Chapter 14
Always At Your Side
"Ohayou!" Mikan shouted happily towards the class.
"Ohayou Mikan-chan." Yuu greeted back and as usual,
"Good morning Hotaru!"
Baka… Baka… Baka…
Mikan fell to the ground and Yuu helped her. Just then Natsume enters the class.
"Good morning Ruka-pyon. Good morning Natsume."
"Good morning Mikan." Ruka greeted her back with a soft smile and suddenly Hotaru approached him. Ruka blushes.
"You owe me 150 rabbits yesterday. Where is it?" Hotaru said with a dollar sign in her eyes.
Flashback…
"Hotaru gomen, I don't have any small money. Can I borrow you some?" Ruka asked her while he points at a cute pencil in the stationary store.
"Hai…" Hotaru said while she hands in a 150 rabbit's coin.
"Pay me back as soon as possible." Hotaru reminded him.
End of flashback…
"But, I haven't got 150 rabbits yet, I don't keep up coins."
"Fine tomorrow," Hotaru said motionless "But it will be 300 rabbits."
"Ha… Hai." Ruka said getting surprised. Hotaru is not a good choice for lending money.
Back to Mikan and Natsume…
Mikan took her seat and gave a loud sigh. She took off her bag and took out the history book. Suddenly Natsume saw the ring that he bought for her yesterday on her finger.
"Polka,"
"Nani?"
"How could you buy a ring which cost 10000 rabbits?" He said while he continued to read his manga.
"Well, I don't know. I found it at my window. I think that someone mistakenly drop it. Or secret admirers have given it to me." Mikan started to imagine a prince who's riding on a horse and given Mikan the ring.
"Ridiculous." Natsume said while he continued reading leaving poor Mikan broken hearted.
"I thought that at least you understand! I hate you!" Mikan said crying out of the classroom.
"I hate Natsume! I hate Natsume!" Mikan muttered as she ran outside and sat under the sakura tree hugging her knee while she kept on crying and fall asleep.
Meanwhile…
Natsume walked out of the classroom. He sat under the sakura tree, exactly the opposite of where Mikan is sleeping. He doesn't realize it of course. He rolled her sleeve and check out the injuries he got from Persona yesterday.
Flashback…
"You failed again? What are you thinking Natsume?" Persona scolded Natsume.
"I just-"
"Here's your punishment!" Persona said while he scratches Natsume's hand and feet with his claws and he ran leaving Natsume alone struggling in pain.
End of flashback…
"I guess that this thing hurts. But its okay as long that I could protect her…"
"I guess that you really like this person don't you Natsume?" Mikan suddenly came out from the opposite side of the tree. She seemed to get better after her slumber.
"What do you want?"
"You're hurt! Who's doing this to you?" Mikan said while she examined Natsume's hand.
"None of your business, move- Ouch!" Natsume squinch while Mikan was touching the bruises.
"You are doing this to protect that person you like?"
"…"
"You know, I like a person too. He's a kind person and always sacrifices himself for whom he thinks is his friend." Mikan said while she blushes.
'Guess that this person is better than me. I haven't got a chance anymore.' Natsume gave out a sigh.
"Natsume, why are you suffering because of that girl? It's like that she's not on a dangerous ability like you right?" Mikan ask curiously, "and does she like you back?"
"None of your business."
"You know Natsume, you must try to stop sacrificing yourself for that person. You could just-"
"Don't talk to me like you really know me. You can't even understand who I was talking about. You don't know who I liked. Just go away, Polkadots."
"I talk to you because you are my partner. I care about you, Natsume." Mikan said trying her best to smile then she ran away crying.
"That idiot is a completely idiot." Natsume said while he looks up and saw the blue sky.
