I just wanna thank crazyandproud344!! Now...on with the story

Chapter 5:My newfound bestfriend!

After the restaurant, They went outside to roam around. Then a sweet aroma filled Mikan and Michika's nose.

"What's that sweet smell?" Michika and Mikan asked the same time.

"That's Howalon" Ruka calmly explained.

"Howalon? Oh, Fluff Puffs!" Michika said. Everyone nodded but when they stopped to look at the two amazed girls, they're gone only to fin them infront of the Howalon store.

"How much is a box of howalon?" Mikan asked while the vendor answered "10 rabbits small, 30 rabbits medium 65 rabbits large and 100 rabbits for Jumbo"

"I want Jumbo Mich!" Mikan said happily persuading Michika.

"But Mikan, you're meal earlier costs 100 rabbits already and I have 250 rabbits left. Can we just take 2 medium boxes?"Michika explained while Mikan sighed. Indeed she has already debts for Michika. "Okay...Atleast it's not small" Mikan said.

"Oh! Do you want small?" Michika asked a little happy because she was going to able to save 40 more rabbits but Mikan hurriedly shook her head which means no.Michika sighed and took 40 rabbits out of her wallet. But somebody held her hand which means stop.

Michika saw Luca hold her hand which caused her to blush. Luca then got out some money. Michika blushed more.

"Hey Mikan! You like a jumbo box right?" Luca said to Mikan as Mikan smiled and nodded.

"Hey, A jumbo box please?" Luca said to the vendor as he held out 100 rabbits and gave the box of Howalons to Mikan completely not noticing the broken hearted Michika. Michika just decided to sit thown at the bench. Natsume noticed this and headed to the Howalon store.

Michika sat on the bench controlling herself from crying. 'Hey, why are you crying? Snap out! The others might see you! So, what if Luca bought Mikan a Jumbo box of Howalon and...completely...ignore...me...Oh stop being so emotional Michika! He's jsut an acquaintance! A companion! a friend! A classmate! Nothing...more' Michika thought while she suddenly smelled the scent of the sweet Howalon.

She looked up to see Natsume holding a jumbo box of Howalon. Michika could only stare. A little while later, she smiled. "Arigatou Natsume kun" Natsume blushed but managed to hide it.

"Sit down" Michika said tapping the seat available beside her which Natsume obeyed.

"Wh-Why did you buy me some?" Michika asked while munching a Howalon.Natsume was out of words. "Hey if you can't answer it in english, Feel free to say it in Japanese, I might understand it" Michika said as she smiled.

"Daisuki...I..you..err..just felt like it" Natsume managed to say as Michika smiled. "Thanks! Here have some" Michika offered a Howalon in her hands, Natsume was about to grab it when someone tug his sleeves.

"Natsume!! Do you want some Howalon? Luca bought me a jumbo box!!" Mikan ahppily said as she continued to tug his sleeves.

"Tch, Let go of me baka" Natsume said which made Mikan stop. "Ne, What's baka?" Mikan asked confused. "Baka means idiot" Hotaru said nearing them. "Oh! But I'm not a baka Natsume!" Mikan defended herself while tugging his sleeves again.

"I already told you to stay away from Natsume sama right?! You broke another rule which is rule#302: Never ever ruin Natsume sama's clothes ,rule#311: Never ever shout at Natsume sama's face!" Sumire said popping out from nowhere.

"You have no control in Natsume!" Mikan defended herself. Sumire was fuming. Koko popped out from nowhere and held Sumire's arms preventing her to choke Mikan.

"Let go! Koko let go! Oooh, I'm going to choke this girl!" Sumire said struggling free from Koko's grasp but Koko wouldn't budge and he only laughed.

"Stop that Permy! Your nails will be ruined!" Koko said which made Sumire stop. "Yeah I guess so, and that's bad and embarrasing for Natsume sama, I'll be back Sakura!" Sumire said as she went to a salon.

"Thanks, Koko? Is it Koko?" Mikan asked while shaking hands with Koko.

"Yes it is, Sumire is so angry, Just a suggestion, don't let Sumire caught you flirting with Natsume kun" Koko said.

"Flirting?" asked a very dense Mikan.

"You know...it is(whisper whisper whisper)" Koko whispered to Mikan.

"Wow, I guess Koko and Mikan get along very well" Michika said while munching another Howalon.

"You can say that again" Hotaru said.

"NO WAY!!" Mikan shouted.

"Yes that's it! The true meaning of flirting"Koko said. "But I'm not seducing Natsume!!" Mikan suddenly shouted. Michika, Natsume, Ruka, Hotaru, Luca and Luna twitched their eyebrows.

"Idiot, I never said seducing i said (whisper whisper whisper)" Koko once again whispered.

"But I'm not showing off!!" Mikan shouted, now they're foot twitched.

"YOU ARE AN IDIOT!" Koko shouted while laughing. A vein popped out from Mikan's head. "THEN WHY CAN'T YOU JUST EXPLAIN IT CLEARLY?!" Mikan shouted.

"What were you explaining anyways Koko?!" Luca shouted. "I said that Flirting is something that flirts with the opposite sex!" Koko said. They fell down anime style.

"How can Mikan understand what you are explaining when you are explaining nonsense? I mean, you used the word Flirt again!" Luna said. Koko sweatdropped realizing he did. "Oh yeah" "BAKA" was the other's reply excluding Mikan.

"Hey Mikan, Wanna roam around Central town?" Luca asked.

"But we are silly!" Mikan said with a point. "Idiot" Luna mumbled which made Luca pop a vein from his head.

"Nee chan!!" Luca shouted as he transferred Luna's soul to a flower.

"Luca get me back to my body!" said the flower a.k.a. Luna.

"Tch, you made me do that again!"Luca said as he transferred Luna's soul back to her body.

"Never do that again Luca or you'll face my alice's wrath!" Luna warned. When they looked at Mikan and Koko, they were already gone.

"Where are they?" Michika asked amazed.

"Look there at the jewelry store" Ruka said as he pointed to the jewelry store where Mikan and Koko entered.

AT KOKO AND MIKAN

"Who are you gonna buy a locket for?" Mikan asked. "Anna" was Koko's reply. "Anna?" Mikan asked. "You know, the pink haired girl who loves to cook." Koko said. Mikan shook her head saying no.

"And who are you buying for?" Koko asked Mikan. "Well, I would like to buy Natsume some of those black catbands, I mean it opens and closes it's eyes revealing it's crimson orbs like Natsume! But I'm broke" Mikan sighed sadly. "I'll share you some money, besides i think it isn't that expensive." Koko said as they neared the catbands looking at it's price.

"19 rabbits not bad. Here" Koko said giving 19 rabbits to Mikan. Mikan thanked Koko three times while she payed for the catband.

"Thanks Koko! How can I repay you?" Mikan asked while Koko answered "Help me find a Locket for Anna" "Okay!" Mikan happily said.

Mikan then dashed around the store much to Koko's surprise. After 5 seconds, Mikan came back with so many lockets in her hand.

MEANWHILE AT THE OTHERS

"Well, Nevermind following them, I suddenly want crab brains. Ruka let's go" Hotaru said as she dragged Ruka to a seafood stall.

"Luca was going to follow Mikan much to Michika's dismay. But suddenly, Luna grabbed Luca's collar saying "Oh no you don't Luca! You still have a foot massage sesion with me! You're gonna massage my feet no matter what!" Luna said which made Luca sigh and wanting to transfer her soul in buddha statue.

"I suddenly want to buy some clothes, but no one's around but you Natsume kun, Uhh, can you accompany me to the Clothes shop?" Michika asked Natsume. Natsume could only nod as Michika finished her last howalon and kept the box since it was cute and it might be of use.

BACK AT MIKAN AT KOKO

"You're fast Mikan!" Koko said wide eyed. "Fashion is my specialty Koko! Look at these" Mikan said as she showed the lockets.

"This cokkie looking locket with different colored diamonds as choco kisses with it is cute. It matches her alice. Thanks Mikan!" Koko said.

"No problem at all Koko!" Mikan said as they shared a friendly hug. "Koko, I'm just curious, Is Sumire that overprotective of Natsume that she had made so many rules in her fanclub?Not to mention, she didn't even let me join"Mikan said as she pouted.

"Ah yes, Sumire is indeed loyal to her position in the NatsumeRuka fansclub." Koko said while paying for the locket.

"Hmm, Why don't you have a fanclub?" Mikan asked.

"Me? Fanclub? I would love to if I had one ya know! But no, I don't sorry me." Koko said as he smiled. "That silly bestfriend of mine doesn't want me to be part of the Natsume Ruka fanclub. She said it's irritating in the ears if it is NatsumeRukaKoko fanclub" Koko said as they both laughed.

"Wow! I said too much, You're easy to be with Mikan chan!!"Koko said.

"Thanks! Oh yeah you mean YOU'RE SUMIRE'S BESTFRIEND?!" Mikan shouted in realization. "Yep!" Was Koko's reply.

AT MICHIKA AND NATSUME.

"How about this one?" Michika came out of the dressing room wearing a blue backless and pink khaki pants. "Too colorful" was Natsume's reply. Michika looked at the mirror and noticed it was indeed too colorful.

Then the 'magic'dressing room changed Michika's outfit again. The doors opened revealing Michika in a yellow sando with a white tube top and a jag skinny jeans. "How about this one?"

"Too...irritating" was Natsume's reply.

Michika sighed as the doors closed changing Michika's clothes again. Now it's a one strap pink tshirt with a lavender tube inside. Then it's partnered with a maong miniskirt with a violet ribbon as a belt. She was wearing purple shimmering stockings and her rubbershoes.

"How about this one?" Michika asked. Natsume was amazed.

"Better" was Natsume's reply. Michika smiled as her clothes changed back to her original clothes as she buyed the set of clothes they picked.

"Ne, Natsume kun, Thanks for helping me!" Michika said smiling.

"Nandemonai" was all Natsume could say. "Natsume I, I..."

BACK AT MIKAN AND KOKO

"Where are they?" Mikan asked.

"No idea" was Koko's reply. "Hey Koko my new BFF! Let's find them!" Mikan said to her newest bestfriend. (a/n: she didn't change Hotaru and the others m'kay?? Just another one)

"Okay!" was Koko's reply as they searched around Central town.

AFTER A WHILE THEY FINALLY FOUND...HOTARU AND RUKA

"Hotaru chan, You're eating crab brains again?" Mikan asked as Mikan, Koko and Ruka sweatdropped.

"Don't bother me" was All Hotaru said stil munching her crab brains.

"Okay, Stay here, We're going to look for the others." Koko said as he and Mikan continued to look for the others.
