Chapter 10

"Hotaru sure is hungry to make her walk so fast"Mikan said

'What are you up to this time Imai?'Natsume thought

Meanwhile at the buffet table..

"Okay Hotaru, we're here, so here's a plate and start picking"Ruka offered a plate to Hotaru and Hotaru just thrown the plate away

"WAAAH! Hotaru! You don't have to throw it away!"Ruka said

"You idiot, this is just an alibi, actually, we're going to the DJ and play us a little song"Hotaru said with a sly smile

"What are you planning to do now Imai! Aren't you satisfied about the incident five years ago?"Ruka asked

"No"Hotaru replied"Now, let's go! We don't have much time"Hotaru grabbed again Ruka's hand and they ran towards the DJ

"Hey, Mr. DJ, can you please play this song?"Hotaru asked

"Sure, why not"the DJ smiled and took the CD from Hotaru. He then changed the CD's and played Hotaru's request

Back to Mikan and Natsume...

Always said i would know where to find love,
Always thought i'd be ready and strong enough,
But some times i just felt i could give up

'This song! That voice!'Natsume gasped

"Wow, I'd never heard this song before but it's nice"Mikan said

"Hey Hotaru! That voice! It's.."Ruka was surprised to hear on the speakers

"Natsume, singing his heart out"Hotaru said slyly

But you came and you changed my whole world now,
I'm somewhere i've never been before
Now i see, what love means

"B-but how did you manage to record him?"Ruka asked

"Well, I have technology by my side"Hotaru replied

"Hey Natsume"Mikan said

"What?"Natsume asked

It's so unbelievable,
And i don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere i'd never thought i'd be

"Will you dance with me?"Mikan asked

In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now,
Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now,
I was lost and you've rescued me some how

Natsume looked at Mikan and suddenly, he grabbed Mikan's hand and they walked together on the dancefloor. Natsume hold on to Mikan's left hand and waist, while Mikan placed her right hand on to Natsume's shoulder then they started to dance, following the flow of the music

I'm alive , i'm in love you complete me,
And i've never been here before
Now i see, what love means

"You know what Natsume"Mikan said. Natsume didn't utter a word.

"Well, what we're doing right now, it feels nostalgic"Mikan said

It's so unbelievable,
And i don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere i'd never thought i'd be

"Me too"Natsume said then Mikan placed her head on to Natsume's shoulder

When i think of what i have, and this chance i nearly lost,
I can't help but break down...

"Mikan"Natsume said

"Yeah"Mikan replied

and cry
Oh yeah, break down and cry

"Will you be..."Natsume asked

"Be your what?"Mikan asked

It's so unbelievable,
And i don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall

"Are you sure, it's okay?"Natsume asked

"Natsume, I almost lost hope but, its good that you finally, finally asked me. Of course I will silly!"Mikan hugged Natsume tighter and then gave him a small kiss

I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere i'd never thought i'd be

"Hotaru, you did it!"Ruka was surprised 'Natsume, you're finally out of the darkness'

"Yeah, God, I'm hungry, Ruka fetch me a slice of cake please"Hotaru ordered

"Hey! Why should I?"Ruka protested. then Hotaru pointed to Ruka her BIG, SHINY, BAKA GUN

"And, this one is upgraded, so are you moving or not"Hotaru said and Ruka immediately ran towards the buffet table

"That Mikan! Always stealing Natsume away from me! And now, it's official! Wah!!!"Sumire cried until someone poked her on the shoulder and saw

"Heeeeeeey Sumire, wanna dance?"Yuu asked

"Hmmmmm, why not? For five years, you've improved your looks and well, you're almost as hot as Ruka, so, sure!"Sumire took Yuu's hand and they danced

"Folie à deux"Koko said 'Those two are crazy'

"C'est la vie"Anna replied 'That's life'

Now i see, what love means

The song ended and everybody enjoyed their halloween ball. Mikan and the others had their happy ending, except for Ruka and Nonoko of course, and Natsume knows that whatever obstacles that he might face, he knows that Mikan is always there to make him feel better and forget about his pain. Mikan grabbed the opportunity in front of her and she knows, its a great risk on her life, but it doesn't matter, as long as she's with Natsume, she feels safe.

THE END
