BAD ANGEL (Kaede X Maki)

3. Confession or is it?

I feel so embarrassed about what I replied at Maki's joke. I will never forget that. Anyway, being in Maki's back makes me feel weird. The last time someone carried me was a year ago. Shuichi and I were chasing each other on the road because I called him "stupid".  And then I accidentally tripped, so I got wounded and I had a hard time walking. Shuichi carried me knowing that I was having a hard time catching up to him. It was a long time ago, a very long time ago..... And honestly, I miss those memories. 

I was very impressed with how strong Maki was. She wasn't even panting. Maybe she was trained to be like this strong because she was the Ultimate Child Caregiver, you know, kids these days are very importunate. But, something in me makes me uncomfortable with Maki. I set aside those thoughts and focused on where she is taking me. Maki had brought me to the school's clinic. When we entered the clinic, we saw a lady who has a purple choppy hair, her back turned to us. Maki broke the silence...

"Good Morning, are you the nurse?". The nurse turned and we saw her face clearly.  

"Mikan~Chan... Can you please take care of Kaede? I still have a class. Please." Mikan~Chan??? Why does she call Mikan Tsumiki, Mikan~Chan? Why not call me Kaede~Chan, Maki?! I mean, lets us proceed to what I was talking about (*cough**cough*). 

"Oh, i-it's you Maki~Chan! S-sure w-why not?! Hehehe! P-put her t-there. A-and then I will take care of h-her. P-promise M-MAKI~CHAN!!" Now, SHE CALLED MAKI, MAKI-CHAN!?!?!?! No Kaede, it is alright. Why should you even care about it? Do you have feelings for Maki?

NO, I DON'T LIKE MAKI.....

Maki lay me down to the nearest bed. She lay me down slowly because I can still feel the pain. After she lay me down, Maki squeezed my right hand. It was so tight. It was like she was so angry at what just happened. I have a bad feeling about this. My heart was beating so fast. I was shaking so hard. Maki noticed me but, she set those aside. Instead, she talked to me. 

"Kaede, never go there again. So, just stay here until your sprain heals. I would be visiting you, don't worry. And don't do anything stupid, like what you did earlier. Don't you use your brain?" Before I can even react on her "Don't you use your brain?" comment, she continued talking again. 

"And why are you even there young lady? Don't you think about the consequences you'll get when you go there, do you?" Her red eyes were glaring at me with great... I can't actually identify the feeling, haha. She was waiting for an answer. Explanations. One of my greatest fear. 

" I was looking for Himiko with Tenko. We did not notice where we are. I rested for a moment but, Tenko told me to rest and she will continue looking for Himiko. And then Nagit-" The bell rang again, it was already time for the next class. Maki sighed with disappointment. She let go of her hand and then when I thought she would be going out already, she lowered her head and kissed me in the forehead. It was for a long time. And then she put her head up again.  She stared at me. And mumbled something. 

"What?" I said curiously..

"I said... Kaede, I lik-" She stopped for a while and then continued what she was saying.

"like yo-" Someone interrupted. It was Himiko. Thank you, good Lord, Himiko is not lost or anything. She was with Tenko. The two was panting heavily. Obviously, they were running. 

"Oh. Hi, you two love birds, I MEAN, two gals. Time for class. Did I disturb anythi- Wait. KAEDE?!?! What you doin' here, eh?!" Tenko was so shocked. She even shouted those words and for sure it could be heard until the field.    

"Long story, I'll tell you later. Anyway, go now. And Maki, just tell it to me later, okay?"

"No need Kaede. It is not important. Bye." She went straight to the exit. The two girls waved goodbye. What was Maki saying? I have a feeling it is important. 

So, I was left alone in the clinic. Silence. It filled the whole room. It was dark. So dark. 

"H-Hi, Kaede. H-How are y-you?" Mikan was talking to me. 

"I am fine Mikan" That was all I said, how weird. I was the most talkative in our class. How weird. 

"Ummm, I-I have a-a question, m-may-you answer i-it?" She was blushing. I simply nodded. 

"D-do you h-have feelings f-for my s-sister?" Sister? Who sister?

"Who is your sister? Maki?" I will be very shocked if it was Maki. She simply nodded (too). 

Do I have feelings for Maki? My heart beats fast whenever she is there. I tend to get jealous when she is so close with girl/boys. Whenever she holds me, it makes me tremble. I want her to be mine. Just mine. Now, I know the answer.

"Mikan, I want to tell this. It has been inside me. I have to let go of it. Maki, she is a great friend. She is loyal. Many fall for her. Knowing this, now I have a answer to your question. Mikan, I like your sister. "
