Mikan in Wonderland
101 Dalmation X
Mikan noticed it was something red. She stared at it for a while before it moved off. 'Strange?' thought Mikan and she started following the red thing which looked like fabric. She was so focused on the red piece of material that she didn't notice Natsume was blocking her way and she nearly bumped into him.
"Oh, Natsume I'm sorry I was just thinking and…ummmmm…" what could she say she couldn't just say she was following a bit of fabric he would think she was weird or would he? Natsume looked at the girl in front of him and let out a soft giggle and was about to speak when
"NATSUME WHERE DID YOU GO?" uh oh Sumari was on the hunt for him now he silently cursed. Mikan looked at him and before she knew it he had taken her hand and started running with Mikan in hot pursuit. As they were running Mikan couldn't help but look behind her to see if that thing she saw earlier was still there, unfortunately it wasn't.
All of a sudden she bumped into someone and fell. She looked at who was underneath her and had realised that Natsume had stopped running and she had ran straight into him knocking him over and she landed on top of him.
Natsume could no longer hear Sumari's voice and so stopped running, he went to turn around and as he did he saw Mikan still running but not looking in front of her causing her to fall into him making Natsume loose his balance and fall onto the grass. The position they were in was not a good one considering Mikan had just been proposed to.
The fall ended up with both pre adults looking at each other in the eye both bright red from embarrassment as Mikan had fallen on top of Natsume with her legs in between his and her hands on his chest, while Natsume's arms were around her waist holding her to him so she didn't get hurt. They both looked at each other with embarrassment plastered onto their faces.
Mikan got up as after a while and dusted herself down before helping Natsume up and then he too dusted himself down. After he had done that Mikan spoke
"Sorry I didn't realise that you had stopped running, it was entirely my fault" she said apologetically Natsume just shrugged in response before asking
"So what were you looking at then for you not to have realised I had stopped running?" he asked with curiosity edging closer to Mikan.
"Huh, oh well earlier I saw something in the bushes and I was just wondering weather or not it was my imagination so I turned around to have another look" she said as she stood their dusting her self down a little bit more and then sorting out her hair which she really wished she hadn't have taken down.
Natsume was still walking towards her watching her sort herself out. He never realised how beautiful she looked with her hair down, she looked good with her hair up and a few strands framing her face but with her hair completely down it was as if she had fallen from heaven. He got slowly closer still taking in her figure with curves in all the right places, her brown hair flowing like a waterfall down her back, her creamy, pale colour that suited her so well. All the while he was getting closer to her 'it's now or never' he mentally said, as soon as he was closer Mikan looked at him and suddenly felt rather small and nervous for she had no idea what was going to happen.
She saw how close he was and backed up a little but almost tripped. At seeing her stumble Natsume grabbed her round her waist and pulled her back up. Now she was once again standing he could see deep into her brown eyes…wait he could see into her brown eyes...he looked at Mikan and realised he was inches away from her face his lips quite near hers.
Mikan stood up and noticed how close she was to Natsume. Her hands were on his shoulders for support and she felt his hand round her waist, she also noticed how unusual his eyes were compared to Ruka's. The she felt something hot on her face and looked down at Natsume's lips it was then that she saw how close they really were. For some reason that she could not explain she liked the feel of his hand round her waist and the feel of his breath on her face, those strong shoulders that she was holding onto felt so nice. She looked up and saw Natsume staring at her intently, and she just gazed right back at him.
Natsume had no idea what to do now if any one saw them especially her brother in law then they would get the totally wrong idea of what was going on. All of a sudden he felt her move to set herself right, so he let go of her as her hands came down from his shoulders and they both stood there Mikan with her hands clasped behind her back and Natsume with his hands down by his side.
"Th-Thank You Natsume" stuttered Mikan as she pulled out a leaf from her locks. Natsume suddenly felt a bolt of courage wash over him after she had spoken.
"Mikan I need to tell you something" he started as Mikan turned to look at him with her wide irresistible brown eyes
"Please continue Natsume" said a nervous Mikan
"I...I…" why couldn't he say it, he can't remember it being this hard when he told Sumari he would be her partner for any party they went to, oh wait..He was told to do that by his mother when he was ten that wasn't of his own free will this was of his own free will
"You what Natsume?" questioned Mikan who was still standing with her hands clasped behind her back as she edged Natsume to continue. Natsume didn't know what he was doing but he let his body take over. He took one of his hands and cupped her cheek with it gently rubbing his thumb along her cheek bone causing a line of pink to stretch across from one cheek, across the bridge of her nose and continue onto the cheek that Natsume's hand was holding when he spoke
"I know Ruka has just proposed but I need to get this off my chest…" he looked at Mikan with a deep gaze locking her eyes onto his as he finished his sentence "…even though I have known you for just one year I know how I feel about you…" Mikan looked shocked at what she was hearing, her hands were now loosely at her side and Natsume edged his face closer to hers as he finished with "…I love you Mikan Sakura Yukihara" his voice was so quiet she nearly asked him to repeat his statement.
That was it. Natsume felt like a huge weight had just been lifted off his shoulders and he was so close to her. He pulled his head back away from her ear and looked at her before placing his forehead against hers, his hand still on her cheek but he felt something small grasp his hand and he realised that Mikan had her hand on top of his that was cupping her cheek. He couldn't hold it any more her was so close to feeling her lips he almost pulled her into him and forgot that they were both quite rich and what ever he did, if anyone saw it, it would ruin both reputations of both his and her family's. He was brought back to reality again when Mikan started saying something
"Na-Natsume are you sure…" But she didn't finish her sentence for something red caught her eye. She moved away from Natsume still looking at the red ting that she saw. Natsume was confused he had just confessed and was waiting for her reply that she started but didn't finish but the look of curiosity on her face concerned Natsume. Eventually Mikan started walking forward and passed Natsume to where the red piece of fabric was and as she bent down for a closer look she caught the sight of a fluffy tail? She had just got close enough to it and then suddenly it ran off. Mikan looked startled but then stood up and followed it shouting "hey come back" and "Mr Rabbit wait" not even hearing Natsume call after her.
Natsume watched Mikan approach the thing that distracted her attention very carefully and he slowly followed her. He was so caught up watching her that he almost didn't notice that she had stood straight and had started chasing something. Feeling worried he ran after her shouting her name but she couldn't hear him, so he continued to follow her.
Meanwhile Mikan was still chasing the rabbit round the maze of hedges every so often she would catch a glimpse at the creature before it ran off again. She could vaguely hear foot steps behind her but she paid no heed to them and just followed the rabbit her long curled hair flowing behind her like a chocolate river, the bottom of her dress picked up and held in her hands as she ran round the maze after the rabbit. After a while she came to a field of flowers with a lone tree standing in the middle of the field. She gazed around at all the different types of flowers there were in this field and realised that a path had been cut through them. As she was looking around she slowly started walking along the grassy path her dress now back down to her ankles and her hair now in back in its place, she was about to take another step when a voiced caught her attention
"Mikan what are you doing and where are you going?" Mikan turned around to see a panting Natsume who had undone his tie and it was now loosely hanging round his neck, his once slicked hair now messy like it was when she first saw him, his shirt un-tucked from his trousers and all in all looking very untidy. She turned around and spoke
"I was following the white rabbit…" she plainly said as she turned back around with her back facing Natsume while she was scanning the field for that rabbit while she continued "…and this will sound weird but I think…" she said as she looked around and over by the tree she saw the rabbit looking at her holding up a watch and impatiently tapping it before it disappeared into a hole by the tree.
"You think what?" questioned Natsume to Mikan although she had started walking towards the tree with a look of curiosity carved on her face. Seeing he didn't get her attention he decided to follow her over there and just as he was about to ask the question again she finished off her sentence.
"…I think he was trying to tell me something, but I'm not quite sure" she said as she bent down to get a good look at the hole the rabbit went down. Being just as curious Natsume came up behind Mikan and looked down the hole over Mikan's shoulder. Unsatisfied with what she could see, she shifted her position over the hole with her hands either side of it holding her up so she didn't fall in. Unfortunately lady luck wasn't on her side today.
As Mikan lent over the hole to get a better look her hand slipped from the side of the hole causing Mikan to loose her balance and fall into the rabbit hole. Natsume wanting to help her grabbed her ankle as she was pulled in but unfortunately the force of gravity always worked against you and so down he fell into the rabbit whole behind Mikan.
