Natsume always wondered-when Koko wasn't around, of course- how his life had turned out like this. As he stared at the girl sleeping next to him, he marveled at how light and happy he felt.
"You're gettin' soft, Natsume!"
The Black Cat whirled around, growling at the snickering boy behind him. Koko. I'm going to burn your ass.
Koko ran away, laughing. Moron.
Natsume lay down again. But really, on that normal day, she had burst in the room, full of smiles and hopes and dreams. Oh, she had matured; Alice Academy had a habit to do that to people. But she had refused to lose everything, and had made new aspirations instead.
Anyway, Natsume still remembered the days when she wore strawberry-patterned underwear.
But the mystery the genius Hyuuga Natsume had yet to figure out was how he fallen in love with Mikan Sakura.
She wasn't the prettiest, for sure.
She definitely the smartest, either.
Mikan wasn't any of those, but it was all right.
Because Natsume loved Mikan, and that was all that mattered.
