Regarding to the problem of her mother, well it was unresolved she was kicked out of the house and her mother seems like has no intention of talking to her again. Once she tried to talk to her mother the only thing she saw was that all her things are waiting for her outside the house. Her sister Misaki also left the house actually she was asked to leave the house by their mother saying that she has no children that is disrespectful. The siblings both tried looking for their older sister Mika to ask for help but luck was not in their side they weren't able to find her.

Because of that Misaki was asked to live with her boyfriend's house Tsubasa Mikan was also invited to stay but she feels shy thinking Tsubasa was helping them so much so she refuse, saying she'll look for her own place misaki was about to follow Mikan but her little sister said that she is big enough and she wants time, so Misaki just let her sister do what she wants.

About Natsume well he insists her on staying to his house but she refused saying that he already help her so much. But Natsume was really a big help because he finds her a job. A job that is the reason why her life feels like hell but its okay she needs to earn money.

Flashback

It was raining and an eighteen years old girl was soaking wet as she seats on the swing in the park with her bags of clothes.

"I'm hungry and tired." She said to no one she was holding her stomach because it was grumbling she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday she only drink water. It's a good thing that she has water or else she might die in hunger. She looks at her wallet again and her face saddened

"No money. "All my money is in my other wallet. It was place in my drawer." She growled thinking that the most important thing she need was money and it is the one that she doesn't have.

"Ahhhh…." She started crying feeling so lonely she doesn't want this feeling. She was now feeling cold all she need is food to regain her strength.

Sniff

Sniff

She wipe the tears from her eyes the same with the raindrop continuously flowing in her face. She looked down at her feet and it was very dirty due to walking all day looking for a place to stay. When suddenly the raindrops stops wetting her body.

"What is an idiot doing here." A cold voice said which made Mikan looked up and she smiled as she continue on crying

"Sniff. Sniff….. I was just wondering around. Sniff..Sniff. got bored….Sniff…I…." she wasn't able to finish her sentence when the person hugged her as she doubled in crying.

"Don't you consider me as a friend? If you have problem that you cannot face by your own ask for my help. Such an idiot." The person said as she let go of the umbrella she was holding just to hug Mikan.

"Thanks Hotaru. Sorry you also got wet." She said then she hugged Hotaru back.

"How's this?" Hotaru ask to the girl who continuously studying the room.

"It's perfect. Thanks." She said as she put down all her things down.

"Mikan…. I told you, you can stay in my house or if you want we can get better apartment." She said but Mikan just shook her head saying its okay. Hotaru helped her picked an apartment and she decided to stay in an old and small apartment since she thinks this is the only place she can afford. Hotaru invited her into her house but she doesn't want to depend to others. Hotaru also bought her a supply of food and lend her some money to use. Mikan was really grateful that she becomes a friend of a good heart girl.

RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

The bell already rang which made the students go wild.

"Geez…Jinno is scary." Anna said to Nonoko as they walk to Hotaru and Mikan's place.

"Mikan, are you going with us we'll go to the mall." Nonoko invited which made mIkan smile. She was really thankful she had made friends with this people, they are kind and very helpful.

"Sorry, I'lllook for a job." She replied as she continue on packing her things.

"When we found a suitable job for you we'll tell you." Hotaru replied as she stood up from the chair and ready to exit but she looked back "Don't fall to simple tricks kay?" Then she started to went outside. Mikan just shrugged not knowing what her friend told her and when she was about to go out she saw a figure leaning at her classroom's door.

"Natsume? What ya doing here?" She asked as she saw the boy looked at her and move to her side

"Looking for a job? Should have told me." He said as he pulls the stunned brunette with him.

"Natsume. What are you doin'?" she asked trying to get free from the boy's grip.

"Ask father to look a suitable job for you." He looked back then smirk. And the only thing on his mind is 'you'll soon fall to my plan little girl.'

"What? Are you kidding us?" A furious Natsume asked his father.

"No I'm not kidding you, I think it's the only job I can give her." Mr. Hyuuga smiled as he looked at his son who was really angry. He still remembers the bet they made, though it pisses him because it shows how cold hearted his son is.

"You have connections. Why giving her that job?" Natsume asked again he really has no idea what's going inside his father's head. Mikan who just keep quiet think about the idea. The job might sound ugly for her but no harm will done she will work to a safer place, high salary and she knows her boss. So why not accept?

"Ahmm.. I'll accept sir. But are you sure about the salary I mean it's too high for that job." She said

"Too high of course not you deserve it. and we're not strangers anymore. So do you accept it darling?" MR. Hyuuga ask in a sweet voice which made his son twitch.

"Yes sir I accept. Thank you very much." Mikan said as she bow her head

"Well then welcome. Don't worry you don't have to stay here you can always stay to your apartment after work" Mr. Hyuuga said in an welcoming voice he looked at his son. Natsume who's trying to study what his father is planning he knows his father hates his game, playing and using the little girl to entertain his life but what he does not know is why his father give a job which made them much more closer.

"Scared son?" Mr. Hyuuga asked in a confident tone and with that Natsume already knew what his father plans. His dad try to make him closer to Mikan thinking that he might fall in love with her which will make him lose the bet. Natsume smirk and his father's face fell.

"Well….." Natsume said as he put his arms on Mikan which made her shudder "I guess I expect I'll be closer too you since you are now my personal maid." He smirk then look at his father. "Thanks dad, you really are a big help." He said, it might sound simple to other people who don't know what's going on but Natsume really means. Thanks dad you're making it easier for me to win this bet.

End of flashback

Dingdong!

Dingdong!

Dingdong!

It was still early in the morning when the door bell rang and swear that person is irritating.

"Ugh. So noisy. Shut up!" The brunette shouted trying to cover her ear with her pillow.

Dingdong!

Dingdong!

"Okay okay Coming!" She lazily said also getting annoyed to the person who ruined her sleep. She first went to the bathroom and do her morning routine to look at least presentable to the person. She brushed her hair and she ran to the irritating person.

"What?" She said as she saw the person who ruined her sleep, her morning, her life. "It's still ear-." She wasn't able to finish her words when the lad pushed her aside and enter her small apartment

"I thought maids should wake their master not in the other way around. It seems like in our case the master is the one who wakes the maid." He said teasingly looking at the annoyed brunette.

"No one said you need to go here to wake me up." Mikan said as she close the door and went to the kitchen and get milk then drink it.

"What do you want me to do?" She asked after she drink "Do you want me to wash your clean clothes just because you want me too see work hard, maybe you want me too look for a ring that you lost but the truth is you know where it really is…which reminds me it takes me a whole day looking for it in a matter of fact it's just in your pocket.,,,,," She looked at the boy who was smirking before she continue. "Okay I know you want me to run after the ice cream vendor who is miles away from us, or maybe clean the poo of a dogs because you are disgusted by it, wait maybe you'll let all your maids take a day off and let me clean your huge house. What?" Mikan ask as she looked to the boy who seems having fun. Meanwhile, Natsume seeing her get angry to all the things he ask her to do silly and weird but he always had fun just smirked

"I want you too cook for me. I'm hungry." He said as he sit comfortably on the small couch of the brunette.

"Cook? Why me you have maids they can cook you great foods." She said nervously she was really shocked to what he just asks her to do. She thought he'll ask her to clean the whole school.

"Why let others do it when I have you. You're my personal maid remember." HE said in a matter of fact tone which made Mikan tremble.

"are you sure? Really sure?" She asked her

"Damn YES! Just cook I'm hungry!" NAtsume shouted getting annoyed to his maid.

"ooooooookay….." she said nervously. The truth is she really doesn't know how to cook when she cooks it's always over cooked it's burned but she's the only one who can eat the food she cooks. Actually she just eats food in canned or noodles or just order. Usually her sisters or mom is the one who cooks food for her. She looked at her refrigerator the first thing she saw is eggs and hotdogs, damn, only this foods yet she doesn't know how too cook well actually she knows how too but she doesn't know when it is ready too eat. She went to the stove and started cooking.

After 10 minutes…

"What's this?" Natsume ask looking at the foods in his plate mind you it's all black.

"I'm so sorry. I thought it wasn't cook yet so I left it for a while and go to the bathroom to look for something then when I came back it became like this. I'm sorry." She said bowing down her head.

"Don't you know when it's cook or not. IDIOT!" he said looking at the disgusting food he has on his plate.

"Don't worry too much I put sugar on it so it wouldn't taste bitter." Mikan said with a smile then she looked at Natsume who doesn't believe and she took a bite too show too her master that it's not that disgusting "See." She said as she chewed it. Then after a second she ran to the sink and throw up what she just all ate.

NAtsume shook his head but he really is having fun. HE sighed then went to the side of the girl who was throwing up.

"Go and Change we'll go out. That's an order" HE said seriously but as he turned around from the girl he smiled.

Sorry if it's late…..

I hope you enjoy though its not that nice….
