"Natsume... I think you should be going now. The others might wonder why you're still not in the cafeteria."

Mikan's voice drifted into his ears as he went back to his senses. Natsume never thought he'd be that hung for quite some time, the long while when his lips parted from hers.

Both breathed heavily, and their backs were on each other.

Anyone could easily tell they were embarrassed of what they'd just done, and of course, the moment he shook his head and touched his lips, the old Natsume was back.

"I can't believe I just kissed an idiot." He smirked, jumping away from her, pretending to be half-hearted about the deed.

The little brunette flinched at his words and she slowly caressed her wet lips. But then, her idiotic attitude got the better of her after her mind digested Natsume's unromantic words.

"Oh yeah! You harassed me, moron! Just when I wasn't in my senses back then!"

"It wasn't harassment. You took the liberty of seducing me right from the time you tickled me in the first place. Cheap freak."

"And NOW you're calling me cheap?!"

"That's because you are, baka." He smirked with a sly grin, right down on top of her puffy face and for a second, they exchanged mushy glances on each other's lips once again, making them wince away from the other.

Natsume quickly dusted his uniform looking away from her and abruptly offering his hand to the girl who remained blushing. Oh, and his cheeks revealed blushes, too.

Mikan looked up to him with those innocent auburn orbs.

"Come on. I don't have all day. I'm hungry, idiot." He muttered, staring up the ceiling.

Mikan closed the door behind her as she touched her lips one more time.

"Natsume..."

She slowly closed her eyes and made herself fall dreamily on a fluffy bed.

-Flashback-

"You were the girl who wore polka-dotted panties back there." Natsume uttered lazily as he crossed his arms behind his head.

Mikan let out a wild cry, catching everyone's attention. Without wasting any time, she jumped far away, pointed him furiously as her legs kept a far distance from the other.

"It's you! The pervert who took my skirt off! The one who shamed me in front of Mr. Narumi and Mr. Misaki!"

Natsume shot her a death glare and he leaned on his desk, as the whole class turned grim.

"Yeah?"

"You maniac! How could you?! How could you do that sleazy intention on me? You took away my dignity and I can never be a perfect wife anymore!"

"Tch. Who would have sleazy intentions with someone as ugly as you?" he said plainly, making the whole class burst into laughter.

-End of Flashback-

"That numb, arrogant pervert... I can't believe he'd be my first kiss." She whispered dreamily as she bit her lip with a flush.

"Ohayou, Sakura."

The voice disrupted her dreamy thoughts of him, making her sit up in an uneasy way that she got her back cracked.

"Owe-Ruka-pyon??!!"

"What took you so long, black cat?" Tsubasa-sempai scoffed as he spun a fork horizontally on his index finger.

"Ohayou, Natsume." Yuu greeted, in contrast with Tsubasa's sneer.

There were two unoccupied seats beside his four-eyed friend, one for him, and the other, for Ruka, hypothetically speaking.

After he grunted, Natsume quickly took the seat nearest him, remembering to ask were his best friend was.

"Ruka? Haven't you seen him?" Tsubasa scoffed as he gobbled a huge mouthful of dessert.

Natsume gave him a death glare.

"Would I ask if I saw'm?"

Confused, Yuu and Tsubasa gave each other conversational looks, pissing the cat off.

"What is it?!" he yelled, pounding the table loudly that the whole long table grew silent as they stared at the three.

"Ruka... just went to fetch something..." Yuu lied, sweating hard.

"Yah... He followed you and Mikan the time you over-reac- Ouch!" Yuu cut him off, rotting his foot with his stomp.

"Um, what he meant was that..."

Natsume's mind raced fast that he failed to hear the rest of Inchou's cover-ups as he stood up quickly and ran out of the dining hall.

"Wait! Natsume!" Yuu yelled after him.

"What's gotten into him?" Tsubasa whined annoyingly with a shriek at the end when Yuu slapped his head.

From the farthest end of the long table, the three teachers Narumi, Noda and Misaki sighed and went back to their meals, as the crowd slowly regained enjoyment.

"Should we bother ask what's wrong?" Mr. Noda asked, sniffing some sushi.

Mr. Narumi choked with his salami while Mr. Misaki's sweat dropped.

"Nah..." the black-haired biology teacher muttered between mouthfuls of otoori.

While some of the boys helped their homeroom teacher with the first aid stuff as he choked (not to mention Mr. Noda and Mr. Misaki just staring at him, ignoring his purple stricken face) and while unexpected events were happening in the Hot4's room and while Natsume ran along the corridors, panicking for a reason he himself didn't know... The girls were actually having a hard time looking for their baka friend, at the Gallup beach resort...

"Hotaru... Are you sure Mikan went here first?" Nonoko whispered to their plain eyed friend's ears who kept chewing some deviled squid. She nodded uninterestingly and continued on her spicy crab.

Anna kept craning her head around the huge dining hall, yet there was no sight of her.

"Are you sure?"

Once again, her lazy head bobbed as the two's sweat dropped.

But Mikan's so missing. Nonoko thought with a forced smile.

I can't believe Mikan's her best friend. Anna purged, stuffing a cookie in her mouth.

"Don't give me those looks. I know Mikan's safe, somewhere." She said, unexpectedly, with nothing but plain emotionless eyes.

"Yah... He followed you and Mikan the time you over-reac- Ouch!"

Could he have seen us?

Natsume thought hard as he panted with an empty stomach. At the same time, the raven-haired boy imagined his friend peeping on their kiss, crying his heart out.

Tch... Damn you, Natsume! He cursed himself, feeling irrespoinsible.

Just then, as he took a curb, another stupid idea flashed in his mind.

-A peep into Natsume's wild imagination-

"No... I love you, Mikan... but you ignored me completely!" Ruka yelled at the horrified brunette.

"Ruka, that's not true... I gave you a chance, but I love Natsume."

"You never gave me the chance!"

"That's a lie!"

At this moment, his friend came closer to Mikan and he gripped her neck.

"Ruka... stop... can't... breathe..."

"This is the price you have to pay!... Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!"

"Ruka..."

The helpless Mikan slowly sank down the floor, dying due to suffocation, as Ruka laughed menacingly together with his bunny rabbit.

-End-

Natsume came back to his senses and slapped his face hard.

What a stupid thought.

And without another minute, he reached the hallway near their room. It was still supper time, therefore the rest of the rooms in that hallway were emptied and silent, except for one which emitted weird nasty voices of a boy and a girl.

His eyes widened as he rested his ear against their door, just in time when Yuu and Tsubasa arrived.

"I brought this with me-"

Tsubasa cut him off, covering Yuu's mouth as Natsume gestured for them to keep quiet, and they all listened to the voices inside.
