Chapter 10

Mikan pov:

I had climbed up the Sakura tree, knowing Natsume would come this way to talk. I wasn't planning on interrupting, just listening. But, I fell asleep. I than realized, I could here them talking. I heard mumbles, but that didn't stop the story from replaying in my mind.

I started crying in my dream/flashback, so I guess I did the same thing in real life. I than heard their voices. " Don't worry about her." Natsume began, " I'll get her to her room safely…" more mumbles but I managed to hear Hotaru say one more thing before I felt myself float off,

" Free of charge. Just take care of her…" and more mumbles. WHAT? Free of damn charge? HELL NO! She's gonna pay. I felt myself being carried, and I guess it was Natsume. "I don't know if you can hear me," he started off, "but I'm sorry that happened to you.

I call you some of those things everyday, and yet you smile at me, as if I was one of the happiest things that ever happened to you. I REALLY love you, and I'll treat you more gentle. If time is what you need, I'll give you forever." He sighed.

(A/n sorry, I know it's a little ooc, but he's trying to be more gentle. Try to go along with it please!)

I felt myself than put on my bed, and soft pressure on my cheek. The soft pressure than went to my lips. " I just had another kiss with him, WHY COULDN'T I BE AWAKE?" I thought angrily. " PAYBACK BLACK CAT." Was all I could think! I soon heard the annoying alarm, and got up groggily for school.

I got ready quickly, hoping to get to class faster than Natsume. I had to avoid him for now. I stopped by the twin's room, and took them to class with me again. I had an evil plan, one I had to wear leggings to do.

I got to class but to my failure, Natsume was there first. Grr. "Ohayo Minna-san!" I greeted happily. And I completely ignored the hell out of him. I sat down, while everyone stared at me, being early for once. He leaned over and whispered in my ear "Good morning to you too, polka dots."

Now, he was playing my game. "Good." I thought. "That follows the plan!" Narumi came in again and said, " This week is a free week so you could get ready for the dance!" and skipped off. "Sometimes I DO wonder if he's gay or not." I thought shaking my head at his behavior.

Immediately my entire fan boy's attacked me. I saw Natsume with the same problem. So I looked at him, nudged him and pointed my head to the window meaning, "follow me". I disappeared, opened the window, and jumped down.

Natsume followed. "So are you done avoiding me? That was fast." Cocky bastard. "…" He sighed. " Please don't ignore me. I won't talk about it or bring it up." He begged. " He must really love me…" I thought. Time to prove it with my plan.

" Let's play a game." I suddenly blurted out. "If you can find my in less than 15 minutes, you win. I won't ignore you. If not, I can for as long as I want. And trust me, it will be long." He nodded. I disappeared.

I hid well, but he was on my track. He came to my hiding spot, the cafeteria and cried out " I know you're in here! I won! I found you!" I walked up to him, and kissed him on his right check. " Got to catch me too dummy." I whispered in his ear. And ran off.

5 minutes passed, and he found me again. He looked around, and came to where I was. "Got you," he breathed out. I walked closer to him, kissed his left check and said, " no you didn't!" and ran off again.

I ran off to the Sakura tree and looked at my watch. 1 minute left. I sighed softly. This game was fun. All of a sudden, something fell from the tree, and had two arms on either side of me, making escape impossible. He smirked. " Now I DEFINATLY got you." I smiled and reappeared.

I leaned in, going for my pay back. I kissed him softly on the lips, and disappeared again. "You're going to have to work for your kisses now!" I told him, but before I could run off again, his arms caught my waist and pulled me back.

In my surprise I reappeared, and he than said, " Than let me make this one last you cheater!" and he kissed me. I couldn't help it, he smelled so good, and tasted so sweet, I deepened the kiss, and melted in his arms.

I pulled away from his grasp. " I like you." I said. "Oh, here comes the best part of my payback." I thought. "And too prove it, I wore tight, small under wear just for you to look…"

I said this out loud, and by chance, some of my fan boys were near by. "Even better!" I thought, with an evil glint in my eye. He blushed, and tried looking away, but I caught him, took a picture, and disappeared climbing the tree.

"You know," he started "I can sense you up there." I appeared, and flipped on the branch so that I was upside down. My skirt started to fall, almost showing my legging. All of a sudden, I was on the floor in his arms, him growling.

I couldn't stop laughing. Too much fun. This went on for the rest of the day. The fan boys saw through my plan, but they helped me either way. Even the twins, and Youichi!

As the day passed, I announced, " I will not be going to the dance." Why? Well I couldn't say. It was a secret. Hotaru glared at me, and I knew I was going. I nodded my head towards her in recognition, and I passed a note to her saying "disguise." She nodded her heads towards me.

The day passed by fast, and I went to bed. I woke up the next day and got ready for school. We have to go to school still, just to make sure there were no changes. I had a feeling some one was watching me, but I let it slide. Something today, would go wrong. BIG time.

And I didn't know what.

…

….

I got to school, with the twins, just in time. I sat down, when Narumi came in. "We have a new student!" he said cheerily. " Now girls!" he began "no screaming!" than, he came in. Hotaru and me froze at the same time.

"Hello!" he said with a heart-breaking smile. "I'm Aaron Casterillan." (The double ll is pronounced with a y. it's Spanish. I love that last name!"

The twins whimpered, and Nina whispered to me " that guy sounds a lot like the guy who tried to take us." I looked at her, and wrote down things in my notebook. I threw a paper airplane to Hotaru and Natsume.

"Aaron?" I cried out, looking surprised. " Is that really you?" he turned to me, and his grin grew wider. Almost evil. "Mikan?" he asked, "it's been so long! I missed you so much after I moved!" and he attacked me in a hug.

I swear it took MORE than all my power to not beat the crap out of him right than and there. " Yup!" I said super cheerily. "And you came just in time for this dance!"

"Hey!" Sumire cut in. " why do you get all the hot ones? I thought you got Natsume! And weren't you NOT going to the dance." I looked at her. "No, he is my child hood friend. Don't worry; I'm not going to the dance. You could ask him, but be careful, he's a bit harsh."

She seemed to get something was wrong. Ever since we saved Natsume from Reo, whenever something was wrong, we would give clues. She looked at Aaron a little closer, and saw the evil in his smile.

"Fine!" she said, a little mad, but she faked it. This would warn everyone else, Aaron, was VERY bad news. And he was mine. The day passed with me and Aaron flirting. My fan boys stayed away, his vibe scared the crap out of them.

I made sure the twins stayed with Hotaru, and Youichi with Natsume. The day passed by, and soon I was in front of Hotaru's room. I was sure she would want an explanation of this. After all, Aaron wasn't exactly a buddy.

I went and before I could even knock, Natsume opened the door. "Impatient much?" I asked with a snicker. He growled in reply.

"so, what's with this note." Hotaru began, "and mine?" Natsume cut in. she glared at him. He closed his mouth. I couldn't help but giggle. They both glared at me. I took the notes. Hotaru's read:

Take the damn twins, im such a fake. Meet you later… or not…loser!

It was code. And it was NOT my handwriting. It meant "protect the twins, im faking, talk to you later, no matter what, lots of love." I did the same with Natsume, but with different handwriting. His read:

Take that brat out of here! I hate pretending for you, just go, and I will not return.

It barley made sense. But it meant "take Youichi, I'm pretending everything, ill see you later."

"Well," I said softly. "He is and AAO operative." If I hadn't whispered the first part, I would be screaming that part, so at least my voice only rose a little. They nodded understanding. I would deal with him.

It, was payback time.

…

….

I went shopping with Hotaru and got a nice beautiful dress. Formal of course. It was a charcoal colored halter dress, reaching the floor. The strap when around the back of my neck, connecting on the sides of my arms. Diamonds went around the edges. I looked gorgeous.

(A/n I have the pic on my profile.)

The day of the dance soon came. Aaron has started trusting me, as I was the innocent, bubbly he once knew, and was still naïve. He thought he could get me. AGAIN.

" I don't think so. Be PREPEARED."

Hotaru dressed me up, and we headed for the dance. (A/n I noe I gave no description, but play along please!)

Natsume pov

What in the world was I fucking doing here? (A/n Natsume's mind is a bit different than nice Mikan's, so he has a bit of language. Sorry.) That cold hearted Queen, told me to come, and if not, she would black mail me. Who the fuck did she think she was? Who the fuck did she think I was?

I sighed irritably. I soon saw Imai and was about to go to her but I stopped short when I saw a girl walk towards instead. I hadn't seen her around, and it clicked. "She is the new girl!" I thought wearily.

Her mask was white, covering the top half of her face, with pink and orange petals on the left side of the mask. It literally looked as if they were floating down her face. Her bangs were pushed to one side, covering her forehead, but somehow not bothering her eyes. Her hair was light brown, going around in curls, framing her delicate face. Her lips were full, and well shaped.

In no other words, she was breath taking. But she had something familiar to her. She wasn't as breath taking as Mikan she just surprised me. The only thin g going through my mind was "Information. Get information for Mikan." She glared at Hotaru, and left towards the balcony.

I followed. I went and stood next to her. Her scent was awfully familiar. " Nice night, don't you agree black cat?" she asked. Her voice was warm, but a bit high pitched. A way to stop me from recognizing the girl. I knew she wasn't new to this school, just to missions.

I wanted to know who she was. I wanted to stop her, fro pulling Mikan deeper into the darkness where she DIDN'T belong. "Yes." I replied, my voice sounding husky. She smiled towards me softly. " You won't get any thing off me tonight..." she trailed off. "it doesn't matter, just stay away from her." I growled.

" If only you knew how deep she was already, and yet, and some put it, she lights up the darkness still. Amazing. She proves the fact Darkness cannot overwhelm us all."

I nodded in agreement, but how deep was Mikan in, how can I not stop her? She cocked her head to one side and smiled.

"How I love night like these, until they're ruined…" she started, making me slightly confused, until Persona showed up next to her.

"And why are you here?" he growled at her. "Enjoying the night" she replied nonchalantly. " I thought I told you not to come Silver Wolf!" he glared at her. "Well, I was watching over your friend inside, but other than that, I was forced to come. Would you like to meet this person? I greatly respect her. She can beat the crap out of me any day."

Now, we all now at one point, persona got his assed kicked. And whoever did it, he greatly respected. So when he shook his head no, I knew it was her immediately. Though he tried to hide it, you could just tell his aura radiated respect.

She looked at me and with a sad smile said, " It seemed my night was slightly ruined. It was a pleasure to have met you black cat. Hope to see you again, I'm off to do some business it seems."

She glanced at Persona and went inside. It seemed she was going to stay awhile though. I looked out into the night. " I wonder what strawberries is doing now." This reminded me of Silver Wolf. Her scent was…. Strawberries.

And something clicked, all at once..

…

….

In the back of my mind, I recognized the high-pitched voice. Somebody I knew used it when she got angry. I refused to believe it so I ignored that thought. But that strawberry scent….

I turned to look at this new girl, and recognized her features immediately.

"Mikan" was all I could muster out.

…

….
