Chapter Seven: You Make Me Crazy
The next day, there were hoards of people crowding around the 3rd floor music room. Girls were squealing here and there, on their cellphones contacting any girlfriend they've got about the new "HOT" couple! As Tamaki and Haruhi walked in to accompany their customers, there were flashes from every direction possible. Pictures of the new couple were taken, sent to friends and whatnot. This new "forbidden" couple was the talk of the High School Department. As Haruhi dragged herself to her next customer, the female stared at her and smiled as she requested to join their conversation with Tamaki's. "Is that alright with you? I would like to ask you two some questions together!" She squealed happily.
Haruhi sighed in defeat and nodded as a beautiful smile graced her lips. The customer and Haruhi got up from their seats and joined Tamaki's table with three beautiful girls and the host himself. "Senpai, um. My customer wants to join our conversations... Is that okay?"
Tamaki beamed at his new girlfriend. "Of course, Haruhi!" He exclaimed as he pulled out a seat for her to sit and also for Haruhi's customer.
Immediately, the girls spoke animatedly and asked questions all at once. The two hosts, sweat dropping, tried to answer their questions and reply with smiles. This continued for weeks until the commotion finally died down as everyone became used to it. Of course, Girls were still hyper over this special occasion. They were just more self-controlled.

As Mikan ran in the garden while trying to catch up to Hotaru, she tripped over someone's foot. She fell face down on the floor and winced in pain. Suddenly, she heard an overly familiar voice mock her. "You just don't use your eyes, do you, Paw-prints?" At this comment, Mikan's face grew bright red from both anger and embarrassment. "I do use my eyes, NATSUME!!" she shrieked. "At least I'm not a pervert like you!!" She stuck out her tongue at him as she pouted.
Natsume laughed silently to himself at her cute face. He got up and shrugged. "I'm not the idiot that goes around tripping over people's foot and not realizing my panties are shown, Paw-prints," he whispered in her ears as he leaned closer. With that, he stuck his hands in his pockets and walked off in a cool manner. Mikan huffed and stomped away angrily. 'Mou! That baka!!!' She screamed in her mind.
The next day, as Mikan walks out of her house and begins walking to school, she notices Natsume ahead of her. She quickly catches up to him and pounces on him. "Natsume! Good morning!" she exclaims happily with a bright smile. Natsume turns to look at her with a bored face. "Hn." he replies as he continues walking. Mikan frowns and walks to school with him, side by side.
During their walk to the school, Mikan took glances at Natsume a few times before looking ahead of her once again. This went on for a few minutes and Natsume began to get irritated. "Polka-dots, is there something on my face?" He asked as he turned his head to face her with a slight glare. Mikan smiled and shook her head as she laughed. "There's nothing on your face! I was just wondering if you'd like to come with me to shop for clothes and a present for Haruhi-chan and Tamaki-senpai since Hotaru is too busy to accompany me tomorrow." Mikan held on a hopeful face as she continued to smile at him in anticipation. Natsume took one look at her and sighed. "I have time..." he told her.
"Really??" Mikan exclaimed joyfully as she clapped her hands together. "Great!! Then I'll come by your place tomorrow in the morning so remember to get up early." She said as she jumped up and down.
Natsume smirked at her comment. "You're the one who sleeps like a log and doesn't wake up early, idiot." he pointed out as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and continued walking, knowing she was about to turn red with either anger or embarrassment. "I am always awake by five or six."
Mikan puffed her cheeks out and huffed. "Well excuse me for appreciating my sleep!!" She screamed as she stomped over to Natsume who had gotten ahead of her. "I do wake up earlier now than I did a few years ago you know!"
"Whatever." Natsume said as he shrugged.
The following day, Mikan woke up at 6:30 a.m. thanks to her handy pink alarm clock Hotaru created for her. She had reluctantly gotten out of bed as she went to take a shower. Her shower lasted about half an hour before she came out wrapped in a pink towel. Mikan looked through her wardrobe and fished out a denim jean skirt and a bright yellow T-shirt with a picture of an orange duck in the front. She then slipped on a pair of baby blue sandals and went to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast. She made pancakes and served it with whole milk. When breakfast was ready, it was around 7:20 and she decided to go wake her grandfather up to have some breakfast. She walked over to his room and gently shook him awake. "Jii-chan, breakfast is ready." Mikan told him as the old man slowly got out of bed and greeted his loving granddaughter. After breakfast, Mikan bid her grandfather goodbye and headed for Natsume's house.
Mikan carefully, but loudly knocked on the doors of Natsume and Ruka's house. She knocked three times before Natsume answered. "You're here already?" He asked. "Who would've figured someone like you could actually wake early." He smirked as she pouted.
"Are you ready?" She asked as she ignored his comment and smiled at him, who nodded in return. Mikan's face lit up as she grabbed hold of his hand and led the way to the bus stop they'd be taking.
"Where are we going to shop anyway?" Natsume asked her curiously as he let her lead the way. Mikan kept silent for a few seconds before answering him. She turned to face him with her usual cheerful smile as she chirped, "We're going to the mall!! So fun!" She beamed at him happily.
Natsume shook his head, wondering what he had gotten himself into. He'd sure have a hell of a day to come... Shopping. With a girl, no less. Natsume breathed, hoping Mikan wouldn't exhaust him throughout the day, knowing fully well what women were capable of while shopping. Especially hyper young girls like Mikan.
When they arrived at the mall, Mikan immediately dragged Natsume to the clothing store. Natsume groaned as Mikan quickly ran to the section with skirts and dresses. Mikan pulled out a bright yellow dress that would reach an inch above her knees. It was a sleeveless dress with orange decorations on it. Mikan held it to herself and asked a bored Natsume, "Do you think it'll look good on me?"
Natsume shrugged. "Why not just try it on? Anything bright and childish like that would look good on you..."
"Oh really?" Mikan smiled. "Then maybe I'll just look for bright colors... Thanks, Natsume!" She exclaimed happily as she went to look for more clothing. Natsume sighed.
A few hours passed and they decided to go grab some lunch. They went to a nearby hamburger shop and sat down. They ordered a double cheese burger and a regular hamburger. A few minutes after they got their food, Mikan suddenly needed to use the toilet. "Uh, Natsume?" She looked at him as she stood from her seat. "I'll be right back... I hafta use the toilet." Natsume nodded and she walked to the bathroom slowly.
When Mikan reached the bathroom, she quickly slid off her pants and underwear. "Oh no..." She sighed as she saw blood on her panties. "I knew it was coming today!!" She groaned and took out a pad. Then, she quickly did her business and washed her hands. But as she left the bathroom, someone quickly covered her mouth and tried to drag her out. 'Who in the world...?' she thought as she struggled.
"Better follow us quietly girlie, or we won't know what's going to happen to your friend out there." the man growled. Instantly Mikan stopped struggling and allowed herself to be brought into a closed "store". She was thrown to the floor as the men smirked at her. "I heard people with Alices could be sold for quite a large amount of cash." Mikan's eyes held anger but was soon replaced with fear when she saw a man removing his clothes. Her hands were tied and there was duck tape stuck to her mouth. What was she supposed to do? The man removing his clothes grinned at her with lust. "Let's have a bit of our deserved fun first, shall we?" he suggested as he walked towards Mikan. She began to retreat but was soon backed against a wall.
"This is a sound-proof room, girlie." The man told her. "And it's locked too. There's no room for you to run. No one will hear you, so scream and cry out as much as you like." He was already upon her and was soon licking her neck. Her heart was pounding from fear. She shut her eyes tight and screamed in her mind. 'NATSUME!!'
Meanwhile, Natsume was sitting in his chair, annoyed with the girl who was supposedly taking quite a long time in the bathroom. "Where is she?" He growled in annoyance. He got up from his seat and went to the girl's bathroom. He knocked on the door and called her name. There was no answer so he knocked again. Still, there was no answer. He lost his patience and slammed the door against the wall when he yanked the door open. "What the hell? She's not in here!" In panic, he looked around the whole shop and didn't find her. He ran out of the shop after throwing money at the lady at the counter and began looking for her. "Mikan!" He screamed, hoping she might hear him.
Finally, when he ran past the closed, empty "store" where Mikan was being held captive, he felt her Nullifying Alice. Although there was nothing for her to nullify, it surfaced because of her fear. Natsume stared at the "store" and noticed it was locked. All the windows were covered with large posters that said, "Coming Soon". Natsume kicked the door down and ran in, just to see Mikan half naked with a totally nude man on top of her. Anger flashed in his eyes. "What the hell do you think you're doing to her?" He growled.
Instantly, every other man that had their clothes on charged at Natsume only to be defeated with a quick, powerful punch in the stomach or face. The nude man swore and quickly threw some clothes on as he got off of a tearing Mikan. All she was wearing was her bra, underwear and skirt. She looked so battered and frightened as she continued crying endlessly. Natsume's anger quickly changed to fury as he set the whole "store" on fire. He set the man on fire, burning the man's hair and eyes in the process. He burned his legs, his arms, he burned the whole man to a third degree burn. Instantly the fire alarms went off and Natsume grabbed Mikan and her shirt. He carried her out bridal style and ran to the only empty place at the time: the staircase.
Natsume set her down carefully, took off the duck tape on her mouth and untied her wrists. The rope on her wrists were tied so tightly, her wrists were bleeding. He looked down at her worried. "Are you okay, Mikan?" he asked. Mikan shook her head and continued to let tears flow down her cheeks. She hugged him and thanked him over and over again. "I was so scared." She whispered as she cried into his chest. "They caught me off guard and I was so powerless!" Her hands clenched his shirt as she shook from fear.
"Calm down." Natsume told her. "I can protect you." Mikan nodded and put her shirt back on after she calmed down a bit. Then she blushed. "You saw me looking so helpless again..." She mumbled.
He shrugged as he hugged her again, glad she was safe. "You make me crazy, Mikan." He whispered to her as he breathed a sigh in relief. "Be more careful next time!"
Mikan nodded. "I'm still hungry..." She told him. Natsume looked at her as if she was nuts. "Lets go get something to eat then." He sighed as he got up. For some strange reason, Mikan was still sitting on the floor. "Mikan. Get up. What are you doing?" He asked, a bit irritated.
"Um. I can't. Blood is coming out." She told him, blood rising to her cheeks.
Natsume looked at her with an emotionless face although he began to panic. "I thought you said you weren't hurt... If that guy did something to you..." He growled as he trailed off.
"I'm not!" She exclaimed. "It's just... It's just... I'm... It's... IT'S!! AHH It's my time of the month!" She screamed, extremely embarrassed with her confession.
"You can't be serious." He said, taken back. "I was so worried for nothing."
Mikan looked at him and her heart seemed to skip a beat. 'Worried...? He was worried about me...' She thought happily as she smiled a bit. Then, she remembered Natsume was still there with her. So, she crossed her arms and huffed. "Hey that's not true!" She exclaimed. After a minute though, she smiled at him. "But I'm glad you're so worried about me, Natsume!"
Natsume looked away with a hint of red in his cheeks. "And just a moment ago you were still crying like a baby." He then turned to her and picked her up bridal style again with a smirk on his lips. Mikan grew bright red and looked at him. "What are you smirking for?" She asked.
Natsume brought his head to her ears and whispered, "Your body has grown more mature, Mikan." Mikan turned scarlet as she starting whacking him. "YOU STUPID PERVERT!!!" She shrieked. "PUT ME DOWN, YOU IDIOT!"
Natsume stuck his tongue at her in a bored manner and walked out of the stairs and back into the mall with the hyper girl still hitting him.
