Only You
Chapter 3: First MissionIt was already 8:30 pm and Mikan was sound asleep stretched out on her bed. She did set her alarm at 10 pm but she was afraid she might sleep through it. She couldn't break her promise to Persona or Natsume would have to go through pain again.
Outside her door was Hotaru waiting for her nosey friend to suddenly start screaming or make a huge THUMP on the floor, but nothing came. Silently she waits falling asleep against the door.
10:00 pm came quickly and Mikan arose to her annoying alarm clock blaring. She quickly got up and dressed herself in a nice pair of jogging sweats and a green sweatshirt. Mikan quietly pushed her door open. Then she noticed it wasn't moving the whole motion it was, so in her own nature she pushed with all her might. Hotaru went slamming up to the wall face first.
Mikan peeked her head and had a sweat drop, "Hotaru…?"
"I'm…going…to….KILL YOU!" Hotaru roared flinging out her BAKA gun and aiming at Mikan's head.
"Ahhhh!" Mikan whispered rushing down the stairs and out the door leading to the Sakura trees.
Hotaru didn't bother to follow, but only to go back to her room and sleep.
Mikan slid past bushes and trees hoping no one would find her. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder making her shudder and yip.
"It's only me." Persona's voice calmed.
Mikan phhed and turned to him, "So what's my mission?"
"The only thing you have to do is train with me for a bit." Persona stated pointing to an open area down past a couple of hills, "and at least give it your all."
"Yes sir." Mikan replied following him down to the arena.
They first started off dodging moves and attacks, but soon Persona would be using his own alice to attack making it much harder. Mikan avoided a lot and used her stealing alice to brisk it away. Training ended faster than ever. It was only midnight when Mikan arrived back home. She only got a couple of cuts and bruises, so all she had to do was patch them up so no one would see them tomorrow, especially Natsume.
Once that was token care of Mikan flopped on her bed hugging her pillow. Quickly she fell asleep sprawled on the bed. And that night she dreamed about Natsume. Her sweet Natsume.
Next morning Mikan opened her eyes in bewilderment. Her body wouldn't move. Mikan used all her force trying to move her legs before going crazy, "OH MY GOD!! I CAN'T MOVE! SOMEONE HELP ME!!"
Hotaru opened her door with her natural look ( T.T ), "What are you yelling about this time?"
"Hotaru!… I NEED HELP!" Mikan cried out for help, but only to get a smack in the face with a BAKA cannon.
"Be quiet." Hotaru said sitting on her bed.
"Sorry." Mikan apologized trying to sit up but it wouldn't happen.
"What's wrong?" Hotaru asked.
"My body won't move." Mikan answered squinting a bit.
"Hmmm… Ill be back after school just stay here and rest." Hotaru replied getting up and walking out the door.
"After school!!!!! AHHHH SCHOOL!!!!" Mikan shouted yelling down at her body, "Get up you peace of flesh and bone!"
At school Hotaru arrived through the door holding a funky weird device (I don't even want to imagine what she can do with it.). Anna and Nonoko minded their own business, chatting with Yu and other students.
The bell soon rang and all of Mikan's friends realized she hadn't arrived.
"That's odd." Anna said whispering.
"Usually she's here before the fan club boys." Nonoko answered thinking.
"I wonder if she got sick or something." Yu stated taking his seat.
"She's not sick." Hotaru said out of the blue making everyone jump.
"Well did you see her this morning?" Anna asked.
"Yea. She just didn't want to go." Hotaru answered picking up a book.
"I'll visit after school. How about you Nonoko, Yu?" Anna asked with a smile.
Both nodded and glanced up at Ruka watching them steadily trying to listen.
"Ruka do you want to go check on Mikan after school? I'm really worried." Anna asked walking up to him.
"Sure." Ruka said using a fake smile. He knew what was happening. Just like Natsume, Mikan would be in a lot of pain everyday now.
"I'm leaving. C ya." Natsume said swinging around the table he sat at and walked towards the door.
"Where ya going Natsume-kun?" Mochiage asked blocking his way.
"Get out of my way or you'll regret it." Natsume angrily said lifting a palm in the air to show a small fireball.
Mochiage backed away smoothly and quickly Natsume left. Ruka sighed and watched as the teacher came in and taught class.
Mikan was lying on her bed gripping the seats with force. All morning she was trying to lift her self up, but of course no success. Soon she gave all hope up and relaxed trying to feel her nerves move. Still nothing.
"What is wrong with me?" Mikan asked herself.
Suddenly she heard her door opened and slam shut. Mikan widened her eyes and shouted, "Who's in here!"
"Don't make my ears bleed. God." Natsume answered veering around the corner and into her room.
"Why are you here. Class has started already." Mikan demanded not ready to give up a war between them.
"I skipped." Natsume replied looking up and down her body.
"Then why did you come here!?" Mikan shouted madly blushing.
Natsume walked over to Mikan's bed and crawled over to her face scanning it. Mikan blushed and turned her head to the side.
"You can't move. Am I right?" Natsume asked sitting up.
"So what if I can't move?" Mikan replied back looking at him with her hazel eyes.
Natsume smirked and slumped his shoulders, "Never tell a 15 year old boy that. They could just take advantage of you."
"You wouldn't!" Mikan squeaked.
"No, you're to ugly." Natsume said lying down next to Mikan.
"Then why are you here?" Mikan asked madly and confused.
"I was worried about you." Natsume said.
Mikan gasped at the words he choose and for a second she almost smiled, "I won't forgive you for calling me ugly."
"Are you sure?" Natsume whispered in her ear making her body shiver.
"Natsume?" Mikan asked weirdly looking at him.
"Your body finally moved and you didn't notice." Natsume sighed getting closer, "now look what I have to do."
Quickly their lips were touching. His were warm on hers as hers on him. Mikan blushed wildly and suddenly her arm moved a tiny bit over to his hand. Natsume took his lips back and chuckled, "I made you move again."
"If you say I'm ugly why did you do that!" Mikan shouted out lying back closing her eyes.
"You can't always believe what I say." Natsume replied getting up and off her bed, "I'm going back to school, and please tell me when your next mission is." And soon he disappeared.
Mikan sighed and closed her eyes once more. An image of Natsume stuck in her brain. Suddenly she realized, " NATSUME YOU PERVRET BRING ME BACK MY UNDERWEAR!!!!!!!" while Mikan was busy kissing him he actually took off her underwear with out noticing it.
Outside Natsume gave a laugh and headed for school.
