"Natsume! Please stop! You're hurting me!" Mikan yelled as her wrist was in sore of Nasume's harsh dragging.

It was about ten minutes to eleven when the two had reached the middle of the woods, and definitely... Tsubasa and Ruka were craning their heads for the two. Yet Natsume ignored the fact. He wanted so much to be alone with her that he'd do anything even to skip another breakfast time for it.

And so he did. Good thing Mikan had already finished her fill when the raven haired lad awoke, and snatched her to this impeccable nowhere.

"Are we there yet?" Mikan whined, keeping up with him yet he paced faster.

"..."

"Are we there yet?" she chirped childishly.

"I said no."

"But you never said-"

Natsume's index finger blocked her lips as he bent slowly down her.

"Shut up."

This silenced her with a puppy pout until they at last reached his destination.

"Are we there yet?"

This time, the fire wielder didn't grunt at her...nor death-glare her... nor tighten his grip forcibly...

He finally stopped.

"Nani?" she asked when he stood still without even looking back at her.

"Why did you stop?"

A bold cross popped at his temple.

"You asked if we were there yet a couple of times and now we've stopped you ask me WHY?! You... you...! Err!!!" he scoffed, messing up his hair.

"Maybe what I'm trying to ask is... why did you ring me here this early?"

When Natsume wasn't ale to reply... Mikan slowly noticed their stunning surroundings...

Both were standing on top of a small hill, topped with a tiny cherry blossom tree, and that quite small hill overlooked part of the Fujitama's clean resort. It was simple. Too simple, that it caught her dense desires.

"I... thought you'd like to be here for a moment."

Mikan's eyes widened and a smile appeared along her lips.

"Arigatou, Natsume-kun."

She paced towards the tree and fingered its trunk gently, slowly looking back at him.

"I don't know what happened to you, Natsume... but... Thanks a lot, anyway."

His eyes went shady for a moment, as he gripped the cloth inside his pockets.

"It's a nice place... The others would definitely like it if we-"

"I'm not planning to share it with any of them." He cut her off.

"You... GREEDY person!" she rubbed at him, childishly pointing the gloomy boy.

Feeling a sting in him, Natsume quickl shot her a death glare.

"You don't get it do you?!"

His tone caught her tongue for a second.

"What get it?"

Mikan got surprised when she saw him beside the tree with her and his eyes faded behind his bangs once again.

"You're so fucking dense, do you even know that?!"

"Natsume... I don't understand..."

"Shut up. You don't always get it! Don't you notice anything different about me ever since we've been in this stupid island?"

Mikan puckered a brow.

"Did that kiss we had even brought anything to you?!"

This sent a rush of flashbacks to her that her face went all red.

"What the two of us did was an accident, Natsume!!!"

The sting in his heart sore badly as he clenched his fists even harder... until finally... he gripped her face and pinned a kiss on her lips, her spine flat along the small tree's trunk.

Mikan fought hard with disagreement, yet she was too helpless until after a minute when he gasped for breath.

"That wasn't an accident... So what do you feel now?" he asked between pants as Mikan held her cheek with wide eyes.

She felt her legs gone weak as she slumped down the ground... thrusting her weight on the tree's bent trunk.

Natsume remained standing, yet he, too, felt weak inside.

"Do I have to say the right words... in a right place... and do another proof that what happened between us wasn't at all an accident... just to let you know what stupid thing I feel for an idiot like you?"

Mikan went redder, as her eyes vanished, too.

"My heart aches for you... for a reason even I don't damn know. My heart thumps whenever you're near, and a tear you shed... I always fear..."

The little brunette's heart thumped faster as she listened to his awkward words.

"Stop it..." a tear rolled down her cheeks.

"Whenever I see you in others' arms... My heart feels the jealousy I couldn't stand..."

Mikan felt she wanted to hug him tigt with these words yet she held back. Instead, she closed her eyes...

"Every time I sleep..." he paused with a grunt... "Every time I sleep..."

She frowned with closed eyes, and when she looked up to him, she fell on her head with his state.

The nonchalant lover boy was actually holding a notebook!... and he was sweating hard for he couldn't read the last part.

A bold crossed popped along her temple.

"Natsume!!! You..."

She was about to punch him, yet when he gripped her fist with a dim eyes, she realized he was serious.

"You're..." she stammered, eye to eye with him. "You're serious... Natsume-kun?"

Another tear rolled down her other cheek, and this time... he caught it with his finger.

I couldn't exactly remember every detail about this... for everything went too fast that time.

Everything flowed so swift, no one quite understood it, but themselves.

But for a fact, I know... when Natsume trapped her in his arms as she hugged him back... and when she looked at him in the eye... those two had finally got the better of themselves.

And after that quite confusing conversation beside the cherry blossom tree, on top of that small hill, in that resort, on that small island... Mikan Sakura had at last, after three long years of denseness, had finally become Natsume Hyuuga's girl.

I apologize for the short chapter... I feel so disappointed about myself! Gomeno... Gomeno...

For now, I'm so sleepy!!!
