I used to be LifeMusicLove, but I resently changed my name to my current name; Ai Moltres! I hope you won't notice to many grammar- or spelling mistakes! Please review and tell me what you think! Any suggestions for the story is more than welcome! The title is under progress, so I'm not sure if I will stick with it. Well, here is the introduction and the first chapter of My Prince Not-Charming!

«Mikan, hunny! It's time to wake up! »

I heard my mother's voice from the kitchen.

"I'm already up, mother!" I shouted back to her.

"Breakfast in ten minutes!"

My name is Mikan Sakura Yukihara. I live in Kyoto, together with my parents and my dog. My father, Izumi, is a very tall and handsome man. He has short, straight hair and is always cheerful and kind. I can't think of a better father. My father is an engineer. My mother, Yuka, is really beautiful. She has straight, silky brown hair. My father has told me that she cut it really short when she was pregnant with me and kept it that way ever since. She is also very stubborn, so I guess I got that from her. My mother is an artist. She writes music and stories. My dog, Aki, is three years old. I got him three years ago, when he was only six weeks old. I named him Aki because I got him during the autumn and he loves to play in the sparkling water. He is also very bright, for a dog to be. He always understands when I'm sad and is always able to cheer me up. He's my very best friend!

I go to the public school just 2 kilometers away. I have two best friends there, Anna and Hiroto. Anna is a very sweet girl, but very shy. Her pink hair is shoulder-length. She is also really good at cooking; she often makes cookies for Hiroto and me. Hiroto is a really stupid, normal teenage boy. He jokes around, makes trouble all the time and is never serious. He loves to eat, but works out a lot! He often invites Anna and me to join his gym. He has these gift cards, so he can bring a friend to join for a week. I come with him sometimes, when I feel bad for how much I eat. Anna never comes along; she says she rather go home and practice cooking.

"Hunny, we have some news to tell you."

"What is it, father?" I looked at my mother, but she only smiled at me. I took a bite of my pancakes before I looked back at dad.

"Our high school friends are coming over for the weekend. They will use the two guestrooms." My father started.

"That's nice."

"Their son, Natsume-kun, is your age. We were wondering if you could show him around and keep him company, so he doesn't get lost. It's his first time here, so he could get lost... Even in our small town."

"Sure, that's okay. From Friday to Sunday?" I asked.

"Yes." My mother responded. "It is okay with you, right?"

"Yeah, of course. But I also need to study for my test on Monday. I don't need to keep him company all the time, right?"

"Yes, that's alright of course. They'll probably be here when you come home from school on Friday. Don't worry, time will fly!" My mother got up and went over to the sink, taking hers and my father's plate with her.

"Great."

"Hey, Anna. How are you today?"

"I'm great, how about you, Mikan?"

"Hmm… I'm great, too." I smiled to her. "Isn't that great?" We both started laughing.

Hiroto came running shouting out our names and that we should wait for him. We stopped, and when he reaches us, he bent down, holding his hands on his knees and breathed heavily. We just laughed at him.

"What are you two doing this weekend?" He asked, after we started walking again.

"I have to help my mother finish the planning of her party on Friday, attend on Saturday and clean up on Sunday." Anna sighed. She's really sick of helping her mother with her parties.

"Oh, I was hoping you two would join me for a work out and then a movie." Hiroto started to complain.

"Sorry, I can't either. My parents' old friends are coming over, and I need to keep their son company."

Hiroto looked at me suspiciously. "Hmm, son, you say? How old?"

Anna giggled and I responded with a laugh. "Hiroto, drop the big brother act! I'm not interested in any guy at the moment" I paused and Anna grinned at me. "His name is Natsume, and he is the same age as us."

"Have you met him before, Mikan?" Anna asked. I shook my head and we walked in silence for a while, before Hiroto started to talk about how he was hoping for Anna's cookies for lunch. Anna and I giggled, before Anna started to give Hiroto a speech about how he needs to eat both bread and rice and not just cookies and cakes. We walked towards the school, Anna talking, me listening and Hiroto trying to stop Anna from talking.

"I'm home!" I shouted when I entered the front door, Friday afternoon. I heard barking and Aki came running towards me. I bent down and hugged him.

"Hey, Aki! How are you? Did you miss me?" He licked my cheek and I couldn't stop the laugh.

"Hey hunny. Come inside and meet our guests. We're in the living room." I heard mother say.

"I'm coming, mother." I took off my shoes and my jacked and put them in the closet before walking towards the living room with Aki right beside me. "Hello. I'm Mikan." I introduced myself to the three people in our couch and bowed.

"Hello, Mikan-chan. It's so nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you, but you probably don't remember me. Last time we met, you and Natsume was only a few years old." She smiled and took a glance at the young clad beside her. "My name is Kaoru Hyuuga and this is my husband, Ioran, and my son, Natsume." Kaoru-san was really beautiful. She had long, black hair and fire-red eyes. She also had long legs. I can see on her face that she is a kind and caring person. Her husband, Ioran-san, was a bit plainer. He was tall and had grey hair in a ponytail. His eyes were blue. Their son on the other hand, was a lot like his mother. His short raven black hair was messy and his eyes were just like Kaoru-san's. He was really handsome; I bet most girls swoon over him. His right ear had a gold earring, a plate with a dragon. He didn't look too happy. He didn't look anything. ... More like emotionless.

"Nice to meet all of you." I smiled.

"I should go make dinner. Mikan, why don't you show Natsume-kun around outside?"

"Sure. I'm taking Aki on a walk; do you want to join me, Natsume-kun?" Everyone looked at him, but he just stood up and looked at me, before going to the door and started to change form slippers to shoes. Kaoru-san smiled a bit apologizing to me, and I smiled back and shaking my head like saying "It's okay".

"I'll help you with the dinner, Yuka!" Kaoru also got up with my mother and they walked to the kitchen talking. I walked over to Natsume and slipped on my shoes.

"Come on, Aki! Let's go!"

Aki barked and came running. I opened the door and Aki ran out. I walked outside and Natsume just followed. He closed the door after him, and we started to follow after Aki.

"So… What do you want to see? I can take you anywhere." I smiled at Natsume, trying to make a conversation.

"I don't know what there is to see here."

"Oh, well. I'll just take you around then." I smiled. I talked and pointed at different things, telling a few sentences about each one. He listened, but never said anything.

We walked for a half hour, my voice was the only one heard.

"And that is the path to the pool. Only 15 minutes' walk." I looked at him uncertain, and I only saw him looking at the path I just pointed to.

"Am I boring you?" I felt a bit frustrated, since he didn't say a word at all.

He looked at me. "No."

"Why don't you talk? You're so quiet."

"I've been listening."

"Are you tired? Do you want to go back?"

We looked at each other for a few seconds, and when he opened his mouth to speak, my cell phone rang.

"I'm so sorry, just on minute."

I got out my phone and looked at the caller ID.

"Hey Hiroto."

"Hey Mikan. What's up?"

"I thought I told you I was busy all weekend. I can't meet up with you."

"I know... I just wanted to check how you're doing? Is that guy bothering you?"

"I'm fine, and no. We're taking Aki for a walk at the moment. I need to go, bye."

I hang up without waiting for a reply.

"Sorry."

"It's okay. You don't need to decline your boyfriend for me, you know."

I was really surprised when he said that. That is the most I've heard him say.

"Wait… boyfriend? Haha, No way. Hiroto is nothing but a friend."

"I didn't know that friends call you to ask if your company is bothering you..."

"You heard that? I'm sorry; it's just that he loves to take the big brother role."

"Hm."

"Let's go back, it's probably dinner soon."

He didn't say anything, just started to walk again after I called Aki, who was a bit down the road ahead.

"So, tell me about yourself." I meant it as a suggestion, so I started to worry if it sounded wrong.

"I like to read." He interrupted my thoughts.

"Really? Me too. What kind of books do you like?"

"Manga, mostly."

"I see."

"There you two are! Dinner is ready very soon!" My mother said through the window when she saw us coming up the yard. "I hope you two are hungry!" I smiled at her and nodded.

We sat down at the dinner table with all the different dishes in front of us. With my mother saying how much she hoped everyone liked it, we started to put food on our plates and the adults started to talk. I took a few glances at Natsume once in a while. He didn't do anything but to concentrate on eating. I was included in the conversation with the adults sometimes. After dinner, I helped my mother with the dishes while the Hyuugas went to their rooms to get ready for the evening. I went upstairs and changed to my pajamas, too. I went downstairs again and into the kitchen to find my father. The two of us always make hot chocolate with cream on Friday nights while my mother bakes some really good brownies. Friday is our movie night. The Hyuugas joined us for the movies, even though Natsume went upstairs after two movies. I sat together with the adults a few more hours before I felt sleepy, and excused myself. I went upstairs and just when I passed the bathroom, Natsume came out of it.

"Hey." I said, pretty surprised.

"Hey." He replied.

"Are you comfortable with the room? The bed?"

"Yes, thanks."

"Well, goodnight. I hope you sleep well." I walked to my room, the room across the guestroom he is in, and walked inside. I closed the door and went to brush my teeth in my own bathroom before I went to bed.

The next morning, I came downstairs to the kitchen, only in my pajamas. Everyone else was there already. Natsume was just sitting at the end of the table, busy with eating. The four adults looked up and greeted me when I came over to the table and sat down. I greeted them back.

"Mikan, we have something to tell you." My father told me.

"What is it?" I asked as I grabbed some toast.

"It's more like an offer." Ioran-san said.

"Your parents told us about you wanting to study at Alice Academy in Tokyo. Since we live in Tokyo, and Natsume attends that school, we wanted to offer you to come back to Tokyo with us and attend Alice Academy." Kaoru-san told, with a really excited voice.
