Hello~ Sorry for late update! Hope you enjoy reading!
Sol's Cafe
A slightly tanned tall blonde man walked in the coffee scented cafe. He was about to flirt with the waitress that greeted him until he spotted a familiar raven head and strolled over to him.
"Hey Natsume."
"You're late," Natsume irritatedly said.
"Sorry, my girls wouldn't let me go."
"Whatever, more importantly where's the list?"
"Right here." Ruka pulls out a bunch of folders from his bag and handed them to Natsume.

"Some of them are well known names, why would they want to pretend to be my wife?"
"I know how. For an example Hikari Asuka, she wants to stop men and stalkers from following her. Therefore she wants to get married but her father won't let her marry just anyone. In the case of Jennifer Sato, she wants her family to stop arranging blind dates. Her parents forbid her to continue her research unless she get married."
"Hn." Natsume continues to go through the folders as Ruka explains why they'd be a good "wife."
~30 min later~
"For one, some of them are under aged. I'm 28 already, don't you remember?"
"Hey, I saw a couple on TV with a 14 years difference and they're getting married next month."
"Well I don't want to be blackmailed by threats like suing for under-aged sexual harassment. Besides, I don't trust any of them. They don't have a good reason. I can't blackmail them if in case something happens."
"Why? Once you get married you can inherit the company right away and ditch her."
"I have a feeling my old man is going to test me, and I have this gut feeling that if I go through that test with any of these girls, he'd find out in less than 5 minutes."
"Obviously they're not actresses, unless you want actresses."
The moment Ruka said actresses, Natsume tensed and banged on the table.
"Hell no. I'd be damn crazy if I had an actress do it. They'll cling to you unless you threaten their life."
"Alright, alright," Ruka raised his hands in defense, "I'll search around some more but it'll probably take a few days."
"Whatever, I'll see you later then."
Natsume stood up and left the cafe but before he left Ruka yelled, "Oi! Aren't you going to pay?" Natsume ignored him and continued to walk out.
"God, what am I going to do with him?"
_Next Day_
At 6 in the morning, Natsume flips through the piles of papers on his desk in his silent office. However that peaceful silence was interrupted by a call from his secretary.
"Mr. Hyuuga, a call from Ms. Imai."
"Imai? Why is she calling?"
"She says she has something important to discuss with you."
"Put her on the line."
"Yes sir."
"Hyuuga speaking."
"Morning, Hyuuga. Had breakfast yet?"
"Cut the crap. What do you want?"
"My, my someone's grouchy."
"Considering this is a call from someone who blackmailed me over hundreds times, how else should I address you?"
"Well, I'm getting to the point. I heard you're conversation yesterday in the cafe."
"Yesterday? How the hell do you know?"
"I have my ways. Anyhow, I get a perfect "wife" for you."
"Firstly, I decide if she's perfect for me. Secondly, why should I trust her, presuming that she knows you."
"True, but I still have some secrets of yours that can be released to anyone at anytime. I sent you her information on her already, so go read it."
"Tch," Natsume opens the email she sent.
Mikan Yukihara
Age 26
Profession: Entrepreneur, Model
Heir to the Yukihara Co.
Names: Sexiest women of Japan; Miss Japan Year 2010; 5th influential woman in the japan; 35th influential person in the world;
Favorite color: Pink

Allergies: Peanuts
Natsume was a bit surprised when he read Yukihara.
"How did you know Yuki- acutally why would Yukihara want to pretend to be my wife? Unless you blackmailed her."
"No, I didn't blackmail her, although I could but no. She has some complications herself and being your "wife" would benefit her too."
"Why me though? I'm pretty sure you have other candidates too and if you wanted someone, you could get them without a cinch."
"True, but out of all the bachelors, you're the best option and you so happened to need a "wife" as she needed a "husband."
"I'll take that as a compliment. What are her complications anyways?"
"Ask her yourself but before that, do you want her as your "wife" or not?"
Natsume hesitated and thought for a while. Seeing as she has a lot of benefits in "marrying" he agreed, "I do."
"Fine. I'll contact her now. Meet her at noon in Sol's cafe."
Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed! :D
Author's comments:
-If any of the business's, cooperation, organizations, matches the names above (for an ex. Seven Auto-motives) obviously I do NOT own them. It was totally coincidental if they matched because I made the names for this story in my head.
-The Meiling Li mentioned above is the same Meling as Cardcaptor Sakura and of course I do not own her. LOL I thought I'd be fun some readers who know CCS and might think "Isn't Meiling from Cardcaptor Sakura?" kekeke~ ^_^
-Initially Natsume and Hotaru was not supposed to know each other but while writing, I figured it'd be more fun and natural if they did so that how their relationship came to be. XD
-Oh and I was debating whether for Natsume's secretary to address Natsume as Mr. Hyuuga or Hyuuga-san (same for Hotaru), even though they mean the same thing. I'd like to know your opinion: Is Mr. Hyuuga or Hyuuga-san better?
-Mikan Sakura does not have an actual allergy for peanuts in the original Gakuen Alice story, in case if anyone was wondering.
-This chapter was updated. I originally spelled Howalons as Howlans. Thank you to Vermilion Steps for telling me.
