CHAPTER 2 I LOVE YOU MIKAN

Dinner.

Mikan had just finished preparing their dinner. On her way to Natsume's bedroom, she recalled the reason why Natsume was there.

FLASHBACK

When she arrived home, she immediately called her Mom to ask her what's happening since Natsume is not answering her questions. Natsume was beside her.

MIKAN: Hello Mom?

YUKA: Yes baby? How are you? Why did you call? Is everything alright?

MIKAN: Mom, do you know that Natsume is here?

YUKA: Yes. His parents told us that they want Natsume to study there until he finishes his studies. So your Dad and I suggested that he can stay at your house and study at your school since we know that the two of you gets along well. And besides, he is your fiancée.

'Oh great. Looks like my parents sold my soul to the devil.' Mikan thought.

MIKAN: Okay Mom, I understand.

YUKA: Okay baby. Was that all?

MIKAN: Yes Mom. Take care then.

YUKA: Take care baby. We love you.

Then she hung up. Natsume smirked.

"It's not like I really want to be here with you Polka. I'd rather be in a deserted island than to stay in a house with you. But since our parents decided on this, I can't say no," Natsume said. He sure does annoy her.

"Then why not go to that deserted island of yours? I don't want you here, in MY house either," Mikan said.

"I already answered that." Natsume replied.

"Grr. Don't talk to me you hentai! And stop being a jerk!" Mikan was now really pissed off.

"How can I stop when I've never been one?" Natsume calmly said. He smirked towards Mikan's facial expression.

'She sure is cute when she's angry,' Natsume thought.

"Argh!" Mikan yelled in frustration and went to her room since she knows that she will never win against Natsume.

END OF FLASHBACK

Now she's on front of Natsume's door. She knocked three times then went in. She saw Natsume, sleeping with the manga on his chest. She felt a strange feeling inside her. She sat beside the bed and caressed Natsume's raven hair. 'He looks so innocent.' Mikan thought. She remembers the first time they saw each other.

FLASHBACK

"Ne, Mom, I'll just gonna go to the CR," an eight-year-old Mikan said to her Mom.

"Do you want me to accompany you baby?" Yuka asked, worried that her daughter might be lost in that hotel where they were celebrating her birthday.

"Umm, I can manage Mom, don't worry. And Auntie and her family haven't arrived yet, right? I know you missed her a lot since you're best friends. I'm a big girl now. I'll be back soon, I promise," Mikan said with a smile and left. She's nervous since that was the day that she's going to meet her fiancée. Her Mom and her Mom's best friend decided to get their son and daughter married. Mikan's aware of this since her mother already told her about this when she was five. She saw Hotaru eating crab brains in one of the tables.

On her way to the CR, she bumped into someone. She fell to the ground; butt first, her panty showing.

"Polkadots, huh." The boy said, looking at Mikan.

Mikan, realizing what the boy was talking about, popped a nerve and yelled at the boy, "You pervert! How dare you do that?"

Natsume covered his ears and replied, "It's not my fault that you're running here like an idiot and not watching where you're going. And keep your voice low. You're so noisy Polka."

Mikan was now red with anger. She tried to punch Natsume but he dodged it. Mikan tried to punch Natsume again so she walked towards Natsume but then they saw their parents going their way. She stopped and smiled to her parents and Natsume's parents.

"Looks like you finally met each other. Mikan, Natsume here is your fiancée, you'll be married to each other when you both grow up. Be nice to each other,eh?." Yuka said, smiling.

'Great. It's the end of the world.' Mikan muttered under her breath. Natsume just smirked.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Who would've thought that this person can actually look so innocent?" Mikan said to herself.

"Oh, looks like you're falling in love with me now Polka," Natsume suddenly said that made Mikan stand, blushing.

"Who will fall in love with you? I'm not crazy you know." Mikan defensively said. "Let's go. Dinner's ready. I don't have a maid here so you have to eat what I have cooked." Then made her way to the dining room.

"Guess I don't have a choice." Natsume said and followed Mikan towards the dining area.

"It's not as bad as I thought it would taste Polka. I didn't know you can cook." Natsume said, breaking the silence between them while they were eating.

"Well, it's not that easy to live alone. I have to learn how to cook. I don't want a maid. I want to be independent." Mikan replied, ignoring Natsume's teasing.

After dinner, Mikan decided to go to her bedroom early, while Natsume stayed in the living room watching a horror film.

'Ugh, I can't sleep. Maybe I'll just go downstairs and see what Natsume is doing.' Mikan thought. She grabbed her bear, a stuff toy given by Hotaru, when they were thirteen. That was the first time Hotaru gave her a present that is not connected with technology. In the past years, what Hotaru gives her were PSP, laptop, etc.

She saw Natsume, sitting comfortably, watching something. She sat beside Natsume and asked, "What film is this?"

"See for yourself." Was Natsume's reply.

In the middle part of the film, Mikan was startled when she saw the ghosts. She's afraid of ghosts. She immediately hugged Natsume, shaking and crying.

Natsume was surprised, but then she comforted Mikan. "Hey Polka, it's okay. I'm here. Don't cry. Hush now."

Mikan, touched by Natsume's words, stopped. She looked at Natsume and saw concern in his eyes. She then stand up, blushing.

"I-I-I didn't know you were watching a horror film. You could've told me earlier,"Mikan said.

"I didn't know you were afraid of horror films," Natsume said with an amused expression. Who would've thought that Mikan Sakura, the only girl who can match Natsume, is afraid of horror films? They were just films. Man-made.

"I-I'm… I'm… Natsume no baka!" she yelled then run towards her room. Natsume was left there, dumbfounded. "Eh? What did I do now?" he asked Mikan's bear. She left it when she ran to her room.

Natsume turned off the TV and grabbed the bear. He's going to give it to Mikan. He knocked at Mikan's door but there was no answer. He then decided to open the door. In the bed, he saw Mikan sleeping. He put the bear in the sofa in Mikan's room and made his way towards the sleeping brunette. He kissed her forehead and smiled. "Good night Mikan. I love you," Natsume said and left the room.
