Hello everybody. I have an announcement to make.

After this chapter, I won't update any new chapter anymore. It's not like I will drop it. It's just it is hard to write 3 stories at a time. So I will try to finish the two other stories first.

But if you ask me what the story I want to write the most, I will answer 'Pieces of memories' because this story has a unique and detail plot.

I'm sorry for this inconvenient and I hope you will understand for me. Below is the extra chapter I make for farewell.

Also, thank you very much for your support until today. It has been a great pleasure to have someone like my story this much.

I hope we will meet again...

Small pieces

This is the story after Natsume told Mikan about the date. In other word, it is about Mikan's detention.

Creak

The door leaded to the detention room was opened and stepped in was a brunette girl. There was some blushes on her face.

"Ms Sakura, it's good that you are here in time." Mr. Jinno said sarcastic. "So, what do you think when you heard that you will have a detention?"

"Like a nightmare." The words slipped out from Mikan's mouth without her awareness. She immediately regretted it.

"Oh, I see. Like a nightmare, huh?" A dark aura was surrounding Jinno. "I'll show you what a nightmare is." Mikan gulped as she shivered in fear…

A moment later….

"Here" Jinno handed Mikan a paper. "Do all the work in this and then you can go home."

"WHAT? But it's like 100 jobs" Mikan complained

"No, it's not. Now stay quiet and do all the work or I'll double it."

"Yes, Jinno-sensei"

After that, Jinno walked out of the room, leaving a desperate Mikan with head on the table. In front of her was the paper Jinno gave her.

"I can't believe it. This is the first time I have ever received a detention." Mikan cried in hopeless. "Haiz. Okay. It's time to do the work" Mikan got back to her hyper self again as she looked at the paper.

Mikan's POV

1. Write 100 lines 'I won't talk in class anymore and I will listen to the teacher well.'

What? I didn't even talk in class. Because Hyuuga looked at me like that so I have to ask him. That doesn't count as talking. But that Jin-Jin (Anna told me about this name) said that it was talking. Great. And I always listen to the teacher. Well, I am the top student in America school and I have studied all of this things in the library already. I have to admit, the library has so many things. Even algebra and college exam.

Now think again, it was Hyuuga's fault that made me end up in detention. But why do I feel I have met him before? Ugh. Headache. Don't want to remember anymore. And even the date. I mean who want to have the date with the person you just met. Damn that Hyuuga. I will kill him the next time I see him.

However, by the time I looked at my paper, my eyes widen because the paper was full of 'Natsume Hyuuga'.

"Did I think about him that much that I wrote down unconsciously?" I thought. Suddenly, I heard a voice near me.

"Wow, Mikan, I didn't think that you think about me this much" I turned around only to meet a pair of mesmerizing crimson eyes.

"What are you doing here, Hyuuga?"

"I was bored so I went to sleep. When I realized, the school was already over. After that, I saw you here and you know what happened." Natsume took my paper "And look at this, you think about me so much that the paper is now full of my name."

"Ignore it, Hyuuga. This is a detention room. You can't come in here." I glared at him. I have to admit, he does look handsome with his messy raven hair and his crimson eyes. Such a rare eyes color and at the same time, so familiar.

"You don't know how much time I have been in here." Natsume challenged.

"Oh yeah, How many?"

"More than you can think of."

"What?"

"Okay. That's for today. I have to go home now. See you on Sunday, Mikan" Natsume said as he blew into my ear.

"Eek." I covered my ears as I felt warm on my cheeks. Natsume just smirked at this and walked out of the room.

That Hyuuga. He is so arrogant, egoistic but why do I feel attract to him?

2. Clean the school's ground. That includes trashes and leaves and branches.

Damn that Jin-Jin. Can he think about something else? Clean the school's ground? Can you believe it? ….Someone, help me….

I went to the janitor's room and borrowed a broom. I walked to the front door and looked at the school's ground. You have got to be kidding me. You don't know how big this school's yard is. And why are there so much leaves and branches scattering on the ground? It wasn't stormy or windy yesterday.

Yep. Definitely them. The fan girls. 100% sure. Haiz….

After a moment.

Luckily that grandpa always makes me clean up the garden of the shrine. If not, maybe this will take forever….However, this is such a huge amount of trashes and leaves. Is there anybody in this school have responsibility or is there a place clean?

I looked at the mountain of leaves near the tree…

Suddenly, I remembered something. The place I found out earlier. The 'NxM' tree. Luckily, I finished the work faster than I thought so I went to find the secret place hurriedly.

"I remembered it was somewhere near here." I thought as I touched the vines and saw that there was really a passage behind those vines. "Bingo" I smirked. I lifted the vines up and walked through it.

Again, I was astonished by the beauty of that place. The sky was in the color of red as the sun slowly set down at the horizon. With that, the trees itself were having both color red and green. The lake was still like the first time I saw it. Glittering under the sunlight with a little of red. Then my eyes were locked at the beautiful sakura tree. It is really outstanding. I have to admit it. In the sea of blue and green, the color of pink stands out the most. But I wonder why there is no one find out about this? I touched the word 'NxM' on the tree.

"NxM….So nostalgic but what is it mean?" I thought as I felt my head hurt so much. "Now think again, if that Hyuuga didn't say that to me, I would be at home right now." I said out loud, didn't mind the person who was sitting on the tree.

"I'm glad that you think of me that ways." That person smirked. I looked up and saw Hyuuga sitting as he leaned on the tree. "Hyuuga. I thought you went home already…"

"It wasn't the time"

"So how come you discovered this place?"

"An idiot found this and showed it to me. After that, this place became my secret hideout."

"An idiot? Who is that?" A question mark appeared on my head

"A girl who is the light of my life" Natsume answered seriously.

"Ohhh" Mikan nodded "That's mean the 'NxM' stands for you and her?"

"You can say it like that."

"So what happened to her?" I asked curiously.

"She left and she didn't remember who I am anymore..."

"How sad."

After that was a dead silence. No one dared to speak a word. I looked down to the ground thinking about what Natsume had said. I didn't know at that time, Natsume was looking at me with sadness and gently….

"Say, have you done the things Jinno told you to do?" Natsume asked out of no where. I immediately freaked out. "Oh my gosh. Thanks for reminding me. Good bye." With that, I ran away from the place.

That time, I understood that deep inside, Hyuuga is very gentle and there is another girl he cares for…..Even though I don't want to say this but I want to hear his story one day….

3. Clean the hallway of all division..

"Great. After the school's ground, it is the hall way. Yippee." I said humorlessly. "And it must be all the division. Ugh. Life hates me so much"

First, I cleaned the high school division then to the middle school. After a moment, I finished those two division now I only had elementary division left. And it was 6pm already.

I sighed and wondered what grandpa was doing right now. I walked to the elementary division. Somehow, when I looked at it, a flood of memories came to me. However, I didn't want to remember so I ignored it.

Class 2-B

I have to admit it. It is so familiar. I know I have studied here before but I don't have any memories. I touched the table. Memories flew in my head.

Letter…

.

.

.

.

Desk…

.

.

.

.

Confess.

I held my head. "What's all that? How can those memories…." A headache came to me.

.

.

.

.

Torn apart..

.

.

.

.

Disgusting…Troublesome…

"Stop…Stop it….I don't want to remember…" Tears slowly fell down from the corner of my eyes

.

.

.

.

The boy with red bloody eyes…

"Who are you?" I shouted out loud. "How can I don't remember about you?" I can't take it anymore "What did I do?" That was the last sentence I said before completely blacked out. I fell down to the ground. Tears were still visible on my face…

Natsume's POV

I didn't know she suffered this much because of me. Just because of me who made her become like this. I looked at her lifeless body on the floor. There were tears from her eyes. I slowly wiped all the tears away and carried her bridal style.

"Why does she not want to remember me anymore?" I thought in sorrow. "Does she hate me that much?" (A/N: Hotaru hasn't told Natsume about that)

I looked at her one more time then brought her to my car. I will make sure that she is safe and even though it hurt so much when she doesn't remember me but I still take this chance for her to fall in love with me again. And this time, I swear I will treasure her and won't hurt her anymore. Mark my word...
