Chapter 12 – Expect the Unexpected
Normal
After their talk, Mikan left to go to bed. In a way, they were both very happy. Mikan got to be with Natsume, while at the same time, keeping her beloved best friend. And Dimitri, although he was slightly heartbroken, he was genuinely happy about Mikan getting to be happy with someone. They both slept soundly that night. And you know who else slept soundly for the first night in years? A certain fire caster.
The next morning, Mikan woke up energized, but hungry. She ate some scrambled eggs and toast, and then went for the howalon she kept hidden under her bed. "I FORGOT TO PICK UP THE HOWALON IN TOWN YESTERDAY!" Mikan practically yelled. "Maybe I can get Natsume to go with me today…" She got dressed and put her hair in a ponytail. Then our pretty brunette hurried down to Natsume's room and quickly knocked on his door. Our crimson eyed fellow opened it and smirked, "Just couldn't stay away from me huh, polka." "You wish." Mikan said, rolling her beautiful hazel eyes, "And do NOT call me polka! I came down here to ask you if you would go to town with me today to get some howalon!" "And why would I do that?" Natsume asked, smirk growing even wider, "Well, I thought my boyfriend would want to come with me!" Mikan snapped. At the word boyfriend, Natsume grew a gorgeous smile on his face that Mikan had never seen before. She gasped as he pulled her in for a kiss. Their lips were in sync for about twenty seconds before Mikan pulled away, "So, are you going with me to town or not?" She pouted, and Natsume just couldn't resist, "I guess I'll come. I need some eye candy hanging on my arm when I go out anyway…" That earned him a smack across the arm. Better than across the face. He thought, remembering the smack he had gotten before. Telling her that he'd be back in a few, he went back in his room to get dressed. Mikan waited patiently for him to come out when a bunch of fan girls showed up. "Mikan-Chan! Is it true that you're with Natsume?" "Um… Well, uh…" She was saved by someone grabbing her and holding her to their chest, "Yes, that's right, now leave." Natsume said with a cold voice with eyes to match. The girls left immediately. "Thanks for saving me there Natsume." He smirked, "Anything for my girlfriend." Mikan blushed at the statement. They then started out of the academy for town.
Hand in hand, they walked. Both of them so happy they could hardly contain it. But Natsume, oooh, he was so elated he actually felt like smiling! He kept his composure though. But when they were talking, he couldn't help it sometimes. His smile was the best thing Mikan had ever seen. They decided to stop at the park and grab some ice cream, "Chocolate please!" Mikan yelled, "Oi, polka! Keep it down, you don't need to go and make me light your hair on fire, do you?'' Natsume's reply made Mikan cringe, remembering the time he actually stood by that statement. After they got their ice cream, they sat down on a bench and started talking. They both smiled and laughed, and when they were both finished with their ice cream, Mikan looked at Natsume and blurted out what she's never even thought of saying to him, "I love you too Natsume." They were both stunned at what had just been said. But, after approximately 37 seconds, Natsume smiled so wide he thought his jaw would break, then he kissed her. Getting lost in the feel of his lips against hers, she tangled her fingers in his hair while he held onto her waist. "Ehem!" someone interrupted, which reminded them that they were in a public park. With a little girl and her pissed off grandmother standing just a few feet away. "If you're going to do something like THAT, take it where the children won't see. Jeez, young people these days…" she muttered as she walked off with the little girl. There was a blush creeping up Mikan's cheeks. Natsume laughed and kissed her lightly on the nose. They intertwined their hands once again, heading for Mikan's beloved howalons.
They were walking down the sidewalk, still happy as ever. They had to cross the road, and there were so many cars. It seemed like forever until they were able to cross the street. When they did, Mikan realized that her black sparkly hair tie came out in the middle of the road. Seeing as how there were no cars coming, Natsume just smirked at her and went to get it, seeing as how "It was her last sparkly special black one!" As Natsume bent down to pick it up, an obviously speeding car came raging in Natsume's path. He didn't notice, until he was pushed out of the way, the car flying by without slowing down. He looked across the street and Mikan wasn't there. "Oh no." He said in disbelief as he looked unwillingly to the left, following a trail of red liquid, to find a brunette, face down, in a pool of blood.
