Chapter 3

Mikan's POV

I opened my eyes and found myself hugging my pillow. Did I fall asleep? I checked the clock that was on my desk and it said 4:00 in the afternoon. I looked at my surroundings. Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm in Natsume's room. I groaned and got up, remembering the events a while ago.

I slowly took a peek at the other room from my door-frame-which-had-no-door! Natsume was not there anymore. Where could that pervert be? I went out to the main room and headed for the kitchen. I decided to fix myself a snack. I opened the fridge - empty.

I frowned. How does that jerk stay so fit and healthy and HO-. Nope I was NOT going to say that word that you use to describe something that makes you withdraw your hand from a boiling kettle. I was going to say HO-NEST. Pfft. Yeah right.

I'll just have to go to town then.

Normal POV

Mikan sighed. She didn't want to go to Central Town alone so she decided to go to Ruka's room and hang out with Hotaru there. She didn't know where Ruka's room was but she concluded that he and Natsume were best friends, so his room would be somewhere near him or at least on the same floor.

*Knock-knock

Mikan knocked Natsume's neighbor. The door opened revealing a small cute boy, much younger than her maybe about 5 years old, with gray hair and really scary crimson orbs. He looked like he wasn't feeling well and had just got out of bed. His nose was red and his eyes were a little soggy, but he still looked cute. Mikan wanted to shrink on the doorstep and just disappear.

"Umm, I-I-I'm S-sorry. I thought this was Ruka-pyons room." She stuttered and bowed her head as a sign of apology.

The boy didn't stop looking at her with a bewildered expression.

"So, if you wouldn't want to help me, cutie, I must be on my way. Hehe" Mikan forced a smile and slowly turned around and was about to leave when a warm hand caught her wrist. She froze.

"Don't call me cutie, ugly." The little boy said in a dead tone.

Mikan looked at the boy as he was about to fall flat on his face. She caught him just in time. Her hand made its way to his forehead. He's burning. Mikan began to panic. She carried the little boy back to his room and placed him gently on the bed. She looked for a first aid kit and found it in the bathroom. She looked all around for a wet damp cloth to place it on the little boy's forehead.

Mikan's POV

Poor thing. Why is he all alone? And he's so young! His face looked really tired and red from the hotness. I've decided to stay here for a little while. Until he can manage himself properly. Maybe his fridge has something. I went to the little kitchen that was in his room and opened the huge door to the fridge. Finally! Food! My eyes immediately looked for ingredients to put in soup. I found vegetables and some chicken broth. I started to work my magic. Stirring and toasting some bread.

Hmmm...The place started to smell like chicken soup.

Normal POV

Mikan ate in the kitchen for a while and went to the bedroom with a hot bowl of soup.

The boy was already awake. He was just staring at the ceiling.

"Uhmm, I made you soup." Mikan said as she laid the bowl on the table.

The boy just looked at her with bewilderment. He looked at the soup, then back to her. He sat up and took a sip, closed his eyes as if savoring the taste. Mikan smiled. She could tell that he liked it.

"Thanks...UGLY. " The little boy smirked and quickly drank the soup until nothing was left.

Mikan sweatdropped and frowned. Wasn't it hot?

"My name's MI-KAN, not UGLY. What's yours, CUTIE?" Mikan teased as she got the empty bowl ang placed it in the sink.

"Youichi." He said, his face was blank.

"Well, Youichi...I need to go, it's getting late. Can you handle yourself? Do you want me to say?" Mikan said now fully aware of the time. She spent the whole afternoon here and Hotaru would notice her disappearance anytime soon. She didn't want to leave. She was so sorry for him. He was all alone and sick.

"Hn. My brother would visit me later. He's just running some errands." Youichi was hopeful. He knows his big brother would come anytime soon. He didn't know he was sick since he had not visited him that morning.

*Click

"Youichi, I heard from your teachers that you were sick and I - What are you doing here, Polka?!"

Youichi's POV

I wanted to see my brother. I miss him. I can't believe this ugly girl is taking care of me now. But I like her. She seems sweet and nice. She could be my big sister! Haha.

My door clicked and in went my onii-san.

"Youichi, I heard from your teachers that you were sick and I - What are you doing here, Polka?!"

I laughed a little. You should see his reaction. His finger was pointing accusingly at my new onee-san.

"Wha-what are YOU doing here, Hyuuga?" my onee-san said putting her hands on her hips. You could see the steam coming out from her head. What could my brother do to make her so mad?

"Onii-san!" I hugged my big brother and he hugged me back. I could feel onee-san's eyes on us, wide and very much open.

"H-h-h-he's your brother?!" Onee-san's scream could be heard all over the school, i swear. Me and onii-san cover our ears while she was screaming her lungs out.

"You mean you would not care for me if you knew I was Natsume-niisan's little brother?" I said tears were beginning to form in eyes.

"No! It's not that, Youichi. I was surprised that's all." She came to me and hugged me and I felt very happy having a new sister.

Normal POV

"Onee-san" Youichi whispered. Mikan hugger him tighter, touched at what she just called her.

Natsume couldn't believe his eyes. Youichi doesn't let anyone care for him except for me and our parents. Especially girls, ugly girls.

Natsume pulled out Youichi's medications from the plastic bag and let him drink it.

"I'll see you later in the room, Polka-dots." Natsume said after he explained to Youichi how he and Mikan met and how he had to deal with "ugly" for the rest of the school year. Mikan sweatdropped at that. They are totally related.

She slowly closed the door to Youichi's room and headed to Natsume's.

BAKA BAKA BAKA

"Where have you been?" Hotaru's voice said. You can't actually hear it, but you can feel the anger in her voice.

"Ouch, Hotaru. I didn't know where the room was so I went looking for you but instead I found Youichi's room and then this really weird thing happened. Natsume went in-"

"Of course Hyuuga went in. Youichi's his brother." Hotaru wanted to hit Mikan with the Baka gun again. Why hasn't she realized this years before. Of course, she's Mikan.

"Why didn't you tell me he had a brother?" Mikan pouted as they headed to Natsume's room.

"I did, idiot. Way back then. By the way, our room is just below yours. It's late so I'll meet you there tomorrow, ok?" Hotaru said and headed down.

Mikan entered her room and sat in the living room, she wanted to watch something that would cool her hot head. What a day.

Natsume then entered an hour later after making sure that Youichi was tucked in. He could hear the ending credits of some film and headed toward the living room. He found Mikan sprawled on the floor, a pillow under her head, sleeping. He smirked and thought of leaving her there. But. Yes, but. he didn't want her spoiling the rug underneath her with saliva. Ha!

She lifted her bridal style and placed her gently on her bed. He slowly took out her glasses and placed them on her bedside table.

He stared for a while at the sleeping figure and smirked a little. He stood up and went out the door. He looked back at Mikan and muttered a very, very, very soft...

"Thank you."

...oOoOoOoOo...

But I promise the next one would be good.

I needed to introduce Youichi.
