Now on with the story:

"So Mikan which dress do you like?"

Mikan looked at the two Hyugga's with suspicion. "What is this about?"

"Just pick a dress out of those two for yourself. It can't be that tough now can it?"

"Well it's not tough at all, I want the blue-black one."

Natsume smirked and Kendiar simply shrugged.

"Now will you tell me?" Mikan asked her boy-friend Natsume in exasperation.

"Sure, Dad was bragging how he knows you and Kia so well and you love the things he chooses for you. So we laid a bet to see who could choose a better dress for you and obviously you like the one that I chose."

Mikan looked at the pale pink dress that Mr. Hyugga had chosen and said "Sorry Uncle, but Natsume wins hands down, although he would have lost if it would have been Kia choosing, for she loves your choice. So, what did Natsume win?"

"That's why I laid the bet about you, Mikan, and I win Dad's jaguar for a year."

Mikan let out a low whistle, just as Kia joined in the conversation "You won his brand new car? This will be fun."

"Thanks a lot Kia," Said Kendiar wryly, "anyways, I got a dress for you as well and it's in your room."

"I already saw it and I love it."

"Mikan, will you wear this dress at tomorrows party?"

"Of course Natsume, but lets go now, we still have a lot of preparations to do before the party."

Kendiar smiled as he saw Mikan and Natsume leave. It had been a few years since the advent of the Sakuras into his house and those had been amazing years. Tomorrow he was going to announce...

"Kendiar lets go! I also want to see what is going on." He smiled at the young girl in front of him, and stood up. "Yes, let's go."

Mikan's POV

I can not remember the last time I was so excited. I, Mikan Sakura, in my last year of Masters, am as excited as my younger sister, it's a funny thought. But that has to be so as today is the big day. Natsume's big day, and to think he's the only one who does not know about it yet, to him it is just a grand party celebrating him completing his MBA. I just can't wait to see his reaction when uncle announces it in front of the world.

I love this dress he got for me, even though it was or a bet. But I can hardly complain, on most occasions, I wear clothes of his choice as he knows exactly what I want, and gets it for me, even before I say anything. He is every thing to me, my best friend and my boy friend. My love.

I just hope everything goes as planned today.

Natsume's POV

I could feel the vibes of excitement that everyone was giving off. I don't understand what the big deal is though, I mean c'mon, it's just a degree that I've got, not conquered the world. But if they want to be happy, I'll be happy with them.

"Mikan, will you hurry up." The girl is weird. Mostly she does not care how she looks but today she actually went back to check how she looked even after spending hours getting ready, this can only mean 'that something's up.

"I am ready, quit yelling."

"Finally, now I am officially late for my own party all thanks to you." I saw Mikan smile as if saying that, delaying me was exactly what she wanted to do. This is getting interesting.

Normal POV

"All right, what should I know before I enter this room?" Natsume asked Mikan when they were right outside the party hall.

"I love you." Natsume looked at her stunned. "What the..."

But she used his amazement at her words to move past him and push open the doors. The spotlight was trained on them and she quickly slipped past him and joined the crowd, which was clapping for some reason.

Natsume walked in as if he knew exactly what was happening, yet those who knew him best could tell that he was clueless.

"Come here son." Kendiar beckoned him over to the podium where he stood with the mike in his hand.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the new Vice President of Hyugga Corp. Natsume Hyugga."

The room was filled with applause.

"I'll get you back for this." Natsume whispered as he took the mike from his father.

"Thank You Dad," he said aloud, "it is an honour to be a part of Hyugga Corp. and I will work hard and raise its name to even greater unheard of heights. "

Natsume walked down the podium, to be besieged by people congratulating him. He shook hands with all of them and answered them all politely but he was looking for his friends. Then he saw them, beaming at him, waiting at a distance for him to be free. Mikan stood there as well with Kia.

When he reached them, he shook hands and got a few slaps on his back. It was obvious that his friends had known beforehand, and that they were proud of him.

"It's nearly morning!" Ruka spoke surprised.

"You think?" was the sarcastic reply from his girlfriend, Hotaru.

"No wonder all guests are gone." He continued as if he had not heard her.

"I hadn't noticed that." this time Natsume was the sarcastic one.

"Give him a break guys, what are you getting at Ruka?" Mikan asked kindly.

"Time to go to bed." He said happily.

As one they all slapped their heads.

"Damn it, he's drunk." Yuu, Koko and Tsubasa said at the same time, and then burst out laughing.

"I guess we all are, at least most of us are tipsy." Nonoko said giggling.

"Indeed time for bed then." Natsume said getting up. One by one, all his friends followed suit.

They all had their own rooms in this house, as they stayed here very often. Nothing had changed over the years, they were all still friends and because of Kia and Kendiar, Hyugga mansion was their preferred haunt. They were all doing masters but Natsume had finished early; proving once again that he was a genius.

I hope u like it n the next chapter is continuation of this one. n i'll post it really soon.
