SAKURA - WEDNESDAY MORNING

Mikan Sakura walked out of the changing room in the back a little boutique that had just a little too much pink for her tastes. Furthermore the clothes seemed to covered in glitter ... Just no. So your wondering why Mikan was even in this shop to begin with; well today was the day she was going to try out for Koko and Kitsu's Street Basketball team. This meant she needed a place to change from the white, elegant, flowery dress she had worn for her parents to see her leaving the house in and into her sports gear. She was wearing a white tank top that was fitting but not revealing with black shorts with white stripes on the sides that reached to a third a way down her thigh. Her long brunette hair was now in a messy but firm bun with all the hair that fell from the bun pinned up. She was also carrying a medium sized black and baby blue sports bag over her right shoulder.

She left the boutique in a hurry before she threw up pink and glitter everywhere and continued her walk down the almost empty side walk. It only took her a few minutes from the small store to reach the court Koko had told her about the other night. To get to the court she had to go down an alleyway that was lined with graffiti though the graffiti was somewhat interesting and easy on the eyes. It surprisingly meshed together well and didn't give off a 'gangster' vibe but more a 'misunderstood artist' vibe. Once she had gotten halfway through the alleyway on her right the wall stopped and there was a gravel basketball court. The court was surrounded by brick walls on three sides and on the other side was a tall wire fence with a gate for entry. So simply put in was like pushed into the wall. Mikan walked up the open gate and looked onto the court. She saw on the opposite side of the court was two rows of seats, on the seats were 10 to 15 girls looking and acting like sluts. There were three other girls who weren't acting like this though; there was Sumire, a cute girl with raven hair and crimson eyes and ... wait - HOLD UP! Hotaru Imai! Mikan ran over to Sumire and Hotaru who here sitting together, she gave Sumire a big hug and went to hug Hotaru with the same intensity but stopped inches short. She had seen Hotaru's ice cold glare and she then dropped her arms and meekly took a few steps back.

"Hehe" Sumire laughed a little though sounding creeped out while looking at the now nonchalant Hotaru. "Congratz' on being on time" Sumire said cheekily while looking at Mikan now.

"Mmhm, But wait I know why Sumire's here-"

"To cheer on my boyfriend!" Sumire said cutting off Mikan.

"Yes, and that is her excuse to ogle hot guys..." Mikan said slyly as if she's talking to Hotaru who looks like she couldn't be less interested in the girls' jibe contest.

"How dare you! I would never! I am a faithful girlfriend to by beloved Koko!" Sumire said in an 'all high and mighty' voice while dragging out every word.

"Sure ... You would never ogle 'Natsume Hyuuga's team of hotness'" Mikan said mimicking Sumire's 'love struck' voice (that she uses frequently) while holding her stomach, attempting to hold in her laughter. Sumire put on her angry face which included her cute pout while crossing her arms and legs and look off in the opposite direction which cause more laughter to spill out of Mikan. "So anyway what I meant to say was why are you hear Hotaru? I mean you neither like basketball or hot guys... Actually all you like in money and blackmailing ... which leads back to money..." Mikan said, trailing off while scratching the back of her head.

"Fan girls pay a lot for pictures of their favourite basketball team at work." Hotaru answer in her 'no nonsense' voice. Mikan just nodded slightly before deciding to look over to the basketball court she had neglected before when she had spotted Hotaru.

Right now there were 7 guys throwing the ball around playfully.

There an older looking guy with midnight blue hair and deep blue eyes they seemed to gleam with amusement. He seemed to being acting kind of lazily and disinterested in the mini-type game they were playing, he looked like he was enjoying joking around with the other players much more. He was wearing a a lose gray tee, black shorts and a dark gray beanie.

Another guy had gorgeous, blonde hair that was neatly combed and seemed to fall exactly in place and was the owner stunning baby blue eyes. He was wearing a fitting long sleeve white tee withe the sleeves pushed up to his elbows and black shorts.

There was a younger guy with light gray hair and teal eyes. He was wearing a blue tee with some sort of cartoon on it with light gray shorts. Despite his age which was clearly one or two years below the others he was able to match if not exceed their abilities.

One guy had short, almost bald dark hair, a pair of onyx eyes and a dark complexion. He was wearing a lose white tee and black shorts. He seemed concentrated on what ever he was doing though he seemed like a smart ass.

There was Koko and Kitsu as well; Koko as wearing a plain light green tee and dark gray shorts while Kitsu was wearing a white tee with black writing on the front of it and black shorts. They were both being their usual selves and mucking around rather than actually trying.

There was one more guy but his back seemed to be permanently facing Mikan so all she could see was that he had messy raven hair and a deep red tee and black shorts.

Kitsu then spotted Mikan and left the game to greet her, "Hey Mikan! Glad to see your on time!" Kitsu said cheekily while taping the tip of her nose. Mikan rolled her eyes, now where had she heard that before? Wait why do people think that she is always late!

"Geez ... I'm not a child and stop making it sound like it's impossible for me to show up anywhere on time!" Mikan whined with her usual pout.

"Haha, fine, fine. Now c'mon let me introduce you to Natsume" Kitsu said while chuckling before lying an arm over Mikan's shoulder to guide her over to the court.

The guys stopped their game when they saw Mikan and Kitsu approaching, all of them just kinda gathered in a group in the center of the court and the guy with raven hair stepped forward towards Mikan.

"So Natsume this is Mikan, she's the girl I was telling you about who's interested in being our eighth" Koko said towards the guy before giving Mikan a gentle push.

Mikan finally got to see the guy up close and what she saw made her take a loud breath. The guy and piercing crimson eyes; identical shade and everything to the ones she had seen twice before. He looked her up and down and then gave her an amused smirk which gave her a very, very nervous feeling that her had recognized her.

"Natsume Hyuuga" Natsume said, introducing himself while extending out his hand to her.

"Mikan Sakura" She replied before hesitantly shaking his hand.

At the mention of her last name if she was paying attention to his face rather than his hand she would've seen a slight flash of surprise flash across his face. When she released his hand and finally looked up he was smirking amusedly at her. Okay she was officially dying on the inside and she hadn't even started the informal 'tryout.'

"So little girl, me and you will just play a bit on one on one with me and then I'll decide if your in or not." He said before grabbing the ball and walking off not even caring to see if she understood.

The other boys all wandered off to the side of the court silently and waited to watch how Mikan would do up against Natsume. If Mikan had been in her right state she would've been glaring at Natsume and calling him arrogant and a jerk but right now she couldn't. All she could think of what if the wall she had built so solidly had a growing crack, if something; namely Natsume Hyuuga was going to destroy it. Mikan numbly walked over to Natsume to begin the game between them, she looked up into his eyes and felt shivers down her spine as if his eyes were boring into her soul. He then broke their eye contact and looked at the ball as he started to bounce it. Mikan then shook everything else other than the game out of her head and started to focus on the ball also.

Natsume was gone in the flash of the eye leaving Mikan trailing behind and before she even knew what was happening he had already scored the first goal. Mikan now had the ball and made her move, moving almost as fast as he had though he was right beside her so she doubled back and took a shot. The ball skimmed the ring and missed. She inwardly groaned and kicked herself before passing the ball back to Natsume.

The game continued like this for a long ten minutes; Natsume scored every shot while Mikan had some close shots but no such luck.

Natsume now had the ball as Mikan was waiting for his move, me moved towards her before spinning around her to take his shot. He was too slow this time, or Mikan was too fast, either way Mikan had somehow stolen the ball from him as he passed her. She seemed more surprised then him that she had somehow managed to have stolen the ball off him. She let out a girlish squeal before realizing it and she immediately looked at the ground trying unsuccessfully to cover her blush.

"Nice job, little girl" Natsume said under his breath so only she could hear while chuckling slightly then smirking at her as he threw basketball at her.

"Just wait and see, I'll show you 'nice'" Mikan retorted back before bouncing the ball. She ceased bouncing the ball for a second as she remembered something, "Arrogant Jerk!"

She then took off gaining a slight head start on the slightly bemused Natsume and scored her first goal for the game.

The game continued for a further 10 minutes of almost even gameplay, Natsume was better, before Natsume called it quits saying he had made his decision. The six other guys all crowded around to hear his decision. Koko and Kitsu stood next to the puffing Mikan and gave a her a pat on the back and a silent admiration of her job on the court as no one has ever beaten their captain, and yes they have tried two on one.

"She's in." Natsume said jabbing his thumb towards Mikan before walking off the seats to do God knows what. Mikan rolled her eyes at his back, even though knowing he didn't see it, it made her feel better.

"Congratz! You did really well!" The blonde boy said while smiling sweetly towards Mikan.

"Oh! Thanks!" Mikan replied with her really cheery smile that she has been told 'could light up a room.' "Umm ... sorry but you are?" She continued apologetically.

"Oh! Right! Sorry, my bad, I'm the Vice Captain; Ruka Nogi!" Ruka replied.

"He's Natsume's best friend!" Kitsu said over Mikan's right shoulder.

"And don't forget he has a thing for the ice queen; Hotaru Imai!" Koko said over Mikan's other shoulder.

"Don't spout untrue information ... Idiot!" Ruka said nervously while as red as a tomato.

"Hehe, don't worry I tell to 'many' people about your little crush..." Mikan said slyly causing Koko and Kitsu to crack wide grins, proud of how they had rubbed off on their little Mikan.

"I can't believe Natsume let another one of you two on this team!" Ruka said, sounding like an insane old man while wondering off with his head in his hand. This action caused MIkan to feel sorry for the poor guy since he seemed so sweet.

"Don't worry about him he'll be fine! By the way I'm Tsubasa Andou!" The older guy with midnight blue hair said while struggling to keep a straight face. Mikan gave the guy a cheery smile in response. "And that brat there is Youichi" Tsubasa continued while pointing out the gray haired kid who was now chatting to the little girl with raven hair and crimson eyes.

"Who's the girl?" Mikan asked curiously.

"That's Aoi" Tsubasa said before walking off getting distracted by a girl in a skirt, of course forgetting about his abusive girlfriend.

"Aoi?" Mikan said not happy about the lack of detail from Tsubasa.

"Aoi Hyuuga; Natsume's little sister" Koko said once again from over her shoulder.

"Her and Youichi are best friends" Kitsu said once again from over her other shoulder.

"They should totally get together though!" That one was Koko.

The they all heard a loud fake cough from behind them. They all turned around simultaneously to see who clearly wanted their attention. The short haired guy was standing there looking annoyed-No pissed off.

"Ah ... Mochu ... hehe buddy ... almost forgot you there, Mikan this is Mochiage, though Mochu!" Koko said nervously before sprinting off with Kitsu at his heals.

"Ahh ... hi! Nice to meet you!" Mikan said faking cheery while becoming really nervous inside.

"Tsk" Mochu said under his breath before rolling his eye and shaking Mikan's outstretched arm. "Yeah ... Nice to meet you to." He said grumpily before walking off the where Ruka and Natsume were.

Mikan stood on the spot for a while before deciding to head over to where most the guys were congregating. They then all trained and played together for another thirty-five minutes before deciding to call it a day. Mikan didn't leave with everyone else though she just sat on the seats and was day dreaming, forgetting about everything else.

"Oi! Little girl what are you doing?"

"Natsume! Oh I was just- Wait! What's the time?" Mikan asked, snapping out of her reverie and realizing that she and Natsume were the only ones left.

"Quarter to twelve. Why?"

"OH NO! I'm late!" She screamed while grabbing her bag and running off leaving a chuckling Natsume behind.

YUKIHIRA - WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

Mikan Yukihira walked out of the changing room in the back a little boutique that had just a little too much pink for her tastes. Furthermore the clothes seemed to covered in glitter ... Just no. So your wondering why Mikan was even in this shop to begin with; well she needed a place to change. You see she was on her way to have lunch with her girlfriends and she was late and dressed wrong. She was wearing her sports gear but now she was wearing a white strapless dress that fell to mid thigh. It was wrapped in ribbon and lace in places and fit her like a glove. She had let her long Auburn hair down with a white lacy ribbon acting as a headband. She added a touch of strawberry lipgloss before leaving the boutique and continuing her journey to meet her friends.

Mikan entered a large, extravagant cafe with her classy white heels clacking lightly against the marble floor.

"Hello Miss," one of the waitresses greeted Mikan as she approached her.

"Hi I'm here to me- Wait, don't worry I see them" Mikan said sweetly to the young woman before walking over to her friends she had spotted. The cafe wasn't loud and didn't have many guests so it was actually quite easy to spot her friends, their colourful hair styles were also a tip off though. There was Anna, Nonoko and 2 other close friends of Mikan.

Misaki Harada, she has shoulder length pink hair that was several shades darker then Anna's and dark pink eyes. Misaki is a stubborn and rough kind of girl and absolutely hates the whole 'socialite' thing, therefor she is forever sneaking out of her family's mansion. She is also forever in trouble for sneaking out but that's another story. As she hates being a socialite she refuses to attend any events and Mikan and the other 3 are really her only friends in the social world. She was wearing sky blue skinny jeans with a simple but elegant white top.

Nobara Ibaragi, she has big blue eyes and light blue hair that is mostly straight but was curly at the end. Nobara is a shy girl but is really lively and giggly when with her close friends and when she gets her mind on something she can be really stubborn. She was wearing a simple but pretty light purple dress that had short sleeves and hung to mid thigh.

Anna was wearing a very feminine and flattering, light blue top with light gray skinny jeans while Nonoko was wearing a white long sleeve top with a tight black skirt that ended mid thigh.

"Mikan!" Anna squealed lightly before jumping up the give the brunette a big hug and kiss on the cheek before guiding Mikan to the only empty seat on the round table they were at. Mikan was now seated beside Anna and Nobara with Misaki and Nonoko across from her.

"Geez ... Always late, you are..." Misaki drawled out with her head resting on her left hand and staring at Mikan.

"My apologies girls, but I lost track of time I'm afraid..." Mikan politely and apologetically while looking at each of them in the eye in turn.

"Hehe it's fine Mikan we've only been here for around ten minutes ourselves" Anna said giggling.

"So ... I guess you lost track of time while staring at some hot basket baller" Misaki said suggestively.

"If only ... Then we would have something in common" Mikan said ever so quaintly causing all the girls including Misaki to crack a grin and giggle.

"Got me there Hun," Misaki replied once all the giggles had died down. "So girls what looks good?" Misaki continued while flipping through the menu.

"Oh! It all look so delicious I don't know what to order!" Anna said frantically and looking like she was about to have a nervous breakdown.

Nobara, Mikan and Misaki giggled lightly at the state Anna was in while Nonoko worked diligently to calm her twin down.

"I think I would love to try to strawberry cake, but the Vanilla slice also looks delicious..." Nobara said to Mikan and Misaki who were beside her.

"Hmm ... How about we all get one dish each and then share so we get to taste a variety of items!" Mikan said brightly while holding up one finger in the air.

"That's a great idea!" Anna said now jumping back to normal causing the other girls' sweat to drop.

"You're so beautiful

But that's not why I love you

I'm not sure you know

That the reason I love you is you

Being you

Just you"

Mikan immediately started ruffling through her handbag for her phone, then music then stopped and Mikan put a sparkly purple phone to her ear

"Hello, Mikan Yukihira speaking" She said in to the phone. "Oh! Hello Mother! ... No it's fine ... Yeah, just one moment please" She then took the phone away from her ear and covered the receiver. "Sorry Girls, I need to take this so just order for me, all right?" She said to the girls before walking off to take her phone call elsewhere.

"Sorry Mother, you have my full attention"

"Don't worry about it dear, I called because I wanted to tell you some exciting news!"

"Oh, okay then what is this exciting piece of news?"

"You remember my best friend from back in High school; Kaoru Hyuuga?"

"Of course!"

"Well, I was talking to her recently and it turns out she has two children around the same age as you!"

"That's great news mother but I am not sure the relevance?"

"Oh! Of course! Well, Kaoru and myself thought it would be great for you guys to meet so we organized for her family to visit ours for lunch this Saturday!"

"Oh, that would be great to finally meet Kaoru and I'm sure her children would be just as nice as you said she was!"

"I'm glad you excited, so you will defiantly be there?"

"Defiantly Mother, now if you don't mind I have some friends to get back to." MIkan said hanging up the phone and returning to her friend who were already digging into their food. Mikan then spent the rest of their lunch with a peaceful smile lighting her face, knowing that she would soon be meeting her mother old best friend she had heard so much about.

But how long would that smile last for?

So did you like, love or hate it!

Personally I hope you love it cause i spent some time on it!
