It's kind of like a crossover with Kamichama Karin Chuu~
But for certain reasons I did not categorize it as such.
Chapter THREE: Saturday
Natsume's POV
"Daddy, where are we going today?" Michi was sitting right beside me in my room. We are waiting for Mikan to get ready. It hasn't been long so she'll be ready in a minute. She is not like all the other girls who take ages just to fix her hair or whatever.
"Shut up KID! I told you to call me Natsume!" How long does it take him to remember my name? "If you call me 'daddy' in public I swear I will--"
"I'm ready! let's go." Mikan interrupted. I think she heard me threaten Michi but she did not look like it. "We're just going to central town right?"
I couldn't help but frown. I was planning to make this a date but Mikan is so dense. I have hinted it so many times that I love her. Yes, I love her. However, she always acts like its nothing. Sometimes i wonder if she's doing it on purpose. Stabbing a million spikes through my heart each time i try to confess. But then again, It's Mikan we're talking about. Knowing her, she wouldn't do such a cruel thing.
"Ne, mama, isn't this a date?"
My eyes widened in shock. Firstly, the little child just HAD to say things bluntly like this, didn't he? Moreover, he called Mikan that again. Didn't he know what I meant when I told him not to call me his father? That obviously meant that he could not call Mikan his mother.
We were quiet for a second. Mikan was just staring at the ground in front of her while Michi just glanced at me and Mikan waiting for an answer.
"Could it be that you're not even dating yet?" Michi asked as bluntly as ever. Damn that kid…i wanna kill him.
"Michi-chan…" Mikan spoke as she picked him up. "Yes. It IS a date, right Natsume?" she glanced at me and smiled.
A blush kept creeping on my face but I hid it behind my bangs. normally i wouldn't have to since i could control my facial expressions but not this time. She said it too bluntly. I think Mikan's face was also red, but it could have been blusher or something.
"So it's your first date then?" Oh my god! Doesn't this kid ever think before he speaks? I sent him icy glares, but he just grinned his devilish grin. Damn that kid.
"Michi-chan could you please stop talking about this now?" Mikan told him, hugging him closer to her. "It's embarrassing… besides … in public…"
"Talking about what? Dating? Or you and Natsume?"
This kid…!
"That's the same isn't it…?" She said.
We walked around the central town for a while. Michi was a lot like Mikan when she first came to central town. Saying "AMAZING!" every once in a while and asking us to buy everything for him. It was hard to keep up with him, I even wanted to buy a dog leash and put it around his wrist or neck so that I could stop him before he ran away. I did that to Mikan before, she didn't seem to mind... or did she?
Our feet were pretty much dead after half an hour of running after Michi so we decided to sit down for a while.
"Hey did you hear…?"
"Yeah, I heard from Sakurano-sensei..." ((A/n: Did I get the spelling right? And is Sakurano his given name or surname? If I made a mistake please inform me about it.))
We accidentally heard someone else's conversation. But what could we do. It is not like we are eavesdropping on purpose or anything.
"…hm, yeah let's ask Mikan-chan. She should know more about it right. HEY MIKAN-CHAN!" They came over to us and eyed Michi for a while before continuing.
"Eeerm… Oh, yeah! Did you hear about Imai-san returning to the academy today?"
Mikan shook her head and stared at them eyes wide open.
"Ehhhh? We thought you might know more about it. Sorry to bother you. See ya!"
"Mikan…" I started as I put my hand on hers but I don't think she noticed. "Imai is coming back today…"
"Did you know about it too?" She asked and then looked at me.
"N-no… Aren't you happy about her returning?"
"…" she suddenly got up and cheered. "HAI!!! I cannot believe it! I'm so happy." She then began jumping around stupidly like a child.

That sound could only be…
"You still havent changed... Mikan." She spoke in her cool voice, about to say something else but was interrupted by the loudest scream i ever heard.
"Hotaru onee-chan!" ((A/n: onee means big sister))
I was sure that the one who would scream the loudest would be Mikan, but surprisingly I was wrong. It was Michi.
"Nani--?" Imai spoke staring at me and Mikan and then back to Michi. "Who's this?"
"Hotaruuuu!" Mikan screamed loudly and ran over to her best friend to hug her.
Just as I had prepared myself mentally to comfort her, surprisingly there was no need. Hotaru let Mikan hug her, and she even hugged her back. Is this really Hotaru?
"Mikan…I'm back…" She spoke as she continued to hug Mikan for a while before pushing her away. "… so who's this child? Your new friend?" She looked at Michi and then at me. I knew what she was going to say. "Natsume's brother?"
I sighed and shook my head. I can't tell her: 'eh, no it's actually mine and Mikan's child from the future…'
"Nope. He is a new transfer student. Definitely not related to Natsume in any way." Mikan replied nervously.
"…"
"Seriously… why does everyone think I'm his onii-san?" sigh… ((A/n: Onii means big brother.))
"…ok… so then… why does this child know my name?" Imai stared at Mikan with her usual emotionless eyes as Mikan tried to think of something.
"a-ano…e-eto…"
"---Imai! You know Mikan. She never shuts up about you."
Good excuse right? No, she is Imai, she will find out eventually anyway…
"The way Mikan described you was so descriptive you could almost picture it… it was probably just a lucky guess on Michi's part."
Hotaru stared at Michi while Michi stared back at her innocently.
"Nee-chan's hair is so short."
Actually, Imai's hair was longer than it was 5 years ago. It was about twice as long as it was 5 years ago…
"What…?" Imai spoke and looked at Mikan again. 'There's something you're not telling me' was written all over her face.
"…I'll find out sooner or later…" She replied as if she knew that we knew she was suspicious of this.
I glared at Michi just in case because I was worried he might blurt out something unnecessary.
"…So…Since when are you too dating?"
"Eeh? … oh… um this is actually our first … um … date." Mikan stuttered blushing deep red.
Imai looked at me weirdly. "'Took you long enough…" She said this without Mikan hearing it and then turned to her. "Yes, so I'm back. If you need me, I will be in my room. Here's the address."
She handed her a piece of paper and then left giving Mikan one more hug.
"Hey Natsume. It says 'room 7, 3rd floor, three star dorm.'"
"WHAT?" I ran over to her and grabbed the paper. "That's next to Ruka's room."
"Let's go find him before…Hotaru…" Mikan spoke and picked up Michi.
Without thinking, I grabbed Mikan's wrist and started running toward the middle school animal shelter (whatever it is called).
"Whew…" I sighed in relief as Ruka stared at the three of us in shock. I told her teasingly. "Ruu-chan, Imai is back."
"Don't call me that again…!!" He tried his best to sound angry but failed miserably. "…So what?"
"So you're ok with her blackmailing you again---?"
"Ne, papa." Michi pulled my sleeve but took his hand away as soon as I looked at him and whispered. "Call me by my NAME!"
"Natsume-chan…" ugh… that's not what I meant. "Ruka-nii and Hotaru-nee were going to get married in the future but…" He suddenly stopped.
I looked at Mikan, and I think my expression was probably no different from her. Imai and Ruka… I noticed Mikan had started giggling quietly and it made me smile a bit too. "I bet Imai blackmailed him or something." Mikan just simply nodded but continued to giggle.
"Hey what are yous whispering there?" Ruka put down the newborn rabbit baby and walked over to us. "Natsume… Did that kid just call you 'papa'?"
"Yeah… don't ask." There is no point in lying to Ruka. He would find out from Imai soon anyway because I think Imai has probably already figured it out.
"By the way. Imai's room is next to yours. It's room 7."
Ruka just nodded but did not seem like he hated it or anything.
He is kind of changed. He used to hate it when Imai blackmailed him but now his fine with it…
"Ok, we gotta go, bye-bye Ruka-pyon."
When we got outside it was already starting to get dark.
I am not satisfied with today at all. I wanted to go out with Mikan, but this kid was in the way the whole time, and then Imai and Ruka…
We decided to visit one last place. The northern forest.
It used to be dangerous there because of Bear, but now that Mikan has warmed up Bears heart, he does not hate anyone anymore.
Michi was starting to get tired so I carried him since Mikan was also tired.
Soon he fell asleep.
We sat down near one of the trees.
"Mikan…" I started as Mikan turned her head to face me. She smiled and giggled nervously. "Heh, I'm sorry. Today was not much of a date was it."
"Hn. I didn't expect much anyway. I mean we had this kid tagging along so…"
"Umm, How… h-how about next Saturday then?" she turned her head the other way immediately and then continued. "I mean like… if you want…"
"Yeah…" I spoke and she looked at me. "You're the only girl I would want to be with."
"The way I… feel about you… I've never felt this way about someone else." ((A/n: OMG the second I wrote it, it was said in the song I was currently listening to. My Temperature Is Rising by The Audition. ^^ AMAZING))
Mikan kept hiding her face behind her bangs probably hoping I would not notice.
If I kissed her now, would this be considered as pushing my luck?
Slowly, I moved my left hand and placed it on Mikan's right hand, hoping to get her attention since she was looking the other way again. When she turned to look at me, her hazel eyes looked so big, so beautiful. I had this strange feeling inside of me that i couldnt explain. It felt sick! and Disgusting! But strangely enough, i kinda liked it.
To Mikan my face probably looked as calm as ever, since i've had years of practice with hiding my emotions. But mikan's face told me everything about how she was feeling. I liked it. She looks even more beautiful when she blushes like that.
"Mikan...Did i ever tell...you..." I tried to speak as calmly as i could. Hiding the fact that this seemed to be the hardest thing for me to do.
"What is it Natsume?" She looked at me, unable to look away from my eyes.
"You're beautiful." Mikan's Face looked stunned for a second and she tried to say something, but me with my weak heart would not be able to take it if she treated this as some misunderstanding like. 'you're a butterfly or something' . So i did the one thing a man would do to stop his woman from speaking. I kissed her. I was surprised but relieved, because she did not push me away or anything but kissed me back.
Though it was short, I am glad I did it.
Suddenly the little boy sitting between us woke up and started to wipe the sleep out of his eyes.
"Sowwie. I fell asleep." he spoke.
He looked at Mikan and noticed she was spacing out. He then looked at me and whispered. "You kissed her didn't you?"
"Shut up kid." I almost shouted, which also snapped Mikan out of her trance.
"Natsume, stop yelling at Michi-chan all the time." She yelled and stood up. "Come on Michi-chan! I'll bring you back to your dorm."
"No." I told them and grabbed Michi's upper arm. "I need to talk to him."
Mikan stared at me weirdly, and I know what she was thinking. "No Mikan, don't worry. I am not going to yell at him. I just… need to talk to him about something important."
Mikan decided to let it go.
"Ok. See you tomorrow Michi. Later Natsume." She smiled and left.
As soon as she was out of sight. I turned to Michi and asked with a serious tone. "About what you mentioned that morning you arrived in this time… What did you mean by that?"
END OF CHAPTER

Yeah, so I will tell you a little about the next chapter.
I am not going to spoil too much though.
Michi is going to tell Natsume about the future, so the whole chapter will pretty much be a flashback of the future. (PART ONE)
By The way, I am very very happy that a lot of people like this story^^
I guess most of you are Kamichama Karin Chu fans right?
