Oh my god! Thank you everyone for liking The Sweetest Coffee. Due to the request of Whatever07 a friend of kuroneko27 who wanted a sequel and to everyone else who seriously wanted it, here it is. It's a three chapter oneshot. The first one is a Mikan side-story, then the second is a mix of Mikan and Natsume, then it's a Natsume side-story.
Summary
After Natsume finally realized his deep feelings for Mikan, Natsume oddly enough wanted more. Only until Luna wanted to get revenge and started to ask her twin brother Reo to seduce Mikan into liking him. Reo had his eyes to destroy Natsume since all his girlfriends seem to always have feelings for Natsume so he was glad to find one weakness from him, what's more is that when Mikan and Natsume were young, they were in the same school as Reo and Mikan USED to have a crush on Reo. Just until she becomes totally good friends with Natsume. Since Reo has Mikan's old crush as proof he can finally destroy Natsume. Now just what will Mikan and Natsume do to stay together?
The Sweetest Cherry
Part 1: The First Encounter
"So Natsume, where are we going?" Mikan asked smiling away as she let her hands swing around as she walked with Natsuko at Shibuya Park.
"Where did we go yesterday?" Natsume asked.
"The movies," Mikan answered politely.
"The day before?"
"The zoo."
"On Thursday?"
"The charity bazaar."
"On Wednesday?"
"We went to your college's sports day."
"On Tuesday?"
"The new Coffee Ribbon shop near the station."
"On Monday?"
"You had a photo shoot so we didn't have a date on that day," Mikan answered disappointed.
"Where were we supposed to go on Monday?" Natsume asked.
"The new Aqua Dome," Mikan answered. "You remember? The new aquarium building they just finished. You promised me last week but on the day were supposed to go you had your job on." Mikan sighed and looked up to the sky.
"Would you like to go today then?" Natsume asked smiling.
Mikan had a hopeful face on and nodded frequently. Natsume grinned and held Mikan's hands in his and walked off to his car. While they walked past a black Mitsubishi Evolution, the passenger seat window slides down and a guy with purple neon hair looked out of the window and smirked.
"Onee-chan (Sister), Hyuuga is on the move with the 'monkey' towards Jodan Street," The guy said to his phone.
"Good, make sure you track them down. The days we've been researching on their dates can't fail us now. By the end of today, you should know all the personalities and characteristics of that monkey. Get her and I'll get him," Answered his sister then he hung up.
"Let the games begin, Hyuuga," The guy smirked and ordered the driver to move and stalk the cute couple.
"Ne, Natsume…," Mikan sighed.
"Hmm…" Natsume hmm-ed.
"We didn't realize the aquarium was closed on a Sunday, did we?" Mikan sweat dropped.
"…Well, of course I did! I just didn't want to make you feel down," Natsume arrogantly lied and let go of Mikan's hand.
"Your ears are red! You're lying! You didn't know anything either!" Mikan pointed out.
"Hey! Hey! It's not my fault we didn't get to go on that Monday!" Natsume said and got struck by guilt.
"IT WAS YOUR FAULT WE DIDN'T GET TO GO ON THAT MONDAY!" Mikan scolded.
Natsume huffed and folded his arms trying to become angry even when he's actually enjoying the fact that Mikan is furious.
"Uwaaaah!" Mikan stretched her body and smiled. "OK then Natsume! Bye bye!"
Saying that caught Natsume off guard and he turned his head and stared at her as she was walking down the path towards the city.
"Oi! Where are you going?" Natsume shouted as he tried to catch up to Mikan.
"Well, Natsume isn't taking me anywhere so I'm bored. Bye bye!" She said that word once again which now made Natsume furious and ran faster to catch up to her. When she realized this, she panicked and ran as well.
"WHY ARE YOU CHASING ME?!" Mikan shouted as she ducked from a sign that was just above her head.
"BECAUSE YOU'RE RUNNING AWAY FROM ME!" Natsume shouted back and just punched the sign above him.
"STOP RUNNING!" Mikan shouted and ran for her life and avoided all the people blocking her way.
"YOU STOP FIRST!" Natsume shoved everyone in his way which made everyone curse to him and he shouted 'F'.
"NO WAY! You're scaring the life out of me!" Mikan shouted.
"WELL YOU'RE RUINING THE LIFE OUT OF ME!" Natsume shouted the first thing that came to his mind.
"WHAT THE HELL?! YOU'RE NOT MAKING SENSE!" Mikan shouted and suddenly hit and trampled over an unknown guy. Natsume stopped running and looked shocked and ran faster to Mikan who's now trying to wake that guy up. "Hey mister? You OK?! Mister?"
"You OK?" Natsume asked crouching down.
"He just fainted," Mikan smiled.
"Not him, you," Natsume huffed.
"You should be more worried over someone who actually GOT hurt, Natsume," Mikan sighed.
"Why bother? He's not someone I know," Natsume stood up and stretched his body. "That was a good run."
"Natsume, you're as arrogant as always!" Mikan laughed and stood up. Then she realized there was a huge scratch mark on his right hand and she shuddered. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!"
"Oh, umm…well, I 'accidently' hit and destroyed a huge sign above my head so it scratched my hand…a little," Natsume flinched as Mikan touched the scratch.
"It's bad. Let's go to Anna's house, it isn't that far from here. Call your manager or someone to pick up your car. We'll go and clean your wound now," Mikan smiled and grabbed hold of Natsume and dragged him to Anna's place. Meanwhile…
Those bastards! They couldn't even help dear ol' me! The neon colored hair guy from before cursed. He remained on the ground since he couldn't get up after Mikan trampled over him.
Ring…Ring…
"Yes Onee-chan?" The neon colored hair answered his phone in depression.
"REO! I heard from Kakoto-kun (the driver) that you just let them go like that!" The female voice was furious and filled with anger. "If you don't surpass them today, I'll have to take over and your revenge is going solo!" The female hung up her phone.
"That girl pisses me off! She should've just done it on her own instead of getting my claws dirty just for it!" Reo mumbled and he was finally able to get up. He dusted his pants and took out his phone once again and dialed a number. "Persona!" He said.
"Natsume! Hold still!" Mikan scolded as Natsume kept on flinching the moment the medicine touched the wound.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!" Natsume shouted and Mikan sighed.
"Aww, Mi-chan! Your hubby is way too cute!" Anna squealed as she came in the room with some hot chocolates and some cupcakes.
"For the last time Anna! He's not my hubby!" Mikan shouted.
"Just let her think of it that way. It's not that bad!" Natsume smirked and Mikan blushed. She hid her face and continued to wipe the blood from the scratch.
"Oh, by the way Mi-chan. I didn't mean to be a stalker or anything but I've been following you on a couple…or more of your dates lately," Anna said which shocked Mikan. Mikan stood up and looked oddly at Anna since she was somewhat worried.
"The thing is, every time I'm following you, I seem to see this huge black car stalking you as well. The both of you didn't let anyone hold any grudges on you…did you?" Anna asked. "I'm just merely worried. Cause every time you make a move to go somewhere else, the window will slide down and a guy and sometimes a girl will have their phone to their ears. Like spies or something!" Anna said.
Mikan looked at Natsume in curiosity. "Must be Luna!" Natsume thought. He looked outside of the window and sure still, a black car staying there waiting. "I know that car. We use her car to go on dates. I think she still likes me though. What a pain."
"Umm…hubby-chan…you're really pissing Mikan off by talking about your ex-girlfriend, you know…," Anna sweat dropped as the both of them saw Mikan staring daggers at Natsume with a bad and evil aura. Natsume smiled sheepishly and sighed.
Natsume stood up and cupped Mikan's face and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I already told you I only love you…didn't I?" Natsume smiled and Mikan blushed and hugged Natsume.
"Guys! Knock it off! Mama's coming into the room!" Anna said and rushed to clean up the mess with the first-aid kit. When Anna mom came in Natsume was sitting politely on the floor and eating the cupcakes while Mikan sat like a lady drinking her cup of hot chocolate with a pinky out. Anna was serving Natsume's hot chocolate in a good manner.
"Oh, hello mama," Anna greeted and smiled.
"Hi auntie!" Mikan greeted and nudged Natsume, Natsume stood up and bowed.
"Now who is this young man?" Anna's mom chuckled as she saw Natsume.
"Would you believe it mama? That's Mi-chan's boyfriend!" Anna squealed.
"Oh my! It's good to have finally been able to meet you Hokage-kun!" Anna's mom was greatly misunderstood and Anna was struck by lightning when Mikan and Natsume glared at her. "Mikan-chan has never stopped talking about you ever since you left for America 6 years back! I'm glad she's now happy with her loved one!"
"Umm…mama," Anna started. "This is Hyuuga Natsume."
With that name, Anna's mom froze in embarrassment at the same time she thought of what she just said. If this is not Reo Hokage and I assumed he was, that means Mikan's new boyfriend might just be…conscious of what I said. But she has no idea how seriously conscious he is.
Natsume stood up and walked off from the room in a bad mood. "Na-Natsume!" Mikan called out and stood up. He glanced back and sneered at her and left the room.
"I'm…I'm so sorry Mikan-chan! I didn't know!" Anna's mom apologized.
"It's not your fault. It's just that I didn't even explain properly to you and such! I'm sorry! Please excuse me!" Mikan bowed and rushed to find Natsume.
"NATSUME!" Mikan shouted as she tried to speed up her pace towards Natsume. He made it a lot easier since he stopped walking and faced back.
"To think I said I just only loved you when you had other people in mind," Natsume chuckled. "I'm such an idiot!"
"You're misunderstanding something! Reo was the guy I like years back when we were in junior high! He moved away after I confessed so in a way he dumped me! We have no relationship whatsoever!" Mikan explained.
"Eh? Is that you?! Mikan Sakura-chan!" A guy walking opposite from them waved and Mikan and Natsume took a glance. Mikan widen her eyes when she saw the person waving.
"Re-Reo-kun," Mikan said.
"Well, well, speak of the devil," Natsume smirked. "I guess I shouldn't be meddling with your love affair." With that Natsume started to walk away.
"No, wait! Natsume!" Mikan tried to make a grab-for-it to Natsume just until Reo hugged Mikan tightly from the back which startled Mikan…and Natsume.
"Aww, Mikan-chan! I'm so glad you're still here! Talk about coincidence! I came back just for you! This time we can finally go and date each other!" Reo smiled and made a huge smirk towards Natsume.
"But wait! I'm already with Natsume!" Mikan answered and struggled to get free from Reo's grasp. "And this is really a super and unrealistic coincidence!" Mikan and Natsume thought.
"You mean that guy who looks as if he just dumped you? No way! You deserve better!" Reo argued.
Mikan stopped struggling for a moment. Who was she thinking? What was she thinking? This is Reo isn't it? A guy she like years back and practically told everyone and became a slightly bit snobby about it. But Natsume? He was the guy she was with years before Reo came into the picture! Years before she was born! Years before she even felt a slightly bit of like towards Reo. It's just Natsume…
"But-but! I love him more than my life!" Mikan started and Reo and Natsume stopped whatever they were doing. Mikan broke Reo's hold over her ran towards Natsume. She hugged him tightly as if to have never let go of him again.
"I really love you Natsume! So Please! Please don't leave me alone! Please! I'm sorry!" Mikan cried and buried her head in his shirt. Natsume stood there dumbfounded. What was he to do? He in a way was dumping her but to receive a reaction from her like this was really unexpected to him. Natsume merely smiled and patted Mikan's head. She faced Natsume and they kissed; only Natsume's eyes were glaring and directing it towards Reo.
She'll be mine, Hyuuga. I swear she will! And by the time she is, you're dead! Reo clenched his fists tightly and ran back and entered an alley where the black car stopped. "Onee-chan. It seems they're harder to break up than I thought."
"Chill, I have a photo shoot with Natsume tomorrow. I'll try and seduce him. You will enroll into the monkey's school tomorrow and you will seduce her! We'll kill two idiots with one stone, you know! Don't let me down!" The female voice shouted and hung up.
"Argh! She pisses me off!" Reo shouted his lungs out. Just as he shouted, a black figure appeared behind him.
"So, Reo, any good victims I could lay my hands on?" Persona approached with a smirky grin on his face.
"Not something I'm asking you to gobble up, that's for sure. But, I want you to keep an eye on Sakura Mikan behind the shadows. The moment when I signal you when she's opposing me, tie her up and knock her out and place her inside Onee-chan's room. We're luring Hyuuga Natsume out of this," Reo said.
"That'll be 75 000," Persona said. (Talk about greedy)
"Finish the task before I pay you," Reo said. Persona didn't argue back and disappeared.
"The first stage has just begun, Hyuuga," Reo said.
"Hey, Mikan," Natsume shook Mikan a little. Mikan's eyes flicked open and she sat. "Feeling better?"
Mikan nodded her head and rubbed her eyes. "Where are we?"
"I told Arata-san to send someone to get my car. You fainted after we ran too much so I brought you to my place," Natsume said and placed a damp handkerchief on Mikan's forehead. "Just lie down and rest. We had quite an exhausting day today; I called your mom and told her you'd sleepover. She just warned to not do naughty stuffs. Only until your next birthday that is!" Mikan blushed when Natsume said that and he chuckled.
"Orange or Mango juice?" Natsume asked.
"Umm…o-orange," Mikan said, as her face was still as red as a tomato.
"Alright then. Oh, I'm sorry but I left you alone in the house for 20 minutes. I had to get your change of clothes from your mom," Natsume said as he freshly squeezes the orange to a glass.
"It's fine. At least I didn't get harassed by anyone…OW!" Mikan screamed and she just realized somehow or other there was a huge scratch on her arm which says 'DIE!' and the blood is still fresh.
"Mikan!" Natsume worried and went to her. "Crap, what the hell is this?!" Natsume shouted in rage.
"Relax, thank god it just looks like a scratch," Mikan smiled.
"Didn't you realize this was used by a pocket knife?! Argh! Who in the world would dare to do such a crummy old thing?" Natsume cursed.
"I told you to relax!" Mikan knocked Natsume's head with a pillow. "I am more of a human than you so I know what to do! Unlike you who scream for help and your whole entire fan club would come to the rescue." Mikan huffed and went over to a wardrobe to get the first-aid kit.
"But they do come in handy," Natsume said and sighed. He took Mikan's orange juice and placed it next to her. "Do you have any idea who did this to you?" Natsume asked and he saw Mikan twitched her eyebrow which clearly states that 'isn't it obvious' look. "Oh right, stupid question. Must be that Hokage guy who was somehow stalking you before. He must be Luna's brother!"
"Reo is Luna's brother?" Mikan asked.
"Twin brother to be exact. Luna is your age, 17, so is Reo. They're formally known as the Hokage twins, one with beauty and the other with power," Natsume said. "That's how I got to know Luna. She was quite a bitch anyway. To introduce herself, she gave me a magazine which states everything about her."
"You sure know a lot," Mikan huffed. Natsume smiled and suddenly hugged Mikan.
"Even after coupling for 5 months, I still can't get out of the fact that you're so cute!" Natsume said. (This is way beyond his personality. Sorry fans)
Mikan felt overly self-conscious and her face heats up. "Umm…I guess we should now go catch Reo. Yeah," Mikan said and blushed furiously.
"No, we shouldn't," Natsume said.
Mikan looked at Natsume, confused. "Eyh? Why?"
"Leave him be. He'll know that he's messing with the wrong couple from today," Natsume cursed. I'm not going to drag you into Luna's revenge Mikan. Just stay safe.
"OK, then. Oyasumi (Good night)," Mikan waved and went to sleep in Natsume's bedroom. "Are you sure I could take the bed?"
"It's fine. I have a sofa bed," Natsume reassured and saw Mikan smiled and closed the door. Luna's having an apology photo shoot tomorrow. I need to be cautious. But who can I have to protect Mikan while I'm away?
"I'll be going to school now, Natsume. Your coffee is in the tea pot, the omelet just needs to be heated for a few seconds, your clothes are washed and you just need to dry it up. Oh and your photo shoot is in 3 hours," Mikan said as she saw Natsume sleeping under a kotatsu instead of the couch. Natsume yawned and waved goodbye and continued to sleep.
Koko's car was outside of Natsume's apartment so Mikan car pooled along with him. "So Mikan-chan. How's your life going with Hyuuga-kun?"
"Ne, Koko, did Natsume order you to fetch me?" Mika asked solemnly.
"Hmm…no, but Anna-chan did! She's so cute when she asked for a request!" Koko smiled gleefully.
"I see," Mikan said, so Koko drove along to get to Gakuen Alice without having a thought of neither curiosity nor suspicion. "Ne Mikan-chan. We're here! Anna-chan didn't join us today because she said her mom isn't feeling well and totally depressed so I'm going to visit…"
"YOU.BETTER.NOT!" Mikan glared and clutched Koko's collar and Koko flinched when Mikan's hateful eyes met his.
"H-Hai!" He said eyes widened at Mikan's reaction. Suddenly, in front of the school's gate, a black metallic BMW Z3 appeared and Hotaru Imai went out from the car.
"I-Imai?!" Koko asked. And the whole entire student body stared at her. The most richest 17 year old in the world and gained 17 billion dollars at the age of 12 came into the school grounds by wearing black shiny ankle-boots, black jeans and a grey fur coat with sunglasses over her head.
"Hotaru-chan?" Mikan glanced back and saw Hotaru smirked.
"I just thought I'd dropped by. I won 20 billion a couple of hours ago on a horse race so I'm sharing part of it with you," Hotaru said and walked over to Mikan.
"A HORSE RACE?!" Everyone shouted in disbelief.
"Everyone bets a lot when I come, they intend to get my money, I bet…on my own horse creation, HORX 27. I can control it from afar just by placing the controller near my control nerve cells. It'll tell the horse everything they need to do. But of course I had to lose a lot before just to make the horse somehow very weak and people will never vote. But then it just so happens that the total amount of betting went up to 20.1 billion dollars against my horse, so I bet A LOT," Hotaru said. "And I won!"
"She's evil!"
"A She-devil!"
"A cruel human!"
"A Manipulator."
"Those to me are comments you scumbags!" Hotaru stared at the people who cursed her and smiled. "You are the daughter of Salvatore; son of Johnson's the third, the son of the famous twin Whinnens and daughter of Hastings. All of your parents work under me if you haven't notice. The moment I complain about you to my company, your life will be in full depression." The kids stepped back and bowed and ran away in an instant.
"Hotaru! That's mean! I'm glad you're back!" Mikan smiled and ran to hug Hotaru.
"Not on my watch!" Hotaru let out the baka-gun and shoot but the exact coordinate to hit Mikan, Mikan made a forward flip and landed in front of Hotaru and hugged her.
"I've learned how to avoid that for now!" Mikan smiled. Hotaru smiled and hugged back. "It's good to be back. How's Ruka?"
"…lonely…," Mikan sighed. "He's been cooped up in the music room for days. And when it's break time, we'll always hear him play the violin."
"He's exaggerating," Hotaru sighed. "Dakota!" Hotaru ordered.
"Yes, my lady," Dakota, her bodyguard responded.
"Bring in the car at noon and bring a change of clothes for me and my friend Sakura Mikan," Hotaru said. "We'll be going to take a visit to that person's house."
"As you wish, we will take our leave," Dakota said.
"Being absolutely polite will not give you a raise you know," Hotaru added.
"Yes ma'am," Dakota made a mocking face which made Mikan laugh and everyone else shocked.
"Better," Hotaru felt better when she saw Mikan laughed.
After Hotaru met up with all her other friends like Yuu, Mochu and the teachers it has just strike noon. Mikan just went out of her class to go to her next period session. Only until she bumped into Reo.
"Ah! Mikan-chan!" Reo said excitedly and held her hands. "What's your class now?"
"Huh? Umm…Physics," Mikan said.
"REALLY?! That's mine too. I signed up to this school last week so today's my first day and I haven't been to one class at all. It's all so confusing," Reo cheekily laughed and so did Mikan.
"Really? Well, come on, after Physics I can show you around the school," Mikan smiled.
First chance! Reo thought and smiled. He tried to make a grab-for-it to hold Mikan's hand while going to class to make a first impression in front of the whole student body. Reo caught Mikan's hand and held it tightly. "I-I'm sorry. It's that I'm sort of nervous today."
"It's OK if it's like that then," Mikan smiled and started to head for the classroom only until someone hand-chopped Reo's hand which was holding Mikan's.
"I won't allow a person who has such bad records to touch Mikan," Hotaru glared and pulled Mikan to her side.
"I-I'm sorry," Reo wept.
"Aww, Hotaru, you made him cry," Mikan said and walked over to Reo. Hotaru grabbed Mikan's hand and walked the opposite direction.
"Where are we going?" Mikan asked.
"Out," Hotaru said solemnly. So this is the person you were talking about, Hyuuga. Don't worry; everything is in my hands for now. Hotaru pulled Mikan into the car and she asked Dakota to move towards the person's house.
"Mikan," Hotaru said and Mikan looked at her. "I forbid you to talk to that guy again. Hokage Reo isn't it?" Hotaru said.
"Natsume…he's gone too far," Mikan said which made Hotaru suspicious.
"What do you mean?" Hotaru asked.
"Don't act dumb. Natsume called you here didn't he?" Mikan asked. Hotaru nodded and leaned back to her chair. "How did you know?"
"First he called Anna to call Koko, then some of the girls in my class started to annoyingly pretended to stand in front of me and talked about the new transfer student and started to bitch about him and you popped up out of the blue," Mikan started.
"You've been observing well," Hotaru said. "Yeah, it's true that Hyuuga called me yesterday night when I was in England. Luckily I was already in the flight heading for the race. He has good timing. On the way here, I researched on the Hokages. Reo Hokage, known as the brains of the twins though his IQ is no match for mine; I beat his by 214 points," Hotaru laughed.
Isn't…Isn't there a limit of not more than 190 IQ points or am I wrong? Mikan sweat-dropped.
"But Reo… that guy has conquered one of the largest yakuza groups in Japan," Hotaru said. "But since he is in a way a mama's boy, he wouldn't dare to kill anyone."
"But he went too far so Natsume had to call for back up," Mikan said. "Someone cut my hand yesterday when I was unconscious and that time Natsume was out."
"Let me see," Hotaru said and Mikan held out her arm. Hotaru took out a cotton bud and wiped a small clot of dried blood. And put it on a scanner she was holding.
"It'll be my blood obviously!" Mikan said. WHACK!
"I know that, idiot! I'm checking on the design. In a way, it's well made, without any scared thoughts in mind," Hotaru said and wore some kind of blue goggles.
"Which means?" Mikan asked.
"The person who did this to you wasn't even afraid if you're either awake, sleeping or even dead," Hotaru said which sent Goosebumps down Mikan's spine. "And I know only one person who isn't afraid of going to hell."
"Who?" Mikan asked.
"Souji Persona, the shadow murderer," Hotaru said. "He's a well-paid bastard who gets over 50 000 dollars just to kills one tiny drop of blood from a victim. Recently the cops are on the loose to catch him, so he hid beneath the shadow of buildings."
"How do you know this?" Mikan asked.
"He was to kill me a year ago by one of my clients when I cheated them and received 75 million dollars just from selling a fake Amanatsu (Is that the name of the Mikan robot Hotaru made?)" Hotaru said and closed the scanner. "We ought to catch him fast. I hope that person could help."
OK guys! In this sequel, in a way, I'm starting to add up all the other characters. I hope you like it! If you're disappointed, tell me! I'LL REWRITE IT TO MAKE IT BETTER! But I need the support of more than 7 to change the storyline or else it wouldn't be fair to the people who actually liked it. BloodyHolly signing off.
