Chapter 1: Being Me
"Hmmm…" a brunette with a gorgeous face said while stretching her arms.
…what a wonderful day… she thought
She looked at her alarm clock then "whaaat! It's already 7:00 am!... I'll be late!.."
She hurriedly went to the bathroom, took a bath and changed into her school uniform.
When she was all set, she left her room in its chaotic state. She stormed down the stairs with a trail of smoke behind her.
She passed through the living room where she saw her little brother, Youichi along with his nanny, Misaki Harada.
"Where are you going, Mikan-sama?" Misaki asked
"I'll be late! Jin-Jin will surely kill me…" was her answer.
She ran through the gigantic door… "literally ". She forgot to grab the knob and open the door. Add it all up and there she is, having a make out session with the lucky door.Score! the door thought.
Youichi looked at his god-forsaken sister and thought
I truly pity my idiotic sister... while Misaki just shook her head in sympathy.
After some time, she finally broke the kiss with the door and turned to Misaki and Youichi, (she looked as if she was drunk…) "what day is it?" she asked.
(chibi moment)
Youichi walked up to Mikan and said "it's Sunday onee-chan… so I hope you realize that you don't have classes today…"
Mikan looked at Misaki for confirmation… Misaki just nodded then Mikan fell to the ground. (anime style)
When Mikan came back to her senses, she turned to Misaki and asked,
"If it's Sunday… then where are mom and dad?"
"I really miss spending time with them…" she continued
Misaki and Youichi looked at each other then looked away.
"Sorry dear, but they went to work early…" Misaki said with pity
Youichi knew this but even in his young age he didn't really care about the fact that their parents don't have time for them anymore, since he's already contented having his sister and only his sister around.
Mikan was a bit saddened by the news but managed to say "okay then… let's just eat together" trying to sound unaffected.
While eating, Youichi eyed Misaki to do something that would cheer Mikan up.
Knowing that Mikan was upset, Misaki cooked her favorite food for breakfast.
"Wow! My favorite…thanks Misaki-chan"
"You're welcome… now start eating before it gets cold"
"Hai!" she replied with enthusiasm.
eating
"Oh… Mikan-sama, Reo-sama told me that you have to meet him at Grand Star Hotel by 7:00 pm."
"Really? Why?" she asked while gobbling up all the food on her plate.
Youichi saw this and he thought onee-chan really eats like a pig… even when she's upset…
"I don't know…"
"is that so? Okay then…" she said and left the dining table.
But before she exited the dining room she said "thanks again Misaki-chan"
"Oh… it's nothing" Misaki stated with a smile
5:40 pm
"God! What am I gonna wear?" she asked herself
Knock (3x)
"Come in…" our tangerine said without facing the door
"what to wear… what to wear…what to wear…" she said or more like chanting it.
Hotaru Imai our brunette's BFF came after the door. The very first things that greeted her were flying clothes and her friend chanting a spell or something.
(chibi moment)
"What is a baka like you doing? Praying?" she asked mockingly
Mikan stopped (obviously it also stopped the rain of clothes) and thought
Wait a minute… I know that voice…
Then "HOOTTAAARRUUU!" she yelled while running at the speed of light and in her craziest state.
Youichi who was in the next room heard her scream and had the same thoughts as Hotaru ...as usual…
She was about to hug Hotaru when she suddenly came to a stop… Hotaru shot her a don't-you-dare look.
Mikan backed off "uh… hehe…take it easy Hotaru…chill…" she said nervously.
She immediately went back to her own business which was launching clothes into the air after that life threatening experience.
Hotaru… still scary… some things just don't change… she thought
"What're you doing here anyway?" she asked
"Well, i…" Hotaru was cut off.
"You missed me!" Mikan said with much energy
"Idiot! Could you please let me finish and… STOP THROWING ALL THOSE CLOTHES AT ME!" she blurted out.
"Oh… okay, sorry" she said and dropped all the clothes on the floor
"I got B-O-R-E-D." (awww… poor Mikan)
"Wanna shop?" she said with much boredom in her voice.
"so sweet of you Hotaru… but I have an appointment later…"
"a date… who'd want to date you?" she said as evil as can be
…mean Hotaru…
"it's nawt a date… I'll be with mom and dad…"
" ' figures…" Imai whispered
"what?" our little innocent being asked
"nothing... can I stay here for a while then?" Hotaru asked
"oh… sure no prob…" she said as sweet as candy
6:20pm
"bye Youichi… be good…"
"bye, nee-chan…" Youichi replied
"bye Hotaru…" she bid her friend goodbye
"leave…" Hotaru replied cold as ice. She was too absorbed in reading her favorite book , "How To Make People Agree With You" (that's the thing behind her expert blackmailing skills)
"won't you even say "g'bye, take care or good luck"?"
"why would i? now leave… you're disturbing me…"
"ugh!" she yelled and walked away bringing all of the world's frustration along with her.
"let's go, Tsubasa-kun…"
"you all set, Mikan-sama?" Tsubasa Andou, the family driver asked (added info: he's courting Misaki…)
"yeah…" it was a silent trip.
Mikan was pouting while looking out of the window. Tsubasa giggled at the scene. "you know, Mi—" he was cut by Mikan
"DRIVE…" Mikan said… demanded rather.
Whoa! She's got that mood again… I better shut up… he thought
After a very long trip, they finally arrived at the hotel.
"we're here Mikan-sama…" Tsubasa said trying to stay on Mikan's good side.
"oh… thanks for the ride, Tsubasa-kun" Mikan said and flashed him a smile.
Tsubasa was so amazed… more like amused…
Moodswings… huh… he grinned at the thought and drove straight to to parking lot.
While walking around the hotel, Mikan heard her phone ring. She's got a message.
From: Dad
Message: where are you? hurry… don't be late…
She looked at her watch and screamed at the top of her lungs,
"it's 6:55! I've got 5 more minutes!"
She ran as fast as she can but something or someone made her stop.
-BUMP-
They both fell to the ground… butts first.
"ow! " they both said
"Sorry mister…"
Oh god! Why on earth did I add "mister"! Wait… I'm sure he's a guy… he's got that flat and hard chest. I hope it's a guy… I hope it's a guy… she thought
"Are you blind or what!" a raven-haired guy said.
Phew! He's a guy… not to mention handsome… she thought after she heard his voice and saw him clearly, but then what he said finally sank in her mind.
"I said "I'm sorry"!" she said getting pissed of the guy's arrogance.
After his eyes were closed for a long while (coz of pain) he finally opened them and showed his crimson orbs.
He was struck by the very first thing he saw -Mikan's …- but was able to keep his cool. Then he looked at her face and …an angel… he thought
Mikan was still pissed so she got up and walked away… he didn't want to stop her or go after her coz it'll seem like he's a fan boy.
Then an idea suddenly came to his mind…
… that will make her stop… he thought
"Hey, polka dots…"
Mikan stopped on her tracks… that simple word made her stop.
"mind telling me your name?" he continued
Mikan was still absorbed in the polka dots thing.
Then after a brief moment of thinking… she realized something…
Wait… polka dots is my…
Then she suddenly cried for bloody murder.
"You… YOU PERVERTED MORON!"
Then she walked away just like that.
Natsume just smirked. Sweet…he thought… remembering the very nice view a while ago.
FLASHBACK:
He was struck by the very first ting he saw - Mikan's underwear- but he was able to keep his cool.
END OF FLASHBACK:
7:15 pm IN THE RESTAURANT:
God! I'm late… she thought while slowly opening the door of the restaurant. She made sure that she opens the door first coz she certainly doesn't want to have another make out session with a door.
When she finally got to their table, she saw her parents, Reo and Yuka talking to a certain person in black with his face hidden behind a mask.
"mom -pant- dad -pant- sorry I'm -pant- late" she said sincerely
"I had some BUSINESS to settle." she added
"it's okay sweetie… he's not here yet too…" Yuka said
"What…I mean…who are you talking about?" she asked as innocent as ever.
"oh… by the way, we want you to meet Persona…" Reo butted in.
"oh… hi…are you my uncle?"
"no…" Reo answered
"oh my god! Long lost brother?"
"course not…"
"you can't be my grandpa, are you?"
"have some sense Mikan…" her parents said
Persona was getting pissed ...this girl is getting into my nerves… he thought.
(good thing he has a mask…)
"oh… yeah… I get it…" she remarked
At last… the three adults thought
"our new butler?" the adults fell to the ground (anime style)
"still wrong? Okay, one more guess…"she said all of these while eating all sorts of food found on the table.
"no… stop! Don't guess… I'll just tell you…" Reo said hopelessly
"okay… I'll listen…"she said while trying to put the whole roasted chicken in her mouth (chibi moment)
(sorry… she really eats like a pig…)
"he's your future father-in-law…"
"oh… okay…" then after full absorption of information…
"whaaat?" she choked and coughed out all the food she was chewing.
"I said "he's your fiancé's father…" Reo repeated
"fiancé!"
cough
"you okay, sweetie?" Yuka asked
"do I look like I'm okay!" she answered sarcastically
"well… yeah…" the two said in unison
"Ugh! How insensitive can you be!"
"you're pairing me to someone I don't even know!"
"oh… Natsume's nice, smart, rich, good-looking etc." Reo informed her. He was like a salesman selling goods to a doubting customer.
"so you like him?" she said calmly
"yeah…" Reo answered with pride
"then marry him!" she yelled
"I'm walking out!"
"Hey Mikan!" her parents said trying to stop her
I can't do this! she thought while running to the parking lot.
"wow! Giving notice before a walk out… nice one…" Persona commented.
"I like your kid… anyway, let's just wait for Natsume…okay?"
"sure…" the couple answered.
PARKING LOT:
When she got to the parking lot, she realized that she doesn't know where the limo was parked. So she got her phone and called Tsubasa.
"Hello… Tsubasa-kun"
"Mikan-sama?" Tsubasa answered
"pick me up…" she said between sobs
"where are you?" he said, concern evident in his voice.
"p-parking lot…"
"where in –" Tsubasa wasn't able to finish his statement since Mikan's phone was shut off.
He tried calling Mikan a million times, but to no avail.
Ugh! Where is she? he thought while running around the parking lot.
"Mikan-sama! Mikan-sama!" he kept on calling
"Reo-sama will surely kill me if I lose his girl…" while Tsubasa was being driven out of his wits by the thought of getting fired, Mikan was just sitting in one corner, hugging her knees and crying her heart out.
IN THE RESTAURANT:
"we're sorry for how Mikan acted a while ago…" the Sakuras said
"it's okay… Natsume didn't come either." He said monotonously
Then a guy suddenly appeared behind Reo and Yuka.
"whoever told you that I wasn't coming… lied…" the guy said
"you're too late… son…" Persona said while eyeing him.
"so where's the bitch who's lucky enough to be my fiancée?"
Reo and Yuka were fuming with anger.
"I don't like your colorful language, Natsume" Persona said trying to look calm.
"yeah right… so where the hell is she?"
"she left…" the three informed Natsume
"she… she ditched me?" he yelled at them
No one ditches me… he thought
"fine then… I'm leaving…"
"and why is that?" Persona asked his beloved son
"coz my so-called fiancée is gone and there's no point staying here with SENIOR CITIZENS like you…"
"is that enough?" he added
Persona's, Reo's and Yuka's eye twitched. Especially Persona's… he's already been called a grandpa and a butler by her future daughter-in-law and now he was called a senior citizen by his own son…
After that, Natsume barged out of the room.
Hey! We're the ones being ditched here! the adults thought
PARKING LOT:
After almost half an hour of searching… Tsubasa heard someone sobbing…
He went to where the sound came from and there he saw Mikan sobbing in one corner
"Mikan-sama, you alright?"
Mikan looked up and saw Tsubasa. She was so glad of seeing him that she immediately hugged
Tsubasa was shocked by her sudden action. But still hugged her back for he knows that as of the time, what she needed was consolation.
"Tsubasa-kun… Tsubasa-kun…" she kept on saying
"it's okay Mikan… it's okay… 'm just here" he said more like a big brother to Mikan rather than a driver.
"I'll take you home now, okay?" he told Mikan as if she was a little kid.
Mikan just nodded.
IN THE LIMO:
Mikan was so quiet and so was Tsubasa (for the first time, he was actually able to control his big mouth) but concern was visible in his dark blue eyes.
Mikan kept looking out of the window thinking, how could they do this to me? Making me marry a stranger…
It was one of the darkest moments… she was inconsolable…
When they finally arrived at their mansion, Mikan thanked Tsubasa but not as cheerful as before. She was pale as a ghost and her eyes were red from crying.
"anything for you, Mikan-sama"
She entered through the gigantic door slowly coz she wasn't in a mood to get a welcome-home kiss from the door. She passed by the living room where she saw Youichi, he noticed that she was upset so he came up to her and tugged on her dress, "you okay, nee-chan?
"I'm okay…" she said and kissed Youichi's forehead.
After that, she walked towards her room while Youichi did his own business
ROOM:
She was lying on her queen-sized bed when she saw something on her bedside table.
She got up from bed and got the "thing"
"oh… it's a letter from Hotaru…"
She opened it and read it.
Baka,
Check your account on the internet. There's something or someone for you. Thinking how I got it? Let's just say… I have my ways… and why?... well... it,s none of your business.
Hotaru… she thought
She checked her account and saw a certain "flamecaster" was logged in
So this must be the one Hotaru was talking about… she thought then started a conversation with whoever that was.
(Angelinthedark-AID and flamecaster- FC)
AID: hi…
FC?
AID: I said "hi"
FC: whatever…
AID: could you please stop being so stubborn…
FC: so you're my mom now?
AID: you... arrogant freak…
FC: "hn"
AID: don't "hn", "hn" me…
FC:
AID: helloow!
FC:
AID: ugh! Could you please answer…
FC: you're annoying
AID: I won't stop… so c'mon… I need someone to talk to…"
FC: then go get a dog who'll listen to your speech
AID: bleeh!
AID: hey! Hey!
FC: what the hell is your problem! I'm trying to relax here…
Mikan was about to answer "nothing" but she realized… she has a problem.
AID: I… I HATE BEING ME…
She answered and logged out.
The flamecaster was shocked by AID's answer. Now… he was interested. He doesn't know how or why but there was something that made him feel so interested, more like willing to talk to A.I.D.
FC: hey! Wait!
"Damn! She logged out already…" our little neko said cursing A.I.D. for logging out.
