Ok, so this is my 5th chapter. ENJOY! :)
"Good morning guys!" Mikan shouted to her friends as she was hurriedly running down the stairs. Hotaru was walking not far behind from Mikan.
"Mikan, careful! You'll trip!" Nono shouted back as her friend clumsily ran down the stairs. As if on cue, Mikan tripped and rolled down the stairs.
Luckily, she only fell down 3 steps. Everyone gasped and ran to her.
"Mikan! Are you ok? You hurt?" Yuu asked ready to help her up but Natsume beat him.
He ran to her side and held out a hand for her. Hotaru didn't even care and shrugged it off.
Everyone sweat-dropped at Hotaru's actions.
'I guess she falls really often.' Everyone was thinking the same thing. They turned their attention back to Mikan who was trying to stand up.
"Hahaha! I'm so clumsy! Guys don't worry, I'm fine." Mikan said smiling.
Natsume continued to hold her hand just in case she needed support.
Everyone squished over and examined Mikan back to front and head to toe.
When they saw she was really ok, they started heading for the dinning hall laughing and talking.
At 9, everyone was finished eating and eager to see what there is in Yokohama.
Narumi sensei walked in wearing a blue shirt with a red bow half done on the collar of his shirt. He's wearing purple jeans and black shoes.
"Alright everyone. Today we are going to a garden named 'Sankeien Gardens'. It is ranked #1 in the attractions in Yokohama. Now, please one by one get on the bus and sit on the seat u did last time." Narumi sensei smiled and turned around.
Everyone stood up and followed sensei. One by one, they climbed onto the bus.
They sat on their seats and patiently waited for the others to come on.
When Narumi sensei climbed on, the bus finally started moving. Everyone was chatting about how the Sankeien Gardens will look like.
"Hey, you guys want some?" Kitsu asked tuning to the four sitting at the back holding a pack of pocky.
Mikan smiled and nodded while Hotaru grabbed 2 but her eyes were on her mini laptop. Natsume ignored it while Ruka took 2; one for his bunny and one for him.
Kitsu looked at Anna and Nono and gave a pocky stick to each of them, he also gave Yuu and Sumire one.
He kept saying things about Koko while Koko read his mind and they say the same thing at the same time which made everyone laugh.
Narumi sensei were making jokes along with Koko and Kitsu.
After about 15 minutes they arrived at the garden. It was mesmerizing.
It had a giant lake in the middle with a bridge for you to cross. It had all kinds of trees and plants planted in every possible spot.
There were small, Japanese buildings and a small temple near the lake.
"Holy moly macaroni and cheese." Koko said amazed from the view. Everyone laughed at the statement and stared at the garden as well.
"What was the food expression for?" Sumire asked Koko while staring at the garden. Koko shrugged as an answer but his eyes never left the garden.
Mikan was the first one to break the stares.
"Oh my gosh! Guys lets go in!" Mikan squealed while jumping up and down and clapping her hands. Narumi sensei smiled and walked past the students.
"Alright. Everyone follow me and stay close with the group. This is a very big place, try not to get lost." Narumi sensei smiled and walked on.
Mikan was the first to follow, then Natsume, Ruka and Hotaru.
When the first four followed, the others followed too. They saw many plants; azalea flowers, iris flowers, pine trees, etc.
While walking, Narumi sensei was telling the history of this garden.
"This garden has a total surface 175 thousand square meters. Mr. Tomitaro Hara succeeded in exporting Japanese silk to foreign countries in the Meiji Period which is about 1868-1912. To his pleasure, he made this garden after his success. He invited artists..." Narumi sensei continued to talk but Mikan was too busy looking everywhere that she missed most of the history.
She tried hard to listen but something always caught her attention before the information sank into her brain.
After about 2 hours of walking around and looking in buildings and temples, they found an arbor near the lake.
They bought some drinks and started chatting about this place.
Mikan stood up and went near the lake. She sat on the grass and stared at the view.
Natsume walked up and sat next to her.
"Are you alright?" Natsume asked worried about his girlfriend. Mikan turned around and beamed.
"Natsume look!" She pointed at some geese and carps that were swimming around.
Natsume looked at what she was pointing at and left.
Mikan frowned at the retreating back of her boyfriend and tucked her knees to her chest and rested her chin on her legs and sighed deeply.
After few seconds, Natsume came back with a small pack of seeds. Mikan looked at the small bag full of seeds beaming and hugged Natsume tightly.
She let go and took the bag. Natsume smiled at his childish girlfriend and went to join her.
They each took a hand full of seeds and tossed little by little into the water. The geese and carps were delighted by the food.
After finishing the bag, Narumi sensei told them it was time to go.
Mikan checked Natsume's watch and saw that it was nearly 11. They went onto the bus in an orderly fashion and sat in their spots.
Everyone was so weary that they fell asleep immediately. Hotaru and Natsume switched spots so now Natsume was next to Mikan.
Mikan was sleeping on Natsumes' shoulder while his head was resting on hers. Their hands were clenched together and resting peacefully.
Not far from them, two siblings were watching before they, too, drifted to sleep.
"Everyone wake up!" Everyone heard Narumi sensei and started to sit up straight.
Some totally ignored him and continued sleeping. Natsume was one of them, although that didn't last long.
Mikan was one of those that wake up when she hears her teacher calling them, and since her head was on Natsume's shoulder, and his head resting on hers, Natsume had to move since Mikan was trying to sit up straight.
"Ow!" Natsume rubbed his head from the bump Mikan made when she was trying to sit up straight.
"I'm sorry..." Mikan said rubbing her head as well. Narumi sensei clapped three super loud claps and waked everyone up.
"Anyone hungry?" Narumi sensei grinned and pointed out the window.
They parked outside a big restaurant.
It was red and white and a simple design but it looked pretty fancy.
When they walked in, there were great views of Yokohama and beautiful scarlet curtains with small but detailed designs on them so the curtains were a little transparent. The tables were nicely set.
Narumi sensei told Mikan, Natsume, Hotaru, Ruka, Nono, Anna, Sumire Yuu, Koko and Kitsu to sit on a big table that had enough rooms for all ten of them. (Don't restaurants have big tables for ten people?)
Once everyone sat on their tables, (including Narumi sensei) they all started to talk at once.
"I want sushi!"
"I want rice!"
"I want egg!" Random choices were heard all around the tables until Narumi sensei stood up from his seat and clapped his hands.
"Alright, please be patient. I will go call the waiters and take your orders." With that Narumi sensei stood up and went to find some waiters.
"You know, I feel kinda bad for Narumi." Koko said resting his head on his arms crossed on the table. Natsume grunted and looked out the window.
"I feel pretty satisfied. You don't usually see him this stressed." Natsume got a slap on the arm by his girlfriend.
"Natsume! How can you say that? Narumi sensei is trying so hard to give us a good time!" Mikan scolded while Natsume totally ignored her.
Koko and Kitsu were laughing while Yuu was trying to stop Mikan from scolding.
5 minutes later Narumi came back with 4 waiters. They were running around the tables jolting down the random orders of the students.
After an hour of waiting all the orders were served. (That is one fast restaurant.)
"Wow this is good!" Sumire exclaimed while eating her food.
SLAP!
"Ow!"
"Don't try taking my food, Koko."
"I'm sorry!" Their friends burst out laughing at the angry Sumire and the hurt Koko.
They were laughing and talking while sharing their food. (I wish I had friends that share food with me...)
After everyone finished their food, Narumi sensei told them that they are going back to the hotel.
"Yeeees! I've been waiting to swim!" Kitsu exclaimed while sitting down in his seat.
"When are you guys going? I wanna go too!" Mikan asked with sparkles in her eyes. Koko smiled and nodded at Kitsu.
"Kitsu said 3:00." Obviously Koko read Kitsu's mind. Kitsu playfully slapped Koko's arm and laughed.
"Don't read my mind!" Kitsu told Koko still laughing.
15 minutes later they arrived at their hotel. Hotaru went to her room to work on her computer.
Sumire went talking about fashion or Ruka/Natsume with her other weird friends.
Yuu wanted to take a walk. Nono and Anna wanted to bake and make new potions.
Koko and Kitsu went to their room to play video games. Only Natsume and Mikan were left.
"Where should we go?" Mikan asked. They already explored the hotel and they didn't feel like playing video games.
Talking about fashion is totally out of the question.
"I really want to go find a Sakura tree." Natsume said and walked towards the exit.
Mikan smiled and followed along. They walked to the back of the hotel and found a small Sakura tree.
It wasn't as big as the one in their school but it was in full bloom and looked beautiful.
Natsume walked over and sat down. Mikan followed and sat down next to him.
They watched the fabulously blue sky and the puffy white clouds gracefully chasing each other.
Normally if you don't speak it is considered awkward, but even though the two aren't talking, it is considered romantic.
No words were needed to be able to understand each other. They don't need any 'mind reading alice' to know what each other is thinking.
They are the fated pair.
Soon they fell asleep under the shade of the Sakura tree. Mikan's head rested on Natsume's while his head was leaning on the tree with their hands intertwined.
"Brother, let's go somewhere quiet." Akemi said to her brother while they walked around the hotel.
Her brother just nodded and continued walking.
He stopped at the gap that led to the back of the hotel. He poked his sister and pointed to the other side of the gap.
Akemi nodded and followed her brother through the gap.
"Brother, why don't you talk anymore?" Akemi asked as they were walking through the gap.
"Revenge." Akemi looked confused at her brother's answer but decided not to ask what he meant.
They walked to the back of the hotel to find Mikan and Natsume sleeping together under the Sakura tree. Akemi was shocked while her brother surprisingly smirked.
"Have you heard that they are going swimming at 3?" Akemi nodded.
"Yeah. I heard on the bus."
"You like that guy?" Teru asked pointing at the raven haired lad. Akemi blushed ruby red and shyly nodded.
Teru sighed at her answer. He knew she was in love with his 'rival' and wasn't happy with that.
But on second thought, it's actually good. She can keep that guy away from his Mikan. His smirk grew bigger as he turned to his sister.
"I have a plan. A plan that can make Mikan mine and Natsume yours. But this will take a long time to take any effect." Akemi's eyes widened and eagerly waited for her brother to finish telling her his plan.
After finished telling her his plan, the glanced at their watch. 2:50. ACTION!
Beep beep beep beep beep beep
Natsume grunted at the sound. Who on earth made that sound and disturbed his sleep with Mikan?
Beep beep beep
Natsume found that the sound came from his own watch. Mikan sat up straight and rubbed her eyes.
'Ugh. Curse my stupid watch.' Natsume thought mentally punching his watch.
"Is it 3 already?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
They went to their rooms and changed pretty quickly. They got ready in 3 minutes along with Hotaru whom Mikan forced to come along.
They walked down together and met Koko and Kitsu at the lobby. They grinned when they saw the three and walked towards the swimming pool.
The girls and had shirts and pants over their swimsuits so they had to take off their clothes.
Mikan was wearing a one-piece pink swimsuit with Sakura petals as decorations. Hotaru was wearing a plum-colored bikini which made her look very mature.
Natsume was wearing a plain crimson swim pants. Koko was wearing a grey swim pants while Kitsu was wearing a blue one.
Hotaru walked over to one of the chaise lounges and sat on it. She put her sunglasses on and went silent, not that she ever makes much noise.
"Hotaruuu! Aren't you swimming?" Mikan whined but Hotaru just ignored it and continued to sunbathe.
Natsume jumped into the pool with Kitsu and Koko and splashed water all over Mikan. She sharply whipped her head to Natsume's direction and hissed.
"NATSUME HYUUGA!" She jumped into the waters and chased Natsume while he was gracefully dodging her.
Koko and Kitsu were laughing but soon they were spitting out chlorine water. Natsume got tired from swimming so he got out of the water to rest.
"Natsume, where are you going?" Mikan asked watching Natsume get out the water. He smiled a little at his girlfriend and stepped on the warm floor.
"I'm just a little tired. I'm gonna go rest."
Not far away from them, the siblings got to action.
Teru jumped into the water but was careful not to let anyone see. Akemi stood hidden from them.
Natsume walked closer and closer to Akemi.
'My turn to take action.' Akemi walked up to Natsume once he was 4 steps away.
"Hi Natsume-kun!" Akemi shouted from behind. Natsume stopped and turned around. He grunted and continued walking.
Akemi tried to start a conversation by saying random things and asking weird questions like 'do fish have scales?' or 'I had a 3 legged cat.'
Natsume suddenly stopped and sharply turned to Akemi.
"Your so annoying. These things don't concern me. Get lost freak." Natsume snapped making Akemi close to tears.
Suddenly they heard a loud scream.
It was Mikan's voice.
Teru was underwater trying to find Mikan.
It took him a long time since there were so many people and he nearly ran out of air when he finally found the pink Sakura petals.
He used all his strength and pulled her down.
It pushed all the air out of her lungs and she was struggling to get back to the surface.
When she got her head up she screamed as loud as she could.
"HELP!"
Natsume tried running over to the pool but Akemi pulled him back.
"Natsume-kun, I she's just playing a game! Please don't leave me..."
Mikan was struggling so much she started getting dizzy. She swallowed several gulps of water and her sight was getting blurry.
Her strength was thinning and soon she gave up struggling.
She felt herself going deeper into the pool when a pair of strong arms caught her and pulled her up.
She gasped for air and coughed out the remaining water in her mouth. She tried to open her eyes but they were stinging from the amount of chlorine that got into her eyes.
She opened her eyes a little but her sight was still very blurry.
It took a lot of strength to speak.
"N-Natsume?"
"No. I'm Teru."
