Chapter 3-The way he likes her to be…

After Mikan went back to her room, she took a warm bath and slipped into a wide pink t-shirt with lollipops and placed her hair in a very high bun—she's getting ready to sleep when she heard car engines and quickly faded away. 'Hm—looks like Tsubasa's visitors are going home.' Mikan thought before she opened her New Moon book and started reading.

…

"What?" Tsubasa asked. "What do you mean you want my sister??"

This time, the people that are left are our gang, Tsubasa, Misaki (Tsubasa's fixed girlfriend) , Kanami and some of Tsubasa's friends. "Oh come-on, Tsubasa, you know what I'm talking about." Natsume said which he followed a deep sigh. "Natsume—what the heck are you doing?" Hotaru asked. "Easy coz. I'm just asking for my prize that's all."

"What are you going to do with Mikan?" Tsubasa asked him. "Nothing serious."

"What if—I'm not going to give her to you? What will happen?" Tsubasa asked. Hey—giving her sister with a mysterious past is very serious.

"Hm—that would very unmanly if you face your back at your promise. But, if you can't afford to give me your sister—your girlfriend will do." Natsume said as he smirked at Misaki who quickly glared at him.

"Natsume—this is getting too way out of hand." Ruka suggested.

"Easy Ruka. I'll keep my tongue in my leash." Natsume said. Then, he turned to Tsubasa "Well?" Tsubasa sighed before he looked back at the raven "You know—this is kinda a hard decision. But—I signed the contract about it and I can't just turn my back about our deal so I'll try my best to let her talk with you."

"It's a good deal done, Sakura. Yawn~ well, it's getting late, till next time then." Natsume said as he bade the rest goodbye.

Knock

"Mikan?" Tsubasa called. There, he saw his dearest sister in her window in her window seat, hugging her bear stuff toy with pink ears and orange body; as she continue reading her book. "How was your party, nii?" Mikan asked. Tsubasa smiled as he entered her room.

It's been quite a while since he entered her room. With white wallpaper, tangerine carpet, her white four-poster bed with white lace hanging in each post. Toys and other cute things scattered but cutely arranged. That was Mikan. This is Mikan. Especially the strawberry scent that is everywhere in her large bed room. But she can't express her true self in others because—

"Did you have a race?" Mikan asked.

Tsubasa sat in the small floor cushion in front of Mikan and nodded. "So—how did it go?"

"Good, the best race I've been so far."

Mikan closed her book and said "What do you mean? Who you raced up with?"

"Someone crazy—no big thing." Boy, was he afraid of telling the name.

"So what did he set for his bet? A villa? A resort? What?"

"Well, this one asked something that is so hard to give. And it's quite troubling me." Tsubasa said. "You lost?" Mikan asked. Tsubasa nodded and said "He's asking for something big-time Mikan." Mikan face him, still hugging the doll and said to her brother "Why? What did he ask for?"

"He's asking for you— Mikan. He wants you to be his price." Tsubasa explained.

Mikan froze. "But I'm telling you—you won't like the way I'm going to get you." That's what he said.

"It's Hyuuga Natsume isn't it?" Mikan said. "Yes—he's the one who beat me. Damn, Mikan, I didn't know he'll ask for you. I thought of some material things but he—"

"YOU STUPID BROTHER!!! YOU JUST SOLD YOUR SISTER TO THE DEVIL!!!"

Mika sighed. She is now in front of the Hyuuga Mansion—ready to talk to her enemy. She rang the door bell and a guard greeted her. "May I help you—um??"

As we can see, with her usual outfit, she can't be described as a she nor a he. "I'm looking for Hyuuga Natsume. I have a meeting with him."

"Um—well, I don't know, sir, um, ma'am. I—" This time someone cut him off "Let her in. She's my cousin's special guest." Hotaru said. She is very pretty really. With that denim shorts and a white shirt with a green dollar symbol in her chest, and flip flops. "Um, yes, of course Ms. Imai."

With that, Mikan entered the Hyuuga mansion. With Hotaru in front of her. "You have some guts to face him, don't you Mikan." Hotaru said. "Eh? Um. I just don't want some complications. I'm here because I am his price." Mikan said. "Hm. I like it. Your flavors hot. Not too wild nor soft. I think we'll match." Hotaru said.

Mikan blushed a bit. She was nice. "Um—Imai-san. Can we be…um…—"

"Friends?" Hotaru asked. "Sure."

Mikan smiled at her as the raven gave her one too—but a small one though. "Well, we're here." Hotaru said as she open the door and that, gave her a view of a mini-casino.

"Yo— Sakura-san. We've been expecting you." Ruka said as he slid his arm over Hotaru's shoulder. Anna and Nonoko were smiling to her on the couch, playing poker. The boys, including Natsume, was in the billiard table. "And so, the swan in a ducklings clothing came." Natsume said. He then approached her "So—how did you like my plan??"

"I like it very much, Hyuuga, Very much." Mikan smirked and took off her brown over-coat and threw it in a sofa, along with her cap, eyeglasses and her bag. And now she fixed her hair with her hand as a comb, her white tank-top with a big red heart broken image in the back, her usual cargo pants and white fat-shoes. The other people gaped at her. How come she was so pretty in those clothes?

Natsume only smirked. "I was not wrong in picking you up."

Mikan shrugged and took Natsume's cue stick and positioned herself in the table. "Okay, let's just say, you won the first round Hyuuga. So what's the deal." She said before striking the white ball which hit the 9th ball which scored.

The gang heard Natsume chuckle and said "That's my girl."

"You'll be my slave until I get bored with you." Natsume said as he took a can of coke from his mini-fridge. "Uhh—I don't want something like that. I'll give you five wishes." Mikan proposed. "Nah—10."

"Five—take it or leave it."

ON the gang, Yuu whispered "They're quite scary aren't they."

"Fine. Five wishes. And I have a big idea about my first. Can I have it now?" Natsume asked. Mikan nodded. He smirked and turned to the gang "Leave us."

AT first, they looked at each other before Hotaru took the first step out. "Now what's the wish—now that it's only the two of us."

Natsume neared her and bowed at her level "Are you sure you want to grant this wish of mine?" He asked. "Of course I do."

"Fine—Kiss me."

Mikan looked at him. She was actually expecting that he would as her massage him or fetch a chore for him. (Mikan is quite naïve—she's facing a playboy for hell's sake !!)

'If I back out—he will surely win this round.'

When Natsume felt the time he smirked and shook his head "I knew you can't do that."

Natsume turned his back at her but he felt a hand turned him. And the last thing he knew was that a lip crushed on his own.

Mikan has her hand on both sides of his face so that he can't escape her.

At first, Natsume was shocked but after a second or two, he asked for entrance—but this time, she let him in.

This was actually Mikan's first try for a French kiss—and she was good at it. Why? Because Natsume was enjoying it. And he always go deep.

But 30 seconds past and Mikan parted the kiss. Natsume was quite spoiled—it was the best kiss so far.

By the small blush in his face, Mikan can judge his feelings—he was very spoiled at the kiss and his eyes tells her that he wants more. Mikan was about to go with a smirk pasted on her face but the raven stopped her and this time, he started the kiss—too bad it's only lip locking. Their lips were 5 inches apart as he whispered "I want more."

Mikan smiled as she neared her lips to his, and Natsume was also smirking. But when the gap between them was small, Mikan moved her lips near Natsume's left ear and whispered as seductive as she could.

"Sorry Hyuuga, but I just win this round."

Quite a spoiler??
