Run… run… I have to keep running… 'haa, haa…' are they still following me?... 'haa, haa…' I'm tired… no! I have to keep running; I can't let them catch me… (Falls) OUCH! Damn… I can't get up… 'haa, haa…' If I sleep now, I'm dead… heh, that sounds good… (Sharp pain) 'UGH, shit I can't stop the bleeding!' (grips a crystal around his neck)I can't continue this anymore… I'm sorry mom, Aoi , Ruka, l have to sleep… but I might never wake up…

"Hehe, don't lick too much you're tickling me." She said. "Ahhh! Stop that! You're making me too wet!" Her companion stared at her intensely. "Jeez…" she sighed in frustration, "come on I'll bring you back. You're mom has been looking for you, you know." Her companion bowed its head and replied, "meow."

"What have you been doing here anyway, Juliet. You'll catch a cold!" the cat ran and led her in the direction of a river surrounded by thick woods. The girl followed, and there she saw a young man completely battered and unconscious. The cat, Juliet, walked towards him and licked his wounds. "Meow" it said again to her as if asking her to help him. The girl sighed inwardly. "Jeez, I'll help you're friend you know, even if you don't ask me… anyway, come help me already. We need to get him to our house and treat his wounds."

Natsume Hyuuga woke up slowly, and stared right through a medium sized, white- colored cat. "meow" it said and jumped out of the bed and went out of the door. Natsume scanned his surroundings, the room doesn't look familiar at all: small, cramped and super unorganized, with things, clothes, and papers lying about here and there; and yet, it seemed so comforting and peaceful. His head hurts and suddenly regained his memories. "mom, Aoi," HIS NECKLACE! Oh it's still there…

"AAAHHHH! You're awake! You've been sleeping for three days straight you know! How's your wound? OH! You must be soooo hungry. (giggles) don't worry I've prepared a lot of food for you so you just take it easy and rest. AH! The food! JULIET! Keep him company, ok? I have to finish cooking so we can start eating." With that the girl with orange head exited. Natsume sat there dumbfounded. It seems as if a whirlwind just pass through. So he was asleep for three days huh? His wounds have also been treated well. Who was that girl anyway? I can not let my guard down he said to himself and stalked out of the room, the juliet following behind.

"Who are you?" he said

"Mikan Sakura! Your beautiful savior." She huffed. "You?"

"… you don't have to know."

"hmm… you're right I don't want to know a name of a rude guy like you anyway. But I promised Juliet I'll take care of you so I'll let you stay until you recover. Hmph Mikan Sakura-sama is just so nice." (giggle) Natsume looked at the white- furred cat purring at his feet he smiled his gratitude and looked at "sakura-sama." Heh. Weird girl.

"You think highly of yourself, brat" he teased. And the woman began shouting and calling him names. He smiled. She is indeed a brat but she makes one hell of a good meal. After meal Natsume was about to go back to the room but the girl still kept on complaining about being rude and no manners. Seriously It's giving him a headache so what can he do? he has no choice in this matter. So he pulled mikan to him and kissed her full on the lips. Shocked, Mikan opened her mouth to protest but natsume immediately slid his tongue inside Mikan's mouth. The kiss went on and on until Mikan has no more strength to protest and left limp in his arms. Natsume can't stop himself. Out of all the women he's kissed, and there were countless of them, this is the only one that can make him lose control. Ah. He has to stop now, the girl is already swooning. But damn, she tasted so sweet like strawberries! Finally, he let go of her and casually nibbled her ears and said "Shut up." Then went back to the room with the cat. Mikan blushed so deeply and, finally coming to her senses, exploded.
