Hi everyone! Mikan and Natsume is my most favorite EVER couple in the whole entire world! This is my second fic, I don't know how I came up with this idea and all but I have read a lot of fan fics and got all of my inspiration, ideas and descriptive language from them. So I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1 – Meeting

It was an early morning in February in Japan. In a big city called Tokyo, there was a big house which held loads of apartments. Not too shabby really, the apartments were more like condo's. Apartment 13 is were we are looking…

Inside apartment No. 13 lived a beautiful but a lonely girl. She has never met her parents and all her life she lived with her grandfather, until he died last year… This girl was named Sakura Mikan. She was only 17, still young. And even though she suffered loneliness, she still enjoyed life.

She didn't exactly live alone. She lived with her dog, Koko. Koko was a very smart dog, Mikan's perfect companion. Koko was a beagle, quite small in size but to Mikan, he was the best dog anybody could ever have… He was white, decorated with brown and black patches, with a cute set of puppy-dog eyes.

Mikan had long, beautiful and silky hair that reached her waist, gorgeous chocolate eyes and pink cherry lips and soft creamy skin. Her body was one of a model. Curvy and slim. To sum it all up, she's beautiful…

Inside No. 13

Our heroine was in bed sleeping peacefully. Her room was quite big and spacious with a delicious tangerine smell. The walls were white with orange stripes, her bed, wardrobe, bed tables and desk were all made from strong oak wood and painted white. The window was hidden behind the soft, sunset colored curtains. Mikan was sleeping on orange bed sheets, her slim body covered with an orange blanket and her head was resting on a soft, orange pillow. Her wardrobe was also quite big, fitting a lot of clothes in it. The doors were covered with big mirrors and near it stood a desk. On top of the desk was a laptop and near it was a vase which held 6 daffodils in it, and near the vase were some other books and writing supplies. In front of the orange sofa was a plasma screen TV, hanged on the wall. On the light, wooden floor lay a cute, tangerine shaped fluffy carpet. On the bed side table stood a digital clock which showed, in big, red numbers that it was now, 6AM.

-RING!-

The loud ringing of the alarm clock echoed through the orange room until a slender hand softly pressed the snooze button and the loud ringing stopped. Once it stopped ringing, Mikan sat up in her bed and yawned, stretching her hands up. She was dressed in a cute yellow tank top that had a picture of a white sheep and white shorts. She got out of her bed and stretched her arms up again while making her way to the bathroom which was connected to her room. She got inside and closed the door and started on her morning routines. First she brushed her teeth and washed her face and then took a short shower and blow dried her hair after it. Clad in an orange towel, she got out of the bathroom and set her eyes 

on the alarm clock which read 6:35AM. She smiled at her perfect timing and walked out her room to the kitchen, humming a sweet melody.

The kitchen and the living room was like a one big room so after making herself a delicious breakfast which consisted 3 pancakes that were soaked in maple sauce. As she carried her plate of pancakes, she had a glass of fresh orange juice in her other hand. She walked to the living room and sat on the ground, setting her food on the coffee table. She looked around for the remote control and found it on the coach. Once she got it, she turned on the TV to her favorite channel, MTV. As she listening to random songs and ate her breakfast, she spaced out and was a bit startled when she felt something furry touch her leg. Why of course, it was no other than Koko! She looked down and smiled happily while petting Koko's head and Koko wagged his tail to show Mikan he's happy to see her too.

After 5 minutes, Mikan finished her food and left the dishes in the sink. She went over to the TV and got the remote, turning the TV off. She made her way back to her room and grabbed her brush that was resting on her bed table and then stood in front of her wardrobe mirrors. She started to comb her pretty caramel hair and looking straight into the eyes of her reflection. Once she was done, she set the brush back down on the bed table and opened the doors to her wardrobe, looking over her clothes and thinking of what she should wear. Since it was February, Winter, she needed to wear something that will keep her warm. She picked out a white tank top with dark blue skinny jeans. Over the tank top, she wore a yellow hoody which had a picture of a pink bunny. For shoes, she wore yellow converses with pink bunnies (I have those :D). She let her hair down to keep her neck warm. She turned and looked into the big mirror. She looked cute. As always.

She didn't wear make up because she liked all things natural. She was gorgeous without make up but she wasn't one to admit it since she always thought of herself as less than average. Looking at the clock, she saw that it was now 7:30AM. She grabbed her black shoulder bag and stuffed it with books and school material. Once she finished packing, she slung it over her shoulder, she walked towards her desk and opened the drawer, taking out her keys, purse and cell phone and closed the draw after. She walked out of the room, closing the door behind her, aware that Koko has been following her the whole time, she walked to the kitchen and set her bag on the couch in the living room and her valuables on the coffee table. She went to the kitchen and out of one of the cupboards, she got out a box that had an image of a dog at the front. She got the dog food and crouched in front of a red bowl that had white letters on it that read 'Koko'. She poured the bowl full and set the food back where she took it from. She crouched down again and patter Koko's head.

'I'm off to school now, kay?' she smiled beautifully. She got up and went over to the couch, got her stuff and walked to the door which led to the outside world. Before she walked out, she put on a white coat and wrapped an orange scarf around her thin neck. Then she closed the door and locked it and then stuffed her keys inside her shoulder bag.

She walked to school every morning since from her house it was only a 15 minute walk. Gakuen Alice was were Mikan went. She checked her wrist watch and smiled. Usual.. she thought happily. School started at 8:20AM but Mikan chose to get there earlier. Of course she had a reason for it. At 8:15AM, 

the school is literally packed with teenagers trying to make their way to their assigned classrooms, pushing and shoving. In other words, it's a chaos.

She got to school at exactly 8:00AM and walked to her locker, putting inside all the unnecessary stuff. She took her purse, keys and cell phone and stuffed them in her hoody pockets. She closed her locker and started to walk to her homeroom classroom.

She got to it and opened the door just to be greeted with silence. All of a sudden, her smile faded. Even though it was like this every morning, Mikan couldn't help but feel sad at the empty room. She knew that she was all alone. The empty room just reminded her of all the things she wanted but couldn't have.

She walked to the back of the class and sat at her desk which was right next to the window, just how she liked it. Mikan's grades were top notch, A+ for every subject. She was happy that she manages well in school but, in her heart, there is still that big and empty space…
