***She's The One***
Chapter 2
"Natsume-sama, the food is already serve. Please head inside, master is already depressed that you've been arranging the flowers for three days." one of the servants from the palace said but, Natsume didn't respond. The garden is a very memorable place for him, there's no way he can leave the garden torn and destroyed.
Currently, he's been planting new plants, roses, sunflowers, rose bed, blue roses. Different colors of roses, just to say that Natsume loves rose so much that he himself doesn't know the reason why.
"Alright, alright. Just tell father to eat ahead and I'll eat later." He took a deep breath and swipe off some sweats that was dripping down the sides of his cheeks.
Not to mention that today was a very hot day. But, even so. The weather didn't stopped Natsume from rebuilding the garden once again.
"Natsume, dear. You need to eat so your stamina will stay full. Please don't push yourself too far, we can ask the maids to arrange the garden back for you anytime." he heard his Mom requested, he stood up and faced his Mother and bowed down.
"I'm really sorry Mom...But, this place is just too precious for me to let it be arrange by someone else. I want to rebuilt it with my own ability and feelings," pleading tone was heard from him. His mother didn't have any other choice but to agree.
"Alright. But once the clock strikes to 1:00 PM sharply you will go to your room and rest...Besides as your mother I know how precious this place is to you." a giggle and smiled was spotted upon her lips, Natsume just sighed in relief that his mother understand how he feels.
"Now, let's get back to work!" Concentrating once again as he took the small shovel and begun on digging the soil in the right measurements for the flowers to grow healthy and comfortably.

"Mikan, did you get the chip that I was ordering you to get?" within the dark side, a hint of deep, gloomy and terrifying voice was heard.
"I'm sorry master, but my calculation failed. I didn't expect that there would be an enemy guarding the place." She bowed down sincerely, but the apology wasn't enough for him to be satisfied to her answers.
"Whoever it is, execute that person! Remember your mission Mikan and remember...Who created you," he smirked as Mikan bowed once again. She stood up properly and faced her master without shaking nor feeling frighten.
"Activate: No-hesitation mode. " he caressed her cheeks and lean in closer and whispered the codes that made Mikan listen to.
"No-hesitation battle mode granted." She obediently replied as the man laughed out loud.
"Mikan...Don't let my hopes for you be wasted...No-hesitation mode means...?" He paused and luring Mikan to finish his sentences, assuring that she understands his every command
"No-hesitation battle mode means... Whoever it is who stand in my way of completing the mission will be executed without a farther hesitation." the man laughed while patting her head like a good little pawn which he can control whenever he wants.
"Now go along," Mikan nodded leaving with her eyes beaming bright brown.
"Yes...Master."

I still have some time to finish off this part of the garden, and I'll completely finish all of it tomorrow.
I was already satisfied so I headed inside the palace already, I'm getting kinda hungry now. And as I walk through the corridors and pass some other rooms, I finally reached the dining room.
My eyes couldn't believe how the food was perfectly prepared, it's like there's a special visitor whose going to come, or more like there's going to be a feast in here.
"Oh! Natsume, did you ate already or you haven't eaten yet?" I turned around to see that it was Ruka again. Geez! What is he doing here?
"Never mind that...What are you doing here?" I raised my other eye brow as I stared at him intensely. I only heard a giggle from him as he walk forward to me.
"The Queen and King said that there's going to be a visitor here." So, my hunch was right huh? Wait...Did he said Mom and Dad? (What Ruka meant about Queen and King, he's talking about Natsume's parents.). Why didn't they told me about this?
"How come you know this while I don't?" I stared at him. More like glaring at him.
" Easy Natsume, your parents told me that you were busy arranging the garden back so they didn't want to bother you so much." he replied as I sighed and seat down on the chair to eat something since I'm hungry.
"Who's the visitor?" I asked as I munch the bread that was extremely crunchy.
"The Yukijiro's, The king and Queen said that the Yukijiro's are requesting for something...Which I don't know what..Sorry they didn't told me anything farther than that." I almost choke when I heard the name Yukijiro...Does that mean that Sakura will be there?
If she's going to be there, I'll be sure to ask her what her problem was for destroying the garden and trying to steal the chip.
"What time?" I added, not stopping after he replied.
"This afternoon, why?" I shake my head and stood up.
I better hide the chip in case she plans to steal it again. It's not like I'm suspecting her, it's just what they called...alert.
"Hey, where are you going?" Ruka asked as I continued on walking, I'm heading for the garden of course!
"Stop following me and head back to your Hotaru." Even though I'm not facing him, I can still guess that his blushing deeply since I mentioned her name after all.
"I-it's not funny Natsume!"I smirked as he turned around and walk away. Well, I better thank Hotaru later, since her name saved me haha!
And so, I walk over the garden and place my hand on the ground, I inputted the code and it opened. I took a handkerchief out of my pocket and wrap it around the chip and hid it again in my pocket. I closed the keeper and headed inside to hid it in my room.
Just to say, I built some secure keeper here for this special chip. Besides...I can't let this chip slip out of my grip since she gave it to me and favored me to keep it safe no matter what.
When I reached my room, I hurriedly went inside and locked the door and closed all the open windows.
I stepped on the secret key to open the hidden door in my room which was leading to my secret base where no one knows except for me.

"Ah! Good Afternoon, Queen, King and Prince Hyuuga." the man with brown hair and grey eyes bowed down as he held a gift box to us. Honestly, I'm not paying much attention to him and looked at the person beside him which was...No surprise, Miss Sakura.
"Good Afternoon, Miss Sakura." I politely bowed down as the three of them looked at me.
"Maa, maa. Natsume you already know her?" Mom clasp her hands together as she spread this happy flowery aura around. I just smiled and walk towards Mikan Sakura and stoop down, as I grab her right hand and land a kiss on it. Surprisingly she reacted and pulled her hand back.
"Good Afternoon, Prince Natsume." Oho, her talking seems to be normal now. It's kind a hard to act like this -_-''
"Mom, Dad and also Mr. Yukijiro. Will you excuse me and Sakura?" I pleaded as mom and dad nodded in unison as I pulled Sakura by hand and take her to the garden.
"How may I help you?" She bowed down politely as I bit my lower lip from irritation.
"Why did you destroy my garden and tried to take the chip?" as I asked that kind of question. Her expression remained blank.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Shit...I'm getting more and more irritated.
"Stop pretending Miss Sakura, I know that you know what I'm talking about," she remained silent as I took a deep breath and took out a camera.
"If you don't talk, I'll just show you this," her eyes shaken a bit when I showed her the video which was the time she ruined my garden.
"...You can call me Mikan. And I'm sorry, I'm forbid to tell you anything that is not relating to your business." she turned around and headed back to the dining room.
I didn't just stood there and followed her quickly.
"Ah, you're back Natsume!" I looked around but I didn't found Yukijiro anywhere, but then a thought came into my mind as I look at Mikan...Wait-She's here so...Where could he be?
"Oh, if you're looking for Mr. Yukijiro. He left already, and before I forgot, Mikan will be staying with us because her guardian (Yukijiro) will be away for weeks and he can't bring Mikan with him. So hope you'll treat her nicely ne?" Everthing started to move slowly as I ring Mom's words back...And finally it hit me.
"WHAT?!" When I glance at her direction, Mikan looked surprised too. But that expression didn't last long as she returned to her usual expression, which was blank.
