"See you later Natsume! I'm going to change" I said while leaving his room. The look on his face was priceless.

Mikan POV

I'm lying on my bed. Soon I'd have to get ready for the next ball. But I can't think of that right now because I'm confused. I'm confused about my feelings for Natsume. I was never the type of girl who is easily distracted or confused, but this is ridicules. I know I love Natsume and all, but there's something more to it. Like, I get butterflies in my stomach when I'm with him and my heart is racing like crazy, but there's something more. It's like I'm one of his crazy fan girls but I'm not. Oh god, I don't understand this! I thought while literally pulling my hair out, I don't know what's wrong with me! What's happening think of him 24/7, he's there when I close my eyes, in my dreams, in my nightmares, in my daydreams, in my diary ,HES EVERYWHERE I LOOK! I'm even thinking of him now! I know I love Natsume, but this is frustrating. I'll just as Hotaru, maybe she'll help, and after all she's not a genius for nothing.

I smiled at the thought of asking Hotaru as I got up and slipped into my dark purple dress. I went to the bathroom and slipped on some rose earrings, a bit of blush, mascara and foundation. I sprayed some rose perfume on and left my hair out. I heard a knock on the door. I went out of the bathroom towards the door. I opened it to see a guard. He looked at me with hearts in his eyes, maybe Nonoko created some sort of potion for him, I thought. He game his hand as he bowed.

"Mistress Mikan, may I escort you downstairs to the Halloween ball?" he said. I nodded, took his hand and smiled at him.

"Arigato, sir" I said while walking with him. We made it downstairs; vampires in beautiful gowns were all dancing. I thanked the guard and went through the crowd. I caught a glimpse of shoulder length raven hair. I went towards it. "Hotaru" I said to myself while making my way to her.

"Hhhhhoooottttaaarrruuu!" I shouted as I tried to hug her.

BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA

Three balls hit my head. I fell on the floor, it hurt a lot. "Mou, Hotaru, why did you do that?" I said while rubbing my head.

"Because you're a baka and you tried to hug me" she said emotionlessly. Then I remembered what I wanted to ask her.

"Hotaru, can we please talk in private" I whispered while pointing to her boyfriend, Ruka, who was talking to some vampires.

"Why, baka" she asked coldly.

"Please Hotaru, this is urgent" I pleaded. Hotaru signed and nodded. We went outside to the rose garden that I've never seen before. The crimson roses reminded me of Natsume. I shook my head.

"What do you want baka, you're wasting my time" she said impatiently.

"Ok, Hotaru I need help, I think something's wrong with me" I said hurriedly.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked.

"I don't know! It's about Natsume! His everywhere Hotaru! He's in my dreams, my nightmares, and my diary, my EVERYTHING! Hotaru something's defiantly wrong with me, please Hotaru help!" I said while tears stung in my eyes. Hotaru signed and pointed to a bench. We sat there.

"Nothing's wrong with you, baka" she said. I looked at her, dumbfounded.

"How can you say that there's nothing wrong with me Hotaru?" I asked.

"Mikan, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you, you love Hyuuga, right?" she asked gently. I nodded, why wouldn't I love Natsume?

"But mikan, let me tell you something" she kept talking, I nodded and paid attention "There's a few types of love Mikan" she said, few types of love? She must have seen me so she took some invention of hers out of her pocket. She fiddled with it and out came a piece of paper, she gave it to me and said "Invention No: 263, the question owl- it answers all your questions and prints them out on a piece of paper. $50 000 to buy, it's also fire proof" she said to no one. I sweat dropped and looked at the paper.

Different types of love

1 like-love: is a type of love that a person has for someone like an acquaintance or friend.

2 friend love: is a type of love that you have for close friends and best friends, it means you care for someone deeply without wanting anything in return.

3 family love: is a type of love that you have for your family, it's even stronger love than friend love. You have no particular affection to them, but at the same time you love them.

4 fan love: is a type of love that you give to your idol. It's a love that makes you obsessed with a person and makes you want to have a strong attraction to them, but it's all in your head, in reality you aren't obsessed with them at all.

5 god love: is similar to fan love except for you won't have dreams about him and its reality and not in your head, and you don't want to badly go to them and see them.

6 hate love: is a type of love that is very unique. It's a love that makes you hate a person so much to the extent that you start to love them and it would be weird without them.

7 love: is a normal type of love, when you are interested in a particular person and you want to be with forever and protect them and make them happy.

8 mad love: when you fall in love with someone to the extent that you start to go crazy over them.

9 head over heels love: is a type of love that makes you fall in love with someone so deeply that you start to hallucinate it's there and its everywhere and its making you go crazy and when your with them you feel in heaven.

10 drunken love: is a type of love to a random person, it's like you need to be with them now, but then you realize you never liked them.

I scanned the paper over and over again. I saw only 3 solutions to my condition. It's either No 7, 8 or 9. I don't know which one it is. I looked at Hotaru, who was eating crab brains. I sweat dropped.

"Hotaru?" I asked her. She nodded but kept eating her crab brains," which one am I? 7, 8 or 9?" I asked her. She looked at me with those emotionless amethyst eyes.

"You're number 9, baka" she said and gave me an isn't-it-obvious-you-baka look. I looked at number 9.

"EH?" I exclaimed,"IM HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH NATSUME!" I shouted. Hotaru took out her baka gun and pointed it at me. I quieted down, "Hotaru, I can't be head over heels in love with Natsume" I insisted. I'm not that crazy over him right? I thought.

"Think what you want to think" she said while shoving another spoonful of crab brains in her mouth. I shook my head.

"I'm going to prove you wrong Hotaru, because I'm not head over heels in love with him, I'm just in love with him" I defended. An evil glint crossed Hotaru's eyes.

"Is that a challenge?" she asked. I nodded," fine mikan, if you don't talk about Natsume for the whole week, you win, and if you do you have to give me $1000" she said.

It can't be that hard not talking about Natsume, right? I thought.

"Fine" I said.

"Starting from now, no more talking about Natsume" she said. I nodded.

"Come on, let's go inside" I said while dragging her inside. Inside everyone was still dancing. I said goodbye to Hotaru and went looking for Natsume. Its wasn't very hard to find him because he was sitting on his throne. I went up to him.

"Hey Natsume!" I greeted him cheerfully.

"Hn" he said while looking at the ball. I pouted.

"Ne, Natsume? Want to dance?" as soon as I said that, the music and the ball stopped. Everyone was looking at me and Natsume. There was an awkward silence.

"No" he replied. Everyone fell (anime style).

"Why not?" I asked. Everyone gasped and started murmuring.

"Tch, you're annoying polka" he said coldly. Ok, maybe that hurt a little but if what Hotaru said is true, that I'm head over heels madly in love with him, then this is nothing.

"I don't care that I'm annoying Natsume, you're dancing with me and that's that" I demanded as I used my super strength to drag him to the dance floor.

"Tch, you can't make me dance, polka" he said while standing there with his arms crossed.

"Oh, I bet I can" I said slyly. The music started and everyone started to mind their own business. I grabbed Natsume's hand and put it on my waist while holding the other in my hand. We stood there like that.

"We are totally dancing" he said sarcastically. I smirked as I stepped on his foot. He winced and glared at me, "what'd you do that for polka?" he asked angrily. I ignored him and kept trying to step on his feet. He avoided them. Then he started to step on my feet, I avoided then as well.

"Yeah Natsume, we are totally dancing" I pointed out. Indeed, we were dancing. A realization hit him as he smirked.

"You outsmarted me polka" he admitted, "but I'm going to get you back for what you did to me in my room" he said flirtatiously. Heat went to my cheeks at the thought of him doing something to me.

"y-y-your n-not going to do that r-right Natsume?" I asked nervously. He smirked.

"Thinking naughty thoughts now, polka?" he asked me playfully. I blushed hard. I looked away from his crimson eyes.

"N-no Natsume" I defended.

"I can do that if you want, polka" he said with a smirk. I blushed harder if possible.

"Who would want to do that with you pervert?" I asked while facing his crimson eyes. He kept smirking.

"Everyone in this room would, and weren't you the one who was thinking of perverted things, not me" he said.

"You were the one who suggested it" I defended. He shook his head.

"No, I said that I'm going to get you back for what you did to me, I never said we were going to do that" he pointed out. I signed in defeat as the music finished.

"Whatever Natsume, how are you going to pay me back?" I asked as he let go of my waist.

"I'll see" he replied as he went towards his throne. I stood there. Then someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around, a man with orange hair and a white tuxedo was bowing to me.

"Sorry miss, may I have this dance?" he asked as he stood up stretching his hand to me. His blue dazzling eyes looked into mine. His eyes were so beautiful, but not as beautiful as Natsume's. I smiled politely and bowed.

"Sure" I said while giving my hand to him. We danced, then when I twirled another man's hand grabbed mine. I looked into two hazel eyes. His hair was brown and short and he wore a black tuxedo. He smiled at me and we danced. And so that went on until the music stopped. The man I'm currently dancing with now bowed and left. Then that man with the orange hair and blue eyes came to me.

"May I know your name, miss?" he asked. I founded rather suspicious but I smiled anyway.

"Mikan Sakura, yours?" I asked.

"Kitsu Tabashi" he answered. I smiled at him.

"Nice to m…" I started.

"'Cough' 'cough'" someone coughed behind me. I turned around. My favorite two crimson eyes were looking at me angrily. I glared at Natsume.

"What do you want?" I hissed,"Im trying to make a new friend here" I said while pointing to Kitsu.

I smiled at Kitsu "sorry about him, he's just being his perverted, idiotic stupid self" I explained. Kitsu laughed and Natsume glared at him.

"I'm not allowing you to make friends with him" he hissed while pointing at him. Rage builds inside me.

"I can make friends with anyone I want, thank you very much" I said angrily while crossing my arms. I took Kitsu's hand and dragged him to the rose garden.

"I'm sorry Kitsu, Natsume is just like that" I apologized. He smiled at me, something Natsume rarely does.

"No, its fine, you two look like a couple" he said while chuckling. I giggled. Then he moved closer to me.

"Wha…mmmm mmm mmm mm…" I tried to speak but was cut off by lips crashing on mine. My eyes widened. I didn't dare to respond, I couldn't push him away, and I was numb. Just then, I felt sick. My stomach tied to knots and tears were falling down my face. I needed to puke, not because I ate something bad, not because I felt sick but because this guy is kissing me. it feels like his lips are putting something on my stomach muscles making them tighten and puke out everything inside. Dizziness and a headache were now in place. He broke the kiss. I let my bangs cover my eyes.

"s-s-sorry" he apologized. I didn't reply. I ran past him and back into the palace. I ran past the crowd and back into my room.

I jumped on the bed and cried. Millions of endless tears fell onto my bed. I kept crying. Millions of needles filled my stomach. I needed to puke, badly. I ran to the bathroom and sat in front of the toilet. I puked. The more I thought about kissing him, the harder I wanted to puke. Once I couldn't puke anymore, I wiped my mouth and lay in my bed. The revolting taste of vomit in my mouth wasn't the least of my problems. Now I have a major headache. I kept crying. There was a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said while trying to keep my voice even. The door opened, Natsume was standing there, looking worried. Once I saw him more tears and guilt build up as I cried. Natsume rushed over to me and hugged me. He made me lay my head on his lap.

"Shhhh, polka, you look ugly when you cry" he said in his own way of telling me that he cares. I cried on his lap, making his pants wet.

"I'm sorry Natsume" I said while sniffing.

"It's ok, tell me Mikan, what's wrong?" he asked gently. I hesitated, but then gave up.

"S-s-sorry Natsume, t-that guy from before, h-he k-k-k-kissed m-m-me" I said regretfully. I looked up, his face was stoic, but I knew he was hurt. His bangs covered his eyes,

"I told you not to make friends with him" he said quietly. It hurt me to see him like this, although he didn't show any emotions, it still hurt to see him suffer inside.

"I know Natsume" I said while lowering my head down. I wanted Natsume to hurt me, I wanted him to hit me or shout at me. I know it sound silly that you want someone to hurt you, but at this point I wouldn't hesitate and kill myself, then see him suffer inside because of me. I don't care if Hotaru is right. I'm head over heels in love with Natsume, and I'm proud of it, I'm so proud that I would kill myself for Natsume to prove how much I love him.

"You're so stubborn, baka" he said quietly. I nodded.

"Natsume, if you want, you can hit me, you can hurt me, anything as long as you're happy" I said. Natsume looked at me furiously and made me look into his now glowing crimson eyes.

"Do you really think that hurting you would make me feel better? Do you know how much it would hurt me if I hurt you? Did you forget that you're not only my possession but also my girlfriend?" he shouted angrily.

"Natsume, how much do you love me?" I blurted out unintentionally. He looked at me as if I was an idiot. I handed him the piece of paper that Hotaru gave me.

"There are 10 types of love Natsume, the love I'm feeling for you is No 9 according to Hotaru" I explained. He scanned the paper then looked at me.

"Tch, baka, my feeling for you is No 11" he said. I looked at him confusingly.

"Huh, there's only 10 Natsume" I pointed out.

"Because my type of love isn't on this paper, my type of love is called head over heels madly obsessed in love, which is a type of love that can drive a person so crazy about someone that sometimes they can lose themselves in it, and would do anything for the person they love" he explained. I couldn't help but smile as tears of happiness filled my eyes. I hugged him as hard as I could.

"If that's the case, then my love for you is No 11 as well" I said happily.

"Now, polka, since you've kissed 2 guys other than me today, there should be some punishment" he said evilly. I gulped; he's not going to do that right? Natsume kissed me passionately. After we broke the kiss Natsume led me out into the hallway. We stopped in front of the kitchen door. He opened it.

"Everyone! You can have a break now!" Natsume shouted. Every chef cheered and went out. The whole kitchen was a mess! Flour and dough was everywhere and spilled water and some there things too. Natsume gave me a broom.

"now, my dear girlfriend, since you kissed two guys today and made me worried and angry, your punishment is to clean this kitchen until its spotless and since we absolutely love each other, you and me would do anything for each other, right? So, once you've finished, you can go to sleep, now start working" he explained. He kissed my forehead and went out of the door. I registered everything he just said.

"NATSUME!" I screamed angrily. I signed and started wiping the flour from the floor.

6 hours later

I swept the last bit of flour away. I leaned on the broom and wiped my forehead. I looked out of the window, it was already light. I exited the kitchen and made my way upstairs. I yawned as I opened the door to my room. I jumped on my bed, forgetting to take off my dress, and fell asleep almost instantly.
