Chapter 5: I Remember You
After Mikan fainted Natsume carried her to her house (their meeting place at the moment, sorry for not mentioning) he laid her down.
Meanwhile Mikan drifted to dream world and the dream began:
"I was walking down a street in Tokyo to see Hotaru, I saw a man who looked like a girl and mistaken him to be one and his name is Narumi we were talking when an explosion came in sight revealing a boy with a cat mask and Narumi introduced him as Hyuuga Natsume a fire user, Narumi whipped him, I ran to him and asked him if he's alright, he just glare at me by revealing his ruby coloured eyes. That's our first encounter"
Mikan began waking up, "hmmm..." Mikan woke up she saw the one who's watching over her the entire time, "Na-Tsu-Me" She said slowly, Natsume was shocked, "How did you know my name?"
Mikan sat up "You're Hyuuga Natsume, a fire user, right?" Mikan said' "Yes."Natsume replied. "Can you tell me what my relationship to you is?" Natsume nodded, "well, you're my fiancée" Mikan blushed at this while Natsume covered his face with his long bangs. "I proposed to you secretly 2 years ago, we made it official at last year's Christmas" He continued
Another headache surrounds Mikan but this time only memories rushed in.
"I get into a fight with him always because of his cold attitude. I became his slave for the school festival, he became my partner for the Christmas ball, and he stole my first kiss on the same day. He helped me find my mom. That's right her name is Azumi Yuka, she was just 16 when she had me. My dad, he died before I was born, but I met him in his timeline and first and last time I called him dad, his name is Yukihira Izumi."
The headache subsided, "You" A menacing aura came out of Mikan, "You stole my first kiss, jerk!" Mikan screamed, Natsume being indifferent. "Yeah so? I kissed you multiple times in the past. God Sometimes I regret going here" he said half-heartedly.
Mikan gained another headache but this time is stronger and she fainted instantly.
"It's Christmas, I'm lonely everyone's not here especially him. Is he searching for me? I told him not to strain himself too much he-he might die, but he found me on that Christmas day at my labyrinth mansion, the time that I was longing for him too much. He proposed marriage to me by his special stone that he forged out of his power. But after I got out of that mansion after Christmas, I found him, I took the last amount of my power to save him but that wasn't enough, he died in my arms."
Mikan woke up and found strains of tears on her face. She found Natsume asleep and noticed it's dark, she began to cry softly. Natsume heard her soft sob and woke up, he hugged her tightly "I remember everything, about you, the academy, all of it." Mikan said while crying. "But why did you died? Why did you leave me?" Natsume tighten his hug, "I'm so sorry Mikan" He was tearing up, "so sorry, I left you, Mikan." He continued to tear up. Then Mikan's parents appeared before them.
"Mikan, you're well, aren't you" Yuka said with a smile. "I have watched over you Mikan, I'm sorry I died before I could hold you" Izumi said to his one and only daughter "Take care of her, Hyuuga -Kun" Izumi said to the boy. "But I already died." They shook their heads, "No, young one, you didn't die, you just went to comatose state, your heart stopped for one day (hey how's that possible?)" Mikan hugged Natsume tighter as her parents disappeared, out of joy she smiled. Natsume was happy to see her smile and he kissed her.
