Yeah, I know; I said I would upload if I got over 5 reviews. But I figured that if I had at least over ten reviews for this story I can still continue with the chapter. So here it is; chapter 4. Now, I always forgot to clarify ONE SPECIFIC DETAIL IN THE STORY (Darnit Brain, why can't you remember anything?) And that was that Mikan and the other students live at home with their parents. So, if anyone had confusion with the last chapter; I'm incredibly sorry. Forgive that I have a really bad memory; and I forgot to write this THREE TIMES. UGH. Sometimes; I'm so deeply disgraced with myself. ANYHOO~ Enjoy Chapter Four! Sorry if it might not make sense; I'm sick and I just wrote whatever was at the top of my head.
Chapter 4: A realistic Dream
I dreamt about Natsume that night. He was always in the background, just staring at me; no, GLARING. It's as if I did something wrong. Suddenly I saw that Luna woman running across some of my dreams. One dream there was a bunch of clear stairs. I would stand on a platform, and she would come running through; with Natsume walking after her. When Natsume stopped and turned my way; the platform that I was standing on gave out. The glass shattered; and I winced in pain as if I really was cut by glass. I shot out my hand towards Natsume, though I thought that he wouldn't care at all and leave me to fall. To my surprise, his body jolted forward and his arm shot out. He looked me straight in the eyes, fiercely. Another platform sparkled and Natsume helped pulled me on it. He silently whispered;
"Watch where your falling…"
My legs gave out to his mournful face. When I glanced upwards I saw a body of water splash onto me. Chokingly, I tried swimming up to the top. Natsume stood on top of the water, like a ninja from Naruto. This time, he wasn't glancing at me; but rather than the crying Luna. I tried reaching the surface, but the water had a barrier to stop me. I thrashed it with all of my might. Luna was the only one to notice me trying to break through; and walked over to me. She bent down and held her hand out to me. He hand slipped gently inside the water and she pulled my arm out, bringing my whole body with it.
'How can she do that so easily?' I asked within my head. Luna's nice gentle smile turned harsh. She placed both of her hands on my neck and pushed me down the glass. She tightened her grip, I coughed in pain.
"Get away from my boyfriend…Get away from him. Or I WILL hunt you down." She smiled deviously. I glanced over to see Natsume, who was in a complete daze. In a matter of seconds, he was in chains; pinned to something.
"Mikan!" He shouted, thrashing from the chains.
"N-Natsume…" I muttered, trying my best to break free from Luna's grip.
"Heh, this'll teach you." She laughed evilly, she raised her fist in the air and clenched it tight. I screamed out loudly.
I screamed in reality. My body shot up immediately. I held onto my throat and gasped for air.
"T-Thank god it was only a dream…" I whispered. "A really screwed up dream…" I looked around for my alarm clock. It was 6:15 at night; meaning it was still Saturday. I got up looking for the light. Turning it on, I walked over to my computer; turning that on as well. I figured that since it's going to take a while before it will turn on; I went downstairs to make a cup of hot chocolate. There was a message awaiting for me on the island. (Note; an island, in this case, is NOT a body of land. It's a type of counter; just for those who didn't know.)
Mikan, I'll be out until tomorrow morning at lunch time.
I'm so sorry! It's just that something came up at the
work! I promise that I will not be out so long!
You can go out if you want; but not past Midnight! You hear me, sleepy head?
Love, Mother-Dear.
"That's what she said the LAST time she went out late." I laughed. I finished making my cup of hot cocoa; yummy. I ventured back inside my room, finding that my computer finished loading and is on the homepage.
I clicked on the internet icon. So many messages popped up in my chat icon.

I clicked on the many chat button, and it so happened that everyone was online.
Oranges & Tangerines: Just signed in.
Purple eyes: Damn it Mikan, where did you go last night?
Oranges & Tangerines: Nice to see/hear you too Hotaru.
Catlike Reflexes: Tell us the details Mikan! We saw Natsume chase after you left!
Cooking Queen: Yeah!
Oranges & Tangerines: Oh really? Well, I just went off and I got lost… You know what? I want to go out tonight. I'll tell you all the details later. But let me tell you, I'm so over Narumi-Sensei.
Reach_Your_Dreams: What?
Cooking Queen: That's a shock.
Catlike Reflexes: Yeah. And hey, let's go to a club tonight if you want to go out! I haven't danced in like, foreva!
Purple Eyes: And drink as well? Why don't we just get our bodies pierced as well and get pregnant?
Catlike Reflexes: Oh your not fun! JK! Were just going to dance; not like were going to drink or anything. God, stop being such a mom, Hotaru!
Cooking Queen: I agree. I almost got grounded last night because I came home with a guy. And KOKO, for that matter. The minute my parents saw him, they flipped and asking me if he did anything weird to me.
Reach_your_Dreams: Yeah, mine too. But they already knew Yuu already. It's just that I came home so late. If I asked them to let me go to a club, they'll go nuts! I mean it, you never met my parents.
Catlike Reflexes: Man, you guys are all boring! What about you Mikan? You're mom's not home right?
Oranges & Tangerines: … Yeah
Cooking Queen: Are you serious, Mikan?
Reach_your_Dreams: Mikan, this is a bad idea… I should go just to protect you; you know, if anything goes wrong. Let me go ask my parents brb.
Purple Eyes: Well, I got to finish an invention tonight. And I swear Mikan, if I hear that you drank, you're going to feel the wrath of my Baka bat. See ya.
Purple Eyes: Logged off
Oranges & Tangerines: What about you Anna? Sumire, Nonoko and I are all going.
Cooking Queen: Well…Since Nonoko's going… I guess I'll go. Brb.
Catlike Reflexes: Hooray! Thanks Mikan for convincing every1.
Oranges & Tangerines: No problem.
Reach_your_Dreams: My mom said yes as long as Anna goes and we don't do anything bad.
Cooking Queen: My mom said the same thing. So, I guess were going.
Reach_your_Dreams: Yeah.
Catlike Reflexes: Alright! Let's meet by Mikan's house! She lives nearby the most top exclusive club all in Japan!
Oranges & Tangerines: Alright. I got no problem with that. But if it's too exclusive and we can't go in, what are we going to do?
Reach_your_Dreams: I called Yuu-kun earlier if he wanted to hang out. I'll just tell him to bring the band and we'll get in.
My heart thrashed when the thought of Natsume was going to be at the same club I'll be in. It was strange, but I suddenly remembered the strange dream last night.
Reach_your_Dreams: K. I just called him. He said sure, and most of them can go. Alright? I told them where you live Mikan.
Cooking Queen: Now watch how everyone will stalk her in a matter of days…
Oranges & Tangerines: . Not funny. See you guys in a bit.
Everyone logged off.
I finished getting ready. Washing my face, brushing my teeth and hair; and I'm still in Natsume's pajamas. He smelled like Chocolate Axe… Right when I was about to get changed, I heard the doorbell ring. I raced downstairs to see that Hotaru was at my door.
"Your dressing like that?" She asked me. My eyes widened to see that she looked dressed up; like as if she was going to a club.
"Why does it concern you? You're not going anyway, so…" I began. "Plus, why are you so dolled up if your going to invent something?" I asked smartly. She glared at me with her bored face.
"Sumire told me that Ruka Nogi will be going." She blushed.
"So you like Ruka?" I asked.
"…" She didn't reply.
"I asked you, do you like Ruka Nogi? The Narumi-Sensei look alike." I smiled.
"Maybe…" She blushed. I awed in amazement.
"That's amazing," I started. "You CAN have other different facial expressions!" I laughed. Hotaru hit me upside the head; I winced in pain.
"Thank god I'm here, cause you look like a total mess." She murmured, dragging me upstairs. She threw some of my cloths at me. "Wear the leggings under the skirt, got it?" She glared. I did what she told me to do. She made me wear a black spaghetti strapped shirt; which was accompanied by a black jacket. I wore the black leggings alongside with the denim skirt. Hotaru quickly did my makeup, making sure she used waterproof makeup; just in case I get sweaty. I thanked her repeatedly.
"Hotaru, if you like Ruka… Then why don't you do your makeup the same way? Or even prettier?" I asked curiously. She glanced my way.
"I don't know… feel that if he can accept my ugly side first, then I could show my pretty side to him only." He looked down, obliviously blushing. I smiled. "You understand right?" she muttered, I nodded.
It wasn't long until everyone else arrived; even Natsume and Ruka.
"Damn it Hotaru! If we'd known that you were coming, we could've gotten a bigger car!" Sumire yelled.
"Cool your hormones already…" She said, reassuring Sumire. "Besides that, what are we going to do for fitting all these people in one car?" She pointed at the car parked outside.
"Uh…" Anna and Nonoko remarked, scratching their heads.
"Well, we could squeeze in, but it was unbearable when we got here…" Yuu offered up the idea. "If some of us sit on each other's laps, maybe…"
"Dear god, you love-struck nerd. You actually expect a crazed fan girl to sit on our laps?" The raven haired male barked out; my face got a little hot.
"Well… how many guys do we have?" Yuu asked. Counting all the guys. "Seven. And how many girls?" Now he started counting the girls. "Six. How are we going to split this up?" He pondered for a while. "I know! Why don't we use the groups we had the other night?" Tobita decided.
"I don't really mind…" some of the guys muttered.
"So, Youichi and Misaki both have to sit on my lap?" Tsubasa whined. Misaki hit him lightly on the head. "Misaki alone is bad!"
"No, we have enough space for Youichi to sit in." Misaki blushed.
"Alright, Mochi. You better not do anything weird to me." Sumire glared at Mochi.
"I won't, I won't." He said, starting to walk off.
"Sorry to put you in this type of situation Miss Imai." Ruka tried to smile at my bored friend.
"Oh? I don't mind. And Hotaru by itself is fine, thank you." She swiftly walked outside, trying to hide her blushing face.
"Hooray! This is just like a Shojou Manga!" Both Anna and Nonoko jumped in glee.
"You like Manga too?" Koko said to Anna. "I love it!" He smiled, Anna blushed.
"C'mon Nonoko." Tobita smiled, holding out his hand to Nonoko. She took his hand happily; which obviously meant that she liked him.
That meant, that it was me and Natsume left. Again. Dang. I exchanged a glance with him.
"Hey, I don't like this anymore than you do; clubber." He walked off coolly.
"Natsume, you're an idiot!" I screamed out. Inside the car, my eyes were fixed upon Natsume. He pointed at me and ordered me to go over there. He patted his lap, smiling evilly. As a sat down, he chuckled a bit. I groaned.
"Nice noises your making there. But save that later for tonight." He whispered, pulling ear towards his lips. I blushed madly.
"You pervert!" I screamed, everyone glared at me a bit.
"Um, Mikan… Are you alright?" Nonoko asked sweetly.
"Yeah…" I muttered, trying my best not to look at Natsume straight in the eyes.
"Hey, Mikan. What happened yesterday? You said you were going to tell us." Sumire asked. My eyes widened.
"Well… After I ran off, I got lost in an alley or something. I kept walking forward, scared, until I heard my mother's sweet loving voice. Until, I saw Narumi's body run after her. I thought something bad happened; like Narumi was complaining about me or something… Until he pulled her in for a kiss." I lowly growled. Anna and Nonoko exchanged facial expressions; shocked. Sumire's eyes widened to what she just heard. Some of the guys didn't even know what I was talking about me; so they all looked at me crazily. "Anyway, I screamed out that I hated my mother and Narumi. I ran out, I ran into everything that was in my path; even Nat-" Natsume put his hand over my mouth. The chocolate Axe choked me a bit.
"She tried to rape me when she saw me; taking me down to the ground… in front of everyone I might add." He bluntly said. I bit his strong muscular hand; he flung his hand back, wincing in pain. Everyone laughed.
"So… You're honestly over Narumi?" Nonoko asked.
"Yep." I replied.
"You'll only like guys your own age, Mikan? And no, 25 is not around your age." Anna asked bluntly.
"HAHA. And yes, I'm so over older men; they can break everything that you own." I smiled.
"SUCCESS! I knew the band thing would work!" Sumire yelled, throwing her hands up in the air.
Suddenly, we hit a bump in the car ride. I almost fell out of Natsume's lap until I felt a guy's arm grab my arm.
"Huh?" I managed to whisper. It was Natsume; looking at me with fierce eyes. An image from the dream last night raced through my head. He pulled me closer to him; my head inching closer and closer to his face. He wrapped his arms around my stomach, preventing me from falling again. I realized that it was getting hot in the car; which was the combined body heat from me and Natsume. I felt to cozy in his arms, and I began to swiftly fall asleep.
Man. I sleep too much; don't I?
