Apparently eating less sugar is better for your teeth than brushing your teeth.

"Mikan, where are you going?" cried out Yuu as he ran to catch up with her, Hotaru just took her time walking behind them.
"Someone told me that there's a walking teddy bear here, I want to see it!" Mikan exclaimed excitedly whilst jumping up and down.
"M-Mi-Mikan…" Stuttered Yuu, before he could even finish his sentence Mikan has already walked off.
Mikan turned around and waved her arms, "What's taking you so long?"
But when she looked back she saw Hotaru and Yuu stepping backwards.
"What's wrong?"
"M-Mi-Mikan…behind you." Yuu struggled to say as he pointed to what's behind her.
A beady-eyed teddy was a few feet behind her and Mikan started running towards it. (Insert background: Twinkles, stars and rainbow colours.)
"NO! MIKAN!"
Yuu feared for the worst when Mikan was very close to Mr. Bear. In slow motion, Mikan ran up to hug Mr. Bear and it looked like a perfectly sweet scene, but Yuu was sure that Mr. Bear was going to punch her right in the face but surprisingly…
Mr. Bear clung on Mikan's neck tightly…he hugged her back!
"Huh?"
Hotaru just gave an I-don't-believe-it look.
"What's wrong Yuu-chan?"
"Erm…it's just that Mr. Bear is also known as the Homicidal Bear."
Mikan continued to stroke Mr. Bear. "And why would they call someone as cute as him that?"
Mikan smiled at Mr. Bear and Mr. Bear blinked his beady eyes innocently. (But then he gave a murderous gaze at Yuu to shut him up but Yuu didn't notice and continued anyway. (It's glare is more deadly than 10 Natsumes.)
"Because he beats up anyone that comes close to him except for the one who made it and the owner's close friends."
"Really?" Mikan blinked.
"But he's too cute." She cuddled him tighter.
The school bell rang.
Mikan put down Mr. Bear and smiled sweetly at it. "Well, I guess it's time to go back to class now. It was nice to meet you."
Mikan turned around to walk back but something stopped her.
She looked down at her foot; Mr. Bear was holding her foot because he didn't want her to go.
She picked him up and placed him on her shoulder, "I guess you are coming with us then."
Yuu shifted nervously…I hope he won't beat anyone up in the class.
Hotaru just sighed, "Idiot."
When they returned back to the classroom everyone stared at them. Then when they caught the sight of Mr. Bear on Mikan's shoulders they all huddled up to the furthest corner of the room, shivering vigorously. (Dark background – pitch black with an eerie atmosphere.)
Mikan walked up to them. "What's wrong?"
"Wah……….stay away from us." He classmates yelled as they waved their hands vigorously, one was in a black hood and stuck a big Crucifix in her face and another one started sprinkling some Holy Water to perform an exorcism.
"?...?...?" Question marks appeared above Mikan's head.
Yuu whispered into Mikan's ears. "They are scared of Mr. Bear, as I have said, he's usually very violently to people."
Mikan sniggered, "Oh is it now."
Mikan walked up to Natsume, he followed her figure with his gaze until she was right next to him.
Everyone in the classroom was wondering what kind of stunt she was trying to pull off this time.
She placed Mr. Bear on the floor and pointed towards Natsume but continued to look at Mr. Bear.
"Attack him."
The class sweat dropped.
The class feared for the worst as Mr. Bear took one step forward towards Natsume.
"Poke his eyes out then he wouldn't be able to peep at people changing. The pervert need to be taught a lesson so beat him up, I don't care how badly hurt he will be." Actually, the more hurt he is the better.
Mr.. Bear continued to look at Mikan blankly, blinking its cute little beady eyes.
Awkward silence.
And then, Mr. Bear jumped up and clung onto Mikan's neck.
Class sweat dropped.

The Next Day…Mikan is walking grumpily to her classroom. Each step she was making made a hard impact on the ground, making a loud "Thud" sound. People around her looked at her wondering what's wrong with her.
She walked into the classroom after opening the door with a loud BANG that made an dent on the wall that made everyone stare at her. She then looked around the room until she saw the person she hated the most in the entire world and glared at him.
Hyuuga Natsume.
FlashbackMikan was just walking to her classroom, minding her own business. And then...the next thing she knew someone gave her a hard push and her face smacked into the wall right next to her. She looked at the culprit…it was none other than the infamous Hyuuga Natsume.
End of Flashback
She made her way to her seat, which is right next to Natsume. The class eyes followed every stride she took.
When she reached there she took off her rucksack and swung it right across Natsume's face in the process.
"Oh sorry. It was an accident." She said in a monotone whilst looking blankly at him.
The class sweat dropped whilst fearing what Natsume's reaction would be.
Because it was rather obvious that it was done on purpose.
They prepared to be roasted alive by Natsume's Alice.
Before Natsume could say or do anything they heard a group of passersby saying something.
" I really want to know where Natsume usually spends his spare time."
"Me too, I want to give him the cookies that I've made."
"How come the peanuts are still in its shell."
"Oh no, I forgotten to crack the nuts open."
"Oh well, it's the thought that counts…I'll give it to him anyway."
"I would pay anything just to know his secret hideout."
She noticed Natsume shifting uncomfortably in his seat.
A smirk crept upon Mikan's face. She has the perfect revenge for Natsume.
She made up her mind; she would tell her plan to Hotaru at break time.
She knew Hotaru would agree, because, well simply because…it was the perfect plan to earn money.
Natsume and Ruka were going to skip their next lesson (they are walking in the empty corridor) when the two most dreaded girls (because of how they like to torture and blackmail them) made their way towards them (they followed them out).
Natsume gave Mikan a glower but she smiled sweetly at him in return. This made Natsume wonder what she was up to. It's definitely something to get back at me.
Mikan placed a hand on his shoulder.
Hotaru smirked and recorded the scene with her video.
Ruka looked at Mikan in puzzlement.
"Where do you usually go to during your free time?"
"The Sakura tree behind the school."
Hotaru smirked.
"Where do you and Ruka go at lunch?"
"The Northern Forest."
Ruka looked at Natsume, how come he's willingly telling her all this?
Hotaru whispered something in Mikan's ears that made her giggle. When she regained her composure she asked Natsume.
"Who do you and Ruka like?"
Ruka who heard this blushed and deep red and pulled Mikan's hand away from Natsume's shoulder.
As soon as she did that, Natsume looked at Mikan with a blank expression. He had no idea what just happened.
Ruka still had no idea why Natsume would willingly tell Hotaru and Mikan all these information but he decided to stop them before his secret crush (which he has kept a secret for 3 years) was revealed…especially when his crush was right there in front of them.
Hotaru gave Ruka a dark glower when he ruined their well-thought plan. Mikan and Hotaru walked past them as if nothing had happened, when Hotaru walked past Ruka she gave him a warning whisper, "tell him anything and I will sell all my secret stash of your pictures, and I am telling you, they are worst then the ones we have sold in the past."
Ruka froze. He definitely wasn't going to tell Natsume.

For the next 2 days Natsume couldn't find any peace and quiet wherever he went.
It seemed like his rabid fan girls knew where his secret whereabouts are and he had no idea how they found out.
Wherever he went there would be girls shoving gifts and food in his face.
He's going to kill whoever gave him away he thought angrily as he walked past a huge crowd.
Polka dots and Imai are at it again, huh? He shrugged dismissively and was about to walk away until he realized what they were selling.
A demo type was playing on a plasma TV right next to the two girls whilst people were shoving cash in their faces and running off with the tapes.
It was a clip with him in it but he couldn't remember it at all. Must have something to do with the little girl.
Video clipMikan placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Where do you usually go to during your free time?"
"The Sakura tree behind the school."
"Where do you and Ruka go at lunch?"
"The Northern Forest."
"Who do you and Ruka like?"
End of video clipSo they were the ones that gave away my whereabouts. Natsume thought as he gazed angrily at them.
The crowd shivered when they felt his glare stabbing their backs so they backed off and moved away to give him a path to walk to the table whilst Mikan and Hotaru looked back at him…unaffected by his cold glaze.
Mikan waited until he was right in front of her and Hotaru.
"You've been doing a lot of exercise lately, Hyuuga." Mikan smirked at him.

I wasn't going to put the Homicidal Bear in but after second thoughts I added him last second because I love him so much.
As far as non-human characters go, he's definitely my favorite.
Hope you guys liked that section.
