Forgotten (Dreamy days in West Tokyo fanfic) [ON HOLD]

D

As Haruki and Ichigo started their lecture on the girls, they remain completely expressionless.

"Miss Takahashi, will you please come to the principal's office after school?" a teacher poked her head into the classroom door.

"Hai." Mitsuko flashed a quick smile and 'yo-ed' her. The teacher seemed surprised at her slangish gesture, then walked away.

Miyuki sighed as Mitsuko kept that smug look on her face and finished her last bite of lunch. She slipped her phone out of her pocket and flung her leg over the other. 

"Oh My God!" Miyuki whisper-shouted at her, "you almost showed your--your--" she gave up when Mitsu cast her a side glance and re-focused on her phone.

"Our team lost 2 tournaments already cuz ur not here, dude"  

Mitsuko rolled her eyes and replied to her former teammate in volleyball. 

"ur the 1s who started isolating me" 

"i no, i no. were sory, ok?" 

nope. it wasn't ok at all. 

After school, she went directly to the ganpon's office. She told the others to go on without her.

"Mrs. Che." she reported with her head held high--with no trace of guilt. The ganpon smiled at her and handed her something. "It's from your aunt Joyie from New York. She said it was for Miyuki, but best for you to give it to her."

I headed to home. Well, technically Black Ship but that's our home now.

"No!" as soon as i open the door I see that Black Ship is a mess, thank god normally no customers come at this time. It's still barely 4. 

"What up?" I say and drop my backpack onto the ground. I sat by the counter, amused, while I watch the scene that's unfolding in front of me:

"Yuki-chan, can you please--" that's Rihito, I think, trying to approach Miyuki.

"No! I'm not gonna and you can't fu''ing make me!" heh. this is getting serious, Miyuki's starting to swear. Then why am I grinning? 

"Mitsuko! your just going to sit there and watch?! Qui--" Johji started.

"Yup." I say popping the p. Imma just gonna watch. I need some daily entertainment.

I LOL when Miyuki threw her textbook across the room at Take. "Seriously you're laughing..?" Takeshi murmured after catching the textbook.

Which personality is this? Some spoiled kid?

"Get lost!" she yelled again and was about to pick up her pencil case and throw it at Ichigo when Haruki rushed forward and grabbed it out of her hands. Why's she even screaming? What? 

When Miyuki finally noticed my presence, I was laughing. She immediately blushed red and I know she's back to normal now. 

"Oh my god...what did I do?" she gasped while picking up the stuff she threw across the room. 

"So? What happened?" I say still with hints of laughter in my voice. Turns out, she didn't want to do homework since it's double frustrating that its in a new language, they tried to help, but went overboard and pushed Miyuki into one of 'twins'.

"Tch. I thought it was something worth gagaing over," I clicked my tongue, "like wether she likes Haruki or Rihito. Cuz obviously she has a cru--"

She clapped a hand over my mouth before I could say crush on one of them. I smirked under her hand.

"Wait..what?!" my head turn to him and Haru was tinting pink slightly, but Rihito was, not surprisingly, totally okay--more than okay, he was grinning at her. 

Miyuki's PoV

MITSUKO, YOU JERK!!! 

She always sees through me but she doesn't need to say it out loud that I have a c--

"Oh." 

Then, Mitsu's expression turned serious as she got out something from her bag: "Aunt sent us this from Manhattan, it's our medicine. Y'know, to keep you a bit more stable." 

A ziplock contained blue and red little pebbles.

"The red ones are yours, and the blue ones are mine." she said, "this'll last a month. Don't mix 'em up, or else."

"Or else what?" I ask but she just smirked: "wouldn't you like to know?"

"Jerk." I mumbled while taking out a red pebble and dunk water down my throat to wash it down.

"What do these do?" Johji asked while examining our medicine.

"Hers are pills for Dissociative Identity Disorder." Mitsuko started, "just to keep her a bit more stable, but apparently it doesn't really work."

She flung her backpack over her shoulder and went upstairs without saying anything more.

"What's with her attitude?" Ichigo asked.

"Even if she doesn't remember. It'll always hurt how her parents died and what she'd been through after." I say quietly.

"Miyuki...what happened to her?" Rihito asked softly in an unusual tone.

"...It's not my place to say.... Maybe she'll tell you when she remembers...*if* she ever remembers." I finished firmly. Not allowing any more questions about the topic.

Mitsuko's PoV

Anybody'll think I'm so stupid to just go upstairs and leave them be?

I know Miyuki knows more about my past then I do now. And just now she leaked something out.

Why? What? What happened to my parents? What happened to me? 

I stayed at the top of the staircase, leaning down, I can still hear their conversation, but they won't see me. 

She's right. It's *if* I could ever remember.
