"How could a single chick burn like that?" Natsume thought, as he realized what happened a few minutes ago. Then a sudden thought came to his head.

"I'll leave this picture for this time, but next time, be ready to face the consequences."

Natsume wore a very serious and angry look on his face.

"Persona! What could you want now?" he said, as he ran to the direction where Mikan went.

As he reached his destination, he scanned around hoping to find a certain brunette.

"Looking for someone?" a voice said, stepping forward from one of the trees.

"Persona! What have you done with her? Where is she?" He shouted.

Persona just smiled, "if only you did your job well, this wouldn't have to happen".

Natsume, with no hestitation, lit a fireball on his hands and threw it directly at Persona. But before it could reach him, the fireball suddenly vanished into thin air.

"What?" he said, as Persona gave out an evil grin, but this time, their was something different. Rather than the hollow grins he usually give out, this time its really different. Somehow by the look of his grin, its like saying, that everything is going the way he wants it.

"I believed you have met the new anti-alice member, Mikan Sakura?" he said.

Their was something different about mikan and natsume, by just looking at her, knew that fact already. As she looked at Natsume, her eyes were filled with total hatred towards him.

"tsk!" natsume said as he stepped one foot forward. He was furious. He tried to throw another fireball at Persona, but this time, its bigger and it looks as if whoever touches the flame or get hit, will definitely burn! But mikan once again nullified it.

Natsume, seeing this sight, faced his head down with his bangs covering his eyes. Their was a moment of silence. But it broke when Natsume spoke.

"Hey polka dots! Could you be that weak to easily fall into an illusion and get hypnotized like that?"

Then he raced his voice, "The Mikan I knew could never be easily manipulated as a puppet, especially by a despicable puppeteer!"

He looked at Mikan, expecting a reaction. But all he could see is hatred written all over her face.

Natsume tightened his knuckles and lowered his head.

"If that's how you want it then…" he said, raising his knuckles and running towards Persona like a lunatic who lost his sense. Like running towards the danger that you could possibly have no chances of winning.

His knuckles dint even reach Persona, as he grabbed it with his right hand tightly and boxed Natsume on the stomach using his left hand.

Natsume opened mouthed as blood sprayed from his mouth. (in slow motion)

But that didn't stop him from reaching his goal. Natsume continued attacking Persona even if chance wasn't on his side. Even if Luck is the only thing he could depend on that moment.

Mikan just stared at them, her mind told her to stay put but her heart was a total reck! Seeing Natsume bleeding and hurting badly and despite those, forces himself to stand and fight. She felt her heart shatter to thousand pieces. Tears started flowing from her amethyst orbs. The picture of Natsume getting beaten seemed to kept replaying on her mind endlessly.

Persona then stretched up his hands as a big, bright orange light surrounded them. He was about to give Natsume the final blow until…..

"YAMERO!!!!!!!!!" a loud sound echoed through the whole area.

Their was a flash of white light as the orange one started to disappear. Time seemed to have stopped for them.

"Natsume!" mikan shouted, as she hugged him tight and started soaking her tears on his shirt. Natsume looked at her with rare gentle eyes and hugged her tighter. Its somehow like saying that's everythings fine now, you don't have to worry cuz im here by your side.

Suddenly he wide eyed and loosened from their grip. He stood up checking their surroundings. It was as if he was shot back from reality.

"he's gone! Tsk!" he thought.

He then heard something collapse. He turned around to see Mikan unconscious on the floor.

The next day

The young brunette slowly opened her amethyst brown orbs.

"Huh? Where am i?" she thought as her eyes scanned her surroundings.

"So your awake" a familiar voice said.

She turned her head seeing a raven haired boy beside her.

"Natsume?" What are you…………Persona! She exclaimed, as she sat up on the bed she was in.

"Its okey….he's gone…………somewhere" he said.

"Oh okey…..so where are we?" she asked

"Isnt it obvious? Were In the school clinic! Duh!" was his reply.

To his surprise, Mikan didn't get mad at all.

"Oh…okey. So how did I get here?" she asked

Natsume just looked at her.

"You didn't walk here alone, that's for sure. Sheesh! Wonder what you eat?" he mumbled.

"Whats that suppose to mean? She said raising her voice.

They looked at each other as their faces were inches away from each others. Then a certain thought popped in their heads (when they hugged each other with no hesitation.) they looked away as a tint of red passed their cheeks. The entire room was completely silent.

"i…" they said, in vice versa.

"You first!" Natsume said, cockily.

"Why……why did you still fight back even when you know your chances of winning are zero?" she finally asked.

He then stood up facing his back at Mikan.

"It was a risk I'm willing to take………..he said in hesitation……….for….YOU" he finally said.

Upon hearing this, Mikan smiled.

Natsume went out of the room.

Then her smile faded away.

"I may not know when to tell you how I really feel, or I may not even have the chance to, but no matter what happens, you will always be, the eternal and undying FLAME OF MY HEART".

the end!
