Chapter 5
Secret Lovers?
Inside the hospital room, Hotaru decided to give the brunette some fruits (which she took out from her all-purpose backpack). Mikan suspiciously eyed the array of fruits in the raven-haired girl's hands. "Hmph. I don't wanna eat it. They might be poisonous. And...I don't even know you," the auburn-haired girl said as she shove away the fruits that Hotaru had given her.
"Just eat it. Trust me!" the amethyst-eyed girl assured, but frowning.
'A part of me doubts this raven-haired girl with purple eyes. But the other half of me says I can trust this person. Now...which side to buy?' Mikan thought as she locked stares with the stoic girl in front of her.
The nullifier raised her eyebrow. "Okay then, eat it first" Mikan suggested. "If nothing happened to you then it's safe...and if not..." Mikan trailed off while she smirked at the inventor. "I get it," Hotaru snapped and reached for an apple.
"You know, I don't think you got an amnesia. I think you just got a brain," Hotaru muttered before she took one bite of the tempting red apple.
As soon as she swallowed what she had eaten, the ice queen started to choke. "Uh...Mi...kan...he...help" the great Hotaru-sama said in vain as she held her throat. Crossing her arms, Mikan remarked, "I thought it wasn't poisonous. So you were planning to kill me after all,"
But when Hotaru still didn't stop choking and was starting to breathe heavily, the auburn-haired girl became worried. "Hey...was it really...poisoned?" Mikan asked. Still choking, the blackmail queen managed to say, "G..Get my...i-inhaler...it's...in..my backpack..!" and Hotaru started. 'She's got an asthma attack!' Mikan screamed in her thoughts. 'She's asthmatic?!'
"Oh my gosh! Raven-haired girl, hold on," the tangerine-named girl started to invade Hotaru's backpack. She pulled out things like what looks like a big gun which the word 'BAKA' embossed on its handle, a bottle of crab brains, then some pictures of Ruka...what?!
"My, my, this girl sure has a taste in boys," Mikan muttered as she saw the blond boy's picture. Hotaru quickly snatched it from Mikan's hand and said, "Quit...playing around! Give...me my..inhaler!"
"Okay, no need to shout. Ugh! You're hurting my ears," Mikan said as she scanned the backpack.
'Good for you. Talk about Karma' Hotaru thought. Then the brunette triumphantly found the inhaler and quickly gave it to the raven-haired girl. The inventor was able to breathe normally again, thanks to the inhaler...and Mikan.
"Are you alright?" Mikan inquired as she watched the raven-haired stranger struggle with her breath. "You're taking care of me when you're asthmatic?"
"Don't--you tell anyone about this. You saw my baka gun, right?" Hotaru warned as she glared at the brown-eyed girl who was laughing endlessly. 'Okay. This is totally freaking me out, not that I would ever admit! What happened to the dense Mikan? Did it fade away along with her memory?' she thought and started a glaring contest with the girl with warm amber eyes.
The glaring contest was interrupted when the door flung open and in came a familiar boy with black, spiky hair along with fierce crimson orbs who wears an intimidating blood red earring on his left ear. "Imai!" he shouted. The two girls' attention was on him now. "I know how Mikan will get her memories back," he coldly informed and put his hands into his pocket, regaining his good composture.
"Good," the inventor's voice rivaled the kuro neko's cold voice. But a certain auburn-haired girl butted into the conversation saying, "Do oranges have memories?" Sweatdrop. Oh yeah, Mikan, in japanese can mean oranges or tangerine.
"Mikan, you just threw off your brain! Maybe you can remember us now!" the blackmail queen sarcastically said. Mikan pointed to herself. "Wait, are you saying my name is Mikan?" she asked and laughed like it's the funniest thing in the whole world. She quieted down when the raven-haired people she was with were exchanging weird looks to each other.
"Are you kidding? It's such a childish name!" Mikan whined. "Great...she finally admitted it..." Natsume muttered. Chuckling a little, Hotaru asked, "Ah, Mikan. Do you want more fruits? There's more in the cafeteria," And I'm hungry...
she mentally added.
"Fine, do whatever you want," Mikan gave permission. The amethyst-eyed inventor looked sharply at the raven-haired boy and entrusting her bestfriend to him. Then Hotaru went out the room.
DOKI! DOKI! DOKI!
The raven-haired boy and the brunette were left in the cold room. 'Oh my god, why does my stupid heart beat so fast all of a sudden?!' Mikan thought, shifting uncomfortably on her hospital bed. She wrapped herself with the blanket and faced the opposite direction. 'Why am I nervous for some reason I don't know? It's like I'm going to discover something...shocking'
The kuro neko just stood still for her didn't know what to do, what to say nor how to act in front of the New Mikan. 'I never had a chance to tell her I love her...and now her memories are gone! I hope she would never change and will always remain as MY Mikan' he thought. And notice the emphasis on the 'my' word.
Then suddenly, a naughty idea struck Natsume's perverted and crooked mind. He smirked to himself.
"Mikan..." he finally broke the awkward silence. The brunette's eyes widened. It's like deja vu...she thought. She began to think when and where this scene had happened before. But in return, she got an awful headache. Oh, poor thing.
But at least she managed to say, "What?" and she replied with a cold voice far from her cheerful and whiny voice before, that Natsume has fallen for. Anyways, he decided to continue what he had on his mind.
"Before you got amnesia..." the flamecaster began which took Mikan's interest right off the hook. She immediately sat up. "What do you know about my past?" she asked earnestly. A feeling of triumph washed over Natsume as his lips slightly twitched.
"Not much. But you know, you're one crazy girl who followed her bestfriend into a school of Alices. You were so loud, noisy and annoying. Me, being the fantastic guy I am, disliked you. So we were once enemies," the kuro neko told her. Ha! I knew it! Mikan thought as she nodded to the guy she was talking to, the sign of understanding what he was babbling about. But what did he mean by saying, 'we were once enemies'? So we're not enemies anymore?
"But everything changed when you started following me around...everywhere!" he stated more. The tangerine-named girl blushed at this. Then he continued, "Whenever I'm under my Sakura tree, reading my manga peacefully, you would always find a way to pop up everywhere I go," he dramatically sighed, as he narrated his made-up love story of him and Mikan.
She crunched her forehead in disappointment. She didn't like her past, AT ALL. I mean, she was a crazy fangirl before? She silently became grateful that she forgot her memories. Realy, not that she does have. "Oh, and one thing" he said, she jumped at the raven-haired boy's now-husky voice. He whispered to her ear, "You always showed your panties to me to catch my attention...and I used to call you...Polkadots..."
Her ears reddened, and...
SLAP!
"Pervert." she stated and laid down once again on the bed, wrapping herself with the blanket though she hated the scent it gave off--the usual hospital scent--which suddenly made her feel nauseous. He held the spot where she just hit him, and it stung a lot. Wow, she's hits strong...he thought. Sighing, he concluded his story softly...
"Until one autumn day under the Sakura tree, you confessed to me. And I felt the same way too. However, we decided to keep our relationship hidden for the time being.
Simply put, we were secret lovers..."
The sight of Mikan's jaw dropping to the ground is hilarious. Hotaru would really have fun if she took pictures of this scene.
CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!
Wait, what was that?
Oh, maybe Hotaru really DID have fun watching the whole thing.
"WHAT??!!" He smirked of the brunette's reaction. "Since when?"
Still not wiping that mischievous smirk playing on his lips, he responded, "Since before...until now."

NatsuMikan383: Okay okay, so how was it? I really had fun writing this chap. I mean, HOTARU? ASTHMATIC??? Lol...
I can't believe I had that idea on my mind. And ooohh...What's Natsume up to this time??? Will she believe the kuro neko's crazy story? Even though it is a half-lie, and also the fact that Mikan really never did follow him around 'coz she's so dense to stalk him like he makes it look like. And one thing, if there will be a confession, Natsume will be doing it right? He's twisting facts so he can get away with everything! Oh, God. What will happen now?

I can't believe I had that idea on my mind. And ooohh...Natsume's making his move! What will Mikan say? The initial reaction shows she was shocked. But will she believe the kuro neko's crazy story?
