Chapter update!

Kyyaa~!

So what exactly did happen to Mikan and Natsume?!

XoX

Mikan frowned as she heard Natsume's remarks. "Yeah, that."

"I did say it's a peace offering right?" Natsume said.

"I'm fully aware of that fact. But what you did to me in the past is unforgivable. You made my life a living hell!" Mikan retorted.

Natsume chuckled. "I did a great job ha?!"

Mikan rolled her eyes. "Never mind, those kind of things are not important now. Past is past…"

"I couldn't believe you'll go too far, like burning my hair for example!!" Mikan bellowed at Natsume. "I couldn't think of anything bad that I did to you. I remembered being all kind to you and stuff."

"tch. That's because you're so annoying. And ugly. And stupid. And- wait, do you want me to say all of it?" Natsume said nonchalantly.

Mikan grunted. "Fine! If you will not say the reason then I wouldn't force it to you!!"

Natsume took the chance of silence to think.

Natsume was walking along their mansion's halls when he over-heard his parents talking.

"What will we do to the kid who escaped?" Kaoru said to man behind a huge oak table.

"I don't know but we will surely capture her." said.

"But how? We don't know whether or not she changed her name and they got rid of all evidences about her. Pictures, fingerprints, everything." Kaoru worriedly said.

"There's nothing to worry about dear. One of the assassins said that they managed to scratch her arm. Mika Sakurabana, the only survivor of the Sakurabana clan, has a scar in her left arm." Mr. Hyuuga said.

"Then everything will be okay now, right? First, we have to look for every girl with ages 7-8 that has a scar? Then, we won't have to worry about our position as the number one company in Japan." Kaoru gladly concluded.

"Yes, we have to kill her as early as possible so as not to make any future problems." Mr. Hyuuga said in a dismissive tone.

Natsume became curious but didn't stay long. He immediately went back to his room and sleep.

The day after that, Natsume went to school early. As he was walking towards his room, he saw a brunette with a tattered uniform. With nothing else to do, he approached the girl.

"Ey, what's the matter?" he asked else could he do, he is a gentleman after all.

The brunette looked at him and smiled as if nothing happened. "I fell…" she laughed.

"I'm Mikan Sakura by the way!" she said as she offered her left hand.

Natsume saw a scar in her arm, exactly as what his parents describe last night.

"Natsume." He said as he shifted his eyes to Mikan's hands

"Oh, Nice to meet you Natsume-kun." She said as she awkwardly lowered her hands.

The school bell rang.

"I better go!" Mikan said as she ran towards the main building. She looked back to Natsume and smiled brightly as she waved him goodbye.

'I wonder why mom and dad like her to die. I think she's good.' Natsume thought to himself. "Oh well. I must observe her then." He said as he walked to the opposite building to where Mikan is heading to.

The day turned out to be exciting for Natsume. Mikan is actually a transferred student and his classmate. He observed Mikan for the whole day and came up with these conclusions.

She's stupid.

She's always happy.

She's very, VERY friendly

Amazingly annoying.

Doesn't seem to be interested in math.

She's mostly daydreaming.

'Wow' Natsume thought himself. 'This is stupid. I can't believe her! Its like her head is always floating. I can't see any threats.'

"Never mind, I'll just observe more before actually telling mom and dad." Natsume said as he placed his notebook inside his bag and went to the parking lot where his driver is waiting.

A year has passed and Natsume find himself always drawn to Mikan. He's not used to this kind of feeling that he ended up "torturing" her until the end of the school year. They bonded a little and got closer during summer which made Natsume kind of happy.

Then one unfaithful night…

Natsume is taking a nap in the sofa when he heard his parents get inside the living room.

"Kaoru, I have some good news." Mr. Hyuuga said. "One of my hired spies said that Mika Sakurabana might be in Gakuen Alice."

"That's great!" Kaoru exclaimed. "Then, when will we take some actions?"

"Next week, since I still have much work to do." Mr. Hyuuga said.

Kaoru scribbled something in her notebook and said. "Honey, we have to go now. They are waiting upstairs."

So the two of them walked out of the room, leaving the dumb stricken Natsume behind. Natsume got hold of himself and went to his room.

Natsume couldn't sleep that night. He just thought a plan that could save Mikan but it will cost him much. Not physically nor financially, instead it will cost him in an emotional way.

"Don't be selfish stupid." Natsume said as he tried his best to sleep.

The next day, dark circles are visible in Natsume eyes. He looks tired and very problematic. It just so happened that the students are requested to go to school for their clubs. Natsume took a bath, dressed up, ate his breakfast and went to school.

At the end of the day, Natsume was dead tired. He avoided Mikan as best as he could. He was sitting under a Sakura tree when the brunette sat beside him.

"Natsume, why are you avoiding me?" Mikan asked.

"Nothing." Natsume answered.

Silence.

"Natsume, may I ask something?" Mikan said as she broke the silence between them.

"Hn."

"Do you hate me?" She asked

The question took Natsume off-guard. 'This is my chance to let her go.' Natsume thought. 'Remember this is for her own good.'

"Yes, want to know why?" Natsume said coldly.

Mikan looked shocked and hesitantly nod.

"I despise you so much that it irks me why I'm hanging around with you. You are stupid and dumb. Not fun at all. I don't what has gotten into me that I even started talking to you at the first place. Being with you is the worse time of the day." Natsume said as hard as he could.

Mikan is hurt. Her eyes started swelling and her cheeks are becoming pinkish.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked as she tried to hold back her tears.

"I want you to be gone." Natsume said.

"Then." Mikan stood up and smiled at Natsume for the last time. "I'll be going then."

When Mikan's running figure in no longer visible, his stoic face broke down. He tried to remain clam as he walked towards his car and when he finally went home, he locked himself inside his room.

Natsume tried to remember all the memories he have with Mikan until it came to the point about what happened a while ago.

"Do you hate me?" Mikan's word got stuck in his mind.

"No, stupid. The feelings I have for you is exactly the opposite. I love being with you. You are fun to be with. I have no regrets about meeting you, matter-of-fact it's the best thing that has happened to me. Spending time with you is the greatest time in the day. You are the reason why I don't like a day to end."

These are the words that Natsume wanted to say. These words are just a few of what he really feels towards her. But its of no use now. She's gone. For good…

Natsume snapped out of his thoughts when Mikan budge him.

"Natsume, it getting late. I'm going to get killed for attending work very late and skip it." Mikan said

"Yeah. Were going" Natsume said as he stood up.

Natsume looked at Mikan and smiled. His long raven bangs covered it which he was greatly thankful for.

'Past is past.' He reminded himself. 'What is more important is that she's back and this time, I will never let go of her ever again.'
