Chapter 3: The Little Natsume

Disclaimer: GA is not mine. Only in my dreams... hehe..

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.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Na-Natsu...me? Is that really you?" Mikan asked, still shock at the scene in front of her eyes.

"Yeah I am, idiot!" Natsume said, still angry.

"B-but why? H-how did u become... a 5 year old kid?"

"That's what I want to know, idiot! Did you turn me into a kid like this?!"

"No, of course not! I don't have any ability to do that! I don't have powers to do that! In fact, I don't know anything how you became like this!"

"Polka, did u give me something last night?" Natsume asked, curious. He started to find the reasons he became a kid.

"H-huh?" Mikan, shocked. "Hmm... I think I just gave you a medicine to low down your fever..."

"Where is that medicine?" Natsume inquired.

"O-on my dresser..." Mikan pointed. Natsume dashed to her dresser and fetch the medicine. Mikan followed him. He examined the pills inside the bottle. He noticed that the bottle had no label. "Polka dots..." he called her.

"What is it?"

"Why is this bottle has no label? Where did you get this medicine?"

"I... got it from Nonoko-chan..." Mikan recalled back from last night she got the medicine from Nonoko.

"How come she gave you the wrong medicine?"

"N-no, she didn't give me the wrong medicine! She told me to get it from her shelf, since she was very sick, and I picked it in a hurry..."

"I didn't realize it had no label..." she added, rubbing her head in guilty. She plastered her smile on her face, looking innocent.

"This is no time to be smiling, idiot," Natsume began to understand the situation. Then he got an idea.

"Oi, bring me to that girl's place," he said.

"For what? What are you trying to do? Burn her?" Mikan asked in horror, imagining after Natsume met her, he instantly burn Nonoko to ashes. "NNNooo! Don't!! I know that you'll burn her!" she shrieked.

"Shut up, idiot. I'm not going to burn her. I would if I want to. I just want her to give me a medicine to change me back to usual 15 years old," he explained. His eyes from fury, returned to normal.

"O-oh... so that's what you meant..." she said, laughing nervously. "Seriously, I thought she's gonna burn her... well, judging from Natsume's personality..." she thought to herself, glancing at Natsume, who still looking at the medicine.

Suddenly she remembered something. "Hey Natsume... but what about if other people see you in this state, especially Ruka-pyon? And the others? What are you going to do?"

Natsume fell silent for a while. He admitted that Mikan got a point there.

"Natsume?''

"Hmm... I think I have to make a disguise..." finally he spoke.

"Disguise? How? You don't have any other clothes you want to wear!"

"Stupid girl, I'll just borrow yours for a while. Do you still have your old clothes back in your childhood days? Though I don't want to do this..."

"I think so... what are you going to do with them?" she asked. (sigh... Mikan is still an idiot after all)

Natsume sighed. "It's for the disguise, you idiot! Get me some of your clothes, NOW!" he demanded, like a head soldier. His twitching anger getting bigger by seconds.

Mikan hurriedly went to her cupboard, and search thoroughly for her clothes when she was a kid. After 10 minutes, she found them in a small box. "Here there are!" she exclaimed happily.

"Took you long enough," Natsume muttered.

"Hey, at least say thank you that I offered to help you!" Mikan whined.

"Since when did you offer me? I was the one who tell you to search those of your darn clothes for me!"

Mikan 'hmphed' in defeat. She agreed to Natsume secretly.

Natsume took out Mikan's clothes and stared at them. He stared at them long enough. His hands trembled. His facial expression couldn't be seen because of his bangs.

"Natsume? Are you okay? You have been quiet for a while now," Mikan asked, trying to take a look at him. Just then, her clothes were thrown in front of her face.

"Hey!! What's that for!" she yelled, removing the clothes from her face and held them in her hands.

"How could you expect me to wear this junk!?" Natsume said, his right brow twitching. Hands on his hips. Mikan's childhood clothes were an orange shirt with yellow laces at the bottom, matching with its long blue trousers.

"Eh? But I thought it look good on you!" she whined.

"Well, it's not! Give me another set of your clothes," he demanded again.

"Natsume sure is picky," she thought in exasperation. "Unfortunately, these are the only clothes I mistakenly took them with me 5 years ago. I have no other clothes other than this," she said, smirking. Her eyes filled with evil intentions...

Natsume panicked a little. But he hid it well. "So, I have no other choice huh?" he sighed.

"Don't worry, you'll look cute!" Mikan beamed, shoving the clothes to Natsume. Natsume grunted.

"Don't call a man 'cute'," he said, blushing a little, starting to wear Mikan's clothes. Of course, Mikan didn't notice the blush.

"Ehhh?? But why? Now you look like a 5 year old, there's no mistake that you look cute. People can't say you're 'handsome' while you're in this state."

"So, you think I'm handsome and cute, huh?" he smirked.

Mikan, noticed what she said earlier, blushed furiously. She avoided Natsume's gaze. "What? I never said that! Just forget what I said,"

"Too bad, I can't seem to forget what polka dots said," his smirk grew wider. He really enjoyed playing with Mikan. He already finished wearing Mikan's clothes.

Mikan blushed harder. She decided to change the topic. "A-are you done?" she asked, turning to look at Natsume. Her eyes widened. Then she exclaimed. "Sugoi!!!!! You look really cute!!" she totally forgot about this thing just now. She pulled Natsume's left hand and bring him in front of her big mirror. Natsume looked at himself in the mirror in disgust.

"See? You look gorgeous!" she smiled happily and held Natsume's shoulders.. Natsume just blushed (again). But still held onto disgusted expression.

"Hmph! I look like a girl here..." he said, turning away.

"Who cares? No one will notice you, except me!"

"Whatever. I think we should move now."

"Wait a sec. I want to wash my face first."

Mikan quickly went to the bathroom and washed her face. Then she brushed her teeth at high speed. Then she quickly adjusted her school uniform. (Since she didn't take her bath last night and she still wearing her school uniform) She did her ponytails again nicely. After that she dashed out of her bathroom immediately.

"Okay, time to go to Nonoko-chan's place!" she proceeded to her door.

Natsume just sighed, following her from behind.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Nogi Ruka woke up due to his alarm clock ringing loudly. He yawned lazily coz still felt sleepy. He crawled up from under his covers. This action woke up his pet bunny too. "Good morning, Usagi," he greeted, smiling. Usagi just yawned and went back to sleeping again.

Ruka went to his bathroom doing morning basis; brushing teeth and washing his yet still sleepy face. He took his towel and wiping his face. Then he stepped out from the bathroom, smile plastered on his face. "This morning is yet another usual morning! Ahh... I feel so refreshed..." he said to himself. He put on his school uniform.

He made himself a breakfast. His pet bunny woke up again as the sweet aroma entered his pink nose. He smelled the air. He spotted Ruka eating a bread with jam and went to jump on his lap, wanting a bit of the bread too.

"Huh, you want some too? Okay here you go," Ruka said and torn the end of the bread. Usagi sniffed the bread hungrily and eat it. (do rabbits eat bread? nah just say they eat other than carrots too hehe)

Ruka quickly finished eating his breakfast. He was planning to wait for his best friend to go to school together. He went out of his room with his pet bunny in his hands. He walked along the corridor for 5 minutes and stopped in front of Natsume's room.

"Natsume, let's go to school together," he said, calling at the door. He got no respond after that. Usually he got Natsume's respond after he called at his door. This time he knocked.

"Natsume? You haven't woke up yet? That's pretty unusual of you," Ruka chuckled.

Still he got no answer from Natsume. "Oi, Natsume?"

Ruka gave up and turned the doorknob. The door opened a little. Ruka was surprised. He wondered if Natsume forgot to lock his door. He peaked through the door, eyes looking for the sign of Natsume. He saw that Natsume was still asleep on his bed, still with blanket over him. Ruka chuckled.

"Haha...you're still asleep?" He walked slowly to Natsume's bed. He shook Natsume's body a little. Natsume didn't even stir the slightest bit. Ruka panicked. "Oi Natsume! What happened to you!"

He pulled away the blanket and covers and he saw...

A DOLL?

Yup, a doll.

A doll that looked like Natsume. A doll that had short raven-colored hair and the doll's face that looked just like Natsume, except for eyebrows, that thicker than the real Natsume's. (where did he get the doll?)

"Natsume... are you pulling a joke on me? Where are you, Natsume!" Ruka took the doll and slammed it on the floor, a bit angry at his friend, playing a joke at the time like this. Then he quickly dashed out of the room, looking for Natsume.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"So, that's how it was..." said Nonoko, sitting on her chair. Natsume and Mikan sat on her bed.

"You mistook the bottle as a medicine for fever..." Mikan nodded, feeling guilty.

"Yeah, do you have any medicine that can turn me back into a 15 year old?" Natsume asked.

"Actually, I have experimented the chemicals on three white mice, and they shrunk. The real thing is I want to make a chemical for Anna-chan for her weird cooking. She said she needed my help for a better ingredient, and I helped her. She asked me to make a chemical to put into one of her cookings. And I accidentally made the pills that can make people shrink, not only their size, but their age, too. But their personalities and mentality remain same. Just the body and age," she said, sighing. She massaged her right temple.

"And I haven't find a way to make chemicals that change people back to original," she added.

"So... I have to stay a kid like this??" Natsume said, calmly. He didn't want others to know that he actually not calm. Mikan gasped.

"This is all my fault..." Mikan said, her voice cracked a bit. Natsume noticed this. Mikan eyes were now teary. "It's really my fault!" she sobbed. Nonoko comforted her. Natsume stared at her, feeling pity for her.

"Don't worry, polka dots. I'll... try to wait for Arusegawa(is this Nonoko's family name? tell me if it's wrong) making a new chemical," Natsume said.

"Natsume..." Mikan looked at him, eyes still teary.
