Flashback:
"Natsume?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we talk after the preparations for the prom?"
"Ok. I'll go to my seat ok?"
"Ok."
Natsume kissed Mikan's forehead and went to his seat. Hotaru asked Mikan what did Yuri tell her.
"She said it's good to hear I'm just fine tehehehe." Mikan answered.
"Are you sure?" Hotaru asked certain that her best friend is lying.
"Yeah."
Classes ended early that day and they continued to prepare the things still needed for the prom night. After the preparations, Mikan and Natsume went directly to the tree.
"What is it Mikan? Something bothering you?"
"Natsume…"
Chapter 12: Seniors Prom
"Natsume… I…"
"Oi Natsume! It's almost time to practice! Persona-sensei would be mad!" Monchu called to Natsume then left the two alone.
"Uh…polka… I guess I have to go… can we talk later? Is…"
Before Natsume could finish what he was saying Mikan hugged him tight and said…
"It's ok… but Natsume… please remember I love you so much, I really do."
"Mikan…" Natsume broke the hug and kissed Mikan on the lips, they kissed each other passionately.
"I love you too." Natsume said when he broke the kiss.
"You have to go… I guess we'll talk later."
"Hn, see you later polka, I expecting another make-out session from you." Natsume said with a smirk.
"Shut up Natsume!"
Ntausme chuckled at his girlfriend's angry expression, he kissed her forehead then left.
"Natsume, I have to this… I'm sorry." Mikan thought as she watched Natsume's retreating figure.
Mikan went directly to her room to rest. She entered her room to find a note from her friend Hotaru.
Mikan,
Don't forget to drink your medicines, Subaru-nii told me to give you more of it. And he also said make sure to eat foods that have no salt, take care baka.
Hotaru.
"Thanks Hotaru."
Mikan went to drink her pills, hid it in her closet then slept.
"Eh? Why is it so warm?"
Mikan turned to the other side of the bed, and there she saw a sleeping figure next to her, hugging her tightly.
"Natsume? Are you alright?"
"(yawn)… oh you're awake."
"Yeah I am, what are you doing here."
"Watching you sleep duh."
"Hehehehe watching? You were sleeping too you know."
"Shut up little girl, come, let's eat it's past 7 now."
"What? I slept that long?"
"Yeah, you slept for about 2 hours."
"Oh."
"Let's eat."
"Uhm Natsume… I have something to tell you first."
"What is it?"
"Uh…"
Growl…
"What was that?" Natsume asked.
"Oh…I… Uhm I guess it's my stomach. Hehehe." Mikan replied, blushing.
"We should eat first then talk." Natsume said.
"Ok."
They went to the cafeteria and joined their friends. Hotaru whispered to Mikan that she should drink her medicine before she sleeps.
"Yes I will Hotaru." Was Mikan's reply.
Mikan chatted with her friends enthusiastically, then she her direction was diverted when Yuri appeared at the entranced and gave her a glare. Yuri approached the table and asked if she could join them.
"Sure Yuri-chan." Nonoko said.
"You could seat here." Anna said, offering her a seat beside Koko.
"Thank you so Much Anna-chan, hello guys!" Yuri said.
They ate their dinner, chatting excitedly for the prom which was 2 days away. Mikan felt pain again and said…
"Guys, I have to go now, I'm a bit tired already."
"Are you ok Mikan? You're sweating." Sumire said.
"Yup Permy! I'm fine. Well then good night."
"I'll take you to your room."
"Natsume…"
"Hey, Natume can we talk by the way? Do you mind Mikan-chan?" Yuri asked.
"Uh… no… it's ok Natsume, I can take care of myself now, I'm a big girl already." Mikan said to her boy with a smile.
"Ok. Goodnight polka." Natsume said gently, kissing Mikan's cheeks, then he left with Yuri.
"Hmph, I really hate her." Sumire said.
"I wonder why are kind to her baka!" Hotaru scolded her best frined.
"Hotaru… it's fine. It's just a talk right?" Ruka said.
"Whatever, are you sure you're fine?" Hotaru asked Mikan.
"Yes, I gotta go guys, see you!" Mikan said, then she left.
"I wonder if Mikan-chan is fine." Yuu said.
"I think she's not." Koko said.
"Why? What's she thinking Koko?" Anna asked her boyfriend.
Hotaru looked at Koko, her eyes were saying… "don't you dare tell them! I promise I'll hit you 100 times with my baka gun!"
Koko gulped and replied… "Nothing, just a thought, I can't read her mind too."
While they continued chatting, Mikan went directly to the infirmary.
"Subaru-senpai… please help me… it hurts…" Mikan said while knocking at the door. The nurse opened the door and let Mikan in.
"Please… help… it hurts…"
"Hush now Mikan. This would hurt a little, just close your eyes." Subaru said and injected some liquid pain reliver on Mikan's shoulders. Mikan closed her eyes, and tears started to fall, it was indeed a painful process.
"I advise you to skip classes tomorrow, and rest here."
"Ok, thank you Subaru-senpai."
At the tree:
"Yuri-chan… what is it?"
"Natsume, I have leukemia. My father told me today. Remember when I fainted? I told my father about that. I went to the infirmary to check my results, and they confirmed it, here is the result." Yuri said while crying.
"Yuri…chan…" Natsume then hugged Yuri tight.
"Natsume?"
"I'm sorry Yuri-chan… would you live? I'll do anything, please… just live."
"Natsume… I'll live, just stay by my side." Yuri broke the hug, and stared into Natsume's crimson orbs, she felt so happy when she saw how sad his eyes looked. "Natsume, I guess you're mine now." She thought.
"Yuri-chan…"
"I know you have Mikan-chan but please just until my birthday, please? Even as a friend?" Yuri begged Natsume.
"I'll try…" Natsume said, sounding unsure.
"Thank you." Yuri smiled at him.
Natsume took Yuri to her room and went to Mikan's room.
"Mikan? Are you awake?... hn, guess not."
Natsume went to his room and he couldn't sleep. The words Yuri said kept playing in his mind.
"Natsume, I have leukemia. My father told me today. Remember when I fainted? I told my father about that. I went to the infirmary to check my results, and they confirmed it, here is the result."
"When Yuri-chan said that, I felt something's wrong, it seems to me that she's lying. Why? Why do I feel that Mikan is the one who's sick and not Yuri? But Yuri-chan won't lie to me, no she wouldn't do that." Natsume thought, after a few minutes he went to sleep.
At class:
"Mikan's not here again!" Anna wailed.
"I'm worried about her!" Nonoko said.
"Hotaru do you know where she is?" Sumire asked.
"No, maybe she's in her room." Hotaru replied icily, she also noticed a pair of crimson eyes behind the class that seemed to be preoccupied.
"Is Yuri-chan lying to me?" Natsume thought, then he notice Koko watching him.
"Don't read my mind KOKO! I swear I'll burn YOU to HELL!"
Koko immediately turned his direction to Anna, who was very worried about Mikan. The classes were only half day since they still need to prepare, everyone went to meet there groups again to give last minute instructions. And the seniors were excused from joining the soccer practice in order to prepare themselves to the prom.
"Oi Imai! I'll give you 5000 rabbits just tell me where polka is!" Natsume said when Hotaru was about to leave the room.
"Check her room. No need to give me money Hyuuga" Hotaru replied, then dragged Ruka outside.
Natsume left the room to tell Mikan what Yuri said, while on his way he saw Mikan walking to her room.
"Mikan…" Natsume called.
"Natsume?"
"I have to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"Uhm… before that, I would like to ask where have you been?"
"Uh… here? I had a slight fever ehehehe."
"Baka you should've went to my room, or unlocked your room so that I could take care of you."
"Hehehehe I'm sorry Natsume. So what are going to tell me?"
"Please listen I don't want us to break up… all I'm asking is that would you permit me to spend my time with Yuri until her birthday? just for a few months, perhaps 4?"
"Natsume… I…"
"Mikan she has leukemia, she told me last night, she asked me if I could spend time with her, even as a friend, please?"
"Natsume… I… guess it's fine." Mikan said weakly, but still she managed a smile.
"Thank you, and please rest ok? We don't have classes tomorrow, so just rest I'll drop by here in the afternoon ok?"
"Ok."
Mikan went to her room, she wanted to shout, she wanted to tell Natsume that she's the one who's sick, but she can't she doesn't want him to suffer and she doesn't want to ruin Natsume's and Yuri's friendship. All she could do is cry. It was almost dinner when Hotaru entered her room and found Mikan sleeping. Hotaru placed Mikan's food on her table and left the room. Mikan woke up and found a note…
"Baka, eat this when you wake ok? And why is Hyuuga with the slut? Tell me tomorrow!"
Hotaru.
Mikan ate her dinner and went to sleep again. The next day Natsume accompanied Yuri to central town. There they enjoyed themselves. While Mikan stayed in room, she couldn't move, her body becomes weaker and weaker, Hotaru came to check her and told her to go to the infirmary but she insisted she'll wait for Natsume in her room.
"Hotaru, is Mikan-san ok?" Ruka asked. (a/n: They're talking outside the room of Hotaru).
"No she's not, she's sick right?" Koko asked before Hotaru could reply.
"…"
"She's sick? Hotaru? What's Koko saying?" Ruka asked.
"She has leukemia right?"
"Yes…she has leukemia…Ruka…" Hotaru replied unable to control her tears.
"She's going to be fine Hotaru." Ruka said trying to comfort his girl.
"As long she gets an operation after graduation." Koko said.
"Just don't tell anyone ok?" Hotaru requested.
"But what about Natsume?" Koko asked.
"Mikan-san doesn't want him to suffer, that's why she never told Natsume, let's just keep to ourselves for now." Ruka said still hugging his girl.
It was past 10 pm when Natsume remembered what he said to Mikan.
"I'll drop by here in the afternoon ok?"
"SHIT!" Natsume ran towards Mikan's room, he opened the door and found the brunette sleeping soundly on her couch. He felt guilty when he saw some tear stains on her pillow. He carried Mikan to her bed.
"Mikan I'm so sorry, I lost track of time." Natsume said and kissed Mikan on the forehead, he slept on Mikan's couch.
"Mmmmmm… grunt…grunt…mmmmm."
Natsume woke up when he heard someone making funny noises.
"Is she in pain?" Nastume thought and went to Mikan's bed.
"Mikan!" He shouted, he saw Mikan sweating and blood was coming out from her nose.
"Na…Natsume? Is that you?" Mikan asked weakly.
"Yes, it's me, let's go to the infirmary."
Natsume was about to carry Mikan but she screamed at him and said…
"NO! NO! NO! get out… go outside Natsume!" She gathered her strength and pushed Natsume outside her room.
"Mikan! Are you crazy! You have to go the infirmary!"
"NO get out!" Mikan then shut the door when she finally sent Natsume out.
"OI BAKA! OPEN THE DOOR or I'll burn it!" Natsume treathened, he tried burning the door but Mikan used her nullification alice. He tried convicing Mikan to open the dorr but it was no use, she insisted that he should go to Yuri, and that she was fine.
"Mikan, please… look, I'm sorry if I didn't drop by yesterday…I…"
"Shut up Hyuuga! Go to Yuri! Just go!" Mikan shouted.
"FINE!"
Natsume left and went to his room. Mikan just cried in her room. When she was certain that Natsume left she locked herself in the bathroom, she drank her medicines and went wiped the blood from her nose. It was an hour before the prom and Hotaru went to her room.
"Mikan? Are you dressed yet?"
"Yeah, I'm here Hotaru."
"You look good, now let's do your hair and make-up."
When they finished they went directly to the gym. The entrance has an arc which was decorated with fresh colorful roses, the lights were perfect and at the center of the dance floor, hanged a beautiful chandelier. The boys were there when Mikan and Hotaru arrived. Natsume was wearing a white tux with a plain red neck tie that was loose and a pair of black shoes. Ruka was wearing a cream colored tux, with matching blue stripped necktie. Koko just wore a long sleeved light blue polo with a black necktie to go with it. Monchu wore a black tux with a white tie, same goes for Yuu, but his necktie was cream colored.
The girls were beautiful! Anna wore tube pink ball gown with a silver waistband, she put her up into a messy bun and wore 3 inches of silver sandals. Nonoko wore a yellow cocktail dress, the upper was halter style and lower had sequence on it, she wore gold sandals that were 3 inches and her hair was just like Anna's. Sumire wore a plain green cocktail dress, it was also tube and it had a matching thin gold belt, she wore 3 inches black sandals, she used a headband full of glittering stones for her hair. Hotaru wore a lavender ball gown (upper part only) that matched her eyes. It was a spaghetti style gown, the lover part of her gown has a color of purple and she wore a 2.5 inches silver heels, she just put a single diamond hairpin which Ruka gave her. Yuri wore a blue gown, that had a plunging neckline (but not that deep enough!) and her hair was tied into a ponytail, she wore a 2 inches light blue sandals. Mikan, wore a white ball gown, it's also tube, only that the upper part was like a heart shape, the lower part consisted of the inner part and the outer part. The inner part was white and has a silky material, while the outer part was see through and it red colored, it has some silver glitters on it, she wore a 3 inches red sandals and her hair was half ponytail, but it was curled (like Hillary Duff's hair on her movie entitled A Cinderella Story) she also wore the ring Natsume gave. The girls went to their boyfriends, except for Mikan.
"Mikan… I'm sorry, are you ok now?"
"Natsume, I'm sorry, but I'm really fine ok? Let's just enjoy this night."
"It might be our last night Natsume." Mikan thought.
The music started to play, the song was entitled Goodbye days by: Yui…
Dakara ima ai ni yuku
So kimetanda
Poketto no kono kyoku wo
kimi ni kikasetai
The song started playing then Natsume asked Mikan…
"Would dance with me?"
"But… Yuri-chan?"
"I told her I'll dance with you first…"
"Ok."
Sotto boryu-mu wo agete

The music ended then Natsume accompanied Mikan to the table.
"Natsume, dance with Yuri-chan."
"Are you sure? You seem pale."
"Yeah I'm fine, and thank you, you look handsome you know." Mikan said to Natsume showing her sunny smile.
"Hn, I always do baka. And you look beautiful Mikan." Nastume said, then he kissed Mikan on the lips before leaving her, and went to Yuri to dance with her. The other continued dancing.
"Good evening everyone! Please be quiet now, we have something important to announce." The emcee said… "it's almost 12 midnight, and now we believe it's time to announce the Prom King and Queen this time, we request everyone to vacate the dance floor for their dance."
"For the Prom King…our winner is Natsume Hyuuga!"
Everyone cheered and the girls were screaming wildly, some even fainted.
"And for our Prom queen… Mikan Sakura!"
People cheered, but Mikan saw Yuri glaring at her, Natsume smiled at Mikan. Instead of going up the stage Mikan ran outside the gym, Natsume was suppose to follow her when Yuri held him tight.
"Natsume, let her go she need time." Yuri said.
"Well since Miss Sakura ran, I guess we have to give this to Yuri Kuminitsu, who got the next high votes. Yuri and Natsume then danced, while Hotaru and Ruka went out to fond Mikan.
