Yeah... it's been a few YEARS since I looked at this story. I kept on getting e-mails from my old story and it made me feel like I should start this up again. Sorry if i made you wait REALLY long. lol. Oh well, the people that reviewed on this probably don't remember my story anyway :P

Anyway! Enjoy, favorite?, review?


Natsume sat at the end of the long dining table with his father on the other end. He played with his food on his fork and gazed at it. "Who was that?"

"What did you say, Natsume?" Takumi, Natsume's father asked.

"It's nothing," Natsume replied without looking up.

Takumi ate a piece of meat and looked at Natsume. "There's a girl that has moved into this house."

Natsume looked up at this.

"She's lost many loved ones and has very nice manners. She will be going to school with you in a few days and I know you will treat her with respect."

Natsume took much interest in the situation. "What's her name?"

"Sakura Mikan is her name. She likes to help out with the maids. Do me a favor and take her out to town or something. A girl her age loves to spend money on anything so go shopping together."

Natsume rolled his eyes. "It's sounds as if you want me to take her on a date."

Takumi smirked. "You said it, not me."

"I have a girlfriend."

"I'm not saying that you have to make her your girlfriend. Just take her out for a fun day."

Natsume placed his fork on his plate and properly wiped his mouth with a cloth napkin, then got up. "I'll think about it."


Mayu sat on Mikan's bed and swung her legs from side to side. "Mikan, what are you going to do?"

Mikan looked in Mayu's direction and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You're going to school, yet you don't have your uniform."

Mikan rolled her eyes and began to pack again. "Do I really need a uniform? It's too expensive for me…"

Mayu smiled and said, "Now that you live under this roof, everything you want is paid by the King." The maid got up and stretched her arms forward and then went to the door. "I'm leaving, see ya tomorrow!"

Mikan sighed and lay on her bed. "A uniform… I wonder what theirs look like."

A knock came from the door and Mikan answered it. Natsume impatiently stood in the hall. Mikan smiled and greeted him. "Hello, what brings you here?"

Natsume raised a brow. No bow? Doesn't she know I'm the prince? "I'm going to take you out to town."

Mikan put a finger to her chin and thought about it. "Well, I don't really need to go out so I'm sorry, but I'm declining your offer."

Natsume shrugged and walked away.

Hmm, he's kinda cute… I wonder where he goes to school. Wait…school… MY UNIFORM! Mikan widened her eyes and called out for the Natsume. "Um, pardon me!"

Natsume turned to Mikan.

Mikan looked down and twirled her hair in a childish way. "I… need to go and buy my uniform for school… so please forget what I said back then and let me go with you to town!" Mikan bowed quickly.

Natsume stared at Mikan for quite some time. She's the girl that I saw cleaning my room. Now that you think about it, she pretty hot. Natsume smirked. "No problem, I'll go with you."

Mikan looked up into Natsume's eyes and squealed with delight. She jumped up and hugged Natsume around the neck and let go. "Thank you so much! Then, I'll see you tomorrow!"

Natsume nodded and walked away again.

The brunette went inside her room and twirled around. "I'm going to get my uniform!"


"Hmm, I just finished washing some of the dishes in the kitchen… but I wonder what I'll wear today." Mikan put a finger to her cheek. "Ah well, I'll just look in my closet."

Mikan looked in her closet for some clothes to wear. There was an assortment of everything a girl could wear. It was twice as big as her old room.

Mikan sighed as she walked through the closet. "It's going to take me a while to find something," she said to herself. Mikan stopped walking and looked to her left. She saw something that she liked. It was a long sleeved, blue shirt that had bare shoulders, dark colored jeans, and blue 1-inched shoes. Mikan let her hair flow down and wore her silver necklace on her neck.

She nodded with satisfactory and went downstairs to the dining room. She greeted passing maids and sat down in a chair that was located beside the long dining table. Mikan sighed as she remembered her old apartment and how everyone sat next to each other.

"Is something bothering you, Mikan?" Hyuuga-sama asked.

Mikan shot her head up and immediately smiled. "Nothing is wrong. Thank you for asking."

Hyuuga-sama nodded and sat down at the head of the table. "By the looks of your outfit, you have gone through your new closet."

"Yes, I have. You shouldn't have done something like that. It's not worth it."

The King shook his head. "I need you to look your best everyday, Mikan. You are a representative of the Hyuuga household now."

Mikan nodded. "I understand."

The maids came in and brought in the breakfast which consisted of American style foods such as pancakes, scrambled eggs and French toast. It also came with cereal and cut fruits. Mikan ate with delight as she sampled everything that came. The King ate a wholesome portion also, but with poise and elegance.

"Um, excuse me for asking Hyuuga-san but where is your son," Mikan asked after placing her napkin down.

Hyuuga-sama rubbed his chin in thought. "I think he said something about already eating. He has something planned today. Anyway, it's a big house; it's hard to keep track of everything."

"Yet, you still have the ability to keep track of my whereabouts," Mikan said straightforwardly.

"Well of course, you are new here so you need extra attention."

Mikan bowed her head and got up. "Thank you for the meal. I should be going now. Excuse me." Mikan walked out of the room and fixed her heels on and waited outside the gates of the mansion. "I wonder when he's going to come."

Natsume walked around the corner to find Mikan waiting at the gate. "Oi, new girl!"

Mikan shot her head to Natsume's direction and smiled. "I was wondering when you'd get here."

Wow, is she clueless or what? "Hey, are you ready to go?"

Mikan nodded happily and ran towards him. "So do you know what store I can go to get my uniform?"

Natsume just kept his face forward. "Yeah, I need to get mine also."

"Okay." Mikan skipped next to Natsume's side in a happy manner. It was pretty silent besides the sound of feet falling to the concrete. "So what's your name?"

"Natsume."

"Oh, I see. Well my name is—"

"I know what your name is."

Mikan pouted because she hates being interrupted. She folded her eyes and looked forward also. She glanced at Natsume and smirked. "Well then, what is it?"

"What is what?" Natsume asked.

"My name," Mikan asked. "What is my name?"

"You're name is Sakura Mikan," Natsume said with a sly smirk.

Mikan let her arms fall out of their crossed formation and her jaw dropped. Natsume just kept walking with the smirk on his face. Mikan sighed and then smiled. "It's nice to meet you Natsume!"

"Yeah, same here," Natsume replied.

Silence returned and stayed until Mikan saw a store with manikins in the window with different uniforms on. "Is this the store Natsume?"

Natsume opened the door so Mikan could enter first. "Yup, come on."

A wide smile formed on Mikan's face as she rushed in. She stopped and twirled around as she saw many people getting their measurements, paying for uniforms, and trying them on. "Ne, Natsume what uniform is my schools?"

Natsume walked to a clothes rack and took a hanger off. On it was a navy blue blazer with a school emblem, a white button up shirt, a blue bowtie, and a black skirt. Mikan shook her head. "It's kind of… plain."

Natsume shrugged and called over a woman. "Please take her measurements for this uniform. And also, please call another worker to take my measurements for the male version if you'll be so kind."

The woman's eyes widened as she recognized who Natsume was and quickly bowed. "Yes, right away sir."

Mikan cocked her head. "You sure do get a lot of respect here. Do you come here often?"

Natsume's jaw opened slightly and then he slightly coughed. "You really don't know who I am, do you?"

"I know who you are. You're Natsume," Mikan told him as she shrugged.

Natsume laughed a little. "Oh, you'll find out soon enough."

A man and the same woman came rushing with the girl's uniform and a boy's uniform which had the same blazer, but with a thin, navy blue ribbon and black pants. They quickly took the two's measurements as Mikan and Natsume stood on circular platforms. After, they waited for their perfectly fitted uniforms which came in 10 minutes. Natsume came out of a fitting room, fixing his ribbon and turned his direction towards Mikan's fitting room. "Are you done yet?" he asked.

Mikan stepped out tugging the skirt down. "I'm done but are you sure the skirt's not too high?"

Natsume shrugged. "It's the same height as any other uniform. Wasn't your old school like this too?"

Mikan shook her head as she blushed. "I went to a public school so I didn't wear uniforms."

Natsume sighed and took a step closer to Mikan. He grabbed her hand and moved it to the side. He then fixed her tie in a neater fashion. He looked up and down at the tie and noticed that Mikan's skirt was tugged too low so he saw he underwear. He quickly stepped back and looked away, trying to hide his blush. "There, your tie looks better. Now tuck your shirt under your skirt."

Mikan nodded and lifted her blazer so she could do so. Natsume glanced at Mikan and blushed even more. He shook his head and pushed Mikan into the fitting room. "Fix it in there! Jeez, if someone found out that you were from the Hyuuga household then there would be trouble."

Mikan looked at the curtain in surprise. "How do you know that I'm from the Hyuuga mansion?"

She heard Natsume sigh. "I didn't say anything about that. I was just talking to myself so hurry up. I want to go eat something."

Mikan came out of the room once more and twirled. "Does it look good now?"

The woman that helped Mikan with measurements walked toward the two. "It seems as it fits perfectly! It feels okay, right?"

Mikan nodded and smiled. "It does, thank you very much!"

The woman looked at Natsume. "What about yours, sir?"

Natsume nodded in satisfaction. "There are no problems with it. We would like to pay now."

The woman nodded and told them, "I'll go get your receipt, please go change into your clothes."

Natsume and Mikan did as they were told and changed back into their clothes. They didn't wait long for the woman came once they came out. Natsume paid the woman and they turned to leave. The woman stopped them though. "I almost forgot. Here are your shoes." She held out two rectangular boxes.

Natsume took them and smiled. "Thank you for your services." Mikan also bowed and they left the store. After, Mikan was planning to go back to the mansion but then she saw the food stands, the stores, and the sites. She kept looking but from the bus stop to the town, bus stop to town, bus stop to town. Natsume noticed this and laughed. "If you want, we could go home later. This is your first time here right?"

Mikan looked at him with stars in her eyes. "Please do me the favor!"

Natsume nodded and Mikan ran off to a store. Natsume followed in a poised, casual moment when he went on for was actually thinking of how to keep track of this girl. The game of run and chase hours until Mikan finally sat down on a bench, happily licking a vanilla ice cream cone and Natsume did the same with his chocolate cone.

"Ne, Natsume?" Mikan asked.

Natsume looked in her direction.

"What's that picture of you doing there?" Mikan pointed to a poster which showed him in prince's clothes standing next to the Hyuuga king. "Do you know the king?"

Natsume stopped eating his ice cream and gave Mikan the weirdest stare ever. "This is going to be a big shock to you but, I am the prince."

Mikan stared at Natsume and many people looked in their direction. Before they knew it, many people crowded around the two staring at Natsume. Mikan was about to open her mouth but Natsume grabbed her hand and ran off which made Mikan drop her cone. "AHHH THE ICE CREAM!"

Natsume looked at Mikan and shook his head. "I'll buy you a whole gallon when we get back to the mansion, okay?"

"So… you are the prince." Mikan widened her eyes and ran quicker by Natsume's side. "I can't believe I didn't know."

Natsume smiled and hid in the shadows of a street corner. "Be quiet, those people might find us."

Mikan nodded and shut her mouth. In seconds, a stamped of people came rushing by them with cameras and paper in their hands. Mikan stepped back in shock of the sudden crowd and fell in someone's arms. "Natsume?" Mikan asked. She turned around and saw a total stranger holding her by the wrist. "No, let go of me!"

Natsume whipped his head around. "You heard the woman."

The man laughed and put an arm around Mikan's throat. "You are the King's son right? If you want her back, pay me."

Natsume stared at the man. "I don't bring money with me. I have people pay for me."

The man then laughed and pushed Mikan towards Natsume. He caught her in his arms and hugged her tight. "It was just a joke. There was no way I would mess with the Royal Family."

Natsume gave the man a smile and the two of them walked away. "I'm glad he didn't do anything to you."

Mikan smiled and put a hand on her throat. She reached for her necklace. It always gave her strength after a scary moment.

Mikan patted her neck but there was nothing. She checked her pockets but it wasn't there. Mikan looked around her but there was no sign of it. Mikan shook her head rapidly repeating the word "no", over and over again. She shook Natsume off her and ran back to the corner where she found the man walking away. She widened her eyes as she saw him twirling her necklace around his finger.

"GIVE IT BACK TO ME!" Mikan yelled.

The man turned around and looked at Mikan lazily. "Give you back what?"

"My necklace, you have my necklace!"

The man held up the necklace in his hand. "You mean this? What's so special about it?"

Mikan sniffed and rubbed her eyes but looked at the man with anger. "My mother gave me that necklace. It's important to me so give it back!"

The man laughed and turned in the other direction. "I don't feel like it. This thing is made of pure silver. I can cash it in for some real big money."

Mikan was about to yell again but a blur rushed by her and went right up to the man. It threw back the man and became clear. It was Natsume. "You said it yourself didn't you? Don't mess with the Royal Family. Now give her the necklace back unless you want to spend the rest of your life in hell."

The man looked in shock and slowly got up. Natsume held out his hand and the man used his shaky hand to put the silver onto Natsume's palm. The man took a few steps back and then ran off in a quick dash.

Mikan sighed in relief as Natsume handed Mikan the necklace. She put it on and began to smile softly. "Thank you… so much."

Natsume shrugged and patted Mikan's head. '"It was nothing. It's time to get back, don't you think?"

Mikan hugged Natsume around the neck and buried her head into his chest. "I'm so happy. I can't thank you enough!"

Natsume was hesitant but hugged Mikan back. "Come on, you don't want the paparazzi to catch us like this."
