Youichi walked in front of Mikan and the others.
"Let's go already hag." Youichi said emotionless.
"Mou….Don't call me that" Mikan shouted at Youichi then come along.
"Let's go already Nobara-chan. Let's leave this idiot here." Youichi said laughing.
"Youichi-nii matte..Mikan-nee let's go already." Nobara-chan said tagging Mikan along.
"Jan e guys!" Mikan said waving at them being dragged by Youichi.
"Those two are always like that." Hotaru said smiling.
"Hyuuga-kun somehow resembles Youichi isn't it?" Nori said looking at Enma.
"Yeah…" Enma said looking at Nori. "Looks like some boys and girls didn't know that they are cousins hehe." She said having a nervous smile since boys were glaring at Youichi while girls are glaring at Mikan.
Mikan and the others already got home.
"I'm home" Mikan said while leaving her shoes at the tatami mat.
"Okaerinasai Mi-chan!" Narumi said greeting her daughter.
"I see kaa-san is still not here." Mikan said wondering around.
"Oh yes..since your early Mi-chan. Why so early anyway? Narumi said questioning his daughter.
"Oh dad we're going to have a guess today." Mikan said looking at her dad.
"Really? I will make a special dish for today." Narumi said preparing to cook.
"No need dad. We're just going to make our homework activity for today since I have a pair." Mikan said waving her hand to her dad.
"No…Mikan-chan this is the first time you invite a friend. So I will make special dinner for that lovely guess okay? Narumi said patting Mikan on the head.
"Okay…dad..just do what you want." Mikan said smiling. Inside Mikan's head 'That's no lovely guess dad..and let me tell you but I wouldn't first tell since my partner is a boy. Dad is strict when it comes to boys you know.' Mikan thought sweating dropped.
"I'm going to change already dad." Mikan said entering inside her room.
"Okay..I'm going to cook now." Narumi said wearing an apron.
"Home atlast" Mikan said hopping in to her bed.
"I wonder what my dad reaction will be. When he found that it is boy. I'm sure that he is going to scare him away like the other boys who try to court me." Mikan said standing up and changing to her clothes. "That's great then so that jerk will realized that he is nothing but a jerk but Oh I forgot I'm at fault too..Well I'm just going to explain it to dad." Mikan said puffing her cheeks out.
Mikan already wear her house clothes which is a pink tank top and a black shorts. She is still having her pigtails.
"Oh well I guess I'm just going to help dad and wait for Hyuuga." Mikan said going downstairs to help her dad.
On the other hand
Natsume and Ruka were in the Hyuuga mansion. Natsume was fixing himself while Ruka was playing with his bunny.
"Hey Natsume. Do you like Mikan Sakura?" Ruka said looking at Natsume.
Natsume was just drinking his milk when Ruka said that and choke it.
"No…definitely not Ruka. What makes you say that?" Natsume said yelling at Ruka and his face was heating up.
"Nothing. It's just..it seems like you're interested in her. You've never like this to a girl before especially you picked Sakura-san instead of Luna and you didn't do home works." Ruka said looking seriously at Natsume.
"Oh It's just so fun to tease her you know since she's easily annoyed by me you know. And I bet she's angry with me." Natsume said smirking.
"Ohhh…I see." Ruka said smiling at Natsume. 'Maybe he wants to apologize to her.'
Natsume and Ruka go outside then to the garage.
"I'm going now Ruka! How about your homework with Luna?" Natsume said prepaing his BMW car.
"Oh yeah I forgot…I think I'm going now then." Ruka said preparing to leave with his car. "See you tomorrow Natsume, by the way you know where Mikan lives?" Ruka said curious.
"Hnn.. I have sources you know." Natsume said hopping in to his car and drove off.
"Just as I expected to you Natsume." Ruka said smiling and drove off.
It was already 4:30 yet Mikan and Narumi was still not finished and Natsume is still not coming. Mikan decided to just call Natsume and find his number in the directory. She was about to call him when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it dad." Mikan said leaving her dad in the kitchen.
Mikan opened the door and came to see Natsume who was smirking back at her. Mikan widened her eyes and thought "How did he know where my house is?"
Inside Natsume's head
'Wow she's even cuter wearing her normal clothes. Oh she likes strawberries too huh?' Natsume thought smirking.
"Aren't you going to let me in polka dots or should I say Ichigo-kara?" Natsume said smirking.
"Wahhh….How dare peek in my underwear again? You really are a pervert don't you." Mikan said accusing and yelling at him.
"No I'm not you're the one who's pervert here because you're the one who is showing them to me." Natsume said having a big smug on his face.
"KYAAAA….I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU IN!" Mikan said closing the door shut but Narumi stopped her and opened the door.
"Ohhh…why didn't you let our lovely guess in Mikan" Narumi said scoling Mikan.
Narumi looked at the guess and said "Oh our lovely guess is a boy, see?" Narumi said smiling at Mikan then quickly looked back at Natsume.
"WAHHHH…A B-B—BBB-BOY!" Narumi said yelling and quickly looked at Mikan "Mi-chan you said that you don't like boys right..And now you have a boyfriend. I thought I was you first love." Narumi said shaking Mikan and having anime tears.
"No dad my teacher got him paired up with me to make our homework activities." Mikan said explaining to her dad.
Not until Natsume interrupt and said "Good afternoon Mr. Sakura, I'm Natsume, Natsume Hyuuga." Natsume said smiling politely at Narumi.
'How come you can smile like that? That's no use on dad you know' Mikan thought but there was a little bit blush in her cheeks.
"Hyuuga? The one who owned the biggest Hotels and Resorts and CEOs with many big restaurants and etc." Narumi said quite shocked then his expression has changed and quickly grabbed Natsume's hands and shake it continuously. "Nice to meet you Hyuuga-kun. I'm so glad that you are paired up with my daughter." Narumi said smiling at Natsume.
"You didn't tell me that your partner is Hyuuga-san Mi-chan." Narumi said scolding her.
"But dad…….you're supposed to be angry right since he's a boy. And you don't like boys to get close to me right?" Mikan said eyeing her dad suspiciously.
"I think he's a nice guy Mikan." Narumi said smiling.
"Mouuu…he's not nice at all." Mikan said puffing her cheeks out.
"Don't be rude now Mi-chan." Narumi said "Okay don't worry Hyuuga-san you're free to get close to Mikan or even court her."
"Wahhh…dad stop saying that!! It's embarrassing you know. And I DON'T LIKE HIM!" Mikan said frowning and glaring at Natsume.
"Thanks Mr. Sakura. But you're daughter doesn't like me so I'm just going home." Natsume said smirking at Mikan and pretending to leave.
"No Hyuuga-san Mi-chan didn't mean that." Narumi said letting Natsume in. "Now, now Mikan don't be rude. Now escort him upstairs so you could start your homework into your room and Hyuuga-san you're free to have your dinner here. Please make yourself at home." Narumi said smiling.
"Arigatou Mr. Sakura." Natsume smiled back politely.
"I'm just going to cook okay. Now take care of Hyuuga-kun Mi-chan." Narumi said patting Mikan's head who is pouting and quickly go to the kitchen.
Mikan and Natsume so upstairs and entered her room.
"Wow…your room is soo small it's like my bathroom back in my house." Natsume said looking around her room.
"Well excuse me because this is only what we got." Mikan said closing her eyes and looking in the other direction.
"No..I'm just kidding. It's really great." Natsume said laughing.
Mikan's room was decorated with strawberries with a pink color background and the sailings were colored orange. Her bed is orange with many stuff toys in it. She also have anime posters and manga and a personal computer.
Mikan looked at him and amused. 'Wow I didn't know that he can laugh." Mikan thought and laughed too.
"Wow…I didn't know you can laugh too." Mikan said smiling at him.
"Hnn.." Natsume just looked away and cover his face with his bangs because he's blushing.
"You really like anime don't you?" Natsume said looking at the anime stuffs in her room.
"Yeah..I'm an anime fanatic you know. You read mangas too right since I saw you reading manga earlier." Mikan said
"Yeah…So that means you were looking at me than?" Natsum said smirking back
"No I'm not. I'm just interested in the Manga you know." Mikan said crossing her arms.
"Hn…Let's on with the work then." Natsume said.
Mikan get their heart shaped papers and ballpen.
"Okay what questions will we write?" Mikan asked looking at Natsume.
"Well..let's start in "What is love for you." Mikan said writing it in the paper.
Natsume also write it and said "Love is a magic word that would make you feel so right." Natsume said a little bit embarrassed.
Mikan write it down and smiled.
"Well for me "Love is something that you don't expect to come but you expect to feel." Mikan said closing her eyes and smiling.
Natsume write it also down.
"What's the next question then?" Natsume said
"What type of person do you hate?" Mikan said smirking and also writing it down.
"Well the type of person I hate is childish, annoying, dense and an idiot." Natsume said smirking back.
"Well I hate someone who have some nerve to pissed me off, a conceited jerk, annoying, who irritates and tease me a lot." Mikan said. Saying it right in front of Natsume's face.
"hahahhaha.."Mikan said laughing like crazy.
"Why do you always pissed me off anyway?" Mikan said tilting her head into one side.
"Because you're so cute when you're angry." Natsume said and smirked.
Mikan blushed at that and said "stop joking around."
"Yeah too cute for an idiot." Natsume said and pinch her cheeks.
Mikan looked down with her bangs covering her eyes and strangle Natsume.
Mikan puched and kicked but Natsume dodge it all. When Mikan was punching himin the hand…she stepped on something and fell off to the bed with Natsume on top of her.
Mikan widened her eyes so as Natsume. Both of them were blushing and speechless. They continue to stare for minutes while Natsume think 'She looks more beautiful when this close.' He slowly inch his face to her and for that Mikan started panicking not until the door swing open and there was Mikan's mom looking at them with a shocked.
Mikan was startles at it and pushed Natsume off.
"No mom..it's not what you think it is.!" Mikan said waving both of her hands.
Yuka came to hug her child and said "Oh I'm so proud of Mi-chan. You have a handsome boyfriend you got there." Yuka said looking at Natsume.
"Konnichiwa Ms. Sakura." Natsume said and smiled at her.
"No Mom. He's not my boyfriend and we're just partners in our homework. And I just accidentally slipped so we end up in a position like that." Mikan said convincing her Mom.
"Aww…. Oh well make yourself at home Natsume I will be back when dinner is ready." Yuka said leaving both of them.
Mikan slowly looks at Natsume but looked away when Natsume also looked at her.
'What's this feeling I feel soo awkward around him. My heart is beating so fast." Mikan said blushing and putting her hand to her chest.
'Oh my, what got into me just now?" Natsume thought covering his eyes. 'My face is also heating up and I think my heart is going to explode. What is this feeling?"
Mikan finally decided to break the awkward feeling and speak.
"Hey…why so polite to my mother and father. You're even smiling at the." Mikan said eyeing Natsume suspiciously.
"It's just natural to do so." Natsume said emotionless.
"Let's on with the last question." Mikan said as if nothing happened.
"Hnn.." Natsume finally broke out at his strange feeling and looked at Mikan.
"How about who is your first love?" Mikan asked and said "But I still don't have my first love you know." Mikan said puffing her cheeks out.
"Yeah me too.." Natsume said "How about what kind of person will you find your special first love." Natsume said emotionless.
"Yeah you're right that's good I think." Mikan said writing it down.
"Well for me, I want someone who will make me feel so safe and secure, someone who I will trust, he will love me as who I 'am, protect me as if I'm a princess and he's my knight. He will be my inspiration and simple joy." Mikan said having an angelic smile.
Natsume gazed at her for a moment then write it all down.
"Well how about you?" Mikan asked
"Just a simple girl who treats me as who I am not because of my looks, money and wealth. I want a girl who will love me as who I' am." Natsume said smiling.
'Wow he's smiling.' Mikan thought and was mesmerized by Natsume smiling.
"I hope you will find that girl someday Hyuuga." Mikan said flashing a smile at him.
'She's coming this way already I think.' Natsume said and smirked. "Can you please stop calling me Hyuuga, Hyuuga here, Hyuuga this, Hyuuga that, just call me Natsume." Natsume said and grinned.
"Oh right Natsume." Mikan said and smiled. "He's not a bad guy after all. Maybe this is his way of saying sorry,"
Natsume just blushed when Mikan called him by his name.
"And you will be……" Natsume said then "Polka dots…." Natsume said smirked and laughing.
"Mouuu your so mean….!!!" Mikan said and yelled at him.
"Hey anyway…why do you act so different to others when it comes to school anyway?" Natsume said emotionless but curious.
"Well it's my protection you know..so they will continue to respect me and they will not know my weakness." Mikan said a little bit sad "You see back in elementary I have many friends back there except for Hotau and the others but one time I heard them gossiping about me on how foolish I am and they are just using me so the teacher will not reprimand them. S o I decided to put on my mask since and now then." Mikan said smiling a sad smile.
"Don't worry I'll protect you." Natsume said and smiled. "You know it is nice to see you just to be yourself like when you're around me."
Mikan was taken back at his words. It's the first time a guy ever told her something like that and it feels so right.
"Yeah you're right. Maybe little by little I will show my real self to the others too." Mikan said and giving him a big smile.
"You know I apologized for my actions earlier since I slapped you so hard." Mikan said bowing to Natsume.
"You know you're the first girl who ever slapped me and pick a fight on me you know." Natsume said pinching Mikan's cheeks.
"Owww..that hurts you know." Mikan said holding her cheek.
"Okay I apologize too." Natsume whispered.
"You're so kind after all." Mikan said patting his head.
"No I'm not." Natsume fight back.
"You're an angel Natsume hahahhaa.."Mikan said laughing.
"Hnn…just say what you want ichigo-kara." Natsume said smirking.
"Hmmphhh.." Mikan said and both of them just laugh.
Yuka came upstairs and opened Mikan's door. She smiled at seeing them laughing. "Maybe this Natsume guy will help Mikan to be true to herself." Yuka thought and smiled.
"Hey Mi-chan it's already time for dinner." Yuka said
"Hai..Mom." Mikan said "Come on, Natsume. Have dinner with us it's the least I can do to say thank you." Mikan said and smiled.
Natsume was mesmerized by Mikan's smile and quickly hide his blush. "Hnn.."
Mikan and Nastume already got downstairs and together with Yuka they go the dining room.
"Here's a special dish made by me for Mikan's boyfriend." Narumi said preparing the cheesy carbonara, macaroni creamy soup and strawberry cheesecake with orane pulp juices.
"Sorry for bothering you to made these dishes to me." Natsume said
"Oh..You see it's the first time Mikan invite a friend besides Hotaru." Narumi said smiling at him.
"Let's now eat shall we." Yuka said preparing to eat.
"ITADAKIMASU!" All of them said.
"Wow it really is delicious. You really are a good cook Mr. Sakura." Natsume said amazed by its taste. 'I envy polka since she have a happy family like this. At home we have lots of foods there but when I eat it seems that the foods are very cold but they are quite expensive and high class. It's because both my parents are always busy but I'm still since sometimes Mom cooked for me too.." Natsume said looking at the laughing Mikan.
"It's a pleasure to receive a compliment from you Hyuuga-san." Narumi said scratching his head.
"Here Natsume have some strawberry cake." Yuka said slicing a cake for him. "It's Mikan's favorite you know. Since childhood she likes strawberries." Yuka said smiling.
"Really? We're the same. Strawberries are my favorite too." Natsume said smirking at Mikan.
"Mou…Pervert." Mikan said puffing out her cheeks.
"Whatever." Natsume said then began finishing his food.
Everybody already finished eating so it was also about time for Natsume to leave since the time is already 8:30PM.
"I guess this is goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Sakura." Natsume said bowing down to them.
"Please come and visit again okay." Narumi said smiling at Natsume.
"Sure I guess." Natsume smirked at Mikan while she just shrugged. "And also thanks for the great dinner." Natsume said.
"Thanks..It's also a pleasure to meet the heir of Hyuuga. After all I can see that you're a good guy and I think Mikan likes you too." Narumi said chuckling.
"Yes I like you as my friend too." Mikan said flashing him a smile. "We're friends now okay."
"Whatever Polka dots." Natsume said smirking.
"Hey Mikan why don't you accompany Hyuuga to the gate?" Yuka said
"Awww Do I have tooo..??" Mikan said pouting but seeing her Mom's scary expression she said "Oh alright."
"Come on Polka, accompany me." Natsume said more like ordering her to do so.
Mikan accompanied Natsume to reached the gate and now it's time for Natsume to leave.
"See you tomorrow Natsume. And thanks a lot." Mikan said having her charming smile.
"Yeah.." Natsume said and smirked.
Natsume was already walking to go home but he looked back when he saw that Mikan is calling and running towards him. She was saying like "Natsume your homework paper!" Mikan said while runnin
When she was only a meter away to Natsume, she tripped. Mikan was expecting to fall on the ground but there were strong arms who hugged her so she wouldn't fall.
Natsume saw that Mikan tripped and was about to fall so he quickly catch her by hugging her.
Mikan was quite shocked about this and looked up at Natsume.
Mikan's POV
'Oh my I didn't know that Natsume was this good looking and his eyes were totally crimson red and I can see something in it but I don't what it is . It feels so warm in his hug. I feel so safe and protected. What is this feeling?'Mikan said blushing as she felt a spark in her body.' Mikan thought staring at Natsume.
Natsume's POV
'Polka dots sure is clumsy but she is really cute and having her this close to me feels so right. She also has this big brown hazel eyes with full of expressions and her hair is totally golden brown. Her slender body is just so right to be in my arms.' Natsume thought also staring at Mikan.
Normal POV
Natsume and Mikan continue staring at each other until both of them realized their position and both looked away with red faces.
Mikan broked the silence and handed Natsume his paper work.
"Thanks again." Mikan said and quickly run to go home.
Natsume was just staring at her retreating form and and also retreat back with a smile on his face.
