MIKAN'S POV

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

I am SO dead right now.

If my cover is blown, lots of dreadful things might come upon me. I'll probably get demoted and be assigned to Janitor Duty (I hate that stupid mop!!) and I also might get a bad reputation among my fellow angels. Anna and Nonoko-chan are very particular about their friends' reputations and they're the only angels who actually care for me! The rest of them just snob me and treat me as if I'm a low-life angel. I can't afford to lose two more friendships.

Before I could stir up more miserable thoughts, the boy returned with a stout man with a red face. He wore a brown toupee, black rimmed glasses and had a strange looking mustache which I sincerely thought was a caterpillar.

He walked up to me and studied my exhausted and terrified face very well. He obviously seemed to have not noticed my tiny wings that were peeping out of my back. He finally stopped staring at me (Thank God) and folded his arms.

"Please come in" he said.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

The house was simply enormous. Chandeliers sparkled in every room of the mansion and there was a soft, red velvet carpet that was soft to the feet. There were massive portraits of important looking people lined up in the hallway and long, slim windows beside them displayed a beautiful moonlight and a vast garden. It was beautiful.

We entered a huge room where a maid handed me a white robe to wear. I put it on and then resumed following the man. The two of us each sat down on a soft yellow arm chair which faced an ornate coffee table and another maid put a tray of coffee. I've heard the other angels discuss about that drink once but I've never took the time to try it, well – I'm not exactly sure if there was ever coffee back at home.

He took a cup and stirred it a bit and popped into two cubes of sugars in. I watched him stir as the sugar dissolved in fascination. He sipped a bit of the coffee then placed it down. He looked at me and clapped his palms together.

"So, what's your name?" he inquired.

"Sakura Mikan" I replied promptly.

"And where are you from?"

This was beginning to sound like a job interview with preposterous questions. Why should I answer that question? It's going to blow my cover.

"Well you see I'm from…."

I stopped. What could I say? I knew nothing about the places of earth and I didn't even know where I was now. I looked out the window to see if I could get any idea of where I could say I was from but alas! All I saw was a never-ending garden and the moonlight.

"You don't remember?"

"Well…you see…"

"Please. Don't take the trouble of explaining. I'm going to help you…er…what's your name again?"

"Mikan Sakura"

"Yes. Mikan. Why don't you spend the night with us and we'll try to figure out where you were from. We'll let you know if we've dug up any information in the morning. So please, make yourself comfortable. By the way, how old are you?"

"Sixteen and a half"

"Just like one of my sons," he responded. "Anyway, Azuki will take you to your room. The bathroom where you may shower is just down the hallway, alright?"

He then beckoned the maid to bring me to where my 'room' was. As the maid ushered me out the door, I stopped and turned to the man who was now continuing drinking his coffee.

"I'm sorry but who are you?" I asked, embarrassed at I didn't know who he was. He was obviously an important person and it was humiliating that I wasn't aware of his fame and importance. I turned red at the way he laughed. I felt so stupid.

"Kouhei Hyuuga" he said.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I was lead to a huge maroon colored room with blue drapes hanging over the big show window that viewed the vast never-ending garden. There was a plush queen sized bed with fluffy pillows and a warm quilt. There were two ornate bedside drawers that each had a tiny gold lamp. There was a closet filled with extra pillows, towels and a cute pair of slippers. It was the cutest room I've seen.

I fell on the bed and felt around the warm blanket. I watched the maid, Azuki take out a towel from the closet and walk towards me.

"Would you like to have a bath, Ms. Sakura?" she inquired softly.

The thought of a luxurious bath filled with bubbles seemed enticing. So I agreed.

"Alright. Please make yourself comfortable and I'll draw your bath" Azuki said, bowing down and leaving the room.

A few minutes later, she returned to my room. "Ms. Sakura, your bath is warm and ready"

I followed her to a gigantic bathroom, my feet brushed against the cold marble floor and I examined the room's detail. There was a gold toilet and two gold sinks that had a lot of perfumes and soaps crowded over it. There were two show windows that had two gold curtains drooping down over it. In the middle of those two picture windows was the bath tub which was the size of a small car. There were bubbles all over it and it simply looked inviting with the smell of lavender and peach bubble bath.

Azuki walked towards the door. "Do you need anything else, Ms. Sakura? I'll have some pajamas ready for you in your room"

"Oh no, that's okay. Thank you" I said and Azuki left. I removed the robe and went into the bath tub (surprisingly, my wings have disappeared. I don't know why). Oh God, it was as wonderful as it looked at. I sunk my body into the fluffiness of the bubbles and relaxed into the comfort that was in it. I simply ADORED it.

A few minutes later, I was satisfied with my bath already and rinsed myself. I drained the water in it and watched every bubble of wonder drift into the drain. I took the towel that Azuki gave me and wrapped it around my body. I faced the sink to check what soaps or beauty stuff the household had.

I decided not to put any cologne anymore and faced the door to walk back into my room. I opened the door coming to find the dark haired boy looking right into me. I turned red. This was much more embarrassing than our last encounter because this time we were millimeters apart and I was just in a freakin' towel!!!!

"YOU PERVERT!" I yelled and hit him on the chin. He fell on the floor and stood up.

"You're that girl from awhile ago!!! What the hell are you doing in my house?!"

I couldn't reply. I was just too embarrassed. I ran out the door to go to my guestroom when I was stopped by an opening door. The door hit my nose and I fell on the floor, welcoming a nosebleed.

Another boy walked out of the door, he looked about four years older than the one I've seen. He had black hair like the other boy but this time he had soulful sapphire eyes and he looked much kinder than that hideous one which I met earlier.

He helped me up and my face turned scarlet for I was facing an older guy in a towel.

This was so embarrassing!!!!

XOXOXOXOXOX

"Gomenasai. Please have patience with us" Mr. Hyuuga said, after his son ran to him telling him that there was an unknown girl in a towel that bumped on his door.

"Oh, that's okay" I replied and adjusted my pajama top. At last, I could face them with a full dressed body and not just some towel or remnants of torn clothes.

"Okay, I would like to introduce my sons. Natsume and Tsubasa – Tsubasa, Natsume – this is Mikan Sakura, she's our guest for now until she finds her way home"

The older one (who was likely to be Tsubasa) stood up and bowed.

"Natsume" Mr. Hyuuga said with a tone of exasperation. "Show the girl a little decent respect, will you?" he whispered.

"I'm not bowing to some girl who runs around the house showing off her body"

"YOU…" then I calmed down and sighed. This wasn't the time to get angry.

"I'm sorry for my son's rudeness" Mr. Hyuuga apologized.

"That's okay"

"So, Tsubasa is nineteen and Natsume is sixteen"

Nineteen…so he's probably in University and that Natsume dude must be in third year high school…

"So I guess we better get to bed now, ne?" Mr. Hyuuga said, standing up and straightening his pajama pants and yawning.

The four of us went to our rooms. Apparently, my room and Natsume's room were beside each other.

"So we live next to each other…" I said softly.

"Hey, stupid" Natsume said, turning to me.

"Don't call me stupid!!" I shrieked.

"Whatever, moron. You better pay high respect to me"

"And why should I? You're just a boy!"

"I'm the son of the Prime Minister of Japan!" he snapped and went into his room.

Son of the Prime Minister?

WOW. That's rich.

But with his attitude, this is gonna be one hell of an experience.
