Chapter 3:To Central Town
"Kyaaa!!! That puppy look so cute!!. Right Natsume" "Oh, that kitten cute too!!"
Mikan was having such a great time except for Natsume. Mikan keep shouting whenever they saw a cute dress or skirt. "This is so boring," said Natsume. "Why did I agree in the first place?"
"Hey, Natsume take a look at this". Mikan was holding a cute bracelet that has Sakura pattern all over it and has her last name curved on it.
"…Tch, whatever. I don't have all day you know. I f you shut up, I will treat you fluff puffs"
"Really Natsume!! Yay!!"
"Stop, yelling or no fluff puff" as Natsume drag Mikan to a boutique. Named…
TAZUSA'S BOUTIQUE
"But, Natsume… This is…."
"Urusai.. " he yelled at her, pulling her inside.
"Hey wait! Natsume!"
"Ohaiyo guzamaizu!" beautiful women greeted them as soon as they came in.
"Hi! I'm Azu-Chan and I will be your attendant for your visit!"
"Good morning, Azu-Chan!" Mikan replied with a bow, but Natsume dragged her to one corner.
He quickly pulled some clothes from a shelf and threw it to Mikan.
"Dress her up." He told her and quickly went out the store.
"Na-Natsume!" Mikan called back but he was gone.
"This way please, Miss Sakura. Mr. Huuga would be back soon."
Mikan looked up to her with big eyes. "But how'd you know our names?"
"Well that's because I'm Tazusa Huuga, Natsume's auntie."
Mikan fell on her head but quickly stood up. "What?! Auntie??"
The woman smiled and pulled Mikan, "This way, please!"
"Well… I call myself Azu-Chan because I'm used to it… though it may seem awkward." Tazusa said with a pleasant smile. She had dark blue hair a little like Natsume's and she had gray orbs that twinkle every time she smiled. Mikan slipped into the mini skirt. It was a white mini skirt with rose prints. She looks really pretty… I wonder how old is she? Thought Mikan.
Both of them were talking about each other as Tazusa was helping Mikan with her clothes. Mikan really enjoyed talking with her. She made her feel she'd already been her friend for some time, even if they'd just met. Well, typical Mikan.
"So you're Mikan Sakura!" the woman said with a fine tone as she zipped up Mikan's light purple long-sleeved blouse.
"Hai." Mikan bowed again with a blush.
"Oh would you please do stop bowing?" she told Mikan with a chuckle, "My nephew's right! You are a little bit funny."
"Funny?" Natsume's actually describing me as a funny person to other people? And to think, this person's his auntie… He's always calling me stupid, idiot and even corny when I'm around… Mikan thought with a blush.
"He's always talking about you when he visits here. I reckon he even told me once he'll bring his girl friend next time he visits. And so far… And I'm quite surprised you're the only one he's brought. It's so undeniable that my nephew's a handsome boy, so I thought he has so many girl friends."
Mikan blushed even harder as she played with her hair that was now done in curls.
"But… I'm not his girl friend."
Tazusa gave her a knowing smile. "Oh… Really?" (She had a tone like that of when we know a person's lying and were actually squeezing the person to tell the truth.)
"Really!" her face was now like that of a rose.
"Well. If it's so. Fine! But I tell you now, you'll never know." She said taking a few steps backward as she examined Mikan. "Let me see you…"
After a few minutes, Tazusa gave a disappointed sigh, "You're so pretty I get blanked out what really fits you! All of this stuff seems to fit your body perfectly!"
Mikan faced the floor to hide her rosy cheeks. "Not really…"
"Oh! I know!" she disappeared out her fitting room's curtain and went back, carrying with her a baby pink blouse with long waste cuts. "Take those off! Quick! I believe this one would fit your beauty better!"
The little brunette slowly took off the purple blouse, revealing her body hugged by a white polka-dotted bra, and just in time… "Aren't you done picking your clothes for the tri-" as the blue curtains of her fitting room swung open, showing Natsume…
The three of them, Mikan, Tazusa and even Natsume were in silence, dumbfounded for a minute, until…
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!! Get out! Get out, NATSUME, YOU PERVERT!!!" Mikan screamed at the top of her lungs as she covered her chest with the purple blouse she'd just took off.
"Natsume! Get out!" Tazusa cried as she shoved Natsume with her outside the fitting room, but instead of being serious, she was giggling until she laughed.
As what happened before, Natsume were shoved out Mikan's fitting room, together with Tazusa who followed them. Mikan was left all alone inside, puffing with hot steams. A minute she was so angry, and then she wasn't! Jeez…
"Grrr… That Natsume! He's just… just…. Argh!" Mikan growled inside the room, "That guy's really something! And to think… he even brought to his aunt boutique his perverted plan! Such evil! I hate him! I'll really punch him so hard, it'll make his ancestors dizzy!"
She was molding her fists until she finally slipped into the pink blouse Tazusa gave her minutes ago.
"Anyway… I don't care what he does! Hmph!" she gazed at the mirror and praised herself, fluffing her brunette hair. "As long as he treats me fluff puffs later on!"
Composing herself, she slowly went out and gave a sigh. "Come on, let's go!" she then, put her school uniform and decided to buy it.
"Natsume…" Mikan whispered, forgetting what happened in the fitting room.
"Let's go." He finally said and dragged Mikan out the boutique.
"Wait! Mikan!" Azu-Chan yelled after them, but Natsume and Mikan were gone. "You forgot- oh well…" She said with a giggle.

"Natsume, wait…" Mikan said looking at his back as he dragged her. "What's wrong? We could just slow down."
"…" he was blushing.
"Natsume?"
"…"
"Here.." as Natsume give Mikan a small black box. "What this Natsume??" ask Mikan as she take a closer look at the box.
"Shut up, or no fluff puffs" answer Natsume
After Natsume treat Mikan a fluff puffs, they went to Natsume favorite spot, the Sakura tree . "Fluff Puff… I will never forget you…" said Mikan as she eat her sweet yet tasty fluff puff while Natsume reads his manga.
