Well, thanks for reviewing! And I like the way I portrayed Shiro, because he doesn't know how he feels towards his father yet, since he has been gone most of his life! Oh, and I am so happy Khiara is in this! YAY!
Enjoy reading, everyone! I need to think up ideas for this on my own without paper after this chapter because I have almost finished the things I wrote on paper. It's a good thing I know half of the plans I had made for ir... HAPPY READING!!!
I guess this chap gets quite heated in the first bit... Oh, and Ruka is OOC in this.
Chapter Seven: Playing with Fire part 2
Mikan sat up in her bed as Natsume slept and she watched him closely, a small smile forming on her lips. He had become so handsome...
"Whadda you want, baka Mikan?" he asked sleepily and Mikan let out a small gasp, then she started to giggle as Natsume opened both his eyes and put his elbows on the mattress to stare at the blushing Mikan.
"N-nothing..." she stammered, which Natsume smirk and he sat up properly and made Mikan sit in his lap. He stared into her hazel eyes and she squeaked as he snaked an arm around her waist.
"You're a bad liar, Mikan. Tell me, or be burned baby."he hissed as Mikan giggled slightly and swung her arms around his neck, putting her head on his shoulder sweetly and smiling nicely.
"I was just thinking about how handsome you had become from these past few years, Natsume." she said sweetly and Natsume smirked,
"So, I was never handsome before, eh? Well, I can't accept that, Mikan Sakura..." he said softly as she blushed and he wrapped his arms around her waist and she gave him a small smile as he nuzzled her neck.
"You are! You always have been! I have never met anyone as handsome as you, Natsume Hyuuga. Your the most handsome guy I have ever laid eyes on. Although, I think Koko is also quite cute..." Mikan said, playing with his mind as he laughed and grinned, nibbling her earlobe.
"Don't mess with me, babe. I can burn you, y'know?" he said as Mikan giggled and kissed him passionately, then sat up straight and smiled,
"I'm gonna go and get changed now, kay? See you in a minute, honey." Mikan smiled a she stood up and walked away towards her ensuite, humming and smiling to herself as Natsume stared at his petite girlfriend. He was so happy to be with her.
Shiro then jumpeded onto the bed and started to wriggle under the covers as Natsume tried to conceal his laughter and took his little boy from under the covers and Shiro sat down next to him, looking a little worried and shifty.
"Hey there, Shiro. How's it going?" Natsume asked him, smiling.
"Oh, great, Natsume! I'm just gonna go out and play soon! I made a new friend!" Shiro yelled proudly as he stood up and Natsume gave him a slight half smile, looking kind of smug.
"Hey, that's great! You go ahead, kid!" he said happily and Shiro jumped off of the bed and ran past Mikan who had just finished in the bathroom. She watched her son run out of the room, beaming.
"Bye mommy! Bye Natsume! See you two later! Love you,... Mommy!" he cried, hesitating, because he didn't know wether to say Natsume and mommy, or not. So, he didn't. He only said mommy. Natsume looked a little crest fallen at that. The door slammed shut as Mikan walked over to the bed, raising an eyebrow.
"Where's he going?" Mikan asked as Natsume stared up at her.
"Baka, he's going out to play." Natsume said in a tone that showed she was dumb and Mikan pretended to be hurt at his words as she stared at him with large, sad eyes. She looked adorable. She pouted, too.
"Meanie! You never change!" she whimpered as Natsume laughed at her cuteness. He put his arms around her waist again and Mikan started to beam again. He chuckled under his breath and kissed her soft cheek.
"You know... He reminds me of you. Cute, kind, and incredibly stupid." Natsume said, and his response from Mikan was a punch on the arm and then his forehead. Mikan then folded her arms as he laughed at her stubborn nature.
"Evil baka! This is your son you're talking about... AND I AM NOT STUPID!" Mikan scolded him as her arms wrapped around his neck and she kissed him then smiled. He then pulled her closer to him as her cheeks slowly glowed a magenta colour.
"You look good when you're stubborn, and, we're alone..." he whispered playfully and Mikan turned purple this time, and he kissed her soundly on the lips, still bright magenta and purple coloured...

Shiro was walking towards the forbidden woods, that was the woods' nickname. He wanted to see Khiara again. He seemed to be quite fond of the young girl. He now knew she was the wood dwellers entrance guardian, and that she was so hard to get.
Shiro came to the entrance and looked in, and stepped into the woods, and suddenly, he froze, and Khiara appeared again, and glared at him coldly. She wasn't expecting to see him again.
"Hey! I thought I told you to never return! What do you want, Hyuuga Shiro? You are really bugging me." Khiara snapped coldly as Shiro stared at her, then smiled, and she un-froze him and folded her thin, pale arms.
"I came to ask if you would like to play with me! We can play tag, hide and go seek, or play instruments!" he said happily as she glared at him and grinned, shaking her head.
"You're one warped kid, eh? No, I don't play baby games! I'm a wood dweller, we do not indulge ourselves in such... trivial, activities. Now go before I kill you! And I highly doubt the students and teachers would enjoy seeing your dead body, little boy. Now leave!" she snapped coldly, pushing him out of her woods and then disappearing suddenly as Shiro blinked.
Shiro stood staring at the entrance of the woods for a few moments, the only thing that caught him off guard was the squealing of many fan girls in his year, and they started to run after him as he gasped.
"Oh, crud!" he yelled, and started to run as the 3 year olds ran after him. But sadly, he kept on tripping over air a few times, which indicated that he was definately Mikan's child, when, he was saved and picked up into the air as the girls stopped and pouted.
"Aw, shucks!" they said, and walked away as Shiro's saviour laughed, and he hugged his uncie Ruka tightly.
"Thanks, uncle Ruka. I thought I was beat!" he said as Ruka grinned and stared at the child as Shiro smiled and hugged him. Shiro loved his uncle Ruka more than anything in the world, to be truthful, Ruka was his faveourite.
And Ruka didn't lose all hope that he could become Shiro's dad. He knew Shiro was finding it hard to realise that Natsume was his true father. He had never been there, whereas Ruka had been there all of his life.
"So, why are you here outside? Seeing girlfriends?" Ruka asked as he and Shiro sat down on a close bench and the boy shook his head. Shiro told Ruka about Khiara, the girl he had met, and Ruka listened then smiled.
"Hm, she sounds rather interesting. But a little too stubborn, right? She reminds me of a certain someone..." he mumbled, reffering to Natsume as that certain someone. He disliked Natsume greatly, nowadays, because yet again, he had stolen Mikan. But Mikan loved him as a brother, or she didn't like him anymore after what he tried to do to her. Mikan was scared of him, a little, but he was Shiro's God-Father, and she couldn't stop him from seeing Ruka.
"Who? Uncle Ruka, you should meet her!" Shiro cried happily, tugging at his sleeve.
"What about Natsume?" he asked, coldly, and Shiro blinked at him, then hesitated a little as Ruka watched, and smiled. He was happy that Shiro wasn't attatched to Natsume-kun, that made him proud of the boy.
"To be truthful... I don't think of him as my daddy, yet. I don't know him. He abandoned my mommy." Shiro said quietly, and Ruka hugged him tightly, nodding and smiling as Shiro sighed sadly, then jumped out of his lap and smiled happily up at Ruka.
"Shiro! Oh, Shiro, there you are, baby." Mikan called, running towards her son as Shiro smiled and ran towards her, hugging her legs as she smiled, then looked up at Ruka, and gasped, her eyes widened. Then, Natsume appeared and glared at Ruka as Ruka glared back at him.
"Hello, Mikan-chan. You look well. Shiro was just telling me about a new friend he had made." Ruka said, smiling as Mikan nodded, then picked her son up and held him at her hip and kissed him gently on his forehead.
"Thank you for concerning yourself with my son, but... What friend? Shiro, you never told me about a friend?" she asked her son as he smiled, then ran towards Ruka, and hugged him tightly before running back to Mikan, who took her son by his hand and they walked away to the canteen to buy some dinner. Mikan was famished! Shiro, luckily, wasn't a big eater like his mommy.
Ruka walked towards Natsume and folded his arms as Natsume glared at him.
"Did you see how scared Mikan-chan was when she saw you, Ruka?" he asked him coldly, and Ruka grinned, staring at his former best friend.
"Yes, but Natsume-kun, it will be a short period of time before she realises I am nothing to be scared of. You see, Shiro-chan doesn't really see you as a father, now, he relies on me. So, before you know it, Mikan will be mine! She just needs the time to realise that she loves me, and only me. Her love for you isn't real, Hyuuga. It's FAKE!" Ruka snapped, and was ready to walk away, when Natsume stopped him, standing in front of the blonde boy.
"Why don't you just get a life! Mikan does love me, adn I love her!" Natsume snapped, Ruka laughed.
"Oh, contreir, Natsume Hyuuga, but Mikan may not love you anymore. You were gone for so long, she just can't trust you like she used to. Everyday, she would tell herself you would be back with her, and your child, and you never returned, until now. Mikan is trying to trust you, but how long will it be until she finally figures it out that love for you is just a toy!" Ruka yelled, and, Natsume punched him in the face, and the blonde flew backwards, clutching his bleeding nose.
"You... bastard! How dare you say this, all of these... LIES!" Natsume yelled, and threw flaming fireballs at Ruka who dodged, and grinned, pushing Natsume onto the ground and putting his foot on the man's head.
"Weak. Remember, Natsume, your power can kill you. And if you die... Mikan's mine. So, die, quickly, if you please." he hissed, and walked away as Natsume sat up, and growled. He really hated Ruka, and his former friend was playing with fire...

Well, how was itr? Bad, good? Medium? Yes, Ruka is OOC, but that's how I created the story. Oh, and when I first made this story I never knew whom Nonoko was, so she doesn't appear in this story unless I find a way to fit her in. Happy reviewing if you wanna review.
Mikan: Cool!
Ruka: Why am I the bad guy!?
Me: Because it pulls the story together, baka.
Ruka: WHAT!? Your warped...
Me: DUH!
Me: walks off
