This chapter is similar to the first "My Contract with the Grim Reaper" but later in the story it would be changed. The plot won't be as confusing as the first one, and many things would be different.

Blackrose-- I'm not sure about Persona X Mikan, pairing is still unknown yet but it probably would be Mikan X OC

Please leave a review, and look forward to chapter 2!

Chapter 1: A Contract

I stared blankly at the ceiling; recalling yesterday's event like a dream.

"Mikan, I love you." His words hung on the late summer night. His piercing crimson eyes gazed at me silently. I could only stare back at him, wavering at his confession—unable to speak.

"…See you tomorrow…then." He said, his bangs covering his eyes as he turned away from me.

"I would wait," his voice drifted away. I regain my composure, and finally understand what he meant. "I-I like—" but I never got to finish, I regretted it, wondering why I was so astonish by his confession. After all Hotaru had told me he liked me, so did Anna and Nonoko. I guess hearing it—confirming it—was different, even if I had expected it.

"Hey, Mikan." Ruka called out, closing the distance. "Everyone is waiting," his voice was a little forced, but I didn't notice—I was too worried about Natsume.

"Let's go." Natsume said, going back to the class party. "Natsume wait," I turned hurriedly, but he never stopped—ignoring me as he walked away.

"Mikan!"

I snapped back into reality as I heard my mom calling me for breakfast. Today, I would tell Natsume my answer. This time there won't be an interruption.

"Coming," I yelled back. I stood up and changed into my summer clothing. I combed my hair and then did the usual hairdo: pigtails.

I would tell him my answer.

I was heading to the park where Natsume would definitely be waiting for me under the sakura tree. Today we did be going for the Zoo to do our summer project, then eat some ice cream, go back to his house and finish the vacation project, and then I would tell him: I like y—

I saw a black cat walking across the streets toward me. The traffic light was still green, and a truck was coming—fast.

I didn't think; I just ran toward the cat. I heard the honking of the truck, and then felt the extreme pain crushing me.

In seconds; I am lying on the concrete, feeling the soft fur against my arms. The pain was still strong; I could hear the commotion, and people yelling for help. But all I notice was the cat's golden irises, they were striking and calculating.

It's purring blocked most of the sounds around me, my eyes were heavy too. The concrete floor was wet and warm; the smell of metallic was strong too—is my blood.

I think my mind is playing tricks on me, because the cat was smiling at me is a very creepy way. I heard my name being call in the distance…who is it?

"MIKAN!" this time it was clearer, and suddenly strong hands were holding me tightly. My eyes met with very familiar crimson orbs. The male in front of me, brought me into a hug, he muttered soft words into my ear—they sounded rather desperate and forced.

"Don't die…you baka…how can you get into a-an accident? Don't sleep! Keep your eyes open! I told you…I would wait…b-but now…you are-are,"

I felt something warm on my cheek—they were tears, it was my first time seeing them in his eyes. He brought me closer to his face, emotions were displayed on his face for the first time, and there were no smug smirks, no poker face, or any glaring.

I felt his warm lips against mine, it was my first kiss and by my first love. "…Mikan…" he whispered against my lips, hugging me even tighter—like he was afraid I would disappear.

"I like you, Natsu—" I muttered into his ear, and then everything was black. I heard him scream my name many times; each time getting fainter.

I woke up; seeing nothing but darkness. My summer clothes weren't tainted red, and the pain was long gone.

"You are up," Someone said from behind me, I turned around just to meet two pair of golden irises. It was the cat I had saved…wait…the cat just spoke!

Before I could voice my question, the cat had turned into what appear to be a male in cashmere clothing.

He had silky black hair, with strokes of scarlet red, pierced ears, dark amber eyes, high cheek bones, creamy skin, and nice toned frame.

"W-what are you?" I stutter as I peered at the figure in front of me with one pointed index finger at him. He heaved a sigh and walked toward me.

"Don't you want to know what I can offer you?" He said in an arrogant voice—kneeling down to get a better look at me.

"W-what?" I have a bad feeling about this, like a déjà vu kind of way—no, maybe it is déjà vu.

This girl must be stupid. He thought silently, then speaking once again. "You can return to the human world, that's what I meant."

"Aren't I in the human world?" I asked stupidly, with a 'duh' expression. This only made him laugh at me. "No, you are in front of the doors of Heaven and Hell," he gave me his own 'duh' expression accompanied with the same bored voice.

"Well I don't see any door…" I looked around, nope, there was only darkness but I can still see him clearly and myself too.

"Which means you don't belong here, after all you weren't supposed to die. So I am giving you a chance to return."

"What do you mean I am not supposed to be here?"

"If you can't see any door means you don't go anywhere. If you see one of the doors then I would sent you there, but since you can't see it means you can't open it so you don't belong. Now do you understand?" he spoke slowly like I was 5 years old or an idiot.

I would have said no, but he never gave me the chance to speak again.

"Now want to hear the offer I am giving you?"

"What do you mean I am not supposed to die?"

He only gave me an annoyed look before responding. How did I get myself into this? He asked mentally.

"Everyone dies differently and in a certain time and place and the cause of it. But since you can't see any door means you are not to die at this time. So now would you listen to me?" His voice mirrored his irritated feelings. I nodded quietly.

"You can return to the human world, with the same body but with a different name and background. Now sign these papers please." He shoved me some papers that had appeared out of nowhere onto my face.

I signed the papers, and then I thought about my mom. She kept telling me not to sign papers until looking at the contents, but before I could read any of the words he had snatched it away from me. I am getting a terrible feeling now…

"Now you will be coming with me to New York as my servant. Number one rule: you can't contact anyone from your past life." He told me with a vicious smile, which had sent shivers through my body. I'm starting to regret this…

"N-n-new York?"

"Mikan, also, I am a Grim Reaper. My name is Rai Hart."

His smiled wasn't just vicious, it was creepy and alarming.

I just signed a contract with a Grim Reaper…

NANI!!!
