Mikan was excited to see her friends in Tokoryoku-kei again. After being absent for taking care of Ruka and being dragged my Natsume and Youichi, she wasn't able to attend her class for two days.
It was a lovely Saturday morning, and Saturday meant a whole day of Alice-Based Class.
After meeting with her friends that morning, (and getting lost as she followed Hotaru) she went to her class hurriedly, ignoring the admiring (and lustful) stares of the guys she passed by.
Of course, because our dear Mikan is so dense (I can't even believe someone could be this dense, or maybe she really is just an idiot.) she didn't purposely ignore them, she just doesn't notice.
She pushed the door open and greeted with a loud voice. "OHAYOU, MINNA-SAN!!!"
The bustling people paused, and looked at the door, where the chocolate eyed girl stood, beaming. Everyone returned her greeting with a smile, and resumed their earlier activity.
"You! Put that up there! And you! Set that right! If that falls down, I'll be the one to hang you up there! Get it?!" Misaki hollered as she gave orders.
Everyone was scurrying.
"Ne, Misaki-sempai," Mikan asked as she approached her burgundy haired senior. "What's the commotion about? Is there a party?"
"Yes there is!" Misaki replied, smiling. "It's a welcome party for a new student! Everyone's excited about it! It's been long since we had a new student after you came."
"Really? Cool!" she skipped, her eyes gleaming.
"And besides," Misaki's face went near hers. "I heard he's a real heartthrob, and he's really cool! One of us might get lucky and get him to be a partner for the upcoming Winter Festival." She winked at the younger girl.
Mikan sweat-dropped. Geez, all the girls really go loco for handsome guys, what is it with them and dances anyway? "Is there something I can help you with?" She looked around, craning her head. "Where's Tsubasa-sempai anyway?"
"Oh that bastard." Misaki rolled her eyes. "He's late again, as always. Even after every reminder I gave him about not being late today." She placed her hands on her hips, a sign of annoyance on etched on her face.
Mikan couldn't help but smile. Her two sempais really look good together. "Ne, Misaki-sempai, you really have taken great liking to Tsubasa-sempai, am I right?"
Misaki turned to face her, with eyes full of question. "Pardon?"
"You two look like you're meant for each other!" With hearts in her eyes and a field of flowers in the background, Mikan went dreamy.
Geez, how dense can this girl get? "Mikan,"
"Hm?" expectant eyes met her serious gaze.
"You see, Tsubasa and I, we-" She was cut short when the doors flung open, and a panting junior came shouting, "He's coming! He's here! The new student is here!"
"Places everyone!" Misaki instructed, quickly dismissing every other thought in mind. Everyone took their places as they tensed for the coming visitor.
Footsteps can be heard from outside, followed by a light knock on the door. It was as if the person outside was waiting for permission to proceed inside.
"Come in!" a cheerful voice from non other than our favorite brunette.
The door knob turned slowly, as the door creaked open.
Everyone gaped.
"E-EH??? NODA-SENSEI?" They chorused, eyes filled with surprise and jaws dropped to the floor.
Who wouldn't be? Their teacher was peeking through the door, his eyes dazed. He was a mess, with his hair ruffled and his face greased with dirt. He seemed to be sorting things in his head.
"Sensei! Are you alright?" Mikan's concerned voice broke through their gapes and she helped her teacher inside.
Noda-sensei limped his way in, with the help of Mikan and some other students and sat himself in a nearby chair.
"Sensei! What happened?" Misaki was the one who spoke.
"I, uh…" Noda-sensei scratched his head, as if trying to remember something.
"Where's the new student, sensei?" one random student asked.
Noda's eyes widened as he remembered. "Oh yes! The new student! He… uh… he…"
The students neared their faces as curiosity got the better of them.
"He whacked me on the head, and there's nothing else I could remember."
"NANI!?!" screeches were heard throughout the room.
"Why would he do that!?!" steam was starting to come out of Misaki's ears.
How dare him! He's just a new student and this? That drat! I'm gonna-
But Mikan beat her to it.
"I'M GONNA TEACH HIM A LESSON!" Mikan screeched. Shaking her fists, she stormed her way out the door and was bent on finding this new student.
"It's bad enough that he ditched his welcome party, but he had no right to hurt Noda-sensei!"
"Mikan!"
"He's sooo gonna pay!"
"Mikan, wait!"
"I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget!"
"MIKAN!!!"
Of course, our heroine was too busy to even hear her name being called, let alone contemplate on her actions.
She was gone on the curb before Misaki's voice reached her ears.
"She doesn't even know what the drat looks like, HOW, in the FREAKIN' WORLD, will she find the kid? That BAKA!!!"
Just proves how our friend here can be really stupid at times, or maybe, most of it.
v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v
Of course, she had gone a considerable distance from the building and made her way in the woods, when she realized her mistake. Her eyes widened in surprise.
I don't even know what he looks like!!!
She was hitting her head with both hands. "How can I be so stupid?!" (We agree on that, don't we?).
She seemed to find console when the wind blew, and was about to make her way back. It was then that she spotted something.
She noticed a body laid (or rather, sprawled) on the grass just a few meters from her.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she sauntered cautiously, and eyed the person.
Silver white hair gleamed as streaks of light that passed through the tree's shade. Pale slender arms rested on either side of him. His uniform was a mess, with three buttons opened. His white inner shirt was exposed, pressed to (from her judgment) a lean and well built chest. It was heaving up and down slowly, as the person was taking breath ever so slowly.
Obviously the person was asleep.
Mikan knew better than to disturb a sleeping person, Natsume taught her that (for the countless times she showed up and bugged him whenever he was asleep.) But one thing caught her attention. His hair.
His silver white hair was a striking contrast to that of Natsume's raven one. She was so mesmerized by it. She didn't know why, but she liked the glitter every time the sun's rays were reflected from it. It was like a patch of snow that glistens under the spring sun. It was the first time she saw one.
She just had to touch those pretty, glowing-
"You'll hurt yourself if you continue doing that." The person suddenly spoke, his eyes still closed.
Thinking he was asleep and not expecting him to speak so suddenly, he scared the living daylight out of the poor girl.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" Mikan shrieked, jumping backwards in surprise. She tripped over. (Such a klutz.)
"Hey miss! The boy was quicker than she thought. In a blink of an eye, he was able to get near her and break her fall.
Imagine their position.
His body was bent forward one leg in front of the other for balance. An arm encircled Mikan's petite waist, as the girl was bent backwards. Their faces considerably apart. (If you can't still understand, imagine a ballroom dance pose where the girl is bent, except that the leg isn't raised. If you can't still imagine, just PM me and I'll try explaining it to you, ok?)
Mikan blinked several times, before the boy closed in on the distance between them. "Don't you know it's bad to disturb people in their sleep?" His deep set cerulean eyes stared into her ginger-colored orbs.
She could practically feel him breathing on her face. "Ah, ano… g-gomen" was all she could utter.
His facial expression softened, "But I wouldn't mind if such a pretty lady such as you would be the one to wake me up." he whispered teasingly in her ear.
This made Mikan's face flush a thousand shades of red. He chuckled at her reaction, eyes full with amusement.
He straightened them both up and released his grip on her waist.
The flustered girl just stood there, her head bowed low because of shame.
He sat on grass and stared at her.
Silence…
Mikan was the first who tried to break the uncomfortable silence. "Um, ano- you are new here right?" Her voice was unsure. (Geez, can't she figure out that this was the same new boy who ditched the welcome party?)
"Yes." He replied, still amused.
Silence again…
"May I ask…" Mikan flinched a bit as he spoke. "Why were you touching my hair?"
She blushed harder at his frank question. "Ah… That, ano- um…."
"C'mon, just tell me. I won't be mad." A small smile broke from his face.
Mikan sighed inwardly. If the situation wasn't embarrassing enough, she still had to answer him in a more embarrassing way. "I…I…"
The boy got a little more curious.
She turned her head a bit, away from him. "I don't know myself." She blushed more. (How much more can she blush anyway?)
The boy was taken aback. But he broke to a stifled laugh.
She gripped her skirt tighter, her face hidden away by her auburn locks. "Please don't laugh, it's embarrassing, you know."
"Ahahaha…. I-I'm sorry… I can't help it…" He said in between his laughter. "You are one atypical girl, miss."
She puffed her cheeks and turned to face him. "Am not!"
The boy stood and smirked. "That's alright. No need to be flustered or angry." His grin turned to a real smile. "You may touch it more if you like."
Now it was Mikan's turn to be surprised. "Are you playing games with me? For a moment ago I thought you were angry at me disturbing your sleep."
"No. I am not playing games with you," He said, chuckling a bit. "And yes, I was irritated for being wakened from my nap, because I didn't know that it was a pretty girl yet. And a funny one at that."
"It was embarrassing enough you know." She pouted. Then her eyes turned back to her unsure and embarrassed expression. "May I?" She asked, uncertainty filling her voice.
This girl sure is amusing. Yuki thought to himself. "Sure!" He answered rather cheerfully.
The girl eased towards him and reluctantly held her hand in the air. When her hand gently landed on his hair, he leaned towards her touch.
She muffled a giggle. "It's so soft!" She said, smiling.
"What is it with you and my hair anyway?" He inquired.
"I don't know myself. I just like it." She replied, her fingers running through his silver-white strands.
This girl sure is weird!

A/N:
There! One whole Yuki and Mikan Chapter! Cool eh?
BTW, if you can't imagine how Yuki looks like, his hair color is the same as Hatsuharu Sohma of fruits basket (thanks to gathrun for the idea), while the hair style is like Tamaki Suoh of Ouran Highschool Host Club.
spoilers
For you to be able to understand Yuki's character more, he's a mixture of Tamaki and Hatsuharu. He's arrogant and proud (Hatsuharu style), although he can be a gentleman at times. He's cool, calm and collected too. He loves to fool around with girls (he's not a playboy, maybe a bit of a flirt) and is quite a ladies' man (Tamaki style).
Yuki however, has a problem. He has a split personality problem, very much like Hatsuharu. His alter-ego is a short tempered sadistic guy. He doesn't care if he hurts anyone, and most of the time enjoys seeing them suffer. (Scaaarrrryyy….)
Yuki is very much aware of his split personality problem. That's why when his alter-ego comes out, he goes into hiding and avoids everyone. In the later chapters, we will meet his alter-ego…
Hence, the name Yuki Kaiju. Translating, it literally means Snow beast. I got the idea from Kaiju no Yuki, meaning monster of the snow. Yuki literally is snow, Kaiju is literally weird beast, but in English it is monster. (Japanese Lectures… Jeez)
Well, more Yuki and Mikan scenes in the upcoming chappies, of course, I haven't forgotten about Tsubasa…
