Flashback (seven years ago)
It was a rainy afternoon and classes are over. Almost everyone is in their houses right now except Sakura Mikan (9 yrs old). She is standing there for almost half an hour right now but not a single sign of her mother appeared. As a kid the first thought that came into her mind is to cry and maybe her mom will suddenly show up... who knows. Her eyes began to, well almost began to cry when someone tap her little shoulder.
'Oi. You must be Sakura Mikan, right?' a young lad suddenly appears.
'uhm. yeah, and you must be?' she replied.
'Natsume... Hyuuga Natsume.' He said and offers his hand for a handshake.
'oh. Nice to meet you, Hyuuga-san. Can I help you?' she said politely.
'well, I'm here to walk you home.' Natsume answered plainly.
'and... why would you do that?' Mikan asked.
'.sighs. Well you see... our moms work in the same office and Mrs. Sakura asked me to walk you home because of her appointments.' He answered back.
'which means?' she asked again innocently.
'meaning she can't go here and fetch you. Now... will you just move it... it's getting late and I really wanna go home.' He answered back being irritated of the girl's questions.
Mikan didn't replied, she just stared at him blankly. Natsume being irritated with her actions grab her hand and hold the umbrella with his free hand. No one wants to start a conversation in the way. Well maybe until they reached Mikan's place.
"thank you, Hyuuga-san." She said with all respect.
But he just give her a 'Hn' as a reply and walk his way home. 'Geez. What an attitude?' she thought for a sec and went inside.
The next day, during their lunch break, Sachi one of her best buds invited her for lunch. But she refused thinking of all her reports that afternoon. She spend her time in the room writhing these and that and finally get up to look for the teacher.
While walking through the hallway she meet someone familiar.
'Hyuuga-san? From yesterday right?' she asked with a smile.
'huh? Oh.. the naïve girl..' he answered in a teasing way.
'hey! I'm not naïve!' she answered back with a pout.
'Anyway, I never know you study here.' She continued.
'Hn. I just stay inside the room most of the time.' He replied coldly.
'I see... uhm. Hyuuga-san..' she said blushing a little.
'Will you stop calling me hyuuga-san...' he said coldly.
'uh. S-sorry... ' she said bowing her head.
'Natsume-kun..' he said looking the other way to avoid her stare.
'huh?' she asked in confusion.
'call me... natsume-kun..' he mumbled under his breath but enough for her to hear. He then walk away, blushing a bit for his own statements.
Mikan blushed too but regain her composure, back to her bubbly self. She then wave to Natsume and shouted, 'Ok! Nice to meet you again Hyuuga- I mean Natsume-kun!'
Natsume stop his tracks and look at her direction. His bangs cover her handsome face then open his mouth to say something but Mikan said, 'hey! Can we be friends?'
He smirk and said 'whatever' then walk away again. 'I was about to say the same thing.' He thought.
After class they walk home together. From then on they become closer and closer to each other as day pass by. They do all things together-eating lunch, chatting(even though Mikan is always the one who is talking)...everything.
But one day everything change... Natsume starts to avoid her in all ways possible. Mikan in the other hand felt sad and worried for her bestfriend's actions. She can't stand it anymore and decided to confront him personally. She found him in the park one afternoon.
'natsume-kun...what's the problem?' she asked trying her best not to cry.
'nothing' he answered plainly.
'What do you mean?! You are avoiding me for the past whole week!' she shouted with tears running through her rosy cheeks. He then hug her thightly as if not wanting her to go.
'S-sorry...' she heard him whisper.
'Natsume...what's the matter?' she asked now more gentle.
He broke the hug then started to explain, 'I'm leaving... next week... we will go to the states.'
'You're kidding right?' she said hoping he's just joking.
'I wish I was...' he said with eyes full of sadness.
'b-but... why are you ignoring me?' she asked.
'because if I don't... I might have a hard time leaving you...if I ignore you...maybe...it will not be that hard anymore...' he said.
'you...you're INSANE!!' she shouted with tears forming in the corner of her eyes.
'do you think it will be that easy for me to forget you?!... you are my bestfriend, for pete's sake!' she continued and made Natsume shock.
'mikan...' he said softly with a warm smile in his face.
'and.. even we are far away from each other... we will be friends right?' she asked.
He smiled and said, 'of course, baka.' Mikan is about to complain but then Natsume hugged her again and whisper to her ear, 'I'm gonna miss you..' and Mikan replied, 'me too..'
The day before Natsume will leave; he gave her a gift and told her to open it when she got home. So there he goes walking leaving her bestfriend. He force himself to don't show any kind of sadness and so is she. One last glimpse of Natsume, she whispered, 'I'll be waiting... Natsume-kun..'
When she got home she opened the gift and found a hair pin in a shape of Sakura petals and is shining because of the diamond surrounding it. Then a small note fell from the box.
It says- to Mikan.. pls take care of this... and I promise... one day... I'll come back to you... and don't cry too much, it will make you ugly... but for me... you are the most beautiful idiot I ever met... well that makes me an idiot too...take care..i miss you..natsume.-
'natsume... you baka.' She said soflty while her lips forming into a smile.
In her heart she knows that Natsume will keep his promise. And until that day comes, she will wait for him no matter what.
