Chapter 2

Disclaimer: sorry, not mine... it's higuchi tachibana's..

Natsume ditched the whole morning classes since it was Narumi's classes. Well, it's not like he hate Narumi's classes, but he felt really bored that day, with nothing to do; only listening to Narumi's teachings. He went over to his favorite Sakura tree to take a little nap.

The bell rang indicating morning recess. Students went out of the classroom to go to the cafeteria and gathered at the counter to order their food. Mikan looked around to look for Natsume.

"What's the matter, Mikan?" Hotaru asked as she laid her tray of food on the table. Ruka and the others did the same.

"I... I need to find Natsume... well, he hasn't been in class since first period started," Mikan grinned and rubbed the back of her head.

Hotaru only raised her left eyebrow. "Something's wrong with Mikan today..." she thought.

"Okay, be sure to be back quickly so that you can eat with us," she said, sighing. Mikan beamed.

"Oh thank you, Hotaru!" she waved and dashed to the Sakura tree. Ruka stared after her.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Natsume opened his eyelids and woke up, yawning a little. He rubbed his eyes to clear his vision.

Suddenly he heard footsteps coming nearer. He looked up and saw Mikan smiling as usual.

"Hi Natsume! What are you doing here?" she asked him with a hint of excitement in her voice. Natsume raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing... just sleeping... by the way, what are you doing here?" he leaned back against the tree.

"I'm just walking around here..." she said and sat beside Natsume. Natsume's heart skipped a bit as Mikan's fingers touched his not on purpose. He slowly pulled away his hand.

"Why don't you go back to Imai and the others? It's no use for you wasting your time with me here..."

Actually he wanted Mikan to spend time with him a little longer. But he didn't show it.

"No," Mikan said shortly.

"Huh?" he glanced at the brunette.

"I want to spend time with you," she looked at Natsume with gleaming eyes. Not even Natsume could withstand that. So he looked away.

"Wh-what's with you today? Suddenly saying things like that..." he gulped with his cheeks blushing a little.

"What? Can't I spend time with my boyfriend?" she looked at him sweetly. Natsume is in shock. He never thought that Mikan could say that. He blushed more. "Since when am I became your boyfriend?"

Mikan noticed his face reddening; she put her forehead on Natsume's, checking his temperature. Natsume's eyes widened.

"Hmm... you don't have a fever... why is your face red?" she looked straight into his eyes.

Natsume backed away. Mikan looked at him surprise at his sudden actions. "Wh-what's wrong, Natsume? Is there a problem?"

"You're the one with problem here! What the hell is wrong with you!? Suddenly putting your forehead against mine... are you trying to seduce me?!" he shouted, the redness in his face never left.

"What? I wasn't trying to seduce you! You're my boyfriend... so I have rights to worry about you!" she stood up, looking down at Natsume.

"Since when did I become your boyfriend!? I have never approved that!" he said again, now standing up.

"Oh Natsume... don't be shy... you love me, right?" she spoke with temptation in her voice while her face went nearer to Natsume's. Then she blew against Natsume's right ear. Natsume jerked away, panting.

Natsume tried to calm down. He looked up to Mikan, still blushing. Mikan looked at him with tantalizing eyes.

He avoided Mikan's gaze and turned around. With a force, he quickly ran away, leaving Mikan alone at the Sakura tree.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The class had already started when Natsume arrived, opening the sliding door with harsh. All the students in the class stared at him, including Narumi-sensei. They saw a worn-out Natsume.

"What happened, Natsume-kun? You looked tired today," Narumi-sensei asked, pausing his writings on the blackboard. He held a Japanese Lessons book in his left hand.

Natsume had caught his breath and calmed down. "It's nothing," he replied shortly and proceeded to his seat at the back. Narumi raised an eyebrow staring at his crimson-eyed student.

Ruka also stared at his best friend. Hotaru just glanced at him.

Narumi-sensei resumed back writing on the blackboard.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"What happened today, Natsume?" Ruka asked as they had already finished morning classes.

"I don't wanna remember about it..." he sighed.

"Hehe.. don't be like that... is it about Sakura?" Ruka snickered. Natsume blushed.

"No way... what makes you think that?" He said, looking away.

"Well maybe... it's just my intuition..." Ruka said, stuffing his school stuffs inside his back and ready to exit the classroom. Natsume followed suit.

"Hey Natsume just tell me what happened between you and Sakura," Ruka pleaded to his best friend as they walked side by side to the boys' dorm.

"That polka-dotted panties girl seduced me..." he said in barely a whisper, but Ruka heard him.

"What! Really?" Ruka's expression in shock. Natsume nodded.

"Hahahahaha... maybe you're just imagining things... there's no way Sakura would do that kind of thing... she's not that type of woman..." Ruka chuckled heartily.

Natsume glared at him. Ruka stopped laughing for fear Natsume will burn his hair.

"I also thought about that, but it's true...," he looked away from Ruka.

Ruka fell silent. He just stared at Natsume, trying to read his expression by tilting his head a little.

They finally arrived to the boys' dorm and went to their respective bedrooms. Neither of them talking or bringing out the topic about Mikan.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Uh... ouch..." an auburn haired brunette woke up, feeling pain in her head. To be precise; headache. She noticed her surroundings are dark.

"Where am I?" she wondered, couldn't figure out where she was. Just then a sharp pain came into her head again. "Ouch! My head hurts!" she held her head tightly. Mikan tried to stand up. Her legs wobbled, trying to keep up with her weight. Her legs also felt weak, but she needed to get back to her dorm.

Mikan stepped out from the bush and walked helplessly to her dorm, eyes half closed. Her body swayed a little, causing her to fell down on the hard ground. She instantly fell unconscious.
