Unconditional Love

Flashback from the Last Chapter…

"What do you need?" I asked as she come closer. She's wearing a cloak and she has a shoulder-length hair but still I can't see her face.

She suddenly went nearer and before I even know it she's hugging me. I push her away. The bright light of the moon illuminated her face. I was surprised when I saw who it was. I sure know her but I can't remember where or when. She resembles my face. It's like I'm looking at my reflection in the mirror except she has a short hair. Then it hit me. But I know it can't be her. Jii-chan told me she's dead. He can't possibly be her. But now I'm facing her.

Mikan take a step backwards, she can't believe what's happening or what she's seeing.

It was…

Chapter 19

Mikan's P.O.V.

It was…

"My name is Yuka Azumi. I'm your mother Mikan." She cried as she tried to hug me again but I just push her away.

"Liar! My jii-chan told me that my mother died years ago." I shouted at her. "You're a member of AAO so don't dare to near me again." I told her as she began to cry. I was surprised to see a member of AAO crying especially in front of me. But I won't trust anyone that easily. This is just one of their traps.

"Please listen…" she tried to say something but I interrupt her.

"No!" I shouted at her stubbornly.

"Please let me explain first." She said as she stands. This time she didn't try to hug me but her face is now wet because of all the crying she did. I look at her eyes. It was full of sadness and regret. I don't understand but I wanted to run on her side and hug her. I just felt sorry for her. But I still don't want to believe her especially when she said that she's my mother. Jii-chan wouldn't lie to me.

"Mikan I really am your mother." She began but I interfere again.

"I don't believe you. Just state your business and go away." I said coldly at her. She seems hurt on what I've said.

"How can I make you believe that I'm your mother?" she cried as tears started to come out again from her hazel eyes.

"Just prove it."

She stops for a while as if thinking then I began to be prepared if ever she plans on attacking me. But I was wrong she didn't attack me instead she get something from her pocket. When I get a better view I saw that it was a bracelet. I saw that bracelet before. It's the same bracelet as mine. How could she have the same?

"I know you're wondering how I have this bracelet. I'm glad that you keep your bracelet." She started as she raises the bracelet for me to get clearer view. It was exactly the same as mine.

"I gave that to your jii-chan. I told him to give it to you when you're old enough. I'm glad she gave it to you earlier just before you enter the academy." I can't believe what I'm hearing. Is she really my mother? I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should push her away or believe that she's my mother. I can't believe her maybe because it's not true or just simply because I can't accept her. Before I realize it I already ran to her side and hug her as she hugs me back.

"Is it really true that you're my mother?" I asked her again as I broke the hug and look at her eyes searching for the answers. She slowly nods and I saw in her eyes that she's telling the truth. I began to cry as she tries to comfort me. I'm happy, really happy I just can't help crying. It's the first time I was able to face my mother and hug her. After longing for a mother that cares and understands, now she's right here. She also seems to be very happy. I broke the hug as I wipe the tears on my eyes.

"I'm happy." I told her as I smile at her.

"I'm also happy." She said as she flashes me her smile, then her face suddenly turns serious.

"Listen to me carefully Mikan. I don't have enough time. You'll be in danger. The AAO wants you. They discovered that you also have the stealing alice."

"What do you mean okaa-san?" I asked her. She seems happier when I called her okaa-san.

"You need to leave the academy as soon as possible."

"I need to what?!" I shouted in shock.

"Can you please lower you're voice. You might wake up the students and they'll surely see me here with you."

"I'm sorry. But why do I need to leave?"

"As what I'm saying the AAO needs you. They'll do anything just to get you even harming your friends." She said as I just nod my head. "I know you don't want your friends to get involve so it is best for you to leave." She explained.

"If I leave they will not be in danger, right?" I asked her unsure what to do or what to say. She nods her head.

"But what about my friends? Will they be okay even though I'm not here?" I asked her. I really don't want to leave the academy. I don't want to leave my friends but I don't want them to get hurt either.

"I don't know but that's the best you can do besides I know they can protect themselves. They're strong and I know you also are." She said calmly.

"I need to think about that first. Thank you for telling me okaa-san." I smiled at her.

"Think of it carefully. Do whatever your heart tells you to do. I don't want you to regret any decision that you will made."

"I will."

"I need to go now. Be careful. And thank you for accepting me as your mother." She said as she vanished into thin air. After she left I smile. This is just one great day. First I've been friends with Luna and now I just met my mother. But not all are great especially the thought of leaving my friends but I also don't want to take risk especially when it concerns my friends being harm.

End of Mikan's P.O.V.

The next day after staying so late at night the day before Mikan was surprise that she still manage to woke up early. She rubbed her eyes as she remember all that had happened yesterday. Those memories made her smile. She thought of how she and Luna became friends and all that happened until she met her mother. She was never been this happy.

"You need to leave the academy as soon as possible."

She suddenly frowns as she remembers that. That was what her mother told her. But she don't know if she should do what her mother said. But she cares for her friends so much and the thought of leaving all of them, including her friends, teachers and especially Natsume is too much for her. She's not that strong. She wanted to protect them by staying. But that would just make things more complicated especially when staying with them means endangering the life of the people she love.

"What should I do?" she asked herself. "I think I should think of it later." She said to no one in particularly as she get ready for school. This will be another long day for sure.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

On class Mikan was always spacing out thinking of what should she do. Stay or Leave? She easily hide to her friends that nothing is bothering her but of course there are some who never failed to notice, namely our flame caster Natsume and Blackmailing Queen Hotaru.

When the class ended Mikan is still looking at nothing.

"Oi Polkadots get up will you?" Natsume snap at her.

"I'm sorry Natsume." She said as she stands.

Before they could even leave the room someone grabbed Mikan's hands.

"Hotaru? Is anything wrong?" Mikan asked innocently. Instead of answering her question she turn her head on Natsume.

"Leave Hyuuga. As of now I need to talk with this baka." She said as she glare at him.

"Hn." Was all Natsume said as she left the room. He wasn't in the mood in arguing with Hotaru.

Hotaru swiftly turn her head at her.

"What's bothering you?" she asked.

"What are you saying? Didn't I told everyone that nothing's bothering me?" Mikan replied not looking at her eyes.

"You seem spacing out the whole day."

"Aou…Hotaru…it's just…" Mikan try to reason out but can't think of anything else to say.

"So tell me."

"Fine. Something is bothering me." I told her.

"Tell me did Hyuuga do something to you?" she asked. Mikan know she's worried but she can still keep her face emotionless.

"It's nothing that concerns Natsume."

"Then what it is?" she asked impatiently.

"Someone told me that the AAO…" before she could continue Hotaru interrupt her.

"That you're now the target of the AAO?" she asked as I nodded in agreement.

"You could have just told me." She said but still keeping that emotionless face of hers.

"I'm sorry but there's nothing to worry about I can protect myself." She said and give her an assuring smile.

"I know." She said as she walk away. Mikan sigh in relief. She didn't intend to tell Hotaru what had happened the day before. Well, at least she didn't lie she just didn't told her everything. Then she also leave the classroom not knowing where her foot will take her.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Before she knew it her feet just take her on a certain Sakura tree. 'Their' Sakura tree specifically. This place seems so special for both of them. When she's approaching the tree she saw Natsume under the tree leaning his back against the tree while as usual reading his manga.

"Hey Natsume!" Mikan called while approaching him.

"What do you need Polka?" he asked sounded somewhat annoyed because someone disturbed the piece and tranquility that he's having.

"Nothing." She said as she sits beside him.

"What's your problem?" he suddenly asked. Mikan was not surprised by this, she knew that Natsume noticed that something is bothering her and soon he will ask about it.

"I know you'd asked that. It's not that important anyway."

"Just tell me what it is?" he said annoyance evidence in his voice.

"It's just someone told me that I'm now the target of the AAO." She said calmly as she close her eyes.

"You call that nothing? You're life is in danger." He said, I smile when I notice he's worrying even though he still keeps that cold façade of his self.

"Well we're all doing our best to be careful." She stated.

"It's not that simple."

"I know. But as of now let's try to forget about it." Mikan told her while she rests her head on his shoulder. She just said that so that he wouldn't ask her something else.

Natsume was about to retort but just stay quiet when Mikan rested her head on his shoulder. 'If you don't want to talk about it I won't force you.'

Mikan accidentally read his mind and was glad that he also respects her decision.

"Arigatou." Mikan said as she held Natsume's hand.

"For what?" he asked.

"Nothing." Mikan said as she let go of his hand.

"You better go back to your room now. It's getting darker." Natsume told her but she's already planning to do that to think for a while.

"I know. Ja." Mikan waved at him as she walk to her room.

Mikan's P.O.V.

I still didn't know what to do but as of I now I think I'll just spend most of my time with my friends. It won't harm anyone if I stay here, right? Well that wasn't bad after all. But if something happen I will leave as soon as I can. Should I tell Hotaru and Natsume about the possibility that I need and I should leave? I don't want them to worry so ii guess I'll just keep it from them. I'm also happy that they understand and they care for me. That wasn't so bad after all. Luna being my friend, meeting my mother, knowing that my bestfriend and boyfriend cares for me. I felt so happy. My life could be happier with all of them if just the AAO is not after me. I think that's life. I need to face the reality whatever happens. Besides I have my friends who are and will always be there for me. Guess need to think of it again later. Need some sleep here…yawn…
