:Chapter 3:
:Stop the Madness:

Mikan was broken-hearted. All those sweet memories with Hotaru had vanished along with Narumi's words.

"Ne, Mikan? I'll talk to the teachers if you really feel uncomfortable being tent mates with me." Akira suggested as he tried to comfort the brunette.

"N-no sempai. I was just really looking forward on spending the whole week with Hotaru and it's just that things don't go according to my plan, right?" Mikan said trying to be a bit cheery.

"I'm really sorry I got to be your seatmate." He said with those sorry green eyes.

"It's okay sempai. What are you apologizing for? I'm glad you're my seatmate." Mikan said feeling a bit awkward at the current situation. She didn't mean to make him feel that way; it's just that she's really hoping she could be with her best friend the entire camping trip.

"Really? Thanks Mikan." Akira said as he gave her one of his warm smiles. Mikan smiled at him too.

This is one hell of a sight for a certain fire-caster. He's been resisting the urge to punch the Orishigawa guy. He really doesn't want to make a scene in this crowded bus, and he also wants to see this guy's motive. He swears; something evil is hiding behind those nice smiles and polite gestures.

Let's see what you're really up to, Natsume thought as he gritted his teeth in frustration.

Natsume would glance at Mikan once in a while. Their seat is only in front of his anyway so it's easy for him to see what the brunette is doing. And also easy to catch Akira looking at him with those mocking glares again. Natsume would return the glare and Akira would eventually smirk at him before turning his head away.

This guy seriously has issues. Natsume irately thought. He decided to let him off since he hasn't found anything about him yet.

An hour has passed and Mikan is now sleeping soundly. Her head was positioned against the window so when there's a hump, her head would bump onto the window but she'll still be asleep. Akira found it really cute, but still he gently touched Mikan's head and let it rest on his shoulders. Mikan didn't budge; she was still in deep sleep.

This sight made Natsume Hyuuga annoyed. Soon, the bus started to heat up.

"Phew, it's so hot in here." Anna said while fanning herself.

"It definitely is. I think the air-conditioner broke or something." Nonoko said. The students murmured, complaining about the sudden heat.

Natsume was trying to lessen the amount of his released Alice but he couldn't. Not until Hotaru was standing beside him.

"Stop it Hyuuga." She sneered, only loud enough for the two of them to hear, "Don't involve the baka in your stupid and childish rage." She said and at that, Natsume was able to stop his sudden Alice problem. Hotaru Imai went back to her seat and continued eating her favorite snack.

Another hour passed and Ruka started to get jealous of Kokoroyomi – the mind reader, who is currently occupying both of his bus seats.

"You're lucky huh?" Ruka started; "you don't have any seatmate."

"Yeah, I guess." Koko answered, "but I really have this strange feeling. Like something's going to happen."

Ruka chilled and decided to drop the conversation. Soon, Mikan woke up and again, she and Akira continued sharing stories and exchanging smiles with each other. And it only gave Natsume a lot of headaches.
