Mikan's Back


Chapter 7: Our Date and his arrival..

Everyone was staring at the scene in front of them. Fan girls, fan boys, normal students, even students who usually wouldn't care. All the Fan girls and fan boys fuming, normal students looking at a certain raven-haired boy w/ great disbelief and students who usually wouldn't care watch the two rumored couples w/ interest while they were walking hand in hand in the hallway. All of them have the same thoughts in their minds.

"The rumors must be true then.."

In front of them was the proof of the rumors that had been spreading like wildfire since yesterday.

Mikan Sakura was blushing and Natsume Hyuuga was smiling while holding Mikan's hand. How sweet…

The fan boys and fan girls were burning w/ jealousy but those who aren't fan boys and fan girls found it amusing that Natsume was laughing in the hallway and it's the real thing. Seeing him smile was really rare, heck..It's his first time smiling in front of so many people. They were amazed and they thought that it was really a great thing that they could see him smile because of Mikan.They're really sweet together.

Or so they thought.

Okay, so they looked like that when you tend to look at them. But sadly, that is not what it's like.

Truth is, Mikan was red because of anger at a certain fire caster beside her, holding her hand so hard, taking the life out of it while walking or more like dragging her.

Meanwhile Natsume wasn't even smiling, more like smirking if you look at him closely. Mikan was muttering curses while glaring at Natsume who kept ignoring her and smirking endlessly while walking.

A vein popped out of Mikan's head. "Will you bloody apologize bastard?"Mikan hissed while glaring at Natsume.

The raven-haired boy looked at her, a smirk still plastered on his handsome face. He answered flatly, "No."

Mikan was now boiling w/ anger but tried not to lower her voice so no one will hear her. "Apologize now pervert. Peeking in my bathroom while I'm taking a bath!"Mikan shrieked, the vein in her forehead starting to pulse.

"I didn't do it on purpose. I accidentally entered your bathroom."Natsume corrected her w/o looking at the brunette. "It's just that you're stupid enough to leave the door of your room and your bathroom open." he added nonchalantly.

"Why you!"Mikan fumed.

"You don't have to be really angry about it, I just saw you naked."Natsume drawled. Mikan's eyes widened. Before she can utter a word Natsume continued. "It's not a big deal and besides there's nothing much to see, well there's your flat chest and –"

He was cut off. Wait, Did he just tell her that she was flat chested? That wasn't even true, she really had curves in right places. He fought of a blush creeping on his cheeks whenever he thought about that incident. He really didn't do it on purpose. He went to her room and it was open, he checked the room but she wasn't there, so he decided to check the bathroom if she was there and to his surprise it was open so he went in. Then he saw her .He was cut off w/ his thoughts when he heard Mikan's voice."Stooooooppppp it!!."Mikan screeched loudly. Now, all the people are staring at them. Uh-oh.

Mikan saw this and started to blush madly because of embarrassment. Natsume look at her and managed not to roll his eyes w/ difficulty. He pulled her closer. "Sorry about that, she's just angry because I was teasing her about our interrupted session this morning." he explained while smirking at the girl beside him. The crowd gasped. Mikan's eyes widened while the whole thing sink in..Before she could open her mouth Natsume dragged her away leaving the crowd dumbfounded.


Meanwhile…

"Care to explain why the hell are we carrying so much stuff w/ us?"Ryoma demanded. Tapping his fingers impatiently, looking at the four boys seated in front of him.

The four gave him an apologetic look. Ryoma rolled his eyes.

"Ryoma it's for Mikan-chan so it's ok, right?" Ian laughed nervously looking from Ryoma to the three boys w/ a kind of desperation.

"You're the one who carried so much stuff Ian. Carrying tons of clothes. You almost brought your whole collection, we are not going to some kind of fashion show, you know."Ryoma grunted.

Ian frowned. "It's not much Ryoma, it's not even one-fourth of my whole collection for Mikan-Chan." he whined.

"Fine,fine.."Ryoma sighed in defeat.

Ryoma just can't believe that Ian made 300 pair of dresses as a present for Mikan.His friends were exaggerating. Gabriel bought Mikan new sets of gadgets though he doubted that it would be for free, knowing him, probably not. Akira bought Mikan dozens of manga w/c he knew Mikan would like and Erick made lots of sweets for Mikan.What about him? He probably had nothing. They left America a little late because of those four and he didn't even know they had presents for her so he was pissed off. On the other hand he was looking forward to see Mikan.He misses her so much and he wants to know the reason why she was lying. His thoughts were cut off when a man started to speak.

"Ryoma-bocchama, we will arrive at Japan this afternoon, we informed the faculty and the headmaster about your arrival." A man in black suit informed him.

"And our requests?"Ryoma asked impatiently.

"We had informed them about it, they're doing all of your requests as I speak Ryoma-bocchama."The man explained.

Ryoma snorted. "No need to be polite and serious Johnny. I told you to call me Ryoma."

"but.."

"No buts. Just do what I told you to."Ryoma said sounding pissed.

"Hai..R-ryoma."the man managed to smile at his master, he may be rude sometimes but he really is a nice person.

"Much more better."Ryoma managed to give him a small smile.

The man bowed and excused himself.

Akira looked at him and asked."Ryoma, what requests did you tell them?"Akira asked sounding curious.

"I asked them to have our own building w/ Mikan.Only for the 6 of us.."

"Really? That's nice Ryoma-kun! My working place?" Ian asked excitedly.

"Of course I can't forget it. You would definitely bug me if I don't give you one."Ryoma pointed out.

"You're so mean, Ryoma-kun!"Ian whined.

"Whatever." he replied flatly.

"Ryoma, my lab?" Gabriel asked w/ a don't-you-dare-forget-my-lab look.

"You have one so don't give me that kind of look."Ryoma huffed.

Gabriel looked contented. Now, Akira and Erick was about to bug him, oh.Great.Before they could ask, Ryoma answered they're unspoken questions.

"Yes, you have your own kitchen Erick and Akira you have a large place for your parties. No worries."

The two smiled at him. "Good." They replied in unison.

"I can't wait to see Mikan-chan!." Ian said grinning.

"Yeah your right. We'll surprise her. I hope she's okay"Akira added.

"Knowing her, she would be.."Erick muttered.

This made the four laugh.

"I really have to see her soon, she has lots of debts to pay." Gabriel mused w/ an evil glint on his eyes.

The four sweat dropped. "You know him." Ian reminded them. "Money sickness."

They laughed together again while looking at their friend who was now probably in money dreamland.


"Achoo!"

"Achoo!"

"Mikan-chan are you okay?"Anna asked in a concerned tone.

Mikan turned to see the pink haired girl w/ a worried look on her face.

"I'm okay." she assured her.

"B-but Mikan-chan you're red and sneezing."Nonoko pointed out. Anna nodded approvingly.

"I am?"Mikan asked curiously.

"Yes you are."Hotaru answered for them flatly.

This made Mikan glare at Natsume. It was that jerk! It's his fault. Thankfully they arrived at their classroom a little early or she would have died because of humiliation. She continued to glare at him and went to her seat after her greetings w/ some of her classmates. Her gaze met his. This made Natsume smirk. The nerve of that jerk!

She waited for their first period but she didn't care about the lesson though, she was thinking about something else. She stared at the vast space outside the window. "I miss them. I miss Ian, Akira, Erick, Gabriel and Ryoma." She sighed at the thought. "Now I'm in this stupid contract w/ Natsume, It has been really fun w/ him, but I need to find a way to end this, I can't do this forever, If Ryoma finds out about this, I know he'll be hurt and I can't do that, I love Ryoma and that's for sure." For one moment, she doubted what she said but before she got the chance to confirm what she was feeling, she heard a voice.

"Sakura!!"a voice yelled.

Mikan snapped back to reality only to see his oh-so favorite teacher, jin-jin w/ an angry look on his face. "I guess his the substitute for today in English." Mikan remained calm and replied. "What?"

"I called you 5 times already. Answer my question!."Jin-jin yelled furiously. "Ms. Sakura, you can't continue like this, this subject is one of the hardest one for students here in Japan, please tell me about yourself in English."Jin-jin ordered smirking.

Mikan stood up calmly w/ a bored expression written on her face. She didn't live in America for nothing. "My name is Mikan Sakura, I was in America for 5 years w/ my mother, father and my friends. I hate fucking teachers like you who loves to fuck frogs."Mikan said in a perfect English accent. The whole class was dumbstruck. Others understand what she said and others didn't understand a word. But seeing the flushed and embarrassed look in Jin-jin's face made them recover fast.

Hotaru started taking pictures, as usual.

His expression was priceless.

"You," he barked at Mikan. "What did you say?"

Mikan rolled her eyes and stared at him calmly as if she didn't say anything wrong. Her classmates continued to stare at them.

"So," he said, marching around her fuming w/ anger and turning to face her as though he were about to pronounce her under arrest. "So."

Mikan would have dearly loved to have said, "So what?" but she didn't feel that Jin-Jin's temper should be tested furthermore this early in the morning, especially when she had just said that her teacher loves fucking frogs. She therefore settled for looking politely innocent.

"You Sakura! How dare you give me that look!"Jin-Jin shouted.

"What look?"Mikan asked innocently.

Jinno looked outraged as if Mikan had just uttered a disgusting swearword. Shaking w/ anger, he was about to use his alice, but sadly his actions were interrupted when the door burst open revealing a panting Narumi.

The attention of the class was diverted to him, "Jinno-sensei, please come here, I have a message for you."Narumi said while panting.

Jinno glared at Mikan and gave her a were-not-finished-yet-look and made his way to Narumi.

"What?"Jinno snapped sounding annoyed.

Narumi leaned closer and whispered something to him, Jinno's eyes narrowed. "I understand, studying here, eh? very troublesome."Jinno said quietly. "Yes, he's studying here, and this will be very troublesome indeed."Narumi replied w/ a sigh, glancing at Mikan.

Mikan looked at Narumi w/ a confused look, "Why is he looking at me?", she asked to no one in particular. Then she heard Jin-jin say.

"Okay, Class, wait for your next period, and your free in the afternoon." Jinno said before he and Narumi went out of the room.

The room became noisy but Mikan didn't care. She ignored it and stared at the window still curious. The morning passed by quickly and now they were headed to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Neh, Mikan-chan, let's sit together,"Nonoko and Anna chorused beaming at Mikan.

Mikan nodded and they went to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Somehow Mikan, Anna, Nonoko, Hotaru, Ruka, Koko, Yuu and Natsume ended up seating together in one table.

The table was awfully quiet so Anna decided to start a conversation.

"Hey guys, Nonoko and I are planning to watch movies this afternoon, want to join us?" Anna asked looking at him hopefully.

"Sure, Anna-chan."Koko answered, smiling.

"Good!" Anna replied happily.

"Yuu-kun?"Nonoko asked.

"That won't be a bad idea. I'll join you."Yuu replied.

"Yes! Hotaru-chan? Ruka-kun?"Anna asked w/ pleading look.

"No."Hotaru answered flatly.

"Why?"Nonoko asked sadly.

"I will be doing something in my lab, he will help me."Hotaru looked at Ruka, Ruka nodded nervously. She looked back at Nonoko. "and besides, I don't want to interrupt w/ the four of you."Hotaru finished flatly.

Nonoko, Anna, Yuu and Koko blushed madly.

"I-it's not like that Hotaru-chan."Nonoko explained desperately. She turned to Mikan. "Mikan-Chan! can you join us?"Nonoko pleaded.

Before Mikan could speak, Natsume interrupted her. "No, she can't join you, we have a date."Natsume looked at her smirking.

Mikan looked outraged. "Date?!" she screeched.

"Yup, date." he replied dragging Mikan, "Excuse us."Natsume said before pulling Mikan outside the cafeteria.

They looked at Natsume and Mikan.

"Those two really get along well, don't they?"Yuu asked.

"Yes! They do!."Nonoko and Anna agreed happily.

"Yes, but not for long."Hotaru added quietly.

"Eh?"Nonoko and Anna looked at her confused.

"Nevermind."Hotaru said nonchalantly standing up from her chair dragging Ruka. "Excuse us."

"We should get going then."Koko said standing up.

"He's right, see you this afternoon, Anna-chan, Nonoko-chan."Yuu added.

"Okay." The two girls stood up from their seat blushing before leaving the cafeteria.


"Okay, everyone, we are here today because Mr. Echizen called me that his son and his friends are studying here, they'll be arriving this afternoon, you know what this means right?" The headmaster asked.

The people inside the room nodded.

The headmaster continued. " Things will be complicated from now on, even though their grandfathers are friends and founders of this academy, I know that you all know what kind of relationship those two families have, so I'm expecting you won't let your guard down."

The people inside the room started whispering.

"Ehem."the headmaster fakes a cough. "Am I clear?" The headmaster asked w/ an edge on his voice.

"Hai,"they answered.


"Natsume! What date are you talking about?"Mikan demanded.

"Date.Contract.Remember? Polka?"Natsume drawled.

Mikan sighed in defeat. "Fine! It's not even Saturday yet and don't call me polka."

"I'm bored so I want it today. I want to call you polka. But if you don't want it, I have many other pet names."Natsume grinned ticking off the possible nicknames he could call his so-called girlfriend. "Panda, pineapple, apple, melon, strawberries."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!"Mikan wailed. "You pervert! I have a name! It's Mi-kan!!Call me by my name, it's stated on the contract!."

"I know, but I don't feel like it, strawberries, you can call me anything you want. I don't care"Natsume said calmly.

"Ugh! You're hopeless, jerk!"Mikan said glaring at Natsume.

"Whatever, meet me at the grounds, 2:00 pm. Don't be late strawberries"

Mikan screamed inwardly as she saw Natsume smirk. Before she had a chance to retort, Natsume walked away from a fuming Mikan.

I need a pet name for that little bastard…

Something good…

Something unique…

Something…retarded.


Mikan went back to her room, desperately thinking for a pet name. She saw Yuri a.ka. Fujitaka-chan eating something.

"Yuri, what's that?"Mikan asked curiously. She saw a bowl of freshly cut kiwis! Mikan absolutely loved kiwis! Grinning, Mikan took the bowl out of the Yuri's hand. Plopping down on the seat, Mikan started talking.

(A/N: ki·wi fruit: the fruit of the kiwi plant, which has a greenish-brown fuzzy skin and sweet green pulp. Also called Chinese gooseberry. for those who don't know what kiwi is..hehe.)

"You didn't tell me we have this!"Mikan pouted.

"If I told you, you would have eaten it immediately, then I can't eat any of it." Yuri explained.

Mikan snorted. "I'm not that greedy you know?"

"I know your not greedy but you become abnormally greedy when it comes to kiwis." Yuri pointed out honestly.

Mikan sighed in defeat.

"So, no classes?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, I have a date to go to."Mikan murmured.

"Oh, Mikan, be careful, you might end up losing both." Yuri said quietly.

"What do you mean?"Mikan asked puzzled.

"You can't have both at the same time, you'll hurt the other, as long as Ryoma's not here it's ok but what if he popped out of nowhere how will you explain it to him? You'll hurt him, and you know he loves you." Yuri pointed out.

Mikan placed a hand on her forehead and sighed. "I know, Yuri, I'll think of something but for now let me prepare please?"Mikan pouted.

"Ok, I'll help you."

It had taken her an hour to get ready. Even if Mikan could sound like a tomboy, she loved fashion and dressing cute, with Yuri's help of course. She had on a cute jacket and shirt with a frilly skirt. Pretty casual, it stated that "I'm trying but not really" look, and Mikan felt it fit the afternoon.

Her hair was down like it usually was. She wore her favorite dark blue flats, and jewelry to match.

She looked at the mirror. "I think I look okay, thanks Yuri."Mikan smiled warmly.

"You don't look just okay Mikan, you look great!." Yuri complained.

"Thanks Yuri."

"Oh anyway, what would you want this evening? It's your favorite. Do you want veggie sushi or salmon sushi?!"

Mikan grinned. "Both!."

Mikan looked at the clock, it's 2:05. "Damn,I'm late,oh well,it's ok,at least he won't think I'm excited."

"Bye Yuri, I'll be back before the evening don't forget my sushi."Mikan said grinning at Yuri.

It hit her. " Kiwi…hmmnn…sushi…perfect!" She smirked making her way out of her room.

Yuri gasped. "Mikan!I forgot! Your mom called me today.."Too late Mikan was already gone. "she told me Ryoma's coming this afternoon." she finished quietly and mentally slapped herself for forgetting such an important matter.


Mikan walked casually to Natsume who's currently glaring at her. He looked at him. He had some nice dark blue shirt and he wore denim jeans to match. Everything he wore looked perfect on him. "Damn".

"You're late."Natsume said glaring at her. "15 minutes."

"Whatever, jerk. Let's go."Mikan replied nonchalantly.

"Jerk? That's lame, strawberries."Natsume smirked. When Natsume reached his car an expensive black Lexus, Natsume opened Mikan's door for her. She was surprised, but climbed into his vehicle.

Natsume walked to his door, sat in his seat, and turned the car on.

"I didn't know you were a gentleman,"Mikan smirked looking at Natsume.

"I am a gentleman, strawberries."Natsume grinned.

"that strawberries is getting annoying, You wait bastard, I'm going to give you a retarded pet name."


"Yippee! were here!!."Ian chirped happily jumping up and down.

Gabriel pointed his baka gun at Ian. "Ba-ka."

The three sweat dropped.

"You didn't have to do that, Gabriel, that's mean you know."Akira complained.

"He's acting like an idiot,"Gabriel answered nonchalantly.

"You know him Akira,Mikan's not here so he loves hitting Ian since then."Erick explained.

"Stop that, let's go, the limousine is waiting for us,"Ryoma said walking to the limousine followed by the four.

Fast forward..

They went out of the limousine.

"Wow! Mikan-chan's school is big." Ian commented.

"Yeah."Akira agreed.

A man w/ a blonde hair approached them happily. "Hello, Ryoma-kun, Ian-kun, Akira-kun, Gabriel-kun and Erick-kun! Welcome to Alice Academy Japan."Narumi greeted cheerfully.

"Hi,"the four answered him.

"Narumi, where's Kyouhei?"Ryoma asked bored.

"He's waiting for you. Come, follow me."Narumi replied. They followed him.

--

Headmaster's Office..

"Welcome to Alice Academy Japan!" The headmaster greeted happily.

"I know were welcome Kyouhei, cut the crap, my requests?"Ryoma asked impatiently.

"My, My Ryoma-kun, still impatient as always, your requests are complete, Narumi will escort you there, but before that, Persona wants to talk to you, Persona-sensei?" The headmaster called out.

A man in black appeared out of nowhere.

"Long time no see, squirts." Persona said grinning.

Ryoma snorted. "What is it?"

He smirked. "Since M.I.R.A.G.E is now complete I expect you to do missions for me, my favorite students."

Ryoma sighed. "We know, but let us rest for now, see you in my class." He said before disappearing.

"He's the same as always."Akira commented.

"Yah.He is, no doubt about that."Erick agreed.

"At least his a little nicer." Ian added. The three of them laughed.

"Ehem."The headmaster interrupted. "I suppose you're tired, so Narumi, please escort them to the building.

"Yes, headmaster."

The five of them w/ Narumi walked to the building earning stares from students. Especially, "Girls."

"Popular already? as expected,"Narumi said looking at the girls that started following turn w/ hearts on their eyes.

"Stupid fan girls."Ryoma said flatly.

"Ryoma, that's not nice, you have to treat them nicely." Erick said flashing a killer smile to the fan girls ogling at them. "Hi girls!"Erick greeted them.

The girls started screaming and chasing them. "Great, nice move Erick."Akira glared at Erick, sarcasm evident on his voice. Erick flashed an apologetic look on them.

"Run!."Narumi shouted as the girls chasing them increase their numbers.

"Ano..Has something gone wrong?" Ian asked puzzled while running.

"Oh no, Ian,"came Gabriel's voice, very sarcastically. "No, this is exactly what we wanted to end up."

"Oh sorry, can't you use your invention? We always use it on them every time girls chase us." Ian reminded him.

"Brilliant, for once your using your mind Ian." Gabriel said pulling something from his pocket.

"Invention no. 586,the portable ultimate baka gun." Gabriel started explaining.

Akira snorted. "There he goes again."

"Cut the crap Gabriel, we know exactly what that is, just blast them."Ryoma looked at him pissed.

Gabriel fired the portable ultimate baka gun, it released a big ball that split into tiny balls hitting every girl chasing them.

"What are you doing?"Narumi asked flabbergasted.

"For fan girls, don't worry, they just fainted." Gabriel assured him.

"Oh, that's good, you remind me of one of my students."Narumi looked at him happily.

"Who?" he asked curiously.

"You'll meet her tomorrow, but for now may I present to you, your own building."Narumi said pointing at the building in front of them.


They arrived at the central town and went to different shops, even though Natsume teases her nonstop, their "Date" was fun. Natsume bought her a stuffed toy, he bugged Natsume to buy her one and she was happy Natsume bought one for her. Since the stuffed toy was a little big, they decided to leave it in the car.

Mikan noticed some girls running like they were running for their lives.

"My friend called me, she said, they're some hot new guys at school. Let's go see them." A girl squealed.

Mikan heard the girl but ignored her.

"Jerk, buy me some fluff puffs."Mikan ordered him closing the door of the car.

Natsume smirked. "Aren't you a little too old for that strawberries."

"No I'm not, please."Mikan pleaded w/ puppy eyes.

"Fine, fine, I can't believe you're still childish."Natsume sighed in defeat.

They went to buy one and sat on a tree.

The two were silent until..

"You know, you're running in my mind all day… and all night…" Natsume sighed dreamily as Mikan choked on her fluff puffs for a split second. The atmosphere died when Natsume cracked up into hysterical laughing.

"That is so damn cheesy! I cannot believe you thought I was serious!"

"I did not think you were serious!"

"Keep saying that, strawberries."

Mikan fisted her hand. "You call me that one more time and I'll knock you into a concussion!"

"Let's see you try strawberries!"

"Are you testing me?"

"That I am strawberries."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Positive, strawberries."

"I swear I'll give you a retarded name!"

"Ahh, let's see you try, strawberries."

"Fine!" Mikan smirked."You call me strawberries and I'll call you…" She drew an evil grin, "Kiwi sushi."

Natsume paused. "YOU'LL CALL ME WHAT?!"


"It's big." Ian commented as he stared at the building in front of him.

"Three floors, all of your rooms are on the third floor, let's go inside."Narumi explained as he signaled them to enter the building.

They unpacked their things in their respective rooms. After they've finished, all of them gathered on the living room.

"Ryoma, are you planning to see Mikan?"Akira asked.

"Yes."Ryoma answered him, he looked at Narumi and asked. "Where's her room?"

"I'll drop you there."Narumi replied."Come w/ me."

Then the rain started falling.

"Oops, I guess we'll have to wait, Ryoma."

"It's ok.."Ryoma sighed.

"It's raining."


"YOU'LL CALL ME WHAT?"

Mikan grinned as she look at Natsume, relishing the moment she had caught her so-called boyfriend off guard. She knew that this was one of those rare moments where the almighty Natsume Hyuuga had been caught during one of his weaker moments and Mikan was glad she was the lucky one. She heard him gawk in confusion and she patted herself on the back.

"Ki-wi… su-shi…" Mikan pronounced every syllable in the word. Natsume was silent for a few more moments before Mikan frowned. Natsume was laughing.

"Isn't that cute," Mikan twitched as she heard Natsume speak, "strawberries for kiwi sushi!! Oh strawberries, you have such an imagination!"

"Natsume!" Mikan groaned as Natsume laughed out loud. He was having so much fun and Mikan knew he was having fun!

"Joking, joking strawberries, you're going to pay for calling me that."Natsume said grinning.

Raindrops started to fall. "It's raining strawberries, let's go."Natsume pulled Mikan but Mikan pulled him back.

"What the-.."

"Let's rain dance Kiwi sushi.."Mikan said cutting him off. "Please."Mikan pleaded w/ puppy dog eyes.

Natsume sighed. "Ok strawberries, but not for long."

"Okie dokie!"Mikan agreed as she started to pull Natsume.

Mikan started twirling around pulling Natsume.

They were both dripping wet.

Natsume looked at Mikan, he was happy to see such a gentle smile on her face again. He knew she loved the rain so much since they were young. He watched the brunette having so much fun under the rain.

Mikan saw him looking at her, she arch her brows. "What are you looking at sushi?"

"I'm not looking, strawberries, why would I? There's nothing to look at."Natsume replied calmly.

"You are looking at me. I saw you."Mikan fought back.

'No, I'm not strawberries."

"Yes you are sushi."

"No. I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No."

"Ugh! stupid sushi!,"Mikan stuck her tongue out.

"Shaddap strawberries."

"Natsume, let's go we might catch a co-.."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!"Mikan screamed seeing Natsume throw a mud ball at her.

"What the hell is that for?"Mikan asked her voice rising ominously.

"Nothing."

"You!"Mikan was ready to charge at him, when..

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!

(Thunder and Lightning strikes..)

"Aaaaahhh!!,"Mikan shouted. She ended up hugging Natsume from the back.


"Narumi, let's go,"Ryoma said impatiently. "Mikan.."

"Wait- ahhhhhh!"

Ryoma dragged Narumi outside the building.

"Mikan-Chan, she's still afraid of it." Ian said worried facing the three.

--

Narumi and Ryoma reached Mikan's room.

They were both soaking wet.

Ryoma knocked at the door.


"AAaaahhhhhhh!!."Mikan kept shouting while hugging Natsume from the back.

"Strawberries, your making my ears bleed you know, so, still afraid of it?"Natsume teased, enjoying every second of it.

"W-whatever sushi.."Mikan stuttered.

She heard Natsume sigh, then in a split second Natsume was carrying her bridal style, she didn't protest because she was too afraid to, Mikan clung on his neck her head rested on his chest. With this, Mikan felt secure. They reached his car, both of them dripping wet.

He put Mikan inside and gave her his Ipod so she won't hear the sound of the thunder and lightning. Natsume started his car and started driving.

--

The door opened revealing Yuri.

"Where's Mikan?"Ryoma asked panting.

Yuri looked at them, her face paled."U-umm, she's w/ a friend." Yuri lied.

Ryoma raised a brow. "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Yuri said firmly. "Just see her tomorrow, she'll be a little late today. she added. "I can't let him know this,Mikan's coming any minute now,I have to get rid of them fast."

Mikan and Natsume arrived at the academy, the rain, thunder and lightning had stopped. The two of them started to walk to their dorms.

--

"Is that so?"Ryoma asked still not convinced.

"Yes, you can leave now, Ryoma-bocchama, she's going to see you tomorrow." Yuri said trying to convince him.

Ryoma sighed in defeat. "Ok, let's go Narumi."

"Okay, bye Yuri-chan."Narumi said happily.

Yuri closed the door and let out a sigh of relief. "I hope they don't end up meeting each other."

--

The two started to walk inside the building. Mikan gasped as she remembered something. "My stuffed toy!"

Natsume rolled his eyes."Let's go get it in the car strawberries."Natsume said grinning looking at her.

"Ok, let's go sushi."Mikan agreed and they went back to the car.

--

Ryoma and Narumi had just arrived outside.

Ryoma smirked. "Thank you, Narumi-sensei."

Narumi smiled. "See you tomorrow, Ryoma."

--

Mikan got the stuffed toy then went back to the dorms w/ Natsume.

(A/N: that was close.hahaha)

Once they reached Mikan's room, Mikan leaned towards Natsume and gave him a peck on his cheek.

"Thanks, Natsume," and she entered her room.

Natsume couldn't help but smile as he walks to his dorm.

Mikan entered her room, her heart was beating fast. She saw Yuri w/ a pale face as if she had seen a ghost.

"D-did you see someone, Mikan?"Yuri asked stuttering.

Mikan arch her brows in confusion. "No, why?"

"Oh nothing," Yuri replied. "Mikan, I'll tell you something,Ry-.."

"Tell me that later, Yuri, I'm going to take a shower, as you can see, I'm really wet."Mikan shouted inside the bathroom.

"Yeah, right." Yuri agreed. Mikan took a shower and lied down to her bed. She was so exhausted.

"As I was saying Mikan, Ryoma went here today." Yuri said talking to Mikan but she saw our brunette sleeping peacefully on her bed. "Great, now I didn't even tell her."


Morning..

"Kyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!I'm late!!why didn't you wake me up Yuri!!"Mikan shouted running hysterically around her room.

"Natsume told me not to wake you up, he said it was his revenge for calling him sushi."Yuri explained calmly.

"You listened to that jerk?ugh.nevermind.what to do.."Mikan said running to the bathroom to take a shower.

meanwhile..

"Strawberry is not here yet."Natsume thought smirking.

He saw a blonde teacher entered the classroom.

"Class, I have a surprise for you! You have 5 new classmates!."Narumi said grinning at the class. The door opened revealing 5 handsome boys in their uniform. The girls started ogling at them except for one, the ice queen.

"Please introduce yourself."Narumi told them.

Natsume eyed Ryoma. "He looks familiar." he thought.

The five started introducing their selves.

A boy w/ red orbs and reddish hair started to speak. "Yo, Hi there, I'm Erick Johnson," he greeted, melting every fan girls hearts."My alices are mind control alice and bringing things into life."

"I'm Gabriel Radcliffe.My alices are invention Alice, speed alice and Voice pheromone Alice."he said emotionless.

A boy w/ blue-green orbs and brownish hair grinned. "Akira McCartney my alices are paralyzing, healing, and shadow manipulation Alice, nice to meet you."

Almost all of the fan girls started drooling at them.

Then, a boy w/ blonde hair and green orbs introduced his self. "Hi, I'm Ian Cravey, My alices are making pictures I draw into reality and alice of telepathy."he said smiling.

"Ry-.."

Ryoma was cut off when the door burst open revealing a panting brunette."Gom-,"Mikan didn't have a chance to continue as she found herself in a tight hug w/ Akira, Erick and Ian.

"Mikan-chan!, we missed you!" Ian said as each of them gave Mikan a peck on the cheek.

Narumi saw everyone had confused look on their faces except for the fan girls w/ looks ready to kill. "They are Mikan's friends when she was in America."

"Yah, he's right! We missed you Mikan." Erick and Akira chorused.

Gabriel gave Mikan a hug and a peck on the cheek. "Your debts Mikan,"Gabriel reminded her as she saw the evil glint on his eyes.

"I know,"Mikan pouted, before she could say anything, a hand pulled her, Mikan's eyes widened. She felt Ryoma's lips pressed on hers.

Her classmates gasped and someone was burning w/ rage because of jealousy.

Ryoma broke the kiss and put a hand in her hair, "Yo, how are you doing polka?"Ryoma smirked looking at the shocked expression on Mikan's face.

"Class, he's Mikan's fiancé."Narumi explained.

"Ehhhh??"the students chorused.

Sumire stood up, "but sensei I thought Na-"

Sumire was cut off when she saw Natsume pulled Mikan's hand. Ryoma started pulling the other.

"Hands off, who are you? Ryoma hissed.

Natsume glared at him. "I should be asking you the same question, who the hell are you?"

They started pulling Mikan's hand w/ force.

(A/N: Poor Mikan..)

They looked at each other, examining each other carefully. Both of them narrowed their eyes in realization.

"Ryoma.."Natsume said through gritted teeth.

"Natsume.."Ryoma spat.
