Previously...

"They sure look good together." Yuka complimented.

"They sure do," Kaito agreed. "Your daughter has talent."

"So does your son." Yuka added. "Mikan told me that when they were little, their pastime was arguing with each other, calling each other names, and all those other things."

"Is that so? I guess all those gave good results."

"Haha. It did. It really did."

Chapter 10:: Moving

Mikan's POV

I was so happy that otou-san approved. I never expected that. Natsume and I are currently looking around the mall. My left arm was locked woth Natsume's right arm. As we were walking around, I could feel eyes looking at us. It's giving me the creeps. I'm not paranoid or anything, it's just that it gives me an awkward feeling.

"They look so cute together!" a random person just squealed.

"Perfect couple!" another person said.

'This is giving me such an awkward feeling... I never really liked getting so much attention... Unlike this person beside me, he's used to it due to his fan girls.' I thought. He seemed to have read my mind when he answered,

"Oi Little Girl, I know you're getting that awkward feeling... Don't mind them." he whispered to me calmly.

I didn't really bother answering his statement. We passed by this shop, my attention was caught by a sky blue dress. It goes 2 inches past the knee, I think. The style was like a sleeveless top, a white lace was on the waist line. It looked simple yet elegant. I was standing there, dumbfounded and still, as if I lived during the Ice Age and got frozen.

"Oi." the raven haired man called for the tenth time. 'She seems to be in a trance... Typical for someone like her...' he thought.

"Huh?" I snapped back to reality. "Ne, Natsume... I want that dress." I pointed like a little child showing his dad what he/she want. I also tugged his shirt which made him annoyed.

"You really are a little girl.." he gave me his trademark smirk. "No.. I won't buy that, it's too expensive." he sticked his tongue out.

"Eh? Doshite?!" I was like a little brat.

"It's too expensive. Let's go Baka Youjo." I let out a sigh.

"Fine..." we walking again around the mall. It was quiet, too quiet in fact. Now, my arm wasn't locked with his. "Anou..."

"Nani?" his hands stuffed in his pockets.

"Betsuni..." I looked down and continued walking.

Normal POV

The two were walking past a shop when someone recognized them.

"Natsume! Mikan!" a familiar voice called. The two turned around to look at the same time.

"Ruka-pyon!" the brunette beamed a smile at him.

"Hey Ruka." the raven haired man replied. Ruka signaled the two to go there and sit with him, and so they went.

"Do you guys want to eat something?" he inquired.

"Iie." the two said in unison.

"Thanks for the offer Ruka-pyon but you see, we just ate lunch." Mikan humbly replied. "Anyways, how come you never told me, I mean us, that you and Hotaru are married?"

"Well... we were supposed to tell everyone about it during the Christmas reunion but... I don't know what happened. And Hotaru said not to tell you because of your reaction."

"She said that?!" Mikan slammed the table lightly. The two men were shocked by her immediate actions but they kept their cool.

"Oi Ichigo-kara, calm down." the raven haired man told his fiancé. 'Uh-oh... I shouldn't have said that... Shit.' he thought.

"Ichigo-ka-" then it came to her. He saw it. "NATSU-" she was cut when Natsume placed his hand over her mouth.

"Shh! Don't be too loud Baka!"

"Mmmmmmmm!!!" (Take your hand off my mouth!!!) she mumbled.

"What?!"

"I think she's saying take your hand off my mouth." Ruka guessed. Mikan nodded.

"Ah." He quickly removed his hand off her mouth. Mikan gasped for air.

"NATSU-" Mikan was about to scream again. Because of Natsume's sharp hearing ability, he quickly knew she was about to do it again. He quickly closed the huge gap between them. Mikan's eyes were as big as saucers. Slowly, she started to close her eyes. He licked her lower lip and she responded to it. It was long, sweet, passionate, and it was true. His hand was grazing up her body slowly until it reached her neck and he pulled her closer to him. Her hands unconsciously made its way up his neck and encircled it.

Ruka, who was shocked by Natsume's sudden actions, was frozen still. Everyone who passed by looked at the two who were kissing.

"Mi-Mikan?? Na-Natsume??" Ruka stuttered. He was twitching.

A minute or two had passed and they parted, both taking in air. A smirk was plastered on Natsume's face while Mikan's face was flushed with 100 shades of red.

"You called Ruka?" Natsume gave Ruka a quick glance and his attention was again drawn by the brunette who was now quiet.

"Ah.. It's nothing." Ruka told him and laughed nervously.

"Hn."

A ring was heard. The ringing sound was from Natsume's cellular phone. He got his phone and flipped it open. "Hello?"

"Son, I just talked to Mikan's mother, I asked her if it's okay that her daughter would transfer to our house." Kaito informed his son.

"And you asked her that without my permission." Natsume was pissed.

"Ahe.." Kaito laughed nervously. "Anyways, her mother said that it's okay with her. The thing is, we're not sure if Mikan would ag-" he was cut.

"Just talk to her." Natsume handed his phone to Mikan. "It's dad."

"Otou-san? Okay..." she grabbed the phone from him. "Uhm... Hello?"

"Mikan dear, I only wanted to ask you if you would want to transfer to our house. I asked your mother about it and she's okay with it."

"Nani?! Transfer to your house?" Mikan was taken aback. "Demo..."

"If you're thinking about your house, your mom said that she would be the one who would live there."

"Demo... Is it okay with Natsume?" she questioned.

"I'll just have to talk to him about that."

"Ah.. Hai..." she answered. 'Living with the Hyuuga's?'

"What's your decision?"

"Uhm.. I guess it's okay."

"Yeah! Anyways, may I speak to Natsume?"

"Ah. Hai." Mikan handed the phone back to Natsume. "He wants to talk to you."

"Tch," he got his phone back. "What now?"

"She was asking if it's okay with you."

"Whatever."

"Okay. It's settled. She'll be moving today."

"What? Today!" he was surprised and his eyes widened, but he kept composed.

"Yeah."

"Where would she stay is she's moving today?"

"In your room of course."

"She's moving today and gonna stay in my room! Are you crazy!?" he was now shouting.

"Maybe.. Anyways, ja!" Kaito turned off the call.

"Oi, you'll be moving today and you'll be staying with me in my room." he said frankly to Mikan.

"What?!" Mikan was surprised. Her eyes widened a bit.

"Uhm.. Guys, what are you talking about?" Ruka asked, he was being left-out.

"Gomen ne Ruka-pyon... It's just because of a sudden decision between my mom and his dad." Mikan explained.

"Ah. Uhm..." he paused. "Are you two together now?" Mikan looked at Natsume and he looked back. Natsume nodded.

"Hai..." Mikan replied.

"Ah." Ruka nodded. "I wish that the two of you would be happy." Mikan just giggled.

"Anyways, we'll be going. This Baka Youjo still has to fix her things."

"Okay. Ja." Ruka replied as the two stood up.

"Ja." The two said in unison. Mikan waved while Natsume just stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Oi. Let's go. You still have to prepare your things."

"Hai." The two of them went to the parking lot and into the car. Natsume drove for 30 minutes and they reached her house. Both of them went down. They were welcomed by Mikan's maids and butlers. "Aya-chan?"

"Hai Sakura-sama?"

"Please prepare my mother's room, she'll be staying here while I'm going to move to another house." Mikan told her. A sad smile crept to Mikan's and Aya's face.

"Oh... I hope that you'll be happy there." Aya-chan told her.

"Anou... Please prepare something for Natsume."

"Hai." Aya-chan quickly went to the kitchen and made something.

"Natsume, just stay there for a while. I'm just going to fix my things. Oh yeah... Aya-chan would be serving you something." Mikan quickly went to her room and changed her clothes. She wore a sky blue top and beige cargo pants. She now let her hair down. Mikan looked for a bag pack in a cabinet. She got her clothes and her undergarments. She stuffed it in the bag neatly. She took another bag and placed there all her purses, and other small bags. And again, she took another bag and placed there all her shoes.

While Mikan was packing her things, Natsume was sitting comfortably on the couch. It was soft and spacious.

"Natsume-sama," Aya-chan called his attention and placed a glass of juice on the table in front of him and some cupcakes. "Please help yourself." She bowed and left.

"Hn," he took a bite on one of the cupcakes on the table. "It's good.."

After a while, small thuds could be heard. Mikan could be seen carrying three bags. Natsume quickly stood up and went to her.

"Here." Natsume extended his hand to help her. Mikan gave him a bag, the one filled with shoes.

"Arigatou Natsume," Mikan saw that there were cupcake wrappers on the table. "Ne, Natsume... What did Aya serve you?"

"Cupcakes and a glass of juice,"

"Cupcakes?!" Mikan quickly knew that the cupcakes served to him were the ones she made because she's the only one who bakes there.

"Doshite?" he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Uhm... It's just I made those..."

"I never knew that Ichigo-kara knows how to bake."

"NA-"

"Don't scream or else I'll do what I did a while ago." he threatened her.

"Hmph!" Mikan and Natsume then went outside the house. Natsume placed her things in the trunk while Mikan was saying goodbye to her butlers and maids. After that, Mikan quickly went in the car. Natsume then drove off.

A few moments later, they reached the Hyuuga mansion. Natsume went down first and Mikan was dumbfounded by the size of it. Her jaw was dropping. Natsume then opened her door.

"Oi, get out. We're here." Mikan quickly followed. She grabbed her things in the trunk and walked side by side with Natsume towards the entrance door. Mikan kept on blabbering about random things. "Give your things to them. They'll bring those in the room."

"Ah... Hai." Mikan gave her bags. "Arigatou." Natsume was the first one to enter the house followed by Mikan. Their living room was so big, it was like a hotel lobby. A chandelier was hanging in the middle of the room. "Sugoi!!"

Footsteps were heard, the person wasn't walking, the person was actually running. Mikan turned around to see who it was.

"Aoi-chan?"

"Mikan onee-san?" The two stared at each other for a while. Aoi went closer to Mikan and hugged her. "I missed you onee-san..."

"I missed you too Aoi."

"You know each other?" Natsume butted in.

"Yeah." the two said in unison as they parted from the hug.

"How?" the two looked at each other and Mikan winked while Aoi smiled.

"None of your business." both said and they laughed after. Of course, Natsume didn't really seem to care about that, he was just curious.

"Ne, onee-san... What are you doing here?" Aoi tilted her head a bit to the side.

"Your dad, I mean, otou-san asked me to stay here."

"Ah... Matte... Did you say otou-san?"

"Hai."

"So... You're really my sister!"

"Yeah..." Mikan nodded.

"How?"

"She's my fiancé," Natsume went beside Mikan and he placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Sou da ne..."

"Anyways Aoi... I'll see you later. I'm going to take a rest first ne?"

"Hai!"

"Natsume," Mikan called him. Natsume just nodded. He guided Mikan to his room. When they were inside the room, the walls were painted white because of his father. Natsume really wanted the walls to be black. A king-sized bed with black sheets was placed at one side of one of the room. Across the bed was the bathroom. The room had a big window and if you look outside, the view you'd see are the infamous Sakura trees. The bed had a side table on the left with a lamp on it. Near the window, there was a desk and a laptop was placed on it. "I'm gonna change first."

"Hn. Your things are there." he pointed to the bags. "Put them in there." he pointed to a cabinet.

"Hai... I'll do that later," Mikan got a sleeveless shirt, undergarments and shorts. She went in the washroom and changed. She rinsed her face. A few minutes passed, Mikan went out of the bathroom. She walked towards the bed and sat on its edge. Natsume was lying down on the bed, his hands under his head. He was staring blankly at the ceiling.

The next thing they knew, Mikan was already lying down on the bed beside him. Her eyes were getting heavy. She placed herself under the sheets. Soon enough, she fell asleep. Natsume was observing her features.

"She's still smiling when she sleeps..." Natsume told no one but himself.

"Nat-sume..." Mikan muttered in her sleep.

"Still thinking of me Ichigo-kara?" a smile crept up to his face. Yes, a smile not a smirk. It was a shame that Mikan was asleep. A few moments later, Natsume also fell asleep. Mikan stirred and moved towards him. Natsume unconsciously placed his hand around her waist. Mikan snuggled towards him more. Her head was now buried on his chest. Natsume's hug tightened.

Outside...

Aoi was walking down the hall and stopped in front of his onii-san's room. She peeked a bit and he saw her onii-san and onee-san sleeping together in one bed. 'Hehe... That's... nice? I'm happy for onii-san!!' she thought. She closed the door as quietly as she could as not to wake the two up.

Natsume's Dream / POV

I was in a place unknown to me. It was dark, no light could be seen, just pure darkness.

"Natsume..." a familiar voice called out, it was faint. "Natsume..."

"Mikan?"

"..."

"Mikan!" I was running, looking for her but I never found her. I stopped. Then everything changed. I was now in a room, it was painted white. I looked down and saw a trail of red footsteps. 'Blood?' I thought. I followed the trail and stopped. I saw a pool of blood. I looked at the center and there I found a person lying down. She, the person, had long brown chocolate hair. Her eyes were half opened. I looked at her intently. "MIKAN!" I screamed to my horror. I went closer to her and knelt down.

"Natsume..." a smile was visible on her beautiful face.

"What happened to you?" there was a hint of concern in his voice.

"..." she just smiled. She reached out her hand and caressed his cheek. "Aishiteru, Natsume..." then it struck her. She began to stir uncontrollably. "Itai..." She was feeling the pain I felt before, the pain I never wanted her to feel.

"Gomen Mikan." she stopped when I said her name.

"When you say my name, it seems that all my troubles and all the pain I'm experiencing are being washed away..." she smiled again, a much wider one. Her eyes were starting to get heavy. "Natsume.." Mikan was attempting to sit, I supported her with my hand. Our faces were only inches apart. I closed the gap between us. Tears started to form in her auburn eyes and soon they started to fall. As we parted, she was breathing heavily. "Natsume... Smile and live for me." Her eyes were starting to close. I placed her down but she kept caressing my cheek.

"MIKAN!! DON'T!! ONEGAI!!" I pleaded. "I love you, Mikan..." those three words I had a hard time saying finally came out. I saw her smiling.

"I love you too, Natsume..." She said as her eyes closed fully. Her hand that was caressing my cheek was slowly sliding down and eventually fell. I felt tears form in my eyes. I didn't stop them from falling, I let them slide down my cheeks. I hugged her corpse tightly. Hanging onto it as if it was my life.. The last word she said was my name.

"MIKAN!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed.

End Dream and POV

Natsume's eyes opened wide. He had a nightmare. He looked at the woman beside him and held her tightly. Beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.

"I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." he held her tighter as if she was his life. He closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
