Summary: They've been best friends since they were kids. They vowed at each other that they will always be best friends forever. Yes, forever.

Chapter Eight

It was past one in the morning already but Mikan can feel someone else is inside her room. The lights were out already because someone just turned it off and she's getting scared. Who could that be? A bad guy? Oh, God, Mikan hopes it's just her imagination. Awhile ago, she heard her window open. Maybe it was just a dream yet again? Mikan took a peek (her head was covered with the blanket) and looked at the window then she shut her eyes. Oh no. The window is open and she just saw the curtains swaying with the wind. No wonder it was getting cold. Mikan shivered. Ghosts... Ghosts... Noooo! They're just her imagination!

She opened her eyes and took a peek again. A person is there! Mikan gulped. When she took a peek again, she saw its eyes. Wah! It's glowing CRIMSON! And it's like it's looking directly at her "sleeping" figure. Mikan blinked... Wait. Crimson? She gathered up her courage and sat up, rubbing her eyes.

The figure saw it and was about to jump out the window when Mikan caught the sleeve. She stood up and went in front of him.

"Natsume..." She whispered. (Song background: Best Friends Forever by KSM :] )

It really was him...

Natsume stopped but he didn't look at Mikan.

"W-what are you doing here?" Mikan whispered, her sight started to blur.

He didn't respond.

"Natsume..." Mikan sniffed. "Y-you actually came..."

Natsume didn't answer.

Mikan placed her hands on his shoulders and shook him. "Look at me, Natsume! Answer me!" She started crying. "You don't know how much I missed you, Natsume! You don't know how much I've wanted to see you!"

Natsume looked at her.

"Natsume, don't go far away anymore..." She whispered.

Slowly, Natsume circled his arms around Mikan's waist and hugged her. "I... don't want to leave you alone anymore, Mikan."

Mikan stared in the space, tears streaming down her cheeks. When Natsume's words registered in her mind, she hugged him back. She sobbed.

"I... don't want to lose you." Natsume whispered.

Mikan sobbed louder.

Natsume faced her and through the moonlight, Mikan saw him smile. "Best friends?"

Mikan smiled. "Best friends, Natsu-chan!"

"Promise?"

"Promise! Best friends forever, Natsu-chan!" Mikan took his hand and wrapped her pinky finger on his.

Natsume's smile turned to a smirk. "Good, polkadots."

Mikan puffed her cheeks. "Oi, oi! You perverted meany! I'm not wearing those right now!"

Natsume's smirk grew. "Let's see what kind of printed panties you're wearing today, polkadots."

Mikan's blood rose up until it was seen on her face. "PERVERT!"

"Tch." He said, chuckling lightly.

Well, typical Natsume. Perverted as always.

Mikan smiled. But little did she know that Natsume was in pain right now.
