Dream Prince
Chapter 1
"Natsume, you will be okay, won't you? You'll be back?" Natsume's mother asked.
"Yes, I will," Natsume replied.
"Onii-chan!" Aoi, Natsume's little sister, called.
"What do you want?" Natsume grunted.
"Hold out your hand," Aoi said.
Natsume obeyed. The next thing he knew, a necklace with a red gem on it was on his palm.
"When it shine, it means the girl of your dreams is nearby," Aoi said, "It's up to you to believe in it."
"Right Aoi," Natsume said, sarcastically.
"You're coming back with my new sister-in-law, right onii-chan?" Aoi asked.
Natsume just ignored her.
"Hurry up, Natsume-kun. The portal's closing," Natsume's mom said.
"I'll see you, onii-chan," Aoi said.
Natsume stepped into the portal.
Hello mortal world.
Mikan Sakura, who was 17 years old, was working on her truckload of homework.
"Mikan-chan! Phone call!" Yuka, Mikan's mother announced.
"Okaa-chan, I'm busy," Mikan replied. "Stupid midterms," She muttered under her breath.
Mikan drank some cappucino from the cup beside her.
"Mikan-chan, get some rest. You'll be more likely to fail midterms that way," Yuka said.
"Okaa-chan..." Mikan said.
"I'll help you finish it okay?" Yuka offered.
"Arigatou!!" Mikan screamed and then hugged her mother.
"It's a mystery that you don't join the pep squad," Yuka said, "You were even elected captain this year...and you quit."
"I'm too busy to be all pom-poms and scream all those stupid cheers," Mikan said.
"Oh dear; is that the only reason why you quit the squad?" Yuka asked.
"It wasn't me," Mikan replied.
"Sure, you had an injury but Mikan, it's completely healed now. You could join the squad again, you know," Yuka stated.
"I find cheerleading boring. Could we stop talking about this?" Mikan said.
"Okay. Oyasumi, Mikan-chan," Yuka said.
"Oyasumi," Mikan said.
Natsume had arrived and it was clearly raining hard. His clothes were wet. He was still warm but he definitely got pissed off because of the endless rain. He looked around and saw that there were a bunch of houses, but he didn't know which one to enter. He entered the one in front of him, but before that, he knocked on the door.
"Coming," Yuka said.
Yuka opened the door to see Natsume and his dripping clothes.
"Can I stay over for the night?" Natsume asked.
"Sure. You look like you could use a bath before everything else though," Yuka replied, "Follow me. I'll show you to the guest room."
Natsume followed Yuka to the guest room,which happened to be the room next to Mikan's. Mikan was sound asleep.
"Whose room is beside mine?" Natsume asked.
"My daughter's. Her name is Mikan. I am Yuka, by the way. What's your name?" Yuka asked.
"Natsume Hyuuga," Natsume replied.
"If you need anything from me, you could always ask me. My room's the one across yours," Yuka said, "The bathroom's at the end of the corridor. May I ask one thing, Natsume-kun?" Yuka asked.
"Sure," Natsume replied.
"Will you be staying for long?" Yuka asked.
"Maybe," Natsume replied.
"Well, good night, Natsume-kun," Yuka said.
"Good night," Natsume said.
Natsume got his towel and saw the bathroom. He liked the house fine. It was small and quite cozy. Yuka was definitely a kind person. All he needed to find out was who Mikan Sakura was, and why the necklace glowed strongly in front of her room's door.
