Chapter 2

'beep..beep..beep..beeeeep.." the silver like ball exploded, leaving a group of unfortunate people in its place. Corpse were increasing in numbers every second and fire was found everywhere.

'Beep..beep.." the second one landed beside a certain raven-haired boy. The brunette realized her beloved would be blown into smithereens in a few seconds if she did not do anything.

"NATSUME!! BOMB!!" she screamed in horror as she rushed towards him. The boy spotted the silver like thing beside him and with a swift movement of his leg, he sent it flying away. Mikan watched as the bomb exploded in midair and turned to look at Natsume again. She heaved a sign of relief when she saw him with no new injuries.

"Natsume…thank goodness…" She cried as she ran towards him. "Let's go there!" she said, pointing towards a now dilapidated warehouse. They quickened their paces and knock out whatever enemy that comes in their way.

Once they were alone in the warehouse, they ran towards the furthest corner of the room and sat down. The flamecaster tried to catch his breadth as he breathed deeply. Mikan looked at him with concerned eyes and asked, "Are…are you okay….Please don't use too much of your alice…If…if something happens to you…I wouldn't want to live either…" She sobbed into her hands.

"Baka." The ever nonchalant Natsume replied. "Don't be stupid… Why would you want to do that…foolish girl…" He caressed her tear-strewn cheeks and brushed her fringe aside, pulling her into a warm and passionate kiss.

"How I wish that this moment would never end…" Mikan thought as she gave entrance to Natsume, allowing him to explore her mouth.

Sadly, all good things are to end one day. Enemies invaded their little paradise and saw the twosome. "Surrender immediately! Or we will show you no mercy!" One stepped forward and ordered.

Natsume pushed Mikan behind him as he said, "Then what if I refused…" Enemies came charging towards them as the couple tried to defend themselves as long as they can. The flamecaster was almost at his limit. "Curse that alice of mine…why does it have to work up at this time…?" He spurted out blood as he kneeled down, too weak to stand.

"Natsume??" Mikan whimpered as she kneeled beside him. Without Natsume, they were apprehended quickly. "Damn!" He cursed, droplets of blood drip down from his lips as he saw his beloved Mikan being grasped by one of the enemy.

"AH!! Let go!" She cried. Fury burning inside him, he used his remaining strength to burn the enemy as Mikan ran behind him for shelter. "Natsume…" Tears rolled down her cheeks as she held on to Natsume weakly.

"Don't worry…I will protect you…" He said as he stood up slowly. "Even if it means that I would die… I promise…" She widened her eyes in surprise as she looked into his red orbs. "Natsume…" She whispered.

"HAHAHA!! Foolish couple…" Another enemy, most probably the leader of the group, said. "I still have plans for you once I capture you two… heehee…what would I do to the beautiful girl over there…I guess she shall be mine to fool with…hahahahaha!" He snickered wickedly as his hand reach out for Mikan's face.

"Get your hand away from her you dirty freak!!" Natsume slapped his hand away from his beloved brunette, resulting in a burn on the guy's hand.

"AH! Why you…" Before he could say anything, a wall of fire was created in front of him, blocking them from the couple.

Natsume coughed out more blood as he had used too much energy to create the wall. "Mikan…" he whispered, "go…now…before they catch you…" He panted.

"What are you saying?" Mikan stared at him as she shook her head in disbelief.

"GO! You won't stand a chance against them, and I think I can't make it this time… go…pleas-"

"NO! I won't"

"What-"

"Have you forgotten that I said that I would never ever leave you? I can't survive without you… I will NOT leave you…never ever…Natsume, if you can't make it, so can't i…"

"Mikan…" He looked at her in shock as his crimson eyes glared at her. Then, his looks softened as he said, "Very well……You are still so stubborn till the end, right? Just hope that you don't regret this…"

"I never will……I love you… Natsume…I love you…"

"Me too..Aishiteru…Mikan…My love…"

Natsume released his control over the fire that he had created and let it spread around the enemies quickly. He let all of his remaining alice flow out of him, creating a large fire. "Mikan……" he said as he looked at the brunette in his arms.

"Natsume…" The brunette replied. Sharing one last kiss they have, they finally departed from the world………

"I will never forget you… My love…"
