Chapter 2: To Be or Not to be?

Natsume stood tall and proud as if fearless by the shore, he looked directly at the deceiving purple eyes of Reo, what did he get from his pocket? He got his gun and pointed it to Natsume. "You coward, why use your gun to kill me when you can use your dumb alice?" Natsume stated

"Urgh… very well then, you've got guts Natsume, I like your character." There was silence for a minute and after that precious minute; a gust of wind blew the sand away. The sun shined brighter and the waves slowly touched the sand. "Bring it on" Natsume said confidently, Natsume sort of gathered all the warm elements in the world and placed them altogether in his hands.

He gave all his energy and blasted it all the way to Reo. The whole island of Sumero seemed to shake. Plants turned to ashes, stones of the earth broke, and Reo? Reo stood up on the sand with burns all over his body, he had bruises up and down his arms, and his clothes were tore and ripped off.

"That was massive Natsume" Reo said while putting his left arm unto his right shoulder. The young, tired Natsume turned and left Reo to faint under the sun. He walked further and further to return to Tokyo.

"Mikan, how long have you stayed at the academy?"

"Umm… I think, a year lately."

"Mikan, you know what?"

"No, what?"

"Since I met you, I kept asking myself and saying about if"

"What's wrong with if?"

"I hate the word if"

"I don't get it"

"I thought of what would happen if I met you first? Before Natsume did, what if you felt feelings for me?"

"Uh…Ruka-pyon…" Ruka looked at the ground while they were sitting on the bench under the charry blossom tree. Ruka faced Mikan and said,

"Mikan, will you give me a chance?"
