The Precious One

Chapter 1 : The Unpredictable Girl

"Uhhh…" Why does that Jin-Jin give me so much home work?!" Says Mikan to herself, staring at the pile of math homeworks that Jinno-sensei gave her as a punishment. It is really difficult so she ran off to find Hotaru and asked her about the homework. And Mikan found Hotaru in the laboratory.

"Hotaruuuuu! Please help me solve these ques…." Before she can finish her sentences, Hotaru shoots her with the Baka Gun.

"Even if I teach you a thousand times, you'll still don't understand it." So she went off with her scooter.

"Ouch… That hurts…. Ah, IInchou! I want to ask you these questions…"

"Gomen Mikan-chan! I'm really busy with these papers Narumi-sensei gave me… perhaps I can teach you later…. Gomen!" Yuu answered with a sorry looking in his eyes.

"It's okay IInchou! I can ask Ruka about this! Bye!" So she hunted for Ruka. And she found him in the forest.

"Ruka-pyon! Can you teach me these math problems?"

"Sorry Sakura-san, these animals wanted me to sing…" Yes, there is a lot of animals. A squirrel and two mice on his head, his rabbit on his hand, a bird in each shoulder, and big animals like horses, pigs, sheeps, chickens, and even a bear was circling him.

So Mikan quickly answered "That's okay, that's okay! I'll find someone else to teach me! She hurried up and found Anna and Nonoko in the kitchen.

"Anna-chan! Nonoko-chan! Please teach me these homeworks!"

"Sorry Mikan-chan, but we don't know the answer either."

"But me and Anna are making a 'Smart making Cake'! We'll show you how to make it…"

Anna put some flour in a bowl and on the flour pack is written the Expire date: 1 January 1909. And Nonoko poured a green and slimy potion in the bowl.

"Just wait a minute, Mikan-chan and you can taste the first bite!" both of them said.

"Uhhh… no thanks! I'll find someone else! Sorry to bother you!".

She wanted to ask Koko but before she asked he answered he didn't know the answer too. Tsubasa and Misaki were busy; Mochu sure will make her float in the air. So, the last person she wanted to meet was the last person she finally has to ask: Hyuuga Natsume. He was easy to find, at the Sakura Tree.

"Natsume! Please teach me how to solve these math problems!"

But Natsume didn't answer, or more like he didn't mind of her. Quite. He's just being quite. So quite for a minute until Mikan can't take it anymore and then she burst out "Natsume! Can't you ever answer me?! I'm talking to you and you even didn't look at me!"

And there is still no answer from Natsume. So Mikan got so curios and then she finally talked softly towards him,

"Natsume? Are you feeling okay? Are you sick or something?"

Still no answer. And then finally she loses her patient and yelled to him,

"Natsume! Natsume! I'm talking to you, you moron! Quick answer me! I said please teach me how to solve these problems!"

But, still no answer. So Mikan unpredictably said "Natsume! I'll promise if you help me to answer these questions I'll be your slave for a month."

Finally Natsume answered, "Fine. Don't break your promise." He said coolly. Mikan smiled when she heard that answer.

"Yes! I won't!"

So Natsume teach her the steps to solve the math questions, and it's weird, really, surprisingly Mikan can understand very well what Natsume had thought her. So when all her home works are done, she thanked him. Before she runs to her room, Natsume spoke

"Remember, you're my slave starts tomorrow."

Mikan nodded quickly and shuts her room door.

The next morning, when Mikan is still asleep, a knock has waked her up. So with a super sleepy mode, she opened the door. Without opening her eyes, she mumbled

"Hm?"

"Open your eyes."

So Mikan opened her eyes and shrieked after seeing Natsume in front of her.

"Yikes! Natsume! What are you doing in front of my room?"

"I come here to pick you up. You're my slave, right? Quick, shower up and get dressed." Answer Natsume with a cold voice.

"Uhm…. All right. Wait a minute".

So she quickly showered, get dressed, and then follow Natsume. She was really glad that she was Natsume's slave, so she wasn't late for school. What kind of boss that would pick up his waitress? So when she entered the classroom, she nearly rushed to Hotaru to hug her, but she was stopped by Natsume who was grabbing her back collar.

"You're my slave, so follow me. Don't disturb that Crab Girl".

"Hey! Hotaru is NOT a Crab Girl!" Yelled Mikan.

"Whatever."
