Chapter 7: "I remember you."

Natsume brought Mikan to his room. He putted her on his bed when noticed that Mikan was hot. She had fever. He took care of her.

Why did we ended up like this? Mikan...and he fell asleep near Mikan. Finally, she woke up and saw Natsume sleeping on a chair near her. "Hey, pervert guy." she said. Natsume opened his eyes and said. "I have a name, idiot." she blushed. Natsume stared at her. He noticed that Mikan became more beautiful. "Oi, Polka. You really don't remember me, eh. (sigh)" Mikan looked away. "I'm trying, you know. Ehm... I'm sorry for what happened before. hmm... Thanks for taking care for me. Can you please tell me what happened?" she asked. "Well. You had a headache, then you collepsed." he said. "Ahh. By the way... What's your name?" she asked. "You know... It's pretty ackward, but it's ok. I'm Hyuga Natsume." he answered. "Natsume?" she repeated. "Do you remember something?" he asked. "N...No. I'm sorry. Natsume-kun, you said you knew me... can you tell me about my past?" Natsume sighed... It was hard for him. So he stood up and called Hotaru.

Hotaru entered the room.

"Oi, baka. She wants to know her past go and tell her. I'll just take a walk outside." and with that he left the two girls.

"W...Who are you?" Mikan said.

"Idiot. Now, just keep quiet and listen to your story." Hotaru said. She sat on the chair near Natsume's bed. Mikan hid her face and after a few minutes Hotaru started.

"I am Hotaru. I was your best friend. You went in alice academy because you wanted to follow me. We were always together and I was surprised that you followed me just to be together as always..." and she told her her past.

Natsume was sitting under the Sakura Tree. Koko and Ruka were taking a walk when they noticed him.

"Natsume." both of them said. "Where's Mikan now?" they asked.

"She's in my room with the inventor. She's telling her about her past." Then Ruka and Koko looked at each other.

"I think that we should go there. It would be funny to see Mikan's reaction when she will hear about her stupidity. Hehe." Koko said. And they laughed.

"You're right. Let's go." Natsume smiled.

When they reached the room, Hotaru was done. Natsume saw that Mikan was staring at him.

"Oi, baka. Stop staring at me!" he shouted. Everyone laughed.

"Natsume-kun! Don't act like an idiot!" Mikan said.

"So, why were you staring at me?" he asked.

"I'm glad that Natsume-kun was in my past." Natsume didn't wait any longer and he hugged her.

(tsk, Hotaru forgot to tell her that Natsume, became her boyfriend before she left. Hotaru you really are an idiot...She just told her that they were best friends.)

"I'll do my best to remember all of you." she said while her tears fell down her face.

"I'll do my best too." He replied.

"We will do our best!" the other three said.

"For now... Let's just be like the old times. It would be easier for the idiot to remeber." Hotaru said.

"HOTARU!" Mikan said while laughing.

"Let's change the sitting arrangement... Hmm. What about this? Me, Mikan, Natsume, Ruka and Hotaru... If we stay always together like the old times it will be easier." Koko suggested.

"I agree." Ruka said smiling.

"Whatever" Natsume and Hotaru said without any emotion.

They spent the night all together. The next day they went together to classes.

"Good Morning!" Mikan said with her big smile like the old times.

Everyone suddenly smiled and ran to hug her.

"Mikan-chan. You're back! We really missed you!" Everyone said.

"I'm sorry for yesterday... If it wasn't for Hotaru and the others I wouldn't realize the importance of what happened." she said.

Suddenly someone interrupted their drammatic scene.

"May I excused Ms. Sakura?" Mikan recognized the voice. Natsume didn't notice that the person who excused her was Persona.

"Mikan. You have a mission. The AAO started to attack again. I need you now. Nobara and the others will come with you. You need to go now. Okay. Find an excuse to your friends. Then run to your room prepare yourself and come in the forest. We will wait you there." Mikan nodded.

"Guys. Sorry, I have to go now. I need to do something important. See you later." and she ran to her room. Everyone was surprised but they just ignored what happened and continue their chatting.
