''Oh, yes sorry ! Thank you for saving me ! I'm Mikan's older brother, Tsubasa Andou. Or Mikan's older sister's boyfriend.''
Natsume's POV :
''Oh ! Nice to meet you I'm Natsume and Mikan's husband.'' I said almost believing what I was saying. His smile vanished as he saw I was dead serious about that. But then Mikan punched me gently in the arm and said while glaring at me ''Don't worry Tsubasa, he is Natsume Hyuuga my...Friend and partener during missions.''
He blanked an another time, but this one I wa sur he would faint.
''You- you said Hyuuga ?'' He asked shyly
''Yes I did. What's the matter Tsubasa sempai ?'' He then seemed to be thinking about something very serious and said ''Mikan... Before we head back to the school I would like to tell you something... Please sit down.'' He looked at me and said ''Sit you too.'' I think about it a minute and just sat next to Mikan. So he started : ''Mikan you were able to use Fire alice before you met him, weren't you ?'' This wasn't really a question. She nodded.
''Do you remember meeting someone else with the same Alice as him ?'' He really asked.
''Not really..'' She answered.
''Mikan, as you know your parents met here, in Gakuen Alice. And they were very close with two people particularly : Narumi sensei and Koaru Igarashi or Koaru Hyuuga when she got married.''
I blanked. I felt my heart starting beat faster and faster and I couldn't stop it. Mikan looked at me worried. ''Is she your mother, Natsume ?'' She asked and I simply nodded trying to calm my self. Mikan obviously saw it because she took my hand gently.
''Mikan'' he continued ''When you parents died they gave you and your sister to their most trusted friends : Koaru and her husband. She had the fire Alice, she is the one you met before her own son.''
''But why was I adopted by Ojii-chan ?'' When she asked it I knew what Tsubasa would anwer and i didn't want to see Mikan terrifying face. I didn't want him to tell it, but Mikan has the right to know where she come from. So I just stood up and ran in a trivial direction through the forest. I knew Mikan wanted to follow me but was stopped by the Shadow guy.
Mikan's POV :
''Where did he go ? Why did he run ? Tsubasa leave me we have to stopp him !'' I was alomst yelling at him seing the figure of Natsume disapearing in the forest.
'' No stay here ! I have to tell you the story until the end. Because you maybe won't be able to face him after that !''
''Then I don't want to hear it !'' I stubbornly said.
''But you won't understand him behaving like that ! Please Mikan you need to know and he must need someone to share this burdden with !'' He said.
''What ? A burdden ? Which one ?'' I asked
''Now please sit down'' He said and I quickly obeied. ''Mikan. Natsume's burdden was put on his shoulder when he was born...''
''Straight to the point Tsubasa !'' I snapped.
''Natsume's mother died gaving birth to him.'' […] That was straight. I blanked. What ?
''It's impossible.''
''Natsume was born 6 months after you and Koaru's husband couldn't handle 4 children in his house.. He couldn't barely do it with 2 so..''
'' 4 ? 2 ?''
''Natsume has an oder sister. Aoi. She was a good friend with Ichigo but she didn't have any Alice.''
''I have to talk to him.'' I knew exactly how this guy could feel guilty about it. I knew what kind of feelings he had to endure this whole time. I know.
''Mikan don't be-''
''Don't worry Tsubasa sempai, I'll be there ASAP !'' I said smiling warmly. Then I started running toward where he should be. ''Natsuuume ! Natsume ! NATSU-''
''Don't scream that loud idiot I'm here.'' I heard the voice I neede to hear. I calm down and looked around me to find the figure of a shamful boy against a tree. He wasn't even looking at me.. He was looking at his feet, avoiding my eyes and hidding his behind his bangs. I was brokenheart and kind of angry seeing him like this. Where was the confident, selfish and careless Natsume ? All I saw was a deserted child !
''Look at me, Natsume.'' I said softly. He turned his head toward me but still his was hidding his eyes.
''Please Natsume look at me, talk to me, I'm here with you, for you. You can tell me everything, I'm not here to judge you, all I want is to help you like you did with me. Please...''
He hesitaded. His legs fall under him and he sat hugging his knees against the tree.
''Why do you want to help me ?'' He asked to looking at me.
''Because you helped me. I want to help you back.'' I answered not even beleiving in what I was saying. I wanted to scream at him how much I loved him. Not only because he helped me to get out of the darkness but also because he was the only one who saw behind my blank mask. He was special and I ould remember of every moment we passed together. All of those moments were mine and his, only us. They were special to me. Like my own treasure. He didn't even know how much I needed him, how much I loved him and how much I wanted him to be with me forever.
He smirked. ''You really can't show me your true feelings.''
Ok now he didn't let me any choice, did him ? No he didn't. (Even if I know that all of this was just something to relieve me of my guiltiness I beleived in what I said. Or tried.) So, I read his mind.
And what I saw made me furious. Everything was in a big mess in his head !
I can't face her. I have no right, I killed my own mother. I shouldn't be there. I'm a monster. Her and her sister had to be adopted because of me.. I left my father alone ! I can't-
''Shut the hell up !'' I snapped. Then he finally looked up at me eyes widened in shock. He was calling the cops when I explained him that I read his mind. He seemed angry but I didn't care !
''You are defintely not a monster but instead you are the biggest idiot I've never seen !'' His eyes widened.
''Do you really believe you killed your mother ? DO you really believe she regrets giving birth to you ? The hell ! Look-at-you. You came here against your will to help your father and sister, you are a smart and powerful ass, you have an amazing Alice and on the top of that a gorgeous face !''
He smirked ''You only admit it now ?''
I looked at him with a 'how-dare-you-interrupt-me' look and he shut up.
''Listen, Natsume I realy~ believe that your mother is now very proud of you. Of what you became and simply what you've always been. Now, if she has the same character as you, she must be running all over paradise singing 'look at me boy he is wonderful !''
He looked at me strangely.
'' Anyways I -a woman- think that having a baby is some of the best things in your life, andlooked your mother had 2 ! And one with a amazing power ! I would like to have 3 childr-'' Oh great, I exceeded the limits.
I felt the hot coming in my cheeks and he was trying hard not to burst of laughing. I think my all head became red as a tomato at this time because he laughed hard when he looked at me. I decided not to face him anymore or not straight so I sat beside him.
''Who told you you can sit here ?'' He said coldly. I was taken by surprised. I didn't know what he meant so I started to stand up when he took my wrist and pushed me down so that I fall in his arm. Then he hugged me tightly. What the hell ? I blushed seriously. And he laugh again.
''Don't laugh at me..'' I said pouting
He suddenly stopped and I could feel in my back his heart bitting faster and faster.
''Mikan... I–I love You.'' I let our the breath I wasn't even knowing I was holding in relief. But I didn't know what to do ! I didn't have any boyfriend before him and I rejected every guys who confessed to me.
''It's okay if you don »t answer-''
''I love you too.'' I said cutting him. This came out of my mouth without me noticing it ! OMG ! I told him, didn't I ? Oh what will I do ? THIS definitely wasn't me, was it ?
''Mikan ?''
''Hn ?''
''I think my mother can be proud of me now.'' He said gently looking at the sky.
I didn't answer but I smiled at him and he understood. He understood that I was also proud of him and a love sick ! Because he hugged me tighter.
''How many children do you want ? I don't remember exactly !'' I teased me.
''Stop pissing me off !''
''But you said it right ?''
''No.''
''Oh really ?''
''It wasn't me.''
''Yes it was.''
''No.''
''Yes.''
''No.''
''Yes. I'm sure.''
''Ok, then I was drunk.''
''Smart ass.''
''I know.''
''What if we go back to the shadow guy ?'' He offered. Then stood up and took my hand gently, I didn't refuse...
