Chapter 3 Why missing school is never a good thing

Mikan Tanaka had not been having the best of days. First day she had made an idiot of herself, by breaking down in front of everybody. She didn't even get to her 2nd day, because she managed to fall down the stairs running from the bathroom, thus spraining her leg. So now she felt like a bigger idiot, a flamingo with one leg, hoping that everyone had forgotten the previous day.

Her younger sister however, was in love with her whole class, joining three different clubs, texting until the late hours, with all her friends.

She also had to talk to her own friends, they had been "scared for their lives" yesterday as her older sister so eloquently put it, when they had visited asking for her. I have to go explain about my leg, she sighed, hopefully there be the only ones to ask everybody else will just gawk.

"Good morning!" A chorus of girls greeted her as soon as she walked through the double doors. She was stuck drowning in a sea of yellow , where total strangers asked about her love life, "Did they turn you down?", her emotional stability, "Did you throw yourself out a window, because you heart was unable to bear the pain?", and most of all, "Can we help you carry anything?"

She could hardly breathe much less move, and the cast was not making it any easier. "Actually I was just looking for my friends, Momo, Yui, and Ria. Have you seen them?"

The flock of yellow peacocks didn't bother to answer her latest question, it had now switched to her home life, "Does your older sister really keep you in the basement where your only allowed to eat moldy cheese while she feasts on the finest steak and chicken and pheasant dishes?"

These people are insane, Mikan decided. There was only thing left to do.

She ducked her head to the ground, covering it with arms.

"What's wrong?" They asked again, "Did we say something wrong? Mikan-kun please answers us!"

They poked her, "Hello?"

My ostrich technique is not working, she thought desperately standing back up. The questions started with her.

"Are you okay Mikan-kun?" someone asked "Here I got you a glass of water!" another crooned

"Ahh! Someone help!" She finally yelled over their voices, waving her hands. She was quite suddenly lifted up over the girl's heads, thrown over a shoulder and spirited away.

Okay not what I was expecting, but it will do, Minka pondered to herself, At least I won't die of death by yellow. The group was screaming Kya! At the top of their lungs, it could only be said to equal that of a banshees.

She realized she was in front her first class, as her savior gently set her down. She craned her neck to look at him, "Ah thank you." She smiled, He was ginormus! No wonder he could run that fast, even with her cast on.

He handed her a bouquet of pink roses and white lilies, before walking away.

"Kya! Mikan-kun you're so lucky!"

Oh great. She turned it was Momo, "Hey Momo, Rai , Yui." Noticing that they were standing behind the half opened door.

'Let me see your flowers!" Rai smiled grabbing the bouquet, "Aww so pretty. Look there's even a card."
"Thank you for returning my bunny." Yui read, "From HUNNY! KYA!"

"Girls!" Momo gestured her head inside the classroom.

"Huh?" They asked, "Oh right!" They ducked back in leaving Mikan standing in the door way, before they reappeared with a box that had air holes.

"Oh my god." Mikan whispered taking it into her arms. It moved. "Uh what is it?"

"Open it up." Yui smiled, "We figured you must be pretty down in the dumps since yesterday-"
"So we got you this-" Rai continued

"Puppy! WE named him Cho, it mean's butterfly!" Momo finished, throwing up her arms, "Don't you love it."

They really go all out at this school, Mikan thought to herself as she now held the tiny puppy in her hands, "AWWWW! I love it. I'll just have to keep in my-"

She had left her bag. In a sea of yellow peacocks. She was doomed.

"I have to go get my bag." She muttered shaking her hand.

"You mean this?"

She turned, a blonde was smiling his head cocked to the side as he held her brief case.

"Tamaki!" The three girls whispered behind her, ducking back into the classroom as they peeked out.

"Ah yes." Mikan laughed, "Thank you so much. I just left it."
"Who gave you the puppy?" He asked looking at the tiny dog tucked under arm.

"Uh my friends-"She started

"AHHH! FLOWERS ARE NOT GOOD ENOGUH! I HAVE BEEN OUT DONE ALREADY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" He yelled running in circles, "I WILL NOT BE OUT DONE! I MUST COME UP WITH SOMETHING TWICE AS GOOD! DO NOT WORRY PRINCESS, I WILL REPAY MY EVIL DEED!"

"But-But!" Mikan started reaching after him, but he had already sprinted away down the halls. She felt her eye began to twitch again. The puppy whined.

'What am I going to do Cho?" She asked holding it in front of her. The puppy only smiled and wagged its tail .

"Arf!" It said

"Right." Mikan sighed, "Where to put you. "

…….

"Mikan-kun? Why are you carrying around that extra bag?" Momo asked as she came back in, "And what did Tamaki say?"
You should know, you probably heard the whole thing. Mikan laughed to herself, "Oh he was screaming about how flowers were not good enough."

The puppy had to go back in its box, but it seemed content for the moment, which she was grateful.

"Yes what did Tamaki say." Rai and Yui asked, as the whole room grew silent.

"Oh he just said he could do better than flowers." She answered taking a seat, but quicky stood up as there were another two bouquets on her chair.

'Those are from the Hitachiin brothers." Yui explained, "They dropped them off this morning."

"So lucky." Rai sighed again , "They even wrote a card each apologizing."

Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Mikan repeated over and over to herself , "How nice of them."

Great where to put them, she wondered. She lifted Cho out for minute , placing the bouquets in that now filled her entire bag. Now she had no where to the puppy except for inside her shirt, or in the crate.

"Mikan! Did you bring a pet to school?"

Mikan turned around, her heart beating quickly, "Uh, it was a gift sensei."

"Maybe you can explain your gift to the headmaster." The teacher retorted, "Please report to his office."

Mikan felt her heart dropped five levels.

"You should also take your bags."

"Hye!" Mikan answered grabbing the bouquets and slinging it on her shoulder, as she grabbed her brief case, the puppy in her hand.

"We'll carry your things." Momo volunteered, "You're injured after all."
"Hye!' Rai and Yui agreed, snatching the note and shutting the class room door behind them.

"Omg, Mikan." Yui gushed, "Sensei Oro is so scary. It's said he hates dogs. Oh let me take you bouquets."

"I thinks it's because you guys brought a live animal into school. That's not usually accepted." Mikan answered

"I'll carry your bag." Rai told her, grabbing the brief case, "We're out of class, how nice."

"Thanks for coming with me." Mikan told them, "This whole day has just been overwhelming."
Momo nodded, "It's okay. This is why you should attend host club more often."

/Yui inner mind theater /

"She's ours!" The twins yelled, grabbing onto Mikan's legs.

"No she's mine!' Tamaki yelled grabbing an arm.

"Mine!" Hunny yelled grabbing her other arm.

They pulled until she burst into a million pieces of confetti.

/end/

"NO!" Yui yelled, "I don't want you to burst into a million pieces of confetti."

"Right, sweetie." Rai patter her friends shoulder, "You know the headmaster's son is Tamaki."

Momo sighed again, "You are so lucky."

"Lucky?" Mikan asked, "How am I lucky? I'm in trouble! For having a live animal in school! "

"We'll support you." They cried together, as Mikan could only shake her head, this was not her day.

….

"The headmaster will see you know." The secretary announced. Mikan had almost begun to shake as she waited. The other three had sat and chatted as if they were at a Sunday brunch eating tea and crumpets, texting away on their phones. She glanced to see what they we're talking about.

"Mikan is about to be horribly punished possible expelled by the headmaster, all due the fact that her caring friends brought her a puppy to cheer her up, after the host club mangaged to make her break down, and throw herself down a flight of stairs due to her emotional distress." She read aloud as Yui continued to type away "That's not even-"

"The headmaster is waiting." The secetary reminded her, Mikan took one last glance at her friends, before she pushed open the oak door, Cho in hand.

As she entered his ornate office, she saw that he was an older man, sitting behind a large marble desk, his face hidden in the shadows, his hand steepled.

"So this is what has been causing so much commotion?" The head master commented. Mikan simply stood their, feeling again like an idiot,. Not sure if she should sit or stand as the heavy wood door closed behind her.

"May I see?" He asked her, as she took a few steps forward, arms out stretched offering Cho. THe headmaster gently took the puppy, scratching it behind it's ears.

"How cute." He commented

Mikan blinked, "His names Cho."
"Aww so cute! Who's a cute puppy!" He had begun to make goo noises as Cho let out a few yips and licked his face.
Mikan continued to stare, was this man really the headmaster?

He was cradling the puppy in his arms, making goo noises, "Who's cute? Who's cute?"

Cho yipped again, wagging his tail.

"A fine specimen. "The headmaster handed back the puppy, "Please sit. "

Mikan felt the floor, she missed the chair by a mile.

"Ompf!" She pulled herself back up, waiting for him to say something.

"Mikan Tanaka. Sophomore transfer student. Partial scholarship granted due to dance. You have much talent they tell me. "

Mikan nodded her head and smiled.

"You have a very bright future ahead of you if manage to keep on the right path, study hard, and follow your dreams."

Mikan released her breath, "Hye."

"Now, as far as your punishment-" He began, but paused, as there was a chorus of voices outside. Mikan realized her friends were screaming, "KYA!" as only they do when their around a host club member or members. Yui was screaming about how the white knight had come!

A few seconds later an out of breath Tamaki Souh landed on the floor gasping for air. He hit a bowing almost worshipping pose on the ground as he cried, "Please father have mercy! It was not her fault! It is mine and the twins! We take all the blame, we accidently caused her much distress and have been trying to cheer her up!"

Father? MIkan wondered looking at the bowing blonde on the floor, and the grey haired man behind the desk.

"Tamaki-" The headmaster sighed, "What have I told you about interrupting your peers. " He turned to her Mikan, "Your are free to go."

Mikan bowed low carrying Cho with her, as a very sad Tamaki floated behind her, pale as a ghost.

"Tamaki-sempi." Mikan began, placing a hand on his shoulder when they had entered the waiting room, "Thank you for coming to my support. I really appeciate it!"

He stared at her, as a certain awe hit his eyes "The princess has forgiven me! The princess has forgiven me! You are to kind! And sweet! And lovely!" He yelled as he grabbed her in a tight embrace spinning around and around.

'Please stop!" She yelled" You're crushing my puppy!"

HE halted immeadiltaly, "I'm so sorry! Please forgive me again."

"I've already forgiven you." Mikan answered, as she began to open the office door, only to be met by the twins she had run over two days before.

"That's suprising. 'They commented as they forced her back in to the office which was now becoming slightly cramped, "Considering Milord is a moron!"

"Who are you calling a Moron?" Tamaki asked

"You. 'They shrugged

Mikan, now realizing that she could slip away unnoticed, praticially had to drag her friends away from the spectecle.

"They're arguging." Momo fanned herself,"How beautiful and exciting!"

Rai and Yui only nodded to overcome for words.

Mikan rolled her eyes, trying hard not to laugh at her friends comments, she felt a hand on her shoulder. When she turned all three of the boys were staring at her.

"Why'd you leave?' They asked

"You seemed busy." Mikan answered, "And I have to get back to class."
"We're walk you to class." The twins told her, shoving Tamaki to the ground, "Your class is the oppiste way Milord."

"But-but-but" Tamaki started

"Haruhi will be wondering where we are? We were going to meet her, but since your closer-" They didn't finish their sentence as Tamaki sprinted away leaving a trail of dust.

"Wow. Is he on the track team?" Mikan aksed as they began to walk again. Her friends had run off with her things.

The twins laughed, as if they thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

"We're the Hitachiin brothers." They told her.
"I'm Karou-"

"I'm Hariku-"

"Yes I remember." She answered, "Thank you for the flowers."

"We are sorry we made you cry." The told her, as they walked on either side, 'But we didn't you would be that emotionally distressed over it?"

Mikan felt herself turn beat red as she covered her eyes, Cho yipped from the pressue, and she lowered her hands, "I over reacted. I can get really flustered sometimes, but to be fair you guys didn't give me a fair chance. You should know that a persons first reaction when they get back into a corner is to retaliate,."

"Oh rabid dog!" They laughed

"Hariku, Karou? We're have you been?" A shorter guy called striding up to them, "I've been carrying you bags around for the last fifteen minutes."

"Aww, Haruhi is so sweet." They smiled as they went to meet their friend.
"It was nice to meet you." MIkan smiled as she limped by them. They were to involved teasing Haruhi to notice her sudden abscene.

"What was it like?" Momo asked as she came running up, "Tell us all about it."
MIkan took one last glance at the brothers, "Not much to tell."

The three girls, looked at each other and giggled, but didn't press the matter further.

'Come on Mikan. If we don't hurry we won't get a seat." Rai warned.

"I'm coming." Mikan answered as she limped behind, "it's hard to move in this cast."
