Onelove

Two boys, only one Mikan. Who will she choose? And would she be happy with her decision?

Author's note: Everyone is 6 (almost 7) years older.

Last time on One Love:

"Oh Natsume, even though you're not the Natsume I've known, I think I've fallen more in love with you. I like you more now that you're-" Mikan stopped when she knew what she was saying. Then, she covered her mouth. This made Natsume look at her,

"Why? What's the problem? You could tell me everything. Oh, I get it! You think I'm nice now didn't you?" Natsume said in a teasing voice.

Mikan looked at her feet instead "Yeah." she replied shyly.

"Don't worry, I think you've changed too."

XI. Meeting

They stayed up all night in Natsume's room. They talked all night, trying to catch up on what happened to each other for almost three years. When Mikan took a glance on the window, she saw the rising sun. Natsume saw her looking at the window and not listening at what he was saying. He decided to speak up.

"You know Mikan, you could judge the time by looking at the position sun. And by now, I say that it's already 6 in the morn."

"WHAT! 6? Oh no. I stayed up all night. I mean we! Oh no. Um… Natsume, I got to go. I'm going to be late!" Then she ran out of his room. After that, he sighed.

"Just like the old Mikan." Natsume whispered to himself. Then he decided to go to the faculty and ask his schedule and room number. When the lunch bell rang, he decided to go to Mikan's room to fetch her and have lunch together. When he went to Mikan's classroom, he saw Mikan sitting on the window side. Mikan looked at him.

"Hi!" he whispered from behind the glass and trying hard not to be noticed by the teacher. Mikan gasped at the sight of him.

"Hi! What are you doing here? We're not allowed out. Detention." Mikan said the same way and trying hard not to be noticed. Too bad, she was noticed.

"Ms. Mikan Sakura! Face front!" said the teacher then Mikan groaned. After the teacher ate almost half of Mikan's lunchtime, she rushed to Natsume who was sitting on his tree, doing nothing in particularly. Just sitting there with his back on the tree.

"Hey." She greeted him sweetly with a warm smile.

"Hmph." Was his only reply. Mikan sat beside him. Then she started to think.

I thought he was nicer than before. How come he was back to being a meanie?

"Hey, Natsume. Tell me what happened to you these past few years?" Mikan said.

"None of your business." He replied. He didn't want anybody to know.

"C'mon. We didn't even last a day together. Why did they have to give you that mission. You know I was really upset when you left. I felt hatred towards the academy during those times. How did you feel?" Mikan asked Natsume. In return, he bowed his head.

"I can't help but curse the gods out there. Why did they have to do it during that time? Mikan…" Natsume then turned his head towards Mikan. They were getting closer and closer to each other now. Until they started to literally breathe each other's breath they were now nose to nose… their lips are so close together. Natsume closed his eyes while Mikan's were wide open.

I really wanted to do this for so long now. Natsume thought

Why are my muscles moving by themselves? It's an involuntary act. Mikan thought while her eyes are still open.

Their lips were millimeters away when suddenly…

"MIKAN!" a boy shouted. Mikan quickly made a distance between her and Natsume while he couldn't believe that they were disturbed by her best friend. But then, he and Ruka haven't even been able to talk to each other yet. They haven't even met yet. Ruka was surprised to see him.

So, that guy was Natsume. I thought it was that Andou guy. Just when Mikan and I are getting very close to each other. Ruka thought. It's not like he hated his best friend, he just wants his girlfriend. And he would give everything even his life just to make her his girl. That's how much he have loved her through the years. Years without his best friend on the picture. But then, he decided to catch up with what happened to him. He still love him like a family after all that happened.

"Natsume. You're back!" Ruka said while sitting beside Natsume.

"Yeah"

"What happened to you?" Ruka asked

"None of your buisiness. Where's Youichi?" He asked trying to change the topic. Ruka knowing Natsume, knew that he didn't wanna talk about it. "He was sent on a mission." Ruka said.

"A mission? He too?" Natsume said. And the 'heat wave' was back. Mikan upon noticing this, decided to leave. Natsume didn't notice it.

"How long had he been gone?" he asked.

"Yesterday night. But he'll be back today. I'm so sorry I didn't do anything about it." Ruka said. Before they knew it, somebody screemed.

-End of Chapter-

Did you like it? Or hate it? Tell me how you feel about it. I think that this would be a 20 chaptered story. If not, even more. Oh heck. I just hope that I would still have time for this. Suggestions, corrections, comments, flames, anger, hatred and YOU are welcome.
