Chapter 2: OH MY GOD

Disclaimer: Gakuen Alice is not mine. But the story is...

Mikan had no other choice but to bring Natsume to her own room, since she didn't have his keys. She still had Natsume on her back in piggy-back ride. "What should I do? Should I let him stay in my room here? Ahhh!!!! Geez... forget bout that! I need to get him to rest for a bit!" Mikan laid him on her bed.

"God, he's heavy,"

Mikan began to wipe the sweats on Natsume's face and neck with a clean cloth. She unbuttoned his school coat. Next she took off his school shirt. Mikan gasped a bit. She saw some cuts and bruises on his bare chest. Both his shoulder had big cuts. The blood had already dried up. Some blood at the other place had not yet dry. So his white shirt got drained with blood. Oh yeah, his left cheek got a bit swollen.

"Was he fighting? Who was he fighting with?" Mikan wondered. Realization hit her. "Wh-why am I concerned? Mikan, you're such a big idiot! This is Natsume!" she scolded herself.

Mikan began bandaging his wounds from his lower stomach to his shoulders. She noticed Natsume's face was red and his forehead hot. "Must be a fever," she thought, feeling his forehead with her palm. She got up to get a small towel and a bucket of water. She squeezed the small towel with cold water and put it on his forehead. Satisfied with her work, she smiled a bit to herself. Natsume was now asleep.

"He looks peaceful when he's sleeping," standing, she pulled the blanket covers and covered Natsume with them. Suddenly Mikan thought of something.

"What if he doesn't get well tomorrow? Is it okay enough for him just sleeping and cooling himself with the small towel? What if he dies?" more random thoughts filled her head. "I need to go take him a fever medicine from Hotaru!" she dashed out of her room and closed her door. (Mikan is Mikan and she's being stupid after all)

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Meanwhile, Hotaru just got back from her lab and was preparing to go to sleep when she heard a knock at the door. "Who is it at this hour?" she thought. She proceeded to open her door and revealed her best friend. "What are you doing here?"

"I need a medicine for a fever. Do you have any?"

"Hmm... I don't know. Why? Are you having a fever?"

Mikan didn't know if she should tell the truth. "Well... yeah, I am having a fever." she forced a smile.

Hotaru eyed her friend suspiciously. Mikan sweat dropped.

"Come in. I'll check for it."

"Thanks."

After looking for the medicine, Hotaru found nothing. There's no more medicine left in her room. She had taken the last pill before Mikan came to the school.

"What?! You don't have anymore?? Don't you have one more single pill left or even other medicine suitable for fever?" Mikan wailed.

"I don't have anymore. I have taken the last pill last winter,"

"At this rate, he will die!!"

"HE?"

"Oops, gomen, gomen (sorry sorry)... I got carried away! Anyway, bye Hotaru!! Thanks a lot!"

Mikan quickly dashed out from Hotaru's room. Hotaru just stared at her retreating friend. "Something's coming up, I'm pretty sure. But I'm not going to miss this!" her eyes twinkled in anticipation and also her eyes became the sign of Japanese yen sign.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Mikan decided to stop by Nonoko's room to ask for the medicine. She knocked several times at her friend's door. Lastly, Nonoko opened her door. She looked pale for she's having a fever too, that's why she didn't come to class today.

"Nonoko-chan! Thank goodness!"

"Mikan-chan? Naze koko ni...? (Why are you here)"

"I need a fever's medicine! Hurry!"

"Eh? Why? Are you having a fever?"

"Well, yeah, sort of..."

"Well, you can get the medicine on the shelf over there besides my study table."

"Thank you very much, Nonoko-chan!!"

Nonoko nodded weakly. She went back to sleep.

Mikan quickly went to the shelf beside Nonoko's study table. She took one of them rather quickly and didn't even notice the bottle had no label. (I wonder what bottle is that?) Then she said thanks to Nonoko and shut the door softly.

Mikan raced back to her room and shut her door and panting heavily after all that running. (she's really quick, ne?) She slumped on the floor while still panting. She looked really tired. Wiping the sweat on her forehead with the back of her right hand, she got up to walk to Natsume. She took a glass of water and put it on her bedside table. Then she tried to hold Natsume up into a sitting position. Natsume woke up a little. Mikan took the glass of water and put it at his lips. "Here, drink this," she said, already putting the pill in the water. Natsume gulped the water with the medicine and went back to sleep again. "Whew... this is really tiring..." Mikan told herself. She took the towel and squeezed it again with more cold water and put it on Natsume's forehead.

She dragged a chair and sit beside Natsume. She stared at Natsume for a while to check any signs of him waking up or getting better. After a while, she yawned. She decided to take a little time to look at Natsume's features before going to sleep. She took every detail of his face. She played a bit with his hair. "His hair is very soft... like a girl's hair," she thought. She touched his face with her fingers, tracing his face, his nose, until she came to his lips. She looked at his lips quite long. "They look... soft... I-I wonder... what is it feels like to k-kiss him?" she didn't realize she thought bout those things.

Mikan got herself up a bit and neared her own face to Natsume's. She could feel Natsume's slow and steady breath on her own lips. Her lips are 2 centimeters away from his (oh she's taking advantage). Then she realized what she did. Her eyes widened. She quickly backed away from Natsume's face. Her heart beat furiously. Her face was now tomato red. "W-What am I thinking?! I was trying to kiss him!! I'm so stupid!!!" her mind screamed. She pulled her hair in frustration.

After a while calming herself, she decided to sleep next to Natsume at the edge of the bed. She put her head on her arm, facing Natsume's direction. After that she yawned sleepily. Her eyes closed and she's in her dreamland. She didn't even take a late shower.

The next day, Natsume woke up, earlier than Mikan. He rubbed his eyes a bit to clear his vision. He noticed the brunette sleeping soundlessly beside him at the edge of the bed. He smiled a little. She saw her sleeping, looking peaceful. Then he realized something. "What is she doing here?" he thought.

He noticed he wasn't in his room. "This room is... is it polka dot's room?"

He removed the covers and got up from the bed. He wanted to go back to his own room to get ready for school. He felt something strange. He looked at his school trousers bigger than he usually wear. Then he walked pass a big mirror. He noticed something different in the mirror.

His eyes widened in shock.

"W-What!!!!! This is not me!!! W-why?! My face, my body, my hands, my legs...!! This is NOT me!!" he whispered in panic. "How did I become like this?!"

Suddenly Mikan woke up.

"Natsume? Are you still okay? Is your fever going down?" she said as she rubbed her eyes. She noticed Natsume wasn't in her bed. "Natsume, where are you?" she asked and turning her head left and right.

Suddenly she caught sight of a kid. "Hmm?"

She stood up walked towards the kid. "Hey, what are you doing here? How did you come in here?"

The kid turned slowly towards her and looked up at her. His eyes filled with anger and dangerous aura.

Mikan stared into the kid's crimson eyes. "Kono ko wa (this kid)... Where did I see him before? He looked kinda familiar..." she thought as she stared deep into the crimson eyes.

Suddenly her loose pigtails caught on fire. She shrieked. "AAAAAHHH!!!!!" She quickly took the glass of half of water from last night and splashed herself. The fire is put out.

"What's the meaning of this!! You stupid brat!!" she yelled.

"You... what did you intend to do to me!" the kid asked her angrily, eyes burning in anger.

Mikan felt scared. She never felt this scared in her life. "W-What?"

"Are you deaf? I ask what did you fucking intend to do to me!" he repeated, adding the harsh word.

"I-I don't understand... and moreover... who are you?" Mikan looked terrified.

"Can't you tell just by looking?! Are you stupid enough than before? I'm Natsume! Hyuuga Natsume!!"

"Not only that, my voice changed too! Into a kid's voice! Now my body is the body of 10 years ago!" he added.

Mikan couldn't do anything. She just stared at him in horror. This day had become a history to her life and she wouldn't forget about this incident until her death.
