Chapter 81
Continuing from Chapter 80, as Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume were running back to the classroom, Tsubasa ran into them. He shouted out to them asking for what reason are they in such a hurry.
Upon seeing Tsubasa, the 3 of them replied together (because what they called Tsubasa was SO cute~~~)
"Kage (Shadow)," Ruka replied, "What are you doing here?"
"Hage (Baldy)," Hotaru replied, "Long time no see,"
"Mage (Hairstyle for Samurais)," Natsume replied.
After hearing that, Tsubasa said, "Since when had the last name of calling me started to end with 'Ge' and most of them had to do with hairstyles..?"
After a quick explanation to Tsubasa as to what had happened, the 3 of them started to dash off. However, Tsubasa continued asking them if they already had a plan in minds to counter Fuukidai.
Ruka then turned to Natsume and said, "Do we have a plan?"
Natsume turned to Hotaru, "You have one right?"
Hotaru looked at the both of them for a while and said,
"I was only doing a marathon run. I had no idea the since when these 2 people had been following me. Are they stalkers? (hahaha~ calling Ruka a stalker?! xD Hotaru-sama!!!) "
The 3 boys were shocked to hear what Hotaru said for covering up that she had no plans at all. Tsubasa thought that it was a brilliant 'reason'.
The screen changes to between Mikan and Kojima.
Mikan was surprised after Kojima told her that he is the representative for the Physical Class. In other words, he is both the Student Council representative as well as the Physical Class representative.
Mikan was very taken aback and confused at the same time as to why is such person helping her so much. Kojima explained that he could not reveal much to her yet, all he could say was he was told by somebody to carry out that instruction.
Mikan wondered who that person was although on her face it was written, "Sakurano-sen.." (it should be *senpai but that word was cut off xD). From here, Kojima told her that it was not Sakurano.
Kojima further ensured Mikan that even though he was not able to tell her much, there is somebody protecting her at the back and that both he and Sakurano were just doing the same thing from their hearts. However, being different from Sakurano, Kojima is not as busy as he, thus, Kojima was the one who went to Mikan's help.
Mikan was thinking who can that person, protecting her be...
As Kojima was telling Mikan that she has no punishments and that he would do something to cover that matter, Mikan was thinking through what Kojima had said to her earlier about that there is a person protecting Mikan at the back in that same school.
She finds it unbelievable because after having Fuukidai being established, and changing the student council representative, she thought that she and her friends' life would be worse than before. She was surprised that despite all that is going on, there's somebody doing the same thing as what Sakurano is doing... Once again, she had no idea who Sakurano is... and what is that reason for behind all the acts of protecting her...
After which, Kojima used his ALICE and told Mikan that he has to leave. At the same time he added his concern to her that she be careful of members of Fuukidai because that trick cannot be used too many times, and he left.
The looks before and after how Kojima is with and without his ALICE was so much a big difference that Mikan was speechless and left another question mark in Mikan's heart as to what kind of person Kojima is.
After that, somebody reported to the school's Principal that Mikan has been saved by Kojima safely.
Back to Natsume, Ruka, Hotaru and Tsubasa.
Both Ruka and Hotaru were hiding behind a bush eavesdropping the conversation between Tsubasa and Natsume.
Ruka was not very agreed to Hotaru's actions, he said,
"Imai..."
"What?" came Hotaru.
"We're like eavesdropping other people's conversation...it's best that we..." before Ruka could end his sentence, Hotaru interuppted,
"Why?"
"Because.. it's bad towards Natsume..."said Ruka.
"Why..?"
"Why you said.." continued Ruka.
It was a flashback on what Tsubasa had told the 3 of them earlier...
"There could be a slight percentage on lightening Mikan's punishiment, right? Also, since i have a message to pass right now, i'll go ask if there's something that can be done about it," said Tsubasa.
"A message? Why is there a message?" asked Hotaru.
"Hmm~ it's not important to be bothered by it. Anyway, what do you all intend to do if even all of you were caught by Fuukidai?" said Tsubasa.
Before Tsubasa was able to finish his words, the 3 of them had already turned around and were about to leave, Tsubasa held them back by shouting,
"Wait! Wait! Yes yes yes! I have! I have! A message! A message!"
After he got their attention, he said,
"Alright? All of you must go straight back! Ok?"
Hotaru was not satisfied with that but went away together with Ruka. However, Natsume remained behind. Hotaru happened to overhear what Tsubasa told Natsume.
"Anyhow, about Mikan's case, just leave it to me and Tono. The rest of you don't try to do anything else,"
"Are you sure you're ok with that?" said Natsume.
"Hmm?"
"That's because any thoughtless action you (Natsume used, "teme" a very rude term for "you" in Japanese ^_^) made, Mikan (Kyaaa~! Natsume called her name again!! xDD) might be aware of that case isn't it? I mean the case on you being transferred over to the Dangerous Class. She is still aware of this, right?" said Natsume.
Both Hotaru and Ruka, who were behind the bush were shocked after hearing that Tsubasa is going to the Dangerous Class.
Natsume added that,
"Well, since the presence of the transferred student, she may not have noticed that though,"
Tsubasa said, "about that, i have already spoken to the other people of the Special class to cover that matter up. Anyhow, even though it was said that i have been shifted to the Dangerous Class, i am still held back by the Special class so there is nothing to worry about.
If Mikan were to learn about this, she would put all the blame to herself without a doubt. After hearing about the current situation that Mikan is right now from you guys, i have no intentions of depressing Mikan further.
Also, if the case that we are working on right now is known, we would not be able to face her right?"
Natsume asked if Tsubasa's team had managed to captured, Azumi Yuka, Mikan's mother.
Tsubasa replied," That the report given for this time was fake again. To begin with,i have to pray that she would be able to escape from our hands.
Since she's Mikan's mother, it is no wonder that Mikan will be targeted by the school."
"Let me know if she is caught," said Natsume.
Tsubasa told him that he knows to do that and he went on asking if anything changes have occurred around Hotaru-chan and Ruka-pyon. Natsume replied that for the time being, yes.
Tsubasa replied, "I see.. looks like i cannot be rest assured yet," and he said that he had better get going and told Natsume to go back soon too.
Hotaru was trying to absorb what she has just overheard. The woman with the stealing ALICE and all that had happened relating to her. Hotaru was worried for Mikan.
In the meantime, Mikan had finally returned to where everyone is.Mikan was excited to see everyone that she ran towards them. However, someone called her from behind,
"What do you think you're doing being so friendly with your enemies?"
Mikan was grabbed backwards by someone,
"During the little while that we hadn't met, did you grow a bit bigger, Mikan?"
"Tsubasa-senpai..."
"What position are you to be saying that?" said Misaki.
"Hey, Tsubasa! Now what did you think you're doing? Sexual harrassment? Switch places with me!" said Tono from behind.
"Tono-senpai, Misaki-senpai, Megane-senpai," said Mikan.
Mikan then cried and hugged Tsubasa.
"Tsubasa-senpai you idiot!!! I've looked everywhere! Even i went to the Special Class classroom, anywhere, Tsubasa is not around! I really lonely! Be it The Sports Festival, training, even listening to stories that i wanted to, I have always thought of Tsubasa-senpai! Even so, Tsubasa-senpai left without any notice! I felt so insecure that i thought you have already forgotten about us!"
After listening to that, Tsubasa apologised, "Sorry. I see.. i have let you felt insecure, Mikan. It was your first Sports Festival yet i was not able to be by your side teaching you, not being able to train with the rest for it, indeed, the fun for this event had dropped about half. Sorry Mikan! But! It's going to be alright! As long as all that i am doing has come to an end, it will be fine! So! It's the Sports Festival today! Let's warm things up, have loadsa fun that all the sadness you have be gone at just one blow!"
"U..um!" said Mikan.
Meanwhile, a rumour about Mikan had just been spreading around (very likely to be started by Luna... =.=")
"Hey, have you heard? That rumour about Mikan-chan,"
"Aa, you mean the one on her being caught by Fuukidai and got released so soon?"
"It was said that she did some sexual tricks to the members of Fuukidai!"
Ruka overheard that sentence.
"I heard that she showed her panties to them so that she could be spared of the punishment!"
Iinchou over that sentence and was shocked.
Not knowing anything, Mikan was happily skipping around because since she had finally seen Tsubasa. Even though she was very affected by the rumours going on about her these days. Just then she was reminded of that case. She felt Luna looking at her from behind and somehow, she had managed to figure out why did that happen.
She took a little glance at Natsume and remembered what Luna had said to her before,
"To [keep quiet] and to [not attract attention]..."
Just then, someone shouted to her.
"Oi!"
Mikan was shocked, she turned around only to see Natsume. She replied,
"NaNa NaNa..Natsume?!"
"7.7(Nana in Japanese means 7 ^_^) Natsume?" said Natsume, "I heard that you showed your panties to some stranger boy. Is that true?"
Iinchou, Ruka and Hotaru heard what Natsume had said, Hotaru went, "how can that be?" while Natsume, feeling irritated and impatient, asked Mikan again,
"I am asking you if that is true! Come on! Quick! Answer me!"
Mikan was angry thinking that Natsume had actually believed that rubbish. She was about to reply "how can it be?!" she felt that Luna's vision falling onto her, she said against heart,
"It... It's none of your concerns!"
"What are you hiding about?" said Natsume, "you've changed."
"Heh?" said Mikan.
"What happened between you and her (Luna) before? Answer me!" continued Natsume.
"Na.." began Mikan.
Just then she was reminded of what Luna had told her,
"If you wish that you and the people are around you getting hurt can get lesser..."
Mikan continued, " You're Luna's partner right? You're... no longer my partner or anything, so, stop bothering me!"
There was a short silence after Mikan said that.
"Is it a trouble to you even if i am worried for you?" added Natsume. (YOU GO BOY!!! NATSUME!!! ≧▽≦ *melts*)
Mikan was surprised at that reply because she had told Natsume not to go away from her when choosing teams for the Sports Festival, Natsume chose to go to the White Team despite Mikan had told him that she wishes him to go over to her team.
Mikan replied, "Yes, it is!"
