ASSASIN'S LOVE
By : xXcherrysXx
Chapter 2: What Now?!
Her eyes were directly on the dagger that is placed at her throat, held by no than other the famous murderer, The Kuroneko. Mikan is really scared…. no she is really terrified of thinking that The Kuroneko will kill her instantly at that time. But now… The Kuroneko is no other than Natsume Hyuuga, the heir to the biggest company in Japan, the Hyuuga Cooperation.
"What do you want to do with me?" he asked her in calm, cold and a very dangerous tone… and that scare the hell out of Mikan. She looked at him directly in his crimson eyes and answered him.
"What would I want to do with you? NOTHING! I just took care of you since you passed out that night when you saved me from those drunken men! I just want to pay you back!" Mikan snapped at him.
Flashback
Mikan's POV
What should I do with him? Should I help him or not? Well… he did saved me from those men… I guess I have no choice than to help him…he is bloodied up and have many wounds…I led him to his feet and leaned him to me… god, he's heavy.
I brought him to my house and dressed his wounds…woa! He got quite a lot of wounds on his body. Let see… who is behind this mask… I pulled his Kuroneko masked off. This made me jumped… "NATSUME HYUUGA?!" I yelled. Natsume Hyuuga is the famous murderer? The heir of the richest company is the famous murderer? Well… don't care about that now. The thing that is important is to dress his wounds first.
End of POV
Natsume Hyuuga didn't seem to wake up after two days unconscious. Because of taking care of him, Mikan had to lie to her teacher and her manager where she works at that she is sick and can't get out of bed. Well, the on the third day, Mikan decided that she should go to school as well as her work. She had missed to many classes at school, and she would have a problem to catch up the syllabus.
When she got home, Kuroneko or Natsume Hyuuga is no where to be seen. He might have left. Mikan thought… but she was wrong. On cue after she thought of that, a pair of strong arms pushed me and pinned onto the wall. A dagger was placed on her throat. Then she realized that the famous murderer is the one who is holding the dagger. Mikan gulped. Mikan Sakura, an ordinary girl is now facing the famous murderer, The Kuroneko.
End of Flashback
"Now would you mind to move that dagger from my throat, before you kill me? I don't want to die in teens," Mikan said as she sees that Natsume Hyuuga didn't take any action when she said her purpose of bringing him to her house, but only god knows how terrified she is. Natsume Hyuuga slowly removes the dagger from her throat and backed away. Mikan sighed in relief and muttered thank you. Natsume just stared at her from top to bottom until his gaze fell onto the white plastic bag full of groceries at her right hand. Mikan noticed what he had been staring at.
"Are you hungry? It's been two days since you passed out. So I expect that you would be hungry when you woke up. I'm gonna make some dinner tonight, so would you please sit down and be quiet. You can watch the television or read the mangas that are on the shelves. Just please take well care of it, because it was my late father's," Mikan said and she walked into the kitchen leaving the stunned Kuroneko.
Natsume was startled by her behavior. Usually people would run if they saw The Kuroneko, or girls would scream and drooling at the sight of him. But this girl is different. She didn't run nor drool at the sight of him like other girls would. He went into the living room and look at the shelves. Its true, there are a lot of mangas in it. I wonder how she knew I like to read mangas anyway? Natsume thought.
Mikan found him silently reading manga inside the living room when she'd finished cooking. "Dinner's ready. Please put the manga back to where it was," Mikan said. (well, Mikan is an organized girl in here) Natsume didn't say anything while they were eating. Miakn, a person who can't quiet down broke the silence.
" Ne,.. sorry I took off your mask without your permission. Its just that it would be easier to dress up your wounds with that mask off. So, I accidentally know your identity without meaning to… but, can you let me go? Pretend that this didn't happened at all? Please?" Mikan asked. But all she got is a quiet person for an answer. This made Mikan angry. "Hey! I'm taling to you, Mr Hyuuga! So please answer me."
"Its gonna be worse than death, Polka dots…" he answered her with a cold tone. Mikan kept silent for a while.
"Worse than… wait… polka dots? Well… that's… my… my…" Mikan's face started to flushed red. " You.. you saw… you… PERVERT!!" Mikan yelled at him. Natsume just shrugged.
"you're the one who show it to me, stupid, " he said and wear his Kuroneko cloak. Natsume started to walk into the night.
"HEY! I'm not done talking to you! HEY!" Mikan yelled after him. But it was no use. Natsume Hyuuga was already out of sight. "What the hell is going on with him? Something worse than death? What is worse than death… no… nothing is worse than death… or is it? No… I don't think so…." Mikan said to herself. He was just scaring me so wouldn't tell anybody his secret, that must be it. Mikan thought.
Meanwhile at the Hyuuga Mansion, Natsume just got home and he was very tired. His mother, Riku Hyuuga came to him and attacked him with a machine gun of questions. Natsume was too tired to and he was not in the mood to answer his mother questions. So, he just ignored her and simply walked away to his room.
"What's wrong with him? He never ignored my questions before," Riku asked herself but more likely, to her eldest son is there. So, he is the one who answered her.
"I knew what happened, mother, and why he is not in the mood tonight. A girl knows about his biggest secret," Persona, Natsume's eldest brother said.
"A WHAT?" Riku yelled.
"A girl mother. A lovely brunette by the name of Mikan Sakura," Persona continued.

Next morning breakfast time in the Hyuuga mansion. It was normal for their family to have breakfast and dinner together… but still the unusual about this family… is they are all tooo untalkative… not like Mikan. Who didn't follow the rules that were made by the mistress if the mansion will face the wrath of the mistress itself.. well except the master. So they never disobey her.
"I knew what happened Natsume. Who is this girl?" Riku asked her middle son. Natsume just shrugged. Persona and youichi, the youngest of the Hyuugas snickered. Natsume immediately knew who is behind this. "I want this lovely brunette… that is what I was told from Persona, to join us for dinner tonight. No objections… whether you knew this brunette or not, you will have to follow the family traditions… understood young man?" Riku continued.
"Tch. Whatever," was Natsume's only reply and he strode off to the campus.
Aikawa looked at his second son's retreating figure, wondering what are they talking about.
"Hon… what are you talking about? And what does this have to do with the family tradition?´he asked his wife. Riku just smiled sweetly at him and give him a file of information on somebody… A girl? Aikawa thought. "Miss Mikan Sakura… what about her?"
"You'll know," Riku answered with a sweet smile. This little brunette knows about Kuroneko's BIG secret. And Natsume will follow our decision whether he like it or not," she continued.
"Riku, are you sure she doesn't act like the others? You know what I mean," Aikawa asked.
"Nonsence! Of course I'm sure about it. She also have her own fanclub at school. Very popular." Riku said. "Oh goody… she will join us for dinner tonight.. I will have a chat with the chef.. please excuse me."
