Natsume slowly opened his eyes and softly groaned. He suddenly remembered his mission today. He was about to get out of bed when he felt a warm body press against him. Looking down, he almost face palmed himself. How could he have forgotten about her?

Smirking, he decided to lie down on the bed again and catch up on some sleep after checking his clock beside the bed. 'It's only five in the morning. Might as well continue to sleep' he thought as he yawned, closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep whilst hugging Mikan.

A few hours later, Mikan woke up and opened her eyes, only for them to be met by the sun's powerful rays. Softly grunting, she turned around to see a bare chest next to her, name Natsume's. She then, finally realised that Natsume was sleeping with her, lay frozen in the bed, in Natsume's arms. As she slowly snapped out of her trance, her eyes widened further. 'What in the earthly mother of oceans…?' she thought, slowly turning her head towards Natsume. When she fully snapped out of her trance, she screamed as she shot up from the bed.

Hearing a scream, Natsume sat up immediately and turned to look at Mikan.

"What the?" he cried, covering his ears. Mikan glared at him and slapped his arm.

"What the WHAT! Why on earth are you sleeping in the same bed me?" shouted Mikan as she started to punch Natsume's chest. Not bothered to dodge anymore of her punches, he slid out of bed and stood up. Mikan stared at him.

Seeing this, Natsume smirked. He put his hands up arrogantly and said, "Like what you see, Polka dots? I'm amazed you can resist such temptation." Mikan rolled her eyes as she got out of bed and walked over to Natsume. Now it was Natsume's turn to stare. Mikan was wearing a tank top and short shorts, all hugged against her body. Though, he was somewhat disappointed that her hair was still tied up. He suddenly saw Mikan raise her eyebrows as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Like what you see, Pervert? I'm amazed you can resist such temptation" she mocked him as she turned around to leave to her room. She was then stopped in her tracks when she felt someone grab her wrist. Turning around, she asked, "What is it, Natsume?"

Natsume stared into her eyes before letting go and replied, "Nothing" and turned around to refresh himself for the day. Shrugging her shoulders, Mikan turned the door knob, opened the door and went to her room to refresh herself for the day.

Natsume bent down and washed his face violently. What the hell did he just do? What's wrong with him all of a sudden?

"I swear I need to be tested to see if I'm crazy" he muttered to himself after he dried his face with a towel. He made his way to the living room after he changed into dark grey button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and denim jeans. He was about to go outside to his balcony when he heard someone knocking on his door.

'Probably Polka' he thought as he went to open the door. When he opened the door, revealing who was waiting outside, he raised an eyebrow.

"Seriously?" he asked the person.

Mikan was refreshed and ready for the day as she stepped out of her bathroom in an, for her, over-sized men's dress shirt which stopped at her mid-thigh, the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, denim shorts (in case any wind was to suddenly arrive out of nowhere) and a black belt around her waist. Sumire and the girls had left her a message two days ago, saying they wanted a girl's day out. And knowing Sumire, Mikan guessed it would be either bowling or hunting for something at the shops. And knowing that it would least likely be bowling, Mikan readied herself to go shopping. After she grabbed her black shoulder/cross body bag, she thought about what type of shoe she should wear. Not bothering to think, she grabbed the pair closest to her- Osage Black Multi Leather high heels. Shrugging, Mikan quickly put them on and headed out the door as she put on her watch on her wrist.

As she closed the door to her room, she saw Natsume talking to someone. Well, he was talking to the person until he saw her coming out of her room. Natsume had stopped his conversation with the person and stared at Mikan. Mikan raised an eyebrow at the person Natsume was talking with as she slowly approached the person.

"Hey Ken. Whatcha doing?" she asked casually as she stood in the middle of Natsume and Daichi. Daichi shrugged and shoved the heavy, long plastic bag looking thing into Natsume's hands before replying.

"I was told to give this to him and wear it for his mission tonight. But this guy won't wear it" stated Daichi. Mikan raised both her eyebrows and stepped closer to Natsume to unzip the plastic bag he was holding his hand, which revealed a charcoal grey suit along with a white slim fit cutaway collar shirt and tie. Taking them out, Mikan grinned and held it up to Natsume, to see how he would look in it. Natsume couldn't help but roll his eyes at her as he waited for her to put down the dang suit and put it back into the bag.

"Alright, alright, that's enough" he said as he opened the bag and waited for Mikan to put it back into the bag. Mikan huffed and carefully put the suit into the bag and zipped it up. As soon as Mikan stepped away from the bag, Natsume nodded, satisfied and was about to walk back into his room when Daichi stopped him.

"By the way" he called out "catch" and with that, he threw a pair of shoes at Natsume, who skilfully caught it.

"What the in the…?" he trailed off, staring at the shoes. "Are you sure that we're doing a mission? Because it seems like we're attending some kind of wedding or some shit" stated Natsume. Daichi shoved his hands into his pockets and turned around as he answered Natsume.

"Yes, we're completing a mission. Just make sure you wear those, or else Sakura will strip you out of your clothes and dress you up herself. And trust me, she will" he said, looking over his shoulder.

Mikan couldn't help but laugh at what Daichi just said. "Alright then, bye Natsume!" she said as she closed the door for Natsume and quickly ran after Daichi.

When she caught up with Daichi, she linked her arm with Daichi's, though he just unlinked them and put his arm around her shoulders and spoke.

"You enjoy acting clueless, don't you" he stated. Mikan raised an eyebrow.

"What on earth could you be talking about, Ken?" she asked innocently. Daichi rolled his eyes.

"You know what I'm talking about. You're the one that assigned that suit for him. Honestly, I come back from my mission to see two suits on my bed- One for Hyuuga and one for me. Seriously, woman, what's with you and people in suits?" asked Daichi. Mikan grinned and wrapped her arm around Daichi's waist and answered.

"It makes them look sexy. Either way, it's also because of the…yeah. It seems that they will be holding some sort of party meet up with other people. And it's the best way for us to go in. It's not like they will have people stop us at the door" she replied, still grinning. Daichi rolled his eyes again.

"Whatever. Come on, you should go and meet up with those friends of yours before you get your head blasted off by Imai for being late" he said. Mikan couldn't help but laugh She didn't even bother to ask him how he knew about her meeting her friends today.

"Alright, bye Ken!" she called out as she jogged her way towards Hotaru's lab.

For the rest of the day, Mikan had a day out with the girls, Hana and Daichi trained while Natsume stayed in his room glaring at the suit (not for the whole day, but you get what I mean). Soon, it was almost time for their mission…

Mikan had come back from her day out with the girls and decided to get ready for her mission. Today was going to be a different kind of mission she's ever had before. She had sent Hana, Daichi and Natsume clothes because she was told that the AAO was holding some sort of event tonight, so she had to quickly pick out clothes she thought would look good on her fellow mission-mates and sent it to them. She could only hope that Natsume will wear it.

She went to get her clothes and lay it down on the bed. She then stood in front of the shower, wondering if she should take a shower or not, because she was sure that she would get dirty again after the mission. Though, since she was wearing such good clothes, she decided to go take a quick shower to refresh herself for the long night. She quickly grabbed a few things and took a shower and took no longer than 10 minutes.

Mikan came out of the steamy bathroom and walked over to her bed and bent down onto the floor, and pulled out a big box. She grunted as she picked up the box and put it on the bed. Taking a deep breath, she opened the box, revealing smaller boxes inside, some holding eye shadows, lip glosses, hair ties, hair straighteners/curlers- everything!

Eying the big box, she then look out a comb and ran it through her long, sort-of-wavy brunette hair a couple of times to undo any knots in her hair. She then grabbed her hairdryer, plugged it in and started to quickly dry her hair here and there, purposely messing it up a bit. When she was done, she quickly put on her clothes and looked into the mirror and let out a small smile.

'I guess it's not so bad' she thought. Mikan then went over to her draw filled with her mission stuff, took out her mask and put it on.

"At times like these, I'm glad this mask doesn't have a string to keep it on my face. Thank goodness for there is such thing as an Alice' Mikan thought to herself jokingly. With one last look in the mirror, Mikan ran a hand through her hair and grabbed her shoes and went out to her balcony after she swallowed a tablet. She also put one extra one in her black purse she was carrying, which also carried her metal rod that was given to her for the mission.

Closing her eyes, she breathed in the fresh air and leaped onto a tree branch and took her usual route that she takes to the Northern forest.

Mikan was making her way to the Northern forest when she saw Natsume also making his way towards the Northern forest.

"Oi, Hyuuga" she called out as she caught up with him. Natsume's eyes widened behind his mask when he saw 'Sakura' quickly jog up to him. He couldn't help but stare at her. She looked amazing. She was wearing a black striped signature stretch 1-button blazer white which was over a fitted long sleeved shirt, with the first couple of buttons undone, tucked into a black high waisted pencil skirt that reached her knees. As Sakura made her way closer to Natsume, he unconsciously took a step back in order to keep his full body view of her. He then looked down at her shoes only to raise an eyebrow at what he saw. (You can search up the stuff on Google).

'High heels again…' he stated. She was wearing Black Crinkle Faux Leather Front Zipper high heels. 'Honestly…how do women wear those?' Natsume wondered to himself. Mikan noticed that Natsume was staring at her feet and she wandered what he found so interesting about her feet, unless he was interesting in shoes… Mikan shook her head and inwardly laughed. No way. That would be least likely. She had to find shoes for Natsume herself, which were Italian leather shoes. She had to admit to herself. She has style.

"You look good" she complemented him. She heard him chuckle. "Don't be so full of yourself. It's only thanks to me that you're able to look as good as you do now" she added.

"Wow, look who's so full of themselves now" commented Natsume. Mikan rolled her eyes.

"Whatever" she said. She then smirked and twirled around and said, "Like what you see?" she playfully asked him. She heard Natsume scoff.

"As if" he said. Mikan laughed.

"I know you were staring at me when I when I was approaching you. No need to deny it, Kuro Neko. It's hard to resist me. Don't worry" she teased him.

She suddenly felt someone glare at her. Turning around, she saw Natsume facing her. Though, unable to see because of the mask covering his face, Mikan was still able to practically feel the glare that Natsume was directing towards her direction. Mikan put her arms up in the air playfully and took one step away from him.

"Alright, we should get going anyway. We're due in less than 10 minutes" announced Mikan before heading off, leaving Natsume to catch up with her.

Persona, Hana and Daichi were waiting for Mikan and Natsume to arrive. Even though they weren't due in about 10 minutes, usually on the day of the mission- well, on missions like these- they are often wanted at least 15 minutes earlier and 5 minutes at the latest.

When Daichi saw two figures approach them, he pointed to them and the two other heads turned towards the direction that he was pointing and rolled their eyes. When they were close enough, Person spoke.

"Glad you finally decided to join us. Mission starts in just over 5 minutes. Sakura's in charge… as usual" he told them as he turned around after nodding at Mikan, mutely telling her to tell them whatever was needed to be told. Returning a nod, Mikan spoke.

"Alright, reason why you're all dressed up is because I received news that the AAO was holding some sort of gathering tonight. So, we might have a better chance of entering the area, as well as going in and getting what we need, as well as see who the AAO could possibly have any connections with, so we can avoid that" she told them. She then continued as she turned around.

"I assume you all have your weapons?" she asked them. She waited for them to all show her their weapons. Daichi and Natsume took out their guns from inside their coats and Hana took out her daggers from under her shoe.

"How the-" Natsume was about ask when he was cut off by Sakura.

"Having an Alice helps a lot. She learns from me" she told him. She then focused back on the rest of the group and spoke.

"The weakest part of the whole association centre is the north wall from what I have seen and-" she was then suddenly cut off by Natsume.

"Hold on, why the North wall? We clearly saw the North wall was the one that had the most guards" said Natsume, frowning. Sakura turned around and faced him.

"Yes, indeed. And the reason why I told you to note every single detail possible, even the worthless ones that we think we probably wouldn't even need. But actually, it comes in handy. The amount doesn't always count. It's always the power within. Those guards are only beginners at the job have no idea on what the heck they're doing. How do we know this? From the things you picked up when we were noting on things- The details on their clothes, of course. Their uniform is different to the ones from on the guards on rest of the building" answered Sakura. Natsume frowned.

"How do you know? The uniforms were the same, weren't they?" he asked, confused.

"No, the guards from the North side of the building have navy lines on the collar. The AAO have black lines for the stronger guards" explained Mikan. "Alright, we've got a mission to do" she added, "We should get going."

Persona nodded and took a step forwards. "Alright, I have… not much to say, actually. Well, I guess… Don't die, and make sure you finish the job. Remember, these people will not hesitate to kill you if they find out who you are. So try and keep low…somehow…" Persona trailed off. "Alright, mission starts now. I expect you back by tomorrow night at most- even though you get three or four extra days." Everyone either: laughed, chuckled or scoffed at what Persona said.

"Alright, go" was all Persona said before disappearing into the night.

"Alright people. Let's go" announced Mikan. "Hold onto me" she added. Natsume stared at her weirdly, not that she would have seen, anyway. Daichi and Hana had already grabbed onto both her shoulders and were waiting for Natsume to hurry up. Shrugging his shoulders, Natsume stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Mikan entwined her hand with his, closed her eyes and concentrated. Seconds later, they were just outside the AAO, balancing on a tree, where they had the greatest view where the front entrance of the AAO was. Already, they could see people entering the place.

"Wow…" Natsume heard Sakura mutter next to him. "I have to admit, they're good" she told them. He then saw her search for something in particular. Before he could ask her what she was looking for, she muttered something.

"Ah…Shit. They have bodyguards" Mikan muttered. She sat down on the tree branch and closed her eyes.

"Great, so…how do we get in, exactly?" questioned Hana. Mikan closed her eyes behind her mask and thought for a moment. She then glanced at Natsume then to Daichi, then to Hana. They were all in the clothes Mikan had given to them. Seeing how good they looked in the outfit she gave them, she couldn't help but praise herself.

"Well, I'll just have to use a little magic, don't I" said Mikan. Natsume saw Hana and Daichi smirk, causing him to be confused.

'What..?' he wandered to himself. He then shrugged. He might as well go along with whatever crap these people are planning.

"Are you out of your fucking minds?" Natsume exclaimed. At the moment, Sakura was getting ready to make her way to the entrance of the event, where the guards were checking who was entering. Daichi leaned up against a tree that was behind him casually. Even though he was wearing his mask, Natsume could feel him rolling his eyes at him.

"Well, Kuro Neko… When you work with people like them" said Daichi, pointing towards Hana and Sakura, "You end up not giving a shit and just go with whatever they've got…that is, unless you have something in mind?" Daichi questioned him. For some reason, Natsume thought that Daichi had raised an eyebrow at him.

Not bothering to bother anymore, Natsume shrugged his shoulders and found his own tree to lean against and watched as Sakura and Hana made some sort of plan to… do whatever is was that they were planning.

Natsume tried to hear what they were saying but he couldn't. They were speaking way too low for his liking. Though, he was able to read their lips…kind of. He narrowed his eyes when he suddenly realised what they were planning to do.

'What the… I swear these people are completely out of their fucking MINDS. They're lunatics' he thought as Sakura and Arakaki made their way over to Nishimura and himself.

"Alright, we've got to get going. But we're going to need you both to help us. I don't care if you'll feel awkward, just do it. Ken, you're with Rose whilst Kuro Neko, lucky you, you're with me" said Sakura as she grabbed Natsume's arm and dragged him to the front gate of the AAO, followed by Hana and Daichi, who were not far behind.

When they were one turn away from entering the long path to walk up to the actual entrance of the event, Sakura stopped in her tracks, which also stopped Natsume in his tracks, which also stopped Hana and Daichi.

"Alright" she started off, "This is where your acting skills will have to kick in. Kuro Neko…Ken, we're going to need you to play along. You should get the hint of what in the hecks we're doing as soon as we take a step on the path" she said. And with that, she proceeded walking and linked her arms with Natsume's, not caring about the people behind her.

Natsume frowned behind his mask and looked back to see Hana and Daichi not following them. He was about to ask Sakura what she was planning, she spoke.

"They're going to enter after us. Now, this is where the business starts…" she said. Natsume stared forward at the three body guards that were eying them as if he and Sakura were carrying bombs. Well, he wasn't, though he wasn't so sure about Sakura.

"What exactly are you-" Natsume started off, only to be cut off by Sakura.

"Just… act as if you're insane with me" she muttered without moving her mouth. Natsume, behind his mask, stared at her as if she had gone insane.

"What the in the f…f...uuu…" Natsume trailed off when he suddenly felt someone pinch his arm. Sakura slightly turned her head to look at him.

"Just do it" she ordered. Natsume raised an eyebrow though, nevertheless, he obeyed her and let his acting skills kick in.

'Now the only thing is to hope that he knows what I meant by act as if you're insane with me' thought Mikan. Her thoughts were answered when Natsume put his arm around her waist. Mikan inwardly thanked whoever created masks because at the moment, she was she was redder than a person that had a sunburn from sun baking in the sun for the whole day under 40˚C.

"Why exactly are we doing this?" Natsume quickly muttered low enough only for her to hear. Mikan wrapped her arms around Natsume's right arm, which was currently around her waist, and hugged onto it, in order to be closer to him.

"You'll have to find out. Just play along" she told him. Whilst eying the body guard that was making his way towards them.

"Tch, whatever, but just to tell you, as surprising as this may be, I still want to live. I have someone I want to return to at the academy. You do something stupid and kill us all, I'll find you- wherever you are. I will find you and make sure you have the worst life EVER, got that?" Natsume threatened her. He could then practically feel Sakura roll her eyes behind her mask.

"Sure thing, Samuel" she said. Natsume raised an eyebrow and stopped walking, stopping Sakura along the way. The bodyguard seemed to stop in his tracks too.

"Samuel?" he asked her as if she had gone insane- scratch that, she had gone insane a long time ago.

"Well, you need a name. My name's Kate. Kate..."

"Beckett" Natsume finished off for her.

"What the fuck? Are you trying to 'CASTLE'? If I'm Kate Beckett, you're Richard Castle" she exclaimed.

"You're the one who came up with the name Kate" spoke Natsume. Mikan rolled her eyes.

"You know what, whatever. Kate Becket, Richard Castle. Ew… that sounds weird. Richard doesn't suit you"

"Tch"

"What names do you prefer?" Sakura asked Natsume.

"I don't know, how about the name 'Max'?"

"Heck no, come up with something better" replied Sakura.

"Ian?"

"No way"

"How about 'Austin' then?" asked Natsume, starting to loose his patience.

"Reminds me of Austin Powers- Scary" she muttered.

"Oh, right. Nasty…" muttered Natsume as Sakura continued to stare at him and crossed her arms across her chest.

"You're not very good with this are you" she stated more that asked.

"No shit there" Natsume shot back. He heard Sakura heave a sigh.

"Fine then, how about… Nathan…Nate. Nate Castle?" she asked him. Natsume shrugged his shoulders.

"You're not so creative yourself" he told her.

"Yes I am! I'm just not bothered for you. Plus, your actual name beings with an 'N' so… yeah, it makes sense. Anyway, let's get going… Nate Castle" she said as she hooked her arms with his as Natsume put his arm around her waist.

"You better now screw things up" she quickly muttered.

"Hah, as if I will, it's you who will be the problem… Kate Beckett" Natsume shot back. Sakura stayed silent for a while before replying.

"Yeah, probably" she muttered. Natsume's eyebrows shot up.

'She actually admitted it… that's just scary' he thought to himself.

"Now, it's all business. As soon as that guard comes up, just act cocky and… actually, just act like yourself, only… insanely in love…with me" she told him. Natsume couldn't help but raised an eyebrow.

"Tch, whatever" he replied as the guard came towards them.

'This is going to be one hell of a mission' both of them thought.
