Chapter 16 – Juliet and Romeo

----------------------------------------------------------------[Mikan's POV]-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I breathe in and out heavily. I'm already on the Hyuuga mansion. I'm starting to have butterflies in my stomach. I can't bare this feeling! I want to go home!!! Just look at me! My hair is up into a bun or something; I don't even know how to describe it. (err, readers, I really don't know how to describe it but just try watching the mv love story by Taylor swift. Mikan's hairstyle is like that ^^ and that also goes for her gown. Sorry, I dunno how to describe it) It was a masquerade ball so we also have to wear masks. Hotaru provided me a white glittery mask for the eyes with some diamonds on it and lines of gold. It matches the dress I was wearing. As for Hotaru, she was wearing a dark purple off-shoulder balloon gown with black raffles on the skirt and the chest. The raffle compliments her curves and the long sleeve which looses at the hand, really shows her slim arms. Her mask was also dark purple with a few rubies on it and some lines of black. She looks really gorgeous. I sighed. If you compare me to Hotaru, I only look like a rubbish rug!!! I'm getting tensed. I can't take this anymore. I slowly tip toed my way out, trying to be sneaky when Hotaru grab hold of my wrist.

"And where do you think you are going?" she flashed me a scary look which is really scary as it was the first time seeing her had that expression other than her usual poker-face. I sweated a lot and laughed nervously.

"I need to go to the toilet?" I smiled hesitantly. I know she'll never buy this excuse. God, I want to go home!

"No. Just go use a plastic bottle or something." came her monotone reply.

"Plastic bottle?! Hotaru are you insane! There is no way I'm going to pee in a plastic bottle!" I protested like a little girl. She hit me with her baka gun then drags me to the entrance and I mean literally. Then the door opened and revealed a wide function hall. Can you believe that?! They actually have a function hall inside their house! I didn't get a chance to see this when I came to visit before.

As we stepped into the room, we managed to capture the crowd's attention. They fixed their eyes on us as they started whispering.

"Oh…look the one in dark purple is Hotaru right? The Hyuuga family's long-lost daughter?"

"Who's that girl with auburn hair?"

"They look gorgeous."

That was what most is saying. I turned my head towards Hotaru who was silently stepping down the staircase showing them her expressionless face. As we reached the final step, someone offered his hand to her. Hotaru took the hand and flash the person a smile. What the?! This scene is very astonishing! It made me want to hang my jaws wide open but I'll only look like a fool.

Who is this masked man that she smiled at?! I stare at him and he seems to notice me.

"Sakura-san?" he asked. How did he know my name? I stare at him some more. He seems really familiar.

"Y-yeah, I'm Mikan." I answered

"Wow, you look great!" he beamed me a smile. Who is this guy? How come he knows my name? Hmmm, well he seems really handsome wearing a dark purple cloth that matches with Hotaru and it also has some raffles on the chest and a purple eye mask with a feather on it. He has a deep ocean blue eyes and silky golden hair. Again, who is this guy? (Try looking for Ciel Phantomhive, that's what his clothes looks like ^^)

"Take off your mask. This idiot doesn't seem to recognize you." Hotaru said to the guy.

"Oh sorry." The guy did what Hotaru told her.

"RUKA?!" I shouted, it was a good thing that it was crowded and noisy, if not; I'll be a laughing stock for tonight's party.

"Hi, I'm glad you finally seem alright." He smiled. So, Ruka is Hotaru's fiancé?! How come he never told me!!! I started to feel left out now. Why didn't he tell me? I frown a bit.

"I'll just go and eat. Go find that bastard." Hotaru whispered to me then she clang into Ruka's arms and walked away. I let out a sigh. How could I possibly find Natsume in this kind of place? He might be the celebrant but still, it will be very difficult to find him.

---------------------------------------------------------[Natsume's POV]----------------------------------------------------------

I scanned the room from left to right. There were tons of people I don't even know. People kept on greeting me advance happy birthday. This is bullshit. I don't even want to have this stupid party, if it weren't for that Persona. What an annoying guy. I can't wait until my father comes home. I'll tell him all about Persona's evil plans and also about that engagement. Speaking of engagement, where the hell is that bitch, which I'm engaged to? Usually at this time she's always the first one to come and great me. Then she'll even smooch me. Arrg. Thinking about her sends chills to my spine. Jee, anyway, as if I care where on earth is she.

I let out a sigh. What a boring party. I then heard the door opened, I lift up my head and looked at the door. There was two girls stepping down, one in dark purple balloon gown and the other one in white with gold lines. Wait, isn't that Hotaru?! And that girl beside her! It's definitely Mikan! I stood up and looked at Persona. He doesn't seem to recognize Mikan which is a good thing because if he does, I don't know what kind of evil thing he will do to her.

"Oh, so it's Hotaru. Maybe your father is also back." Persona commented, his eyes where dancing with glee. I ignored him and stared walking away. He didn't stop me or anything. I continued my way until not too far from here, I saw her. She was talking to Hotaru and Ruka. She seems shock; maybe she just found out that Ruka was her best friend's fiancé. Tsk, typical of her.

I continued to stare at her from afar. She doesn't seem to notice me. Well, that's better, because if she sees me, I might hurt her again. I'm contended by just staring at her. Hmmmm, having her here at my party sure reminds me of the first time we met.

It was during my 7th birthday. I was really bored as usual. I looked around to see tons of gown ups chatting to one another. Seriously, this is my birthday party but how come there are no kids? Only grown ups? Jee, where's Ruka and that annoying cousin of mine? They are the only ones I can play with.

I walked away from my parents and then I saw Aoi-nee-chan talking to Tsuabsa. They were with another kid. She has her hair in high pigtails just like some loser and she was wearing a bright orange dress. She was smiling a lot and her eyes were twinkling with amazement. He looks foolish but she's cute.

"Natsume! Happy birthday!" Tsubasa, my annoying cousin greeted with a huge grin printed on his stupid face.

"Yeah yeah." I replied looking bored.

"Natsume, this is Mikan, a family friend." Tsubasa introduce me to the little girl. She looks at me then flashed me a huge smile.

"Happy birthday!" she said. I stare at her like she's some kind of specimen.

"Hn." Was my reply as I walk away to the garden.

What kind of birthday party is this? This is extremely boring. I sighed. Dad did give me a party but what I wanted was a children's party where I can play with my friends. Not some adult party. How annoying. Dad never seems to care about me. Whatever, Like I ever care. I sat under the sakura tree and closed my eyes.

"Ow, you're here." A small voice said. I opened my left eye only to see that stupid girl earlier. What was her name again? Miya? Miku? Mimi? Ow whatever!

"what?" I asked closing my eye again.

"Why aren't you inside?" she asked

"Too bored." I reply

"Ah…you know, you seem lonely." She suddenly said

I didn't answer back. I pretended to be asleep but I really am awake. I could feel her stare at me. God, just leave annoying little girl!

"Poor you, I heard from Tsubasa-sempai that your father always expects too much from you. At a young age I bet you already have so much pressure. I'm sorry. I can't do anything for you. But please, I hope you will stay strong. Make your dad proud." She said then she stood up and leaves.

After a few seconds, when I finally confirmed that she was no longer there, I opened my eyes and sat straight. I let out a sigh. 'She's a weird girl.' I said to myself then I smirked.

"Natsume! Happy birthday!" Someone behind me greeted. I didn't have to look back to figure out who it was. It was obvious. The way that person greeted me and that tone, I know who it was.

"Whatever, Baldy." I replied

"Hahaha, you're as cold as ever cousin!" he hugged me that gave me goose bumps

"Get off of me!!!" I pushed him away but he kept on clinging to me, while laughing. He's so embarrassing.

"haha, so you were looking at her?" he asked after finally letting me go

"I don't know what you are talking about." I looked away only to see that she was heading to the balcony.

"Come on, talk to her." He insisted

"No."

"Fine then." Tsubasa then walked away to the balcony. That bastard, I bet he's going to hit on her now. A never popped out of my head, he is so annoying! That doesn't mean that just because he was closer to her during childhood means he can do whatever he wants! That girl is also annoying! How can she remember Andou but not me?! I was also her childhood friend! I sighed releasing my anger and then looked at her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------[Mikan's POV]------------------------------------------------------------

Since I figured out that there will be zero chances of finding him here in this crowded place, I decided to go to the balcony to catch some fresh air. The cold night's breeze makes me shiver yet it was very relaxing. I looked up at the sky and looked at the stars. The stars seem to be so closed to each other but in reality they are million miles away from one another. Just like Natsume and I. Oh gosh. This is not good. I feel like I want to cry again. Get a hold of yourself Mikan!

"Hey hey!" a masculine voice said. I turned around to see a handsome man in a white tuxedo with a small white hat that you used to see in movies involving solving crimes and he was also wearing a white mask.

"hmmm?" I don't know what to say. I don't know this guy. I hate masquerade ball! I could never identify who's who! If this guy tries to hit on me, I'll seriously smack him in the head.

"Ow, you can't recognize who I am?" he grinned.

I think deeply on who this guy is but nothing comes into my mind. I hate mind games!!!

"Well, I am the phantom thief. I shall steal your heart." He said with a big voice like those in theaters then he grinned

Oh come on. I now know who this person is! I laughed to myself.

"Tsuabsa!" I said then he grinned.

"Ow, my disguise is over?" he pouted which makes me grin

"I'm glad to see that you're finally back to your old self." He then said then looked at the stars.

"Yeah, it was thanks to Hotaru." I said

"Eh? Only Hotaru? What about me?" he pouted and crossed his arms like a kid

"haha, also thanks to you and the others." I smiled

He returned it with a smile then he touched my face.

"Ne, mikan, not every fairytale has a happy ending but remember this. There are a lot of amazing things ones hands can do. Your hands can make anything, even make the best ending for you and for the one you love." Then he kissed my cheeks and walks away.

I blushed and touched my heart. What he said was true. I can make my own happy ending. Even if right now everything is a mess I know with my hands I can change it. Make this mess into something wonderful. I smiled at his back and went inside to the party.

Everyone was dancing now. Looking at them, it made my heart sink a bit, everyone was so happy. I can even see Hotaru dancing with Ruka. I'm so glad that she already got her happy ending. I smiled but deep inside, I'm longing for someone. I sigh. I can't be sad now; my goal is to find Natsume! I clenched my fist then suddenly. Someone took my hand and danced me. It was a guy in a crimson suit. I can't clearly see his face because of his crimson mark but I had a huge feeling that this person in front of me, this hand and arm that are holding me gently and that pair of crimson eyes who stare at me so tenderly is Natsume.

We continued to dance, not saying a word. We kept gazing at each others eyes. Everyone around us seems like they have their own worlds and that goes for the two of us too. It's like we are on our own world now. Where there is only the two of us, secluded from everyone. I'm having a different feeling in my heart. 1000 words could never express my real emotions right now.

When the music was over, he finally let me go then started walking away. I tried to follow him but it was too crowded that I lost track of him. I desperately ran for him only to see him go to the hall. I ran after him hoping to catch him but when I got there. There was no one in sight. All I could see were bunch of doors and a wide empty hall.

I walked looking left and right then someone grabbed me. It was Sanchez-san. Why is she here? What does she want from me?

"Don't talk. Natsume is now on his room but it'll be hard to get there. There are 2 body guards who are guarding the door right now. So I suggest you sneak into the garden. There's a way to his balcony. I know he's there. Be careful, some guards are also roaming around the garden." She said.

"What about Persona?" I asked

"Don't worry about him. I'll distract him." She said. Why is she telling me all this? This might be a trap. I looked her in the eyes and I can see that she was really telling the truth. I nodded and I rashly go my way to the garden.

On my way, I encountered Hotaru, Ruka, Tsubasa and Misaki. I told them about the plan and they agreed to help me.

I'm already in the garden making my way to Natsume's balcony; Tsubasa and Ruka are by my side. They will be playing the decoy if ever guard caught us. As for Hotaru and Misaki-san, they will be making sure that there won't be anyone who will see us.

"Go left then you'll see Natsume's balcony." Tsuabsa said. By the looks of it, he seems like an expert in sneaking into the Hyuuga mansion. Maybe it's his hobby.

"But what about you guys?" I asked, I just can't leave them

"Don't worry about us. Just go." Ruka smiled and Tsuabsa nodded at me.

I did what he said and I looked up to the balcony and saw Natsume sitting on a chair while he was looking at the moon.

"Romeo finally came to my rescue." He smirked

"Romeo? But I'm a girl!" I yelled a little

"But you sneaked in here to come save me. Hmm, or do you prefer being Prince Charming and I'll be Raupanzelle?" he rested his chin at his left hand. He seems like he's enjoying what's happening now.

"Whatever. Hmmfp! Anyway, what's with I no longer wanna see you stuff?!"

"I had to say it. If not the life of the one I love is in the line. I don't want her to be harmed." He confessed

"But why that harsh? Btw, who's this girl that you love?" I asked. I noticed him smirk then he blinked and flashed me a smile.

"She's a unique one. I would never see someone like her again. She's loud, nosy, stubborn, childish, reckless and stupid but even though she's like that you can't possibly resist her cuteness. She's hard working, caring, lovable, sweet and kind. He's indeed very different from all the girls." The way he says it, is he describing me? That's impossible!

"Who's that?" I asked again. I bet it's not me.

"It's you dummy." You replied with a serious face. So, is this a confession? I don't know how to react. I could feel my face turn bright red and my heart is thumping really fast. I feel stiff.

"Anyway, do you plan on just standing there or come and save me?" he suddenly interrupted.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked, gosh, it's hard to look at him now.

"There's a ladder behind that tree, go and get it." He said pointing to a nearby tree.

I took the ladder, which is really heavy then putted it onto the balcony.

"Why is there a ladder there?" I asked as he makee his way down.

"I used to sneak out whenever I'm grounded. I'll go call Tsubasa to get the ladder and help me get down." He explained. I sweat dropped. She he was a trouble maker.

When he was finally on the ground he looked at me in the eye. I felt my heart skipped a beat again.

"Hey! The guards are on there way!" Tsubasa screamed as he and Ruka run towards us.

"Eh?! How did they know?" I asked

"Someone heard us talking and that person told it to Persona." Ruka explained. Someone, could it be Ayumi-san?! It can't be, but I trusted her?! We then heard the guards running.

"Hurry up and go! We will do something to distract them. Aoi-san is already waiting outside with a car." Tsubasa said and pushed us

"Andou." Natsume said looking at him with concern

"Ow come on now cousin, don't tell me you're starting to soften your heart to me?" he smirked

"Idiot, I just wanted to say that, don't let those crappy guard beat you because itll be my job to do that." Natsume smirked then he took my hand ad we ran.

As we ran away, I looked back only to see Ruka and Tsubasa having a fist fight with the guards. I hope they will be alright.

Okie! That's it! Hope ya like it! It's long isn't it? I wanted to make up for chap 15, it was so short XD hahaha! Anyway! Reviews please.
