Pen pals Chapter 4:

"Secrets"

Always remember that no matter what you do to keep them hidden, secrets will always be revealed…

Flashback

"Natsume?"

End Flashback

"Hey. It sounds like you were desperate to apologize to the person. Who were you going to apologize to anyways?" Natsume asked with a bit of amusement present in his voice.

"ah, e-ehhe, that was meant for my best friend Hotaru. You know she is a very good inventor. She invents her own things. There is even one gun she made that is for me, it's called the Baka Gun. I don't know why she called it idiot gun, but she only uses it on me and it makes me feel special." Mikan said with a smile.

Natsume chuckled, "From your explanation it seems that you don't get attention from her all the time, but she is still her friend because she is the only one who understands you. Am I right?"

"Yeah you got it right! Wow you really understand fast." Mikan commented.

"It's nothing, I'm used to doing that since I was a kid." Natsume said nonchalantly.

Mikan got curious at what he said, "What do you mean you're used to it?"

"It's nothing." Natsume said darkly.

"Oh never mind I asked that question. Anyways where are you right now?" Mikan said quickly to avoid the foretold awkward silence that is sure to come if she insisted with her questions.

"I'm here in America right now. My manager said that I will be going to London next week for the concert of the century." Natsume said in a bored tone.

Mikan nodded understanding, last night before she slept, she received a message from Natsume telling her who he really is and what he do.

She really appreciate him for telling her the truth even though she is just a stranger to him. Now that you think about it why did he TRUST her?

Before she could utter any word to Natsume, he said that he had to go and they should just continue texting.

Hey Natsume, why did you trust me with your identity in the first place? You don't even know me?

She texted Natsume while waiting for the train to arrive. Today she was told by her father to visit her grandfather before going back home.

Her phone beeped…. Meaning Natsume replied to her message. It said,

At first, I thought you were just one of those fans who are crazy enough to hack and track me down. But then, you proved me wrong when you said you didn't know who the Natsume Hyuuga is. It was downright amusing, so I decided to add you to the list of people I maybe consider as a friend.

Wow…. HE considers me one of the people he might consider as a friend. Yeah another point to me!

The train arrived and I got in. after I got a seat beside the doors I got out my phone and started typing my text for Natsume.

WOW thank you so much for considering me one of those people you might consider a friend. Sorry Natsume, but I have to go now. I have something important to do, I'll just text you later.

After rereading my text I send it to him. A few seconds later I heard a beep. I didn't understand it but I guess it translates to yes in Natsume's dictionary.

It said,

Hn.

Sigh, it has been 5 years since I last saw my father. He disappeared without trace. I miss him so much. My mother said he is just settling some unfinished business with his family.

Sigh, I looked outside and watched as the scenery outside changed from big buildings in the city to the beautiful green scenery of the countryside. I drifted off to sleep and stayed in a world where all my dreams came true.

…..

Thankyou for reading our story! I'll update as soon as I can. That is if it is my turn to write. ^_^
