Chapter 4
"I'm Juliet Margarita. I'm the FIANCEE of Natsume!" she said with a smirk and emphasizing the word 'fiancee' clearly.
"FIANCEE!" they shouted with all shocked and confused face. (They shouted, but not that loud.)
"Yes, I am Natsume's fiancee" she said as she approached the confused Natsume.
-
All their jaw dropped! (A/N: Honestly, who wouldn't? By the way the gang didn't know about what happened 2 years ago, except for Houtaru and Ruka. They still thought that Natsume and Mikan have a relationship, that's why their shock.)
-
"Who are you?" asked Natsume
"Don't be silly Natsume, I'm your fiancee!"
"Fiancee!... Are you sure?!"
"Why...don't you like me?" she said with teary-eyes
"...it's not that...it's just-" he was cut off by Juliet
"But...I thought...you love me?!"
-
Natsume's POV
I stayed silent for minutes, finding words to answer her 'simple' question... Why am I feeling like this? I'm not happy of what she has told me. It's like I'm waiting for someone. Do...I love...somebody else? Then...who? Where could she be?!
-

Meanwhile in Mikan's Room
-
"Ne, nee-chan, I think we should visit onii-chan now." Youichi said
"Onii-chan..."
"Natsume nii-chan!"
"You mean... Natsume is here! Why didn't you tell me?!" Mikan said with her worry eyes. (A/N: After all the things he has done to her, she still loves him!)
-
Everybody sweatdropped!!!
-
"All this time... you didn't know, Sakura-san?" Ruka asked.
Mikan just nodded.
"Baka" Hotaru said.
"Hotaruuuuu... you're so mean! By the way, why is Natsume here in the hospital?" she asked
"Well...he also had an accident. Just like you." she calmly replied with her expression less face.
-
Mikan jumped out of the bed.
-
"Then let's go and visit him!" I hope his alright!
-
She grabbed Youichi by the hand and run to Natsume's room.
--
Back to Natsume's Room (still Natsume's POV)
--
I was really in deep thought then the door slammed. I looked at the door... I saw a brunette-haired girl with a silver-haired kid at her side, holding her hands. Then followed by a raven-haired girl and a blonde boy.
--
"Ohayo minna-san!" the brunette girl greeted. But nobody replied.
-
She walked to me and said...
-
"Natsume-kun, daijobou?"
"Who are you?" I simply replied
"..." she just stared at me with a shocked and worried expression.
"Natsume, what's wrong with you?" the blonde boy asked.
"Koko, who are these people? Are they my friends, too?" I asked him.
-
Koko just nodded.
-
"Mikan-chan...Ruka...Hotaru...Youichi..." Koko said
"WHAT?"
"Natsume has an..."
"A WHAT??"
"...an amnesia..."
-
End of Natsume's POV
-
Mikan, Ruka and Youichi were shocked. Hotaru just remained calm. Then there was a deffying silence...
-
" Ni-chan...don't you remember me?" Youichi asked.
"Gomen ne!" he said while looking down. Natsume felt bad for the boy, he also felt that he is close to him.
-
Youichi started crying. Mikan hug him...
-
"Don't worry, Youichi! We're still here remember!" she said while sweetly smiling.
Her smile, it makes everything so right. Why do I have this feeling? I felt that whenever she smile, it's like a big load is lifted from me. Why do I fell that she's really important in my life. Is she ... is she the one... the one that... I truly loved?!... Damn!! What are you thinking?! You have a fiancee, damned it!... But I don't think or more likely feel that I love her. Natsume thought.
-
Just after that last thought, Koko burst out laughing.
-
"Koko, why are laughing? Anna asked
Natsume gave him a 'just-try-to-tell-and-you'll-be-burned-to-ashes' look. Upon seeing this look he instantly stopped laughing, not wanting to burned.
"Nothing...Anna. I just... remembered something." Koko answered.
-
Mikan approached Natsume...
-
"I'm Mikan Sakura." she said as she held her hand for him to shake it. Natsume took it...
-
"Nice to meet you." he said in a very cold voice
This made her sad, but she didn't let anyone to see it. She just flash a fake smile.
"Nice to meet you, too!" she said. "By the way, this is Youichi." she said as she carried him.
"Hi, little guy. Sorry if I didn't remember you." he said as he patted Youichi's head.
"It's okay onii-chan! As long as you let me treat and call you as my brother..." Youichi said
Natsume just nodded. Then he looks down...
"Natsume, what's wrong?" Mikan asked
"I'm sorry..." he said. You really can't see his teary eyes because it is covered by his bangs.
"Sorry for what?" Nonoko asked
"Sorry for...not remembering you..."
"It's not your fault, Natsume!" Ruka assured him
"Yeah it's not your fault. So, cheer up Natsume." Mikan sais and smiled
"Thanks, guys."
"Well... it's not late for new memories, right?" Mikan asked (or more likely, said)
"Yeah, Mikan's right! Mochu aggreed
"Then let's bring him to places thae he has many memories of!" Sumire said
"Yeah, maybe... just maybe...he'll remember us by that!" Nonoko exclaimed
"Okay, so it's settled then! After Natsume is discharge from the hospital, let's bring him first to the Alice Academy." Ruka said.
"Yeah, that would be nice!" Anna said
"We will be able to visit our teachers , too!" said Koko.
"So, will that be okay with you, Natsume?" he asked facing Natsume.
"If it helps... then, why not." Natsume said
-
Mikan really felt sad because Natsume didn't remember the, 'especially her'. But she is also happy because she's gonna be with HER one and only love... Natsume...
