"You "think" you saw him?" Hiro said leaving his hiding spot.
"Hmm..Shi-chan I knew spying on Hyuuga-san was great chose seeing that Mikan-sama really wanted to see him." Chii said.
"Yeah, I guess we did what we can. It's all up to them." Hiro said intertwining Chii's hands with his own.
"Hai." Chii said.

"Intruders at Main Gate, Jinno-sensei!" a panicking voice said.
"What?! That's impossible! Our barrier from a kilometer away should have stop any intruder already." An angry voice called out.
"Check all the gates! Strengthen all the magic barriers up to the highest possible level. We cannot afford to make any mistakes this time!" Narumi added seriously.
"Hai."
Meanwhile.....
"Natsume, please wait a little longer. Don't leave yet. I need to tell you what I feel first." Mikan prayed as she run to the Sakura tree.
"Natsume, are you here?" Mikan called out. "Please answer me. Please Natsume. If you're here please talk to me. Please...."
No reply.
"He's not here." Mikan said to herself, sitting down at the foot of the tree.
"I'm so sorry Natsume. Please forgive me." Mikan cried with her eyes closed.
"Why are you crying? Ichigo." a soft yet deep voice said.
Mikan recognized this voice and look up to its owner. Her tears stop for the meantime.
"Natsume?" Mikan said.
"Hn?"
"Natsume!" Mikan said and jump into Natsume more like tackled him to the ground.
"Oi!"
"Natsume I miss you so much!" Mikan said tears flowing from her eyes.
"When did I leave?"
"I'm so sorry Natsume. I didn't mean to not answer you. Its just that I was confuse on what to say." Mikan said unshed tears in her eyes.
"It's okay. If you're confused forget all about the confession thing. I'm sorry I even confess." Natsume said his crimson eyes covered by his bangs.
"No! I came up with an answer so please hear me out!" Mikan said.
"If you're going to say no then I rather not here it." Natsume said letting go of her before standing up.
"Why can't you just here me out baka!" Mikan said.
"Don't call me baka when you're the one who can't even answer a simple confession!" Natsume argued.
"Weren't you listening Natsume?! Why do you think I'm here for?!" Mikan retorted back.
"Then say it! What's your answer?!" Natsume shouted back.
"........."
"Well? You got my attention."
"Why do you have to be so damn stupid at the wrong time?!" Mikan thought.
"If you're not going to say anything, then you're wasting my time."
"I said" Mikan murmured at first then shouted " Why did I have to fall in-love with someone so stupid?!"
"Who are you calling stu--....Wait did you just say you love me?" Natsume said shocked.
"Hai. Natsume I love you!" Mikan said.
"Really?" Natsume said nervousness can be seen in his eyes.
"Hai!"
"No doubt?"
"Of course!"
"There's no turning back now." Natsume said wrapping his right arm into Mikan's waist pulling her closer while the left hand caressed her cheek .
"Hn." Mikan answered.
Natsume kissed her forehead and proceeded to her soft lips. But before anything can happen, they heard a loud explosion coming from the gate.
(Mikan's note: Way to ruin a confession Ruu-chan. A/N: Sorry! But I have to.)
BOOM!
"Um, Natsume what's that?!" Mikan said breaking Natsume's grasp.
"Damn." Natsume cursed under his breath.
"Attention all students! We are under attack! For all those who specialized in defensive and combat magic please proceed to DORM A. Jinno-sensei will give you further instructions. For those who specialize in healing please go to Dorm B! Please evacuate the area and go to the shield in the open field! Hurry!" Narumi said who was floating in the sky.
"Natsume let's hurry to the open field." Mikan said pulling Natsume but didn't budge. "Natsume?"
"I'm not going to the open field." Natsume said looking at the direction of the explosion.
"But!" Before Mikan can even finish what she was saying, a evil smirk appeared in Natsume's handsome face.
"I'm going to fight them." Natsume said his smirk still visible.
"Natsume." Mikan murmured hugging him tight. "Please don't."
"Don't worry I'll be back. I just need a little payback." Natsume comforted.
"Payback? What for?" Mikan asked.
"For ruining the moment." Natsume said showing off his smirk.
Mikan smiled "Be careful and Good Luck." Before running off to the open field.
"Now time for a little pay back." Natsume said with an evil glint in his eye
OPEN FIELD
"Mikan-chan!" the twins waved at Mikan.
"Anna! Nonoka! You guys are safe!" Mikan said hugging her friends.
"We are so glad Mikan-chan that you're here." Anna said.
"Where are the others?" Mikan asked.
"Ruka-kun and Hotaru-chan went to fight. Koko-kun is with the principals since he's the best choice to knowing the enemies weakness because he's an expert in Mind Manipulation and Reading." Anna answered.
"I think Chii-chan is in Dorm B. Yuu is with Mochu-kun trying to distract the enemy." Nonoka added.
"How about Hiro? Have you seen him?" Mikan asked.
The two shook their heads.
"I see." Mikan said disappointed.
"Mikan-chan it's boring just staying here." Nonoka said.
"Well we can't help it. All I know in my state is Basic Magic." Mikan sighed.
"All we know is making magical potions." the twins said in chorused.
"Hey have you notice that most of the occupants of this shield are children?" Nonoka said.
"Please don't say Nonoka-chan. You're making us feel more pathetic." Anna sighed.
"No what I mean, let's comfort the children. I mean we're adults right? Some them crying, so let's comfort them." Nonoka said smiling.
"That's a great idea Nonoka-chan! I'm glad you're my best friend!" Anna squealed.
"Let's go!" Nonoka said.
"Mikan-chan wanna come?" Anna asked.
"I would love too!" Mikan said.
They comforted the children and told them fairy tales so they could feel safer. Unknown to the occupants of the shield, the academy was losing. Well at first they were at advantage and took out half of intruders but unfortunately the intruders called for a back up and their numbers even tripled. The students of the academy and their familiar were tired and exhausted by the half let alone tripled the number.
"Mikan-sama!" a voice called out.
"Hey isn't that Chii-chan?!" Nonoka said.
"It is! I think Chii-chan is calling for you Mikan-chan." Anna said.
"Mikan-sama, Shi-chan is in need of your assistance." Chii said panting from all that running.
"Eh? Why? Is the academy losing?!" Mikan half shouted.
The children panicked at Mikan's statement and began to huddle around the three girls laps. (A/N: They were sitting)
"Mikan-chan!" the twins said warning Mikan not to scare the children.
"Oops sorry!" Mikan said.
"Mikan-sama!" Chii said taking Mikan's attention. " Mikan-sama, the academy is losing terribly. We need your help." she whispered this sentence so only the three girls can hear.
"But."
"Please we need you."
"Go Mikan-chan will take it from here." Anna said.
"Yeah, do what you can to help and we'll do our part." Nonoka said.
"Nee-chan are you going?" one small girl asked. This girl reminds her so much of Natsume with her red eyes and raven hair.
"I don't Aoi-chan." Mikan answered.
"Please go. Nii-chan will need your help." Aoi answered.
"Nii-chan?" Anna, Nonoka and Mikan both asked.
"Could it be you're......" Mikan said.
"Natsume-kun's imouto?!" the twins said. "SO Kawaii!!!"
"Hai, so please help Nii-chan defeat those bad people." Aoi said.
"Okay I will." Mikan answered.
"Promise?" Aoi said showing her pinky.
"Promise." Mikan said linking her pinky to Aoi's to form a bond.
