Chapter IV: Mikan's Fiance

"Mikan! Wait up!" Anna said as they caught up with Mikan's unusually fast pace. From her back view they could conclude she was fuming, just a little bit more and smoke would come out from her nostrils and ears, like a train.

Mikan did not mind them, she was too furious of what just happened earlier. She said sorry because she did not mean it.

"Mikan!" Hotaru called out.

Then what now? That Hyuuga would think she put on an act just to be able to kiss him? Him? Of all people? Oh, come on!

"Mikan!" Hotaru called out once again.

That Hyuuga would surely get a piece of me! Wait until dismissal he'll see how I could be the girl make him scream mommy! That idi-! BANG!

Mikan's thoughts were cut off with a loud bang. Hotaru hit her with her infamous baka gun all because Mikan wouldn't listen. That's how scary Hotaru is.

"Itai! Hotaru! What did you do that for?" Mikan asked, massaging the top of her head which is now pounding because of the great impact of the baka gun.

"You wouldn't listen, you dummy." Hotaru said, passing by Mikan, leaving her with a bump on her head.

Anna and Nonoko followed Hotaru, and told Mikan to just catch up when she would feel better. They said they had a lot of things to finish.

Mikan just nodded and grunted as she touched the bump on her head. The bump was starting to show, after all, it was a really great impact. She shrugged the pain and went to the classroom to finish the activity she was working on awhile ago before they had a break.

The moment she entered the classroom, she scanned the whole room looking for her friends. And there they were, sitting and were doing the activity, except Hotaru. She already finished the activity given to them. She too, sat down and continued what she left.

A few moments later, she finished the activity and just chatted with her friends, totally forgetting about the scene just earlier.

Just then, their adviser came in and interrupted the fun chat they were all having. With a false cough, he started talking in front of everyone.

"Okay, class. I'm back. And I'm here to announce what he have just agreed in our meeting. We have agreed that every year level would be supporting a charity. And of course, in order to implement the rules well, we would have a leader who has a great influence to lead you all. And considering your number, instead of an individual, I would pick a pair to lead you to make things easier and convenient for the both of them. As the meeting was going on, I have already thought who I am gonna pick. Do you want to know now?" Narumi-sensei said, elaborating clearly his intentions.

"Yes of course, Narumi-sensei. We want to know who would lead us. Just make sure you pick the right choice." Koko shouted from the back of classroom, gaining approval from his classmates.

"I'm pretty sure I've picked the right pair. Although I don't think they get along very well. I haven't seen them talk with each other yet." Narumi-sensei said, putting a hand on his chin, thinking of any circumstances his pair has ever encountered with each other.

"So who is it?" Sumire asked, and at the same time, brushing her hair in front of everyone, she has always been considered the class barbie doll after all.

"Alright, I've chosen Hyuuga Natsume and Sakura Mikan." Narumi-sensei announced proudly. Little did he know that this announcement of his, almost shocked the life out of our poor Mikan-chan.

The whole class applauded, they were interested how they would be able to get along, when they just had a scenario just awhile ago at the restroom of the academy cafeteria.

"Oh, brother." Mikan said to herself, covering her face with both her hands, leaning on her table in the process.

Natsume just smirked. This was a good way to introduce himself to Mikan. He has to admit, she has caught his attention. And to think, he didn't even make an effort. They've already kissed which was by an accident.

"Okay, Hyuuga, Sakura, please proceed to the Faculty Room right after the dismissal. I would give you some intsructions for the upcoming event you fourth years would be having." Narumi-sensei said to the both of them which even more enraged Mikan.

"Woohoo! This would absolutely be fun!" Koko shouted and as usual, earning approval from all his classmates with a roar.

"Quiet, class. We might get reprimanded by the other class." Narumi-sensei said to his students who were having fun in teasing Natsume with Mikan.

The day went on hard for Mikan and amusing for Natsume. This is surely going to be interesting for Natsume.

When dismissal came, Mikan bid her friends goodbye and went straight to the Faculty Room, not bothering to know Natsume's whereabouts. 'The hell I care.' Mikan thought.

Upon reaching the Faculty Room, she knocked on the door and it was opened by Mr. Narumi. Mr. Narumi welcomed her with a smile and asked her to enter the room and asked her to sit. Mikan scanned the room looking for Natsume to get this over with but he doesn't seem to be around here.

"Uhh, Narumi-sensei, where's Hyuuga? I thought we were paired up for this? How come he's not yet here?" Mikan asked curiously.

"Well, that's what I wanted to ask you, Mikan-chan. Well, can you do me a favor then to make things easier?" Narumi-sensei asked Mikan.

"Okay, what is it sensei?" Mikan asked.

"Will you please look for Natsume? We need to get this done as soon as possible. And maybe because you're his partner, maybe you could convince him to come here and talk about these matters." Narumi-sensei said.

"Well, okay. But may I ask you something, sensei, if you don't mind?" Mikan asked, brows raising up in the process.

"Why yes, Mikan-chan. What is it you wanna ask me?" Narumi-sensei said with a smile on his wrinkled face.

"Well, why did you choose Hyuuga to be my partner in this activity when you know yourself he's not responsible enough to follow simple instructions?" Mikan asked, curiosity obvious in her voice.

"Uhh, because both of you have great influences and I thought if I would pair you up, this activity won't turn to a waste." Narumi-sensei said.

"Well, you thought wrong sensei. But oh well, since it's your decision, I'll have to live with it. So, I'll go ahead now and look for that stupid man." Mikan said, standing up from her chair and leaving the Faculty Room.

Narumi-sensei sighed the moment she left and closed the room door. He never actually thought about them getting along which was very important in a partner activity.

"Okay, where do I start looking for that bloody man?" Mikan asked herself, looking around for any signs of Natsume Hyuuga. She thought about approaching Ruka for Natsume's whereabouts but she was too shy to do so. So, she thought of an alternative way.

She went to find Koko first. If Koko fails to tell her where Natsume is, there's always Yuu. When Yuu fails, she could consider approaching Mochu. When Mochu himself would fail, she has no other choice but to approach Ruka and ask him where the hell Hyuuga is.

"There you are, Koko! Can I talk with you for a minute or so?" Mikan asked, finally spotting Koko in the middle of a large number of people at Central Town.

"Why, sure Mikan. What is it?" Koko said, approaching Mikan.

"Well, uhm, you see, Hyuuga here is missing in action. Well, you do remember that Narumi-sensei asked both of us to go to the Faculty Room right? After dismissal?" Mikan said to Koko, not wanting him to think of the other way around.

"I'm really sorry Mikan, but as much as I wanted to help, I don't know where Natsume is. Try asking Ruka." Koko said.

"Oh, okay, Koko. Thanks anyway." Mikan said and went to find Yuu. Maybe Yuu's with Natsume right now.

The moment she saw Yuu, she saw he was with Nonoko. She found it hard to approach since they were a couple and she didn't want to ruin their time together. But oh well, scratch that for now. She needed to find Natsume.

"Errm, hi Nonoko, hi Yuu. Have you seen Natsume?" Mikan asked the couple.

"Oh, Mikan! I'm really sorry, but I don't know where Natsume is. Try asking Ruka, he probably knows." Yuu said.

"Oh, okay. Thanks, bye!" Mikan said and hurriedly went to find Mochu.

"God, this is getting tiring. Where the hell is that conceited man?!" Mikan asked herself furiously. And now, she thought, if Mochu would fail, she would have to face Ruka. So instead of finding Mochu, she went to find Ruka. She has to face him, surely he would know where the hell Natsume is.

The first thing that came to her mind was his barn near the northern woods of the academy. Ruka have always loved animals and the animals loved him back.

Mikan then went to the barn with no second thoughts. "He's probably there, feeding his lovely animals." Mikan said to herself.

The moment she reached the barn, she slowly opened the barn door and seen none but she could hear the sound of the guitar being strummed.

She slowly opened the back door of the barn, not wanting to disturb whoever was making this place and music as his refuge at the moment. The melody seemed sad.

She opened the door, only to reveal a certain raven-haired male whom she was looking for. But this time, she didn't feel like shouting at him and telling him where she has gone just to look for him. Instead, she knocked on the door softly, enough for Natsume to hear.

Natsume stopped strumming his guitar, a little bit startled, and turned around to see a beautiful lady standing at the barn doors.

"Hyuuga. I've been looking for you. Narumi-sensei said we need to go the Faculty Room right now for the instructions." Mikan said to Natsume, who was staring straight back at her.

"What's this? The famous Sakura Mikan stalking me?" Natsume said discreetly as he stood up with his guitar.

"Yeah? You're so full of yourself." Mikan said, walking ahead of Natsume.

Natsume just stayed silent and put his hands on his pocket. He admired the way she gets mad at him whenever he teases her; may it be direct or indirect.

The moment they reached the Faculty Room, Mikan knocked on the door, catching Narumi-sensei's attention.

"Oh, there you are. Come on in, it's getting late, let's finish this as soon as we can." Narumi-sensei said, ushering the students inside and making them sit on the couch.

"Okay so, first, the donations. I know each of you would be generous enough to donate a fair amount of money. What I want to ensure now is the treasurer. Any volunteers among the two of you?" Narumi-sensei asked.

"Uhh. Does it have to be any of the two of us?" Mikan asked back.

"Well, not necessarily but I do think it would be much better since you would be facilitating the group. And I don't think there would be any responsible individual among your classmates." Narumi-sensei replied knowingly.

"Okay, Mikan volunteers." Natsume said to Narumi-sensei, not minding how Mikan would be reacting.

"Sure, I don't think this Hyuuga kid can resist on spending it on his vices." Mikan said.

"Hn. Whatever." Natsume replied.

"Okay, you two, enough about that. Mikan then would be the treasurer. Next, we would be dealing with kids, and by that, I mean all kinds of kids so please make sure all of your classmates would treat them nicely. We don't want to ruin the reputation of our school, now do we?" Narumi-sensei said, opening another agenda.

"Hai, sensei. Is that all?" Mikan said, nodding.

"Why yes, you both can go now." Narumi-sensei said.

"When would we visit the kids anyway?" Natsume suddenly asked as he stood up.

"Hmm. I guess, a month from now. Don't worry, I'll inform you." Narumi-sensei said, standing up as well.

"Okay, ja ne, sensei." Mikan said, waving a hand at Narumi-sensei.

Just when they got out of the building, Mikan slapped her head and said, "Oh, shoot. My car."

"What about your car?" Natsume asked, wondering why she reacted that way.

"I forgot that dad got it this morning for a show. My money's there, how would I get home?" Mikan asked.

"Hn." Natsume said and dragged Mikan along with him to his car.

"Uhh. Where are you taking me?" Mikan asked, but was not answered by the great Natsume Hyuuga.

The moment they reached the parking lot, Natsume unlocked the car doors of his Bugatti Veyron and sat inside. Starting the engine, he lowered the window on the passenger's side and said, "Inside, you idiot."

Mikan then opened the car door and sat, at least this guy could actually do something good. She closed the car door and closed the windows.

As Natsume steered the wheel to get them out of the parking lot, he asked out of the blue, "Where should I take you?"

"To the street across our main shop." Mikan said, crossing her legs in the process.

Natsume just took a quick glance on them and drove his car at full speed. He never thought he could ever do this to a girl, among all the girls he met, Mikan was the only one he drove to her house.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the Hasegawa mansion, it was really huge, Natsume had to admit.

Before finally going out from the car, Mikan said thanks to him and got off. From inside, he could see a lot of maids were waiting at the front door. He then dashed home.

Upon reaching the enormous living room, Mikan saw that a few of Mizuhara's friends were there. She went to her brother and kissed his cheek, greeting him.

Mizuhara's friends just said hi and a few how are you's to Mikan and continued what they were doing; watching a horror movie.

Mikan then went upstairs, to her room. She changed and went down for an early dinner. It was still 6:30, as she glanced on her Gucci wristwatch.

The moment she finished eating, she did her homework, tidied up and went to bed early.

The next morning, she went early to school. She made sure she won't be late on her usual meeting time with her famous girl friends. They chatted while waiting for the bell to ring and then went to their respective classes a minute before the bell rang.

When Mikan and her friends were eating at the cafeteria during break time, Mikan's cellphone suddenly rang. She fished it from her bag and read, Daddy. She excused herself talked to her dad.

"Hello, Dad, what is it?" Mikan asked.

"Mikan, please go home early. An important person would be meeting you. I won't take no for an answer. I've already agreed."

"Who's this important person, dad?"

"Just go home early to know who this important person is.

"Sigh. Alright, I will."

"Okay dear, bye." Mr. Hasegawa said and hung up.

Mikan then went back to the table where her friends were sitting in. The moment she reached there, her friends asked her who it was and what it was all about.

"Uhh. It's Dad. He said I need to go home early, he said I would be meeting an important person." Mikan said.

When dismissal came, she bid goodbye to her friends and went home. The moment she reached their mansion, she could hear some people and the voice of her parents.

Just when she was about to enter to the front door, a butler stopped her and said, "Miss, your dad said you need to pass by the back door and change to a formal dress first before you show up."

Mikan nodded and passed the back door. She knew it would be futile if she would object, it's not a big deal anyway.

The moment she was done, she checked herself for the last time on her mirror. The woman in front of her wore a purple-black corset dress that reached above her knees. The upper part was heart-shaped and was purple with black outlines. The black corset hugged her body perfectly; it had purple ribbons which were tied at the front part. Below the corset were black shiny belt and a ruffled black skirt.

She wore black gladiator heels for her sandals and had her auburn hair loose. On each side of her forehead, the hair there is braided into medium size and was encircled to her head, forming a crown. She wore light make-up and a pair of dangling silver earrings with a few matching rings and a bracelet. And perfect, she was ready for dinner.

She slowly went down their enormous staircase, but caught the attention of the people below. A jet-black haired teen, probably her age, looked up at her with amazed eyes. The mid-aged people too looked up at her and smiled. She just smiled back of course.

The moment she reached the living room, her father put an arm around her and introduced her to the Nakajima's.

"Mr. and Mrs. Nakajima, this is my daughter Mikan Sakura." Mikan's dad said. Mikan just smiled and kissed their cheeks as a sign of greeting.

"Hello my dear, pleased to meet you." Mrs. Nakajima said to Mikan, smiling at her as well. Mikan just smiled back and said, "Pleased to meet you too, Mrs. Nakajima."

"Oh and, Mikan, this is Kazuma Nakajima, your future fiance." Mikan's father said, which shocked Mikan. But Mikan was good at suppressing her shock and smiled at Kazuma.

They both greeted each other and talked. All through the dinner, Kazuma did mostly of their conversation, Mikan doesn't seem to like the fact that she would be marrying this guy.

"Uhm, Mikan, are you alright?" Kazuma asked.

"Y-yeah, I am." Mikan replied with a smile on her face.

Mikan thought hardly of ways to convince Kazuma to not marry her. But she couldn't possibly humiliate herself in front of him so she thought of an alternative plan. Then, an idea struck her.

'Hey, why didn't I think of that earlier?' She asked herself, thinking about her "amazing" plan.


Hmm, what do you think is Mikan's "amazing" plan? Please review! :]
