Chapter Ten: I'm falling for you...

Mikan sat in the school grounds, eating a sandwich that she had made herself as she sighed and stared around, it would soon be the end of the summer in the future, but she didn't mind, she wanted to see winter, but, if she had to endure the end of the summer, why not endure it with Natsume Hyuuga, who was her age.

She smiled to herself and then sighed, finishing her sandwich and staring up at the blue clouded sky, then stared down at the battered ribbon on her wrist, and smiled sadly. She wondered if that ribbon was still wrapped around that tree?

Of course it would be, if it had blown away, Mikan would not be wearing it, now. She then looked back up to the skies and saw eagles circling the clouds like vultures. It made her laugh a little at their silliness. It always amused her how birds flew, she wanted to fly, like some of the alice students, back home. She missed them, alot, and she may have been pretty popular here, but nothing could compare to her real home.

Mikan's back pressed against the tree she sat under, it shaded her from the blazing sun and kept her hidden well. Mikan just wanted to spend time on thinking about Natsume and her friends that she surely did miss, alot.

The clouds swirled in the sky as she watched them and sighed, closing her eye lids and trying to rest, that reminded her of a certain raven haired black cat, all she needed was the manga. Then, she found something beside her, how had that gotten there?

She stared at the manga, the cover showed a girl, a chestnut haired girl, at that, and it was called 'When Sakura Falls', Mikan stared at it, dumbfounded, her ened name, and she had fallen, into the future... Was this... All about her?

The picture looked like her, the same clothes and old hairstyle she used to wear. She flicked through it, and realised, this was about her, all her. About Mikan going to the future. In all, there were four volumes, Mikan gasped.

Someone wrote about her. She got up, and ran towards the bus station for Central Town, she needed that manga, immediately! She wanted all four volumes, to read and to see how it ended. She had to get them, or, she wouldn't know if she would return or not.

Mikan was out of breath when she reached the bus stop, and boarded with other students. She sat there with the manga in her lap, who could have written about her? How could they? She wondered, and sighed. It said that the creator of the manga was unknown, their pen name was Rose-Blades, and they were female. Mikan sighed, who was this publisher? She needed to know to ask them about how they knew about her.

Once she reached Central Town, Mikan ran straight towards the manga shop to buy those books, she had enough rabbits with her, around 50000 rabbits at the most, and she saw that the shop was mainly filled with boys who stared at her and drooled. Mikan had to admit, she grew to be prettier.

She walked around and went straight to the fantasy section, and looked for the volumes of the book. She then saw them, the first had a yellow cover, the second a blue one and the third a red, ut the fourth... It wasn't there, at all.

Mikan gasped, she frantically tried to look for it, but couldn't, so she went to the front desk and asked, and was shocked to find out... IT WASN'T EVEN MADE YET!!! Mikan gasped, but, payed for the other two that she needed, and she ran out of the shop and went to sit on the grass under a sakura tree. She read all of those books as people walked past her, and boys stared at her, wondering iof she was really a 10 year old girl.

She looked older, 13 or more, maybe. Mikan's hair was cascading over her shoulders and down her back, her fringe covering her forehead and swaying gently in the wind, she had for some reason, grown a fringe and it suited her. She sighed, and then finished the second book. Interesting... In that one she had met her older self, and it also had some glimpses of the boy she loved so dearly in it... How?

And why did this person know so much about her? Why? She was so confused, so, she looked at the bluey white sky for answers, but found none, but she stayed staring at it, wondering how her story would end.

If it would ever end, that is.

Mikan closed the manga book and stared at the back cover, then let her head hang as she sat there, her legs crossed and her hand over the back cover of the book, covering the synopsis. She wanted to see him... So bad.

Tears filled her hazel eyes, and she started to cry, her silvery tears falling onto the manga book cover and her pale hands. She turned a hand into a small fist, and she sniffed, her hair covering her face so that only her tears were visible. No one noticed this, they thought she was asleep and thought best not to bother the child. Mikan just cried silently to herself, thinking of Natsume, wanting to be with him...

So, so much. How could she live without him? If he was so far away from her... She would never survive. She was so sure of it.

"What's wrong?" a voice asked, it was a voice that sounded distant, yet caring, Mikan gasped and looked up, tears staining her beautiful features and her eyes wide as the droplets of salty tears covered her lashes. Who was that person?

They had shoulder length red hair in a ponytail, and they were male. This person had some familiar features. Who was it? Then, Mikan noticed something, they had his eyes... Tsubasa Andou's eyes...

"Tsu-Tsubasa!" she cried, adn they smiled at her, holding out their hand and helping Mikan up, staring at the pretty girl in front of him, he shook his head.

"I'm his... son. Nice to finally meet you, Mikan Sakura. My father told me I would most likely meet you. Apparently, you travelled from the past, right?" he asked, and Mikan gasped, then nodded.

"Y-Yes! I am Mikan Sakura, pleased to meet you, Andou-san!" she cried and he smiled as she bowed, so graceful... He lifted her head with his hand and she stared into his eyes. Definately Tsubasa's kind eyes...

"Call me Rai, let's be friends, and, you can tell me, things, right? And I might even be able to help you, Mikan." he said as Mikan gasped, and then smiled, nodding happily. She followed him, holding her precious manga as Rei took her back to the academy, and they went into his dorm room and sat in there. She saw he was a one star student.

"Mikan... Do you know my parents travel around the world?" he asked, and Mikan shook her head. She would never place Tsubasa as the kind of person to travel, but, the world was full of suprises, she realised, and smiled as Rei made her some tea and she sipped it. Honey flavour, with a hint of lemon.

"Never, why? Where are they at the moment?" she asked as Rei stared at her and smiled, shrugging, did he even know?

"I doubt they are here. They never tell me, but, they always send me letters and presents, they love me, they say, but you know I would trade everything they gave me just to see them." he said, sighing, and Mikan smiled, he was so kind.

"Demo, it's their choice, and I stay here. But enough about my problems, we need to get you back to your time. i am sure Dominoe Hyuuga has been helping you, am I right?" he asked as Mikan nodded, and he smiled, when someone knocked on the door, loudly...

"Erm... Come in?" he asked, and in walked in Hunny Shouda, smirking as she spied her eye candy, Rei, even if he was 2 years younger than her, she was still the president of his fan club, and she LOVED him!

She then saw Mikan, and blinked.

"Hey, Mikan-chan, why are you in Rei-kin's room?" she asked as Mikan finished her tea and smiled, staring at Hunny nicely.

"He's helping me to return to my time, to see my Natsume-kun again!" she said happily, and Hunny gasped. She didn't WANT Mikan to leave, she liked her too much, Mikan was like, the only other person who understood her other than Dominoe and Rei, who she adored, may the authoress add?

"No! Mikan I forbid you to leave! I mean, you're my friend and you're nice and sweet and you actually got to know me properly, not because I'm quite popular. Why do you have to go, we had fun, right? PLEASE don't leave me!" sobbed the girl as Mikan stared at her, then smiled and went to hug Hunny tightly, and she realized she was the same height as her friend now, so, she had changed.

Alot.

Mikan then pulled away and stared at Hunny, smiling with a few watery tears in her eyes,

"Demo... I have to leave, I need to go back to Natsume-kun, and everyone from my time. If I don't leave the future will go wrong and I won't meet you in the future again, ever. Because this keeps going on, when I grow up, you'll be born, and a new me would be born, it keeps going on, this circle of life. Understood?" she asked, and Hunny shook her head, Mikan laughed,

"Me neither, i confused you, sorry. But, I'll see you again, I promise." Mikan whispered as tears spilled down her cheeks, and Hunny sniffed, nodding. The they turned to Rei.

"How can i get back?" Mikan asked as he stared at the girls, then smiled and stood up, looking out of the window.

"Watch this," he said, and they ran to the window as he put his fingers in his mouth and whisteled, it was low and loud, and then, suddenly, a portal started to open up as they gasped and stared at it, and he grinned.

"Ready to go home, Mikan Sakura?" he asked as Mikan stared at the portal, pale and shaking as she clutched the manga's close to her chest and the ribbon stayed tightly on her wrist, and she stared at both Hunny and Rei, then gave them a shaky smiled, before hugging them and sniffing.

"Thank you." she whispered and the tears were visible in her brown eyes, and she stepped forward, reayd to stand on the window ledge and jump into the portal, when someone yelled at her to stop, and she turned around, to see Dominoe, crying. Mikan gasped, and ran towards the teenage girl who stared at Mikan.

"Don't leave without saying goodbye, you're my mother. Parents never leave without saying goodbye." cried the teenager as Mikan stared at her, and smiled, sniffing and then hugging Dominoe as Rei and Hunny's mouths dropped, and the two girls hugged longer than expected, tears in their eyes as Mikan then kissed the tp of Dominoe's head and smiled.

"I won't ever leave without saying goodbye, Domi-chan. I can't wait to ahev you in the future for me. Stay safe." mikan whispered, and then she ran to the portal and stood on the ledge as they watched her, and Hunny growled,

"You had better remember us, you know!" she cried as Mikan smiled, and nodded.

"Of course!" she said, and Hunny then smiled, and started to cry as Rei waved and Mikan jumped into the portal, suddenly, remembering her friends. (Oh man this sucks!)

Mikan sighed as the portal closed, and Dominoe stopped waving and she smiled, then turned around, and walked out of the room as Hunny and Rei stayed there, and sighed. Dominoe walked out of the dorm rooms and halls, and into the fresh air, staring at the Sakura tree and smiling a little, then, taking out something from under her shirt...

In a cottage, Mikan Hyuuga sat at her table, reading a manga book as she smiled to herself, then closed it once she finished. The cover was coloured orange, and it was the latest manga in the 'When Sakura Falls' series, and in walked Natsume, staring at her.

"What are you reading?" he asked as Mikan smiled and showed him the manga.

"I showed you three other manga's, all the ones made before this a long time ago, they are somewhere, but finally, the last one is here. The way it all ended. Remember?2 Mikan asked as Natsume stared at her, and smiled, kissing her cheek and playing with her long hair as she smiled, sadly, almost.

"Who knew that Dominoe would make something like this?" Natsume asked as Mikan smiled, then nodded, and kissed him back before standing up, and fixing her hair into her old childish pigtails and walking towards the door, putting on her jacket and smiling at him.

"I have to go meet an old friend." she said, and walked out, heading straight towards the Academy...

Doushite doushite suki nan darou,
konna ni namida afureteru
ano koro, ushinau, mono ga oosukite nani mo utaenakatte
sukoshi hanarete basho soko ga watashi no ibasho datta.
Kimi no hitomi no oku ni ano hi samishisa wo mitsuketa.
Futari niteru no kana?
Kitsukeba itsu mo tonari ni ite kureta!!!

Mikan found herself in a rainbow of colours, and she was travelling through a portal, she gasped, and smiled, she wasn't forgetting everything, she was remembering it, she wanted to cry, but then, she felt the portal open and she saw a light, and gasped. She was going back...

Doushite kana ni suki nan darou,
kimi no koe kanshii hodo hibiteru yo,
ima made, nani ga sasae datte ka
tooku hanarete wakatta yo.

Nakinagara sagashi tsudukete maigo no kodomo no you ni...
Kedo soko ni ha eien nante aru wake nakute
"dare ni mo shinjinakereba iin da yo" tsubuyaita ne.

"Okay class, we are starting now, go to your seats and be quiet. Today's topic is gravity..." started Mitsuki sensai as everyone groaned and went to walk to their seats as Natsume stood up from the desk he was trying to sleep at, and was ready to walk to his desk, when everyone heard a sound, a screechy sound, a... Scream?

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" screamed an unforgetable girl as Natsume's eyes widened and he looked up, seeing a falling Mikan and suddenly she smiled, her arms out in front of her as she fell down on top of Natsume, in an awkward position, and she gasped, smiling as everyone screamed, she was back!

And in the UGLIEST uniform they had ever seen! Manga spilled on the floor as she flung her arms around Natsume's neck, he gasped, eyes wide, was this... Really her? Was Mikan Sakura back after all those years?

"NATSUME-KUN! NATSUME I MISSED YOU!" she cried, tears in her brown orbs as he stared at her, and her cheeks pressed against his as he blinked, dumbfounded. It was her, she was real, she was hugging him, and suddenly, he wrapped his arms around her, tightly...

"Mikan... You baka, you were gone for 3 years." he whispered as he cried adn Mikan smiled through her tears and then stared at him as everyone watched, and Ruka, raged with jealousy. Mikan hugged Natsume again, and sniffed.

"Natsume-kun, you and I, in the future, we get married and have kids! We love each other so much... And Sumire and Yuu chan marry, then Hotaru and Ruka! We all have kids, but, all that time I was in the future, I was only thinking of you and my friends, but I never forgot you." Mikan cried as Natsume stared at her, then, his tears fell from his eyes as he cupped a hand over her red cheek.

"I lost all hope in ever seeing you again, baka Mikan. I thought you would never come back." he whispered as Mikan smiled, and held his wrist gently to keep his hand on her cheek, and she smiled as the tears hit the floor.

"But I did, I had to come back, to be with you, silly pervert." she whispered, and suddenly kissed him as everyone screamed, and Natsume pulled Mikan deeper into the kiss, and Mitsuki sensai stared at them, then smiled, and yelled to his class;

"Mikan Sakura falling down from a portal is one way of Gravitation, kids!" he yelled, and he knew they weren't listening, but it was true, Mikan falling again, that was gravity, and she hit Natsume, and the caused friction with their lips, but, Mikan had to say it was the best science lesson of her lfie.

She was back, with the one she loved...

Future...

In the future, Hunny stood at the gates of the school, waiting for her parents as she let her back sit against the wall, and she sighed, then saw a figure walk towards her, and they stopped, smiling at her as Hunny stared, her eyes wide.

"I may have just left in the past form but... Long time no see, Hunny-chan." Mikan said as Hunny gasped, and ran to Mikan, hugging her tightly, she didn't care if it was the older one, because it was Mikan, her best friend from another time, the past and present Mikan would always be there for her, she knew. Dominoe watched and smiled, sniffing and then letting her tears drip onto the concrete...

Present...

Mikan and Natsume stood staring at the Sakura tree they had sat under and Mikan stared at the red ribbon there, smiling as she stared at the identical one wrapped around her wrist, then she stared at natsume, who held her hand in his tightly.

"I'm so glad you came back... Or I would have cried more than I did when I saw you. I used to go into your room." he whispered as Mikan stared at him, and smiled, nodding and kissing his cheek softly.

"I would have cried if I never saw you again, Natsume. Your my future husband, my true love, but, wherever you go, and wherever I may go, you'll always be in my heart, no matter what." she whispered as he smiled a little, then hugged her tightly, the tears invisible in his crimson eyes as they embraced, and Mikan sighed, smiling, happy to be back.

"In the future I grew up, I became smarter, I made friends and experienced new things. But the greatest experience of all was realising my feelings for the boy I love so much, the feelings that belong to the one and only, Natsume Hyuuga, my Black Cat, the father of my future children, the man of my future. Nothing can change the future now I've seen it..." she thought to herself, and then they walked off, holding hands, leaving the red ribbon in the old Sakura tree, that was once again full of life... Mikan just smiled...
