Chapter Four: Return to the sea...
"You found me... You're finally here. I can't believe it... I found you again." Natsume whispered as Sumire grinned and hugged him back, smiling like a gremlin as she turned her head and looked up at a certain window, and she grinned as she stuck her tongue out at the young girl, who stared at her, then dropped the pale blue curtain as she turned around, tears forming in her eyes.
Mikan knew that Natsume had been taken from her once again, Sumire had won...
Mikan sat in her room that day, tears filling in her eyes as she watched Sumire and Natsume walking down the beach together, arm in arm as Sumire laughed and sang for Natsume when he asked her to sing. Mikan's voice was heard, and she wanted to tell Natsume it was her voice Sumire was using, but now her voice was Sumire's, instead. Tears rolled down her pale face.
She heard them laughing, and Mikan closed her bedroom curtains as she stared at her bangle that Natsume had given her, now he had no feelings for her because Sumire had tricked him into believing that she was the mermaid who had saved him, and Mikan was letting her do it.
"Mikan! You should react to this! Don't let Sumire break you!" Hotaru yelled as they all ran into the bedroom, staring at Mikan who looked up with tears in her eyes as she stared at them, then she realised that the other boys were there, but she just looked down at her lap sadly. Hotaru stared at her, then Khiara tugged her skirt and Mikan looked up as the small girl sat in her lap, then Anna walked towards Mikan and sighed, hugging the poor mermaid.
"Mikan, we have to tell Natsume the truth, then he will see Sumire for who she really is, a lying cheat! Come on, we should tell him now." Anna said, but Mikan shook her head sadly as she put Khiara down and stood up, walking out of the room and closing the door as her friends sighed and she sat on the floor, listening to all their words.
"Mikan... She won't face up to it, she may love Natsume, but she loves him far too much to tell him the truth. He is happy now, happy with a liar, and Mikan wouldn't want to break his happiness just to get him back." Nonoko said to her friends as they stared at the door then sighed. Khiara started to form small tears in her eyes as she stared at the door, and no one noticed it. Mikan sighed and stood up, walking away as she went into a smaller room and sat in the corner, crying silently to herself.
OUTSIDEOUTSIDEOUTSIDE
"Remeber what I promised you, that I would return because I love you. No one can stop our love, can they, Natsume-Kun?" Sumire asked as she smiled and Natsume shook his head, smiling and hugging her as she sat on a rock then looked out at the sea as her hair blew in the wind and she giggled, then stared at Natsume.
"The sea's so pretty, isn't it? But not as pretty as you are," Sumire said as she smiled and kissed him. Natsume kissed her back, but he wasn't sure why he was kissing her, he felt that it wasn't right, but she was his mermaid, wasn't she? He then thought of Mikan and gasped, pulling away from Sumire who stared at him and growled.
"Natsume, what's wrong?" Sumire asked, staring at him as he looked at her, then shrugged and smiled as she arched an eyebrow. Sumire knew who he was thinking about, he had thought of that Mikan Sakura! She growled then smiled and hugged him, and Natsume reluctantly hugged back but smiled.
"Natsume, you know Mikan? You shouldn't go near her ever again, she's bad news, I mean, please, she tried to hurt me last night! She wrote a note saying that she would turn me into mush if I kissed you or said I love you! She says you're her property! Natsume, please, don't go near her!" Sumire begged, crocodile tears in her eyes as Natsume stared at her, and gasped, but should he believe her lie? But he didn't know it was a lie...
"Sumire, Mikan's my friend, I don't think she would do that..." Natsume's sleeve was tugged, and he looked down at Sumire who had big fat tears rolling down her face as she stared at him, gulping and hugging his arm as he sighed, then hugged her.
"If you loved me... Then you would keep her out of your life! Please, I'm scared, Natsume! Don't keep her in your life, she is nothing to you!" Sumire cried as Natsume gave a small nod and kissed her forehead, sighing as he hugged the cheat.
"I will, I won't talk to her any longer." Natsume whispered, and Anna, Nonoko, Hotaru, Khiara, Koko, Yuu, Ruka and Youichi all heard it, and gasped. How would Mikan react to that? How would Mikan react to Natsume ignoring her because of Sumire's lie...?
"No! Mikan, she should act now! Koko, we should tell her, Hotaru, Nonoko you should..." Anna cried, grabbing her friends arm, but she heard a firm 'no', and her arm was slapped away. Anna gasped and fell to the ground, her hand shaking as she stared at Hotaru while Koko helped her up, they all satred at Hotaru, who was shaking and had tears in her eyes, she turned to look at Anna, sadly.
"No... Mikan won't want us to interfere in Natsume's life... We just have to watch and obsereve. Mikan has to take her own action, but knowing her, she won't. Mikan will be so broken hearted, and she will die broken hearted..." Hotaru whispered sadly as she stared at the window and saw Natsume walking with Sumire, hands clasped together as Ruka put his arms around her, and she cried salty tears.
What would happen to Mikan? She would surely die broken hearted...
Mikan sat in the room, laying on the floor as she cried small tears and sniffed, thinking of her life without Natsume by her side. Sumire had delibrately taken her from him, she was breaking Mikan into tiny pieces and shoving it in the young girls face. Mikan sobbed as she hugged her knee's to her chest. Then she heard the bell for dinner, so she sat up and dried her eyes, getting up and walking out of the room and down the stairs. She walked towards the dining area and saw the others there already, and Natsume was with Sumire, feeding her like a baby. Mikan stared at them as Sumire grinned and poked her tongue out while Natsume wasn't looking, and Mikan stared at her and tears filled her eyes.
Sumire grinned and pulled a face, then kissed Natsume in front of Mikan as the young girl burst into tears, and ran out of the room as Natsume looked over his shoulder, then shrugged lightly while everyone else gasped in horror. He was delibrately ignoring her because Sumire had ordered him to! Ruka thought that Natsume wouldn't act so low!
"Natsume! Don't ignore Mikan, she's your friend!" Ruka yelled, standing up as Natsume glared at Ruka and stood up, staring at his best friend with fire in his eyes.
"Shut up! She shouldn't be so damn stupid! Don't make it sound like I like her in any way, she's just a girl who showed up! And now I see her for who she really is, and evil little girl who wants to hurt Sumire! I think you should believe Sumire and act now before Mikan brainwashes you all!" Natsume yelled as everyone gasped, but Sumire grinned as she tightened her grip around his arm, and they all saw it but Natsume who was glaring at them all, and Sumire stuck her tongue out and chukled, glaring at them.
"She's the one brainwashing you! Sumire is a cheat and a liar! She is tricking you! Open your eyes, Hyuuga! Sumire hates Mikan and is out to get her! Don't you realise it?" Ruka yelled, and Natsume suddenly kicked his chair away and his hands swiped over the table, and everything flew off as Sumire gasped, then grinned brightly as her eyes shined. She was a true, evil gremlin.
"Don't try and turn me against her, Ruka! If you don't like her then you can just leave! I don't have time for a guy who isn't my friend no more! None of you are my firends, if you hate Sumire, then you hate me for making the right choice! Mikan is nothing! Nothing nothing NOTHING!" Natsume yelled, and all the girls gasped and suddenly fell as their boyfriends caught them, and Ruka stared at Natsume with sad eyes, then he sighed and hardened his stare.
"I guess you won't open your eyes, you are a fool, Natsume, and when it's too late... You'll regret it, let's go, guys." Ruka hissed, and he helped Hotaru out of the room as his friends followed, but Youichi's arm was caught hold of by Natsume, who stared at his little brother and smiled.
"You'll still stay with me, you want to get to know Sumire, right?" he asked as Youichi stared at him, then snatched his arm away and growled, glaring at Natsume as Sumire gasped, a hand covering her mouth as she stared at the boy, but inside, she was grinning.
"You are no brother of mine, Natsume, not until you put everything right. If you stay with that old hag... You will never be loved again!" Youichi yelled, tears in his eyes as he ran out of the room in tears, Khiara running after him to comfert the saddened boy. Natsume and Sumire were left alone, and he stared at her as she hugged him, sighing and shaking her head.
"I'm sorry natsume, I cause you trouble..." Sumire whispered, but Natsume shook his head and stared at her as tears dribbled down her face, and he kissed her cheek as he sighed, then sat down as she kneeled on the floor and put her head on his lap, smiling as he stared at her.
"Nothing is your fault, they just can't see that I love you... I made the right choice. If they can't accept you, then they won't be my friends any longer, only you will be in my life." Natsume whispered as he closed his eyes, and Sumire grinned like a terrible witchy gremlin, cackeling inside.
"You don't know how right they are, you idiot! But Mikan will die broken hearted, and you will never see her again, no one will come between you an I, I will make sure of that, and Mikan is too kind to fight me off you, so this is all in the palm of my delicate hand..." Sumire thought to herself as she laughed inside, and she closed her eyes, proud that she had suceeded in her terrible plan, and surely, she was going to kill Mikan by being with Natsume Hyuuga, Mikan's only true love...
NEXTDAYNEXTDAYNEXTDAY!
Mikan sat on the beach as she stared at the sea sadly, then she heard someone's voice, her voice, rising in the air from a bedroom as Sumire sang to Natsume, who was sitting next to the evil girl as she sang sweetly to him, it was like he was in a trance by her voice.
"My love for you will rise,
No one can stop me from loving thee,
Our wings will touch the skies,
I love you and love me, so we can live in hamrony!
Our love will lift us both into the air!"
Natsume held her hands as she sang and he smiled, but Mikan was crying inside because he had fallen for her trick. Mikan stood up and walked from the beach as Koko and Yuu watched, staring at her then glaring up at Sumire's bedroom window. Yuu was the first to speak.
"That should be Mikan singing! Sumire shouldn't even be here! She's just ruining his life now!" Yuu said angrily as he watched Mikan walking off silently, her hair flying behind her head as she stared at the ground. Koko nodded and sighed, staring at the young girl. But Natsume wouldn't see any of this sense. Mikan knew she had finally lost the battle...
"Yes, but Natsume, he won't see anything clearly until Sumire's voice finally breaks. Mikan will stay like this until her voice has returned, but when will it return?" Nonoko asked as she turned to stare at her friends who shrugged then sighed while Khiara stared out of the window, watching as Mikan stared at the sea from the cliff side, then walked away as she shivered. Khiara's small eyes form big tears of sadness for her dear friend. Mikan didn't know how much her friends were suffereing through it, aswell...
Mikan sat on the grass as she stared at the sun setting, tears in her eyes as she sobbed silently and lay her head in her arms, wishing and wishing that Natsume would realise who she really was soon, but sumire had him in the palm of her hands already, Mikan knew Natsume didn't care anymore. That made her cry even more.
"Somewhere in my heart, I will break...
Never to love again, just to be filled with hate...
Who will protect me and who will I love?
Because he won't see me for me... Oh, I
Wish he could see me (wish he could see me)
Wish he could stay by me (stay by me)
Look into your heart and you will find...
That I am the one you need (oh you need...)" (Mikan singing inside her head)
"Natsume-Kun... You will never see me for the mermaid who loves you, will you? You just wpon't open your eyes, you're going to let me fall into pieces... And I won't do anything about it, because I love you... Too much." Mikan said to herself as she cried and stood up, running anywhere as tears streamed down her face, and Natsume watched from his bedroom window as Sumire went to get something to eat. He sighed then turned away, closing the curtains, then he stared at the blue pearl Sumire had shown him to prove she was his mermaid.
"Don't you believe that I'm the one!
Can't you see that I need you (I need you)
If you listened to your heart you would surely see it (oh you would see it)
But in a trance, you can't poss-ibly...
I do believe (I do believe)
Somehow, my heart will bra-ake!
Because you won't see me for me (no you won't)
Oh, I...
Wish you could see me, (I wish you could see me!)
Open you eyes and look into your heart!
Open your eyes, look into my eyes! (Open your eyes and look closely! Surely you will fi-i-ind me!)
Listen to my voice from your heart! I love you more than life can tell!"
Mikan ran and ran as she cried, and her friends watched her as Anna cried into Nonoko's chest and Khiara hugged Youichi tightly. All the mermaids heard Mikan's song. Mikan ran up the cliff as she cried, then stared at the ocean over the cliff, and she shook her head as Natsume listened to Sumire's voice, and Mikan stared up at Natsume's bedroom window and fell on her knee's, crying her eyes out.
"I love you my Natsume-Kun! I always will!
Da dede dum doo doo! Natsume you will love me too-oo-oo!
Spread your wings and fly! We can touch the skies!"
Sumire sang as Mikan cried, then stared at her friends window and she tried to smiled, but she couldn't, then she stood up and waved as she walked towards the edge of the cliff, and Khiara gasped as she stared at Mikan, who waved again, then Khiara realised what was happening, and she turned to her friends in shock, opening her mouth.
"She's gonna jump! Mikan's gonna jump!" Khiara suddenly yelled, speaking for the first time as all her friends gasped and screamed as Mikan stared at them, and sadly shook her head as they screamed at her, telling her not to jump, but she turned her head and closed her eyes, blocking their voices out. She had nothing else to live in the human world for, now.
"You never realised that it was me... (no you didn't)
So now I will go because you can't love me!
I believe you will realise,
But not now, I can't see you anymore,
Find me again if you love me, and surely...
My voice will reach towards you, and I will break free...
Yea, I will break free..."
Mikan then jumped as her friends yelled and started to cry, and they jumped into their loved ones arms as Mikan fell from the cliff, her eyes closed as she suddenly hit the water, and her tail appeared as her dress dissolved, and tears formed in her eyes. But what Mikan didn't know, or what she didn't remeber, was that when she returned to the sea, her voice returned, and Sumire's original voice would return.
And that's what happened, Sumire's voice started to break, and she gasped, clutching her throat as Natsume covered his ears, and stared at her as her eyes widened, and she realised that Mikan had sacrificed being a human, Mikan had given up, but... Mikan's voice was hers again. Sumire gasped as her eyes widened, and Natsume stared at her in shock, and stood up, holding his pearl.
"What... What happened to your voice?" he whispered as she stared at him, and tears fell down her face, and those tears, turned into pearls, green pearls. Natsume saw this and gasped, staring at the pearl around his neck, it wasn't green. It was blue! Then his eyes widned as he stepped back, staring at the imposter (sumire)
Then he remebered, all the colours Mikan had worn were blue, and whatever Sumire wore, she wore green. He stared at her, then dropped her green pearl as his fist shook, and she fell on her knee's, clutching her throat as she cried, staring at the floor of the bedroom.
"You... You lied to me, you made me lose my friends, you made me ignore Mikan! You evil little girl! You have no heart! You shouldn't be here! You... I hate you!" Natsume yelled, running out of the room as Sumire started to cry, then she looked up, tears in her eyes, and her tears turned red like her eyes!
"Natsume... No! You're mine!" Sumire screamed, and she suddenly teleported in front of Natsume, who's eyes widened as he gasped and Sumire glared at him, and she pushed him away as she growled.
"You stupid boy! Mikan has nothing to do with you anymore! You fell in love with me! And you will only have me in your life! You can't love Mikan! You broke her heart and now she is dead! Dead dead DEAD!" Sumire screeched as Natsume stared at her in shock. Was it true? Was Mikan dead?
Sumire growled and turned around, running from the room, from the house and she ran down to the beach, snorting and hissing as she saw the sea and grinned, cackeling inside as she closed her eyes and jumped into the sea, and her dress dissolved as she looked around.
"Damn that stupid mermaid, but she'll get hers, one day. Hahahaha! I will kill her so that Natsume and her voice is all mine! And maybe... Her body!" Sumire hissed as she grinned, then closed her eyes and she turned into a beautiful mermaid with long blonde hair and a blue tail, her eyes were a crystal blue and she grinned.
"Mikan will think I am her dead mother, this will be good..." Sumire hissed as she swam off to her cave, to make a potion...
MIKANMIKANMIKANMIKANMIKANMIKANMIKAN
"Natsume... You... You broke my heart, how can I forgive you for doing that, I loved you and Sumire... She took you... Natsume I forgive you, all I wish is for you to have happiness." Mikan whispered as she put her head in her hands and started to cry, then she looked up as tears dribbled down her face, and one turned into a pearl as she sniffed, then lifted her head and stared at the surface of the water.
"Mermaids singing together,
Come join in the song of peace and love,
Ccan he see me or even hear me,
Jopin in this last song of love and peace
See me as alive and happy,
Keep my loved one happy now,
Keep him in harmony-y-y!"
MEANWHILE...
"Huh, Mikan! Guys, Mikan is singing a song of her last life! She's singing and asking us to join in her song. Natsume, it's his song!" Nonoko cried as all of the girls gasped and stared at each other, then they nodded and smiled as they stood in a long line and the boys watched them. Natsume sat in the halls, then heard them all singing and suddenly thought of Mikan when he heard the song opf love and last life.
"Holding on to last life!
Lost love hold on to me and never let go,
Keep happy my dear and never lose hope.
Just remember me as a friend.
I L.O.V.E. love love love LOVE you!
Just remeber me in your heart!"
"M-Mikan?" Natsume said quietly, only hearing her song out of all five voices, and he stood up. running towards the bedroom that all the girls and his friends were in. They all stared at him, and he ran towards Hotaru and grabbed her shoulders, staring at her.
"Hotaru! Hotaru, I heard Mikan's voice, only hers... I know Mermaids have a power inside of them, can any of you make a potion that can help me to breathe under water at all? I need it... I made a mistake and I know it isn't too late! I know it isn't!" Natsume cried as tears spilled down his cheeks, and they all stared at him then smiled, and Hotaru looked at Nonoko who nodded and grinned.
"I can help, my abilities in potion making aren't very good, but at least I can help you. Khiara, find some sea weed from the sea, you'll be allowed to return after the pact Mikan's grandpa and Sumire made together, Anna, I need you to make something like a cookie, we'll put the seaweed into it and crush it into a liquid, Hotaru, make a comunicator for Natsume so that he can keep in touch with us when he needs help, and I'll find the potion bottle, Yuu, follow me!" Nonoko said as she grabbed his hand and ran out of the room, Anna stared at Koko and smiled.
"You follow me, Koko, come on!" Anna cried and Khiara grabbed Youichi's hand.
"Wait for me on the beach Youichi, come on we have to hurry!" Khiara cried as they ran out of the room, then Hotaru took Ruka's hand in hers, then smiled at Natsume faintly.
"I hope we aren't too late, because Sumire wants to get to Mikan before you do. Come on, Ruka, show me where the gadget room is, lover boy!" Hotaru said as they ran out of the room and Natsume stared out of the window, and sighed. Would he get to Mikan in time, though...
BACK TO MIKAN...
Mikan stared at her bangle as salty tears filled her eyes, and she sat on a rock close by as she sniffed and put a hand over her mouth, her eyes closed as her tears fell on the rocks, and Sumire came from round the collar with something in her hands, she was in Mikan's mother's form, and she grinned as she spotted Mikan and chuckled, then swam towards the crying mermaid and sighed, smiling.
"Mikan, my child, what is wrong with you?" she asked in a kind voice, and Mikan shook her head as she cried, then looked up and saw a beautiful and kind face, and she gasped as tears fell and she stared at the woman in front of her and gasped,
"Mamma, Mamma I thought you had died! Am I dreaming or... Mamma, MAMMA!" Mikan cried as she flew at Sumire in her mothers form, and Sumire smiled sweetly as she fell on the sea bed and hugged Mikan as the young mermaid cried into Sumire's arms, and Sumire grinned, then stared at Mikan and smiled sweetly.
"Mikan... I'm here now, but to be with me forever, I have one request from you." Sumire said as Mikan stared at her, tears pouring down her face.
"Yes, Mamma?" Mikan asked...
HUMAN WORLD...
"Hurry! I have to get to her before Sumire does! Do you know what she will do to Mikan?" Natsume asked as he ran along the beach then stopped at the edge of the waters and stared at his friends as Hotaru and everyone stopped, and Khiara took a step forward, tears in her eyes as she stared at Natsume and nodded her head.
"Mikan is in grave danger, Sumire will most likely trick her and kill her with a death potion. Mermaids can not die, unless they die of a death potion, or a broken heart. If Mikan won't drink the potion, she will die in three days due to her heart being broken. Natsume, take this with you, her pearl will lead you to her. A pearls owner will find it's way to the mermaid." Khiara said, handing him the pearl as Natsume smiled, then looked at his friends and sighed.
"I'm sorry I never believed you, but now I have to save Mikan from Sumire... Thanks for being a great help, and now, I have to save my little mermaid!" Nnatsume yelled as he took the potion from Nonoko's hands and drank it before attatching the device to contact everyone around his ear, then he jumped into the sea as they all watched, and Hotaru's eyes filled with tears, wishing her dear friend was well...
UNDERWATER...
"Mikan, if you drink this potion, then you can be with me forever in the heavens. You will never be hurt again and your heart will never break, if you drink all of the potion, we will be next to each other and no one will take you away from me again my dear child, just drink it and we will stay with each other." Sumire said as Mikan stared at her, and tried to smile. Mikan carefully took the potion bottle out of Sumire's hands and stared at it, then looked at her fake mother and sighed, staring into her kind face.
"Together... Forever? I like that... But, will Natsume be with me?" Mikan asked, thinking of the boy she loved as Sumire stared at her in shock, then she smiled and put a hand on Mikan's head as tears filled in Mikan's eyes again and she put her head against Sumire's chest as she sniffed and cried while Sumire smiled and patted her back.
"Of course, everyone you love will be with you forever in the heavens, no one will come between any of us my dear child... I promise... Drink it, and you will be happy once again." Sumire said as Mikan stared at her, then smiled and closed her eyes, opening her mouth as she smiled and tears fell from her chin while she cried tears of saddness and joy for Natsume, and for her friends.
"Return to the sea and be happy
Cry your tears and never forget him
Love will always follow but my heart will surely break,
To never return to the world I love so...
Remeber this song Natsume-Kun!
Sing for your love and always love me!
But don't forget me anymore and always stay in my heart!
Never return to me..."
Mikan then sighed and brought the potion bottle to her lips as Sumire grinned, and laughed inside as Mikan brought it closer to her mouth, and was about to drink it when suddenly she heard something inside her head and her heart. And she gasped.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
"No! Mikan don't do it!" Mikan gasped when she heard these voices and fell back as Sumire growled, and then the potion bottle suddenly flew out of her hands and smashed against a rock, dissolving it instantly as Mikan gasped, then looked at who had slapped her hand and she gasped when she saw him... Natsume!
"Mikan! You don't drink that! It's a death potion! It will kill you and I don't want you to die! Mikan, that isn't your mother, either... It's Sumire in disguise!" Natsume yelled as he held her shoulders and Mikan gasped, staring at Sumire as her eyes turned red and she suddenly transformed back into her normal, evil self and Mikan screamed.
"Very well worked out, Hyuuga! But like I said, you're mine! If I can't have you, no one can! Mikan will die!" Sumire yelled, a knife suddenly appearing in her hand as Mikan gasped, and Natsume's eyes widened and Sumire grinned, holding it up as she cackeled.
"Long live Mikan Sakura and Natsume Hyuuga!" Sumire screeched, throwing the knife at them, but Natsume suddenly grabbed Mikan by the waist and jumped out of the way as she gasped, and they were thrown into a cave, Mikan sat up, tears in her eyes as she stared at him and cried, her arms around his neck.
"Natsume, you came back... But why? Natsume, you idiot! She'll kill you!" Mikan cried as Natsume hugged her back and then kissed her cheek, staring at her as he breathed heavily, then smiled and cupped a hand around her face as she stared at him.
"I'll die for you if it means proving that I love you... I made a big mistake, and I love you, Mikan, you and only you, I'm glad I found out before she could make me fall for her more... I'm glad I made it to you in time!" Natsume cried as he hugged her tightly, tears in his eyes as Mikan smiled and hugged him back, crying for joy. Then a shadow cast over them and they gasped, looking up in fright at Sumire, who had five daggers in her hands, and she grinned as her eyes glowed black and she cackeled.
"Aww, lovers time is over, pretty boy! You two are going to die, and Mikan will finally be with her dead mother! Prepare to die, Natsume Hyuuga! Long live the Hyuuga's! AAAAAAAAARGH!" she screamed as she hurled herself at the two and Mikan gasped, her eyes wide with horror, as Sumire grinned and held out her daggers, and Mikan's eyes suddenly turned red with anger and she glared at Sumire, pushing Natsume out of the way and holding her arms out as Sumire headed for her instead of Natsume.
"Yeah, long live the Hyuuga's!" Mikan yelled as Sumire gasped, and her eyes widened as the knives suddenly went into Mikan, and Natsume gasped when he looked up and stared at her as Mikan's own eyes widened, and she fell as Sumire stood there, shaking and in shock.
"MIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" Natsume yelled as he swam over to her body and held her limp form in his arms as Ssumire stared at them, and then clutched her throat, her eyes turning white as she gasped, and she suddenly felt tears prick in her eyes. Mikan had saved him because she loved him, and Sumire would never do that... Sumire stared at them, then felt her body burn and she screamed, suddenly falling and disapearing.
Natsume stared at Mikan as she looked up at him weakly, tears in his eyes as she smiled weakly, a hand in his as he shook his head and cried.
"Mikan... don't die... Mikan, don't... I love you too much!" Natsume cried as Mikan smiled and stared at him, then lifted her hand to his cheek slowly and she closed her eyes, then opened them again and breathed in, sighing.
"Natsume-Kun... I love you too, but... People have to die. Even mermaids. I could have died from a potion, or a broken heart, but instead, I die with a smile on my face, I die because I saved you, I love you too much to let you die, and this is what killed Sumire, someone saving another through their love. Nnatsume, I..." but Mikan couldn't finish her sentence, and her hand fell down to her side as her head fell back and Natsume's eyes widened, and he shook his head, tears falling onto her face as he cried, shaking his head and shaking her.
"No... No... Mikan, no! MIKAN DON'T! MIKAN DON'T DIE! MIKAN!" he yelled as he cried, her body clutched close to his as he cried for his lost love, had he lost her forever now...?
CRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRYCRY
They were all waiting for Natsume on the beach, Khiara and Youichi were both asleep in each others arms, and then Hotaru and the others saw movement in the water and gasped, waking the two young lovers up and standing as they stared at the water, and Ruka picked Khiara up as Hotaru held onto Youichi as they watched the waters, and they saw raven hair come up from the water, and they gasped, all smiling but Khiara.
Then Natsume appeared from the water, his head down and his wet hair covering his face as he walked forwards, and all his friends and the mermaids smiled except Khiara, who sensed something was wrong. They all started to jump around and wave, yelling Natsujme and Mikan's names as Khiara's eyes filled with tears, and she shook her head slowly, then she jumped out of Ruka's arms and started to cry as she shook her head, running towards Natsume as he lifted Mikan out of the water.
"No.. No this isn't right! No Mikan! Mikan can't be dead, she can't! Natsume, Natsume she can't, she can't!" Khiara yelled as Natsume passed her, the young mermais (mikan) in his arms as he ignored them all, staring at his lost loves body and lay her on the sand as they all gasped, staring at the wounds on Mikan's stomach. This wasn't right, it wasn't true. It was a nightmare. No... Mikan was really dead.
Anna and Nonoko ran towards their sister and wrapped their arms around her, but Khiara pushed them away, running towards Mikan as she cried, and wrapped her arms around Mikan's shoulders as she cried, pushing anyone away who came near, even Natsume and Youichi. She didn't want anyone near her.
"No! Don't touch her! Mikan, wake up! Mikan don't leave us! Natsume needs you, Natsume and I... Don't leave us, Onee-Chan!" Khiara cried as she wept, and they all stared at her as Hotaru turned her head away, and Ruka wrapped his arms around her as she cried, and all the others cried as Khiara held onto Mikan's body, Natsume just stared at the ground, then fell onto his knee's and he wrapped his arms around Khiara, who gasped and looked up, staring at him as he hugged her, and she saw tears in his eyes, and Khiara fell into his arms as she burst into tears.
"Onii-san! Onii-san!" she cried as she hugged him, then Natsume let go of her and stared at Mikan's body, and wrapped his arms around her form as he cried, then stared at her face and brushed strands of hair from her eyes as he sniffed, then bent close to her ear and whispered something.
"I love you... No matter where you are, but, this belongs to you, I have to return it my little mermaid." Natsume whispered, then he sat up, and leaned closer, closing his eyes as he kissed her lips, and Khiara gasped, staring at him as the others looked up, and stared as their tears hit the ground, then they all held out their hands and pearls formed from their tears as Natsume's blue pearl glowed and so did the mermaids as they closed their eyes, and a blue light surrounded them all as the girls stood in a circle.
Natsume then parted from Mikan, and one of his tears hit her mouth, and Mikan's tail suddenly started to fade away, and her blue dress appeared as Natsume held her in his arms, and Mikan's wounds started to fade away like her tail had, and Natsume put his lips over hers once again as the other four mermaids pearls started to fade awa, and the energy went into Mikan's pearl, and then, the glowing stopped, and all the girls tears started to fall onto the ground as they cried and hugged their boyfriends.
Mikan's eyes then started to open, and she sat up, staring at all them and she stared at Natsume, and he stared at her, then gasped and hugged her tightly, crying as she stared at all her crying friends, and she then hugged Natsume and smiled, tears rolling down her face as he pulled her into a tight hug after yelling her name and Mikan cried happily.
"I heard voices, calling me... Natsume, you came back for me, I love you Natsume-kun! NATSUME-E!" Mikan cried as she hugged him even tighter and they fell onto the sand, and Natsume laughed as he kissed her and they all smiled as they watched the two love birds hug, and Hotaru burst into big baby tears as Ruka smiled and hugged her tightly.
"I'm glad you're alive my little mermaid, if you weren't with me now... I couldn't breathe without you." Natsume said as Mikan smiled, then leaned in and kissed him as he blushed and she blushed, but he wrapped his arms around her as they kissed and the others all smiled, then Hotaru grinned and stared at Ruka, who stared at her, then stepped back when he saw her grin.
"Er... Imai, what are you.. WPAH!" he cried when she suddenly dived onto him and kissed him as everyone else laughed, but Youichi grabbed Khiara's hands and turned her to face him as he smirked, and she grinned then tackeled him tot he ground and giggeled. Then they kissed as Anna hugged Koko and kissed him while he turned red, then they fell on the floor as Koko muttered an 'ow', and Anna yelled a 'sorry'.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nonoko yelled until Yuu suddenbly kissed her, and they rolled onto the floor as Mikan pulled away from Natsume, and stared at her friends as she smiled and laughed. They were all crazy!
"Hahahaha! I'm glad they feel the same way as I do!" Mikan cried as Natsume grinned, and she wrapped her arms around his neck as he brought his face closer to hers, and then closed his eyes as she closed hers, and they kissed again, while the mermaids in the sea smiled, knowing that their own little mermaids would live happily ever after...
