Chapter 3

"Talking"

"Thoughts"

Once she was done setting up for the party she went to their sakura tree hoping that he wouldn't be there. When she saw that he wasn't she sat down and began to sing.

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the World that I'm coming

Natsume was walking to his and Mikan's tree. When he was about an earshot from the tree he heard her. She was singing. The last person to sing under this tree was Mikan. He wondered why she was there then he started to listen to the lyrics.

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the World that I'm coming

He wondered if it was mikan and looked to only see Kaze he lost his footing and tripped and almost fell on Kaze. Kaze heard somone saying get out of the way and jumped away from her spot. What she saw mad her fall to the ground laughing. It was natsume on his head with his but facing her she saw his underwear and decide to tease him "So flame why did you try to pounce on me?" she asked it took him a few minutes to process what she had said then she sat straight and glared at her. "What makes you think I was trying to pounce on you?" he asked "Well you kind of fell right where I was sitting a minute ago so…" she said sweat dropping. He Hmped and got up and walked away. While mikan was contemplating how natsume got so hot an inventor was sitting in her room thinking about a certain brunette turned blonde. 'hmm new students that are hot means more money but first I need to get info on them then maybe I can black mail them to do my bidding!' hotaru thought while laughing evilly. Natsume was in his dorm needing a cold shower after what happened she reminded him so much of mikan it hurt though his mikan couldn't throw back insults like that.

Once Mikan had gotten back to her room she made sure everything was set and waited for the girls to get there. About five minutes later she heard a knock on the door. When she opened it she saw Anna, Nonoko, Sumire, and Hotaru with their PJs and other sleeping necessities. "Hey Kaze are you ready to party?" Sumire asked. "Hell yea." Kaze replied. Then she let the girls in and they set up their stuff in her living room. It was a pretty big space, and it had a casual mode along with a sophisticated one. She had a white leather sectional with two white leather chairs, and a clear glass coffee table with a black wood trim. She had a 100' In. plasma positioned in a wooden base that also contained an Xbox 360, an epic stereo system with surround sound, and a tom of movies and games.

The girls were in awe at the living room. "OMG! Kaze you have such great taste." Anna screamed. Then the girls set up around the coffee table while Mikan went into the kitchen for drinks, popcorn, and junk food. "So what do you girls want to do? We can play Xbox, watch movies, or listen to music while playing games." Mikan said. "Can we play truth or dare or never have I ever while listening to music." Sumire suggested. "That's a great idea Sumire how about we play both I'll set up the music." Then Mikan went to the music plugged in her iPod and turned on her favorite play list. Brick By Boring Brick By Paramore started playing in the background.

"So since Sumire suggested it she should go first so Sumire truth or dare?" Mikan asked. "Truth." She replied. "Okay sooooo Sumire who do you like?" Mikan asked. Sumire blushed a deep crimson. "Well the one I like is … is … Koko." Sumire sputtered out. All the girls were shocked. Those two bickered all the time. Mikan thought "Well I shouldn't be soo surprised me and Natsume bickered all the time and look what we became almost together soon I hope soon." "OMG! Sumire we have to get you two together I'll asked Yuu if he like you."

Mikan said with a big smile on her face. The Sumire asked Hotaru truth or dare. She said truth but if they were to revile her secrets that she would make their lives miserable. They all sweat dropped anime style. "Okay so Hotaru who do you like?" Sumire asked knowing that she probably won't get an answer. But when Hotaru had a light pink blush sweep her cheeks then she whispered "Ruka." The girls couldn't hear her so they asked "Who?" "Ruka." She said a little louder but they still couldn't hear her so they asked again "Who?" then she screamed. "RUKA!" By then she had a deep blush across her cheeks. They were all in shocked again an unexpected match. Who knew that the so called "Ice Queen" loved the cheerful animal lover. "Oh" Sumire said then Hotaru said " So Kaze truth or dare?" Mikan had to be wary but said "Truth." "Okay I swear this question is going to be asked to everyone so Nonoko get ready but, Kaze who do you like?" Kaze also had a blush cross her cheeks. "Well umm I don't know if you guys going to believe this but the person I like is ….. is ….. umm …. Natsume." She said the last part in a low whisper but everyone heard it because even if it was a whisper it was as clear as if she had said it out loud.

"Wow." All the girls said. Then Anna said. "Please don't be another Natsume deranged fan girl we can't handle another one. "NO NO NO NO you've got it all wrong I know what the bastards really like. He's a pervert and bastard and can be cold hearted, but if you know what he looks like when he smiles. When he really smiles then you know who he is. He's been dragged through the darkness by others. I want to be his light and help him out of his darkness." All the girls were shocked at her words. All of them have seen his real smile and it only came out around Mikan. No one else thought of taking Natsume out of his darkness. Most people didn't know he was even surrounded by it. All the fan girls wanted was Natsume to love them. No one outside of their group knew the real him.

"Kaze we didn't know that you felt so deeply for him or that you even knew that much about him I'm sorry that I called you a fan girl most don't know the real Natsume he tries to hide it from people. So we'll try to see if he likes you to okay." Anna told her. Though mikan knew it was a lost cause. She knew Natsume only liked the Mikan her not the Kaze her. "Thanks Anna. So Nonoko who do you like?" Mikan asked without using truth or dare. "Umm well the one I like is Mochi." "Nice." Mikan told her. Then Nonoko asked Anna " I already know who you like but now you need to tell everyone else since we've already all spilled." "Well the person I like you guys mentioned earlier. I like Yuu." After a few more games and other such activities it was around 1 in the morning and since they all had school tomorrow they called it a night and fell asleep in the living room.

The next morning they woke up to mizu and kaze making breakfast after their Moring run. "hey girls sit down coffee is made and other drinks are in the fridge. After their breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes the girls got ready for school. They were all really close now after a night of secrets being shared. (not all secrets muwahahah) they all walked together to class then separated and sat in their seats many decided to sleep which was all of them.

At lunch Kaze, Mizu, and Sora went to sit under the sakura tree. As they sat down they never noticed the boy high above hidden within the foliage. They took out their lunches and began to eat. "Ne, Mizu what do you have for lunch?" Kaze asked. "Nothing much just some rice, eggs, and mini hot dog bits shaped like octopuses." "Awww really I only have some rice balls." Kaze replied pouting a bit. "We can split I love your home made rice balls." She said grabbing one of her rice balls and giving her a bit of her food. The guy above thought 'Ugggh girl talk.'

But he still continued to listen to their conversation then he heard something interesting. "Hey Mizu what's it like having a boyfriend? Is it nice? Because there's this guy I like but I don't know if I can trust him with my secret." Then she started blushing at the thought of her and Natsume being boyfriend and girlfriend.

"It's nice to have a boyfriend but, they have to be someone you trust completely, because your entrusting them with and important thing and them the same to you." Mizu said in a sage like manner somehow making a beard appear out of nowhere while she stroked it.

"Uggh I know just nevermind." They ate their lunch then went to class. 'Hmm I wonder who it is ? Could it be me? Naah but that would be a problem another fan girl just great.' The bell rang and he jumoed out and headed to class.
