BACK TO STORY:

(SAKURA MANSION, NEXT MORNING 8:00am, YUKA POV)

I heard birds chirping… also felt sunlight upon my face… Wait? Sunlight? Oh no! This must be tomorrow! No, I mean today! It's the big day! The day when Mikan will finally get engaged! GYAYAYAYAYAYHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! I AM SO EXCITED! WHAT SHOULD I DOOOO? MY LITTLE MIKAN GETTING ENGAGED! OH GOD, GRANDCHILDREN! I CANNOT WAIT! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAA~~! I began dancing around. AHEM. Control your emotions Yuka, control! *snoooooooorree* I heard my husband snoring. "YUUKKKIIIIIIII! WAKE UP! TIME TO GET MIKAN READY!" I shouted as I literally dragged him to Mikan's room. I pushed the door to Mikan's room with a bang only to find my daughter- GONE?

Oh no wait! I got it! She's even more excited than me! I knew it! She already went into the bath to get ready! "GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAA~~ MIKAN! I KNEW IT! YOU ARE SUPER EXCITED AS WELL! OOOOOOOOOH YOU ARE SOOO CUNNING!" I screamed as I began banging the door of her bathroom.

*no answer*

*sweat drop*

"Yuka." I turned around as Yuki called out to me. His face was pale. He was holding a note. Shit. I snatched the paper from him.

"I am sorry Mom and Dad; I cannot comply with your wishes… so, bye"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

(SAME MORNING, HYUUGA MANSION, KAORU POV)

It's MORNIIIIIING! WOOOHOOOOO! THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE! THE DAY WHEN MY NA-CHAN IS GOING TO BE ENGAGED! THE DAY WHICH WILL CONFIRM THE ARRIVAL OF MY GRANCHILDREN! YIPPEEEEE!

I ran to Natsume's room. The door was already open; Aoi was standing by my little Natsu-shi's bed. "AOOOIIII! YOU ARE AS EXCITED AS ME AREN'T YOU?" I shouted to my daughter. She sure was looking forward to the marriage too. I wonder why she isn't screaming around like me.

She turned around. A weird and an uncomfortably annoying scene made its way into my eyes. Her face was pale. Natsume's bed was empty. She was holding a note. I snatched the note from her. It read:

"Bye"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

(A LITTLE LATER)

"Uhm... Kaoru chan… it's me Yuka…" Yuka said in the phone.

"Ehehehehehe yes yes, I was expecting your call Yuka chan… ehehehe…" Kaoru answered hesitatingly.

"Actually I called to tell that things are not going as planned… ehehe"

"Eh really? It's the same here… Natsume is suffering from chicken pox... yeah chicken pox… so I am afraid we won't be able to come today… ehehe… it's really unfortunate… hehehe.." Kaoru lied.

"Oh that's bad! I hope he gets well soon! Actually Mikan is also suffereing from food poisoning! Ehehe she was so excited last night that she ate too much! And… I called to cancel the meeting…"

"Oh! That's really bad! Hope she gets well soon too! And maybe… it's a little too … early for their engagement…" Kaoru said. "Can't believe it's ME who is saying such a thing… Damn you Natsume!" she thought.

"Ehehe… I agree with you!" Yuka agreed immediately. "Can't believe I am agreeing!" Yuka thought. "But when the time comes, we will definitely have our children married."

"YEAH! DEFINITELY!" Kaoru replied.

"Ok... Bye then…ehehe."

"Yeah, it's really bad… bye then…" *click*

"I WILL DEFINITELY HUNT YOU DOWN NATSUME! THERE'S NO ESCAPE!" Kaoru thought.

I WILL FIND YOU MIKAN… YOU WILL BE DEFINITELY PUNISHED! Yuka thought.

Done with another chapter!

I decided to include a character introduction… but it turned out to be the summary for the previous chapter … really sorry for that!

Also, this story will be a little slow paced. Please don't mind. Sorry for that too!

Next chapter will finally be about THE Natsume-Mikan encounter. Please stay tuned!

Like it? Hate it? Please please continue to review!... Or else I can't continue! (Reviews are like energy supplement to write new chapters!)
