Sorry for the super late update! Gomen and I hope you like this new chapter! Happy late New Year and really late Christmas!
"Natsume~" Mikan called sweetly as they walked around the Chinatown.
Today was their last day in Yokohama and they were going back to Tokyo the next.
Narumi sensei decided to take them to the Yokohama Chinatown for shopping and for eating the snacks there.
"Hn?" Natsume asked with a bored tone. Mikan was zooming everywhere since she was from the countryside.
"Natsume~let's go into that shop~" She begged with her best puppy eyes.
Natsume just couldn't say no so he sighed in agreement. Mikan jumped in joy and hooked her arm in his.
"Mikan, why don't we go there?" Teru pointed as he took her free hand.
Natsume glared furiously at Teru and pulled Mikan closer to him.
Teru kept his smile but it never reached his eyes.
His eyes were angry and jealous and he kept his firm grip on Mikan's arm and made her yelp softly.
The tension between the two became so thick Mikan started to suffocate.
Instead of standing there, she placed a smile on her face and walked forward.
"We're getting nowhere just standing there! I wanna go there!" She pointed happily and dragged the two boys along.
"Look, this is so cute~" Mikan said as she looked through small keychains. A certain keychain caught her eyes. It was a lock with a heart key.
The boys immediately took this chance.
"I'll but it for you." They both firmly said. Mikan stared at them for a while and decided she didn't want it anymore.
"Are you sure Mikan?" They asked and glared at each other.
Mikan nodded and smiled. She linked arms with them again and led them to find Hotaru.
"Mikan, Natsume, Teru, would you please tell the other students that we're going to meet in the middle of the Chinatown in 10 minutes?" Narumi sensei asked with a big grin splattered on his face.
Mikan eagerly nodded while Teru and Natsume just shrugged.
Again, they were both pulled away by Mikan who went to find the rest of their class.
"Guys! Narumi sensei said that we have to meet in the middle of Chinatown in 10 minutes." Mikan beamed as she finally found the rest of her class in a Japanese restaurant.
Natsume checked his watch and sighed.
"There's only 5 more minutes." Natsume said and watched as the others shooed them off.
He opened his palm and stretched out his fingers. A small fire danced around on his palm.
The others immediately stood up and followed Mikan to the middle of Chinatown.
"Natsume, you shouldn't threaten them like that." Natsume looked irritated but didn't answer.
Mikan saw a vein pop on his head and she quickly shut up.
"Yo, Narumi. What do you want?" Kitsu and Koko asked in a 'polite' way, as they call it.
"Well, I thought we would go to the Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise." Narumi sensei said with his usual big smile.
"Sea paradise? Sounds cool to me." Sumire said excitedly as everyone else bustled on the bus.
About 30 minutes later they arrived at the Sea Paradise.
The second they stepped out out of the bus, they got a feeling they won't ever be able to finish riding it.
"It's so big..." Everyone chorused as they stared into the gates.
"What are you guys waiting for? Let's go in~" Narumi skipped happily into the gates as the students followed excitedly.
"I wanna go there!" Mikan said as she dragged Natsume to the Aqua Museum.
Natsume couldn't help but smile a little at his girlfriend's childish acts. She just hasn't changed at all in those 2 years.
"Natsume, come on!" Mikan said impatiently as she waited for Natsume to catch up with her.
He just smiled lovingly at her but didn't speed up.
They tried looking at all the animals which has over 500 different varieties of fish with more than 100,000 sea creatures in all but that was sort of impossible so Mikan just had to be contented with half of that.
They walked into an undersea viewing tunnel while Mikan was pointing at fishes she thought was 'cool' but it was 'ugly' for Natsume and earned a good whack on the head by his beloved girlfriend.
"The dolphin performance will be starting shortly." The speakers announced and anyone could easily spot a brunette dragging a raven haired boy to the dolphin shows.
"I just have to watch this so no complaints." Mikan strictly told Natsume as she dragged him again around the aquarium.
"WOW!" Mikan exclaimed as the found a seat just when the show was starting. Mikan watched intently at the beautiful creatures dancing on the waters.
"You guys came here as well?" A familiar voice said from behind them.
"Koko." Natsume said as he turned to his mind-reading friend.
He pointed to the brunette who's still watching so intently she barely noticed her other friends.
Koko and Kitsu nodded understandingly and watched the show with them.
The show lasted for about half an hour and right after the show they went to the amusement park part of the Sea Paradise.
"Oh. My. God. I have got to ride that ride!" Sumire squealed as she ran to Blue Fall, an exhilarating vertical fall amusement at 107 meters high.
Koko eagerly nodded and followed Sumire to the ride.
"Aren't you going?" Natsume asked looking at his girlfriend that's scared stiff on her spot.
"U-uh...no thanks." She quickly said and almost successfully ran away but her 'beloved' boyfriend dragged her by the wrist all the way to the ride.
"NOO~! I'M GONNA DIE! SOMEONE SAVE ME!" Mikan screamed frantically as she struggled on her seat.
"Someone please shut her up." Sumire grumbled and shot a death glare at Koko.
"Why are you glaring at me!? I can't shut her up...but Natsume can." Koko added playfully and glanced at Natsume. Natsume sighed deeply and whispered something into her ear.
After Natsume finished whispering something Mikan immediately stopped struggling and shut up.
After a brief moment, Koko burst out laughing and hugged his tummy.
"What?" Sumire asked confused by the actions of the two.
"H-he s-said t-that if she doesn't stop then he'll tell others how much she eats!" Koko said between laughs and Mikan immediately turned bright red.
She tried to stomp on his foot but he pulled it away since he knew what she's thinking.
Koko continued to laugh until they heard the ding of the bell indicating the ride is about to start.
Mikan's face became pale.
They went up slowly and slowly getting higher and higher.
"Don't look down. Don't look down. Don't look down. Don't look down." Mikan kept reminding herself but when they reached the top, it went down fast and it wouldn't go all the way down.
It would stop halfway and go back up and come back down.
When the ride ended, (finally I should add) Mikan was close in fainting.
"Natsume, I don't want to ride things like that ever again!" Mikan said, more like begged and was more than relieved when Natsume nodded.
Sumire and Koko, on the other hand, was satisfyingly laughing.
"That was so fun!" Koko and Sumire chorused and made Mikan even more sick.
Suddenly her face lit up.
At the end of the road there was a stand of small boxes of pink cotton candy, except they weren't really cotton candy.
"HOWALON!" Mikan yelled and quickly turned around to Natsume.
"I want Howalon~" Mikan pouted as she hooked her arm on Natsume's and made her cutest puppy eyes she could master.
'Girls are truly evil...' Koko and Natsume both thought but Natsume just couldn't say no to her since she'll bug him for the rest of the day.
He sighed and nodded and was dragged again by Mikan.
"Hey Natsume, exactly how many times have you been dragged by Mikan?" Koko asked after 'accidentally' reading his mind.
Natsume sighed again and rolled his eyes.
"Maybe...I don't know, 50 times?" Natsume exaggerated and continued walking with Mikan until they reached the little stand.
She paid 9 rabbits and took the box.
"Um...I thought Howalons are only sold in Central Town." Mikan wondered out loud and got surprised by the one selling it.
"Of course! It's especially made for you, Mikan." Narumi sensei said as he took off his hat revealing his blonde hair.
"Mikan-chan!" Nono, Anna and Yuu called as they popped out from behind him.
"Narumi sensei!? Thank you guys so much!" Mikan squealed as she jumped up and gave them a group hug.
Narumi hugged her up and spun her around holding her waist.
Mikan was laughing along with Narumi sensei but Natsume was ticked off.
"Narumi, freaking put her down already." Natsume growled between his teeth and emitted a dark aura.
Narumi stopped spinning her and put her down but he was still hugging her.
"Looks like someone is angry~" Narumi sang as he laughed and Mikan sang along as well.
Natsume's aura naturally got darker and he carried Yoichi who was with them the whole time.
"Yoichi, alice." Natsume whispered to him and Yoichi understood immediately. (A/N: Don't underestimate a child's brain.)
A strand of his front strand hair stood straight on it's end and an aura started to form around him.
Evil spirits formed around him and flew straight to Mikan.
Mikan completely freaked out and went to the first person that popped up in her mind: Natsume.
She hugged him tight and refused to open her eyes. After all, her biggest fear is ghosts.
Natsume gave a faint smirk but only for a second.
"Wahhh~ Yoichi is so mean!" Mikan cried as she buried her face in Natsume's chest.
"Guess I should have told you earlier that wasn't a good idea." Koko smirked directly at Natsume.
Natsume glared back and held out his palm with a small ball of fire. Koko read his mind and gulped hard.
'Say another freaking word and I'll turn you to ashes.'
'Why does he have to be that violent?' Koko thought but nodded quickly but too bad. It was too late.
"Natsume...you made Yoichi do that?" Mikan asked in a sweet but deadly tone while cracking her knuckles.
'This is gonna be good.' The others thought as somehow everyone magically appeared to watch the 'scene of bloodshed.'
Hotaru got her beloved camera ready.
Everyone would want to see The Natsume Hyuuga get beaten up by Mikan, famous of her innocence.
Yoichi tugged at Mikan's shirt and pointed at Natsume and looked at her with his sweet eyes.
"Natsume..." Mikan scowled and stepped on Natsume's foot; hard.
Really, really hard. Natsume winced but refused to make a sound since he's on that damn tape of Hotaru's.
Mikan was completely useless in hurting Natsume so she focused on scolding him instead.
Hotaru gave up on the two and bought canned crab instead, of course forcing the poor Ruka to pay.
"Natsume you shouldn't teach Yoichi to do these things. He's still very young and you teaching him to do bad stuff!" Mikan yapped on and on and as each second passed Natsume got grumpier.
He would never hurt her but he felt so much like shutting her mouth.
"Ok, ok! Would you shut up already, Polka?" Natsume snapped in his cold tone, that tone he didn't use on her for a long time.
Mikan stopped talking and just stared at his eyes. They were irritated and a little angry.
"Mikan, you alright?" Teru said as he spotted Mikan walking behind Natsume with her head down.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Mikan tried smiling but any normal person can read her emotions.
"I know your not. Wanna come with me?" Teru held out his hand expecting Mikan to take it right away but she hesitated.
Natsume was close in punching this guy right in the face.
'God loves me. A perfect punching bag...' Natsume thought and emitted a deadly aura.
When he was just about to kick Teru, Akemi suddenly appeared behind him and hooked her arms with his.
"Natsume, please can you go to that shop with me? The owner is really mean but I want a necklace." Akemi begged and pulled Natsume to the shop.
Mikan watched but said nothing, neither did she follow them.
She took Teru's hand and followed him to an attraction.
"This is Japan's first surf coaster that swings out over the water." Teru explained and dragged her to line up.
About 10 minutes of lining up it was their turn.
They climbed in on the front two seats and buckled up. Mikan was stiff and shaking a little since it's her first time riding this.
She was a countryside girl before she came here, after all.
They heard the announcement saying to put on seat belts at all times during the ride and to hold on to the railing.
Mikan held onto the railing like she was falling from the sky.
The ride started out slow, as they went up to the top it was dramatically slow and Mikan closed her eyes tight, knowing whats coming next.
As they reached the top, the coaster fell down on top speed. If you ever want to hear a really loud scream, go on a roller coaster with Mikan. (A/N: I don't recommend it.)
Mikan shrieked at her highest volume the whole time.
She was holding Teru so tight that her nails dug into his skin. He yelped a little but didn't move his hand.
"That was so scary..." Mikan mumbled as they got off the ride.
"It was a little high, but it wasn't that scary." Teru said as they waddled to the others.
"Wow. What got you guys all wet?" Nono asked as she examined them. They were soaked from head to toe and Mikan was shivering a little.
"We went on that ride." Teru pointed to the ride they just rode. Natsume grunted unhappily and walked away with a deadly aura around him.
"Well, someone's jealous." Ruka chuckled and followed his best friend.
"Jealous? Why would he be jealous?" Mikan asked tilting her head in confusion.
She looked so cute in that position and made Teru want to kiss her right on the spot.
Everyone else giggled at her obliviousness.
"Let's ride 2 more rides. Narumi just called me and said we have about an hour left." Yuu said straightening his glasses.
Nono and Anna nodded excitedly and Mikan joined them.
They went onto Merry-Go-Round for some pictures and to calm them down a little from being to hyper.
The Merry-Go-Round was beautifully lit with thousands of lights.
After the Merry-Go-Round they went on the water chute ride where there were staffs acrobatics to watch.
"We still have about 15 more minutes." Yuu told the others after finishing the 2 rides.
"LET'S GO SHOPPING!" Nono and Anna chorused excitedly as they ran to the souvenir shops. The girls squealed in delight while the boys sighed.
"Make sure you carry our bags." Hotaru told the boys coldly and followed the other girls.
"Who wants to get hit by her baka gun?" Koko asked and got silence as a response.
"Then lets go." Koko sighed and ran to catch up with the other boys following.
15 minutes later the girls came out with satisfied grins while the boys were carrying mountains of clothes and accessories.
"Girls can really buy anything." The boys chorused and sighed earning a whack each from Hotaru's baka cannon.
When they reached the hotel it was dinner time.
They went to their tables and started eating and chatting just like the nights before. Natsume secretly slipped a small box to Mikan.
Mikan looked at him confusingly but obeyed when he told her to open it. It was the same keychain she saw in the shop.
"Thank you so much!" Mikan hugged him tight but pulled away after a minute.
"Hey, lets play truth or dare!" Sumire suggested after they finished dinner with her usual adventurous attitude.
"That's a great idea!" Koko and Kitsu chorused and followed Sumire.
The others nodded in agreement. They walked and stopped right in front of a mini forest behind the hotel.
"Ok. Who wants to start?" Ruka raised his hand which surprised the others.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare." Sumire nodded and motioned him to move away so they're out of earshot. Ruka obeyed and moved away.
"Hey, lets dare him to..." The others threw in suggestions until they all agreed on something.
Sumire called Ruka to come back and they all grinned at him.
"You have to make 5 cute poses and Hotaru will take pictures. And you have to wear whatever we tell you to without complaints." Sumire said with evilness in her eyes.
Hotaru smiled sweetly at him with her camera out indicating they can start any minute.
"U-um...can I do it when we get back to the academy?" Ruka asked nervously glancing at Hotaru every now and then.
"Sure." Ruka sighed with a little relief.
"Ok, we'll go right and everyone has to go at least once to night." Sumire said strictly eyeing everyone. The others nodded.
"Why don't we mix it with a bravery test? Just truth or dare is too boring." Anna suggested and the others nodded. The game went on until it reached Mikan.
"Um...I'll choose dare." Mikan said and move away. After 2 minutes Sumire called her to come back.
"We dare you to walk once around the forest and come back with a Sakura petal." Sumire announced and Mikan hesitantly agreed.
"There won't be any ghosts in there...right?" Mikan said with a small.
"Of course not, silly. Just go in. It's perfectly safe." Sumire said and gave her a small lamp.
They dragged her in front of a small opening the trees gave and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Go on Mikan. It's not scary." Nono told her and gave her a small push.
Mikan took a deep breath and walked into the trees welcomed by an eerie darkness.
Well...I wonder what will happen to her? Probably nothing at all and she comes back safely but without some danger there's nothing good to read about. :P Thank you sakura haruka for giving me those ideas.
