"Wow. Hyuuga's mega rich…"

Mikan's head was circling every corner of the Hyuuga mansion. It was spacious, and well furnished. Elegant paintings, marble vases, wooden carved furniture and what not. It made her feel so…

"Like it? Well, you're cleaning it…" Natsume grinned maliciously at her. His red eyes, piercing at her, with that mischievous glint, and the way he looks at her with lust. It made her tremble in fear. What is he going to do to her?

"Wait, I'm going to clean this?? Don't you have any maids?" Mikan asked, she avoided eye contact, Natsume's stare is unbearable...looking from the back of her head, she can see Natsume licking his lips…she can feel it…he wants something from her, and she won't give it!

"Uh…yeah, so why don't we come to my roo-"

"Heck no! Rules say you cannot order me with your malicious ways!" Mikan screamed, jumping back, and away from the red eyed pervert. But it was a big mistake. She was cornered. His right hand, trapping her, while his left caressing her pinkish cheeks. He nuzzled his nose on her neck, smelling her...

"Strawberries…" He thought. Mikan was so shocked at first, but she pushed him back.

"Easy…I'm not going to do anything to you…yet." Mikan glared at him with the scariest face she can get, but it just worsened it.

"You look cute like that, babe" Natsume whipered. "Now follow me to my room. That's an order." Mikan reluctantly followed keeping distance to him. She gaped at every sight she passes. Finally, the room most unique to them all. His room…

His room was…was…messy. He expects her to clean a room, twice the size of her own. His room was so messy, pig sites are even more spic and span than his. Her jaw dropped at the site. Natsume laid in his bed and signaled her to clean.

Mikan began picking his things on the floor.

"Uh…what is this?? His week old lunch...uh." she carried on with picking stuff from the floor. Some were just plain disgusting.

"Is this a condo-Ew!!!!!!" Mikan mental screamed. While Natsume, was busy thinking about his maid. Eyeing her and her body. How could he never notice that beautiful shine in her face and figure? He would trade anything just to get a taste of her…but the owner of that face won't approve to it.

"Uh! I have a hard time resisting pinning her to a nearest flat surface! I need to be careful…she scares easily…I have to be gentle…" Natsume clenched his fists. He was about to control his raging hormones, when Mikan suddenly tripped and fell on the floor, lying helplessly, her long skirt showing more of her skin. He can't take it…

Mikan was not dense, and she can feel something strange going on with Natsume… She quickly got up and pulled her skirt down. She carried on cleaning, hoping that Natsume didn't see it. But, miracles seldom happen. Mikan can't bear it. Natsume's heavy stare is suffocating her.

"What are you looking at?" Mikan was pissed.

"You." Natsume frankly said. She blushed and looked away.

"Listen, you overly sexually active beast! I-"

"Mikan, that hurt…"

"It doesn't, because it's true! You'd pounce on anything moving, pervert!" Mikan shouted at the top of her lungs. Natsume sighed. He walked towards her, held her hand tightly so she can't escape. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, his breath making her tingly on the inside.

"That's not true…I'd pounce on something moving…if that was you…" Natsume said, his voice being sensual and all. Mikan's face cannot be expressed, so she kicked Natsume in the shin and crawled away from him.

"Ow! That hurt!" Natsume said, wincing from Mikan's kick.

"You deserved it!"

"I was only joking! No more Mr. Nice guy! I order you to sleep over in my house!"

"Wha?"

"Please? You did kick me…"

"Stop making me feel guilty! It was your fault!" Mikan pouted. Natsume knew the guilt trip he was giving wasn't working, so he kneeled. The great Natsume Hyuuga, every girl's wet dream, is begging for a mere Mikan Sakura attention. Mikan heaved a sigh. She was a push over.

"…Where do I sleep?"

"The same bed where I'm going to." Natsume smirked, but vanished when Mikan gave him a grimace.

"I was only kidding…jeez. You're going to grow old alone if you keep up with that." He stated. Mikan rolled her eyes and followed him. The Hyuuga's guest room was so elegant you wouldn't think it was only for the guests. It was elegant, but it was dark too…It made Mikan feel a bit uncomfortable inside.

"Natsume, what kind of room is this???" Mikan asked, her voice trembling from the sight she sees.

"Oh? Room's not renovated yet. Since you didn't want to sleep in my room , I'd figure, you'd want to sleep here" Natsume said. Mikan can trace that he had a hidden objective to why he wanted her to sleep here. But what? Her train of thoughts was broken when, she remembered something.

"I can't sleep here! I don't have any clothes to wear, and I don't have my toothbrush, my-" Natsume placed his finger to her mouth, silencing her.

"I got it all prepared. Don't underestimate Natsume Hyuuga. And before you say anything, I already called you mom. She's fine with it." Mikan pouted. Even her mother was manipulated by Hotaru.

"So, what am I wearing?"

"A bunny suit…."

"What?" Mikan asked, glaring a hole at Natsume.

"Nothing, I was only thinking of something! I already had your clothes packed. It would be good for a week. It's in the closet"

"When do you plan on letting me go?" she asked, obviously irritated.

"Not until you're begging to me to stay." He said, earning him a kick from Mikan.

"Hmph! And I'll make every possible way to keep you out of this room until the sun rises again!" Mikan said, pushing him off the door. Mikan locked it, pulled any furniture she move, and placed it in the door, so that no raven colored hair boy will enter her room.

"I'd do anything to make you mine. No one can ever resist my charm." Natsume stated, outing his hands on his pocket and walked toward his room, which waas only 2 rooms away from Mikan's.

Later that night, Mikan stared at the window. Her mind concentrating on what's bothering her.

"Natsume…does he really like me? I can't say if I do like him…What If I don't? Will I end up hurting another one again?" Mikan glanced at her reflection. She remembered herself a few months ago. She did like Natsume before. But who wouldn't? Afterall, he was really good looking. But Natsume never did give her a second thought. She was always invisible to him. And that crush faded long ago. She knows she doesn't like him anymore…does she?

"What if I don't like him? Will I be forced to see that sight again? When I turned him down…I don't want Natsume to feel that…I have to…" Mikan's thought came to a halt when she heard noises.

..

The noises were giving her goosebumps…And the eerie place wasn't helping her realx at all. She tried to close her eyes and sleep. But she keeps thinking that there was someone in the room, watching her…and…and…she can't take it! She finally burst when she felt a breeze…a cold breeze.

"That's it! I'm out!!!!" Mikan screamed, tossing the furniture away. She walked quickly to Natsume's room, glancing to her back to see if there was someone there. She hastened her pace when she saw something white floating feet away from her. She ran fast. As quickly as she can to Natsume's room.

Before we see proceed to Mikan, let's check why there was paranormal actions in Mikan's room. Out from the Hyuuga mansion stands a girl. Said girl was known as the terror to the majority. She was terror and mischief in human form. But she was the best friend of Mikan. It was…

"Imai. Imai Hotaru does it again. Making Mikan go out with this Hyuuga kid was my best money making scheme ever." Hotaru said, packing up her inventions. Hotaru may seem that she was using Mikan, but deep down, she has true intention. She loves Mikan as her sister, and she anted her to be happy. She won't be always with her anymore…and she needs somebody to accompany Mikan…

"Hyuuga, protect her for me." Hotaru whispered. "And you owe , me 90,000 yen for staying up late this night.

Now that we know she was the one who made the paranormal events, let's go back to Mikan.

"Natsume! Natsume!!! Open this door!! Hurry!" Mikan cried, banging her fists on his door. Natsume opened the door half asleep, he was topless, showing more of his skin. Mikan blushed at the sight of him.

"Like what you see?" Natsume asked, snaking his arms on Mikan's waists. Suddenly, Natsume's voice became huskier than before. Mikan was too scared that her body was so weak she can't push Natsume away.

"I…Don't think of this in another way, but I'm scared…can I please sleep in your room? I can sleep in the living roo- You have a living room in you bed room?" Mikan asked, amused. Natsume didn't answer her question, hugging Mikan from her back, letting her slim body feel his warmth. Mikan can feel Natsume's breathe hitch.

"You can sleep in my bed. I'll take the couch." Natsume said, winking at Mikan. Mikan was willing to idea, and insist that she sleep in the couch, but Natsume was persistent. Mikan eventually gave up and slept in his bed.

"Good night-"

"Beautiful" he said. Mikan heard him even if it was soft, and it made a smile crept in her face.

"His bed smells just like him…I might sleep well tonight…" Mikan's final thoughts as she doze to dream land.

Next morning, every one who has an ear wished they didn't have one.

"Ahhhhhhh! What the heck are you doing here???" Mikan said, pointing an accusing finger at Natsume. She found that him sleeping in the same bed she was. She checked it her clothes was still on. And it was.

"What did you do to me???" Mikan screamed. Natsume covered his ears in hopes that it won't bleed.

"Didn't you remember?"

"Remember what??? The vile things that-"

"Shut up and listen. You asked me to sleep with you."

"I asked you to what??"

"That's what I thought too…but you said you feel so lonely alone in my big bed, so you asked me to sleep with you."

"Oh…"

"Then you dozed off. You look so peaceful when you sleep…" Natsume said, getting up from the bed, revealing his well toned body. Mikan looked away to hide her shades of red in her face.

"-and tempting." He added. Mikan's blush turned into raged, and she threw anything she can get hold of at Natsume.

"I was-" He explained, but Mikan threw pillows.

"-only" he said again, but Mikan threw the sheets.

"kidding!" He shouted, but Mikan threw a lamp. Natsume skillfully dodged it, but it hit a slight strand in his hair.

"Get away from me you, pervert!" Mikan shouted, picking up a chair and throwing it at him.

"It wasn't my fault you were so tempting, Panda!" Natsume said, with a slight curve froming in his lips.

"What did you say??? Did you saw my…"

"Yeah, you should try wearing more mature underwear next time."

"Get away from me!!!"

Yup. Everyone who has ears was sorry they ever had it. Because of Mikan's deafening scream. After their argument, and Mikan's service to Natsume in feeding him, he ordered her to get dressed.

"Huh?" She asked.

"I said get dressed." Natsume ordered.

"Why may I ask?" Mikan said, her voice full of annoyance. Natsume rolled his eyes. Her stubborn attitude can get tiring at times.

"It's a surprise. I'll go tot my room and you get dressed, got it?" Natsume asked, and Mikan obediently followed. Natsume smirked. He has a plan to make Mikan all his.

"Perfect."

Mikan being the organized girl she is, was finish getting ready before Natsume did. And the consequences, she had to wait for him. And patience is not one of her virtues. What's even worse is that one of Natsume's friends was going to see Natsume, and she was assigned to entertain him.

"Great. I'll meet another one of him." Sarcasm was language she was fluent with. She tapped her foot, a sign of impatience. Finally, a knock from the door.

"Mikan whined, as she was expecting another obnoxious brat to annoy the heck out of her. To her surprise, she saw a blonde boy, his sweet smile and ocean blue orbs. He had a sincere face, which left Mikan staring at him.

"Is there something on my face?" He asked. Mikan snapped out and went to reality again. She shook her head and bowed down in respect.

"Irrachimashte!" Mikan said. She smiled the cutest smile, a sweet and innocent face shown in her. The blonde boy nodded and blushed at the same time. In spite of the book worm style she has, he feels kind of…attracted to her.

"I'm Nogi Ruka, and you are?"

"Sakura Mikan! Natsume is just getting ready, in the mean time, why don't you wait in his living room?"

"Sure." Ruka smiled as Mikan trailed of mumbling why Natsume has a living room in his bed room while she only has a fraction of his room. Ruka can't help but look at her amusedly and smiled at her expressions. Mikan went to Natsume's refrigerator and took the juice. Natsume has an instructed her to give his friend something to drink.

"Ruka-san, here's you're-woooaahhh" Mikan tripped at the carpet, dropping the juice and the glass, making a crashing noise in the process. She was supposed to land in the hard floor, but Ruka caught her in time, but felt somewhat an easy.

"This girl may seem she has a flat chest, but I can fell something soft…leaning on my chest…and it's arousing…" he thought. He held Mikan, hugging her and carrying away from the broken glass, blushing as the 'soft' part would always crush in his chest.

"Thank you, but would you let go of me now?" Mikan said. She pushed his body away from hers, but Ruka froze and didn't pay any attetntion. He was caught in her chocolate, sweet eyes. Is he…in love with her?

"Hello???? Let me go!!!" Mikan screamed. Natsume heard the commotion from his bath room, and he was nearly finished dressing. When he opened the door, his eyes widen at the scene. He saw his best friend, holding the girl he is crazy about, and Mikan was struggling to get away from him but can't, and he saw broken glasses in his carpet.

Natsume narrowed his eyes.

"What just happened??" he asked.

"Natsume! I…uh.." Ruka snapped back to reality. He saw Mikan desperately trying to break free from him, and he saw Natsume and his raging eyes. He know Natsume. He was getting jealous. And nobody likes it when he gets jealous.

"Panda! Get off him now." He ordred. Mikan jumped in fear and pushed Ruka away.

"Wait, Natsume, don't jump to conclusions."

"Start explaining."
