Chapter 7: I shouldn't have done that.
I don't own anything.
This is dedicated to my friend: KYLES02
Mikan is staring at the sky in her bedroom window when Natsume came in.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" he asked.
Mikan shakes her head.
"I 'm trying to remember something but I can't. Maybe Imai-san's right. I will, soon forget things. I wonder why this kind of thing happened to me. I'm really trying hard to be a good citizen and a good friend to all my friends, and…" her voice trailed off.
Natsume walk to her and hug her. Mikan hugged Natsume back.
"…and… I don't want to forget all about you."
Mikan felt Natsume's body tensed.
Mikan chuckled.
"Nah… I'm sure I won't forget you. Especially your crimson eyes."
"Hey, do you want to go somewhere else? It's Saturday." Natsume replied.
"I was planning on giving you my notebook and lock you up in your room." Mikan said.
"Oh, Come on!" Natsume protested.
"Actually, I have some plans with Hotaru."
"Oh, okay. Then I'm stuck…" Natsume's eyes gone all sad, but then it lightened up.
"With Ruka" he finished.
"Okay. You have to go now. I have to dress up." Mikan shoved Natsume on the shoulder to the door.
Natsume turned to face her.
"What?" Mikan asked.
"Don't I get a goodbye kiss?" Natsume asked, his eyes show he's making fun of her.
"No, now go!" Mikan said
"Come on, just one?"
"Okay." Mikan kissed Natsume on the cheek.
"Bye…" Mikan said.
"Okay, okay. See you later?" Natsume said.
"Yeah later."
Mikan in Hotaru's room
"Hotaru" Mikan whispered when she entered the room.
"Come on in, Mikan."
Mikan hugged Hotaru, which is for Hotaru is unusual.
"What's up?" Hotaru asked.
Mikan held out her hands, there's a tiny box. She sat on the couch and played with it.
"Natsume gave this to me last year. It's a necklace with a pink sakura petal"
"And…?" Hotaru asked
"I'm thinking of giving it back."
"What?" Hotaru said, shocked.
"Hotaru, we're not sure about me getting better. Besides, I decided to…"
"To…?"
"Nah… never mind."
Mikan stood up.
"I'll be back later. We'll go eat together, Hotaru. Bye Bye!"
Mikan walk hurriedly and was about to head to Narumi's Office when she heard voices:
"It's a bit strange, though. Natsume didn't attend classes in 3 days."
"Yes, and Mikan seems strange."
"Did you hear about Mikan's health?"
"What?"
"What about her?"
"They said she's in critical condition."
"Huh? Then why is she attending classes? You're joking."
"Wait. Maybe that's why Natsume's not attending class. He's taking care of Mikan at night, and he's sleeping in the morning."
"Yeah"
"Maybe., Geez, that Mikan sure knows how to make Natsume miserable."
"What did she think of Natsume? A doctor? Keeping him awake at night?"
Mikan turned back; she doesn't want to hear those people anymore. She wandered to the forest.
"Am I really giving Natsume so much trouble?" Mikan thought.
She felt her phone buzz.
"Hello? Mom?"
"Mikan, how are you?"
"I'm fine, Mom."
"Natsume's been taking good care of you, huh?"
"I…uh… yes."
"So, is there anything wrong? Are you feeling something weird?"
"Mom… I'm okay. Nothing seems unusual. Though, I want to ask something."
"Yes? What is it, Mikan?"
"I…"
"Go ahead, Mikan. I'm listening."
"In any case, Can I take a vacation? Somewhere? Far from Gakuen?"
"Why? Did something happen there?
"Nothing, Mom."
"Well, why are you asking such thing?"
"I… never mind."
"Okay. I'll request Persona to not give you some missions. I want you to rest. Okay, Mikan? Take Care."
"Bye, Mom."
She took one look of her phone. There's a message. She opened it.
To: Mikan
From: Hotaru
Where are you? I thought we're going to eat together?
"Oh, Shoot. I totally forgot." Mikan sharply said.
She ran to Hotaru's room and knocked.
Hotaru opened the door.
"Where we're you, Mikan?"
"I was walking around the forest and my Mom suddenly called. I'm sorry. I totally forgot about our lunch."
"It's okay. I'm ready now though. Where do you want to eat?"
"Ugh! I miss going to Tonkatsu-ya!"
"Yeah, we used to go their when we were outside Gakuen."
"But, can we really go there?"
"Yeah, I asked Narumi's permission to go outside."
Their driver (courtesy of Narumi) drove them to their destination. They ordered their meals and ate; Mikan gave Hotaru a rundown of what happened to her life. Hotaru did too.
"I can't believe Ruka did that!" Mikan said, and then she laughed.
"Me too"
"He really is a different person when he's with you."
"I think so, too."
"Hey, who are you texting?" Mikan said.
"Ruka. I told him to pick us up."
"Oh, okay."
They finished eating when they saw Ruka's car outside the restaurant.
They instantly paid the meals and headed outside.
Natsume was laughing when they got outside.
"You shouldn't have told them, Ruka. Those girls are dying for you."
Ruka was laughing too much he can't get out a single word.
"What girls?" Hotaru said, breaking the laughing scene.
"Oh." Ruka scratches his head and shot Natsume a glare.
Natsume just turned to Mikan and gave her a kiss on the cheek and whispered, "Hey"
Mikan just smiled.
They turned to the other couple, Ruka is explaining about the girls while Hotaru's preparing his Baka-gun.
Natsume took Mikan's hand and said, "We better go before we get ourselves involved"
"You are involved." Mikan pointed out.
"Nah… Yeah… A little bit, come on"
They took the other car and drove back to Gakuen Alice.
Natsume was intrigued by Mikan's behavior.
"You're back" He said.
Mikan immediately stops talking and asked why?
"You're talking; you're using your high piercing voice."
"NATSUME!" Mikan shrieked.
"Jerk!" she shouted again.
Natsume just laughed out loud. Mikan looked at him.
"Would he laugh like that even though I'm gone?" Mikan thought.
She felt a pang of pain in her heart. She promised not to leave Natsume. She promised Natsume wouldn't be alone anymore. But still, she can't be so saddle to Natsume.
REIKO's POV
"Just one last drink, Shigeru, and we'll wait 24 hours before the effects of the poison will beat her down." Reiko said to Shigeru.
