FrozenBlossomz: I'd say Izumi took it well since he had experience it before, even though he almost chokes Natsume though! You know the relationship between the Hyuuga siblings, they really care for each other but no more than that haha!

PennYnnep: There are many similarities with mangas and movies but hey, I hope I'll be able to surprise you anyway! I'll try not to do anything reckless but I can't guarantee a thing haha!

Diabula-Rasa: You know me, drama can't miss any of my chapters. I'm glad you liked it though! And yeei I'm happy you like my crazy version of Aoi.

Newroz: I'm glad I'm still able to surprise you! Hope I'll keep surprising you this chappie!

*Chapter 28*

"Aoi!?", Natsume asked in disbelief. Aoi's face was filled with shock; she wasn't expecting him to arrive to her room.

"It's been a long time Natsume", she returned to her serious attitude.

"What are you doing here?", he asked her debating whether he should be happy or worried about her abrupt visit.

"I came to speak with her", she confessed.

Natsume raised a brow and turned to look at Mikan who seemed to be about to cry. "If you did anything to her I promise I won't let this slide", he frowned taking Mikan from her hand and hiding her behind him.

Aoi gave him a disappointed look, "You've never treat me like this before, is she more important than me?"

"Aoi", Natsume called out, draining out his angriness. "You are very important to me as well as Mikan"

"We haven't seen each other in 50 years and still you treat me like this?"

Mikan kept hiding, asking herself if she should say something or remain quiet.

"You're the one who suddenly left without a word", Natsume complained.

"I came to your wedding, what a lovely wedding it was!", she commented in sarcasm.

"W-Wedding?", a small voice asked behing Natsume's back.

Natsume turned to look at her, "I was going to marry today Mikan", he explain hoping not to hurt her.

"Fortunately, the bride also ran away", Aoi commented looking straight at Mikan's orbs.

"She did?", both Mikan and Natsume asked.

"You too are so synchronized!", Aoi said in irony.

"You didn't marry and came back for me? What will your dad say?", Mikan asked both worried and relieved since he didn't marry someone else.

"I'll take care of that later", he took his gaze off Mikan and on to Aoi. "What did you tell Mikan?"

"The truth", she said curtly as a matter of fact.

"Tell me!", Natsume raised his voice surprising Aoi.

"Why have you been so foolish? The union between a demon-blooded and a human-blooded one, what do you think it will be?", she asked without expecting his answers. "I left to start an investigation about species, ours and theirs"

She kept talking, "This past 50 years I've been researching why vampires and humans can't get along, you can't form a family with a human. It's a taboo, every taboo comes with a consequence and this one you broke is the worse one you could break"

"What are you talking about?", Natsume asked, barely understanding.

"The baby will form as a normal human, in 9 months he will eventually born but the baby you've got inside is already dead"

"D-dead!?", Mikan asked as her heart beat rapidly.

"He will have life once he's born, he'll grow by the strength that your human blood possesses, but…", she took a breath. "He or she will take her mother's soul in order to live"

"That can't be", Natsume shook his head.

"I'm sorry but I can promise for all the love I have for you, I'm not lying"

"How can I believe in you?", Mikan suddenly asked with tears already dropping from her eyes.

"I'm Natsume's twin sister, you can trust me"

"DAD!", Natsume called out, opening the door with force, almost breaking it and the wall with the impact.

Ioran's eyes widened but then left out a sigh, "You know it already?"

"HOW COULDN'T YOU TELL ME!?", Natsume asked both incredibly angry and disappointed.

"How was I supposed to know you'd do something like that!", his father said in justification. "Didn't you find it weird I tried my hardest to separate you and that human a century ago!?", he was speaking with resentment.

"How is that Aoi is allowed to know but I can't-", before he could end his point, Ioran stood from his sit and raised his voice.

"Aoi knows!?", he asked utterly surprised.

"She told me about it", he explained.

"You've seen her? Where is she?", he asked looking around, hoping she'll appear out of the nowhere.

Natsume sighed deeply, knowing his father missed her daughter very much, just as Natsume missed her. He still remembered the shock he felt an hour ago when he heard Aoi's voice through Mikan's door. How happy he felt but then stood by Mikan's side when seeing her so afraid.

"I'll tell her to come", he whispered.

Ioran nodded gratefully, "Did she tell you about the baby the human is carrying?"

Natsume shook his head, "That's not a baby"

Ioran raised a brow, "You seem to be very angry about it"

"Mikan's really going to die?", he asked ignoring his father's previous statement.

Ioran nodded, "The baby will take her soul away"

"That's not a baby dammit!", Natsume shouted. "What can I do to guarantee her life?"

"Unless you're able to make it disappear, she won't be able to get away with it", he explained.

"How can I make it disappear?"

"I don't think there's a way", Ioran sighed frustrated.

"There must be a way!", Natsume raised his voice.

"Try to understand-"

"Understand!?", Natsume asked with irony. "You have no idea! You don't know how it feels to be about to lose the one you love!"

He left the room fuming of angriness, thinking for sure, his dad didn't know a thing about the situation. If only he had warned him, they wouldn't be in this mess.

"You have no idea", Ioran whispered.

"You knew!?", Natsume asked entering Ruka's room with a quick pace.

Hotaru who was reading a magazine exchanged a look with the crimson eyed one who seemed to have real fire in his eyes.

"What are you talking abo-", he wasn't able to finish his question since Natsume took him by the neck of his shirt, pulling him closer.

"The hell are you doing Hyuuga?", asked Hotaru worried for Ruka.

Natsume let go, "You knew about Mikan's fate didn't you?"

Hotaru raised a brow, "Mikan's faith?"

"Mikan is pregnant", he explained unaware of Hotaru and Ruka's spied on them.

"And?", asked a confused Ruka.

"She's going to die! The thing inside her is going to take her soul away"

Both Ruka and Hotaru's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Mikan will die?", Hotaru asked as if she's seen a ghost.

"You really didn't know?", Natsume asked Ruka still doubting. "But you're one of the best scientists in the underworld!"

"I don't specialize in taboo areas", Ruka defended himself. "However, what you're saying is true?"

Natsume nodded as his body collapsed, he kneeled down and started crying, as loud and as much as he ever cried.

Losing his lover was an unbearable pain.

Natsume opened his eyes tiredly, he found himself in his bed. Well, his human world bed, which he actually liked even more than his old bed. It didn't mean this bed was better, all the contrary, it was small and old but it had an special meaning.

He now felt a little bothered by being there, regretting the night he spend with Mikan in that same bed made him growl. A beautiful memory that had become a terrible one.

He sat on the bed; the taste on his lips was certainly blood. Surely, Ruka must have given him some and then send him home.

He sighed, messing his hair a little and then felt surprised when he saw someone sleeping next to him. She was kneeling down on the floor as her head rested in the side of the bed.

He gave out a sigh, and started playing with her hair.

"Wake up", he whispered caressing her cheek.

Mikan slowly opened her eyes as well, "Hey", she whispered back.

"How are you feeling?", he asked, surely the news had a big impact on her.

"I'm okay and the baby is fine as well", she smiled but Natsume gave her an angry look instead of the tender one he had a few seconds before.

"Don't call that a baby"

Mikan frowned, "It is a baby, our baby"

"Didn't you hear? That thing will take your life away!", Natsume raised his voice.

"That thing you're talking about is our baby!", she emphasized.

"Don't call it like that!", Natsume lost it. "Do you think I'll sit arm crossed and wait until you die when you give birth? You're totally wrong"

"Then you should change your mind, I'm having this baby!", Mikan raised her voice as well.

"I love you Mikan, have you forgotten our promise to be always together!?", Natsume asked frowning hard.

"If you love me then you should love our baby as well"

"I can't love something that will take my lover away from me!", Natsume said in desperation.

Mikan sighed, taking a step closer to Natsume and giving him a hug. "I don't like fighting with you but I guess we'll be fighting a lot on this nine months", she said sadly.

"I won't let you have that thing", Natsume said decided.

"It's my last wish", Mikan smiled weakly.

"Don't say that!", Natsume shouted, his eyes reflecting so much pain.

"Reality has also hit you, hasn't it?" she didn't wait for his reply. "I was dead before we met, I had lost my best friend and anything seemed to have sense anymore. You gave me love, hope and my best friend back. I've met amazing people but most importantly, I've loved like never before and that has no price", she kissed Natsume's lips quickly.

"I love you and this selfish feelings can lead me to do something you'd hate, even if you would hate me, if you are alive then I wouldn't care about anything else"

Mikan gave a few steps back, "You would kill our baby?", she asked afraid.

Natsume didn't say a word.

"Whatever happens, I want to give you this child", Mikan smiled. "I won't be able to live forever as a human by your side but this baby can be the memory of me for all the centuries you'll keep on living"

Natsume gave a sad look, leaned closer and kissed her deeply, hoping she'll be able to understand how much he loved her and how much she'd missed her if something happened to her.

"Let's enjoy our time left", Mikan smiled but Natsume didn't answer.

He had nine months left until his heart will be forever broken.

Mikan washed her face with the cold water that came from the faucet. She had tried her hardest not to cry in front of him. When he left to get answers back to the underworld, her sister left immediately, she had a feeling she didn't really like her but also, she didn't think she was a bad person, maybe just worried about her dear brother.

When she was left alone she cried so much, but she cried even harder when Ruka and Hotaru came to the human world carrying Natsume who fainted due exhaustion. Hotaru cried as well, hugging her and promising she'll find a way to save her with Ruka's help.

She wasn't expecting a miracle, and honestly she didn't want it. She only hoped for Natsume to get to love their baby and eventually for him or her to become a memory of the love they shared.

She gave another sigh and entered her room which was totally dark, before she could threw herself into her bed as she always does; she spotted due to the moonlight, someone sitting on her bed, looking at her directly.

Mikan didn't shout this time or felt scared; she knew who the person in front of her was. Even though it was the first time they two see each other, she had a feeling she knew who he was.

"You're Natsume's dad aren't you?"
