Chapter 22

It was then days go on, Mikan and Natsume was still shy to each other and none of them spoke something about what happened when they kissed. They wither spoke to each other when it is necessary but from that they on they stopped teasing and talk so much to each other.

It was already Thursday, November 9, the day before Aoi's Birthday.

Class ended as Aoi and Nobara approached Mikan and Hotaru in the campus whose already going home.

"Hey Mikan-nee! Do you know what day is it tomorrow?" Hotaru said putting on a big smile at Mikan and showing her puppy dog eyes as Nobara smiled at her.

Mikan decided to act that she doesn't know and put her finger under her chin. "Well…Is there any occasion tomorrow Aoi-chan?"

"Ehhhh??" Nobara said looking shocked at her cousin.

Aoi suddenly looked sad but then Mikan hugged her and put on a big gmile.

"Hahaha..got you of course I will never forget you're birthday Aoi-chan…" Mikan said giggling. "So there's nothing to be sad about.."

Aoi put on a big smile and laughed. "I thought you forgot Mikan-nee.."

"Hehehe I told you Aoi-chan…Mikan-nee didn't forgot your birthday.." Nobara said smiling.

"Hehe yeah…" Aoi said then looked at Hotaru and smiled. "You're also invited Hotaru-nee."

"Oh and you can also bring your friends too I've already tagged Anna and Nonoko-senpai…" Aoi said smiling at them.

"Oh ahehe that's great.." Mikan said jumping up and down.

"We'll just tell this to Enma and Nori. We're going to introduce you to them.." Hotaru said showing on a small smile.

"Oh by the way..What are going to wear Aoi?" Nobara said looking at Aoi.

"Well you any semi-formal dress is fine…" Aoi said smiling happily then nudged Nobara. "I've also invited you crush in our class…hehehehe.."

Nobara blushed at that and said "Ehh…..the guy with….with a messy blonde hair and blue-green eyes...the insane guy who always tease me…?"

"Yup the one and only…." Aoi said smiling in victory.

It was then Mikan and Hotaru pinched Nobara's cheeks.

"You don't even told me something about it Nobara-chan.." Mikan said puffing her cheeks.

"E-eh I don't even like that guy one bit. He always teased and after that he would just smile at me. That guy is a total idiot he always flashed this silly big smile and made fun of me." Nobara said looking angry but her face was really red.

"Yeah and you act so cold to him but you keep on blushing..I just wonder why is that? Don't tell me you have fever everyday…" Aoi said teasing and laughing at Nobara.

Then Hotaru showed something out and put it on Aoi's hand. It was a detector Machine.

"It says that you liked him since your heat level is connected to your hearts beats really fast." Hotaru said smirking at Nobara.

Nobara blushed so hard and sighed. "W-well slight…since so-sometimes he's very nice and a great help to me."

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa you did it Hotaru…..My Nobara-chan already likes someone.." Mikan said hugging Nobara. "And may I ask who that is?"

"We-well…h-his name is.." Nobara said stuttering then Hotaru interrupted her saying. "It's Fye Flowright…" She said smirking. "One of the most popular guy in this school, good in baking, the captain in kendo club for second year, and also have his rabid fan girls…" Hitaru said as she expained it to them with a stick and a board.

"Ohhh…." All of them said except for Nobara who was blushing with her head down.

"Yeah and that guy is also a friend of Onii-chan.." Aoi said smiling happily.

"That's good for you Nobara-chan…" Mikan said smiling at Nobara but then suddenly remembered something then blushed.

Then all of them laughed except for Hotaru who was staring at Mikan. 'This girl is hiding something from me. We'll see about that..'

It was then Ruka and Natsume came up to them with Natsume ruining Aoi's hair.

"Hey..Onii-chan stop it..you'll ruined my hair.." Aoi said fixing her hair.

Then Natsume glanced up to Mikan as she also looked at him. Their eyes met then they quickly looked away to each other as the both of them blushed.

"Hey what's up with you're blushing face Onii-chan?" Aoi said looking at her brother.

"No..I'm not blushing…" Natsume said as he continues to look away.

"Same as the idiot here.." Hotaru said with suspicious eyes to Mikan.

Mikan just looked down and shook her head.

'I wonder what happened between them..' Ruka thought a bit jealous.

Then Natsume shifted his eyes to Mikan's bag as he saw the dolphin and penguin keychain he gave to her. He smiled to himself as he thought about that.

It was also then Youichi tapped Mikan's head.

"Hey idiot…" Youichi said as Mikan stuck her tounge out at him. "That hurts you know.." Then Youichi avert his eyes to Aoi who has a little bit blush on her cheeks. 'How cute…'

"Hey Mikan-chan....." Ruka said as if telling something to Mikan.

"Yes? What is it Ruka-pyon?" Mikan said looking at Ruka while smiling.

"Well my Mom wants to meet you so could you come over at my house today?" Ruka said looking straight at Mikan with a blushed.

Mikan thought about it then smiled happily. "Well alright….I have nothing to do today anyway since we have no homeworks.."

It was then Natsume felt a pang in his heart as he heard that and felt his self heating up. He covered his eyes with his bangs.

"Alright me and onii-chan are going now.." Aoi said as she run up to Natsume who seems so angry because he quickly hopped in to their limousine without Aoi.

"Tomorrow after school okay, it will be held at Sakura blossoms 6 pm.." Aoi said hopping up and down as she went to their limousine but then she stepped on a rock and she was also about to fall.

"Aoi-chan!!!" Mikan and Nobara said.

But then Aoi felt strong arms held her waist to prevent her from falling. She looked up and saw that it was Youichi saying "What a clumsy girl"

Aoi blushed as she just looked at him with wide eyes. 'Wow he's even cuter up close…' she thought with a blushed on her face.

Youichi also looked at her and thought. 'I feel like my face is heating up with this little cute girl here…'

They looked at their position as Aoi stood up and bowed down at Youichi. "A-arigatou..Youichi-kun.."

"Hnn…Didn't know that you were also clumsy like that idiot there.." Youichi said pointing at Mikan who was fuming at him.

"Hmmpphh.." Aoi said puffing her cheeks at him but then smiled. "Oh well since you helped me.. I'll let it passed…..And oh you're also invited to my birthday tomorrow see you.." Aoi said didn't wait for his reply and quickly hopped in.

Natsume looked at her sister who was blushing hard and said "Are you alright there? It's a good thing Youichi caught you…"

"H-hai Onii-chan…" Aoi said looking down with a blush.

Youichi looked at Aoi as she hopped in. 'That girl is….so kawaii..' He thought but quickly shook it off as Nobara called him.

"Hey…Youichi-nii let's go already.." Nobara said dragging him away then looked at Mikan, Hotaru and Ruka. "We're going now okay. And Ruka-nii please take good care of Mikan-nee." Nobara said as she smiled at Ruka who was nodding.

"Alright Youichi just tell dad that I will be a little late today okay.." Mikan said waving at them.

"Hnn…"

"Let's go already Mikan-chan.." Ruka said looking at Mikan.

"Alright.." She said as she smiled at Ruka then looked at Hotaru but then Tsuji also came up to them and closed Hotaru's eyes from behind.

"Peek a boo..Who am I? Ho-ta-ru…" Tsuji said winking his eyes to Mikan and Ruka who was sweating dropped.

But then Hotaru hit him with the hyper baka gun. "It was obvious that it's you Tsuji.." She said as she looked at Tsuji whose face was on the ground.

But then he quickly recovered as he noticed Mikan and Ruka then grabbed Hotaru's hands and ran away with her. "We're going now you two..Ja ne!" He said as Hotaru just looked at him with wide eyes but then smirked at them.

Ruka blushed at that then looked at Mikan. "Shall we go now…?" He said offering his arm to Mikan.

Mikan smiled happily and accept it. "Hai.!!."

Ruka and Mikan walked to his car and opened the door for Mikan.

"After you Madamoiselle…" Ruka said opening and bowing down to Mikan.

Mikan smiled shyly and hop in. "Si…"

Then Ruka also got into his car as the two of them droved off to Ruka's house.

After a couple of minutes they already arrived at Ruka's house or not to mention a big enormous house.

Mikan and Ruka got outside as Mikan stared at it with wide eyes. "Wow almost the same as Natsume's. So big…"

"Hehe…My dad designed this house since he is an architect." Ruka said smiling at Mikan.

"Wow your family is in for designing huh?" Mikan said smiling.

"Y-Yeah…" Ruka said a bit blushing. "Let's go in now…"

Ruka said as Mikan followed him. Body guards were everywhere as they bowed down to him when they saw Ruka.

Mikan and Ruka entered and was greeted by a lady who suddenly hugged Ruka.

"Welcome back Ruu-chan." She said hugging Ruka who was trying to get off her. But then she noticed Mikan who was looking at them with a sweat dropped.

'Wow she is so beautiful too just like Natsume's mother and she looks like a model.' Mikan thought as she looked at her.

The lady was wearing a white dress with a black spaghetti ribbons and .

AN: yeah you got the picture just think that it is really fashioned.

Then she quickly got off Ruka and hugged Mikan instead.

"Kyaaa…Is this Mikan you're talking about. Wow she really is soo cute…" She said pinching and hugging Mikan.

Mikan was blushing as she hugged and pinched her cheeks.

"Hey Mom I think your suffocating her.." Ruka said sweat dropping.

Then the lady sweat dropped to as she let go of Mikan and let out a chuckle.

"Oh I'm sorry..Hi there! Welcome to my house. I would like you to know that I'm Reina Nogi. Ruka's mother.." Mrs. Nogi said as she smiled beautifully at Mikan and extends her hand to her.

Mikan blushed and smiled cutely. "It's nice to meet you Mrs. Nogi. I'm Mikan Sakura." Then shake her hand.

"Awww…you're so cute and pretty just like what Ruka told me…" Mrs. Nogi said as she looked at Mikan.

"Ehh? Really you want me to try? But…" Mikan said starting to protest but then Mrs. Nogi grabbed her hand and dragged her to somewhere with Ruka behind them.

"No buts…since I know that you would look so adorable in them.." Mrs. Nogi said.

"You see my Mom was a fomer model and a famous fashion designer you see." Ruka said smiling at Mikan.
