Senior 3:- Karma
Mikan and Hoshi were walking side by side chatting between themselves.
Mikan being dense didn't see the fact that many boys were drooling at her sight and also were looking suspiciously at Hoshi who sorta caught their gazes and was feeling insecure but she didn't show it….
"Let's go to the head first and clear away your academics okay?"- Mikan said.
Hoshi nodded with a smile and followed Mikan who soon halted her steps in front of a room.
Stepping inside both girls came face to face with principal who gave a smile.
"Hoshi, I hope you will adjust to this school!"- The man said.
"Ai!"- Hoshi replied with a bow.
"Since you have perfected your alice in every sense I guess you will be a dangerous abilities type not forgetting a special star."
Again Hoshi nodded.
"I have sent your uniform to your room, since today is Sunday I trust Miss Sakura here to show you around, as time goes by I'm sure you will make many friends."
Hoshi bit her lip and nodded.
Mikan stared at her wondering about her response but kept quiet.
"You may leave now but before you go let me make one thing clear, now that you are here don't betray us like her okay!"- The principal wasn't asking her, he was making a command which Hoshi obliged and got up ready to leave.
Once they reached outside there was a moment of silence between the two.
"Listen you can feel free to talk to me whenever you want, I'll always be there for you"- Mikan said finally breaking the silence.
Hoshi gave a sigh and smiled. She and Mikan ran ahead ready to catch the bus.
Many students were present there… Seniors, juniors, Elementary students were present too waiting eagerly for the bus.
Mikan suddenly stopped in her tracks and pointed at two people who were sitting below the Sakura Tree.
"That's them eh?"- Hoshi asked.
Mikan gave a nod and then squeezed Hoshi's hands with excitement…
Both Natsume and Youchii were dozing away, still lost in their slumber.
"Hm……"- Hoshi thought noting the two boy's appearance.
Those two definitely are womanizers … Oh well I don't have anything to worry about right; I'm a teen not a woman….
"Who's the kid with you BAKA?"- came a cackling voice.
Mikan swore under her breath which Hoshi caught and looked towards their intruder.
A girl same age as Mikan, a little taller had green long hair which were permed at the corners….
"Think you can get Natsume by tagging along some junior with you uh?"- The girl again asked her voice obviously angry.
"Don't sweat it Permy, I have no interest in Natsume, Hoshi is a friend of mine"- Mikan replied trying to be the pacifist.
"FRIEND! Do you take me as some moron huh?"- The girl asked eying Hoshi.
She gave a laugh which was followed by some of the other fan girls who were standing behind her. Hoshi turned her head to have a look and was sorta disgusted for those girls were wearing t-shirts which had "NATSUME I LOVE YOU" branded on it not forgetting the black cat's picture.
"Listen what's your problem Sumire? Like I said Natsume is my arch enemy so why are you arguing on a stupid thing like that with me?"- Mikan asked as if it were the most common thing in the world.
"STUPID THING?????? NATSUME-KUN IS NO STUPID THING YOU BITCH!"- She screamed at the top of her voice.
Suddenly without warning Sumire lunged towards Mikan turning into her cat-dog appearance and motioned the others to do the same until-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"- Sumire screamed as she was flung back startling the present crowd including-
"Youchii did you hear that???"- A raven-haired lad asked the boy sitting next to him.
The silver-haired dude opened his eyes nodding.
Both stood up angry at being woken up from their slumber until they reached the spot from where the sound had come from.
Instantly they froze on the ground at what they saw…
"DON'T EVEN TOUCH HER!"-Hoshi hissed at Sumire before flinging her aside.
"H-Hoshi?"- Mikan whispered and laid her hands on her shoulders calming her down.
Everyone backed away except for the fan girls who almost without warning starting attacking Hoshi.
Hoshi stepped back clasping Mikan's hands and soar high in the air like a bird landing gracefully at the other end.
"Do you wish to include yourself in this fight?"- Hoshi asked Mikan who gave a grin and nodded.
"Form a nullification barrier around me and watch!"- Hoshi ordered silently.
The crowd had started to gather around the fight.
Natsume and Youchii climbed on top of the trees to further witness the fight better.
Natsume's mind-" Polka fighting.. And that kid who is she?
Youchii's mind- " Sakura fighting.. And that girl… She's looks powerful…
"Do you still want to fight cat-dog girl?"- Hoshi asked as Sumire stepped in looking furious.
She was surrounded by four girls who were glaring daggers at the two girls.
"YOU'D WISH YOU'D NEVER BEEN BORN BRAT!!!!!!!"- Sumire hissed before jumping at Hoshi who just watched… Standing still with Mikan behind her.
The minute Sumire fell on Hoshi she hit herself against something blue only to be thrown back.
"WHAT THE"- She was cut off only to be lifted in the air.
Hoshi stepped out of Mikan's barrier and looked at her with a questioning look.
"Should I?"- She asked but Mikan shook her head.
Instantly Hoshi let go of Sumire who landed safely on the ground.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU??? WHAT IS SHE DOING WITH YOU?"- Sumire yelled at Hoshi.
Hoshi could feel a tinge of pain in her heart.
"None of your concern"- Hoshi whispered.
"ANSWER ME BRAT"- Sumire screamed.
"ENOUGH!"- Mikan yelled.
"If you don't want yourself to land in the hospital badly injured I suggest you shut the fuck up Sumire"- Mikan said. She had noticed the expression on Hoshi and wanted the fight to end immediately.
"Why do you defend her Sakura?"- came a cold sound.
All head turned towards the sound while the fan girls squealed with delight.
"She's a friend Natsume!"- Mikan hissed back.
"Looks like Sakura got herself a protector; I didn't know she was that weak"- Youchii said standing near Natsume.
"Watch your mouth brat!"- Hoshi whispered at him as she turned to face him.
A gasp was followed throughout the crowd.
Youchii raised his brow surprised … He was expecting the girl to fall all over him but got the cold shoulder instead.
"Didn't know Sakura had the guts to save others also"- Youchii stated.
"Oh! She does way more than that actually, something which you don't know and never will either."- Hoshi said with a smirk.
"Whatever!"- Sumire said flipping her hair and left.
"THAT WAS SO COOL!!!!!"- Few boys shouted at Hoshi who looked over in surprise.
"Hey are you new here kid?"- One boy asked.
Hoshi smiled giving a nod.
Mikan looked from Hoshi to Youchii…. Youchii was staring at Hoshi who was merely blushing at the fact that so many guys were drooling over her.
Getting nervous Hoshi walked past them and just as she brushed past Hoshi she heard a whisper-" Nice Job Girl"
Hoshi swore that it was the silver-haired demon's voice but she gave a smirk at him before moving towards Mikan.
"C'mon Mi-Chan!"- Hoshi stated and ran towards the bus occupying the last seat quickly.
Mikan followed suit and soon both were chattering happily…
The minute Hoshi was settled two boys came towards Mikan blushing a little.
Natsume and Youchii were glaring at the two boys….
Natsume's POV:-
Since when did Polka become so powerful… I didn't even know she could create a barrier and that girl… Her powers are good… That's surprising… She isn't even scared of me and Youchii.. Actually he's acting weird…
End of POV.
Youchii's POV:-
That girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Who does she think she is?... Brat!... Why no one ever said that to me and what the freaking hell are those two boys doing???...
DAMN!... Holding their hands now are they?.. I wonder how Natsume is reacting to this…
The silver-haired teen looked at the raven-head sitting beside him…
What he saw shocked him… he saw jealousy…
Youchii sighed….
He had known for long that Natsume was in love with Mikan but never said anything…
That is something he must understand himself….
Even though Youchii loved teasing Mikan and scaring the devils out of her, he held great respect for the brunette. He knew she was of great importance in Natsume's life and therefore she was in fact the only girl he even spoke to….
Unfortunately Mikan being dense never realized this instead she would scream more at him….
Suddenly the image of Mikan screaming at him was replaced by the new girl who was Mikan's friend….
Youchii removed the image from his mind…
Why the hell was he thinking about her… Before he could answer that question the Bus came to a halt as it stopped in Central Town.
With Mikan and Hoshi:-
Mikan blushed when the boy raised her hand gently and placed a kiss upon it…
"My name is Pablo, Phobia Alice; would you like to accompany me to the coming ball in our school?"- The boy names Pablo asked.
Mikan stared at him noting his appearance, he was a blonde, sparkling green eyes and fit physique.
The other boy however wasn't interested in Mikan but in Hoshi who wasn't paying any attention to the boy.
"Um.. You're name's Hoshi right?? My name's Ryuu, I'm 15, wanna be my dance partner"- The boy asked.
The boy had flaming-red hair and piercing black orbs, tall and fit but that didn't really impress Hoshi who just rolled her eyes and walked past him Mikan following behind as she took down Pablo's offer.
The minute Mikan stepped down she gave a squeal pulling Hoshi along with her and running to her all time favorite shop-
"HOWALONS!!!!!!!!!!!"- The brunette screamed in ecstasy.
Soon her wish was fulfilled and she brought a box of howalons sharing offering one to Hoshi.
"Um……. This is soo sweet!"- The raven-head said.
"I know!"- Mikan exclaimed jumping joyfully.
Mikan stopped when she spotted a little boy crying loudly….
"Hey kid what's wrong?"- Hoshi asked concerned.
"I'm lost!"- The boy sniffed.
"HUH? Are you here alone boy?"- Mikan asked as she offered him a howalon hoping maybe he would calm down.
Surprisingly he did and sniffed loudly-" I came here with my grandpa but now I can't find him!!!!."
"Then we'll help you find him don't worry!"- Hoshi said picking the little boy up and giving him a smile.
"But Hoshi you needed to buy your"- Hoshi cut off Mikan and shook her head.
"It's okay, this one is more important."
"Ai!"- Mikan said and patted the little boy's head.
"Okay then where was the last time you saw you grandpa huh?"- Hoshi asked after the boy had calmed down.
"In the Coffee Shop!"- The boy answered.
With that both Mikan and Hoshi set off towards the coffee shop…
"NO HE'S NOT HERE!"- The boy wailed looking about desperately.
"Little one do you know where you both were heading to?"- Mikan asked.
"Uh huh!"- The boy nodded.
"He was taking me for shopping for my birthday!"- The boy said.
"It's your Birthday today?"- Hoshi asked.
"HAI!"- The young boy said proudly.
"Ok then if he's not here then why don't we head over to this place where he's supposed to be."- Mikan said and turned ready to leave only to bump into-
"Well I didn't know Polka was so desperate to see me?"- The raven-haired dude replied.
Mikan glared into his crimson orbs and took a side step.
"Surprised to see you here Natsume!"- Mikan had just started to walk away…
"WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"- The little kid started crying loudly.
"Hey what's up now?"- Hoshi asked.
"My medicine!!!!(sniff sniff) I (sob) need my (sob) medicine!"- The little boy cried.
"Who's this little boy?"- Youchii asked.
"He got separated from his grandpa!"- Hoshi answered and took the asthma filter away from him shaking it.
"Its empty we better fill it"- She told Mikan not paying any attention to any of the boys.
"WAIT! You're leaving this kid with her"- Natsume emphasized the last word.
"AND SO WHAT???!!"- Mikan snarled back at him her amber orbs burning into his crimson ones.
"YOU'RE AN IMMATEUR YOURSELF!"- Natsume smirked.
"WHY YOU"- Mikan was about to strike at him when Hoshi suddenly came in the middle .
"STOP IT! Why don't we all help this kid together?."
Hoshi looked at Youchii for a second expecting his answer but he slightly blushed and turned his head away..
Now Natsume saw this and smirked…
So he likes her huh?...
"I DON'T HAVE TO WASTE MY TIME WITH THIS IDIOT!"- Natsume said.
"WELL NEITHER DO I!"- Mikan said pouting.
"FINE! GET LOST THEN!"- With that Hoshi walked away the little kid in her hands and looked back beckoning to Youchii.
"Coming Youchii????"- Her question startled him but he didn't respond.
"I guess not!"- Hoshi said looking a little disappointed.
"WAIT!"- Natsume said stopping the raven-head from leaving them.
"I and Polka will take the kid to the shopping complex, we don't want to miss his grandpa being there, you and Youchii get the medicine so hand over the kid"- Natsume said.
"WAIT A SEC! I'm not hanging around a moron like you!"- Mikan insisted her pout gone but a blush could be seen appearing on her delicate face.
"THEN DON'T!"- Natsume simply said while picking up the kid and walking away.
"HEY HOLD ON!!!!!!!!!!!"- Mikan screamed as she tumbled back after him.
Hoshi gave a chuckle and looked over at Youchii who was staring at her.
She turned away from him her cheeks flushed red and started her way to the chemist's.
With Hoshi and Youchii
Hoshi's POV:-
I don't really expect myself to talk anything out of Youchii cause I myself am not the talking type. Because of this there was complete silence on the way…
Oh well good for me….. Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! What am I saying???... I'm feeling lonely but what the hell am I gonna say… I can't say I'm shy just not talkative….. I can't just say hey there I'm hoshi tell me something about yourself… He'll think I'm a complete fool.
Actually why am I even bothered as to how he feels for me…. CORRUPTED MIND!...
Mustn't think about anything…. This is not fair… I feel bored and I wanna do something…. Oh Wait! We're going to the chemists right… I think that'll be enough…
End of POV.
Youchii's POV:-
I wonder what she's thinking… From what I've seen so far she's the only girl who hasn' fallen at my feet begging for attention.. As a matter for fact she doesn't even care if I talk to her or not…. Hard to take in.. I guess she's different…
WOAH WOAH!! Did I just like compliment this girl????... I don't even like her… She's proud and very rude… She's not like.. I mean… DARN!... I don't even know what to say now… Oh this is knew she seems to be in deep thought…
Why's she looking at me???... Is it me she's thinking about…. GET A GRIP YOUCHII!...
She's no one to me!... But still it's alluring to think that she's-
Um.. Youchii why're you looking at me?- She asked suddenly.
I looked at her and for the first time noticed her eyes… Shockingly pale silver-blue..
More like a mist appearing in the night sky…
Beautiful…. Looking at her???????...
She's the one who's been looking at me….
End of POV.
When Youchii turned his gaze on Hoshi she blushed and for the first actually took full note of his appearance…
Silver unruly hair, sparkling aqua-green orbs and a perfect built for a 13 year old.
What was most appealing was his way to carry off his style… Just by looking at him the first word that comes to one's mind would be "COOL" …….
"I'm so not falling for him!"- Hoshi thought and hurried a little away from him…
"Why's she running away from me?.. I thought she wasn't scared of my alice!"- Youchii thought.
"DUMB AREN'T THEY?"- Author asks.
"We're here"- Hoshi announced as she went inside the shop and came across a purple haired teen who was snoring lazily on his counter.
BANG!- The loud crash caused him to nearly fall off his chair leaving the other two in giggles actually one, Youchii was merely impressed.
"WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS!"- They heard him grumble as he sat back in his chair scowling away.
"Sir we really need to refill this, it's an emergency!"- Hoshi pleaded.
The teenager huffed and looked away- "Wrong Time, can't you see it's my free hour!."
"But it's an emergency c'mon!"- Hoshi pleaded again.
The teen looked at her his gaze traveling all over her…
He gave a smirk, a mischievous glint in his jade eyes- "On one condition."
He motioned Hoshi to come closer and whispered into her ears.
Youchii was near away from punching the boy especially when he saw Hoshi's eyes widen…
"What the f#c$ is he saying to her???"- The demon manipulator thought.
The boy moved away that mischievous glint still present in his eyes…
"Fine I'll do it but please refill this!"- Hearing that the boy again gave a grin disappearing and then reappearing after some time with the medicine.
"50 RABBITS PLEASE!"- The boy said lifting his hands for the money.
"WHAT!!!!!!! BUT YOU.. I EVEN AGREED TO THAT BUT!"- Hoshi turned scarlet with anger and grumbled to herself…
Bastard!!!!... I can't believe I'm doing this… My money.. It's all gonna get spent.
"Here!"- She thrust the 50 rabbits at him, snatching away the packet of medicine and moved towards the exit.
"DON'T FORGET GIRL! YOU BETTER BE THERE!"- The teen said smiling at himself.
Giving a sigh Hoshi left the shop followed by an all together confused silver haired lad.
"What did he ask you to do?" He asked after sometime.
"Nothing that concerns you"- Hoshi said.
Youchii was about to say-"everything you do concerns me" but stopped…
"Whatever, Just hurry up!"- He said and walked away.
"Jerk!"- Hoshi hissed under her breathe.
With Mikan and Natsume
The brunette walked behind the teenage Natsume looking at his back…
"He's changed yet I never noticed!"- She thought.
He had the little boy in his embrace and soon came to a halt.
"We're here!"- He said and smirked at the dazed look on Mikan's face.
"WHAT!"- Mikan demanded of him.
"Nothing Strawberries!"- He smirked again only to get a punch across his face.
"OI!"- He yelled letting go of the brown-haired kid in his arms.
"That felt good!"- Mikan chuckled only to find a certain burning smell reaching her nostrils.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"- The brunette shrieked in fear and tried to put out the fire…
"NATSUME!"- Mikan's amber eyes emit a certain wrath within them and if only Natsume would have had the sense to run away but alas-
"YOU'RE SO DEAD!"- Mikan yelled and lashed out at Natsume who dodged tripping Mikan as she fell face down on the ground.
"So it's cherries today?"- Nastume smirked looking below.
"Natsume !!!!!!! You pervert!!!!!!!!"- Mikan screamed.
Hurriedly getting up she felt like thrashing him away but she knew she would give her second alice away if she did!...
Natsume smirked at her only to see the brunette's eyes widen and she screamed-
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!!!."
Mikan pushed Natsume and Yuu to the other side and took a leap.
Right at that moment a huge car came throttling forward ripping away few chairs and tables set outside.
Yuu had started crying again frightened at the sudden assault.
Mikan who wasn't really hurt inched close to the little boy's face.
"Hush!!!! Nothing will happen, we'll protect you.".- She whispered.
Her breath was so close to his chest!!!...
The boy stopped immediately and gave a brave nod.
"Thank you!"- He said and caressed Mikan's cheek who gave one of her ever charming smiles….
Natsume could practically feel his heart skip beats…. His eyes softened as he watched his love… …
"Beautiful……"- He thought.
Mikan!!!!!- Hoshi called out to the brunette as she approached her with Youchii following behind.
"WHERE'S Yuu????(The little kid's name!)"- Hoshi asked.
"He's here"- Natsume brought out the kid from nowhere (anime style) shoving him to the raven.
"C'mon!"- Hoshi said
"All right!"- Mikan said as she looked at the shopping complex which was filled with people.
"Kid anyone here that you recognize?"- Hoshi asked.
The boy looked about his pale sapphire eyes scanning all the people present there.
Suddenly he let go of his grasp on the raven-head and ran screaming-
"GRANDPA! GRANDPA! GRANDPA! GRANDPA!"
Yuu banged into an elderly gentleman who was wearing a very expensive black Armani suit.
"YUU!!!!!! WHERE DID YOU GO!!! YOU WORRIED ME SOO MUCH"- The old man lifted his grandson in the air hugging him securely.
Hoshi and the rest walked up to the old man smiling with satisfaction.
"GRANDPA!!!"- Yuu tugged on his grandpa's suit and pointed towards Mikan and the rest.
"They helped me Grandpa!"- The little boy said.
"This lady"- Yuu said pointing towards Mikan- "She saved me from a biiggggggg car!."
"And this lady here"- She bought me my medicine grandpa!."
The old man looked towards the two girls who were blushing lightly.
"Hey Hoshi how much was the medicine for?"- Mikan asked trying to change the subject.
"Um.. 50 rabbits!"- Hoshi replied softly.
"WHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTTT??????????.. BUT THAT WAS YOUR MONEY TO BUY YOUR CLOTHES!... HOW'RE YOU GONNA"-Mikan was smacked on the head by the raven who was glaring at her.
"It's no problem Mikan!"- Hoshi said still keeping up the glare.
"But still you did it for my grandson and I'm in your debt!"- The old man said.
The girls turned towards him and blushed. Like Yuu he too had blonde hair and sapphire blue orbs… He looked to be a busy man and Mikan wondered if she had ever seen him anywhere…
"Anyone would have done it so there's no need for"- Hoshi was left incomplete when the man clasped his hands with hers…
"No! I will repay you back, you need clothes right, well you can buy as many as you want no need to pay or anything else, take it as my gift please not some kind of credit!"- He looked so persuading that finally Hoshi had to submit.
"Thank you Sir very much for everything!"- Mikan remarked clearly excited.
"No it's my pleasure!"- He said his eyes twinkling.
Both Hoshi and Mikan laughed while the two boys only scowled at being ignored.
"You really don't know who I am huh?"- The man asked.
"NO! SORRY!"- Both girls remarked.
"Have you heard of the Armageddon Fashion House?"- The man asked.
"Yeah I do"- Mikan said.
"Well nice meeting you ladies, My name is Richard Armageddon, CEO of this fashion house"- The man said extending an arm.
"COOL!"- Mikan exclaimed.
"Actually I'm going be releasing my newest designs, it's based on the teens today."
"I was wondering why don't you two come along and model my designs, both of you are perfect, beautiful with attitude."
"No thank you!"- Natsume drawled from behind.
"Yeah this old hag and this ugly brat will spoil your collection."- Youchii added with a smirk.
Mikan and Hoshi were glaring daggers at the two boys.
"OH REALLY!!!!?????"- Mikan asked.
"Sourpuss and the devil are probably jealous!"- Hoshi replied.
"WHAT!???"- Now it was Natsume and Youchii who were pissed.
"Well how about all four of you join me in this celebrity event, I'm ready to take the risk!
"We will be willing to do so!"- Mikan said.
"Hai!"- Hoshi replied.
"Hn"- Natsume expressed.
"Whatever"- replied the silver-haired teen.
Richard looked at the four arguing teens in front of him smiling to himself….
"Children today"- he thought.
"Hey let's shop!"- Mikan exclaimed.
"YEP WHY NOT!"- Hoshi said grabbing Mikan…
Before she left she went over to the little kid who was clung in his grandpa's arms.
"Bye Yuu hope to see you soon"- With that both Hoshi and Mikan gave a slight peck on the kid's cheek and ran ahead completely excited.
Natsume and Youchii followed knowing the worst possibilities that had yet to come …
"Shopping"- Both thought with a groan….
Somewhere in the mall:-
Those two are getting close to my Natsume-kun….
I won't allow it…. I must do something so separate them….
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE!!!!!!!...
Perfect!... My plan is definitely work!...
I hope my Natsume-Kun won't get angry but hey it won't be me….
HA HA HA HA( Cackles like a witch!)
"I can't believe we can buy stuff for free!"- Mikan cried in ecstasy.
"Good Karma Mi-Chan!"- Hoshi replied laughing……
"Would you buy the damn clothes quickly!"- Youchii groaned.
"Yeah your voice is starting to hurt my ears!"- Natsume said with a look of fake disgust.
"HMPH!"- Both girls exclaimed.
