A/N:

Hello everyone! I actually got the time to write a chapter! It's been a long time since I updated… I'm really sorry and I hope you didn't get tired of waiting for so long… School has been really hard (I'm a Nursing student and heck, it is dreadful, I tell ya)

Well, later with the rest of the author notes and on with the long awaited story!

"Well?"

"No."

"C'mon. I already said sorry Mikan. Isn't that enough?"

"No. You ditched the party that everyone worked so hard to prepare for. And you even hurt Noda-sensei. You shouldn't be forgiven easily." Mikan pouted.

"Hey come on. What are you so angry about anyway? Everyone already forgave me, and we are in the party right now, aren't we?" Yuki tried to reason out with her.

"That's because you used your prince-like charm with them! And they easily fell for that!" She turned to the older girls going around the room, eyes all on Yuki. "I mean look at them! With all those hearts in their eyes I can't seem to believe they can still see where they're going!"

"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!

"So, what could be the name of this pretty lady who loves to touch guys' hair?" He teased.

"Please don't call me that. My name is Mikan. And I don't usually touch other people's hair. There's just something with yours that makes me drawn to it." She puffed her cheeks.

"Wow. Then I guess luck is with me, being born with hair that draws such beautiful girls." Yuki held her hand and caressed it.

"Quite the charmer, but please, they don't work on me." She quickly withdrew her hand from his grasp.

"By the way, what brought you out here? Don't tell me you're going to meet someone out here?"

She stood up as if on realization "Oh yeah! I remember! I was looking for that guy who ditched our party! I'm sorry I have to go." She bowed and was about to go.

"Wait!" He pulled her back "Let me help you."

"That would be great!" She beamed.

"So who's this guy?"

"Oh yeah, ahehe… that's one of my problems. I still don't know."

"You're looking for someone you don't know? Wow. Then good luck on finding him." He stifled a laugh.

"That's why I need to go back. By the way, why don't you come with me? I'll let you meet my friends!"

"Okay."

They walked back to Tokoryukei while chatting a bit, and when they opened the door,

"Mikan! Thank you for finding him!" Noda-sensei exclaimed.

"Huh?" Mikan didn't quite get what Noda-sensei was saying, and stood there with a questioning face.

"Well everyone... let me introduce to you. This is Yuki Kaijou. He will be joining us here in Tokoryukei. Please welcome him."

"Dozo Yoroshiku. Minna, gambatte onegaishimasu." Yuki bowed.

Silence….

"WHAT!!!"

"You mean he's the guy that ditched the party!!!" Misaki grew anger marks (insert vein popping sounds here) around her head as she pointed at Yuki.

Everyone else looked pissed off.

"Well, a beautiful lady like you shouldn't be looking at me angrily."

Without realizing it, Yuki had closed the distance between him and Misaki, and a lacy finger caressing her cheek.

"Wha-wha-what-" Misaki stuttered.

"I'm very sorry for running off like that everyone." He announced in a loud voice. "I do believe that I deserved to be punished. "But had I known that beautiful ladies were here…" he knelt and kissed Misaki's hand. "I'd be more than willing to stay 'til forever."

And with that, he melted every girl's heart.

"Well it's not my fault if I have such a charm." Yuki smirked.

"Jeez I can't believe you. You are just as conceited as that pig Natsume." Mikan said exasperatedly.

Yuki's ears perked. "Who's that Natsume guy anyway?"

"No one in particular. Just another arrogant and snotty guy." She stood up.

"Hey where are you going?" He snatched her hand and pulled her back, causing her to fall on his lap.

"What do you think you're doing?" She asked in a bored manner.

"Seducing you." He grinned.

"That's quite blunt. But I already did say that your charm doesn't work in me, right? So I guess that's enough."

"I can't believe you. Nobody has ever been able to douse my charms." His face neared hers. "Maybe a little more persuasion will help?"

She practically jumped off from his lap and to avoid any further seduction (or issue that the other people might create). "I said enough of this! Are you saying sorry or are you making me angrier?" She made her voice a little bit higher than intended.

"Ahehe… you look cute when annoyed, as well as embarrassed." Mikan froze. "Remember a while ago? When we were both outside? You had that embarrassed and shy face on, and you really looked cute!" He put on an innocent smile.

"You are one unbelievable guy, Yuki." She was really angry now.

"Of course I am." That annoying smile never faded from his lips.

"Argh." She made her way through the people and out the door.

"Mikan-chan? Why are you here?" Noda-sensei was outside as well.

"Ah. Gomen sensei. I just needed some air to cool my head." She forced out a smile.

"What happened?" He inquired.

She heaved out a breath, and opened her auburn eyes. "That guy is just annoying me."

"Yuki?"

"Hai. Sensei I just don't understand him. A while ago he was so nice, and then now he's turned like that. And if that's not bad enough, instead of saying sorry, he's annoying the hell outta me! He wouldn't even tell me why he did those things!"

"Well he was saying sorry the whole time, but you wouldn't forgive him." Noda-sensei explained.

"That's because he did something bad to sensei! He shouldn't have hurt sensei and ditched the party! He should have been more considerate of others!"

Noda ruffled Mikan's hair affectionately. "Thank you for thinking about me and the others, Mikan. But please, just do understand him and forgive him. Maybe he has his reasons, just understand." He then straightened himself. "Mikan-chan is one of the most understanding and nice persons that I know."

Mikan contemplated for a bit. "Maybe I was a little hard on him. I'm sorry."

"It just shows that you care for others and for him as well. You wouldn't be angry if you don't care, right?"

"Hai. Arigato Noda-sensei." She smiled.

"By the way Mikan, there is something I need to tell you guys. But…" Noda-sensei was interrupted with another voice.

"Mikan!" Yuki's head peeked out of the doors.

"Well, it seems he's here. I'll leave you guys for the moment." Noda patted her shoulder and went back inside.

Yuki came nearer. "Hey…" He was a bit uneasy.

"Hey." She smiled at him.

"Ano, are you still angry?" He scratched his head.

"Haha… No more. I'm sorry I was quite hard. But you do make me laugh. You change quickly, from the kind prince to the cheeky charmer." She stifled a laugh.

"Oh yeah?" He appeared more relaxed now. "You're one to talk. From the shy girl to the scary witch."

"Am not!" She puffed her cheeks.

"Haha. Just kidding. I do like to tease you a lot."

"Yes I'm quite aware of that now."

They both laughed.

"Let's go back inside, shall we? The party IS for you, you know." Mikan said.

"Well, Ladies first." He motioned his hand and bowed for a bit.

"Please, enough of the charming, I did say it doesn't work on me."

"Hai hai…" He threw up his hands in defeat.

Both were about to go in when someone called out.

"Yo, Mikan!"

"Tsubasa-sempai!" Mikan exclaimed. She hurriedly went over to her sempai who was running from the direction of the Northern woods. "You're late again!"

"Ahehe… Gomen- gomen… I slept in. I kinda forgot about the time." He scratched his head in apology.

"Well that's no big deal for me, but Misaki-sempai might mind." She stressed the word 'might'.

"Yeah. That girl sure is a monster."

"Sempai!" Mikan warned, but was too late. Out came a flying pail that landed right onto Tsubasa's face.

SMACK!

"Who the heck are you calling a monster, YOU DAMN IDIOTIC LAZY FREAK!"Misaki hollered from the door. "How many times do I have to tell you to never be late?! Of all the times you choose to sleep in, it always has to be at important times like these!"

"Ittai…." Tears welled out of Tsubasa's eyes like waterfalls. "I can't help it. Sorry…" He said as he caressed the growing lump in his head.

"Get your lazy ass in there and join the others. As punishment, you will clean up after the party ALL BY YOURSELF!"

"Hai, hai…" He practically dragged himself inside, with Mikan and the rest following behind. He then slumped onto one of the couches.

"Ahh… She's just horrible."

"Stop saying that sempai. She might hear you." Mikan reminded him as she handed an ice bag. (Wow. I didn't know she could think that quickly. I guess a few years of growing up made her brain mature, ne?)

"Thanks. But can you apply it on my head? Kinda feels better if you're the one doing it." Tsubasa requested.

"Uh… hai."

"Thanks." He gave her a small smile. (He's actually making his moves… hmm…)

Mikan sat beside Tsubasa and lightly placed the ice bag on the swollen part. She slowly and cautiously moved it about his head, carefully icing the injury. Tsubasa just leaned on the couch and closed his eyes.

Yuki just observed from one of the tables, and an idea struck him.

"Ne, Mikan-chan, care for some drinks?" He asked as he approached.

A vein popped from Tsubasa's head. Without caring to open his eyes, he said "Can't you see she's with me and is doing something?"

"Huh? Well I thought I'd hand her a drink. That's not a big deal now, is it?" He teased. "Besides, it's just a drink. There's no harm to it."

"You are interrupting, you know." Sarcasm was evident in Tsubasa's voice.

"Doesn't seem like it. Besides, three isn't a crowd." Yuki smirked.

Tsubasa stood up in annoyance. "What's with you, tweak?"

"S-sempai!" Mikan tried to stop the growing tension. "Please stop. He was just offering me a drink."

"Yeah, sempai…" Yuki simpered at the word. "By the way, it's nice to meet you. I'm Yuki Kaiju." He tried to annoy Tsubasa more.

"Like the hell I care who you are." Tsubasa spat.

"Sempai! Please!" Mikan held out. "That's quite a rude way to treat a newcomer!"

Tsubasa tried to lower his temper a bit. "Sorry." He said to Mikan. He backed down but threw a rather annoyed look at the white haired guy.

Yuki put on an innocent smile.
