A Short Preview:
"I don't want to continue this cold war between me and Natsume. I've decided that I have to fight to make up with Natsume." Mikan said.

"You see Natsume; I just can't stand seeing Mikan hurt, seeing him depressed. From now on, treat Mikan better." Ruka said as he clenched his fists.

‚"Everybody thinks that I quitted fire casting because of the fireball I'm trying to make for Sumire's birthday. Only I know the truth. I can't stand people's expectations for me. I'm just scared that I won't be able to fire cast anymore. I want to return to the arena. Just once is enough. But now, I'm going to try my best to fire cast again." Natsume answered.

"Mikan never give up. Natsume said he will return to the arena to conquer the fire casting record once again. So your number one goal will be to accomplish that. Then, it'll be Mikan and Natsume's never ending love." Mikan says to herself in the mirror, doing some things that you know you would do when you're feeling excited. "Go, go, go, and go!"
Chapter 11 – Valentine's Day
The gang was eating noodles, the same as always. But everyone was staring at Ruka. His way of eating noodles. It was like he was never given food yet.
"Ruka looks like he's never eaten before." Natsume says as Ruka raises his chopsticks and eats again.
"Ruka, your soup noodles look very tasty." Mikan said.
"Hey, don't we all have the same bowl of noodle soup?" Natsume asked.
"But Ruka's one looks very tasty." Mikan says as Ruka drank his soup and burped right after. Everyone was surprised by the reaction of Ruka. They were looking at him, and Ruka felt very weird.
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Do I have anything on my face? Food got on my face?" Ruka asked the group.
"Ruka its great being with you," Mikan says as she puts her hand on his shoulder, When I eat with you, I think the food is really tasty! It feels very comforting to me. Is that right…? Is that right?" Then Ruka sees Mikan's face near to him, so he backed off, fearing that he will feel the feeling again.
"Yes, that's right!" Ruka replied, "I'm telling you guys. My mom once told me that we must be very respectful to food. That's how we can peacefully eat chicken, duck, cow, so when they're digested, they die peacefully. Understand?" Mikan nodded her head.
"You can't finish it? I'll help you eat it." Ruka asked Yuu.
"Hey, what are you doing? I haven't eaten yet. Why are you stealing my noodles? I want to eat them slowly." Yuu replied, getting back his noodle soup. Then, the weird Taiki appears from nowhere asking Ruka. It was like a cold breeze was there when Taiki appeared.
"Ruka," Taiki said. Ruka was surprised.
"How did you suddenly appeared?" Ruka asked Taiki.
"Next time you eat, eat slowly or the gods near you haven't eaten enough and they won't be happy." After Taiki said this, he moves like the wind and disappeared. The gang was spooked by Taiki's usual behavior.
"We didn't hear anything, blah, blah, blah." The three were ignoring Taiki's words. They were trying to forget them.
"Let's change the topic. We have a basketball game. Do you want to sign up together?" Yuu asked.
"I want to go!" Ruka said.
"Me too, me too." Mikan says, raising her hand.
"You don't know anything. Why are you joining the crowd?" Natsume asked the impulsive Mikan.
"Of course I know! It's just to help cheer on the school team. But why are there so many games recently? And the ones cheering are more enthusiastic than the sport players?" Mikan asked.
"It's because of Valentine's Day coming up" Koko says.
"Valentine's Day? So what does it have to do with sports?" Mikan asked.
"The relations are big Mikan! Valentine's Day happens once a year. Girls give boys chocolate festival! If the guy accepts the chocolates, it means that he likes her. Then, they'll have the chance and they'll hold hands. And maybe kiss!" Koko says while holding the hand of Yuu. The two were suppose to kiss, but they saw themselves and shouted with fear.
"So ridiculous. You guys have never received chocolates before right?" Natsume asked the two.
"But I still don't understand. What does Valentine's Chocolates have to do with sports? Is it because eating it will help you play better?" Mikan asked the two again.
"Mikan, you're so stupid!" Yuu said, "We're a boys' school and we don't have the chance to meet girls. So we have to find opportunities with co-ed events. We might even meet some pretty girls in the cheering squad." Yuu said as the two giggled.
"It has its good points." Koko said. "So if you're in the stands, you'll meet girls. If you meet girls, they'll give chocolates. If you get chocolates, then you'll be happy for Valentine's Day! Isn't that right, Yuu?"
Back to Ruka, he was thinking of something.
"Valentine's day," Ruka says, "Chocolates," Ruka looked at Mikan as Mikan looked at Natsume.
"Valentine's day, chocolates." Mikan said as he stares at Natsume. Natsume looked at Mikan and went back eating his noodles. Then, Mikan thought:
MIKAN'S IMAGINATION:
"Natsume, I like you. Happy Valentine's day!" Mikan said, offering chocolates to Natsume.
"Mikan, I also like you." Natsume replied as he kisses her on the forehead.
"I'll feed you," Mikan said as she got a chocolate and fed it to Natsume. Then, Natsume feeds Mikan back. The, something went wrong.
"Wait, aren't you a guy?" Natsume asked Mikan.
"Oh yes, I am a guy!" Mikan replied.
END OF MIKAN'S IMAGINATION……………….
"What am I thinking? I'm a guy right now. How can I give Natsume chocolates?" Mikan asked herself.
Then, Natsume thought; "Thanks to those idiots to make up such ridiculous things."
After lunch, Mikan walked outside. She was thinking about Valentine's Day. "So girls have to send chocolates to show their love on Valentine's Day. Natsume is so handsome; he'll definitely be popular with all the girls. What if I took this chance to show my love for Natsume? Ah, no way! Natsume hates sweets. Last time I bought him candy, he almost threw up. Never mind, Natsume hates sweets. I can't use a guy's image to send chocolates. I still haven't seen Natsume fire cast with my own eyes. So I can't reveal my identity yet. Valentine's Day, bye bye… I don't know when I can give Natsume chocolates." Mikan thought as Ruka was there behind her.
"Ruka Nogi, what's so hard about this? Then just say it. Maybe you have ghosts in your body. Oh my god, why do I have ghosts inside my body? I only admire Mikan. I can't fall in love with him. I don't like men! Yes, I'll tell him straight out. We're just good friends. Don't be nervous, it'll all be good." Ruka thought as he sneaks behind Mikan's back and whispered, "Mikan." Mikan saw him and fell onto the ground.
"Ruka, why are you scaring people?!" Mikan asked.
"No, no. I just want to ask you something. This Saturday, I have a soccer game and if you'll cheer me on." Ruka says to Mikan
"Hey, when we ate, everyone was there. Why haven't you said it then?" Mikan asked Ruka. "And why are you so nervous when talking? It looks like you did an unforgivable thing."
"Oh, that's my habit to help me digest." Ruka replied. "Look, helping me to digest. So, are you coming?"
"Of course…" Mikan replied.
"Ruka paused for a while, and leaped for joy. "Yes! It feels so good to say it in one breath. I'm so thankful to you, tomorrow, and the 16th soccer game!" Then, Ruka gave a flying kiss to Mikan. "I'll wait for you, Mikan. Okay, okay, bye Mikan!" Ruka said while Mikan felt weird by Ruka's behavior today. After, Mikan prayed.
