Chapter 2: Who? Why? and What?

"But... who else would ask their date out with one word, 'twelve'?" Mikan asked with a light giggle.

"I don't care."

"Nastu—A-achoo!" Mikan sneezed again.

"Polka- shut up." He demanded as he headed toward the dormitories. And soon enough Natsume carried her to the Fourth floor were all the special star rooms were located.

Cough cough…

"Natsume? Where are we going?" She cried as she struggled to get out of his hands.

"Stop moving, Baka." Natsume said as he opened his dormitory door. "Natsume, you could have just brought me to my room." She replied weakly with cute puffs on her cheek. She really thought it wasn't necessary for her to come all the way to Natsume's room.

Natsume's room was quite big, unlike Mikan's. He had a small living room consist of a plasma screen TV, three couches, and behind he had a King sized bed. On the left side (of the bed) he had a small desk with a picture of Mikan and him taken together last summer. On the left wall near his bed, stood a brown desk with papers, textbooks and several manga magazines. On the left wall was his closet with his bathroom door on the right side right next to his bed.

Natsume laid Mikan firmly on his bed and took out a white long sleeve shirt with blue and white check pajamas. Mikan was still cold, yet sweaty due to her uneven temperature that ran through her body.

"Mikan, change in to this." He told her as he gave her the clothes. With a small nod, Mikan went into the bathroom. Mikan gave up on convincing Natsume taking back her to her room. I mean, It wasn't bad at all, is it?

Nastume waits for Mikan on his bed, thinking deeply. This was well, not the first prank, it happened. Back when Nastume and Mikan first went out, god, it was horrible. Although Mikan's fan boys pissed Nastume time to time, by touching and taking advantage of Mikan in some way or form, Nastume's fan girls were much much horrible. All evil and vicious, they stole Mikan's homework, slip bugs in her shoes, throw eggs at her, abuse her etc… But, this soon died out after they served hours of punishment. It looked, until now Mikan and Natsume re-gained their private lives but he wouldn't want risk Mikan going through the horrible times again.

'I've got to find out who did this.'

The moment Mikan stepped out, Natsume couldn't help himself to look away, blushing and chuckling. Natsume's big clothes were too big for Mikan's petite body: one side of Natsume's shirt slid down while and his pants were loose and baggy.

Cute. He thought simultaneously.

"What are you chuckling at?" she pouted as she climbed on to his bed next to him.

Mikan closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep as she heard Natsume heading towards the bathroom.

Ugggg… My head is pounding so hard… And I'm so cold… Why did I fall asleep there? Who was the message from, since it wasn't from Natsume? Who could it be? Why did the person send the message? Why?

Mikan at this point was lost in her head was filled with millions and millions of questions. She thought so hard; she didn't even notice Natsume was out of his bathroom.

Than a warm pair of hands hugged her waist tight and securely. It was Natsume's.

"Natsume…" Mikan whispered.

"Sleep." He whispered back.

Although Mikan blushed, it didn't really matter. It was Natsume, her boyfriend who was really, really cared about her and loved her more than anything in the world. On the other side, his warmth covered her chilliness that ran through her spines. She soon fell in to a deep slumber.


The next morning…

"hmmm…" Mikan purred. Mikan felt something on her lips. She opened her eyes, revealing the brown orbs. It was Natsume, kissing her. As soon as Natsume saw her eyes open he turned back, guiltily.

"Nat…sume?" Mikan asked.

"Mikan," he said in a serious tone, "I might not come back. But, wait, wait for me." Than, he jumped out the window, his gone.

"Natsume!"

Mikan suddenly opened her eyes. She felt queasiness that ran through her body.

'I hate nightmares. Does the dream mean something?'

She looked at the clock on the small table next to her. It was almost seven. As she was about to get up, Natsume's strong arms, around her waist possessively, made it impossible to break free.

"Natsume..." Mikan whispered softly to Natsume's ears to let his arms go with out distracting from him. He moved slightly, but soon his breathing evened out again. Natsume was deep asleep from staying up all night watching Mikan.

Tick Tock Tick Tock…

As the clock needle moved, as Mikan's queasiness grew. She really had to run in to the bathroom.

"Natsume…" Mikan whimpered out, desperately. Natsume, hearing Mikan's voice uneasy, woke up. As soon as she was set free and she quickly ran in to the bathroom and vomited out water.

"Mikan?!" Natsume yelled as he quickly followed.


Bathroom faucet was running as Mikan cleaned herself.

"Gomen-ne, Natsume" she cried whimpering from pain and soreness than ran down her throat and stomach as she clutched on the sink for support.

" should have woken me up before hand." Nastume told as he helped Mikan stand on her own.

"Gomen-ne, I wasn't planning to wake you up," Mikan said, guiltily, as she starred in to Nastume's deep red orbs. She really didn't want Natsume to be tired because of her. He got enough stress and lack of sleep from his missions.

"Than stop making me worried, Polka-dots." Nastume teased as he smirked and gave her a quick kiss on her forehead, and whipped off the water on her face with a towel.

Mikan just smiled, weakly, since she didn't eat anything, she felt weaker than usual. After a moment of silence, Natsume concluded to call Subaru.

"Mikan,"

"hmmmm?"

"I'm calling Subaru in."

"Mou, Natsume! You don't have to! It is just a cold!"

"What if it's not?" He shot back. He was truly worried.

'Cute. It's Natsume. His ALWAYS worried.'

Mikan thought and just smiled. She was happy that Natsume really cared.

Soon enough Subaru came in for a check up. But, as Mikan said, it was nothing more than a cold. Before he left, he turned to Natsume and threw a white paper bag.

"Here, take these. These are some medicine and vitamins Mikan will have to take. Make her stay warm and feed her." Than, he left.

Cough… cough…

"I told you, Natsume! It is nothing more than a cold!' Mikan reassured as she coughed a little. At least that made him a bit unconcerned.

"Well, little girl," he said, "you'll have to eat." He said as he left his medicine on his Kitchen counter. Natsume had no clue how to cook, but he surely didn't want to drag sick Mikan in to the kitchen. As he was about to turn on the burner, Mikan, watching all of this from behind, quickly caught his hands.

"Baka. You first have too turn on the gas..."

knock knock

"Mikan," a calm yet sweet voice called. It was Misaki Harada senpai, with her boy friend Andou Tubasa senpai. Misaki senpai and Tubasa senpai have graduated about two years ago and got married soon. However, it turns out, both senpai's have been assigned to work in Gakuen Alice. Misaki senpai was assigned to be a school nurse and Tubasa senpai as elementary school teacher. Although, Tubasa senpai works for the Acadamey, he still goes on missions with Natsume.

"Misaki onee-chan!" Mikan greeted her with a big hug as usual, but oddly, she got of balance and was about to fall when Tubasa senpai caught her.

"Misaki you alright? Calm down, Mikan." Tubasa senpai said as he ruffled Mikan's hair as usual.

What is up with Tubasa sempai?

Mikan thought curiously. There was definitely something going on with those two.

"I guess, Tubasa was right about the idea you staying in Natsume's room…Demo…… Mikan, are you all right? Your face is a bit pale?" Misaki senpai explained, as Mikan blushed.

"Daijobu! I just got sick for staying outside too long. I'm all right! Arigato." Mikan gave her a quick smile of assurance. "Demo-ne, Misaki senpai, are you okay?"

"Well, Mikan, I wanted to tell you before anyone else that…I'm…ummm…"
