Chapter 3: Sweet Revenge?

Hotaru Imai and Ruka Nogi entered the room. Mikan peeped outside the door and saw a mob of fan girls trying to follow the two. She immediately forgot about her revenge because she finally saw Hotaru. It made her very happy while Nonoko and Anna are getting worried on what may happen.

"H..Ho...taru?? Ru…ka..?" Mikan said, still daze of Hotaru and Ruka's presence. She wanted to hug Hotaru, but she remembered not to, especially since fan girls can see her every move.

Natsume slammed the door shut. "Tell your friends to scram. I want to speak to my friends in peace." Natsume ordered.

"Demo….." Mikan pouted. She stuck her tongue out at Natsume. Natsume glared at her. She also noticed that Hotaru was studying her face, her every move and actions while Ruka kept glancing at her.

"I'm so sorry! I don't want you to go, but my Tyrant (points at Natsume) wants to!" Mikan said to Anna and Nonoko.

"It's fine with us, Miaka! Ano….Can I leave Nonoko's potion here?" Anna asked as she whispered it to Mikan.

"Hai! But why?" Mikan asked.

"I always….um…accidentally drink it…. And…." Anna said while blushing.

"It's ok… you don't have to tell me if it's embarrassing…." Mikan said while patting Anna on the back.

"Sayonara." Natsume said as he opened the door for Anna and Nonoko.

"Big meanie!" Mikan said in a soft voice. Unfortunately Natsume heard it.

"What did you say?" Natsume asked getting pissed.

"Uh…..she's Houdini?" Mikan said to cover her up.

"Whatever" Natsume said as he turned his back and went to the living room with Hotaru and Ruka.

"Since when did I become your friend?" Hotaru said in a cold voice.

"Shut up" Natsume snapped in an equally cold voice.

"Where's the food." Hotaru asked. It was more like a demand than a question.

"She'll bring it here." Natsume answered still in a cold voice.

"Uh… Hai! Mikan said in a cheery voice to uplift the cold atmosphere.

"Do you want something to drink?" Mikan asked as she went to the kitchen. Yet, nobody answered her.

"Wow. Anna and Nonoko are right. They don't talk to anybody…" Mikan thought as she went to the kitchen to prepare their food.

Back At Hotaru Ruka and Natsume

"So, why did you choose her? She is just an ordinary fan girl. She doesn't even look good. She looks like a geek in those big glasses." Ruka asked Natsume.

"She doesn't look like a fan girl." Hotaru objected but still in a bored tone.

"That's the reason. She is not falling for me. The maids I get are so annoying. I hate it when they squeal and giggle when ever I call them." Natsume said while flipping through some magazines.

"Could it be that you're getting ugly?" Hotaru asked with a smirk on her face.

"I doubt that." Natsume said as he glared at Hotaru. Hotaru shot a glare at him too.

"Could it be that she's the one?" Ruka asked his raven colored hair friends. The glare contest between the two stopped the moment they heard Ruka. They both stared at Ruka.

"Could it be that she's Mikan-chan? Or a girl that has the same personality like Mikan? Ruka asked.

"I doubt that. Her name is Miaka Asahina. She said it herself." Natsume countered Ruka.

"Why not try testing her?" Hotaru suggested.

"You test her, Ruka" Natsume said with a smirk on his face.

"Matte! Why me?" Ruka asked

"You know I don't like talking to fan girls!" Ruka protested in hopes that they'll call off the order.

"You started it." Hotaru said while taking her Baka Gun out of her bag and pointing it to Ruka.

"Fine, Fine…." Ruka said as he moved the Baka Gun away from him. He walked toward the kitchen, a part of him didn't want to move any further but he knows that Hotaru will shot him with her Baka Gun. He didn't want another bump added to his head.

"Uh, Hey." Ruka said. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk.

"Don't strain yourself. If you don't want to talk, I'm fine with that!" Mikan said as she flashed one of her cute, charming smiles.

Ruka was captured by this smile, so he got interested talking to Mikan.

"Umm… No, I really want to talk! If that's ok with you…" Ruka asked as he scratched his head, a little bit embarrassed.

"Hon tou? Arigatou Ruka-pyo…. I mean Ruka-kun!" Mikan quickly said so Ruka won't get suspicious.

"Um… What was that last part?" Ruka asked Mikan in suspicion.

"Nothing! You should get going now! Mikan said as she pushed Ruka out of the kitchen. "Whew! That was close!" Mikan thought.

She quickly grabbed the cake and served it to them. She went to the kitchen again to look for some drinks. She immediately grabbed the bottle on the table and poured it on their cups.

"It looks delicious!" Ruka said as he cut the cake. Hotaru didn't say anything but it was obvious that she likes it.

"Arigatou Gozaima…" Mikan was about to finish her sentence, when she remembered what she, Anna and Nonoko did to the cake.

Flashback:

"So, what are you going to do with the cake again?" Mikan asked while cleaning Natsume's room.

"Simple, Mikan-chan. I'm going to bake a cake and add some special ingredients to it." Anna said

"Special? I thought we're going to make a nasty cake?" Mikan asked

"The special ingredient is Nonoko's blasting potion. After slicing it, the piece of cake that was sliced off will countdown and explode!! Anna said with an evil grin on her face.

"Hon tou? Great plan!" Mikan said, giving them both thumbs up.

End of Flashback

Mikan's face turned pale again. She tried to stop the three from slicing the cake, but they ignored her and sliced the cake. Natsume was about to eat it when he heard a ticking sound.

"Do you hear that?" Natsume asked.

"You hear it too?" Ruka asked too.

"It's coming from the cake." Natsume stated.

"Hotaru!!" Mikan shouted and threw the piece of cake at Natsume.

"What the…" Natsume said, getting pissed. Ruka was laughing at Natsume. Then, the piece of cake exploded at their faces. Mikan tried not to laugh, but she can't help herself.

"Hahaha! You two look so funny!" Mikan said while laughing.

"Yes. You two look funny." Hotaru said while looking for something in her bag.

"Yeah! We really are funny-looking!" Ruka said while wiping the cake off his face. Natsume looked like he was getting angry, but he threw a piece of cake at Mikan. Natsume smirked, but Mikan got mad. She threw a piece of cake at Natsume, but it ended on Ruka's face. They we're now throwing cake at each other, but stopped when Mikan noticed Hotaru was looking for something.

"What are you looking for, Imai-san?" Mikan asked, her face was covered with icing.

"My camera." Hotaru said, in a bored tone. Natsume and Ruka's eyes widened after hearing it. "I must have forgotten it. I'm going to get it." Hotaru said as she went to the door. She opened it, but a mob of fan girls we're waiting outside. She quickly closed the door before the fan girls realized it was open.

"Fan girls?" Mikan asked. "I have an idea" Mikan said to Hotaru with a smirk on her face. She went outside, carrying the exploding cake.

"They want me to give this cake to all of you." Mikan said, restraining her self from laughing. Natsume, Ruka and Hotaru was at the door, peeping.

"Really?? Natsume must love me so much!!" a fan girl said.

"What? It was obviously from Ruka to me!" another fan girl said.

"Are you kidding? It's from my idol, Imai-san!" another girl said. Soon, they we're fighting for the cake. Mikan quickly went inside and giggled. Moments later, the four heard a loud BOOM. Ruka and Mikan laughed hard, while Hotaru and Natsume smiled.

"I have to clean myself! Natsume can't see me like this!" a fan girl said.

"Me too! Ruka my love won't like it!" another fan girl said. Soon a lot of fan girls we're leaving.

"It's safe to go out now!" Mikan said, looking very proud of what she did.

"Yes. Arigatou, Miaka." Hotaru said, with a curve forming at her delicate lips. It was a smile from Hotaru. Natsume and Ruka we're shocked to see her talk to somebody, much more, smile.

"Be careful around this perverts." Hotaru said with a smirk on her face and left. She can feel Natsume and Ruka's glare at her.

"What does she mean?" Mikan asked, obviously confused.

"Nothing!" Ruka said, flashing one of his charming smiles at Mikan. Mikan slightly blushed.

"I'm thirsty." Natsume said, ignoring Mikan's question.

"Hai!" Mikan said, saluting like a soldier to humor him. She grabbed their drinks and gave it to them.

Gakuen Park,

"So Natsume has a new maid?" said a girl with pink wavy hair, beautiful golden eyes, curvy figure.

"Yes, Nomoru-san." A girl said.

"I want to find more about her... She might be her." The girl said.

"I doubt that, Nomoru-san, she has glasses and no pigtails!" a girl said.

"Better safe than sorry." The girl said.

Back at Natsume's room.

Mikan was cleaning Natsume's room but stopped when she saw that Nonoko's potion was missing. She tried to find it, but she didn't let Natsume noticed that she was looking for something. Just then, she remembered that she took a similar bottle before and served it to Natsume's visitors. She hurriedly went to Natsume and Ruka.

"Have you drunk that?" Mikan asked them getting worried.

"Not yet. Why?" Ruka asked.

"Oh, really? What a relief!" Mikan sighed in relief. Then they heard a knock on Natsume's balcony door.

"Can I speak to Natsume? It was the same pink haired girl at the Gakuen park. The balcony door was still closed but they can hear her.

"Stay here." Natsume said to Mikan. It seemed that Natsume doesn't want to let the girl know that Mikan's in the room. Natsume opened the balcony door and closed it immedietly. Mikan got curious, so she tried to eavesdrop at their conversation.

"I'll do everything for you Natsume." The girl said.

"I never like you and never will." Natsume said in a cold voice.

"You will be mine I'll do…" the girl said but Mikan didn't hear the rest of the sentence because she saw Ruka about to drink his refreshment. She tried to stop him but it was too late. He drank it.

"Ruka!!" Mikan screamed. Mikan quickly went to Ruka's side.

"Ruka! Don't die!! I have to call Anna-chan or Nonoko-chan!!" Mikan said. She was about to go outside but somebody touched her hand. She looked back and checked who touched her.

"D….o….n't" he said. Mikan was surprised...

I'm a naughty author am I? It's another cliffie! Can you guess what happens??

"Who touched her?" "What will happen to ruka?" I bet those questions are playing in your mind!! Hehehhe
