Chapter 6

Natsume's POV

I was awakened by the sound of Ruka's voice.

"Natsume, I am here so…"

He stopped mid sentence and turned beet red, I realized why as soon as I felt Mikan stir beside me.

"I am outside." Muttered Ruka as he hurriedly left the room.

I turned to the brunette beside me who was staring at the door in confusion.

"Why did he leave like that?"

I could not hold back my smile.

"Where are you?"

"In your room." Comprehension dawned.

"Your room, your bed, your shirt… No wonder he reacted that way."

"You forgot, in your arms."

We looked at each other and then burst out laughing. It was ridiculous. It seemed obvious to Ruka that something had happened between us last night, while in truth, she just did not want to be alone.

Chuckling I got out of bed and stretched, only to realize that she was staring at me. I was shirtless. This is getting interesting.

Normal POV

"Like what you see?" Natsume asked.

At this Mikan blushed and looked away. Snickering, Natsume went into the bathroom.

Mikan entered the living room, where, Ruka was waiting for them, only to realize that she was only wearing Natsume's shirt. She strode quickly to her room, leaving Ruka completely astounded.

Ruka's POV

"Hi guys."

"Hi"

"Hey" I greeted as Anna, Nonoko, Hotaru and Kia joined us for breakfast. I still can't help but stare at Mikan and Natsume; they are acting as if nothing happened. I thought if nothing else, they might be acting a bit lover like, but no, they are quarreling just like any other day. These two are damn confusing.

"Ruka why are you not eating?" Trust Mikan to get all worried.

"Did you see something you should not have? Or did you barge in a at the wrong moment?" and trust Hotaru to be blunt.

"Umm it's nothing. Nope, nothing at all."

Suddenly Mikan and Natsume started laughing.

But before anyone could say anything, the rest of the gang showed up, except for Misaki.

To my chagrin, I was blushing, and that prat Natsume told everyone the incident that occurred earlier this morning, but he also told them what even I did not know.

"Nothing happened between us, but Ruka was so flustered that I decided not to inform him."

That jerk, I want to kill my best friend right now.

"Don't you guys have college?" Mikan took pity on me and changed the topic, thank god for that.

It was Yuu who answered. "We are having holidays right now."

"At this time of the year?" Mikan wondered.

"Well, you see, Natsume here, told the principal to either give us a fortnight long break, or he would set his office on fire, and send him on a long break. This happened earlier on the day he met you. The old guy chose the safer option." Koko clarified.

"That explains it." Then she added as an after thought, "You are such a bully, Natsume."

"Whatever idiot."

"I want to go to the amusement park again." Kia suddenly piped up, causing all of us to stare at her.

"And you two will come with me this time, please." She pleaded with Natsume and Mikan.

"All right sweetie."

"Hn"

So it was decided, because of one four-year old, a whole group of teenagers were going to go to the amusement park.

Natsume's POV

"I am going to kill Tsubasa." I muttered to Ruka who just snickered.

That jerk how dare he flirt with Mikan.

"No need Hyugga, look who's here." Apparently Hotaru Imai can hear everything.

I turned around to see Misaki, glowering at Tsubasa who had not noticed her, yet.

"Mikan is too much of an idiot." Misaki said, coming up to where me, Ruka and Imai were standing. "Doesn't even realize when someone's flirting with her, even when the jerk is so obvious." I said finishing the sentence.

With a nod at me, Misaki strode forwards, grabbed her boyfriend by the collar, and dragged him to a nearby fountain, in which she dumped him, without any hesitation.

"What was that for?" Tsubasa spluttered, standing in the fountain, soaking wet.

I couldn't help but join in the laughter.

"Remember this, the next time you even look at another girl." And with that Misaki walked away from him, gave Nonoko a high five, took Mikan's arm and led her away.

We were watching Tsubasa with a mixture of hilarity and pity.

Tough luck having such a strict girlfriend, but he deserved worse for flirting with my Mikan, wait did I just say my Mikan? Weird.

Normal POV

It was still early evening when Natsume and Mikan reached home. Hotaru and Ruka had taken Kia with them, telling these two to join them tomorrow for breakfast, at Ruka's place.

As Natsume drove inside, they saw a middle aged couple standing on the porch talking to someone from the staff. They were overdressed for the weather and seemed very fidgety.

"What an odd couple." Natsume remarked.

"Not a couple." Mikan whispered, her eyes filled with dread, "They are brother and sister."

Natsume looked at her and suddenly he understood. His eyes were filled with anger as well as determination.

"I'll make them pay." He said in a voice as cold as ice.

Hello everyone, this is a very short chapter but its just a prelude to the next chapter where Mikan's past will finally be revealed. Please review!! I'll update soon.
