First of all: thanks for the favorite, guys. ;D I've been getting a lot of emails from FF about the people who're making the story (and ) favorite. Anyways, I 'd just like to say that I'd like to get reviews (since it sucks having none) if you DO (or do not) like the story. Flame, criticize and laugh at my work. Or you could bow down to its glory. IDK, whatever makes you and me feel good. c; thanks. Love lots. And I'm only continuing this story because I have a lot of pride and I have nothing to do. XD yours truly, sweetest -fifteen-

BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES

by sweetest -fifteen


chapter three: The Sakura Tree



Mikan Sakura sighed, touching the bark of the old and beautiful cherry blossom tree. There was a part of grass under the shade of the sakura tree that was growing like the others, but shorter. This was where maybe Natsume sat. She bit her delicate lips and squatted down, patting the grass.

How she missed sitting here with him, starting out quietly at first and then she'd pick a fight with him on how she isn't an idiot.

I'm not an idiot!
Yes you are…baka.

MAYBE I WAS, emphasis on the WAS.

When an idiot, always an idiot.

OKAY FINE HAVE IT YOUR WAY.


…but I'm your idiot, ne, Natsume?

duh.



She finally sat, leaning on the tree, her legs lying straight, feet in front of her. It's only been a week but he missed her fox of a bastard like crazy. She pulled on her flowing honey brown hair, trying to be strong. And then she put her strong, determined face on.

She needed to know the reason on why he disappeared.

"That reason isn't going to wait for me," she said, standing up and dusting off her plaid blue school skirt. "But how am I going to…….eh ?"

She heard a purr. The lass lookeded up to see a black cat, looking down at her, with crimson red eyes…

Wait, WHAT?
She looked up again, to see that the cat was already gone. She wiped her face with both of her hands, cradling her head in the process. Was she seeing illusions?

She kicked her feet up and down, groaning. Obviously, our ichigo-kara wearing character was pissed. She looked in front of her feet to find…Natsume's mask?

"Pfft. Can't be." She laughed at herself and rubbed her eyes. When she looked at the same place again.

Still there.

She reached for it, but before she could touch it, it disappeared. 'Damn it I AM seeing things.' She thought, her eyes, widened as she wondered: 'Are Yuu and the others here to spy on me and test me or something. Was that cat one of Sumire's friends or just an illusion, like that mask?'

-x-

Groaning once more, she lied on the grass and tried to sleep. But through the warm winds blowing at her, she could hear such voices as petals of sakura fell on her: Sleep, dear Mikan, for I am here to help.

And this was from the comfort of the Sakura Tree.
