Chapter 21: Epilogue

(I forgot to tell you all, they are already back at the academy. SORRY!)

"Yes, idiot!" Natsume growled, embarrassed.

"Uh... I... I... um..." Mikan stuttered. She was so happy, she didn't know what to say!

"Look, don't answer me now." Natsume told her. "I'm not in the mood to get rejected."

"Huh? But how would you know what I'm going to say if I haven't even told you yet?" Mikan asked. 'I wasn't going to reject him...'

"It's quite obvious, isn't it?" Natsume remarked.

"Natsume, is this the way you treat the girl you like??" Mikan asked, frustrated. "You think being mean would get the girl to like you?!"

"So?! At least if she liked me, she'd be liking the real me! Liars are annoying!" Natsume growled, walking away angrily. 'Now, didn't that go wrong..?' he thought. 'I told, Imai, Mikan didn't like me...'

Mikan stared at Natsume's retreating back, thinking, 'Why did it have to be like this? Even though I like him too... Maybe I should run up to him and apologize?' She thought about it for a second. 'Nah... I didn't do anything wrong.' Then, Mikan turned and left as well.

Mikan began running towards Hotaru's lab, frowning. She reached Hotaru's lab and told the robot her name, letting it scan for her name in Hotaru's friend list. When the robot gave her the "OK", Mikan burst into Hotaru's room, screaming her name.

"Hotaru!! Hotaru!!" she screamed. "Natsume... he confessed to me!!"

A soft low voice from inside a huge robotic turtle said, "Oh really?" Hotaru stepped out of the turtle and looked at Mikan. "When?" she asked.

"HOTARU!!" Mikan cried, going over to her best friend, trying to hug her, but failing miserably. "He just told me."

"What did you say?" Hotaru asked.

"Um.. Well we sort of got into a fight..." Mikan murmured, smiling sheepishly.

"Dummy... It's no wonder why you're an idiot." Hotaru sighed. "Just go apologize and tell him."

"Huh? But I didn't do anything wrong! And what am I supposed to tell him??" Mikan asked.

"Idiot. Tell him how you feel, dummy!" Hotaru said, getting ready to shoot Mikan with her baka gun if she asked another stupid question. "And who cares if it's not your fault! If you like him, take responsibility! You KNOW he won't ever apologize to you."

"What?! But, but... that's so wrong and embarrassing!" Mikan cried, blushing.

"So? Hyuuga embarrassed himself in order to tell you how he felt." Hotaru reasoned. "Shouldn't you do the same for him? Or is your love for him not strong enough?"

Mikan twitched, hearing this. "Of course I can!" she huffed, frustrated.

"Good. Then get going." Hotaru said.

"But... so fast?" Mikan asked.

"Are you going or not!?" Hotaru growled.

"I'm going! I'm going!" Mikan cried, rushing out of Hotaru's lab, leaving Hotaru all alone.

When Mikan left, there was a glint in Hotaru's eyes. She quickly grabbed her camera and video camera. Then, she raced over to Ruka, grabbing him without a word, and dragged him to follow Mikan.

"Hotaru??" Ruka asked. "Where are we going??"

"Oh shut up. We're catching Mikan in action." Hotaru whispered. "She's going to confess her undying love for Natsume now."

"What!?" Ruka cried. "Did Natsume confess yet!?!?"

"Shut up!" Hotaru hushed. "You're speaking too loud! And yes."

"Wow... this is heading pretty good." Ruka commented.

"I know. That's why this is going on tape, and being sold." Hotaru said, already recording Mikan, who was running over to the Sakura tree, knowing Natsume would be there.

"No privacy at all?" Ruka asked.

"None." Hotaru said.

Ruka sighed. 'She never changes...' he thought.

When Mikan walked over to Natsume, he looked at her angrily. "What?" he growled.

"I'm sorry, Natsume!" Mikan apologized. "It's all my fault for being so angry at you for some dumb reason!!"

"Glad you know." Natsume snorted. "Is that all you came here for?" he asked, irritated.

"Um... well.. No..." she mumbled. "I have the answer..."

"Really? Well then let's hear it." Natsume said in a bored tone, thinking he was just going to get rejected anyway.

'Here it comes...' Hotaru thought, getting a close up.

Ruka sighed once again. 'Still no privacy... but instead a close up...' he shook his head, ashamed of spying on the two.

"Ruka. Why aren't you looking?" Hotaru asked. "Don't you want to experience this first hand?"

By now, Hotaru was already snapping pictures with one hand while video taping in another. When she grew tired, she told Ruka to take pictures instead.

"I guess I do..." Ruka mumbled, starting to watch what was going on again.

Back with Mikan and Natsume, Mikan was stuttering while blushing. "Ano... I... Uh... Natsume..."

"What?" Natsume asked, annoyed she was taking so long just to reject him.

"I... uh... I love you, Natsume!" she said all in one breath, staring at the ground now, blushing.

"You do??!" Natsume asked, shocked. "Then why didn't you just tell me when I told you?!"

"We got in an argument, idiot!" Mikan shouted.

"Man... you're such an idiot." Natsume said, hugging her.

"Now I'm your idiot, Natsume." Mikan smiled, hugging him back.

The next day, Natsume and Mikan walked to class holding hands with Natsume. The whole school now knew they were couples, thanks to Hotaru's video. For once in a life time, Hotaru came up to Mikan and handed her two tapes. One was about what had just happened yesterday and the other one was when Natsume told Hotaru.

"What's this, Hotaru?" Mikan asked, looking at the tapes in her hand.

"Some free tapes for you since your confession earned me a lot of money." Hotaru told her. "It's about your confessions and Natsume's confession."

Mikan smiled. "Really?! Great! I have a thing to remind me of yesterday now!" she chirped, while Natsume twitched in annoyance.

"Give me that!" he growled, reaching for it.

"No! You're just gonna break it!" Mikan cried, running around the classroom to avoid him.

Natsume chased her until finally they both skipped class, running to Mikan's room. "Natsume!!" Mikan laughed, as she was being tickled by Natsume. "Hand it over!" Natsume demanded.

"No!" Mikan cried, sticking it in her shirt. "You touch me, Natsume, you're a pervert!"

"Me? A pervert? No way." Natsume said.

"Then you won't touch me." Mikan smiled.

"Fine. Keep the darn tape." Natsume sighed.

"Yay!" Mikan cheered, giggling.

Then, the two of them went back to class, being scolded.

"I guess, I always end up being "late" huh?" Mikan smiled.
