Chapter 11

Dare


"What's meant to be will find it's way :)"

"Mikan,"

A husky voice called the sweet brown-haired person. She did not mind the voice and she moved her body in the left side. She was currently sleeping right now in the Sakura tree.

"Oi," the voice suddenly became sound impatient.

Mikan was still busy in her peaceful slumber, drowning in her own dreams and fantasy about her love, Hyuuga Natsume.

"Hmmm." She grumble under her breath.

At that moment, she felt something soft. Something cold soft thing that is colliding in her lips. She little by little opened her eyes and saw a raven-haired guy kissing her while smirking.

She gasped loud and because of that, it became an opportunity for Natsume to have an entrance in her mouth. She moaned loud when he was kissing her fiercely and at the same time passionately. She snapped in her own pleasure and pushed Natsume.

She gasps for air and touch her lips. A small tint of blush ness formed in her cheeks. She looked at him in confuse but at the same time glaring at him.

"Why did you do that?" she furiously asked him.

He shrug and sat beside him. "You're a sleepyhead."

She gasped and smacked him in the head. "I'm not a sleepy head you moron!" She crossed her hands in her chest. "I told you not to kiss me in public."

He smirked and touched her chin. He made her looked at him and their face was inches away that they could feel each other's breathe.

"Why? Don't you like my kiss?" he arrogantly said.

Mikan was now red as a very yummy and ripe tomato. "Shut up," she mumbled.

Natsume laughed out loud and let go of Mikan's chin. Mikan eyed him curiously then she smiled so wide and hug Natsume tight.

"You laughed!" she beamed in happiness.

Natsume stopped laughing and cleared his throat. "Whatever,"

Mikan rolled her eyes. "Boys and their ego." She sighed and let go of Natsume. "I can't understand you,"

"Girls and their big mouth," Natsume murmured thinking Mikan didn't hear it but no, he was wrong.

"I do not have a big mouth!" she shouted.

Natsume just laughed and Mikan followed. Natsume hugged her tight and kissed her in the cheek. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she snaked her arms around his neck. They rested their forehead together and smiled.

"You know, polka." He started. "You know what I love so much about you,"

She lightly shook her head and smiled. "No, what?"

His calmed face turned into a happy one. He smiled at her, a handsome smile. "You make me smile even if I don't want to."

Natsume leaned closer to Mikan so their face was inches away. He leaned closer and closer and the distance between their delicious lips was vanished when their lips smash perfectly together like a missing piece in a puzzle.


Cause this is a battle

And it's the final last call

It was a trial

You made a mistake we know

The sleeping brunette was awaken by a phone ring. She opened her eyes and reached her phone in the tabled beside her bed. When she found her phone, she sat in her bed and flip it to opened.

"Hello." She sleepily said.

"I've been knocking in your door for 10 minutes now and you haven't opened it."

Mikan paused for awhile. Her eyes that was almost closed was now wide as a serving dishes and her mouth was hung opened and her yawns was converted to a gasp.

"Oi, polka."

"Na..Nats….Natsu---me?" she stammered.

"Yea, now open the door." He emotionlessly command.

She jumped out of her bed and ran thru the door. She even almost stumbled when she didn't saw a skateboard on her way.

"Crap," she cursed and grab the skateboard. She immediately hid it under her bed. Then she ran to the door.

She inhaled then exhaled then twisted the door to open. Then there was a handsome raven haired guy standing outside her door. He was holding a paper bag and his car keys and he was looking very impatient.

"Natsume," she smiled while panting.

He didn't reply but just entered Mikan's condominium. He eyed it from left to right and from up to down. Mikan's condo has a second floor because her only cousin's aunty owned it so her aunty allowed her to put a second level in her condo.

Her condo's wall is colored red. Crimson red. Natsume smirk at this. Well, well, well, his condo has a portion that it's color is chocolate. What a coincidence, huh? Then there were a lot of paintings on her condo unit then he spot a painting, his painting. He painted it on Valentines Day as for Mikan's ¼ segment of his gift to her. It was her sleeping on Sakura tree.

"You still keep this?" he asked her still his eyes paying attention on the painting.

Mikan blushed on Natsume's question. "Well," she hung her head low so that Natsume can't see her blushing face. "It's nice and...adorable."

"Hn." Was all his reply.

"Anyway," Mikan changed the subject. "Why are you here?"

He turned his body and looked at her. "You forgot something on my car when I fetch you," he answered her. He handed to her a small paper bag. "Your uniform."

Mikan smiled and grabbed the paper bag. She looked at him then bowed at him. "Thanks,"

Natsume looked away. "Whatever. Be fast, I don't want to be late. We have a new teacher right now."

She raised her head and gazed at him in her one eyebrow raised. "What?"

"We're going to school together. "he calmly said while sitting on the small sofa.

"Is that a question?" she dumbly asked him.

Natsume grabbed the remote and turned the TV on. "No, it's a statement."

"Bu-but, Hotaru's going to fetch me!" she protested.

"I don't care." He said while flipping the channels.

"A-and you didn't ask for my permission!" she tried again to protest.

"I don't care either." He said while concentrating on the TV.

Mikan groaned. "Ugh," she stomped her feet. "Bastard," she cursed under her respire.

"Did you just seriously stomp your feet? I thought girls only do that on TV?" he asked her contemptuously. (Sorry for the Jacob fans for stealing this line, I just love it.)

She glared hard at him. "Jerk!" she shouted and went inside the bathroom.

Natsume just chuckled when Mikan entered the bathroom then he stopped chuckling when he remembered something.

"You know, polka." He started. "You know what I love so much about you,"

She lightly shook her head and smiled. "No, what?"

His calmed face turned into a happy one. He smiled at her, a striking smile. "You make me smile even if I don't want to."

He instinctively smiled when he remembered it. That blissful moment with her that always takes his breathe away and makes his heart leapt in glee.

"Natsume," a sweet voice interrupted his thoughts.

He stopped looking at the TV and turned his head into his back. Mikan was there looking at him and smiling, as well. Her beauty still looks breathe taking even though she still wearing their uniform.

"I'm ready," she said.

Natsume turned the television off and stood up. He walked to Mikan's direction and intertwined his hands to her. She gasps at Natsume's sudden gesture. She look at him with a blush in her cheeks.

"Na..Natsume," she grab her hand away from his.

"Let's go, polka." He said and walked away.

Mikan was still frozen their. She looked at her hands; still she can fell Natsume's cold hand touching hers. She shook her head and followed Natsume outside.

Mikan and Natsume are in Natsume's BMW. They were very silent and Mikan isn't really comfortable with too much silence. She had been flipping her phone since they've arrived in the car, she's waiting for Hotaru's call.

She gulp when she remembered Hotaru. She knows she'll get very very super duper mad when she'll knew Mikan isn't anymore at her condo. She look at Natsume and when their eyes met, she instantly look away.

"Why did you fetch me?" she asked him still flipping her phone.

And it makes Natsume annoyed. "Will you stop doing that?"

Mikan stopped flipping her phone and held it tightly. "Sorry," she muttered.

"Hn."

"Why did you fetch me?" Mikan being Mikan, asked again.

Natsume just ignore her and she got pissed off so she continued flipping her phone while smirking.

"Nothing," Natsume finally answered while glaring at her.

"Why nothing?" she innocently asked again.

Natsume looked at Mikan and glared. "Will you stop bugging me while driving? You're such an annoying woman." he turned his head back at the road, glaring.

Mikan got affronted of what Natsume said. So she grab her phone back and started flipping at it. Natsume was now extremely annoyed so he looked at Mikan and glared hard at him.

"I told you.." he started.

"Mind your own business, Hyuuga." He heard her snapped at him.

He looked at her and there she was, flipping her phone angrily and furiously as if she was going to destroy it. She was glaring at the phone while glaring at it. Natsume sighed. He knew she offended her again. Stupid mouth. He was just really annoyed that time and he didn't mean it.

"Natsume." Natsume said.

"Hyuuga." Mikan said.

"Natsume"

"Hyuuga"

"I said Natsume." he said.

She looked at him then smirked. "Try me." she dared.

Natsume stopped the car and looked at Mikan, smirking. Mikan blinked her eyes and look at him, puzzled.

"What…are you…" she trailed off.

Natsume buckled his seatbelt and smirked at Mikan.

"Natsume."

Mikan shook her head then smirked. "Hyuuga,"

Natsume's smirked didn't vanished. He really loves Mikan's guts and confidence. She really knows how to go against him and how to enjoy him. He started to move slowly over her with a devilish smirk on his face.

Mikan gulped almost swallowing her throat. "What…are you…." She tensely asked.

Now, Natsume is on top of Mikan and he was now smiling evilly. Mikan gulped and sweats are now pouring in her forehead.

"Hey! Back off." Mikan shouted as she pushed Natsume but Natsume was too strong for her.

"Natsume, Sakura not Hyuuga." Natsume said while pushing his body on her.

"It's Mikan, Hyuuga not Sakura." Mikan quoted him while smirking evilly at him, as well. She won't let him to defeat her. No, never again.

Then Natsume leaned to her closer and closer and now he was inches away from her. They can feel each other breathes. Mikan is now very red because of embarrassment and anger while Natsume was emotionless.

"Still not giving up, polka?" he challenge her.

Mikan gulped again. "N..no," she managed to say.

Natsume moved his hands to Mikan's thighs and it made her blushed very well. She calmed herself and glared at him. But he wasn't affected. Not a bit. Instead, he was enjoying it.

He leaned closer to her, closer and closer and now they're lips are now close in locking each other. Natsume smirked and as he leaned closer his smirk became more cockier and bigger.

The truth is he loved this moment. He loved the fact he touches her thighs just like those old time of theirs. He loved the fact that their faces were just inches away and he can smell her strawberry scent. And right now, Mikan being close to him, he can fell the urge in kissing her succulent lips again. Hug her diminutive body until eternal ends.

Mikan gulped seeing that Natsume is leaning closer to her. She can fell his cinnamon scent against her face. She didn't know what to do. To be defeated or not. All she know right now is that her heart is beating so fast. She slightly shook her head to erase those thoughts.

Wrong move.

Natsume thought she means she'll not back down, so he leaned more a little closer and she can feel a little portion of his cold lips into her. Oh god. She can feel heat in her pinkish cheeks and she was sure she looks ridiculous. She looks at Natsume's lips and it was forming into smirk. And it made her annoyed so much. She wanted to slap him but she can't. She wanted to scream at him tell him how jerk he is, how she hates him so much for doing this, but she simply can't. There was a part of her that stops her on hurting him – physically or emotionally.

That's stupid. Ugh. She thought. Why would I not hurt him?

Because you can't. You love him. Her conscience popped out.

Who are you? And so what if I love him? I still can't hurt him.

I'm your conscience you dimwit. Anyway, you can't hurt someone you love and someone who loves you because there'll be always a part of you that you'd be hurt.

And how sure are you that I'd be hurt?

Because I'm you, for Pete's sake! Remember this Mikan Sakura, you can love the heart that hurt you but never ever, I tell you NEVER hurt the heart that loves you or else, you'll regret it.

Mikan was stopped on glaring at Natsume when her conscience said those words. It was like a bullet who have hit her in the right spot.

"Oi," Natsume intermittent her thoughts.

"Huh?" Mikan dumbly said. Then she realize that there were still having a bet. And she remembered that he was now close on kissing her.

"Natsume!" Mikan shouted immediately before anything could happen.

Natsume chuckled and removed his hand on Mikan's thigh and that made Mikan sighed. Mikan glared at Natsume. She took all her strength and pushed Natsume away from her. Natsume's body was removed from hers and she sat up immediately.

"You jerk! What do you think you're doing!?" she shouted at him while glaring hard.

"It's your fault. You didn't listen to me.," he said while turning the car's engine on again.

"No, because I just can't listen to you always. This is a free country. I can do whatever I want and you just can't order me around and corner me ju---" she was cut of by Natsume's lips locking into hers.

Her eyes widened by Natsume's kiss on her lips. Natsume pulled away and started to drive on way to the school. Mikan was shocked and dumfounded of what had just happened. She touched her lips and she can fell hot tingling on her cheeks. She looked away.

She can feel her heart beating so fast, as if it was going to fly out of her chest like a free bird. She can feel something flying on her stomach like something's wrong with it.

There was a moment of silence while Natsume and Mikan were on their way on the school. Mikan's thoughts were still occupied on his kiss on her lips.

Cause this is a battle

And it's the final last call

It was a trial –

Mikan slightly jumped when her phoned ring. She search her phone on her pocket and when she found it, she flipped it opened.

"He—hello?"

"Baka." A cold voice said.

"Ho-hotaru?" there was a bit of feared in Mikan's voice when she heard Hotaru's voice.

"I'm outside in your condo. Go down, now." She ordered.

"Uhh." Mikan was slightly nervous right now. She knew Hotaru would kill her if she will find out that Mikan had already left the condominium. Damn that Hyuuga.

"I…I…uhh, Ho—" she didn't finish her excuse when someone grab her phone. And it was Natusme.

"Oi, Imai. She's with me. I fetch her already." Was all Natsume's speech then he hung up the phone. H threw the phone on Mikan's lap and continued driving.

"What the hell was that? How dare you hung up Hotaru just like that!" she reprimanded him. "You're such a rude guy!"

"I know." He emotionlessly answered.

Mikan sighed in frustration and massaged her forehead. "She'll kill me!"

"Don't worry, you can handle It.," he rudely said while smirking.

Mikan inhaled then exhaled. "Calm down, Mikan. Everything will be okay." She tried to control herself and trying not erupting like a volcano.

"Tch. As if,"

And like a volcano who haven't erupted for billion years, Mikan had just loose her self control and whacked Natsume's head.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Natsume growled.

"What the fuck is wrong with me? You're wrong with me! You're such an insensitive person! You're so impolite." Natsume smirked. "And that. Ugh! That infuriating smirk in you, ugh! Face!"

"It's my trademark, polka, dear, polka." He smirk at her.

She crossed her arms under her chest and looked away. She let out a loud 'humphed' and look away, trying her best not to kill him.

Natsume snorted. He was trying his best not to laugh. Oh well, Mikan Sakura is only the girl that can make him want to explode in laughter.

A young handsome blonde man was driving silently and calmly, well, no, not actually. Her girlfriend beside her was muttering curses about his bestfriend, Hyuuga Natsume.

Hyuuga Natsume, had just hung up her girlfriend and she was really pissed off. The second thing, Hyuuga Natsume had just capture, Hotaru Imai's bestfriend and she was now enraged in anger.

"Hotaru, clam down." He quietly said trying his best to cool her girlfriend down.

"How can I calm down?" she glared at him and that made him gulped. "You're freaking bastard bestfriend had just hung up on me! DARN HIM! And the most horrible, he just snatch my idiot bestfriend! And what in the world did that baka ate and she allowed to be kidnap." She furiously cursed. She sighed when she finished her second long speech.

Ruka chuckled then he laughed. Hotaru looked at him then sent him daggers using her eyes. "I'm not making fun, Ruka!" she hissed.

Ruka calmed himself down and smiled at Hotaru and because of that smiled, the oh so great Ice Queen had just calmed a little down but she didn't let Ruka noticed it.

"You're just amusing, love. I never saw you talk that long."

"I just can't deem how Mikan agreed on being with Hyuuga."

Ruka looked at him then smiled. "What's meant to be will find it's way."

Hotaru rolled her eyes and calmed herself down. Her scary face was changed into an emotionless one.

"Whatever, but I'll kill your bestfriend later. And YOU can't STOP Me." she dangerously threatened.

Ruka grinned. "Suit

yourself."

Ruka laughed then Hotaru laugh as well.

"You're beautiful when you laugh, love." He complimented her.

She looked away and tried to hide her blush. "Whatever, stop saying dumb things, Ruka."

"It's not a dumb thing." Ruka said while he stopped the car. They've arrived at the Academy and he had just finished parking the car.

Hotaru shrug and ignore him. She was about o get out from the car when someone grab her hand.

"What?"

Ruka leaned closer then smiled. "You're the most beautiful person that I have ever met in my whole life and no one can replace that throne in yours in my life and in my heart. I love you, so much."

Hotaru smiled. "And you're the most idiot person I have ever met but you're my idiot."

Ruka kissed her on the lips and Hotaru act in response on that kiss. Well, a kiss before the class will start their day right. :)

The archer enemies had already arrived in their academy. When Natsume had parked his car besides Ruka's, Mikan grab her bag and immediately went out to his car. She walked fast, hoping Natsume couldn't reach him and she could arrive in the classroom without him.

"Polka,"

Luck isn't her side. She ignore Natsume and just continued to walk. She was really mad now at Hyuuga. Mad for hanging the phone up. Mad for snatching her. Mad for touching her thigh. Mad for, for, for,…

Kissing her. Making her heart beat fast. Making her feel a tingling feeling she shouldn't feel towards him. And mad for not hurting him.

But it's just love.

She groaned inwardly of what she had just thought. She mentally slapped herself and she didn't noticed that Natsume is already beside her.

"You're deaf, you know." He surprised her.

That made Mikan gasped and she lost her balance. The good thing is, he caught him. She opened her eyes and she saw a pair of crimson eyes looking at him, with care and concern.

She stood up and smiled at him, a small smile. "Thank you,"

"Whatever." He muttered.

They lock each other's eyes and there was something a little conversation of their hearts. The conversation that was only understand by their hearts and was only knew by their hearts. But that conversation was interrupted by a voice.

"MIKAN!" a cheerful voice called her.

She looked at the direction where the voice came from and when she saw the owner of the voice a huge smile appear on her face and that made Hyuuga Natsume's brows jolt.

"Mikan!" he called again.

Mikan forgot that she was with Natsume and she ran towards the guy who had been calling her. She hug the man and he hug her back. They hug each other tightly.

A certain raven haired guy was glaring at the both of them. And he can fell again what he felt during the time he'll see Mikan and that star guy, Tsubasa with each other.

Jealousy.

A pang of jealousy is all he can feel. Another unknown guy was hugging her Mikan. And he can feel that he was going to kill someone right now, ruthless.
