Summary:

Everyone got the huge shock of their lives when the ruthless, cold and arrogant bad boy Natsume Hyuuga started to court the sweet, kind and cheerful angel Mikan Sakura.

Chapter 1

"F-Forgive me!" A terrified guy pleaded on his knees while trying to control the shaking of his body. In front of him is the lad who was feared by most because of his ruthless rules, most envied because of his gorgeousness, and the most respected because of his wealthy and powerful family name. Natsume Hyuuga, raven hair and bloody red eyes, almost everybody knows him.

Natsume stared at the guy with narrowed eyes, disgusted at the fact that he stooped low just to be freed from his wrath. But what he just did made him change his mind. He raised a hand and signaled one of his men to hold the guy. "W-Wait, Hyuuga-sama." The guy desperately called, but he ignored him and just watched as the latter was dragged away in front of him. And as he stood up to leave, a loud cry was heard in the middle of the night.

.

The cold wind slapped across his face, the dark almost blinding him to nothing. He turned his pace faster, the sound of his motorcycle roaring as he zoomed through the almost empty highway. He flipped his helmet's cover open, looking at the surrounding he was in and turned to a stop.

Natsume shut his engine off as he parked his motorcycle beside the convenient store. Removing the helmet off his head, he went inside and started to look for something to quench his thirst. He went for the fridge and pulled open the door, grabbing himself four cans of beer. But as he proceeded to the cashier to pay, he caught a glimpse of black in the corner of his right eye disappearing from view. Instincts kicking in, he slowly moved to the cashier, carefully sensing this unknown person that was discreetly following him.

Right when he dumped all the cans of beer on the counter, his defenses came rising and he immediately turned around and threw a can of beer at his attacker. The guy was taken aback at Natsume's sudden move that he failed to take a step back and the can hit him square on the head.

As the guy in black hooded shirt was knocked out dead on the floor due to the force he put on the can, Natsume fished out his phone and speed-dialed one of his men. He ignored the scared cashier who was cowering under the counter table.

"Mochu, take four of your boys and head here in the convenient store right before the subway station. A bastard attacked me." He announced before hanging up and immediately got to his motorcycle, totally losing interest to quench his thirst as he slipped on his helmet. Putting his phone back in his pocket, he turned the engine on and left the place. He knew that the guy who attacked him wasn't alone, and he needed to get away as soon as possible before he was cornered without any back-up to help him.

.

Mikan sighed in frustration. Her ride back home still wasn't pulling in front of her! It's almost past seven and she was getting more and more frightened by the darkness of the night. She was currently in front of Alice Academy and she was already imagining the worst case scenarios that could happen to her if her ride doesn't come in the next ten minutes.

She jumped in shock as a motorcycle suddenly appeared and crashed against the nearest wall across her. Her already fast heartbeat seems to double when she saw the driver of the motorcycle fell a few centimeters away from his ride. Not having second thoughts, she rushed to the man and turned him around.

She gasped in horror as blood stained his shirt at the area of his stomach and carefully slid off his helmet from his head.

A face she was not familiar with welcomed her vision. Her eyes worried as she cuddled his head on her lap.

"Hey, what happened to you?"

Natsume pried open his eyes even though his body complained at the movement. He went staring at the beautiful face in front of him for a few seconds before he came back to his senses. Wincing, he sat up and pulled away from her support. "Go away." He mumbled in a hoarse voice.

Mikan shot on her two feet as the lad staggered to walk back to his damaged motorcycle. "We need to get you to the hospital! You're bleeding!" But he just slapped her hand away.

He glared at her, too weak to run away. If she won't leave him she might get involved in his fight. "Can't you understand me, woman? I said go! I don't need your help!" He angrily stated before turning back to his task at hand.

Mikan went a bit frightened at his scary outburst, but as he fell down on his knees she immediately blocked out anymore thoughts. She placed his left arm over her shoulders and wrapped her right arm around his back, pulling him up on his two feet. "No, I'm not leaving you alone. I can't let you die knowing I can do something to help you." Natsume covered his wounded stomach carefully and was ready to shout at her once more when sounds of engines caught his attention. Cursing under his breath he pulled the brunette closer to his body.

"Oi, woman, if you're really going to help me then take me inside that Academy, hurry up!" Mikan nodded, not knowing the reason behind the urgency she heard in his voice.

.

"Hello, Satsuki-san, hurry up and come here! We have to bring someone to the hospital! This is an emergency! What, you're already here? That's great! Meet us in front of the high school building." Mikan instructed before ending the call. She turned to the lad who was grimacing from the utmost pain and silently kneeled in front of him. "Let's go before your wound starts getting worst." She extended her hands to help him get up but he refused to comply.

Natsume gave the woman his coldest stare. "You can leave now. I can take care of myself from here on." Mikan glared at him.

"What are you saying? You are wounded and my conscience will not forgive me if anything happens to you!"

"Darn it, don't mind other people's business! Don't you even know who I am?" She grabbed him by the collar and tried to knock some sense into his mind by shaking him.

"You are my business since the moment I decided to help you, so don't tell me that I have no right to say what's good for you. And do I look like I care who you are? If helping you means endangering my life then so be it!" Natsume could feel himself gaping. What did she say? She doesn't care?

He was so surprised that all he could do was stare at her. This is going to be the first time that somebody went against his decisions. And she doesn't even know who he is! Her angelic face just reflects her loving and kind heart. And he would be lying if he didn't find her fascinating at the moment.

Sighing in defeat, he pulled her to him and wrapped his arm over her shoulders, their faces inches apart. "Fine."

He marveled as her face brightened with a smile occupying her lips. "Good."

.

"Mikan-sama, what happened to him?" Satsuki, Mikan's driver who is already forty years old, asked once he opened the car's door to let the two in. When they were enclosed inside, Satsuki hurriedly pulled the car out of the gates of the Alice Academy, momentarily glaring at the guard post which was empty.

"I'll explain it to you later, just take us to the nearest hospital." Mikan wrapped her left arm around Natsume's back and gently pulled his head on the crook of her neck. "Don't worry, you're safe now."

Natsume didn't answer, he was busy suppressing all the pained grunts that were threatening to escape his lips. Warmth filled his heart at the care and worry he's detecting from her. He wasn't used to this kind of treatment, all his life the feeling of loneliness and emptiness accompanies him. This was what he dreamed of, wanting to feel love and care from the people he cared for.

But instead, it was given by a total stranger.

Unable to control his yearning heart, Natsume adjusted himself and buried his face on the crook of her neck. He heard her breath hitched and couldn't help but feel smug for a moment. He lifted his face right against her left ear. "Woman, what's your name?"

Thinking that this wasn't the right time to ask nonsense questions like this, she shook her head a bit. "That's not important right now." She shivered when the guy leaned more to her, his breath fanning and lips pressed against her ear. He grabbed her by her right shoulder and pulled her closer.

"Tell me your name." Mikan sensed the slight desperation in his voice and decided to give in to his request.

"Mikan. Mikan Sakura."

And that's how her name got imprinted in his life forever.
