I'm so so so sorry if it took me months, no years, no centuries, no millenniums before I updated this fic. I really really thought it was so corny so I didn't even bother to update it but since I felt guilty to those who reviewed, I already decided to update it! Arigatou to Gomenasai!

So thanks to the following people who made me update this:

Chapter 2

Mikan is in her room, sitting on her bed.

Mikan's POV

Oh no, it's already quarter before 7. What should I do? What if Natsume is already waiting there. Oh no! I don't wanna go! What if he wants to rape me? WAAAAAAAA!"

End of POV

"Don't be crazy Mikan, like there's a person who is in his normal state who would want to rape a baka like you!" Hotaru teased.

"I'm just thinking the possibilities." Mikan said.

"But Mikan, don't you think you should already go? Maybe he's already waiting there." Anna suggested.

"B---but…" Mikan declined.

"Don't tell me, you're gonna do again what you do to the other ones?" Anna asked.

"You know, you are so selfish that you are keeping that secret to yourself. You don't even want to tell us so how could we help you?" Hotaru explained.

"Hotaru's right Mikan." Nonoko agreed.

"Mikan? Are you dumb?!" Hotaru shouted. "Do you know how may millenniums will it take a guy to get enough courage ask to talk to a baka like you?! I'm really impressed that he's still alive. So go!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Mikan cried. "I don't want to! I don't want to! I don't want to!"

"YOU'LL GO OR I'LL BRING YOU TO HELL?" Hotaru looked like a monster.

"I'm going!" Mikan hurried and ran to the sakura tree with the tree girls watching at Mikan's window.

Mikan's POV

I thought he told me that the time is 7pm. But why isn't him here yet?"

End of POV

"So you came?" Natsume said.

"You're so lucky Hotaru was there. Why did you call me here? Do you wanna talk?"

"Here." Natsume was handing a box to Mikan.

"What's that?" Mikan asked.

"Just accept it! Don't ask!"

"Fine. You don't have to be angry." Mikan got the box and opened it. "Wow, a necklace! Sugoi! Wait. Are you trying to ask me the THINGGGG cause if you are, you're BUSTED!"

"Wowhat?"

"As far as I know, there's a rumor in school that whenever there's a person who ask me about the THINGGGGG, I always tell them that there's something about me that they can't accept and you know what, that's not only a rumor but the truth. So please, I hope you understand. Ja!"

(OOCness is part of my story ok?)

"And here is your necklace, it's really very beautiful but I'm so sorry I can't accept it." Mikan gave back the necklace."

"But you know…"

"Stop! I know what you're gonna say. You're gonna tell me that you can accept everything about me because you love me, right?" Mikan said it before Natsume can continue what he's saying.

"Yeah."

"That's what everybody says. So Ja!" Mikan was about to leave when…

"Matte!" Natsume said.

"I also want to tell you that you've kinda mistaken me. I just want to tell you something but I can't ask you that THINGGGGG you're saying either."

"Why?"

"I also have my own reasons."

"So what are you gonna tell me?" Mikan asked.

"I love you! That's all! Like you, I also can't ask you to be my you-know-what."

"Really? Then that's good!" Mikan said and left.

"I'm back!" Mikan said.

"That fast?" Anna asked.

"Tell me Mikan, why is that I saw you returning something that was given by Natsume?" TELL ME!" Hotaru shouted.

"Don't yell! You're right, he gave me a necklace and I gave it back. What's the deal? I'm not gonna accept what he wants anyway." Mikan said.

"But why don't you want to tell us why?" Nonoko asked.

"You know, I don't really know why I don't want to tell this to anyone. Maybe because I want to forget it."

"Forget what?" Hotaru asked.

Mikan started to cry.

"What? Why are you crying?" Anna asked.

"Anna, Nonoko, Hotaru, the reason why I'm doing all of this is not because I don't like them or hate them but it's because…"

"What?" Anna asked.

"It's because I"

"What?" Nonoko asked.

"It's because I am"

"WHAT?!" Hotaru asked.

"It's because I am engaged!" Mikan cried even harder.

"WHAT?!" The three was surprised.

"You know I live in America, right?" Mikan started to tell the story behind this.

"Yeah."

"We have a family business there. When I was about 5 years old I guess, that business almost came to an end but thanks to my mother's friend, she helped us to recover our business in one condition."

Flashback

"Please, help me! Our business is very close to bankruptcy. You're my friend right?" Mikan's mother's pleaded.

"You know, this is a very huge favor right?"

"I'm really sorry."

"But it's nothing if you'll abide with my condition."

"Conditions? Anything!"

"Your daughter must be engaged with my son."

"Don't you think that will make them rebel?"

"I believe no. So you agree?"

"Yes!"

End of Flashback

"Oh, so you're really forced to marry that friend-of-your-mother's son." Anna asked.

"Yes." Mikan answered. "That's why I always dump the guys who tell me they like me. I don't want to hurt them in any way."

"You're really very thoughtful Mikan. Now I understand." Nonoko said.

"Wait, do you know that guy whom you are supposed to marry?" Hotaru asked.

"Actually, no." Mikan answered.

"And why did you go here in Japan?" Hotaru asked again.

"I at least want a little freedom until I get married right?" Mikan said.

"Yeah."

"So you understand?" Mikan asked.

"Yeah."

"But you know, I think something's going on with that Natsume also."

"Why?" Anna asked.

"He told me that he can't also be my you-know-what."

"So what did he tell you?" Anna asked.

"Nothing!"

"Nothing?" Anna and Nonoko tickled Mikan. "Spit it out dorkarella!"

"Nothing!" Mikan said.

Mikan's POV

Actually, I really can't believe he told me he loves me.

End of POV

End of Chapter

That's all. Please review! Thanks!
