Hate Hate Love Chapter 1: Little Did They Know, a gakuen alice fanfic

Hate + Hate = Love

Disclaimer: Don't sue me because I don't own Gakuen Alice.

Author's Note: This is my new story. I was daydreaming one day and suddenly came up with this idea. I was laughing out loud as I develop the plot. So this is my first time writing a humour fiction. I'm not born funny and I don't think I'll ever be. But I like challenges and this is what I'm determined to do. So bear with me.

P/S: Wish me luck! And please do review and I'd appreciate all that you threw at me. Even flames. I'm honestly telling the truth. At least, just give me your real thoughts.

So R & R. By the way, note to self: Forgive me if I accidentally made some of the characters OOC. Well what do you expect from a 14 years old girl?

Enjoy :)

Chapter One: Little Did They Know

---------------------------------------------------------o

Natsume Hyuuga ruffled his messy raven locks. He was annoyed to the point where he could seriously kill the people around him, but restrained himself as he looked at his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Hyuuga were seated on the loveseat across from him, and ironically that title suit the chair very well. His parents were talking sweetly to each other, fingers intertwined. They looked like sick lovebirds. Were they always this lovey-dovey before?

He did a fake cough and the couple laughed nervously. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you there for a second, Natsu-chan." His mother smiled sheepishly. She knew more than anyone else that her son was not very good at being patient. This can be seen clearly by his irritated facial expression and his continuous foot-tapping.

He only grunted in response. "Hn, get to the point. Why did you call me for?" Natsume said. He was giving the 'no-nonsense' stare at both the elders in the room. "And don't call me Natsu-chan. It's annoying."

His father smirked. "Well, well…Natsu-chan." He teased his oldest son. "We wanted to talk to you…hn…about the topic you had so stubbornly avoided these past two months." Takashi Hyuuga was enjoying this moment to the fullest. "Your engagement, ring a bell?"

Natsume sighed. "I thought we agreed to let me choose my own future. And hell, I didn't even know this girl."

"Vice versa. And don't worry; I heard she's a good girl. Pretty too, might I add."

Natsume yet again ruffled his hair. "Pretty? I bet there's other prettier than her. And she would just be too eager to throw herself all over me."

Mr. Hyuuga turned serious just then. "Natsume, get to know other people! You're this anti-social freak and this is a big opportunity here." He was emphasizing the freak part, and yes again, he thought, he was enjoying this moment.

"Old man, I don't need a girlfriend. At least for now. I'm not turning gay." He protested.

They sat in silence for what seemed like eternity. They had this same conversation like what, two months now, and they knew it was pointless to argue any further. So, they just stiffly sat there, each with their own thought of how to make the engagement happen, well, for Natsume, he was thinking of how to turn the table around and do the counter-attack. He couldn't help but start a glaring contest between him and his father in the process.

Almost out of the blue, Ayaki Hyuuga snapped her finger, catching the two male Hyuugas' attention. She could visualize an imaginary light bulb illuminate over her head with a gentle 'ding' sound. "I just have the greatest idea ever. Why didn't I think of this before?" She clapped her hands like a little kid when they get over-excited. And right then and there, she was. "Let's make a deal."

Natsume rubbed his temple gently, taking in the idea. "Okay. That's a semi-not so bad idea. What you got?"

His parents looked at each other and as if they could read each others mind, they both said in unison. "Well, let's see. You're not allowed to call off the engagement, only she is allowed to."

Natsume grumpily replied, "Yeah figured, so the engagement is still on until she broke the ties? But then you'll have the upper hand." He waited for their response and received none. "If she's a fan girl like the others, she couldn't care less about my rudeness."

Mr. and Mrs. Hyuuga smirked. They had it all planned out well. But then, Natsume Hyuuga, isn't called a genius for nothing. A boyish grin tug at his lips as he voiced his thought. "Okay then, I agreed. But it's time to hear my side of the deal."

"Very well."

He raked his hair. "I say that this deal can be played out in a no-rule gesture. That means I get to cheat or something to get her off my back."

"That's no fair-" Mrs. Hyuuga stopped to a halt as a plan started to develop on her mind. "On second thought, I agreed. I heard Yuka's daughter is as stubborn as you are. Let's just see how it turns out." She smiled inwardly as she gave the lame excuse. But really, Yuka did say something about her daughter being stubborn and quite dense. And already, she thought her future daughter-in-law is one cute girl.

Natsume shrugged as he stood up. "Suit yourself." He being the one too observant, could clearly see through his mother's plan. Well, just a tiny bit of it. Okay…He only knew that she had a plan up her sleeve but no way in hell, would he let his mother win the war. He, also being one of the cockiest guys on Earth, was sure that his plan didn't have any downside. He couldn't see any fatal flaw in his own plan. Yet.

As he was about to leave, his father said, "Oi Natsume. You had a date tomorrow with your fiancée. I'll give the details to you later." And yes, Takashi Hyuuga was yet again enjoying himself with his son's misery. Don't ask why. They have a weird father-son bond. Even I couldn't understand sometimes. And I'm the author here.

"Tch. See ya later old man."

When Natsume was out of earshot, Mr. Hyuuga kissed his wife on the forehead. "Now what are you up to, my dear?"

Ayaki Hyuuga just gave the Hyuuga trademark facial expression. The smirk. "Just wait and see. Just wait and see."

"Yuka, my friend, how's it going?" Ayaki Hyuuga greeted her childhood friend. A beautiful smile graced her features. Just like Natsume, she has a pair of tantalizing crimson orbs but her hair colour is a little lighter than black. Dark grey, if you must.

The two friends were seated at a booth in one of the café in Tokyo. Being friends since middle school days, they were like best buddies. No wonder their children were engaged since birth, with disapproval from both sides, of course. That last part was none too crucial for them. They were sure that their children will like each other instantly upon meeting. Yup, you guessed correctly, Natsume and his fiancée never met one another.

"So. How did Natsume take it?" She said while munching her Chocolate cake. "I have to say that you look like you're up to something."

And with that, the Hyuuga ranted about every single thing in the earlier conversation with the male Hyuugas. Not missing out any details, mostly about her husband's manliness. Which is absolutely out of topic, but Yuka being Yuka was used to Ayaki's childish behaviour. Natsume hardly resembled Ayaki on manners and attitude. But he is a decent boy and was suited enough to be her future son-in-law. She already met him on a few occasions.

"So now that you know, I have a favour to ask." Ayaki said with smiling eyes. Without waiting for a reply she went on. "I heard about Mikan's reaction. I'm surprised you told her only yesterday. Anyway, she is stubborn as Natsume, really. This is it. The plan is to make the same deal out of her."

Indeed, Mikan Sakura is a stubborn girl. Her daughter hasn't been in a good mood lately, what with her undesired engagement and her father being away for a week. "That sounds like a good idea. Heck. You're a genius. That way they'll both have to not end the engagement and finally fall in love." They both sighed dreamily, thinking about how they first met their own true love.

"Hotaru, I'm telling you this. I'm annoyed to death." Mikan spoke into the phone.

"You baka, why am I even listening to your complaints?"

She sighed. "Because you're my best friend for life, no, scratch that, for forever. So you better damn listen to my rants, freak."

"Okay, so I'm listening!"

"Why would my mom engage me to some stranger that I never even met, was yet a question to ask? I was an infant at that time, so of course, I couldn't protest. If I was as old as I am now then I could scream my disapproval right then and there." She was surprised that she could say all that in one breath. Anger could do that to you. She waited patiently for her friend's supposed-to-be comforting reply. Instead…

"Well, you were protesting by pooing and crying all you want back at those years." She said that as a matter-of-factly. "And you surprised me by saying you're old as you are now. I'm glad you finally admit it, Old lady."

"Hotaru. Not helping." She stomped her foot to emphasize her irritation.

"Just go to the date. Maybe he'll turn out a decent guy. Who is he anyway?"

She tapped her chin. "My mom told me yesterday that his name is Hyuuga. Yeah, Natsume Hyuuga." Somehow, Mikan felt at ease saying his name. It rolled off her tongue perfectly.

"He's THE Natsume Hyuuga. Mikan, you've got to be kidding me." But she still sounded emotionless, which I found weird.

"What's wrong with him?" Mikan asked, confused.

"He's the number one most-wanted-bachelor of the century. I don't know why, but he… somehow hated the attention and couldn't care less about wanting to date just any girl."

"Why did you sound like you just click into fan-girl mode?" Mikan sweat-dropped. This was a creepy side of Hotaru that she has yet to encounter.

"No. I was not. I'm thinking of all the cash I'll get if I took photos of him than just you. It'll sell like hot cakes, I swear. And since he's engaged to you then…" Hotaru let the rest wandered into Mikan's over-active imagination. What's making it even more dreadful was the fact that Hotaru had been using her calm tone all the while of this conversation. Creepy.

After 10 more minutes, they have ended the call. Mikan walked out into the living room and halfway met her mother. "Hi mom."

Yuka gestured for Mikan to follow her. She needed to convince Mikan into accepting the engagement. As they made themselves comfortable on the couch, she started to explain. "Mikan…."

And so, after 20 minutes or so, Yuka have finished talking about the deal. Mikan was excited by the sudden turn of event. She hugged her mom and said, "Yay. I'll make sure I annoy the hell out of this guy." Upon that, Yuka gave her a menacing glare. "Oh mom, you know I love you."

A smile graced her face. And she ushered Mikan to go to bed already since it was already ten to eleven. "Night."

Mikan walked back to her bedroom and had called Hotaru to talk to her briefly about Yuka's offer. And soon, she was trying to sleep, shrugging off her excitement, with only one thing in mind. She needed to find a way to make Hyuuga hate her and call off the engagement. Little did she know, that he was thinking of the same thing as he lay on his bed that night. And needless to say, we all know from the beginning that these plans will backfire.

And tomorrow will be the first day of their futile attempts. What will take place next, they didn't know?

Is it a full-blown war?

Is it just a small battle that has no significant whatsoever?

"Bring it on, Hyuuga."

"Bring it on, Sakura."

Or is it just another start of a love story?

Author's Note:

Wow. I just wrote this today and I still can't believe that I finished this in an hour. Usually it takes me ages (Okay, maybe two weeks) to convince myself to just upload the chapter already after proof-reading it. Maybe it's because I was in such a bad mood today that I decided to just get on with it already. But I'm okay now. Hey, I noticed that the title said 'Hate Hate Love' but it's actually, 'Hate + Hate = Love'. Stupid plus and equal signs refused to cooperate with me. Damn.

P/S: Anyway, please review if you want to make my day. I'm slightly in a good/bad mood.

Yours till the paper cut,
