CHAPTER I
It was a snowy night and a young brunette with big auburn eyes looked out of the window from her house, her eyes sparkling with excitement while she was drinking her hot chocolate milk.
"Mummy, Daddy! Look look! It's snowing!" The little child said.
Her parents smiled while they where drinking there coffee's.
"Ne, papa. When i grow up, will i also like coffee?" The brunette asked while she climbed on her mother's lap.
"Maybe Mikan-chan but you know, hot chocolate milk is much tastier" Her father said.
"Then why are you not drinking that papa?" The little Mikan asked confused.
"Because i was in the mood for coffee" Her father said and smiled.
"Oh" Mikan said.
Her big auburn eyes showed nothing but innocence.
"Ne mummy,daddy" Mikan suddenly said.
Her parents looked at her.
"I love you both very much!" Mikan said hugging both of them.
Her parents looked at each other and grinned then they looked at their child while they hugged her, a hug full of love.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Mikan suddenly jumped out of her mother's lap.
"I'm going to get it! I'm going to get it" Mikan said while she jumped with excitement.
Her mother looked concerned.
"Mikan-chan stay with mommy, I'm going to check it first okay?" Her father said while patting his daughter's head.
Mikan nodded, disappointed but then smiled brightly.
"Okay, Daddy!"
Her mother mouthed something to her dad what Mikan didn't understand and then he left to open the door.
After a few minutes the little brunette heard a loud thud.
"Mommy, what's going on? Where's daddy?" The little Mikan asked concerned.
Suddenly Mikan and her mother heard a scream.
"Yuka! It's them, take Mi-chan and RUN!" Her father suddenly yelled appearing from the other side of the room.
Mikan's eyes widened. Her father was bleeding! Her father was holding his neck that was bleeding non stop.
Suddenly she heard a shot and she noticed her father falling to the ground.
"DADDY!" Mikan yelled.
Yuka grabbed Mikan by her arm while tears where streaming down her cheeks.
"You have to live Mikan! We need to run!" Yuka said.
"No use woman, you are both going to die like your husband" A man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and looked down, at Mikan's father.
"Your still alive?" He asked when he noticed that Mikan's father was still breathing.
"NO! Don't hurt him anymore! What do you want!?" Yuka begged while she cried, hiding Mikan behind her.
"Her blood" The man said, pointing at the trembling Mikan behind Yuka.
"NO!" Suddenly Mikan's father screamed while pulling the stranger down.
The stranger groaned.
"If you really want to die, than die!" The stranger yelled and shot Mikan's father in his chest.
"NOOOO!" Yuka yelled while covering Mikan's eyes.
"Run Yuka, for the sake of our daughter!" Mikan's father said using his final breath.
Yuka looked pissed at the stranger.
"You have to pass me first to get her, you monster!" Yuka said and attacked the stranger.
The stranger laughed but only for a short time because he got hit several times on his head and stomach.
"Mi-chan RUN!!" Yuka yelled at her daughter.
Mikan couldn't move and looked at her daddy.
"Mummy! D-Da-Daddy is bleeding!" Mikan only said little tears streaming down her face.
"Mi-chan, Mummy and Daddy both love you very much, that's why you need to run and live honey! Live Mi-chan! For us!" Yuka said trying everything she could to prevent the stranger of killing her daughter.
Mikan's feet suddenly started working on it's own. She rushed past her mother and she heard the stranger cursing. Mikan kept running and running, while she rushed out of the house, feeling the cold snow on her naked skin. She heard a gun shot but didn't want to think about who the bullet got. When she rushed past her mother she could see her mother giving her on last heartwarming smile while she said:
"Good girl, live Mi-chan, live"
Tears were streaming down the little brunette's face and it was cold but she kept running, running for the sake of her mom and dad.
RING! RING! RING! RING! RING!
A brunette girl opened her big, sparkling auburn eyes.
"I dreamed it again" She said and sighed.
"Mou, i don't want to remember it anymore! Why does it keep haunting me?!" The brunette said frustrated while she jumped out of bed.
She took a hot shower, brushed her teeth and changed into her school uniform. She brushed her hair and put it into a ponytail, she made sure her bangs were not covering her pretty eyes. When that was done she rushed downstairs where the maid had prepared her breakfast, she greeted her good morning, took her food and sat on the couch, turning on the TV on MTV. After a few minutes someone sat beside her.
'Ohayou, Hotaru-chan" Mikan said to her best friend and flashed one of her bright smiles.
Mikan was living with her best friend since 9th grade and they where now in 10th grade. The reason for this all was because Hotaru wanted to start a new life without living at home and Mikan had no parents anymore so she was used to live alone and their school was not that far away from their place.
As usual Hotaru didn't answer the same but just nodded and gave an almost invisible smile.
"You had a nightmare today?" Hotaru asked while eating her breakfast and watching the music videos.
Mikan nodded.
"The same one as usual" Mikan said and sighed.
"Can you remember who it was?" Hotaru asked, still not looking at Mikan.
"Can i remember who?" Mikan asked, actually fully knowing who Hotaru meant.
"The killer of your parents" Hotaru said.
"Not really, i can only remember that he had a gun and blood dripping out of his mouth" Mikan said while making a face.
"Blood dripping out of his mouth? I thought he killed your parents with a gun?" Hotaru asked raising an eyebrow.
"He did, if I'm not mistaken he shot my dad right through his heart and when i left the place i heard a gun shot when my mom was fighting him so i think she died that way too" Mikan said and sighed.
"Strange" Hotaru said while taking her last bite of cereal.
"I know but lets change the topic, i mean, it's not really a happy thing to start the day talking about murder cases" Mikan said and sweat dropped.
Hotaru nodded.
She knew Mikan was still traumatized by what happened that day but she had moved on so far that she could talk freely about it with Hotaru which was a thing Hotaru could be proud of.
"You know Ru-chan, lately you have been going to Ruka-pyon's place often, i wonder how his house looks like" Mikan said grinning while taking her schoolbag and coat, ready to go to school.
It was so cold outside that it started to snow lately.
"Oh, shut up baka" Hotaru said annoyed.
Mikan grinned while they stepped into their BMW car. The driver was already waiting for them.
On the way to school Mikan kept annoying Hotaru with questions about Ruka. She didn't really know Ruka and Mikan was very curious but she stopped when Hotaru was threatening her to hit her with her new upgraded baka gun.
At school they had to go their separate ways because their first subject was not the same. While putting her coat in her locker and taking out her books she thought about her dream. She had searched on Internet to find some more information about the stranger but couldn't find anything, the only clue she had was that her parents knew that person, she didn't even know if that person was still alive.
Arriving at her classroom she sat on a chair that was next to the window, an empty seat beside her. She loved to sit beside the window, especially when it was snowing. It was still a little dark and if she touched the window she could feel the coldness and she loved it. While looking out of the window, thinking very deeply about her parents she heard a few of her classmates talking about a book.
"Did you read the new book of the Twilight series! It's so awesome! I just love Edward!" A pink haired girl said holding the book.
"I have finished the first one and i loved it!" A blue haired girl said.
"Only the first one? Let me see..It's true! Your so late!" The pink haired girl said.
Mikan got interested.
"Uh, excuse me? What kind of book is that?" Mikan asked the two girls out of curiosity.
Both looked shocked.
"You don't know?!" The pink haired girl asked, looking with disbelieve at Mikan.
Mikan shook her head.
"The book is about a girl named Bella who falls in love with a vampire and the vampire named Edward falls in love with her too! Later in the story she wants to become a vampire because vampires can live forever and humans die at a time and she wants to be with him forever but he doesn't want her to become a vampire because he loves her too much" The blue haired girl said, swooning away while she told the story.
"No Noko-chan! It's not that he only love's her too much, he knows that the procedure is painful and he doesn't want her to get hurt, also he doesn't want to bite her!" The blue haired pointed out.
"A vampire? Like those in the fairy tales? They will suck your blood when they bite you and you will die?" Mikan asked raising an eyebrow.
The pink haired girl nodded.
"In order to become a vampire you need to be bitten by a vampire, some say by a pure blood and some say that that doesn't matter" The blue haired girl said.
Mikan nodded.
"You should read the book! Here, take this one" The blue haired said and gave Mikan the book that she had brought with her.
"Wait! I can't do that!" Mikan said.
"Don't worry! Just read it and tell us what you think" The pink haired who was earlier called by the name Noko-chan said and walked away, satisfied
The blue haired followed her and they walked away their seats.
Mikan looked at the book.
"Twilight by Stephenie Meyer" Mikan said and raised an eyebrow.
She put the book in her bag and took out her crappy maths. Mikan sighed.
"If i could have the power to travel through time i would make sure that the person who found out Maths would regret it" Mikan said while she already felt a headache coming up.
Suddenly she felt cold and shivers ran through her back as if she was standing outside in the snow instead of sitting in the warm classroom.
She looked behind, at the last bench and narrowed her eyes, a handsome boy with ruby eyes looked at her. She didn't like the feeling he gave her so she turned around but still felt that he was looking at her, it gave her the chills.
She concentrated on the snow outside and it worked.
"They will suck your blood when they bite you" Mikan repeated what she said earlier in a soft voice, while she thought about the incident what happened a few years ago. She tried to play the dream in her head.
"NO! Don't hurt him anymore! What do you want!?" Yuka begged while she cried, hiding Mikan behind her.
"Her blood" The man said, pointing at the trembling Mikan behind Yuka.
Mikan's eyes widened.
"My blood?" Mikan whispered while she unconsciously placed a hand on her neck.
She could also remember that her father was holding his neck because it was bleeding non stop and on top of that, she could remember her saying to Hotaru that blood was dripping out of the stranger's mouth. The only thing the killed had with him was a gun, if he had shot her dad in his neck he should have died but he was still alive.
'Could that be that he was a..'
"Vampire?" she finished her thoughts.
"What did you say?" Suddenly a voice next to her said.
Mikan snapped out of her thoughts and removed her gaze from the snow to the person sitting next to her. She looked into a pare of ruby eyes. It was the boy from the back.
"Who are you?" Mikan asked, narrowing her eyes.
She really didn't like the way he gave her chills. While she asked her question she heard a few gasps.
"You don't know who i am?" The boy asked amused.
Mikan looked around, everyone was looking at the two of them.
"No" Mikan said looking at the ruby eyed boy again.
"I am Natsume Hyuuga" Natsume said amused.
"And i am not interested in having a conversation with you" Mikan said and turned around trying to find her peace in the snow again.
He was definitely making her nervous about the sudden attention he gave her. Mikan could feel his ruby eyes burning through her back and she was getting irritated while he actually wasn't even doing anything.
"What do you want?" Mikan hissed when she turned around to face Natsume.
Instead of answering her question Natsume closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Mikan took this chance to look at his face, he had raven hair and bangs, his skin was a mix between milky and creme, his lips...The bastards had exactly the lips that would make every girl wonder who the lucky girl will be to be kissed by those lips.
To be more exact, he was just perfect and that annoyed Mikan more.
"Done admiring me?" Natsume said, opening his eyes and smirked.
Mikan noticed that his eyes had a deeper color ruby now, almost as if she was looking into blood.
She snapped out of her thoughts when she realized she was almost losing herself there.
"Don't be too cocky now, I'm definitely not admiring you" Mikan said and sighed.
"Whatever" Natsume suddenly coldly said, stood up and walked out of the classroom.
Mikan didn't really care that she was sitting alone again, she was used being alone sometimes so she didn't mind.
"I, president of the Natsume-Hyuuga-fan-club, don't accept the way how you treat my Natsume-sama. You should be punished" A green haired girl said, suddenly standing right beside her, slamming her hands on the table.
Mikan heard some girls nodding and looked at the green haired girl with her pure innocent eyes.
"Oh, don't look at me with those eyes, that doesn't work on me kid" The green haired girl said and laughed awfully.
"Excuse me but who are you?" The brunette asked, blinking with her eyes.
First the green haired girl looked displeased by the question but then smiled.
"I am, the one and only Sumire Shouda, the future bride of our great Natsume Hyuuga" Sumire said and smiled.
"Hello" Mikan said and smiled brightly.
Taken back by the innocence of the smile Sumire took a few steps back.
"J-Just don't t-talk l-like that to Hyuuga-sama, k-kay?" Sumire said, stuttering.
Mikan nodded and smiled again, she knew that if she used that smile, people would easily back off.
Sumire walked away and Mikan smiled.
"This is going to be a long day" She said and turned to the snow, once more before falling into a deep slumber.
Humans: Selfish creatures who care only about themselves, if somethings goes wrong, they give each other the fault. These creatures will turn their back on you as soon as they realize that you're useless or not the person they thought you were. They are best known as creatures who only think about them selfs,there are only a few on earth who are the opposite.
Vampires: Not human creatures. Without humans, they cannot live. Vampires depend on humans by drinking their blood that would stop their hunger. They have special powers that humans don't have. Most people don't believe in vampire's and see it as a myth because no one has really met one, at least, until now.....
"Nonsense!" A raven haired boy yelled and threw the book on the ground.
He was at the school library where nobody came in the mornings and he was searching for a book about humans and vampires. He covered his nose and mouth.
"That smell is freaking driving me crazy!" Natsume yelled to nobody.
His fist hit the books, he was frustrated. The bookshelf was shaking but managed to not break down. Natsume took a little box out of his pocket and opened it, he took one pill out and ate it.
Slowly he calmed down and came back to his senses, he dropped down to the floor while he kept hitting the ground with his fist, it was bleeding but he didn't care.
"Natsume!" Suddenly a blond yelled seeing his best friend on the ground.
"What's the matter?!" The blond asked and rushed over to his best friend.
"Nothing" Natsume coldly said and stopped hitting the ground while he looked at his bloody fist.
"Look at your hand Natsume! Is that nothing?!" The blond yelled angry while he pulled bandage out of his pocket.
The blond was so used to the fact that every time he saw Natsume, Natsume was injured that he decided to carry bandage with him.
"That scent Ruka, it's driving me crazy!" Natsume said, frustrated.
Ruka kept silent and sighed.
"I know Natsume, i know. Do you think i have it easy?" Ruka asked thinking about his girlfriend.
"Then why are you still seeing that person,Ruka!?" Natsume asked while he closed his eyes.
His best friend sure was the risky type, having a relationship with the girl he wants to drink the blood of.
Ruka's ocean blue eyes darkened.
"That's the thing, somehow i can't distance myself from her. Every time i end up being with her" Ruka said, ruffling his own hair.
"Sounds like you like her" Natsume said and smiled.
He was happy that his best friend finally found someone after all those years.
"Great" Ruka said with sarcasm.
"Let's go" Natsume suddenly said, standing up.
"To where?" Ruka asked, confused.
"Class, where else?" Natsume said and started walking knowing fully that his best friend was going to follow him.
Ruka just sighed and shook his head, having a strange feeling of this day.
"Detention again?" Hotaru asked, sounding not surprised at all.
"Mou Hotaru, you don't have to remind me!" Mikan said and gave a disgusting look, trying not to think what Jinno would give her or rather do to her.
It was lunch break and Mikan accidentally fell asleep while first period was going on and it was just her luck to have Jinno for that period. He was known to be a cruel and sadistic teacher and loved to make fun of his students. Currently, he had a thing for Mikan, he loved annoying and torturing her.
Hotaru just looked at her best friend, sitting across her.
"What's wrong? You're pale" Hotaru said.
She had noticed it a long time ago when they were together the second and third period.
"Huh? Me? Pale?" Mikan asked confused touching her cheeks.
"You must see it idiot, not feel it" Hotaru said while eating her crab salad.
"I'm not an idiot Hotaru!" Mikan said, defending herself.
"So, what's wrong?" Hotaru asked while she looked at Mikan's food, still left untouched.
There was definitely something wrong with her best friend.
"Do you know someone with the name Natsume Hyuuga by any chance?" Mikan asked unsure, putting her leg on the other.
Hotaru almost grinned, almost. Of course she knew who Natsume Hyuuga was, he was her source of income after all. She couldn't help giving Mikan one of her almost invisible smiles.
"He appears every night in the dreams of his fan girls and most girls only talk about him and swoon over him" Hotaru explained.
"You're kidding, right?" Mikan asked and laughed.
"Do i look like I'm kidding?" Hotaru asked, looking emotionless as ever.
Mikan blinked and widened her eyes.
"No way!" Mikan said while her voice raised.
Some people turned over to look at them,probably thinking that they where idiots.
Mikan just sat their, blinking with her eyes, trying to let the information go through her and that took a while. At last, as a sign of letting Hotaru know that she got it she sighed.
"But" Hotaru suddenly said when she was done eating her crab salad.
"But..." Mikan repeated.
"Shut up idiot, that's not the thing that's bothering you is it?" Hotaru asked.
Mikan again blinked and changed her legs in a other position again while she grinned sheepishly.
"What are you talking about Hotaru?" Mikan asked trying to sound innocent as ever.
"Now don't think I'm an idiot like you, what's wrong? If you don't tell me I'm not letting you stay in our house today" Hotaru said very serious.
"That's blackmailing! I thought you didn't blackmail your friends!" Mikan said.
"I am not blackmailing you, I'm just asking what's wrong with you today" Hotaru said.
Mikan was getting nervous now, she looked around if anyone could hear them.
"I, i don't know Hotaru. I was just wondering you know, who the killer was but i don't want to talk about it here" Mikan said.
As soon as she said that the bell rang, giving a sign that classes are going to start in 5 minutes.
"What's our next subject?" Hotaru asked even thought she knew what their next subject was.
Since they lived together and went to school together Hotaru had copied both the timetables for her and Mikan so that the baka could know where she was and so that she could know where that baka was.
"Uh, Sports?" Mikan said, actually guessed.
"Good, we can skip that" Hotaru plainly stated and walked away.
Mikan was confused for a second. Hotaru, skipping classes? That was something new to her.
She always thought Hotaru was going for the honor student award or something.
Mikan rushed over to Hotaru.
"Why are we skipping classes? More precisely, why are you skipping classes?" Mikan asked following Hotaru outside.
"Because sport is useless for a inventor" Hotaru plainly stated in a matter of fact tone.
Actually, that was not the reason. The reason was, right now Mikan and her past where more important than those stupid sports at school and in order for Mikan to stop having those nightmares and move on, the baka at least needs to know why her parents where killed...right?
Hotaru had already called the driver at school when she saw that Mikan was not acting like the usual jumpy girl that she was so as soon as they arrived at the parking place their driver was already waiting for them.
"You called driver-san?" Mikan asked surprised.
Hotaru just nodded and stepped into the car, after her, Mikan followed her.
"Where to go miss?" The driver asked,looking in the mirror that could see what was going on in the back.
"Home" Hotaru said.
After they arrived home Hotaru asked their maid to put some tea. Mikan just kept silent, until they sat on the couch with a warm cup of tea to go against the freezing weather outside the house. They where lucky to have a temperature controller in the house that would prevent them from freezing to dead or from burning to death.
"So what's the story?" Hotaru asked.
Mikan, who was very embarrassed about her thoughts this time, grabbed her schoolbag and took the Twilight book out of it and showed Hotaru.
Hotaru looked at the book.
"Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer. The book that tells about a love story between a vampire and a human girl" Hotaru said when she saw the cover.
Mikan nodded.
"Vampires?" Hotaru asked and raised an eyebrow.
Again Mikan nodded.
"And you thought about it when you saw this book?" Hotaru asked.
"Actually, there where two girls that gave me this book because it would be a shame if you haven't read this book yet. They gave me a simple summary of the book. First i thought it was ridiculous because vampires don't exist but then i remembered what happened that night. My father was holding his neck, that was bleeding and the murdered told me he wanted my blood so actually I'm confused" Mikan said and sighed in relief when she told the whole story to Hotaru.
Hotaru made her always feel relieved when she told Hotaru what was going on in her mind.
"And that all happened when you thought about this book about a vampire and a human girl that fall in love?" Hotaru asked.
Suddenly Mikan felt stupid. This coming out of Hotaru's mouth suddenly sounded ridiculous.
"I know it's stupid but...I don't know, it's just that..you know?" Mikan asked.
She just couldn't describe the thing she felt inside her.
"No, i don't know. It sounds stupid. A normal person would laugh if you told the same thing what you told me" Hotaru said what definitely sounded cold.
Mikan sighed.
"I know, i know" Mikan muttered, feeling very stupid.
"And if and I'm saying IF vampire's exist. I don't want any vampire in your life, in OUR life's because you are a stupid,idiot,clumsy and most of all innocent girl and they are dangerous" Hotaru said coldly.
Mikan nodded. She knew she was important to Hotaru even thought Hotaru never really said something like that but something inside her was telling her that things are going to change...and that would be very soon.
After their first period together, Natsume haven't seen the girl anymore. He was actually looking for her and that was the thing that annoyed the raven haired boy very much. Maybe because she was different than his fan girls or maybe because she was very pretty or maybe just maybe because she was able to make him interested in her. He just didn't know the damn reason and thinking about that made him not annoyed anymore but rather very pissed.
"Yo, Natsume! What's up?" a dirty blond haired boy asked.
Natsume just groaned in response.
"Oh, we are in a bad mood today. Feeling thirsty?" The dirty blond haired boy teased.
"Shut up, Koko" Natsume snapped and turned around to look at the boy.
"Who are you looking for?" Koko asked.
"No one" Natsume coldly said while he scanned the hallway, which they where standing in, again.
Girl who passed them looked at Natsume before turning to their friends and started gossiping about how handsome he was.
Suddenly Ruka popped out of nowhere with another blond with him.
"Yo Ruka, Yuu" Koko greeted.
Ruka greeted Koko before turning to Natsume. Yuu started a conversation with Koko about how he should stop giving those fan girl hope.
"Natsume, you're looking for her, aren't you?" Ruka asked, making sure that Yuu and Koko didn't hear them.
"I'm looking for no one, Ruka" Natsume said annoyed.
The fact that Ruka always knew what was going around in Natsume's head was annoying him sometimes.
Ruka just sighed, knowing fully that having a discussion with his best friend would piss him off more.
"Come on, we are getting late for class" Ruka said to his friends and started walking.
Natsume just sighed as he heard the fan girls talk about how a great leader he is.
"If I'm a leader, Ruka sure could be one too" Natsume muttered before following his best friend to class with Koko and Yuu behind him.
Having a lecture from Ruka about school is something Natsume the least wants right now.
"We should get going now" Mikan said, looking at the clock that was signing that it was 3pm now.
They started at 11 am today and only have 4 classes. After Maths Mikan had Social while Hotaru had physics and English, after that they had lunch. After the break they would have sports together, the only subject that they would be together today but Hotaru had decided to skip it with her. Their subject was almost ending right now so they had to go to school.
Hotaru nodded in response.
They took their now empty cups and gave it to the maid. Both took their coats and shoes in the hallways and put it on.
Mikan opened the door and walked outside. She loved snow even thought she has a bad memory of it. The way how it looked so pure and innocent but yet felt so freezing against your skin and made you long for a cup of warm chocolate milk, made her feel peaceful.
"Coming or not?" Hotaru asked while she looked up, at the sky.
"It's almost getting dark and we need to buy the groceries after school so we need to hurry op" Hotaru said as she walked towards the car again.
"Isn't that the maids job?" Mikan asked while she followed Hotaru to the car.
She looked back and saw their footprints in the snow.
"I know but i asked Marie today what she's cooking and she told she was making soup and I'm not in the mood for soup so i told her that we are doing the groceries today" Hotaru stated and got into the car.
"Ah, in that way?" Mikan said as she also got into the car.
As soon as they where in the car the driver started the car and dropped them at school.
As soon as they went inside the school grounds the bell rang signing, that the period ended.
"Ja ne, Hotaru!" Mikan said and waved.
Hotaru nodded and they both went the opposite way.
Just one small thing the brunette forgot and that was that she still had detention after their last period.
"She's back" Natsume muttered,looking out of the window.
A few seconds ago he saw a familiar brunette walking inside the school building, the same he was in, after he saw her waving at a raven haired girl going to the other building of the school.
"What did you say, Natsume?" Best friend Ruka asked, looking at him.
"Nothing" Natsume said.
After the bell rang, most of the students went to their other subject, in a other class. The raven haired boy had still the same subject, another hour.
Their teacher appeared, a substitute.
"You have a free period today" The substitute said.
"Then we can go home?" Koko asked.
A few girls grinned, not because the question was so funny but because they liked everything Koko said.
"No" The substitute said, getting nervous.
"Why? This is our last period!" Koko protested.
Some other students nodded in agreement.
"B-because..." The substitute stuttered, trying to find a reason.
Koko grinned
"I'm just kidding, take it easy"
Yuu shook his head. His friend was always the joker in their group.
"He;s a substitute, did you really have to make a fool out of him?" Yuu asked.
Yuu always made people think that he was the rule follower or the nerd of the group but after Natsume,Ruka and Koko knew him better, he was actually far from being a nerd.
Yes he was doing his homework properly, yes he was wearing his uniform properly, yes he was being nice and gently to everyone and yes he always had great marks but outside school Yuu is very different. He dates girls, goes to clubs or bars and he doesn't wear glasses but could be a player like Koko if he wanted to be because he does have the looks that makes him have the fan girls at school also.
"Ah come on, Yuu. If we don't do that, school is no fun" Koko said.
"And don't pretend you are innocent because you are not" Ruka said meddling in their conversation.
He turned around his seat so he could look at them. He knew Natsume was not really going to talk with him, he was busy thinking about something while he was looking out of the window.
"What's with him?" Yuu asked, almost whispering.
Ruka knowing what he meant shook his head.
"I don't know, just leave him for today" Ruka said and looked at Natsume.
He knew his best friend knew what they where saying, his best friend is not stupid, but Ruka decided to ignore it for just today.
"It's getting dark" Koko said.
Ruka nodded.
"When are we going?" Yuu asked, concern written all over his face.
"Not today, another time" Ruka asked and looked away, feeling a bit guilty.
"Why?" Koko asked, annoyed by the answer.
"Can't you just read my mind?" Ruka asked.
"I already know, that's why I'm asking why" Koko said.
Yuu looked confused for a minute but suddenly got it.
"Ah that's why, but why?" Yuu asked, making no sense at all.
"If you know why then don't ask my why!" Ruka said, getting confused.
"Not that why idiot! I mean the other why, why from why" Koko said, also making no sense at all.
"You are the idiot here. There is only one why!" Ruka said, trying to keep his patience.
Why are they even having a discussion about why?
Yuu just scratched the back of his head while looking at the two friends, who are having a discussion about an useless topic.
"I'm not an idiot! You are the idiot here! You don't even know the difference between a why and a why!" Koko fired back.
"There is only one why, dammit! You're making no sense at all" Ruka said now losing his patience.
"You are making no sense at all!" Koko said.
He was actually playing with Ruka because he likes to see the boy frustrated sometimes other than being the nice guy in the group.
"You both shut up!" Yuu said, trying to hold his laugher.
"No you shut up!" They both said, on the same time.
The 3 boys looked at each other before they burst out into laughter when they realized what they where actually doing.
Natsume, suddenly jumping out of his thoughts turned around, only finding his friends like a mad man laughing.
Natsume raised an eyebrow at the sight.
"What's going on?"
Only being asked that question they laughed more not caring about how idiot they looked.
"Don't piss in your pants" Natsume sarcastically said before turning around again.
He looked at his watch, class was over very soon. Suddenly his heart started pounding very fast and a familiar scent filled his nose, his throat became very dry and he started coughing only feeling the pain of his dry throat.
Ruka looked behind him and stopped laughing when he heard Natsume coughing. He took a bottle of water out of his bag and gave it to Natsume who gratefully took it. He saw his best friend drinking, when he stopped drinking the bottle was empty.
"Thanks" Natsume said as soon as he could talk again.
Ruka looked concerned at him while Yuu and Koko stopped laughing. To avoid their questions and stares Natsume decided to leave class. Again he looked at his watch, 10 till 15 minutes are still lasting before classes end so it won't be a big thing if he left now.
"I'm going to throw this" Natsume plainly stated and stood up.
The whole class looked at him. Girls swooning while boys where hoping to become his friend so that they would be popular with the girls too.
He didn't even glance at the substitute teacher when he walked past him, nor did the substitute teacher stop him. Natsume could feel his friends stares at his back but decided to ignore it.
Outside the classroom he went to his locker and took his coat. He was sure Ruka was going to bring his things. After that he headed towards the main entrance of the school and stepped outside. He closed his eyes, trying to get his control back as he walked his way outside the school grounds. Even thought all the students where following their classes he still felt something was looking at him or rather someone.
Mikan was bored to death.
Just when she thought Social Studies was not that bad the teacher started talking about History. Not that she hated History, no it was actually the opposite of it, she loved it but not if people are starting to talk about how the technology was...what technology? Or how the Architecture was. No, she loved the kind of history they show in films, with these lovely dresses and accents. The way they act and write. The way they expressed love and go out. She loved it was not by her side this time so she ended up ignoring the teacher and looking outside.
She always sat near the window in class because she liked it because when there are times when she is feeling bored, she can look outside and start daydreaming.
Today was one of these day, right when she was about to enter her fantasies she noticed a familiar person walking outside.
Mikan narrowed her eyes, trying to see the person better. She only saw the back of the person so she could not recognize who he was. He was wearing a black coat and had raven hair. Suddenly the person turned around and their eyes met. Mikan's eyes widened.
"YOU!" Mikan suddenly yelled, standing up.
"Yes, Ms. Sakura?" The teacher asked, feeling very displeased.
Suddenly realizing what she just did Mikan looked around. The whole class looked at her and Mikan sweat dropped as she quickly sat down.
"I'm very sorry, sir. Please excuse my behavior" Mikan said while looking at the teacher with her innocent auburn eyes.
"Next time i won't leave you Ms. Sakura" The teacher warned her before continuing classes.
She looked outside again where the boy was still standing or rather chuckling. Mikan tried to glare at him but realized he wouldn't see it so it was useless. Before she turned around, getting annoyed she saw the boy waving at her, as a sign of goodbye. before he walked away.
5 minutes after the boy left, the bell rang signing that classes are over.
Mikan sighed in relief and stood up, placing her things in the bag.
"Hi Mikan!" Suddenly two voices from behind her said.
Mikan turned around and saw the pink and blue haired girl.
"How do you know my name?" Mikan asked before she mentally cursed when she realized she was being rude by not greeting them first.
"I heard someone calling you with that name, the girl with the raven hair" The pink one said.
"Ah, but um, maybe a rude question but who are you two?" Mikan asked.
She was already being rude so it didn't matter anymore.
The two girls look at each other before grinning.
"Gome! Actually my name is Anna and this is my best friend Nonoko. We'd like to be friends with you" The blue haired girl named Anna said.
Mikan was taken back by the sudden 'confession' but smiled brightly after she snapped out of it.
This made the girls smile also.
"Of course i want to be your friends. You both seem very nice" Mikan said, cheery.
"Great! We have to go right now but we want to hang out with you tomorrow, is that okay?" Nonoko said a bit disappointed.
Seeing the girl disappointed made Mikan feel guilty.
"You can go, it's alright. If you had asked me today i couldn't go anyway because i need to go for groceries" Mikan said.
Nonoko cheered up a bit.
"Alright then bye bye Mikan-chan!" Both said ad walked away.
Mikan sweat dropped. They both acted more like a twin than best friends. Suddenly remembering she needed to go with Hotaru, Mikan sprinted out of the class.
"What took you so long?" Hotaru asked when Mikan appeared.
It took 15 minutes for the idiot to come out of school.
"Gome. I was just talking" Mikan said while scratching the back of her head.
Hotaru raised an eyebrow but kept silent. Mikan noticed that Hotaru wasn't asking her further.
"What happened?" Mikan asked, looking at her best friend concerned.
"I have to confess something" Hotaru said while students walked past them.
Mikan got curious and nodded as a sign to keep talking.
"You know about me and Ruka right?" Hotaru asked.
Again Mikan nodded.
"He's the best friend of that Hyuuga guy" Hotaru stated while looking emotionless.
Mikan blinked, it took a while for her to let the information get through her.
"WHAT?!" Mikan yelled, finally realizing what Hotaru just told her.
Hotaru just looked at her best friend and started walking as she saw people looking at them.
Mikan rushed over to Hotaru.
"You are the girlfriend of that idiot's best friend?!" Mikan asked, sounding displeased.
She tried to imagine what kind of person her best friend's boy was but she ended up thinking that probably he was a very cold person and liked blackmailing too, just like Hotaru.
"Don't start thinking now, Mikan" Hotaru warned her.
She knew Mikan could think of some ridiculous things. She, Hotaru herself, was even surprised she ended up having a relationship with such a person.
"HMPH" Mikan childishly said and turned around, making sure that if Hotaru would turn around to look at her, her back was facing her.
"You're ignoring me now?" Hotaru asked, not caring at all.
Hotaru knew Mikan was bad at ignoring her. At the same day Mikan would always come to her and talk to her again.
"I'm doing groceries alone" Mikan suddenly said when a idea popped into her head.
"Why? Just because I'm dating Ruka?" Hotaru suspiciously asked.
Mikan shook her head.
"Then?" Hotaru asked.
"I will surprise you" Mikan said and smiled brightly and turned around to face Hotaru.
"I don't like surprises" Hotaru plainly stated.
Mikan looked at her with puppy dog eyes. Hotaru noticed that and sighed.
"Bring me back to home and this idiot to the shops" Hotaru said to the driver and sighed.
Mikan hugged Hotaru as a thank you which Hotaru shot Mikan with her baka gun as a you're welcome,idiot.
The way to home actually was ten minutes but because it was snowing the driver had to be careful so it took twenty minutes before they reached home. Before going to the shops Hotaru had warned her to not buy unnecessarily things and to not take too long. Again it took 20 minutes to go to the shops. Mikan looked at her watch, school had ended about a hour again (if you added the 15 minutes Hotaru needed to wait) and it was now 4:30pm and by the time she had ended groceries it would be around 5:30.
'Hotaru probably went to Ruka-san because I'm going to cook today with the maid as a surprise. So if I'm done with groceries it will be around 5:30 and then it will take twenty minutes to home so it will be 5:40, then it will take a whole hour before everything is finished, it will be around 6:40. Usually Hotaru comes around 7:30 home so that we can eat together so i have exactly 3 hours'
A/N: I forgot to mention. The Italic parts are the thoughts of Mikan (or others) you could also recognize them by the '..' instead of the ".."
Around 5 o'clock Mikan arrived at the grocery shop. She felt very jumpy when she saw all the chocolate cookies and ice creams and if she could, she would have bought them all but Hotaru warned her to not buy anything unnecessary and if she would, she will shoot her with her baka gun.
Mikan took crabs because Hotaru really likes to eat those. For herself she took some vegetables and chicken. She thought about the maids, they where always cooking and cleaning for them. Mikan decided to buy some Chocolate for them, to show them her and Hotaru's appreciation. After that, she looked around. She took some chips and ice cream even thought it was freezing outside. Some milk, tea, cold drinks and of course the hot chocolate milk package. After that she payed for the products and left the shop. She gave the bags to the driver, to put in the car.
She actually wanted to look around some more before going home but that would take a long time.
Suddenly she had an idea.
"Can you please give these things to the maids first, i want to look around some more. After that, you must come back. Okay?" Mikan asked.
"As you wish ma'am" The driver said.
Mikan smiled thankfully and watched the driver, drive away. As soon as she saw the car out of side she started walking. Even thought it was dark by now. Most of the people were coming from work right now so she didn't have to worry about being kidnapped because there where a lot of cars on the road and people on the street.

"I'm going outside" Natsume said to his best friend.
"Why?" Ruka asked suspiciously.
Natsume was acting a bit strange after their talk with that person and Ruka was getting worried. Soon, his girl friend was getting over but that would not be the reason for Natsume to go outside because he would usually just sit in his own room.
"Do i need to have a reason?" Natsume asked.
"Just be careful...If you really want to do it" Ruka said, embarrassed.
He didn't like talking about what they would usually do at night.
Natsume nodded and headed outside. He ignored the stares he got from the women. He decided to go to the shops to buy some drinks so that he could take his medicine. Even thought it didn't really work on him, he kept using it. His heart was still pounding fast and his thirst hadn't disappeared either. Never in his life has he felt like this before, almost losing his control.
After a couple of minutes he arrived at the shop and bought himself a drink. He opened the bottle, put the medicine inside his mouth and drank. The pounding of his heart slowed down and he felt a bit better. Not wanting to go home yet, unless he wanted to see how Ruka was flirting with his girl, he headed out of the city.
The snow looked as if it was getting thicker and thicker each step he took. He noticed that there still was a blooming Sakura tree a few meters ahead of him. Fascinated by the beauty of the tree he walked towards it the he noticed a familiar person standing there, looking at the tree. He couldn't see the face of the person because his or her back was standing on the side Natsume was. Even thought something inside him told him not to go, he ignored it and walked towards the tree. Each step he took, it was harder for him to breath but he kept walking, being the stubborn person he was, until he fell on his knees.
The person turned around, revealing a brunette. By seeing the brunette Natsume moaned. The scent that made him lose control filled his nose again, the third time today. Natsume started to pant, as if he had run a marathon and tried to keep himself under control.
"You!" The girl said, pointing a finger towards him.
Natsume didn't say anything what apparently annoyed the girl more.
"What are you doing here?" The girl asked, taking a step closer to him.
Natsume knew he couldn't keep himself in control forever with this girl standing just two steps away from him and no one around.
"G-Go away, little girl" He managed to say without panting.
"I have a name you know and it's Mikan Sakura" Mikan said as she looked at the boy who was still sitting on his knees.
Natsume glared at the girl.
"GO AWAY!" He yelled
Mikan took a step back but when he saw the boy holding his throat she began to feel worried. Not everyone would fall on their knees, pant as if they had ran a marathon while holding their throat.
"Hey, are you okay?" Mikan asked concerned, while she took two steps towards Natsume before bending down so that she could look in his eyes without looking down.
She touched his forehead to see if he had a fever but Natsume just slapped it away.
"Don't touch me" he told her.
"Jeez, I'm just worried" Mikan said.
Suddenly she saw his eyes and shivers went through her back. Instead looking into ruby eyes, she looked into blood red eyes.
"What's with your eyes!" Mikan said while she suddenly felt really cold.
"M-Mikan please, go away. B-before it's too late" Natsume said while he looked at her neck.
'Natsume, what's wrong with you? I cannot leave you like this" Mikan said and touched his hand.
Natsume didn't have to power anymore to slap it away.
"It's because of you! -pant- -pant- Go -pant- away! I can't -pant- control myself any longer -pant-" Natsume said.
Mikan touched his face.
"I'm not going anywhere" Mikan stubbornly said.
Natsume who couldn't control himself anymore suddenly pushed him and Mikan up and slammed Mikan against the tree, caging her with his arms. Mikan moaned. Natsume looked up to look in the eyes of his victim.
"It's too late now" He said before bending down her neck.
"Natsume, what are you doing?" Mikan asked, feeling his finger trailing down her neck.
"I can't control myself any longer" Natsume whispered in her ear.
He licked her neck, opened his mouth and bit her. Natsume felt as if he was in heaven and wanted to
have it all.
"Natsume, enough!" Mikan said, too surprised to be in pain.
The raven haired boy ignored her and continued drinking her blood. She suddenly felt hot and tired, as if she haven't slept in a while.
"S-stop it Natsume, you're k-killing me here" Mikan managed to say while her vision was getting blurry.
Natsume, who could hear her didn't want to stop. He wanted more and more and more.
With her last strength remaining Mikan pushed Natsume away. She slowly bent down with the tree supporting her. She was feeling very weak while she held her bloody neck. She looked at the boy in front of her who she pushed. Blood dripped out of his mouth and even thought it look scary, he wasn't looking bad either.
Natsume wiped the blood of his mouth and looked at the girl, guilt written all over his face. His eyes softened when he saw the girl who couldn't even manage sitting on her own.
"What are you?" She asked, almost whispering the question.
Natsume looked away, to ashamed of himself.
"You are a vampire, aren't you?" The girl asked or rather stated.
"I..I'm" Natsume started to say.
He took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry" He managed to get out of his mouth.
Mikan felt as is she was floating between reality and a dream. Everything felt like a dream and she just wanted to sleep.
"You are a vampire" Mikan repeated while she couldn't believe what just happened.
Suddenly she remembered what happened to her parents. To tired to be afraid or to escape from him Mikan's eyes started to close slowly. Natsume noticed that.
"You are a.....vampire" Mikan said before she finally lost conscious.
The last thing she saw was the raven haired boy rushing over to her side while some curses escaped his mouth. (curses/swearings)

Well anyways, please mind the grammar ( i really need someone for that) and i hope you enjoyed this chapter. Like i said, the future of this story lies in your hands.
