Chapter 2: 2nd Gift...One Heart

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mikan and Natsume receives the paper that states what item they should give to that special person and for some reason they seem to find it harder to give to one another. What could it be?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After opening the presents given due to the event Mr. Narumi arrives again with yet another box of papers

"Hello, Class, I was just informed that you will have to pick another piece of paper out of this box to find out what you will be giving to your special someone after today, so I will again turn around for each one of you to pick out of this box...hmm... Natsume, whoever chose you must really tried hard for that present since that frame your holding is very spectacular... ehem.. Anyway ill start turning right now"

As Mr. Narumi was turning around passing the box to each student Mikan was blushing after hearing Mr. Narumi talk about that gift and all that Mikan thought about was, what Natsume thought about it

"Mikan, Mikan, MIKAN!!!"

"oh.. Mr. Narumi..."

"don't space out like that, anyway, take your pick now"

while Mikan was busy randomly picking a paper put of the box hoping that it wont be something hard Natsume was strangly uncomfortable and disturbed for a change, busy looking at the paper he chose, Ruka interrupted (oh if your wondering what Ruka got for Hotaru, don't worry that will come)

"Natsume, are you feeling alright?"

"no..."

"what's up, Natsume? what are you supposed to be giving Mikan?"

"here, read it for yourself..." Ruka got the paper and for some strange reason he was ready to burst out in laughter but as a good friend that he is(hmm..) he held his laughter until he was alone. Natsume unfolded the paper again and at the same time as Mikan was about to unfold it, it read the same thing...

"YOUR GIFT TO YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE... SOMETHING TOUCHING AND HEART WARMING"

Mikan blushed and Natsume stayed calm in the outside, trying hard not to show any strange reactions. Mikan held the paper so hard and almost fainted in front of Mr. Narumi who is currently putting the empty box away "the principal is allowing all of you to have a time off to find your perfect gift so.. class dismissed" Mr. Narumi announced walking out of the classroom and as usual Mikan walked with Hotaru and Hotaru as usual is trying to answer her question sarcastically

"Hotaru... I have a problem"

"don't you always?"

"Hotaru, show a little sincerity here, Mr. Narumi made me pick a terrible paper for you know who"

" sigh let me see it (maybe she'll shut up)"

"ok... here it is"

"hmm something touching and heart warming, huh?"

"yeah"

"a heater"

"Hotaru, how do you expect me to carry a heater to class?"

"so you agree then?"

"don't make me hurt you"

"you cant your afraid of me, bye now this is my room"

Hotaru slammed the door and Mikan walked by herself to her room and when she got there she sat on her bed and started thinking all over again "darn it, why does it have to be so difficult" she thought and rapidly she went our of her room looking for something. Meanwhile Ruka and Natsume were walking around town.

"Ruka, what did you get Hotaru?"

"A wrench"

"It was really nice knowing you, Ruka"

"huh?"

"nothing"

"Natsume, what are you planning to give Mikan?"

"don't remind me"

"sorry"

"hey, Ruka, you can go ahead if you like, I got something to do right now"

"alright, Natsume"

Natsume ran straight to the forest while Ruka went to a different direction, not noticing Natsume running straight to the woods, and as for Natsume he ran to a strange place in the woods and maybe this is where he can get his gift. Meanwhile Mikan who is now currently running around town looking for something and saw a strange shop and maybe this to is where she can get her gift for Natsume.

Later that night Natsume was in his room writing something and slowly putting it inside a paper bag and Mikan who is starting to wrap her present to Natsume. Next day Natsume got to school early and place his gift on the desk and so did everyone else and later on Mr. Narumi started shouting each one of their names so that they can get their gifts

Natsume was holding his gift in his hands and so was Mikan and at the same time they opened their present and they both saw a beautiful red rose, it smelled just like heaven but as for Mikan there was an addition to her present, a small paper with writings on it and it read

"the greatest gift you could ever receive is not with this rose

but a persons heart that can melt the thickest blanket of snow"

Mikan blushed as she read it and embraced the letter near her and Natsume starring at her smiling knowing that he had chosen the most special gift of all
