Mikan's Pov

It's Sunday today, the only day I actually see my mom. She's okay I guess. I mean, I get along with her okay, she spoils me terribly though. But she never actually spends time with me. Dad doesn't spoil me but he tries to spend a lot of time with me. Weird.

Today is when I tell her I'm going to Japan early. The reason we get along ok though is because she usually doesn't like it when I disagree with her. I just hope she'll agree with me.

"Hey Mom!" I shouted towards her while she walked in.

"Oh hi sweetie! What do you need? Would you like some spending money and pedicure? You name it and it's yours."

"I-I want t-to go back home. Back to Japan early." I felt uneasy saying it and hoped for the best. I thought for a bit then added "If that's okay with you because I kind of miss my friends."

"Well, you have plenty of new friends here."

I knew she wouldn't like it. She's trying to convince me to stay the whole time and maybe longer. The real truth why she wants me here is because she thinks I has 'modeling potential' what a load of crap. She wants me to be just like her, and go into the modeling business. I mean come on! She already has me doing modeling lessons. I tried my best but I can't escape them. I mean it's not that I hate modeling. It's just it's not my thing. Ya know?

"Oh well, I'm kinda of homesick and I miss dad and Natsume."

"Natsume? Oh yeah isn't he your boyfriend or something."

"No! He's my step brother!"

She doesn't know anything about Natsume I guess. Nobody really told her anything cause she really didn't care so she couldn't have known. But later on I would find out that be a big mistake. I should have just lied and told her he was my boyfriend. It would have been better for me and him.

"Sorry. Well, what about your new boyfriend, uh…what was his name….."

"Youichi!" I snapped. "And he's not my boyfriend!"

"Yet. But I have a feeling you'll be together soon and if you go back to Japan you would be leaving him."

"Damn this." I growled as I stomped away. What can't she just let me do what I want?

It's my life for god's sake!

Then I did something I'll always regret. I may not be with Natsume anymore but I still feel that longing to be with him. And that guilty feeling. That I cheated on him.

That night I went to a bar with some of the upperclassmen. I was so mad I didn't think straight. I had them order me some drinks. And I drank for the first time. It was horrible but I was so upset it was the only thing that calmed me. I'm 17 but, the upperclassmen covered me. But after that I got drunk and my so-called 'friends' left me outside the bar. I called Yo Chan.

"Hiiiiii Yo-Chan! –Hiccup- I-Hiccup- need a ride home."

"Mikan are you okay?"

I giggled.

"Okay I'm coming to get you. Where are you?"

"I think I'm outside a bar. Hehe. –Hiccup- Oooooo! There's my favorite shopping store!"

Then I hung up.

Luckily, Yo Chan knew right away where I was when I said 'there's my favorite store!'

Youichi's POV

I hope Mikan's okay. She sounded, well, drunk! But she wouldn't drink. Would she? I know she gets really mad at her mom sometimes and she does some crazy stuff but would she do this?

Thank god she told me it was near her favorite shop or else I would have been lost!

I got there soon to find a beautiful girl stumbling around with auburn-colored hair.

"Mikan!"

I ran out of the car. "Mikan!" I shouted again to get her attention. She turned around to face me with a dazzling smile.

"Yo Chan." She giggled and put her arms around my neck. I reacted immediately by pulling her closer by her waist. I swear I didn't mean to do that! I knew she was drunk but I blushed at her actions as well as mine but what she did next really surprised me.

"Yo Chan." She whispered with a pink flush on her face. Yep. She was defiantly drunk. Then she closed her eyes leaning closer and closer to my face. Wait! What! Maybe it was hormones but then I leaned in as she did. It was crazy! But we did it anyways. We kissed. Maybe she was drunk but it kind of made me happy because I loved her and it showed me I might have a chance.

"I like Yo Chan." She said after the kiss while I was holding her waist to keep her from tipping over.

I smiled. So she likes me too. Sometimes when you're drunk the truth comes out. I decided I was gonna ask her out. Now that I knew.

I brought her home and laid her down in her bed. I sat next to the bed just to admire her for a while.

"Natsume. Don't leave me alone." I froze. What did she say? Who's Natsume? Wait. What if he was her boyfriend in Japan or something? No. I shouldn't be so superstitious!

I walked out of her house while her mom thanked me and apologized for her behavior.

Right before I left I asked "When is Mikan leaving?"

"In 2 months." She replied.

"That soon!"

"She wants to go back a month early though because she misses her friends."

"Crap!"

"You better hurry up and ask her."

What! How many people knew I liked Mikan! Even her mom! This was ridiculous!

"Why can't she go early?" I didn't want her to go but I wanted Mikan to be happy and if that's what she wanted it would be okay with me.

"Because she'll leave you behind."

Mikan and I knew that it was a lie because she really wants Mikan to take modeling lessons here.

"What if I went with Mikan early and she could take her lessons there instead. They have a great agency there or so I've heard."

It was a lie. I've never heard of a great modeling agency there but there were some okay ones. I knew my parents would mind though, if I went to Japan. In fact they've been begging me for years to learn some of my heritage there living with my aunt and uncle in Japan. Perfect opportunity. I really have to complement myself on my geniusesness.

"Um, I guess that's okay. But, I leave it to you to make sure she does the modeling!"

It was decided! Mikan's going to be so happy when she find out!

Mikan's POV

I woke up in my room. What was I doing here! Then I remembered the past events.

"Yo Chan." I giggled and I put my arms around him. He blushed while wrapping his arms around my waist. He looked so cute though! "Yo Chan." I whispered with a pink flush on my face as I leaned closer to Yo Chan. I couldn't help myself. He was standing there so innocent and cute. Soon we both we leaning into each other and kissed.

I didn't feel right though. It felt like I was kissing my brother. It should have been Natsume there….. I. Did. Not. Just. Think. That. I'm supposed to be forgetting about him! Plus HE'S my brother. Not Yo Chan. But I can't help myself! When Natsume and I shared our first kiss it just felt right and natural. Opposites attract and, well, me and Youichi are too similar. Natsume and I are different. We are just attracted to each other.

I was embarrassed at the past events though. How was I gonna face Yo Chan now?

I heard a familiar voice downstairs. Yo Chan!

"Crap!" I shouted accidentally outloud.

"I guess that answers your question. That was her just getting up now." My mom said laughing.

Crap! Again! She heard me!

Well, I had to face him someday. Why not now and get it over with? I got dressed with super speed and raced out to find Yo Chan waiting for me. My mom apparently had to leave.

Yo Chan's POV

"Crap!" We heard Mikan yell. I laughed. She's really something else.

Mikan's mom soon informed me she had to leave and to break the news to her. And of course didn't forget to whisper while passing me "Don't forget to ask her." I blushed hard.

"Oh. Hi Yo Chan."

"Good morning Mikan!"

"Um. Listen. I'm really really sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to do that. I was just mad at my mom."

"Don't worry about it! By the way, your mom booked our flight to Japan for Tuesday." She blinked. Trying to process this information.

"What! Wait! Ourflight to Japan. For Tuesday!"

"Yep. I'm going to Japan with you."

"Why?" She asked as she gave me an adorable confused look.

"Because…." This is my chance. I can do this. "…I like you. A lot. And well, I don't want you to leave me."

She laughed. She laughed! What did I do?

"Are you, Hijiri Youichi asking me, Sakura Mikan, out?"

"Um.." I gulped. "Yes. I am." I hope I'm not gonna get turned down.

She laughed again. She was so beautiful when she laughed with her bright white teeth showing as she smiled and her long hair moving as she shook slightly from laughing hard.

"Um, well. I'm flattered. But….."

"But…..What?" I asked. What was wrong?

Out of nowhere I asked "You like that Natsume guy. Don't you?"

"What where did you get that?" She said surprised.

"I heard you say something about him in your sleep after I brought you home."

Mikan's POV
I was surprised that he said that. I like him a lot but not quite as a boyfriend. Yet. I can learn to like him more. To ignore the fact his kisses are kind of 'ew'. Because I know that a part of me really wants to be with him. But then he said I talked about him in my sleep! Damn! I gritted my teeth. What was I gonna say? I probably said something like that I like Natsume in my sleep.

"Uh, well, you see Natsume's my…um….ex, yeah, ex boyfriend." If I said he was my brother Yo Chan would probably ask why I said I liked him. It would be a really awkward situation

"Oh, okay. But you still didn't answer my question."

"What?"

"Will you go out with me?" He said slowly making sure I understood.

He's so sweet I didn't want to turn him down. I like him. I can be with him. I just need to give it a try. Maybe it seems wrong now but I can't be with Natsume, I know that.

"Yes. I'll go out with you." I replied kindly.

Yo Chan suddenly hugged me.

"Yo Chan." I said and slowly returned the hug.

I looked up to him and we smiled at each other. My heart beats nonstop when I'm this close. Maybe this means I really am in love with him. Well, more than I think I am now. I do love him I admit that. But another part of me says we're not meant to be. I feel confuzzeled.

After a day with Yo Chan I went back up into my bedroom.

"Ah. That was fun!" I said to no one in particular.

Then I thought about home. I was going home soon. Should I tell them? After all I haven't emailed them in a long long time. Nah. I'll make it a surprise. They'll be so happy when I come back! I wonder how they've changed. Out of nowhere I started rummaging through my old photographs. I looked at an old picture of me.

"I've changed a little myself. Haven't I? I said to myself again.

I noticed I was less childish now. I mean of course I was still childish! It was one of my best traits! As Natsume said. Now I wear the same cute clothes but with a little bit of an edge to it. A little bit of spice if you know what I mean. Natsume has changed too since we've meant. He used to be such a pervert, well he still kind of is, but he's kinder now, gentler. I remember when we first met.

I was running to my dad's house because I was meeting my step brother. I've never met him before in my life. I was excited to get there. Suddenly, I bumped into someone and fell backwards.

"Stupid! Watch where you're going polka!" A voice called to me. I looked up to see a boy around my age with crimson eyes and wild messy raven colored hair.

"What? Polka? My name's Mikan." I said confused.

"Idiot! How dumb can you get! Don't go flipping your skirt towards a boy you don't even know!"

It took a while to understand what he said. I blew up.

"You perverted bastard!"

"It took you long enough, Polka."

I gritted my teeth. The nerve of this guy! Just walk away Mikan. I started walking away when I heard him call back to me.

"See ya later. Polka." I looked back to see him smirking at me. That bastard! I wanted to wipe that smug look off his face!

I soon got to dad's house after that encounter with that enemy of-of…women! Looking up girl's skirts! Who does he think he is?

"Mikan!" I turned around to see my dad. "Meet your new brother!" I gasped.

"You!" I shouted pointing at him. I couldn't believe my luck. How could this day get any worse!

"Oh. It's you. Polka." He said with that annoying smirk.

"Oh. I see you've already met." Father said.

"Yeah sadly I've already met the perverted idiot."

"Hn."

I laughed. That memory was really special for some reason. I don't really know why but it shows me how Natsume's changed. Natsume always said I was the one that changed him though. Sure Natsume's still a pervert, that's a habit he picked up and news flash he only does that stuff to me just to be annoying, but he's really kind at times.

I came across another photo of all my friends. Everyone was smiling, except for Natsume, who's was doing his signature smirk. Just looking at that made me smile.

"I'm coming home soon." I whispered softly looking at the picture with tenderness in my eyes. I really missed everyone. A lot.

Natsume's POV

Mikan's in America. Why didn't she tell me? Did she know how worried I was or the sleepless nights I've had thinking of her! She's coming back though in 2 months. If she doesn't want to stay in America. What if she doesn't come back? All these fangirls beg me to go out with them saying Mikan's never coming back and now she'll be out of my way. I never believed that. She'll come back. Someday. My heart felt torn. "Mikan. I'm sorry. It was a mistake. Please come back." I whispered knowing she wasn't there but felt as if she could hear him out, wherever she was in America.
