Will all the twilight fans please stand…err speak up, and squeal with me as I say OMG I LOVE BREAKING DAWN!! Yes I'm an INSANE twilight fan, I've read all of Stephenie Meyer's books including The Host at least twice (thrice for the first book) with the exception of the newest edition of course, I mean no one can read a 700 page novel, twice in 3 days, that's freakish. So that's enough fan squealing.

I decided to change up the format again, let me know if you like the old one better or not, I thought this might be easier for you guys

Here is chapter eleven. I'm pretty sure you guys will like this one because it has a lot of wish fulfillment (probably an exaggeration but you get what I mean) and the cameo I kept blabbing on and on about that my best friend would make an appearance is finally here. Also I'm debating whether I should bring Misaki and Tsubasa back. I have only a vague idea of how I'll be able to do that and they're only going to be there for an EXTREMELY short time but be sure to let me know what you guys think. Ok so here ya' go.

Chapter 11: Realization over Ramen

I was awake but I still hadn't opened my eyes. I welcomed sleep to take me again. But it seemed it wasn't meant to be since I lay there awake for quite some time. I turned over and felt something soft at my side. I put my hands on it. Yep there was definitely something there. I raised my head and saw Natsume asleep on my bed. "You pervert." I whispered under my breath.

I looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock. "Wow I actually slept a long time." I whispered. Temari should be coming soon for dinner. I looked back at him; he seemed to be dead asleep. I sighed, might as well let him sleep till he wakes up, though I have no idea how I'm gonna explain a half dead boy sleeping on my bed to Temari.

I moved a few hairs off of his face, and he grabbed my hand. He smirked, "Trying to molest me in my sleep huh?" I rolled my eyes. "Please be serious for 1) you're the one who snuck into my bed, 2) you're the one who went through my underwear drawer, and 3) I'm pretty sure I can do much better than you." I said laughing and counting off of my fingers. He didn't look amused. He pulled me down so that I was on his chest. "You're such a pervert!" I said annoyed. I squirmed and kicked but he had an iron-grip on me. When I looked at his face I saw he was trying hard not to laugh. "You're such an ass." I said still trying to break free. He let the laugh out and said "Okay, okay calm down." he said loosening his grip a bit. Instead he had leisurely had his arm around my shoulders.

I sighed and made myself more comfortable at his side. There was silence for a while and then I noticed that my journal was on the nightstand. "You finished reading. I suppose" I said. I focused my attention on a spot on the wall and braced myself for the pity trip. "Yeah I did." He sighed. He ran his fingers through my hair. I closed my eyes and waited for it to come, the river of pity. I was used to it by now.

"I know I should probably say something but, I'm at a loss for words." I sighed, "Don't say anything, you don't have to." I said eagerly. Hopefully he would drop the subject and wouldn't push the words out of his mouth. There's nothing he could possibly say to me that I haven't hear before.

"Well I'll say this you are an even tougher cookie than I can ever imagine." he said with a smirk. "I can't really believe you're real right now. I think you're some kind of emotional superman." I looked up from my spot on the wall to look him in the eye. This was definitely new. I sat up and we were both sitting on my bed.

"You're not gonna drown me in pity or get really pissed off?" He furrowed his brow, "Is that what you want? I know from experience that people saying 'I'm so sorry' can get kinda old, and annoying." I shook my head, "No, no. It's just……new to me, I've never actually had someone react this way." I said. His brow furrowed a bit again, "Don't get me wrong, there's so many different things that ever fabric in my body is objecting to. Every little bit of me is fighting the urge to pick up a yellow pages, find this Li -bastard and castrate him. I also wanna track down your damn mother so I can slap her. You see, I'm just holding back till I can think the little things through a bit better such as, what weapon to use, and alibi." he said.

I stared at him open mouthed. "Wow," I said, "well that was different" I said suddenly feeling a bit giggly. He looked me in the eyes and I knew I shouldn't be laughing. He was serious. "Don't go thinking you're gonna be doing anything, that'll get you into prison. I don't want that. I just wanna live out the remainder of my life never having to deal with either of them. I don't wanna see them, I don't wanna hear about them, and I definitely don't want you to getting into trouble over them."

He smiled cockily, "Definitely huh?" he said smirking. I shrugged, "You've grown on me, I mean what respectable owner would allow their pet to be hurt." "So I'm your dog now." he said in mock hurt. I laughed, "More like my cat." I said. He didn't seem to like this, "I like dogs better." I giggled. "Nope you're a cat. Irritable and annoying when angry, likes to be left alone all the time, and good company when in a good mood." I said with a smile. He smiled back.

He put a hand on my cheek, "You really are something." I felt heat float up to my cheeks. What was he doing? He looked me straight in the eye, seriously, barely blinking. He leaned closer to me. My mind was in a million places at once. He was going to kiss me. I knew it was coming, and I knew it wasn't going to be a chaste kiss on the cheek. I didn't know what to do, should I push him away or let him. It would be my first REAL kiss, since as the saying goes, "It's not a kiss if you don't kiss back." Then I was back to square one again, 'Should I let him?' My thoughts were interrupted as I felt his lips against mine.

All my doubts flew away, and my body acted on its own. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and responded immediately. I was fairly new at this but it seemed like he was too. He seemed a bit shocked at my response, and started to kiss me more passionately, and quicker than before. Soon he nibbled on my lips. I let out a little gasp. My mistake, he took advantage of my open mouth and slithered his tongue in. I couldn't say I minded too much though. He kept kissing me and even though we both seemed inexperienced, it was like magic.

Our moment was ruined when Temari walked in. "OH SHIT!" she said turning her face away. Natsume and I broke off immediately, with faces resembling a Christmas tree ornament. "I see I brought you dinner, but you want dessert Mikan. Your ruining my innocent little eyes" she said with a sly smile on her face. "Oh shut it." I said annoyed and embarrassed at the same time. She laughed at me. "So are you gonna introduce us or are you just gonna sit there like a rock Mikan." she said to me.

"Oh right," I said, "Temari this is Natsume, and vice versa. You have impeccable timing you know, we were just-" She cut me off by raising a hand. "It's okay, no need to explain anything to me." she said, but her eyes seemed to say 'not yet anyway'. I cringed as I thought about how I was gonna explain what happened in the last five minutes. "Hey Mi-chan, he can stay, but if he's eating, it's gonna be out of your portion." she said. I scowled at her.

"That's okay, unlike you two weirdos I eat at normal times." We laughed.

"It's something we picked up over the years." Temari said. "Besides," Natsume said getting off my bed, "I think I'd better leave you two alone. "You don't have to." I said a little disappointed. Part of me wanted him to stay. "Naw," he said, "besides, I wanna shower and stuff….unless you wanna-" "NO!" I cut him off, "on second thought just leave. He smirked at me and left. Temari waited a little while till she was sure he was away, and then she exploded.

"OH MY GOD HE'S SO CUTE! WHO IS HE? IS HE YOUR BOYFRIEND? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT HIM? WHY IS HE AT THIS SCHOOL? WAIT. HE'S NOT IN DIVISION TWO IS HE?" she said all under ten seconds flat. I was pretty sure she broke the world record of how many questions could be launched at once but I decided to leave that for another time and just humor her. I sighed.

"Okay in order, I'm aware, a boy from my class, no, I didn't know I had to, he's been here for years, and no." She looked disappointed. "So he's not your boyfriend." she said completely disregarding my other answers. I threw a pillow at her face. "Why must you always throw things at me." she said annoyed. I shrugged, "It's in my genetic makeup. Now let's stop talking, before I die of starvation.

We ate in silence for a while but it seemed like she couldn't resist asking one more question, "So he's not your boyfriend, but do you like him?" she asked. I threw a ramen noodle at her. "No, now shut up and eat." I said. "Quit throwing stuff at me already. And Mikan how can you not like him. You KISSED him," she said annunciating the word kissed with more than necessary, "I've known you long enough to know you don't go kissing random guys, especially if you don't like him." I was frozen on the spot. I had no response to that. Sure I was debating whether I should push him away or not, but when he kissed me my body acted on its own and responded. Shouldn't the automatic response of an unsure girl be to push him away? And I didn't. But why didn't I? "I'm not sure." I said.

Natsume's POV

I had just walked out of Mikan's room. I leant against the wall and allowed myself to start slipping to the floor. Then I began hyperventilating. My heart was beating so fast, I wouldn't be surprised if I went into cardiac arrest, then and there. I knew from her diary that that was definitely her first real kiss, so how come was she able to kiss just as well as a seductress would. That kiss was amazing. If I hadn't had better control of myself I would've pinned her down right then and there, which of course would have been extremely bad, considering the girl in question is a rape victim.

There was no doubt in my mind. That kiss would haunt my dreams tonight. I heard Temari's explosion of questions being hurled at Mikan. I suppressed a laugh. Her best friend was a trip. As I heard Mikan's answers I both smiled and frowned. So she WAS aware of the fact I was good looking. I'd be sure to use that against her later. it was the 'no' to the boyfriend question that made me sting. I'd do anything to make that no turn into a yes.

I continued to sit out of her door. The girls began to eat I suppose and I heard Temari ask her final question. My ears perked up immediately, this was definitely something worth listening to. My heart sank once again as I hears Mikan say no. She'd be completely honest with her best friend right? Then I heard Temari's reasoning. I could almost HEAR her freeze at the reasoning. She chocked trying to find a way to respond to it. When I heard her say 'I'm not sure', I almost leaped for joy. I had a chance, and I'd be sure to take it.

I'm almost positive you guys loved this chapter but I can never be too sure. Well tell me what you think. Review please. Temari reacted exactly how my friend would react if she saw me with a guy, so I decided to put the same reaction with Mikan. Well thanks for reading and supporting me, you really have no idea how happy you guys make me, I mean your reviews make me so happy, even the ones with constructive criticism.
