CHAPTER 13

Mr. Narumi was not pleased at all.

"CLASS!" he yelled in exasperation, ducking a paper airplane at the same time, "WE HAVE A NEW STUD-"

A paper ball hit him square on the face as he stumbled backwards, knocking into someone, who coughed loudly.

"Mr. Jinno!" he gasped in relief.

"It's time I took charge here," he said sternly, adjusting his spectacles and tapping his electric wand onto the table.

"CLASS!" he bellowed, as everyone stopped their activities for a moment, staring at him.

Mr. Jinno scrutinized the whole classroom.

Everyone was paying attention now, except for the two students sitting at the back.

Natsume Hyuuga leaned on his chair with both arms folded, his feet placed on the table as his face was covered by a manga, making it apparent that he was sleeping. Beside him, Mikan Sakura had rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes closed too.

The class followed his gaze and stared at the two.

"AHEM." Mr. Jinno coughed loudly.

There was no response.

"HYUUGA AND SAKURA!" he yelled, losing his patience.

Natsume woke up with a start, his manga falling off his head, revealing his brilliant red orbs and his fine features. His fan club sighed in admiration. Natsume yawned and sat up slightly, careful not to wake his favorite brunette up.

Mr. Jinno raised his eyebrows and gestured to Mikan Sakura impatiently.

Natsume shot him a death glare, giving him a don't-you-dare-wake-her-up look.

The frog lover ignored this and plunged straight into his death.

"SAKURA!!!" he yelled, pointing his electric wand at her as shockwaves made their way towards the nullifier.

Mikan Sakura woke up just in time to dodge the attack as Mr. Jinno's electric wand and his sleeve caught fire.

He cried out in alarm as Natsume smirked, clearly satisfied.

"Mr. Jinno!" Narumi grabbed a fire extinguisher quickly, aiming it at the aforementioned.

He was now covered in white powder, coughing violently. Mr. Jinno pointed a shaking finger at Natsume, "You…"

"Um, class, we have a new student," said Narumi nervously, "I'll introduce her properly later, right now I have to send Mr. Jinno to the hospital."

A tall and slender figure stepped into the class.

Everyone except Natsume, Mikan, Hotaru and Ruka was blown away by her stunning beauty. She had jet black hair which reached her shoulders, and her tantalizing cerulean orbs currently swept across the whole class coolly.

"Hey," she flashed a seductive smile, causing all of the single males to swoon, "I'm Yui Hana, and I have the Alice of Wind."

She bowed politely as Natsume stared at her coldly.

"Hey, Natsume… Let's invite Yui-chan to sit with us," Mikan chirped happily.

"No." he responded flatly.

"Why not?" Mikan was puzzled.

"Because…" Natsume smirked, cupping her chin, "We don't want to be disturbed, do we?"

Mikan blinked. "Disturbed?"

"Yeah," his face was now inches apart from her, "Disturbed."

"Do-Doing what?" she blushed furiously.

"I don't know, maybe something like…" Natsume kissed her neck gently, "…This?"

The whole class gasped at his bold actions. Yui Hana's expression hardened as everyone's attention was fixed onto Natsume and Mikan.

"Natsume… What are you doing!?" Mikan whispered, flustered.

He watched Yui Hana from the corner of his eye grimly.

"Warning someone to back off."

Natsume grabbed Mikan's wrist and pulled her up, walking past Yui. Mikan was practically dragged out of the classroom.

"Natsume!" she shrieked.

"Shut up, Polka Dots!"

"Will you stop calling me that!?"

"Fine then, Strawberries."

"YOU BLOODY PERVERT!"

"Polka Dots," Natsume said warningly, "Do you want me to seal your lips again?"

Mikan shut her mouth automatically. She'd been embarrassed enough.

Under the Sakura tree, two figures rested peacefully.

"Are you tired, Natsume?" Mikan closed her eyes, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I'm used to it," he replied, flipping the pages of his manga.

She smiled.

"Do you know what Yui-chan whispered to me last night?"

"Crap," Natsume suggested.

"She said you were hot," Mikan laughed, "And that's why I got distracted."

"Baka…" Natsume looked away as a faint blush crept to his face.

"I think she likes you," said Mikan absent-mindedly, frowning to herself.

Suddenly, Natsume was staring at her intensely.

"Jealous, Polka Dots?" he teased, smirking.

"As… As if!" Mikan stuck her tongue out at him and tried to scramble up when Natsume stretched out lazily and pulled her back down.

"Are you sure you weren't jealous?" he whispered in her ear.

"Of course not," she smiled.

A little didn't count, did it?

Natsume raised his eyebrows. "You're a bad liar," he muttered under his breath.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over them. Mikan looked up, "Yui-chan!"

"Hey," Yui smiled, "I was just wondering… Maybe Natsume could give me a tour around the school."

"No." he replied icily.

"Well," she smirked slyly, "How about Mikan-chan then?"

"Sure," Mikan stood up, prepared to walk away with Yui. Natsume glared at Yui coldly, as she merely smirked.

He got up and pulled Mikan away.

"I'll go. Stay here, Polka Dots."

"But-"

"Don't worry, Miss I'm-So-Jealous-But-I-Just-Won't-Admit-It," Natsume smirked at her, walking away.

"…… I am NOT jealous!" Mikan yelled at him, smiling inwardly.

Mr. I-Want-Mikan-To-Be-Jealous-But-I-Just-Won't-Admit-It.

She frowned slightly.

She didn't like the idea of Natsume and Yui walking together at all.

What the hell am I thinking? Natsume's words must've got me there.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Natsume pinned Yui Hana against a wall, leaning close to her.

"I don't think you registered what I said that day," He snarled, "I said I was taken."

Yui Hana stared at him defiantly.

"I did," She pulled him closer towards her, "And let me tell you now. You will be taken. By me," Yui Hana crashed her lips onto his, kissing him forcefully.

Natsume pushed her away roughly, wiping his mouth with his sleeve.

"Stay away from her."

She smirked.

"It depends. If you don't leave her soon enough, I might not be able to."

"Are you threatening me?" he said dangerously.

"If you want to put it that way, yeah." said Yui pleasantly.

"Listen up," Natsume grabbed her collar, almost choking her, "If you touch her…" Fire appeared on his palms, "I swear I'll give it back ten fold."

Yui blinked. "You really love her, don't you?"

"It's none of your business." He let go.

"You see, Natsume. That's your weakness. She's your weakness." Yui stepped closer towards Natsume, smiling.

"Shut up."

"I know what to do now, Natsume." Yui walked past him, a smirk plastered onto her face, "Mikan Sakura will be out of the picture soon, leaving just me, and you."

She turned back, blowing a kiss at him before leaving. He grabbed her wrist, whispering in her ear, "No one can separate us. She's mine, and I'm hers. It's that simple. So leave us alone and find someone else."

"No can do, Natsume."

"Mikan isn't that weak," he smirked. "In the end, you'll be the one out of the picture."

Mikan Sakura's doorbell rang a few times.

The moment she opened the door, Natsume Hyuuga enveloped her into his arms, resting his chin on her head.

"Mikan…" he murmured.

"Natsume…?"

His grip tightened as he hugged her silently, finally whispering, "I don't think I've told you this before."

I swear, I'll never let you go.

"Told me what?" Mikan buried her head into his shoulders, enjoying the warmth that he was giving her.

"… Nothing."

She knew it, anyway.
