Sorry if it's not that good… it'll be my first time to make a fanfic… I usually stick to poetry and the likes… I love ruka-pyon… he's your typical bishounen… handsome, kind, cool, cold, and HOT!!!... well here goes nothing…

Mikan walked towards the stable to clean. She was assigned by jino-sensei to clean it as a punishment for daydreaming during his lessons. "huhu… I'm so tired… I wonder what the others are doing right now… they're probably eating howalon together and having fun… huhu…" she said "but I wont give up!!" she shot her fisted hand into the air with her eyes gleaming with determination.

When she reached the stable she felt uncomfortable with the animals that stared at her dangerously as if daring her to take a single step inside. "I wish Ruka-pyon is here with me. I'm sure they wont hurt me while his here. Hmm. I better get started."

She slowly, cautiously approached the ferocious cow who wouldn't stop staring at her as if he wants to devour her alive. 'What did I do to deserve this? I miss Hotaru already' she thought then before she could register what was about to happen a pair of feet shot towards her. "oompft!" she was thrown across the room by the unfriendly animal (the cow) and bumped her shoulder against the pole. She started to cry.

Just then a fairly handsome young man (or should I say boy) came rushing inside the stable. "Mi…MIKAN!! Are you all right?!" he approached her. "I'm fine Ruka-pyon!" she said in a cheery manner. Holding her shoulder he gave it a little squeeze then she flinched. He realizes that she was really hurt. He tore her sleeves. And there… a purple bruised revealed itself to him. He sighed "Mikan you could've just told me your hurt. Here I'll help you" he said reaching the first aid kit they had in the stables.

"OUCH!!! That hurts Ruka-pyon! Please be gentle!" she shouted. Ruka just stared at her and shook his head. "You should've told me you were going here. I could've help you or something" he said with a worried look on his face. "don't worry Ruka-pyon! I'm alright! Besides I don't want to bother you any way" she said "your never a bother to me Mikan" he blushed 'why did I say that?!! Oh no... She must hate me now. After all she's Natsume's already; I don't want to interfere with them;' he turned away to hide his red cheeks. "I… I… mean…" she cut him off "don't worry Ruka-pyon I'll aske you to go with me next time." She said while she patted his hands. "And I'm sorry I'll tell you next time okay? Anyway I better get this finished so that jinjin won't get angry at me AGAIN!" she said as he finished tending her bruise. "I'll help you then" Ruka said. "no need Ruka-pyon! I don't want you to get tired and dirty" "it'll be fine with me." Defeated Mikan allowed him to help her. They had fun. Mikan never thought that cleaning the stables would be this fun… maybe not if Ruka-pyon isn't here. But then again she could clean the stables anytime if he was with him.

Not far from the stables a young man and a little boy sat in a tree listening to their laughs. Irritated by how she was having a lot of fun with another guy besides them.
