Taken Away (Gakuen Alice)

8.) Ice queen frozen

Natsume POV

I knew someone was watching us all along. Seems like they have something to say. I called out to the person to see it was no other then Hotaru. Her eyes were filled with a deep sorrow and regret that I never saw from the emotionless ice queen.

"I-I didn't know..that the baka would do something that stupid." Hotaru claimed walking closer to us. She stroked Mikan's hair and looked at her like she pitied her. Maybe she didn't forget her at all. I stared at her and opened my mouth

"Did you actually forget about her?" There was silence before she opened her mouth but closed it quickly. She shook her head and looked down hestitating rather she should tell me or not.

"I did it for only one reason." She looked up at the sky "I don't want her to hate me."

"That's a dumb reason.' I claimed owning a glare from her. Her glare would of scared anyone else but not me, I knew it was all an act to get people distant from her. "Your now telling me that she doesn't hate you.' I tried to control my anger that was boiling inside me. "Why do you think she was cutting herself? Why do you think she slapped you and cried? Your now telling me that she doesn't hate you."

Hotaru smiled and sat on the grass facing me. "She would hate me more if she was there." I was confused by what she meant by there, was she hiding something from Polka dots?

"Then why are you here?" I asked her, if she didn't want Polka dots to notice her, why would she bother to come here. She can't hide her feelings that she cares for Polka dots. She wants to help her but something is stopping her.

"To check on her, I had a feeling that she would do something stupid."

"Then why not talk to her? Why didn't you help her when she was cutting herself."

"Just as I said, I don't want her to hate me.' Hotaru claimed dusting herself before turning around. "Its better if she doesn't get close to me." I stared at her back trying to find some hint of feeling but what I saw was a small drop slide down her face. Was she crying?

"Please don't cry Hotaru, I don't hate you." Polka dots claimed opening her eyes making Hotaru flinched. "In fact, I love you."
