Chapter 5
Meanwhile, at Central Town, somewhere near the park, someone was making a loud, irritating cry that drives two people crazy for the past hour
"Come on Yuu! Calm down! Don't cry!"Natsume said
"Yuu! Look! Here's a teddy! Please stop crying!"Mikan was about to cry as well
"I don't understand! Yuu was okay a few minutes ago and suddenly he started crying!"Natsume said
Flashback
Mikan looks so excited when she ordered her favorite, besides howalons, a strawberry parfait. Natsume just sipping his glass of water and then reads his manga while Yuu is staring at the family across them. He saw the baby giving his partial dessert to his parents and they look so happy, which made Yuu jealous again.
"Here you go kids! Enjoy!" said the friendly waitress
"Yum! Strawberry Parfait!"Mikan happily eats her parfait with tears of joy in her eyes. While Yuu took a bite of his egg pudding
"Is the egg pudding delicious Yuu?"Natsume asked
Yuu gaved Natsume a thumbs up. Then he took a scoop of his egg pudding and gives it to Natsume.
"You want me to take it...fine"Natsume took a bite of Yuu's pudding and made Yuu happy.
'Natsume is unusually nice today'Mikan blushes.Then, Yuu took another scoop of his pudding and this time he gives it to Mikan.
"W-what? You want me t-to t-t-take it?"Mikan blushes. Yuu nodded with a smile.
'Oh no! Yuu is giving me a bite of his pudding! And Natsume used that spoon! GROSS! If I took it, is like I'm kissing Natsume!Oh dear, Natsume's looking! Okay, relax Mikan...Its just a piece of egg pudding! Nothing else! Never mind about the spoon!Ooooh! I can't take it!' Mikan thought
"Yuu, I think Mikan is feeling full. Since, you saw her eat like a masticated pig a few minutes ago."Natsume said
"No, I don't eat like a masking, dated pig whatever it is! I'm sure its something insulting!"Mikan said
"If you ate your parfait infront of the mirror, you can see your snout smothered with ice cream"Natsume said
Yuu took the bite that was meant for Mikan. Mikan and Natsume continues to argue with each other and Yuu can't take it anymore.
"You IDIOT!"Mikan and Natsume said to each other
So he...
"WAAAAH!! sniff, sniffWAAAAH!"Yuu cried really hard and loud
"Yuu, what's the matter?"Mikan and Natsume said in unison
End of flashback
"Hey! Yuu! Look at the funny face!"Mikan made a funny face, which is not funny for Baby Yuu and made him cry even harder
"Now look what've you done, you scared the hell out of him!"Natsume exclaimed
"I was trying to make him laugh!"Mikan exclaimed
"Yeah right, with that ugly face of yours! Don't make me laugh!"Natsume said
"I'm not trying to make you laugh!"Mikan said
Both of them looked at the crying baby and suddenly, the feeling of guilt tingled their minds
"Look, we're going nowhere if we keep this up" Natsume said
"You're right... so what should we do then?"Mikan asked
Baby Yuu suddenly stopped crying and look at the couple with their baby again. Natsume and Mikan notices Yuu staring at the family across the table from them. Natsume paid the cashier, and Mikan carried Yuu in her arms and they took a stroll around Central Town.
Meanwhile, the two classes gathered around outside of the elementary school campus and was each given a colored group. Ruka's group has the blue schroll, but it doesn't matter for them because they know that their main priority is to buy the supplies and make the antidote.
"Okay students, each one of you has a colored schroll and you need to find the clues for you to solve the mystery given in the schroll. You 're given two hours to finish, so, MOVE IT!" Mr. Jinno raised his voice, which made the students scared and ran away.
"Okay! Anna, Nonoko, go now! Hotaru, Yo-chan, search for Natsume, Mikan and Yuu! Me and Koko will stay here and read the schroll" Ruka commanded.
They split up according to plan. Anna and Nonoko rushed to the market where they usually buy their materials, not noticing that they've past Mikan and Natsume.
"Natsume, you know, I feel so ashamed. Instead of taking care of Yuu properly and having a good time, we just argue with each other"Mikan said with a sad face
"You're right...I'm sorry about what I've said earlier"Natsume apologized
"That's okay..I know you're like that, and I guess, I'm still not used to your attitude, I'm sorry too"Mikan apologized
"Truce Mikan?"Natsume raised his pinky to Mikan
"Truce!"Mikan linked her pinky to Natsume's and shook it. Yuu noticed the expression of the two and he smiled
"Let's go buy some Howalons! My treat!" Natsume grabbed Mikan's left hand and they ran together to the Howalon store.
Meanwhile, Hotaru and Yo-chan were at the Howalon store
"Big sister Hotaru, they're not here"Yo-chan said
"You're right, I guess they're at the Sakura tree..Let's go Yo-chan"Hotaru and Yo-chan hold each others hands and rushed off to the Sakura Tree, without knowing that Natsume and Mikan just arrived to the Howalon store.
Back to Ruka and Koko, they're analyzing the blue schroll, until...
"Mr. Nogi and Mr.Yome, what are you two still doing here? Aren't you suppose to be searching for the clues along with your teammates"Mr. Jinno said suspiciously.
"Oh, well, Mr. Jinno, we've just planned earlier how to find the clues, so it's much easier for us to solve the mystery!"Ruka said nervously
"In just two minutes?"Mr. Jinno asked suspiciously
"Um, Mr. Jinno sir, its just so happens that Koko is also a fast thinker, besides reading minds, hehehe.."Ruka lied.
Mr. Jinno stared at the two boys for a while and then, "I'll keep an eye on you" he said, then he walked away.
"Good liar skills Ruka!"Koko complimented
"Okay, we're having a bit of a problem Koko"Ruka said
"I know, Mr. Jinno is getting suspicious, what should we do?"Koko said
"Let's just wait for them. I hope they'll hurry up! I can't bare the tension that I'm feeling right now"Ruka said nervously.
Back to Anna and Nonoko, they've bought the supplies and ran fast, back to their lab until Nonoko spotted Mikan, Natsume and Yuu at the park.
"Anna, is that Mikan and Natsume over there at the park?" Nonoko asked
"I'm not sure Nonoko, now come on! We still have an antidote to finish!"
"But I'm sure that's them. Look, at the boy, he's gorgeous like Natsume"
"No way! Natsume smiling like that?!"Anna said
"Remember, they ate the gelatin"
"I'm sure Hotaru and Yo-chan will find them soon so, let's go! We're running out of time!"
"Okay...If you say so" Nonoko said and they ran off
Meanwhile, Natsume and Mikan were sitted together on the bench, looking at Baby Yuu, playing on the sandbox.
"Yuu looks so cute"Mikan said
"Yeah"Natsume replied
"Is like he's really our own son"Mikan waved her hand as Yuu waved his hand back
"You know what Mikan"Natsume said
"What is it Natsume?"
"You look amazing "Natsume smiled
"Oh Natsume! Don't flatter me!"Mikan said and pushed Natsume really hard, then Natsume fell down
"Oh! I'm Sorry about that! I guess I didn't know about my own strength!"Mikan apologized
"iths ohkray!" Natsume said
