Light and Darkness
Chapter1
Darkness
-only love can make your cold heart melt…-
Natsume's POV
Once I opened my eyes all I can see is darkness. Darkness is everywhere. Oh what a beautiful thing. From the day that I was born nobody can understand my feeling but this darkness. Maybe this is my only sanctuary from the cruel world, darkness. But I am tired of this thing! As I stood up a sudden light appeared at the edge of this room. I walk towards it and to my surprise it was like a TV screen. It shows me my past. Aoi?! Is really that my imoutou, Aoi?! Yeah, I really do miss her. She always smiles at me. "Onichan…" "Nani? Aoi are you there?" I said looking back to see if that really is Aoi. As I turned back another screen appeared. Now it shows all the great times I had back home. Then a sudden smile appeared on my face. Wait smile? No, it can't be maybe that is a smirk. Yeah it is a smirk. Then as I looked up again on the screen it was no longer happy times but as I can see, it is the village. The town where I once lived in, it is burning! No, it can't be! I don't want to remember that! My past…it still haunts me until now. This is why I swear not to care for anyone anymore cause if I do and when they are gone, it just hurts me.
I ran away from that past and here I am now, a prisoner of my past and this school. But still why did this darkness followed me until here? Why?! Before I start burning anything here I walk away. (A/N: but there is nothing to burn here except darkness, baka --) As I sat on one corner of this room, I heard someone calling my name. "Natsume…" Mikan?! She was the first to come into my mind. Why her? Why? "Natsume…" there it goes again. To my curiosity I stood up and followed that voice. Then another light shows up. I raised my hands up as if I want to reach or the light but it is getting away. I have nothing to do but to stand there, alone, in the dark. Then suddenly I felt something warm that is wrapping around my waist. "Natsume…" That is what I heard. "Mikan…" I responded from that voice that called my name. I touched the arms that was wrapped around me, then I looked back to see if that really is Mikan. Then as I expected…no one is there.
I woke up from my strange dream. I was in my room. I look outside my window and I saw the moon. It was beautiful, a full moon that shines so brightly up in the sky. Stars are twinkling in the night sky. Beneath that beautiful scene up in the sky, is another beautiful scene down below. The petals from the Sakura tree are falling down on the ground with a rhythm. It is like the wind is conducting music. How foolish! I looked beside me and to my surprise I saw someone lying down the couch. I didn't mind it anymore for I already know who is it. I went to my bathroom and took a bath. That dream is still on my mind. I don't know why but it really is stuck in my head.
I put on my clothes and a jacket. As I am ready to close the door then suddenly I heard someone spoke to me.
"Natsume, it is still too early. Don't tell me you are thinking of that stupid girl."
"Hn." Was all my reply to her.
"So I am correct. Well it is okay just don't you forget what will happen if you disobey me." She replied then a smirk follows.
After that I closed the door and I went to my favorite spot, the Sakura tree.
Normal POV
"Sa-ku-ra Mi-kan…" the girl said as she looks outside the window staring at the girl that is sitting on the Sakura tree then she smirks.
Mikan's POV
Oh! Would you look at the time it is already past 3 am. Wow! I can't believe that I have stayed long in this Sakura tree for 2 hours just to see this (moon, stars, sky). Anyway it's okay cause since I was a child I really want to see this kind of scene. But why is that every time that I need to wake up early for Jin-Jin's class I can't even open my eyes. "BAKA! BAKA!" I said to myself while I hit my head with my fist. Well what can I say I really am a baka. Well then before I start stabbing myself I should stop this. Stabbing myself? Well yeah, why not? Want to know why? Well then…
Let's start first from the day I was born. Well surely I can't think of any problems back then. How about if we start first at the day that I learned that my parents are gone? Yeah my mom is nowhere to be found. My dad? I don't know where he is neither. At least I have an ojisan who takes care of me since I was little. Yeah how great is that? (A/N: sarcasm).
Second of all is none other than Hotaru. As all of you know she is my best friend. I don't even know if having her is a bad luck or a a luck to me. Well yeah she helps me in some other ways. She was the one to tell me that I look ugly when I cry that is why I smile! I don't know but every time that I saw her face I can't help but smile. Maybe because even if she hits me with her baka gun every morning, she is the only one that I can tell my problems to. At times by just a look at my face she can already tell if I was really happy or just faking a smile. On the other hand I hate her blackmailing the most! I remember one time where my skirt was blown by the wind, of course my panty was seen but why did she have to picture it and have to show it to everyone? Mean Hotaru. Then I pouted. I also hate her for letting the money come first than me. I remember one time I ask her who her best friend is and she told me that money is and I am at the bottom of her list! Can you believe that?! I was been replaced by money. And one last thing that I hate about her is that when she has done something good to me, I have to pay her a BIG amount of money or even if I ask just one simple question she already needs my money.
Speaking of questions, I don't know why but every time we fight I feel happy. Every smirk I receive, sure I get mad but deep inside I really feel happy. Every time he teases me with my childish panties, well what do you expect of course I get mad! But on the other hand I am happy that he talks to me and spends time with me, even if he teases me, and not that Luna!
Luna? Luna is just a girl who always clings to Natsume that is! Wait why am I mad at her? I shouldn't be because I am not his girlfriend. Right? sigh but why is that every time I see them together I feel jealous. It is like my heart was been hit by arrows or anything. I hope this stops…
Nani water? Oh I can't believe that just by thinking about these stuffs made me cry. How foolish. I really am childish ne? haha…oh look it is almost 5 in the morning. I look up in the sky to see if there is any stars still hanging in the sky. Yeah, there are! And look at that star. It shines so brightly, that is my star. You know why? Because that star near the moon is a star where I can always wish a dream, a dream that can never be a reality, a dream of fantasy. Wishes that I made upon this star may never be erase. My wishing star…then I closed my eyes and made a wish.
"I wish that this feelings that I have for him may stop. The feeling of happiness every time I am with him. This feeling of jealousy every time I saw him with Luna. This feeling whenever I see his cold eyes staring at me. Every heartbeat that went faster and faster for every step that he made towards me. I wish that I have forgotten everything about him. His attitude, the way he talks, the way he teases me, the way that those cold eyes stares at the sky. Everything! Everything…"
After that wish I made a sudden tear fell upon my cheeks. Then when I opened my eyes I can see scenery of sunrise. This is the first that I have seen this. What a beautiful view. Nothing can ruin this moment!
-Normal POV-
Without he notice, a boy with raven hair was just beneath her, resting under the same shade of the Sakura Tree. Without their notice, that night they have experienced being under the same tree as their beloved, experiencing the same feeling for each other, experiencing watching the same beautiful scene and without their notice, a pair of eyes are watching them through the window steel, Luna.
Morning came…about a minute after the sunrise the brunette was already tired of sitting so he stood up at the branch of the tree and suddenly the branch crack. Mikan expects that she will fall upon a hard land and will have wounds all in her body but then she felt two strong, warm arms that caught her, two arms that embraced her. As soon as she opens her eyes he found two cold eyes staring at her and thus making their eyes met. For a few minutes they stayed like that. The wind suddenly come making her beautiful auburn hair fly down gracefully into the air and to complete the scene, the petals of the Sakura tree are falling down gracefully into the ground. Then a voice appeared behind.
"What a beautiful scene…Gomene…" Luna said walking away.
"Luna chotto matte! I accidentally fell from that branch and Natsume caught me. Right Natsume?" Mikan said with a smile.
"Hn." Was all his reply from all this and put Mikan down.
"Ouch…hey Natsume! You should at least put me down nicely." Mikan shouted at Natsume
"How can I do tat if my arms are already acing because of your heaviness. Polkadot." Natsume replied.
"Well go-me-ne for being heavy and for your…POL-KA-DOT?!"
(A/N: countdown…1……….2……….3)
"NATSUME! BAKA NO HENTAI!!" Mikan said shouting with her fist closed ready to punch Natsume and her face was all red because of anger.
"Gomene…I better go I think tat I am a distraction for you two…" Luna said ready to leave.
"Iie…Luna….gomene….ja" Mikan said as she force a smile.
Mikan ran away with tears in her eyes. "There it goes again…this feeling! I hate it! Baka Mikan!" Mikan thought as she ran away.
Luna on the other hand immediately clings to Natsume. As expected from Luna (a.k.a. The Witch) it is all just an act. As soon s Mikan was out of sight, Natsume removed his arms from her embrace and gave her a death glare before he leaves.
"Oh Natsume, you haven't learned have you?" Luna said with a smirk.
Natsume suddenly made a fire from is ands signaling Luna to stop all her nonsense.
"If I wouldn't do that if I were you or else you know what I can do to your Mikan." Luna continued as she clings again to Natsume's arm. This made Natsume so irritated but he can't do anything.
"Natsume? Luna?" Ruka said as e saw those two walking.
"Ohayou Ruka-chan." Luna said cheerfully.
"Ohayou…Natsume daijoobu?" Ruka asked as he looks at his best friend but with his bangs on his face, it covers his eyes and just nodded.
"Natsume…" Ruka said softly. Obviously he I concerned.
"Ja Ruka." Luna said and still holding Natsume's arm.
Ruka looked back at them. "Sakura-san" said Ruka as soon as they are gone.
"Mikan…" Natsume said softly.
"Natsume…" Mikan aid as she continues to cry on a place where no one can find her.
