Summary: Mikan was always taunted Natsume Hyuuga saying that she sounded like a strangled peacock. Mikan was so enraged with Natsume's statement and she wanted to prove him wrong. But the question is, how?


The Strangled Peacock

By khayez14jazz4u


Flashback

"Cut it out already!!!!" Natsume snarled at the singing one star alice, commonly known as Sakura Mikan.

"What's wrong?!" Mikan asked innocently.

"Stop singing already." He told her. "You're making me deaf."

Mikan crossed her arms in front of her chest and answered back to the Hyuuga prodigy.

"I am not!" Mikan huffed.

"Yes you are!" Natsume insisted. "Not only that you're too loud and noisy but you're also a horrible singer."

A vein popped out of Mikan's temple. This guy sure makes her annoyed. Really, really annoyed. He sure has gotten to her last nerve. One more insult and he's doomed. As of this moment, she felt like killing him like let's say, now?

"I am not a horrible singer." Mikan threateningly said.

"You are." Natsume coolly said. "Strangled Peacock." He added.

That did it. The last strand of patience in Mikan was suddenly pulled off.

"YOU!!!" she snarled, her voice was heard throughout the academy.

End of Flashback

"That darn annoying bastard." Mikan muttered under her breath.

The young brunette was still annoyed about what Natsume said to her earlier that day. Maybe she didn't sound that nice but does he really have to rub it in?! I mean, Mikan used to join singing contests with Imai and usually put up a great performance. Also, almost everyone who hears her sing tells how amazing her voice was so it was such a wonder why Natsume kept on insisting that she sounded like a 'strangled peacock.'

Take note: STRANGLED Peacock…

Mikan was still fuming when a group of girls passed by and caught her attention. More specifically, she got caught up with their little conversation.

"Hey, have you already thought of what to give him?!" asked one girl that Mikan saw for the first time.

"Nope." Answered the other.

Mikan just stood there and continued eavesdropping. She glanced at the as girl stood in front of the group. Thus, making them come to a halt and give Mikan the chance to overhear their conversation.

"You should have already decided on what to give him. Gals, Natsume's birthday is like next week." She emphasized the word next week.

The girls continued with their own chit chat while Mikan didn't seem to care listening to them at all for she was already busy with her thoughts.

'So, Natsume's comes next week. I wonder what I should give him…'

Mikan right index finger traveled across her chin as she busied herself into contemplating with her thoughts. Just as then, a very ingenious idea struck her.

"That's it!" Mikan shouted out loud.
