Chapter 2 : Past judgment versus present judgment, who will win?

"I DON'T WANT TO BE PARTNER'S WITH THIS – IDIOT!"

Ruka just smiled but was terribly disappointed. He just sat on his seat and remained silent, looking at them.

"gomene gomene, Natsume-kun, Mikan-chan, but it's already settled. We can't change it anymore, plus, everyone already agreed on the proposed plan of a certain someone." Narumi reasoned.

"Who the hell is that certain someone? I'll burn him." The raven haired Natsume suddenly questioned them with a pair of cadaverous eyes searching for that "certain someone".

Hotaru placed her blueberry tart on the table and stood up. She raced her hand with confidence.

"I am that "certain someone". Got any problems with that?" she asked coldly.

"Hotaru!?" Mikan was alarmed.

Natsume's deathlike eyes suddenly disappeared. He bowed his head and let out a heavy sigh.

"I hate that girl." He thought.

Mikan approached her best friend with a pair of watery eyes and her pink, soft lips turned arid.

"WHY HIM!? I- I CAN DO THE PRINCESS PART BUT THE STORY WILL HAVE A SAD ENDING FOR WHEN I JUST SEE HIS PERVERT FACE, I'LL DIE IN AN INSTANT! YOU WANT THAT, HOTARU!?? PLEASE!! NO!! NOT WITH THIS-- - IDIOT!" she pleaded.

Natsume was agitated on what Mikan said. He felt his heart was pricked with a needle.

"Don't worry strawberry girl, never will you see this pervert face on the play. Tch, I abdicate to this stupidity." He left the classroom.

Everyone became silent.

Mikan was guilty.

"I- I didn't mean to say that Natsume-"

SLAM!

Mikan followed him outside.

"Natsume! Gomene! I really didn't meant that! I was just too shocked! I-"

"tch, even you didn't said that, I still won't join, idiot. I don't care on what your lips say about me. Never had been, Never will be. To you, I'm just a dangerous, cold, mean and selfish pervert, right? " he chuckled.

He didn't look at Mikan, he continued to walk. His bangs hid his crimson orbs. Deep inside, he was hurt.

But he thought "This would be much better. At least, there would be a capacious gap between us now. In the end, it would still be like this right…"

Then he turned right…vanished…

Mikan was petrified on what Natsume told her. That was not true. Never. She was deeply hurt on the things her ears heard.

She bowed her head, her auburn eyes hid. (ahww… too dramatic, I know. But you'll encounter much more tragedy than this. Sorry if it's a bit corny, dramatic or what! (.) )

The two have been quite sensitive nowadays.

Hotaru stared at her best friend. She was also guilty, if she had not proposed that silly plan, none of this would had have happened. But, she knows what the two feels for each other, she just want to help.

"Mikan, why the sudden judgments about him? That's not true right? Your feelings for him…"

"Stop!" Mikan halted.

Train like steams wheezed in her head. She sprinted and followed Natsume.

Hotaru was startled.

She followed her.

When Mikan saw the raven haired guy walking casually. She prepared her fist.

"NATSUME O AHO!"

Natsume looked back where he heard the roaring voice. He was perplexed.

"Why…?" then he saw a flying fist enraged with fire ready to smack him.

"You really are an idiot! AHO!! AHO!!! Hentaiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!" Mikan brawled.

He was about to receive it, when it stopped. It was so close! (.5 inches from his nose…heheh)

His sweat dropped. Then he noticed that Mikan wasn't moving at all already.

"Oi, what the hell is your problem?"

"YOU! You think for me you're just a dangerous, mean, cold and selfish pervert right!" she blared. Her cairngorm eyes locked its sight on the crimson eyed guy. She was like a "desperado".

"tch…" Natsume smirked, hid his orbs behind his bangs.

"well! FYI! Never had I thought of you like that! Maybe, when we still first met! I did thought of you like that" Her blood was pumping hard.

Then she calmed down and smiled at him. She put down her hands.

"…But now, You are someone who is dear to me!"

Natsume was surprised to hear that. He looked at the peaceful face of her which made him blush mildly.

"Natsume! Gomennasai! I don't want my friend to be angry at me!" she said.

"Gomene…"

"It's okay, don't mind."

Mikan was relieved to hear that. Her heart jumped with joy which is unusual.

She hugged the raven haired guy. Hotaru was now in relief.

"Her childish, idiotic attitude is always helping."

Then she took her camera and took a picture of the two.
