Me: Hey Guys, first off I'd like to apologize for the late update. Holidays have ended and I'm back at school -.-

Natsume: What kind of excuse is that?

Me: One that you'll have to believe flame boy. Anyway I have updated and I will keep updating when I can.

Mikan: Honestly, I'd still rather you ditching the story.

Me: You know, just for that, I'm giving Natsume another chance to kiss you later.

Mikan: What!?

Me: I love Power... right Natsume?

Natsume: hn

It was the same. I couldn't move, talk nor hear anything again. It was the same man with nothing in his hand, but the one thing that wasn't the same was Natsume. He wasn't there. I felt relieved but then the man came towards me and punched me in the stomach. It hurt like hell x200. This time the man had the strength Alice. Great, just what I needed, but at least Natsume wasn't here. There was a problem though. The fog hadn't come yet and the man aimed for my face. Still no fog in view. He then punched me in the stomach again, kicking it as I fell to the side. He stomped on me and continued beating me, until finally the fog came.

I saw Natsume shaking me to wake up and found I had been screaming again. I stared at him for a second but then the pain hit me and it felt twice as bad as it had in the dream. I screamed in agony, tears falling and Natsume had a look of shock on his face, until he took me I his arms and… pinned me down? He had me pinned on the bed and the pain still shot through me. He then leaned down and kissed me. I was shocked at the sudden kiss but I felt the pain starting to go away. I kissed back eagerly to stop the pain even more which made him stop for a moment in surprise before continuing the kiss with more eagerness. His lips were like fire on my lips and my body heated up, numbing the pain.

Natsume's POV

I was really hoping Mikan wouldn't have a problem tonight but apparently, life hated me. She started screaming in agony, worse than usual. It also took a while longer to wake her up. She stopped, staring at me for a second before her eyes went wide and her screams continued, only worse. I had to say I was shocked and I didn't know what to do. I doubted me holding her would do much so I got another idea. I pinned her down and kissed her. Her lips tasted so sweet that I never wanted to stop kissing them but it got better when she started to kiss back. I was surprised and stopped for a moment before continuing the kiss. Her scent was absolutely intoxicating and I thought that I would be fine to die right there and there but if I did, I wouldn't be able to protect and be with her. I could feel the tenseness disappear from her and we both got lost in the kiss. My mind said that this was just to calm her down but my body had other ideas. It wanted more but I had to keep a hold of my urges.

Mikan's POV

All the pain had gone. The kiss felt so right and there were so many emotions shared through it. I eventually pulled away for air and we both breathed heavily. We looked into each other's eyes and my heart was beating so fast and loudly I thought that everyone in the world could hear it. He still had me pinned down but his grip was loose since he was still trying to catch his breath. I could have escaped but instead, after I had caught my breath, I leaned up and caught his lips like he had done to me. The heat enveloped my lips again and this kiss felt better and stronger. When I ran out of breathe again, I pulled away and we were still in the same position. We stared into each other's eyes.

"I love you Mikan" he said to me. I've heard it from him before but it seems more intense now. I thought for a second before I spoke.

"I-I l…"

BAKA BAKA

Two shots from the Baka gun sent Natsume flying off the bed. I looked toward Hotaru and knew she was pissed. She inspected me and found my clothes messed up, my lips swollen and of course, I still had red, teary eyes from the pain. Hotaru thought that the tears meant something else (remember, she was pinned down with her eyes teary and swollen.) She shot a death glare at Natsume who had stood up. Before he could say anything Hotaru punched him. Yes, punched him, with her own fist, no invention. I think both Natsume and I were shocked and that punch looked painful and it sent Natsume back on the ground.

"I knew this would happen" she said as she pointed to me, still glaring at Natsume. "I knew you would take advantage of this situation!"

"Hota…!" I tried but Natsume interrupted.

"I didn't do anything wrong Imai" Natsume said as he got up, rubbing his cheek.

"You didn't do anything wrong?!" she said as if it was the most stupid thing she had ever heard. Before she could continue, I got off the bed and went to Hotaru, standing in front of her. She shut up and listened to what I had to say. That would be a first.

"He's telling the truth Hotaru" I said, trying to think of something. I guess I had to tell her the truth since I was apparently bad a lying, yet I'm a good actor…

"I-I kissed him. It was me." She stood there, shocked and I then explained everything. She got pissed off when she heard what her brother had said but other than that, she was worried. It didn't show on her face of course, only in her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me? You idiot. I could have done something"

"I don't think anyone can help me yet. This isn't normal and I don't see what I can do! This is mental pain not physical so there is nothing I can do! The only thing that has been able to calm me down is Natsume!" I didn't realise I had been shouting until I finished. Hotaru had a surprised look on her face, as did Natsume. I slightly blushed and then looked down to my feet. Without a word, but with a nod of understanding Hotaru left but not before giving a look of warning to Natsume. When she left there was silence in the room. I then thought of what had just happened. Wait a minute! What had I just done!? I kissed back and then kissed him! WHAT THE HELL! (T^T) I almost said I loved him! Damn Natsume and his kiss! What did he do to me!?

"uhh, Polka Dots?" I heard Natsume say. I found that I had been rubbing my head in frustration. I had to think of an excuse.

"I'm still hurting" I said which was true. I still hurt from the dream. It disappeared when I was kissing Natsume but it came back. It was actually growing….

"Ahhhhhh-owwww" I screamed in agony as I fell to my knees, holding my head. It was actually hurting that much. I don't know where it had come from. It started growing again throughout my body and Natsume came over to me. He picked me up in a princess hold and placed me on the bed. He held me like he had the other nights and soon the pain had left but I had formed tears again.

"Natsume, what the hell is wrong with me?" I asked quietly.

"I don't know Mikan, but I'll find out" he said before I fell to sleep without the nightmares this time, but I couldn't say it was restful.]

Me: Go Hotaru! Good going Natsume

Mikan: What the Hell!

Natsume: *smirk*

Mikan: Stop smirking!

Me: Hahaha. I didn't know you had it in you Mikan

Mikan: I don't! That was you writing stupid shi-

Natsume: I honestly didn't like been punched by a girl

Me: I don't know... It might help you out later Natsume. Anyway! I've started writing two other Gakuen Alice stories so I might bring them out soon. Bye Everyone!
