Chapter Six:
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mikan shouted across the room. She had a bad dream, Natsume was shot. She ran out of her room immediately, made her way to Natsume. She opened the door.
"NATSUME!" she shouted. No one was there. "Natsume?" she repeated. Natsume's room was all clean.
"It was just a dream, right?" Mikan asked herself. She walked slowly to find Natsume. She bumped into Ruka.
"Hey there Ruka!" she greeted. Ruka seemed gloomy. "What's the matter?"
Ruka just looked at her, perplexed.
"What's the matter! What's the matter!" He repeated what Mikan said. Then he walked away with tears falling from his eyes.
Mikan stood there, confused of what's happening. She continued to walk, looking for Natsume.
'Natsume's so weird. He disappeared so early.' She thought.
When Mikan got out of the dormitory, Yuu came running towards her.
"Mikan, are you okay?" he asked.
"I sure am." She smiled. "Have you seen Natsume? I kind of lost him."
Yuu looked surprised. "Mikan, are you alright?"
"I said I am, Yuu. So have you seen Natsume?" Mikan asked again.
"Well, Natsume was shot yesterday, you were there right?" Yuu said with a little concern.
"He… He what!" Mikan said.
"Was shot. Mikan, you were there… with Ruka." Yuu explained.
Mikan still didn't believe what Yuu said because she was certain that it was just a dream. She ran away from Yuu.
'No, he's not dead. He's not dead. It was just a dream.' She thought. She went under a Sakura tree, sat down and covered her ears and closed her eyes.
'No, Natsume's not dead. Not dead.' She thought.
"NATSUME'S NOT DEAD!" Mikan shouted so loud that birds flew out of the trees.
"I'm sorry to say this, Mikan but he is."
Ruka came out of the bushes with Hotaru.
"I know this is hard for you, Mikan." Hotaru said, still without emotion.
"But this is hard for me too." Ruka continued Hotaru's sentence.
"B-But, I… I had a dream, I saw him die… IN MY DREAM!" she explained to Ruka and Hotaru.
"No, Mikan. It really happened." Ruka said as he and Hotaru sat down beside Mikan.
"Do you want to see him? You can, you know." Hotaru told Mikan.
Mikan nodded.
They went out together. Ruka and Hotaru led Mikan into the northern woods. Natsume's wake. There were a lot of people who attended Natsume's wake. The whole class was there. As Mikan walked through the crowd, people kept whispering, now that they know Mikan was Natsume's girl friend all along. Mikan made her way into Natsume's coffin, still in shock.
"Hi Natsume." She said softly as she cried and touched the coffin. "How? How could you leave me? You know that I love you" she whispered so that people wouldn't be able to hear what she's saying. She cried nonstop because her dream was really true.
It happened.
