A/N; I'm sorry I made a mistake; I forgot to put in Misaki Harada and Rei Serio [Persona] by accident. To clear things up for the future events Yuri Miyazono is the one with the female pheromone alice that was in the play that took place in the anime.

Thank you to my reviewers ; aha. I almost gave up on this story but you guilted me into it, that and I got tired of getting emails saying someone put me on author alert, which was such a surprise to me by the way, so I thank you all for the support.

Chapter 3: Let the Games Begin!

Mikan and Natsume walked inside behind Hotaru to find a multicolored arena, and contestants in their outfits for the show. They were soon led back stage to where all the contestants were to stay, for Natsume and Mikan this spelled trouble. Sumire and Luna quickly spotted the pair holding hands.

Being Sumire, she runs up and confronts them. "What are you doing Sakura!? Trying to steal my future husband?!" Sumire screeched.

"EH!?! I'm not! You see..." Mikan started, trying to squirm her hand away from Natsume, to be interrupted by him.

"She stays with me. She's mine." Natsume stated, looking the other way but tightening his grip on Mikan's hand.

"Bu-but! Natsume!" Sumire fumed as Natsume dragged an innocent looking Mikan away along with him.

Luna was observing the scene, and finding out how to get back at dear Mikan because of her mother for all these years; her target, Natsume Hyuuga.

A/N; The grudge Luna holds against Mikan has to do with her mom Yuka. I'm sorry if I spoiled it for those that didn't read up to that in the manga.

As Natsume and Mikan walked elsewhere, Tsubasa came towards them, though Natsume was the only one that noticed and tried to walk away faster, in vain.

"Eh! Mikan-Chan!" Tsubasa cried.

"Tsubasa-senpai!" Mikan exclaimed.

"Hey, I see you're with black cat here." Tsubasa remarked suggestively wiggling his eyebrows.

"I am, apparently he's my escort today." Mikan fumed, missing the suggestion.

"Polka, if you don't want me to be your escort, go with shadow freak; I could care less." Natsume spat coldly, rather upset that Mikan didn't enjoy being with him much at all.

"Eh? Natsume I want you to be my escort," Mikan stated. But before anyone could answer to her response, Hotaru came around riding on her invention, the flying duck with yet another one of her inventions, invention 403 the voice magnifier oddly in a shape of a duck.

"Bakas, the show's starting. Now all the guys step outside when Nogi calls your name. Girls, wait till I tell you to go out one by one." Stated Hotaru plainly as everyone scattered off to their positions.

THE SHOW BEGINS;

Ruka; Welcome to the premiere of Bachelor meets Bachelorette! Now to introduce the gentlemen of the show!

Youichi Hijiri; the ghost alice:

"Eh, hey." –blank expression; spirits appearing and flying around-

Reo Mouri; the voice pheromone:

"Why hello everyone." –smirk-

Tsubasa Ando; shadow manipulation;

"Heys, how're you doing?" –smiles-

Rei Serio; death alice;

"hmm?"

& Natsume Hyuuga; fire alice;

" Tch. Lets get this over with." –fireball in hand-

Ruka: Now to introduce the ladies of this party, and to see who is interest in who so far, and who will end up yet, alone at the conclusion of the show. As each lady comes out, you have to say one comment about her. But before we do that lets give a warm welcome to Yome Kokoro better know as our friend Koko! Yes, you guessed right, the mind-reading alice. Lets have some fun, shall we?

[in the background the guys are shooting death glares at poor Ruka who is humbly reading the script on the screen Hotaru prepared in advanced]

First up; Luna Koizumi! [stepping out in a light blue tunic dress]

Youchi – Koko: Eh. Not nearly as pretty as Mikan-chan.

Reo – Koko: Hey, she's nice.

Tsubasa – Koko: Shes pretty decent.

Rei Serio – Koko: Hmm, not bad.

Natsume - Koko: Ugly.

Here comes Sumire Shōda! [stepping out in a light green flowing dress]

Youchi – Koko:Oh she's that Natsume fan girl, what a loser.

Reo – Koko: She's that cat girl that ruined my plans. Hmm, interesting.

Tsubasa – Koko: Eh, not my girl to rate, I know who shes aiming for. –looks at natsume-

Rei Serio – Koko: That cat girl is of no use to me. Luna was prettier.

Natsume – Koko: Ugly.

Ruka; That was a little harsh. –looking at the sad expression on Sumire's face- I wish better luck to the next contestant;

Misaki Harada! [Stepping out in her light pink bubble dress]

Youchi – Koko: She's pretty.

Reo – Koko: Eh, I better lay off Tsubasa here seems smittened.

TsubasaKoko: HEY ! I'm not smittened, I'm just…attracted.

Rei – Koko: Eh, not my type.

Natsume – Koko:

Ruka: Ok then! And here comes:

Yuri Miyazono! [Stepping out in a yellow cocktail dress]

[The girls that were standing on the side stared google-eyed at Yuri-san

–A/N: remember: female pheromone-]

Ruka: And last but certainly not least, Mikan Sakura! [Stepping out in her lilac lace dress]

Youchi- Koko: Mikan! I won't let oni-san take her away from me –blush-

Reo – Koko: Ehh this looks interesting, the nullification alice user. Isn't she the black cat's girl? –Natsume cringes at this comment-

Tsubasa – Koko: Eh. She's almost as pretty as Misaki… Oh shit they're going to hear this. Darn you mind-reader!!!

Rei – Koko: Eh. I'll leave her to Natsume.

Natsume – Koko: Now to make her mine, god, I forgot about that mind reader. Ugh, I feel just as stupid as that shadow fre- I mean Ando.

Ruka: So there you have it! Don't you sense the tension already? This was just a test to see who was interested, now we come to their personal profile, to see who you think is the better catch! Don't forget to text to 343894 and vote for the best match ups for a date. The couples who get the most votes will FORCEABLY be put on a date. Yes FORCEABLY. So remember to do that! We will leave on the personal profiles and a last look on all the contestants in the show.

After all the other pairs were introduced, and stepped aside, the last pair, Mikan and Natsume were introduced and concluded the show.

Ruka; Lastly Mikan Sakura escorted by Natsume Hyuuga!

-a typed profile would show up if you were watching this from the TV as Ruka reads off the information, as he did for the rest of the contestants-

Name: Mikan Sakura

Age: 22

Birthday: January 1

Height: 160 cm

Profession: High rank doctor at Alice Hospital

Name: Natsume Hyuuga

Age: 23

Birthday: November 27

Height 180 cm

Profession: CEO of Alice Corp.

Ruka: There you have it folks. Stay tune for the next installment of Bachelors meets Bachelorettes. I have two words for you: BLIND DATE. Remember to cast your vote, and let the games begin.

With that the glaring lights clicked off, and the set was full of scattering backstage workers, and exiting contestants. Luna found her way towards Mikan, held her hand, pulling her away from the crowd, Mikan being clueless as to whom this person was, and why they had led her to the opposite direction of the crowd, but soon saw it was Luna.

At a clearing, Luna uttered to Mikan, "You know, Natsume told me he hates you, hes just using you to get rid of that cat eared girl," in a cold voice. Mikan was speechless, absorbing what she had just heard, not understanding the point of that statement.

"Being as daft as you are, you probably don't get it, he doesn't like you, so stay away from him." Luna spat coldly, and turned to walk away, leaving a confused Mikan behind.

- END OF CHAPTER 3-

Next Chapter: Blind Date, Literally
