Sorry for being so late, I really need to work on my So many reviews! Thank you! Also to the people who followed/favourited this story or me. It's nearly the holidays for me! But it's only 2 weeks, I hope I will be able to update like 3 times during the holidays. I present you chapter 8!


Chapter 8

"Hotaru? What's wrong?" Mikan asked. Hotaru let go of Mikan's hand, she slowed to a walk with Mikan following her. "How much did you hear of the conversation?" Hotaru inquired.

"Conversation? Oh, Natsume and Axel-kun's," Mikan answered her own question, "I only heard Natsume say Lina-chan's and my name and Axel-kun's response," Mikan said.

"That's it?"

"Yea," Mikan replied. They walked around the block and continued to go to class. "Ok, oh, do you know Tsuchimoto's alice?" Hotaru said.

"No, I thought you would've researched it already," Mikan assumed. They took a flight of stairs to their class. Hotaru didn't answer so Mikan took it as a yes. "So what is his alice?" Mikan asked. They stood outside of the class, with Mikan watching Hotaru, waiting for Hotaru's answer. Instead, Hotaru opened the door and stepped in. Mikan, not forgetting that there were other people around, followed Hotaru into the class.

Within minutes, the school was filled with students here and there. The classroom gradually filled up as time passed. The teacher came in a few minutes after the bell, as the class started. The teacher was old and had bad hearing, the class began to talk whereas, Mikan glanced at the empty spot next to her, where Natsume was supposed to be, and turned back facing the front.

After something like about 20 minutes into the class, Mikan became bored. She looked out the window and started daydreaming, despite the noise, she couldn't concentrate on the class.

"Gya!" Mikan exclaimed, gaining people's attention. She had felt someone poke her to the side of her stomach. She turned around and saw a bit of silver hair. She looked down and saw Youichi sitting next to her. "You-chan!" she said. A second of silence followed that and girls in the class started to fawn over Youichi. "Onee-chan, where is Onii-chan?" he asked. "Onii-chan? You mean Natsume?" Mikan asked. Youichi nodded. "Gomen, You-chan. I don't know where he is," she replied. Behind Youichi, small ghosts appeared as tears started to form in the corner of his eyes. "You can stay here with me until Natsume comes back," Mikan said quickly. Youichi lifted his head to look at Mikan, "Really?" he said.

"Yes, you can," Mikan smiled. Youichi smiled and crawled onto Mikan's lap. Some of the girl's were burning of jealousy while others were fan girling at the scene. The boys were fascinating Yukihira Mikan looking after a toddler. "She looks like a goddess" the boys thought.

Mikan noticed everyone was looking at her and raised her head, "Minna-san, we are in the middle of a class, would you face the front please?" she said and smiled sweetly. "No, she is the goddess herself!" the boys thought and everyone else thought of something similar. Everyone faced the front as if they were manipulated by Mikan's smile. Youichi sat on her lap for the rest of the period with a small smile plastered on his face.

The end of the class quickly approached and Youichi went back to class, happy. Everyone went to have recess while Mikan went to find Natsume. She went to the roof to find no one there so she went to Natsume's "favourite" place. The Sakura tree. As expected (from everyone in the world) he was lying on a branch with a manga covering his face, "Natsume?" Mikan whispered. He didn't move, so she took it as a yes. "You-chan wanted to see you but you weren't there, he was nearly crying," Mikan continued to whisper. Natsume twitched, he picked up his manga but didn't move and asked, "What happened?". Mikan jumped slightly by his unexpected reply. "Er, I told him, you were not there and told him he can stay with me," she said. Mikan noticed Natsume had a soft spot when it comes to Youichi, just like when she first met Youichi (in the anime). "Hn," he answered.

"Can't you give a better answer?!" Mikan exclaimed after she got ticked off.

"Hn"

"Omg, oops, I need to go to Axel-kun," Mikan said. Natsume sat up. "Why?" he asked.

"Huh?"

"Why?" he repeated.

"Why?" she questioned, "You mean why I'm going to him?"

"Yes"

"Oh, is someone jealous?" she said. Natsume glared at her. "Ok, ok, calm down. I'm asking about his alice," she answered. He went back to reading his manga.

Sorry, it's so short. I just felt like I really need to upload this for so long. I feel like I need to read a dictionary. One more week left! Holidays!
