Ch.3 The Change

As Mikan was holding onto Natsume; who would have thought that someone was watching them? Hotaru looked from afar at the two kids but she wasn't alone Ruka stood close to her. As they watched, Hotaru took pictures of them.

"Hotaru do you really have to take pictures? , Ruka asked.

Hotaru looked blankly at Ruka mumbled " yes" and turned to take more pictures.

Now back to our little love birds.

…..

Mikan cried as much as she could but the pain was still there, when her tears dried up she grabbed a napkin from her pocket and cleaned her face. She looked at Natsume and smiled.

" Thank you Natsume. I'm really sorry I probably dirtied your clothes" Mikan stated with a small smile.

Natsume looked at the brunette and just snorted "Little girl you are a complete moron".

Mikan was annoyed that Natsume was laughing at her.

Mikan mumbled a "thank you" and started to walk back to the class.

Natsume watched her retreating figure walk away from him. He never felt this way about anyone. He waited until the brunette was out of view to jump up the wall through the window and wait neatly in his seat for the brunette.

Mikan came in fuming but when she saw him in his seat she was confused. " How did you? Never mind" she stated grumbly.

She went to sit next to him.

But when she sat she wasn't sitting in her seat but on Natsume. She turned really red. "Natsume you PERVERT!".

She jumped off his lap and pushed him and then sat in her seat. She put her head down, she hated that her partner was making fun of her and bothering her. But something else, she never felt this way before. Her heart was beating so fast.

Natsume continued to stare at the girl until she looked up to meet his gaze. He was awe struck as he stared at her chocolate orbs.

Mikan stared at his eyes and didn't understand why he looked at her liked that, but as she kept looking into his eyes she was lost in them; his crimson eyes burning her very soul, she wanted to look away but she couldn't.

Suddenly the bell rang and that distracted Mikan as she looked up to see everyone pile up in the classroom. She shifted her position to the front of the room and replaced her flush face into a black one.

Natsume didn't know why she changed. Her eyes were so cold, hard distant. Her lips were in a tight line. Natsume never saw Mikan like this and he didn't like it at all.

Mikan didn't want any friends, no one for that matter. She was going to make sure to keep away from Natsume. Ignore him for that matter. She knew if she opened up her heart and let her guard down, she will get hurt again and she just can't let that happen.

The day dragged on and finally the last bell rang. Mikan stood up and walked out the room.

Mikan's POV

I hope Yuri had a good day at school today. I was heading straight to the North building when a girl got into my view. It was Hotaru Imai.

"What do you want Hotaru? I'm busy right now", I stated as I passed her.

" I know your brother is in this school as well", Hotaru stated.

I stopped in my tracks and I looked at Hotaru with a glare. "Whats your point Imai?" I stated with as much venom as I could muster.

"Well if you don't do me a little favor then he will get hurt", the cold girl stated.

I looked at her straight in the eyes " Are you blackmailing me?"

" Maybe" she smirked.

I smirked as well. "What is your request?"

"Its very simple, You just have to pose for my pictures and that's it" Hotaru stated.

My face fell. I was caught off guard. " Why do you want to take pictures of me?"

"Its obvious, all the guys in our class are in love with you and so they will pay major bucks for just a photo of you". Hotaru stated with dollar signs in her eyes.

"I cant believe what you're asking me. But if its pictures you want then fine but I want 20% of the profit. Do we have a deal?" I smirked.

Hotaru glared but smirked as well "glad to be in business with you."

We shook hands and I couldn't help but smile a bit. Hotaru was different from most girls I met.

…

I walked away from her and headed straight to Yuri's building.

There he was smiling at me. I smiled back and I picked him up and twirled him around.

"Mikan-nee put me down, I'm going to get sick", he stated as he laughed.

I laughed as well and put him down. He told me how he made many friends and that there was this one boy who was so cold to him but that they are good friends.

I listened to his adventure today and that boy reminded me of Hotaru maybe one day we could be friends as well.

As we headed to our room we over heard someone talking.

…...

" Black Cat we have a mission for you. This time you have no choice but to complete this mission. If you don't, I'll make sure I torture the person you cherish the most. I will personally make sure you here her screams" the mysterious voice laughed.

"You touch her and I will make sure to burn you alive. But it wont come to that not yet, I will complete the mission but it will cost you" Black Cat stated.

"Really what is it going to cost me black cat?" the mysterious voice asked.

"The only way I will complete that mission is if you let me see her. To make sure she is still ok. But if you don't the mission will be unsuccessful" stated the black cat.

"Very well then, you will finally see what we have done to her", the mysterious voice chuckled.
