Chapter 19 – Addicted to Kissing

"Natsume, you're too careless. Mikan is being bullied." Ruka says to Natsume.

"Even if I am cold-blooded, I don't want to argue with something ridiculous like this. Let's go now." Natsume replied as Ruka didn't follow Natsume. Everyone left except for Ruka, who was worried about Mikan. Mikan tried to talk to Ruka.

"Ruka, don't worry. I am a very big strong man, and definitely won't be affected by this kind of thing." Mikan says to Ruka, as Natsume took Ruka's bag and handed over him. Then, Ruka answered Mikan.

"Mikan, it's good that you're okay. If you're ever going to fight, count me in." Ruka answered as he practiced punching, "Be safe, Mikan. I'm going now for practice."

"Okay, good luck, do good and goodbye." Mikan bids Ruka goodbye. Then, Mikan sat down, and placed the curses under her table. As she was fixing them, Senri looked at her, and gave an evil smile. Perhaps the culprit might be Senri Nakao… Maybe, but no one knows.

It was dark already, and Mikan was all alone in her room, talking to herself about the criticisms.

"Ah, who could hate me so much?" Mikan asked herself; she was mad already, "Yes, Natsume said that this was only a ridiculous prank. Mikan, don't take this seriously. I don't have time for this nautical nonsense. I just need to be Natsume's number one FAN! And support him that is the most important thing." Mikan says as Natsume entered the room.

"What are you blabbering about to yourself?" Natsume asked while Mikan hid the curses.

"No… I'm not blabbering to myself." Mikan replied.

"You just did." Natsume said.

"I did?" Mikan asked Natsume. "Natsume, does your eye still hurt?"

"Hmm, when you don't press it, it doesn't hurt. It's almost recovered." Natsume replied.

"Oh, that's good to hear." Mikan says.

"So much suffering, so much! I must be the girl who has the most miserable life! I actually punched the guy who gave me my first kiss. And I hit him really hard too. But this is quite special. I don't think anyone has had the experience as me." Mikan thought as she was laughing on her own. Natsume noticed this, and talked to her.

"You're laughing secretly again." Natsume says to Mikan, "Don't start the habit of secretly laughing behind my back, okay? All the Goosebumps on my arm are forming. "

"When… When did I secretly laugh?" Mikan asked. "Oh, I'm hungry. My blood sugar is low, my mind has blanked out, that's why I'm like this. Let's go eat." Mikan walked to the door as Natsume stopped her.

"Hey, you come over here." Natsume said as Mikan went near him.

"What is it?" Mikan asked Natsume. Then, Natsume was getting closer to Mikan, which made her nervous. Mikan thought that she will be kissed by Natsume again, so she closed her eyes, and waited for the awaiting kiss. Natsume was just shaking off the leaves Mikan had on her hair. When Natsume wanted to talk, Mikan had her eyes closed, and her lips ready. But Natsume doubted about it.

"It looks like I really kissed this guy. How could I forget? Never mind, I'll just pretend that it never happened." Natsume thought. Then, Natsume started to speak to Mikan.

"Were you just sleeping on the field just now? You brought back some leaves." Natsume says.

"Oh yes, yes… I was there sleeping." Mikan replied as she was feeling like an idiot inside.

"Let's go… You behave strangely when you're hungry" After Natsume said this, he went to the canteen while Mikan was left in the room, thinking about her mistake.

"Oh my god, I thought he was going to kiss me. Oh my mom… Have I been addicted to kissing?" Mikan thought as she was slapping her face. "I now know what I care about. That was my first kiss. I should have never been kissed in that situation. I want to be kissed in a place that's romantic. Natsume… You owe me a real first kiss!!! Return my first kiss!" Mikan's eyebrows were crossed, her mouth was showing her teeth, and she was acting like a tiger.

The next day, the same thing happens. But this was worse… Mikan's uniform was soaked wet. And she has to wear ordinary clothes in going to school.

"This is really an uncommon thing." Yuu said.

"There is only one truth." Koko says.

"Too strange," Taiki says, "This could very well be something supernatural."

"No way…" Koko says.

"The clothes are soaking wet!" Mikan says.

"I see that Mikan. You can't wear this uniform today." Yuu said.

"WHO REALLY DID THIS?!" Ruka shouted. He kept on scratching his hair because of this, "I'm really not calm! Hey, who really did this? Aren't you all aware of what my golden right foot can do?" Ruka made a double-flying kick after. "Okay, whoever wants to fight, come on! Bring it on!"

"This person couldn't say it out loud so he did this." Natsume says.

"Hey, whose side are you on?" Ruka asked Natsume.

"Ruka, don't worry. I won't admit defeat like this. Anyways, this uniform will be dried under the sun. Am I right?" Mikan says with a cheerful smile, trying to hide the grief. "Oh yeah, Yuu, Koko, help me take these outside." Mikan asked the two.

"Okay." The two replied as they took her uniform and put it under the sun.

"I'll help you dry your books Mikan." Taiki said.

"Arigatou." Mikan said.

"Mikan," Ruka was really worried.

"Ruka, don't worry. I won't get mad with something this small. Anyways, my good quality is my good spirit, and it can never be knocked down." Mikan replied as Natsume started to ask.

"Mikan, are you alright?" Natsume asked Mikan.

"Nothing to worry about." Mikan replied. "Oh yeah Ruka. Would you mind going with me to the other classroom to borrow some books? My books won't probably be dry until classes are over."

"Okay, okay… I know them well." Ruka replied.

"Really?" Mikan asked.

"Yeah. Come on!" Ruka said as they walk to the other class. Then, Natsume thought.

"Mikan, why haven't you lost your temper yet? It's only a small matter." Natsume thought about Mikan. Then, after Natsume went out to follow the two, Senri gave another evil smile.

"Mikan, I would have caught the guy, and turn the classroom upside down just to find him. The culprit is really too much. Don't worry, after we borrowed some books, it doesn't matter if it's an English textbook, Science or Math book, who did I wrong? It's really scaring me." Ruka said to Mikan.

"But I've decided that when Natsume sees any obstacles, I'll be his supporter. Nothing is more important than Natsume's fire casting. So this kind of kids' prank will not worry me. Just stay calm Mikan, okay?" Mikan thought.

"Hey, we must face this problem together, okay?" Mikan asked Ruka.

"Hey guys! BIG NEWS, BIG NEWS, BIG NEWS!!!" Yuu shouted. "Just now, one of the seniors told me that Shuichi Hideaki just defeated the lightning blaze Yuri Morimoto." Then, Natsume avoided the conversation, since it was about Shuichi.

"I thought Yuri Morimoto won 4 years in a row. Wasn't the record before his too?" Koko asked.

"Well yeah, but Shuichi had beaten him! Actually, Shuichi is in the school now to demonstrate some moves!" Yuu said.

"That man of muscle really dares to come to our school? True or false, is he even that strong?" Ruka asked. Then, Shuichi came out from nowhere…

"Right, I'm really that strong." Shuichi says as the gang was surprised to see the Ice Prince. "What. Did I scare you gold hair channel?" Shuichi asked Ruka. Ruka tried to fight back. But he laughed so loud at first.

"What golden hair channel?! Are you sure you're here to take a chance?! You take a look around these 4 people. Everyone has a strong-built body and an alice that can defeat you!" Ruka replied.

"But your Alice is animal pheromone, and it's useless." Shuichi says as Ruka was surprised.

"You win first round, but anyways we'll beat you until you nose bleed. If you're brave enough, come here, looking to die." Ruka says as Mikan tries to fight in words.

"Hey you Smelly Ice Man! Didn't I warn you not to come here ever again? GET OUT!!!!!" Mikan was so mad at Shuichi!!!

"You came here for military secrets? I think that you're afraid. Oh, you must be afraid of Alice Academy's famous shining and unbeaten striker sprinter's leg! Is that right Natsume?" Ruka said to Shuichi…

"That's right! Shuichi's a loser. Loser, Loser, loser…" The gang said to Shuichi. But Shuichi warned Natsume.

"Hyuuga Natsume, if you don't try harder, you'll quickly become useless." Shuichi says to Natsume. After that, Mikan landed on the ground, and pushed Shuichi out.

"You… go out… pissing me off." Mikan says to Shuichi.

"You go away, you're too much! If you won't go, we'll beat you up." Ruka said to Shuichi, defending his friend.

"You go out already! I'm telling you, are you going or not?!" Mikan says, pushing Shuichi outside, but Shuichi caught Mikan, and he covered her mouth with his hand, so Mikan won't be able to shout. He held her securely so she wouldn't escape. When Natsume saw this, he was worried already for Mikan. He asked Shuichi if he could let her go.

"Shuichi, you better let go of him!" Natsume was angry already.

"Natsume, why don't you join in a duel? You know, with me as the Ice Prince and you as the Fire Lord, we can duel. I can't stand not seeing someone like you in the arena. Also without you there, it will be very boring." Shuichi says to Natsume as it was an insult. Then, Natsume answered.

"Okay, I know. Now let him go!" Natsume said to Shuichi.

"You answered so calmly. Okay, I'll return him now." Shuichi returned Mikan after. Then, Mikan shove the Ice Prince.

"Hey, what's your problem?!" Mikan shouted at Shuichi.

"Natsume, I'll be expecting you. This time, don't back-out." Shuichi says as he walks away from the classroom. Everyone was still mad at Shuichi. Mikan had her eyebrows crossed. She was really mad – how can someone say those bad things to a person? It was very terrible. Then, Natsume asked Mikan's condition.

"Mikan, are you alright?" Natsume asked the Mad Mikan.

"I'm fine," Mikan replied, resisting the anger that lies beneath her. "Hey Natsume, what about you? What are you going to do now?"

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Natsume answered.
