Okay I am sooooooooooo sorry about this late update! This was not acceptable at all. I mean The last time I updated was the beginning of APRIL! This is sad. But I have been very busy with my senior project trying to get it finished (by tomorrow =P) and everything. But I needed a break and finished this chapter which I started a few weeks ago. Its a bit long than my other ones but thats because I've been listen to GLEE's version of Jessie's Girl. I 3 Finn. He is almost as awesome as Brittany and Sue. Just saying. Okay Enjoy!

"Dude, are you like serious?" asked Mochu as he and the gang looked at me holding Mikan's hand. Mikan was blushing furiously and tried to let go but I refused.

"Got a problem with my choice of girlfriends?" I asked.

"But this is Mikan Sakura we are talking about. She is a misfit!" Koko exclaimed exhaling the smoke from his cigarette.

"Don't get near me or her with that thing. Plus, it can kill you." I told him.

"Since when do you care about smoke Fire Boy? You are almost addicted to this stuff than all of us combined! She has you whipped man." Kitsume responded.

"I would appreciate if you didn't talk about me as if I'm not here…it's rude." Mikan whispered.

"Natsume, it's like they taught us in Science, two different forces can't go together! Plus as the President of your fan club, this could ruin your image!" Sumire told me.

"Like I care about that anymore. I gave up caring about my image when I was put in that play. Now move, Mikan has a first period." I said angrily as I walked past them with Mikan.

"Natsume you really don't have to hang around me. Knowing you are on my side is more than enough." She said still embarrassed with the situation of me gripping her hand.

Without saying a word, I lead her straight to her locker. She silently opened it and started to shake. She then turned a weird shade of pink, which, if I was correct, was the beginning of her dizzy spells. Quickly, I picked her up before she started to fall and rushed her straight to the Nurse's room.

Without questioning, the nurse let me in after glancing at Mikan.

"I'm guessing that you know about Miss Sakura's condition." The nurse stated. I nodded.

"Well, it's not normal for her to have it so early in the morning. But I guess she will have them more often now. Just be aware and help her whenever you can." She said pouring a glass of water for Mikan to drink when she wakes up.

After ten minutes, Mikan slowly opened her eyes and gave me a very small smile. She slowly sat up and picked up the glass of water beside her. After drinking the water, the color in her face came back and the weird pink color disappeared. I then looked at my phone clock and noticed that it was half way through first period and no reason go. Mikan looked worried and started to get out of the bed.

"No," I said to her. "Wait until second period."

"I think it was the stress of your friends not liking me and everyone looking at me with you. I felt a bit embarrassed is all. Sorry to trouble you." She stated starting to cry.

"Stop crying. You become 80% uglier than before. Besides I signed up for this right, stupid? So whatever happens to you is my problem now."

"But your friends…"

"They aren't real friends if they don't accept you. Besides, they hate the fact I became…" I stopped at this point. I didn't want her to know what they thought of me.

"What? Please tell! Come on Natsume tell me!" Mikan nearly yelled. Tch, she could be such a child sometimes.

"Nothing. Just that, I have matured and they didn't…" I was embarrassed after saying that to her. I didn't even look at her. But she slowly grabbed my hand and placed it in her palm.

"Natsume, you have matured. And there is nothing bad about it. But I must say, I found the new you more attractive than your old jerky one." She explained to me. She then slowly pecked me on the check and gave me her beautiful gorgeous smile of hers. Sadly, I didn't know how long I would see that smile…

Every day, we did something that was on her dream list. I drove her to the border line of two cities so that she could stand in both cities at the same time. She didn't think it would be possible, but she did it! I even helped her beat her best friend and older brother Tsabasa in a video game. I told him he had to give his all or else. I guess he was a bit afraid of me but it could have been his girlfriend who threaten to never do "certain things" with him if he doesn't play fair. With my help she won and Shadow Boy (I don't know why I started calling him that, but there must be some inside joke I was missing…) lost fair and square.

There was even a day when we stayed up all night watch the sun set and then rise the next morning while watching the stars. That day I was able to fulfill a few more of her wishes. We decided to camp out in the Cemetery because the sky was clearer. So we started to set up the telescope and everything else so that when the sun set, we had everything we needed. As Mikan was setting something up, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Brother where are you?" It was Aoi.

"Out with Mikan, I won't be coming home tonight."

"!"

"We are watching the stars tonight and watching the sunrise stupid."

"Oh, okay! I thought you meant something else *Cough cough*"

"…"

"Well you did say-"

"I KNOW WHAT I SAID!"

"Well I'm glad to see that you are being gentle with a girl for once. I mean, your record with girls hasn't been…good. But Mikan is special right?"

"…I have to go…"

"Okay, I will cover you. Dad is home looking for you. He said if you don't come home, he will punish you like never before. I don't want to know what that is like…"

"Okay no problem. I'll call Ruka and see if he will cover. Bye."

After hanging up with Aoi, I told Mikan I had to make another call before we started. She smiled and told me to do whatever I need to do.

"Hello, this is Ruka!"

"…Ruka why do you sound so upbeat?"

"I have a date tonight Natsume! Can you believe it? Well its more like I was forced to do it but-"

"Whatever, cover for me okay?"

"Why? What are you doing that…are you with Sakura-san?"

"…"

"Natsume, what is wrong with you?"

"I just…look are you going to cover for me or what?"

Ruka was silent for a minute before agreeing. I was actually surprised that he would agree to this since he doesn't really like Mikan that much.

"If she is your girlfriend, then I will support you. I mean for you to pick her out of ALL the cute girls is beyond me, but you like her. So, I will learn to like her too."

After our conversation ended, Mikan and I started our date watching the sun set, the stars shine, and waiting for the sun rise again. Mikan fell asleep a lot of times due to the fact that as the weeks pass, she was getting weaker. I could tell the difference from when I first walked into the school with her in my arms and now many different things about her.

Her skin was beginning to turn a little pale by the week and her eyes were starting to drupe just a little at a time. She was now sitting out of gym since the exercise was getting to be too much for her. She walks a little bit slower sometimes and wants to sit down more often. I know that is just the effects of the cancer, but sometimes it is hard for me to deal with what is going on. I really love Mikan, I really do. But the thought of losing her one day just eats me up inside. I have shed a few tears after a day out with her, realizing that that could be my last time with her. That any moment of the day, she could faint and never wake up? That's why I wanted to make this night truly special for her. I wanted to have an extra special date since I noticed that she was getting weaker as the days passed. I wanted to see her shine.

It was about four hours before sunrise and Mikan had just woken up and got out the tent.

"Natsume? Would you mind guiding me to my mother's grave? I will like to speak to her." She asked pulling the blanket over her shoulders just a little more. I nodded and helped her find her way to her mother. I paid my respects to Mrs. Sakura and walked away a little bit to give Mikan space. After she was done, she got up and walked over to me. Before she was even half way there, I walked over to her and walked her back to her mother's grave.

"Natsume what are you doing?" she questioned.

I didn't even say anything. Instead, I handed her a small blue box with a polka dot ribbon. She looked at me with a puzzled look and opened it. Waiting for her inside was a small ring with a blue stone in the center of it and shiny red stones surrounding it. Her eyes grew wide and she was speechless.

"I know that your father might not like this, but I had to express my feelings to you some more. This is my first gift to you." I said looking at her beautiful face.

"A Promise Ring?"

"Yes and don't say that you can't promise me anything, but you have. So I want to make a promise to you."

"And what is that?" she tearfully asked.

"To stay by your side till the end. I will promise you happiness till the very end." I know I sounded stupid, but that was all I could think of saying. I then walked her back to the telescope and positioned it to point it in a spepical position.

"Is this my next surprise?" she asked me.

"…"

"What? There is no more?"

"Look, can't a guy find Mikan Sakura without being questioned?" I asked.

"Well sorry Mr. Grumpy Pants but I didn't…wait…I'M RIGHT HERE STUPID!"

"Baka, I'm talking about a star."

"HEY HOW CAN…I be…a…did you…!" She then pushed me out the way to look through the telescope. I silently smiled as I saw her start to smile and hug me.

"You named a star after me?" she asked me.

"Duh, what else would I do in my spare time?" I said.

She then kissed me. For the first time she kissed me. I was shocked to feel her soft, pink lips on mine. But it felt so…right. Sure I was a bad boy and have been with many girls in the past. But none of their lips felt like hers did. I kissed back wanting to deepen the kiss but I knew that she would get tired. Yet she shocked me even more than ever. She gently licked my lips which caused me to let her gain access to my mouth. I had no problem with what we were doing. I mean I loved her. And she was so beautiful. Plus she IS my girlfriend. Last time I checked, it wasn't wrong to make out with your girlfriend. I knew she was grateful for what I gave her, but I also knew she would get weak from what we were doing. I stopped us for a moment to catch our breath.

"Mikan, I'm grateful for your thank you but how do you feel?" I asked her with my forehead touching hers.

"I have never felt better!" she said looking at me with her soft brown eyes. She had a glow to her that I have never seen before. I thought maybe she was cold. Yet before I could think any further, she started kissing me again and our make out session continued.

I must say, for a goody-good, she knew her stuff. I was wondering if it was because of the Ice Queen but I didn't bother to ask her. For some reason, Mikan was on fire. I taught her some tricks and she copied them perfectly. Before I knew it, the sun was rising which meant we had to part soon.

"I just thought of something Natsume." Mikan said to me as we were lying on the cemetery floor watching the sunrise.

"What?" I asked.

"Our love is just like the wind, I can't see it. Yet I can feel it."

I couldn't agree more with her. And with that, I kissed her one more time before the sun fully came up to greet us.

R&R please and thank you! 6/10/10 is graduation!
