RECAP:
Unnoticed by Natsume, but Mikan was now blushing like a traffic light.
'What was this feeling? Is it love?' She thought as she hugged Natsume and slept.

Chapter six – The secret garden
The next morning Mikan woke up, just to find Natsume staring intently at her, she blushed a little.
"Wha-what are you doing?" she whispered.
"Looking at you, and do you know what you did last night? You kick me in the stomach for three times! And hell, how great it felt!" He smiled, noting the obvious sarcasm.
Mikan's blood boiled with anger.
"HYUUGA. NATSUMEEEEE!!!!!" she screeched. "I HATE YOU!!"
"And do you know that you said "I love you" last night too?" He said, smiling widely.
Mikan blushed as she remembered the event last night and the thought just crashed into her mind.
'HECK! I even questioned myself if I'm in love with this moron. The answer is extremely clear now. I. Hate. Him. And this love thing is never going to happen.' She thought, mentally slapping herself for even thinking of falling in love for the bastard in front of her. She looked at her blankets. It was gone, and her legs were stuck in between Natsume's and Natsume was only wearing his boxers. So, it practically looked like they just did it last night.
Natsume's eyes trailed down too, and saw the same sight.
'Uh-oh…' he sweat dropped, mentally counting three.
1…
2…
3…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! HYUUGA NATSUME! WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!" she screamed as Natsume immediately ran, seeing that Mikan held a pillow up high, ready to hit him.
Mikan huffed as she saw Natsume ran out of her room.
'I'm definitely not in love with him.'

(In the cafeteria)
Tsubasa and Akito were worried about their little sister, why? Look at Mikan and you'll see a murderous aura around her and her eyes shone as if waiting for her prey. They sweat dropped as they tried to calm her down.
"O-oi, Mikan, calm-calm down… why are you like this anyways? Who's the culprit?" Akito asked.
Mikan's eyes shone more brightly as it can, looking at her brother.
"That. Stupid. Hyuuga." She said through gritted teeth.
Her brothers neared her, urging her to continue. Mikan told them everything as the two had different dramatic expression.
"WHAT?" Tsubasa said laughing. "YOU EVEN, AHAHAH, THOUGHT THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE?? HHAHAHAHAAHHAHAA! THAT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD!!!"
Akito hit him on the head.
"Let's just leave her alone…" Akito said as he dragged Tsubasa away.
The brunette scoffed at the sight as she left the cafeteria also. She started wandering around the academy, as she hadn't really had a chance to walk around. It was too much drama for her. She sighed as she found herself near a gate towards a garden. Driven by her curiosity, she opened the gate, making a creaking sound and quietly entered the garden.
The sight that welcomed her amazed her. It was extremely beautiful, the fountain, the grassy field, the benches, and the Sakura tree – wait, the SAKURA TREE? She rubbed her eyes, and open them again, it was real, the sakura tree. But then, she swore that she saw another one near the Central town. She shrugged and lay on the field, feeling the sun shining on her.
"Admiring the view, Polka? Coz I am…" a voice boomed.
She sat up and looked at the source of the voice.
"Up here idiot." The voice said again.
She looked up to the sakura tree, and found a pair of crimson pools staring intently at her.
"Natsume?" she thought out loudly.
Natsume suddenly smirked as he pointed at her thighs. They were wide open, and her panties were showing off to every prying eye here.
"AHHHHHH!!!! HYUUGAAAA NATSUMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" she shouted as she covered her panties and chased after Natsume with a fist.
Natsume dodged her attack as he picked her up bridal style, ignoring her complains and brought her to the highest of Sakura Tree.
When he reached the top, he released Mikan as Mikan gasped.
"WHOAAA!!!! I could see the whole academy from here!!!!" She exclaimed.
Natsume sat on the branch and Mikan sat with him.
"Natsume, actually, where are we?" asked Mikan as she swung her legs up and down.
"The secret garden," Natsume mumbled under his breath. "Well, how did YOU get here in the first place? Only I know this place, not even Ruka, don't tell me…" he said to her.
"I'm no stalker, get your perverted mind out of your head dude, seriously… and I just kept on wandering and I found this place!" she chirped.
She continued looking at the scenery displayed in front of her.
"Just… just don't tell anyone, ok?" Natsume sighed as he looked at her seriously.
Mikan turned her head as she caught his stare and she felt her face started to heat up.
"W-what?"
Chibi Natsume appeared. "Pinky promise." He stuck his pinky out.
"What?" she asked dumb founded.
"Promise me that you won't tell anyone." He said childishly.
'Never thought that THE Hyuuga Natsume would have this side of him,' she thought and sweat dropped and she stuck her pinky out hesitatingly.
Natsume grabbed her pinky and did the sign.
"Now, if you tell anyone, I'll kill you." He said as he started to climb down the tree.
'What just happened? Stupid cheeks, stop blushing…' she thought as she felt her face heated up more. 'God…'
"OI! Come down! The classes are about to begin!!!" Natsume shouted.
Mikan immediately jump down, forgetting that she was in a 3 stories high tree. Natsume's eyes widen at the sight of Mikan jumping down, he immediately rush towards the direction Mikan was falling as her whole body crashed on his.
"Ouch…" he whined as he rubbed his head.
Mikan immediately stood up and blushed a little.
"Sorry… and … thanks…" she said and ran away.
Natsume raised an eyebrow.
'Weirdo.'

(Unknown place)
"Fufufu, looks like that Hyuuga is denser than Sakura." The person said as she turned off the video camera. "I'll be waiting for more exciting moments of both of you, meanwhile, I'm going to eat crabs…" She mumbled darkly as she rush to the most famous crab restaurant in the academy.

(In class)
"Okies class, I'll be teaching you the basic technique of composing." Narumi said.
Entering into the academy didn't mean that you could compose. It just meant that you were extremely talented or gift at one or two instruments or you're good at singing. The main reason that almost 90 percent of the students enrolled into this school is to get famous. This music academy perfects each and every student and let him or her to go to the show biz world.
Narumi started talking about the chords, key and other stuffs they must know about composing. Suddenly, the back door of the classroom was opened.
"Oh, Imai san, you're here!" Narumi said happily as he signaled this "Imai san" to her own seat. "We're talking about composing, please take a seat!"
When she was seated, she raised her hand.
"Yes, Imai san?" he asked sweetly.
"First, don't speak to me with that voice, it makes me wanna puke. Second, why don't you ask Sakura over here to make an example?" She smirked as she looked at Mikan who was asleep.
"Okay, wait…" he said, walking towards Mikan. "Sakura san, please wake up, Sakura san…" he shook her as the sleeping beauty woke up and rubbed her eyes cutely.
"Did I miss anything?" she asked with her innocent big eyes.
'CUTEEE!~~' thought the boys and some lesbos.
"Sakura san, please compose a song, request by Imai san," he said politely.
"Umm… okay?" she said, walking near the piano, thinking about the garden, suddenly… DING! A thought came across her head as she asked Narumi something.
"Umm… do you mind if I ask a pianist of this class to help?" she asked.
"It's okay… umm… Imai san, please play the piano."
The Imai came out of the room to the middle as she tapped her foot impatiently.
Mikan immediately scribbled on the paper and gave it to Imai.
"Umm… a guitarist too?"
"Nogi kun, please help."
Nogi came out too as Mikan scribbled on another piece of paper and gave it to Nogi.
"Please play it. And Narumi, I wanted a violin…" she said.
Mumbles started in the room.
'Oi, is she for real? Like, composing in just a matter of seconds?"
"I think she's just a fake. Just listen how horrible it is.. *snickers *"
"OMG! SO FAST!!"
She grabbed the violin Narumi handed her as she signaled Imai to start.

Applauds were heard as they finished the piece of music.
Nogi and Imai was astonished with the speed Mikan used to compose, and not to mention the song was simple yet sad and elegant.
Mikan smiled sheepishly as she saw a raven-haired lad passed by. She immediately excused herself as she ran out of the room and caught up with the lad.
"Well, how was it?" Mikan asked hopefully.
"What's the piece's name?" asked the lad.
"Umm.. Song from the secret garden?" she said uncertainly.
The lad smirked.
"So, it's really for me…" the lad turned around, just to find Mikan's surprised face.
"EHHHH~~~ I THOUGHT YOU'RE TSUBASA NII!! NATSUME!! WHY IS IT YOU AND DID YOU SKIP CLASS?"
Natsume sweat dropped.
"Oi, don't compare me to that stupid baboon… and I have my own freedom to skip classes."
"Tch, boring, where did the oh-so-ever-childish Hyuuga Natsume go? And that song was for the GARDEN, not you, so don't be so full of pride and shut up." She said sarcastically.
Natsume blushed a little.
"Oi, I'm NOT childish."
"Yeah right, as if. You're the one who do pinky promises with that oh-so-cute expre-" but Mikan was sealed. By what? Guess. Right. Natsume's lips.
