Forest

Mikan found herself in the forest
she was lying in the ground and for some reason she can't move.
she looked at her watch - 2:00- she's got 2 hours left

She forced herself to get up and managed to lean her back on a tree trunk
She inserted her hand to her pocket trying to find the teleportation stone
" I guess that's enough for today" and was shocked to know that the stone isn't in it.

"waah" Mikan nervously searched for the stone on her pockets but to no avail. She stood up
and searched for it on the ground when she heard something bark.

BARK BARK

Mikan froze when she saw what was barking. It was a wolf, so big it appeared almost like
a bear.

"Now now doggie" Mikan desperately pleaded

"eh, what do you want?" Mikan though to herself
" ahh I know!" she proudly thought, she then took a branch and threw it towards the wolf
"you wanna play fetch huh!" she said

(The move made by Mikan was so stupid that even the wolf had a "duh" face)

The wolf is now approaching her, it's large teeth showing viciously. Mikan started to panic
and took two, three steps backwards. The wolf got faster and Mikan
tried to run - but it was too late, for the wolf already jumped towards her , Mikan didn't know what to do so
she just ducked and cover her head, she was on the verge of shouting when...

"shishi" a voice called out

And in a snap the wolf left Mikan alone and went to the voice that called out to it. Mikan
heard it make loving groans, like the sound a dog makes when it's beside it's owner.

" I see that you're still as stupid"

Mikan widened her eyes. "That voice... it's so familiar.."

" SO stupid you even decided to wear that ugly print you used to have on your underwear"

"Natsume!" mikan panickly thought, She tried to get up and run but

" Don't even think about it. You know you can't run away now"

"He's right" Mikan thought. Her watch was beeping continuously, as if her panic transferred to it
she looked at it, an hour was already taken out.

she decided to face the person talking to her, and saw him.

Natsume- he's wearing an all black outfit, he had on a black tie. He got much taller, he still had the
raven hair he's known about and his eyes, she thought, still red... and deep.. he looked
..handsome? Mikan felt something tug inside her but she doesn't know what

"You were so loud earlier and now you can't even manage to speak. Who do you
think you are? Coming back so sudden after doing what you did. What reason do you have
baka?" natsume's tone getting stronger and serious

BEEP BEEP BEEP , 30 minutes left

Mikan didn't know what made her do it, but she still did it anyway.

She removed her mask, and revealed her face

"natsume"

"I see that you already have a pet, I could only imagine...

"stop talking normal to me!" Natsume shouted, his face, pure anger

Looking at him made Mikan cry.
Her tears poured non stop now. Why? is it because she's tired with all the happenings?
Is it because of his anger? The feeling of not knowing what the reason is? or is it because she just misses them too much..

Mikan didn't mind her thoughts, she walked towards natsume, not caring if he will burn her to crisp or not.
The watch is now beeping violently, She's getting nearer and nearer, it felt like an eternity.

Natsume remained still, "don't" he ordered

but it was too late, Mikan is now only a meter far

" Baka, you're still pushing me away, after all this years." she asked with a hint of amusement
" To be honest, I don't really know what I've done, but seeing your angry face tells me that It was bad" Mikan calmly said. sadness in her voice.
" I lost my memories of you for 3 years. And when I drank the memory pills to make me remember, its like watching another
person's life. like watching a movie, I felt as if it's not me"

Mikan went closer, which made them inches apart. She raised her hand.

Natsume upon seeing it, turned her costume on fire, in the hopes of stopping what Mikan
is trying to do

But she didn't mind, She doesn't care anymore. For her, what she's doing is worth.. even her life...

Mikan cupped Natsume's cheek. SHe felt the warmth, which made her cry even more

"But seeing you baka, It made me angry again, which is good, for it let me feel the emotions I had before. When I was still
with you guys"

she managed to let out a small smile

"I didn't expect to say this, but I will still say it anyway" Mikan's now feeling some of her skin burning from the
costume's blaze

"I miss everyone... and I miss you.. Natsume" and with that final word Mikan disappeared, back to her house in Nara
back to her quiet room.
