"The Winter Festival is coming up", mumbled Hotaru as she walked along side of Mikan. WOW! She said full of excitement and curiosity. It was going to be her first Christmas at Alice Academy and she decided to make it very special.
She was deep in thought, thinking about the presents she should get for her friends. When she suddenly bumped into Iinchou.
"Good morning Mikan". He said.
"Oh good morning, hey I was just thinking what would you like for Christmas?"
"Well anything you will give me will be fine". He said with a smile.
"But I want to make this year special since it is going to be my first Christmas here!"
And because of her usual carelessness the second after Mikan had spoken, BANG! She accidentally fell on top of Natsume.
"Hey why won't you watch where you're going!" He said but as he slowly opened his eyes to see who bumped him, a burning sensation started to fill his body. He was face to face with
her!
The girl who seemed to be different from everyone else, the only person who ever really told him off other then the teachers, the only one who has the power to stop his flame which keep him in this mysterious, lonely but dangerous state of his.
Mikan didn't know what to do either. In her mind she started to panic as she faced him w/a surprised stare. She did not know what was going on but her heart started beating in an unusual fast pace, the same feeling she got when he first called her by name.
People started to turn their attention to the two but knowing Natsume being Natsume, he always expressed what he meant in the most irritating ways possible.
"She probably lost balance! After all she is so uncoordinated, it must be because of she small little brain!"
"Hey it was an accident alright. Don't be such a jerk Natsume!" Mikan said. She did not know why she started crying. The tears just started to flow out of her eyes.
She had always like Natsume for some reason. But this time his criticism really hurt her.
She started to run away from everyone so no one will see the hurt in her eyes.
Natsume just got up in shock. He did not know why this affected him so much, to see Mikan hurt by his words was really unusual. She usual just tries to say something back which she hopes will annoy him even if it never does.
"Wait Mikan, said Iinchou. He tried to chase her but he just couldn't keep up.
"Let her go said Hotaru she needs time to clear her mind about what just happened her she doesn't need any more confusion then she already has."
The two spectators of the scene just left quietly, leaving Ruka and Natsume alone.
Ruka helped Natsume up and asked if he was ok.
I'm fine I…..I…just need to be alone right now.
Oh he said right I'll just go to the barn then.
Ruka was confused as well. Natsume never really hid anything from him before plus his feelings for Mikan was getting stronger everyday but Natsume likes her too he thought.
I don't know what to do!
(Change of scene)
Mikan ran to the forest as far as she can. She wanted to get away, anywhere. She didn't care about the scary monsters in the forest that usually scares her but instead this horrible feeling in her gut that just wont go away!
She found a nice big tree in the forest. She lay down and started to sob. After a while she fell asleep. But unfortunately it started to snow and if she stays there for long she might end up freezing to death.
(Meanwhile, back to Natsume)
(A few hours ago)
After walking for some time, he sat down on one of the benches at Central Town.
"Why did she cry? It's not like her to do that." "And why did I start to feel a burning sensation all of a sudden?"
"NO! I am not in love, I can't be, besides she can never love me I'm too much trouble and what if I can't make her happy.
Just then it started to snow. He raised up his hand and a small yet beautiful snowflake landed right in the middle of his palm.
"Its almost Christmas he thought"
He looked around at the stores around him but when he stood up and looked at his back he saw a small store that made beautiful jewelry. And at the window display he saw a small golden locket.
Just then he though "what if I got this for …Ah no way I wont, I shouldn't, its for the best that she will keep away from me".
But this feeling he had kept pushing him so he went into the store and bought it anyway.
And he noticed the snow accumulating on the ground. It started growing more and more.
Just then he bumped into Hotaru and Iinchou.
Have you seen Mikan? Asked Iinchou desperately. She never came back to her room and nobody has seen her since she ran into the forest! He said with a bit of hesitation.
