Chapter 4
Luna's POV
Why that dumb maid is befriending Flaming Stars. How dare she, someone as low as her should not even be near them.
I storm over to where they are and stop in front of them with my followers behind me.
"What do you think you're doing bitch?" –Luna
"Walking home" –Mikan
"Why are you with Flaming Stars?" –Luna
"It's not really your business Luna" –Mikan
"Don't talk to Luna in such a manner" "Yeah who do you think you are" "You have not right to speak to our leader like that" "Our senpai is your master" My followers said
"Ugh. You guys are only her followers, you live in her shadow why don't you try being her friend that's a much better path or at least stop wasting your life following around someone like her" –Mikan
My followers suddenly went dead quiet.
"We gotta get going Mikan we have a lot of homework" –Anna
"Okay" –Mikan
They walk right past me and leave.
"Luna-senpai" –a follower of Luna
"What!" I snap
They flinch.
"We were thinking about what Mikan said and we're sorry to say but we will no longer be your followers'. We are living in your shadows and we don't like it. You were once a true leader but not anymore. Can we be friends instead?"
"No! I don't need friends their a bother; followers are much better they always agree with me"
"Then sorry we no longer will have any connection with you"
Normal POV
With that all the followers left Luna standing there dumbfounded.
That was the last day of the school year so everyone was on summer break
Mikan spent her time over the summer doing chores and visited her friend's when they were not on dates with their boyfriends.
Of course the news of a famous band having girlfriends would be known to the public soon.
Many times Mikan saw in the newspapers her friends with the members of Flaming Stars going out on dates and Mikan was in some of them when they would go in a group to spend the day.
During an interview with Flaming Stars the host asked of the relationships and Ruka, Yuu, Koko, and Kitsuneme confirmed the rumors true while Natsume said he and Mikan were only friends.
Since Luna didn't have her followers anymore she spent her time making a mess of the house so she could watch Mikan working to clean everything. She thought it was hilarious to make Mikan struggle to keep up with all her chores.
First Day of New School Year Mikan's POV
"Mikan! We're finally seniors so happy!" Anna and Nonoko said as I walked towards them.
"Yeah very exciting" I said in a tired tone. The baby in my stomach is slowing me down in my chores. I'm getting more tired from doing the difficult chores.
"You don't sound excited, oh you have an appointment after school for another check-up we'll finally get to know its gender" –Hotaru
"That's great Hotaru!" I said a bit happier now
Hotaru has been taking me to the doctor to make sure the baby is okay and her mom has given me great advice on how to look after myself when I'm in this state.
After school at doctor's office
Me and Hotaru were in the doctor's office waiting for the results after a few scannings.
The doctor finally comes in with some files. She smiles at me.
"Congratulation you are holding a healthy 7 month old baby girl!" –doctor
"Thank you Doctor" –Hotaru
I was over-joyed to hear the news.
We headed to Hotaru's house since my friends were waiting for us there.
As soon as I tell then the news smiles are plastered on their faces. They start jumping with joy.
"What are you going name her?" –Hotaru
Sumire, Anna, and Nonoko stop jumping all over the place waiting for my answer.
I think for a while until I finally thought of something.
"Akemi" I say slowly
"Red beauty?" –Anna
"Yes"
"Why?" –Sumire
Hotaru toke out one of the pictures the doctor gave us
It was a colored pictured so they could see her better.
Though her eyelids were shut the camera used was able to go see past it and it revealed crimson eyes behind them. Exactly like Natsume's.
The picture also showed that her hair looked like it had Mikan's colors.
"It's a perfect name for her I'm sure she will turn out pretty" –Nonoko
"Thanks, I hope she does"
Normal POV next month
Mikan was 8 months pregnant her baby bump was getting noticeable even when wearing loss clothes.
"You're moving to my house today" Hotaru suddenly said while walking home. Sumire, Anna, and Nonoko had left first since they had a date to get to. Hotaru had declined the date from Ruka.
"What? Why?" –Mikan
"Your bump is getting too noticeable and you needa get away from doing all those chores it's not good for the baby for you to be so stressed out. You want the best for her right?"
"Yes, I wanna get her everything I can"
"Great then let's go to your house and pack your things"
Hotaru had gotten some maids and butlers from her house to come and do all the work of packing everything in Mikan's room. Hotaru's parents greeted Mikan with open arms and she was lead to the guest's room where her belongings were already unpacked and put away.
"Hotaru what am I supposed to do about school?"
"Ship school obviously"
"But I can't miss school I'll get in trouble"
"I know that I'm thinking of a way to get you past"
"Okay thanks"
Back at Himeko's house hours later
"Mikan! Why is my dinner not on the table? Have you ironed my dress for my tea party?! Mikan! Answer me this instance!" –Himeko
"Mikan!" Why haven't you done my homework yet, you still need to clean my room, and you needa iron my uniform for tomorrow?!" –Luna
….
"Mikan! Answer me!" Luna and Himeko shout in unison when they did not get a response.
They hurry to Mikan's room on the first floor and burst in.
Its empty there's no clothes in the closet and all her belongings were no longer on the table.
"What is that bitch thinking?" –Luna
"Calm down Luna sweetie when she goes to school tomorrow give her what she deserves please darling" Himeko says with evil in her voice.
"Very well mother" Luna says with a devilish smirk on her face
Next day after school
Front door opens.
"Mother!" –Luna
The mansion door slams shut hard.
"Yes darling?" Himeko asks while walking to her daughter in the living room.
"The bitch wasn't at school today none of her friends were willing to answer my questions."
Flashback
"Hey pink-haired girl where's my maid?" -Luna
Anna turns to see Luna in front of her desk with her hands on her hip.
"Why would I tell someone like you?" -Anna
"Cause I'm her master"
"I don't know and you're not her boss" Anna lied easily
"Liar. You better tell me or I'll…."
"Why does it matter to you" –Hotaru
Flaming Stars looks at Luna and she notices it so she changes her answer
"Well of course I would be worried about her I mean she is my sister" she says with too much sweetness.
"Your only saying that to impress Flaming Stars" –Hotaru
"No"
"Rephrase. You're only saying that to impress Natsume. You have no chance"
"What! What's your problem all I wanna know is where's Mikan"
"Well we'll never tell you so leave us alone" –Sumire
"Fine be that way bitches but when I see her you'll regret this" Luna storms out of the room
End of Flashback
"I see well let's just forget about her there's no point in getting worked up trying to find a worthless person we'll just hire a few maids to do the chores" –Himeko
Next Day Homeroom Hotaru's POV
I hope this plan works. I know my 12th grade homeroom teacher Shigeo-sensei is the younger brother of the high school principal. Blackmailing skills come in handy.
I arrive at school 15 minutes before the first bell would ring and go up to sensei's desk.
"Sensei" I state plainly
He looks up from his paper work and smiles at me.
"Ah, hello Imai-san may I help you"
I hold up a picture of Shigeo-sensei kissing one of the girl sophomores on the lips.
"Imai-san!? Why do you have that picture!?" He stands up to grab it.
"I won't sell it or expose you secret of your forbidden love if you allow me to be the one home schooling Mikan. I'll give her all the work you give us as well as the homework and besides I'm smarter then you and most of the other teachers here. All you have to do is input the grades and not mark her absence so she won't get in trouble. I won't tell you why she's absent"
"Imai-san I cannot do that the principal would fire me!"
"Then go ask the principal for your approval"
"I would never ask for such things"
I hold up another picture of him wearing a skirt and frilly blouse and a satisfied Narumi-sensei in the background.
"How'd you get that!?"
"We're going to the principal" I start walking toward the principal's office.
I open the door as nudge sensei to go in.
He enters. I close the door and wait outside. I take out my laptop from my bag and open it to show the secret video camera in the principal's office.
"Hi Souji-nii"
"Oh hello there brother why are you visiting couldn't it wait for after school?"
"Well not really, I'm asking your approval for Hotaru Imai-san in my homeroom class to be home schooling Mikan. She'll give Mikan my work and bring it back so I can count the grades. I also ask for you to approve of me not marking Mikan's absence." –Shigeo-sensei
"Are you crazy brother have to fallen for another high school girl you must stop this I cannot allow it! Ever!" –Souji
It looks like it's time for me to step in. I put away my laptop and walk into the office.
"Imai-san what are you doing here? Is what Shigeo-sensei said about you wanting to home school Mikan true?"
"What if it is?"
"I cannot allow for such actions!"
"It'll only be for a few months, besides…" I show him a picture of him in a bunny costume on Halloween with his wife beside him in the same outfit.
The principal blushes a deep red.
"I will not be blackmailed so easily by you Imai-san" Principal stubbornly says.
I pull out two more pictures of him. One of him sleeping on his desk, drooling and the other of him falling into mud on a rainy day.
"I have plenty of these Principal they could sell for millions"
The principal looks annoyed but defeated.
…
"Brother I approve of your idea. Hotaru may home school Mikan and you do not have to mark her absent when she isn't present. Make sure Mikan does her work Hotaru"
"I enjoy doing business with you Principal Souji, Shigeo-sensei."
The first bell rings so I turn toward the doors to head to class.
