Chapter 23

Mikan POV

"Ha ha! Mou! Daichi, stop it!" I said in between laughs. We had been at Central Town for quite a few hours now and it was 12:34 in the afternoon. The sun was high in the sky and I had been complaining about the heat, so Daichi and I had sat under a tree behind one of the shops where no one was to rest for a while, when he suddenly turned into his giant wolf form and started chasing my around with a water hose in his mouth that he had found left on at the flower shop and dragged over here. Even though he was a huge dog right now, I could that he was smiling as he once again sprayed me with that cold water.

"Okay. Pay back time!" I declared. Using my water Alice I began forming a giant orb of water and aimed in directly at the big furry Daichi. His eyes widened and he dropped the hose, running away from me at full speed. I laughed evilly. "So not gonna work."

I threw it at him, hitting Daichi perfectly and soaking him head to foot- or paw I guess.

We continued messing around with the water for another 20 minutes until we sensed someone coming towards us and we turned to see the flower shop owner coming towards us.

"What the hell are you doing?!" he asked us angrily.

"Uh oh." I muttered. Laughing a snapped open my wings (which by the way were soaked) and flew off with Daichi running along with me as far away from the angry man as possible.

We were panting and laughing when we landed on the opposite side of Central Town and underneath a tree, still soaking wet. I dried myself instantly with the water Alice but Daichi shook his fur and sprayed water all over me again.

"Eww! Daichi, gross." I complained, once again drying myself.

He turned back into a human and smirked. "You deserved it. And you had fun too. I've never seen you smile like that. Or laugh for that matter." he added.

Huh?

I thought back to the water fight and the day so far and he was right, I had laughed. I hadn't had that much fun since that day at the training field with the kitten. Daichi smiled as a look of realization passed over my face.

"Nice to know that you have the ability to have fun like that." he said with a smirk.

I snorted and flicked him on the head again.

"You're not half bad Daichi. Come on. I still haven't gotten my fluff puffs yet." I said with a small smile.

--------------

Daichi POV

Watching Mikan eat fluff puffs was a very entertaining experience. The look that she got on her face when she bought and ate the candy was priceless! Not to mention the heart broken expression when she finished them all.

I snickered and watched her with a smile as she popped another piece of the fluffy candy into her mouth with a big smile, her shiny dark brown hair swaying and shining as she ate. As she picked up the next one and brought it to her mouth, I snatched it out of her hand and ate it before she could, earning me a scowl from her. She glared at me with her big red eyes and I smirked.

"Get your own box, mutt. These are mine. You take anymore and you die." She said annoyedly, flicking me on the forehead as always. I just grinned.

"But we're in public! Would you really?" I asked in mock horror, quirking an eyebrow. She gestured around us. Empty.

No one was here except for a few shop keepers and owners since class was still in session. She had made her point.

"Sure sure." I said in defeat.

2 minutes and 17 fluff puffs later, her box of candy was empty and she sighed.

"Well, what now?" she asked.

"Shopping!" I declared.

She snorted. "Are you a girl or something? What boy suggest shopping?"

"The hyperactive ones who are bored." I answered simply, glaring at her for the girl comment.

"You're like a puppy." She muttered, rolling her eyes.

With her being only 1 foot away, I obviously heard. "Part dog here." I said pointing to myself. "Plus I'm really happy to get to spend the day with you. It's really fun and I feel like I can relax and have fun with you." I told her truthfully.

"W-whatever." she stuttered, turning away from me. I smiled.

-------------------

Mikan POV

I couldn't help but stutter and blush lightly with embarrassment at comment. But I knew it was true- he always acted like a puppy with me. When ever he's around anyone else, he's Natsume's brown haired, blue eyed twin.

I walked to the next store with out making eye contact with him, making sure that I wouldn't stutter anymore. The place that we walked into was a jewelry shop and they had tons of things. Everything was sparkly or shiny and made out of expensive jewels and crystals. Everything was beautiful, but one thing in particular caught my eye; a gorgeous necklace with a white gold chain and a small rosy teardrop shaped crystal*.

"You like that?" a voice asked behind me.

I turned to see Daichi leaning over, also inspecting the little necklace.

"Yeah, I guess, but I don't have the money for it with me. It's 1,600 and I only have 957. And it's probably going to get sold soon too..." I muttered with obvious irritation. I then sighed. "Oh well. It's my fault so I'll just have to deal with it." I flashed him a small smile and he looked at me doubtfully. "Let's go somewhere else for now." I decided, dragging him out of the shop by the arm.

We proceeded to spend the rest of the day shopping and laughing and I ended up actually buying some things with my money, but the necklace always lingered in my mind. The shops were mostly empty until 4:40, so we had free reign until then, but then everything got crowded but we still had fun. By the end of the day I was exhausted.

It was dark outside and we were standing in front of my dorm room. I had already teleported the few things I bought inside of my dorm, and I was saying good night and was about to walk into my room, when Daichi stopped me and pulled out a small box. I took it hesitantly and opened the box to find the necklace I had been wanting inside there.

"Thank you Daichi." I said happily. I put it on quickly, smiling at the way it sparkled in the light. I then gave him a smile and a short hug and thanked him again.

"Your welcome. I had a great day with you. So think of it as a thank you gift."

I smiled.

"Good night Daichi. See you tomorrow." I shut the door and locked it smiling happily at the gift. I was sitting on my bed brushing through my hair when there was a rustling on my balcony. Suddenly on high alert, I teleported onto my balcony and pinned the person to the ground, only to find that Natsume was the intruder.

"I know I'm irresistible, but no reason to attack me." Natsume said looking up at me with a smirk.

Typical Natsume....

"You're way to full of yourself."I said in a cool voice with a snort, stepping off of him and helping him off of the floor.

He opened his mouth the make a comment, when he noticed something and his face turned dark.

"Where did you get that?" he asked pointing to the necklace.

"Daichi gave it to me." I said boredly. "We were at Central Town and I wanted it but didn't have the money. Got a problem?" I asked lifting one eyebrow and waiting for his answer.

"Hn." He turned away.

"Oh my kami-sama... you're jealous." I realized. I resisted the urge to smack myself. Natsume didn't answer. I made my voice softer but kept my face impassive as I said my next words. "It's just a necklace. Don't be so immature."

"I'm not." he hissed. I placed a hand on my hip and glared at him, not believing his words for even a moment.

'How to put him in a good mood...?' I pondered, too lazy to deal with a jealous Natsume. Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I walked up to him, made him turn around, and gave him a peck on the cheek. He flushed instantly.

"Forgive me?" I asked.

"Fine." he muttered. I chuckled and then pushed him towards the balcony railing.

"Go home now. It's late and you should get some sleep." I ordered.

Nodding, Natsume hopped of the balcony and ran towards his room. When he disappeared from sighed, I lifted my hand towards my chest and touched the pink crystal on the necklace that Daichi had given me, smiling softly.

"Daichi..." I murmured as I remembered our day at central town.

I leaned against the balcony railing and looked up at the stars happily. Today had been a good day...

Done! With the chapter at least... =D
