Chapter Seven

Stuck with you

'Mikan looked over her shoulder, hearing the faint voice as her honey-brown orbs looked around for the speaker, but none was in sight. 'Strange...' she thought as she then turned her head to face her classmates and teacher, smiling.'

(Normal POV)

Hotaru glared at the blond as she was forced to lower her Baka Gun as her violet eyes seem to blaze with fiery flames of rage. "You're lucky I didn't beat you." she spat as Ruka rolled his ocean blue eyes. "You wish." "I don't have to." she shot back as Anna pulled her friend back, careful enough not to push her friend's buttons.

"Ohayo minna-san." Mikan greeted the class with a slight wave and a smile on her lips as Natsume shrugged, his hands in his pockets as his crimson eyes were now filled with boredom as he walked towards his seat. Hotaru looked at her best friend with a suspicious look as Ruka stood up, dusting himself off as he then walked towards his seat, which was next to the female inventor.

Jinno cleared his throat as he pushed his glasses back, his frown deepening as he watched all of his students settling back down as the frog on his shoulder croaked. He cleared his throat once more as he slammed the metal stick on the board, making everyone, excluded Natsume,Ruka, and Hotaru, jump in surprise.

"As you know, in a few weeks the academy will arrange a surprise for all of you students." the middle age man began as he paced back and forth with slow steps, his eyes looking at each student. "And that each student needs a partner for this event." This brought a sudden chatter among the students, making creases in his forehead.

'That will only make more wrinkles' Sumire thought as she chatted with her 'friends'. "And for those who don't participate in this event, well, you'll be missing out on the chance to get a decent grade and finding something that you might be looking for all your life." The students now looked confused as Mikan tilted her head to the side, making Natsume fight the urge to smile.

Hotaru seem to be not interested in this so-called chat as she read her book. The teacher frowned once more as he slammed the metal stick against the board once more, creating the whole class to silence and once more the frog croaked. 'Stupid frog.' most of the students thought in unison, making Koko laugh softly. "Ahem. Well, this will be enough for the day-" he tried to continue, but the students stood up and took their leave, leaving their frowning teacher to finish his sentence.

"And I must be getting some coffee." Jinno-sensei finished as the whole classroom was vacant, besides him and his frog. "Croooaaaaaaak!" the frog croaked as it slightly jumped on Jinno's shoulder. 'Teenagers.' he thought.

(With the group)
A group of seven teens sat outside, near a large fountain as the teens' group consist of Mikan,Hotaru,Ruka, Natsume, Anna, Nonoko, and Koko. The summer green grass glistened with small water droplets as green leaves fluttered about in the soft breezes as birds' songs filled with air with their sweet notes. The skies had several snow white clouds, making it the perfect day.

The raven-haired and blond beauty sat underneath a large tree as it's thick branches and leaves blocks out the sun as they enjoyed the day's beauty. The group chattered about as Natsume sat there, his hands behind his head as his crimson eyes were hidden behind his eye-lids.

He listened to the others' excited chatter. Mikan glanced at the raven-haired boy, her honey-brown eyes sparkling with innocence that a small child would hold. She smiled as she saw his calm relaxed face, but then shook her head as she turned her attention back to the conversation. 'Nothing like that...' she thought.

Nonoko,Anna,Koko, and Mikan talked about several topics, changing topics every now and again. Hotaru enjoyed reading her book as well as listening to her friends' random conversations, until the subject of Tsubasa's return was brought up.

"So Mikan-chan, did you know that Tsubasa-senpai is back?" the pink-haired girl asked as Mikan felt her smile drop a bit as Hotaru tore her violet eyes away from the pages. Silence was now in the air. Ruka blinked as his ocean blue eyes looked at each of his friends' faces.

Koko's expression seem to be calm while the two sisters seemed nervous. 'Of what?' Ruka asked himself mentally as Koko fought the urge to answer his question. The then looked at Hotaru, who was frowning as he saw her violet eyes fixed on her best friend.

His eyes finally landed on the brunette, who's smile was smaller than usual. Noting how silent it was, Natsume cracked open an eye, surprised to see the group being silent. 'Usually they don't shut up.' he thought as he opened his other eyes and sat up straight.

"Oi." he said as he caught the others' attention with his musical voice. "What the hell is the matter with all of you?" he asked as Ruka fought the urge to chuckle at his best friend's question. Nonoko threw a questioning glance towards at the female inventor, who shook her head.

"It's nothing." Nonoko answered as Natsume's crimson eyes narrowed. "Everyone, shouldn't we grab something to eat?" Mikan asked as she smiled, her hands shaking slightly as Koko was quick to act. "Sure!! I'm hungry!!!" he exclaimed as he got up, helping the two sisters up as Mikan stood up as well.

Hotaru packed her books in her bag as she slung it over her shoulder and walked beside the others. Mikan stopped on her tracks as she looked over her shoulder. Natsume and Ruka's breathing stopped at the sight before them. Mikan stood elegantly in the middle of the summer green grass, swaying in the wind as her brown locks flowed like water in the wind as her eyes were filled with warmth, looking at them. "Coming?" she asked softly.

Ruka glanced up at the sky, the sun was out. 'Damn it.' he thought as he gave his best friend a knowing look."You go on ahead, Polka-dots. We'll be there." Natsume said as he saw her nod softly, jogging towards the others. "They're keeping something from us and I don't like it." Natsume as he had his arms crossed.

"You don't like a lot of things, Natsume." Ruka pointed out as his friend smiled a half-smile, nodding in agreement. Natsume looked up at the sky was a large clouds formed, covering the sun from his view. "Shall we be on our way?" he asked as his friend nodded.

"Loser gets to deal with the fan-girls." Ruka said as the two raced towards the lunch room with a speed that made them blurs in other student's eyes, all but one. A pair of eyes watched the two raced as the person moved away to make room for them.

Natsume's crimson eyes widen as he saw the figure smiling at them as everything seem to move in slow motion as everything went back into their normal speed. "So that's what you're really are..." the figure whispered.

(Lunch Room)

The lunch room was buzzing with loud conversations and booming laughter as Mikan's group sat beside the window. Mikan watched the people pass by with their trays filled with food as she looked down a the bowl of rice, soup, an apple, and a drink before her. Her stomach growled as she sighed.

'Well, it's better than my no star meal.' she thought as she took a bite out of her apple. "Hmm, Mikan-chan, are you sure you're alright?" Nonoko asked her friend wit a concerned look on her face. Mikan smiled as she nodded. "Yeah, the food is alright."

"That's what she doesn't mean, Mikan-chan." Koko said with a serious expression on his face. "Are YOU okay with Tsubasa being here?" Anna asked as she stood up, her hands slammed on the table as her blue eyes looked at her friend.

"Yes, I'm fine." Mikan seem to force the words out as she smiled. A fake smile. Hotaru slapped Mikan's head softly as her face was expressionless. "Don't smile if you don't want to..." she said as she took another bite out of her snow crab.

'Thank you, Hotaru-chan.' Mikan thought as she took a sip of her drink. The doors creaked open, silencing the whole lunch room as Natsume and Ruka walked through the doors with their usual grace.

'Wow...' most people thought as Koko grinned at their thoughts until he read one thought that he does not want to mention ever again.

He shuddered as he felt slightly disgusted. 'Creepy.' he thought as Ruka was surrounded by squealing fan-girls. "A bet is a bet." Natsume said, loud enough for his best friend to hear as Ruka sighed,trying his best to ignore the squealing girls that was latched to his arms.

'What do these girls use? Super glue?' Ruka thought as he felt himself stop breathing, trying to ignore the close sounds of heart beats near him ad yet he still looked normal to the others' eyes, all except his best friend. Ruka smiled occasionally, making the girls' squeals louder as he his chest felt uncomfortable for no air was in his lungs. "Moooi!! Ruka-chaaan!!!" Sumire exclaimed as she pushed the other girls away and wrapped her arms around his muscular neck.

Ruka was startled a bit as he took a step back as he smelled her blood running through her veins. 'The bitch.' Natsume growled as he glared at the green-haired annoyance as he was about to throw that girl off of his best friend himself. He took three fluid steps towards them, but was stopped when he heard a scream of pain.

Hotaru lowered her Baka Gun after the fire as Sumire was on the ground, cupping her bruised cheek as her lips trembled. She stood up suddenly as she turned around and covered her face with her hands as she ran in the other direction as she pushed people out of her way as she slammed the door open, the soft faint footsteps trailing behind her.

"It's a good thing she covered her face, it makes her less ugly." Hotaru said in her usual tone as the other stared at her coolness. Mikan's brows furrowed as she looked at her best friend. "She may be the school's bitch, but isn't that a little harsh?" she asked as Hotaru threw a glance at Mikan, her violet eyes revealing no emotion, much less pity.

"Well, she does need to learn such thing called 'personal space'." Hotaru said as she stood up, carrying her trash on her tray as the roaring sound of thunder filled the silent air as the female inventor stopped beside Ruka, facing the other direction as she smirked. "You owe me five rabbits." and with that she took off, leaving the blond awe struck ed.

It took Ruka a few moments to let it sink in as he then turned around and chased after her while you could hear a faint 'IMAI' blending in with the sound of thunder as Mikan blinked. "It's raining..." she whispered as she felt someone behind her. "AHYA!" she screamed as she had her eyes closed as she karate chopped someone's chest.

Her hand was touching a muscular chest as she could feel it rising up and down, the sound of chuckling filled her ears. She cracked open an eye as the other one opened, her eyes blinking at the person who she just karate chopped. It was none other than Tsubasa.

'Bastard.' Natsume thought as he glared at the dark-haired male, his hands balled into fists. "Tsubasa-senpai!!" Mikan exclaimed as she bowed her head, muttering a small apology as Tsubasa received several glares from Mikan's friends, but none matched Natsume's death glare.

"Ah, Mikan-chan!" Tsubasa exclaimed as he was about finished with his chuckling as he then composed himself. "It's storming outside, isn't it?" he said as Mikan nodded in agreement as everyone was back into their usual spots in the lunch room, the buzzing of chatter growing louder.

Four pairs of eyes watched the two as they saw Tsubasa and Mikan, joking around as the same thought crossed their minds. 'Asshole.' Natsume took a large gulp of his tomatoes juice as he glared at the happy pair. "Mikan-chan, can you do me a favor?" Tsubasa asked, making Natsume's keen ears perked up as his eyes narrowed.

"Sure." "Well, can you get my bag in room 408?" he asked as he put on his pleading face as Koko stood up suddenly as he walked towards Tsubasa and glared at him. "In that kind of weather?!?!?! What kind of guy are you? To get a girl to go out in the storm to get a damn bag for you?!" Koko's voice was filled with anger as Tsubasa put up his hands in his defense. "Wait wait wait!! Hold on!! What if a guy comes along with her then?" he suggested as he tried to make it reasonable.

"What guy?!?! WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT YOURSELF!?!?!" Koko asked in an angered tone. Tsubasa took a step back as he kept his hands in front of him. "I need to run some errands for the Narumi-sensei and I can't right now." he explained as Koko blinked and nodded. "Ooooh okay, but one more thing.." "What?" "THEN WHO'S GOING WITH HERE, DUMBASS?!?!?"

Tsubasa blinked innocently as he pointed at Natsume as Natsume spat out tomatoes juice which landed on Anna and Nonoko, both surprised at his action. "WHAT?!?!" Mikan and Natsume screamed in unison, looking at Tsubasa incredulously.

"Unless Natsume too much of a wimp to take care of one girl." Tsubasa said in a challenging tone as Natsume gave him a glare. 'More like an idiot.' he thought as he gritted his teeth, the feelings of his fangs irritating him as he glared at Tsubasa with his crimson eyes.

"Fine. Come on, idiot." Natsume said through his gritted teeth, surprising everyone as he grabbed Mikan's warm hand and dragged her towards the door. "HEY WAIT!!! DON'T I GET A SAY IN THIS?!?!?!" Mikan asked in a desperate yell as she was dragged off by Natsume.

"No." the others said in unison as the waved slightly, watching them take off as there were several yells from their friends, blending with the roar of thunder.

(With Mikan and Natsume)

Rain drops fell on Mikan's skin as her brown locks were darker than usual as she shivered from the rain's coldness as she held onto Natsume's cold hand as her vision was blurred by the storm's raindrops as she felt the cool wind on her face as she was being dragged by Natsume. "What room was it?!" Natsume yelled over the thunder.

"ROOM 408!!!" Mikan yelled as she saw Natsume's head nod slightly as they ran towards a building, sheltered by the ceilings of the outside hallways of the academy as they walked beside each other, their footsteps echoing throughout the eerie halls.

The two looked at each number of the doors as small lights were lit in the halls, enough for them to see. "404...407..." Natsume whispered softly as his eyes looked at each number as he was still holding onto Mikan's hand as if it was the most normal thing in the world!

"408!!!" the two exclaimed in unison as the both looked at each other, laughing softly as Natsume went back to his senses and realized who he was with as he composed himself. Mikan didn't stop laughing as she reached for the door knob as she turned the handle and opened the door as the door creaked.

The room was dark as the only source of light in the room was a large blue candle burning as there was a large bag on one of the desks on the dark room as the roaring thunder made Mikan jump while flashes of lightening made her vision blur.

The two walked inside the dark, eerie room as the sound of their breathing broke the silence as lightening flashed once more as they felt a sudden wind rushing through them as the door was slammed shut. Mikan's eyes widen as she let go of Natsume's hand and rushed towards the closed door, her hands shaking the door knob as her brown eyes were filled with panic.

"Nonononnononono!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!" she yelled as she turned around, looking at Natsume's blank face as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. "TELL ME I'M NOT STUCK WITH YOU!!!!" Mikan yelled as she saw him shrug. 'Sorry to burst your bubble, but we are." he said as Mikan then let out a blood curling scream.

(With Tsubasa and the Others)

The other blinked as they raised a brow in unison. "Did you...Nah." they all said in unison as they all took a sip of their hot chocolate as the enjoyed each other companies in the lunch room.

Hoped you liked it!!! R&R!!!
