Natsume: How is Mikan?

These are the first words that came out of his mouth when he visited Mikan after class. Mr. Noda was there to look after her since the others have classes.

Mr. Noda: She's fine. She is taking her sleep. The doctors do not release yet the result of examination. I think she is just over-fatigued.

Natsume: I hope so…

Mikan: Natsume…

Natsume: Mikan?

Mikan: Natsume…

Natsume: I'm here, baka.

Mikan: I thought… you really left me…

Natsume: Baka… don't act like that.

Mr. Noda: Hi, Mikan! Since, Natsume is here; maybe I could leave you now here.

Mikan: Mr. Noda, arigatou!!

Natsume ordered a miso soup at the hospital canteen. Mikan consumed the soup. The gang went to her room and visited her.

Hotaru: Mikan, you are really mischievous, you scared me…

Mikan: I scared you?

Hotaru: A bit…

Mikan: That means you care for me!

Hotaru: It's not that, asa ka pa; I'm scared at corpses...

Mikan giggled childishly. Natsume was excuse at some of his classes in order for him to look after Mikan. The faculty members visit her at daytime.

Another day, Mikan is listening to her friends' stories when the doctor called upon Natsume.

Doctor: Natsume, I'm sorry.

Natsume: For what?

Doctor: Mikan, may have leukemia. But, this is just a possibility because she has to undergo another test. Pray for her. Just pray for her. Cures for this kind of cancer is rarely needed here inside the academy. When we looked upon the records, the last leukemia case here is back in the 90's. And the last victim was Mikan's relative.

Natsume: A-are you saying that, if she fails this last test, s-she…

Doctor: Yes, Natsume. I'm sorry. But, we will try our very best to save her.

Natsume looked at Mikan at the window. How sweet she is.

Natsume: NO.
