Chapter 3

The Brunette girl walks along the Sakura Trees, thinking deeply, there were few students today, it's because it is a weekend, the fresh air is blowing through her long brown hair, she sat on the shade of the same Sakura tree, the Sakura tree when she was first kissed, the Sakura tree where she fell in love with a firecaster, the same Sakura tree where Natsume confessed his feelings in front of Her and Akira Souma.

"Little Girl!" a voice called

She looks up the branch,

" Hey Natsume." She greeted gloomily

"Huh…" what's the matter…

"You wanna climb up,"

"Can I?"

Mikan climb up the tree

"Something Wrong?" he asked

"Nothing."

"Don't fool me!"

"I'm sorry"

"What's the Matter?"

"It's Just that I feel like I'm being watch, after that Incident on the dining area, I feel like someone is always watching me. It's quite scary you know."

"It's just an Idiot's intuition."

"What? I don't think your quite helpful Natsume, I should go somewhere else, see you later." Mikan Jumped down the tree, but because she's preoccupied she didn't manage to fall the right way making her ankle sprain.

"Darn, I say the wrong thing again, in the wrong time, Natsume you Bastard!" Natsume thought

"Ouch!"

Natsume looked down and saw Mikan on the ground

"Hey' are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine," She stood up and fell again

Natsume jumped down "What happen?" he asked

"Nothing," Mikan cried

"Tsk, you're such an idiot!"

Natsume carry her

"Hey what are you doing? Put me down, someone might see us!"

"I don't care!"

"Where are you taking me?"

"To the clinic dummy."

Natsume carry Mikan

"Here, that should do it, just take a rest Miss Sakura, Mr. Hyuuga, can you carry Miss Sakura to her room?"

"Tsk."

Natsume pick up Mikan, when they got out many students we're looking

"Isn't that the black cat Natsume Hyuuga? Why is he carrying that girl?"

"I heard that girl was Mikan Sakura, last year she was the girlfriend of the famous Akira Souma, they just broke up then she's hanging around with Natsume, that's a shame."

Natsume look at Mikan, she turn much sadder, Natsume throw a murderous look and set the lady's bag on fire."

"AaaaaaHHH"

"Natsume, you shouldn't do that!"

"I don't care about them."

The two went on walking until…"

"Hey, my room is down that corridor, what are you doing?"

"You're not going to your room; you're going to my room."

"Huh?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When they reach Natsume's room…

"Why did you bring me here?"

"You said that you feel like someone's following you right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"You're such an idiot."

"Yes I'am" Mikan said

"I should go now."

"No you won't be going anywhere."

"But…"

"You'll stay here!" Natsume shouted

"I've got to meet someone on the Northern Forest."

"You're not going"

"But?"

"I'll tell Ruka that he has to send one of his birds giving that guy a message that you can't make it today."

"You're so cruel! How could you do this to me?"

"Are you in the state of condition to be meeting someone, whom you didn't know?"

"I could meet him, even if my ankle's not working well."

"You're so stubborn!"

"Not as stubborn as you are!"

"You're staying here and that's final!"

"You can't control my life. I thought that something will change if I chose you over him but no, nothing has change, and you're still the Natsume I fear, the Natsume I hate, I can't even remember when is the time I fell in love to selfish man like you!"

"tug!"

Mikan fell silent, Natsume punch the wall hard he's raven black hair cover his face that Mikan could tell that was grinning in Anger

"N-Natsume I'm sorry."

"You can't remember?" he said in a deep dark voice

"Even the reason why you chose me over Akira?"

Natsume pushed Mikan on the wall

"What are you doing? Please don't do this to me again, Natsume…"

"Remember? This is the exact location when you first gave in to my kiss."

"Yes indeed this is the same place, the same spot…" Mikan thought

"You can't do this Natsume…"

"I can do everything I want you're in my room."

Tears from Mikan's eyes fell

"Why are you crying?"

He touch Mikan's rosy cheeks wiping the tear away

"Natsume…"

"Don't cry. Please."

"It's been a really long time since the last time I kiss those lips of yours,"

He drew much closer, his left arm snake through Mikan's waist moving her a lot more closer

"You didn't know how much I love you Mikan,"

He kisses Mikan's teary cheeks, trail it down to her trembling lips, he presses his lips over hers, kissing her passionately, urging her to respond once more…

"This lips… I remember 7 years ago I was kissed by this lips, last year I surrender my heart to this lips, now… I'll surrender again… Natsume Hyuuga… the only boy I cared…Why does it have to be Damn you!"

Then she finally gave in, she kiss Natsume back,

"I will never let go of this lips never." Natsume thought

He finally lifted his lips through Mikan's, kiss her cheeks again and embracing her tight.

"Mikan…" he whispered

"Why? Why does he always did that?, every time he pissed me off, I ended up kissing him in return. You're so stupid Mikan!"

Natsume instantly move throwing himself and Mikan to the bed still embracing her

"Hey… Natsume this is too much!! We can't do this!" Mikan said trembling

"Shhhh… Don't make too much noise, someone's watching us."

"Huh? Since when? How?"

"If I found out who he is, he's dead." Natsume threateningly said.

He looked at Mikan's hazel eyes

"What now?" She asked

"So… It's checkered today?" Natsume said

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Mikan look at her skirt that's flung up when Natsume moved her

"PERVERT!" Mikan shouted pushing Natsume out of the bed

Natsume just grin, and got up

"Take a rest!"

"I don't want to!"

"You must!"

"How about you?"

"I'll just read. Now sleep."

"Oh Okay, stubborn Man!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later…………

"tug, tug, tug"

"Who's that?" Natsume ask with the same unfriendly voice he has

"It's Ruka."

"What do you want?"

"Can I come in Please?"

"Now's not really a good time."

"I just want you to know that the guy from the northern Forest…"

"Huh? What about him?"

"We didn't see him there."

Natsume move in a gaze of unobvious worry

"He's not there."

Natsume narrowed his eyes

"Natsume?"

"Ok you can go now."

"Natsume?"

"What is it?"

"Have you seen Mikan, Anna and Nonoko are looking for her."

"That idiot? Yes, she's here."

"What?"

"Don't tell."

"But…"
"Just don't tell."

"Okay then, see yah."

Then Ruka leave

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 4

"Natsume……………… Where are you? Why is it so dark?"

"Mikan……………Mikan………"

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"

"You'll be separated……………… I won't allow him to completely steal you from me; I've been watching you for 17 years now!"

"What? Who are you?"

"Hey………………… Checkered wake up!" Natsume shake Mikan up

"Huh!" Mikan gasped for air as she wake up, her brown long hair is partly wet, because of her sweat."

"What is it?"

"He's been watching me…… for 17 years…"

"Who?" Natsume ask in a deep serious voice

"I-I don't know?"

"huh, what an idiot."

"What time is it now?"

"Its 7 pm… you're quite a sleepyhead."

"7 pm!?" I should go to my room now!"

"Okay, If you can walk………" he said with an unfeeling eyes and a deep but sure voice

Mikan got up but she loses her balance and fall

"See, you can't walk, that means you stay."

"But…"

"Tomorrow, I'm sure you can walk a little, you can go by then."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Mikan's room…………

"Mikan, Are you there?"

---

"Hey Mikan?" Nonoko called once more

"Where is she?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mikan can't sleep, maybe because she already slept from 1 pm to 7 pm, or maybe because of that disturbing dream that is haunting her… She looked at Natsume, sleeping at the chair she put a small pillow and a blanket, and then she leave the room.

7:30 am she came to the classroom, greeting everybody a good morning! She also greets Ruka and Natsume.

"Tch." Natsume unfeelingly replied

"Mikan! What happened to you!!" Anna worriedly Ask

"Yeah, you look horrible." Sumire tease

"Oh I sprain my Ankle, just that!" Mikan Smiled

She sat on her desk next to Natsume's

Natsume throw her a why-did-you-leave-idiot look

She just smiled and throw him a because-it's-already-morning-darn-it look

Then Mr. Gino came

Few Minutes of classes passed until the bell ring

Everyone was hurrying out, Mikan can't hurry up because of her ankle, that's why she prefer to stay at the classroom.

But not that long commotion started lingering the school grounds.

"Mikan!!" you need to see this it's urgent!" Koko called her

"Huh? What is it?"

"Another commotion at the grounds!"
"How can I hurry up?"

Then Hotaru came riding his levitating duck invention.

"Idiot. Ride!"

"Is it that important?"

Then the duck's hand-like features carry Mikan up

Then Hotaru gave her a piece of paper

"What is this?"

It says: Duck Ride – 50 Rabbits

"You're as vain as ever." Mikan sweat dropped

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When they reach the grounds almost all of the high school students were gathered, and when someone yell…

"Hey it's Mikan Sakura!"

Everyone look at her.

"What?"

"Oh Mikan, it's scary!" Sumire yell at her

"What did I do?"

"Clear the way!" Yuu shouted

Yuu helped Mikan to move.

"What is it Yuu?"

"Just take a look for yourself."

She look at the center of the crowd and saw a whole table of Dead Inconstancy flowers, and a banner "For Mikan Sakura I Love You"

Then her pictures was piled up, it was everything she do, from the first time she's at the academy until the present… Yesterday.

"It's so scary, dead Inconstancy means betrayal," Anna said

"Huh? I never betray anyone.?"

"This is horrible."

Then another commotion took place

"Hey it's Natsume Hyuuga, make way!"

Then the crowd start whispering as Natsume Hyuuga pass

He look at Mikan and place he's fearsome crimson eyes to the table full of Inconstancy flowers.

He's looks like he never care but deep inside he was mumbling with anger.

He turned his back through the commotion then fire start oozing to the flowers and the banners.

"Look at what Natsume did, he's scary."

"If I didn't know him well I say he's in love with Mikan."

"No it can't be."

"But why did he burn the whole thing."

"I don't know."

Then Mr. Narumi came rushing

"Mikan!"

"Yes.?"

"We'll talk to you about this."

"Yes sir."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the faculty…

"This is too much, I can't allow someone to torture my student like this." Mr. Narumi angrily said

"But we didn't know who's behind this." Ms. Kimoto said

"What would we do?" Mr. Narumi defended

"Ms. Sakura, did you have an idea who might be doing this?" Mr. Gino said

"No, I don't have an idea. It started with a letter asking me to meet him at the Northern Forest, then my pictures spread at the cafeteria."

"How about the meeting, who is he?"

"I don't know, I was not able to meet him because I sprain my ankle, then this…"

"Don't worry Mikan, we'll protect you, just don't stay alone okay."

"Yes."
