Breathe.

It's not a hard thing to do. Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and build up the courage. Mikan held onto the letter the words Dear Ruka scribbled on the front of it in red writing. It had took her a long time to write this one letter. She kept on beginning to write it and then deciding to toss it in the bin. She didn't want to seem too desperate.

If he got that across from the letter then she'd never be able to face him again. She wasn't being desperate. She was hoping that her crush, who she had loved ever since she first saw him, would return her feelings. She was praying that this time luck would be on her side. She could already see him. He stepped out of his car stepping, looking out towards the place he'd be stuck in for the following 6 hours.

Mikan was about to melt. She could feel her feelings going crazy. This was the perfect time to tell him. He wasn't surrounded by anybody. He was finally alone. When Mikan had planned to confess to her crush before he'd always be surrounded by his notorious fan club or his friends. Mikan didn't really want to confess her feelings to them as well. If the fan club found out that Mikan was in love with Ruka she'd be ripped to shreads. She'd be on the 'loser' list. If that were to happen she'd face the rest of school in hell.

She scrunched the side of the letter. Come on. It's not hard. It will take two seconds. Mikan had a really bad feeling. At that point in time, she wasn't so sure what it was. But she knew it wasn't good. But even so, she stepped out of her hiding place, and walked with her head down to where Ruka was standing. She was so shy that she didn't open her eyes. She scrunched them so tight and thrust the letter in front of her crush. It was now or never.

"I love you!" she shouted.

There was a short silence where Mikan contemplated whether it was really a good idea to tell him this so openly. What if other people heard her outburst? Their might have been a few that did but would they really give a toss about her? Ruka seemed to be taking along time to reply. This made Mikan worried. Maybe he was so shocked that he had lost his voice? Had she seriously done that to him? She opened her eyes and looked up at the man she thought was Nogi Ruka.

Crimson. That was the first thing she saw. Beautiful orbs of gleaming crimson that did not belong to Ruka. She gulped. This man was not the one she loved. Ruka was the one beside him. So there had been someone with him after all. He must have been in the car and Mikan hadn't noticed him. She bit her lip. What a stupid mistake to make. She didn't even know who this person was. He was a complete stranger. But this stranger, god was he handsome. Ruka smiled nudging the stranger.

"It seems you've got yourself an admirer," he grinned.

No. That was not supposed to happen. Ruka had got it wrong. It clearly said on the letter Dear Ruka not Dear whatever. Who was he anyway? She hadn't seen him around before. She quickly hid the letter behind her back hoping to get away before the one she had accidentally confessed to started to question her. She smiled innocently as she began to take small steps back as she turned around ready to run. But he had stopped her. She looked at the crimson one. He had the largest smirk on his face she had ever seen. She did not like the look of this guy. Not one bit.

"So, what's your name?" he asked.

That was what she wanted to know. She couldn't just tell him that actually she confessed to the wrong person and she was head over heels for Ruka. It was not something she could say anymore. It seems she had lost her freedom of speech. She didn't answer his question as she tried to get out of his grasp. He was definitely irritating her now. He was going to let go of her.

"Get off!" she screamed wacking him away from her.

Natsume looked at her slightly confused. But a hint of a smirk still played on his lips.

"Her name's Sakura Mikan, I believe," Ruka told the stranger.

Mikan could have gone crazy then with sheer happiness. But then she reminded herself that this was not the place or time to be squealing over him. If she made a wrong move then God knows what her life would be like from that point on.

"You like me, huh, Mikan?" he questioned.

She did not like how he said her name. This was not good. He already assumed that she was in love with him. She had to do something. She just had to state the obvious.

She shook her head and hoped that what she was about to say now wouldn't land her in deep shit later.

"No, I didn't mean to confess to you. I love..."

She looked at Ruka the courage she had earlier slowly starting to disappear. She couldn't do it any longer. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. But she hadn't noticed that she accidentally dropped her love letter.

Just from that small mistake, her life was going to become so much like hell.

"You are such an idiot," Mikan's best friend, Hotaru, rolled her eyes at her.

As soon as Mikan had escaped from Ruka and the stranger she rushed to where she knew her best friend's Hotaru and Yuu would be. They were always in the classroom talking about nothing in particular. She knew that they both wouldn't be so sympathetic about it. Mikan agreed entirely with what Hotaru was saying. She was an idiot.

"I didn't see that other guy in the car!" Mikan hit her head with her bag in annoyance.

Hotaru rolled her eyes. But Mikan was being plain thick here. Even Yuu had noticed that she no longer had the letter with her. Knowing Mikan she had probably left it. Yuu was so right. Mikan remembered about the letter hoping that it was still safe and not ruined. She looked through her bag thinking that it would be somewhere in there. But it wasn't, she could not find it at all. Now she was freaking out.

"Oh my freaking gosh," she panicked, "I lost the letter!"

Yuu gaped at her while Hotaru snorted.

Where could it be? It could be anywhere. It could have been blown away by the wind or someone could have picked it up. The worry that was most going through Mikan's head was the thought that someone else could have read it. Like that Crimson-eyed stranger for example. She stood up as Yuu tried to calm her down.

"Mikan, calm down! Nobody could have read it yet!" Yuu tried to reassure her.

Mikan took a deep breath. She had to find it now. If she didn't she'd go insane until the bell for the end of school. She grabbed her bag informing her friends that she was going to look for it as she rushed out of the classroom. She expected that it might still be at the front of school. But she'd definitely be looking for ages. She'd just have to do it. It was either that or get humiliated by the whole school. She was sure that if anyone would read they'd tell everyone they could find.

She searched high and low as time ticked by. But she couldn't seem to find it. All her effort had been in vain. After several months of simply staring at Ruka she had decided she was going to tell him. Now this happened. Her life was over. She sighed and collapsed on the floor. She tore the grass out with her fingers as she found herslef close to tears. Why was she crying? Was she really so afraid that people would find out?

Only Yuu and Hotaru knew about her crush. They were the ones who made her realise it. As soon as she saw those clear blue eyes, she instantly fell in love with them. He was her prince. She had always fantasised what it would be like to be with him. She now sounded like a crazy stalker.

She stretched her arms and sat up to look for the letter again. She heard footsteps from behind her as she turned around to see the one from this morning who she had mistaken for her crush. She had hoped never to see him again. But here he was waving something in front of her face. Realisation hit her. She could clearly see her handwriting on the front. He had hit. This stranger had it. She stood up as she looked at his grinning face.

"Looking for this?" he enquired.

She tried to grab for it but the attempt was futile. Everytime she tried he would take a step back in a rather playful way. He was almost teasing her. No, he was teasing her. And it seemed like he was enjoying it. Mikan couldn't take anymore of this stupidity.

"Give it back!" she reached for it again.

He shook his head, pretending to be thinking and bluntly answered, "Huh, no."

She couldn't understand why he was being so stubborn. It wasn't any of his business. He just seemed to love to torment people. How could she have confessed to this sort of guy? What an idiot! She put her hands on her hips, fed up.

He finally stood still a grin appearing on his face, "I will give you back this letter in one condition."

Mikan looked at him with curiosity, "What?"

He smirked at her, "Become my servant."

Those words came crashing down on Mikan like a ton of bricks. She couldn't believe what he was asking of her. She wasn't sure what was important to her. Her pride or her feelings. He was toying with her feelings. He knew that she was in love with Ruka and he could use that to his advantage. But Mikan knew that she cared more about people not finding out the truth. She would just have to last through this. That's if she could. The Crimson stranger had already realised that she wouldn't go against his request to begin with. He had her in the palm of his hand.

He smirked, "I'm Hyuuga Natsume, nice to meet you, Mikan."

She recognised his name. She might not have seen him around before but his name was too familiar. He was famous. He was Ruka's best friend and the principal's son. But to make it worse he was known as 'The Charming Devil'. He definitely lived up to his name.
