One Way Or Another -2
Chapter 2 --Mikan’s memory was tampered by the anti-organization before she was saved by the others. Which memory was lost? Will she regain it? Or will she just leave it at that? How far will she go to get it back?
“Mikan!” the whole class greeted after a day she got back from the academy.
She was questioned first by the teachers, authorities and such about how she is, what she did and the like. They seem to find nothing that will endanger the other students.
Mikan greeted all her friends back as merrily as they did. Soon Narumi entered the room.
“Okay class, we’re all glad to have Mikan back here, so why don’t we just have a free period today” he announced smiling joyously
“What’s her star rank, sensei?” Yuu asked “Is she going to continue hers before?”
“Fortunately, we teachers have discussed about that” Narumi answered and beamed at Mikan “You’re a three star now, Mikan!”
“Wow!” Mikan beamed as she was handed the stars “Thank you!”
The class enjoyed the day with Mikan back, it was like old times. Except for a certain boy, Natsume.
“Why aren’t you talking to Mikan?” Ruka asked Natsume who was reading a book
Natsume, lifted the book a little to see Mikan’s actions, and smiled inside, she was doing well, only if she remember me I would have like it more “She’s busy”
“Oh, Okay” Ruka said. He knew when Natsume didn’t like the conversation around them. He looked at Hotaru who was testing an invention. It was a mind reading device or better yet called memory lane.
Hotaru looked at the back, sensing someone staring at her. She got out her baka gun and got ready to shot, whoever the hell it was. She was sure it was no other than the blonde animal lover. She looked at him in the eyes and saw that he was scared, confused and somehow glad.
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
Everyone turned their attention to Ruka who was lying on the floor on one of the corners of the room. The only sound heard was Hotaru fixing her invention. Silence passed and they turned their attention to Hotaru, who aimed her baka gun at someone who was really gawking and was ready to attack her, Sumire. She was furious; Hotaru just harmed one of her crushes.
“IMAI---!!” she screamed but was cut off when the baka bullets hit her and sent her flying on one of the corners of the room.
Silence again.
Once again everyone was staring at Hotaru. Mikan knowing her best friend a long time made a scene, to stop everyone from staring at her friend.
“Hotaru, will you stop shooting everyone with that gun” Mikan said, stepping away from the crowd and in front of Hotaru. Now everyone’s stare was on Mikan, even Natsume who stopped reading his manga when she spoke. All of the sudden she started to dance and sing at the same time.
Everyone was now staring at her. Even Ruka and Sumire were up already were just watching in there position, apparently stunned.
Hotaru smiled inside, Thanks Mikan, she thought, for turning all the gazes to you and not me.
Suddenly, Mikan drop dead on the floor. Hotaru was there first then Natsume then Ruka. Natsume carried Mikan bridal style and headed for the doors which were held open by Yuu.
“We’ll take care of her” Hotaru said “Get the class ordered, Mr. President”
When they were out of the building, Hotaru put out a remote control and pressed the red button on it. Seconds later there was an elephant in front of them, and it put down its nose and revealed an escalator. They hop on it and it started moving to the location of the Hospital.
They ran inside the Hospital and placed Mikan on one of the nurse’s care. Soon the nurse was accompanied by a doctor.
After a long time of waiting, the doctor finally allowed them to visit her but hold Hotaru up.
“Imai-san,” the doctor said “Ms. Sakura seems to have her memory meddled with”
“Meddled with? How?” came the monotonously reply
“Maybe the anti-Alice organization didn’t want her to remember some things,” the doctor guessed “how you asked, my hunch is that they have something or someone with the Alice of Memory to do that to her”
“Oh, okay” Hotaru said “is there any chance to regain those memories?”
“I’m not so sure yet,” he answered “I’ll tell you later”
“Thanks, doctor” Hotaru said.
She entered the room with her mind working on how to recover her memories, but stopped when she saw her unmoving body.
Her hair was let down and she was wearing one of the hospital’s gown and her skin was pale. Ruka was sitting beside her and he was holding her hands. He was just staring at her and recalling the memories they had together.
Hotaru felt sad just looking at her best friend, but she felt devastated when he saw Natsume. The cold boy was just staring at the window that was showing the weather outside. It matched his mood perfectly. Sometime during their wait for the doctor to allow them see Mikan it started to rain real hard. Natsume was standing in front of the window with his forehead resting on the cool glass of the window. His breath was fogging the glass. His hands were kept on inside his pockets, which everyone knows was now balled in a fist.
Hotaru sat on the couch and called Natsume to sit down beside her. “Come on Hyuuga, if Mikan’s awake she wouldn’t want you to be in that current position”
Natsume didn’t move.
Ruka stood up and said “I better get going and tell everyone Mikan was just tired so as not to worry those” he kissed her forehead and whispered “Get well soon, Mikan”
He exited the room and Hotaru spoke again, “She will, most likely scream at you for having to worry for her”
“That would mean much if she really do remember me you know” Natsume said taking Ruka’s former position
Hotaru just looked at the two with saddened eyes and said, “I’ll leave you two alone, I’ll be back”
Hotaru headed for the mini library in the Hospital to look up for an Alice called Memory Alice.
Hotaru stayed in the library for a long time, reading all the information about it. She left the place just minutes before dinner. When she went out of the library, she almost scared the librarian half to death.
“Imai! I didn’t know you were here!” she exclaimed
“I’m going now” Hotaru said leaving the librarian fussing over herself
-- In the Dinning Hall
The whole class of Mikan was quite, scared and confused. They knew Mikan was brought to the hospital and was asked to stay there for the night. They were all confused as to why she fainted and scared if Mikan is sick or something.
“Where have you been? I was looking for you everywhere” Ruka asked Hotaru outside the dinning hall
“If you were looking for me everywhere then you should have seen me” the girl replied pushing pass the doors
Ruka blushed, that is true. He shook his head trying to control his embarrassment, “so were where you?”
“I was reading some books in the mini library of the Hospital”
“Oh,” he said “about what?”
“Important things” said Hotaru. She looked around the room, she noticed that everyone is staring at her with question like eyes and Kokoryomi was having trouble not hearing everyone’s thought. He burst out of the room screaming, which made everyone’s attention on the tracks he left.
“Where’s Natsume?” Hotaru asked noticing the boy gone
Ruka choked on his breath but manage to cover it up with a groan, “Not him too? Don’t tell me I’m going to look everywhere again *sighs* well my hunch is he’s with Mikan”
“Okay good” she said walking away and headed for the hospital. She noticed that Ruka wasn’t following, he was staring into space “Aren’t you coming?”
“I’ll just catch up with you later” Ruka answered then laughed nervously “Mr. Narumi wanted to see me”
“Alright” she said dismissively and returned on her tracks toward the hospital while Ruka headed the other way, to the one room he is free to let his mask fall down, his room.
