Fooled Again
Tsubame SakuraChapter 14
She growled, holding her chin as she walked in circles. And her forehead is wrinkled. She looked up, and stopped at her tracks. Then she sighed, "How can I tell her?" She asked herself, talking to no one.
She let out a sigh again, and sat on her chair beside her, "Mikan-senpai, you really need to know this." Mitsuri said, as she dialed Mikan's number on her phone.
(Mikan's POV)
Ring, ring… ring, ring…
"Hello?" I picked up my phone, my voice was weak. It is early in the morning and somebody calls me? How great can that be –
"Hello, Mikan-senpai?" I heard a familiar voice say.
"O-oh, Mitsuri-chan? What is it?" I groaned a little.
"If it's okay, can I come over to your house? At least for a little while…" She asked nicely. What a cute girl, I just can't reject her request.
"Oh sure, Mitsuri-chan, what time will you come?" I asked.
"Oh that! Actually, I'm at your front gate right now." I heard her chuckle cheerfully. What! She's at the gate right now! I haven't even eaten breakfast yet!
"Eh! J-just wait for me, Mitsuri-chan. I'll just go and get dressed!" I panicked as I hung up the phone. I struggled putting my head in the big whole of my t-shirt, and stumbled down the stairs.
"Damn it, Misturi-chan. At least, give a heads up first." I grumbled. I opened the door, and opened the gate. She was there, smiling.
"I'm really sorry about this Mikan-senpai! But I really need to talk with you." She said cheerfully.
I sighed, "It's okay, you can go in." I said, letting her in the house.
"I have a very good reason why I'm here, Mikan-senpai." She said, walking up the stairs.
"Okay, we can talk in out room." I smiled at her, wondering what this is all about. I led her to my room and went downstairs to get some tea.
I sat next to her by the time I went up again, then she gladly took the tea I made for her, "So Mitsuri-chan, there's something you wanted to say?" I asked.
She stopped drinking, and put down the cup, then her face became serious, "Yes, I wanted to confirm some things to you Mikan-senpai."
I gulped, "What about?" I asked.
She looked at me, then her face became sad, "Rokai Koushiku…" (Refer to chapter 6)
After hearing that name, my mind went blank, in silence; I let her continue what she was saying.
"I just wanted to tell you… he was my first cousin." She said.
I looked at her, "Was?" I asked.
She looked at me, and then she looked at the floor, "Yes… was. He died in a car accident."
I couldn't believe what she was saying; all of it is foreign languages to me. I didn't understand.
"One time, when we had a talk, you told me that he tricked you, but it was a lie, right?" (And again, refer to chapter 6) She saw right through me, she knew it was a lie that I told her.
"But it was actually, that you saw him kissing a girl in his bedroom, am I right?" Mitsuri continued to say. I can't talk, I… just wanted to forget it. I almost forgot it.
Then my eyes started to get wet…
"Rokai? Rokai, are you here?" I asked, looking for him in the house. It was dark and no one was around. I went up, to see if he was in his room.
I opened the door, and took a slight peek, and then my eyes shot wide open, seeing him with another girl… kissing another girl.
I opened the door fully, making them notice me, I was crying, I was crying while looking at them, then he grabbed the girls shoulders, making her stop the kiss. Then he looked at me, with shock placed on his face.
"M-mikan?" He asked, I ran away, I didn't want to hear his name, looking back; I can see him running after me.
"Leave me alone!" I shouted, running as fast as I can, as I hid in the people around.
"M-mikan-senpai?" I heard Mitsuri stuttered, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have told you yet! But I knew you misunderstood my cousin." She said.
I looked at her, "Misunderstood?" My voice was stern.
"Yes, you misunderstood him, Mikan-senpai." She said as she sighed, "You see… that truth is, you really have no reason to hate guys." She said.
"No reason…?"
"Because, while he kissed that girl…" I flinched, "He didn't really want to kiss the girl. She was a member of a group they were assigned to take part in a project. All of the members went to Rokai's house to do it. Then after they were done, all the members left and that girl didn't, because she asked if she could help him with it more…"
I kept silent, listening to her story, "That girl, actually likes him. That's why she made a move by kissing him, Mikan-senpai, it was his against will." She said.
"But when he saw you looking at them, he really tried to explain it to you, he got in the car, and when he was about to go to your house, a truck, who's driver is drunk made a right turn even though the arrow is still red…"
My mind went blank again; I was the reason… that he's dead now? I thought as I cried.
"Mi-Mikan-senpai." I saw Mitsuri face in worry. I have nothing more to say, I'm thankful for Mitsuri-chan… for not hating me for killing her cousin.
"I'm… so sorry." I said as I ran out of the room.
"Mikan-senpai!" I heard he shout, running away from her. Running away from this madness, I didn't want it. I was wrong…
While thinking all of these things, I didn't know where I was headed, when I turned to one corner, I bumped into someone. I tried to stop crying to apologize to that person.
"I-I'm so—"
"Baka, what are you doing here?" I looked up, seeing Natsume looking at me. Then I cried even more.
"Why are you crying… again?" He asked, as his eyes widened.
I cried, my cheeks were wet and red, "I…-hic-… don't know!!" I shouted, still crying my heart out.
Then he let out a sigh, he grabbed my waist, and lifted me up. "W-what –" He carried my body on his shoulders as I groaned in embarrassment.
"W-what are you doing Natsume?!" I shouted.
"Baka," He just said that and took out his tongue.
I gave up on punching him at the back, and just lay there, blushing.
After a while of him walking, he put me down on a chair as I looked around to know where we went. What the hell? We went in an ice cream shop?! I never knew Natsume would like these kinds of things!
After thinking that, he was done ordering. "Wow… that was fast." I said, but still a little bit sad.
Then he looked at me, "What happened?" He asked.
I looked down, "What? Nothing happened." I said.
He sighed, "Whatever." and then he noticed the waiter was coming towards them with Natsume's order. He placed the ice cream in front of me.
"What's this?" I asked him.
"Ice cream duh," He said, "Hurry up and eat it."
"Uh… O-okay, thanks for the ice cream." I asked. Then ate a spoon full, this is what I need right now.
"Baka, you're like a kid."
I choked, "W-what?"
"After giving some treats you stopped crying, stupid." He said.
I wanted to get angry, but for some reason I laughed, "Yeah, you're right." I said, smiling at him.
Then he looked away, "You are stupid." I smiled at him, I guess I have no reason to hate Natsume anymore.
