She dreamed that she and Natsume was in a dark room, he saw Natsume with many bruises all over his body, he was coughing blood until his vision blurred and passed out. She was taken by a mask man with black cloak. Asking for help to Natsume but at the same worried.
Oblivious to her, A masked who was Mikan thought was a ghost, smiled behind the mask he was wearing.
All went well except the fact that Mikan wasn't able to sleep.
Chapter 5: New Teacher
It has been two weeks had passed since the condition of Natsume was made. Mikan wasn't used to the fact that she was still sleeping with Natsume, Mikan and Natsume knew very well that sleeping in guy's room is strictly prohibited. Mikan always sneaked at night just to sleep in Natsume's room since it was one of the things she has to complete, to be able to sleep in Natsume's. She doesn't want to let others know that she was in this situation or else she will be dead because of Natsume's fan girls and school policy.
Mikan woke up at 10:30 am in Natsume's room. She saw Natsume walking to the room shirtless and only with his towel wrapped in his trunk.
"Kyaaaaa-! What are you doing?" Natsume look at her while raising his eyebrows to Mikan who screamed.
"What else do you think?" Mikan was horrified and look at the opposite direction.
Meanwhile, Natsume threw a towel on Mikan's face and said, "Would you mind to clean yourself? We still have class." Mikan looked at the alarm clock. She was puzzled when the the hands of the clock is in acute angle downwards which reads as 6:35. She only have 25 minutes left to fix herself.
"Natsume! Why didn't you wake me up as early as possible?" Mikan cried at Natsume but he just ignored her and remove his towel. Mikan was embarrassed seeing Natsume only with his boxers, Mikan walked passed him and went to his shower room. After taking the shower, she got out of the room only clad only with Natsume's bathrobe. He saw Natsume who was savoring his breakfast. Natsume saw her and asked her, "Do you have your uniform in my room?" Mikan was puzzled to his question then she looked at him, "No!" she cried.
"Can you please get my uniform?" Mikan plead as she shown her pleading face together her index fingers meeting each other. The surrounding seems ungleeful to her.
"No." He retorted to her. Mikan bursts into tears.
"Please Natsume!" She begged to him keeping her tears falling so Natsume will fall on her act.
"Don't fool me, Strawberry Prints. I know you are just acting." He smirked keeping his composure.
"Crap!" She thought as she kept her acting better. "Natsume, Please, I'm begging you. I really need it. As in right at this moment or do you want me to go in the room, wearing only this." She pleaded seductively as she removed the bathrobe which Natsume had given to her, exposing her cup B pink with black and white polka dotted strapless lacy bra which matches to her underwear with the same design.
Natsume was surprised to Mikan's action as he deliberately said, "Fine!"
Mikan was so happy to his reply. She unconsciously hugged Natsume only making him blushed 10 shades of red but, Mikan wasn't able to see it since her right cheek was touching his left cheek.
"Since when did you become too revealing, Polka?" He said with a smirk. He pushed her away from her and added, "I like it. From now on, do it every morning."
"Whaaaa! Natsume, you perverted monster!" She shouted even though their distance is 12 inches.
"You will do it or wear nothing?" He mocked at her knowing her answer.
"Fine, just get my uniform! By the way, Natsume, when did you become interested in going to class?" She asked curiously.
"It's none of your business." Natsume said as he went out of the room to get Polka's uniform.
Mikan was able to fix herself within 25 minutes but, she was really late. Natsume, on the other hand, doesn't care if he is late or not. He only cares about the announcement he saw in the bulletin board while he was going back to his Special Star Room.
"Natsume?" Mikan called his name but he replied to her with a hum.
"We are late, can we go faster?" She asked while jogging, readying herself to run.
"I don't care, run if you want." He answered bluntly. Mikan ran as fast she as she can leaving Natsume behind. She was running so hard that she didn't even mind her surroundings, until she bumped to a hooded man wearing a concave shaped silver-gray mask and a four piercings in his left ear and three dangling in his right ear.
"He looks familiar to me," she thought to herself then, she remembered that she had to excuse and apologize herself since she was late and bumped him accidentally but, Mikan suspected that he was a lady so she apologized beaming with her cheerful smile while scratching her head, "I'm sorry Ma'am for bumping you and Excuse me, I have to go. Maybe, see you soon Ma'am."
"No problem and -" He wasn't able to finish his sentence. Mikan had ran away from her spot and the hooded man commented, "Still the same, Little girl, huh?"
Mikan arrived to the room before her name was called in the attendance sheet which Narumi was handling. She was panting really hard. Holding her breath, clutching her chest with her right hand while left hand was touching the edge of the doorway.
Hotaru Imai? A boom sound was heard which meant that she was present!
Sakura Mikan? "Pe- P- Pre- Present." She finally answered breathing heavily. She scanned the room if Natsume have arrived already. She could still remember that she was running all alone and she left Natsume behind.
The side of her eye spotted him seating at the back peacefully as if he wasn't in hurry but something has boggled on head. She don't know, How did Natsume arrive earlier than her when she ran and left him behind on the spot.
She stop questioning and told herself that she'll ask him once she got on her seat. She walked through the isle and went to her seat beside her partner, Natsume.
She tugged down Natsume's sleeve up and down. Meanwhile, Natsume who was busy reading his manga look at her at side of his view. "What do you need?" He whispered.
"How did you get in here?" She asked curiously.
"How? Through the door." He answered and he returned again to what he is reading.
"I mean how come you in here as fast as much as I do?" She asked him desperately. Stomping her foot quietly under the desk.
"Shortcuts. Don't ask me now, I'm busy." He told the brunette. Mikan looked at him wide eye surprise and furious. She was stunned and wasn't able to talk for a second. Suddenly, a voice was heard.
"Sakura Mikan, Please pay attention." She looked in the front to see who was talking to her, surprisingly, it was his favorite sensei, Narumi. He has a sad facade in his face and so she decided to listen forgetting what she and Natsume was talking about.
"Since, All of you are now listening to me, I want to start all over again," Narumi stated and started his introduction again with a cheerful smile. "Hello everyone! You have a new teacher or maybe he's coming back as your renew teacher!" Narumi wailed and smiled. Natsume's hand clenched into fist. Anger and hatred engulfed him.
The temperature in the room rose abruptly. Everyone turned their gazed to the fire caster since he is the only one who can do it. They questioned themselves if the new teacher was related with Natsume.
"Natsume? What's wrong?" Mikan asked him worriedly. Natsume didn't answer and instead, he walked out of the room. Mikan yelled at him to stop him but the new teacher told her that let him be, he might be surprise to my sudden appearance. That is the time when Mikan recognized his voice. Natsume, halted his step when he heard the new teacher's comment. "It's not so him." He thought to himself. He decided to stay but he did not allow himself to walk back inside the room. Instead, he stayed outside and leaned his back at the wall of the room.
"Persona?" Mikan looked at front and saw the hooded man which she mistook as a lady.
"Yes, I am." Mikan ran towards him and hugged him like he did not do something to make her and Natsume suffer.
The room was awed and surprised. How come Mikan has so much liking to Persona after his evil doings to her. Mikan knew that this would happen so she released her hug with Persona and stood in front and said, "Few years ago, Persona, made a mistake and he felt sorry already. He helped me during the escape, way back then. Let's forgive him, he apologize already for the things he made and to compensate with that, he even stop working in the academy. As much as he wanted to stay in here, he decided to go out of the academy and be renewed again." she beamed a smile as Persona looked at her in befuddlement, surprise to her opinion. He was touched to her words.
"Just like Mikan said, I am deeply sorry. I came back here to teach and not to hurt. To tell you all the truth, I was just manipulated by Kuonji since I was a child. I wanted to become a teacher and fulfill the same dream as Mikan's father had with me in our time. I hope for your forgiveness." Persona said as he shown his thin lip curve into a convex shape.
No one utter a word. They didn't expect that Persona will be such a good person really. He was just manipulated, nonetheless, all he did before was because, he was brainwashed by the Kuonji. They didn't know what to say. Even Natsume who was eavesdropping couldn't believe that Persona tried to help them. It seems that he still can't forget he did to them, to his family, friends and Mikan.
Natsume walked out and left, deciding that he won't stay and listen anymore. He went to the Sakura Tree, he stayed and read his shounen manga.
"It seems that you all are now informed who was your new teacher, It's time for us to leave! Free time for today!" Narumi announced, he left together with Serio/Persona. The students became in chaos meanwhile, Mikan looked for Natsume. When she spotted a figure in the Sakura Tree. She went there as she was suspecting that the figure she saw was Natsume. She halted on her pace when she saw another figure came down from the branch of the tree. She was shocked and her lips curve in grotesque shape as she saw the man, grab Natsume by the collar.
"What are you doing here and What do you need?" Natsume asked the man.
"I'll reveal it soon, but not now, Natsume." The man said, "Anyway, Please help me on doing something Natsume." The man said grabbing his collar. Natsume swagged his hand which cause him to fall downwards.
"Tch." was all his reply. "I'm expecting you, it's for our own good." the man told him as he vanished.
To be continued...
-Sigh- I'm writing three stories in one time so please bear with my inertia movements in writing. My mind is getting boggled. Anyway, I would like to thank to those who review/muses/booster. On the next chapter, I will mention the names those who continuously review and favorited/followed/reviewed my story.
I apologize again for making this short than the previous chapter.
Sneak Peak Line: "Why is he not in his room?" She said in a worried tone.
Summary:The new teacher was Rei Serio/Persona. Mikan defended Persona as he met the class. Natsume's anger to Persona had never cease. Natsume had a talked to a man asking for his help and telling him it is for their own good.
