Mikan's POV:

Where the fuck is she dammit! I have been looking for the past 20 minutes. I stop and think, apparently me just looking in random places doesn't really help. Ok so I have looked around the school area, the nearby café's and even the laundry shop opposite this road. I don't even know why I checked that latter part.
Think Mikan, THINK! Use your oh so defined brain for once. It was half past six and the sky was getting darker each second.

Anna…where are you?

"Did you try asking Nonoko?" a manly voice came from my right side.
I turn my head and see Natsume drinking what I assumed was an energy drink. He took a sip while walking closer towards me.

"How can I ask her? You saw what happened back in school." Honestly, he expects Nonoko to tell me when her head is still hot? Psh.
"What other choices do you have berry?" he said in a teacher kind of way.

I thought about my options and I hate to admit it but he was right, I was completely lost at this point. I took a few steps away from Hyuuga and took out my phone I dialed her number.

Ring

Ring

Rin-

"Hello? Mikan? *sniff* did you find Anna? "
"No, but I was praying you would know where she is."
"Ummm, did you check the café's by school? She usually likes to drink coffee when she's pissed."
"I did but no luck. Anywhere else?"
"Try the cliff by the tourist area."
"Got it."

And with that I cut the call. I turn around to admit my defeat to Hyuuga but he was gone. Weirdo.
I decided to run to the tourist area it was a bit far, after 10 minutes of a marathon I finally got there. I walked around abit; I don't really know this area but I did come her before with my dad.

I make a quick scan of the place. It was beautiful up here; I see why Anna is most likely to be here now. The grass is a luscious green, there weren't a lot of trees but they didn't lack either. The view is extravagant in a Mother Nature kind of way.
I walk towards the sunset and I reach a silver fence. It had a big sign of 'Do not enter beyond this point'. I felt like a badass kid breaking this rule.

I walk down the cliff a bit; I notice how the ground was getting steeper, then I found myself by the beach shore. I never knew that you could go directly to the beach using that cliff. Then it wasn't really a cliff now was it? Just an abnormal…hill? I don't know.
I saw a crouching figure by the water, it was Anna for sure. She wasn't really near the water just close enough to not get wet. I walked towards her as quiet as possible. Damn walking in the sand is a pain in the ass.

I was just a foot away from Anna when she spoke up…

"Is she mad at me still?" her voice was shaky.
"I think she's fine now Anna."
"What I did back there... I really didn't mean it, the things I said. I just felt like she didn't need me. I get hurt when I trust people but they don't trust me back." She said while looking at the sunset.
I took the silence as a chance to look at the sunset too. The sky is a shade of orange near the sun but slowly fades into pink , violet then pitch black away from it. I sat down next to Anna. I wonder why she comes here but I was too scared to ask.
"Do you want to know why I came here?"
I didn't reply just waited for her to continue.
"This is the place me and Nonoko first met, it was not something like in the movies. I didn't drown or anything, we just saw each other and became friends. Before we left this beach we made a simple promise to be best friends. A pinky swear." She was smiling at what she just said. Her smile was lovely but hurt.
"Mikan, I don't think I can ever find someone like Nonoko, what am I supposed to do now?" she looked at me with pleading eyes. She looked so abandoned.

"Why are you telling me this? Isn't it Nonoko you should be pouring your heart out too?" I said as I looked at her.
She shrugged off with a yeah right.
"I'm serious, what have you got to lose if you don't tell her? Oh yeah, HER" I wasn't going to give her a hug and tell her everything will be fine because it's not. She has to fix it herself. She's a big girl now.

"You really are something Mikan." She smiled and stood up. My eyes followed her movements and she held out a hand to help me up. I accepted it.
We walked back to the 'cliff' and made our way back up since the main road was closer this way. We walked in a comfortable silence the whole way.

"Where are you heading off to now?" I asked.
"Hmm, probably Nonoko's house, I don't like to sleep if I have a problem that can be solved." She said with a small smile. The cheerful Anna is still there that was good.
"Good Luck then."
"Yeah thanks a lot Mikan, I'm happy we met you." She hugged me.

We said our good byes and went in opposite directions.

"Mikan!" she yelled out just before I was about to cross the road. I twirl around and gave her a questioning look.
"Don't keep Natsume waiting and just date him already! The suspense is killing me" she said as her hands were on her cheeks and she stomped like a little girl.

What the hell? Did everyone notice the change in me and Hyuuga's relationship? I have got to hold be personal life better! Seriously I don't want people thinking we are together or anything! I quickly turn around and cross the road.
Natsume and I, would never work. I mean he is this sexy, amazing guy who can get even Angelina Jolie to date him. And well I'm just Mikan, nothing more. I'm not worth it…

My set bang… my set bang!

"Hello? Who is this?"
"Oi! Mikan. I sent Natsume to your house with a copy of the next scene for the project. I expect you to both memorize it and put some emotions in it by tomorrow."
"But I-"

It was too late she had already cut the call. Hotaru is so heartless! I am so tired already and that psychopath wants me to memorize shit? Kill me already kami-sama.

It was around 9 that I reached home and I was hoping that Hyuuga would have gone home by now; though a part of me wanted him there.

There he was sitting by my door, slouched with his head against the wall. I walked up to him expecting a smug comment but nothing. He was asleep.
He looked so cute and calm. His lips were a bit parted and I could hear him breathe out. I smiled abit at how innocent he looks, how his face shows no fear just serenity.

How can someone have wings of an angel but also the horns of a demon? Yeah, this is how I picture Natsume. A hybrid of an angel and a demon.

I fought back the urge to touch his perfect complexion and instead nudged him a bit to walk him up.

He groaned but slowly opened his eyes. I had to fight another temptation of just squeezing him. Psh. Get a control of yourself Mikan!

"How long have you been here?" I fiddled with my keys trying to get the right one.
"About 20 minutes? 30? I don't know, I dozed off" he is now leaning against the wall while he rubbed him eyes.

I finally opened the door felt him follow me in. I removed my jacket and threw on the chair near the fire place. Yes my place has one of those, my dad built it himself.
I made my way to my room, expecting Hyuuga to follow me.

"Are you going to come in or not?" I said, while staring at him by my door. He hesitated but came in eventually. Awkward much?
I went directly to my room not bothering to see if Hyuuga would follow me. I went to my bathroom and changed into some shorts and a big t-shirt that said 'HI'.

I walk out of my bathroom to see Hyuuga lying down on my bed. You have some nerve mister.
"Where's the script Hotaru was talking about?" I asked while looking at him and admiring his body… it was just so perfect and WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!
I mentally slap myself for thinking that. Shoo kinky thoughts.

"What are you talking about? She didn't give me any script." He said in a lazy voice. Don't tell me he feels sleepy.
"But she just called me and said…"
"She told me to make sure you got home safe. And since I could not find you I just decided to wait for you here" he said while he sat up, totally understanding what happened while I didn't.

Then it hit me like a bullet.

They planned this so we could be alone. Well played Hotaru Imai, well played.

"You see I'm fine right? So you might as well be on your way. I am so tired" I yawned and stretched my body.

Natsume was about to say something but my phone started to ring. I excused myself and went to the living room to pick it up.

"Hello?"
"Hello sweetheart, I don't think I'll be able to go home today. Got a lot of work here. Hope you don't mind."
"No mom, it's fine. Just take care of yourself ok?"
"Of course sweetheart, lock all the doors ok? I love you"
"I love you too"

I put the phone down and went back to my room to see that Hyuuga didn't budge. He was in the same position when I left.

"Are you going or what?" I said in an annoyed voice. I didn't mean to be rude, I just feel really awkward when we are alone. I get so conscious on how I look and the things I say or do. It's like having the queen of England in your presence.

"Why do you hate me so much?" he said in a low voice.

His question shocked me, does he have a fever? I never said that I hate him. Maybe I dislike him because he's a pain in the butt though I don't hate him.

"I don't hate you Hyuuga, I just feel so exhausted and I actually doubt I can even sleep tonight. It's been so tough today." I sighed as the encounters of today run through my mind. I hope Nonoko and Anna are ok by now.

Hyuuga got up from my bed and walked towards me, I noticed how he swayed from side to side abit. He was about a foot away from me. I felt my heart tighten abit. He looked at me like LOOKED at me. I don't even know if there's a difference.

I felt so vulnerable when he looked at me like that, like I could just disintegrate into a million pieces.

He suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me close. I felt him breathe out and it smelled like he had been drinking before he came here. I felt the blood drain from my face; I was scared he'd do something to me. I trusted Hyuuga but I am not sure about a drunken Hyuuga. I knew he would never hurt me, I knew he would never do that but why is there a part of me that feels like he might. There was no closure.

I stood still, expecting the worse but hoping for the worst. I didn't look at him, how could I? His grip on my hand eventually went soft. He caressed my cheek with his thumb then slowly raised my head so he could see me. I hated how I could never resist him. If he touched me I would just let him, no questions asked.

"I'm not drunk Mikan, just abit tipsy…that's all." His voice was rough but soothing to hear.
I didn't say anything, how did he know that's what I thought.
He stared at me for what felt like forever but I knew it was just like 5 seconds.

"Mikan, you're so beautiful…" My heart fluttered and I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. A small chuckle came out too. I never knew that hot guys could be so cute too!
"No Natsume, it's just the alcohol that makes me pretty" I said and I felt my body relax.
"NO! You are absolutely sexy and gorgeous." He argued like a little kid. His lips pouting as he grabbed my other hand and pulled me closer.
"Ok ok! I am gorgeous, I get it" I said, thinking it's best to play along.
"And sexy" he smirked and winked at me.

I felt myself blush real hard; I wanted to scream like a crazy fangirl. He let go of my hands and held my face. He came in closer and closer, and I felt my body move on its own and I closed the tiny gap between our lips.
I felt his lips move against mine, they were cold and wet. He bite my lower lip and felt his tongue slip in. I was on my toes because he was so tall. Our tongues collided and danced together. Funny way to put it right? But that's how it felt. His hands explored my back and slipped in underneath. I could not fight a small moan to escape from my mouth. This was all so new to me, I never knew that kissing someone could be so passionate, so rewarding, so addicting. Is this how it feels to be in the arms of someone special? Is this how it feels to be needed by someone?

Is this how at the end of every fairytale when the princess kisses her prince feels? I wouldn't now since Natsume is no prince but… who needs a prince when I have Natsume?
