Taken Away (Gakuen Alice)

21.) The Awkward Date

Mikan

"Isn't this great? Spending time all together, friends, boyfriend. What a date?" I laughed nervously, breaking the silence occurring between the glaring boys. It wasn't easy having Natsume on my right, Jose on my left, and I'm in the middle feeling like I'm being cornered between two bodyguards. Sometimes I feel they treat me like I'm some prize.

Imagine being surrounded by two guys who has the same feelings towards you but one's your crush and the other is someone you barely even know. Not the best situation to be in.

"Lovely indeed Mikan-chan, if I can see your face all day." Jose flirted titling my chin upwards facing him. His violet orbs piercing through my hazel eyes, in fact they were beautiful indeed. His eyes reminded me of  the jewel Amethyst, while Natsume eyes burns with the color ruby.

Natsume had a tck mark, slapping Jose's hand away from my chin pulling me closer to his body. His chin rested on my head, his arm wrapped around my waist and his ruby eyes burning glares at Jose. I couldn't help but feel safe in his  arms.

"Touch her again if you want your hand into ashes." Natsume threaten bringing out his fire on his palm meaning every word of it. It was cute to see Natsume like this, protective and cute in the same time.

Hotaru and Ruka sensed behind them a  dark aura between Natsume and Jose, deciding to find out what's happening.

"Go ahead, I dare you." Jose glared, his eyes cold as ice, returning the same glare of Natsume.

"Your funeral." Natsume commented throwing fire balls after fire balls at Jose, meaning to kill him. Jose smirked at the fire balls, jumping and throwing water at each of it, turning it into steam.

My eyes widen. "A water alice?"

"Nice try fire boy." Jose stuck his tongue out, enjoying the pissed off look of Natsume. Natsume clenched his fist, surrounding fire around Jose's legs trying one more time but it was useless. One more time Jose turned the fire into steam by his water Alice. "If you can't even defeat me, how would you protect Mikan-chan."

"I don't need my fire to kick your ass, protect the one I love, or burn into hell. I'll use my body to answer those questions." Natsume quoted, while I tugged his sleeve, flashing him innocent eyes.

"Lets stop fighting...can you see we are attracting to much attention?" I asked him, wanted to prevent the teachers from seeing this outside of the campus. Natsume bit his lip, placing the fire away with Jose smirking.

"Sorry Fire boy, being told off by a girl," He laughed while Natsume rolled his eyes, burning Jose's hands in the process. "Ow." Jose pouted pulling his hand away, rubbing the burn spot on his smooth skin glaring at Natsume.

I sighed. "Guys....let's stop please."

"Yes Natsume, lets go ahead of the rest. No need to sweat over her." Luna interrupted clinging on Natsume's arm, pulling him away from me while I roll my eyes. I forgot she was still there, that explains the glares I felt burning on my back.

Natsume looked annoy for a second, and looked back at me who was walking ahead with Hotaru and Ruka. I sighed "Yep...this is the perfect date I dreamt of."

"Oi Polka dots." Natsume voice was heard behind me, pushing Luna out of his arm, following after me. I speeded up my movement ignoring him, I'm done being the one used as a prize. "Oi!! Wait up!!"

Hotaru smirked "Seems like Baka can play hard to get."

"Hotaru." Ruka sweat drop.

"Hey stop bothering Mikan-chan!!!" Jose yelled running behind me and blocking Natsume's way. Now I have a French freak annoying me.
