CHAPTER 7

What an awkward position! Natsume's free hand was beside Mikan's head, his legs in between hers. It was as though they were about to start a wild make-out session.

"Eh!?" Mikan's face was a deep crimson red, nearly as red as Natsume's eyes…

KACHA! KACHA! KACHA!

The ever-ready blackmailing queen took out her camera and started clicking away. It was amazing how fast she can take the pictures with only 1 hand and a noisy Ruka beside her.

"Ah! HO-TA-RU!!" Mikan stood up, dragging Natsume with her.

"Don't come near me. Especially when you have that Hyuuga with you…" Mikan froze, anime style as Hotaru and Ruka exited the classroom. (Ruka of course had no choice but to follow.) But before exiting, she turned her head and said, "You are off-bounds starting from today to the end of the ball. Oh, and YOU guys owe me 100 rabbits each." She said, pointing at Koko, Mochu and Mikan.

The boys shuddered once the door slammed shut. "NOOOO!!" Mikan cried animatedly, only to be smacked on the head by the raven-haired boy.

"Oww… Itai… Natsume… (shiku shiku shiku)" Mikan cried.

"Sigh… Let's go, I can't bear to be in this class anymore…" Natsume said and pulled Mikan out of the classroom.

"Where are we going?" Mikan asked once she recovered from her pain.

"Someplace quiet…Now will you shut up?" Natsume was clearly annoyed by all the questions the brunette had asked recently.

After a while, Mikan realized that the path they were heading to seem very familiar.

"Now… Have I come here before?" She asked tha bor and he looked at her as though she was the most stupid person in the world.

"She's a pure idiot!" He thought as he just kept walking until he spotted the familiar looking tree.

Mikan, who seemed to have snapped out of her moment of stupidity, shouted, "Hora! Isn't that the Sakura Tree? Ne? ne?"

BAM!

"Ouch! Why did you do that for?" Mikan whined as she rubbed her head.

"Too loud!" Natsumepulled her towards the tree and sat down. Mikan plummeted beside him.

Suddenly, Natsume whipped out a manga and started to read, though he was having difficulty flipping the pages.

"Woah! Where did that come from?" Mikanstared at the manga.

"I always have some near the tree…" the raven-haired boy shrugged. Mikan stared at him. "He rarely answers my questions… this is so unlike him…"

However, Mikan being Mikan, just shrugged off that thought and said, "Ne Natsume? I think you are having difficulty flipping the pages. Shall I help you? I am bored…I want to read too!"

"Hn… Whatever…" Natsume inched the manga closer to her and their shoulders slightly touched. The brunette blushed a little when she noticed that Natsume was so close to her.

"Ne Natsume?" She said, flipping a page.

"What?" A vein popped out of his head. He was clearly annoyed by all the questions.

"Gomena…For what I did in class… the k-k-kiss…" Mikan covered her blushes with her bangs. Natsume turned from the book to face her.

--SILENCE—

"This is awkward…Why did she have to mention that again?" The flamecaster thought when suddenly, a devious idea popped up his head. He smirked.

"Hn…That wasn't that bad…Besides, it isn't the FIRST time I had KISSED you, right, I.c.h.i.g.o. k.a.r.a.?"

DING……….

"Ah!! Natsume no hentai!!" She shouted

"Mou Natsume… sigh…Whatever, let's continue reading shall we?" Mikan flashed a bright smile at him.

After reading for quite a long time, Mikan was getting tired. She fell asleep, laying the head against the tree trunk.

"Oi baka, flip the page…" Natsume stopped speaking when he turned and saw her sleeping soundly.

"Hmm…Baka, you will get neck ache sleeping like that." He said. When she did not reply from her deep slumber, he sigh and put her head on his shoulder. The brunette unconsciously snuggled into his neck, making Nastume freeze for a while, he blushed, and continued reading his manga…

Unknown to the blissful couple, someone had seen them. "Kuroi Neko…how sweet…but it will not last, enjoy while you can…" And then, he disappeared.

Who was 'he'?

He was the one and only…PERSONNA…
