~1000 Yen Romance~
In the middle of the night, a very bored brunette was staring at her computer screen, just randomly scrolling at 9gag, hoping to find something interesting to ease her boredom. Mind you, her boredom isn't easily satiated.
Now you're probably wondering who this brunette is, she's Mikan Yukihira, a childish 24 years old who lives alone at her apartment somewhere in the vicinity of Tokyo. She also works as a waitress in a restaurant near her apartment.
"Why am I finding it hard to sleep today? Usually, I fall asleep easily, what's so special about today?" Mikan thought frustratingly. She continued scrolling when she accidentally clicked an ad which led her to another website. She was about to close the website when a window popped out of her screen.
"Are you bored out of your mind? Why not try buying something randomly just for 1000 Yen," Mikan read out loud. Hmm, randomly buying something for 1000 Yen? Ha! Think you could fool me? Even though everybody calls me an idiot, I know for one this is a scam. Mikan thought as she closes the window.
She was about to continue browsing when another window popped out.
"Who knows maybe you'll win the once in a lifetime ticket to date the ever so famous, Natsume Hyuuga! PS. For those idiotic people who think this is a scam, think again. - H. Imai"
What the? Natsume Hyuuga? I don't even know who the guy is! This ad is so persistent! Mikan thought annoyingly while closing the window. When she closed the window, another window popped out almost immediately.
"This website is managed by Imai Inc. if you closed this window again; happily welcome a virus in your computer that is yet to counter by experts… If you don't believe it, close this window."
For some unknown reason, Mikan hesitated closing the window. Somehow, she knows the threat wasn't a bluff.
"Oh well, 1000 yen isn't a big deal," She sighed and clicked the link included in the pop out which made the popped out window automatically close.
"Welcome to Imai Inc.'s 1000 Yen of random things!" A computer automated voice boomed out, making Mikan shriek in surprise.
"Eeek!"
"All you need to do is deposit 1000 yen in this account, xxx-xxxx-xxxx, online, fill up the necessary form and expect a random item tomorrow. Thank you," The voice ended. Mikan stared at the screen hard before typing the necessary details and depositing 1000 yen on the account. After doing all of those, she let out a yawn.
"What do you know? I'm feeling sleepy now, might as well sleep or I'll be late again for work, wouldn't want to hear Jin-jin's sermons again," She said letting out another yawn and went to bed after turning off her computer.
"Man, I'm so tired!" Mikan said as she slumped down on her sofa. She just arrived from work. Jin-jin pushed her to the limits again. In case you're wondering, Jin-jin is Mikan's manager. As a manager, he was very strict with conducts of his employees. Well, he wasn't really strict except for Mikan, because she's always late for work.
"Stupid Jin-jin, making me work so hard today, he seriously has some issues," Mikan groaned while turning the Television on, hoping to find an interesting show like Spongebob Squarepants or Adventure Time. While she was searching for a good show, her door bell rang. Who's that? No one visits me at this time of the day, Mikan thought while walking towards her door.
"Good day to you, Madam! I'm Kokoroyomi or Koko for short! Are you Ms. Mikan Yukihira?" The spiky haired man named Koko greeted her with a wide smile on his face after she opened her door. She looked at him confusion written in her face.
"Yes?" Mikan said while smiling unsurely at the spiky haired man at her door.
"Umm, the random item you ordered has arrived, and I'm here to deliver it!" He chirped happily. Random item? Ordered? Mikan thought, bewildered.
"Yes, Ma'am random item from Imai Inc., apparently you deposited 1000 yen on our account," He continued noticing Mikan's lack of response. Wha! Is this guy a mind reader? Mikan thought shocked.
"No, I'm no mind reader ma'am," Koko answered while grinning.
"Wow so much for not being a mind reader! You just answered the question in my mind again," Mikan pouted at Koko. He chuckled at the childish antics of this customer.
"Well, Ma'am you just need to sign here and here, you'll get your random item," Koko said while handing her a sheet of paper and a pen.
"Are you sure this isn't some kind of scam? And where's my random item? I don't see you holding something," Mikan said jokingly while looking at him.
"No, ma'am! This is 100% legitimate! And your random item is here," Koko said, grabbing a letter size envelope from his pants pocket and handing it to her. Mikan signed the paper and gave it back to Koko. She was about to go inside her house to check the envelope when Koko said.
"Ma'am aren't you going to open your envelope?" He said while looking at the envelope.
"I am, but not out here, why are you so interested anyways?" she asked semi-glaring at Koko.
"It's just a hobby of mine to see what item the customer gets," Koko managed to gulp. She sighed before opening the envelope. Inside was a ticket like paper.
"Congratulations, You have just won a free date with one of the most sought after men in the country, Natsume Hyuuga," Mikan read aloud.
"Wow, aren't you lucky ma'am! The only ticket for a free date with Natsume Hyuuga and you got it!" Koko cheerfully said.
"Lucky? How am I lucky? I just spent 1000 yen for a ticket-date? And who is Natsume Hyuuga anyways?" Mikan confusingly stated. Come to think of it, I think I read that last night in those persistent ads, Mikan recalled. Koko looked at her as if she grew another head.
"What?" She asked tilting her head sideways which Koko found cute.
"Ma'am you don't know who Natsume Hyuuga is?" Koko asked genuinely shocked at this discovery. Usually, at the mere mention of the name Natsume Hyuuga, girls would squeal and chatter about how much of a god he is. For someone not to know Natsume Hyuuga, especially a girl... Is she a living caveman, I mean cavewoman? Koko thought incredulously.
"Nope, not a clue really," she replied while rubbing her head embarrassingly.
"Hehe, it's rare for someone, especially a girl not to know about the Natsume Hyuuga," Koko explained.
"Why? Is he some kind of celebrity I should know of?" Mikan muttered innocently.
"Ma'am, I would love to explain to you who Hyuuga-san is, but unfortunately I need to deliver other random items," Koko said apologetically.
"It's fine, I'll just google him or something," Mikan shrugged before bidding Koko a warm goodbye and returning to her apartment.
Natsume Hyuuga,
Age: 25 years old.
Birthday: November 27
Height: 6'2 ft.
Hobbies: Reading manga, breaking the hearts of women, eating strawberries (according to rumors not yet proven)
Raven hair and crimson eyes, the very image of Natsume Hyuuga. He is a very well known icon in Japan. At the tender age of 18, he handled his father's company the Hyuuga corp. and lead it to where it stands today, at the top. With him leading the Hyuuga Corp., every industries want to have partnership with him.
Some of the well known Industries that are in close ties with the Hyuuga Corp. are Imai Inc., Hijiri Industries and etc. His best friend is the well known veterinarian Ruka Nogi, who's the rumored boyfriend of the famous Hotaru Imai of Imai Inc,. He attended Gakuen Alice at the age of 8 and graduated as the class' best student of all time with 100 percent marks on all of his exams. He is truly a genius of the century.
The only downside to him is that according to sources he's awfully rude and a playboy. Rumors say he changes girlfriend per week, it's not really proven but we'll never know, a handsome bad boy like him is most likely to be like that.

So this is Natsume Hyuuga, I have to admit he is handsome, but he's probably some kind of an arrogant man who just cares about money, sex and popularity. I'd rather watch a movie myself than go with a date with him. Also, if he's the CEO or something of the famous Hyuuga Corp., why would he have time for something so trivial as this? Rich people just don't know what to do with their life anymore, Mikan thought as she looked at the ticket disgustedly.
But why do I feel like he's more to that? Looking at his picture, why can I sense that he's a lonely man beneath his cold exterior? Mikan sighed. Undecided whether she'll go or not.
"Our supposedly date is set tomorrow, should i go or not? Hmm, ahh might as well go, since I don't have any work tomorrow, I'll be bored to death at home," Mikan said as she put the ticket under her keyboard and played candy crush on her facebook.
"Hyuuga, what brings you to my office?" Hotaru Imai greeted nonchalantly.
"What's this supposed to be?" Natsume Hyuuga said as he threw the ticket in front of her.
"Don't know how to read now Hyuuga? I thought you're a genius," Hotaru mocked.
"Very funny Imai, who gave you the right to make me a prize in some random shit you do," He said menacingly.
"Correction, it's not a prize, it's randomly bought, and besides aren't you interested, that's the only ticket on this whole ordeal yet someone manage to get it, that person's very lucky or not" he glared at her.
"I don't give a damn, I'm not going," he snapped.
"Don't you dare try me, Hyuuga," Hotaru glared at Natsume. He glared back. As the two were glaring at each other, Hotaru's office door opened revealing a blonde man with a rabbit hanging on his shoulders.
"Whoa, Natsume, I didn't expect to see you here buddy, and why are you guys glaring at each other?" Ruka Nogi said as he looked at the two.
"Control this girlfriend of yours, Ruka, she fucking made me a prize in her random shit business," Natsume replied as he sat down the chair. Hotaru continued to glare at Natsume.
"What do you mean?" Ruka asked confusingly. Natsume took the ticket from Hotaru's office table and threw it to Ruka.
"Well isn't that interesting," Ruka cheerfully said after reading the contents. Hotaru smirked while Natsume glared at Ruka.
"How is that interesting? What if it's a fucking fan girl?" Natsume countered.
"If it is, Hotaru would make sure you're not going to be harrased, besides Natsume, I presume this ticket is limited to one only, so it wouldn't hurt to try," Ruka said calmly. Tch, trust Ruka to side with his girlfriend rather than his best friend, so much for being a best friend, Natsume thought begrudgingly.
"Are you really my best friend?" Natsume said while glaring at him.
"Of course, I am, my instincts told me to convince you to go to this somewhat blind date because something good will happen and you need to take a break every once in a while Natsume," Ruka said smiling while petting his pet rabbit.
"Just this once, Ruka, Just this once, if your instincts are wrong, be prepared," Natsume menacingly said. Ruka gulped.
"Okay, if you two are done with your bromance then, Hyuuga you know the way out," Hotaru calmly stated. Ruka blushed while Natsume just muttered a whatever before leaving the room.
"It's nothing like that Hotaru!" Ruka embarrassingly said.
"Whatever you say, Ruka, whatever you say," Hotaru said while smirking.
"Hotaru!"
Already back in his office, Natsume began doing his daily work. All the while thinking about his supposedly date tomorrow. Break huh? So going on a date with an unknown stranger is a break? I don't even know if it's a girl or not, I'll assume it's a girl, because I don't want to have disturbing thoughts while assuming otherwise, Natsume cringed at the thought of having a date with someone who is the same gender as him. He stopped signing the papers and stood up, looking at the scenery below from his window.
Clearly, he was misunderstood by people. In fact, all of his life, Natsume Hyuuga never had a girlfriend. It was just whenever a woman was seen with him in some parties the Hyuuga Corp. holds, the media assumes that the woman was his girlfriend, but in truth it was just his secretary. Now why is he seen as a playboy then? Natsume is a very workaholic man, and whenever he sees an employee slacking off one bit, he immediately fires them without an inch of hesistation, because of that he was feared in the company.
But even so, women still wants his attention. This just shows that they want his good looks and wealth, which was one of the reasons why Natsume Hyuuga never tried to enter in a relationship. Another reason was that it was too bothersome and all, with his work as the CEO of the Hyuuga Corp., for sure he'll have no time to pacify a girl. But then again, Ruka loved to proved him otherwise when he started dating Imai. Natsume let out a tired sigh.
Tomorrow's going to be a long day, I really do hope that it is a girl I'll be dealing with or I'll barge into Imai's office again, he thought closing his eyes for a moment before going back to his seat to continue his work.
Tomorrow came and a certain brunette was sleeping soundly at her bed, seeing as she has no work, she decided to slept till noon but then again, nothing ever goes right with whatever she plans.
Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!
"Sweet... mother of.. howalons," Mikan mumbled. She was currently dreaming about her favorite food, howalons.
Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!
"Mou! I have no work today, so whoever you are, leave me alone!" She screamed while blocking her ears with pillows, finally hearing the doorbells.
BANG!
She jolted up when she heard the explotion. What was that? She thought while going outside of her room to check what happened. When she did, she found her door broken. Oh my gosh, someone entered my house! She thought panicking.
"You finally went out," A monotonous voice said.
"AHHHHH! BURGLAR! INTRUDER! RAPI—"
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"Ouch!" Mikan said as she rubbed her head before looking up to see, that the intruder was a girl. A beautiful girl with short black hair and violet eyes staring at her emotionlessly. She gulped.
"Idiot, I'm not a burglar, intruder and most especially a rapist," The girl coldly said.
"Then who and what are you doing in my house? why'd you break my door! You could have just rang the doorbell," Mikan countered while looking at her sharply.
"First of all, I did that a lot of times but you never did answer, so I broke your door, I'll pay for the repair expenses, and secondly, I'm Hotaru Imai, lastly, you have a date with a very impatient man, Ms. Yukihara," She explained. Hotaru Imai? Imai sounds familiar... oh from the persitent ad! Date? OH YEAH! I won a ticket to a date with a man named Natsume Hyuuga, Mikan slowly recalled.
Holy fudge! I don't have anything to wear! Mikan thought not knowing she was saying it out loud. Hotaru sighed before explaining.
"Don't worry about anything Ms. Yukihira, we only need you to go with us and everything is going to be settled by Imai Inc.," she explained boredly.
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Really? Really?" Is this girl an idiot or what? Hotaru thought annoyed.
"Yes, now if you want to come with me in your childish pajamas then let's go," Hotaru said nonchalantly. Mikan blushed, embarrassed that a stranger saw her spongebob pajamas.
"I'll go change to something decent first, oh and by the way call me Mikan!" Mikan cheerfully said before going back to her room to change to something casual. Weird girl, Hotaru thought shaking her head while going outside of the apartment.
Golden coated walls with grand chandeliers hanged all over the place. A fountain in the center with carefully matched flowers around it. Different international clothing stores, restaurant that some of their names, Mikan was so sure she'd pronounce wrong. She couldn't help but be awed by it.
"Wow," Mikan gaped. Some people were looking at Mikan disapprovingly. Hotaru just rolled her eyes at the girl. Hotaru brought her to Crimson, a popular mall for rich people, owned by the Hyuugas.
"Are you sure you got the right girl?" Mikan asked Hotaru disbelievingly.
"You are Mikan Yukihira aren't you?" Mikan nodded.
"Then we got the correct one, now let's go we have a lot of work to do," Hotaru said while looking at Mikan from head to toe before dragging her to Midori's Paradise, a clothing line owned by the Shouda's.
"Fancy meeting you here Imai and?" a girl with permed hair greeted looking at Mikan, more like scrutinizing her, making Mikan gulp. What a dull looking girl, she thought.
"Mikan Yukihara, nice to meet you," Mikan introduced herself nervously. Yukihara? I never heard of that name? What is Hotaru doing with a lowlife like her? Sumire thought while looking at Mikan blankly.
"Sumire Shouda," Sumire replied bored.
"If you have time to idle around Shouda why not do your job properly and help me get her dressed," Hotaru said coldly.
"Dressed for what?"
"For her date with Hyuuga," Hotaru replied rolling her eyes.
"Her date with Hyuuga as in Natsume Hyuuga?! My Natsume Hyuuga?" Sumire shrieked.
"Who is she? Why does she have a date with Natsume? She's a nobody, I haven't heard of a surname Yukihara, and heck she even looks like a maid! What does Natsume see in her?" Sumire rambled and Hotaru was getting impatient. We all know that it's bad making Hotaru wait.
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"Ouch! Imai what was that for!" Sumire snapped while glaring at Hotaru glared back.
"For being an idiot now let's get her—" Hotaru looked around and found no Mikan insight.
"Where the hell did she go?"
