*Chapter 2*

*Flashback*

"Your hair is weird", a childish twenty-year-old said taking a few strands of the hair of the crimson eyed devil. He took her hand away with a quick movement.

"I said to not touch", he frowned.

The young lady sighed in defeat. She hated how closed Natsume was. Did he hate the physical contact that much? She was about to give up until an idea popped in her head. "You say you can do it all but can you really?", she asked raising a brow.

Natsume quickly turned to look at her. Nozomi crossed her arms as a playful smile grew on her face. "Of course I can do it all", he said proudly.

Nozomi stood up from the ground dusting away her long dress. She arranged her long sleeves and then extended her hand to the vampire. He stood up without taking it though.

She frowned slightly but quickly smiled again. "Okay then, if you can do it all…you can give me a hug, right?"

Natsume's eyes widened. He wasn't expecting that. What to do? Was he going to accept that she was right? There's no way…he's known as a stubborn vampire for a reason.

"Such a thing? It's easy", he muttered taking her by the arm and taking her into his embrace. He wanted to end this quickly, he didn't like to be touched at all. However, things didn't go as planned. Once he hugged her, she immediately hugged him back tightly. He was comfortable, even if he didn't admit it later, he felt like never before.

*End of Flashback*

The emotionless teenager only stood in silence. Her eyes widened a little but then she regain her composure. She returned to his serious self as she softly pulled away from the new raven student, breaking the hug.

"My name is Mikan Yukihira. You must be mistaken me with somebody else", she said calmly.

Natsume turned to look at her eyes, which were the same color as Nozomi's but the teenager standing infront of him had such a cold glare. Natsume described it as lifeless eyes.

Natsume frown slightly, taking another step away from the class representative. He shook his head, trying to get rid of those memories. She wasn't going to hug him back. She's not Nozomi.

"I guess so", he muttered turning his gaze to the floor.

He mentally complained with himself, of course it is not her. She was a human after all, she must have died a long time ago. He laughed to himself silently, "Why am I still hoping?"

Maybe because, having hope was one of the things she taught him.

Mikan sighed when she finally stepped outside of the classroom. The whole class started asking questions. She rolled her eyes, she wasn't the one to blame. The new student was the one who mistook her by somebody else.

She shivered just by remembering the hug. She was known as the queen of the school, nobody could get more than 1 meter close to her. She was untouchable, and then this brat comes and takes all the work away. She could only hope nobody was going to rebel and try to hug her.

She shook her head regaining her senses. It wasn't time to think about those things. "Let's start with the tour through the academy then", she broke the ice between them and started walking.

Natsume could only follow, he wasn't even listening to be honest. He was clearly distracted by the uncomfortable feeling of wearing a tie. Truth to be told, he wanted to throw those ridiculous clothes, aka the uniform, and be naked for a while. For certain reasons he couldn't achieve that dream.

"Are you even listening?", Mikan asked snapping his fingers in front of his face.

"Eh, yeah, of course…", he sought an excuse. "I-I was..."

"Save it", Mikan raised her hand as a signal to stop. "Anyways, this is the yard. Don't go into it, there's a forest and you could get lost"

Natsume kept walking, he started loosening his tie a little until he took it away completely. The sun felt more and more intense as they walked through the grass. No ceiling to cover him this time.

"Put your tie back on", Mikan said serious.

Annoying humans, he thought.

"I won't. Can't you see it's damn hot today?", he asked with sarcasm.

Mikan frowned. "Don't you know who you are talking with? In this school you better follow the rules", she said utterly serious and angry.

She took the academic things way too seriously. However, she wasn't always like this. A few years she wasn't quite the role model student; all the contrary actually. However, that story will be told in a few chapters.

"I get it", he said putting his tie back on.

At this point, Natsume didn't care about her resemblance with Nozomi. Actually thanks to their resemblance he felt more and more awkward as the minutes passed. At least he thought he was feeling uncomfortable but to speak the truth, he was feeling very hurt. Right now, he just wanted to stay away from that control freak.

"How long will we be walking?", he asked urging for some shadow. He wasn't feeling well.

Mikan didn't bother to answer. She was planning to ignore him until the tour had finished but she heard a loud sound. Just as the collapse of a body in the grass.

She turned around quickly, finding the new student in the grass. Was he dead!? "Natsume Hyuuga!"

Well this was something he wasn't expecting at all. It was the first day of school and he was lying in an infirmary cot. His head was still aching. He woke up since he felt a pair of small hands undoing his shirt.

"What are you doing?", he asked, grabbing her wrist tightly.

Mikan could only gulped, immediately turning completely red, from head to toe. After this sight, Natsume smirked a little, "Who would have thought you'll be this type of girl", he teased.

"Stop making things up. Now that you're awake, take your shirt off by yourself. The nurse will be here in any minute so try to rest", she explained.

"You took me here?"

"With the help of the basketball team"

Natsume took a glance to the girl next to him. He knew she was beautiful since she has a resemblance to her, but seeing her from this angle. She was breathtaking.

"I'm okay now", Natsume said trying to stand up.

"I said to rest", Mikan stopped him.

She's stronger than it looks, he thought.

"Bothersome", he said returning to his previous position.

There was a silence between them, it wasn't awkward but really calm. She turned to look at him, who seemed to be sleeping. Mikan tilted her head a bit, scanning the face she had in front of her.

She realized he had quite small brows, she almost laughed at the thought of it. His messy hair fitted perfectly to his look of heartbreaker. She could distinguish a few strands of his hair that were a dark crimson color, while the others were plain black. She also noticed he had tiny nose and lips. He looked like some kind of superstar.

Without any warning, Natsume opened his eyes abruptly. Mikan gasped slightly but didn't take her eyes away from him. How couldn't she notice before? Crimson. His eyes were crimson. Such a rare color, like if he was some kind of vampire.

Of course, she thought of this as a joke.

"You know", she started speaking, lowering her gaze. "I'm sorry"

Natsume's eyes widened. Has the ice-hearted class representative said sorry? "Why?"

Mikan sighed. "My job is to help people. I ended up hurting you. You even told me you weren't feeling well. I forgot you came from a colder place. England, right?"

Natsume nodded. That wasn't true but Ruka had to make a nationality for him to enroll in the academy. Natsume's eyes found Mikan's again but this time her eyes seemed warmer than a few moments ago. Before anybody could say anything else; the school bell rang, making everybody understand one thing, 'school was over'.

"Let me take you home"

"It's 3pm already, dammit!", Ioran muttered to himself. He didn't realize there was someone behind the door of his office.

"Don't worry, Ioran-san. We both know Natsume, he'll come back", Ruka assured stepping inside of the office.

Ioran wasn't surprised by the blond one, he was always in the right moment. He sighed softly, "I know but I told him to be punctual", he pouted with his arms crossed.

Ruka laughed internally, sometimes he couldn't distinguish the father from the son.

"Here", Ruka said taking Ioran's attention. He had just dropped a newspaper on his desk. "A human newspaper?" , he asked with a dumbfound expression.

"It is not a simple newspaper. It's like a window to the human world. Unfortunately, we can't see Natsume through it but we can read about the daily whereabouts of the human world" , Ruka explained.

Ioran raised a brow still unable to understand Ruka's point. "In other words, if Natsume makes something stupid such as revealing his identity, the humans would make a fuss out of it and eventually publish such scandal"

"So that means nothing bad has happened yet!", Ioran snapped his fingers finally understanding. "This is great Ruka! Where did you get this?", he asked curious.

"I have my contacts", he winked with a smirk.

"I can go on my own", He said coldly. As we know, Natsume didn't have a home in the human world. He needed to return to the underworld quickly, if not his father was going to kill him!

"I insist", Mikan muttered, not changing her expression at all.

Natsume only wanted to run away.

"So bothersome", he whispered.

Mikan only stood up, taking Natsume's bag. "Okay then, you can go on your own"

Natsume quickly stood from the bed, "Oi!", he called. He has his key in his backpack. The key to open the gate to the underworld.

Mikan kept walking, ignoring Natsume. He could only curse. He still felt weak and couldn't catch up to her. "Stupid woman"

She stopped. "What did you say?", she turned to face him.

Natsume's face paled. Did she really heard him from such distance? "N-Nothing"

What the hell? He was a freaking vampire. Why was he fearing a simple girl? Was he crazy already?

She rolled her eyes. "Where is your house?"

Natsume finally took his backpack back. "It's this one", he lied while pointing a small yellow house.

"This house?", she asked raising a brow.

"Yes. You better leave now before it gets too late", he said hoping she would just leave him alone.

"I can't leave", she muttered.

"Why?", Natsume asked desperate. Just leave me alone!, he thought.

"Because this yellow house, it's my house."

(Author's Note)

Natsume got caught! Natsume got caught! Poor Natsume, he thought he had the perfect lie but he failed terribly! Well, let's hope things will go smoothly for this stubborn vampire.

'Till the next chapter!
