"Open up! I'm counting to three and if you won't I'll bust in! I will, Natsume! I'll definitely call a bore and wreck this door!!!!" Ruka yelled for the tenth time with heavy sweat dripping down his temples.

He had been panting with mixed thoughts ever since the two entered the room. Worry had miraculously evaporated to nowhere and the awkward atmosphere present a little while ago had long been gone. The guilt of being caught hugging Mikan was totally oxidized as Ruka's fighting spirits went back. It went high up that it even overlapped the usual level for a reason he himself didn't know why. I guess my dormant days are over, and my heart started beating once again. He would think for a moment and then pound on the door once again.

Meanwhile, as Ruka tried his best to count as slow as possible, the atmosphere inside the ten square meter wide bathroom went misty. The faucet seemed to be the only source of sound ever since after the raven haired boy slammed the door behind him, and its dripping started to get on their nerves... added up to Ruka's constant pounding.

"Open up!!!!!" Bag bag bag bag!!!

What could he be thinking now? What? Mikan... you're such an idiot. Why don't you keep your head straight for a sec? You've done enough mistakes for this week... And I've done so many... on him. What could he think of me now?Mikan thought as her eyes rolled down the wet floorNatsume...

"Could you do me a favor?"

She flinched at his sudden words that she slumped down the closed toilet bowl.

Funny... A favor? At a time like th-

"You've done enough mistakes for this week. I think it's rightful that I ask even a hundred from you. So I don't need to ask at all should I?" he said straight as he slowly went near her.

Whoa... Did he just read my mind?... Mikan thought with a dropped chin.

"You just going to sit there and gape at me or what?"

"Oh... Ugh... I think it's fair enough. A-ask anything you want..." she replied, slowly standing up, but to her surprise a strong hand grabbed the zipper of her jacket and got it undone in one fast swing.

"Hey! Hey! Natsume??? What the-" she argued, fighting his swift arms. "Stop! You pervert!!!"

"Hold still!" he yelled, peeling it off her, but then stopped when her pink brassier came to view.

"You're wearing a bra inside that jacket while pretending as Ryoma? What the hell... What if Haruka suddenly seduces you and you'll both do it, then she'll definitely find out how gay you are!"

Slap! Came her palms at his red face. Tears formed at the sides of her auburn orbs.

"I never thought you could say that to me! You... idiotic moron... perverted... rapist!!!" her hands were shivering as she hugged her clothes.

"Who said I'm going to rape you?!" he shot back with wide eyes.

And just then, he realized their picture. Mikan was already half naked and was sitting on the toilet bowl again. He was actually sitting on her lap in a nasty way. He was nearly hugging her, but there was nothing wrong with that. What was the main point there was that he took off her clothes in a forced manner. And definitely, that might be called as the first stage in raping somebody, am I right?

"But- but... You..." came her stammering voice. "Look at what you've just done! You tore my jacket and- and-"

"Ssh......" he hushed with a calm face and he rested his finger against her quivering lips. "It's not... It's... well..."

Mikan was surprised with his sudden comforting voice that all the tears that she held back rained unstoppably. She sobbed even more when he slowly hugged her.

"I'm... sorry if that's what you thought it'd be... But... I just want you to do a favor for me. And it doesn't include you and me doing... 'it'... well... It's a different thing if you would like us to do it. I would definitely like it if we have it. But then that's not my intension."

"Waaaaaaaaaaah!" she sobbed like a baby as Natsume flinched and panicked...

"Hey hey hey! Stop! I didn't mean that! Ssh... Sorry... Stop crying! C'mon...Can't you tell a joke when it's one?"

"You're a stupid joker. Corny and never funny!" she told him stealing a pinch at his side.

"Owe! Okay, okay... Here's the favor first, before we get to the good part..." he took her close to him and whispered, slightly tickling her earlobe.

-

"I hate you I hate you I hate you! Natsume I hate you!!!" Mikan's voice echoed from inside and this signaled Ruka to bust the door as soon as possible.

"Mikan?! I'm... I'm coming!!! I'll save you from that sleazy boyfriend of yours!" the blonde boy yelled as he pulled the reins of his mad wild bore.

"I'm coming!!!!!!!"

Smoke came out from the pig's nostrils as it scratched the floor with its sharp hooves. With puckered brows, Ruka kicked the floor and smiled slyly...

"Let's go, Bore! Let's save my damsel in distress! CHARGE!!!!!!"

(Action music of trumpets as Ruka on his bore galloped towards the door... yet stopped awkwardly producing smoke on the floor when the door slightly opened.)

"Ruka? What're you... doing with that... bore?" Mikan asked, hiding behind the slightly opened door. She was breathing heavily and droplets of sweat crowded her temples. Ruka could only see her bare shoulders and he got freaked out when her pigtails were gone and her hair was all messed up.

"M-Mikan? What the... What happened to you? I mean..." Ruka's hairs stood on ends as he dismounted the bore and went near her.

Mother mercy... Did they really do 'it'? No...

"No way!" Ruka stammered.

"What's wrong, Nogi? Surprised? Think we aren't going to do the 'it', eh?" Natsume's figure came out and he leaned along the doorframe. He only had his boxers on and he even had a wet look.

Mikan's face went all red as she listened. Only her head was popping out the door for she pretended she didn't wore even single clothing, but the truth was that she still had her pants on, and even her bra. She only slid the straps down so they'd be hidden from Ruka.

Ruka was speechless and he felt embarrassed himself. He didn't knew what he was even doing in that room in the first place.

"I guess I just... disturbed you two." He said, clenching his fists.

"As a matter of fact. You did. You should be ashamed of that, you know." Natsume said with a sly grin. "Right, idiot?" he turned to Mikan and she faintly nodded back.

"I'm sorry then." He said with a pained expression as he crept outside and closed the door behind him.

-

I'm sorry, Ruka... she thought as she closed her eyes, imagining Ruka's face as he looked palely at her. She knew he was expecting that she'd argue and deny everything Natsume that said, but then she failed him.

She slumped on the floor and leaned flat along the cold door, and suddenly warm skin touched her forehead.

"Are you okay?" Natsume asked, resting his forehead on hers.

"I can't believe what you just made me do." She said with a pout. "Now I could only think of what Ruka's thinking of me now... I bet a cheap little bitch or even a flirty cow... and it's your entire fault!!!"

"My fault? If he couldn't have been messing up on us I wouldn't have made you do it in the first place!"

"But you could've thought of something else! Not me and you having sex in this stupid dirty cube!"

"I couldn't think of anything else!"

"That's because you're a pervert! That's the reason! You don't care about other people's feelings because all you think about is yourself! I can't believe why I picked the wrong guy!!!"

"And is it my fault you picked the wrong guy?"

Mikan was supposed to shoot back another one, yet when she discerned what Natsume meant, she felt a sting at her chest. And that was the only time when she looked into his eyes. They were shady, and lonely, as if hiding some tears that fail to come out and that moment, a memory flashed into her mind.

-Flasback-

"I don't understand."

"What?" Mikan asked as they walked along the empty corridors.

They had just left the hill where they always talked to each other every afternoon, and now they were on their way to their room.

"Ruka and Tsubasa are both good guys aren't they?"

"Of course... Why?"

Natsume slid his hands into his pockets and he remained silent as they both stopped.

"They're both gentlemen, handsome, smart... and heartthrobs. Added up to so much more... While you... you're nonchalant, moody, a snob and definitely a pervert. You always call me idiot, and not only that, you-"

"I never asked about me." He replied sleepily, walking passed her.

She smiled and gained fast on him, stopping before him with a huge teasing smile on her face. "But you know why I chose you? Hmm, Natsume?"

"Not interested."

After that came silence as Mikan smiled with her thoughts.

It's because you were the only one who makes me feel my heart beat in the right way.

"What're you laughing about, idiot?"

"Am not laughing..." she hummed and skipped away from him, leaving him a confused expression.

-EndofFlashback-

What's wrong with you, Mikan?! This isn't like you. What's gotten into you? I can't feel you're the same person anymore... I can't believe it. I can't believe I hurt more than two persons in just one stone... I can't believe I'm standing to hurt somebody just for my own happiness... I even blamed my mistakes to the people around me! Ruka, Tsubasa, Haruka...What's gotten into me? Oh God I can't believe I almost forgot how I even loved Natsume in the first place!

"Mikan, you idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, surprising Natsume. She had this familiar jolly face that she once had before, and this sent a glow in Natsume's eyes.

"M-Mik-"

"Natsume... I'm sorry. Forget about everything. That wasn't the real me. I'm so sorry for everything and I promise I won't let the idiot in me be buried again!"

"What? I- can't understff!"

He couldn't say anything any longer for she had kissed him and he felt he was with Mikan for the first time in days.

"Idiot..." Natsume said after she pulled him away. "I'm supposed to be the one to do that."

He moved and pulled her back once again, but then she pulled away and smiled slyly...

"Na ah, ah..." she teased as she slid in her jacket and crept out the bathroom door. "That... would have to wait! I still have a lot of things to fix and I'll be back after an hour!"

And she left the raven haired boy with a confused expression, once again.

OMG... i can't beleive i'm back in the society! Woohoo! feels good to write again... And I'm so sorry for being out for a very loooong time! huhuhu...
