Oh yeah, hey there! It's my first time to write a fanfiction. Heh, I just happened to get inspiration for it is Natsuki's birthday! (HURRAY! HURRAAAY! *ehem* Sumimasen.) Well this story is unbetaed so I hope you'll bear with me. I'm not good in descriptions and poor in verb tense consistency so…urgh…here it is.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own MAI-Hime. All the characters used in this fic are Sunrise's.

*Ding dong*

Oh, great. The damned doorbell rang just when I was about to finish my game. I was only a few minutes away from my final destination! If these people wouldn't have anything important to say, God forgive me, I'd kill them.

Pausing the game, I laid the console down to my green throw pillow. I looked around for a while and groaned. The living room looked like a mess and lo! Didn't I take Duran out? I swear, I could see him tearing my sofa's arm rest apart with his teeth! Damn!

"Hey buddy, get your rabid ass away from my sofa!" I said as I shooed him away.

*Ding dong*

"Hang on, I'm com- gaah!"

So stupid of me! My leg just happened to bump into the wooden coffee table while trying to get away from the Xbox. Impatience always takes its toll. Thanks to the unwanted visitors out there on my door.

Striding along the corridor, I could still feel the pain in my leg. Yeah, thank you very much. I combed my hair with my hands first before touching the knob, mentally preparing myself for whoever the intruders would be. Here I go...

"OTANJOUBI OMEDETOU, Natsuki!" a loud chorus blared right into my ears.

"Eh?" I stood there dumbfounded. What?

"It's your birthday! Don't you remember?" Mai countered my unbelievably surprised expression. My birthday? Really? Whoa. Maybe I got too carried away by CoD these days.

"Mutt has really grown old. Can't you see, she's suffering from memory loss? Oi~" my best frienemy just said. Bitching again, eh, Nao?

"I'm hungry, Mai~" Wow. Mikoto's even here, eh? Wait, was that a box of cake?

"Oh, yeah, it is. Come in.. It's quite messy in here, though."

When they got in, Mai did the usual. She cleaned the place like a tornado would while scolding me like my late mom would. Thankfully, I got used to her—helping me in every stuff; not neglecting me in my carefree and lazy-go-lucky lifestyle. Sometimes, I wonder if she's the reincarnated Saeko...but seeing her 'healthy' bosom, I took my thought back. She's definitely not my mom.

It's just now when I noticed Nao waving two bottles of sake to me. She really was a hard drinker despite of being a few years younger than me. Drowning our throats with that again? I didn't think that's a good idea.

"Come on, Mutt. You're 20, and it's now legal for you. Go get us glasses," she commanded. I nodded, realizing that I just turned 20 today. OH, SWEET PEA!

"Mutt? You okay?" the redhead scrutinized my face. Heh, I must had looked too surprised. I didn't notice how fast time came. 20 years. A 20 year-old gamer/biker/good-for-nothing, I was.

"Natsuki! I turned your game off so we can have a karaoke–"

"WHAT? Are you kidding me Mai? I haven't saved my game yet!" I burst while turning the Xbox on again. Come on, I spent two days and a night just to reach that level! Gaaah!

My busty friend pouted as she dragged me from the TV's front. Waving a finger like 'no, no', she insisted that we should sing karaoke rather than having me sulking about my plaything.

I sighed. No alibis would really work with them. I surrendered, unplugging my Xbox from and plugging the sound system to my LED TV.

Mikoto brought the dishes and glasses from the kitchen. She unloaded lots of foodstuffs from the huge basket she had carried. Funny, it was. She grew up a tad bit reliable now.

"Are you gonna stand there and check Mikoto out?" Oh, crap. Nao snapped me from my thoughts.

"O-of course not! I'm just surprised. She definitely has matured, right Mai?" I blushed at the thought of Nao's statement. No freaking way.

"Hai, you're right at that. Come gals, let's eat first so we can party later!" Mai excitedly said. "Save the sake for later, Nao."

I wished, I could enjoy this night.

After a few moments, the doorbell rang once again. I hurriedly opened the door just to see Chie and Aoi carrying a case of beer. I think they really wanted to get drunk tonight.

"Otanjoubi omedetou, Natsuki!" Aoi crushed me in a tight hug.

"It's good to see the Ice Maiden once again. The beer needs you, you know?" Chie winked as I ushered them inside.

"Thanks guys. I'm sorry, I really forgot what day it is today. I'm glad you remembered," I sheepishly whispered my gratitude. A sincere one at that.

Good 30 minutes had passed and we're all finished with the meal. I was stuffed with mayo delicacies exclusively made for me while they ate the usual birthday food. Although Mai really didn't tolerate my addiction for it, she totally brushed that aside for my day. I was really touched!

(She's a real genius when it comes to cooking stuff! Her baked bluefish in mayo and the potato salad are oh, so heavenly!)

While I was talking to myself, I noticed that Mikoto was eying the chocolate mousse cake menacingly. I could swear, she's keeping herself from drooling!

"Mikoto," I finally said, scratching my cheek. "You can slice the cake and eat some if you really want to."

As I had expected, she beamed with glee, like a kitty who hadn't got a taste of fish since forever. She glanced at Mai, who nodded, and at Nao, who shrugged. Aoi and Chie snickered.

While our feline friend devoured her share, Nao opened a bottle of sake up.

There the transparent liquid went, slightly frothing upon touching the glass surface. She'd planned to give me a hangover as a gift all along. Great.

"For the Mutt who finally reached the second decade of her life but haven't matured yet!" she yelled as she raised her glass. "Kanpai!"

"Oi, is that really necessary?" I flinched at her words. (But I admit, she's kinda right.)

"KANPAI~" everybody cheered. Mou, I couldn't help but feel all warm and giddy.

The night continued with Mai singing, Mikoto sleeping on the couch and Nao, Chie and Aoi talking to me while we were seated near the coffee table.

"So Mutt," she muttered after having her seventh glass of rice wine. "I think it's time for you to give some fuck."

"WHAT? *ahem, agh*Are you serious? Where did that come from?" I choked at my drink, flabbergasted by the sudden remark.

"Nao's right, Natsuki. You're still single and haven't indulged to 'that' since you were born!" Chie backed up. My, these people! What were they thinking? Whoring me? Oh, no, no.

"Eto, I think you should have done that today. You're at the legal age now!" Aoi slurred as she downed her beer for the nth time. "Why don't you try doing 'Yobai' tonight?"

Upon hearing the word, everybody had that knowing look. God, that creeped me out!

"No fucking way! Don't mess up with my se- ah, life!" I stammered and blushed at the word again! Damn my blushing genes. "Why the hell do you care, you hentai's!"

"Ah huh, so if you won't go for Yobai, are you game for a gang rape?" Nao winked at me! And her hand was slithering its way to my belly!

"GET OFF~!" Tomato red, I was. I jumped up to my feet to go to the bathroom when Mai stopped me.

"Ne, why don't you play with me, Na-tsu-ki?" Oh no, she's drunk too much and now she's tipsy like the others!

Suddenly, I could feel several firm grips on my thigh, legs and, FUCK! WHO DARED GROPE MY ASS?

*blag!*

"Aww!" I flinched and rubbed my bottom. They're gonna kill me if they stay longer!

"Fu fu fu~ This night's gonna be fun for us if you won't agree with the 'yobai' plan," Chie said while caressing my cheeks. She's reeking with alcohol, ew!

"Maybe, we should get to our last resort," Nao stood up, jiggling my Ducati's keys in her han- OH HOLY FREAKING COWBOY!

"NAO!" I struggled to get away from Aoi, Chie and Mai pinning me. Oh, sweet mayo, this couldn't be true!

When I managed to get up, I struggled for the keys. Just when did she got them, I really didn't know. The spider's got her ways.

I lunged for her arm but to no avail. She giggled like a school girl as her palm landed flat on my face. She then pinched my nose! Ow!

"Lek go om my nose! Gimme my keys mack!"

"Iie, you dog," there was that annoying laugh again. "You won't get this if you won't submit to our command. Hm, I would like to take a night ride so I guess, you could say goodbye to your bike."

She tightened her pinch. I thought I was gonna lose my beloved motorbike and nose, so, I, Kuga Natsuki, hereby raised the white flag, this 15th of August, in the year of our Lord, FOR MY SEXY BABY'S SAKE!

"Okay, okaaay! I'm gonna do it!"

Everybody stopped from what they're doing. Damn it. What's with those smirks?

I then shivered. What had I just said?

Yobai is literally 'night crawling': a Japanese tradition wherein a person sneaks into somebody's house to have sex with a sleeping woman, sliding beside her and making the intention known. The stranger and the woman will have discrete sex, if, the latter agreed, until the early morning. Afterwards, the stranger will have to leave as stealthily as possible.

"So, this is our plan," Nao announced. She drew a sketch of my neighborhood (I freaking didn't know how she even memorized my place! Even I was new to it! I just moved in last week.)

"Four blocks away from your house is a verrry large traditional house. A verrry beautiful lady lives there; on the far eastern side of the mansion, her *hick* bedroom is located."

I slapped my forehead and groaned. Why did I agree to do this? If my bike wasn't at stake, I wouldn't embarrass myself with this.

"Kuga," Chie interrupted. "That girl is freaking hot! She's the talk of the town, don't you know?" She swatted my shoulders and grinned evilly. Screw her.

"Chie would have probably done that if we weren't together, ne? Chi-chan?" Senoh pouted.

"Yeah! OH, I MEAN, NO, WHY WOULD I?" the woman in glasses interjected. Looks like somebody wanted to volunteer herself if not for her girlfriend.

Everybody laughed. I shrugged again. This nervousness of mine was warning me. Something would go wrong.

"So, you're gonna sneak here at the back gate, then tiptoe your way cautiously to this sliding door. You better be careful, the owners have guards there," she pointed at the map she had made.

"I don't think it's a good idea," I countered and glared at the redhead. She's getting into my nerves. "What if they caught me?"

"Oh, calm down. You needn't worry about them too much . Worry about the girl," she smirked.

Mai hugged me from the back and whispered, "Be careful, Natsuki. That's the house of a verrry powerful man here in Kyoto."

"See? You want me to end up in jail! Damn, you better bail me out if I did get caught by the security!" I grunted.

"Ehh.. You shouldn't bother too much. Yobai is different from rape. You won't be put into jail," Aoi added. Thank you for that. "It's a tradition."

"What I wanna say is you shouldn't be seen by the guards to save yourself from shame, Mutt."

"Oh fine," I huffed. You really were kind in expressing your concern, weren't you?

After the heated debate and planning, they made me take a bath and dress up in a manly way. I felt like a ninja arming up for battle. Of all the ways to experience 'that', I admitted to myself that it's much nobler than calling a whore over. At least, this was gonna be memorable in every way. (I hoped so.)

With me already prepared, we rode Chie's red pick up except for Mai and Mikoto. My busty friend volunteered to clean up while watching over the young girl. An ever responsible woman, she was.

I couldn't believe my eyes when the spider just waved my night vision binoculars. She's really fast in getting my things. A great thief, she'd be. Fuck. Maybe she took it from my room while I was taking a shower.

Minutes after the swerving and nauseating drunk driving of Chie, we arrived at the east gate of the Fujino mansion, miraculously alive.

"Hahaha! Kuga's getting chickenshit now!" the evil instigator mocked. Damn you, spider! I'd get your neck after this fuss!

"I'm ready, sponge brain!" I spatted. I really was nervous, but there's no turning back now!

"Natsuki-chan, ganbatte!" Thank you for cheering, Aoi. Thank you very much for giving this idea to them.

"We're gonna watch you with your high tech binoculars. You better not fail or else...you know what's gonna happen next," light green eyes glinted with mischief. "Have fun, Mutt!"

A/N: So, how was it? I intended to make this a oneshot but I think, I'd mess up if I did.

Otanjoubi omedetou, Natsuki! :3
