Bet

Disclaimer: Yeah... and also I'm the first girl on the moon, I own a Lamborghini, and I'm dating a filthy rich, busty, redheaded French model (and my girl isn't totally gonna kill me for the French Model thing).


"I'm in love with Shizuru." These simple words Natsuki uttered the moment there was a lull in the party. She then sat there in the karaoke room waiting for the explosions; screams and general mayhem that she knew were going to happen in any second.

For some reason nothing happened except for Mai, Yukino, Reito, Shiho, Akane and Kazu-kun groaning in despair and passing several high Yen notes to Tate, Miyu, Haruka, Takumi and Alyssa, who for their part (with a loud complain from Suzushiro), added more money to the pile and promptly gave them to Nao, Yukariko and Yohko. The three women only sighed and passed the money (this time without adding) to a very smiling Mikoto, a grinning Midori and an always serious Akira.

There was calm. There was money counting. There was a vein on Natsuki's forehead that popped dangerously.

"You betted on this?" In all honesty Natsuki wouldn't had been mad at this inconsequential fact, but the reaction she had been waiting hadn't materialized and that had left her a little off her dept. "I can believe you betted on me being in love with Shizuru."

"Actually we won because we betted that you would choose the most ridiculous way to confess the fact." Tate said signaling to the first group. "And they won because they said that you would do it on a HiME gathering." Here he signaled to Nao, Yukariko and Yohko.

"And we won because we said you would do it in front of Shizuru." Said a very drunk, happy and now flush Midori.

"I didn't say it... in... front..." Natsuki turn to the side where Mikoto and Akira where pointing and saw a very happy, happy, happy Shizuru (with heart shaped eyes and small hearts floating around her) close to the door, where she apparently was the moment that Natsuki had made her confession. "Shizuru, just because I said that doesn't mean you can ravish-"

Natsuki couldn't finish her sentence as a very happy (like really happy) former Kaicho proceeded to jump into her and claim her lips. Very, very quickly the rest of the people in the room cleared the premises (Miyu should really stop bringing her ojou-sama to this places).

Midori, Akira and Mikoto gave their earnings to a very calm Fumi. "That Shizuru will ravish her." She said simply, all the present public nodded in understanding.

Just when they were going to leave to find a new karaoke place (they were sure to get banned from this one) the door to the private room opened and a disheveled Natsuki with her uniform shirt half opened and her skirt barely hanging extended her hand and passed a couple of Yen notes to Fumi before giggling and quickly closing the door. Everyone blinked in question at the Principal of the Fuuka Gakuen. "That she would enjoy it."

Himeno Fumi really loved these little gatherings.

End.


Notes: I'm kinda drunk so if there is bad grammar (or a bad plot) that's the excuse.
