"So what? Just because I fought you doesn't mean that I harbor any feelings for this baka."

Chapter 5

After Natsume said this, something struck Mikan. 'Maybe, he doesn't love me. He was just playing with my feelings. I just hoped that he returned my feelings but I guess it was just a dream. Oh well, its just that I thought he felt something for me and I felt it back. I guess I won't have to waste my time or breath to tell him how I feel, but if I keep holding it in then it will come at the worst possible time and it will force itself out of my heart and mind. It will surely break me into a state that would worry my friends and I just can't do that to them.'

After Mikan processed this through her mind, she ran as fast as she could away from the two teenagers. She left Akito confused and Natsume guilty and regretful. 'Darn it! Why did I have to say that? Oh well she will probably forget about it by tomorrow after all she is a baka.'

Natsume tucked his hands in his pockets and walked down the path to the boy's dorms. "Hey, Hyuuga! I'm not done with you! Comeback and fight!" Akito desperately said, but nothing he could say would change the destination Natsume was heading to.

With Mikan

'That pervert! I thought he loved me, but I guess he was just playing with my feelings' Mikan thought with tears brimming from her eyes. She dares not to cry or someone will notice and asks her what her problem is and she just can't relive that moment in time. That moment when Natsume said that he didn't have any feelings for her at all was shattering her already shaken heart little by little but she was just too stubborn to realize it.

She walked into the canteen with a fake smile on. Of course, no one noticed this except for the great observer, Hotaru. 'Mikan, Mikan, what did he do to you this time. I swear if he doesn't confess to her soon I will make sure he does, even if I have to threaten him. They are such bakas!'

Hotaru went over to Mikan with her expressionless face still intact. She sat down by her 'best' friend and gave her a small rare reassuring smile. That was all Hotaru could do for Mikan because no matter how hard she tried, this problem could only be solved between Mikan and Natsume. But, that didn't mean that Hotaru couldn't plan everything out and record it for profits. (Yes, Ruka did change Hotaru, but that doesn't mean she can't black mail other people other than her boyfriend)

Hotaru glanced over to Ruka. Ruka knew that this was a sign to talk to the Black Cat. Sighing heavily, he walked out of the cafeteria and into Natsume's room.

"Natsume?"

"Hn"

"You know Mikan…she was looking kind of down a few minutes ago."

"So? What does she have to do with me?"

"Are you seriously asking that question? "

"….."

"Listen, Natsume, Mikan's not going to wait for you forever. She can only withstand for so long and if you make her wait for you she will eventually move on."

"…"

"Just think about what I said okay?"

"…."

Sighing, Ruka left Natsume in thought. 'Maybe I should apologize and what does Ruka mean by waiting. I don't even love that baka. (Denying his feelings again, sigh, such an idiot) But, she does seem to take my stress, anger, and sadness away. Wait, I am getting mushy. Darn it! I am getting infected with the baka germs.'

He slowly rose to his feet and lifted his already injured ankle lightly on the marble floors. He winced in pain slightly from the pain he received from Akito. Although this sprain was nothing compared to his other injuries, this ankle hurt more than anything he had ever felt. Maybe because it had hints of guilt and regret with it as well. Maybe, he was just thinking too much. Maybe it was because he had lost Mikan in the process as well. Well, whatever the reason, the pain was suffocating his heart slowly and constricting his veins and emotions. All of this was going crazy in his head, bouncing back and forth in his mind. He had questions and wanted answers, but when it came to Mikan Sakura, he had no answers.

She always came into his head and he just couldn't understand why he had her in his head. Why did she consume his thoughts every waking moment? Why does his soul hurt when ever he saw tears run down her face? Why does he feel the urge to hug and her and make sure to keep the evils away from the innocent girl? Why does his heart flutter when she gives him a true, heart-warming smile? Simple, like I said, when it came to Mikan Sakura, Natsume Hyuuga has no answers.

As he carefully walked down the halls, he made sure that no one noticed that he was injured. Natsume didn't want to worry Mikan or show Persona his weakness. Though he tried to hide his injury, one person saw through his mask. That one person was of course Mikan.

"Natsume!"

"What do you want little girl?"

"You are just so reckless."

"Hn" Although, this was his reply, he was quite surprised that Mikan was still talking to him after the incident, but that didn't last long because he notice that Mikan had a fake smile on. The smile she put on in front of people so they wouldn't have to worry about them.

"You really should be more careful!" After she said this, she dragged him into her room and bandaged up his legs. Mikan was actually good at treating wounds and Natsume felt renewed. "There that should do it! You really should be more careful. You are just lucky that you have me around."

"…."

"Natsume," she said while her eyes soften up and looked at him with care and love, "why do you have to do this? Why just you? You don't deserve this! You already have done enough for this school and you don't need to do anymore. You have already sacrificed everything for us. But, why? Why do you do all of this for all of us?"

"Don't look where you don't belong little girl. You don't need to know this stuff. It has nothing to do with you so leave it be." He said as he covered his saddened eyes with is raven hair.

"But….but…you can't just do that! You just can't shut everyone out of your life like that. We all care for you!"

"Why? Why do you care for me so much?"

"Be…..because….I….I lov…..I love you!" following that Mikan gasped at what came out of her mouth and stood there with a shade of dark red over her face. While Natsume stood there in shocked at what he heard.
