Chapter 1: Should I Go or Not?

Natsume's POV

I was just sitting at my no wait scratch that OUR favorite Sakura tree. This used to be my own secret place but I guess it is no longer just for me because that polka-dotted panties girl is always hanging out with me right here under the Sakura tree. But I don't really mind because I love her. She is so pure and innocent that I cant let her get too close to me because I am shrouded in the darkness and I don't want to taint those delicate hands of her's. I want to push her away, but she always finds her way back to me. I never wanted to fall in love with her, but somehow she reached my heart. She melted my heart and made me feel real emotions again. She broke down the walls that I had built without even knowing it she made me fall for her. Now all I can do is protect her and hope that I can live long enough to bring her out of the academy and make her happy.

"Ohayo Natsume…" I heard someone say to me. I looked up to see Polka(Mikan). She looked so sad and depressed but she still held a smile, a smile that I hated to see.

"What do you want Polka?" I said to her in annoyance but on the inside I was really concerned but I didn't show it.

"Hey Natsume can I ask you a couple of questions?" she asked but it was more like a statement.

"Sure" I said as I just shrugged as I continued to read my manga but wasn't really paying attention to it all my attention was devoted to her.

"Natsume…" she said and hesitated a bit. "What would you do if I left the academy?" she finally asked. 'Why would she ask me this question?' I thought 'oh I hope that this is just a random question!' I thought to myself.

"I wouldn't give a fuck" I said but I was lying I would be a wreck if she left me and the academy.

"Really? You wouldn't care a bit if I left? So what would you do if I left tomorrow?" she asked me in a sad and sorrowful tone and it broke my heart but I just kept my uncaring and stoic faqade up.

"I would help you pack and open the door for you, I wouldn't care I would actually be happy." I said but what happened next really surprised me and made me regret saying it at all. She was on the verge of tears. SLAP! She had slapped me across the face.

"Fine if that is what you really wish for GOODBYE NATSUME or should I say GOODBYE HYUUGA!" she screamed at me with tears coming down from her eyes. Then she just ran away without another word. I felt a huge tug on my heart. I wanted to chase after her but I didn't because I wasn't sure that me just going to her would fix it.

Mikan's POV

I teleported to the ESP's office "I will go to America to train" I told him. Yeah that is right the reason I asked that Hyuuga is because I couldn't decide whether I should do it or not. But since he thinks that way I guess I am going. What he said really broke my heart because I really do love him. But that is over now and I am going to change and I am going to get stronger.

"When is the earliest time that I can leave?" I asked him.

"tomorrow morning before classes start but I am sure you want to bid them goodbye first?" he said to me.

"No thank you." I said then walked out of the room and teleported to my room so that I can pack and write everybody a letter explaining why I left after I finished everything I went to sleep early so that I can wake up early tomorrow morning…

KLP-Chan: Alrighty there I worked all day on this. Well sorry to those who hate cliffhangers. I will try to update as soon as possible.
