" I never thought that there will be a time where I would run away again. My Grandpa always told me that I am a brave kid, and I got this personality from my Mom. I don't how much braveness I've still got, but lately it's flopping. Whenever he's around.."

Flashback

Mikan's P.O.V

"As I hear those words for some reason, it made me uneasy. I didn't know I was that sensitive, but all I was sure was everyone was looking at me- my best friend, my secretary, those peeping guys, and THAT person. I know I shouldn't be anxious because I would just make myself worst. But I shouldn't also be explaining. I know it was disrespectful to talk to a guy in the middle of the night for some awkward reason, because first I'm a Japanese girl in my blooming years, showered with pure chastity and all but here I was caught talking to a guy. And second, he's not just a guy, alright? He's Sakurano Senpai, my respected, popular, smart, and sexy Senpai. Everyone would die to be in my place. But it seems like there's no point of telling these to them.

As I met those crimson eyes, I couldn't for some unexplainable reason get my eyes off from him. It was if I was being judged and I couldn't reason out because It was obviously my fault. Then what should I say? Sorry? Pretend nothing happened then closed the door and sleep? Stupid.

But seriously, I couldn't read those eyes. Am I being hated, or were those actually sadness?"

"Mikan.."

Mikan's P.O.V

"a girl with blank face called my name, and when I was about to look for that voice, that person with crimson eyes started to move to my directions. I don't what's happening but it bothered me and I don't what he'll do to me, he seems aggressive, well he's crazy for Kamisama's sake! I don't know If he will now seriously stab me and take my heart like how he usually threatens me. No way. If I would die here because of cheating to someone I don't even know, then I would rather, elope with Sakurano Senpai!

If I could only stop the time, I would definitely stay in Japan and that I might have prevented myself from reaching this situation."

As the young raven haired boy approached our protagonist, with unbelievable action, the young lass pushed away the approaching lad that made the poor lad fell into his butt, while our poor protagonist struggle and eventually made her way out from her audience and run with all her might.

End of Flashback

"Obviously to a person like me, there's nothing more tiring than running to nowhere. I should've my back up plan, because If not, I wil—

"— be facing your eyes again."

"What?" The raven haired guy asked with mixed worried and pissed look. The young lass who were stopped by pale yet strong arms gasped with unbelievable expression.

"Why did you follow me?" The girl exclaimed

"YOU HURT MY BUTT POLKA DOT." The pissed raven haired guy muttered

Mikan's P.O.V

" Oh... was the only smart thing I was able to deliver. Well, I wasn't really expecting anything, I was just disappointed...Uh, Sorry? What?... I meant WHAT? Did I just said, 'disappointed'? And why the hell? What's happening to me? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I wasn't, it was only a rare malfunction on my hypothalamus. Yeah, that's right, it won't happen again. I am Not Disappointed, okay? I'm just, I'm.. what do you call this, erm.. I am INFACT pissed. He should've stayed there at the floor and tend his butt. And...

DID SHE JUST CALLED ME 'THAT' ? HOW THE HELL HE FIND OUT?"

"You... JERK!" Mikan slapped the confused lad and walked away. But when she was about to turn, she was pulled by Natsume and the two fell.

"Hey.. why you.." Mikan protested

Before Mikan could ever continue, she once again met those eyes, but this time she was now sure of what those eyes meant. Natsume pulled Mikan closer, so close where the two can hear the breathing of each other. And then, Natsume whispered:

"I'm sorry."

"Natsume.." the only thing our worried protagonist uttered. Although it was her first time seeing Natsume acting like this, she was deep inside sure that something like this happened before, but she wasn't sure of it.

"Hey. If you're pulling a joke, I won't forgive you , u know?" Mikan supported to avoid herself from embarrassment if Natsume is pretending.

"I'm sorry for not trusting you.." The guy with crimson eyes mumbled not looking to our now seriously worried protagonist.

"What are you saying Natsume?Look, If you're trying to make me look bad on what I did to you guys, I'm sorry. But pls. quit acting like you're being betrayed and stuff. Natsume, hey look at me." Mikan said and immediately raised Natsume's head to only see the palest and empty face of the man he was scared of.

"Uhh.. Natsume, are you sick or what? Are you okay? Mikan worriedly asked and placed her cold hands on natsume's forehead, checking if he gotten sick.

"It's unfair... pls. don't do that again.." Natsume once mumbled with more weak and serious tone.

"Unfair? What are you saying? I didn't do something unreasonable to cause you like that, stop it." Mikan pleaded, and now more confused than worried. But—

"Please... promise me.. don't talk to him again." Nastume mumbled like a pitiful child, and now much closer to Mikan.

Mikan seeing the pitiful Natsume couldn't help but pulled and embraced the guy. She knew she would regret this later, but she can't help it; she's a fool. Even though she might being prank, she would gladly accept it just to ease the pain she was seeing to the guy she once hated.

"Yes, I won't do that again. I'm sorry." Mikan assured, hoping her words would reach the now lifeless Natsume.

As our worried protagonist gently stroking the head of the raven haired guy, the people who were at the scene were now approaching. Seeing those two being together, unexpectedly closer, understood and left; Reading the atmosphere, they knew they weren't needed. But someone stayed, and dared to interfere.

"It was hundre— ah.. ten years ago, when I saw him acted like that, tho still a child I knew he wasn't someone who could be treated like he was. As a child, he was matured, dependable and trustworthy. No one dared messing with a child like him, because he wasn't what you think. But during his sixth birthday.."

Flashback

At Central Building

"Natsume blow your candle, we're hungry!" The dirty yellow haired kid shouted instructing the raven haired kid to blow his candle so that they could all start to eat. But knowing the birthday boy, he ignored the loud kid and waited for his two best friends to come. Almost fifteen minutes passed but no auburn haired girl and yellow haired guy with stuff bunny came. So the mom of the birthday boy came..

" Darling, Ruka-kun won't be able to come, he fell sick two days ago and his temperature won't still go down. So just proceed to your cake and that everyone can eat and we'll just deliver some to Ruka's Household." The birthday boy's mom explained with assuring smile.

" But, where is she?" The poor kid asked looking for the other precious friend

" I already sent our butler to the Sakura Household, and they said that Yuria won't be able to come because something urgent came. But she sent you a gift, look.." The woman pointed the biggest gift among the hundreds pile of presents, covered in strawberry wrapper, and laced with white frills.

" But—.." The kid mumbled but wasn't able to continue because if he will ask more, he doesn't know If his mom would still stay in her calm posture. "Moms are scary" Natsume thought.

So the poor birthday boy proceeds to the hall, and blow his candles with all his might. After the party, he immediately turned from his costume clothes to his regular attire, and hurriedly run outside their mansion and lifts at his own private carriage. The carriage with an emblem of fire and sculpted of the last name written as Hyuuga, was an eye candy to the townfolks but soon lost their interest after passing the town. The carriage entered into a large gate and stopped in front of a huge mansion. A kid in his sixth year jumped of the carriage but was reprimanded by the coach to not do it again, proceeded immediately at the huge mansion with his most concerned look.

The kid was welcomed with admired look by all 50 staff members of the house, lining up from the main door, and each took their bows, showing respect to the best of friends of their sick young master. The kid being raised up by the same tradition his best friend had, gallantly walked, trying not to lose his posture with worried thoughts, successfully passed the members and was attended until in front of his best friend's room. He was now left alone by the butler, but he couldn't seem to go inside. It seemed like something is preventing him to open the door. Something unusual is bothering him. But as a kid with full respect of his family's dignity and pride, slowly opened the door, without making a noise, stopped and froze.
