DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gakuen Alice/ Alice Academy

Chapter 5

The kiss (kisses)

"Wow Natsume I didn't know you play that good in soccer" Mikan said that to Natsume like a proud mother. She and her friends followed Natsume and the other guys after the game.

"Yeah Natsume you look even hotter when you play." The Natsume-Ruka fans club president said while picturing Natsume being the hottest looking guy while wearing a soccer uniform.

"Get off my back idiots" he answered them coldheartedly. He turned around to give a deadly stare to the annoying girls but one of the boys accidentally bumped him while playing. He didn't fall directly to the ground because he fell with the one standing in front of him.

Everyone was shocked seeing the very awkward position of their two classmates. Mikan was lying on the ground with her back while Natsume is on top of her with his lips on hers.

Sumire and the other fan Natsume fan girls who seen it just fainted, Ruka on the other hand turn tomato red not of anger but because of shock, while Hotaru is filming the scene while thinking "I can get a lot of money from this"

For a moment there Mikan and Natsume didn't realize their awkward position or

maybe they realized it but their to shock to move.

Mikan got to her senses first " get of me you pervert" she said while pushing Natsume.

Natsume stand up and fixed himself without helping Mikan to stand "who would want to get close to you anyway" he said in a very casual way then took off.

"That jerk, he's going to pay for this" she said then took off heading the opposite direction Natsume took. She was really mad but she is also blushing furiously.

The next day rumors spread all over the Academy. Everyone were talking about the "KISSING" incident.

Mikan was walking towards their classroom with Yuu when they noticed that everyone they passed by where whispering while looking at Mikan. They've reached their classroom but it has the same atmosphere. All eyes are on Mikan and they're whispering to one another.

"What's going on to this school" the irritated Mikan can't help it anymore so she just broke out.

"Have you forgot what happened yesterday. They're all talking about your kiss with Natsume." Nonoko walked beside her and reminded her.

"So that's what the commotion is all about" she said it very calmly and wandered "but how did the others know about it"

"News flies Mikan" Yuu answered.

"Plus I sold them the video I got from yesterday. It actually sells pretty good" Hotaru said to her without looking at her.

"you whaaaaat" Mikan's voice echoed all over the building. "Are you trying to tell me that all of the students had a copy of what happened yesterday."

"Yes"

"Why you stupid girl" Sumire came rushing in to the room "you have the guts to show your face around me after you kissed my dear Natsume"

"What are you talking about? I didn't kiss him, what happened was an accident"

"Whatever you still kissed my Natsume"

"Anyway Mikan, how does it feel to be kissed by the most popular guy in the academy?" one of the guy asked, no one of the girls can ask that question for their feeling angry at Mikan right now.

"What's wrong with you all? I told you it was an accident it is not considered as a kiss." Mikan was really pissed that she decided to run out of the classroom. She didn't notice that someone followed her.

Northern Forest…

Mikan was walking finding the best place to hide from the whole academy. Mikan is feeling angry and at the same time she can feel her heart pounding really fast. What's wrong with you? Why are you beating so fast? I am angry but what I'm feeling right now is not right, or maybe I'm not really angry I'm just confused. Mikan is in the middle of such thoughts when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Ho!" she jumped in surprise but when she had a glimpse on who was behind "It's just you. You scared me, Itsuki"

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to"

"Why are you here? Don't tell me that your also here to remind me of what happened yesterday." Mikan's brows twitched.

"Oh no. Actually I just saw running out of the classroom you were really I angry, I got worried so I decided to follow you."

'is that so" she said then sit on the ground. "I'm fine. I just couldn't take being talked about like that. I hate it when people are angry especially when what happened is totally out of my hand"

"I know how it feels, but will pass" Itsuki said to her, he was leaning at the tree beside Mikan.

"I know. But right now…" she didn't continue what she was about to say for some reason. "Class is starting soon. I think we should head back" She said then stood up and just like before Itsuki lend her a hand. "Thank you" then she smiled.

When Mikan and Itsuki entered the room, the teacher is already in. they apologized for being late then headed to their seats. No one gives any attention about the fact that Mikan and Itsuki enter the class at the same time, they were partners anyway, but the two guys behind them have different views.

At lunch Mikan decided to eat alone to avoid hearing the student's "meal of the day". She bought sandwich and a juice and decided to stay in their classroom because she knew that none of her class mates stay in the classroom during lunch time or so she thought.

When Mikan reached their classroom Natsume was also there.

"Why don't you help me and tell everybody that what happened yesterday is not the way they think it is" She said to Natsume in a high tone but she's not looking at him.

"Why should I?" he wasn't also looking his attention is focused in to what he is reading.

"Because your involve in it. Oh yeah, I forgot, it's a relief for you, because you're not the one being hunted by those girls anymore"

"What's there to say anyway?"

"tell them that it wasn't a kiss"

"what was it then?" Natsume lifted his head to look at Mikan.

Mikan also then turned around and look at Natsume "What happened is an accident"

"I know, it was an accidental kiss"

"I told you it's not a kiss" Mikan is starting to heat up again. For the first time Mikan saw emotion in Natsume's eyes. Pain, anger, jealousy she can't tell what it is.

"if that's not a kiss for you, then what do you call this" Natsume then grabbed Mikan's head and kissed her. Their kiss lasted for a minute then he let her go.

Natsume then took off the room leaving the stunned Mikan motionless. Why the hell did I do that. He was preoccupied by that thought that he didn't notice Ruka and Hotaru were watching the whole scene on the other door. Ruka was blushing furiously while Hotaru is giving a devilish smile.

"Looks like someone is already making a move" Hotaru said while looking at Ruka in a very intriguing way. But were they really the only ones watching

Mikan was lying on her bed and it seems like she can't get to sleep again. Why did Natsume kiss me? Why am I feeling like this? Why does my heart beat so fast? And Natsume, before he kissed me was that anger written all over his face? God, there's so many questions inside my head but I don't have any idea where to get the answers.

In Natsume's room, Natsume were talking to his reflection in a mirror. "What's wrong with you? Are you really out of your mind? Why did you kiss her? Why do you feel angry every time you see her with the new guy? Why are you always not yourself every time you're around her?" another part of his mind seems to not agree to his last words. "Was it really not you or was that the real you?"

Ruka on the other hand; Have I really lost the fight without even making a single move. The way I see it, it seems to be like that. I guess I can't do anything anymore. I just need to admit that I lost her without a fight.

Sleep seems so hard to find for them thank God tomorrow is weekend.
