders as I took out a book and studied it's cover.

"I dunno, maybe because they are or were human once?" I looked at Matty curiously as he looked kind of… relieved? He acts like he is a monster *snort*…. A monster with great abs. okay shut it mikan.

"why the sudden interest… don' tell me your hiding a vampire or werewolf in your basement" I joked as Matty visibly paled. I mean seriously. What's wrong with this kid?

"hey, Matty. You're okay?" he quickly nodded and put on a smile. "no, I used to be afraid of werewolves and vampires" I sat down on the floor next to him and looked up.

"what changed it?" he smiled but somehow it didn't reach his eyes. "nothing much, just my point of view".

As we got out and I didn't found anything we went to grab a burger. We walked to MacDonald's and ordered both a large Big Mac menu. Matty insisted on paying, that little pushy kid.

"you sure you can finish that on your own?" I rolled my eyes but with a smile tucked on my lips and we walked to a empty table.

"I am a big girl. I think I will finish it" I knew I would, believe me. I can eat a whole horse. Not literally, but I mean meat the size of a horse.

"So your liking your new school?" I nodded, however I did miss Shelly, Christina and some other friends… maybe I should visit them sometime.

"it's okay, but there sure weird people there" he stopped eating and looked at me with curiosity.

"weird people? Like who?" I shrugged and looked around. "uhm like those Hyuuga kids" Matty was drinking his Soda as he suddenly chocked and ended up in a coughing fit.

"what the hell Matty! You're okay?" he nodded and breathed heavily slightly. As he regained his posture I looked at him.

"tell me more about the Hyuuga's" he looked surprised and I think he thought I was joking but when he saw the look on my face he nodded.

"okay, well you have Natsume Hyuuga and Shadow Hyuuga there both 18 and then you have their little sisters hotaru who is 17 and aoi who is 14" he rolled his eyes as he said sisters. Weren't they their real sisters?

"and their parents?" he finished his soda and looked at me. "I think you know their mother… Serena-sensei… their father is actually the director" I gaped at him. No way! Serena –sensei is absolutely beautiful! The director I handsome I heard from 'talking magazine', she said something about blonde and sexy.

"are they adopted?" he looked very surprised as he looked at me. Come one people! That wasn't difficult to guess. "how'd you know?"

"well, I don't know, maybe because both the parents are blonde while the kids aren't" don't you love my sarcasm? "good point".

"so Matthew… enough about other people.. tell me something about you" he glared at me because I said matthew. I winked at him in response. I told you I would say it.

"well I am 14 years… got a annoying little sister who just turned 10. Parents work a lot so I don't see them often. I usually hang out at Younchi's. I think most of us do" I nodded and smiled. I wanted to meet his little sister, if he was cute, then she must even be cuter.

"what about you?" I looked startled at him as I quickly avoided his eyes. "my mom remarried… I didn't want to burden her so I moved back with my dad" he nodded but somehow didn't look convinced. Please don't ask a question, please don't ask a question.

"you suddenly moved in with your dad because you didn't want to burden your mom?" and there is the question… he arched his eyebrow as I felt annoyance build up in me… why does everyone have to do it better than me!

"yup that's me, I do things randomly. You will get used to it" I patted his arm as he rolled his eyes. We both laughed and joked around.

Suddenly something in the corners of my eyes caught my attention. Shadow was sitting with a girl and both their faces were glued to eyes other till he opened his eyes and saw me looking at them and quickly pushed her away.

This is my time to say: what the hell?

tada! chapter 5, review please and tell me what you think?

what team are you: team natsume or team younchi?
