Author's Note
Hello there! This is a new fan fiction from me, entitled "Stupid Cupid". I would like to thank LITTLEDOGGY and CUTEGABRIELLE16 for helping me out. The following movies/show I am writing down now were my inspirations to write this fan fiction.
1.) Hello Dolly – it's an old movie but it really reminded me of Mikan and Natsume.
2.) Princess Diaries – um, one part there gave me the title.
3.) Valentine's Day – Hehe. That's what this fan fic is all about!
4.) Kamichu – It's an anime. I watched a bit of it on Animax and I found it cute, although I don't know how it inspired me in any matter
5.) Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne – I love this anime to the bones and it inspired me!!!!
Someone from the audience: Shut your mouth and get on with the fan fic!

I own nothing but these words

Heaven is always peaceful. It was situated at the most peaceful place in the sky. It was a gigantic silver palace concealed in mist. The windows were long and wide and the garden was lush with flowers of various species and crystal clear water flowed out of the gold fountains. Golden trees were inhabited by the most beautiful birds that showed off their vividly coloured feathers as they perched on golden trees. The inside of Heaven's palace was as beautiful. The staircase was gold and the chandelier glimmered with every jewel known. The marble floor was unusually shiny. You could see your own reflection and everything was so breathtaking.
The description of Heaven may seem overwhelming, but within the palace were the humblest creatures who did nothing but respect the authority of Kami-sama.
They flew through Heaven's corridors, and they were separated according to their assignments.
For example, there were the Head Angels. They managed and guided the younger angels.
Then there were the Guardian Angels, who were assigned to one human being to guide and serve them.
There were also the Little Angels, who served as Kami-sama's servants and helped in the blooming of flowers, the flowing of water and the change from Winter to Spring.
There were the Shinigami, or the Angels of Death who would pick up good souls and bring them to where they deserved, Heaven. There were also Shinigami in hell, but that's a different story.
At a certain season, there were the Love Angels or what humans would call – 'Cupids'. They would around late December to train for their work in February. During the rest of the year, they would assist the Little Angels on making flowers bloom, but right now – it was time to move their butts and make people fall in love!
One of the Cupids was Sakura Mikan.
Mikan wasn't the type of cupid whom you'd compliment on her fantastic job on bringing a couple together. She was the type whom you'd reprimand because she would ruin a relationship. She disappointed the head angels so much that they were considering transferring her to Janitor Duty, in other words – take away her bow and arrow and hand her a mop to clean the rooms of Heaven with.
But no, Sakura Mikan refused to give up. She would do her best and go to Target Practice and even go to the library to study on love potions and witchcraft. Well, her hard work did pay off and she actually improved. Well, only a teeny-weeny bit.
XOXOXOXOXOXOX
"Where is that troublesome cupid?!" yelled Anna and Nonoko as they paced around the corridor thinking where the heck Mikan went off to. She had disappeared right after breakfast. No one had seen her since. And on her Assignment Day too!
"Jeez, I can't believe she disappeared again!! What's with her?" Anna said, as the two of them checked each chamber of Heaven.
"Isn't she in the library?"
"Nah. I checked already"
"Kami-sama is waiting!! He is the only one who could permit her to go to Earth!"
"MIKAN-CHAN!!!" Nonoko yelled. Anna put her hand on Nonoko's lips.
"Keep quiet or else we'll get in trouble with the head angels for shouting in the corridors!"
"Oh right! Gomen!"
Well, Mikan was just in the garden – minding her own world.
"Can you believe it, little tori?! I'm going to get my first assignment today!! Isn't that great?" the brunette said, having a conversation with one of the birds in the garden. The bird just stared at her and continued pecking at a fruit from a tree.
"Why don't you reply?" Mikan grunted, poking the bird's wing. The bird chirped violently and flew off.
"Don't get mad!! I was just… oh, hi Nonoko-chan, Anna-chan!"
"Mikan-chan, you can't go down to Earth if you didn't get permission from Kami-sama! You know, you can't just go to the staircase of Heaven and walk down to Earth!! It's against the rules!" Nonoko said
"Gomenasai!" Mikan said as the two angels took her hands and brought her to the chamber of Kami-sama.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
"Kami-sama, we have brought Sakura Mikan from the Cupid section" Nonoko and Anna said in unison. They curtsied curtsied respectfully before Kami-sama and made way for Mikan.
"Huh? I'm supposed to go in now?" Mikan grinned sheepishly.
"Yes!" Nonoko whispered a rather very loud whisper and Mikan walked towards the ray of light…well, she didn't actually walked – she tripped and stumbled
"Oops! Gomen!" Mikan said, picking herself up.
"That's alright, Mikan" Kami-sama said. Mikan was fascinated that she was actually talking to the ruler of the universe and she moved closer to the ray of light.
"You are going to get your first assignment today!"
"Ooohh! Yay!" Mikan said, clapping her hands. The rest of the angels who were watching shushed her. Mikan stopped and apologized.
"This will be a very important job for you. You have to get a girlfriend for Natsume Hyuuga"
"Yay!!" Mikan squealed again. And it was followed by a 'shush' from the other angels.
"The staircase shall lead you to him and his family's residence. Here's the name of the girl which you will make Natsume fall in love with"
The ray of light beamed down a piece of parchment. Mikan took it and read it. But unfortunately the name was slightly blurred and smudged.
"Excuse me, Kami-sama but then…"
The ray of light disappeared and a golden staircase appeared before her.
"Goodbye, Mikan!! We'll see you soon!!" Anna and Nonoko waved, ignoring the 'shushing' angels behind them.
"Demo, the name ---- it's…it's…" Mikan said, as the other angels lead her down the staircase.
"WHAT?" Anna and Nonoko yelled, beckoning her to speak louder.
"THE NAME IS BLURRED!" Mikan screamed.
"Goodbye, Mikan-chan!!" the two of them screamed and with that, she entered earth.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Mikan soon found herself in front of a gigantic mansion built with a European design. Night had fallen and stars sparkled above her. She examined the mansion carefully and noticed that there were security cameras everywhere. Could humans see her?
She shrugged after a few minutes of thinking and jumped over the red brick wall. She clutched her bow and arrows and tiptoed as silently as possible.
This Natsume must be a very important person. Mikan thought as she tiptoed through along the long driveway. There was a fountain in the middle of the driveway and lush green trees that led to different paths. There were floor lights on the lawn and long stalks of foreign looking flowers. They were not as pretty as the ones in Heaven, Mikan said to herself and continued walking.
All of a sudden, she stepped on something. She looked and saw it was some kind of security device.
INTRUDER ALERT… INTRUDER ALERT…
Mikan got off the security as those mechanical words were uttered. She heard dogs barking.
"Oh God, what have I got into?" she thought to herself and ran to the mansion as fast as possible. She found herself surrounded by Dobermans and Police Dogs who were growling at her as if she were a robber. Saliva dripped out of their hungry looking mouths and their fangs shined in the moonlight. They growled as if they were saying: You look delicious!
Mikan backed away and started running out of the mansion. "AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" she screamed. And the dogs' barks got more vicious as she ran.
Don't be scared, Mikan…don't be scared…
Much to her dismay, she found herself cornered in a dark corner by sinister-looking dogs. She was cornered by the sinister looking dogs. She wanted to go back to heaven. Some job this is. Are the angels trying to kill me or something? She wondered. Before she could answer her thoughts the dogs lunged at her and started tearing her clothes apart.
Her pink cupid dress was torn in half and her boots were pulled out. The ribbons on her hair were ripped apart. They bit her arms and legs so hard that blood trickled down her thighs. They bit her wings too and it was the most painful because she felt the delicate feathers tear from the skin. It was excruciating.
She was about to fall) unconscious when she saw a light come from the balcony above. She kicked out the dogs who were now finishing her up and mustered up the very last of her strength and focused on flapping her wings. She flew up and landed on the balcony. She sat on the balcony floor, half naked and sighed. She stared at her bleeding hands and legs and twitched in pain.
"Wait, I think I forgot something outside" a voice said. She saw the curtains of the sliding door which lead to the open balcony and it revealed the bedroom of a young boy about her age. His hair was black and his eyes were the most auburn as she ever seen. He slid open the sliding door and walked outside, not noticing her.
He picked up something from the table. That's when he saw the blood legs of Mikan's bloody legs lying conspicuously on the floor. Mikan trembled. A boy her age had just noticed her, and she was HALF-NAKED too!!!
The boy moved and stared at Mikan for quite sometime. He examined every inch of her as Mikan covered herself up with the last bits of her dress. Did she look scary with all the blood? Or…
He boy turned around and walked back into the room without a word.
"DAD!!!! THERE'S A NAKED MORON OUTSIDE MY BALCONY!!!
What?
Moron?
