Just Like Cinderella

Chapter 1

[Mikan's POV:]

Hi! I am Mikan Sakura Yukihara. That's right! I think I am the only Japanese with two first names. Every one calls me Mikan the Witch. You'll know it later as the story goes on why they gave that name.

I just want to be an ordinary office girl with a peaceful life. But because of my personality as the witch, I think I won't have a peaceful life for the rest of my life.

By the way, I am 21 years old. NBSB. No Boyfriend Since Birth. Still the same reason, don't ask anymore. I am currently living alone because my younger brother is in the hospital. He's sick. I am working hard to support his medication. Our parents died when I was 10 years old and Youchi was just a new born baby. My mother died after she gave birth to him while my father died of an illness after two years. So I became his mother and father since then.

The only person who can go on with my attitude, not to mention my brother, is my boss, Hotaru Imai. She is also my best friend. Oh yeah, I am working at the Imai Techno Corporation. Hotaru's the president because her father retired early. Even if she's my best friend, we still have an employer-employee relationship when it comes to work. She's very strict! Hmmmp! –Like I'm one to talk.

I am the boss' secretary. And today, we have a very important meeting with a very important client. Speaking of which, he is Mr. Natsume Hyuuga of Hyuuga Corporation. His name sounds familiar though. I have never seen him so I don't know.

"Mikan, Let's go. Don't space out idiot. We're going to be late. I don't want that Baka to say something to me." Hotaru said after hitting my head. She then walks out of the automatic sliding glass door of her office.

Oh well, so much for the introductions. I still need to work. Talk to you later. I need my demonic aura now.

[Normal POV:]

"Hotaruu, you meanie!" Mikan mumbled while holding her head where Hotaru hits her. She's the only one who can do that to her. She then gets all the documents needed and followed her boss.

All the employees shut up after seeing the president and her secretary walks out of the office. They don't want to be scolded by the witch.

"You're early." Hotaru said after walking towards their assigned table. The guy looks at her after he stands up to honor her arrival.

"Not really. I just arrived just before you arrived." He answered. "Let's fill our stomach first before anything else.

"Sure." Hotaru said. They call the waiter and ordered.

Hotaru looks around to look for someone. "Where is that Baka?" She murmured.

"Are you waiting for someone?" The guy asked.

"I'm waiting for my idiot secretary. She came with me." Hotaru answered. Natsume just – Hn.

"Hotaru, here's the files." Mikan said and sat down after the waiter offered the seat besides Hotaru. The guy in front of them didn't bother to look.

"Mikan, this is Mr. Natsume Hyuuga. Natsume, this is Mikan Sakura Yukihara, my secretary." Hotaru introduces. Natsume who was uninterested immediately looks at the girl after hearing her name. Mikan, who was also curious looked at him.

Crimson eyes. Raven hair. Natsume. The same Natsume. Mikan immediately looks away and didn't bother to greet the important client.

"Mikan." Hotaru called with a firm voice. Mikan knows the meaning of that tone. Natsume is an important client so she should give respect to him. But she can't. She doesn't want to give her respect to this guy who caused her pain. She just can't. She tightened her grip.

"I'm sorry Hotaru. I still need to go somewhere very important. I can't stay with you here. I know you can handle this appointment yourself." She said and then runs to the exit. Natsume tried to chase her, but immediately stopped just before stepping forward.

"I'm very sorry for her action Natsume. It's seems that you and Mikan knew each other." Hotaru said while looking at Mikan's back who's walking fast outside while wiping her eyes. She looks like crying.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter. Let's continue with our business." He answered. Hotaru just stared at his sad facial expression.

Mikan walked inside the white room. She looked at the 10 year old boy who's sleeping peacefully in his bed. He's pale. Hotaru doesn't know that her younger brother is in the hospital. She doesn't want to receive help from her again. She already helped them so much and doesn't want to be a burden anymore.

She wiped her tears. Why does it have to be Natsume who should they meet today? She never really thought that Natsume Igarashi would be Natsume Hyuuga. Why does it have to be him? She doesn't want to meet him anymore. She doesn't want to remember the past anymore.

Mikan sat down on the chair beside the bed where her younger brother is lying down. She held Yoichi's hand and then closes her eyes.

Everybody in the huge lawn of the mansion sang happily. After singing, a 10 year old girl blows the candles and made a wish. She has a long auburn hair and hazel orbs.

"Happy birthday our princess!" The couple greeted then kissed the little girl on both cheeks.

"Thank you Mommy, thank you daddy!" The little girl answered. Everyone continued the party.

The little girl looks around to find a certain someone, a boy whose eyes are crimsons. She didn't find him with the visitors so she went to a particular tree in their backyard. She knew he always stay there.

"Natsume! I know you're here. Come on, get down there." She said. No answer. She then started to climb the Sakura tree with her dress, she almost fell when she steps on it, but someone quickly grabbed her just before her fall. He then pulled her up on the big branch.

"You idiot! Why did you climb? What if you fall?" A 14 year old boy with raven hair and crimson eyes snapped.

"You didn't answer that's why I climbed you idiot!" Mikan cried. The little boy wiped her tears with his finger on her cheek.

"Alright, don't cry anymore polka. I don't know what to do if you fall." He said. Mikan smiled.

"Polka?" Mikan asked confusedly.

"It's not my fault. You let me see your panty while climbing." He said while closing his eyes. He made his arm a pillow whilst lying on the branch. Mikan blushed after hearing it.

"Natsume you pervert! You peek! I hate you!" Mikan deliriously shouted while hitting him. She accidentally stepped on her dress again that made her slipped on the branch that they were sitting.

"Mikan!" Natsume shouted while reaching her. The branch where they were is not that high. Mikan closed her eyes and readied herself to hit the ground. When she opens her eyes, she was shocked to see Natsume lying on the ground before her while hugging her tightly.

But the most shocking thing is their lips collided. She pushes Natsume really hard. That was her first kiss even though it's not exactly a kiss. She looked at Natsume who looks hurt after falling into the ground.

"I'm very sorry Natsume. Are you okay?" She helped him stand up.

"Hn. You should go back to the party. I think I heard them calling you. You should greet the guests because you are the birthday celebrant." Natsume said while getting up.

"Are you sure? Do you want me to call the doctor to check up on you?" Mikan asked worriedly.

"I said I'm okay." Natsume said. "Go back there now." Mikan immediately went back on the lawn.

Is he angry because we fell because of me?" Mikan tried not to cry. She then remembered the kiss.

"Mikan-chan! There you are. Are you alright, baby? Are you crying? What happened?" A pregnant lady came near her. She has a short auburn hair.

"I'm alright mom. It's nothing. Where's Aoi? I want to play with her." She reprimanded. Aoi is Natsume's younger sister. She's a one year old baby.

"She's with Kaoru-sempai. Go look for her upstairs, maybe they are there. She's making Aoi sleep." Yuka answered.

"Thanks Mom!" She happily said while running towards the door.

"No problem, my baby!" Yuka smiled.

"Mom! I am old now. Don't call me baby anymore!" I just had my first kiss. She thought.

"Alright, but you're still my baby." Yuka said while grinning while looking at her running daughter.

"What's that Hun…?" A man asked from behind while hugging her in her waist towards her big tummy and then kisses her in the neck.

"Our baby doesn't want us to call her baby anymore." Yuka answered and then faced him. She then hugged him back to his neck.

"That's sad. Perhaps that's because we will have our new baby in the house soon." Izumi answered and then kissed her on the lips.

"That's enough Hun. Let's go back to the lawn now. We still need to face the visitors." Yuka said while pushing him away from her body and then held his hand and dragged him towards their lawn.

"Yeah…" Izumi said. "Don't tire yourself Hun. It's not good for you and our baby."

"Of course!" She said.

Mikan went upstairs. She doesn't want her mother to see her blushing that was why she told her that she wanted to play with Aoi. But that was partly true. Aoi is like a baby sister to her. But she doesn't see Natsume as her older brother.

"Aunt Kaoru…" Mikan called after opening the door of the room where Natsume's family stays. Her family and Natsume's are living in one roof. Kaoru and Yuka are best of friends. Yuka and Izumi let them stay for a while because of some matter.

"Hmm… what is it darling?" Kaoru answered while humming a song to Aoi.

"Oh, Aoi's already asleep. I just wanted to play with Aoi for a while. I should go downstairs now." She answered. Kaoru just smiled.

"You can go out now, she's gone." Kaoru said.

"Hn." He simply responded.

"Why did you suddenly hide?" She asked. "And will please stop entering through the window darling?"

"Hn." Kaoru just exhaled deeply.

"Okay, I know something happened between you two so I won't ask anymore." She said towards her son. "Please call your father for me, will you? He's darn tired. I'll just change and make him rest for a while."

"Hn." That was all of his answers. He walked towards the door and went out. In exchange for letting them stay for free, they volunteered to do household chores even though the Yukihara Family doesn't want them to work. The Yukihara treat them as guests.

After walking out of the room, he heard a loud scream from the stairs. His heart's pounding hardly when he realized who owned that familiar voice. He hurriedly runs to where the scream came from. There he saw her lying at the end of the staircase with blood in her head.

Mikan was about to step downstairs when someone pushes her hardly making her fall in the high stairs. It's really high because they have a huge mansion. Before she loses consciousness, she saw Natsume on the top of the stairs looking down at her.

Did he just push her? Why…

He wiped the tears that fall in her pale cheek with his other hand. She's sleeping again at his side while holding his other hand tightly.

Mikan opened her eyes when she felt someone touches her cheek. She saw Yoichi sat on his bed while looking outside the window.

"You're awake. Do you want something Yo-chan? Are you hungry?" She asked while fixing her hair and wiping the tears off her cheeks.

"Hn. Did something happened, hag?" Yoichi asked. He knew something's wrong with her sister if she's around this time of hour and sleeping beside him while crying in her sleep, again.

To be continued…

Being someone's first love feels great…

But to be someone's last love goes from infinity and behind…
