Natsume POV

One week passed…

Two weeks passed…

Three weeks…

Four…

Five…

Argh!!! I can't take it anymore! I haven't spoken to sakuratears for 5 consecutive weeks already!!!! Seconds seemed like minutes, minutes seemed like hours, hours seemed like days, days seemed like weeks, weeks seemed like years!!!! Wait! I covered my face with my hands. Why am I thinking about her? We've only talked twice, why???

'Because you're in love baka'

Huh? What was that voice? Whose voice is that?

'Your conscience, I don't even know why you're the smartest in your school when you're even this stupid.'

Shut up or I'll kill you.

'Kill me? That's a good one, Natsume. How can you kill me when I'm your conscience? Kill yourself?'

Just shut up. I'm trying to think here.

'Fine, I was just helping'

You call that helping?

No one answered me.


-At School- (The next day)

Normal POV

"NATSUME-KUN!!!!" Luna shouted as Natsume walked into the classroom.

"Let's go" Natsume whispered to Ruka, turning their heels towards the door.

"Matte!!! Natsume-kun!" she said grabbing Natsume's uniform.

"What?!" as Natsume glared at her.

"Let's go shopping for the dance since its only 3 weeks away from the dance!" she said.

"Why would I go shopping with you?" Natsume said in disgust.

"Because we'll be partners for the Masquerade Ball, don't you remember?" she pouted.

"Huh? I remember having a partner for the ball," he paused "but that partner is not you" he said emotionlessly.

And the people around them gasped (mostly girls) and started to talk about who is this mysterious partner of Natsume.

After those words, Mikan Sakura happened to be inside the classroom and she got interested and listened in.

"B-but you agreed to be my partner!" Luna stuttered.

"Huh? Really? I don't remember agreeing to be your partner" he said.

"If we could see that scene again, maybe I can prove it to you that I did not agree" he continued.

"Funny. I happened to have the scene" Hotaru butted in.

"Really? Well then, show me that scene" Luna said.

"Here" Hotaru held a videocam in her hand and pressed fast forward to the scene where Luna and the other girls crowded around Natsume.

"Natsume-sama, please be my partner!"

"No, Natsume-sama pick me!"

"No, go out with me, Natsume-sama!"

"No way, I, as his girlfriend, should be the partner of Natsume-kun!" Luna Koizumi yelled at the girls.

"Right, darling?"

"Hn."

"See? I didn't even said yes. I didn't agree to be your partner" Natsume smirked.

Luna's face flushed red in embarrassment.

"Bu-but I'm your girlfriend so it is obvious that I should be your partner!" she said.

"Oh really? Then from now on, you'll not be my partner for the ball." he said.

"What do you mean?" she asked with a puzzled look.

"Don't you get it, I'm breaking up with you." Natsume said.

"Wait! You just can't do that to me!" her eyes brimming with tears.

"Oh, I'm sorry dear, but FORTUNATELY, I CAN" he said.

Luna's face was deep crimson from anger and embarrassment, and she burst into tears and ran outside the classroom.

'Oohh….the bitch got dumped' Mikan thought while snickering.

Natsume went towards his seat ignoring the people who stared at him.

"Natsume, is it really true? You have a partner for the ball?" Ruka asked him.

"Yeah" Natsume replied.

"Who's the girl?" Ruka asked again.

"I don't know" Natsume replied

"What do you mean you don't know?! Then does that mean you just lied to Luna??" Ruka asked (again *sigh*)

"…"

"Natsume! I'm talkin—" Ruka turned around and saw no one.

'I want to meet this girl who made Natsume agree to be his partner.' He sighed.

Natsume walked into his favorite place: the Sakura tree at the backyard of the school. He climbed up the tree and tried to sleep in one of the branches.

"Escaped" he murmured.


Natsume POV

Ayako, I wish you were here, thinking of a girl with long—

"I'll catch up, I just have something to do" a perky voice said.

I opened my eyes, and the girl I saw made my eyes widen.

I saw a girl with long brunette hair, and a very gentle face.

"Ayako" I whispered to myself.

I jumped off the tree and the girl jumped back, obviously startled.

"Oh, its you" I said, with a hint of disappointment in my voice.

"Of course it's me! Who else could I be?" Mikan said

"Someone" I said very low that only myself could hear.

"Who?" she asked.

"Nothing, besides why are you here?" I asked.

"Why do you ask?" she replied.

"Well, this is MY sakura tree" I said.

"You can't own this tree, the school owns it because its in their property, so its theirs not yours" she retorted.

"Whatever" I said.

"MIKAN!!!!MIKAN-CHAN!" her friends shouted.

"Well, it looks like your friends are calling you, see you…polka-dots." I smirked.

Mikan's face turned red and she stomped away angrily.


Normal POV

-Home of Natsume Hyuuga-

"Onii-chan!!!" Aoi said.

"Hn?" Natsume replied as he read his manga.

"Do you want to go to the attic with me?" Now, Natsume put down his manga.

"Why would I go to the attic with you?" he said.

"Nothing…but maybe you can see your old stuff there…" she replied.

"Fine, but I'll just power up my laptop" he went towards his room.

"Ok, just catch up with me" she skipped away.

After Natsume powered up his laptop, he went straight to the attic.

He saw Aoi rummaging through the boxes.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm looking for old things I can show tomorrow for school, you can help me if you want."

"Hn." He went to the boxes and looked for stuff.

Everything was old, but one thing caught his eye.

It was a box. It was obvious that the box was in the attic for a long time.

He took the box and blew the dust off the cover and initials were seen:

"N. A. A."

He opened the box and saw a picture of three children: a boy and 2 girls.
