Complicated love

By: Autumn

Past chapter recap:

'We've been asked on many group dates and we always decline.'

'Mikan, this time it's with Misaki's boyfriend'

'WHAT, REALLY… YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME. I'M IN' Everyone in the room sweat dropped at Mikan's slow mind, wondering where Mikan's brain has been most of the time in the conversation.

'Okay three in, two to go'

'We'll I guess since everyone going we twins could make an exception'

'Oh its fine, you'll love them, you'll love it indeed' Misaki spoke with an evil grin

Stradella Bella Restaurant:

'Misaki, are you sure we can afford this' Nonoko scanned the area only finding filthy rich people chattering about their brunch and laughing at their sarcasm. 'Chill guys, Tsubasa said it was his treat so we might as well spend as much money' Misaki replied relaxingly while taking her napkin out of its nice folded bend

'You've gained my respect again, Misaki. Spend and make your boyfriend bankrupt'

'Hotaru, I don't think I was going down that route.' Misaki sweat dropped.

'GUYS, GUESS WHAT I JUST SAW' Anna came screaming into the restaurant. 'Anna would you be a bit quieter, you're ruining my image' Sumire spoke behind the gigantic menu in front, so that unwanted attention wouldn't reach her.

'Sumire I don't care about your image right now, I just saw them outside'

'Seaweed hair' Popped a voice out of nowhere. 'EHHHHHH, Why are you here sandy?' Sumire screamed this time, totally surprised by his sudden appearance; also receiving many unwanted glares from the other customers.

'Aww Seaweed-chan, am I not good enough for you' Koko cried while exaggerating his movement making it theatrical. 'Of course you're not enough for me' Sumire bluntly put it, while trying to turn her body away from him.

'I'm hurt'

'How do you think I feel, I was expecting someone handsome?'

'Aww Sumire-chan you don't need to praise me'

'Guys cut this cheesy talk its weird'

'Mochu shut up, I saw you flirting in form class' Koko quickly defended him from having his self pride being damaged. 'Where is Anna-chan anyways…she still owns me that date' Mochu asked thin air, ignoring Koko's earlier comment

'Ohayo, have our dates arrived yet' Anna arrived back to the table after releasing her bowel

'Ohayo cookie girl'

'OH Mochu-shi why you here?'

'Already forgot about the debt your own me'

'Debt?... oh the date'

'Then why are you going off with other guys'

'Do I sense jealously in the air?'

'Just don't go off with other dates when you're meant to be with me' Mochu lightly shouted at Anna-chan for being so clueless of his true intentions.

'Imai, I think Sakura-san is missing again'

'I don't need you to state the obvious, bunny boy'

'Imai, please stop calling me that'

'Imai where is she?'

'Natsume, firstly no one bluntly asks me a question. Secondly, its 50,000 rabbits to know' Hotaru coldly pin pointed the basic rules about Hotaru Imai. Causing everyone to sweatdrop and how she just sold her friends location for money. 'Where the hell is she then?' Natsume coldly spoke while handing a stack of cash of money to Imai

'She's 1 second away from here'

'AHHH, sorry guys, I got lost' Ran in Mikan after a second from Hotaru's comment. 'Mikan, you've been in this city for your whole life, didn't your family take you around this area.'

'My family' Mikan whispered, as her face darkened at that statement.

'Mikan-chan, are you alright?' 'Oh, Anna-chan, I'm hungry' Mikan wailed about her empty stomach trying to divert their attentions

'The fuck. This girl has some personality disorder' Natsume thought freaked out by this girls sudden mode change

…..

'Hotaru, can we swap places' Mikan stared into Natsume's eyes while talking to Hotaru who was sitting next to her

'No'

'STOP STARING AT ME NATSUME' Mikan stood up leaning forward to yell at Natsume

'…' Natsume absently thought – why the hell do I keep looking at her, it's not like she's that pretty, what the hell am I thinking, she's not pretty at all.

'WHAT DO YOU WANT?'

'And she has loud mouth too' Natsume spoke his thoughts out loud.

'WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY' Mikan infuriatingly screamed at Natsume. 'Nothing' Natsume quietly spoke while looking to the side pouting

'Then why are you staring at me' 'Why would I stare at a ugly face like yours'

'Like your face is any better'

'Do you know my face is worth more than yours?'

'And what makes you think that my face isn't more expensive than yours?'

'You want to bet' Natsume stood up to emphasis his power and height 'Try me' Mikan equally stood up to match Natsume's height

'Let's see who gets the most at school then and then the loser has to do a dare then' 'FINE, But you betta be prepared, I'm not a part of the crystal angels for no reason'

'And I'm not part of the F5 for no reason'

'Will you two shut up and sit down; you're ruining my crab stick meal' Hotaru shouted annoyed at the two immature bickering

'Mou Hotaru, this guy is being rude' Mikan spoke to Hotaru, as she pointed a accusing finger to Natusme. 'This is guy has a name, and its Natsume'

'Hyuuga' Mikan stubbornly answered while sticking her tongue out. 'Suit yourself, po-l-ka d-ot'

'YOU PEVERT, Now I'm never going to get a boyfriend' 'I don't think anyone is going to be your boyfriend any time soon, polka dots'

'Natsume you're so mean'

'I thought it was Hyuuga'

'Ahh you're driving me nuts, can you just leave'

'It would be an honour but that shadow freak won't let us'

'Don't call Misaki's boyfriend, shadow freak'

'No one orders me.'

'What if I wanted to?'

'This is a joke, I'm leaving' Natsume strode off without a care in the world about the people around. Natsume absently thought – who the hell does she think she is. All of them are bloody weird; don't even know how that shadow freak even met her

'Wait Natsume' Mikan screamed behind concerned if she went over the line with her funny arrogance 'I'll go after him, I'll call you guys later when I find him, okay' Was Mikan's last words before she started to sprint down the road to find no traces of this Hyuuga guys, just when hope was lost, she saw a lifeless body staring into the crowded roads

'Hyuuga what are you doing here, your acting like a zombie'

'…'

'Natsume, who are you looking at?'

'Let's go' Natsume abruptly turned while grabbing her arms, causing her to turn 180 degrees suddenly, which resulted in her spraining her poor ankle

'Natsume' Cried a girl from behind them, before Mikan could even turn around to see the girl. Natsume placed Mikan's head onto his chest so that both girls couldn't see each other faces. Only Natsume could see the girl infront.

'Why are you here?' Natsume coldly spoke to her while tightening his hold on Mikan.

'What, so now it's not a free country for me' She, wittingly and playfully, spoke to him with a bright smile

'Nana leave'

'Why….why natsume' Nana cried, hints of desperation was present in her tone

'This place isn't for you, it's crowded and polluted. The nana I know would hate this place so leave' Natsume spoke while looking down afraid to see those pleading eyes that would only bring guilt

'Natsume-chan, please come back' those were the words that caused Natsume's face to suddenly look up and Mikan's face to suddenly turn around to face the girl, that was the hot topic in their school recently. Nana stood there with hope, while waiting for a reply.

'Nana-chan, I've been trying to find you all this time. I've got the tickets for the night movie. We should get going now, we don't want to put it to waste, huh' Reo popped out of nowhere beside Nana's side while smirking at the sight in front. 'So you've already found another target huh, she's cute and she does have some curves…you've got a good eye' Reo spoke while looking up and down Mikan's body, calculating her curves

'Stay away from her' Natsume growled, pushing Mikan behind him so that Reo didn't get a better sight

'Aww, no need to be so protective, I'm only playing games with you. One is enough for me, don't want to damage too much of your pride at once' Reo smirked while snaking his arms around Nana's petite waste. All Natsume could do was stare at the ground below them, waiting for something to eat him up

'Me and Natsume are doing great too, Oh and even if one wasn't enough, we would never be a collection. Unlike Natsume, your personality stinks all around. Secondly, you don't seem like the type that could bring any happiness to anyone anyways…Unlike you my friend, Natsume has a true innocent heart, however you're full of evilness.' Mikan fired back at him with a smirk on her face, standing infront of Natsume while tightening her hold of his hands, trying her best to comfort and rebuild Natsume's confidence. Leaving a twitching eyebrow Reo and a guilty Nana dumbfounded by Mikan sudden outburst.

'You should watch your steps little girl, you'll be over me in no time' Reo darkly threatened her

'Why do people keep telling me that-' Mikan proudly spoke until she was interrupted by her shining armour 'you touch one strand of her hair and you will go down, Reo. I promise you that I won't let this go like I did with Nana' Natsume infuriately shouted at him releasing the emotions that were held up inside of him before holding Mikan's hand and taking her away from this scene

'Sorry' Natsume quietly spoke

'Huh, I didn't hear that…' Mikan pretended to be deaf, lightening the mood. 'You're not only ugly, loud mouth but deaf too' Natsume jokingly stated out her negative points

'YAH, a minute ago you were saying sorry and now your being mean to me.' Mikan stomped ahead but quickly fell to the ground clutching her bruised ankle, wincing in pain.

'We need to get you to the hospital' Natsume quickly rushed to Mikan's side with a surge of sudden worry. 'I'm fine, I just need to bandage it' Mikan cheerfully spoke even though the pain rushing through her leg was unbearable

'Stop acting tough, you're sweating like a pig' Natsume scolded her; picking her up in a bridal way. 'Eh Natsume, I can still walk' Mikan struggled to get out of Natsume's release

'Stop struggling and let me take care of you for today' Natsume quickly spoke trying to hush her

'Sorry, for ordering you around earlier. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have seen them today' Mikan guilty apologised for her immature actions. 'We would have seen them another day anyways, it's not your fault' Natsume assured her.

'Was she your girlfriend Natsume, the one you ditched in the restaurant?' Mikan quickly asked afraid if Natsume would tell her off for asking.

'…'

'Sorry, blame my loud mouth, hehehe. Were close to a corner shop –'

'Was I wrong?' Natsume lifelessly spoke without realising he slowly released Mikan's body from his strong, comforting arms, placing her onto the concrete stairs.

'No one can be fully responsible for everything. Which means that you will be wrong for a part of it but it means that you weren't for the other' Mikan tried to explain her confusing thoughts to Natsume

'Well was I wrong for letting Nana go, and leaving her with that douche bag' Natsume looking directly into Mikan's eyes

'Umm, maybe it was a good thing, have a break from everything and give each other time to think about different things and then maybe you might just realise that in your heart Nana may and may not be as important as you thought'

'Time'

'Yep that's the method; Time is the key to a relationship.' Mikan yelled into the air; jumping with a fist up. Resulting to a surge of pain running through her entire leg, cries were echoed out of her mouth

'Polka dots, are you alright? Let's get to a first aid kit' Natsume spoke hastily concerned about her ankle. He quickly scooped her into his arms while running to his car as quick as he could, as Mikan wrapped her arms around his waist to take away some of the unbearable pain, as running tears left stains on her smooth pearl like skin.

'Sit and don't move' Natsume sternly ordered the injured Mikan as he placed her down on his leather sofa while he left the room to get the first aid kit.

'Eh, this place feels familiar. But I've only just met Natsume. But I'm certain, I'm certain I've been here. Just when and why' Mikan silently thought trying to unravel her past memories. Confusion filled her head as question and curiosity bombarded her head.

I hope you guys like this chapter. I've tried using a different format in writing so that it doesn't seem like a script.
