His Lopsided Grin for reviewing so many times.
I waited at the gate, like many other students.
I saw the familiar faces of the three people who ruined my relationship with the person I loved.
Teru gave me an apologetic nod and Akemi came towards me.
I backed up a little, not knowing what she would do.
"Mikan-chan, I'm so sorry." Tears fell from her cheeks.
"Natsume-kun is hurt all because of us." She sniffed.
"Please...please forgive him and take care of him. It's all my fault. Not his." Akemi sobbed as she took my hand in hers.
I have her a shake of my head and pulled my hands away.
"I can't forgive him, Akemi-chan." I gave her an apologetic look and she nodded her head in understanding.
"We will disappear from your life forever. We won't be able to do anything to you anymore." She gave me a remorseful smile and then left.
I watched as the teachers took away their memories, and then carried them to the car where they would be sent away.
I dropped the cloth into a bowl of ice water on the table next to him.
I put the icy cloth on his head.
I did this multiple times until I looked at the clock.
Oh shoot.
It's almost 3. I better go.
I was ready to leave when I heard my name.
Ame ni nureta hoho wa
Namida ni nioi ga shita
Yasashi manazashii no

雨に濡れた頬は涙の匂いがした
優しい眼差しのたびびと
"Mikan...Mikan...Mikan..." Natsume was calling my name. I stood there, frozen.
'This must be a game. He's not unconscious, he must be awake. You think you can make me forgive you that easily? Humph. No way.' I thought as I walked over to Natsume.
His eyes were closed and he was sweating furiously.
He kept calling my name and that's when I realized he was truly unconscious.
He was calling my name even though he knew it was hopeless.
I knew before that he ran around the school hoping to find me even though he knew it was impossible.
He burned down half of the dorm because of me and ended up getting punished mercilessly.
He escaped, trying to find me and ended up getting shot by kidnappers.
All the things he's done for me but I never minded.
I thought he didn't love me anymore.
I thought he would never miss me.
I was wrong.
Boy was I wrong.
He loved me.
He missed me.
He would do anything for me even if it means taking his own life.
"Natsume..." I put my hand on his face and I watched him, still calling my name.

"Mikan...please...please don't leave me..." Natsume was shaking, he was scared.
He was scared that I would leave.
I never thought I would see Natsume so scared.
He grasped the sheets like he was about to fall.
I brushed my fingers through is raven hair.
His eyes lids were slowly lifting.
"Mi...kan...?" Natsume said in a weak, coarse voice.
I panicked and quickly turned away, trying to run away but Natsume's reaction was way faster.
He caught my wrist when I was trying to turn around and bolt.
"Mikan! No...no, please...please don't leave my...side again!" Natsume shouted.
His voice was weak but his words were strong.
Hot tears rolled down my face.
Yume wa tobidatsu no chiisana tsubasa de
Omoi no kienai basho made
Futari de
Tooi umi wo sora wo koete
夢は飛び立つの小さな翼で想いの消えない場所まで
二人で遠い海を空を越えて
"Natsume please! Let go of me. Let me go!" I yelled.
He only tightened his grip.
"Please...I love you...I just want you with...me until...until...I leave..."
"NO!" I turned sharply around and went by his side.
"You can't leave! You can't die! Natsume!" I grasped his hand desperately.
Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep
The heart monitor slowed.
I could only feel faint breaths from him.
I shook with terror.
Fresh tears rolling down my face like it never did before.
His grip loosened, but only slightly.
I know he would never let me go again.
Never.
"NATSUME!" I screeched with all my breath.
I pulled my hand loose away and ran out.
I found a doctor and quickly told him Natsume's condition.
The doctor and I quickly ran to his room.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
The sharp sound of the monitor pierced through me.
No.
It can't be.
I rushed to his side.
His breathing stopped.
His heart stopped pumping.
I felt his hand.
It was still warm.
"Natsume?" I whispered.
He didn't move.
"Natsume!" I called stronger, shaking him a little.
Still no movement.
I broke.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! You can't leave me! I forgive you! I forgive you! Please, just come back to me!" I cried so hard my sides hurt.
I can't stand it.
He's gone, forever.
"I'm sorry, miss. There's nothing I can do. He's gone." The doctor said.
I couldn't hear what he said.
I only heard the words of regret playing in my mind.
If only I'd forgive him, none of this would ever happen.
If only I trusted him and never left.
If only...These things kept on repeating in my mind.
Natsume is gone.
Gone.
He left my side, never coming back.
10 Years Later...
Kurai yoru no naka de

暗い夜の中で私を照らしてる
優しい眼差しの貴方に
"Hey baka! Watch where your going!" A raven haired boy with crimson eyes yelled.
"I'm sor..." I was dumbfounded. I stared at him for a long time.
"Na...Natsume?" I asked. I was close to tears. The guy lifted his eyebrows.
"How do you know me? I believe this is the first time we've met." The guy asked, stunned by how this woman knew him.
I started to cry.
Immature for a 24 year old woman, I know, but I just can't stand it.
I'm seeing a man that looks exactly like Natsume.
I fell into the person's arms and bawled.
"Wait..." I stopped when I heard him speak.
"A-are you Mikan...?"
I pushed away and looked at him.
His eyes were wide with shock, happiness, all those emotions all together.
He slid his hands around my wast and pulled me close to him.
I could feel his steady breath on my face.
I listened to his heart beat.
He closed his eyes and kissed my neck.
Backing away a little, he looked deep into my eyes, and I did the same.
Inching is face closer to mine, our lips touched.
I felt his soft, strong lips take mine in a desperate and loving kiss.
I closed my eyes with drops of tears still falling.
I missed this.
It felt so right.
He finally broke the kiss to say something.
"Mikan, I miss you."
"Natsume...I miss you so much..."
My eyes fluttered open.
I sat up in my bed and looked around.
I sighed and climbed down from my bed.
I put on my best smile and looked at the picture frame of us together on the table next to my bed.
"Good morning, Natsume."
My eyes trailed from the picture to my clock.
Then I screamed.
"I'M LATE!" I screeched and then ran into my bathroom.
Wearing a cute pink hoodie and jeans, I ran outside, locking the door in the process.
"You. Are. 20. Minutes. Late." Hotaru said coldly.
Panting, I quickly apologized.
BAKA!
"Mou..." I said rubbing my head.
She didn't change much.
Laughing, Koko and Kitsu both patted me on the shoulder.
"Comon! Let's goooo!" They said pumping their fists in the air.
"Mikan-chan, your hoodie is so cute!" Akemi exclaimed, smiling brightly at her.
I smiled back.
"It's so fluffy too!" Nono and Anna said, petting my hoodie.
I laughed awkwardly and sweat-dropped.
About 3 years ago, we graduated from the school and I decided to forgive Teru, Akemi and Luna.
We became great friends after that.
"Onii-chan! Let's go already!" Akemi called her brother when everyone started walking.
I turned and saw Teru waving, his hand entwined with Luna's.
Unbelievably, Luna never got plastic surgery.
It was only because of all that makeup she wears that makes her look fake.
Ever since their memories got erased, she didn't put all those makeup anymore.
The most she wore was lipstick, some blush and mascara.
It was even more surprising when we caught Luna and Teru kissing one night at a park.
Hotaru, of course, took millions of pictures and posted them all over the internet.
Today was a little reunion we have once every 2 weeks. We went to the movies, and then shopping.
Akemi and Permy chose so many clothes for me I completely lost count.
Luna, only bought a few bags of clothes which Teru was threatened in carrying.
I laughed wholeheartedly for the first time ever since then.
I waved the bad memories away as I got ready for bed.
I smiled at the picture and then whispered, turning off the lights.
"Goodnight, Natsume."
"I'M LATE FOR WORK!" I cried.
Cleaning and dressing myself in record time, I rushed outside and ran to my classroom.
I wore a decent white dress suit and white flats.
I ran out passing Koko and Kitsu.
"Yo!" They yelled as I passed them.
I have them a rushed wave and then they threw a donut at me.
I clumsily caught it and then finally got to my classroom.
"I'M SORRY I'M LATE!" I screamed as I gasped for air.
My students laughed hysterically and I let out an embarrassed smile of my own.
"It's alright, Mikan-sensei." My students chorused.
I gave them a grin.
"Mikan-sensei, your hot chocolate." Yuu smiled at me.
I smiled back, thanking him for the chocolate.
He became my assistant just in case I couldn't explain well enough and he was also the substitute when I'm not there.
"Alright then, please open your math textbooks." I said, taking a bite from my donut and then putting it down on a napkin.
The class gave out a loud groan.
I laughed as I wrote out the equation on the board.
Anata ni...
Aitai...
あいたい...
"Sometimes, Happy Endings only happen in dreams, dreams that you can never reach. Let this be a lesson to one and to all, never lose faith on people you trust."
Well thats it. The song is 'You Are My Love' from the anime Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. The new story I am working on is Crush. I hope everyone would take a look at that.
Please R&R!
