Love me back, Idiot!

I gazed on the wall in front of me after I had just woken up from my sleep. I turned my head around almost not recognizing the baby pink painted ceiling, the formal decorated windows with light blue curtains and pink carpet on the ground.
I focused my eyes on the stuff toys placed on one side, there were all sorts of them ranging from tiniest to the biggest, from pink to blue, to green. It was obvious I had a certain obsession on stuff toys. I was on my room all right, my queen-sized room.
I slightly whined when my head started to ache again.
"Damn it! I shouldn't have gone drinking with Hotaru!" I cursed remembering how late I had come home.
It was past 11 o'clock in the morning when I finally stepped out of my big comfy bed.
I didn't bother fix my bed, after all, what's the use of more or less 100 maids? Yes, I'm not exaggerating. My family is known to be the wealthiest among Japan. I had my every need attended, my every will, every decision followed, I was living the life of a princess as what I'm told by many.
--Normal Point of View--
"Good Morning Miss." A girl with long black haired tied in a bun appeared before her. Her dress was all light blue with ruffles on the edges. She was one of the most trusted, private helpers in Mikan's mansion.
Her name was Kori and she has been serving Mikan's family for six years.
"It's not really a nice morning for me." Mikan said but managed to smile at her though she felt her head was going to blow any minute.
She was address as Miss as what she had preferred. It was either that or madam.
"Are you all right Miss? Shall I call your personal doctor?" Kori worriedly asked her when she noticed that Mikan's face seemed to be in pain.
"Yes. I'm alright, no need to worry." She tried to make her smile even more convincing and in the process made her head spin even more.
"Are you sure?" She insisted. The look on Mikan's face didn't quite assist in persuading Kori.
"Yes. By the way where is Yoichi?" She tried changing the topic. Kori could be pretty persistent sometimes.
"Oh, young master? He's currently at school now." She informed her.
"I forgot, today is a school day." Mikan pondered. It wasn't like she didn't care about school. She just believes not all the things being discussed by the teacher can actually be applied in real life. I mean, duh? Why would she have to study about the how big the sun is or how far is it. It's not like she was planning on being an astronomer. Her future was pretty planned out already. After her graduation, she'll have to manage their company. She was following his father's footsteps. Frankly, she didn't want where her life was leading.
Kori however was not surprised at all by Mikan's reaction and instead she only smiled; sometimes she thinks Mikan is taking things too easy.
Mikan slowly entered the elevator. She was so rich that their house has elevators.
It slowly opened revealing some busy people. Some were decorating the vases with fresh flowers, and some were changing the curtains. If she didn't know any better she'd say it was her birthday. Wait, was she forgetting her own birthday? Oh, that's right. Big no!
"What's the occasion?" Mikan asked one of their helpers who was busy wiping off a vase with imaginary dust.
"Good morning Miss. Today master will be coming home." She bowed down in respect.
Mikan's face turned pale. Master... Her dad! She was beginning to have bad feelings about this!
"What? Is he coming today?" Panic spread across Mikan's face.
"Oh no! I'm gonna be busted if dad sees I'm not in school!" She quickly thought as she entered the kitchen. Of all night to go drinking, why did she picked yesterday's?
She took the piece of bread Ren, another one of her private maid, prepared for her.
"Oh shot! I forgot I haven't taken a bath yet!" She ran back to the living room where the nearest elevator was with the piece of bread in her mouth.
This was not her lucky day, she thought. Before she could come any near, she accidentally tripped. She closed her eyes, shock and afraid of meeting the hard floor when a strong, firm hand managed to caught her just in time.
Mikan was so relief and looked up to see who this savior of hers was.
From being relief, her face turned something awful, shock and terrified. There was not a perfect word on the dictionary to describe the look on her face.
"Da- Dad!" She managed to say before she stiffened. Busted!
"Mikan? Aren't you supposed to be in school?" Mr. Sakura asked her with confusion. He was still in his business suit.
Because of the many businesses he has to manage, he often has to go abroad or some place far for meetings and stuff. He just arrived from a conference in America.
"Ahm, you see- ahm, it's because…" Her heart was pounding loudly and sweat started to trail down her cheeks.
"Quick! Think of an excuse!" She squeezed her mind for any bright idea but apparently it's not supposed to function until noon.
"Well?" Her dad waited with a raise eyebrow.
"Ahm." She couldn't think of any excuse. Stupid brain of mine!
Instead she continued to play with her fingers giving away the fact that she was guilty. She looked down and realized she was still in her crumpled pajamas.
"Mikan!" His voice was like thunder to the frightened Mikan. He rarely used 'the big voice'.
"I'm sorry dad. I woke up late this morning. I promise this won't happen again!" She bowed down.
His father sighed. This wasn't the first time this happened and talking to her was useless. How many times did he reprimand her? She would just keep quiet and act like an obedient puppy but the next day she's back to parties and mischief again.
"Very well then..." He said in a normal tone after taking a big, deep breath. Being a dad of a sixteen year old girl is not easy, he figured that out a couple of years ago, just when Mikan hit puberty.
He patted Mikan on the head as a sign that she was forgiven, how could he not? Mikan was her angel plus she resembles her late wife who died due to an accident.
"Thanks dad." She smiled as she gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.
"But I'm warning you. I'm going to do something about this." He said with a serious voice.
Mikan only nodded as she hurried to the elevator before her dad starts saying crazy talk like he will cut her credit card, or she's grounded for her whole, entire life.

"Hi Mikan!" Anna greeted her when she arrived during lunchtime. She twirled around like a ballerina and tiptoed. Somebody's in a good mood.
"Hi Anna!" She greeted her back though her face was opposite of Anna's. She was stomping all the way to her classroom thanks to her dad.
"What's the matter idiot?" Her genius friend asked her, the book she was reading was blocking her view.
A vein popped on her head although she being insulted by Hotaru was one of the routines she was used to but it doesn't mean she likes it.
"I have you know that my IQ has INCREASED!" She blurted out proud.
"Really?" She put down her book and raised a brow.
"Yes!" She crossed her arms, showing how proud she was of her achievement. All right, so maybe she was lying. She didn't even know her IQ, how much more if it has increased or what? She didn't care about those little details. She likes to think she's the type of girl who sees the big picture of life.
"Oh, you mean from 10 it became 10.1?" She asked mockingly.
"Hahaha, very funny!" Mikan let out a fake laugh. Just because her best friend was a genius doesn't give her the right to call her names, most specially 'idiot'.
"C'mon guys, stop fighting!" Nonoko said who was just listening. Her eyes droopy because of her lack of sleep.
"Yah! Let's stop fighting Hotaru. I'm not in the mood. And it's not fair you went to school this morning! Why was I the only one who got a major headache?" She complained.
"Why blame us? You're the one who lost control last night." Hotaru replied.
"We went to school this morning, so what? At least you got to sleep a little. I still see two of myself every time I look in the mirror." Nonoko complained back.
"So what? My dad just came home from his business trip this morning, FYI." She said. She didn't have to tell the rest because Anna's speculation hit the bull's eye.
"And you got caught didn't you?" Anna guessed.
"Yes. My dad found out I didn't go to school but he didn't much asked why." Mikan informed them.
"Don't worry Mikan. At least he didn't found out that we went drinking last night." Nonoko tried to cheer her up.
"But still! Ahh! I'm scared.!" She shouted. Mikan and fear don't get along too well.
"Why? He didn't catch you drinking right?" Hotaru asked her.
"Yah but he said he's gonna do something!" She said almost sobbing.
"You should have just rented a boarding house. That way no one would bother you" Nonoko suggested.
"Yah, or better yet, why don't you just build a house near our school." Anna agreed.
"Idiots! Do you think his dad would allow that? Remember she's the only daughter of the richest man and heir to their company. What if she gets kidnapped or something?" The genius told them.
They continued their chit chats along the way.
"Hi Mikan!"
"Mikan!"
"Would you go on a date with me?"
These were only few of the screams they heard when they were passing along the corridor of Alice Academy College.
"Get lost losers!" Mikan snob them.
"Why don't you pick one of them Mikan?" Anna asked her.
"They're not really losers you know? Their also the heirs of some big company." Nonoko reminded her. Hotaru just remained quiet.
"I know that but - -…" Mikan stopped because of shock when a young man appeared in front of her.
"What do you want Ruka?" Mikan asked him dryly.
He was one of her suitors, well, not exactly suitor coz' she never did accept him. He was just another annoying, rich boy who kept following her.
"C'mon Mikan. You know very well what I want." Ruka said and flash a big and seductive smile.
"Oh Please! You know that I don't like you." She told him and continued walking.
When she passed by him he whispered something to her.
"I will have you no matter what Mikan." He whispered.

It was exactly 9 when Mikan arrived. She was drop off by Hotaru's car. She didn't have her own private escort coz' she didn't want anyone following her everywhere she goes. She wanted to have her own privacy, something that's hard to obtain when you're the richest girl.
"Miss, your dad had been looking for you." Kori informed her with worries.
"Oh no! I completely forgot he was here!" Mikan slapped her forehead.
She started running to the elevator, hoping her dad wouldn't catch her. She continued pressing the button when a small voice stopped her.
"Mik-Mik!" Someone called her. She knew who it was, with that tiny yet sweet voice. He was the only one who called her that.
"Yoich!" She faced her little brother with a big, bright smile. She gave him a tight hug.
She missed him especially because she'd been busy hanging out with Hotaru.
"Dad's home." He informed me. Although there was no emotion in his voice she could see that he was indeed happy. He was only six years old and innocence was written all over his face. He looks like an angel but behind his angelic face is a little boy full of tricks but basically he's still harmless. He's a little bit rude to those people he didn't like, well, to most people even to Anna and Nonoko. Hotaru was an exeption due to Yoichi's fear on her.
"Yes. I know." Mikan replied.
"Will he be staying long? He didn't come to my birthday party last year." He slightly looked down. Maybe he wanted to emphasize how he's dad has been busy and don't have enough time for them and Yoichi was really looking forward to seeing their dad again in his birthday. They never did care about it that much though coz' their mom makes up for every misses his dad makes. But when their mother died all the two had where each other. His dad became busier maybe because he wanted to forget for a moment about her mother.
"Mikan!"
"Oh No!" She thought. She did not dare look on where the voice was coming from...
"Where have you been?" His father asked him. Mikan was a bit relief that he didn't sound half angry with her.
"I was with Hotaru." She explained. She took a big breath, ready to defend herself. She was scared of his dad most of the times but then there were this moment when a spirit suddenly possessed her and she acts brave.
"That's it young lady! I'm going to hire you a bodyguard." His father decided.
Mikan was shock.
"No! I don't want to!" She shouted in her mind.
"But dad!" She tried to tell him it wasn't necessary but he wouldn't even let her talk. How was she supposed to reason out?
"Don't try me Mikan!" He warned her.
"Daddy…" Yoichi spoke tugging the hemp of his suit.
"Go to sleep Yoichi. Kori put him to bed." He commanded the girl who was just standing on one corner.
"I have already hired him and he's here." Her father told her. His voice sounded so firm.
"What? Please give me another chance." She pleaded. Having a bodyguard would totally ruin her privacy. She didn't want anyone to know her private life and follow and defend her like the clumsy girl she is.
"He's a top agent Mikan. I've hired him specially for you." He smiled a bit like he was talking about someone he's fond of.
"Dad please don't…" Mikan tried pleading again.
He didn't pay any attention to her.
"I have instructed him and he is to follow you everywhere. I have given him the right to disobey with you on some occasion. Aside from being your guard, he will also drive your car." He said as he walked towards her.
"But dad…" Mikan tried protesting again.
"Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't hire a body guard for you." Her dad challenged her.
"Well, what about my privacy? What if that guy rapes me?" She tried to reason.
"On the contrary, he is a professional agent I've hired. I have known him for a very long time and I have observed his works. He's like my second son." He told her.
Mikan remained silent.
"Please understand Mikan. With you always coming home late and going on parties or where ever you are always 'hanging out', I must do some precautions to protect you. You are my daughter, the daughter of the richest man in Japan. Don't forget your life is always on the line." He told her.
Mikan only nodded while fighting the tears that were starting to form in her bright eyes.
His dad took this nod as a sign of agreement over her daughter.
"Don't worry Mikan, he's quite handsome." He told her with a smile on his face as he signaled the man that was standing on the front door to come in.
Mikan turned around over his father's action. She didn't notice this man entered the room.
"This is agent Hyuuga, Natsume Hyuuga." He told her.
Mikan looked at the man that was approaching her. His messy raven hair perfectly matched his crimson eyes. He was a bit taller than her. Judging from the way he looked at them, he was a serious type of guy, maybe. He was wearing a casual shirt and pants. And a pistol was place on the side of his belt.
"I'm Natsume Hyuuga." He said formally extending his hand for a handshake.
Mikan took it and said, "I'm Mikan."
His dad smiled, said a word or two and left them.
Mikan was feeling ackward over the silence.
"Geez, doesn't he know how to talk?" Mikan thought. She was still ogling at him.
He's hot! Maybe having a bodyguard won't be that bad, especially if that certain bodyguard is Natsume Hyuuga.
"Well, ahm… Goodnight then sir." She bid him.
"Goodnight to you too Mik-Mik." He smirked as he went out the room.
Mikan's blood pressure rose. Was this guy insulting her or something? Judging by his tone, he did. Yoichi was the only one who could call her that. It's kinda embarrassing so Yoichi being a kid has an excuse but this Natsume was certainly provoking her. He was certainly mocking her!
To think she actually thought he was hot!
"Just you wait, Natsume Hyuuga. I'll make sure you won't last a week." She thought and smiled over the plans she's thinking.
To be continued…

Aiyen's Note: Chapter 1 is finally done. I'm sorry if Mikan is not her typical, nice, and innocent self. She is nice but then I decided to make her a bit more aggresive. But Natsume is still his cool and perverted self.
