Previously on LOVE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY……
"She's mine" Natsume said simply and implying every word.
"WHAT?!" Mikan exclaimed obviously shocked on the turn out of events. Is that really Natsume? My heart is beating so fast what's happening to me? To us?
"Don't make me repeat myself polkadot. I know you're an idiot not deaf." He said calmly his bangs covering his eyes to hide the tint of red his cheeks held.
"Yeah! Only daddy Natsume dates my mommy!" a small kid who heard the entire conversation said startling the other occupants of the table.
"Mommy?!" Sumire yelled again across the room.
"Yeah, her, she's my mommy. " Youichi said while pointing at Mikan.
"NNNNOOOOOO!!" Sumire exclaimed then fainted.
"Bad luck for you old hag!" the little boy said while stepping on his walking towards his 'parents'.
"Hn" Natsume said while thanking the Gods that he was saved by no other than his favourite Kohai.
Youichi got Mikan's right hand and Natsume's left hand and proceeded to drag them out of the room. Everybody just stared at the 'Hyuuga family' with their jaws dropped.
"My princess…..!" Ken called out anime style.
End of recap…
CHAPTER 4: We're Meant To Be
As the little 'family' exited the place they went straight to Youichi's dormitory and walked him to his room.
"Youichi-kun have a good nights sleep" said Mikan with a sweet smile resembling one of a mother's which made Natsume look at her and blush a bright crimson. This did not escape the eyes of their ghost manipulating 'son'.
"Mommy, can you give daddy and me a kiss before I sleep?" the little boy said
"Uhm… uhm…" Mikan mumbled thinking of what she should do. "Well, you see Youichi-kun" she was practically blushing very hard by now until she felt strong hands grabbed her waist and her eyes widen as she saw Natsume's face coming closer and closer towards her own face.
Here goes nothing Natsume thought as she kissed her on the cheeks.
Mikan was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say and remained silent.
"Yay! Daddy kissed my mommy!" Youichi exclaimed. Natsume averted his eyes from them to hide his blush.
"I think it's time for you to sleep now Youichi" he said. Just then, Mikan kissed his cheek and the boy went inside his room happily.
The 'couple' were left outside the door and were shyly glancing at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking. By chance, their eyes met and both blushed a crimson red and turned away from each other.
Natsume was the one to break the eerie silence between them. "Want to go for a walk polkadots?"
"I told you my name is Mikan… M-I-K-A-N…!" she said as she stuck out her tongue at him.
"Tch. Whatever" as he started walking towards 'their' Sakura tree while the brunette looked at him bewildered but non the less followed him.
Without them realizing, they were standing in front of their Sakura tree. Natsume seated himself under it at started gazing at the stars pretending not to mind the certain idiot that captured his heart who sat herself beside him.
"So… that was a nice show you put up there Natsume-kun.. Hehe.." she said while pretending to laugh. When I felt him kiss me, it's like I enjoyed every minute of it… Hmm… What?! Mikan no baka! He's never going to love someone like you so stop hallucinating! Arg!
"What are you talking about strawberries?" he faced her giving off his trade mark smirk.
Strawberries? She thought and it dawned to her that her skirt have flipped up when she seated herself beside him. "Na…Na… Natsume no hentai!!!!!!" she screamed
"Gods! Shut up polkadots, do you intend to wake up the whole school population with your annoying voice?"
"Hmnp!" Mikan ignored him and started to walk away. But before she could do so she felt an iron grip on her wrist and found the raven haired boy intently staring at her own eyes. She felt her knees weaken under his piercing gaze.
"What do you mean by 'show' a while ago?" he asked
"Uhm…" completely realizing what he meant. "The show when you kissed me just to make Youichi happy.. Hehe.. that was very nice of you Natsume-kun" Mikan tried to free herself from his grip but failed to do so.
In mere seconds Mikan found herself pinned on the Sakura tree by Natsume's strong hands. His hold was gentle but solid. "I meant when I said that your 'mine' Mikan" he proclaimed.
The brunette found herself shocked at the kuro neko's declaration and stared at his intense crimson eyes that showed a glimpse of care, love and… jealousy.
" I want you to be mine… and mine alone.." Natsume said while he held her chin up and gently caressing it. Mikan found herself blushing. Natsume… But my promise to Ken-kun…
"But… Natsume-kun…"
A if he can read her mind "And stay away from Kinimoto" he declared. "I don't trust him"
Oh… I'm so confused… What am I suppose to do? I… I… I'm sorry Natsume-kun… She trailed in her thoughts.
Suddenly, Natsume felt sudden resistance from the girl he loved underneath his hold. She was pushing him away.
"Why…?" he said quietly while he covered his eyes with his bangs to hide his frustration.
"WHY?! Do you love that Kinimoto that much?!" he shouted angrily at her.
"No.. Natsume-kun.. It's no-" Mikan was immediately cut off when she felt his lips crushing into her own giving her all the love he held for her in the kiss.
Natsume kissed her hungrily and with much passion that Mikan wanted to melt then and there. Oh Natsume-kun.. I wish… I wish…. Her trail of thoughts where interrupted as she felt him release her lips from the searing kiss they shared but his grip was still on her.
"I hope you remember that when you are in the arms of another" Natsume said with much disappointment but still with love evident in his voice though his face showed that of an emotionless one but with a slight hint of anger. "I'll still wait… for you… and only you…." With that he walked away leaving her dumbfounded and unable to speech due to the sudden turn of events.
Mikan walked towards her room and slumped herself in a fetal position on her bed and cried herself to sleep whispering to the air… I love you…
