The Dare

Chapter 15:

Questions and Doubts

"Huh…?" Who the heck is this …. Wow.. his a handsome kid … Ruka got confused, who was this handsome and cute kid running to him and calling him Uncle Ruka?

The child continued to run to him and when he reached him, he hugged him tightly, "So you are really uncle Ruka huh? You're handsome uncle! Mom has told me a lot about her classmates and she mentioned you! Your face didn't change! You still have the same look like before in your class picture!"

Ruka sweat dropped, "Mommy? Who's your mommy? Wait, who's your daddy?" Ruka asked, eyeing on Kokoroyomi and Natsume.

Then, a girl from the door walked out and Ruka was surprised with the loud shout, "Youichi! You're here! But how-?" Mikan asked, wondering how Youichi got back home, but then, she blushed when she saw the man behind her son.

"Na- Natsume.."

Youichi heard his mom's voice saying his father's name so he turned around and looked at his father, expecting for an answer…

"M- Mikan… I'm – sorry…"

Mikan covered her eyes and started to cry softly but later on turned into a loud cry, she started sobbing heavily and sniffing like she's sniffing everything around her.

Ruka was dumbfounded, he raised a brow and said loudly, "Can someone explain this to me? What the hell is happening?" He looked at Natsume, "Natsume?" His gaze fell on Mikan, "Mikan?"

Youichi embraced his loving mother, "Mama, shhhhh…. Daddy loves you very much.. you know that.. "

Natsume blushed, Mikan behind her hands blushed harder…

Ruka's eyes twitched, "Mama? Daddy!"

"You've got a lot to learn.." Whispered Kokoroyomi..

"You know about it?" Asked Ruka doubtfully to Kokoroyomi.

"Yeah… and believe me, you won't believe it.." Kokoroyomi whispered back, his eyes on Natsume and Mikan.

But yet, no one said a single word about Mikan and Natsume, it was just a weird commotion, Natsume getting teary eyed just by looking at Mikan, Mikan, crying like a baby who haven't eaten for months, Kokoroyomi looking down and not looking at anybody, Hotaru staring at the 4 from the door and Ruka standing at the middle. "Hello!"

Mikan finally got silent after several minutes, Natsume approached her and hugged her, "Mi- Mikan.. please forgive me… please! I love you Mikan, I love you…"

Mikan of course looked up, Natsume didn't miss that sweet smile on her face, but that sweet smile that Natsume had just seen disappeard and turned into a sad smile, "Aishiteru Natsume-kun, demo…….. what about Yumi..?"

"That old hag…" Whispered Youichi to himself.

"Mi- Mikan… I don't like her, I love you, and I'll do anything for me and her to separate because… I want us, you and me, Mikan, to be together for the rest of our-"

RING RING

Natsume's cellphone started to ring, "Moshi moshi?"

"Natsume! Where have you been? I've been calling you for the past few days but no one answered! Our marriage! Our marriage is on Sunday, THIS SUNDAY NATSUME! Have you forgotten?"

Natsume's eyes sprang wide, Shit! The wedding…. THE WEDDING! I must stop it, two days from now, I'll be marrying her … in the church…. I- I can't let that happen! Bullshit! "Yumi?"

Mikan who was listening got worried, now she knows who called Natsume, she just looked down, she had no choice, she just have to wait for Natsume to tell them what Yumi said.

"Yes my Natsume?"

"Shut up…. I don't want you, I don't like you.. and definitely I don't love you…. Please Yumi, if you love me, you'll set me-"

"NO NATSUME! I WON'T SET YOU FREE! I love you Natsume!"

"But I don't love you Yumi, we've been together for about 5 years and I know you know that I never really loved you, that I loved someone else…"

"And that girl is Mikan right? That bitch- "

"Don't you call her bitch!"

"Demo Natsume-kun, please, in payment for all the things I've done for you, marry me.. we're perfect for each other, we love- "

"I DON'T LOVE YOU!"

"Go- gomen.." Yumi apologized, her voice in its lowest.

"We won't marry this Sunday, I'll do anything to stop that stupid idiotic wedding of ours, that's a promise Yumi" And with that, Natsume put down the phone.

"Y- your wedding is on Sunday? This Sunday?" Asked Mikan quietly, her voice shaking.

"Ha- hai… Mikan, but I'll stop it! We'll be the one-"

He noticed that he wasn't talking to anyone anymore, the car infront of him, (which is Hotaru's car) started its engine and it started to move..

"Go after her Natsume" Adviced Ruka.

"I will" Natsume ran to the car of Ruka and started its engine, but unfortunately, the car shut off, there were no more batteries, "Kuso, now how will I go after her?"

"Idiots… you do know that I have alice right?" Asked a voice behind the boys.

The boys turned around and gulped at Hotaru's expression, "Ye- yes.."

"I can track my car with this car tracker so… I definitely know where Mikan is right now… stupid you!"
