Natsume

Where am I? It's so dark and cold yet it's hot at the same time. How is that possible? Am I dead? I don't think I am. If I were in hell, wouldn't there be fire and the screams of tortured souls? I'm not in heaven am I? If I were wouldn't be all bright and cheery? So not heaven and not hell, I guess I'm not dead. Then where am I?

"Natsume, Natsume." A girl's voice penetrated my thoughts. Who is it? I think I know that voice from somewhere.

"Idiot let him sleep." Another girls voice came in. I know that voice too. But who is it?

"No, she's o.k., Hotaru. The doctor said he should be waking up anytime now." A boy's voice came in. But I knew this one. It was Ruka.

"Natsume, can you hear me?" the first girl said.

"Ugh" Was that me? "Ugggh" Yep definitely me. Man I hurt.

"Natsume, are you o.k.?" the first girl said with a lot of worry in her voice.

"Of course he's not O.K.." The girl I guessed was Hotaru said. "He almost died and he would have if you weren't there to save him."

What?! I almost died? How?

"Well, someone had to save him. We're just lucky I got there in time." Girl number one said

"Thank you for saving him, Mikan." Ruka sobbed. "I don't even want to think about what I would do without him." Ruka. He's such a crybaby when he gets all emotional. I bet he's at the end of my bed right now crying his eyes out.

I better wake up they seem pretty worried about me. But I'm tired and I never get the chance to sleep. But I am kind of curious about what happened to me. Alright find out now and sleep later. "Ruka, Mikan Hotaru."

"Natsume!" Mikan squeaked

"He's awake!" Ruka yelped

"About time." Hotaru said

I opened my eyes and like I thought Ruka was at the end of my bed bawling his eyes out. Hotaru was sitting next to him. She had a box of tissues in one hand and his hand in her other. Sitting right next to me on the bed was Mikan.

"Ruka, your such a crybaby." I said and he gave me a gigantic grin which looked really weird with tears running down his cheeks.

"God, Natsume! You gave me a heart attack. Don't scare me like that again." Mikan said. Then she kissed me gently on the cheek.

"What happened to me? I feel awful."

"Do you remember anything?" Mikan asked.

"No"

"Well, Persona was putting you on too many missions and you were getting pissed, because you get spend any time with Mikan. So you went to kick his ass. You failed and he almost killed you." Hotaru said casually.

"First, Hotaru, Language. Second, I think he notices the failure and third I wasn't the only reason he was PO'ed" Mikan said

"You may not be the only reason but you're the main reason." I said smoothly and she blushed bright red. Then I kissed her.

"Get a room." Hotaru grumbled.

"Technically this is my room." I said.

"Technically this is the hospital." She said smiling in her Ha-I'm-better-than-you-because-you-lost-and-I-won smile. While I just laid their and glared at her. She is so luck I'm too exhausted to use my alice. If I could have used my alice she would be a pile of ashes right now.

"Alright you two that's enough."Ruka finally said.

"O.k.." I said reluctantly "How long am in here for this time"

"The doctor said you might be out of here tomorrow." Ruka said happily.

"That's if you do what he tells you." Mikan said in her do-what-say-or-I-can-totally-kick-you-ass voice. Then the doctor came in.

"Speak of the devil." Hotaru whispered to Ruka, which made him giggle.

"Well, Hello there sleepy head." The doctor said as he strode across the room and started taking my pulse and stuff. "Well, everything checks out normal. I think you'll be out of here by tomorrow, but right now you need to rest. And as for you three, visiting hours are over. Say you're good bye's and he'll be back in class tomorrow." Then he nodded and left the room.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Ruka said reluctantly and left the room with Hotaru Following beside him.

"I'll see you tomorrow, hot stuff." Mikan said and we kissed again. "Do what the doctor tells you and get some rest. I want to see you tomorrow."

"Alright, alright. I'll do what the doctor tells me to" I said smiling at her.

"I love you. Get some rest. Bye." She said hugging me.

"Love you too, polka dots. Bye." I kissed her again and then she left.

After a few minutes, I drifted lazily into a dreamless sleep.
