"Whatever." Natsume said, typical of him. He was holding Youichi's hand, not letting go.
"Alright, let's go." Mikan said, she ran ahead of everyone else.

"Ne, Mikan, would you like to sing first?" Misaki asked. Mikan nodded and searched for a song she could try out. As soon as she typed in the code number, it asked for two Rb. since it was a duet.
"Hey, do any of you boys want to sing with me? I need a partner." She said, looking at the four boys.
Obviously, Ruka didn't want to, he was too, shy. Tsubasa was embarrassed since he couldn't sing well. Kokoroyumi stared at Natsume and smiled.
'Don't you dare Kokoroyumi.' Natsume said in his mind. He knew he was reading it.
"Hey, Mikan, Natsume would like to sing with you." Kokoroyumi just smiled. He knew Natsume would burn him, but with Mikan's Alice, he was safe.
"Go for it, Natsume." Ruka said. He smiled at him. Natsume didn't get it.
'I thought he liked her as well. Shouldn't he be jealous? Even Tsubasa was happy that the two of them would be singing.' He thought for a moment, but shoves it off. He got up, put Youichi down and took the microphone.
"Thank you, Natsume-kun." She smiled and looked at the big screen TV. Lucky for him, she couldn't see him blush.
The song started with a piano opening.
Mikan: We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
Natsume: No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
Mikan and Natsume: When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Life is a road, and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing at the beginning
With you
Mikan: We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Natsume: Never dreaming how our dreams could come true
Mikan and Natsume: Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And life is a road, and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing at the beginning
With you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's going to tear us apart
Mikan: (And Life…)
Natsume: And life is a road and I want to keep going…
Mikan: (Love…)
Natsume: Love is a river I want to keep flowing…
Mikan and Natsume: Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing at the beginning
With you
Life is a road, and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep going on
Mikan: Starting out on a journey
Mikan and Natsume: Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
In the end I want to be standing at the beginning
With you
'Wow, she's good. Her voice is far different from when she talks.' Natsume thought. As the song ended, everyone clapped, including the other customers and the bartenders.
"You were great Mikan, Natsume." Yuu exclaimed. He moved closer to Natsume and whispered. "If I wasn't mistaken, you wanted to hold Mikan and sing it again, over and over, just so you could be with her." Natsume's eyes widened.
'How did he know? Don't tell me…' He looked at Kokoroyumi; he was smiling at him… again! 'Kokoroyumi, you did it again, didn't you?' Kokoroyumi just nodded, still, he was smiling. Natsume wanted to burn him up badly, but he couldn't. Mikan was there.
"Mikan, I'm sleepy." Youichi said. Natsume just looked at them.
"Well, you can just sleep here. Don't worry, I won't let you go." Mikan said, she made him lie down on her lap and made him rest his head on her arm. She slowly rocked back and forth, as if she were a mother, making her child sleep. This made Natsume blush. Youichi saw him as his father. I guess he has found his mother. He smiled at this. Hotaru, Ruka and Tsubasa all saw that. They nodded at each other and stood up together. They headed for the washroom and started looking around, in case someone was listening.
To be continued…
That's it… I know, it's short…the part where Mikan sings 'And Life' in the parenthesis means she prolongs until Natsume's line ends and again in the part with 'love'… and sorry for the old song… it's from Disney's original, "Anastasia"… I couldn't find any other song that fits this anime… as you can see, the song kind of shows how they feel, you know, that they're in a journey together, starting as strangers, then they become closer… if you want to hear the story and imagine the two singing, feel free to email me or PM or put it in your review so I can email it to you guys :) free of charge… anyway, review please… flames accepted :)
