Chapter 1- Their Story, Their Night, Their Last PART 1

*_(-0-)_*

Don't build castles in the air, they would always just get blown away.

*_(-0-)_*

A brunette leaned beside a certain Sakura tree. It's almost Autumn. The Sakura petals danced around her as the wind blew them.

'It had been three years since I've said yes to him, the same time, the same day, the same tree' Mikan Sakura thought as she closed her hazel eyes and feel the air touched her porcelain skin.

"Boo"

"Kya!!! Natsume!" the brunette yelled then spanked our fire-caster on the head.

"Hey! What was that for?" Natsume complained as he rubbed the part where Mikan spanked.

"What are you doing here, Polka?"

"Nothing" Mikan said. 'so he doesn't remember huh?'

"Hn" Natsume lied down on the grass beside her and read his favorite manga.

A vein popped on Mikan's forehead. 'if this jerk can't remember, I'll make sure he'll▬'

Mikan closed her eyes again to calm herself. But suddenly a quick movement shook her on her own thoughts.

'My neck, someone's touching it!' She opened her eyes to say some words of wisdom to the said intruder … but then a warm breath touched her skin.

"Natsume, what are you doing?" Mikan asked, curious.

"Baka, quit moving"

Mikan steadied herself.

"There" he muttered. The brunette looked down saw it what it was.

"Happy Anniversary, Polka" Natsume greeted nonchalantly.

Typical Natsume.

"Natsume, quit calling me that, I'm not a lttle girl anymore!!" Mikan retorted then pouted, which Natsume found as cute.

"And Thank you for this necklace, it's so beautiful" she said as she held the necklace in her hands.

A half-hearted necklace.

A silver necklace cut in half, in the middle is where a red gem was placed which was cut in half because of the said design.

"Did you wear the other one?" she asked, still in daze of the necklace.

"Of course, baka" Natsume sneered then pulled it out of his polo(their uniform) and showed it to her.

"Hmp, anyway, thanks for the gift, really, it really is beautiful" Mikan said with a smile to Natsume,who was blushing.

"Why should I choose an ugly one?" Natsume said as he started to read again his manga.

Mikan just rolled her eyes. "Jerk…"

▬silence▬

"Polka, I'll be at your dorm at 7 pm, don't be late"

'what?" Mikan was confused.

"Huh?"

"The Grand Ball, remember now?" Natsume answered irritably.

"Ah, yeah, I forgot… sorry, don't worry I'll be there, hehehe" Mikan said and smiled sheepishly.

"Hn"

"I better go now, Hotaru might get angry if I showed up on her door late" Mikan said then gave Natsume a peck on the cheek.

"Bye"

Natsume was shocked, pink color climb their way up to his cheeks, especially where Mikan left a kiss.

*_(-0-)_*

"Hotaru" Mikan knocked on Hotaru's door.

"Come in" came the response. Mikan opened the door and stepped inside.

"hey, you ready, Hotaru?" Mikan asked as she glided with her white/pink knee-length dress, with Sakura petals like flowers adorned her dress, and she wore white high-heeled sandals, her hair down, silky and long.

Hotaru looked at her.

"Hmm, 'm ready, you look cute… for a baka"

Mikan pouted. "You're such a meanie!!"

"I would like to take a picture of you, Hotaru!!" Mikan said with sparkles on her eyes. Hotaru wear a violet-strapped dress that reached her knees paired with a violet sandal.

"Shut up or you'll face a shot with my upgraded baka gun"

Mikan can only sweatdrop.

"Let's go, or we might get late, oh before I forgot, who's your partner this year?" Mikan asked the infamous inventor.

"it's Yuu"

"Ah, I see"

"Let's go down, I can imagine a certain fireboy enraged by now" Hotaru said monotonously.

Mikan sweatdropped then smiled. "Hai"

*_(-0-)_*

Natsume waited outside the girl's dorm.

"Polka, she never grow up" he mumbled under his breath.

Then the door opened revealing the two girls. Mikan and Hotaru.

"Tch. Let's go" Natsume said as he turned around.

"Hotaru, come with us" Mikan offered to her best friend.

"I don't like" she said coldly then pulled her duck scooter pushed something then off she went with her invention towards the ball.

*_(-0-)_*

The ball was richly decorated with balloons, ribbons, and flowers, and don't forget foods and music.

A lot of couples were now dancing at the dance floor with a love song as their background piece.

"Ruka-pyon! Konbanwa!!" Mikan greeted her other bestfriend, Ruka Nogi.

"Same to you, Mikan-chan, Natsume" the blonde boy greeted back.

"Ruka" Natsume said and nodded to him.

"Hey, Ruka-pyon, who's your partner? Or better yet where your partner is the question for you?" Mikan asked the blonde boy.

"Mikan, em..ano.. I don't have a partner for tonight" he muttered as he blush, though he can't help the fact that he felt disappointment at that time.

"What?! I don't believe you" she blurted out with her hazel eyes widening.

". . ." he gave Natsume a help-me-out look.

Natsume understood him and grabbed Mikan's arm, "Baka, they're offering Fluff Puffs" he said while pointing at the buffet table.

With the word 'Fluff Puffs' made contact with her ear, which perked up, she immediately turned her attention towards the buffet table, "See you later, Ruka-pyon!!" she yelled as she directly went to the table.

"Thanks" Ruka said to Natsume as the brunette ran away, a smile grazing his lips.

"No problem"

Ruka smiled, his best-friend will never change, but he knows he's warm inside aside for having his stoic face, "You should go to her right now, she might act reckless now, knowing they aren't offering Fluff Puffs here"

*_(-0-)_*

Okay, let's get to the Dance Part!!!

A melody came through the atmosphere…

Take my hand


Take a breath

Natsume stood up and faced Mikan. "Can I have this dance?"

Mikan smiled sweetly to her boyfriend, "Of course, Natsume".

They went to the dance floor along with the other students. Natsume held her in her waist while Mikan's hands cling to the fire-caster's back neck.

He pulled her close…

Pull me close


And take one step


Keep your eyes


Locked on mine


And let the music be your guide.

"I didn't know you could dance well, hmm, Natsume?" she asked.

"Hn"

Won't you promise me (Now won't you promise me)


That you'll never forget (We'll keep dancing)


To keep dancing


Wherever we go next

"I want you to be mine forever" he whispered to her as he stared at her hazel eyes.

"Is that you Natsume?" Mikan teased.

A vein popped on his head.

It's like catching lightning


The chances of finding someone


Like you


It's one in a million

"Forever"

"Forever?" Natsume smirked as he asked her assurance.

And with every step together


We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)


Can I have this dance?

"I'm forever with you, my Black Cat"

Take my hand


I'll take the lead


And every turn


Will be safe with me

"As long as you are always safe"

"Promise me that you'll never get any missions from Persona, you don't have to, Aoi's fine with your dad" Mikan said hopefully.

No mountain's too high enough


Oceans too wide


Cause together or not


Our dance won't stop

He smiled. Just a little smile. A smile only meant for her. And Mikan took this as his final answer, releasing all of her doubts out of her heart with his warm smile and hug.

The chances of feeling the way

And with every step together

"Nothing can set us apart"

"Even our own selves"

*_(-0-)_*

They just don't know what lies beneath lingers in their fate. So what would happen to their love if the plan has to go pursuing the protection for the school? Will fate stand with the two lovers?
