My Mysterious Enigma

Korbin: Wow.... I've only had this story up for a few days and already I have so many people adding me to their alert list. Makes me very proud of my story and I'm glad you guys are enjoying this so far. Though for as proud as I am of that I can't help, but feel a little worried with such little reviews. Its okay though. The story is already making better progress than I imagined, so I'm not really upset. Anyway answers to my reviewers will be at the bottom. Thank you and onto the story.

Warnings and Disclaimer: Both of these still hold true and they're not going to change. Unless I plan to do something whacky, but then I'll give you guys a heads up for that.

Korbin: Also... I realize that in the first chapter I had put an End Flashback... Well..... that wasn't supposed to come until later.... Actually we're still in the flashback.... ^ ^;;;;;; Umm.... I did fix it though, so if anyone is confused... I'm sorry.

My Mysterious Enigma

----Chapter One----

"Argh..." A soft voice grumbled as the figure in the dark tried to roll over only to find multiple arms holding him down.

Lifting his head slowly as to not make his head spin anymore than the headache would allow of him. Blinking big, ruby eyes open Mikoto began to slowly register that he, along with Tooru and Yuujiro, were laying on a large make shift bed on the floor of his room. Both of his friends were asleep on either side of him, long arms sprawled across the covers as well as wrapped around his waist.

Bringing a pale hand up to rub as the sleep still clinging to thick eyelashes Mikoto tried to remember what had awoken him. Low whispering voices outside of his door alerted him that someone was just standing outside his door. Crawling slowly the redhead made for the door only for the whispers to stop and heavy footsteps could be heard leading away from the P-room. Not noticing it was only one set, Mikoto was startled when the door suddenly opened in front of him. Barely managing to miss him from his close proximity to the wood.

'I thought I had the door locked!' Mikoto screamed to himself. Carefully the dark figure illuminated by the lights of the hall, stepped though. Instantly he was able to recognize the swatch of green hair and calmed with a deep sigh.

"Oh! Mikoto-kun," Akira exclaimed with a bright smile. "Its great to see that you're awake and doing much better." Turning away from the owner of the room, Mikoto finally noticed that he was holding a tray with various food items arranged on this silver. Setting it down gently on the desk in the room, Akira moved to sit in the desk chair already pulled out and resting next to the door.

"You were watching over us?" Mikoto said more as a question rather than a statement. Astonishment very clear in voice. Again with another bright smile the green haired tenn nodded his head and cast his eyes to run over the sleeping figure of Tooru.

"I don't see why you haven't asked him out yet." Mikoto huffed as he sat back against the wood of his bunkbed. He's body felt drained of its energy, but he couldn't very well continue crying every few seconds. No matter how much he wanted to. He needed to look strong, even more so now that his friends had seen him at his worst.

A little startled by the question, Akira turned his wide emerald eyes to stare at red. Slowly understanding dawned in his eyes and Mikoto truned away in false anger at the gentle look he was being given.

"Mikoto," The teen let his name hang in the air. So softly was it spoken that the owner of the name felt as though he had been caressed instead of spoken to. "You do not need to pretend to be something you're not. We're your friends and we want to help in whatever way we can."

Seeing that the redhead wasn't going to give up on his stubborn attitude anytime soon Akira shrugged his shoulders. He'll let the male take his time to explain what made him so upset. "Now as for my asking Tooru out... Well, it's a little hard to do when either Yuujiro or his fan club are always around him." He laughed.

A soft groan alerted the two in the room that the others were waking up. Yawning loudly, Yuujiro began to turn to lay on his back. Pale limbs stretched out around him as he tried to wake up, only for one of his fist to accidently knock a still asleep Tooru on the side of the head. Giving out an angry grunt Tooru shoved the hand out of his face before turning away. Seconds later the blue haired teen sat up to give the blonde a glare.

"Sorry." Yuujiro laughed as he too sat up. Looking around the blonde noticed both Akira and Mikoto were awake. "Miko-chan!" He fake squealed before launching himself at the redhead to squeeze the life out of him.

"Gah! Yuu-YUUJIRO! Get off me!" He screamed tried to pry surprisingly strong arms off his waist with no success. Laughter rang out from the others as they watched the two wrestle around a bit before the taller one decided he had humiliated his friend enough as it is.

"Alright, you two! As much fun as it is to watch you bond, I've brought everyone dinner." The green haired one smiled.

"Aww, Akira. You're so sweet. Always looking out for us!" Tooru beamed before going over to investigate what sort of food was brought to them. He didn't; however, see the bright blush that covered his friends face. Gold and red eyes watched both closely as Tooru engaged him in the lastest news around the campus while they were sleeping.

"He's so in love." Yuujiro simply stated. "Isn't it great Mikoto?"

"Y-yeah..." The redhead mumbled. Bowing his head in memory of his own lost love. "Terrific."

Blinking down at the one still slung under his arm, Yuujiro finally pieced together the few facts he was sure of. It still left him quite a gap, but with the way the shorter teen was acting it wasn't hard to figure out what exactly happened. It was only a matter of whether or not he'll be able to get over it.

"Are you guys going to eat?" Tooru called over to the two.

"Yeah, yeah. We'll eventually crawl over there, just don't eat our food too Mrs. Piggy." The blonde teased as he remained next to his friend on the floor. "That is after Miko-chan explains what had him so upset for the last few days."

"Yeah, Mikoto. What happened? I've never seen you so sad before." Tooru spoke up, the green haired teen beside him nodding in hurried agreement.

"You guys aren't going to leave me alone unless I do, are you?" Mikoto sighed as he stared up at the ceiling.

"Nope," Was the simply answer that everyone seemed to say, yet no one spoke it.

"I... Megumi... I saw her with another man." He said simply after stumbling over the best way to answer. Gasp rang out amongst the group as the stared at the redhead in shock, but no one dared say anything. Letting the redhead talk as much as he could for now. Questions could wait until after.

"I called Makoto earlier that day to ask if she knew where Megumi was. I had already tried calling her house, but no one answered. Makoto finally told me she was going to the new arcade that had just opened up and I thought it would be a great chance to surprise her... I had a little trouble finding the place since I wasn't used to the area, but it wasn't really far. I went inside to try and find her, I wasn't having much luck so I went to leave, and saw her. She was standing next to the door kissing some taller guy that I've never seen. I couldn't think straight after that... Everything was a blur. I can't remember anything, but feeling empty. The rest you guys all know."

Silence hang between the four after the last word was spoken. How could this happen to their friend? Mikoto was so in love with Megumi... How could she just throw his feelings away for another man?

"That bitch!" Yuujiro suddenly said breaking the heavy silence that had threaten to cruch eveyrone.

"Don't call her that!" Mikoto yelled at the blonde.

"Why not? She cheated on you with another man knowing how much you love her! How does that not make her a bitch?" The taller of the four was practically fuming.

"Maybe she's not? Maybe she's just... going out with a friend or a cousin... or..." Tooru tried to help.

"Tooru's right. Megumi may not really be cheating... It could all just be a misunderstanding. Maybe if you tried talking with her, you'll find there's nothing to fear." Akira said. Always the voice of reason.

"Fine! Call her now... and put it on speaker!" Yuujiro growled throwing the redhead his newly aquired cell.

"What? I-I-I can't! What if its true? I don't... I can't..." Mikoto mumbled staring down at the phone in defeat.

"The only way you'll ever know is if you ask her. If she is then you guys need to break it off, if not... Then there's no harm done."

Sighing in defeat, Mikoto slowly dialed in the digits he had memorized by heart in just a few days time. After the last number had been punched in, the redhead hesitated on pressing the send button. All his hopes and fears rested in the press of a button. How cliche... It was both sad and scary. His finger moved before he could think on the act and before he was ready for it to happen, he had clicked the ominous send button.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Everyone's hearts beat loudly in sequence to the ringing that was ringing out loud to all of them. All of them fearing as much as the redhead holding the phone before him.

Ring. Ring. Ri--

"Moshi Moshi?" A feminine voice said and Mikoto felt his heart both warm and stop at the sound.
