SOMEBODY REALLY NEEDS TO SCOLD ME REAL BAD. I'm having my QUARTER EXAMS and I'm still adamant in writing this chappie. I think I got some lose screws in my head. Lol!

DEDICATED TO:

My cousins especially to another certified Gakuen Alice fan like her big cuz (that's me!), Ma. Flora Nina (but we call her Bambam for short).

Plus, since I'm running out of new people to dedicate my chappies, I asked Bambam to give me some names for my dedication. But stupid me, I accidentally erased the txt message containing the names on my inbox. REALLY SORRY FOR THAT BAM (I know you're reading this!). Guess I owe you one…

MESSAGE TO BAMBAM: Gomen. Ahehehe. To make up for my clumsiness, please TXT ME THOSE NAMES AGAIN and I promise to really dedicate the next chappie to them. That and don't allow Fanfiction to mess up with your exams (just like mine. Haha!)…

Just wanna clarify that I'M REALLY GONNA STUDY MY LESSONS after writing this. (Just incase you're gonna scold me for writing even I have exams.) -smiley face-

DISCLAIMER: Not mine. Don't own it. Never will.

CHAPTER VI: Mine

"Maybe… just maybe." Natsume muttered in the air.

What could have really happened if there was no Mikan Sakura in his life? Maybe he'll still have his pride intact. Maybe he'll still have his life in peace. Maybe he'll still have his favorite quietness. Maybe he'll still never know the cursed feeling of love. Maybe he'll still be the cold and rebellious Natsume Hyuuga. And maybe… just maybe, he'll not be feeling so guiltily torn apart.

What's the point in thinking anyway? She is real- Mikan Sakura is real. Mikan Sakura made him change, and yes, may-the-devil-burst-in-eternal-disease-of-laughter, but it is truer than anything that Mikan Sakura, noisy-stupid-baka-idiot-always-hungry Mikan Sakura, HAD. MADE. HIM. FALL. INLOVE. Yes Kami-sama, So Sick Inlove…

And that my dear friends is the reason why The Great Natsume Hyuuga himself is now standing inside Mikan Sakura's special star room. After hours of excruciating guilt and pain, he had at last made his way to her room, not caring if it's in the middle of the night or if Mikan would no longer want to see his cursed face.

He has got to fix things up.

When and how Natsume managed to break in Mikan's room is not an essence of this chapter. So for those logic-freaks, this is a love story and the author is fully stressing that anything is possible to any point. Anyway, back to the story… (haha!)

He was just standing meters away from her bed. He could see her alright. She was there on her bed. Natsume hesitated whether Mikan is asleep or not. She was almost sitting in her bed, hugging her fluffy white pillow while burying her face into it. It was as if she was dissolving her tears onto that pillow.

Natsume walked towards her slowly. His feet making low noises against the floor.

"You're trespassing." Mikan said slowly, still burying her face in that pillow.

"Looks like we're even." Natsume responded.

"I hate you." Mikan said to him as he sat beside her in the bed.

"Don't say that unless you mean it." He answered seriously.

"I mean it." She said, her head tilting to look at him.

"You don't. If you did, you wouldn't waste time explaining a while ago." He said looking straight at her.

"What if I hate you just now?" She asked at him.

Natsume sighed. "I might as well kill myself."

She looked unbelievably at him. 'What is he playing at?' Mikan thought about 'their' talk and her vain efforts to make up with him.

"I'm tired of this silly game Natsume. Can we at least get over this?" Mikan asked as she buried herself again on her pillow.

Natsume was now serious more than ever. "We have to talk."

Mikan let a faint smile. "We are talking Natsume."

"…" Silence took place.

"I don't have time for this." Mikan said to the silent male in front of her.

"I want you to be my girlfriend." Natsume said seriously.

There is no emotion that made its way into Mikan except shock. "What?!?"

Did Natsume really say that? Did he ever forget that they had fought just hours ago? Did he ever understand what those few words mean? These questions flooded Mikan's mind.

"I want you to be my girlfriend." Natsume repeated in pure crystalline clarity.

Surely if it were other guys, Mikan would hear other versions like:

'Will you be my girlfriend?'

'Will you be my girl?'

Or

'Please give me a chance'

But Natsume being his own self did not ask but stated 'I want you to be my girlfriend.' How possessive can he get? Mikan wanted to tear him on the spot.

"Do you even understand, Natsume Hyuuga, what did you just said?" Mikan asked flabbergasted.

"What do you think?" Natsume asked back.

Mikan was definitely taken aback. "This is stupid…"

"It's not stupid Mikan." Natsume simply replied.

Mikan shot him a death glare. "Then what?! I just realized that you are anything but predictable."

"I'm sorry." Natsume said out of the blue. But Mikan knew exactly what he was apologizing at. Fact is, she never knew nor expected him to say it.

"You are anything but predictable." Mikan said repeating her last statement.

"I love you." Natsume Hyuuga said to Mikan Sakura.

'You are anything but predictable.' Was the only thought that made its way to Mikan's frozen mind. 'No, he didn't just said it. Kami-sama, no, it couldn't be.'

"You must be drunk..." Mikan stated unbelievingly.

Natsume looked at her incredulously. "Darn it, don't pick this time to act idiotic."

Mikan was about to throw her fluffy pillow real hard on Natsume. But, realizing that throwing a pillow real hard would be stupid since IT IS STILL A PILLOW- can't even harm a skilled fly if there was ever such thing as a skilled fly.

'Maybe the fight should be over.' Mikan thought in her mind. She sighed. "When will you ever learn to ask a girl properly?" She asked half annoyed, half amused.

Natsume smiled. "Well, I know how to revise. How about this, 'I want you to be my girlfriend and I'm asking if when will you say yes'."

"You jerk." Mikan cursed as she smiled back at him. Guess she her heart doesn't want any more delays. "Fine now."

"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." Mikan said at him.

Natsume hugged her tighter while smirking. "No turning back now little girl. Let any guy kiss you and don't blame me if you found someone into ashes."

'Like I will anyway.' Mikan thought. "You forget, I can nullify." She said, now enjoying on his hug.

This time, Natsume looked sarcastically at her. "No guys can nullify for themselves either."

They both smiled at each other…
