CHAPTER TWO

THE START OF IT ALL

Mikan took out a first aid kit from the basement and hurried towards the living room. There was an angered and hurt raven-haired boy sitting on the couch, caressing his nose and his knees. He had scratches on his cheeks but they weren't serious.

Mikan brought out alcohol wipes and gently cleaned Natsume's face.

"I ca-can't believe it! The famous Natsume Hyuuga is here in our living room! And I'm nursing him!" said Mikan excitedly as she continued on treating the boy's wounds.

The boy, whose name was Natsume Hyuuga, was a very well-known singer. He was crowned as the most popular teen singer in Japan. He had also these great acting skills and a smooth and wonderful voice. Everyone wanted a piece of him. And now, the ordinary girl, Mikan Sakura, was taking care of him.

"This is your entire fault, you idiot! How am I supposed to go home when all these media men are hiding in the bushes outside your house?" said Natsume, pointing outside the window.

Mikan peeked outside and saw people with cameras, camouflaged in the bushes. Mikan sweat dropped. Generally, it was really her entire fault.

MOMENTS EARLIER

MIKAN'S POV

"No!!!! Watch out!!!!" I screamed.

The boy did not turn around; he just continued to walk away.

I tried to warn him again and as expected, the boy went away still being ignorant of my warning.

I just closed my eyes and hoped that he wouldn't get hurt.

Then…

"Aahhh!!!" yelled the raven-haired boy.

He fell down on the ground along with a dozen of circus performers. He apparently walked towards the performers who were balancing themselves on top of a narrow bridge. So as a result, all of them fell down since the boy wasn't looking in front of him. A lot of people formed a circle around the scene. To my surprise, some shrieked and girls started to shout, "It's him!!! It's him!!!"

When I got closer to check the boy's condition, I clasped my hand over my mouth…

The boy's cap wasn't on his head anymore; I guess it got carried away by the wind. Earlier, I didn't get to see the boy's face clearly because the cap was covering his face with it's shadow but now I got to saw him vividly.

He was the famous vocalist of a well-known rock band here in Japan.

He was Natsume Hyuuga.

"Hey! It wasn't my fault that you were too ignorant to not listen to any of my warnings!" snapped Mikan.

Natsume stood from the sofa and smirked. "Because I thought it was one of your ridiculous predictions! You're such a confusing idiot!"

After that, silence followed. Natsume sat down on the sofa as Mikan checked if the cameramen were still hiding behind the bushes.

She sighed. They were still there. Creatures waiting for their prey.

Earlier ago, when Mikan saw Natsume flat on the ground, she had to help him out or else the media would be having a celebration in the newspapers.

So she immediately took Natsume's hand and brought him to her house. It was a good thing her Grandpa was out in the market to buy some food for dinner.

'Oh no… They probably thought I was his girlfriend!' thought Mikan sadly.

Mikan sat down beside the down looking Natsume. He was caressing his hand which looked really bad from all the scratches it got earlier in the carnival.

Deafening silence surrounded the atmosphere around the Sakura living room. But the peacefulness was then destroyed when the front door opened… Or should I say got torn away from its hinges?

Mikan and Natsume stood up hastily as they watched the intruders went inside the house. They were dozens and dozens of newspaper columnists and photographers! They spotted the two and ran towards them.

"Wahhh!! Get out! Get out!" yelled Mikan. But it was of no use. The journalists stood before them and barraged them with confusing questions!

"This is your fault idiot!!!" shouted Natsume, frustrated.

Mikan looked for a way out from the media. And then there she was…

Behind the crazed journalists, Hotaru Imai was on board on her flying swan scooter.

"Hop on!" said Hotaru.

Mikan grabbed Natsume's hand and dragged him on board her best friend's invention. As they flew throughout the door, Mikan's stomach did a somersault. This was it… One of life's surprising predictions… The start of it all.

oooooooooo
