Natsume opened to see that the sun was shining up in the sky. He checked his watch and screamed; 9:00 AM. He winced as he felt his right eye sting. Natsume fished his phone out of his wallet to check it. He was more than surprised to see that it was black and swollen; just like how his other eye looked the night before.

What surprised him more was that he was there at the beach; sprawled around the ground. It took all of Natsume's strenght to stand up and to go back at the cabana's. He saw Ruka making barbique's and that he has a smile similar to Mikan's plastered over his face.

'Mikan?' Natsume looked around to look for the brunette with the most annoying voice. "Hey, where's polkadots?" He asked; trying to sound nonchalant. Ruka shrugged. "I don't know. But she seems pretty upset."

A vein popped at his head. "What happened to her?" Ruka twitched. 'He's mad. But he doesn't even know that he's the reason'. "Like I said, she seems upset. I suggest you stay away. Well, that's what Hotaru told me to rely to you."

He raised a brow. "Hmph. I don't care anyway." Ruka sweatdropped as he notice Natsume fidgeting a bit. 'He cares, he just can't admit it.' He thought with a great sigh. Natsume opened the fridge to find an ice pack to place to his eyes. "Ruka, I want to tell you something."

Ruka turned to him. "I'm listening." Natsume sighed. "I can't remember what happened last night. Do you know what happened? And I even have freakin' black eye." Ruka sighed as Natsume grumbled. "Are you sure you want to know?"

Ruka started even before Natsume could even reply. "Look, you were with Mikan yesterday, okay?" Natsume's eyes litted-up. "Have I done anything to her!" A vein popped on Ruka's fore-head. He grabbed a plate and throwed it at Natsume.

Natsume was able to catch it. "What!" Ruka grumbled. "You are such a pervert." Natsume smirked at him. "As much as I try, I can't change that." Ruka sighed. "Now, back to the topic, no nothing like what you are thinking happened."

If Ruka admitted that Natsume looked 'a bit' dissapointed, he too would get a black eye. "Natsume, she also said that you said the name of a girl." Natsume's expression didn't changed much. "So?" Ruka sweatdropped. 'He is dense even though he doesn't look it..'

"Don't you still get it? Mikan is mad because you said the name of another girl when you're with her!" Was what Ruka wanted to say, but just settled with a shrug of the shoulders. "Whatever you did though, I think you need to apologize."

"No way in hell." Natsume snapped.

Ruka sighed. 'He is hopeless in all ways possible..'

*O*

Mikan was back on her good mood. Being who she is, she just can't stay mad at the boy. And the spa helped her relaxed too. And who cares about the name of a person anyway? Mikan sighed as the smell of jasmine rosed through the air.

Alone inside the spa with a massager is probably the best thing that happened to her ever since she was young. Mikan, and the other girls, had a different past. When they were young, it was-.. 'Shut your trap, my mind'.

Mikan told herself. 'I don't even want to think about it since I can't even explain it.' She sighed to herself. Mikan opened her eyes slowly. 'If only I knew what really did happened when I was young, then me and the other's probably won't have too much problems.'

The door opened quietly. Mikan turned to see Misaki. "Oh, hi, Misaki." She greeted with a smile. Misaki smiled back at her, she was the one who told the others to "Don't bother Mikan because that girl doesn't hold grudges so fuckin' easily."

Trailing behind Misaki is another massager. "Relaxing too?" Mikan asked. Misaki grinned. "Tsubasa's been annoying." Mikan giggled. "You too are cute together." Misaki scowled at her and Mikan laughed this time. After then, Misaki smiled. "Glad you're good again." Mikan smiled back. "What he did wasn't that bed."

Misaki sighed to herself as she plop down the bed. "He is lucky you are such a nice person."

*O*
