Maye Uchiha: Your lucky that I put your response here because the minute I updated this, I saw your review for the last chapter. Yes, some parts of the chaptes came directly from the manga. I take it you never read it yet before and some other people hasn't, so in order for them to not get confused, I had to copy it from the manga. Please refer to the Q&A below and thank you for reviewing.

Hotaru smirked. She got that on her camera.

"You're evil Imai," Ruka whispered.

"I know," she replied. "Mikan was robbed by Natsume of 2 items, one is underwear, and two is lips kiss."

"It's not a kiss!" Mikan wailed. "It's just my teeth hitting his mouth!!!"

Hotaru grabbed a list and a marker out of nowhere.

"Alright," she said. She crossed out lips kiss and put tooth kiss.

"TOOTH KISS!?" Mikan shouted. "What the heck is a tooth kiss!?"

"Shut up," Hotaru simply said. She pulled out the ugly mask her onii-san gave her and put it on. She then walked towards the dancing crowd looking for someone.

Mikan grabbed Natsume who was almost out of her sight by the collar of his shirt.

"That was not a kiss. We did not kiss!!!" she yelled to him.

Natsume just stared, raised an eyebrow, and look at her emotionlessly.

"Sakura-san?" a girl voice called out.

Both Natsume and Mikan turn towards a cat-dog eared Sumire who took off her mask.

"Could you repeat what you said???" Sumire looks like she was about to kill her. "Did you say, kiss??? kizu??? kisu??? SAY SOMETHING!!!"

Mikan let go of Natsume and ran towards Kitsuneme and his brother Kokoroyomi. She looks frightened.

"Medusa..." Kitsuneme and Kokoroyomi said pointing to Sumire.

After 10 minutes of the rumors spreading about Mikan's and Natsume's "tooth kiss", Narumi called out to her.

"Mikan-chan," he said patting Mikan's head. "It's almost time for your performance, are you ready yet?"

Mikan shook her head. "Can you give me a few minutes?"

Narumi nodded and walked away.

Back to Hotaru, it seems she was dancing with her brother, or more like foot stomping each other.

Yuu and their friends just sweat drop at the scene.

"Are they even dancing?" one of the guys asked.

"That's not dancing!!!" some boy exclaimed. "They are more like foot stomping on each other!"

There was a sudden dark aura surrounding both Hotaru and Subaru. Everyone around them moved at least 5 feet away from them, not wanting to be involved into their fiery battle.

Back to Mikan

Mikan sighed and began to walk towards the Christmas tree. She climbed up one of the branches and stopped. She saw the person she less expected to see.

"Na...Natsume?" she said in disbelief.

Natsume looked at her in surprise then just looked away.

Mikan fully climbed up the branch and sat next to Natsume.

"That was so annoying, Natsume!" she whined.

"Hm, you are so stupid, polka-dots," he replied. He was getting annoyed with her whining and he wanted to do something to shut her up.

"What are you talking about!?"

"About the stupid kissing in public, it's not like everyone thinks we are officially a couple,"

"..."

Natsume turned towards her. "That's why I said, you are so stupid."

'Why...' Mikan thought. 'Why does every time Natsume makes me angry, he will also make me forget about my worries...'

Mikan looked down at the view and smiled. Natsume just stared at her wondering why she was smiling.

'This girl,' he thought. 'She is an idiot, but somehow, even the darkest person on Earth will lighten up a bit if she's there to smile for him.'

"Oi baka," he said, totally ruining the moment between them. What a moment breaker. "Did you forget that you were angry at me?"

Mikan almost fell out of the branch if it wasn't for her hands gripping on it.

"Will you quit that?" she asked softly. "It doesn't matter anymore, what ever happens, you can't go back in time to stop it from changing,"

Silence.

"Wow polka-dots, I didn't know you knew some deep words," Natsume teased.

"Oh shut up Natsume!" Mikan snapped.

Natsume just chuckled.

Mikan gasped and turned her head towards Natsume. She looked at him in disbelief when she saw him chuckling. Natsume stopped and looked at her, their faces were only 5 inches apart.

"What?"

Mikan smiled.

"You should laugh and smile more, Natsume."

Natsume rolled his eyes.

"You should go down now,"

"Why?"

"Have you forgotten you have a performance to perform?"

"How did---"

"I have my connections,"

Mikan just shook her head. She was about to jump down but a hand was on her shoulder. She looked at Natsume who had his bangs covering his eyes once more.

"Natsume?"

"Mikan..."

Her eyes widened. He said her name again. She was about to ask what was wrong but was stopped. Natsume began to learn towards her. Mikan froze. She couldn't move her body, heck not even a finger. When Natsume was a few centimeters away from Mikan, he closes the gap between them and kissed her.

Kissed her.

Right there.

Under the Christmas tree.

On Christmas day.

"Nat..." she tried to call out his name but her mouth was sealed by Natsume's lips. "sume..."

She felt his hand off her shoulder and felt it gripping on her collar. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, ignoring the crimson color that forms on her cheeks. Her hand unconsciously gripped onto Natsume's glove which was gripping her collar, but he wasn't choking her to death, hell no. Both just stayed under the Christmas tree, their lips never left each other. Only Natsume just deepen it. Unfortunately, they both need this horrible thing that you must have in order to live called air so they had to separate. Mikan remember that she had a firm grip on Natsume's hand, she let go and blushed, panting slightly.

"W-What was that for, Natsume?"

"That," Natsume pointed out. "Is for many reasons idiot,"

Mikan put one of her hand to her heart; she can feel it pumping rapidly. She tilts her head to the side while looking at Natsume, innocently.

"The many reasons are...?"

"One, my Christmas gift to you, two, you said back there that it wasn't a kiss, so there, that's a kiss, and three because you wouldn't shut up,"

Mikan blushed at his two reasons but suddenly glare at him for the last reason. She forgot all her worries when she felt his hand holding onto hers.

"Come on polka-dots, have you forgotten about your stupid performance?"

He let go of her hand and suddenly stood up. He picked up Mikan who was caught off guard bridal-style and jump off the tree. He then put her gently on the floor and let go of her. Mikan was silently cursing at the slightly amused Natsume for catching her off guard.

"Hn,"

Natsume began to walk away, with his hands shove into his pockets.

"Natsume-kun..."

"Mikan-chan!"

"Iinchou!" she called. "Can you do me a favor?"

Yuu stopped and looked at her. "Sure, what is it?"

Mikan leaned in and whispered to the favor in his ear. Yuu smiled and nodded.

"Thank you Iinchou!" Mikan hugged Yuu; he just laughed and hugs her back.

5 Minutes Later

"Are you nervous Mikan-chan?" Narumi asked, patting the brunette's back.

"Iie," Mikan replied shaking her head. "I have rehearsed to myself in my room so I am half fine. But what I didn't rehearse is the illusion that will be showing,"

"Don't worry Mikan-chan," Narumi cheered. "It will be fine, now go out there! The whole school population is waiting!"

Mikan gulped when he said whole school population but nodded. She was about to pass the curtains that were attached to the stage that the high school students built after they help decorate the tree until she heard her name called. Her eyes lazily rolled to her left to see Yuu smiling, his hands clasped together waiting to cast the illusion.

"Good luck!"

"Arigatou Iinchou," Mikan smiled. "Good luck to you too!"

Mikan was given one of those headphones which had a little microphone you can talk into. She didn't really like holding microphones anyways, being clumsy as she is, she might as well drop one in the middle of her performance. One of the high school students put it on for her and gave her a reassuring smile. Mikan took a deep breathe and nodded at Yuu and the so called director.

"What's taking so long?"

"Shh, I think it's about to start!"

"It better be worth my time..."

All the lights in the ball room began to shut off, leaving some students frightened and most students with an I-don't-give-a-shit-if-it's-dark look. Suddenly they could hear soft music playing and light began to shine brightly on the stage.

(A/N: The lyrics have changed. No I did make them. DarkMagicianLover from YouTube did. I can use her lyrics as long as I say she made them. You might as well listen to it to understand the illusions Yuu is creating.

If it doesn't work for you, then go to YouTube and search for "Eternal Snow English" and choose the 1st option that says "Eternal Snow English Fandub". Remember, bold format are song lyrics, and regular format is the story.)

I've fallen in love with you,

How long has it been since this began?

A cherry blossom tree suddenly appears in the middle of the stage, with its cherry blossoms flowing across the stage. Mikan slowly appeared from behind the tree with one hand on the tree, and one hand next to her heart.

Will these feelings do nothing but swell,

Or will you notice them?

Even though I've never said a word

About these feelings I have for you

She let go of the tree and slowly sat down with her eyes closed but she still had her hand on her chest.

Will you know that I need you here with me?

Without you, I can't go on

Mikan slowly opened her eyes; her gaze was set upon a certain person who was slightly surprised at her start of her performance. She suddenly smiled. The audience stared at her in awe.

Like snow, quietly

It piles up inside of me

Until I cannot breathe;

I need you here with me

The cherry blossoms began to disappear and its replacement was tiny snowflakes. The tree was as well covered with snow. Mikan stood up and walked 2 feet away from the tree, hugging herself tightly as if she was really standing in the cold.

Hold me tight

If this is how it feels

To fall in love

She began to sway left and right while she still hugs herself.

If it's so painful and eternal I

Don't wanna know this feeling, but

I love you

Snow was falling everywhere, not only on the stage but on the audience as well. They began to touch it to see if it was real but to their dismay it wasn't. Natsume just stared at the brunette as if he hadn't seen her for a long time. Mikan suddenly broke down with tears streaming off from her eyes as her grip on herself was loosening.

I can't stop my tears from falling

If this is how I'm going to feel

You should have never come into my life

Tears from the young audience began to form, threatening to fall. It looks like they were going to cry except for certain emotionless people but you couldn't miss their surprise look. Mikan slowly stood up, her eyes shone with sadness and her hands with clasped together while her eyes were closed. In simple words, she looks like she was praying.

How long will I keep thinking of

These painful memories I have of you?

More illusions came behind Mikan. It looks like she was standing in the middle of a crowd who were looking at her in sympathy. She pushed herself away from the crowd began walking towards the Cherry Blossom tree. She sat down and looks up, as if she was waiting for something...or someone...

I can't remember

how long I've been sitting here waiting for you

The audience became more teary-eyed. Mikan pulled out a silver heart-shaped locket that was tied around her neck and stare at it. Natsume recognize the locket she was holding in her hands. It was the same locket he gave her a few days ago, saying it was an early Christmas and birthday gift. A small smile began to form on our fire caster's face.

This love I have is like an eternal snow

Even the sun, can't keep me warm

I'm frozen without your love

It seems that the fake snow began to multiply one by one. The light that was there to support Mikan's performance began to get duller and duller. Tears flow from Mikan's eyes and she wrapped her arms around her once more, shivering from the cold.

Hold me tight

So tight that I cannot breathe

A figure began to form behind the Sakura tree. It seems like it was the form of a certain raven-haired boy. The audience didn't notice but Hotaru, Ruka, and Natsume did. Natsume began to smirk. The figure stood to the side of Mikan, and just like the real Natsume, the shadow had his hands shove in his pockets. Mikan looked at Yuu for a second confused but she shrugged it off. She stood up, staring at the shadow. It walked towards her and embraced her.

If we meet in a biting cold blizzard storm

with you I won't feel cold at all

Mikan closed her eyes; soon the light that was supporting her began to brighten up. Even the snow was fading away into a pure bliss. The shadow suddenly poof leaving a crimson scarf in Mikan's hands.

I miss you every time I think of you

This scarf that I knit for you babe

I'm holding it alone in my arms tonight

She once again broke down and cried, holding onto the scarf as if it was the key to her life.

If there is an eternal falling snow

Will it cover up these feelings I have for you?

Will it take the pain away?

The light began to fade away once more and a never ending snow began to fall. Mikan was covering her mouth while the other hand gripped on the scarf. Tears dripped onto the scarf. Suddenly, two pure white wings began to form behind Mikan's back, catching the audience off guard. They stare at her in awe, admiring her looks. Even guys her age or older winked at her, Natsume notice and was silently fuming. Was he jealous? Maybe.

Hold me tight

If this is how it feels

Natsume's shadow once again reappeared. Only this time, he was behind the sobbing angel. He began to embrace her from behind as if it was the only thing he can do. For an illusion, the shadow pretty much acts like the original person.

To fall in love

If it's so painful and eternal I

Don't wanna know this feeling, but

I love you

The figure began to stand up and walk away from Mikan. Mikan too stood up, looking at the shadow's retreating figure. The wind suddenly blew past her, her hair and the feathers of her wings flowing against it. Her tears were dried up but the crimson scarf was still in her arms, like she was carrying a baby.

I just can't stop thinking of you

Without you here, I cannot survive

I need to have you with me,

So come to me now

Her head was bent down with her bangs covering her eyes, despite the wind. The snow was getting thicker and the light was getting dimmer. She then pretended to faint, her wings were spread and as well as her hair.

Hold me tight

I love you

The light disappeared. Then, the light from the chandelier that was hanging across the ceiling of the ball room was lit up. The audience saw Mikan standing up with a smiling face on.

"Thank you for watching!" she exclaimed. "I hope you liked it!"

"Like it!? We love it!"

"That was so beautiful!"

"Kyaaa! I couldn't stop from crying!"

Mikan laughed. She didn't know her performance will be a big success.

"Thank you," she said. She paused for a moment. "But half of this credit goes to Yuu Tobito!"

Everyone but Natsume cheered for Yuu. He appeared from the curtain, slightly embarrassed at all of the attention he is getting.

"Arigatou, Mikan-chan," he said.

Mikan grinned.

"The Christmas ball is almost over!" one of the principles announced. "To end this nicely, we are going to let all of you dance once more! But, you don't have to wear a mask,"

Everyone cheered.

Mikan jumped off the stage, dusting off the imaginary dust off of her dress.

"That was awesome Mikan-chan!" Nonoko and Anna squealed.

"Arigatou,"

"Glad I videotaped everything," Hotaru said, holding out a video camera. "I will make millions with this,"

Mikan just nervously laughed.

"You were great too Yuu!" Anna and Nonoko complimented.

"Heh, thanks," Yuu scratched the back of his head, with a tint of blush on his cheeks. He wasn't used to having attention.

"Let's dance!" Nonoko exclaimed. "To treasure this event!"

"I agree," Sumire said who came with Mochu. "Also, that was very beautiful Sakura-san, you had me teary-eyed."

Mikan just flashed them a smile.

"Glad you all enjoyed it,"

"That's nice to hear, even Natsume was amazed," Ruka joked. Youichi was in Hotaru's arms looking at the group with interest.

Natsume glared at his best friend and softly punched him on the shoulders.

"Ah," Youichi softly said.

"Did you enjoy it too Youichi?" Mikan asked. Youichi just nodded.

Mikan was very happy. Not only did she had a successful performance, but she also had a great time with her friends, despite she had to clean up because of the deal Bear and she had. Speaking of Bear where was he? Some say he was in some corner watching Mikan with amusement. He was even holding onto a picture of Kaname and himself that Mikan gave him before.

"You should sing more," Tsubasa teased. He had his arms wrapped around his childhood friend, Misaki. Mikan blushed and nodded.

"Wonderful voice," Misaki complimented, ruffling Mikan's hair softly making sure she doesn't ruin it.

"Let's dance!" yelled Anna.

Nonoko dragged Kokoroyomi, Anna dragged Yuu, Hotaru dragged Ruka with Youichi in her arms, Misaki dragged Tsubasa, and Sumire dragged Mochu. That only left Natsume with Mikan.

"Come on Natsume," Mikan took his hand and dragged him to the dance floor as well. "Oh yea, what Ruka said, did you really like my performance?"

Natsume put his hands around Mikan's waist while she had her arms around his neck. Their foreheads were pressed together while they stare deeply at each other.

"Yea..." Natsume paused for a moment. "But what was the shadow for? And why did it look like me?"

Mikan blushed a little. "I-I don't know m-myself either,"

Natsume smirked. His gripped around her waist tightened.

"Are you sure?" he asked huskily.

Mikan just gulped. Did someone replace her mean Kuro Neko or something? She nodded her head slowly.

Natsume chuckled. He pressed his lips against hers while the two dance the night together. Hotaru and Ruka looked at each other and smiled at the couple.

"Don't they look cute together?" she whispered.

"Absolutely,"

Ruka wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. Hotaru blushed a little but returned the embrace.

"They aren't the only ones who will have a happy ending," he said. He gave Hotaru a smile and the two danced the night away, just like Natsume and Mikan. Youichi danced with Bear as well, despite that Bear didn't want to but gave Youichi a chance.

Say it.

No.

Come on, please, Natsume?

Do I have to?

Yes!

Fine.

Yay!

I love you, Mikan...

I love you too Natsume...

I know baka, I know...

A/N: THE END! ;D I hope you like it! The ending part with the italics part is a little extra. It is a conversation between Natsume and Mikan IF they were officially a couple and they confessed already. But they didn't in my story sadly. Seriously, have you EVER see Natsume going mushy and confess to Mikan in the manga? No way. So it won't happen...YET.

I plan to change the title from "Spending My Life With You" to "Spending Christmas With You". What do you think? I will change in two weeks from now, since I want other readers to finish this story before I change it. Now, here are some Q&A's that you MIGHT ask.

Q: Is there a sequel to this?

A: Yes! In fact, there will be LOTS of sequels. I plan to write GA fanfics on a special holiday as this one. So, you are expecting the sequel on New Year! The sequel to the sequel will never end until next Christmas, so rejoice!

Q: Are Mikan and Natsume ever going to confess?

A: Hm, maybe but not on this fanfiction.

Q: Hotaru and Ruka are going out now?

A: No. Not yet. But they do have feelings for each other!

Q: Ruka doesn't have a crush on Mikan anymore?

A: He still has a minor crush on her, but he thinks Natsume deserves her more.

Q: Why is that some of the chapters directly come from the manga?

A: Some people haven't read the manga yet, so I am giving them a brief sneak preview of it n.n. If you wish to not read it, then DON'T read it.

Q: Oh my gosh, Sumire likes MOCHU!?

A: Hm, not at the moment. She saw Hotaru dragging Ruka and she knows she will be burn of she drags Natsume, so yea...

Q: Didn't Narumi got curse by that black lady who doesn't like crows in the manga?

A: Nope, I want them ALL to have a happy beginning and a happy ending. Besides, I haven't read the missing chapters yet, so I don't know much about it.

Q: This story is too MUSHY!

A: Hey, that's not a question! But, yes it is, I can't make a chapter without a dash of romance in it!

Q: Oh my gosh, Natsume kissed her at the end!?

A: Duh, I know it's a little OOC but I can't help it...

Q: Did Ruka kissed Hotaru?

A: On the cheek, yes. On the lips, no. Remember in that flashback last chapter ago where Ruka asked Hotaru to dance with him? He kissed her on the cheek after that I believe.

Ok, I believe those are the last Q&A's that you might ask. If you still have a question, just put it in the review and I will answer it in a PM. I hope you guys enjoy and I hope to see you guys in the sequel! The sequel will be called "Spending A New Year With You" and will be posted on New Year's Day. It's kind of obvious. Sometimes, I take story request so PM me if you are interested, if I like the idea, then I will make it dedicating it to you n.n. But hurry, I only take ideas ONE at a time! I still have to update LOTS of stories!
