A.N I'm terribly sorry for this really really late , this would be my last update for maybe... months. It's my freshman year so I am really busy. And my school is a good school so I'm really stressed out. But I promise I'll update as fast as I can! So yup, enjoy and leave a review!

I know it will be hard for me to fall for this little girl. I know she will be just those sluts that's over my money. But somehow, I seem to care for her... -Natsume

Natsume broke the hug and was about to walk away when Mikan suddenly grabbed his sleeve. He turned to face Mikan with a 'what's wrong' face. Mikan blushed and whispered a soft 'don't go'. Natsume's soft side had kicked in again. He nodded as he tucked both himself and Mikan into bed. He placed his arms around Mikan's waist as Mikan cuddled up against his warm chest. He gave Mikan a kiss on her forehead and commanded her to sleep. And together, they had visited their dreamland with each other's company.

Natsume woked up first. He was about to get off the bed when he felt someone's pressence beside him. He turned and Mikan's beautiful face enlarged greeted him. He blushed and looked away. They were in a really awkward position. Natsume's hands were wrapped around Mikan's waist while his head was on top of Mikan's that was leaning in to his muscular chest. He sighed and decided to go back to sleep again.

Mikan snuggled to the warm thing beside her. Pause, since when did she have something warm beside her?! She woke up, startled. Then she realised the position she was in. She blushed. She tilted her head, wanting, desiring to see Natusme's face. That was when she realised, Natsume, like her, was wide awake. She blushed and pick herself up from the bed. She slightly frowned at the sudden lost of heat. Natsume also sat up, joining Mikan.

"Uh... I think I shall leave and change. See you later during breakfast, Mikan." Natsume said as he opened the door. Mikan nodded. He took a last glance at Mikan and exited the room. He ruffled his hair right after he closed Mikan's door. What was I thinking? How could I betray Nobara? Damn.

They ate their breakfast in peace. Oh well, maybe not really peace. It was awkward silence. Natsume was thinking what a jerk he was for betraying Nobara while Mikan was blushing while thinking about that morning. Suddenly, the phone in the Hyuuga's mansion rang.

"I'll get it." Said Mikan as she rose from her seat and got the phone.

"Hello, Hyuuga mansion,"

"Hi, uhm... uh... are you the new maid? Sounds new, anyway, could you help me tell Natsume that me, Koko is coming over? Thanks!"

"Uh... sure thing. But... I'm not the new maid..." Mikan said but by the time she said it, the line was already cut off. She pouted.

"Natsume, just now a guy named Koko called and ask me to tell you that he is coming over." Mikan said. Natsume finally glanced up at her.

"Oh, okay, noted." He said.

"Natsume... Could you... tell me more about Nobara? I'm curious about her," Mikan asked. Natsume raised his eyebrow.

"Interested? Why? Not like you're gonna meet her or anything," Natsume said. Mikan nodded.

"I know. But I'm just curious. How can someone date you? No offense but you seemed a little too cold." Mikan just made an excuse without thinking. When she came back to her senses, she gasped. She had forgotten that Natsume despise people who call him cold! Just as she feared, Natsume was glaring at her.

"Don't talk like you know me." Natsume spat coldly as he left her, regretting her own actions. Great, she just messed it all up.

Natsume went back to his room. He studied some of the stuffs of the company like the sales rate and other important factors. Not long after, Koko arrived. One of the maid brought them to the play room they have in the Hyuuga mansion. The maid was on the way to tell Natsume that Koko had arrvied when she bumped into Mikan.

"I'm terribly sorry, Mikan-sama, I wasn't looking my way." The maid apologised, not daring to look Mikan in the eye. Mikan chuckled.

"Drop the 'sama' thing! Just call me Mikan will do! Ne, ne, what's your name?" Mikan asked.

"Riko..." The maid replied, still nervous.

"Ne, Riko-chan, can we be friends?" Mikan asked. Riko's eyes widened. The future mistress of the Hyuugas, asking her if she could be friends? She was beyond honoured.

"Sure thing! Mikan!" Riko replied with a smile.

"Ne, Riko-chan, where are you going?"

"Natsume-sama's friend arrived and is waiting for him at the play room. I'm on my way to inform Natsume-sama upon his arrival."

"I see... Ne, Riko-chan, I'll help you inform Natsume instead! Could I?" Mikan pleaded with puppy eyes.

"Ah, of course, Mikan. I'll procceed to do my chores now... I'll leave it to you! Bye, Mikan!" Riko said as she leave.

"Bye Riko-chan!"

Mikan took a deep breath before she open the door.

"What are you doing here?" A cold voice accompanied by a fierce glare of Natsume was all that greeted Mikan. She squirmed under his gaze. She swallowed her salivia. Yes, she was afraid. Natsume was really nice to her when they were little kids. So she is really afraid of an angry Natsume.

"I... I... You're friend is here... He is waiting for you at the playroom." Mikan stammered a little. Natsume stood up in silence. He loathe her now. He do not wish to talk to her. He was about to walk past her. Suddenly... warm arms wrapped around him.

"I'm sorry, Natsume! I'm just really curious about Nobara! I didn't mean to hurt you! I didn't think about what I say! I know, I know I'm an idiot! Would you please please please forgive me?" Mikan pleaded with a hoarse voice. Natsume's eyes softened. He knew it was not her fault. He knew he was bad tempered. It was the first time people beg for his forgivness when he is still angry. Mikan Sakura... She is different.

"Of course I'll forgive you, Mikan. I'm sorry for my behaviour just now. Come, I'll introduce you to one of my best friend." Natsume said as he unwrapped Mikan's arms from his waist and held her hand. Mikan nodded and blushed when they walked towards the play room. Natsume was holding her hand all along.

"Yo, Natsume!" Koko greeted once the door was open.

"Hey," Natsume replied. When Natsume and Mikan fully entered the room, Koko stared at Mikan, awaiting for an explaination.

"Uhm... Hi, I'm Mikan Sakura." Mikan introduced herself as she outstretched her hand for a handshake with Koko. Koko shook it.

"Kokoro Yume."

"Mikan-san, what's your relationship with Natsume?" Koko could not help to ask. He find the situation weird. Natsume had told him a few weeks ago that he was going to propose to Nobara. So... Who is this Mikan? Mikan stiffened at his answer. She secretly glnaced at Natsume. Thinking about what to say, she replied.

"I'm just his friend, Koko-san." Mikan replied. This caught both Natsume's and Koko's attention.

"...friend?" Koko made sure.

"She's my fiancee." A cold voice interrupted. Koko's eyes widened while Mikan blushed beet red.

"What? How? What about Nobara?"

"I'll get you guys some drinks." Mikan said as she took her leave, not wanting to listen to what Natsume is going to say, afraid that it might hurt her. As soon as Mikan leave, Natsume started to narrate the whole situation to Koko.

"So... have you given up on Nobara?"

"Never. Nobara is the only girl that I will love and marry."

"Then... what will happen to Sakura by then?"

"That will be none of my concern."

Koko's eyes grew huge.

He could not believe that his best friend, Natsume would say something so harsh. But what could he ever do?

"Oh," it seems to be the only thing that he managed to say.

A few moments later, Mikan went into the room with drinks on her hands.

"Here, your favourite drink, Coke, Natsume. Yome-san, is Coke fine with you?" Mikan asked as she handed the Coke to Koko. Koko was caught off guard when she suddenly asked him a question.

"Of course!"

"That's great." Mikan said with a smile.

A knock was heard and Riko went in and annouced that Natsume had a phone call from one of the biggest investor in Hyuuga Corp. Natsume left the room, leaving Koko and Mikan alone. Mikan wanted to find out more about Natsume. Koko, who is he?

"Yome-san, may I know who is Nobara?"

"Eh?! Nobara-san is Natsume's childhood sweetheart. And they had a really storng relationship a few... uh... years back." Koko was surprised that this girl in front of her knows about Nobara. She seemed like those kind of girls that would not care about the past of their the other half. But he really wonder. Just a few days ago, Natsume told him that he was going to bring Nobara back home to let his parents to agree to their wedding. And now suddenly this girl named Mikan Sakura suddenly showed up and Natsume introduced her as his fiancee.

"You must be wondering where the hell did I came from don't you, Yome-san." Mikan's voice pulled him back into reality.

"W-What?"

"It's okay you know, Yome-san. To wander about that question," Mikan said with a terribly sad look on her face.

"A-ah, please call me Koko instead of my family name."

"Oh, Koko-kun, please call me Mikan also. And well, I'll tell you. It all begins with our parents. They wanted us to live together for a month before deciding if we should marry. You know, arranged marriage. But I guess I could never replace Ibaragi-san in his heart. Since... she was his childhood sweetheart."

"Actually, you might change him, Mikan-chan. The way he introduce you as his fiancee is a lot already. He never did that to anyone else before you know, bringing a girl and saying that she was his. "

Mikan's eyes widened and unconsciously, she blushed. At that very moment, she could not help but to imagine that Natsume have that little crush on her. Afterall, she love Natsume so much. And if Natsume can like her, even if it's a little like, it was enough for her.

A.N I decided to end it here. And once again, I apologize for my late update. Please please leave a review!
