Chapter 1- Peace and Quiet
"Hotaruuuu!!!! It's such a lovely day outside!!! Wanna go to Central Town today, Hotaru?" a certain bouncy brunette greeted as she barged into her best friend's lab.
"I never gave you permission to enter my laboratory so for that intrusion you shall pay me 5000 rabbits," the aforementioned inventor replied without the slightest hint of emotion flitting through her eyes.
"Oh, come on, Hotaru, are you just gonna ruin your entire free day inside?" Mikan pouted.
"You've already ruined my day," Hotaru said, amethyst eyes never leaving her new invention.
Mikan diverted her twinkling hazel eyes to the invention also. "Hey, I know! I'll just help you around, Hotaru! I can be your assistant-"
BAKA-BAKA-BAKA-BAKA
"Out of the room, now," Hotaru threatened, still holding the baka gun.
"Hotaru no baka," Mikan muttered, defeated, as she shuffled out of Hotaru's laboratory.
Maybe I can find someone else to accompany me to Central Town… the nullifier thought, humming and skipping.
Unconsciously, her feet led her to a particular Sakura tree in the school grounds. As she neared her destination, her eyes automatically searched for someone.
"Ohayo, Natsume! Want to go to Central Town with me?" Mikan greeted upon locating one of her friends, the fire-caster, Hyuuga Natsume.
His crimson eyes never left the manga he was reading and took no notice that Mikan was there.
"Natsume, can I sit beside you?" the brunette tried again for a reply.
"Hn."
"Hmph. You haven't changed at all since I met you three years ago, Natsume. But anyways, thank you." She was about to sit down beside him when a sudden gust of wind blew her skirt up.
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! her mind screamed.
"And you haven't changed your underwear since I met you, polka," Natsume commented, a smirk forming in his lips.
"NATSUME YOU HENTAI!!! YOU'RE SUCH A PERVERTED FREAK!!!" Mikan yelled, turning to various shades of red.
But the fire-caster had returned his attention to his manga once more. The brunette sat herself beside him grumpily. A few moments passed by them in silence.
Silence.
Silence.
All this silence made Natsume feel worried for Mikan. He knew for a fact that someone such as the motor mouth beside him can never keep quiet even for a span of five seconds. But Natsume, being Natsume, fought the worry that had formed in his chest. But to his utter surprise, the motor mouth he was referring to leaned heavily against him.
"Hey, baka, get off, you're too heavy," he told her. He glanced at the brunette beside him.
Tsk… the baka fell asleep… he thought as he closed his manga and shifted gently so as not to wake her up. His scarlet eyes softened as he gazed at the brunette sleeping soundly on his shoulder.
She can be so angelic when she's asleep, he found himself thinkingHe lifted a hand and lightly touched her face. His fingers roved through her satiny cheek and tucked a lock of silky stray hair behind her ear.
Seconds passed then turned into minutes as he took in every detail about her, from her beautiful face to her curved figure, wondering how on earth a loudmouth like her can change his life so drastically.
"Mikan," he breathed into her ear, "I really-" when he suddenly stopped, eyes narrowing, body stiffening. He sensed the presence of the person he least wanted to see, especially when he was with Mikan.
"My, my, isn't this such a lovely scene," a voice said from the shadows, confirming that they were not alone.
"Persona," Natsume glared at the black-clad newcomer while easing Mikan gently off his shoulder.
"So, it seems that the Makuoka has captivated the unreachable Kuro Neko," Persona taunted.
"Leave her out of this and get down to business," Natsume said, standing up and facing the teacher, blocking the still sleeping Mikan from view.
"Ah, but you see, Natsume, I can't. This mission depends greatly on the Makuoka's help,"
