Chapter 9 Jealousy snapped

Mikan was preparing to sleep now and thought "What was that just now?" Mikan said blushing. I felt like my stomach is churning upside down. What is this?" Mikan thought clutching her heart which is beating fast.

Mikan thought and smiled 'Oh just forget about that. It's just nothing I guess.'

She already fell into a deep slumber.

At Natsume's house

Natsume was just lying on his bed and put his hand on his forehead 'That girl is so clumsy.' Natsume said and smiled.

On the next day

"See you later Mi-chan." Narumi said waving at Mikan who was going outside for school. "Oh and here don't forget to give this to Natsume. It's a chocolate chips with strawberries." Narumis said handing her a pack with a ribbon on it.

"Ok. I'm going now dad!" Mikan said walking off and calling her cousins.

"Ohayo gozaimasu Nobara-chan." Mikan said pinching Nobara's cheeks. "Your so kawaii." Mikan said smiling.

"Wahh Mikan-nee stop it.." Nobara said laughing.

"You seems so happy idiot." Youichi said looking at Mikan.

"Yeah he's right. Tell us what happen?" Nobara said looking curious.

Oh nothing did happen..I'm always happy." Mikan said smiling at them.

"How did it go with Hyuuga-kun?" Nobara said

"Oh I just realize that the jerk is a nice guy." Mikan said grinning.

"You know Hyuuga?" Youichi said

"Yeah he's my classmate you know." Mikan said

"You like him don't you?" Youichi said and smirked.

"No I don't. He's not my type at all." Mikan said closing her eyes and crossing her arms. But you can see that there is a tinge of pink in her cheeks.

"Well Natsume is my friend too. Maybe it'll be good if you dated him. He's the most popular guy in school and he's very rich. What can you ask for?" Youichi said putting his arms on the back of his head.

"I don't care about looks and wealth you know." Mikan said puffing her cheeks out at Youichi.

"But to tell you the truth Onee-chan. You and Hyuuga-kun suit each other." Nobara said laughing and teasing her cousin.

"Not you too Nobara-chan." Mikan said bowing her head down. "Well he already have this love team and let you guys remember this I will never fall for Hyuuga. Hmph." Mikan said quickening her pace and pouting.

"H-HAI." Youichi and Nobara said scared at making her angry at them.

'but I know that you will fall for him onee-chan." Nobara thought and chuckled.

It was until they reached their school and was greeted by their friends.

"Hey Mikan-nee I will introduce you later to Aoi-chan. She said she wants to meet you." Nobara said before entering her class.

"Alright." Mikan said and thought about it 'Why does she want to meet me?"

"Hey I will escort you to your room because I need to talk with Hyuuga." Youichi said

"O-Okay." Mikan said stuttering.

Mikan and Youichi already arrived in Mikan's class.

'Okay no need to pretend now.' Mikan said and take a deep breath then entered the classroom.

"Ohayo Gozaimasu minna-san!" Mikan said smiling a big smile catching the attention of her classmates especially the boys.

Everybody greeted her except for Natsume, Hotaru, Permy and Luna.

"Ohayo Hotaruuuu!" Mikan said running towards Hotaru and was about to hug her. But as expected she was shot by her hyper baka gun.

"Whats up with you idiot?" Hotaru said looking bored but deep inside she was really happy 'I'm glad that you're showing up you true self Mikan.'

"Mouuu…your so mean.!" Mikan said showing anime tears.

Ruka came up to Mikan's side and helped her stood up.

"Are you okay Sakura-san?" Ruka ask worried about her.

"Yes. Thanks Ruka-pyon." Mikan said flashing him a cute smile.

Ruka blushed so hard at this and said "Ru-ru-ruka-pyon?"

"Hai since you like rabbits right?" Mikan said "Can I call you that it suits you, you know?" Mikan said showing her puppy dog eyes.

"H-hai..I think it's cute Sakura-san." Ruka said blushing.

"Mouu..stop calling me Sakura-san. You're my friend now so just call me Mikan." Mikan said inching her face to her. "Okay?"

"H-hai Sa..Mikan" Ruka said looking away.

"YEY! Thanks Ruka-pyon." Mikan said holding Ruka's hand and jumping in joy.

Ruka just blushed at the contact of their hands. He stared at her and just smiled.

Everybody look at them and said "Wow so this is the real Sakura-san."

Some boys said "Awww she's even cuter when she's like this."

Others said "too bad she already belongs to Ruka."

Natsume just looked at them and clenched his fists. 'Polka dots never hold my hands and she was the one who suggest Ruka to call her by her name and she calls him with a nickname.' Natsume said looking away and just glared.

"What's wrong Natsume?" Koko said smiling as if reading his mind.

"Nothing." Natsume said and glared.

Mikan and Ruka already walked up to their seats.

Mikan looked at Natsume and take a deep breath forgetting what happened yesterday. "Ohayo gozaimasu Natsume!" Mikan said flashing a big smile at Natsume.

"hnn..tch." Natsume said looking away.

"What's with the bad attitude?" Mikan said pouting at him.

"Hn..I see that you likes Ruka. Don't you polka dots?" Natsume said smirking but there was anger on it.

"What? No I'm not." Mikan said frowning at him and blushing.

Ruka just looked at the two and said "Stop it Natsume. Don't pick a fight with Mikan." Ruka said and smiled.

"Whatever." Natsume said

"Oh I forgot Youichi is waiting for you outside. He said he wants to talk with you." Mikan said still frowning not looking at him.

"Hnn.." Natsume said and walk off.

Natsume saw Youichi waiting outside and said "What's up Youichi?"

"Well nothing really. Just take care of Mikan for me." Youichi said then walk off.

"Don't worry." Natsume said and smirked. 'I didn't know that Youichi really cares about her.' Natsume thought then returned back to his seat.

Mikan just looked at him and asked him what Youichi said to him. Natsume just shrugged and said nothing.

Mikan's mood changed so fast and remember the cookies that her father baked for Natsume.

"Hey maybe this would let you cool down." Mikan said handing him the cookies.

Natsume just blushed and take it. "What's this for?"

"My dad baked it for you, its chocolate chips with strawberries. It's also my gratitude for saying thanks to you for what happened last night." Mikan said looking down expecting him to be angry or giving it back to her.

Natsume just stared at her and show a small smile. "Arigatou.."

"Your welcome." Mikan said looking at Natsume.

"Wow Natsume you never take something from a girl before. Let us have some…." Koko said and was about to pick a cookie but Natsume just glared at him.

"No that's not right Koko . Mikan gave it to him." Yuu said sweating dropped.

"I'm sorry my dad only gives it to Natsume." Mikan said having a nervous smile and scratching the back of her head.

"You heard that." Natsume said and smirked.

"ihhhhhhhh…we have a new love team and its NatsuMikan" Natsume's friends continue to tease them.

"Ehhh?!" Mikan said "Stop it.." Mikan said blushing and stopping them.

"Hey everybody we already have our new love team its Natsumikan." Mochu said shouting it to everyone.

Everyone just tease them except for Luna and Sumire.

"That's crap." Luna said standing up and having her hands in her hips.

Everybody just stared at her waiting for her to say something.

"We all know in this school that Natsume and I is the perfect love team." Luna said smirking. "And I'm sure that Natsume is disgusted with that girl."

Luna walked up to Mikan and said "Stay away from Natsume you stupid ignorant girl." She glared at her.

"What?! I'm not doing anything. And how dare you mock me like that." Mikan said standing up. "You don't have the right to say that. I don't give a damn about your love team. All I want is being friends. I think reacting over something like this is being stupid. Why don't you just go out with him and be a couple? You can have that perfect love team of yours and he is all yours after all you and him are love team right?" Mikan said smiling but as if there are sadness in it.

Luna snapped out of it and was about to slapped Mikan who was about to cry because tears are threaten to fall in her eyes but Natsume caught her hand and glared at her.

"That's enough ugly hag. I'm even disgusted having a love team with you. We're no love team at all. And to tell you the truth I'm disgusted with that attitude of yours. I think that you're the one who's stupid here because you only after for my looks and money." Natsume said glaring daggers at her.

"Natsume you don't have to…" Mikan said interfering with them but Natsume stand in front of her as if protecting her.

"You can't do this to me!" Luna said yelling and her face was all red from anger.

"Just shut up freak!" Sumire said yelling at Luna. "You heard Natsume right? And I agree with him. You're more disgusting than Sakura-san. And you don't have the rights to say that to her because you and Natsume are not even a couple." Sumire said glaring at her and taking her seat.

"Not you too Sumire I thought you hate this girl?" Luna said glaring at Sumire.

"The one I hate is you ugly." Sumire said narrowing her eyes at her. 'And just then I even thought of having revenge to Sakura-san. But I think she's not a bad person at all. That's the way she is anyway. But still I will still see if she really is the one for Natsume and not me. I will gave her challenges.' Sumire thought having a small smile.

'Sumire is not bad at all.' Mikan thought smiling a little bit.

"Just go away Baka. If anyone hurts and make her cry you will face me." Hotaru said aiming her hyper baka gum at Luna.

"I hate you all!" Luna said storming away from the classroom.

"Thanks Natsume." Mikan said smiling at him but quite teary.

"Hnn.." Natsume said covering his blush with his bangs.

"But don't you think that Luna is hurt too..Oh my I shouldn't have said that…I thought you like her Natsume." Mikan said worried.

"Oh just shut up." Natsume said

"That serves her right since she only sees Natsume on what he have." Ruka said smiling at Mikan.

"Hmm but still I'm worried about her and on what she might do to me or Sumire and now she's angry with you" Mikan said looking down and was about to cry again.

"Don't cry. It doesn't suit you." Natsume said looking at her and stoping her tears with his finger. "Remember what I said yesterday 'That I will always protect you from now on." Natsume said looking away.

"Thank you so much…." Mikan said smiling "…Natsume" the way she called him is so gentle and full of emotions.

So Natsume just blushed and said "Hnn.."

"Now now..It's not your fault Mikan-chan. I will always be here for you too." Ruka said smiling at Mikan. 'I think Natsume likes Mikan too but I won't give up.'

"Thanks Ruka-pyon." Mikan smiled and came back to her cheerful state again.

"Are you okay now Idiot?" Hotaru said walking up to Mikan. You can see that she is very concern.

"I'm okay now Hotaru..Thanks for protecting me again." Mikan said smiling at Hotaru.

"I don't want to see you cry it irritates me I'm the only one who can make you cry." Hotaru showing a small smile.

"Mou..I know." Mikan said flashing a smile at Hotaru.

Misaki-sensei already came in and greeted his students. Everybody just go back on their seats and proceed with the lesson.

Classes went on until it was time for recess.

Mikan and the others have their lunch at the cafeteria.

"That was awesome Mikan-chan." Anna said amazed at what Mikan did earlier.

"Yeah Mikan that serves Luna right since she always bully the girls who are getting closer to Natsumeor confessing their love to him." Nono said munching with some food.

Hotaru was busy eating her favorite crabs. Mikan saw Sumire at the other side of the table.

"Just a minute guys." Mikan standing up and walking up to Sumire.

"Hey Shouda-san…" Mikan said catching Sumire's attention. "Uhmm…eto…anou..I'm sorry that Luna gets angry with you because of me.

"I don't give a damn about her." Sumire said looking away.

"Uhmm…thanks Shouda-san for what you did for me." Mikan said bowing down to Sumire.

"I did nothing." Sumire said and just shrugged.

"I know that you're a very nice person. Can I just call you Sumire?" Mikan said having a nervous smile.

"Just do whatever you want." Sumire said looking at Mikan but smiled a bit.

"Thanks permy!" Mikan said delighted.

"What's that?" Sumire said scaring her.

"I mean Sumire." Mikan said chuckling.

"But let you remember this. I will not go easy on you when it comes to Natsume or Ruka." Sumire said

"You don't need to. I'm just a friend to him and he's just a friend to me. We're all just friends. And I also want to be friends with you." Mikan said smiling at her.

Sumire just looked at her and walk off but wave her hand at Mikan.

It was already time for their classes so Mikan and the others already went to the classroom.

It was already time for English. Rina-sensei walked in to the classroom and greeted the class.

"So how was the activity I gave you yesterday? Did you all finish it?" Rina-sensei said putting her hands on her hips.

"Haiii!" Everybody said.

"Okay you can all pass you paper works." Rina-sensei said smiling at them.

Everyone pass their homeworks. The teacher scanned all their paper works and pick one.

"Let's all hear it from Mikan and Natsume." Rina-sensei said and handing them their paper works.

"Okay. This is Natsume's answer from all the questions we prepared together about love."

Mikan read out loud

"1. "What is love for you?"

"Love is a magic word that would make you feel so right."

"2. "What type of person do you hate?"

"Well the type of person I hate is childish, annoying, clumsy, dense and an idiot."

'That Natsume jerk..this is me on what he is talking about.' Mikan thought looked at Natsume puffing out her cheeks at him. Natsume just shrugged and stuck out his tongue annoying her more.

Everyone sweat dropped since it's like that they already knows who that is.

"3. Who is your first love?"

"I still don't have my first love.

"What?! You still don't have your first love…Awwww" the girls said except for Mikan and Hotaru

Some of them say "I thought it was me." Especially Sumire.

"4. What kind of person will you find your special first love?"

"Just a simple girl who treats me as who I am not because of my looks, money and wealth. I want a girl who will love me as who I' am and I will just let my heart beats for her.

The girls just giggled at that and have heart shaped in their eyes except the bestfriends.

"Okay it's Natsume's turn now." Rina-sensei daid gesturing Natsume to speak in front.

"This is what little girl said. " Natsume said and read.

"1. "What is love for you?"

"Love is something that you don't expect to come but you expect to feel."

"2. "What type of person do you hate?"

"I hate someone who has some nerve to piss me off, a conceited jerk, annoying, who irritates and tease me a lot."

Natsume just looked at Mikan and pretend to be angry with her. 'This is me she's talking about.'

Everybody in the class sweat dropped again and thinks on the same thing "They definitely hate each other…."

Some of them teased them saying "The more you hate the more you love."

'It seems that this two suits each other maybe I should always partner them from now on. Maybe they will realize something that they will not expect.' Rina-sensei thought chuckling.

"3. Who is your first love?"

"I still don't have my first love.

"Hontou nii?!!" All of the class said especially the boys.

"Hontou.."Mikan said smiling at them.

'I can't believe that Mikan still don't have her first love.' Ruka thought confused.

"4. What kind of person will you find your special first love?"

"I want someone who will make me feel so safe and secure, someone who I will trust, he will love me as who I 'am, protect me as if I'm a princess and he's my knight. He will be my inspiration and simple joy. And who will my heart grows fonder."

When Natsume said that Mikan was blushing.

'Oh so that what Mikan wants in a person. From now on I will try my best to show that to her.' Ruka said smiling at Mikan.

Mikan caught Ruka staring at her and she just smiled at him for that Ruka smiled back at her too.

And so everybody finished reading their paper works until it was already time for them to go home.

Mikan was fixing her things until Ruka came up to her.

"Hey Mikan do you mind if I walk you home?" Ruka said smiling but his face is red.

"Oh…I don't mind. Sure and I will introduce you to my cousin too." Mikan said smiling back.

"Ok. I will just wait for you outside then." Ruka said quickly catching up to Natsume.

"What was the Ruka?" Natsume said liikong bored.

"It's nothing." Ruka said smiling at Natsume.

"By the way I can't go home with you today." Ruka said

"Alright." Natsume said emotionless. 'What's with Ruka?" Natsume thought curiou but didn't show it.
