Chapter 1:

Today Aoi was in a complete mood off. Why? Because today was Sunday, she had no plans, her friends were busy, her parents went for some tour, and she could not she You-chan today. Not that he noticed, but she liked to see him. So she did the only alternative left to her- bug her sleeping brother. Natsume had come home late yesterday, and was very tired. So he was still sleeping. Aoi crept silently into his room and looked at his brother. He looked so calm and cute when sleeping. She suddenly jumped onto him, "Goodmorniiiiiiiiiing!"

Natsume woke up with a start in panic, just to find his sister on him. He was so irritated, "Get off Aoi. Don't bother me. Find something else to do." He pushed her away, and lied back to sleep.

"But bro, I have nothing to do. Please wake up. I am bored."

"Then find someone else to piss off. Leave me alone."

"Bro, you have a holiday today. I am not going to waste a day I have the great Natsume Hyyuga with me. Come one. Wake up. We can go out today. Get up."

She pestered him until he had no other choice but to get up. If it was someone else, he would have slapped her away by now, but this was his sister.

Both of them got ready and were out. Aoi had planned shopping, eating out, and then going somewhere to enjoy. But little did she know that the day won't go as planned. Both went to the shopping mall. Mikan and Youichi were also there to buy a few daily necessities and a new dress for Youichi for his birthday which was just two days away. Natsume was not the least bit interested in girls' shopping. Aoi was looking around for a shirt to buy for her brother when she spotted Youichi. She immediately tugged her brother, "Onii-chan, look, look over there. That boy is here. You-chan is here." Natsume looked in the direction pointed, "That guy with silver hair? Aoi, seriously, is he your classmate?"

Aoi pouted, "Bro, he is my classmate, my crush, my idol, my moon in the night. Isn't he cute?" Natsume chuckled, "Hey you are openly saying that you have a crush. Isn't that a bit odd?" Aoi shook her head, "I am having my first crush of my entire life and you find it a joke. I am serious." Natsume nodded, "So does he know you?" Aoi shrugged, "well he knows that I am his classmate, after all he is our class representative."

Aoi dragged her brother towards him. When they were near they saw him with another brunette.

Natsume smirked, "Looks like your crush is taken." Aoi pouted and looked at them. They were having a debate.

Mikan asked her brother, "Come on You-chan, take this or that or that. They look good on you. You will look like a pince." Aoi shook his head, "I've already told you my budget limit. I am not going to pay more than that, even if you are willing to buy it." Mikan looked at the shopkeeper, "How much does this cost?" The shopkeeper said the rate. Youichi pointed, "See? I told you. It is 50 yen more. I am not taking it. Let's go to another shop." Mikan was in thinking when she heard the rate. She hated not being able to buy something for her brother, that too for his birthday. She looked back at him with teary eyes, "But it is your birthday. Let me buy this." Youichi did not like her sister's hard earned money to be spent on such things, but the more he hated when his sister cries. He looked at her with a tender expression, "But it will just be spending more, and I don't want to waste money like this. It will just make you work harder. I don't want that."

Natsume and Aoi were listening to their conversation. Aoi had tear-filled eyes on seeing this exchange. She went to them, "Hi Youichi-kun! Can I buy you the dress for your birthday? Please, pretty please." Mikan looked at Aoi and then at Youichi, "You-chan, who is she?" Youichi shrugged, "She is my classmate, Aoi Hyyuga." Then he looked at her, "And no, I don't know you." They heard a snicker from behind Aoi; it was Natsume. He patted his sister, "He doesn't know you. Well that was well said. So Youichi would you like to know her now? And I don't think 50 yen is a too big amount for us."

Mikan looked down in shame, while Youichi stood up and glared at Natsume, "Oh of course, your father must have donated so much money to beggers like you. But here money is valuable, so we don't waste it." Mikan immediately put a hand on Youichi's shoulder, asking him to control himself. Natsume and Aoi were taken aback. They were never spoken to like this. They always had fans and praisers. Natsume stepped forward, "I think you understood me wrong. I am telling that spending 50 yen is okay for us, so we will give that money so that you may buy that shirt. I would have paid the entire amount, but I think you won't accept it. So I said that."

Youichi looked at her sister. She shook her head. Aoi noticed this, "Oh please, I just want to give him some present. There is no bad things attached to it. I would be happy to spend all my time on him, but I never spoke more than a word with him. Please o please."

Youichi and Mikan looked doubtful. They were never given such offers. Aoi asked Mikan, "Are you free today?" Mikan nodded. Aoi beamed, "That's superb. Well it's decided then. I will have all 3 of you for my treat today. No excuses. Whether you like it or not." She looked at the shopkeeper, "we are buying that shirt. Pack it." He nodded and left. As Aoi was paying, Mikan went to her, "Only 50 yen. The rest I will pay." Then they went to purchase dress for Natsume. It was Mikan selection that he liked. After the purchases, they came out of the mall. Mikan turned to the Hyyuga siblings, "well thank you. I will repay you in due time." Aoi shook her hand, "No you need not. It is for Youichi-kun after all. I don't mind. Where are you going now?"

"Home" was the reply from Youichi. Aoi face went down, "I thought I will get to spend the day with you." Mikan's face suddenly brightened. She looked at Youichi, "You-chan, shall we take them home for lunch?" Youichi shrugged. She looked at Natsume then, "will you come to have to lunch with us? Or do you have any other plans?" Natsume thought about his sister spending time with her crush. He nodded. Aoi jumped into the air, "Thank you. Yeppiee!"

The four of them walked to the parking lot. Mikan was stunned with the siblings car, "That... That is your car?" Youichi grumped at her stupidity, "Didn't you hear me? They are the Hyyugas, i.e. the heirs of the largest company in Japan." Mikan was literally stumped, "Ow... Oh... I see." Natusme thought that he gained another fan girl. Poor youichi will lose his girlfriend, he guessed. He looked at Youichi, "Anyway, who is she? You never introduced her. Is she your girlfriend or your junior fan?" Youichi laughed and replied, "haha, You are wrong. She is Mikan Sakura, my elder sister."

It's true, Yoichi looked elder than Mikan. The things they have to go through made them like that. Natsume was surprised at that fact, he actually thought that Mikan was the younger one. He waved his hand and then pointed to Aoi, "Anyway, let's go. This little thing here actually tires me." All of them walked towards the car except Mikan. Youichi called her, "Onee-chan, let us go." Mikan looked down, "Um Youichi, we will go by the bus. And Hyyuga-san, I don't think I can make anything worth lunch for you. You better go ahead as per your plan." Natsume was again surprised, no one talked to him like that, "It is ok. I am tired of eating out daily." He walked to Mikan and whispered in her ear, "why do you think I am doing this? My sister has a crush on Youichi and I am giving them a fair chance because I like him."
