Chapter Ten : Realisation

Mikan didn't know what to say as Natsume looked down on her. In the past three minutes or so, she has received more kisses than she ever did! But that idiot of a girl still didn't understand what Natsume craved to hear. Mikan gently shoved Natsume away and stood up straight, brushing away dirt from her pyjamas. ( she just had to break that intense moment!)

" Natsume, I don't know what you mean. Anyway, I should be going now, bye Natsume. " and with that Mikan was about to leave when Natsume grasped the upper part of her arm and turned her around roughly.

" Are you so in love with that Tsubasa that you don't understand what I mean?! " snapped Natsume. He's control broke free. He couldn't take it anymore. Maybe Mikan was an idiot, but was she so stupid that she couldn't understand anything?

" Natsume you are hurting me! " exclaimed Mikan. She just couldn't understand what she said that got Natsume so angry.

Natsume stared at her for sometime. He couldn't think of any other way in which he could make her understand...make her feel what he felt...for her. He let go of her suddenly. He felt frustrated. How on earth did he fall in love with the world's greatest idiot?

Mikan stood there, staring at him. She didn't know what to do. Then suddenly Natsume broke the uncomforable silence.

" Go. " said Natsume slowly.

" Natsume..." Mikan started to say.

" I said GO! " shouted Natsume.

Mikan walked away silently but just before she entered the building, she glanced back just once at Natsume. He was leaning against the Sakura Tree, staring at her. Mikan turned back and dissapeared inside the building.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mikan entered her room with tears in her eyes. She didn't understand what she did that made Natsume that angry.

" Maybe I should have taken flowers with me. " and that was the most Mikan could think of.

But no matter what, Mikan couldn't forget that speak of dissapointment in Natsume's eyes.

" What did he mean? "...

Natsume didn't move from his spot. He got back up on the Sakura Tree and leaned down on one of the branches.

" What did I do wrong? " was the only thing Natsume could think of.

" Natsume. " someone called from below.

Natsume jerked back to reality and looked down to see a smiling Tsubasa.

" What do you want?" was Natsume's immediate response.

" Maybe you could come down and we could talk? " asked Tsubasa.

" Leave me alone. " said Natsume, but Tsubasa didn't pay heed to what Natsume said and sat leaning on the Sakura Tree.

" Didn't you hear what..." Natsume was about to shout at Tsubasa when Tsubasa broke in.

" How much do you love Mikan? " cut in Tsubasa.

Natsume was taken aback by Tsubasa's sudden outburst.

" I don't love that idiot." was Natsume's reply.

" Oh come on, stop being arrogant for a change and tell me the truth." said Tsubasa, smirking to himself.

" ... "

" Are you thinking of another excuse? " asked Tsubasa.

" Shut up! this is none of your business! " Natsume got down from the tree and was making his way back to the building when Tsubasa's words stopped him.

" You are a bigger idiot than her u know. " blurted out Tsubasa.

Natsume stood still for sometime then started walking again.

As soon as Natsume was out of sight, Tsubasa stood up, smiled, and left.

The next in Alice Academy was very weird. Mikan entered the classroom all sad and gloomy. She didnot even greet any one a good morning, not even Hotaru. Whereas Natsume was as quiet as ever with a whole lot of negative energy around him. Everyone could sense that something was wrong.

Classes began and Mr. Narumi waltzed inside the classroom.

" Hello everyone, do you all remeber your assignments?" asked Narumi.

" Assignments?" the whole class chorused. ( except for a few certain people.)

" Hmm, I knew you would forget. I gave you assignments before the masked ball which were all postponed remember?" asked Narumi.

The whole class regained back it's consiousness and remembered the given assignment.

" As the masked ball is now over, we can carry on with our assignments. I expect all of you to submit your assignments by the end of this week." informed Narumi.

" Yes Mr. Narumi." chanted the classroom.

" And don't forget about your partners children. Work hard and make me proud." said Narumi.

It was just then that it hit both Natsume that he and Mikan were supposed to be partners for this assignment. He looked at Mikan who was carefully inspecting her newly sharped pencil.

" She doesn't remember...that idiot doesn't have a clue." Natsume sighed and continued reading his manga.

The rest of the lesson went on smoothly and the class was soon dismissed.

Suddenly Natsume heard Mikan's annoying voice.

" Hotaru, lets go work on our assignment! " exclaimed Mikan.

Hotaru took out her baka gun and hit Mikan hard on the head.

" Go work with your own partner." and with that Hotaru left.

" My own partner?? Who's that? " asked Mikan a bit confused.

" Mikan, Natsume is your partner." said Yuu.

" Whaaatt??! Natsume is my partner!? " exclaimed Mikan.

" Yah." said Yuu. " Well anyway, I have to go now. Bye Mikan." saying that, Yuu left.

Mikan glanced back at Natsume who was reading his manga as usual.

" Umm...Natsume, don't you think we should get to work on our assignments? " asked Mikan, forgetting all about her previous misery.

" Get away from me Polka dots." said Natsume.

" Natsume! I don't know about you, but I want to get good grades in my assignment. If you won't help me then I will do it myself." Mikan stomped out of the door as Natsume stared after her.

" Doesn't she remember anything? "...

Mikan was working her head off as Tsubasa entered the classroom.

" What are you doing princess?" asked Tsubasa cheerfully.

" Oh hey Tsubasa, I was just working on the assignment that Mr. Narumi gave us. " said Mikan.

" Alone? Where's your partner? " asked Tsubasa casually.

" Well...I don't know." said Mikan slowly.

" Want me to help you?" asked Tsubasa.

" Yah sure, but shouldn't you be with your own partner? " asked Mikan.

" We're taking a break. " explained Tsubasa.

" Oh, I see...then lets get to work! " exclaimed Mikan.

" Where on earth is that idiot? " Natsume wondered as he walked by Central Town.

" She's back in the classroom. " said a passing Koko.

" Who cares. " snapped back Natsume.

Natsume started walking away as Koko stopped him.

" Natsume? " said Koko.

" What? " grunted back Natsume.

" Better hurry, she's with Tsubasa." saying this, Koko left...

Natsume got on the first bus leaving for the academy. He just couldn't bear that Tsubasa near his Mikan. As the bus reached the academy, Natsume jumped off and made his way towards the classroom. As he neared the class, he could hear laughter coming from within and more...

" Oh , so thats how it's done! " said Mikan.

" Yah princess, see, it's quite easy. " said Tsubasa.

Natsume stood by the door way listening to the conversation going on inside. He wasn't an eavesdropper, but he just couldn't help himself, and whom did Tsubasa think he was calling princess?! How dare he?? Mikan is his and his alone!

" Princess? " asked Tsubasa.

" Yah, Tsubasa? " asked Mikan.

" What is Natsume to you? " asked Tsubasa.

Natsume peeped inside the classroom. He couldn't help it any longer. They were talking about him! and he was craving to hear Mikan's answer...

" Huh? Natsume? " asked Mikan.

" Yah...him " replied Tsubasa.

" You asked me that before right? " said Mikan.

Natsume stood motionless beside the classroom door. They talked about him before?? What the hell was going on?!

" Well...yah...but I was wondering...has your answer changed since then? " asked Tsubasa slowly.

" Well...I don't know..." said Mikan.

" I just..." Tsubasa looked at the door and spotted Natsume staring at him with venomous eyes.

" Natsume!? " exclaimed Mikan. " I thought you went to Central Town."

Without a word, Natsume walked into the classroom, took Mikan by the hand, collected her books and stuff, and then walked out of the room.

" Hey! " whinned Mikan. " What do you think your doing?! Where are you taking me? "

" To my room. " answered back Natsume.

" Why?? Why are we going to your room? " asked Mikan.

" To do the assignment." snapped back Natsume.

" But Tsuba..." started Mikan.

" Shut up! " and that was all that was said on the way to Natsume's room.

Tsubasa kept sitting on the classroom bench, smiling to himself...

" Thanks Koko..." Tsubasa said slowly...

Once in Natsume's room, he slammed Mikan's books on the desk and roughly pushed her towards the couch. And then, atlast he broke the silence...

" We will be doing our assignments here every day starting now. " said Natsume slowly.

" When? " asked Mikan.

" Whenever I say! " snapped Natsume.

Mikan stared at him for sometime and then began...

" Natsume? " asked Mikan.

" ... "

" Well.. I am sorry about last night." said Mikan.

" She does remember! " thought Natsume.

" I realised that I should have brought flowers for you." added Mikan. " That's why you were angry right?? Because I didn't bring anything with me for you??right?? "

Natsume stared at her for sometime. He was somehow a bit...shocked...with Mikan's conclusion of him being angry at her. But he couldn't help but smile at her stupidity.

" Let's start working on the darn assignment. " said Natsume.

" Sure! " said Mikan happily.

Once they had finished for the day, Mikan was up and ready to leave.

" Well I better go now! " said Mikan.

" Hmm." said Natsume as he got up from the couch. " I...umm...I'll walk you...to the door." said Natsume with utmost difficulty.

" Okay!" exclaimed Mikan.

They quitely walked towards the door and Natsume held the door open.

" So I'll see you tomorrow then." said Mikan.

" Hmm." grunted Natsume.

" Same time?" asked Mikan.

" No! " snapped Natsume. " Whenever I want! "

" Oh..okay! " said Mikan. " Bye then!"

" ... "

Natsume stared after Mikan as she walked along the hallway. A sudden gust of wind, blew her skirt a little, but Mikan didn't notice it.

Natsume smirked to himself.

" Watermelons..." said Natsume slowy...
