Keep Your Heart Broken
Chapter 7 Fiery Confrontations
There they were once more alone in the darkness, Natsume and Mikan, his hateful eyes watching her forcefully. His back against the wall and his scornful crimson orbs staring right at her, even through his frightening gaze still emitted a passionate radiance.
While she on the other hand, sat across the fearsome black cat, her head turned but stealing glances of the other every once in a while. She had not realized how much he has changed after four years. His figure has grown more mature, more muscular, fit for his character. His crimson eyes now held the same intensity as the sun, she could not help but look away in fear that she might get burn if she continued any longer.
She then noticed his ragged breathing, making her recall the times of their first meeting, during when he would always end up unconscious on the ground, remembering his angelic face caused a small giggle from the young girl.
The man across the room eyed the brunette in front of him, her giggling voice irking his very vein and at the same time making him curious as to what the cause of her sudden happiness in this situation.
"What's so funny little girl?" he asked, trying not to show his real intentions.
"Nothing." She replied after another giggle.
"Whatever." He replied back with a distasteful look.
After a brief silence, Mikan's startling question almost shook their place of entrapment.
"Natsume?" She started, not receiving any reply continued. "What happened to you?"
Days pass by like the wind
And this life is too short
"Hotaru what are we going to do it's already been an hour?!" A blonde boy frantically asked the raven haired girl beside him.
"I don't know." Hotaru stated casually, too casually for the blonde's liking.
His blue orbs stared curiously at the other's violet ones searching for any spark of wicked ingenuity. After a few more minutes he found it, that small light of life in her dead-like orbs.
"You planned this didn't you?" He asked fearing for the worse.
No reply.
"You did, didn't you?" he stared at the seemingly apathetic girl, now fearing for the two victims more than ever. Then he received a small smirk as a reply.
"Oh Hotaru you endangered their lives for your own twisted reasons, don't you know what dangers could happen to them?" He exclaimed half shouting , clearly very worried for the of his two friends and the one beside him.
No reply again.
He turned around trying to catch his breath and calm himself down. With one last breath, he turned around and saw no face nor hair of Hotaru.
"What could you be planning?" he whispered to no one.
It makes no sense to give in
To release you from my thoughts
Mikan Sakura, casually walked through the halls just as she was used too, sometimes greeting everyone she passed when felt like it, but there was one thing she didn't quite looked forward to this morning...it was Him.
She turned to a corner fully aware of her surroundings, but still got caught off guard by the very same man she was trying to run away from. It was a saturday, she didn't expect to see him..but now...he was on top of her...and still won't get off.
"What happened to me? Oh nothing just had the best four years of my life." Natsume replied sarcastically. Mikan just watched him, not a bit suprised of his sarcastic remark.
"So what did happen?" She asked again, not satisfied of his answer.
"Nothing you'll be concerned with." He answered back.
After a brief silence, Mikan tried to get him off but failed to do so.
"Hyuuga, get off!" she demanded.
He just stared.
She kept fussin, yet he just layed still and stared at her.
"Mikan..."
"Natsume...I'm sorry."
"...your wearing strawberries today." With a small smirk he got off.
She quickly stood up and without another thought slapped the boy in front of him. She stared at the her shaking hand, and turned around when suddenly...
"What for?" he asked still not looking.
"I don't know." she replied, giving him a small smile.
...all the tiles dissappeared and they just found themselves in a dark place of entrapment.
"Stop smiling..." He spat at her. She stared back, unknown of his sudden anger.
He stared at her, his eyes softened.
You said you would crawl in the dark from the laughter
You said you would long after me ever after.
"Please stop smiling...just stop it if you don't mean it." He whispered to himself but still loud enough to reach her ears.
Mikan stood up, slowly walked to the forlorn teen and tried to comfort him.
"Don't touch me!" He exclaimed as he slapped her hand away. His eyes cold once more.
He stared at her. His red fiery eyes boring into hers.
"Look if that Andou---If you didn't flirt with that Andou, I wouldn't be here, Ruka would be here with you not me or him! If you--If you didn't fall in love with that stupid boy friend of yours---" He exclaimed, putting all his anger on the naive girl.
"You---" He started but was unable to continue when a small firm hand hit his cheek.
He stared at the shorter teen in front of him. Her bangs covering her eyes, her figure as still as a rock, and time stopped once more.
"I never said I love him..."
with that time moved again,nobody noticed, they didn't care...cause what she said was enough.
She didn't really love him.
