Mikan's mother has cancer? Sumire and Reo are plotting to get Mikan Sakura killed because she refused to marry Reo and she's marrying Natsume instead? And why is Mikan having dreams about a certain raven haired boy? Oooooh... Love!
Me: DISCLAIMED! (weeps constantly)
Mikan: (smiles)
Natsume: ... (death glares)
Mikan: (hugs Natsume who blushes)

Lightning
Love
Mikan nor Natsume, not even the gardners, had been outside in the garden that day. That's because it was raining heavily and everyone who dared to step outside got drenched and smelled like a wet dog or sewer rat. Mikan didn't want her hair to get wet, either, so, they spent their day inside, in the warmth where they belonged.
The only concern was that wether there was going to be a thunderstorm later on, in the night. They hoped not, because the Princess was deathly afraid of Thunder and Lightning, only Natsume was oblivious to that important fact...
Natsume spent most of the day in the room he shared with Mikan, reading as he lay on his bed and flipped random pages of his manga that he owned, while the budding Sakura girl was downstairs in the piano room, practicing her latest piano song and trying to sing. He heard her voice a few times, and liked the sound of the song, it was sad and happy at the same time, but he just loved her voice.
Oh, was he simply falling in love with the girl? He shook his head, and sighed. He knew she would never fall for a guy like him, anyway. They had spent almost 11 years together and during that time, Mikan never liked him once. Although she showed she was kind towards him, which he liked.
But the prince had grown fond of his little Sakura blossom, oh wait... He said his... Did that mean he loved her more than a crush? He snapped his manga shut, annoyed with his brain which was saying words that contained mikan and, love... How did you kill your consciounce? Oh, wait, you can't! It laughed, evily. Why did his consciounce turn up around that certain time and not when he was 50, old and dead.
This was never going to be answered, he thought, sadly. But oh well, at least he could think of Mikan in absolute peace, that's when in walked the pretty little princess. Beaming as he skirts followed her, and she flopped on her bed, wiping her brow, and smiling as she closed her eyes.
"God... She looks so much like an angel when she has her eyes closed... I can hardly wait until I'm sleeping next to her..." he thought to himself as Mikan's hazel eyes opened, and she stared at him, then ran towards him and giggled. She had decided to forgive him and become his friend now, but nothing more. They still had little fights with each other, but laughable ones.
Mainly about Mikan's useless taste in underwear and how he always has to save her, and that was it. It annoyed the pretty princess to no end and made Natsume grin!
"Natsume! What are you reading? Those piano lessons were rough! Ooooh... Is it pretty and pink? Hey, let's see, let's see!" she cried happily as he growled, and pushed her face away playfully, and she started to feign crying as he hid the book under his pillow, and she stuck her tongue out at him rudely.
"Go away, annoying panty-girl. You always act so babyish, aren't you supposed to be my age? 16... Oh no, wait, they gave you a bird brain when you were born. Sorry, I forgot, panty girl." he said apologetically as Mikan gasped, and playfully hit him. She heard that sarcasm! She threw a pillow at his head and he hit it away, smirking as she threw another pillow at him, hitting him square in the face.
He pretended to faint as she smirked, sitting on top of him, not realising they were in a certain position. She grinned, and glared at him as well.
"You may be my friend now, Mr. Hyuuga, but I won't tolerate your perverted and horrible behaviour! And don't pretend to faint on me." she said, smirking as he rolled his eyes, and pushed her off him, not mentioning she had been in a pretty awkward position.
He enjoyed those few moments, though. He sat at the edge of his bed, as Mikan sat on the end of it and smiled towards him.
"Natsume... You're so mean to me sometimes, but I still forgive you!" she said, and then quickly ran out of the room as he watched her and smirked, he had seen what underwear she was wearing that day, and it happened to be strawberry's, his favourite.
He smirked, closing his eyes then laying in the bed and yawning, he was tired, but his mind was thinking of Mikan, all the way...
Mikan was in the kitchen, sneaking out jam and pudding to eat because she was bored out of her wits. But her mind kept on detouring from soemthing important, to Natsume. She had been like that for a few days now, and it was annoying.
She couldn't get that image of Natsume topless out of her head.
"Gosh, he's so hot... When we're married, I'll be able to stare at it all day..."she thought to herself, and she then snapped out of her thoughts, and gasped, shaking her head. How could she think that!? They were FRIENDS!
"Soon you'll be more than 'friends', you'll be freaking married to the sex bomb!" her mind screamed, and a blush creeped up her face as she sighed, giggling. Gosh, she couldn't wait... Mikan had grown to like him so muhc, plus, she had been having dreams about him.
They were kissing and doing... Stuff. (Explanation not allowed due to a T rated rating)
She drooled, slightly, then realised she was in the halls and quickly wiped her mouth and went towards the stairs, to her room that she share dwith Natsume, buy, she thought, the rain was really going all out.
She was just glad there would be no full moon that night, she was just hoping that it wouldn't start a thunderstorm, she would be hiding if it did. And... She thought Natsume would poke fun at her, no matter how nice they were to each other and how good friends they were to each other.
He still made fun of the scaredy cat princess. No matter how much she protested. He thought it was immensly funny and she just detested the way he treated her.
But, she loved it, as well...
Natsume thought about what had happened the week before, he had been so jealous of Mikan when that jerk Garet had shown up, he sighed, smirking to himself as he remembered that week...
A WEEK AGO
"Everyone! This is Garet! He's come from the Healing Kingdom!" Mikan said in a joyful tone as Natsume glared at Garet, he didn't lik the look of him, and he hated the way he had his hand in Mikan's own palm.
Natsume was jealous, it was obvious, even Hotaru and Ruka knew. Mikan was oblivious. Mikan gabbled on, but Natsume barely listened, he was endorsed in killing Garte in his mind.
But some of Mikan's words caught Natsume's attention, he just wished he could burn those words away and Garet, as well.
"He was mom's first choice in marriage for me." Mikan said, and his eyes started to twitch. Another man? Marrying Mikan? How could that even be possibly? It was only him who could have her hand in marriage, no one elses.
Natsume, annoyed with the presence of the latest prince who was obviously competition, got up and left the room as Mikan sighed, then smiled, hugging Garet's arm...
Natsume sat in the bedroom, reading as he grumbled. He wanted to kill Garet if he dared to toyuch his little Mikan Sakura. Natsume had realised he had grown feelings for the princess. He wished it was him who was spending time with Mikan, not the prince of rats.
He heard laughter in the gardens, and went to the window, spying on Mikan, Ruka and... Garet.
"Garet, you're so funny!" Mikan smiled as she hugged him, they seemed cosy to both Natsume, and Ruka's, disappointment, then, he caught Hotaru spying on them all, so, it was obvious Ruka was just a little toy she wanted to use for her plots, the ice princess was striking again, he thought. Like he cared...
But if she had pretty decent pictures of Mikan on Ebay, he would buy them, for sure, he sighed, and went back to spying on the 'couple.'...
"Did you have fun with your new boyfriend?" Natsume asked in a mocking voice, raging with jealousy as Mikan turned to stare at him, confused. She didn't know what he was talking about, to be truthful. And why was he so angry just before bed time, she asked herself dimly.
"Nani? Natsume, what's wrong?" she asked, and he stomped a foot.
"You damn well know what I mean, Mikan! You were all over that prince today, and yesterday, and the day before! You won't shut up about him, and you flirt with him!" snapped Natsume, and Mikan twigged what he was saying, she smirked.
"Natsume... Don't be stupid! Why would I like Garet!? We're friends! Plus, I can't like him in that way, I never will! If something hadn't turned up, then I would be marrying him, not you!" Mikan snapped, hitting him over the head with a newspaper as he grumbled, what was the princess on about, he thought, rubbing his head. He glared at her.
"What the heck are you spouting!?" he snapped to her as she growled, and clenched her fist.
"It's obvious! He's far more interested in you or Ruka than me! I mean we're FRIENDS! He's a gay, you dimwit!" Mikan snapped, and Natsume felt heat rush to his cheeks, god, he got it wrong.
It was a good thing Mikan was too stupid to realize he had been jealous of Garet, and wanted her all to himself. She never realized he loved her.
That's when he suddenly swept her into a hug, stunning her, her orbs wide in surprise as he held her close to him, burying his head into her shoulder as she gasped, then, her arms wrapped around him, tightly.
She felt so right to be like that, with him.
He didn't know, but for weeks, she had fallen for him. His stupid, perverted and annoying charms.
"I'm sorry... Let's be friends." he whispered, thinking that friends was as far as he could go with Mikan Sakura, his little princess...
END LAST WEEK
Natsume smirked to himself, he wanted to treasure that hug with her, he didn't know another hug would come, that night...
It was night, and the rain was heavy. Mikan sat in her bed, reading like Natsume was, their lamp on as they sat in stony silence. Mikan heaved a sigh, then looked over at Natsume and smiled. The winds outside were pretty heavy, then, she noticed the lamp flicker.
What the-? She thought to herself, and then suddenly, a noise crashed outside. Lightning. She screamed. A thunderstorm was brewing and she hated it! Mikan hid under her covers, quickly. Natsume looked at her.
What in god's name was she doing?
"Polka-dots?" he asked, not concerned, when another thunder sound cracked and lightning filled the sky, her scream was louder, even if it was muffled from the bed cloths. He then became concerned.
"Oi... Mikan." he said, and stood, hesitating. What would he do? He was shirtless and standing beside his bed, looking at Mikan's bed, he knew she was there, it was evident since there was a lump in the pink bed spread.
Thunder, again. Screams.
"Mikan." he said, and ran towards her bed, pulling the covers off her as she lay curled into a ball, crying her eyes out and screaming as she had her hands covering her ears. He realized she was scared, he climbed into the bed with her.
"Mikan, don't cry, don't be scared, I'm here Mikan. Stay calm, okay?" he whispered as she cried and shook her head. He lay with her and hugged her, his arms wrapped around her as he pulled the covers over his head and stayed with her, her head against his chest as she cried and hugged him back while he rocked her gently and stroked her hair.
It was... Comferting, she thought to herself. She wanted to stay with him, forever, like that.
As it got worse, her crying was less. She had Natsume with her to calm her down, to ease her fright and to cover her ears, putting his own hands over hers and to hug her. She kenw she was safe, and in... heaven.
The power had been out for some time. It was hours before the storm died down and the power returned. Natsume lifted the covers away as Mikan looked aroudn, then sniffed, her eyes still red as she hugged him tightly, and he smirked, stroking her long chestnut hair.
"Don't leave me..." she whispered, and he stared at her, still.
"I won't." he finally said, after a few moments, and Mikan sniffled, then looked up at him, giving him a small smile.
"A-Arigatou... Natsume. I thought you would make fun of me, because I'm afraid of thunderstorms and lightning." she whispered, he shook his head, and hugged her again, then she felt a warm feeling on her forehead.
He was kissing her temple, but she wanted his lips on hers, she thought. She pulled his head down, her tears had faded long ago, but her eyes were still slightly red. Yet, he still thought she was beautiful.
"I'd never make fun of you, Mikan. You're too nice." he suddenly whispered, and she smiled, then pulled his lips to hers, kissing him sweetly as his eyes widened. She was kissing him, and she hugged him tighter, he soon fell into the kiss with her, hugging her.
Mikan then went to sleep in his arms as he held onto her. She smiled, and so did he, and so did her mother when she found them holding each other in Mikan's bed, sleeping like a married couple...
