Chapter 3: Unhopeless Romance

Normal P.O.V.

It was early in the morning and a certain brunette with hazel brown eyes was already awake. It was of course Mikan Sakura. Who else could it be? She was up early in the morning and it was so so so so so unusual. Before, Mikan would usually wake up 10 or 5 minutes before the bell rings.

Mikan was happy to see her oh so cute younger brother sleeping soundly. He was sucking his thumb and snoring lightly and cutely so she decided not to wake him up and take a bath first. After doing her usual morning routines, she saw Youichi waking up.

Mikan smiled at him "Good morning You-chan".

Youichi smiled at his sister to while stifling a yawn and greeted her "Morning nee-chan". She ran to her sister and gave her a good morning bear hug. (awwww! So cute)

"Mikan nee-chan, will you tell your friends about you leaving today?" asked Youichi cutely while still hugging her sister.

"Well it is necessary You-chan and I will definitely miss them all. So get ready now You-chan; classes will be starting," said Mikan in a not so cheerful way because she will miss her friends especially Natsume.

After You-chan finished preparing himself, Mikan walked Youichi to class which surprised almost everyone because of seeing them together holding hands like brother and sister. Youichi bid farewell and told her sister that she will be eating lunch with the "gang" later. Mikan then made her way to her classroom and then…

Fan boys started to crowd her and told her things about love, girlfriend, pretty, gorgeous and other things fans would say. Mikan was as usual smiling at them and was trying to get out of the crowd. Luckily, she did.

She went to her friend and greeted them "Ohayou minna-san" with a fake smile.

Her friends noticed this but still greeted her back, "Ohayou Mikan-chan!" of course they would ask her what her problem is.

Mikan went to her seat and stared at the window thinking very deeply. Her classmates especially her friends were very worried since she was the sunshine of the class. Suddenly the door burst open revealing Natsume and Ruka then again girl start to squeal and crowd at them.

"Typical," Ruka and Natsume sighed.

They made their way to their seat but something seems wrong. Yes, it was because Mikan didn't greet them once they went to their seats. Mikan was really deep in thought that's why she didn't notice them. Ruka and Natsume were getting worried though Natsume didn't really show it so Ruka decided to greet Mikan.

"Ohayou, Sakura–san!" greeted Ruka with a smile.

"Ohh I didn't notice you Ruka and Natsume. Ohayou!" greeted Mikan less enthusiastically and with a fake smile.

Now her friends were really getting ready so they tried asking if something was bothering her.

"Mikan-chan, are you alright?" asked Anna worriedly.

Still Mikan didn't reply since she was AGAIN back to thinking deeply.

"MIKAN! MIKAN!" called Anna, Nonoko and Sumire loudly.

"Huh? What happened?" asked Mikan innocently.

The gang sweat dropped at her actions.

"Umm, you see Mikan-chan, we were worried about you," said Yuu worriedly.

"Yeah, is there something bothering you Mikan-chan?" asked Nonoko.

"Umm . . . I'll talk to you about it later ok?" said Mikan sadly.

"Okay Mikan-chan!" said the group except Natsume and Ruka. They just nodded in confirmation.

"Stop frowning dummy, it makes you uglier than you really are so smile." Hotaru said as a small smile graced her lips.

"Thank you, Hotaru! You're a great bestfriend!" Mikan said trying to hug Hotaru but frankly she dodged it. Mikan knows that Hotarus is really cheering her up despite the insult, that's why she smiled a true one.

But nonetheless, Mikan continued to stare outside the window and she didn't notice that a certain flame caster was watching her intently and worriedly.

"Oi, polka dots, something wrong?" he asked monotonously but with a hint of concern.

She looked at him and smiled at him "Look, I told all of you that I'll tell you what's bothering me later, okay?"

Natsume seemed to look bored but deep inside he was really concerned "Whatever polka dots."

Classes continued and her friends were really waiting for her to spill what was bothering out.

RING! RING!

"Class dismissed," Jinno-sensei said and went out of the classroom.

Mikan and the gang then stood up to go to the cafeteria for lunch but then . . .

"Onee-chan!" screamed Youichi while running to Mikan for a cuddly bear hug.

The class was petrified at what they saw. They saw Youichi hugging Mikan and they look like real siblings.

"Oi poka dots, what did you do to make Youichi come to you," asked Natsume curiously. He was getting annoyed with this because HE IS ONLY YOUICHI'S BROTHER!

Mikan carried Youichi and said "Ohh hi there You-chan and FYI Nastume, I didn't do anything to him right You-chan?"

Youichi was very comfortable with her sister's hug and replied "Hai nee-chan. She's not like the other hags so I like Mikan nee-chan and I call her onee-chan, Natsume nii-chan," said Youichi cutely O.o.

"Hn whatever," said Natsume walking out.

"KAWAII!" squealed Anna, Nonoko and Sumire.

"This is the first time I agree with their squealing but yeah Mikan and Youichi do look cute," said Koko.

"Man you're being mushy Koko but you're right hehe," replied Kitsuneme.

"You guys are becoming gay." Ruka pointed out.

"But Ruka, you've got to admit they look cute!" Yuu said with sparkles in his eyes. Talk about gay.

Everyone sweat dropped at him and Anna, her so loving girlfriend, whacked his head.

"Shut it Yuu." Anna said as a deadly aura surrounded her.

"Ooooh someone made her girlfriend mad!" Koko said.

"I wonder who did it." Kitsuneme said innocently.

"Ohh Shut up will you!" Yuu said angrily as she went to Anna and apologized to her. Seconds later, they were making out. Everyone looked away since it was pretty disturbing.

"Cut the crap love birds. Let's go." said Hotaru though she recorded the whole scene. MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!

The group followed and went to the cafeteria. Once they entered the cafeteria, it grew quiet. Why was that? It was because Mikan was carrying little cute Youichi. People began whispering, saying how cute Mikan and Youichi was or how they envy Mikan or Youichi because they are with each other.

They got their food and immediately went to their seats for Mikan to spill it out. The gang was staring at Mikan intently and she was of course freaked out because of their intent stares. Even Hotaru and Natsume were staring. Youichi noticed it and decided to stop the gang from staring at Mikan.

"Please stop staring at Mikan nee-chan. She tell you so stop staring at her," pouted Youichi cutely at them.

The group nodded at Youichi and started to eat their food while waiting Mikan to tell them.

Mikan sighed and took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Okay guys, fine here it is," Mikan said seriously.

The gang stopped eating and faced Mikan and anticipated.

"Umm you see guys I will be transferring to Gakuen Alice America and I will stay there for 3 years," said Mikan starting to shed some tears.

The gang was obviously shock so shocked that they didn't even utter a word because they can't speak because of the shocking news. Then the girls began to cry even Hotaru and the guys were sad and depressed especially Natsume. He was depressed and shocked though he didn't show it. The gang's atmosphere suddenly turned unhappy and depressed.

"Why you Mikan?" asked Hotaru while hugging Mikan.

"Sorry guys but I have to. This is for the better of me," said Mikan crying her heart out.

"We understand Mikan but please return to us," said Anna.

"Yes Mikan please return." said Yuu starting to shed some tears.

"Always take care of yourself." said Ruka turning to Mikan trying to stop his tears from falling.

"Minna, don't worry it will be alright and I promise to return ok?" said Mikan hugging her friends.

"By the way Mikan when will you be leaving?" asked Koko.

Youichi looked at Mikan and planned to answer the question instead, because he can see her sister very depressed "She will be leaving tomorrow," said Youichi starting to cry.

Suddenly a raven haired guy which was Natsume went outside since he was so hurt and so so depressed and nobody noticed he left.

"What?" screamed Nonoko, Anna and Sumire.

"Yes tomorrow I'll be leaving so I want you guys to go to central town with me after classes," said Mikan

"Sure Mikan," the gang said sadly.

Suddenly Mikan noticed that Natsume was gone "Guys where's Natsume?" asked Mikan.

"Yeah where is he?" asked Koko to the gang too.

"Probobly outside," said Kitsuneme.

"Ohhh I'll go find him," said Mikan.

Mikan went outside and went to the Sakura Tree since he always goes there. She saw Natsume on a branch of the Sakura tree sleeping though he really wasn't really sleeping. Mikan slowly climbed the branch attempting not to wake him up. She sat on the branch and stared at his face and smiled.

She gently caressed his face and said "You know Natsume, even though you tease me, look at my underwear and burn my hair or skirt, I will always love you no matter what," confessed Mikan softly.

Natsume's reaction was unreadable; shocked, happy, depressed, surprised and dumbstruck was written all over his face. He smiled a little though Mikan couldn't see it. He slowly sat up and Mikan was shocked of course with this.

"N-N-Nat-Natsume d-did y-y-you h-hear wh-what I s-said a while a-ago?" stuttered Mikan.

Natsume smirked "So what if I did polka dots," said Natsume.

Mikan was shocked and so so surprised. Her eyes were as big as saucers and she was blushing beet red because of what she was so darn embarrassed.

"Oi polka dots, do you really love me?" asked Natsume covering his bangs since he too was blushing.

"Yes Natsume. Now you know I'll be going," said Mikan tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

Mikan was about to leave but Natsume immediately caught her wrist and hugged her tight like he'll lose her anytime. Mikan was taken aback by his action so she faced him and asked a question.

"Natsume . . . Do you love me?" asked Mikan.

"What if I say yes polka?" replied Natsume.

Mikan was again shocked and hugged him back.

"I love you Natsume," said Mikan sweetly.

"I love you too Mikan." replied Natsume and then he captured her to a kiss.

The kiss was at first light and sweet but it turned passionate and hot. Unconsciously Mikan wrapped her arms around his neck and Natsume wrapped his arms around her waist. They both enjoyed the pleasure they both were giving and broke for air. Unbeknownst to them some people were watching especially one of them was a blackmailer.

(Somewhere behind a bush)

"Rich! Rich! Rich! Money! Money! Money," whispered the blackmailer Hotaru Imai.

Yep the couple didn't notice the the gang until they broke free for air.

"Imai, Ruka, Youichi, Koko, Yuu, Ogasawara, Umenomiya, Shouda and Kitsuneme, come out of the bushes," said Natsume icily.

His cold call for them sent shivers down their spine except Hotaru whose face was still emotionless as ever.

"Eh? Guys you saw us?" asked Mikan to them still hugging Natsume.

The gang nodded at Mikan.

"KAWAII!" squealed Nonoko, Anna and Sumire.

"Congratulations Mikan and Natsume," said Yuu giving them thumbs up.

"Congrats Natsume; finally you made a move on Mikan," said Ruka patting Natsume's back.

"Yeah bro, that was awesome," said Koko.

"Didn't know that you were that sweet Natsume," said Kitsuneme.

"Congrats Mikan and thank you for making me more rich," said Hotaru with dollar sign in her eyes. $_$

"Congratulation Mikan nee-chan and Natsume nii-chan," said Youichi cutely trying to hug them both.

Mikan was shocked and blushing at the same time "Thanks guys and since today is my last day why not spend it with you and go to central town, my treat,." said Mikan gleefully.

The gang nodded and went to the bus to go to central town.

TBC.
