The Heart Breaker
Chapter 10
" A Wolf till the end of my Days "
#Wolf's Black Kokoro#
Natsume was looking for his book- a special one that he wrote a couple of songs in it and won't let anyone see it- he turned his room upside down but still he found nothing
"Damn could it be I left it in the classroom yesterday?" he ran to his classroom, ignoring all the fan girls that crossed his way as usual
As Natsume got nearer, he could hear someone playing the guitar and singning. The raven's footsteps slowed down when he regnonized the voice 'It's Mikan, but what is she doing here on a a day off?' he peeked through the door that was slightly open and saw her with a grim look on her pretty face, she sighed (pls read the lyrics and A/N later ^^)
Just the two of us walking through the park on the pathway back home
Watching you being more happy than usual, I asked
"What would you do if the world disappears tomorrow?"
You didn't say anything You just held my hand tighter
Hey, hey, look this way
Our lips are so close My heart won't stop racing
Whatever you, whatever time, I'll always catch hold of you so,
If your heart hurts and tears fall,
Even if all the world turns into enemies, I'll protect you.
STAND BY ME It can't be just anyone.
I want to stay by you forever.
I LOVE YOU Words are unnecessary
You're my last love Forever. You said
He heard her sigh again " Rei, why did he have to appear now after all of those years? Shit! it brings back memories" she asked herself loud as she held her guitar tighter " No I swore that I won't open my heart to anyone anymore. I'm strong, I'm better off without him" she mumbled under her breath
'Rei? just Ex-classmates huh? why did you lie to me Mikan?'
Natsume felt bitter and a little bit heart-broken and without knowing what he's doing, he opened the door"Whos' there?" Mikan's head shot up, ready to kick some ass but then she was shocked to see Natsume standing there with an emotionless facade
"Natsume what are..." he walked over to his seat and found his book under his desk
"Just looking for something, jaa" he was about to leave
"Wait how much did you heard?" she asked
"Enough to know that you aren't just X-classmates. I'll take my leave now"
"Matte, Natsume"she wasn't realizing what she was doing, and she felt like she was going to cry 'Why do I feel guilty ?'
Natsume stopped as he felt hands wrap around his torso "Mikan?"
"Ma-matte kudasai, ikanaide onegai" she let her body react on his own, she let her feelings take over her but to tell the truth she was confused 'Why am I doing this? leting my weak side show in front of Natsume. Am I fucking insane? '
He chuckled lightly and took her hands off of him gently as he turned around, she seemed like a kid who was lost or got his candy stolen from him
"Stupid, what was that about?" her cheeks were tinted a slight red and puffed 'This girl can be cute when she's out of character'
He sighed and took her hands in his, led her over the window where she sat earlier and urged her to sit next to him, face to face
"Talk!" he commanded, she looked at the sky
"Don' wanna" she let one foot hang loosely and swayed it back and forth
"Talk or I'm gonna make you. And you know I have my own sadistic ways" he smirked, horror struck her as she remembered when she got engaged in a tickle fight with Natsume because she didn't want to say the combo that she used in a video game, and she ended up blurting everything. And at that day Natsume found out Mikan's weak spot
"Fine!" she huffed and slumped, her back leaning on the window
"Rei and I used to date" Mikan rested her head on the glass
"Tell me from the start" he patted her hand, she nodded
"There's nothing to say, kedo..." she ruffled her hair "the first time I met him was at our first year in middle school when he saved me from a painful fall because I tried to help a bird and..."
"Wait you, falling from a tree? I'm not buying it, you climb it like a monkey" she glared at him
"Idiot, I spend my whole Summer training before senior year in Nadeshiko middle because at first I was weak and couldn't harm a fly. And don't interrupt me" he raised his hands as an 'ok-ok' sign
"Anyway, the second time he helped me carry a huge pile of books to the library. After in second year we became classmates and friends, once I was cornered by some drunk morons and they tried to harass me but Rei was there in the right time and saved me again... I was vulnerable" she frowned
"We used to walk back home together because like me he lived alone, I remember that we took the park as a short cut. And one day he asked me to be his girlfriend, I accepted. He was the first guy that made me feel weird" she crossed her arms behind her head. While Natsume didn't utter a single word
"As I said I spend my Summer in training and switched schools before senior year so when I went to Nadeshiko it was the new me. Strong, smart, bad-mouth in short a bad ass chick that everybody couldn't help but hate yet admire. You know I met the girls in detention for the first time and we became fast friends and trouble makers" she smirked as a flash of angry teachers came to her mind "And that's when things started to change between me and Akemi"
"I went to his house to give him his birthday present but when I opened the door I found him on the couch, making out with a girl I never saw before"
Flach Back
Mikan was astonished at the sight that greeted thus she let her present fall on the ground which caught the attention of the busy couple
"Mikan!" Rei cried as he pushed the girl that was on top of him
"It seems as if you guys need to talk alone. Bye" she kissed Rei on his cheek and gave Mikan a smug look as she passed by her
"Mikan I can explain" he tried to defend himself. The brunette stood by the door and kept her cool, she nodded at him in a lazy way
"Well...The truth is..." he stuttered unable to find the words
"You know if you had the hots for another chick you could have told me instead of wasting my time" she replied coolly
"No that's not it, I used to love you Mikan. But look at you, you've changed" he sat on the couch as she approached him
"Please care to fucking tell me?"
"Mikan you act like a guy now. Where is sweet Mikan that I used to know? why did you have to change to this bad girl attitude?"
"Oh I see, you wanted the old me back" she smirked "how pathetic! you wanted to keep on playing my knight-in-shining-armor huh?" she glared at him
"Well guess what buddy? that sweet bubbly Mikan is gone with the wind. Now you're dealing with the Alpha of Demon Maidens. What? am I too much for you?"
"Now that's what I hate about the so-called new you" he shouted as he stood up "Sarcasm, swearing, getting into fights, acting like a guy. What the hell is wrong with you? I want a real girlfriend not a boyfriend" she sighed
"Look! all that crap about manners and being lady-like. I'm sick of that shit, YOUR SHIT!"she turned around ready to leave "Oh and by the way, I had to change or else I wouldn't survive in this world, after all you don't know me that well. I was a burden and dense that people had to look after me all the time and sympathise with me, but now I won't take anyone's shit"
She went back to him and punched him in the guts then threw his present at his face "You could have just told me that you want us to break up instead of cheating on me. Bastard, if you really loved me then you could've accepted the new attitude of mine"
Flash Back Owari
"Wow you actually punched him? smooth Tangerine" he nudged her knee
"Thankx" she smiled a little at him
"Ok turn that frown upside down, and let me see one of your annoying smiles" he held her hand in his. She looked at their clasped hands, and blushed but she hid it with her bangs
"You know it's the first time I act this way in front of someone and especially a guy" he smirked and decided to tease her
"Then that means I'm special to you" she looked at him
"But you are special to me Natsume" he didn't expect her to say something like this. So he did the only thing that he can do at that moment, he held her head and rested it on his chest as she began to cry silently
"Cry as much as you want Mikan, Sobani Iru dayou"
"I never cried like this since my mother died when I was five" he stroked her hair "I hate to show weakness. I hate to be weak Natsume, I..."
"It's ok to be weak every once in a while, you don't have to act strong 24/7. Or else you might explode and that won't be a nice experience" she laughed
"Mikan, I...I..." 'Should I tell her or not?' he stared down at her tears stained face and chose the later
"Never mind. Hey I want to show you a song that I was working on recently" he unwillingly let go of her and went to take his book. He took her guitar and began to sing the first part
Seather ft Jamy Lee- Broken
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
She decided to join him
'cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel light when you're gone away
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
"Nice job, big guy" she beamed at him "I'm proud of you son" she hugged him and patted his shoulder
"You're not my mother" he snapped and pushed her away
"Of course not. I'm your girlfriend, " he blushed ten shades of red" just kidding. Oh you're red"
"No, I'm not" he sighed in relief, she almost caught him
"But you were..."he wrapped his arm around her in his usual head lock
"Central Town, you and me, Howalons and video games. Whatcha say?" she smiled and stood up. Howalons are her second weak spot
"Lets' go then, your treat" she dashed to the door, his lips curved upwards 'Yokata, she's her cheerful self again'
"Oi Nat come on, I want to eat Howalons"
"Hai hai" he stood up lazily and went pass her "Hurry up little girl "
"Hey wait for me" she ran after him and jumped on his back "Carry me, big guy"
"Oh no, get down. I'm not gonna let you treat me as a horse like last time" he tried to pry her off but she glued her legs around his waist
"Shut the hell up and suck it up, your little Koala wants a ride. You're gonna freaking carry me, whether you like or not" she said and poked his cheeks childishly. She knew he would let her have her way at the end
"Fine, but you'll pay for my massage sessions"
"Katsuu" she raised her fist in the air "Big Guy I want a huge box of Howalons"
"Hai hai" he sighed but smiled nonetheless 'She's back to herself'
'Now I know my reply for your request Akemi'
She smirked and decided to forget about him for a moment and enjoy her time with Natsume then she can go back to think a way to crush his heart.
Flash Back
"I wonder who's that son of a bitch that thinks he can prank me?" she closed her door with a loud bang
Mikan meet me at the fountain, I have something that belongs to you. Don't be late
Xx A. Spirit xX
"I see you came Mikan" a figure said as she approached the fountain that was in the middle of the campus
"Who are you? show yourself" he stepped out of the shadows "You're that jerk from before"
"What you forgot me? it's Jun, Mikan" he whined in a childish voice but then an evil smirk was plastered on his face
"Mikan I want you to be my girlfriend" she scoffed
"I rather turn to a lesby than go out with a bastard like you. Yapari coming here would waste my time" she turned around to go back to her room
"Then I have to do it the hard way" he grabbed her by the wrist and used his arms to cage her
"What the fuck you think you're doing?" she glared at him
"I want you. Your character is interesting, it turns me on" she wanted to puke 'Keep it cool Mikan, you don't wanna hurt him or else you might kill him'
"Sheesh thanks but you turn me off. Now let go of me" he leaned in
"No" his face came closer and closer. She spat on him as he tried to kiss her
"What the?" he wiped his face with his sleeve "How dare you do that to me bitch?" she smirked at him
"And how dare you try to force a kiss on me?" 'This is Fun'
"Puh-lease, girls at your place will be honored that I even look at them" he crossed his arms over his chest "Now be a good girl and who knows maybe you'll end up under me in my bed" he sai seductively as he took long steady strides towards her
"Wow now that's what I'm talking about, but..." she played along with him "...if you want me then you have to play it my way ok?"
"And what is your way baby?" he placed his hand on the wall beside her head
"This.." she put her hand on his chest and pushed him back a little. The smirk that was displayed on Jun's face was replaced with confusion and flabbergast as Mikan lifted her foot and kicked his jaw causing his head to spin left
"You! what...?" another kick right in the middle of his face that made him back a couple of steps and drop to the ground, he held his noise afraid that it might break "Bi.."
"Now dude, if you think that I'm one of those bimbo chicks that will easily fall you, then you thought wrong" she pulled on his hair and made him face her
"I knew you weren't like the others and I expected you to be feisty but not this much" she smirked and patted his cheek
"I'm looking for someone who can keep up with me. Oyasumi" she whispered in his ear making him shiver and flicked a hand sharply on the side of his neck. Jun lost conscious "Tch. Idiotic bastard" she lifted his body and made him sleep near the fountain
Footsteps were getting nearer and she heard someone pant "Mikan!" she whirled around only to be greeted by a sight of a panting Rei
"Akemi! what are you doing here at this hour?" she asked coolly as he approached her
"You got my message" he scratched the back of his head "Geez, I told you not to be late but I made you wait. Sorry something came up" she shrugged and rolled her eyes
"Cut to the chase Akemi. I'm in a fucked up mood after my conversation with your little friend" she pointed a lazy finger at the sleeping figure of Jun
"Oi what happened to him?" he went to check on him
"Nothing he's only sleeping, if I wanted I could've put him in a deep slumber..for ever... but I don't want to waste my youth on a bastard like him" she put her hands in her pockets "I had to teach him not to mess with me in the tough way"
"Violent as always huh?" he murmured as he stood up "Anyway Mikan I..."
"More over Akemi from where did you get my number ?" she growled at him
He smiled "I have my ways Mikan" but then he became serious "Mikan I missed you, and I want you back"
She scoffed "It's over and after what? three years? That's pathetic Akemi, asking me to take you back as my boo " she smirked "Now you want a boyfriend huh? got sick of your little dolls that you date?"
"Look Mikan I realized my mistake, I tried to replace you with a lot of girls but I couldn't. You were the only one that my heart truly loved" she resisted the urge to sigh or more to gag 'Corny much? Did he watch Twilight 1-2-3 before he came here?'
"So what do you want from me?" she asked in her uninterested tone
"I want you and... you know what, there's a talent show next month so till then please reconsider my proposal ok? and by the way... " he took out something from his pocket and gave it to her
"Your hat, you forgot it at the basket-ball practice. So I'll leave now" he stared at her for a moment then he pecked her forehead and dashed away, leaving a fuming Mikan behind and a sleeping/unconscious Jun
"That bastard. After all the trouble he caused, he says he wants me back. I can do better without him or anyone by my side" she punched a wall near by making it crack
Flash Back Owari
"Yup I can do better" she smirked
"Huh did you loose it little girl?" Natsume asked, she hit him on the head
"Shut up and keep on going. I want to play that new game at the arcade" she paused "Say Nat are you going to participate in the talents show next month?"
"Maybe and maybe not. Why? are you?"
"Hell yeah, I have to give an answer to someone" she had a twisted smile on her face
"You scare me little girl" he sweat dropped. Suddenly, and with no warning Mikan kissed Natsume's cheek and folded her arms around his neck
"Thankx Natsume" she whispered softly in his ear
"Anytime Tangerine" he smirked but his insides were flipping with joy
He grinned like an idiot ' It's decided if I win the talent show. I'll confess my feelings to Mikan'
But I wonder what will happen at the show? can Natsume keep his word? or will something happen and get in the way of his confession? I wonder *wink* you know you love me Wolf's Black Kokoro :p
