Natsume opened his eyes and found himself laying partially on Mikan's body

Natsume opened his eyes and found himself laying partially on Mikan's body. He blushed and slowly moved away from her. Then he just lay near her watching her sleep.
Suddenly it caught his eyes. The sleeves and pant legs of her pajamas were lifted up and he got a good look at her arms and legs. Dark purple bruises cover her entire body. There were several scars on her legs and arms too. Red lines run across her legs and it made Natsume wince because it looked so painful.

He didn't want to disturb Mikan but he was really curious. She turned over and Natsume lifted the back of her shirt. It was even worse than her legs. Natsume opened his mouth lightly in shock and touched her bare back delicately, fearing that he might hurt her. Mikan began to stir.

I rubbed my eyes and sat up. I saw Natsume looking at me with this sad expression on his face. "What's wrong Natsumeee?" I asked.
"Who did this to you?"
Then he lifted the sleeve of my shirt. I opened my mouth in shock. I tried to hide it but I couldn't believe he saw my bruises.

As I tried to answer him, I heard my stepmom's footsteps heading towards my room. "Natsume!" I yelled, turning back to him, who was rubbing my bruises. "You have to get out of here! My mom is coming!"
Natsume looked at me surprised but I opened my window for him to climb out. "Climb down this tree. Goodbye Natsumeee," I said to him with tears in my eyes.

Natsume remained silent the whole time as he left her room. But he didn't leave though. He sat on the branch of her tree and looked through her window. He couldn't hear what Mikan and her mom were talking about but he saw it.
He saw Mikan's mom bring out a small wooden stick and whack Mikan with it several times. Ji Won couldn't take it anymore. He busted back into Mikan's room.

I looked up at my stepmother in pain. "I'm sorry mom. I didn't know we're supposed to have guests today."

She glared at me with cold hatred in her eyes. "Mr. Hyuuga, of the Hyuuga Hotel Empire all over Japan, is coming to visit us. Your father might get a promotion if we make a good impression! You're supposed to be awake half an hour ago to prepare all of us tea! Now Mr. Hyuuga is down there expecting tea! What am I supposed to do now huh?"

My stepmom began to breathe rapidly as her anger increased. I saw her raise that stick of hers again. I curled myself up hoping the pain would lessen but I know it wouldn't so I prepared myself for the strike…

Natsume caught the stick just before it would hit Mikan. Mikan's mother stared at the boy in surprise. Mikan opened her eyes and stared at Natsume in shock. He looked down at her.
"Mikan, are you okay?"

"Natsume!" I screamed. "What are you doing here?"

Natsume looked back at me. "I came to save you from this evil bitch."

My stepmom twisted her face in hate. "I knew you were trouble all this time Mikan. How dare you bring this boy home? Wait until I tell your father about this!" Mikan grabbed my stepmom's arm to stop her.
"You do that and I'll have you fired!"
I stared at the boy dumbfounded. 'What is he talking about?'

"What are you talking about you juvenile delinquent?!" snapped my stepmom.

"I mean," said Natsume glaring at her. "That you're having tea with my father right now and I'll get you and your husband fired if you hit Mikan one more time."
I look at Natsume surprised. 'Natsume is the heir of the Hyuuga Hotel Empire? His family is the richest in all of Japan!'

My stepmom looked at Natsume doubtfully. "If you're his son, then how come you're so filthy?"
Natsume gave her a smirk. "I know you want proof. How about all of us go down there to talk to my dad?"
My stepmom looked at him and thought, 'This is the only way for real evidence. He might get us a promotion.' Then she said, "Come on then, boy. Let's go."

All three of us came downstairs together. Natsume had to help me down because my legs were too weak to support me. Natsume helped me sit on the couch and he faced the strange man before me. Mr. Hyuuga glared at Natsume.

"Hi dad," said Natsume.

"Where the hell have you been Natsume?" shouted Mr. Eun.

My family just watched them yell at each other. Natsume shrugged his shoulders. "Around." It made Mr. Hyuuga really mad but he never hits Natsume. He continued yelling. Natsume didn't really listen and after a while he cut his dad off.
"Look dad, shut up about it already and we'll talk about it at home."

'Dang,' I thought. 'I could never talk to my parents like that.'
Mr. Hyuuga shuts up. "Okay son, we'll talk about it at home."
Then Natsume gestured his hand at my entire family. "The Sakuras were nice enough to let me stay at their house. You owe them dad."
Mr. hyuuga nodded. "Fine. Luna and Narumi, you two just got a raise."

My stepmom got so excited. "Thank you Mr. hyuuga!"

"Come on Natsume," said Mr.hyuuga. "Let's go home and have that talk."
Natsume brushed his dad's hand was his shoulder. "Later dad. I'll be home in an hour." His father glared at him. Natsume glared back. "I said one hour."
Mr.Hyuuga knew Natsume was stubborn. So he agreed. "Fine then. One hour."

After Mr. Hyuuga left Natsume talked to my parents. "Listen here," he said as he sat down next to me. "I can get you hired and fired just like that." And he snapped his fingers.

"We know, we know," said my stepmom sweetly, pouring him some tea.

Natsume didn't drink it. "All I want is for you two to not touch Mikan anymore. If I see another bruise on her, you know the consequences." Natsume held my hand the entire time he spoke with my parents. I felt a strange warmth going through me and I knew that right then and there I was falling in love with Natsume Hyuuga.

My dad remained quiet while my stepmother talked. "Of course Natsume."

Natsume rolled his eyes. "Okay, and I'll make sure you keep your promise." Then he turned to face me. "Come on, let's go."

"What?" I asked confused.

"Go to my house with me."

"Go go!" said my stepmom pushing me towards Natsume. "Have fun kids and stay out as long as you like." I knew my stepmom was really ticked off but she was playing it off pretty well.

Natsume continued holding my hand and never once did he let it go. The walk to his house took us 15 minutes and I was enjoying every minute of it. When we reached his house, he let out a sigh.

"Mikan," he said softly. "Just stay quiet and let me do the talking okay?"
I nodded my head and we entered his house. His house was huge! I felt as though I'm a peasant walking through a castle. He even had a few maids and butlers who attended us.
Natsume led me to his room. It was nice and clean but there were a lot of holes all around his walls. I sat down on his bed as he went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When he was done, he came out and sat next to me, holding my hand. I really am in love.

"Natsumeee, how come your walls have a lot of holes?"

He shrugged his shoulders and I massaged it for him. As he relaxed, he answered me. "Oh, it's cause I fight with my parents a lot so I take it out on the walls." Judging by the holes, I can tell that he was really angry every time he made one.
"Come on," he said. He lifted me up on his back and gave me a piggyback ride downstairs. He smelled so good now that he's clean and fresh.

His dad was waiting for him in the den. I waited outside while Natsume came into face his dad. Natsume came in, uninterested in what his dad had to say. "What is it dad?"

"Natsume, son…this is getting to be very tiring. Every few weeks you would run away, leaving me and your mother worrying about you."

Natsume smirked. "Sure you're worried. That's why you're out with those hoes and mom's out with those morons. It's because I'm your only son. You're just scared that when grandpa passes away he won't put our family on the will."

His father got angry. "Well do you want it to end up on your uncle's side?" Natsume gave his dad a look that showed he didn't care. His dad continued talking. "Since I managed to have a son and my brother have no kids, I have the advantage. Son, listen to me. You know you're my heir. All my wealth will be pass down to you."

Natsume looked at his dad disgusted. "All you care about is money! You don't care about me!" he yelled as he stormed out of the den. Natsume slammed the door open and grabbed my hand.
"Come on, let's go."

I was confused and didn't know what had happened. Natsume held my hand and took me to the beach near his house. On the sand there were these 2 huge rocks. Natsume led me over there. He lifted me up and we sat side by side. We remained silent until Natsume took a deep breath of the ocean air.

"I love this place, don't you?" he said to me smiling.
I returned his smile and held onto his hand tighter. "Natsume, what's wrong?" he avoided my eyes.
"Nothing."
I turned his chin to face me. "Come on, you know you can tell me."
He nodded.

"It's my dad and this stupid feud he has with my uncle. They're fighting over who will get the larger part in my grandpa's will."

"Oh…" I said softly.

"Isn't it stupid?" he asked laughing. "My grandpa's not even dead yet!"

I understood what was bothering him. So I didn't say anything because I know he doesn't want me to worry about it. He threw a rock into the ocean and it skipped three times.
"Perfect," he said.
"Why is it perfect?" I asked.
"Age ain't nothing but a number right?" he asked me, changing the subject. I thought about it for a while and nodded.

Natsume smiled back. "I love you….''

I felt my heart my heart filled with a bubble of love but then Natsume continued talking.."as a sister." My bubble bursted. This was not what I had expected him to say.

I stared at Natsume with wide eyes. I knew it was pretty forward of me but I had to ask. "Y…your….sister?" I managed to stutter out. Natsume looked back at me with his puppyish eyes and smiled. He nodded his head gently. Have I been reading all his signs wrong?

"So what do you say?" he asked. "Want to be my sister?" Even though it was breaking my heart, I had no choice but to agree. I nodded.
"Yes, I want to be your Sister Natsumeee."

"Good," he said.

Natsume nodded and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small silver knife. I stared at him with wide eyes.
"Natsume, what are you going to do with that knife?"
He asked, "Do you trust me Mikan?"
I nodded my head without hesitation. I trusted Natsume with my whole heart. He smiled at me. "Good. Lower the back of your shirt." Natsume pulled the back of my shirt down. Then he used that knife to cut me.
"Ow!" I screamed in pain but he continued anyways. He carved a small 'N' onto my shoulder blade. My back was bleeding and he bandaged it for me.

Then he handed the knife to me. "Here. Engrave your initial 'M' ." My hand trembled as I held the knife. I didn't want to hurt him.
"Go ahead. Don't worry, I can stand the pain."
I engraved an 'M' onto Natsume's back. I was surprised because he didn't let a tear drop or cry out in pain. I bandaged him and he acted as if nothing had happen. When it was over, he held me close.

I held onto Natsume tightly as if he was going to leave me. I know he only thinks of me as his little sister but it feels nice holding him like this.

As Natsume held onto Mikan, his smiling face instantly turned sad. He wanted to say 'Mikan, I love you as a girlfriend' so she would be his forever but he couldn't. He wasn't the type to admit his feelings.
So he figured the scarring was not an engravement of his brotherly love to Mikan, but his promised symbol as a soulmate to her forever…

Years had pass and I'm still with Natsume. I didn't think it was possible but I grew more and more in love with Natsume everyday. We would do a lot of stuff together and we never had any fights. We argue, but it never came to the point where we would get really mad at each other and he usually let me have it my way.

Ruka Pyon was Natsume's other friend and he hangs out with us a lot too. Ruka is a little older than me and is really nice. He has this really cute smile that when he smiles, you can't help but smile back. His family life also isn't good. His dad is a drunk and his mom had passed away when he was young. So usually it was the three of us together.

My home life is a lot better thanks to Natsume. My stepmom didn't dare to touch me anymore and it's still the same between me and my dad. We don't talk much. Natsume's parents like me a lot too. It's because when they tell Natsume to do something and he wouldn't do it. They would come to me. I'm kind of like their pawn. Life was heaven for me until it completely shattered on day.

It started out with good news but who would have known it would end up in tragedy?
