Hey everybody!

Been a while eh?

I know you missed me! You missed me!

LOL, thanks for the reviews and alerts, keep viewing sorry by the way, LOL!

ON WITH THE STORY!

Friday September 12

or

Saturday September 13?

Time: Late Night, or Early morning?

Location: Unknown!

I woke up to pitch black, and I felt fear wash over me. Where was I? Where on Earth was I? I tried to remember what had happened before I fell asleep but I couldn't recall anything.

I groaned loudly and put my hand to my head, which felt like it was burning, and rolled over in someones bed, all I knew was that it was NOT my bed.

"OUCH!"

The sudden scream of pain scared me as I realized someone was in the bed with me, a blood curdling scream filled the room, of course it was coming from me.

I jumped out of the bed picked up the closest thing to me, which happened to be a really big pillow, and started hounding whoever it was that was beside me.

"What are you doing!" I screamed. "Get away from me! Who are you!?" I saw the silhouette of a man sit up and I think my heart stopped beating. Was it a rapist? A robber? A kidnapper!? He reached over to what looked like a lamp and suddenly the room flooded with light. I caught a glimpse of the analog clock which read 3:00am, before taking in who the stranger was.

I froze,

Everything went still,

I swear one of those dustball things were about to pass by at any minute.

My blood went cold.

It wasn't a stranger at all! I saw his irritated red eyes stare at me through his messy black treads.

"What are you screaming about?" He snapped, clearly aware of the early morning hour. "It's too early to be up."

"Why, why, why?" I didn't spit out the answer I just kept repeating my why over again until Natsume threw a pillow at me.

"Oof!" I fell to the ground. Yeah I know. You know your strong when a pillow knocks you over right?

"I don't have the patients for your stupid blabbering Polka Dots."

"WHY THE HELL AM I IN YOUR ROOM!?" I finally screamed.

"You fell asleep on me outside, and you didn't have your key."

Suddenly it all came flooding back to me, the party, the kiss, and me telling him about my life. He had told me everything about himself and I had only told him a mere fraction of what I could. I couldn't believe that he was so soft, so open. So comforting, I remembered him stroking my hair then everything had went black.

"Oh." Was all I could say. Suddenly the aura of the room became very awkward.

I just looked around casually, the room was so large, well of course it was, he was a special star after all. I was only used to my small one star room. Yeah, I was here a week or so and I was only ranked a one star while Hotaru is already a three star. Big surprise there! "You have a really nice room." I commented, trying to bring up some small talk.

"Yeah, the beds better to, it doesn't fold up on me like yours." I saw a smirk start to grow on his tired looking face and I remembered when he left me folded up in my small cot, the morning after we first met. A small blush krept onto my face as I pushed the memory away. Far away.

"It was only temporary! I told you that."

"So you just decided to fold yourself up while you had to chance?" The smirk was growing a little bigger.

"I had a bad night, and didn't get much sleep I wasn't thinking!"

"Bad night?" His smirk faded as he pondered for a moment, he was trying to remember exactly what had happened that night. Suddenly his smirk grew back, this time so big it was almost a full on cocky grin. I didn't like the look of it one bit.

"Yeah sorry 'bout that, Strawberry Panties."

"Wha- WHAT!?" My scream was so loud I'm pretty sure the sleeping birds flew out of the forest and there might have been a slight chance Hotaru woke up. Sure I remembered putting on Strawberry underwear that night, but how did he know!?

"YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME WHILE I WAS ASLEEP!" I pointed an accusing finger at him while I backed away. Then to my absolute horror, I realized that I had a skirt on.

"No, you just don't like to sleep with covers over you, and you also like spreading your legs everywhere." His smirk still planted perfectly on his amazing face.

I slapped my hand to my forehead. I remembered a couple of times I slept with my mother when I was little because of nightmares, she would always tease me about how I was a messy sleeper and how my nightgowns always got wedged up to my waist. Great...

A mad blush forced it's way over my face at the thought of Natsume seeing me sleep like that. "Ah...I...." I wanted to get out of there and go back to my dorm so badly. I took a step back, only to stumble into his desk chair, flying backwards, not to mention doing an ungraceful flip over the chair.

BAM!

"Okay... OW!" I said, sprawled out across the floor.

"Well that was graceful." Natsume commented sarcastically.

"Oooooooooh..." I whined loudly, purposely trying to annoy Natsume.

"Shut up little girl." He said as he lay back down in his bed, obviously fake sleeping.

"Hmph." Was all I could say, as I crossed my arms. Still on the floor.

"Hey." He started in a low voice, "Come here."

I stood up instantly and walked over to where he was laying.

"Come closer."

I sat on my knees on the floor and hovered my face right close to his. My breathe nearly out of my chest. I was so close to him. "Yes." I whispered lightly, trying to keep cool.

"Closer..."

I leaned in closer to his face, our noses were touching now, I could feel his breath on my face, burning it up like I had a fever. I wanted so bad to just get up and run out of the room.

"Closer." His demand was firm now.

I froze, if I leaned in anymore our lips would be touching, is that what he wanted? I was about to lean in more when he grabbed one of my pigtails, scaring the crap out of me, and set it on fire! I quickly nullified it as he said, "Go to sleep. Ugly."

I tore away from him and got back in bed, hurt at his remark I fell into a light sleep, not that I wanted to sleep, but I had to.

Saturday September 13 6:00am

Location: Natsumes Dorm

I woke up once again, but this time to a dull light filling the room, it was only a little before sunrise, around 6:00am I guessed, and a quick glance at the clock told me I guessed right. I didn't want to sleep mere hours ago, but now I was limp from exhaustion and very cozy. I closed my eyes, almost asleep, ready to forget about what happened last night, good events and bad, because I was still kind of irritated at Natsume. Wait. Natsume? Where was he?

I looked across from me but there was no slumbering body there. I suddenly heard a thump come from the other side of the room. I looked up to see Natsume exiting the bathroom, shirtless.

A large heat flooded over my face and I felt my heartbeat speed up, I could not believe this was happening to me. Why him? Out of all the people I had to be attracted to him.

"Natsume?" I asked, my voice almost inaudible.

He looked up quickly, startled, I guess he wasn't expecting me to be awake yet. "Hn."

"Sorry." I said as I looked at the ceiling, trying to convince myself that it was more interesting than him. I coughed awkwardly, trying to signal him to say something, anything.

He finally broke the silence after several seconds. "Nice hair." He said smugly.

I touched my hair, it was defiantly a huge rat nest. Ugh, great, could I look any worse in front of this guy. I guess he could sense I was feeling self conscious because he startled me when he sat next to me, to close.

Once again he stroked my hair, this time with a silly smirk on his face instead of sorrow in his eyes. And a huge wave of comfort filled my body.

That's when it hit me.

I could tell him things, he would listen, he would understand, because he's been through something similar. He saw my underwear and wasn't disgusted, he joked about it, that must mean he doesn't mind right? That means that he likes it, maybe. He saw me sleeping, horrifically, hair a mess, make up off, and yet there he was, stroking my hair, making sure I was all right in his own twisted way.

I'm not saying I'm head over heels or anything, I'm saying I made a new friend, a different kind of friend. I liked it in a way, and then again I hated it.

And then another thing hit me.

There was a really hot guy standing in front of my shirtless, after I made out with him, and spent the night in his room. More importantly this "guy" was... THE PRINCE!

I had totally forgotten what he was! I was so shocked I almost fell right off the bed.

Almost. Hah.

Natsume stopped amusing himself with my hair and looked at me oddly.

Saturday September 13 6:00pm

Location: Hotarus Dorm

"Wow." Was all that Hotaru said after I told her everything that happened after she last saw me the night before. "He must really like you then."

"What!?" I was appalled by what she was saying.

"Are you that stupid, if anyone even dared talking to him like that he'd have then burned in a heartbeat."

I pondered for a moment, "You're always blackmailing that Ruka, and you're always cold to people, does that mean you like him?" I personally don't think her reaction was nessicary, I mean I did have a point, but the last thing I saw before her new invention, The Baka Gun, hit me, was a faint tint of pink on her pale cheeks.

BAKA BAKA BAKA

"Ow! Hotaru!" I whined, as I saw her cover her ears.

"Just don't get hurt Mikan." Her eyes were filled with sincerity and worry. "I don't trust anyone, they all have a power over you."

"I know." I sighed, recalling all the orders Natsame gave me last night, without even realizing it. Someone could order me to cut off my head and I'd do it, it was scary.

"I'm going to get rid of it Hotaru. I know you say everything I try to do is impossible, but I'm going to try, I'm going to try to find my fairy and break the curse." I shot my fist in the air getting pumped up by my own speech.

"I know," She said as she looked me in the eye, "And I'm going to help."

I smiled at her as we walked out the door to attend dinner.

Monday September 15 8:15am

Location: My Dorm

I don't know why but Natsume offered to walk me to class today. So here I am, dressed in my uniform, hair up in a ponytail, waiting for him to pick me up.

I heard a knock at the door, I knew who it was and checked my mirror one more time to give myself the okay, with that I opened the door to reveal an impatient looking Natsume.

"Took you long enough." He grunted, as to my surprise he linked arms with me, leading me out the door.

We walked outside down the trail to the building our homeroom was in, the September air was still warm, and it seemed like the perfect day out. I smiled to myself and sighed.

Authors P.O.V (Only Temporarily)

A person far off in the bushes whom Mikan was yet to meet stood, watching the couples every move. It surprised him to see Natsume with this kind of girl, and he knew there was something different about her, maybe he could use it to his advantage.

"Interesting," He thought to himself.

"Very Interesting." Hyogo Aito pondered out loud.

HAHA! LONGEST CHAPTER YET! I am so very proud. Lol. i hope you like it, Please review i spent A LONG time on this one HAHAHA! Love you.
