Chapter 3: HOPE

Natsume just left there on his position looking at his surroundings. This is the first time he entered this mall ever since the accident 2 years ago.

Suddenly his eyes caught a Auburn haired girl standing across the other lane of the mall. His eyes showed recognition even he does not have a better view of her face the ring of hope started growing inside him. He can feel his heart pounding against his chest as he watched her run. Natsume's reflexes started to cooperate with him. He run…his going to chase her… "Mikan! Wait MIKAN!" Natsume shouted as he tried to get the certain brunette attention but there is no use. She kept on walking and running away from him. Until the crowd of people hides her from his view, he still not stops from running after her.

"Mikan?! MIKAN! WAIT!"

From the crowd Mikan's looking at the man in suit in her point of view the man is handsome. Having a raven hair a pale skin face…and his clothes suit's him. "Mikan? Is he looking for his girl friend…too bad for him…" Natsume thought as she looks at the distress Natsume. Suddenly Mikan's phone ring.

She answered it. "Hello Sei…"

"Ai… Where are you? Did you already submit the portrait? Ruka asked from the other line.

Mikan nodded. "Yep…I already submit it…ok…I'll go home now…ok…bye…" She said as she hung up the phone. Mikan turned to look at Natsume one last time before deciding to walk away.

(A/N: Mikan still don't have a clue whose Natsume is…she heard him shouting Mikan but she does not turned her back on him because she think it's the other girl he called. So he just ignored him and went straight away.)

The three men in suits approached Natsume

"Natsume-sama…"

"Did all of you saw a girl with a brown hair? Huh TELL ME!" Natsume said desperately panting from his running.

They shook his head. "No sir..."

"DAMN IT!" Natsume cursed aloud making the bystanders look at him. "Check all the CCTV'S I want to see all of it now!…" Natsume commanded angrily as he entered the mall once again.

"I know that's you Mikan…please help me to find you…"

At Natsume's office.

Natsume's hands on his forehead massaging it gently while he listens to Yukiaio scolding him to death. "Natsume-oneechan are you even listening…" Yukiaio said in irritated tone.

Natsume spared her a glance before looking at the pile of the paper works on his desk. "Yeah I'm listening." Natsume said emotionlessly.

"Then what's the news I learned from your body guards? And what about you are ordering them to show you all the CCTV camera videos of our mall!" Yukiaio said

Natsume turned to look at Aio. "I saw her Yukiaio…I saw her…she is here…she is alive…"

Aio inhaled deeply. "Then you admit it already…always her! Always Mikan…when will you accept the fact that she is dead…for god sakes Natsume it's been two fucking years and yet you're not still over her." Yukiaio shouted

Natsume glared at Aio. "She's not dead I saw her! And I'll prove to you that she's alive!" Natsume said as he wears his coat. "Where you going Natsume-oneechan?!

"Out here…out of the annoying people…" Natsume said as he walks out of the room.

"Hey Natsume come back here! Natsume! You're so stubborn." Aio said as she massaged the bridge of her nose.

"Hey Natsume…" Koko called

Natsume snarled. "What!" his not on the mood to talk to anyone right now.

"Well Natsume I want you to look at this…"Koko said as he showed the portrait to Natsume.

At this time Natsume's eyes widen. "The girl…in this portrait…no way…"

Koko smirk. "I told you…you really need to look at this."

"The girl drawn at the portrait is looks like Mikan…" Natsume gripped the board of the portrait.

"The HR said the creator of the painting is Seichi Tamaki…this is his application form…" Koko said as he tried to give the form to Natsume but it seems like his not listening to him.

"When I saw the portrait I really want to show you this…and…" Koko is cut-off when Natsume talk.

"Call the HR I want you to let the creator of this painting win…" Natsume ordered

"Huh…but Natsume…hey!" Koko said surprised he does not expect this.

"Just let him win…ok…it's that clear Koko." Natsume said dangerously

"O—key…I'll let him win…"

Natsume gripping the portrait and he almost crushed the wooden plate in his hands. "I need to see her maybe he knows where is she..."

SHOP

Mikan's and Hotaru's Clothes shop.

"What are you saying again Ai?" Hotaru said as she turned to look at her best friend they were currently arranging all the things inside their store.

Mikan leaned at the counter. "As what I've saying I saw a guy…his shouting and looking for a girl back there at the mall…you know what when I saw the guy I felt like his in pain…it's showing on his face. He really wants to look for that girl." She said as she looks at the ceiling.

Hotaru smirk. "The way you said that Ai I can feel that you really care about that guy…"

Mikan smiled. "Hotaru-chan why would I care about that guy? I don't even know him…what just I saying is it was like…I felt pity on him…his shouting her name that it seems like she's his life…he does not care whenever the other people gave him a weird look." Mikan continued. "Well maybe they've just currently breaking up when you saw him and he tried to chase after her but he never made it." Hotaru added.

"Hmm…maybe…ah let's go now Hotaru… Sei wants me to have dinner with him." Mikan said as she picked up all of her things. Hotaru smiled.

"Ok…just go ahead I'll just close the shop alone…"

Mikan looked at her in worry. "Are you sure you can close the shop alone?"

Hotaru smiled as she pushed her lightly. "Don't worry Ai I can take care of myself…"

Mikan smiled back. "Ok…see you tomorrow…"

Hotaru nodded. "Ok see you…take care…"

HOUSE

"Hmm…that food smells good what's the occasion Ruka?" Mr. Nogi asked his son.

Ruka glared. "Father…don't call me Ruka if Mikan is around ok…"

Mr. Nogi cocked his eyebrows. "Sorry I forgot 'Seichi'…"

"Hey Tadaima!" Mikan said as she entered the house. "Hmm…that smells good."

"I'm glad you're back early…" Ruka said as he kisses her cheeks.

"I promised to you that I'll be back early right? So, I am here to be with you." Mikan said hugging Ruka.

"Ok…ok…let's eat now…"

Suddenly the landline ringed. "Uh…don't worry I'll answer it…"

"Hello? Yeah this is Tamaki residence…Seichi? REALLY! Oh my god…I'll tell him right away…thank you sir…bye…" Mikan said as she hung up the phone.

Mikan smiled widely at Ruka. "What's with the happy face…" Ruka asked

"Yeah what's the good news?" Mr. Nogi added.

"YOU WON Seichi! You won the prize! And ITC said you need to go at ITC amusement park to talk about your prize and about the mural that they want you to do." Mikan said happily.

"Well that's good news…congratulations son…"

Ruka just turned serious. "Sei…what's with the serious face? You won the contest..." Mikan said sweetly.

Ruka turned to look at Mikan. "I am happy…"

With Natsume

"So everything's ok?" Natsume asked as Koko hung up the phone.

Koko smiled. "Yeah…I already tell them the good news."

"Thank you Koko…I can really count on you…"

Koko scoffed. "Obviously because I am your friend."

Natsume smiled to himself. There is a ring of hope growing inside him...

"Tomorrow will be his one lucky day…"
