Chapter 1 – The Hell Hold, A True Friend
Normal P.O.V.
It was Monday morning.
RING.RING.RING
yawn
A seventeen year old teenage raven-haired slowly stuck his head out of his covers and his hand out to turn off the alarm clock as it rang loudly in his room and into his ears. Not being able to stop the sound the young and handsome raven-haired teen took his small devilish looking kuma-chan plush toy and threw at the alarm clock knocking it off his drawer that it was usually placed on top of.
He slowly covered himself with his blanket tightly. As you can see this teenager is the one and only Natsume Hyuuga.
He lived with his brothers in this house…or rather mansion…that his parents paid for, who are living in the western part of Japan…while he lives in the eastern part. Natsume was as lazy as ever…for a straight A student/genius.
His room was black, including black curtains and everything that screamed out horror and punk. His room was a complete mess. He as you can see by the description is of course a punk and the one of the most popular guys at his school known as Alice Academy.
Natsume slowly forced himself to get out of bed. He then walked to the bathroom and took a very (and I mean VERY) long shower. After he took his shower he changed into his uniform.
Natsume quickly put on his loose tie with open buttons revealing a lot of his muscular chest.
He then ran downstairs and ate a slow breakfast having no care in the world.
"I guess Youichi and Tsubasa left already." Natsume said to himself.
After that he took his back pack that was filled with many chains and buttons of skulls.
He then grabbed his skateboard and went to school.
On the way, he soon realized the teacher he would have for the morning.
"Shit! Frog man is teaching today…" Natsume angrily thought as he gave a loud sigh as he arrived at the entrance of the school gate. Once inside, Natsume went to his locker grabbed his school stuff and skated to class coolly in which he was being admired by some students in the hallways.
Natsume soon noticed a certain brunette leaning against a wall, a music book in hand. She wore a very loose tie like him and also the same type of uniform with his inside uniform shirt unbuttoned but only a button revealing only her collar bone.
Natsume however took a small glance and shrugged then proceeded to the door.
Once he arrived at the front door of his class he skidded to a stop and stepped onto the edge of his skateboard making it fly up into the air in which he grabbed onto it. Natsume however soon felt a pair of eyes watching him as he did so but just shook it off and proceeded to the door.
He opened the sliding door and just walked straight in going to the back of his seat until… he spoke….the devil from hell.
"Ah I see you are late AGAIN Mr.Hyuuga, I hope you won't mind doing detention with me after school AGAIN!" Jinno Sensei grinned as he stared at him, in whom he shot him a death glare and proceeded to his seat, earphones in his ears starring blankly out the window.
Jinno Sensei popped a vein as he continued back to the blackboard writing things down. After he finished a name could be seen on the board.
"Everyone I would like you all to welcome Mikan Sakura to our school, you may now come in Ms.Sakura." Jinno Sensei instructed as a girl walked into the class coolly, music book in her hand but closed.
Soon enough all the boys/girls (weird) gave loud cheers/screams and huge heart eyes appeared on their faces. The commotion was so loud that Natsume took a glance at the girl who was looking directly at him.
Natsume stared into her chocolate orbs getting lost into it. After a while he stared back out the window with little care in the world again.
"Ms.Sakura please sit next to Mr.Hyuuga in the back…Mr.Hyuuga please raise your hand." Jinno Sensei instructed.
Natsume quickly shot him a death glare and shouted, "I'm not being partnered up with her!"
"A very nice idea, please do so after school as your detention." Jinno Sensei
grinned/snickered.
Natsume popped a vein at his little 'idea' as Mikan sat down in the empty seat beside him.
"I'll kill you." Both Natsume and Mikan spoke at the same time leaving the whole class room in a very dangerous and eerie silence.
Jinno Sensei turned to face them then gave a huge grin that scared nearly everyone except for nine misfits who just so happened to be in a so called band called 'Fire of Hell' a certain brunette.
"Well then, will you both please accompany each other for this whole entire week during school hours please." Jinno Sensei stated rather then asked.
The whole class could have sworn that the temperature rose very high almost to a point in which it would be summer even though it was fall for every one of them considering this was the second day of a new school year.
Soon enough the bell rang signaling the beginning of lunch and the start of hell for our protagonists.
"I hate this hell hold." Mikan murmured through gritted teeth then finished etching something on her desk.
(A/N: since Natsume was late for class he missed both first/second period and arrived nearing the end of third period that is why it is lunch...for them that is.)
Natsume's P.O.V.
Once everyone that aren't from my band left it was soon just me, my band mates, and the new girl.
I was watching her as she stopped gazing at her desk and stood up, packing her things. She wore a pony tail that was up to waist length. She had a slim but I couldn't tell is she had a perfectly curved figure that I wouldn't like to admit would have been…damn hot.
She was just an ordinary girl but it looked like from the noise outside of the classroom…she already had her own fan club awaiting her.
"Oi, here are some people I want you to meet." I said acknowledging her existence…for now.
She turned her head towards me with a small smirk…she was mockingly me.
"Don't tell me…your band mates." She said knowingly.
Normal P.O.V.
"Didn't know you were a fan." Hotaru spoke out of the blue as everyone gathered around Mikan about a meter and a half away from her.
"A FAN? ME?...tch," Mikan snickered, "you must be kidding me…let's just say I did some research." Mikan glared at them. She soon stuck out her fingers and pointed to every one of the band members.
She first pointed to Hotaru, "Hotaru Imai, the band's lead singer and song writer." Next she pointed to Mochu, "Mochu the best drummer this shitty school can offer."
Mochu gave her a glare…he already hated her guts. Next Mikan pointed to both Koko and Yuu, "Koko and Yuu the keyboard artists, I heard a lot about you two…the best of the best…maybe one day becoming professionals or celebrities…or not…" Mikan giggled as they put their hands in fists, "Anna, Nonoko, Sumire…hmmm additional members of this so called band of yours…heard you guys have a great talent…for your looks at the very most."
Anna and Nonoko soon had to hold back the scowling Sumire who was about to slap Mikan.
"Oh and here is Ruka and Natsume (A/N: Not using Luca cause…most people don't read the manga but watch the anime because half the time…they can't find the manga anywhere…this includes me too…sigh…) you guys are the band's guitarist and vocal singers…aside from Hotaru that is." Mikan said finishing up everyone.
"You seem to know a lot about music and about us." Hotaru concluded glaring at the new girl.
Mikan laughed again, "Of course…I also would like to know if you are really as good as singing as they say you are…but there's no way to judge…considering we are different."
"Know your place, Ms. Sakura, because if you want to make an enemy of us, well… you'll have to deal with the entire student body if you want to leave through this school year." Hotaru threaten with every bit of venom in her words.
"Ehh…I never knew there were so many dumbasses like you…and your friends…hmmm…I guess there dumbasses and fuckers as much as you are." She said in an audible voice loud enough for people in the room to hear clearly.
Everyone were trying to restrain themselves from anger and rage to hit the girl considering she was still a girl. Inside everyone was boiling and one more step a dangerous fire could explode.
"Also your band 'Fire of Hell' or whatever the name is…I might as well say your music it's the shittiest thing I have ever heard to even be called music." She made a small giggle and slowly walked a few paces before she stopped.
Natsume's P.O.V.
I snapped.
I grabbed her and hung her by both arms against the wall as well as her back. Everyone crowed around me also waiting to kick her ass but most of all trying to stop me from exploding and killing her.
"Don't try to act all high and mighty newcomer and if you want we could show you what it might feel like to be living in hell." I yelled at her who only stared me in the eyes then gave a huge sigh and a wide smirk. Suddenly she spat in my face.
"I would like to see you try." Mikan said. She lit the match. Everyone in the whole room had the same face. I slowly put her down then wiped the spit off my face. I then punched her in the stomach or so it seemed.
But Mikan however was holding my fist.
"Please do try…unless that was all you could come up with." She laughed and suddenly appeared at the doorway. Everyone was surprised in including me.
"By the way…I'll be turning your life into hell before you could even lay a finger on me." Mikan smirked then walked out causally speaking to a few girls who happened to have passed by. They soon pointed to the direction of the cafeteria.
In which she walked to.
"Did you see that?" Yuu said lifting his glasses from the floor and wiping them with a handkerchief from his pockets.
Everyone was silent.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Hotaru spoke with unease as she gave a sigh.
"What do you mean Hotaru?" Anna asked quite curious as well as everyone else was.
"She used to be such a good person…I hope nothing bad happened to her." Hotaru gave another sigh as the room was in dead silence.
Normal P.O.V.
"NANI!!!" They all hollered in bewilderment except for Natsume who sank into the nearest chair and gazed out of the window with a little bit of surprisement.
"How do you know her Imai-San?" Sumire asked.
"You all know that I am the fourth richest person and Natsume is the third in this whole country right?" Hotaru unemotionally stated as everyone except Natsume nodded.
"Well you could say she would be the second richest person…but she is also the last." Hotaru spoke as everyone listened quietly.
"She is rich now because yesterday I did a research concerning money…" She continued as everyone sweat dropped.
"Mikan was an orphan who would clean my house as a young maid when I was very little, bit left suddenly at the age of ten...it seems that she is engaged to someone in that family, making her very wealthy as well…but the thing that makes me uncertain is…how and why was she engaged…"Hotaru concluded as everyone looked at her then at each other.
(A/N: when I say everyone it might usually mean everyone except Natsume…)
"Well let's eat lunch together at our secret meeting spot to discuss our newest song and about the little issue." Ruka suggested as everyone headed towards the cafeteria first to buy lunch.
Meanwhile…
"I hate this school…" Mikan thought as she leaned against the trunk of the Sakura tree on the roof top of the school as the wind blew her hair gently.
She sighed as she stared at the surroundings around her high above and away of the crowded area of people.
"I wonder how long it will be until I get hitched and raped by that man…" Mikan thought as she reminisced her past.
Flash back
Mikan's P.O.V.
I was walking by myself down a deserted street full of the homeless to pick up groceries when someone walked up to me with a butler by his side no doubt.
"Hello" I said happily as the man walked up to me. Apparently he was a new face because everyone from the streets were all good people who I've come to take care and love as my one and only family. Although it did break my heart when some of them started to pass away one by one each day after I started to live in the orphanage again, leaving the Imai family who took great care of me…especially my best friend Hotaru. (A/N: Mikan is still ten)
The man looked old and had a mustache and beard. To me he was someone to be feared. His eyes gleamed of something that I regret to know since I first saw him.
"Hello there, I would like you to come to my place or rather my room young miss." He spoke to me. I ready to run when he grabbed my hand.
"LET GO OF ME!" I shouted at him trying to break loose of his grip. Before I knew it, the butler soon rendered me unconscious.
At the man's home or rather mansion.
I soon awoke to find myself in the living room lying down on a couch. I rubbed my eyes and soon found the man sitting across from me drinking coffee.
"Ah, I see you are finally awake my dear." The Man spoke in a way that made me shudder.
"Well I want to get straight down to the point; you will be marrying me once you reach the age of eighteen. Before you reach that age though I will be signing some contracts at your orphanage, then you will be living here with me and attending school until you reach that proper age." He said happily that I felt so dizzy.
"Even if you don't want to, I will be making you marry me, because I want you…all to myself." He said emphasizing the last part of his sentence.
I didn't know what to do at that time. Before I knew it I was soon knocked unconscious and locked in a room that had all the necessities for me to live off of for a week…not being able to come out or escape.
Once that whole entire week was up, I was then moved to a house near a school I was attending and was from then on forth…I was watched by the man's henchman.
However I was able to get his name before he left me in that hell hold. He said his name was, 'Masahiro Akira'
After that I grew up and stayed in school as much as possible. I joined many sports clubs to improve myself. Soon enough I was considered a prodigy and a genius.
This way I thought I could get myself even more famous so that 'that man' would not be able to do anything bad without everyone noticing…but I was wrong.
My life turned even more hellish when I was soon transferred to a new school leaving all of my already earned friends. The next school however…I was bullied…threatened…because of all the talents I had possessed. He said this was to teach me a lesson of never trying to oppose him. By the time I was allowed to transfer schools…it was when I was seventeen…my current age…and to my dismay…this school…'Alice Academy.'
End of Flashback
Normal P.O.V.
Natsume and his friends soon arrived at the rooftop…home of the many Sakura trees planted on the roof…and their secret meeting place.
To their surprise including Natsume's they found a certain brunette leaning against the center of all of the Sakura trees.
"Hey…NEW GIRL!" Mochu shouted at her.
Mikan slowly stood up and turned to them. A tear escaping from her eyes as the wind blew it away.
Everyone was quiet until Hotaru spoke.
"Let's start over…Mikan…" Hotaru decided. Everyone was shocked at first including Mikan.
One thing that nobody expected was for Mikan to truly…smile. Unlike all the other smirks she had done…her smile was sweet, kind, and…warming…her true smile.
"Hai…" Mikan said happily as she gave a grateful smile to them again.
Please Leave REVIEWS...I'll be super duper HAPPY IF U DO!
