Upon the supper bell rang, the one year older Tsubasa-sempai dragged fifteen year old Yuu out to the hallways.

With the long echoing of the sound that called for supper, the corridors were poured with plenty of guys of all ages, either in elementary or in high school... Even the teachers Narumi and Jinno were carried out by the stampede as if victims of a flash flood.

"Gangway!!!!!!!!"

Ruka heard the bell too, yet when he was about to go with the flow of students, his little bunny caught his attention.

It hopped off his arms and started leaping away to a certain hall, therefore leading his master to something.

"Bunny, what's wrong?"

ooXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXoo

Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!!!!

"Natsume, what's wrong with you?"

He continued panting, ignoring her. He knew it was his fault in the first place, and that he had no right to be mad at her, yet poor Natsume got confused with his own feelings that he chose to pay no heed to her.

Mikan stepped halfheartedly before him, and she hugged her knees, peeping for his eyes. She forced a smile as she wiped her own tears away.

"Why were you crying? Like you didn't actually believe I was dead, or did you?"

He glared at her with those bloody crimson eyes, yet he quickly glanced away.

Mikan giggled secretively and she went closer, still hugging her knees.

"You don't have to hide it, Natsume... everyone saw it. You were crying!!!"

He snickered and shot her a smirking look.

"So?"

She stood up, and sat beside him, still peeping close at his eyes making him wince.

Shit. Why'd I have to make a scene...? This is just so fucking senseless. He thought as he inched away with rosy cheeks as he hid his face again.

"Um..." she murmured leaning on the wall with him a few centos away, "I guess... it's just too... freaky... I never thought someone like you would actually... well... you know... cry because of a dead idiot."

He felt a little enlightenment with her sudden words that he glanced at his shoulders to see the expression on her face as she said them. To him, he wanted so much to see sadness in her eyes as she said it, for some unidentified reason. Maybe he just wanted to know how she felt for him.

"You're the best among idiots, that's why your death would be more dramatic." He smirked with a sly grin, the water that used to state at the sides of his eyes were gone for now.

A smile slowly raised her cheeks once again, yet she didn't respond to his gag. She felt it would do well if she'd be silent for a while. Then maybe he would bring in more things.

They seemed to be uneasy for a while, until Natsume broke it.

"You were such an idiot. Do you know that?"

Mikan shot him a funny look.

"Am not! And I wasn't! Served you right for locking me in that suffocating case!"

"If we hadn't, then that Jinno could've seen you. If you hadn't known, he arrived just after you fainted inside that suffocating case. You should thank me for rescuing your pathetic butt!"

"Mr. Jinno?"

Natsume glared at her, a smile visible on his face as he waited for her grate. He was commonly seen smiling ever since they reached high school by the way, and we all know who the reason is...

"Well... thank you then. But I still didn't like what you guys did to me!!!"

"Tch. You acted too much. I hated it."

"But I still could've really died, pervert!"

The supper bell had long been finished, and everyone else was already along the long dining hall, chiming for supper, but these two and another boy were still strayed away.

"Bunny!"

Ruka panted, lowering his voice for they seemed to have reached a solemn part of the hotel. Since everyone else had gone for supper, the hall was even more silent, leading to eeriness.

"Please stop... Come here boy..." he called, stealing a wipe along his sweating forehead.

Alas, the little white bunny came to a halt, which pleased Ruka.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... You're getting more hard-headed, aren't ya?"

He massaged his bunny's fluffy ears and he was planning to turn back to were they came from, yet he heard a familiar voice that caught his attention.

"If you ask me that was one senseless death. If it really happened." Natsume scorned with a smile. "Imagine how those stupid newspaper men would put it on headline."

"A teenaged girl, suffocated with the latest 300 rabbit Yaoi Manga stuffed in her mouth inside a traveling case... dead." Mikan said, holding back laughter.

"And a fifteen year-old, raven haired boy-caught red handed." He chuckled with his eyes closed.

Both of them held their stomachs as they finally burst out, gripping their bellies as they chuckled with tears. Ruka remained silent as his heart sank.

"Oh, but you could've seen how all four of you looked like when I turned out NOT breathing!!! You were so hilarious! It's a shame I haven't caught it on tape!"

"You wish!" he jokingly messed her hair up with his left hand.

"Oh yeah?!"

The raven haired boy attempted to run away, but Mikan took hold of his collar and wrestled him to the ground, poking his tickly sides.

"Haha!"

"Stop it, idiot!"

"I won't! Unless you apologize!"

"No way!"

"Then suffer!!!!"

"Stop!"

"Nope!"

This scene made the blonde haired boy's heart sank even lower. His eyes were vanishing beneath his bangs and he felt he didn't want to see any more of it.

Their giggles continued, as Mikan continued to wrestle Natsume, yet when their voices stopped all of a sudden, Ruka stopped along his tracks, too, as he snatched another glimpse once more.

And this last scene finally tore his heart apart.

Mikan was lying flat on the floor, with Natsume arching right on top of her. His upper half was closely pinning her to the ground and lastly... what Ruka didn't expect his friend would do... Natsume's lips were pressed deeply on hers, as both displayed astonishment with their wide eyes.

Ruka felt his stomach flip and his hairs rise. His legs shivered as the muscles along his shoulder line tightened.

As far he's known, Mikan hadn't had a first kiss before. And this turns out to be it, which makes his hopes of being her first kiss was all gone.

And as unexpected it would be, his one best friend stole his hopes from him.

And of course, it was Natsume's first, too.

ooXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXoo

Mikan?!

Natsume's orbs broadened as he felt his insides turn inside out. He felt his hormones racing with the beat of his heart as he tasted her sweet soft lips. For a second, he felt he didn't want to move away. He didn't want to break his first kiss that sudden.

So, without hesitation, he nibbled her lower lip making her wince with wide eyes.

"Natsu..."

She failed to finish her sentence for he had gone his way. He gently moved his lips against hers; making her blush a thousand shades of red as his body continued and pressed her down.

Natsume didn't know what he was doing.

He was confused and yet he was blushing...

All his life, he never even thought he would come to a time, just like this one that he knew it was weird but he kept doing it.

Before, Mikan wasn't sure what she was going to do, yet later on... after being hung for a while as Natsume's tongue continued to explore her mouth, she finally complied.

It was the sweetest first kiss I had ever seen, and of course, it was the most heart-breaking, too.

Too bad for Ruka had to witness it. It was too awful and too painful for he clearly saw that very moment, who was leading for Mikan's heart.

He clenched his fists as tears formed at the sides of his eyes and slowly, they vanished beneath his bangs.

His little white bunny stared up at him, feeling guilty for he knew it was his fault why his master had gone there. If he could have been articulate, he could've asked for apology and asked his head be cut off. Yet...

"Bunny..."

The little bunny had teary eyes as it looked up at him.

"It isn't your fault."

Natsume reached for her face and cupped them, tilting his head a little as Mikan closed her eyes.

"It's... no one's."

At this he backed away, scratched his eyes, and ran all the way back to their room.

Maybe... it's time I've realized I've lost. Or... I never had the chance, right from the beginning...
