Continuing from Chapter 90, let us first refresh our memory with the story progression.
The souls of Mikan and friends had been exchanged and that this is how the current situation stands:

Soul // Body

Hotaru => Mikan
Sumire => Iinchou
Natsume => Ruka
Iinchou => Natsume
Ruka => Hotaru
Kokoroyomi => Sumire

Some explanations in the typing due to the soul exchanging: Natsume << physical appearance [Mikan] << soul within the body biggrin

OK! This chapter opens up with Luna's last conversation with Mikan [Hotaru] saying that she would lose someone precious in the near future through the gain of her new ALICE.

Shortly after Luna left, Bear [Mikan] saw Hotaru. She was running and shouting Hotaru's name. Little did she expect that Mikan [Hotaru] would hit her with her inventions.

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~~~~" cried Bear [Mikan] as she flew.
"Nothing...somehow..." said Mikan [Hotaru] before she went into a deep thought.

"Don't 'nothing-somehow'! I was punched away!!!!!!" cried Bear [Mikan] after she returned.

But when she saw Mikan [Hotaru]'s troubled face, she asked, "Hotaru, did anything happen?"

"Eh?" said Mikan [Hotaru] as Bear [Mikan] climbed her way up her body. (KAWAIIIIIIII~!!!!!)

"You looked weird," began Bear [Mikan] as she climbed up Mikan [Hotaru]'s body. "What happened Hotaru?" she continued as she touched Mikan [Hotaru]'s face. "Hotaru?" (KAWAIIIIIIIIIII EXPRESSION!!!!!)

Mikan [Hotaru] looked down at Bear [Mikan] and recalled what Luna had said to her earlier.

"Of course," said Luna. "There's a way to prevent it (from losing that precious someone). That is, you, Sakura-san, to sacrifice yourself by giving the rest of your time to the Principal."

"Ho~Ta~Ru~?" Bear [Mikan] continued.

"Don't kid with me," said Mikan [Hotaru].

Bear [Mikan] was confused but Mikan [Hotaru] added that she was fine.

In Hotaru's heart she was thinking about how Luna had hurt her with her words yet Mikan was able to remain strong and cheerful.. and how she had endured everything all by herself...

"Mikan.. i heard that it is tough to maintain a friendship if there is no care and concern between each other," said Mikan [Hotaru] suddenly.

Bear [Mikan] was shocked to hear that. She thought Hotaru was going to break away the tie between them, until she continued,

"I was lying. That was because, our bond is forever,no matter what happens..."

In Hotaru's heart, she was thinking about how long their relationship would be since the day Mikan came chasing after her.

"No matter how far apart we are," continued Mikan [Hotaru]

"Hotaru?" said Bear [Mikan].

Just then, something weird happened.

"Hotaru-chan, Mikan-chan!" shouted Sumire from afar.

"WHAT?! Shuffle again??!!!" said someone.

It appears that the souls in everyone's body had been shuffled once more and that Iinchou happened to be inside Sumire's body this time around while Mikan's soul was back to her own body, Kokoroyomi's soul back into his body and Hotaru's soul into Bear's (that's so cute!!!!!)

Sumire [Iinchou] then further explains that it seems that souls in each body would leave if that particular body is hurt or attacked suddenly (that was how Mikan and Hotaru's souls exchanged xD). And that, so as to let the body calm down, it would be best if Kokoroyomi and Mikan to stop searching for Bear to prevent getting hurt.

However so, Kokoroyomi says that he would want to be with Sumire [Iinchou] (That poor boy was shocked xD)
Mikan was 'heartbroken' (perhaps she thought she would have a partner to be with her xD) that she ran away. But was stopped by Sumire [Iinchou] saying that she had something to tell her about Natsume...


The scene pulls over to Natsume...


It seems to be that Ruka [Natsume] and Hotaru [Ruka] had gone through some souls exchange xD

Hotaru [Ruka] bumped into Ruka [Natsume] = Ruka being Ruka; Natsume in Hotaru.

Ruka thought Natsume had gone back to his original body so he left to look for Natsume (but Natsume was in Hotaru's body xDDD in a skirt!!!!)

Hotaru [Natsume] finally met his soul! It was in Bear... =.="

And, a historical battle broke out!

Of course! Natsume won ^0^/ (poor Hotaru-chan.. she had Bear in her body >0<~)

Natsume was alone by himself in deep thoughts...


A flashback...

"Wait up Natsume!" shouted Natsume [Iinchou], "Wait up,"

Ruka [Natsume] stopped and looked back to see Natsume [Iinchou] panting.

"I am sorry to ask about this.. but.. it could be my imagination.. but.. since just now, this body had been in this condition... Natsume, since when..?"

Ruka [Natsume] stared at him (KYAAAAAAA~ XD)

"Don't tell me you have been going on with this condition?" (<< i added some of the words to form a sentence that makes sense. The direct translation is like this,
"could it be always in this condition..?" f^.^)

"Wait up, Natsume!" continued Natsume [Iinchou]


The scene pulls back to Mikan and friends with Sumire [Iinchou] talking.


"At first i thought it was because the soul could not adapt to the new body... but in this Shoda's body.. i don't feel tough at all just by standing..."

Natsume, Mikan thought in her heart.

"I know that Natsume had been going to the hospital often, so i thought perhaps he is suffering from some illness..
but looking at his state recently.. i am quite worried.." continued Sumire [Iinchou].

In Mikan's heart, she was thinking about Natsume. As though he was trying to isolate himself from the rest...

"This thing..." continued Sumire [Iinchou].

"She's already gone," said Kokoroyomi. (LOLLLLLL XDDDDDD)

Mikan had run off to look for Natsume.

She finally found him sitting all by himself on the bench.

"Natsume...?" she called out.

Natsume looked at her and pretended that he was not him because it would be troublesome, he thought, after what had happened between Iinchou and him.

However, Mikan did not just walk away. She went and looked Natsume into his face and said,

"If you're not Natsume....could you be BEAR?!" said Mikan. "That eyes! You must be BEAR!"

Natsume was shocked to hear that! But he was even more shocked to have his hand handcuffed with Mikan's (apparently, she had prepared a pair of handcuffs just to catch bear.. Mikan-chan... T^T).

Mikan was overjoyed to have found Bear by herself!
Just as she was about to tell everyone about it, Natsume gave her a super scary glare that there was nothing Mikan could do.

At the same time....

Ruka spotted Bear [Hotaru]...

"Eh? Sakura, what happened? Did you get lost?" (Ruka-kun kyawaiiiiiiii xDDDD but erm, that shy expression of Ruka was snapped by Hotaru's hidden camera)


Back to our Mikan and Natsume~


Mikan was punched by Natsume on her head xD

"Say Bear.... let's go back to where everyone is...." cried Mikan (although she had caught Bear, it seemed like she was the one being caught). "I apologize for handcuffing you...>0<~"

Mikan then looked at Natsume with Natsume returning her look, and said,

"Bear... you are really like Natsume,"

"Come to think of it, the 2 of you are ex~~~~~~actly the same! Having the same mean look, quiet, bad feeling, violent and frustrating!"

Natsume clenched his fist upon hearing that.

"Seriously.. the part that i have no idea what the 2 of you are thinking about is the same..." added Mikan with a lonely look on her face.

"I can't help thinking that he likes me recently....seriously... what's with him! it's so complicating that i don't understand...i thought i was hated but i don't know what feelings to believe in anymore...my head is spinning... but even if i tell Bear, it's not gonna help anyway..."

Nevertheless, in Mikan's heart she felt relieved that she let that out.

"Natsume... where are you now....? where did you go...? that guy..."

Natsume showed a lonely expression and pressed his palm over Mikan's.
Mikan seemed to have understood something... or felt comforted...

This silence was broken by some students shouting Imai Hotaru had entered the Middle department school and that in her body seemed to be Bear's soul!

Both Mikan and Natsume were surprised!!

But then, Natsume had managed to uncuffed himself.

"Natsume," said Mikan. "You wouldn't tell me anything about you..."

In Mikan's heart, she thought about Natsume's ALICE type - taking away life.

"That was why i thought that way. But, you wouldn't go somewhere alone and leave me behind right..?" continued Mikan.

"Si~~~~~~lly! (he said BA~~~~~~~~~KA! xD)" began Natsume (HE FINALLY TALKED!), "I am not leaving,"

Mikan smiled behind him.

At this time, Narumi appeared...

"Narumi-sensei?!" said Mikan.
