heya! I consider this as my first fanfic so don't be so harsh ok:)

hoping for some reviews. :3

Chapter one

There he was, moving swiftly from tree to tree in the midst of darkness. Though covered by darkness I could still see his perfect face. A raven-haired boy of ten with crimson red eyes that could make anyone who looks at it fall madly in love with him. Kuro Neko, I smiled as I gaze at him from afar. His code name really fits him. Like a black cat, he moves quickly and gracefully while being unnoticed. A fire caster, a special star, an important "tool" in this academy, he is Natsume Hyuuga.

By the way, I'm Mikan Sakura. Yes, the Mikan Sakura. The no-star, the one who always messes up things, the one with the nullification alice. But I work hard. From a clumsy ten-year-old, I have become less accident-prone in a matter of months. I have gradually made my way up to a two-star rank (unbelievable? I know). Hopefully, I can survive here.

I hid by the bush still looking at him. Still in awe that someone as beautiful as him existed. This isn't a dream. And I made sure that it isn't. I pinched myself until it hurts. Yep, I'm not dreaming.

I looked at my watch - 1:00 am. I really wanted to stay up and gaze at his angelic face but if I do, I'll end up being late again. So I decided to go back to my room and get some sleep.

7:00, Morning. My deep slumber was disturbed by the annoying sound of my alarm clock. Still sleepy, I got up and did my morning routine and was off to class in fifteen minutes.

'This is what you get from staying up too late', I mentally said to myself, still unaware of my environment. I was walking too fast to notice that he is in my way. "Ouch!" I said falling after I bumped him, still not realizing that it was him. He got my hand before I fell on the floor, "Tch, watch where you're going." He coldly said while pulling me up. That's when I realized that I bumped into him. "I'm so sorry", I got up immediately not removing my eyes at him. "Hn. Whatever." Was all he said and he took off. I was stopped on my tracks. I felt a cold chill run down my spine as I noticed his eyes. Yes, that dazzling crimson eyes of his. The same eyes that made his fan girls fall for him (but of course it's not only the eyes). But what I saw was different. There was darkness in it. Darkness I couldn't understand. I decided to find out what it is.

I arrived at class and there he was, sitting at the back seat reading his favorite manga with Ruka, his best friend. I did the usual greeting-everyone-in-class routine. I went to him last and greeted him, "Good morning Natsume, I'm sorry about what happened earlier." He just glanced at me for a second and continued reading his manga.

'He's Natsume alright.' I thought with a sigh as I went to my seat.

Class started but I couldn't concentrate. I was preoccupied by his eyes. The darkness I saw. It seems like nobody noticed it. My mind was hurting because of too much thinking. But I can't stop thinking about it. I glance at him every now and then searching for answers. But he kept it well, too well that nobody notices it, too well that it does not show.

I was too busy with my thoughts that I didn't notice that first class was already over. I jumped back to reality as soon as Jin-jin stepped in our class. 'This is going to be hard' I thought to myself.

As expected, I was once again preoccupied with those questions earlier. This is bad. I can't concentrate. Why now? Why in Jin-jin's class? I'm dead.

"aah!" I screamed after being electrocuted by Jin-jin. I was caught off guard. Everyone was looking at me. I felt my face turn warmer by every second. It serves me right.

"That's what you get if you're not listening Miss Sakura" was all Jin-jin said and went back to his lecture. He's evil. Pure evil.
