How Do You Heal a Broken Heart?
By: unnamed cat
Chapter 2: When the feelings are shown and the identities revealed
™-----------------------------------------------------------------™
"Am I really back?"
Natsume had been thinking about what Mikan said. He never thought of the fact that he was back in that way. A question did linger in his confused mind, was he really back? Then if he was why'd he feel so different as if there's something not appropriate or there's something lacking? Was it just him or has all the people he knew changed. It was like he never knew them. He fell back in his comfortable bed and tried to sleep, in thought that he could sleep. At least he thought Mikan wasn't one of those who changed…
The next morning was like any other mornings in Alice Academy except that this morning a loud bang woke him up.
Bang! Bang!
Someone was knocking on his door. It was not any other ordinary knock but the most annoying he had heard since he came.
'Who is this pathetic person banging on my door?!' he thought irritatingly. He scratched his head and yelled.
"Who the heck are you? What do you want?"
"Natsume open up, it's an emergency."
Realizing that his best friend Ruka was the one who woke him up, he opened his door.
"What is it now, Ruka?" he asked as he scratched his eyes. He still felt sleepy from what happened the other night. The instant he opened his door he saw Ruka panting and his hands on his knees.
"You've gotta come with me! It's urgent!" Ruka said as he took hold of Natsume's hands. He dragged him outside.
"What the heck do you think you're doing, dragging me here outside in my pajamas?!" Natsume started yelling at Ruka but he was cut off when he saw where Ruka has brought him.
'What the?' he was shocked when the image he had seen registered in his mind.
He saw Tsubasa, Misaki, Hotaru, Sumire, Kokoro, and Anna, Nonoko, Yuu, Youichi (who is now 8), an unknown boy (whom he suspected as Ryu), and Mikan saying;
"WELCOME BACK, Natsume!"
Mikan went closer to him and handed him a small box. She told him to open it. He looked around and got a little bit irritated.
'This is the reason why he woke me up?' He eyed on everyone in the room. 'Why is everyone getting so attached on me coming back here? Is it because of her?' he thought as he eyed on Mikan. It was so like Mikan to drag everybody in this kind of mess.
Then he notices a not so familiar face. The boy was so close to Mikan. He was annoyed about the thought that there is a person who could get close to her more than he can.
"What's this fuss all about?" he demanded.
"Can't you see, idiot. They did this to welcome you!" Hotaru said as she sipped her shake and looked away.
"Hey Hotaru don't be so rough on Natsume!" Sumire warned her and she walked to Natsume and handed him a glass of shake.
"I don't need this stupidity." He said ignoring Sumire for the millionth time. He was walking out the room when Mikan blocked his way.
"This is no stupidity! I made this for you!" Mikan said as she emphasized the words I and you. "You still have no manners! I made this. All of this and look at you!" she was in the verge of tears.
"YOU, did this?" he was really a bit touched. But of course he wouldn't show his softness. And besides he already figured out that she would be the one responsible for all these.
"Now I know why this is so stupid, an idiot did it." He mocked her.
"Don't you dare talk to Mikan in that manner of yours!" the boy interrupted their little chat.
He was a bit shocked and somewhat fascinated in a way he couldn't understand. The boy whom he saw very close to Mikan somewhat had a resemblance of his face. But still for him he was better looking. (A/n: hehe of course!)
"Don't tell me what to do! Who are you anyway?" Natsume yelled at Ryu and shoved his shoulder.
"Well I'm just Mikan's boy friend!" Ryu emphasized the word boy friend to annoy him.
He was angry. He knew he was her boy friend because he remembered him from yesterday, but why the heck did he have to but in? 'Who does he think he is her new superhero?'
"I'm leaving." Natsume murmured. He walked away.
Mikan talked to Ryu.
"You shouldn't have talked to him that way. You don't know him." Mikan whispered to his ear.
"Then what do you expect me to do? Wait in the corner and let you get insulted?" he demanded.
"You don't understand." Mikan murmured softly looking away from him.
"No! I understand perfectly. You still love him don't you?" Ryu accused her.
"I don't have time for this." Mikan said as she flipped her hair to her back. She was really tired of that topic ever since Natsume arrived.
"You always have no time whenever he becomes our topic!" Ryu raised his voice.
"Are we going to fight about this again?" Mikan grew tired of the conversation.
"You're the one who started it." He accused again.
"I'm leaving." She turned to Hotaru. "Hotaru, please wrap things up here. I'm gonna do an errand, an important one."
"Yah, sure, Mikan. But do take care." Hotaru said as she prepared one of her new inventions.
"Hey! We're not yet finished, Mikan Sakura!" Ryu yelled at her.
Boommm… Baammm… Buougggss…
The chibi Hotaru came out of nowhere…
INVENTION number 1016: the 'mouth stopping bandage'
It stops any person who talks loudly and irritatingly, and seals its mouth for 60 minutes. Also try with the 'silencing ear plug' the after shock of the 'MSB', only for 16000 rabbits. Each sold separately.
Now Ryu was wrapped up with a bandage and obviously can't speak at all. He gave Hotaru a sharp look and walked away.
"Don't ever do that to Mikan ever again, or else…" she shouted at the disappearing figure of Ryu.
™-------------------------------------------------------------™
'Why the heck did that Ryu guy have to appear?' Natsume was really irritated. He threw another pebble in the river. It made 3 leaps this time.
"Uhm… Natsume?"
He heard a familiar feminine voice. It was the owner of the voice that he had been thinking since the moment he arrived. He didn't bother to look back. Was he hurt? Could he be hurt? Hmmm…
"So? Is this just like before? You never turn back whenever it was me calling out your name?" Mikan said as she wiped away the tears that were flowing down to her cheeks.
He stood up and went closer to her. He wiped her tears. He couldn't understand why he can't just leave her without doing anything, why he can't refuse her and let her be.
"You don't have to cry, polka dots. Even if I do turn back I still wouldn't see what I wanted to see." Natsume said as he hands her his handkerchief. "Besides, it's hard to look at something that's so near yet so far."
She was a bit puzzled at what he said but she was shocked that he became ever so serious in speaking.
"Well what do you want to see when you turn back anyway?! Is it not enough if you'd see the person calling you?!" Mikan cried more. She was acting too childish in front of him but she can't help it. It was only Natsume after all. He was the only person she thought she could show this kind of stupidity.
She started punching his chest; he placed his arms around her.
"Coz' it's your smiling face that I wanna see not your tears." Natsume comforted her more. "Isn't that enough reasons for me?"
His voice was so soothing that she got lost in his arms as if she was dancing. She had that feeling of warmth inside she couldn't hide.
"If you hadn't left me I wouldn't be crying!" Mikan accused him.
Natsume placed a finger to her lips and hushed her.
"Just keep silent for a minute and let's stay like this for a while. Cause we can't have each other now." Natsume said as he hugged her tighter.
"What do you mean we can't have each other? We still can! I'm still here!" Mikan raised her head at him.
"You already have him!" Natsume tried to look away. "I don't wanna spoil our last moment so please. Just hold on to me for a while."
"Don't worry now that you're here, I'll do everything for us! I still…" he cut her off by kissing her lightly.
He whispered to her ear.
"No need, as long as you know what this feels." Natsume whispered to her ears as he placed her hand to his chest… his heart.
"Oh Natsume!" Mikan placed her arms around his shoulders.
They stayed that way for another moment or two. Then they parted with a last mild and gentle kiss.
(A/n: I can't believe it's me writing this. I wish someday I'm going to feel what Mikan felt in my story… what a bummer this had to be a fan fiction… hmp… hope all of you are still enjoying…)
™----------------------------------------------------------™
"I don't understand Mikan! Why did she have to love that Natsume again? Haven't I erased him from her memory? Wasn't that enough?!"
Ryu was angry. He had thrown ever single pillow from his bed to the floor. He was looking at Natsume's picture. He wanted to smash it yet he can't. Coz if he did he would disappear.
"Why'd he have to be in her heart? I don't understand? I loved her too. I had her already. Maybe that's not enough. Maybe I should have the whole of her… her soul and… her body. Hmm haha haha haha"
He was wicked.
He was insane.
He was mad.
He wanted her, but not only her… her whole body and soul! He was planning to seduce her… or maybe… to rape her… just to have her thoroughly!
™-----------------------------------------------------------™
The next day, Mikan still can't forget what had happened between her and Natsume. She admits she liked it. Ryu never kissed her in her lips before. She didn't want to. But why'd she allow Natsume? That she didn't know, but she liked it. She longed for another. She wanted to feel his warm body against her again.
"Mikan?" Ryu tapped her shoulder.
"Oh it's you. So what do you want Ryu?" Mikan asked as she removes her jacket. He tone was so flat as if she wanted to push him away.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you." He said soothingly.
"Apology accepted." Another flat answer was said to him.
"Can I invite you over dinner later? I mean if you wanted to?" he said scratching his head.
"Yes sure."
"Ok then see you later." He turned his back and grinned.
'I'm going to have you Mikan! You're MINE!'
™------------------------------------------------------™
That same morning, Ruka's friend 'the mouse' told him what he had heard Ryu say the other night.
"Really?! God I should tell Natsume!"
"Thank you my little friend."
Ruka rushed out his room to Natsume's. He banged his door hard.
BANG! BANG!
"Natsume! Natsume! Open up! It's me, Ruka" he was petrified.
"What now?" Natsume opened his door.
Ruka pushed him in his room and whispered.
"He's gonna rape Mikan!"
"WHAT?!"
"My spy, Mr. Mouse told me what he said last night he was planning to rape her!"
"If he touches just a single hair of Mikan he's toast!"
"Let's find Mikan now!" Natsume added.
"No! She wouldn't believe us. Let's just follow her and when he does anything weird we hit him." Ruka suggested.
"Okay then for once, we do it your way." Natsume tried to calm down but he was really angry. He was worried about Mikan.
'I'm gonna stay with her up to the last minute.' He thought.
™------------------------------------------------------------™
"You know what Hotaru? I'm happy." Mikan said to Hotaru.
"Wow. Wait I'll give out a party for you. It's not everyday an idiot gets to be happy." She said mockingly.
"No silly. I'm happy because… Natsume kissed me." She whispered.
"WHAT?"
"You don't have to react like that!" Mikan said with a slight giggle.
"I do! You have a boy friend already! It's not appropriate for a 15 year old girl like you to do so." Hotaru said rather shocked and how she emphasized the words. "But, how did it feel? Was his body warm?" she added nastily.
"Oh! Hotaru! I thought you were a good girl. But yes, he was warm compared to Ryu. Ryu never kissed me in my lips before. I don't want him to." Mikan said as she combs her hair.
"But you let Natsume kiss you?"
"Yup!"
"You still love him don't you?" Hotaru asked a bit serious.
"I think so."
"Are you happy?"
"YES!"
"Alright then, I'm with you." Hotaru told Mikan.
Mikan gave her a warm smile and hugged her.
"Thanks. And it's not like everyday a genius support his subordinate. Right?"
"I told you never hug me!" Hotaru said.
"But Hotaru please…"
"Wait. I want to hear the 4 words come out of your mouth before I agree." Hotaru said.
Mikan nodded and said;
…"I love you, Natsume."…
