Last Time on My Supernatural Life
(T.V! :D)
"Well, for starters, why are you still here and not in the 'after life'" Ruka asked me. "Dunno" I answered him. The group looked at each other. "Well, it's settled then, Natsume. We're gonna help you get to the after life" Mikan said.
Preview (or whatever you call it) End
~Mikan's POV~
Natsume looked at me with wide eyes, while the others just nodded to confirm what I said was true. "We'll just have to do some research on how to get you to the afterlife first" I continued with my plan.
"Yeah! That's a great idea Mimi!" Anna and Nonoko told me at the same time. I flashed them a smile.
"So, when are we gonna start this plan?" Yuu asked. We all looked at Hotaru...Well, everyone but Natsume who was intently staring at me. I could tell cuz I felt his gaze. It was really intense. I could've felt it from a mile away.
"We'll initiate the plan over the winter holiday. The week is half way over and next week is the start of Christmas and New Year's break. It's perfect." Hotaru told all of us.
"That's right!" everyone but Hotaru, Yo, and Natsume said, meaning I said it too. "Perfect plan Hotaru! We'll start during winter break!" Tsubasa exclaimed. We all started high fiveing each other like total weirdos and giggling like maniacs. (A/N: Me and my friends do that all the time:D) When we were finished being total weirdos, we headed downstairs. I saw my dad doing some work on the dining table.
"Good evening father" I greeted in my British accent. "Hello, my beautiful daughter" dad replied with his own British accent while grinning like a madman.
"Hey uncle Izumi" my friends said. My dad flashed them a smile and said "hello kids. It's been a while." Natsume was in the back. Of course, my dad didn't notice him. He wasn't able to the supernatural like me and Yo and, well, everyone else.
"Oh hey kids!" my mom said when she saw all of us. "Are all of you staying over for dinner?" "Can we ask our parents if it's alright?" all my friends asked my mom. "Of course you can!" mom replied. Everyone got out their cell phones, dialed the number to their house, and walked off so they could get some privacy.
"How was school Yo?" mom asked. "It was fine" he said as he pulled up a seat. All of a suddenly he started to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" mom asked Youichi. "Cuz, today at lunch, Mikan told us that mfff!" I ran up to Youichi and covered his mouth before he could say anything. I had a feeling that I knew what he was going to say.
"Nothing happened at all! Heheh..." I told mom and dad. My parents raised an eyebrow each and wondered what I was trying to hide. Natsume, who was in the corner of the room, did the same.
"Mikan actually admitted that she thought a certain someone was 'hot'." I heard someone say. Mom, dad, Yo, Natsume, and I look towards the doorway. It was Hotaru. She was smirking as she walked over to me and put an arm over my shoulder. All the others walked into the dining room and smirked while they sat in their seats. All eyes were on me. I blushed a bright red as I took Hotaru's arm off of me.
"S-sh-shut u-up" I said. Or more like stuttered. I took a seat at the dinner table. Everyone started to laugh and Natsume just walked to me and stood right next to me, a confused look on his face.
"So, it's true?" I heard my dad ask. The laughter died down as we all turned to him. His expression was dark and his aura seemed somewhat evil. It was very obvious that dad didn't like this news.
I sweat dropped. "No! Dad, I didn't mean to say it! Simure tricked me into saying it! I swear!" You could hear the panic in my voice as I said that. Everyone was looking at me. They probably didn't believe me. I sighed. "Just,...never mind. Let's just not talk about this anymore" I told them. Dad seemed to like this idea while the rest of the living people in my house seemed like they wanted to tease me some more. Natsume looked like he was in deep thought while everyone just sat down to eat. I stayed silent throughout the whole meal, not wanting to direct the attention to me once again. Because I knew they would start to tease me if I spoke up again.
Dinner ended after about an hour. It was about 7 pm and Hotaru, Ruka, Anna, Yuu, Nonoko, Kitsu, Koko, Simure, Misaki, and Tsubasa had to go home. "Why don't you and Yo go and walk them home Mikan?" my suggested.
"That's fine with me!" I said. "But, Youichi has to agree to come too." I informed my mom. Yo nodded and we took it as a 'yes'. "Yay! Let's go!" I exclaimed as I grabbed Yo's hand and dragged him outside. Everyone but mom and dad followed me and Youichi. Natsume came along with us too.
First, we dropped off Hotaru. Then, Ruka along with Simure got to their houses. Anna and Nonoko's house wasn't that far from Koko and Kitsu's house, so pretty soon. That left me, Youichi, Tsubasa, Misaki, and Natsume. When we reached Misaki's house, Tsubasa walked her to the door. And before she went in, Tsubasa gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Awww, they're so sweet!" I cooed as I clasped my hands together. Youichi and Natsume just looked at me weirdly. Gosh, they were such boys. Finally, we reached Tsubasa's house which was farthest away from ours. "Bye Tsubasa! See ya tomorrow at school!" I told him. "Bye Mimi, Yo, Natsume" he replied. He went into his house.
Natsume, Yo, and I started back to our house. Me and Yo were talking about where we could find the information to get Natsume to the 'afterlife' while Natsume himself just kept walking with his stoic face, stealing glances of me from time to time. And how do I know that Natsume was stealing glances at me? Well, it was because I was secretly stealing glances of him. What I said earlier, that he was 'hot' was totally and utterly true. He was totally hot. God-like even. His raven hair was always messy but it made him look even better. And his crimson eyes were nothing I'd ever seen before. Whenever I looked into his eyes, I had to force myself to look away and not stare at him. He had the perfect body and the perfect muscles. He wasn't scrawny but he wasn't a body builder. He was right in the middle. His face looked like it was made by angels with his perfect nose and long eyelashes framing his eyes. He was so beautiful.
Luckily I was able to control myself to not stare at him because if I didn't have any control, I wouldn't be able to look away from him and I'd stare at him all day until someone made me stop. I'm so happy I have self control! We had finally reached the house and Yo and I thought that we could look in the library for some info of sending Natsume to heaven. I admit that I didn't really want him to leave, but it was his choice to leave or not. I didn't want him to be stuck here forever. He would be so lonely. I didn't like the sound of that, so I decided that we'd get him to heaven whether I liked it or not.
It was 8:30 when we got home, so Yo and I said our good nights to mom and dad and went upstairs. I got into my room and I grabbed my clothes and went to the bathroom for a shower, leaving Natsume by himself in my room. It was so hard to remember that he was a ghost and that he wasn't alive. I was really getting used to him. One day, I might actually forget that Natsume's a ghost and start talking to him in front of millions of people and they'll all think I'm crazy. That won't be good. I undressed and stepped into the shower, letting the hot water flow over my body. But, I think that if he were alive, me and him would've gotten along really well. Maybe if he was alive and I met him, we would've been friends. I think that would've been great.
~Natsume's POV~
I was just lying on Mikan's bed, doing nothing and staring up at the ceiling while she took a shower. While we were walking, I kept on glancing at Mikan. She looked like an angel with her beautiful amber brown hair cascading down her back; her shining honey brown eyes were nestled with long and luscious eyelashes. Her delicate eyebrows were perfectly shaped and her nose was absolutely perfect. She had curves in all the right places, and she was the perfect height for a 14 year old girl. And a good height for me. Oh my god I why did I just think that! What would she say if she knew I was thinking that stuff? She'd probably try to keep her distance, and I wouldn't like it if she wasn't near me. It would,… how should I put this.. 'kill me'. At least, if I were still alive it would.
Then, I noticed the shower stopped. I don't know when, but it definitely stopped. And then, in came Mikan. She was wearing a white, spaghetti strapped, knee length dress. It hugged her around her waist and then it flowed down to her knees. She had her hair down like always. She looked even more like an angel when she wore that. She then came up to the other side of the bed and laid next to me. I just stared at her as she gazed up at the ceiling. What I would do to know what she was thinking now. She looked at the clock and I did too. It read 8:30.
"When do you go to sleep" I asked her as I broke the silence between us. I looked at her as she did the same with me.
"Ten" she answered me bluntly. Hm, she had two hours and thirty minuets to stay up. That's when I noticed how close we were.
Our faces were mere inches away and I could feel her breath as she spoke, "Natsume? I was wondering….how did you, uh….how did you die?" she asked me. I didn't see what the big deal was. I mean, my death wasn't that tragic.
"My village burned down in a fire and I wasn't able to get out of my house alive. I died and so did the rest of my family. They all went to the after life, but somehow, I was unable to go there with them. So, I looked around Tokyo for a good place to stay, and I stumbled upon here. I stayed here until today." I told her. She just stared into my eyes as I stared back. After a few minuets, she broke our gaze. I just kept looking at her.
"So, you died when you were 14?" she asked me.
"Hn" I replied. We laid here for about ten more minuets until I decided to break the silence. "You 14" I asked her, but it sounded more like a statement. We looked at each other. She nodded in reply.
"You know," Mikan started, "One day, I'll forget that you're a ghost and I'll start talking to you in front of millions of people. And then they'll think I'm crazy." She started to giggle uncontrollably. I smiled slightly as I watched her. She was so cute. Her giggle fit just continued so I thought that I might as well give her a real reason to laugh. I started to tickle her and she started to laugh full on.
"Stop it!" she said as she gasped for air. I chuckled at her. I had been tickling her for a full ten minuets. I stopped and let her catch her breath. After another five minuets, she had steadied her breathing. "Don't do that, Natsume" she told me as she sat up. Her hair was a little messed up which made her look H.O.T. She looked at her clock. 9:30, thirty minuets 'til she had to sleep. Now what were we supposed to do until she went to sleep? Mikan got up and got her laptop and brought it onto the bed. She sat next to me in her original spot and opened up her laptop and turned it on. She went onto a chat room. I saw that her friend Hotaru was on it. Mikan decided to chat with her friend.
Mikan: Hotaru!
Hotaru: Baka
Mikan: Mou, Hotaru, don't be so mean. :( Anyways, during break, we can look in the library for things to help us send Natsume to heaven.
Hotaru: Okay, sounds good. I heard of this library that has a huge stock of books about the paranormal. But, it's all the way in Hokkaido. We'll have to stay in a hotel while we're there.
Mikan: I'll ask my mom and dad about it. I think they'll say yes. No parents right?
Hotaru: Right. We'll tell everyone tomorrow. Okay?
Mikan: Okay! Bye, Hotaru!
Hotaru: See ya.
Mikan logged off of the chat room and put her laptop back on her desk. It was five to ten. I got off the bed and helped Mikan get her bed ready. I walked over to the light switch, signaling that I would turn off the light for her. She gave me a thankful smile and got into her bed. I turned the light off and walked to the other side of her bed and lay down underneath the sheets next to her. I could feel the heat of her body radiating off of her skin. She scoot a little closer to the center of the bed and so did I. I could feel that she was a little tense and that made the situation awkward. So, I lie down on my back and put her head on my chest. She tensed even more, but settled down once I started to run my fingers through her hair.
Mikan's breaths grew slow and steady and she was motionless. I could tell that she was asleep. I looked at her sleeping face. She looked absolutely beautiful. I looked at her soft lips and I was tempted to kiss them. What was wrong with me? Why did I feel so weird whenever I see her? Why do I like it when she's near me? This is just too weird. I brooded this throughout the night, to the next morning. Waiting for the beautiful angel sleeping next to me, or rather on me, to wake up and show me her beautiful eyes.
