Chapter 2

Time goes by really fast until the last dance came. The girls wore a blue dress with lots of ruffles in them. They wore a shiny silver tiara on their heads. The boys wore simple tuxedos. There was a variety of colors for the boys to wear such as black, blue, white and red. Mikan went to the room where the ball was to be held, with Hotaru. Once they got there, Mikan admired the sight she saw. There were lots of people in the room dancing to the tune of Mozart's Sonata 16. After a short while, Mikan lost track of Hotaru so she walked to one of the tables and sat on a chair.

Ruka: Mikan-chan…

Mikan: Oh, Ruka-pyon…

Ruka: Would you care to dance with me…?

Mikan: Sure!

They had fun dancing as usual. Then Ruka invited Mikan to go for some walk since they're already exhausted. They strolled on a path through some trees. The sky was shining brightly full of stars. They were not aware that someone was following them.

Natsume's POV

I climbed one of the trees near the both of them. As skillful as I am, that didn't take me very long. They stopped for a while. I could see Mikan look at the sky and admiring the stars. They were talking very softly that I couldn't even hear them. I nearly feel of my hiding place when I saw Ruka turned to face Mikan and suddenly kissed her.

Normal POV

Mikan: Ru…ka…-pyon…?

Mikan said wide-eyed and surprised.

Ruka: Mikan, I want you to keep this a secret…

And he walks away after saying that.

Mikan: Ru…ka…….

Mikan's POV

I managed to find a little consciousness to walk. I don't know how because my mind was really preoccupied. I knew I couldn't face Ruka-pyon from now on. I walk towards the woods, one hand unconsciously touching my lips.

I really didn't know where I was heading. The next thing I knew was that my feet touched midair and I found myself falling. I didn't even realize that a tree was burning.

Natsume's POV

I felt so hurt that I immediately burned a nearby tree. I jumped off from my hiding place and I found Mikan walking alone. I wondered where Ruka was. I followed Mikan to the quarry near the cliff. She seemed unaware of her surroundings. She touched her lips. I felt disgusted. I turned away to hide my face. Nest thing I knew I heard a scream. Mikan was falling off the cliff! I moved swiftly to catch her.

I arrived just in time. We were then standing next to a tree, Mikan safe in my arms. I held her close. She smelled like strawberries. She wept softly on my chest. Ho I loved her. Then I remembered I was supposed to be mad at her.
