Chaputa mittsu: They who schemed
Valentine's Day Eve...
In a dark and remote corner of the Alice Academy, where no one dares to tread, a secret emergency meeting was ongoing in one of the rooms.
Anyone walking past would have seen a large sign hanging outside the door.
SECRET EMERGENCY MEETING for the members of the HNFC! Members ONLY! Trespassers will be PROSECUTED, MAIMED and TAKEN DOWN before DYING. (P.S: You won't want to try us, believe me.)
It really leads to people wondering whether these people know the meaning of secret.
Taking a look inside, we see an alarming large number of females of all ages, shapes and sizes inside the room, perched on every surface possible.
There, standing in front was a girl, apparently the leader of this unorthodox meeting.
A terrifyingly familiar girl if this author might say.
A girl with black hair and glinting green eyes.
Yes, she is the man-hunting creature of the darkness who managed to force our dashing hero Hyuuga Natsume into the broom closet with a pail on his head and a bunch of mops on him.
"Attention all members of the HNFC! This morning, we received a terrible piece of news. It seems that our Natsume-kun -sniff- has gotten a - sniff - girlfriend!"
At her words, a sudden wave of wailing hit the roof as everyone reached for the tissue boxes apparently strategically positioned for this very purpose.
Eventhe girlcouldn't contain her grief and snatched a tissue from a nearby table to wipe away her tears.
"Anno, President, what does HNFC stands for? I thought we were the NKILC." A slightly sniffling voice suddenly asked.
"The Hyuuga Natsume Fan Club. It is more professional-sounding than Natsume-kun I Love You Club (NKILC). Natsume-kun will definitely take us more seriously now!" She declared proudly, her tears forgotten as she became starry-eyed about thoughts of getting Natsume-kun's coveted approval.
'Oh's and 'Ah's immediately surface at the President's thoughtfulness.
"We will not give up so easily just because Natsume-kun has taken a girl to be his girlfriend!" She continued, getting into the heat of things.
Nods and cries of agreement accompanied the fiery statement.
"Now we know what Natsume-kun likes! So, as members of the Hyuuga Natsume Fan Club, we will become what Natsume-kun likes!"
"Yay!"
"Natsume-kun, we will love you forever!"
"Yay!"
"Sakura Mikan, be prepared!"
"Yay!"
"Let's all strive for this Valentine's Day!"
"YAY!"
"BE QUIET WILL YOU!" Someone shouted in annoyance from the outside.
-----------------------------
Meanwhile, at the elementary school's dormitory...
Natsume walks out of his room, on his way to the elementary branch.
He was in extremely high spirits, not that he showed it on his face.
After all, a dancing and singing Hyuuga Natsume would do nothing for his image, except shatter it into million pieces immediately.
Still, he could not keep a tinny, winny smirk from lingering at the edges of his mouth.
That baka doesn't even know that she is being used but whatever, as long as he benefits.
"Natsume! Matte!" At the sound of his best friend's call, Natsume turned around and waited for the running Ruka to catch up.
When Ruka caught up, panting slightly from the effort, he turned and continued to walk through the cherry blossoms covered walkway.
It was the cherry blossom season again. Natsume watched as the pink tinted flowers fluttered down with the gentle wind to land softly at his feet.
It was a sight even he would appreciate.
"You seem happy." Ruka remarked after a while, breaking the silence, his gaze assessing as he looked at Natsume.
"What is it?" Natsume drawled out instead, nimbly sidestepping the question.
He had seen the look in Ruka's eyes since he saw him, the look that says that he really wants to ask something but he has some difficulty asking it.
"I - um - would like to - um - borrow some rabbits from you." Ruka managed to stutter out after a while, a light embarrassed blush on his face.
Natsume slanted a look at Ruka in speculation.
As a three star, the allowance Ruka received was not a small sum.
For him to need money like this, it must be something really expensive. And Natsume was willing to bet that Imai had something to do with it.
And for Ruka to be embarrassed about asking, definitely Imai.
He simply looked at Ruka and waited for the reason.
Ruka fished around in his pockets before he took out a crumpled up piece of paper and handed it over silently to Natsume.
Natsume smoothed out the paper and read the neat handwriting and found himself letting out a snort of laughter. There, written in bold and underlined, was the title in Imai's recognizable handwriting:
LIST OF VALENTINE DAY'S GIFTS
1. 10 bottles of crab roe
2. A new set of tools
3. Financing for ongoing project.
4. Watermelons
"Watermelons?" Natsume lifted a brow at the weird request.
"She was complaining the weather was too hot lately." Ruka mumbled.
"Hn."
He turned back to the list.
The list went on and on, ending only at the last item, one that had been circled over and over again in red ink:
40. A diamond bracelet
That was not all.
At the end of the paper was a small note.
No roses. I am allergic.
Sometimes, Natsume really pitied Ruka, but who was he to say?
"I have gotten all of the items but the last." Ruka muttered miserably.
In silence, Natsume reached into his pocket and pulled out 600 hundred rabbits in notes and handed it over to Ruka, who gratefully accepted.
"Arigatou Natsume, I will pay you as soon as possible!" Ruka smiled.
"Don't bother." Natsume waved it off.
"What about Mikan?"
"What about the baka?"
"Aren't you going to give her something?"
"What for?" Natsume drawled out.
"She is your girlfriend now, and Valentine's day is tomorrow." Ruka stated, looking at Natsume in surprise.
"Doesn't mean I need to get her a gift. Besides, she probably doesn't know what valentine's day is." Natsume smirked as he thought of his baka "girlfriend".
"Oh...another thing, Hotaru wanted me to pass this to you." Ruka passed a small letter to Natsume, who looked at it suspiciously before accepting it.
What the hell was Imai doing sending letters to him all of a sudden?
Natsume,
If you ever make that baka cry, I will bash you through the wall with my newest invention.
P.S.: Further description of invention at the back. Sold at 1000 rabbits each. Payments please make to Imai Hotaru, Alice Academy Elementary Branch, Room 67.
Yours Truely, Imai.
P.P.S: You have been warned.
Sure enough, at the back was a manual.
"Ruka, your girlfriend is scary." Natsume said as he crunched up the letter in his hand and tossed it behind him.
Silence. Then:
"I try not to think about it."
