Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice :) I wish I do but I'm not, nevertheless, it's a relief that someone like Higuchi Tachibana-sama owns it :) I also don't own the Prince-like Hyuuga Natsume because he is owned by our one and only brunette with the name of Mikan Sakura. I only own the plot, m'dears :)

Mikan and others- 19 years old

Natsume- 22 years old

Chapter 23:

Mikan can feel the hard pounding of her chest while Natsume leads her in one of the rooms. She was nervous to meet the couple who took care of her beloved and at the same time, scared that they might not like her. But Mikan being Mikan, she drives the thought away and remain holding on the words that Natsume had said. She knew Natsume won't lie to her. So when Natsume told her that this couple is nice, she believes him in one snapped of a finger. They stopped in front of a mahogany door which Mikan thought is the room where the couple is staying. Natsume knocks on the door gently, while his other hand is holding her own hands. A few seconds later, a 60-years old woman opened the door. When the woman saw Natsume, her face suddenly lightened and a big smile was presented on her face.

"Natsume-sama!" The old woman shouted in delight and hugged the guy beside me. "You should have told us that you are coming so that we were able to prepare something special for you."

"Nah, it's okay Kaede-san. I really wanted to surprise you and Takou-san and besides, I don't want to be a burden." Natsume said gently and present a small smile to the old woman. "Anyway Kaede-san, where is Takou-san?"

"Ah yeah, why did I forget about that old man? Wait a second Natsume-sama." Kaede-san said before bowing her head for respect. The old woman left the two immediately.

"Ne, Natsume. I know I'm not that tall and attractive, but don't you think it's kinda weird that she didn't even notice my presence?" Mikan asked her company.

"Nah, Kaede-san is like that. Whenever she is talking to me, she tend to forget everything about her surroundings but me." Natsume said while giving her a smile. "But don't worry, later on she will took notice of your presence."

"Oh, 'kay then. But geez, I guess what you said is right. She even forgot about her husband which I find really funny and hilarious. And it kinda interest me that despite of her age, she is still energetic." Mikan said while she shook her head. Just then, Kaede-san came back with an old man beside her.

"Natsume-sama, welcome back." The old guy said while he bowed his head. Takou-san is the contradiction of Kaede-san. He is not the energetic type but you can see the happiness in his eyes when he saw Natsume.

"Thank you, Takou-san." Natsume said. Just then, the old man's eyes were diverted to Mikan. "Ah, I see you have company Natsume-sama. I wonder who is this beautiful girl beside you." The old man smiling.

"Eh? I didn't notice her earlier! I'm sorry for my rudeness miss." Kaede-san apologized.

"Oh it's 'kay! It's nothing really Kaede-san. By the way, I'm Mikan Sakura! Nice to meet you Kaede-san, Takou-san!." She said, beaming a big smile towards the couple after bowing her head.

"Nice meeting you, Mikan-sama!" Kaede greeted back, bowing also her head. The old man also bowed his head and gave her a smile. "You're girlfriend Natsume-sama?"

"Yeah. She's my idiotic little girlfriend." Natsume said smirking. Mikan glared at him and was about to retort when Kaede hugged her very tight.

"So you're the girl that captures the stone-hard heart of Natsume-sama! I'm so happy to meet you!." Kaede said happily.

"Anyway, Kaede-san. Can you please prepare the rooms that we can use? Thank you." Natsume said respectfully.

"My pleasure, Natsume-sama!" Kaede said, bowing her head as she made her way towards the other rooms.

"Natsume-sama, why don't you tour Mikan-sama around? I bet she doesn't want to miss the beauty of your property." Takou said. Natsume just gave him a small smile before wrapping his arms around Mikan's waist before dragging the latter outside. Mikan gave Takou a very big smile before letting herself dragged by the raven-haired guy.

It was chilly outside and Mikan was shivering. Just then, she felt something warm wrapped around her shoulders. She took a peek and found Natsume's denim jacket. Mikan gave Natsume a very big smile which made the lad blush.

"Thank you, Natsume." Natsume just shrugged and they continue their walk. Mikan is really awe with the place. She find it peaceful and serene, a place she never had a chance to visit despite all of the beautiful place she'd went to. The place is just so wonderful for Mikan, not only because of the contentment she felt in that place, but because Natsume is with her. She admits, she sounded like a lovesick fool who can write a poem or a book about the person she loves, but for her, it's something to be proud of and not to be embarassed. Falling in love with someone is just so nice. But for her, falling in love with someone like Natsume Hyuuga is just marvelous. True he can be sometimes pervert, rude and cold, but she knows that deep inside Natsume, there is a soft spot in his heart that he chose to hide. And she was glad that she was able to make Natsume opened up with her. Truly, Natsume is not the prince charming she once dreamed way back on her childhood days, but he is her knight-and-shinning-armor and the prince charming she will never ever replaced for anything. Her train of thoughts were cut off when someone hugged her from behind. She felt Natsume's cheek touches her temple. She smiled.

"Natsume, this place is so wonderful. Thanks for taking me here." Mikan said, closing her eyes in contentment.

"Are you happy?" Natsume said in a low voice. "Don't you feel regretful?" Mikan frowned at this question. There is no way in hell that she will regret eloping with him. Mikan turned around to face Natsume, cuddling his face with both of her hands.

"Natsume." Mikan started. "I won't regret coming here with you, not now, not tomorrow and not forever. I'll always stay by your side no matter what happens. And of course I'm happy. I can't even explain how happy I am." Mikan said softly. Mikan's word made Natsume smile. This is why Natsume loves her so much. In just few simple words from her can make all of his worries and doubt slipped away. Mikan is really the best girl for him. Natsume smiled and slowly descended his lips towards the brunette's. Sparks of love and happiness enveloped the two when their lips met. They kissed gently, putting all their love on that kiss. A few moments later, they broke the kiss. They offer each other a smile before Natsume spoke and took her hand.

"Come on, let's head back. I bet Kaede-san is already finished preparing the rooms. And I know you're tired. Let's go to sleep already afterall, it's already late." Natsume said, while Mikan nodded her head and they head back to the place they call HOME.

They arrived at Natsume's house after a few minutes of walking, talking and arguing. The couple is in the living room, waiting for their return. When they heard the door, they looked back and quickly stood up.

"Natsume-sama, the room is already prepared." Kaede said smiling.

"Thank you, Kaede-san. You two can rest now. It's already late. Sorry for the bother." Natsume said.

"It's okay Natsume-sama. We're going now. Have a goodnight sleep, Natsume-sama, Mikan-sama." Takou said and they left, leaving Natsume and Mikan alone again.

Natsume lead Mikan upstairs and show her the room that she will be used. It's nothing compare to her room in Tokyo, but it's comfortable, nevertheless. It's painted violet. It has a queen-sized bed and a bathroom.

"The room is nice, Natsume. Where is your room, anyway?" Mikan asked as she looked at him.

"Why? Planning on raping me, Polkadots?" Natsume asked, playfully. "Don't worry, it's just on the left side of your room. Only beside yours."

"Gee, how conceited Natsume. I have no plans on molesting you, I bet you're the one who have plans in doing those dirty works." Mikan said, pouting. Natsume chuckled.

"Go, get some sleep now. It's late. Goodnight." Natsume said, kissing her forehead. "Sweetdreams, Polkadots."

"Enough with the Polkadots, you pervert! And Goodnight to you too." Mikan smiled. Natsume smiled back and walked out the room. Mikan rummaged through her clothes to find something comfy to wear. After that, she headed towards the bathroom. After a few minutes, she finished bathing and lay on her bed. She stared at the ceiling.

"I wonder how Hotaru and the others will react when they find out about me eloping with Natsume." Mikan said to herself. She turned to the side, laying in the slanting position.

"Oh well, I'll think about it some other time. At least I'm with Natsume now and I'm sleepy already so I guess I should sle-" before she can finished it, the brunette already fell into her deep slumber.

"Hacienda Montreal?" Reo asked to the man in front of him while reading some papers that was handed to him by the man. "And where is this Hacienda Montreal located?"

"According to the detective Reo-san, Hacienda Montreal is located in the end of Hokkaido Island. It's not that big, but he said that it is well-known in Hokkaido due to its fresh vegatables and fruits." The man named Shiki said.

"I see." Reo nodded. "And this is where that Hyuuga-guy brought Mikan?"

"Yes, Reo-san." Shiki agreed.

"Well then, prepare for tomorrow." Reo started. "We're going to get back by daughter, either willingly or forcefully." Reo ended, smiling evilly as Shiki excused himself. "
