PROLOGUE
/ Mikan's Room /
"I really don't want to go, Hotaru!" Mikan was staring at her ceiling. "I don't want to leave you alone…"
"Shut up and pack your things!" the genius inventor snapped. "And stop acting like a 5-year old kid! For Pete's sake you're already 13!" Hotaru yelled.
"Amanatsu, help Mikan to pack her things."
"Yes, Ms. Hotaru," the Mikan-look-a-like robot replied.
"Ne, Hotaru… You really want me to leave?" Mikan asked. A sob came out her mouth.
"This is for your own good," Hotaru sighed.
"You won't be able to forget him or your feelings towards him if you stay here…."
"Demmo-"
"And you yourself already suffered his insults and more. Don't you forget what he did to you. Face it, he doesn't know how to return your feelings for him… He doesn't know how to love… It will always be an unrequited love…"
Mikan shivered when she remembered what happened between her and the black cat. Silence filled the room. Neither of the two girls wanted to talk. After a while Mikan stood up, took a deep breathed and walked towards the door.
"You're right, Hotaru. I guess this is the best thing for me. I'll be able to forget him and who knows I'll find someone else who will love and care for me." Mikan smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
Amanatsu, can you carry my luggage to the van?" Mikan whispered. The robot nodded in reply. "Hotaru, wait for me at the lobby. There's something I've got to do before I leave…"
The raven-haired girl just nodded. She knew what's on her bestfriend's mind.
"She's probably going there to meet him and clear things out…"

/ At the Sakura Tree /
Hesitation could be seen at the brunette girl's auburn eyes as she approached the place. And as expected, there he was… sitting under the sakura tree with manga on his handsome face…
She stopped and looked at the boy with longing. She had that ache to touch him… or even hug him a bit before leaving the academy.
"What do you want, little girl?" the raven-haired boy suddenly spoke while his manga was still on his face.
"H-how did you know that I'm here?' Mikan asked a bit shocked.
I can always feel you and it's driving me nuts! He yelled on his mind. "The wind blows differently everytime an idiot is around," he blankly said instead.
"Is that so?" said Mikan, her bangs covering her face.
"…"
"Well… Aren't you gonna say sorry for what you've done?"
"Why should I say sorry to an idiot like you? Besides, you deserve it."
"Is that all I am to you, Natsume? An idiot?" Mikan's voice quivered for trying not to cry. Natsume noticed it but did not utter a word.
"Well, this idiot is going to Spain now so rest assured that no Mikan will disturb you from now on…" she spoke in low voice.
"Good riddance…" Natsume replied in a cold tone ignoring the unfamiliar pain he's feeling at that time. So she's leaving… Damn it! Why do I feel hurt when she said that? What's wrong with me?
"I could hate you for what you've done. But I can't," Mikan spoke slowly. "Coz I love you so much... Leaving the last words to herself.
"Hate me then. I don't care…" the flame caster snorted then felt like kicking himself. Damn! Why did I say that? You stupid Natsume! Just say sorry!
"Well then… Sayonara, Natsume…"
The ruby-eyed boy watched Mikan left… He's never going to see that idiot for a long time… But why did he felt empty all of a sudden?
He wanted to stop her... Beg her to stay... But for what reason? After what he had done to her? Will she forgive him?
This can't be happening to me… No way… Mikan… His throat constricted with unshed tears.
