Author's note: Greetings! I just made another try on making chapters story. I just hope there will be no more problems like before. Please read n review to support me! :DD Oh, yeah. My style of writing maybe different in this story.

Author's note (Sept. 27): I just revised my work and I replaced the revised one with the old one. AND beware to HotaRuka's fan... I changed Ruka and Hotaru's pairing.

Disclaimer: Do not misunderstood, natsume4mikan's a FAN of Gakuen Alice, not the owner. That would be Higuchi Tachibana.

Thanks to: Since it's the first chapter, so none.

Reply/s to reviewer/s: Duhh, none for now... :DD

Dedicated to: Uhh... The fanfic readers?

Important: If I don't receive any review, I don't think I will still continue this story. (Not threatening, by the way), XDD

Say That You Love Me

Chapter 1: New type of fan.

Alice Hotel - 9 am

"I'll call you again later, Natsume." a blond male person put down the telephone and stood up when his boss came to the counter.

"Good morning, Ruka." his boss greeted politely.

"Good morning, sir." he greeted back and bowed. "Is there anything I can do to help you?" he asked formally.

His boss gave a smile and nodded. "Yes. We have an important costumer right now..." he said and a raven-haired female stepped forward with her expressionless face and made Ruka stunned. "...Imai Hotaru."

"Ruka?" the boss waved his hand in front of Ruka when he called him for the third time.

Ruka quickly snapped out and said, "Ah, yes, sir?"

His boss rolled his eyes. "Did you hear what I said, we have new important costumer today." he repeated.

"Y-Yes. N-Nogi R-Ruka!" Ruka tried to calm down as he reached out his hand.

"Imai Hotaru." Hotaru shook his hand made him nervous than before.

"Great. Imai Hotaru will be living in this hotel for 4 days. Why don't you show her her room, Ruka?" his boss asked and Ruka just nodded while still blushing. Then, his boss walked away but stopped on the way and gazed Ruka. He turned back and shook his head, smiling.

Hotaru looked annoyed at the person in front of her who just kept quiet and looked down at the shining floor. "Well?" she finally asked.

"O-Oh, yeah!" Ruka snapped clumsily. "P-Pardon me, Miss Imai. P-Please pro-proceed here," he walked out of the lift shyly to a room at the 12th floor which was the last floor in the hotel. The whole floor was hers. She was rich, alright. "We hope you'll enjoy your stay." he said and went back to the lift.

Hotaru looked at the closed lift and she shook her head. She was smart, of course she understood better. She ignored and took out her vibrated cell phone.

"Darn it." Ruka groaned when he went out of the lift. He stopped when he saw a person on the counter. He went towards him and greeted. "Hey, Natsume."

Natsume looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Tch. What happened?" he asked coolly.

Ruka shook his head. "N-Nothing." he denied. Natsume rolled his eyes and just glared at him.

"I-I just happened to meet this girl. She's... Wow." Ruka replied, didn't know what word best to describe 'the girl'.

"Hn. You've got to be kidding me." he said as he sighed.

"What?" Ruka screeched.

"You're suck at--" Natsume was cut when a brunette went to the counter and greeted cheerfully.

"Ohayo! Is there a person--" the girl tried to talk to the other worker in the counter.

"Shut up, will you?" Natsume said rudely and Ruka just dropped his sweat.

"What? No! I didn't disturb you guys, did I?!" she fought back.

"Tch. You did with the loud tone of yours. So just shut up, idiot!"

The girl rolled her eyes. "I - have a name, and it is Mikan Sakura!" she stated angrily.

"Yeah, right. Like I care about the Sakuras." he shot. I didn't know there is a Mikan in Sakura. he slightly thought.

"Did I say you would?" she shot back and Natsume glared at her. He couldn't stand her anymore so he took off his sunglasses aka disguise so he thought Mikan will give up and stop fighting with him. After all, he was Natsume Hyuuga, the popular son of Hyuuga, the popular businessman. As he expected, Mikan did stop and her mouth gaped - but for just a moment. Natsume gave an invisible smirk and ignored her as he went back to talk with Ruka. However, he was stopped again.

"What, you think that good looks of yours will make me fall, Mr. Hyuuga?" she said, innocently mentioned the 'good looks'. Natsume and Ruka were both shocked to hear her said that.

Natsume turned to her and then smirked. "Watch and learn." he said to Ruka who just sweatdropped looking at his next action. Mikan didn't catch up by what he meant by 'watch and learn'. He messed his raven hair with his fingers and went nearer to Mikan. Mikan gulped and blushed when he was just inches away from her face. "Good looks, hn?" he stated with a low voice.

Mikan quickly shook her head to snap out and she pushed Natsume away. "Y-You--!" she pointed at him with her index finger angrily. Natsume smirked and held her index finger in his hand. Ruka just stared in awe. He was the one who became speechless. "Let it go!" she tried to pull away her hand while still blushing. Natsume tightened his grip and pulled her finger that made her stare into his eyes inches away. She gulped again. Natsume gulped as he stared into her eyes, too.

SNAP SNAP SNAP

Suddenly Hotaru came while she took hundred of snaps into her expensive camera. Ruka dropped his sweat while both Natsume and Mikan pulled away from each other. "Ano, Imai-san... What are you doing?" Ruka suddenly asked. Hotaru ignored him and just went towards Mikan.

"Great shots." she stated and Mikan blushed.

Natsume grunted as he snapped out. "Whatever. You idiot just wasting my time." he said rudely.

"I'm not an idiot, you IDIOT!" Mikan shouted.

"Tch. Just shut up, already." he replied with a bored sigh while brushing his raven hair. Ruka just dropped his sweat.

"Ugh. Let's just go, Hotaru! Where is your room?" Mikan held Hotaru's wrist and pulled it to the lift. Hotaru remained expressionless and Ruka couldn't get his eyes off her until the lift closed. Hotaru realized it but just acted like nothing happened.

"Oi." Natsume called out his bestfriend.

"W-What?" Ruka snapped out.

"That's the girl you are talking about?" he asked. Ruka blushed and quickly shook his head. Natsume raised an eyebrow and stared at him to confirm. At last, Ruka nodded in defeat. Then, his chuckles made Natsume raised both his eyebrows. "Why are you suddenly chuckling, idiot?" he asked. Ruka just continued chuckling and replied when he calmed down.

"You were defeated."

"What do you mean?" he asked again.

"You were astonished when you stared into Sakura's eyes." Ruka chuckled. "It was your fault anyway for pulling her near to you." Natsume punched Ruka's head calmly and Ruka just continued his chuckle.

"Hn. She's annoying." he confessed.

Ruka smiled and nodded. "Right. She knows who you are but she looks like uninterested in you."

Natsume smirked. "I don't think so." Ruka raised his eyebrows at this and Natsume smirked even more when he answered his thought. "Trust me. She does."

Mikan groaned as she arrived at Hotaru's floor. "That was hard!" she shouted.

Hotaru remained emotionless and said, "Congratulations."

Mikan blushed. "I never thought I will meet him face to face. And I never thought that he would be this cruel! I hate him!" she sighed. Hotaru took a crab roe and sat down next to Mikan on her bed.

"I don't get it why you are so interested in that Hyuuga in the first place."

Mikan pouted angrily as she faced Hotaru and said, "Not anymore!"

Alice Hotel - 11.30 am

Mikan stopped laughing after Hotaru made a slumber joke when the door was knocked. "You want me to get that?"

Mikan turned her head to Hotaru and Hotaru shook her head then said, "No need." Mikan nodded as Hotaru walked towards the door. She stared at the person in front of her in annoyance. Oh, brother.

"Ano, I-Imai-san..." Ruka blushed as he held out a small device in his hand. "This is your memory card, isn't it? It fell on the floor and I just happened to notice after you left." Hotaru still had her expressionless face on and took the memory card as she checked its every angel.

"Thanks, Nogi." she said, forcing herself. Ruka wanted to say something when Hotaru started to walk away. He held her wrist to stop her and made her turned back at him.

She raised her eyebrows as she just stared at his hand that held her wrist as a sign to ask him let it go. Ruka saw her stare and quickly loosed his grip. "P-Pardon me, Miss Imai." he looked down. "Umm... I just want to say that if you need something, feel free to ask me..." Hotaru responded by reaching her right hand out. Ruka looked at her in confuse.

"Just a thousand dollar is enough to pay for touching me." she said and Ruka dropped his sweat.

"N-Nani!? That's a lot! I was just holding your--!" his true self appeared and interrupted when he saw Hotaru's cold eyes.

"Just go." she sighed. "You're not even rich." she stated. "...And I don't need anything from you." with her last words, she closed the door.

"What the?!" he mumbled.

"Ne, ne... Hotaru, is he your another admirer?" Mikan asked cutely. Hotaru looked at her bestfriend and raised her shoulders. "Looks like it." Mikan answered herself. "But to be honest, you both looks great together!" she chirped.

Hotaru gave her a death glare and then said simple, "Never."

Mikan dropped her sweat and then looked at her watch. "Oh, it's late, Hotaru! Mom asked me to go home early. I've got to go." she said and Hotaru just nodded. "I'll come again tomorrow!" Mikan shouted and closed the door after turning the door knob.

After the door banged closed, Hotaru stared at her wrist that Ruka just held. She then made an evil grin.

"Hn." Natsume smirked. "She asked you to pay a thousand, huh?"

Ruka sighed unsatisfied. "Yeah, and just for holding her damn wrist?!" he snapped.

"Tch." Natsume was about to say something but someone who just came out from the lift caught his attention. Ruka looked at him in confuse and turned to see his gaze. He saw Mikan and raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, no. What are you planning on doing now?" he asked worriedly.

Natsume smirked devilishly and replied, "Easy." And he put his hands on the back of his head and stretched on the sofa with his legs reached to Mikan's way. Mikan quickly stopped when she saw it so she wouldn't slip off. "Hn. I didn't see you." Natsume then sat properly and put his elbows on his legs so he could rest his face on his hands as he looked expressionless up to Mikan.

Mikan rolled her eyes and sneered, "No shock. Hmm..." she held her lips and continued, "...Shouldn't you wear eyeglasses instead of sunglasses?" Natsume raised his eyebrows at the statement but then snapped.

"Why would I since I can still see your face clearly?" he said coolly. Mikan groaned and once again rolled her eyes. She then ignored him and continued walking but successfully stepped vigorously on one of his feet before leaving. "Damn it!" he massaged his hurt foot. He saw her biting her tongue at him. Ruka chuckled and Natsume glared at him deadly. Ruka cover his mouth and tried to hold his laugh. "Give up?" he asked. Natsume ignored him. "Tch."

Hyuuga Office Building - 2 pm

"Sir, Mr. Hyuuga wants you to go to his office."

Natsume pressed an answer button without looking away from the papers on his table. "Fine." he said and then organized the papers. He went out of his office and went to the other office. "What is it? I'm busy, father." he approached rudely. The person who sat in front of his father turned the swing chair and smiled fondly at him after she stood up.

"Oh, you're here." Mr. Hyuuga stood up as well and went forward to his son.

"Meet Sakura Yuka, the successful businesswoman I told you about?" he said as Yuka reached out her hand.

"Pleased to meet you." she said politely.

Natsume shook her hand and then nodded. "Hyuuga Natsume."

Mr. Hyuuga smiled and asked them both to have a seat on the chair and they both nodded then sat down in front of him. "Miss Sakura just returned from her business in UK. with her daughter while her husband will arrive next week to Japan." Natsume smirked when he heard about the daughter. He went to his other world for the moment.

His father raised his eyebrows and then called, "Natsume, are you alright?" Natsume changed his expression to a cool one and nodded. "Okay... Can we focus here?" Mr. Hyuuga added.

"Hn." Natsume said. "Alright. We just made a plan that the Sakura Company will combine their forces with our Company. What do you say?" Mr. Hyuuga explained. Natsume raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"It will be fantastic." he emphasized the last word. Mr. Hyuuga stared confusingly at him while Yuka smiled.

"Great. How about meeting my daughter tomorrow so then you both will be easily working together?" she finally said that made Natsume's smirk grew wider.

"I will be very pleased." he said. Mr. Hyuuga started to feel that Natsume had something in his mind about Yuka's daughter. "Hn, but try not to mention my name or even surname. She might get excited." he stated and Yuka nodded. She knew that the son of Hyuuga is every girl's dream guy that even she knew her daughter did. She smiled.

"I understand."

Yuka finally stood up and bowed, "Well, then. It's all settled. I will ask my daughter to come by to your office tomorrow."

Natsume shook his head as he and his father stood up to respect Yuka. "Never mind the office, just tell her to meet me at the coffee house near this building." he said.

Yuka asked, "Oh, you mean 'The Cafe'?" Natsume nodded. "Okay. I'll get going now." Yuka agreed and walked out of the office. Natsume's gaze followed Yuka's move and he smirked after Yuka was out of sight.

"Alright, speak up. Do you know Sakura's daughter?" Mr. Hyuuga suddenly said when saw Natsume smirking again. Natsume snapped out and turned to face his father.

"I might." he replied calmly and brushed his raven hair.
