Being With You
IV
"Controversial Couple"
Mikan was sound asleep, dreaming about Howalons, a friendly-version of Hotaru and a very loving Natsume. So yeah she was absolutely dreaming.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"What was that?!" she said waking up from her very fantastic dream
"You're going to be late Polka-dots if you won't change now" a deep and familiar voice said on the other side of the door
"Natsume?"
"Yeah it's me so hurry up or I'll go to class without you"
"Oh right it's Monday!"
"Hn"
He was leaning on the door when
POW!
Mikan opened it and Natsume fell through it, now they were on top of each other. They both blushed but Mikan looked away.
"Hm, you don't want your boyfriend to see you blush?"
"No, I haven't brushed my teeth yet"
"Wha!" someone gasped at the door
"Nonoko-san!" Mikan called out to her friend
"Mikan…"
"No! It's not what you think! Natsume get off me your heavy!"
"Hn"
"Ohayo Nonoko-san!" she stood up
"Ohayo Mikan…Sorry about-"
"It's okay"
"You better hurry up or you'll be late for class! Me and Anna-chan are going already"
"Hai!"
"Well see yah!"
"Bye!"
Then she closed the door, she turned around to see Natsume exploring around her room.
"You such a little girl" he teased
"Hmph! I'm gonna take a bath now, don't break anything!"
"I'm not you Baka"
"For a boyfriend Natsume you sure aren't that nice"
"Hn"
So Mikan took a bath and Natsume looked around her room, it wasn't as grand as his but it was okay. Then he spotted a picture of an old man and a very small version of Mikan. He took it so that he could examine it more.
"I'm done-"
"Is this your grandpa?"
"Yeah…"
"You really miss him don't you?"
"I do, but like I said to Yoh-sempai, he's in a better place now…"
"…"
"Come on lets go! Were gonna be late!"
"You just noticed?"
"Hmph!"
They walked to their classroom which was just a few walking steps away, it was almost class time so everybody was in their classrooms already so they didn't see the new couple walking together hand in hand.
Meanwhile in their classroom…
"Hotaru-san!" Anna and Nonoko said to their raven haired friend
"What?"
"Should we tell everyone about them?" stressing the word them
"Hn"
"Aw Hotaru your no help!"
"I don't own you so do what you want"
"Okay! Every-"
"Just think about the consequences"
"gulp"
"good, now go back to your seats they should be coming in anytime now and you don't wanna be part of our class' drama"
"hai!"
As soon as the two girls left a certain blue-eyed boy sat next to Hotaru, when she noticed this she took out her Baka Gun and pointed it at him
"What do you think your doing Nogi?"
"Uh…calm down Imai"
"Answer"
"Well each desk only has two chairs"
"So?" still her finger was on the trigger
"Well Mikan and Natsume would probably sit with each other and since Mikan won't sit here, can I?"
"Hn" then she lowered her Baka Gun and placed it inside her bag and stated scribbling on a piece of paper
"What's that Imai?"
"It's a plan for my new invention stupid"
"Oh…are you done yet?"
"If I was I wouldn't be working on it would I?"
"Y-yeah…So why aren't you done yet?"
"I don't know if which animal form would be fit for my invention"
"Well you could come with me to the Western Forest later so that you could decide with the animals in front of you"
"Western Forest?"
"They made it sort of a wild life preserve, I go there at times when I'm not with Natsume"
"Hn, Okay…Since the Baka will be to busy with her new boyfriend and seeing the real view of the animals could be more help, I guess I could"
"Really?"
"Yeah but why so excited Nogi?"
"Nothing! I'm not excited!"
"Yes you are"
"No I'm-"
Then the door opened…
"Ohayo Everyone!"
"Ohayo Mikan-chan!" Usually a lot of people would reply but now it was just Anna, Yuu, Nonoko and Koko who did.
"Hn"
Maybe people were speechless because together with Mikan was the famous infamous fire caster. People were silent as they just stared at the two holding each other's hand going to their seats.
"Natsume-kun?"
"Hm?"
"Why are the looking at us like that? They look like their watching a show on TV?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that"
"I don't like it, and something makes me feel weird."
"Yeah the stares can get you like that"
"No not that, they're really…silent"
"Oh, you want them to be noisy?"
"Yeah…Like normal"
"Okay, they want a show we'll give them a show"
"What do you-"
Mikan couldn't finish her question because Natsume already kissed her, she kissed back. Mikan got what she wanted and the classroom erupted like a volcano. Fan girls were crying and fainting, boys were either disappointed or catcalling and well the rest were happy they were finally together.
"Wow Natsume-kun their even noisier than before!"
"Hn, a kiss can do that"
"Ahh!"
Then Natsume wrapped one arm around her while Mikan just leaned on his shoulder. The others were still fainting, laughing and some just did wha they normally would, but were still very noisy.
"Class please settle down!" A teacher walked in lessening the racket, but the fan girls weren't over losing Natsume and kept on wailing
"You don't want me to exchange my class for Mr. Jinno don't you?" Everyone just gulped and were silent
"So what's everyone fussing about?" Then everyone looked at Natsume and Mikan who were just sitting by each other, holding hands and leaning on each other and arguing. Completely normal, everyday stuff added with extra fluff. (A/N hehehe,rhyme)
"Oh! Now I understand, well you have to divert your attention from them to your teachers now, you have taken your very important last exams but you still have classes with us so that you will be ready for next year…" He said before writing on the board
The rest of the day went smoothly sobs and giggles could be heard but that was it. Everyone paid attention in class, they knew what the teachers taught them would be very helpful for their next year level. The classes were shortened because the lessons wouldn't be that long so the class would end at about 2:30.
"2:28…" someone whispered
"2:29…"
Then Ruka turned to look at Natsume who just nodded, Hotaru calmly took up her vdeo cam and well Mikan was dozing off.
"2:30!"
"NATSUME-KUN!"
The fan girls jumped out of their seats and sprinted to where Natsume and Mikan was but then a ring of fire surrounded them. Natsume then smirked picked up Mikan "bridal style" and went out the window, then the ring of fire disappeared.
"NATSUME-KUN!!!" the fan girls shouted again
"So Natsume was thinking of a plan all this time" Ruka complemented his best friend
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"Imai! What did you do that for?!"
"Hmph, because of you I didn't get a clear shot of their escape. Now I'll have to sel it half the price" she answered while fiddling with her camera
"Oh, gomen"
"Come on, I need to see those animals for my invention Baka"
"Oh right! Come on lets go!" Ruka said, he rushed outside pulling Hotaru not by the wrist but by the hand, Hotaru blushed but she didn't react with her hand she just looked away.
Meanwhile…
When Natsume jumped out the window, he jumped from building to building and tree to tree to get to the place where he thought it would be best.
Then he finally arrived at the Sakura Tree. Where he placed Mikan sit up the tree.
"Natsume? Where are we?" Mikan asked waking up
"Your one heavy girl Polka-dots" he said still standing and panting
"pervert!" she said sticking her tongue out
"Hn"
"Why aren't we in the classroom?"
"You didn't want to be ravaged by all those fan girls did you?"
"Huh? Oh! Arigato Natsume-kun…" she said smiling
"Hn" then he lied down on her lap
"I have to get use to this, you really like lying there don't you?"
"If I wouldn't why would I do this in the first place?"
"Hmph! Know-it-all!"
"Thanks I do"
"Hey is that Hotaru and Ruka-Pyon!"
"Yeah right"
"Yes they are! And their holding each other's hand!"
"What?!" Then Natsume turned around and saw a blonde boy and a raven-haired girl running hand in hand towards the western forest he just smirked
"Stop looking Baka, give them privacy" he scolded the wide-eyed Mikan
"Hehehe...okay…"
Then they stopped looking and then Mikan started playing with his hair, she really enjoyed doing that. While Natsume took out a copy of his Manga and read.
"So the rumors are true!" Tsubasa said out of the blue, suddenly Mikan's eyes shot up and she stood up making Natsume hit his head.
"Tsubasa-sempai! Misaki-sempai!" she ran to hug her older friends
"Aww our little Mi-chan has grown up ne?" Misaki said
"Huh?"
Then she pointed to Natsume who was now leaning on the tree and mumbling under his breath while reading his Manga.
"Oh!" then she quickly blushed
"So is it true Mikan-chan?" Tsubasa asked
"What's true?"
"That you and Natsume are together?"
"Uh…Hai…"
"Aww that's so cute" Tsubasa and Misaki said together
"Sankyuu"
"well we'll give you some privacy bye Mi-chan!" Misaki said while pushing Tsubasa
"Huh? Why do we have to go now?"
"Shut up and just say goodbye!"
"Fine…See yah later Mikan-chan!"
"Bye Tsubasa-sempai! Bye Misaki-sempai!" Mikan waved to her two friends
"Tch" Natsume said from behind
"Natsume-kun!" she remembered
"What?"
"When I stood up did your head hit?"
"Duh Baka!"
"Gomenasai!"
"Hmph"
Mikan sat down and Natsume lied down again
"Sorry Natsume…"
"Hn" and he started reading his Manga again
"Natsume?"
"Hm?"
"Do you think Anna-sempai loves Yoh-sempai?"
"If you call hitting, slavering and abusing him affections of love then yeah" then he got a light hit from Mikan
"Ow!"
"Hmph! Well I hope she does, Yoh-sempai really loves her"
"…"
"I wonder what my dress would look like! What colors would it have! I've never been to a wedding! OMG! What would I do?!"
"Sshh! They'll tell you when we get there"
"How about you Natsume what will you wear to the wedding?"
"a tux"
"Natsume! A wedding is a special day you can't just wear that!"
"Do you even know what a tux is?"
"No, what is a tucks?"
"A tux, baka is a tuxedo, like a suit. That's what guys wear for a wedding…"
"Oh! Gomen…"
"You're such a stupid little girl"
"Wha-"
"But you're my stupid little girl"
"Aww! Natsume!"
Natsume looked up because it wasn't Mikan who replied, She was just furiously red then he saw a lot of people by the Sakura tree now, mostly seniors.
"Honestly, don't these people have lives?!" Natsume said very annoyed before pulling Mikan away from everyone.
"Where are we going Natsume?!"
"Choose your room or mine? Which ones safer from everyone?"
"Your room, girls dormitories lead to more fan girls…I think?"
"Right"
Then Natsume swooped her up "Bridal Style" again and jumped to his room.
Finally they got there, when they got inside Natsume locked the door so that nobody could get inside
"Even though I've been in your room for the third time now Natsume it never ceases to amaze me" she had a very dazed look on her face which looked absolutely beautiful where the sun's light made her face sparkle and her smiling dazed look showed her ever angelic eyes that would leave anyone dazed themselves.
"Get used to it" snapping out of the trance
"Hmph! I was just complementing your room!"
"Yeah I know…"
Then he sat on the couch…
"What now?"
"Dunno…"
"Hmph, I wish I was in my room I could show you the picture albums I have…I don't just have the one with my grandpa you know"
"Then you should've said you wanted to go to your room"
"No way! Besides I can show you those pictures anytime"
"…pictures"
Then Natsume went into his bedroom, Mikan curious of his actions followed him.
"Natsume-kun?"
"I know it's here somewhere" he said to no one in particular
Seeing he was busy in trying to find whatever he was looking for Mikan sat on his bed, he was searching for more than a few minutes so Mikan lied down on the bed making herself comfortable.
After a few minutes more…
"Got it!"
"Hm? Did you find…it?" she sit up
"Yeah here" he gave the small rectangular thing to Mikan before lying down the bed, she examined for a while
"Natsume…"
"Hn?"
"Is this your family?"
"Yeah…" he was still lying down, thinking he was tired from searching Mikan lied down next to him
"Is this you?" pointing to a little boy in the picture with purplish raven-black hair and crimson red eyes, wearing simple clothes and smiling
"Yeah…" then she snuggled closer
"Where was this picture taken?"
"We were having a picnic…mom decided we should take one, this was the only thing that was left from the fire…I don't know how it survived…"
"You okay Natsume-kun?"
"Yeah…"
"Why'd you show it to me?"
"You showed me a picture of you and your grandpa and what you like when you were a really little kid so I thought you wanted to see me"
"(smile)" then she just closed her eyes and held the picture
"What do you think?"
"You were so Kawaii as a kid Natsume-kun" she said closed eyes
"Were?" she shot her eyes open to reply
"Fine…until now too"
Then Natsume kissed her softly before wrapping his arms around her and dozing off to sleep.
….
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The both woke up and sat up
"What was that?!" Mikan said startled they only slept for about an hour
"Ugh…they'll never stop…"
"Who?"
Then Natsume threw her a look that made her know what she meant.
"Mikan-chan! You there?! Don't do this Mikan-chan! You're too young!"
"That was Nonoko! What is she talking about?" then she went to the door and opened it, Natsume slowly and gruntly followed
"What is it Nonoko-san?"
"Wow! so this is a special star room!"
"Nonoko-san?"
"Mikan-chan you can't marry Natsume!" Anna said
"WHAT?!" Mikan and Natsume both answered
"Uh, shouldn't you too say why not?"
"No, what?! We are not getting married!" Natsume answered
"Really? Good…phew!" the two girls sighed
"Come in you too"
"Hai"
"Who told you we were getting married?" Mikan asked
"Well Anna told me" Nonoko answered
"Iinchou told me" Anna replied in defense
"And who told Iinchou?" Natsume said calmly
"I think Koko did, because he said he read it from one of the minds of a senior student"
"Oh" Natsume said
"What Oh?" Mikan asked confused
"They must've been the one's who overheard us talk about the wedding"
"Who's wedding?! Hotaru and Ruka's?! But They're too-" the two girls squealed
"No, Anna-sempai and Yoh-sempai" Mikan cut them off
"They're getting married?! But they're still 18!"
"Yeah long story we'll tell you guys later now we have a bigger problem on our hands" Natsume said
"What big problem?"
"Hey you two when did you know?"
"Just now"
"When did Iinchou and Koko know?"
"Maybe a bit earlier…"
"See? The rumors must've spread like wildfire…"
Then Natsume didn't speak
"Natsu-"
"You call Iinchou we need him" pointing at Nonoko
"And you call Koko, then both of you go to the western forest and call Hotaru and ruka" addressing to Anna
"Uhh Natsume-san?" the two girls asked
"What?"
"We love to help but…um…can we exchange jobs?"
"What? Fine just go, sorry but we can't leave this room you have to do this for us alright?"
"Hai!"
Then the two ran off, Mikan smiled but then she turned to Natsume
"Why did you tell them to go call the other's Natsume?"
"We need Iinchou for his illusions and we need to help from Imai and she's with Ruka, I let her go with Koko so she won't go to the forest alone"
"Ohhh! You're really smart Natsume-kun!"
"Hn"
Meanwhile…
"So did you finish your plans for your new invention Imai-san?"
"Yeah I did, thanks"
"So did you like it here?"
"Hmm the Western Wildlife Forest preserve a.k.a. WWF preserve…it sounded like a wrestling show or something at first, but yeah I guess I did have fun…especially with you Usagi" then she smiled at the now big white bunny while petting it, Ruka couldn't speak it was like seeing her smile took his breathe away.
"Why don't you carry him anymore?"
"Huh? Oh, he's too big to be carried around now…"
"I see…" still petting the white bunny
"But I visit him here, and sometimes I get out at night just to see him…"
"Your weird Nogi"
"I know…you're the only one who knows that"
"Everyone knows you're weird but their blinded by your good looks"
"You think I have good looks?!"
"What? I didn't say that…"
"Yes you did!"
"Hmph, If I did prove it"
"but! (sigh)"
"Hn"
Hotaru won victoriously but Ruka couldn't help but still smile at what he heard. Then he was assured…
"Hotaru?"
"You called me by my first name baka"
"Come on! You can call me Ruka if you want"
"Fine…Ruka" He didn't know it but he blushed after hearing his name said for the first time by the dear Hotaru Imai.
"Why are you flushing red?"
"Huh? It must be the heat!"
"Hn"
"Hotaru?"
"what?"
"I need to tell you something"
"It seems like it Ruka"
"I…I-"
"RUKA! HOTARU!"
"Who was that?" Hotaru asked looking around
"Koko? Nonoko?" Ruka spotted their two friends
"What did Mikan do now?" Hotaru asked coldly
"Nothing, well it's not her doing actually" Nonoko answered
"Then if that baka didn't do anything wrong why are you here?"
"Rumors are spreading that Mikan and Natsume are getting married!" Koko answered
"WHAT?!" Ruka shouted thinking that their too young and not because he was jealous
"Where'd you get that idea from Koko?" Hotaru plainly asked
"From a senior"
"So what do you guys want?"
"Natsume told me to get Koko so that we could get you guys!" Nonoko answered
"So Hyuuga has a plan to stop the rumors huh?"
"We thinks so…"
"Then lets go…" Nonoko and Koko went first
"Hey Ruka"
"Yeah Hotaru?"
"Tell me after we solve this mess"
"Huh? Tell you what?"
"What you were gonna say baka"
"Oh!" Hotaru already went
"Ruka! Come on!" Koko called
"Coming!"
So they went to Natsume's dorm, when they got there Anna and Yuu were already there and Natsume and Mikan too.
"Now what Natsume?" Mikan asked
"Okay, listen…"
"Hai!"
"Iinchou you can lure people with your illusions right?"
"Huh?"
"Like you did to Ruka-pyon when we needed help with Piyo!" Mikan said, Ruka blushed
"Oh yeah…sure"
"So you can make everyone go outside here?"
"I'll try"
"You can do it Iinchou!" Anna cheered
"Sankyuu Anna-chan…"
Then he started to put his palms together and used his Illusion Alice while Anna supported him.
"Now Koko tell me when they get here"
"Huh how?"
"Their thoughts will be too loud to not be heard by you and besides you can just watch guard out the balcony"
"Oh yeah! Umm Nonoko?"
"Hai?"
"Wanna…um…join me?"
"sure…"
Then Natsume turned to Hotaru
"What?"
"Imai do you have any inventions that could-"
"Be like a loudspeaker so that when everyone gets here you can tell them that you and Mikan aren't getting married and clear this whole mess?" she said so calmly
"How did you know that?"
"It's obvious, and yes here" taking something from her pocket and giving it to Natsume
"This is it?"
"Yeah got a problem with that Hyuuga?"
"It's just so small, Imai"
"It can transmit any message in an area of about the size of a football field; the transmission is carried by an invisible field which is set off by that SMALL thing"
"Wow Hotaru-chan! THAT'S SO COOL!"
The object was a size of a small bird and looked like a bird! It had a small mike at it's beak.
"Guys everyone's here!" called Koko
"Good…Iinchou!"
"Natsume-san Iinchou is resting he seems exhausted" Anna came out
"Tell him thanks and he can go back to his room if he wants, you can go with him"
"Hai!"
Then the girl left with Iinchou
"Their waiting guys!" Koko called again
"Were coming!" Mikan said
When they got out to the balcony they saw a sea of students grumbling and confused then Natsume took out the small bird invention.
"How to activate it Imai?"
"Here" then Hotaru pushed a small button and a red light went on. Then a sort of whoosh sound was heard
"The field is set out, you can talk now Hyuuga"
"Thanks…Everyone!"
Then everyone paid attention
"NATSUME!!!" some fan girls screamed
"Shut up and listen"
Total silence
"Who believes that Mikan and I are getting married?"
Everyone raised their hands
"WE ARE NOT GETTING MARRIED!" Mikan screamed
Everyone reacted differently some with sighs of relief, some jumping up and down and some just reacted calmly
"BUT ARE YOU TWO TOGETHER?!" someone screamed in the crowd
"What?"
"ARE.YOU.TWO.TOGETHER?"
"Natsume should we answer that?"
"Hn"
"MIKAN CAN YOU ANSWER?!"
"Uh, Hai!"
Then there was an uproar of "kawaii's" heard, crying and happiness
"WHO CONFESSED?!"
"Uh…"
"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER?!"
"Just-"
"ARE YOU PLANNING ON GETTING MARRIED?!"
"We are not getting married okay! We're together that's it!" Natsume bursted
"BUT ARE YOU GONNA PROPOSE?!"
"No!!!"
"SO YOU DON'T WANNA MARRY HER?!"
"No!" then he saw Mikan go sad
"I mean I'm not gonna propose to her yet"
"YET!?!"
"I mean, can you people stop asking?! Were still 16 you morons!"
"Okay all of you go back to your dorms! No more conference here or The Buzz here!" Ruka told everyone soon they left
"Wow, that was some announcement" Ruka told
"Guys it's late…I couldn't help but read everyone's minds, can I go now?" Koko asked
"Sure" Natsume answered
"Bye Guys…"
"Uh…can I go now too?" Nonoko asked
"Hai Nonoko-san Sankyuu!" Mikan answered
"Sure! Bye guys! Night!"
So only Mikan, Hotaru, Natsume and Ruka were left.
"(yawn)"
"Sleepy polka-dots?"
"I told you not to call me that!"
"Hn"
"…"
"Come on I'll take you to your room"
"Really? Sankyuu Natsume-kun…"
"Hn, You guys should go too"
"Oh right!" Ruka said
So Mikan and Natsume went to the two-star girl's dormitory while Ruka and Hotaru walked to the three-star dormitories.
"Hey Ruka"
"Huh? Oh! What is it?" still new at her calling him by his real name
"What were you going to tell me?"
"Oh…yeah…um…promise you won't get mad?"
"Fine…What is it?"
"Hotaru…(breathe out) I really like you"
"…"
"As in more than friends…"
"Don't play with me Ruka"
"I'm not! It's true! Hotaru please believe me!"
"Yeah great joke…" Hotaru walked away when Ruka pulled her and kissed her softly
"Hotaru Imai, I Love you"
"Your serious?"
"Yes"
"Okay..."
"Okay?"
"What do you want me to say?"
"Do you like me back?"
"…"
"Hotaru?"
"Yeah…"
"REALLY! Thanks Hotaru…" hugging her
"Okay let go of me I need to sleep now"
"Oh right…goodnight!"
Before Hotaru replied she went nearer and kissed Ruka's cheek
"Night"
Then they all went to bed…
