This chapter is dedicated to: Ryosuke Yamada... Otanjoubi omodetto yama-chan!! i love you!!
One week later
That morning Natsume was with Aoi and Youichi going to school, they picked up Hotaru as well. It was about 9:00, class started late today because of certain reasons.
"Daddy, are you and mommy still fighting??" Youichi asked all of a sudden
Natsume sighed "Listen Youichi, please stop calling her your mommy and stop calling me your daddy because me and that girl are over" he said calmly
Youichi was taken aback "Hai, I understand… gomenasai Natsume nii-san"
Aoi just sat there staring outside the window and worrying about her brother. Hotaru was busy fixing her new invention; she didn't want to talk to anyone
"You don't have to say sorry, Youichi… you didn't do anything wrong" Natsume smiled at him
Youichi smiled back and then they arrived at school, Youichi, Aoi and Hotaru got out of the car first and they saw Mikan get out of her car too… Youichi and Aoi walked towards the entrance to the school while Hotaru waited for Natsume.
"We are leaving for New York in two weeks and I was wondering if you wanted to come back there with us and go back to our old friends and our school. What do you say about it??" Yuto asked sweetly
Mikan looked at him wondering what she would do. She sighed and opened her mouth but the words her mind wanted to say didn't come out. What came out from her mouth was "I don't think that I can leave my friends here and I can't leave here knowing that someone is mad at me" which came from her heart
Nicole looked at her and smirked while she was thinking "I know what you mean, if I would have been with Natsume and something like this would have happened, I wouldn't leave this place as well and besides I know that you still love him that much"
Yuto faced her and took her hand "Please just consider my offer. I'll wait for your answer until this week. I hope you make the right decision though"
Mikan nodded and made Yuto let go of her hand and then she started walking again and then she saw a silver haired boy walking to the school with a raven haired girl. She approached them while calling out to them
"Ohayo You-chan, Aoi-chan"
Aoi looked at her as she held on to Youichi's hand, holding it tighter and tighter. Mikan went closer to them and tried to hug them but Aoi pulled Youichi back so she wouldn't get to hug them, Mikan was dumbfounded
"Don't come near us, please!" Aoi protested
"Why?? What's wrong Aoi-chan??" Mikan was confused
"Gomenasai Sakura-san, but please just leave us alone" Youichi's eyes were covered by his bangs
Mikan was shocked "Sakura-san?? Since when did you start calling me by that name?"
"….." was his reply and then Aoi dragged him away
"Matte! Are you mad at me because of what happened between me and Natsume??" she shouted at them
"Shut up!! Stop talking about my brother! You don't know what he's been going through all this time that you were together!! You really are an idiot! He was risking his life to protect you, don't you know that?? You are a dummy…. All because of that stupid mission he has about you!! I can't believe he would even say yes to that guy, and about that guy named Kaito, which is the father of your beloved new boyfriend beside you, he wants to kill you or something and if it wouldn't have been for Natsume nii-san, you would have been dead by now… So don't get the wrong idea that we are still friends because I can't stand being friends wit ha traitor like you, don't you know how hard it was for onii-san to do this, to wake up every morning and think that everything that's happening right now, this relationship, this promise… IT'S ALL A FAKE!!" Aoi was crying while glaring at her and then she continued "How the two of you met before, it wasn't a coincidence, they intended it to be like that… they wanted you two to meet and then to make that hell of a promise to get married then they let the two of you meet here in school after 5 years and then to your disappointment you thought that he had amnesia when he didn't really have it, because you were so dense they knew you wouldn't find out, he treated you as a real girlfriend but he didn't realize you would do this to him. He treated this mission as a real one, just to protect you. He told me that once he saw you when you were 10 he fell in love with you at first sight; he said that he was lucky to be your boyfriend and all that. I was happy about that but to make this small thing this big, how shameless! He was just having a little fun which he never ever had in his whole life because all he does is go on missions, this week when your parents found out that you broke up they decided to end the mission and then this past week he has been going through mission 24/7, he even comes home bloody and injured…I can't stand to be the one telling you this but it's for the best, for nii-san's and for your life too. You can even ask your parents about it, I'm sure they'll say that it's true, you're a pitiful girl you know that?? You are lucky to be with my brother, he has never been this happy ever in his whole life…. You are the idiot here!! You are so dense! Not respecting the feelings of others! I hate you! Stop bothering our family and our friends"
Mikan's jaw dropped, she suddenly sat on the floor without a word and she was more confused than she was ever was, then suddenly Natsume and Hotaru arrived, walking towards Aoi and Youichi
"What happened here Aoi?? Why are you crying??" Natsume asked
Aoi just stared at him as what Mikan did, she stood up and then stared at Natsume and saw that his arm had was wrapped and there was a stain of blood, she shook her head.
"Onii-san, I'm really sorry that it had to end this way but I had to do it, I had to tell her, she would have found out about it anyway" she ran outside the school's vicinity, Natsume tried to stop her but she forced him to let go
Mikan too was dumfounded, she grabbed her bag and then walked out of the school gates with the other guys shocked of what they heard specially the boy whose father wanted her first love to die
Natsume's POV
I didn't know what Aoi meant, did she tell Mikan about the missions or about something else?? I don't know anymore, my heart is already in pain, is she playing with me and my feelings?? If Aoi told her about it… wait… Aoi doesn't know anything about my missions and my mission to Mikan's parents, I might be dreaming, I hope she doesn't know about it, her and Mikan….
"Natsume, let's go…. We'll be late for class" Hotaru said
Mikan's POV
I couldn't believe what Aoi had just said, I can't take it, I ran away from the school, i didn't know where I was going, I just followed my heart then I stopped, I saw this beautiful sakura tree in front of me and I sat down… I didn't expect it but I started crying, why am I crying again?? Is it because all my friends think that I betrayed them?? I give up, Kami-san, kill me now!! Was it true about Natsume, how he has suffered and about me dying if it wasn't for Natsume?? sigh
Normal POV
Mikan accidentally slept under the Sakura tree, she didn't notice the guy who just arrived, and she woke up after 30 minutes after the guy arrived, when she woke up, she noticed that the time was already 11:00, she stood up and dusted her skirt and ran towards the school
"It's a good thing your precious Natsume Hyuuga arrived in time to save or else you would have been dead already" someone thought
"You should take care of yourself Mikan, I won't always be there to help you, you know... That was the last time I'm gonna save you from them, take care of yourself…. I love you no matter what, always and Forever…but I can't say that right now to you because of what you did so I'll just accept it and leave you to the hands of that guy, 'Yuto Sasaki' I hope he cares for you and loves you"
"Class it's already 1:00 in the afternoon, let's start with your Math class, jino-sensei is sick, so Narumi-sensei will substitute you" Everyone had a sigh of relief
"Natsume, aren't you worried that the dense baka is not yet here??" Hotaru whispered
"Hn! I don't care about her" he replied without hesitation
"You're really an idiot…." Hotaru smirked
"Where the heck is that girl anyway??" Natsume thought
Suddenly the brunette entered the room quietly. She sat on her chair without even greeting anyone and from the look in her eyes it seemed as she cried her heart out.
"Glad to see you join our class today Ms. Sakura!" Narumi smiled at her while she glared
"What's going on with her?? She is looking kind of sad" Narumi thought
Mikan was seated on her chair; she was looking outside the window as tears were falling from her eyes and her hand covering one eye
"Should I ask him about it?? I don't know anymore… If what Aoi said was true then what am I supposed to do now…. If I confront Nat about this he might go hay wire on me and whatever maybe I should just ask mom and dad about it then… next thing I'm gonna do is still a question I can't answer…" Mikan sighed
"Mikan-chan, please see me after class" Narumi said and he curtsy and went outside
"What do you need from me sensei??" Mikan asked as she had a fake smile plastered on her face
Narumi hugged her and he said "You know that I'm always here for you right Mikan-chan, if you have problems then you can com to me for help, I will listen to anything you say, I promise you…. Now Mikan-chan, tell me what's wrong with you"
Mikan's tears rolled down her face and then she hugged Narumi tighter as his shirt was getting al wet and dirty
"And I heard that you and Natsume broke up, is that true?? And I thought you two were to last a lifetime" Narumi sighed as Mikan cried even harder as she heard the name of her ex-boyfriend, the guy who always had his infamous smirk on his face
They broke the hug "It started like this….." Mikan explained everything to Narumi even what Aoi said to her
"I think you should ask your parents about it and I'm sure that they will tell you the truth as long as you don't intimidate them that is… And once you find out the truth, have a little chat with Natsume and then you decide from there" Narumi wipped her tears and smiled at her
"Arigato Narumi-sensei, I thank kami-san for letting the two of us meet…." Mikan finally smiled
"Konichiwa Mikan dear, how was school??" her mother asked her when she entered the house
Mikan didn't reply "Mikan, honey, how are you and Natsume been doing?" asked her father as she glared at them
"Mom, Dad, we need to talk, now!" Mikan dragged her parents towards the living room
Mikan was seated on the couch while her father was on his favorite chair and her mother was standing beside him
"Dad, is it true about this mission?? That my meeting with Natsume 5 years ago was a plan?? And that this thing is just all a BIG FAKE?!" her parents were taken aback
"Mi-chan, we can explain everything" her father said
"Well, then start explaining!" she was agitated
"We did that to protect you, so that Kaito wouldn't try to kill you or do anything bad to you, we used Natsume as a guardian of yours so he can be by your side all the time and to make sure you don't get hurt even just a scratch, we're really sorry"
Mikan hugged her parents then let go, she put her hands to her hips and said to them "In the process of you doing that you should have told me everything from the start so people right now wouldn't be having broken hearts, heart aches, always crying or miserable…. You did great in protecting me but there is one thing you didn't get to look after… it's my heart"
They realized what they did and they apologized to her until she got nuts and forgave them but lots of things were still on her mind, one thing there is Natsume and what she will say to him
-3 days later-
Everyone acted normal… it's as if nothing happened to any of them, with Mikan and Natsume, with Ruka and Hotaru, with anyone around the world and like everything was back to normal…..but….it wasn't, because it will never get back to the old days….
Natsume was with Koko, Ruka, Anna, Yuu and Ruka's girl while Hotaru was beside Natsume staring at some guys who got the message and started to follow her where ever she went
"Ruka, your new girl is a slut" commented Koko
Ruka's girl coughed once and then glared at Koko while grabbing on to Ruka's arm making the raven haired girl want to shoot her with her slut cannon
"Don't say such cruel words to Misa, Koko" Ruka defended as he kissed Misa on the cheek
Hotaru stepped back once and her heart fell to the ground (A/N: not literally fell to the ground that is)
Hotaru's POV
I can't stand watching those two flirt with each other and in public… idiots these days have no consideration of how other people feel, I really wanna hit her with the cannon but I'll just have to make Ruka's heart crumble to pieces first
"Ryosuke, can you carry my books" Ryosuke ran towards me and grabbed my books
"Light, can you bring my bag for me please… my shoulders hurt" Light dashed towards me and got my bag
"Taku, can you massage my hand, it hurts a bit" I saw Taku smirk and he took my hand and massaged it
I can see Ruka glaring at my boys, let's see what he can do…
Ruka's POV
Hotaru was ordering boys around while I'm here being very agitated about Taku holding her hand, only I can hold it!! Why am I just watching her make me jealous?? I think it's my turn now...
"Hey Yuri, how are you??" I talked to this girl by the corridors and I winked at her
"Oh Ruka, I'm fine…." The girl replied "Wanna go out with me??" I asked and she nodded
"Hi Yumi, party at my house, now…. Get the fan club and follow me" I said it to catch Hotaru's attention
Normal POV
Hotaru looked at Ruka and then she saw a whole lot of girls following him and three girls beside him who were clinging on to him, she gave them death glares which were no use because they evaded the glare
"Stupid girl! They'll regret this, let's just see Ruka" Hotaru murmured
"What did you say Hotaru??" Natsume asked smirking
"None of your business Nat!" she exclaimed
"I have a question, are you fine with this? Ruka with other girls and this party which might get to making out and all that" Natsume's smirk turned into a smile
"Let's go to that party" Hotaru dragged Natsume and they left with Ruka and his girls about to ride in his car and Hotaru glaring at her from inside her car
Hotaru was wearing a tube dress that was above the knee and it had a design of a blue rose with prada boots that reached her knees and Natsume was wearing levis pants and a black shirt that says "My girlfriend left me for an asshole!" (A/N: I like that shirt!!)
They arrived at Ruka's house, Hotaru got out with Ryosuke holding her hand while Natsume got out of the car with all the people staring at him and smirking at his shirt
"Nice shirt Nat, I like it!" Koko complimented
Natsume, Hotaru, Ryosuke, Koko, Anna, Nonoko and Yuu went inside his house together; they made the crowd look at them when they entered…. With all their fashionable clothes and cool accessories
Ruka's jaw dropped when he saw what Hotaru was wearing…. He got mad at her for doing this so he got 5 shots of tequila and drank them one by one.
After a few minutes, Natsume spotted Mikan talking with Yuto by the bar, she went to a table near them to hear what they were talking about and then when he heard it he shook his head because he tried not to believe what he just heard…. Mikan had just said "YES" to Yuto…. Natsume fell from his chair but his face was still in shock… Mikan saw him fall and then she surely knew that he heard what she just said to Yuto
-Mikan and Yuto before Natsume came-
"Mikan, I've been wanting to tell you this ever since you were in New York…" Yuto said to Mikan as he held on to her hand
"What is it Yuto-kun??" Mikan hesitated if she would get her hand or not
"I…I…..I love you since I met you!" he breathed hard after
"Uhm….I…I don't know what to say" Mikan shook her head
"Give me a chance Mikan… please say yes" he begged her
"I….I…I have to go get a drink, I'll be right back" Mikan dashed to the comfort room
Mikan's POV
I don't know what to say… I just broke up with Natsume, the person I fell in love with, my prince charming, my number one and now someone very special to me is asking me to be his girlfriend…. It was all a fake right so I guess I should forget about it, my perfect boyfriend and soon to be husband was just a dream not reality… I have to give him an answer but if I dump him he might get mad at me or it will ruin our friendship… Fine, I'll do it… I'm gonna dump him, what can I say I still love Natsume…
I got out of the cubicle and then I saw this beautiful teenaged girl with brown curly hair and then she looked at me with her brown eyes and spoke up
"You know, if you want to forget someone you loved or your ex-boyfriend, you should find someone new, love someone else… forget about him and get a new guy, a guy who will love you and take care of you for the rest of you life. Even though you loved him, sure as hell that he would have found a new girl to be with by now" I was in shock and then she went out and left me with tears falling from my eyes…
Normal POV
The girl went out the comfort room and then she went to a table with a guy wearing a mask on his face and a hat so that no one would recognize him
"Did you talk to her??" the man asked
"Yes I did and I think she'll be with him forever and that Natsume Hyuuga can't stop us now cause they will never get back together, at least not on my watch" the brown haired girl said as she giggled a bit
Mikan whipped her tears and then she went back to Yuto with a smiling face but her heart was in pain because she was about to forget about her beloved Natsume Hyuuga…
"Mikan, it's alright if you dump me, I'll just have to li-" he was stopped in his words by Mikan who slapped him, he touched his cheeks and then he stared at her
"Stop whining already… you're such a baby! But I have this feeling about you so I'll say "YES" are you happy now?" she smirked at him and then she hugged him
In the midst of their hugging a loud BANG was heard…. Mikan faced the loud bang and then she was stunned by what she saw, Natsume was in a state of shock as he was on the floor looking at the ceiling…
Natsume's POV
Fuck this guy!! I can't believe that she would do this!! Ouch!! My heart it really hurts…. Ah!! I can't faint inside here, I got to get out now… where's Imai when I need her?? There she is, I gotta go to her and fast
"Hotaru!! We need to go, I think I'm gonna faint, my heart is about to break" I whispered to her as I gripped her hand and my other hand was by my chest
Normal POV
Hotaru's eyes widened and she helped Natsume to the car and they drove off leaving Ryosuke standing while Ruka was about to punch him good thing Koko stopped him
(A/N: Ruka, if you ever hurt my precious Ryosuke… I'm gonna kill you!!)
"What do you think you're doing asshole??" Ryosuke shouted
Ruka grabbed the collar of his shirt and pushed him to the wall "What's with you and Hotaru?? Why do you keep on touching her?? What's your problem with my girl??"
"Hey, don't hurt the face jerk…she just had a deal with me and you can't say 'No' to a pretty and sexy girl like her right?? And you know what she can do to make you say 'Yes', it was your loss"
"Shut up bastard!! You don't know anything… stay away from her!!"
Ruka let go of him and then he started drinking again then his phone rang out of the blue
"Hello" Ruka answered
"Ruka, you have to com here to the hospital… Natsume fainted and then he's in surgery and it's critical" Hotaru replied as she was sobbing
"Hotaru, calm down, I'll be there right away… just wait for me"
"You better and don't bring any girls… and about Mikan don't bother telling her if she doesn't wanna listen"
"Yeah, I got it"
He closed the phone and went to Mikan but when he took a glance at them and she was kissing Yuto (A/N: I'm sorry Sab, yuyu-chan… I love Ryosuke!)
Mikan broke the kiss and tilted her head to the right and saw Ruka with his mouth opened and his eyes were widened "Mikan, you are a bitch like what they say… So that's why Natsume is in the hospital right now having surgery" Ruka left and Mikan started crying her heart out while Yuto was trying to comfort her seeing that she was about to fall to the floor but Mikan shrugged it and she ran outside the house and went home
Ruka arrived at the hospital and saw Hotaru sitting on a chair crying hard, he ran beside her and hugged her… "It's gonna be alright Hotaru… how is he??"
"He's still in sniff surgery, you should call sniff Aoi and Youichi" Hotaru replied
"Okay, you just wait here…. I'll be back" Ruka walked towards the stairs and he called Aoi and Youichi who were stunned to hear the bad news
Aoi and Youichi arrived together with Koko, Anna, Yuu and Nonoko
"Is he alright?? Where is he??" they all asked in unison
"He's still in surgery… the doctor hasn't come out yet" Ruka replied while making Hotaru stop crying
"Thanks Ruka" she smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips then the doctor came out from the surgery room
"He's gonna be alright, he just had internal bleeding and he had lots of bruises... was he fighting or something??"
"He has missions like a spy or something and he comes home filled with wounds and blood all over his shirt" Aoi cried
"That explains the loss of blood in his body but the blood bank ran out of his type of blood, its type A"
"My blood type is A, I can donate some of it" Ruka suggested
"My blood type is A too…. I'll give him some too…" Yuu offered
"Thank you, it will be much help for us" the doctor said and then he let the 2 boys follow him to a near room to get some blood
"Onii-san will be alright will he??" she asked as she grabbed on to Anna
"Yes he will Aoi-chan, don't worry, stop crying" Anna carried her and let her cry on her shoulder
Youichi ran up to Nonoko and hugged her he covered his face so no one can see him crying. "This is all Sakura-senapai's fault" Youichi murmured
"Don't say that You-chan… Mikan is just a idiotic bitch" Hotaru said as she sat there looking all messed up
Youichi and Aoi cried even harder when they heard her say those things but Aoi sighed "This is my fault…. I told Mikan about Ni-san doinf missions and about their relationship being fake and that he was trying his best to protect her but she just let him down"
Hotaru smiled at her "Finally someone told her about that… thank you!"
Ruka and Yuu went out of the room and then after 2 hours and a half Natsume was sent to a suit room but it wasn't until the next 24 hours until he woke up
"At last you're awake, it's been more than a day" Hotaru smirked
"You made us worry, particularly Hotaru… she was crying so hard" Ruka was laughing while Hotaru pointed her baka gun at him, preparing to shoot him
"Calm down baby, no need to get harsh right??" Ruka flirted with her as he took hold of her and embraced her tight
"So, you two back together?? That stinks... I don't have people entertaining me again" Natsume smirked at them as the others were amused by this
"You want me to hurt you Natsume!" Hotaru glared, pointing her baka gun at him
"Oh, you call my best friend Natsume his name now… what, are you his new best friend now??" Ruka taunted
"You better shut your mouth baby or do you want me to kick your ass or get Ryosuke again" Ruka pulled her to a kiss
"Hey, don't display affection in front of me!!" Natsume stated
They broke the kiss and Hotaru went closer to Natsume and pinched his cheeks hard
Mikan arrived at her house with tears still falling, she ran towards her room. Her parents were not in the house only the maids and butlers were there. She thought no one saw her running with water flowing from her orbs but someone did.
Knock Knock
"Who sob is it??" Mikan said softly
"It's me, Jun-kun…. Open the door please" a high voice said
She opened the door slowly and then Jun-kun went inside the room and sat on her bed as soon as Mikan sat on her bed and made herself comfortable.
"Mi-chan, are you alright??" he asked
"No…." she whispered
"What's wrong with you these days??" he asked
"Nothing… it's just about Natsume"
Before they could start the topic Law-chan went inside the room with chips, iced tea and ice cream and Mikan snatched some ice cream and started eating it so she would feel at least a little bit better
After 1 hour she had finished explaining everything to them. Lawrence fell asleep while Jun-kun was crying already; he consumed 2 whole rolls of tissue whereas Mikan patted his back and she chuckled
"What's so funny??" he asked
"You, you look like you're the one who got hurt and broke up with his super duper hunky fake boyfriend" she started laughing hard then Jun-kun just smiled at this and Lawrence was snoring loudly
"Thanks for listening to what happened to me… I don't know who else to talk to… I might have gone crazy by now if we didn't talk" Mikan extended her gratitude
"It's alright Mi-chan, here's some advice…. Choose wisely, i don't want you getting hurt… Choose the guy who makes you complete, who shows his true self to you, the one who you love…. Ask your heart about it, do what your heart tells you to because what your heart says is the right choice"
"Do you think I made the right choice in saying 'yes' to him?? I think I should have thought longer than that and to think Natsume is in the hospital and it's all because of me… I love Natsume and I can't stand him getting hurt like this but I don't know if his love for me wasn't a fake…. I'm just confused"
"You should think things over, have a talk with Natsume and then it's your turn to decide… listen to your heart… I'll go with you to the hospital now"
"Thanks Jun-kun, that's the reason I love you so much, let's go"
"Wait, Law-chan is still sleeping, better wake him up" Jun-kun proposed
"No need to wake him up, leave him there and let him rest for a while"
Jun-kun chuckled at this and put a blanket over him and then they left for the hospital. While they were still going to the hospital Natsume and the gang were still having their laughs about school and the past 3 years that Natsume had been to the academy and the school festivals and before Mikan came to their lives
"I remember when Ruka was passing by the Sakura tree and then you tripped but you thought no one saw you and then when you stood up your pants fell down" Natsume said
"Natsume, I told you not to say that to anyone ever!!" Ruka glared at him
"Do you have a picture of that Natsume??" Hotaru asked as a sneer formed on his face
"Yeah, it's at my house… it's even framed… hahahahah"
Ruka interfered with there laugh "What about you Nat… You remember what happened a year ago at one of the festivals in the school at one of the stalls where we ordered some drinks for the group and then when you got the drink you spilled it by your legs and it looked like you peed on your pants then a girl came running towards you and saw it"
"Whatever… well here's one, it happened last year…remember when Koko was climbing the stairs going to the 3rd floor of the academy, he slipped right in front of a girl who was going upstairs too and then he accidentally kissed her…. Oh wait I made a mistake it happened last week….sorry Anna" Anna hit Koko in the head with a book…
"This happened last month, when Mikan and Natsume were having a date in the amusement park…" Natsume sighed and Hotaru continued "they rode on the roller coaster and they were at the end which was at the top of the escalating roller coaster, Natsume noticed that her skirt was flying but Mikan as dense as she is didn't notice this and Natsume, who wasn't ashamed of himself took a picture of her panties"
Natsume was drinking soda but when he heard this he spit it in a flash and right in front of Ruka who was standing up and then in the end Ruka wet his pants and Natsume got a big red spot on his cheeks and Hotaru taking pictures
"Good memories of her fade away fast when you start hating her" Natsume sighed
"Don't be so dramatic Hyuuga, that's all you ever do these days" Hotaru laughed
"You know what the greatest prank ever is??" Anna asked
Nonoko, Ruka and Yuu shook their heads "Do you know what it is??" they asked in unison
"Yeah, and I think Hotaru, Natsume and Koko know it too, don't you guys??" she hada a sly smile on her face
"Oh, you mean the prank we watched last time at Hotaru's place??" Koko said as slowly as he could before he went on laughing hard
Hotaru, Anna and Natsume followed with the laughing and they told Nonoko, Ruka and Yuu all about what happened that day and they ended up having a laugh trip in the hospital room reminiscing about old and funny memories.
Mikan just arrived at the main entrance of the hospital with Jun-kun and they went to the nearest nurse's station they could find.
"Sumimasen, what room is Natsume Hyuuga in??" Mikan asked sweetly
"Uhm… may I ask what your relation with Natsume-sama is??" she asked politely
"I'm his fiancé" the nurse started glaring at her
"He's in room 501, 5th floor and then turn right then you'll find it"
Mikan smiled at her and then dragged Jun-kun and walked towards the 5th floor as fast as she could…
While she was doing that Nonoko and Yuu decided to go out and buy some food for the guys and when they went outside they saw in front of them his ex-girlfriend, the girl that used to be their friend, the girl who didn't choose them and chose her other group of friends in exchange for them, the girl who hurt their precious friend, Natsume Hyuuga.
"Sakura-san, what are you doing here??" Nonoko asked
"I'm here to talk with Natsume, if you don't mind" she replied
"We do mind. We don't want you going near him anymore" Yuu answered
"Listen you guys, I'm really sorry for what happened between us the other week, and I was just really in a lot of pressure, with school, with Natsume and with what happened to my other friends"
"Your other friends?? Why, do you have other friends besides them??" Nonoko said pointing out her so called 'friends'
"Yeah, you guys are my friends too"
"Friends?? More like former friends to me"
"I'm sorry guys, forgive me, and I'm sure that if you were in my position you would do the same too… forgive me already guys please" Mikan hugged them
Nonoko and Yuu smiled at each other "Of course we forgive you Mikan-chan, we still love you and I'm sure that you really didn't mean that before…. We understand you but we have to side with Natsume this time so gomen and about Natsume, sure you can talk to him, just be careful and I hope you get back together soon that is if you do we'll support you"
"And about you and Yuto being together is not a good thing for us which means that 'WE DON'T LIKE HIM!!' and we only want you to become Natsume's girl so you better break up with him! And if you don't you'll regret it for the rest of your life! And we'll not be there to help you if that happens… understand??" Nonoko and Yuu said angrily
"Eh?? Uhm… I have no comment to that, sorry"
"Just be careful with him, I have a bad feeling about him" Nonoko said as she browed her
"Yeah, I'll be careful and I'll keep all of the things you said in my mind"
"Wait, I'll just get the others so no one can disturb your little chat with your beloved Natsume-kun" Nonoko giggled a bit
She entered the room and then dragged Anna, Koko, Ruka and Hotaru outside and once they saw Mikan they got pissed off
"What do you think you're doing here bish??" Hotaru said
"Hotaru, I…I…I'm…I'm really sorry about what happened"
"Shut up Sakura, just get out of here!" Ruka said
"I have to talk with Natsume, so please let me"
"I can't do that to my friend Sakura" Anna eyed her
"What's a traitor like you doing here?? You going to apologize and think that after that he'll just forgive you… dummy" Aoi said this as her bangs covered her eyes and then she walked away followed by Youichi
"Just let them talk a bit, I'm sure Natsume wouldn't mind" Yuu smiled nervously
"We still have to but some food, so come on…let's go now" Nonoko dragged Hotaru
Hotaru kept on glaring at her while Mikan just stared at her with teary eyes but she managed to let it stop from coming out.
"Just don't upset him baka, if you do… I'll kill you with my own two hands" Hotaru warned her
"Don't worry, I might be the one to get upset anyway…" she smirked
"Oh, and Hotaru, even though you're mad at me remember that I love you very much and you are my best friend in the whole universe!"
"Whatever baka, I don't wanna know about that now" Hotaru shouted at her and left as she was shouting at Yuu "If anything happens to the black cat over there, I'll hurt you"
Yuu just ran fast as she pointed her baka gun at him
"Jun-kun, please just stay here while I go inside and see Natsume"
"Yeah sure… I'll wait for you here" he replied
"I'll be back in a minute or an hour that is" she laughed cutely and opened the door to the room
"Mi-chan, good luck with your talk with him, you can do it! I know you can, I believe in you Mi-chan, so do your best with him and remember that I'm supporting you here"
Mikan smiled and hugged him before going inside, "Thank you very much Jun-kun, I'll be doing my best!"
When Natsume saw her come inside, he was shocked; he sat up on his bed and just looked at her big auburn eyes as his crimson eyes were widened
"What are you doing here??" Natsume said with his low voice
"We need to talk Natsu-kun" Mikan sighed
"We have nothing to talk about"
"Yes, we do….. It's about what Aoi said to me about four days ago"
"What did she say??"
"About everything being fake and it was all a mission for you to protect me and that my father hired you to become my boyfriend/fiancé"
"How did Aoi know about that?"
"I really don't know, but what I want to know is….."
"Before you say anything, let me talk first"
"Alright, do the honors"
"I didn't think you would find out like this so i'm sorry… I understand why you're angry at me and that you might hate me for the rest of your life and all of those friggin things... But I protected you didn't I? I used up all my energy to go with you on dates and protect you from those guys who'd come near you or try to touch or hurt you, you should at least be thankful of me and because I did all of those not just because of the mission it's because I…..I….lo-"
"Beacause you did what??"
"I owed a friend some money and I couldn't pay him back" Natsume sighed "Sorry, I can't tell you this, the reason why… In the start I just wanted to get this mission over with but since I met you it changed it turned from wanting to end the mission to wanting to do this mission forever so I could be with you"
"You did this for that huh" Mikan stared at him with a bad face
Natsume just laid back and closed his eyes hoping not to see Mikan's agitated face
"You played my feelings for money!! How could you!?" Mikan shouted "I know you're lying to me, Nat… I know you're not a poor guy, your dad is a president of a big company but what I don't know is why Persona is doing this to you" (A/N: Mikan did some research about him)
"…..."
"Natsume, answer this question"
"……"
"While you were in your mission about me did you ever feel that you loved me??"
Natsume sat up at once when he heard this; he didn't expect her to ask this question
"……"
"Natsu-kun, answer me please" Mikan begged
"I don't know" he said with his bangs covering his eyes
"Tell me your answer soon, I'm giving you this week to tell me cause I'm leaving next week for New York, the guys wanted me to go back with me and since Yuto and I are... are already in a rela-" She was cut off
Natsume's heart was in pain again "Don't talk about him in front of me and I don't want to hear what you are going to say"
"I understand….I'll be leaving now, take care of yourself and drink your medicine" Mikan said worriedly and then she sat on Natsume's bed and then she touched his face and they were both thinking that this will be their last passionate kiss….
Mikan kissed him and then Natsume kissed back with his hands wrapped around her waist and hers around his neck. She caressed his hair and then he hugged her tightly while kissing her. After 1 min. they broke the kiss
"You know that that was our last passionate kiss for our relationship right??" Mikan was teary eyed "but I still want more"
"I wouldn't call it last, cherries" Natsume smirked "We could call it our most recent kiss and I'm gonna miss kissing you and looking at your panties"
"You are one big pervert you know that?" Mikan whispered "but you're my pervert"
"I know that besides it's my specialty" he murmured "And I know that I'm your beloved pervert"
"I love you! And that will never change…. From now till the day my body turns to ashes" Mikan thought
"I love you from the bottom of my heart, you have caught my cold and stupid heart and you have made it soft and madly in love with you, whatever happens between us even if this building is being bombed right now and I would have amnesia, I would still love you deep inside my heart… I just don't know how to tell you" Natsume thought
"I'm going now" Mikan waved her hand and was about to open the door when…
"Wait" Natsume said and he hugged her
Mikan was shocked to see Natsume stand up from his bed to hug her. What could this mean?? Does he love me or not??
"Take care of yourself and I hope you're making the right choice about this going back to New York thing, I'll see you Monday then"
A tear feel from Mikan's eye "Baka, you should be the one taking care of yourself. Now go back to your bed and rest so that I can see you smile again on Monday. And I'll wait for your answer, I hope you answer wisely" Mikan went outside the room
"I hope you choose me. I want you to tell me that you love me!! I want you to care for me and caress me. I want you to cuddle me, hug me tightly and never let go. I want you to kiss me and marry me and have kids with me!" were Mikan's thoughts
While in Natsume's mind was "I wanna tell you right now that I love you!! I wanna tell you that I can't live without you… I want you to stay with me forever and to stay away from that Yuto guy whose father is Keito, the guy who wants you dead. I want you to love me too and tell me how much you need me" And for the first time in his life, Natsume cried, he cried so hard that when Hotaru came inside the room she had to hit him 20 times with her baka gun before he tried to hit her back with a chair
"What the hell is wrong with you, moron?" she asked
Natsume covered his face with his blanket and whipped the tears off "None of your business, Ruka's ice queen"
"Shut up, Natsume. I told you not to tell her that" Ruka threw a pillow at his face
"What did you just say?? I'm Ruka's ice queen?? You bastards are real assholes!"
Ruka prepared himself and sat at the edge of the sofa with a pillow covering his face thinking that Hotaru would hurt him. Hotaru went to him and instead of hitting him she kissed him passionately and then slapped him so hard his cheeks were as red as an apple.
Yamyam-chan:Do you like it?? I'm making Natsume suffer!!
Natsume: I hate you!! I'm gonna burn you and I'm gonna change this chapter
Yamyam-chan: If you do that then I'll be writing stories with you not ending up with Mikan, I'll make her be with Yuto instead…. laughs
Natsume sulks in a corner
Mikan: Natsu-kun, what's wrong?? Are you alright??
