Natsume?'

Fic start : Chapter 4: Mother.Test Subject. Whatever

Natsume pulled away quickly, "Why did I do that?'

Mikan hadn't moved at all because of shock. She couldn't believe either, her mind was blank.

Natsume finally had the chance but he can't say it, it would just be too sudden.

The wind blew a few leaves across the ground and the sky seemed to get darker as the sun slowly set in the horizon.

"Right then...Polka..No I mean mikan..I'll see you at the party.."Natsume's hair was partially covering his red face. Natsume then ordered his body to move away. Mikan after a few more minutes regained herself again. Her heart was beatingfast, her face crimson red.It was already dark; the crescent was up in the sky. Mikan didn't bother to go to dinner. She went strait to her room, and lay down on her bed… Her mind was still blank from shock, frustration and maybe a bit tinge of anger. "…I'll see you at the part..." Her eyes widened, she sat up from bed as realization dawned on her features, as her cheeks which just turned a darker shade of crimson.

The Next day…

"Good morning Students, today we will have no classes because all of your teachers will have a special seminar…All students are required though to be back in their rooms by 9pm. That is all students, have a good day." Mikan was in the hallway, she was in a rush. This day would break her streak of not being late. But since she heard the P.A system, she stopped and turned around and went slowly back to her room. She didn't feel like going to Hotaru's party anymore.

'How will I face Natsume? and how do I really feel about him..' Mikan stopped walking, she looked around and noticed she wasn't really going to her room but towards the place she last saw Natsume the day before. She turned around and started going to her room, when she finally reached the dorm. Someone was already waiting for her there, "Baka , where were you all day?"

"Hotaru?"

"Anyway Iinchou been waiting for us about two hours ago.." Hotaru stood strait and was about to turn around when she said "Well? Aren't you going? It will take your mind away from your problems for awhile." Mikan realized she's been worrying her friends too much.

"Ok Hotaru, I'll just put away my school stuff…"

"Hurry up or I'll leave with out you." replied Hotaru's still emotionless voice. They soon left and rode the bus to central town. After awhile Mikan felt good and forgot all about hotaru's party and Natsume. Yuu, Hotaru and Mikan decided to eat at one of the popular café's in central, "The Hikari". After ordering, Hotaru suddenly said "So Mikan, do you have an invitation to my party?" Mikan being spaced out just answered a yes.

" Did Ruka give you an invitation?"

"Yes…"

"But your date will be Natsume right?"

"Yes…" Yuu gasped.

"So how did he ask you?"

Mikan finally getting out of her trance, Had a questioning look on her features.

"What do you mean Hotaru?"

"Iinchou? How was long was I speaking to her?"

"Um…from my calculations it would be 30 minutes.."

"Great Work Mikan", Answered Hotaru as she grabbed the claw of her huge crab.

"But I didn't do anything!"

"Yeah you did do something Mikan, answered Yuu as he sipped from his orange juice.

"You just tested out Hotaru's new invention. A perfume, if smelled he or she will get dazed out and answer any of your questions." Yuu then proceeded to eat his food, which turned out to be Gindara and some fried rice. Mikan who was still confused, thought about it for another minute…

"HOTARU! HOW COULD YOU!"

The whole restaurant then turned to stare at the girl who now stood up and banged her hand on the table. " I needed it for something don't worry.." the senseless argument then went on. A park was nearby since it was an open air restaurant. Two young boys casually walk around with another eight year old boy. He followed them, however he heard a certain shout from someone and turned. He then quickly left and went towards the sound. He spotted it, then casually hugged her infront of everyone. The girl turned to see who it was… "Oh youichi! How come you're here? Want to join us for dinner?" "No mother it's all right. I was just walking with father a moment ago."

"Now…youichi..please try to remember that you should call me Mikan ok or sakura ok?"

"But.."

"Youichi!"

"Hey dad!."

The awkward silence as Mikan stood strait and saw Natsume. Natsume stopped in his tracks. They glared and resumed to the usual bickering. Hotaru finished her crab turned to the fighting couple. It seemed different, they're doing this on purpose. I guess I'll find out tomorrow at the party. This is going to be fun as she smiled evilly to herself
