It has been a month since they came to Seika's high as a student. Mikan is really enjoying it while Natsume's cursing it.
"Why do you want to go today?" he groans "There's no use, we won't get any score or anything useful either"
"But we can make a lot of friends, Natsume. C'mon!"
"Tch... can't we just stay here today? I'm sick of school, you know."
Mikan pouted "Then I'll go with Usui-senpai." before he speaks, she cut him of again "That's ok. I'll be fine" with her smile, she holds her bag and walk outside with Usui.
"Why are you alone today, Mikan-chan?" some guys surrounded her chair at the lunch time.
"Err... he's sick ehehehe" she laughs as natural as she could. But guys don't pay attention to that. They've been waiting for this time to come when she's alone without her bodyguard, which mean Natsume. She's so sweet in their opinion.
"Umm.. Mikan-chan, can I talk to you for a minute? I'll wait for you at the school backyard after school" a guy suddenly whispers to her without anyone knows.
"Oh, ok" she replied.
"Emm... Actually..." that guy is messying his own hair while talking to her. Showing that he's embarassing "...I love you, Mikan-chan. Can you be my... girlfriend?"
Mikan dumbfounded to hear that. For god's sake, in Alice Academy, guys're making fun of her, treat her as one of the boys because of her not-so-feminime and easy-going attitude. But now, a guy outside that crazy academy suddenly confessed to her. I knew there's something wrong with the people on that Academy, she thought.
"So?" that guy suddenly asking for her answer.
"Emm..." her cheek reddened "I'm sorry, but I can't accept you." She bowed, apologizing.
"Why?" she keeps quiet with her sorry face. She knows she can't accept him or she'll have a relationship in this city then she and Natsume can't move to another place.
"B-because... as a new transfer student, I just don't want to have any relationship for now. I'm truly sorry" she felt so guilty as that guy's shoulders lumped.
"Can I kiss you then? Just one in the cheek." he suddenly talked, or can be heard like asking her.
"Eh?" her face reddened again.
"You see, you're my first love and I don't know why. I know your answer will be like this, but still I... don't know what to do. At least, lemme kiss you on the cheek as a goodbye"
"Eh, why's goodbye?"
"Because I'll move to other city in the next three days."
She looked at his blushing face and then nods. He moved closer and kissed her right cheek slowly.
"Where is she?" Natsume asked when Usui came home alone.
"I don't know. She said she'll be home late today."
"What the hell is she thinking? I'll search..." before he finished his words, the door snaps open, along with a certain blushing girl.
"HYAAAAA!" she suddenly fell sitting on the floor after closing the door.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Natsume's panic to see her.
"A guy..." Natsume holds her shoulders "...confess to me"
"What? Then you accepted him?" his eyebrows knotted a bit and came relieved when she shook her head.
"But he asked me to kiss my cheek"
"What?" he gritted her shoulders more "And you kiss him?" when he noticed that she nodded he removed his hands from her.
"Who is that guy? I'll kick his ass right away"
"No! Don't Natsume!" and then she told him the whole story. About the good bye and his moving to other city.
"If I were you, I'd just kick his ass" he turned his sight, completely annoying.
"Why're you so mean, Natsume?" she asked after changing clothes as he keeps silent as an answer.
"She's falling asleep aready?" Usui said and get into his bed.
"..." Natsume's eyebrows showed how much he annoyed right now. Usui smirked.
"That's why you should come to school tomorrow." and then he closed his eyes under the blanket.
"Yay! You finally came along with us!" Mikan said almost jumping happily because of it.
"That's because you're such an idiot beyond idiots" he said, annoying. She pouted while Usui chuckling.
She walks from the restroom to the class. Suddenly someone grabbed her hand and took her to the school backyard.
"W-why are you dragging me here, Senpai?" she said to the senior who dragged her.
"I love you" he said suddenly "I want you to be my girlfriend"
"Eeh? I-I can't, se-senpai!"
"Why?" that guy used his sad face.
"B-because I'm often moving from cities to cities. I can't have any relationship now"
He sighed "Fine then. By the way, there's something below your eyes. I'll take it, just close your eyes." the innocent Mikan believed it "There you go." he said then she opens her eyes without knowing what he has done.
Tomorrow, at the school billboard there's a picture of her lips kissing with that guy.
"What?" she yelled.. Her eyes teared because of the shockness.
"What is going on here, Mikan?" Natsume asked her with his eyebrows knotted worse than before. Mikan shook her head until Natsume dragged her out from the crowd to the backyard.
"Now tell me what's going on. Clearly"
"Y-yesterday.. he dragged me here and confessed. I refused him of course. But suddenly he asked me to close my eyes because he want to take a dirt below my eyes. I swear I didn't feel anything touch my lips, Natsume!"
"Then why is that picture over there showing your lips stucked with him?" he judged her with his sharp mouth as usual. She shook her head again.
Natsume kept silent for a moment "He edited it. That jerk" suddenly he said.
Mikan's tears finally fall down across her cheeks "I-I don't know. Really Natsume" she hiccuped.
"I'll take care of that jerk" he stood up.
"W-wait! He's a senior, Natsu..."
"So what? I didn't really care about that." then he removed her grips and walked away.
"What did you do to her?" the raven haired choked his senior by clutching his collar.
His senior slapped Natsume's hand "What's your problem?"
"I won't repeat my words" he made fists
His senior smirked "What do you mean? Don't forget I'm your senior"
"I don't care, and stop annoying me" he said flatly.
"I don't understand, Hyuuga" he deepened his smirk as Natsume held tighter
He twinched "Okay, just get off your hands now" Natsume let him go and he tidies it while smirking "You mean, Sakura?"
"..."
"She sure is a sweet girl. Really sweet"
BUAAK!
Droplets of blood drips below him, the he-doesn't-even-care his senior. It came from the corner of his bruised lips because of Natsume's fist.
"Fuck you" the senior's going to pay him back when fire appears, circling him and his crew.
"Move and you'll die" he said coldly. His seniors began to pale.
"HELP!" they shouts then Natsume made the fire worse.
Suddenly, someone hugs him from behind "Stop it, Natsume!" and the fire's gone.
"Why did you nullify it?" he said in angriness.
"You can't do that! You can't kill them! They're citizens, just normal human and innocent"
"Not so innocent to do that to you" he said as a matter of factly.
"But, please, Natsume. Just this once, please forgive my fault" her eyes teary "Do you want him to find us?" his eyes bulged, come to realization.
Later, he dragged her out of the scene.
"Wh-where are you taking me?"
"We're going now."
"Eh? Mikan?" unexpectally, Misaki and Usui saw them "Where are they going?"
"We'll know if we follow them" as Usui grabbed her hand.
