MY FOE IS FIANCÉ?!

Chapter 3 Another Hyuuga

Written By Sarah Patrick

The night was beautiful as the full moon shone brightly pouring its veil on the mysterious yet elegant ground of Gakuen Alice. It was after dinner and as one of the young master of Alice, Mikan Sakura; a special star student walked helplessly and feeling devastated as she dragged her feet towards a certain boy's room. The extra Math's exercise books felt heavy for a funny reason in her arms as she wished that she would rather stay a night with the vicious scary Mr. Bear than that Natsume Hyuuga. She frowned as her eyes met with the oak crafted wooden door with a golden plate hung high at the door which printed "Alice & Clan Master Natsume Hyuuga"

"I am the most unlucky girl ever live in this cruel world!" she cried as she let out a low deep sigh... and knocked on the door lightly twice.

"Knowing that idiot, I bet he would not let me in...," she began, "But then... that's a good thing because it means that I can at last go back to my room and sleeeeeeeeep!!" chirped Mikan happily as she was about to skip away from Natsume's door. Alas! To her horror, Natsume's door clicked opened as a shirtless sleepy guy appeared before it.

"-Yawn-... N'tsume, is that you?" yawned the raven haired guy as he rubbed his left crimson eye sleepily. Mikan was dumbfolded. 'Why is Natsume asking me a silly question like that? Uh-Oh... maybe he is still half-conscious. This is dangerous.'

"I-I-I-I t-t-think I-I-I'll c-come l-later, o-okay, N-Natsume?" stuttered the freaked out Mikan as she was about to leave. The guy's eyes widen when he realized that Mikan was there and pulled her back by her arm.

"Je suis désole (I am sorry). I was a little dizzy. What are you doing here, petite belle (little pretty girl)?" asked Natsume with a French accent as stared down at the short auburn. Mikan was shocked. 'Natsume Hyuuga can speak French?? What the hell does it means??'

"You were suppose to teach me Maths remember. You are my partner. But... s-since you are just awake, then... I better come back tomorrow... hehe... bye!" said Mikan nervously as she was about to run away.

"Wait. Are you Mikan Sakura?" asked Natsume as though the question wasn't awkward at all. Mikan was petrified. 'This guy is seriously crazy.'

"Good night!!" she said half-screaming as she struggled to break free from his clutch but he dragged her into the special star massive room and brought her into his study corner and pushed her into a vacant chair.

"Stay there," he said and he left. Mikan was sitting uncomfortably in her chair. Her mind was all mess up and she wanted to leave desperately. Her eyes traced the details of the room for an open window or any sign which reads 'escape'. She was desperately wanted to go away from there, for Natsume was behaving extremely strange. Her eyes fell upon a big window across the air-conditioned room. She looked around for the sign of Natsume if he was around during her trial to escape... and 'the coast is clear'... her heart beat faster as she prayed to god that Natsume wouldn't caught her running away... sweat started to trickled down her cheek as she build her courage to run away... and she's off... dashing towards the close window across the room with light footsteps... breathing fast and she could swear that even the door seemed to shine to let her through... but then, all those hope and work shattered into pieces and became useless when Natsume caught her by her wrist.

"Where on Earth are you going?" asked Natsume as he asked her dangerously. "And how the hell did you entered into my room without my permission?" Mikan gawked at him. 'What is he talking about?! He was the one who dragged me in first!'

"I-I t-t--"began Mikan but the boy cut her off.

"Never mind. Since I have to bloody teach you Maths, argh,... then... go seat there! Tch... How annoying," he snapped and he slipped his hands into his faded jeans. Mikan was shocked to see his behavior change back to normal again... but then... 'What happened to his French accent?' Mikan silently walked back towards her seat. She flipped her Maths exercise book opened and turned to page one... and she frowned. The first question was asking about simultaneous equation. The second question was about trigonometry and the third was about matrices. She pouted as she scratched her head to answer the question...

"Hyuuga!" called Mikan as she turned to look at him and pouted. "I really don't know how to do this... help me, please!!" she begged. Natsume stared at her in annoyance.

"What?!" he asked her curtly as he walked and took a quick look at the question... and then threw his infamous glare at her.

"You are such an idiot. I rather not waste my time answering this easy question for you," he snapped and left.

"Make sure you leave before eleven and don't lock the door," he said before he clicked the door shut... leaving the girl fuming furiously. She was almost in tears. His words were too harsh and he was not very helpful either. She has to master Mathematics within one semester before her final exams of her final year in the academy before it ended. She doesn't want to repeat high school again because of her failing maths...!

BANG!

Her fist throbbed painfully on the hard wooden table. She just wished that someone would help her... someone like...

"Hotaru?" she gasped as she remembered her best friend. A smile carved on her face and she packed up her stuff. She had decided to ask Hotaru for help.

"Where are you going, petite belle?" asked a voice in a French accent and she swiveled just to see Natsume was leaning against the wall with different clothing. 'Huh? I thought he left already.'

"Leaving. Since you are not helping me in Maths... I rather ask someone who would help me to graduate successfully from this academy than you arrogant self-conceit person. Hmp," she snapped and was about to walk away. But to her surprise, Natsume threw a fist on the wall, blocking her way to the door. 'What the hell?'

"Don't go, petite belle... I will teach you... go back and sit... I'll help you," he said with his slightly thick French accent which makes Mikan jaw dropped open. 'Did Natsume say that he's going to teach me?'

"Eh? I thought—" began Mikan but Natsume cut her.

"Tch, don't bother what I've said earlier. I'll help you," he said, now sounding more like the Natsume she knew for his accent suddenly disappeared. 'But... Natsume would not help me. This is absurd. This had to be a dream. Mikan. Wake up! Wake up!' Natsume stared unbelievingly at Mikan who was slapping herself over and over again... he took her hand and stared at her hard.

"Are you okay?" he blurted out loud. His features... even though he looked like Natsume but there were a slight difference in his looks. His raven hair has a little curl at every end and slightly longer. His crimson eyes was the same but yet, even brighter and nicer. He has the look of a person who will always smile, even though he was staring at her with the usual look. 'Maybe... this is not Natsume... I bet someone is using his looks by using the Alice of disguise.'

"Are you really Natsume Hyuuga?" asked Mikan.

"I asked you first, mademoiselle (miss),"

"Na na, I want to know that fact first,"

"Polka-dots,"

"Y-you pervert!" she stammered as she felt angrier by the second. She couldn't believe that she almost believed her theory that the person that was standing in front of her was not Natsume Hyuuga.

"Pardon! (Sorry) I had always wanted to try to call you that, Sakura," he chuckled. "My frère (brother) talks a lot about you. Funny guy he is. He has a fiancée but yet still talk a lot about another girl. Tsk," Mikan stared at him befuddled. 'What the hell is he talking about??'

"F-frère ...?"

"Hm... sorry. I am Natsumi Hyuuga, Natsume's younger twin brother. Natsume doesn't know that I am here. I just arrived from Paris this après-midi (afternoon)..."

"B-brother…? P-Paris...? A- après-midi…?"

"Yeah... I came from the Alice Académie (Academy) of Europe. I've decided to transfer here to Japan for fun. I totally couldn't believe him when he said he has a fan club here. I really wanna check that out," he said with a smile on his face. Natsumi didn't realized the 'blur' and yet super confused look of the auburn. Firstly, she has no idea what he was talking about with those French words. Second, she was amazed—with the fact that Natsume has a twin. And thirdly, that smile was too breathtaking, too handsome, taken the life out of her.

"Fan club...?" asked Mikan inwardly with blushes tinged on her cheek.

"Uh. Are you okay, Sakura?" asked Natsumi as he just realized her befuddlement. He put his hands on her forehead to check if she had a fever... and that was a super wrong move... Mikan blushed so hard that he could feel the radiant heat from her face.

'Dieu! (God!)' Natsumi thought in alarm.

"You're super hot!" he gasped. Mikan jaw dropped for she misinterpreted him. 'Me? Hot?'

"I'll take the wet towel!" he said quickly and then Mikan understood.

"No no. It's okay. I'm fine. I'll better go and meet Hotaru. She'll teach me Maths. Sorry for disturbing you, Hyuuga," she said politely as she bowed and she blushed again. 'Natsumi is so much nicer than that pervert Natsume! Hmp!'

"Aww... really? But if you wouldn't mind, I could replace my frère (brother) to help you," said Natsumi with a smear of disappointment in his tone. All this while, Natsumi had secretly admired her whenever he heard anything about Mikan from Natsume. Natsume talked a lot of things about Mikan because Natsumi always asked him about her. But then, Natsume thought that he was just asking about Mikan because Natsume thought that he found her 'idiocy' was hilarious.

But truthfully, it was different. Mikan gave him a smile. 'Wow...' he thought as he started to blush a little. 'That smile is surely sweet… opposite to what Natsume said! She doesn't look like a monkey when she smiles. Tch. Natsume… I don't understand why you find this girl annoying.'

"Thanks, Hyuuga," she chirped as she sat back to her seat and flipped her book open again.

"Tch... just call me Natsumi, Sakura," he said. Mikan stared at him. 'Whoa... he is soooo much different than Natsume! Very opposite!'

"Then... call me Mikan, Natsumi-kun," she smiled as Natsumi who took a chair and sat beside her. He patiently taught her every topic she couldn't understand (means everything. She sucks in mathematics remember?)... Until the clock ticked and struck twelve... then, they realized that it was late and time for bed. Natsumi and Mikan walked out of Natsume's special star room and walked together back to their own room.

"Good night, Natsumi," chirped the tired Mikan as she entered into her room.

"Bonne nuit (Good night)," he replied as he entered his new room which was located two rooms away from hers. He walked and jumped on his special star bed. He was still smiling and that smile didn't want to fade away. He was happy. For all this while, he could only hear many things about her through Natsume... even though, Natsume had criticized her badly. He never did care about that… but now, he was face to face with her... and even talking to her... and she even smiling back at him... it was such cozy yet nice feeling. Little he realized for his crush towards her had changed to love... and that love bloomed as the clock ticked and slowly he slipped into the land of Nod with Mikan's smiling face in his thoughts…

NEXT DAY

The class D of the high school division of Gakuen Alice on the fine late spring was really noisy as they talked happily about their upcoming summer holidays. It was a miracle that the students were allowed to go back home during the holidays. Usually only top students and Alice/Clan masters were allowed to go back for the holidays. Natsume Hyuuga and Ruka Nogi was playing black jack amongst themselves with Ruka's bunny... ignoring the noisy class.

Ruka shuffled the cards and passed two each amongst the three of them.

"Natsume," said Ruka quietly as he stared hard at his cards. It was two of hearts and jack of spades.

"Hmm," replied Natsume as he too was concentrating on the game. He has a queen of hearts and king of spades. 'Should I risk it?'

"Mikan-chan is late again, isn't she?" he asked as he took a card out from the pack and bit his lips in regret.

"Aww… shoot…" he muttered as he threw his cards revealed the third card: King of diamonds. Natsume smirked.

"Tell me when that Polka-dot has ever arrived early to class, Ruka," began Natsume as he threw his cards on the table. "I win," he chuckled but Ruka's bunny stepped on his hands and threw its cards on Natsume's revealed an ace of spades and king of clover.

"Oh my. You win then," Ruka chuckled as he patted on his bunny's head. Just then, their homeroom teacher entered in a rush. Even for a man, his long wavy blonde hair and his features was too pretty and feminine. He was wearing frilly woman clothes with matching slacks.

"Eh-hm... Good morning class. I have good news. We have a new student. A special star and he's from Paris!" chirped Narumi-sensei as he clapped his hands to gain more attention from the inattentive class. Every eye was upon him now as the teacher had illegally used his Love Pheromone Alice on them. He smiled guiltily at Ruka who was the Master of Pheromone Alice. He knew that it was an offence to do so, especially towards the Master, but knowing the prince, Ruka wouldn't take any action against him.

"As I have said earlier… we have a new student from Paris," he said as he cleared his throat. The class burst into excitement.

"New student, at this time of the year??"

"Wow!!"

"I wonder if he's as handsome as Natsume and charming as Prince Ruka,"

"Come in, Hyuuga!" called Narumi-sensei and the whole class were shocked to hear it. 'Hyuuga?' Even Natsume himself was shocked. And the door slid opened--revealed a handsome and smiling raven haired boy with shiny crimson eyes.

"He looks exactly like Natsume!!" cried Sumire in surprise. Every eyes darted from the new boy to Natsume and back to the new boy and Natsume again and it repeated all over again that the author herself become very lazy to type those details. She grumbled in her seat at the end corner of the classroom as she rolled her eyes at the characters of Gakuen Alice. 'Argh! Annoying crews!' (Just wanna butt in the story a little… just like Higuchi did… hehe)

"Let me introduce you to our new student…" began Narumi-sensei but the new boy held up his hand as he wanted to introduce himself to the class… the girls started to squeak in admiration.

"Natsumi Hyuuga… special star… Alice—Ice," he said as he slipped his hands into his pockets and smile at the class.

"Cool…" sighed the RukaXNatsume fan club members.

"I didn't know your brother transferred here, Natsume," said Ruka as he looked at Natsume sideways. Natsume shrugged.

"I didn't know that either," he said.

"Natsume-kuuuuuuuuun… I didn't know you have a twin brother!!" cried Sumire as she looked at him (trying to look cute) with her eyes blinking continuously. Natsume clicked his tongue in annoyance and looked away.

"Shut up, permy," he snapped.

"Tsk tsk, N'tsume. Don't be like that… it's not nice to do that to a girl…" chuckled Natsumi as he approached Sumire.

"Deeply sorry for my brother's bad behavior, mademoiselle (miss)," said Natsumi as he bowed a little at her. Sumire eyes glittered in happiness. It was too good to be true… She blushed deeply.

BANG!

The door slid open revealed a certain auburn girl… she was breathing fast; clearly shown that she had been running to class.

"Gomenasai, sensei!!" cried Mikan Sakura as she bowed continuously at the teacher.

"Mikan!" called Natsumi… and now all eyes darted to both of them.

"Eh? Mikan-chan… you know him?" asked Ruka in amazement.

"Yes! And… Natsumi…" she called out to the raven haired boy. "I didn't know we are going to be in the same class!" she chirped as she approached him. Jealousy aura started to burn in all the girl's soul as Natsumi and Mikan was talking happily. At a certain corner, Natsume Hyuuga was shocked to see how cheerful and friendly their conversation was. For he, Natsume Hyuuga, was known to be a fiend of the auburn. To let his brother to talk so nicely to her, it spoiled his reputation. 'Damn it!'

But then, he noticed something else too. 'Why does Ruka staring at my brother with that dangerous look??'

Prince Ruka Nogi (refer chapter 2), Master of Pheromone Alice… was fuming silently as he stared darkly at Natsumi. He bit his lips as he saw how natural Mikan could talk happily to the boy. As jealousy burst into his soul… he now had decided… even though Natsume was his best friend and that boy was Natsume's brother… it doesn't make that Natsumi was his best friend too… so, it was not wrong if he decided to hate him… Ruka don't mind if it was Natsume who Mikan talked to or liked… but if it was other guys…

'Back off, mister!'

TBC!

OK. I have to admit that the last part is really OOC. But I wanna make this story with: NatsumeXRukaXNatsumiXMikan… so, again with the 'square love' thingy… three guys with Mikan… It has been a while since I make a story where Ruka actually involve with the love quadrangles. So, I decided to make it here. However, I want to make the Hyuuga twins to have a serious fight soon... muahahhaa... evil me...
