Natsume looked at his best friend with sad eyes.
"Yes its true"
"But..." Ruka said
"No buts… I do not have any choice in the matter. I only have this one last chance and I will use it even though I know I will be rejected."
"I'll do my best to help you Natsume."
"Thanks Ruka, I'll never forget this."
It was the last day of the Alice Festival and there was going to be a concert in the afternoon before the last dance. It was the students who were performing in the concert and it was under Mr. Narumi's supervision.
He was shocked, to say the least, when THE NATSUME HYUGGA came up to him and said that he was going to perform a surprise item in the concert. He wanted to go last and Mr. Narumi agreed to his wishes.
The Concert
Everyone was having a good time. The concert was rocking and people were really enjoying themselves a lot. A certain 16-year-old brunette was looking slightly worried though.
"Mikan what is wrong with you?" said an irritated Hotaru.
"I am looking for Natsume. I just can't see him anywhere. I wonder where he went."
"Stop worrying about him, idiot. He is more capable than you to take care of him self. Now shut up and let me watch the last performance in peace."
Mikan decided to follow her best friends orders as she could see Hotaru fingering her baka-gun.
"Now for our surprise performance… Everyone put your hands together for Natsume Hyugga"
Everyone in the crowd gasped and then began cheering madly.
Mikan was astounded.
Ruka stood at his best friends side, and wished him luck.
Natsume looked at him and smiled faintly.
"Here goes nothing…"
Natsume stepped on the stage and started to sing. He sang with such passion that people were dumbstruck and all the while he was looking at Mikan.
"I don't know why
I loved u so
You don't know
but its ok
We're not meant to b
it can never b "we"
I love u so
but u don't know
still its ok
coz u don't love me, no"
"Time will passI may fall in love again
but you'll always be
my first
nothing can ever change that
it can only b u
still its ok,
coz u don't love me, no"
"Life will go on
but the luster will go
The smile will b there
but the laughter will go
go with u
However much I love u
you'll never know
for we're not meant to be
it can never be "we"
still its ok
coz u don't love me, no"
"It's a joy while it lasts
a memory when its gone
but I am denied it all
I can't confess
Can't expect u to
but its ok
coz u don't love me, no"
"Some years from nowI may laugh out loud
that I fell in love
and that love was forbidden
I never spoke
was never allowed to
but I cant hold it back no more
so I m speaking at last
but it does not matter
coz u don't love me, no"
"I'll b gone soon
away leaving u free
without any worries
with no regrets
coz I said what was on my mind
it can never be true
for us to be us not 'two'
We're not meant to be
it can never be "we"
still its ok
coz u don't love me, no"
But I'll always love u"
The last line was just a whisper but it carried around the hall for it was silent as a grave. Most people had tears in their eyes because Natsume had sung with his emotions in turmoil and it had showed in the song. Mikan was crying.
"Ruka-pyon where is Natsume?" Mikan asked.
How do I tell her, Ruka wondered
He decided to be blunt.
"Mikan, Natsume is leaving for America. He has to go there because they have developed a medicine to stop his alice from reducing his life span. He is leaving today, in fact right now."
Mikan was shocked and started to run towards Natsume's room when Ruka called after her.
"He will be at the Academy gates by now. And Mikan, that song he sang, it was for you."
Mikan started to run in the direction of the gates.
When she got near them, she saw him getting into a limo. She was too far away to get there before he would leave but her voice would get there, she knew.
I guess it's goodbye for Good. To this academy and to everyone who lives within it's walls, Natsume thought sadly.
"Natsume" she shouted with all her might.
He looked up, his eyes widening in surprise.
Why is she here, he wondered.
He wanted to stop, to wait for her, but Persona pushed him into the car. Mikan saw him being pushed and knew she would never get there in time so she shouted something at him.
He heard her, she was sure because she had seen a smile light up his face as he had left. And she remembered the words he had mouthed to her. They were what she would live for from now on.
Natsume was still smiling during the flight, remembering what his Polka had said to him. I Love You. These words replayed in his mind again and again.
And he knew she would do what he had asked of her. Wait for me.
