A Prince Behind The Scenes

"Mikan-chan,let's go home!" called Anna, the pink haired friend of Sakura Mikan. She stood waiting at the doorway for said friend.

"Hai!(yes!)" the brunette called back. Grabbing her heavy school bag,Mikan quickly made her way out. The two friends then departed from their classroom. On the way outside they were joined by another good friend of theirs. Nonoko said hi happily,her long blue hair flowing after her.

"Ne,ne, did you guys see the super handsome third year?" Nonoko asked excitedly.

"Are you talking about Hyuuga-san?" Anna asked. Mikan looked between them,happy enough not to join in as she had no idea who they were talking about.

"I heard he's a member of the famous Rien!" Anna gushed,clapping her hands with earnest.

"Ara? What's Rien?" Mikan asked,confused with the new term. Completely clueless.

"You don't know Mikan-chan? It's a Kabuki theater group!" Nonoko explained patiently and smiled.

(Kabuki : a traditional japanese musical theater consisting of dramas,singing and dances.)

"I also heard he's from a noble family that has always been involved in Kabuki" Nonoko continued,all the while waving her finger smartly in front of Mikan. Mikan only rolled her eyes. Anna giggled but then asked her,

"Mikan-chan, you've never heard of Tatsuya Saiga?" Mikan could only shake her head a no. Utterly clueless.

"Ano, I don't understand how you guys get all these information and anyways, who the hell likes Kabuki?" Mikan shrugged.

Anna and Nonoko gasped with outrage.

"Mikan-chan!" they admonished her.

"Nani-ka?(What?)" she turned towards them,perplexed by their reaction.

"How is it you're not the least bit interested in handsome guys like Hyuuga-kun?" Nonoko chided. Annoyed at the pretty but naive brunette.

"Don't be fooled. All those handsome guys are phoney! I'm not the type that goes for looks!" Mikan said,she frowned cutely and pouted. However she wasn't finished yet with her passionate speech.

Mikan whirled around,her eyes alight with conviction.

"I want a boyfriend who would say 'you're my only one!' to me! It doesn't matter if he looks absolutely normal." She finished. Very satisfied.

Anna and Nonoko sweatdropped.

"There she goes again.." Anna sighed. Nonoko suddenly smiled. An idea had just popped out of her head. She turned towards Anna.

"How about we go and see Hyuuga-kun now?"

Anna nodded excitedly. She quickly grabbed Mikan's bag,dragging her in the process.

"That's a great idea! Let's go Mikan!" however,Mikan shook her head no and dug her foot in.

"What? No thanks guys. I think it's better if I-" she tugged her bag free but the momentum and force swung her bag sideways.

"-don't get involved" the moment she had said her piece,she heard and felt something collide with her bag with a low thud. Gasping,Mikan turned around and was shocked to see a good looking guy doubled over in pain.

"Mikan!" Anna called,also worried.

"It's Hyuuga!" Nonoko exclaimed,more shocked that it was Hyuuga of all people.

"Gomen!" Mikan stared at the young man beside her,already feeling guilty.

"Ano.." she started,however Mikan was abruptly cut off by the dark glare Hyuuga directed at her. Mikan could feel herself begin to sweat and gulped.

To her astonishment,the guy merely stood straight again and walked away.

"Oh my,that was very scary. Are you alright Mikan-chan?" Anna commented with her hands cupping her face worriedly.

"That was unexpected. Maybe you're right Mikan! Handsome guys really are phoney." Nonoko watched the retreating back of Hyuuga with a frown.

Mikan was shocked.

'Demo(But)...there's a really thick dictionary in my bag. It must have hurt when it hit him. Yet he didn't blame me at all... If he really was a bad tempered guy he would have blown a gasket.' Mikan wondered to herself.

(beep)

The sound of her watch beeping snapped Mikan out of her own musings. She glanced at her watch and groaned.

"Oh no! I forgot! I promised to eat dinner out with my family today! See you guys later!" with that said, Mikan took off,waving her farewell as she ran.

Nonoko and Anna glanced at each other and smiled.

"I don't know if she really isn't aware of her suroundings or if she's just not easily attracted to guys". Nonoko commented.
