= Waiting for his love =

In the few days that came, Mikan seemed to be better and happier, but she kept her distance away from Natsume. Canteen seemed like a game of cat and mouse chase, it was either they sat opposite ends of the table or she tried her best to stop herself being in the same room as Natsume. Not only did this seem strange for Natsume but mostly everyone in school. Every student body in the school were placed in sudden surprise when Mikan had created an awkward distance between the two, after given the official name as the, cutest and best, couple from the popularity challenge, which Natsume had won, resulting to Natsume having a check kiss from the school's sweetheart angel Mikan. Although Natsume hated the distance and it was killing him physically and internally, as he drowned himself with coffee and late night manga. He started to realise that nothing would change unless he actually put some effort in this relationship. Just like that everything seemed to have fallen in place.

'Mikan-chan, let's go to an funfair' Anna randomly spoke as she poked her food suspiciously

'REALLY, can we Hotaru' Mikan screamed oblivious of the Anna's suspicious aura. 'I've already booked it, so you're coming no matter what' Hotaru spoke as she kept working on the new location gadget.

'WHAT SO IT'S PRIVATE' Mikan screamed surprised about the amount of effort her best friend put in

'So are we all in or I'm going to kick that person in the ass' Misaki checked as she arrived at the table

As the girls arrived at the funfair which was deserted yet it felt lively with all the music and the lights that kept on sparkling as it circled around the whole park. Combinations of rides were parked next to each other, ready to be switched on and played with. As some of the girls slip up to purchase some food while Anna and Mikan sat down near the benches. It seemed an unfamiliar present emerged from the shadows of the desecrated funfair; three male students that seemed older came marching to them with smirks planted on their face. All three were wearing black leather jackets with a plain white t-shirt, although the bottom half weren't all the same as they wore different tones of blue jeans. Chains were either dangling from the top of the jeans or spikes was sewed on. The aura that they gave wasn't very pleasant to the girl and was unwanted.

'This place is private property so I suggest you leave' Anna spoke confidently, not wanting to show how scared she was by their appearance

'We don't want much sugar coat, I'm sure you need someone to embrace you in such a silent place, so why don't you be my babe.' the second one said as they stepped forward again. They were currently overshadowing the girls, as they stood up in front of the bench table while the girls were seated on the other side of the bench chairs.

'We rather not, so can you leave' Mikan sternly spoke but it wasn't missed that her hand was shaking from their appearance. 'Harsh, you don't seem to have a boyfriend, why don't I help calm you down' as he leaned over the table placing his hand on Mikan. Mikan instantly tried to pull her hand away but the more she tried to slip her hand away, the more grip and pressure he place on her overpowering her weak strength. Causing her to be pulled forward making her cm's from the stranger's face.

'Nobody tells us what to do, mostly you' He quietly warned her as he whispered into her ear, sending unpleasant shivers down her spine as she gasped surprised.

'Thanks for taking care of my girl, but I think I can take charge now.' Natsume calmly hissed at the stranger as he snacked one of his hand around Mikan's curvy waist, as the he used the other to snatch back Mikan's hand from the pervert's hand.

'Natsume' Mikan gasped at the surprised figure

'Surprise' Natsume smiled as he looked at her, printing a smile onto her face

'Now let me sort you out' Natsume broke the eye contact and stared ahead to the 3 guys that were quiet afraid after hearing his name. 'We didn't mean to Natsume, I mean Sir' the three guys stepped back as they kept bowing.

'Well that wasn't the case in my eyes, she told you to leave yet you didn't' Natsume smirked. 'Natsume its fine, please' Mikan looked up to him, as the hazel eyes shimmered in Natsume's eyes. He unconsciously spoke 'leave'

'This is your entire fault Polka' Natsume blamed her as he grumpily as he knelled down in front of her. Looking sternly at her he calmly spoke 'This wasn't an order but my choice, Polka'

'You heard'

'Curiosity took over' Natsume subtly lied, never would he admit to the fact that he was worried about her and confused why she was annoyed.

Flashback:

Fences were planted around a green field that had some patches of crispy over-fried grass strokes that were partly bent because of previous visitors, whilst the remaining healthy grasses circled the trees. In the corner near a circular shaved bush laid a girl, hunched like a cotton wool. As that girl wimped in the corner unable to stop the tears from rolling down her swollen eyes, it was interrupted when a comforting hand pulled Mikan's lifeless body from the slimy textured grass to the wooden cracked bench that was placed next to pavement

'Hotaru' Mikan wailed as she leaned on her shoulder as Hotaru patted her back slowly

'Am I really that fat? Am I really that loud…Why am I so annoying in his eyes? Hotaru, I don't know what to do, why do I care about what he says. Why did you guys force him, why does he have to do these things? Why did he kiss me, why pick me up, if he didn't like me? Why did he have to follow their orders? Why couldn't it have been his choice? WHY HOTARU' Mikan poured into tear as she cried to answers.

'Baka' was the only word that escaped Hotaru's mouth after Mikan's long speech. All Mikan could do was to raise her head surprised by the answer

'You look ten times uglier when you cry and I'm sure Natsume agree'

Unconscious to the girls, a figure was hidden behind the tree truck, nodding his head agreeing to Hotaru statement. Before he left the park, a genuine smile crept on his face as he spoke 'Baka'

End of flashback –

Mikan blushed liked a tomato that Natsume heard her confession, but silently smiled that he chased after her.

'Umm, Natsume why are you looki-' Mikan quietly asked him as he pierced his crimson eyes. But was interrupted by a planted kiss from Natsume, as he peeled his lips away from her soft rosy lips, smirking.

'I underestimated you, Polka'

Mikan turned different shades of red and leaving a glowing smile on her face. Everything seemed to have slowed down, except her heart which was beating faster than a light. Overwhelmed by his sudden confession, she leaped from her chair into Natsume's built arms, bear hugging him tightly.

'Get a room' Sumire interrupted their happy mood

Mikan quickly leaped out of Natsume's arm as she quickly dusted her skirt and stood up straight while she left Natsume on the floor stained with mud.

'Hyuga you make her lose a tear again and I'll kill you personally' Hotaru warned her as she pointed her baka gun

'Are you out of your senses, Imai?'

'I'll take that as a yes'

'Hotaru stop making everything negative' Misaki told Hotaru tired that she kept turning sweet things into something bad

'I have my reasons' Hotaru darkly spoke. 'Mostly when I have this bad feeling' Hotaru quietly whispered but Misaki caught it but didn't react, afraid she would scare Mikan

'Can we start now' Nonoko tried to ask politely but she couldn't hold the excitement in

'LETS START' Koko screamed while he snatched Sumire's hand as he dragged her to another direction

'WHERE YOU taking me you, idoit' Sumire's cried and screamed, as her voice slowly disappeared into the distance.

'We're off then' Tsubasa informed before he jumped off with Misaki into another direction

'Eh, DON'T DRAG ME' Misaki told him off, as he tired being sweet.

'Come on bunny boy' Hotaru ordered as she dragged him by the collar

'Hotaruuuuu, please let me walk' Ruka cried trying to escape her grasp

'Mohu Mochu, can we go to the food arena' Anna begged him.

'the fuck Anna? Out of all the places you want to go to the most unromantic place' Mochu asked surprise that this girl didn't want to go to the horror maze so that she could cling onto him

'Nonoko, should we go to the haunted house?' Yuu gently asked her. 'Eh but … but I don't know if I can survive it' Nonoko turned dark shades of red. (bubbles coming out of her head like anime drawings)

'Wait you're all going?' Mikan cried

'Come on polka, I've got a surprise for you' Natsume dragged her away from Mikan's purpose of being there: the rides. Plopping himself on the smooth bouncy grass, he pulled Mikan's shirt so she landed next to him. Although silence consumed both of them, it felt comfortable, so comfortable that they laid there for hours

-Hotaru and Ruka-

'HOTARUUUUUUU' Ruka cried, as Hotaru robot kept poking her with her gadget

'I WON' Hotaru calmly spoke but had a hint of happiness in her speech

'UNFAIR' Ruka sulked as he crossed his arm and looked away.

'HERE SO SHUT UP' Hotaru shoved a cute white rabbit onto Ruka's arm. Ruka's eye glowed, as a smile crept onto his face

'STOP BLUSHING, BUNNY BOY' Which only made Ruka blush a deeper red. 'UNFAIR YOU BLUSED TOO HOTARU' Ruka poked a finger into her soft checks, as she tried walking ahead

-Anna and Mochu-

'HOWS THIS' Anna stuffed a spoonful of random ingredients into his face

'NOPE' Mochu glared at her, as he closed his lips tight

'MOCHU MOCHU, this is the last' Anna waved her hands side to side while pouting at mocha

'FINE' Mochu opened his mouth expecting something to go in but it landed onto his cheeks. Shocked and astonished, Mochu was left frozen as he looked at Anna giggling on the floor while tightly clutching her belly

'YOOOUUUUU' Mochu stood up, as he picked up a plate of dish

'Mochu, please dont' As Anna slowly crept back while also begging him, as Mochu evil smirked, scooping a portion of the food off the dish.

As they ran laps around the deserted canteen trying to revenge each other for the mess they called. Laughing and shouting, echoed the area while on the other side screams and tears were projected.

-Nonoko and Yuu-

'YUUUUUU' Nonoko cried as she curled up in the corner, lost and stranded, she silently hoped that he was suddenly appear

'Hehehehhe' Yuu came out of the corner snickering

'You didnt' Nonoko glared at her, as she rose from her earlier position, marching towards Yuu, holding her fist in the air

'Umm Nonoko it was only a jokeeeee' Yuu sweat dropped as he ran away scared of being bruised.

-Tsubasa and Misaki-

'TSUBASAAAA' Misaki screamed from the side walk, after walking for internity, he was still riding on the

-Permy and Koko-

-Mikan and Natsume-

'OHHH GET THAT ONE' Mikan screamed at Natsume, as she kept tugging his shirt whilst pointing at the fish that keep swimming in a circular motion

'It's a tissue not a net, how could I' Natsume complained at her, as her demains were driving up the wall. Mostly because he had used up to 200 paper nets to catch the fish but was unlucky in all rounds

'LET ME TRY' Mikan tried to snatch the net of his hand

'Buy it yourself, or kiss me' Natsume smirked at her 'But I don't have money, that's unfair' Mikan sulked as she cried in the corner

'HERE BAKA' Natsume shoved two nets to her face, so she wouldn't be upset anymore. As Mikan smiled in glee that Natsume was finally being nice, it all went down the drain 'you own me a kiss'

-Moments later-

'Natsume?' 'Sleep baka' Natsume tilted her head so that her head was now on top of his arm as they laid on the grass looking up into the sky. Tired and bored, Mikan figured with her watch

'AHHHHH…. Natsume what about school?' Mikan screamed into Natsume's ears making him nearly tone deaf.

'Fuck Mikan, I've already planned it all' Natsume scolded her as he massaged his left ear.

'Huh?' As she turned waiting for Natsume to elaborate himself, although she knew she was asking for the impossible.

'We going travel back in my personal caravan'

'ARE YOU REALLY NATSUME?' Mikan sarcastically asked as she pulled his cheeks to check if it was a mask on him. 'Don't act stupid baka' Natsume glared at her for thinking he was an unorganized person

'Miss, Natsume sir has been located'

'Good work, if there isn't left, I'll be leaving'

'Wait Miss, Natsume sir isn't by himself. He seems to be occupied with someone else and from my knowledge they seem very close'

'Miss, are you there'

'Keep speaking'

'Miss that's all I can tell you since they're currently sleeping next to each other in a grass field'

'Well that's not good, I guess it time to pay him a little surprise visit' A light chuckle was heard on the other line.

How was it, hope its getting better because if it's not ahhh I'm going to be crying in my sleep :D

Thanks for the reviews, I nearly on my 30th review – SOOOO CLOSE :D
