Mikan opened her eyes and was greeted by crimson ones their arms were hugging each other making them look like boyfriend and girlfriend.

Its weird being in his arms like this makes me like nothing can harm I want to stay like this Goddamn I just met him last night she thought

Its weird looking at this girl I just want to protect her wait WOAH slow down you just met this girl last night Natsume thought.

"Morning" they both said in unison. Mikan giggled while Natsume chuckled.

After a good 5 minutes she stood up and dusted herself. "AHHH a good summer breeze" she breathed the young lad watch amused at the lass' enjoyment.

-Pretty pretty please if you ever ever feel like your nothing your fucking perfect too me.

Mikan answered her phone

"Hotaru"

"Oi Baka "

"Why did you call?"

"Pack your bags you'll be living with my…friend"

"OMG! Thank you Hotaru I love you so much!"

Mikan hung up with a big smile on her face she's finally free or so she thought. The fire caster just stared at the nullifier as if she lost her mind.

Realization hit her, her smile immediately turned into a frown when she realized she might not see Natsume again.

"Oi girl what happened one moment you were happy and now you're somewhat sad?" he said, curiosity killed the cat "I need to go" she replied not bothering to answer his question.

"Eh? Ok fine bye little girl I guess I'll see you around" he bid with a hint of sadness in his voice "bye-bye!" Mikan yelled as she sprinted to her house.

Time skip

The brunette lass climbed up the tree and jumped in her window. Mikan packed her things since she was SO excited she finished packing in 10 minutes. The lass didn't have so many things because her mother never even bothered to buy her stuff.

Oh mom might be worried about me she thought

Dear mother,

I am going to go away and never ever come back so deal with it. Bye now don't bother to look for me you psychotic mother

Lots of hate,

Mikan

Mikan turned the door's knob, but it was locked. She looked behind her and saw the window a smirk played on her lips.

She placed the bag on her shoulders walked backwards until she felt her bag hit the door and now she ran and jumped.

The brunette lass knew she wouldn't be in a great condition when she felt the broken glass shards collide with her skin and hear the deafening cracking of glass.

Nonetheless she still landed on her own feet gracefully. The lass ran to Hotaru's house which was 6 blocks away.

Her long brown locks swayed in the breeze and a smile playing on her lips. Mikan stopped in front of her best friend's gate.

"Ah Mikan I've been waiting" a feminine voice said Mikan looked up and saw a raven haired girl with deep violet eyes, a warm smile made it's way to Mikan's face.

The gates opened. "HOTARUU!" Mikan yelled and hugged the raven haired lass. To brunette's surprise Hotaru hugged back.

"I missed you Baka" she said stoically, but her eyes are another story.

Time skip

Mikan sat on the couch fidgeting at the slightest creak

Flashback

Creak…

9-year old Mikan looked up the stair and saw a brunette with shoulder length hair and a scowl on her face she was Yuka Yukihara Mikan's mother.

"MIKAN YOU LITTLE BRAT!" she bellowed

"M-mother w-what did I do?" the little girl cowered in fear

"WHAT DID YOU DO? YOU PUT YOUR DISGUSTING HANDS ON MY THINGS!" she yelled while coming down

Creak…

"I-I was trying to be a good daughter and fix your things" Mikan said her tears rolling down her cheeks

"Good? GOOD?" she laughed evilly "Nothing's good about you, you killed your father"

"I did not" Mikan defended

"ARE YOU TALKING BACK TO ME?"

"N-no"

Yuka slammed Mikan to the wall. The little girl groaned in pain her sobs getting louder.

FLASHBACK END

Hotaru came back into the room with a tall blonde man with blue eyes he has a height of about 6'1 the aura around him seemed calm and serene.

"RUKA!" she yelled and gave him a hug the blonde chuckled "Mikan same as always" the brunette pouted and released him "Neh that is…true?" she giggled.

Knock Knock

"Baka answer the door" Hotaru ordered "mmm K" the brunette replied. She opened the door to her surprise it was Natsume.

"Mikan?"

"Natsume?"

They said in unison. Mikan got over her shock and hugged the raven haired lad. He just hugged back.

"Hmmm it seems you two know each other" Ruka smirked, but the two just ignored him and continued hugging.

"Neh thought I'd never see you again" Mikan breathed, she pulled away and looked into his eyes "Tsk little girl you get close to a stranger so fast" he teased "oh look who's talking" she defended.

"OI BAKAS GET A ROOM!" Hotaru yelled she has been constantly ignored the past few seconds the two 'bakas' sweat dropped, but nonetheless let go off each other and sat on the couch.

"Now baka I want you to meet someone he should be her right..about..now" she said and exactly at that moment

KNOCK KNOCK

The door opened and revealed a boy he has silver hair and emerald eyes, he has a height of 6'0 Mikan could tell that his age was the same as hers 16. The silver haired boy was wearing a simple polo with 2 buttons left unbuttoned, jeans and converse.

The brunette stood up almost immediately her eyes and mouth wide open. "Y-youichi!" she exclaimed.

Mikan hugged the silver haired lad "hmph hi to you too" he chuckled. Tears of joy formed rolled down her rosy cheeks.

Youichi Hijiri was Mikan's childhood friend they were inseparable the two were like brother and sister, but they have a weird tradition that all of the time makes people think their together they kiss each other on the lips Mikan and Youichi were doing that since they were 5 years of age. The reason of that was because many of the fan boys and fan girls were after them. (A/N back to the story)

"Don't cry now Mikan" he said as he cupped her chin making her look up.

Mikan looked into his eyes, Youichi did the same. The brunette closed her eyes while the silver haired leaned down and gave her a kiss it didn't mean anything but 'I missed you'. Mikan opened her mouth Youichi let his tongue explore her mouth she tastes like strawberry Youichi thought. After 3 minutes they pulled away.

The raven haired lad was fuming in the background damn it why am I feeling like this? Natsume thought.

"Mikan that I such a weird tradition you know that?" Hotaru said "You have been doing that since 5 years old will you ever stop?"

"No" they said in unison.

"MIKAN! He was your first kiss for God's sake" Hotaru complained yes the great Hotaru Imai complained.

Natsume heard what the lass said and was currently drowning in jealousy he couldn't believe this guy stole Mikan's first kiss and Mikan is allowing him to kiss her anytime.

Time skip.

After the commotion was over they sat down on the couches.

"So Hotaru who am I living with?" Mikan asked curiously

"Hyuuga" Hotaru answered stoically

"Mmm ok" the brunette said simply like it was the most normal thing ever

"You're ok with that?" Ruka, Youichi and Natsume asked in unison

"Yah Why wouldn't I be? Its better than living with my…mom" she replied while clutching her arm.

"Mikan arms and side now" Hotaru ordered

"But-"

Hotaru was fuming she rolled up Mikan's sleeve the lass' eyes widened the brunette's arm was covered with bruises, cut, glass shards and dried blood. The raven haired girl pulled up Mikan's shirt, but just enough not to let her bra show, there was large purple bruise.

"You had all these injuries and didn't care to tell me?" she demanded

"Gomene I didn't want you to worry so I hid it from you" Mikan explained

"She did this?" Youichi asked, Mikan merely nodded with her head low.

Hotaru bandaged Mikan's side.

"Mikan this is going to hurt...a lot" Hotaru said softly with a miniature tong "Oh God I wish I opened the window first" Mikan said to no one.

Unconsciously Mikan held Natsume's hand with her free hand. Hotaru proceeded to remove the glass shards and dropped them in a small tin

Clank…

Clank…

Clank…

"Y-youichi where have you been all these 10 years?" she asked it was sort of a sad subject "America" he answered

"Oh I was trying to find you these 8 years but I sort of…gave up" she said almost tearing up

"I'm so sorry Mikan" he apologized

"ok"

"Mikan your all done" Hotaru decided to butt in "Hyuuga take care of her". Hotaru handed Mikan a card "It has Ruka, Youichi and Hyuuga's cell phone number" the inventor explained.

Time skip.

Mikan's POV

Im now sitting on the couch in Natsume's apartment for an apartment it was really big. "Little girl follow me this where we'll sleep" he said "EH? WE?" i asked confused

"Yah we're sleeping together since I have no extra room are you deaf?" Natsume arrogantly answered "Oh…Ok then I'm used to it?" she answered insecurely.

Mikan this is gonna be one heck of a night I thought to myself.
