Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you

CHAPTER 4 "Seal It... With A Kiss"

"I...I can't go to that haunted house! You know, Permy, that I'm scared of ghosts, right?" I said as I began to run around like an idiot.

Hi! I'm Mikan Sakura. After my mom died, I was alone and sad so I wished upon my favorite star. (Sigh!) I wish I hadn't because he's a real pain in the neck! He's the reason why I am now in this mess.

"I know!" said Permy emphasizing the word 'know', "That's exactly why we chose that, idiot!"

"What???" I yelled, "YOU DON'T EXPECT ME TO GO THERE ALONE??? DO YOU? DO YOU???"

As my other classmates covered their ears, Permy began to speak again, "Calm down! We are going to allow you to get a partner."

"Whew! Thanks, Permy," I said in relief. Hotaru! Hotaru! Hotaru! Hotaru!

"Yeah, whatever! And don't call me Permy! That is not my name!"

"Sure...Permy..." hey! Don't blame me! I didn't mean to say that...I was just used to calling Permy, Permy. And I didn't really expect that Permy would act like a crazy cat---and dog.

Maybe you're wondering...why am I so scared of ghosts.

My flashback...

It was raining very hard that day. My cousins visited us that day and because we were so bored, one of my cousins suggested, "Hey! How about we just tell each other ghost stories?"

I stared at him for my mom had never told me ghost stories before...nor tell me about these supernatural creatures.

I actually thought at that time that ghosts are like the shows I'd watch every morning...you know, the one with Big Bird and Elmo. Oh! Sesame Street!!!

Ahem! Moving on with the flashback. I've always loved that show---back then---and so I thought, 'It'd be so much fun!'

"Okay!" I said with a smile painted on my cute face.

My other cousins looked at me in disbelief. What I also didn't know back then that Hiro, my cousin is the best ghost story teller EVER! Not really 'ever', just an expression.

My cousins ran away for they were scared to hear Hiro's ghost stories.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes! YES! YES!!!" I know, I know, I shouldn't be so excited!

"Okay, I'll start..." Hiro said, "Once, in the Alice High School, a group of students stayed for a group project. They were planning to do it in the Audio Visual Room. One of them placed the bag on a chair there and noticed...one of them was missing. And so, he went outside the room and saw the girl, a.k.a his classmate shaking all over. He then asked, "What's the matter?" the girl said that she can see ghosts and other creatures and that she just saw one. That ghost, she said, was always following him and pointing at him and laughing. The boy looked around him and saw that..."

Okay! Stop this part. This story had always creeped me out, if ever there's such word.

At that time, I felt like my heartbeat stopped. I almost fainted. And since then, I've always been scared of these ghosts.

I didn't even bother to stay around and find out what happened next.

And, to tell you the truth...Alice High School is the school I'm currently in.

Oh, God, help me!

...End Of My Flashback

The moment I saw Hotaru came in the classroom, I started begging her, "Oh please, Hotaru! Please be my partner!!!"

Hotaru looked at me blankly, "I don't care what other idiotic things you have planned to do and I'm not getting involved at it."

Hotaru walked to her seat and grabbed a book in her bag.

"I'll do self-studying instead."

I looked at the book she was reading and read the title, "Four-hundred and seventy-five ways on how to blackmail written, researched and revised by Hotaru Imai??? Is this really what you call self studying???"

With Hotaru's, "..." reply, I tried asking my other classmates but as expected, no one said 'yes'. And just my luck...Natsume entered the room.

"Natsume," I said as I approached him, "wouldyoubemypartnerforadarePermymadeforme?"

Natsume looked at my classmates breaking pencils in their anger. He gave me that...evil smile.

"Yah, okay..." he said. It was then that I realized that he only said 'yah, okay...' so that my classmates would hate me even more than they hate me now.

Oh, God! I need you more than I needed you before...

O-----------------------------------------------O

"WAH!!!" I shrieked as I stared at the oh-so-freaky haunted house.

"Quit your yappin', Watermelons," Natsume said.

"Wa...wa...WATERMELONS???" I knew exactly what he was talking about, "Natsume, you PERVERTED JERK!"

"Shhh," he said as he placed his finger on my lips... that was enough to make me blush.

"Don't you know...?" said Natsume in a freaky tone, "Ghosts...hey hate noises..."

My body started shaking all over...I was not born to do this!!!

Well, because I was so scared, I didn't notice that I just embraced Natsume until...

"Oi...baka!" he said flatly, "Let me go..."

I opened my eyes that was shut tight and looked at Natsume's handsome face. Ahem! Rephrase that please! I opened my eyes that was shut tight and looked at Natsume's face.

I blushed shades of red as I let go.

"Hn." he said as he walked to the haunted house door.

"H-hey! Don't leave me here!"

O----------------------------------------------O

"S-s-s-s-so th-th-this is h-h-how the h-h-h-haunted house looks l-l-l-l-like," I said obviously, my voice was shaking.

I didn't notice, again, that I was now embracing Natsume's left arm.

I blushed scarlet as I let him go.

"Natsume!!! It's so scary here!!! Can't I just wish us out of here???"

"No..." he answered, "I'm a human whenever I'm on Earth."

"WWWWAAAAAAHHHH!" I shrieked...what? I was so scared!

O---------------------------------------------O

As we continued walking, my shrieks began to sound louder and louder.

I can really tell that Natsume was getting annoyed.

"Would you just shut up!" he boomed.

"How can I shut up when my worst fear are ghosts??? At this point, nothing can shut me up!" I started saying, "They scare you to death! They kill you then they l---"

I didn't get the chance to finish my sentence for before I knew it; his lips were pressed into mine.

My eyes were wide open and my heart stared beating fast! I didn't know what to do!

As Natsume broke the kiss, I started blushing one hundred shades of red!

I couldn't look at Natsume straight for some reason...and I just couldn't speak. But I tried my best to ask him just one question, "N-Natsume...wh-why did you do that?"

"Tch. And you said that nothing can shut you up?" Natsume simply said as he started to walk away.

And of course, I followed...

O---------------------------------------------O

"Wow, Mikan!" said Anna and Nonoko.

"We never thought you could make it out safely," said Nonoko.

I just sweat dropped.

"Eh...surprises are in store..." I simply said.

Yep! Surprises all right!

Natsume? He just stole my first kiss.
