Angels

Chapter One

(A Few Hours Before)

I was getting ready for my birthday party that Mikan was throwing me that was "supposively" suppose to be a surprised party but she blurted it out the last minute when I started tickling her. She hasn't talked to me since this morning. I saw her dressing in her new pink dress that I picked out with her and swaying around and twirling around looking at herself through the mirror. She saw me watching her through the reflection and turned and stuck out her tongue. "Your mean!" She pouted and put her hands on her waist.

I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her neck and kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry for ruining your surprise party." Natsume said with puppy eyes.

She turned around and smiled. "You owe me!" Mikan said cheerfully.

I rolled my eyes. "What do you want?" I asked while turning her around and making her face me.

"This." She said abruptly and the crushed her lips against mine.

I was shocked at first and then I smirked and kissed her back. I could feel her smiling and I ended the kiss. "Don't you still have to finish the party?" I asked her.

She gasped and then ran down stairs. "Come down in ten minutes!" She yelled as she ran down the stairs.
"Okay."
I looked at the clock and then waited until the time had ended. After a few minutes I could hear the door bell ring from down stairs and people whispering. Ten minutes had past and Mikan had come up smiling. "Hurry up!" She said, "Or you won't be able to make it to the movies!"

"Movies?" I said.

"Yeah! The new Transformers movie!"

I looked at her and then sighed and just played along as if her lie sounded like the truth. "I think it already started!" I said in shocked, "Got to go!"

I ran down the stairs and got prepared with my stoic expression when confetti and cheers erupted from all sides of the room. Mikan was right behind me smiling. "How was your surprise?"

I smiled and kissed her. "Thank you."

She turned red and just played with her fingers. "Just cause your twenty-one doesn't mean you can start banging her!" Kokoro yelled.

Mikan made a squeaking noise and ran into the kitchen. I glared at Kokoro and saw him laugh awkwardly and walk behind Ruka who had his arm wrapped around Imai's waist. Never actually understood how they hooked up but hey if they love each other that's all that matters. As I was greeted and congratulated I ran into Imai who had pulled me to the side to walk to me. "Are you really going to propose to her now?" She asked quietly.

I ran my hand through my hair. "Yeah, problem?"
She grabbed my tie and tightened it until I was close to chocking. "I swear if you make her cry you're going to pay." She said venomously, "I'm still her best friend and I wouldn't let anything happen to her."
I grabbed her hand and made her let go and loosened my tie once more. "I won't and if I do I'd probably just get all pissed off at myself until I apologies to her."

She smiled and patted me on the shoulder. "Happy birthday Hyuuga."

I smiled back. "Thanks."
I looked at the clock and noticed that time had pasted so fast and saw that everyone was ready to leave. I looked at Ruka and Imai and nodded my head. They walked over to Mikan who was talking to Nonoko and Anna and brought her over to the couch near the fireplace. I patted my pocket to make sure I had the small case in my pocket. I cleared my throat and walked over to Mikan. Mikan looked at me innocently and turned her head to the side a bit. "Attention everyone!" I said.

Everything became silent. I looked at Mikan who looked even more clueless. "I've known this woman since I was ten and for the past ten years I've been making many memories with this woman I've come to love."

She gasped when she saw me bend down on one knee. I took out the case from my pocket and opened it. "Will you Mikan Sakura ma-"
Before I could even finished my sentence, Luna Koizumi opened the door and had and gun already in her hands and her finger on the trigger. Everyone looked at her in horror and couldn't move. But in a split second she pulled the trigger and there was a scream that couldn't be mistaken. I had reacted even before I knew. She was going to kill her…I just knew she was and then I collapsed. I couldn't believe I'd gotten shot and was know on the floor having my girlfriend cry over me. I pressed my hand over my wound only to feel more pain. I wiped her tears only to see more form and drop. "I'm sorry." I whispered.

She shook her head furiously and grabbed the ring from the box. "I'll wait!" She said through her sobs, "I'll wait until you come back!"

I smiled and managed to brush a few strands of hair from her face. "You can live without me." I whispered, "And if I do come back…I'll make sure to have married you."
She nodded her head. "I'll wait."
She smiled and then my vision went black. I could hear her calling my name but I couldn't respond. I just went into a blank sleep which nothing was around me except darkness…I was literally alone.
