*Mikan's P.O.V*

I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in a familiar place. The smell of disinfectant made me think I was in the hospital. After I opened my eyes completely, I managed to focus realizing I was in the sick bay.

"Is anyone there?", I asked calmly.

"You've waken up!", Andou-sensei cheered as he opened the curtain to step inside.

"Yes, I'm sorry about what happened before", I apologized looking at the floor. "You called me Yukihira-san…why?", I asked with my eyes locked to his.

"I-I made a mistake", he said in justification while scratching his head.

I felt disappointed. "I see", I answered shortly.

There's something I can't understand, if it was just a mistake…why was my behavior like that?

"Would you like to rest?", he asked in concern.

For a strange reason, I felt so comfortable with him.

"I'm fine now", I answered with a smile.

Before I could stand up and take my leave to take the last class of the day, the door was thrown open. It was Hyuuga-san.

"How are you feeling?", he asked quickly approaching to me with fast steps.

"I'm okay", I answered unable to meet his eyes.

Questions were bugging me…why did he said that when he entered the room? Why did he mean with "I knew this was going to happen"?

"Let's go home", he said leading me to the exit.

Andou-sensei just stood there, silent. I turned to see his face, he had a disgusted expression, I could identify worry as well.

I entered to his car, I knew I had 15 minutes to talk to him, but the words weren't coming out.

"What did you mean by the words you said when you arrived the class?", I asked gathering some 'female balls'.

"What do you mean?", he asked diverting my question.

"I knew this was going to happen!", I quoted waiting for an answer.

"I didn't say that", he answered shortly in justification.

"You did", I insisted.

Why does he keeps ignoring my questions?

"And so if I did? You don't need to know everything.", he answered coldly.

"I want to know!", I begged.

"There are things I also want to know", he muttered with resentment.

He's hiding something….

"Sorry", I apologized almost inaudible.

He didn't say a thing until we arrived to his house.

"Rest", he said taking his way to the kitchen.

I obeyed as I laid down in my bed.

Fifteen minutes later he was back with a chicken soup. "Eat it all", he commanded.

I took a spoon of the warm liquid, it was delicious. I felt the urge to cry, I didn't know this man until a week ago, I basically don't know a thing about him.

"He's a total stranger…", I thought before falling asleep.

A cold hearted man I don't know about but somehow, he is warm enough to heat my being.


*Flashback*

"You can't fix what you've done. Run, run away…run before your sin comes back for you. Leave this place, or you'll be next to her…buried in the ground."

*End of Flashback*


I woke up patting unstoppable, my cold sweat rolled through my chest. My heart felt heavy, I couldn't breathe. I couldn't stand from this bed, I couldn't shout…somebody help me.

I tried to take a zip of water from the glass of water I had on my desk. When I tried to take it I couldn't manage to handle its weight since I ended up dropping it. What am I going to do?

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door. "I heard the sound of a broken glass, are you okay?", Hyuuga-san asked, I couldn't see his facial expressions due to the dark night.

"I-I", I tried to speak but my words didn't make sound. "B-be careful with the glass"

He approached to me and laid his hand on my forehead.

"Mikan!", he gasped when realizing my state. "Wait here", he commanded while leaving.

I could barely opened my eyes as I felt my body suffocating.

I was brought back to reality as I felt a wet towel resting on my forehead.

"Refreshing?", he asked while pressing gently the towel towards me.

"T-thank you", I thanked with a soft voice enough for him to hear.

"Take your shirt off"

Even if I was in the border of death I could hear my heart beating like a drum.

"Amm…", I managed to make a sound.

"Your shirt is wet", he explained. "I won't look…who would want to see a flat-chested like you?", he assured.

Flat-chested!? Such an idiot….

"I wouldn't want to be seen by you ever, big idiot!", answered back angrily.

"An idiot who lets you stay in his house", he remarked, "Take this"

"What is this?", I said taking the fabric.

"My shirt. Take yours and use mine", he explained.

I couldn't see his face but I hoped he wasn't looking at me, surely I was blushing madly.

I took my shirt off it was really soaking wet due to the water from before. I took his shirt and wore it with a speedy movement. It was long for me to use but really comfortable. I felt refreshed.

After the change of clothing I laid down on the bed, I felt his presence on it. He was sitting in the edge of it.

"Are you okay?", he asked once again.

"I'm okay now", I assured and fell sleep.

I wonder why my heart beat so fast.


*Natsume's P.O.V*

Fifteen minutes were missing for 1 am to be o'clock. I stood up once I gave up on sleeping. I've been laying on bed unable to find sleep. Once I got to the kitchen I looked for an instant pack of coffee. Maybe this could help me relax, instead of the common effect caffeine does, it would do all the contrary for me.

*crash*

I almost dropped my coffee when I heard the sound of a broken glass. I started looking around trying to find the glass. I wasn't able to do so. Was it in Mikan's room?

I opened the door slightly wondering if I should turn the lights on. I decided to speak before acting. "I heard the sound of a broken glass, are you okay?", I asked in a soft voice.

"I-I", she muttered unable to make sentences, "B-be careful with the glass", she warned in concern.

She could be in the border of death but he would still be worried for your safety. Baka.

"Mikan!", I called once I felt her temperature, she was sweating unstoppable. "Wait here", I told her as I left for a towel and fresh water.

I could hear her loud breathing, she was suffocating.

"Refreshing?", I asked pressing the towel towards her forehead.

"T-thank you", she said softly, I couldn't see her due to the darkness of the room but I'm sure she was smiling as she always does.

"Take your shirt off", I commanded when I realized she needed a change.

"Amm…"

"Your shirt is wet. I won't look…who would want to see a flat-chested like you?", I explained with a smirk. I'm sure she got really mad by my comment.

"I wouldn't want to be seen by you ever, big idiot!", she said in response.

"An idiot who lets you stay in his house", I said with a winner tone, "Take this"

"What is this?", she asked.

"My shirt. Take yours and use mine"

After she told me she was already changed. I simply relaxed. I sat down in the edge of the bed as I found the perfect time to ask. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay now", she said after that I could hear her breathing.

"It has been hard on you, Pesu", I whispered and then without realizing I was sleeping just like her.

She relaxes me better that the coffee.
