Order 11: Hijiri Youichi

"How could you?" I managed to choke out, the fact that Yumi isn't in love with Anna—which was supposed to be, makes my stomach flip, do somersaults then push my bile up the throat. That seaweed haired woman who's so over Hyuuga is—don't make me say it… because I can't say it. And I won't dare say it.

"Sakura?" he called out, finally his support team's behind him, looking directly at me. "Sakura?" he repeated again, I saw Hyuuga opening his mouth, he was about to say something but I cut him.

"I'm not deaf Yumi," I spat out angrily before standing up, I began to walk towards the door when I felt two hands grab both of my arms—left and right. I turned around glaring, "what?" I hissed venomously. To my surprise it was Hyuuga and Yumi, both faces unreadable, I almost laughed at their reactions.

Hyuuga was the first one who spoke, "where do you think you are going?" his voice vibrated throughout the shop, eyes pierced mine as I stared back.

"that would be none of your—" I didn't finish my sentence because Hyuuga jerked me rather forcefully towards him, so here I am, face to face, chest to chest and breath to breath with him; In front of Shujuns and his friend. Plus, of course his: over protective best friend who's glaring at me right now, burning a hole right through me.

"I think it is my business, little girl." He hissed at me, now I'm wondering why I kissed this man in the first place yesterday. I gave him the sweetest smile before jerking his arm away, and moving a pace away from him.

"I'm just gonna find a new Shujun," I ran towards the door, I know that he didn't actually care about what I said, he will never be moved. I stopped—where am I? In the middle of the forest, where else? Why is it so cold?

Why am I feeling so cold?

"You're 15 minutes late—Sakura," Persona's ice cold voice filled her ears, "I told you 7:00, care to explain why you're late?" he faced her the cold atmosphere turned colder when he faced her frail figure, almost being eaten by the darkness, she raised her eyes to level it with his covered ones, she once tried to remove it, his mask, out of curiosity of course.

"At least I'm here, right?" she snapped rather angrily, she looked around and then stared at Persona, "where the hell is Hiirigazawa? The nerve of him to tell me to come here sharply—"

"I'm right here, you idiot," came a snap, she turned her head left to right until she saw Persona shaking his head, her eyes narrowed, probably he's trying not to laugh out loud. She glared at him hard. "Why are you—?"

Rui jumped down beside her, blew right into her ear (like the way Natsume would do to her), she immediately jumped away from him and held her ear rather indignantly. "What the fuck, Rui?!" she rubbed her ear then pouted, "why did you do that?! How dare you, you BAFOON!"

"You weren't paying attention, baka. You could've have sensed me already when you arrived here, but then you made a fool of yourself—right in front of me and Persona." He said casually, with a known smirk.

She gave him a sharp glare enough to go through him before walking towards him, her aura, overwhelming everybody around her. "You—dare—say—that—again—and—you'll—never—live—anymore—or—see—the—sun—shine—ever—again." Every pause was accompanied by a poke on his chest; he laughed at her little threat then ruffled her hair with a smile.

"I'd like to see you try," and with that he walked towards Persona, leaving her in the midst of the darkness.

"COME BACK YOU IDIOT!!!" she screamed then ran after him—the fastest pace she could muster.

"Where are we heading to, Rui?" she asked, eyes busily poring over the mass buildings and skyscrapers outside the car she was in, she noticed that they were near the sea, the moon shone brightly overhead, the sea reflecting its almost blurred figure. "Hiirigazawa-I'm talking to you in case you don't friggin' know!"

Rui snapped his head towards her then chuckled, "You and your loud mouth. You're lucky were inside a car or else probably some AAO goons would've heard us."

She growled at him then placed her attention back to the road. "We're going to the airport." He answered, Mikan smirked knowingly, she knows Rui very well, and he just couldn't resist her.

"Why, where did this, 'Little Prince of Japan' stay? It must've been real far. Since he's traveling here by plane." She said to herself.

"Actually—he came from Hokkaido. He's hiding there somewhere, since—as you've known assassination threats are on him."

"Then… why aren't the government officials helping?" I asked him, it was quite confusing for her anyways.

"There must have been and some alliance between some anti-government and the officials. You may never know whose lying."

"Why the little kid, Why not The Prime Minister himself?" she paused, "if assassination attempts were on him then it would be much easier."

"It's because Hijiri Youichi-san has an Alice… we all know that everyone without Alice wants us as badly as we want to get rid of this-Foolishness."

She gave Rui a wry smile; she perfectly knows that Rui doesn't like Alices. "Cheer up, you buffoon. You're lucky to have one."

"Don't. Call. Me. that. Sakura." He snapped at her, flashing her one of his deadly glares.

"Oh puh-lease Rui, like that would do anything." She waved he hand dismissively as she closed her eyes. 'When I get home… I'm gonna sleep.'

She and Rui had been standing by the lobby of the airport for about 15 minutes. Talk about being early. She mentally rolled her eyes and tapped her right foot impatiently on the beautifully polished marble floor of the airport. Rui's hand was busy with his cell phone, making Mikan growl.

"Why are you growling there?" he asked her quietly, though few people are in the lobby. But all of them noticed their Uniforms. Alices, Mikan heard one of them whisper.

"They're whispering about us, in case you don't know." She stated as if it was obvious.

"Well, they're not idiots, besides they know that we're one of the agents so nobody would try to get near us only to have a broken leg and probably a destroyed circulatory system."

"But what if—." She was about to speak, when he walked towards her, almost closing the distance and placing his finger over her mouth.

"Cant you at least try to shut up?" he snapped at her. "Don't you have an 'off button' or what?" she slapped his hand away, but he grabbed it and then yanked her towards him. "Behave, will you?" she was about to punch him when a cough was heard from her behind. And it was a very familiar one.

"Good evening, Imai, and company." Rui's onyx eyes were simply placed on the said woman, since Mikan's nose picked up the scent of Lacoste's touch of pink.

She turned her head around and saw the familiar faces of her everyday life. Hyuuga and company. She twisted her hand and walked away. Rich talk. She thought.

"Oi, get back here." Rui commanded her, she turned around and quietly walked towards him, and she hates this group, very much. She met their eyes but then looked away. "He's about to come." He whispered.

"Why are they here?" she whispered back, the strange feeling of being in the oven made her look at Natsume, "oh… I think I know."

"Baka." He said hitting her on the head. She frowned; Rui doesn't like to give her special attention whenever somebody's around. Why would he do that?

She glanced around, several suspicious men were already eyeing them, and so it means that they know.

"Looks like we've company Rui." She motioned to the man sitting by the lounges; Natsume's eyes were still on her, as she noticed of course.

"Do you want me to alert the back up team?" he said quietly, there was sarcasm in his voice, she smirked.

"Stop teasing me, I can handle them single handedly."

"In case you don't notice, all of them—in here are a part of this so called—trap." She gave him a weird look.

"Really?" she challenged.

"You're not very observant. You know what the plan is right?"

She nodded earnestly, "well… when he steps in, you know what to do, I'm going to Persona for a w—"

"Oh no you don't!" she didn't mean to say it aloud and grab his arm, but it happened, her eyes were very wide. "You can't possibly leave me here—alone!" it was desperate, by the sound of it.

"You're such a baby," he threw his arm away then walked away from her.

"Fuck you." She hissed darkly. She glanced at the group then raised her eyebrows. "You're perfect legs might get too tired, why don't you sit down for a while?" she motioned them towards the black couch by her side. "Well?"

"As I've known, you follow our orders, not the other way around." Ruka spoke rather harshly. The Shujuns cracked a smile, even Hotaru mind you.

Mental note: keep your mouth shut. But she didn't snap. She turned her head and saw Rui with a girl. If it isn't the little spoiled brat of a sister Rui has. She was screaming at him at the top of her lungs and she's going to be Youichi's little fiancée, as the news have reported.

"Mikan-onee-san's here?" at this point the whole group stared at her then at the little kid. She looks almost like Rui, from head to toe but her hair was the one that's different.

"Yes, you really shouldn't be here." At five she's already matured, Rui knows that very well.

"But my fiance's here." She argued back, as she walked towards the black couch where Mikan was. She beamed at her. "What are you doing here?"

"Well," Mikan drawled, "I'm here to fetch your fiancé too."

"Really, but…why?" the kid asked

"I—" Rui tapped her on the shoulder making her turn around.

"Best to keep quiet, they're here."

"Who's here—?"

He nodded at her before glancing at the main entrance of the passengers of the plane, since it was private, there will only be probably ten guards and the Mr. Youichi. The two of them walked back towards the group, Mikan talked to Miya while Rui talked to the others.

The sound of plastic wheels, loud clicking of shoes inside the quiet lobby, made everybody look up. "Miya, if something happens, go to her ok?" Mikan pointed to Hotaru who was smirking at her. Miya raised her eyebrows.

"Can I trust her?"

"Believe me, you will. I do and he does too." She gave her a smile before walking away. She glanced at them, avoiding Natsume and Ruka's stares.

"What will they do if something happens?"

"They're back up." He stated simple. Mikan gasped at him

"I thought Shujuns aren't allowed to do missions."

"This one's different." He said. "Well?" he offered his hand but she raised her eyebrows, telling him, 'what the fuck are you doing?' "Fine."

"I'm bored. Let it begin." The glass doors slid open and 11 pairs of feet went inside the lobby—including the Hijiri Youichi. He was tall for his age, eyes bright jade in color, and his hair like Natsume's were sticking up in an untidy way, but his was silvery white in color, he was wearing polo, a vest on top of it and black ironed pants. He looked very elegant. Natsume smirked at him and he returned it back, Miya energetically ran towards him but Hotaru gripped on her shoulder hard.

"They didn't follow the plan," Rui muttered angrily. "Who did this, getting him right here?"

"H-He's Y-Youichi?" she managed to speak up, after getting rid of the lump in her throat, the little kid is probably ten years old, and he's already that gorgeous—no, extra ordinary, for her he is far more handsome than his narcissistic cousin, Hyuuga Natsume.

"Yeah, now be attentive, idiot." He snapped at her. They're getting near him."

She nodded, at the same time a man charged towards Youichi, five men followed to block Mikan, and she smirked. One easy job.

Mikan jumped up into the air, seeing Youichi in the middle of his body guards, she already knows he's gonna be safe. She stepped on the shoulder of the first man she saw and landed in the middle of the so called bad guys.

"a pleasant evening, Hijiri Youichi-san, I will be your personal guard of the night," she hit the first man she came in contact with on the face before turning around to face him and bowing down. "Hajimemashite!" another man tried to get through; she quickly disarmed him, twisted his rather large arm and threw him down. She glanced at her back and to her disgust, saw that he was gone.

"Damn!" she released her anger towards three other men. "Rui! A guy took him away! Goddammit find him!"

She immediately ran towards where Rui was, who was also busy with some people, plus Natsume and the others who are busy too.

"Fuck! They took him! They planned this goddamned thing, we need to find them." she stated to him, hands bruising his own arms. Natsume growled at her as he walked.

"Why did you lose him? You're really an idiot aren't you!" his glare was on her, her amber eyes widened and then narrowed.

"Hey! I didn't notice in case you don't know!" she snapped back angrily, "in case you didn't notice—my ass was busy out there trying to protect your cousin!"

"Then where is he now?" he snapped back at her.

"W-well…" she stopped then stared at the main exit. "I-I don't know of course!" she stared at Rui, mouthing 'what are we gonna do?' he shrugged at her then motioned Miya to go back to the car.

"Mikan, where's You-chan?" Miya asked her, onyx eyes full of curiosity. She stared at her and her eyes dropped, I need to find him.

"I don't know—but…I promise I'll look for him!" she smiled at her and ran towards the door. I promise!

'Ok… if you were a kidnapper, where would you take him?' she thought while running very fast, 'somewhere where there are a lot of people? Of course not! Youichi is very popular; even one strand of hair, people would know him that easily. Crap! Where?!' she made a sharp turn towards the dead end of the road. She cursed, avoice made her snap out of her thoughts.

"oi… where are you? Damn! Answer me you stupid maid!" it didn't come from her earpiece…it came from—her ring. The Hyuuga crest.

"And why did you call, my dear master," sarcasm dripped at the end of her sentence and she heard a growl at the end of the line or whatever you call it.

"Do I have to repeat myself?" he snapped back, she can hear the rustling of the leaves and his footsteps cracking twigs beneath his shoes.

"yes, I'm afraid so, I think I've gone deaf a while ago…" she jumped up on a tree then scanned the whole vicinity, the forest trees were a big distraction to her eyesight but nevertheless she saw what she wants to see: she spotted him, probably a hundred meters away walking to be exact, followed by 2 Audi cars, one would be Rui and Persona's and probably the other one's for the whole pack, and the Audi's were followed by a single limousine. She didn't see Rui, but her intuition told her that he is still inside one of the cars.

"Then why did you hear my question about repeating the first question?" she heard a smirk coming from the other end, she scowled.

"Where are you?" he repeated once again, it was a very hard tone. As if an order but not close enough.

That would be—" she fell back against the tree a bullet missed her, and some of her hair strands were floating in the air, she stared at them wide eyed. They saw her—or must've heard her talking.

"Fuck!" she jumped down, heard several running footsteps away from her and followed them, another shot rang, but missed her completely. She gave out a mocking laugh before producing one gun; it came from her holster, placed by her left thigh and began shooting.

'Talk about night vision goggles.' She rolled her eyes and searched, there was the guard who was with Youichi she smirked and fired, Hijiri Youichi's scream was heard.

"Found him!" the sound of Mikan's quite cheerful voice made Rui look up from his laptop, and the same reaction from all the trackers. Natsume's eyes flared dangerously. She told Rui first—not caring about her shujun at all.

"Everything alright?" he asked.

"I think I accidentally shot the kid." She mumbled uncertainly. Natsume, Hotaru, Ruka and Rui's eyes twitched heavily. "and they managed to shoot me. Pretty clean anyways, I was just kidding. I mean about the Hijiri-san. He just over reacted when I fired."

"You have a gun?"

"Yeah, you gave it to me." She paused, "a year ago?"

"Location?"

"Hyuuga's little ring has a tracker on it, you'd be able to find me, as easy as that." Hotaru stared at Natsume and he scowled. She motioned him to come to her and remove the earring. He obediently removed it and gave it to her.

Hotaru's hands quickly made their way to her laptop and began typing words, code and passwords, then she smirked. "Northwest near the bay, possibly 700 meters away and is getting further from us, direction she's going: east, towards the pier."

Rui nodded and gave an order, "we'll wait by the bay."

"Are you deaf?! Her direction is towards the pier, not the other way around." Ruka snapped at him, "Don't act high and mighty here, Hiirigazawa."

He gave Ruka a cold smile, "then this proves that you still don't know who Sakura Mikan really is." He turned his attention back to the laptop and grimaced. "Mikan has the tendency of playing games, she lures them and pulls them into a trap, and if you say right she goes the other way around. She tends to make everything complicated." He paused and stared at Natsume, "didn't you know that?" Hotaru cracked a smile and Natsume's lips curled.

"Shut up—asshole." He hissed, venom pouring out. Rui smirked and clicked the last button, and placed his earphones in his ear.

"Ne, ne, ne, Rui! Have you seen that gown? They said when we grow up I'm going to wear that!" a little girl's voice filled his ears as he smiled at the screen.

"Why?"

"Because we're getting married silly!" and that giggle was heard again.

"Why me?"

"Because you know me very well Rui!"

This game is already getting on her nerves, she managed to kill probably 17 people in her last count, and she suspected that the man who has Youichi has doppelganger Alice. She growled, "You know—dickhead if you don't get out right now, I'll make sure that your sorry ass will never be seen by your mother." She moved cautiously and held her gun tighter. "Stop being a chicken and fight me like a man!"

"But the problem is missy… you're not a man." The said person moved out of the darkness and she stared at him. She was sure that he was the guard awhile ago. She held the gun up and gave him a sly grin. "Where's the kid?"

"And why would I tell you? That's for me to know and for you to find out right?" he smirked and raised his own gun. He moved towards her she kept her guard, then she saw it—or him, another man holding the said crown prince she made a quick kick into the air which missed then bolted towards the direction of the person holding Youichi. But she felt a hand digging into her skin.

"Arrrgh!" she fell down and the man slapped her gun away. "Fuck—"

"nu-uh! Didn't your parents teach you not to say any curse words?" Mikan rolled around and pushed herself off the ground, after regaining her balance she threw her ice daggers towards him, hitting his hand in the process. He groaned in pain and she smirked, the smell of blood filled the air, it hit his palm, too bad. She turned around but felt it, it stung, and she was shot. She fell down and groaned.

"I won't let you ruin our mission." The sound of something being pulled was heard; she attempted to stand up but was kicked downwards by the man she just pinned against the tree.

"You should've just stayed there, with your shujun—with your commandant."

"And what am I a sissy?" she laughed heartily and crawled away, at a distance she tried to stand up, which she managed to do, the bullet was somewhere by her back and she is already growing numb.

"Well… you're a girl, too young, surely you wouldn't want to die right now, ne?" he smirked and raised his hand, probably, if she wasn't dizzy, she would've counted all the clones, but in her estimation, probably about twenty more.

"Take care of her, just catch up later." And he fled.

"Dick." She sneered, but then regretted it; it seems that that word was the password, for them to take their guns out. "Oh brother."

A round of shots were heard by the whole group as they went out of the car, Mikan's scream was also heard. Koko stared at the birds, which are flying away already; they stared into the dark forest.

"So… does this mean were splitting?" he asked casually.

"Well, obviously yes, Koko." Hotaru snapped. She made her way towards the thick forest, "coming, Rui-san?"

Rui stared at her. "yes." And he walked with her.

The remaining people decided who would pair up, and followed suit.

She panted heavily, after managing to get several scratches and wounds which she couldn't heal anymore she saw another person, plus the dickhead awhile ago, who was a dickhead still, and beside them was Youichi, he was by the tree eyes fixed on the grass, a masked man walked in front of her catching her off guard but nonetheless she grabbed him, twisted his neck and threw him on the ground. She released a sigh and glanced at the boy again. He was just there ignoring the two men; they were probably waiting for their lift. It was about time that she acts.

She moved out of the darkness and hid behind the tree when the red head man turned around, 'he can sense me easily.' She thought, heaving a quick breath out. She stared again at Hijiri Yuichi and smiled to herself. Now…

After probably 15 minutes of fighting with Mouri Reo (since she found out who he really was while they fought.) she managed to grab Youichi and ran back into the heart of the forest, getting several nasty remarks form the kid saying that this is a stupid plan and so on. She ignored him and mentally told herself that he really is Hyuuga's little cousin.

"oi! Hag! Where are we going?!"

"Unlike your dear cousin, you're a talkative one," she muttered darkly, glancing at him over her shoulder. He scowled at her and grabbed a fistful of her hair.

"Ouch! You know, you are going to get us killed! Here I am giving effort to jump from one tree to another, carrying a rather heavy burden by my back and all I wish for you to do is to shut up and just hold on! Whereas all you do there is to annoy me to hell!" she winced, she can feel a sprain by her foot, she accidentally landed on the wrong part of the tree.

"I'm a shujun—"

"The hell I care!" she snapped back, she landed down rather gracefully and sighed. She placed Youichi against the tree she saw and sat down beside him, groaning, "We need to stay here, I need some rest." She examined herself, wounds, bruises and abrasions filled her body, and Subaru's going to reprimand her later when she arrives back at the school. She pulled out her handkerchief and like in many of those movies she watched, ripped it apart and wrapped it around the most bleeding part.

"Why?"

"Because," she stated matter of fact, "I have wounds and I can't heal myself since my energy's drained, so all we've got to do is call Rui or your cousin." She tapped her earpiece and began speaking. "Shit, no answer." She mentally groaned and placed her lips on top of the Hyuuga Crest.

"Oi, Hyuuga!"

"…"

Why isn't luck on her side today? Damn!

"So… what're we gonna don now?" The kid pied up once again.

"Don't you have an off button or something?!" she angrily snapped turning her head towards him. The kid pulled himself closer to the tree and faked a whimper.

"Keep quiet or else—" too late she felt the cold barrel of the gun by her temple.

"Took us quite a long time to follow you, heh." The voice was unfamiliar but sent chills down to her bones; Hijiri Youichi pulled himself—if possible closer to the tree he was leaning on.

"Youichi," she muttered quietly, eyes fixed on the boy, "run."

And there goes the little kid running for his life, Mikan moved her right leg probably a hundred and eighty degrees hitting the man's ankle making him fall down and also the gun. She grabbed it and aimed it at him.

"Well, look who's laughing right now." With one quick movement she pulled the trigger.

"I think I heard a gun, did you Natsume?" He turned to his companion who made a snort as if saying, 'I have ears, Ruka.' "Do you think, that vile woman is there?"

Natsume replied with a shrug as he jumped up his feet landed gracefully onto the branch as he looked down at Ruka, who was incapable or should I say inexperienced in climbing trees.

"Probably, come to think of it, that woman, as you've said has a violent tendency; I do hope Hiirigazawa doesn't know that."

"Jealous, huh?" he muttered running all of a sudden.

"Why are you running?" he asked.

"Well, based on my instincts," he stopped a bit only to look at him, ocean blue eyes twinkling as his blonde hair fell down almost covering his eyes. "The sound came from--there," he pointed towards his north and mumbled something, "at the very least some of the birds say that they heard it…"

"Whatever Ruka, let's hurry up, my cousin might be in trouble, since he's with her."

Just then a faint voice from Natsume's earring began to speak, and it wasn't Mikan's, it was Hotaru's.

"12 o' clock Hyuuga. 12 miles, capable of going there?"

"hn."

"Hijiri-san?! Hey you little kid, answer me right now!" she was losing her composure, where could that kid be? For god's sake! "HIJIRI!" she knows that she's too careless about this rash decision of screaming through the forest. "HIJIRI!" she ran faster feeling that somebody was following her. "Damn! If you want me get the hell out of your hiding place!" a sudden punch came from nowhere hitting her straight on the face, a loud 'ouch' vibrated through the trees as she fell down and hit the tree bark.

"You're so easy to detect, screaming like a mad woman, such an idiot."

She sat up, groaning as she held the back of her neck. "First of all, I'm not a mad woman, second of all—" her amber eyes turned to slits were looking at him. "What I do is none of your business." Jumping up and kicking him by his stomach, which he immediately blocked, to Mikan's disgust. She swung the other leg around hitting him now by the face and making him drop down on the ground. She walked away but then the said man grabbed her ankle and pulled her down.

"OMAE!" her face fell flat on the ground and felt his hand go up to her hair as he pulled her head up, déjà vu…

"Where's the kid?" he hissed.

"You're one big idiot aren't you? All muscles and no brains at all! I was screaming because I was looking for him! I lost him you Oaf!" she turned around sharply and wriggled her arms out after succeeding she threw another punch and made a run for it.

Only one thing is in her mind…

Hijiri…

Hijiri Youichi walked an aimless path, "damned bitch who ordered me to walk…where the hell am I supposed to go?!" he threw his arms upward in frustration then kicked a pebble on the way, the pebble hit the tree and hit his forehead. "Ow…"

"HIJIRI?!" a faint scream reached his ears and footsteps made their way towards where he is. "S-Sakura..." he started to follow her voice; he moved faster tripping one time on an exposed root. "SAKURA!" he stopped, where, where, where?!

This felt so—bad, he has a lot of friends, bodyguards to keep him busy, maids to boss around, kids to bully around. But in the middle of this dark goddamned forest, he felt so alone and helpless, without Natsume and without Miya. Now that Sakura girl is his only hope—if ever she comes. He closed his eyes and laid down on the cold ground, what if they found him first? What'll he do?

"Hijiri-san!" he felt warm hands grab his tiny shoulders and shake him awake, "Oi, Hijiri! Hey—I'm gonna lose my job if you… Hijiri! Wake up! Oi." Every word was accompanied with a jerk on the shoulder or a slap on the face, what's with this girl? Damn she has a tendency of becoming violent.

"be careful you idiot," he muttered hoarsely as he opened his emerald eyes to look at her, he saw her bloody face, nipped lip and messy hair, but it was her eyes that caught his attention, her eyes were almost filled with hot tears.

"What happened—your forehead…it's bleeding." She swallowed, "are you—alright?"

"Well, I'm still alive right?" he muttered darkly.

"But… well your cousin wouldn't be pleased and so will be my boss." She pulled him up to examine him, "did you fall, kid?"

"I'm ten, stop calling me a kid." He hissed.

"And I'm seventeen still called a little girl." She flashed him a smile. "We need to get going. We'd better find your cousin or Imai at the very least." She kneeled in front of him, back facing Youichi.

"What're you--?"

"Just climb, this'll be much easier."

"Fine."

He climbed up to her back and clutched her blazer tightly, "we aren't gonna go up… don't worry were just gonna run." She took a step forward then prepared herself to run.

She had been running for about two minutes and she was pretty sure that the little kid on her back was already fast asleep. She looked up, stars filled the sky and the moon was overlooking them. She sighed; she was hoping that this incident will be finished already. She is already damned tired and sleepy, her eyes began to droop and when she was about to close her eyes, a figure appeared in front of her, she immediately moved sideways, avoiding the dagger sent towards her, at her sudden movement Youichi's eyes opened and caught sight of the man in front of them, it was his bodyguard, the one who pulled him out of the mess awhile ago… the one involved in AAO.

Mikan placed Youichi down and moved into a fighting stance. "Don't you ever grow tired of getting ass kicked?!" she pulled her own daggers and threw it directly at him, which he easily dodged. "Youichi stay behind the tree don't—Argh!" a dagger hit the bark of the tree missing her heart, now it began to bleed.

"Asshole."

He grinned and began throwing like hell, she couldn't dodge them anymore, and she allowed herself to get hit.

"Sakura!"

"I said get behind the tree!" the moment she turned her head she saw it, it was going directly towards him, she ran arriving in front of him in a millisecond, she enveloped him in a hug, and let herself get hit. The pain shot throughout her body, she doesn't even know why she is playing hero in this mission.

"Daijoubu?" she mouthed eyeing him.

He nodded amused that she can still talk. "Do me a favor, pull it out." He stared at her. "Just kidding, now be a good kid and stay behind the—" another shower of daggers were given she couldn't breathe, she's gonna die, what kind of human is this person?! She watched him from the corner of her eye, a wild look in his eyes, and a crazy grin on his face. She smirked and snapped her fingers; at the very least she still has a bit of energy to do this.

In an instant bamboo shoots went through the man's body piercing him midair. She smirked, "yokata."

She awoke and groaned loudly as she tried to turn her body around, but failed rather miserably, letting her head get buried once again into the fluffy pillow. She inhaled the scent and her eyes opened, the same mint-y smell was clinging onto the pillows… could this be…?

"Stop moving will you?" it was a snap; she closed her eyes as she felt him poking into a wound.

"You have a late reaction, Hyuuga." She murmured. She tightened the grip onto the bed covers as another strangles moan escaped her lips, "can't you be gentler there?"

He growled, "What's with the Hyuuga? Didn't I order you to—?" she cut him off easily. "Whatever, what happened…? I mean awhile ago."

He stopped prying into her wounds and sat down at the edge of the bed. She made an effort to push herself up but ended up face flat on the pillows. "What the fuck?!"

"You collapsed, right in front of me and Ruka, we found you in front of Youichi… don't you remember?"

"If I do then I wouldn't have asked you right?" she mumbled quietly, "that asshole…"

"Did you cause that?" he asked all of a sudden.

"Cause what?"

"bamboo." He answered with a grunt; she heard the door open and Nogi Ruka's voice filled the air.

"Here's the needle and the hot water—oh and the thread. I'll be attending to Youichi." Just then she felt him hover over her body. Touching her thigh lightly, she had a feeling that a dagger ran through that part but not really through. He applied pressure onto the wound, "Fuck Ruka, he didn't bring ice."

She inhaled sharply, "why didn't you just send me to the hospital, healing Alice work better Hyuuga." She felt the needle sink through her skin and her eyes bulged out, her grip onto the pillow tightened as she released a strangled moan.

He sighed and continued his work tediously. His hand gently rubbed the finished part.

"How many more deep cuts?" she asked hoarsely.

"Two more, the others are quite shallow. Ruka attended to it already awhile ago." The word Ruka went out of his mouth, she pushed herself up.

"Nogi?"

"Who else."

He pushed her back towards the pillows and began to do the other wounds. After sometime, after hearing him place the scissors inside the bowl to sterilize t she pushed herself up again.

She bit her lip and faced him; she managed to take note that she's wearing his clothes which made her eye twitch. "Why—why are—why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?" he asked, eyebrows raised.

She rolled her eyes, "fixing my wounds, dressing me up, bringing me to your room, allowing me here to stay in your bed, being nice to me, why?!" she looked at him eyes boring into his, he gave her one of his light smiles , making her gasp. "Because…"

"Because?"

He leaned close to her almost closing the gap, her mind went blank in an instant, she became so preoccupied, her eyes were staring at him "you wanna know?"

She nodded. "Because…" Damn Hyuuga, why can't he just go straight to the point?

And then and his lips touched hers, "you're my jochu." Afterwards he pulled away, walking towards his door but then stopped to look at her flushed face, never did he ever say a nice thing to her. "Take a bath, I don't like unhygienic girls sleeping on my bed." With that comment she threw a pillow at him but found out that the door was already close and he was already out. She smiled to herself for the very first time. And thought of only one thing…

Maybe…Hyuuga is not that bad at all. She smiled to herself once again and began walking to his bathroom.
