Chapter 16- Valentine's Day

The next day…

.

"Good morning Mikan-chan." Yuki greeted.

"Good morning Yuki-chan." Mikan greeted back.
"I forgot to ask you, where did you go off last time? You suddenly went missing."

Yuki was pertaining to the time when the Gakuen Alice students arrived at Westfield.

"What last time?" Mikan asked.

"You know when the Gakuen Alice students came?"

Mikan hurriedly thought of an excuse, "Oh, well um… I suddenly felt sick at that time. So I went back to my room." She couldn't tell Yuki the real reason why they left.

"Really? That's also what Koshiba-kun said."

"Is that so? I didn't know that. Ha-ha" Mikan nervously said.

"That's too bad Mikan-chan, we met the students of the Gakuen Alice. One was a crimson eyed boy who was drop dead gorgeous; the other one was a purple eyed beauty who seemed cold. They looked like they're going out. Yuki said.

"Natsume and, Hotaru" Mikan inwardly winced.

She proceeded to her seat and sat next to Devon.

"Good Morning." She said.

"Hn." He said.

They were silent for a few moments. "How are you then? Do you feel alright?" Mikan asked.

He nodded, "Yeah. Thanks for yesterday."

"Okay."

Yuki could hear there conversation. She smiled to herself. "Things are getting interesting here."

At recess…

Yuki walked over to Devon. "Hello, Koshiba-kun."

"Yeah, what do you want?" he asked, taking a drink from his water bottle.

She stared at Mikan and smirked at Devon. "Forgive me if this sounds sudden but Koshiba-kun, you like Mikan-chan don't you." It was more of a statement rather than a question.

Devon was surprised and then he accidentally spit out what he was drinking.

"What do you mean?" he asked coughing. "Don't tell me she knows."

Yuki only smiled. "You should tell her that, Mikan-chan's a little dense so she won't know unless you tell her. I'm counting on you to take care of her Koshiba-kun."

'Excuse me." he said as he walked out of the classroom.

Yuki chuckled. She visited the library.

"Ah, Yuki-chan!" Kyousuke Yajin said.

"H-hi sempai." Yuki said blushing.

"What are you doing here?" he asked smiling.

"I'm here to read a few books." she said.

"Well see you later Yuki-chan!" He said and left.

"Bye." She said.

She stared dreamily at his retreating figure. A dreamy sigh escaped her.

"Sempai…"

At lunch…

"Mikan-chan, do you have anyone you'll be giving this year?" Yuki asked.

Mikan looked up from her delicious warm bentou. "Hm, what do you mean Yuki-chan?"

Yuki fidgeted a bit uncomfortable with the subject. "Well, Valentine's day is coming up so I was wondering if you have any plans to give anyone chocolate."

Mikan thought for a second. "You're right; it is almost that time of the year."

"Who should I give chocolates this year?" Mikan pondered over the thought. Who was she going to give chocolates to this year? It's always been Natsume for her, but she couldn't possibly give him chocolate! That would be absolute madness!

"Oh, I know, Devon. He has been helping me a lot."

"I do have someone I want to give." Mikan finally said.

"Really thencan we make them together Mikan-chan?" Yuki asked. Unbeknownst to Mikan Yuki had been looking at a certain sempai. "Yajin-sempai…"

"Sure." Mikan said smiling.

The day before Valentine's Day

"Let's work hard alright Mikan-chan?" Yuki said.

"Yeah! Let's work hard." Mikan said enthusiastically.

Both of them headed to the school store and bought the ingredients they needed to make the chocolate. Mikan decided to make chocolate with nuts, while Yuki decided to make white chocolate. They both went to the cooking room. Many other girls were also in the cooking room making chocolates.

"This is for Devon-sama!" several fan girls cried.

Mikan and Yuki sweat dropped. Majority of the girls in the cooking room were Devon's fan girls.

After a few hours…

"Ah, we're finally finished." Yuki said.

Mikan used her wrist to wipe the sweat gathering around her forehead.

"Yes finally."

They both wrapped their gifts beautifully. Yuki used a gold wrapper with a red ribbon while Mikan used a silver wrapper with a deep blue ribbon. Mikan suddenly remembered something.

"I've been meaning to ask Yuki-chan, who are you giving those chocolates to?" Mikan asked." Is it sempai?"

Yuki suddenly dropped her scissors.

"Ahahaha, M-Mikan-C-chan… that's not, I mean er…"

"Yuki-chan is something wrong?"

Yuki thought up an excuse. "Mikan-chan, um, we better finish up."

"Oh, you're right! Let's finish then."

"Thank god she gets distracted easily." Yuki thought relieved.

After they finished…

They said their goodbyes and Mikan immediately retreated to her room.

She took out a cute paper and pen.

To: Devon

Thanks for your help these past few days. I really appreciate it.

-Mikan

"I hope he accepts it. There are so many girls who are giving him chocolate." Mikan thought.

Valentine's day

"Kyaa! Devon-sama please accepts our chocolate!" a crowd of fan girls cried.

"No." he said.

"Why not?" the fangirls whined.

"Because I already have someone I like. I won't accept any other chocolate." He said.

"Whaaaat? That's not fair!" They wailed.

Unknown to him, Mikan heard what he said.

"He has someone he likes so he doesn't want to accept any chocolate. I wonder who she is." "Why am I sad?" s Mikan thought sadly. "I have to try."

Mikan tried to give him her chocolates but his fan girls always got in the way. And also Devon kept running away from the girls.

Meanwhile, Yuki was giving her chocolate to Kyousuke…

"Um, sempai, can you accept this?" Yuki asked shyly.

"Oh, um, thank you." Kyousuke said blushing.

Yuki smiled.

"I'm exhausted." Devon thought sitting down behind a tree. He looked around and saw Mikan. "Hey, it's Mikan."

"Where is he?" Mikan thought.

"Hey." A voice said.

She turned around. "Devon." She said.

He stared at the gift. "What's that?"

"Oh, um actually, it was for you but, I overheard you already have someone you like so..." Mikan trailed off.

Devon took the gift. "I'll take it."

"But why I thought you had somebody you like and you only want her chocolates." She said.

"I do and I received it already." He said looking Mikan in the eyes. He smiled.

Mikan's eyes widened a bit. "Devon… "

"Yes?" he asked.

"Really? Who is it?" Mikan asked.

Devon fell down anime style.

"She's that dense?" he thought.

" Well, Thank you." He said.

She smiled. He stared at the chocolate.

"Please wait for a while Mikan, I promise I'll gather enough courage to tell you how I really feel one day!"
