Overprotective and Jealous Mikan

"Will you quit it?!?!" shouted a very frustrated Mikan. Her face and voice were just dripping with irritation and anger as the brunette shouted at her boyfriend who has lazily standing before her.

"I don't see what's wrong" Natsume replied coolly. It was as if he didn't do anything out of the normal yet here his girlfriend was shouting at him unceasingly, to his and his ear's dismay.

"You don't see! You don't see! Are you blind?!?! You just put someone on fire because he walked up to me and was going to ask me something!" Mikan shouted. Mikan was very annoyed with this because this isn't the first time that this happened. Natsume is just the jealous type. Whenever he feels that the boy isn't trustworthy he burns or scares them away. The sad thing is that Natsume isn't a person who trusts easily so most boys end up being burned.

"That boy was up to no good." Natsume defended "All of a sudden he just comes up to you. He obviously wouldn't just go to some stranger without a motive." Even though, if the boy was really innocent, he just couldn't take the chance of anyone making a move on Mikan. Who would be stupid enough to allow that?

"Honestly Natsume! Will you quit doing this? I mean, come on!" Mikan said "You can trust me that I don't have my eyes on anyone except you."

"I do trust you! It's the boys who I don't trust" Natsume replied once again getting bored of this argument that he and Mikan have a lot of times.

Natsume was going to pick up his manga to sit back on the grass under the shade of the famous sakura tree. He was feeling tired and the shouting was just giving him more of headache. He was still trying to remember the face of the boy earlier. He wanted to make a mental note so that he can make sure that the boy won't get anywhere near to Mikan…ever.

Before Natsume could sit down on the soft ground Mikan grabbed the manga and jerked it from his hand, catching Natsume's full attention. "We're not done yet! Natsume, can you quit being so stubborn and jealous all the time?"

With this Natsume sighed, it's not like he has anything to distract him with the manga in his girlfriend's hands. "Well, I thought by now you would realize that this whole argument would be useless. We both know that is how I am. It's what I do. It's also a way for me to show you how much I love you."

"What a great way to show to be loved. I end up friendless." Mikan sarcastically said, rolling her eyes.

"You still have friends who are girls don't you" Natsume then said now resting his back by leaning on the sakura tree, not being able to sit down with his manga for relaxation.

"I have no idea why guys have to be so jealous?" Mikan stated

"Guys? Why only guys?" Natsume then said while lightly closing his eyes. He just simply wants to take a nap if it wasn't for his girlfriend yapping away.

"It's obvious right. Only guys get jealous and overprotective" Mikan then stated as if stating the obvious.

What she said then made Natsume look at her with a smirk "Please, women can get so jealous and overprotective. In fact they say that women are even notorious for their jealousy."

"Is that so?!?!" Mikan then replied raising her eyebrow in disbelief. "I honestly think not"

"Why is that?" Natsume then continued still smirking at his girlfriend's antics.

"Well you don't see me getting jealous and overprotective over you. Do you?" Mikan said smugly. 'Really, I, being jealous, Natsume must be messing with me when he says that girls are notoriously jealous. I would never get jealous at all and I never do.' Mikan thought

"Please" Natsume then said now a little irritated. "The only reason you don't get jealous is because I scare away all the girls that could make you feel jealous. Haven't you noticed that the only girls beside me are our close friends? "

Natsume's accusation finally made Mikan really irritated. She was surprised that her boyfriend would actually think that she would get jealous too. Now he's also saying that the only reason why she isn't getting jealous is because she had no threat to be.

"That's not true Natsume. I can honestly tell you that I would be fine even if all of your crazy fan girls start chasing you around. I couldn't care less." Mikan then said annoyed.

"Is that so?" Natsume said narrowing his eyes "I'd like to see you try."

"Please, I don't need to try" Mikan replied.

With Mikan's reply Natsume then continued to stare at Mikan for some time. He was obviously thinking some things over. It was only after some while till he finally stirred. "Well, if you're so sure about that then how about we test that out?" he said breaking the silence.

"Psshh….you don't need to bother testing me." Mikan said while rolling her eyes "I can assure you that I'm fully jealous and over protective proof."

"If that is so…then you have no problem with taking a test to prove me wrong" Natsume said. Mikan then rolled her eyes towards Natsume's suggestion.

"If it will let you sleep well at night then sure. I would love to see your face when I show you how wrong you were" Mikan then said and she even managed to smirk while saying this.

"Oh so we're being over confident are we?" Natsume said "If that's so then you don't mind if we turn it into a bet will you?" Natsume said clearly enjoying these exchanges of words. He was especially amused that Mikan's acting so clever and even trying to annoy him.

"Fine by me." Mikan said with complete and full confidence.

"How about whoever loses will do the chores of the winner" Natsume said

"Hah! Good luck cleaning my room and doing my one star duties." Mikan said gloatingly "Oh and you can even help tutor me while you're at it"

"We'll see. So, if I don't get you jealous and over protective over the week than I lose but if I do get you acting like that then I win" Natsume said to clarify it all. "Deal?"

"Deal" Mikan said with no doubt heard at all in her voice "As long as you don't end up kissing or flirting with another girl on purpose."

The next day Mikan actually woke up early so that she can rush to her friends and tell them about the bet she made with Natsume. Once she entered the classroom she quickly located her friends and skipped towards them. She greeted them a hello and waited for her to bring it up. Not being able to find an opening for what she was about to say she then simply jumped up and down till one of them gave up and asked Mikan what was up. Mikan pretending like what she had to say was nothing. Although after many more signs that Mikan 'subtly' gave them they 'badgered' her to tell them what was up then all of a sudden she exploded and told everything to her friends.

"So let me get this right" Anna then said after processing what Mikan said. Being a friend of Mikan can be really hard at times since sometimes you can't understand what's she's saying. "You made a bet with Natsume about you not getting jealous and overprotective"

"Yeah" Mikan then said happily. She just can't wait till this bet is over with and seeing Natsume cleaning her room and doing odd jobs.

"The Natsume Hyuuga" Nonoko asked incredulously

"Yeah! Isn't that great! Finally I'm going to show him. He acts as if he knows everything. I can't wait to see the smirk on his face wiped away" Mikan said oblivious to the fact that Anna, Nonoko and Yuu had nervous faces.

"Mikan?" Yuu then asked shifting his eyes to Mikan and back to Anna and Nonoko who were urging him to continue. "We think you should call off this bet."

With Yuu's words Mikan's face immediately changed into surprise. Here she thought her friends would agree with her and laugh about it. "Why?" Mikan asked

"Well…" Yuu continued "It's just…"

"You're going to lose" said Hotaru who surprisingly spoke. Mikan was shocked because she didn't even think her best friend was even listening. Hotaru was busily reading a book when she arrived and it seemed as if she didn't even bother to look up when she spoke. It was as if her eyes were glued to the book.

"And why is that?" Mikan asked her best friend. Now she was annoyed, even her best friend said that she would lose.

"It's pretty obvious." Hotaru continued "It's Natsume Hyuuga. Natsume Hyuuga doesn't lose in a fight when he's actually interested in it. It was a loss from the very start ever since he made that bet with you, as long as it's Natsume who you're up against then you're doomed."

Mikan was now irritated with her friends. It's as if they have no faith at all. Well, she's going to have to prove them wrong. She knows deep down that it's not true. No way is she going to lose this fight now that the odds were against her. Now she can prove them all that they were wrong. "You guys go think that" Mikan then said with as much confidence as she can muster "I will prove all of you wrong" she said loudly and brightly causing her friends to look at her and even making Hotaru look up from her book.

That's when Mikan heard the sound of squeals coming from outside the door. The squeals were incoherent except for some words which happened to be a name. This name obviously alerted everyone who was the person that created this squealing. Mikan prepared as the name "Natsume" was called out even more. It was getting closer and sure enough Natsume would enter the room. Mikan straightened out, put a smile on and took a deep breath. She would be ready for what lay behind that door.

There a crack finally opened revealing Natsume. The thing was Natsume wasn't alone. Right behind him were his scary and intimidating fans composed of two girls. Wait a minute only two girls! When Mikan noticed this she laughed out loud then exclaimed to Natsume.

"This is it!!" Mikan said "Two girls! You're saying that two girls can make me jealous. Well good luck with that Natsume."

The thing was Natsume didn't seem to care he simply sat down and put his manga on his face to sleep. The thing was the girls didn't leave. Mikan thought it felt kinda awkward because these two girls were gawking at Natsume while she was right beside him.

'Who would gawk at a boy with the girlfriend right beside him? Honestly, these girls have no moral code or anything.' Mikan thought as she was annoyed with them. She didn't like the way that they were blushing and giggling continuously. 'Do they have any shame? It's not as if giggling will get them somewhere'

Mikan was about to say something when a voice spoke up. This ended up shocking her since she it belonged to none other than Natsume.

"I thought you would have given more of a fight polkadots. Giving up already?" Natsume said. It turns out that Natsume lifted his manga to check on Mikan's reaction. Once he noticed that Mikan was giving the girls looks of dislike and that she even opened her mouth to say something he immediately stopped her. He was going to have fun with this bet and he just wouldn't let Mikan finish it right away.

"I was not jealous. Honestly, I don't fall into jealousy and over protectiveness like you do." Mikan shouted angrily. For some reason she wasn't in a good mood. She just didn't feel like having Natsume's comments right now. It also doesn't help that these fan girls are here to listen to their talk right now.

"Sure sure" Natsume said teasingly. He then flashed Mikan a smirk to which she replied with her sticking out her tongue at him. Before Natsume could turn back to his sleep one of the fan girls spoke up.

"Um…Mr. Natsume?" the fan girl asked worriedly as she clutched onto the other fan girl's arm. "I was just wondering if you would answer some questions." The girl said this while shutting her eyes tight. She was getting prepared for the pain of the fire Natsume would usually conduct. Sometimes it would be on her hair, her skirt or even somewhere near the skin. The good thing is that Natsume never lets it go as far as causing burns. What surprised the girl was that the fire never came. Instead she simply saw Natsume with the manga on his face once again.

The girl then looked at the one who she was clutching for dear life on. They both exchanged incredulous looks. It seemed as if it something was indeed wrong. Normally they wouldn't even be able to enter the classroom in the first place. Now all of a sudden Natsume's not burning them. There must be something up and they might as well take advantage of it.

Sadly before the girls could test it out even more the bell rung and they needed to get back to their class. They just can't wait to go to their class and tell everyone about the new adventure they had today. They also can't wait to check out if it will continue to stand up to tomorrow. This way in the end they can finally get to bond with their most loved Natsume. Before they left the girls said "Bye Natsume! See you later" in a cute and happy way. Obviously too happy for a certain brunette, she just didn't like the tone of those girls, not one bit.

Ruka who was observing the whole thing beside Natsume was chuckling. He knew that something was sure to happen. In fact even though he knew it might be mean he might enjoy watching what would happen to Mikan, alongside with Natsume.

Mikan on the other hand just for some reason felt warm in the face as she walked back to where her friends were. She couldn't understand though. She felt perfectly fine when she woke up. Maybe she caught a cold or something. "Uhh…Yuu" Mikan turned to Yuu "Do I feel warm to you?" she said grouchily

Yuu just sighed and simply said "Mikan you're not sick."

"What?!?!" Mikan asked and said it a little too loudly "What do you think is wrong with me huh?" she said almost at shouting point already.

Yuu cowered at Mikan's sudden shouting. It was sudden and obviously would frighten anyone. "Um…Mikan" Yuu finally got the courage to say as he took a deep breath "You…aren't sick because this is a different sign. It's more like a sign of suppressed anger."

"And what is that supposed to mean!!!" Mikan said even louder now catching the attention of people within the radius. This of course annoyed the inventor who hates such distractions.

"Stop taking it out on the president would you?!?!" Hotaru said as she dropped her book and got ready to bring out her Baka gun. "It means that you were getting jealous but because you stupidly would not admit it the anger inside of you built up. In the process such emotions were shown on your annoying face!" Hotaru said releasing her irritation. After her explanation she then breathed out deeply to try to calm herself down.

Mikan on the other hand was being affected by what Hotaru said. Could it be possible that she, Mikan Sakura actually was feeling jealousy for what Natsume was doing? Is it possible that it indeed was a wrong idea to join this bet in the first place? Oh no! She's doomed.

Anna who was watching at Mikan's reaction pitied her and decided to help her by encouraging her by a little. She couldn't help her fully though. The last time she tried to "help" Mikan's relationship with Natsume it turned out not so pretty (check Wild and Unbridled Passion). Another reason was because it wasn't wise to get caught up in a side against Natsume.

"Look Mikan…" Anna said as she was patting Mikan's back in her effort of comforting her. "Just keep your head. If you feel jealous just try to keep it for the week. It's only one week and it's only two girls. No problem. Just imagine the prize. Just think, Natsume wrong, doing your work and you will finally show him. Just don't quit" Anna said this to her with support in her voice but truthfully she had a doubtful feeling about this.

"You know what?" Mikan said now look much happier than a moment ago "You're right. I can hold up for a whole week. I mean what's the problem with two girls. Imagine, I can win this and finally be the winner for once. I won't be the wrong one! I can take them on and finally get what I've been wanting for so long, Victory over Natsume!"

"You know what Mikan?" Hotaru said as she rolled her eyes "It seemed that you just practically repeated Anna. She said this then went back to her book.

"I'll show you Hotaru!" Mikan started shouting "I'm not going to take this! I will win against my boyfriend for once!"

"I see that you're still suppressing your feelings up to now." Hotaru simply said this while flipping her page.

Natsume and Ruka who were able to hear some of what the group said simply looked at each other. Both of them started chuckling. "Honestly Natsume, at this rate I really don't know what to expect from your relationship anymore. Whatever it is? It's going to be entertaining." Ruka said after their laughing session.

"I'm just going to enjoy this as much as I can too." Natsume simply said as he was still eyeing his girlfriend who was still bickering with her best friend a little too loudly.

When classes ended Mikan was so happy. It was the end of the day and that means only 6 days left of this bet. She wouldn't have to suffer if the other days ended as fast as this. Not to mention she didn't even see those two girls the whole day. The thing was who really cares. They are after all just two girls what's the worst they can do?

As Mikan was walking she was soon joined by the group. Natsume was even there walking beside Mikan and spoke to her. "You seem extremely happier than usual." was all Natsume said

"That's because I can't help but feel overjoyed of how this bet will turn out. I know it in my bones that I'll win." Mikan simply gloated towards Natsume.

"Is that so Mikan?" Yuu asked unsurely

"Yes! I'm sure!" Mikan said "Two girls won't be a bother at all. Right Anna?"

Anna who was just calmly walking almost stumbled. She was worried because now Natsume would know that Mikan got that idea from her. Anna who was worried decided to check Natsume's expression. She relaxed once she saw that he was calm looking. With that Anna simply sighed and replied uneasily "yeah".

Mikan was jumping for joy "Just 6 days with two girls to handle. What can be better?" They were walking towards the doors of the building when they suddenly heard lots of chattering. It was getting louder and louder as they went closer to the door.

"Huh?" Nonoko asked "What's that?"

All of them weren't prepared for what they saw next. Even Natsume and Hotaru were shocked by its appearance. There in front of them was a huge crowd. It was as if it were almost half of the school's population. It was buzzing. Once they fully went out the door for some reason the place erupted with shrills and screams.

'Hold on…' Mikan thought 'Screams? Girl screams?' It was then the whole group found out that the massive crowd was composed of girls.

"Why…why are there so many girls here" Mikan asked stunned

"Even I don't know why?" Yuu said with his eyes widened. In fact everybody's eyes were widened by this amazing amount of females, screaming crazily.

"Is it possible there is a famous person visiting that we didn't know about?" Ruka suggested.

"Could be?" Nonoko said as she was too stunned to think of other possibilities.

Before anyone could suggest anything, realization hit the group when they realized that the crowd of girls was now shouting out something. It was incoherent since many girls were saying it at different times. It took some time until it was understood by the group.

"It can't be!" Mikan said after gasping and clasping hands on her mouth.

"How could there be so much?" Anna said as realization sinked in.

"I couldn't imagine that they would be this much" Ruka said as the word was as clear as crystal. They were all shouting the same word. That word happened to be a name, Natsume.

"So…Anna." Hotaru said "Two people huh?" Sadly Anna was still too stunned to speak. In fact most of the group didn't feel like talking with this new discovery made.

"Tch" Natsume finally said as he looked at the massive crowd "Ruka…I'm afraid we're going to have to call your eagle to make it out of here alive."
