Shin Ookami: Prologue
Two figures sat under a cherry blossom tree a raven haired boy and the other a chestnut haired girl. A calming silence engulfing the two enjoying each other's company. Others say that they were complete opposites and it was strange how they got along with each other, but then again, in their school nothing is what it seems.
"Hey polka?" the raven haired boy started breaking the silence
"What is it Natsume?" the chestnut haired girl answered
"Never mind…" Natsume,13, trailed off
And once again there was a silence between the two.
"Polka… I still love you…" Natsume said quietly hoping that she didn't hear but also hoping that she would.
Mikan,13, was dumbstruck at what Natsume had just said. She didn't know what to say, she knew that Natsume and Yumi were together, actually, everyone knew that. But the truth was that Natsume had fallen for Mikan first and Yumi was just a rebound. What happened? Well Mikan finally got serious with her academics and so. Unfortunately, she was too serious; to the point that she wouldn't even allow the person she loved the most to court her.
And so, a month after Natsume's attempt to court her, he found a rebound and got together with her, the girl being the said Manoshi Yumi.
Mikan thought that Yumi would be perfect for Natsume; she thought that they were perfect for each other. But the rest preferred Mikan and Natsume together, but never spoke out about it.
"But aren't you and Yumi still together?" Mikan spoke monotonously her heart and mind racing.
"I broke up with her." Natsume bluntly said
"Oh…" was the only thing Mikan could say
There was a long moment of silence. Tension could be felt between the two.
"Please… believe me… I've thought about it long and hard. I'm not happy with her. I was happier with you… even though we weren't together and were just friends. I was happy just being with you… even though it hurt."
"Natsume… I'm not sure… I… I'm scared of what might happen when her 'friends' found out that we got together right after you broke up with her. Please, not now… I… I'm just…" Lost for words, Mikan paused to stop and think
"Please give me time to think…"
Silence… the raven and the finch (1) looked at opposite directions, refusing to look at the other.
"Mikan… I…"
"Please Natsume… don't confuse my heart… I still love you… I do… but… Natsume, just give me time…"
"Please Mikan… I'm willing to wait… willing to protect you from them… but please, just tell me yes."
"I…"
Mikan was cut off by Natsume suddenly pinning her to the ground his arms and legs at her sides.
"Natsu…!"
She suddenly felt his lips on hers. Not knowing how to react, she stayed still.
After what seemed like an hour to Mikan, Natsume finally lifted his head. Ruby met amber.
"Uhm… Can you get off me now?" Mikan started
"…"
"Natsume?"
"Please say yes…"
"Natsume, I have no idea why you just did that… but for whatever it was for it worked… a bit…"
With this Natsume's eyes lit up.
"But before I officially say it… I want you to promise me this… No one will find out that we are together. Well not at least after a month and a half of your break up day with her."
"That's it?" Natsume finally said.
"Yes, now get off me!"
He did get off, but what he did was roll to the side and pulled her closer to him, letting her head rest on his chest.
"Sigh, you just don't change."
"I love you too."
Mikan smiled and kissed him on the cheek snuggling closer to Natsume.
