Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of not all ages as this is rated T for reasons explained later, I welcome you all to my new story, 'Competition!'

Yes! Finally posted my story just as I promised. I'm sorry for making you all wait...if you were waiting at all.

WARNING: Natsume will be EXTREMELY OOC HERE! It's all for the story and plot. The beginning he will act almost like a completely different person as if he has split personality, but will go back to being 'him' later on and it will be explained why his character is like that. His 'other' personality will almost be like Koko's; always smiling, casual and easy-going. That's why please please please bear with me. I know you guys don't like OOC characters especially with the main characters but it's just how the story's going to be.

Anyways, with that in mind, I hope you enjoy my new story!


I find myself in a terrible situation.

So, there are a few problems occurring right now.

Number one. The guy who is currently standing next to me, Natsume Hyuuga, is an Adonis, a jerk, a flirt, extremely cunning, arrogant, cocky and the list goes on forever. Not to mention, he is—believe it or not—a demon.

Like, literally a demon. The kind that appears in movies, fairytales and all.

I'm not lying, really.

Honestly, I couldn't believe it either when I first met him a little over a month ago.

Number two. The entire room is filled with demons and most of the population are males. Which, ahem, is intimidating when I'm on the top of a grand staircase, in a giant mansion—with no escape—and when I'm just a sixteen year old girl.

"I now announce the arrival of," the seneschal announced in a loud voice, the room filled with whispers as all eyes trained on us. "Natsume Hyuuga and the Lost Princess, Mikan Yukihira!" Claps filled the room, almost deafening me, as Natsume led me down the staircase, a graceful smile on his face.

That's right. Hard to believe, but I'm the Lost Princess, Mikan Yukihira. Only a week ago did I turn sixteen, and this ball was the celebration of the start of the 'competition.'

Which leads to the third problem.

"Wow! You're Mikan Yukihira?" The crowd around us became larger as everyone gathered around us. "You're even prettier than how the rumors described you!"

"You're so cute!"

"Marry me!"

"Hey let's go somewhere alone." I was becoming dizzy with all this attention when a sudden hand grabbed mine and started pulling me away from the crowd. Immediately, another hand grabbed my free one and both sides started pulling, ripping me apart.

"My, my. Where do you think you're going, Mikan?" I turned around to see the creepiest smile on Natsume's face, giving me a cold chill down my spine.

"No—He—I—" I stumbled on my words as the other guy continued pulling.

"Hyuuga-san, I hope you will not get in my way." The guy growled as he continued pulling. Natsume just stood there unfazed with a polite smile.

"Please let go. Don't touch her." His smile became eerily friendly, contradicting his cold words.

"You can't possibly blame me. She's so beautiful." The man gave me what I believe was a charming smile, but it disgusted me.

Natsume had curled my brunette hair, tying it into a princess braid and added silver beads into it, making it look like stars, and my dress—which he also picked—was strapless, light pink with white laces, with a bow around my waist and the fabric cascading down to the ground like stage curtains. Zigzag strings on my back held it in place. I wore light makeup: eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, pink lipgloss and a tiny bit of blush. A simple pair of white heels and gloves finished the look.

But just because I was dressed up tonight did not give him permission to—to—drag me away like this.

So yes, there are a few problems occurring right now.

What exactly am I doing here? How did I meet Natsume? What on earth am I talking about?

Well, that's a completely different chapter, really.


So this is like a preview more than an actual chapter. This story—and me, of course—needs a bit of encouragement and love so please drop a review for this lonely writer and rookie story. (Competition told me that its being bullied by the older stories like Bite and Love. Poor child...) Loved it? Hated it? Improvements? Awkward and random comments to make my day?

If you flame, you will face my wrath and I will freaking get a match and set your house on fire using your own flame. P.S I must warn you that I have gotten a user banned on this site after they stole my identity, so don't try any funny business Mister or Miss I'm-So-Bored-So-I'll-Just-Randomly-Be-A-Douche-To-People-Who-Are-Actually-Trying. You think you won't get caught? HA! Not when you mess with me!

That said, please R&R!
