Summary: She's the top actress in celebrity world. He's a world-known painter. But they still don't know each other. And it seems that ONLY Hotaru and an Unsaid business are all what they are waiting for. ;) NxM.
A/N: I actually, have NO idea about this chapter. :)) I just read snitchy-kun's and Eclipse du Coeur's reviews. Haha. And I was like "Oh-kay! I'm going to update! Hoho." That's why, I can say that… this chapter is dedicated for them.
To snitchy-kun and Eclipse du Coeur- Hoho. As I said –or typed- I actually have no idea about this chapter. So, I'm going to type WHATEVER words came into my mind. Haha. Well, I'm always like that anyways. I also don't read my chapters, unless they're published. That's why, it may be (well, it always is) pathetic but I hope that you'll like it. :))
Thanks for my reviewers. A review after this chapter will be great. :D
Disclaimer: OWNING Gakuen Aliceis my dream and will always be.
Enjoy~!

Chapter Three: He's LUCKY and She's NOT
"Oi, I've got you a model."
Natsume looked at Ruka and grinned.
"Really?" Even if it's out of his character, he couldn't hide the cheeriness in his voice. Well, why would he even pretend? It's Hotaru, his cousin. He knows that Hotaru knew that he's searching for a model for FIVE FREAKING MONTHS already. And… he's desperate right now. He even asked for help.
"Of course."
That's why, there is NO freaking way that he will let this chance pass.
He cleared his throat. "Oh."
If only he's NOT the Hyuuga Natsume, he might be tearing up right now, kneeling down and praising the Imai Hotaru…. But no way. That will be totally out of his character.
"That's right, and I know you're really desperate right now, and you're really pitiful that's why I helped you…"
Natsume's eye twitched. He'll let that one. He'll just think that it's a compliment, even though wherever side you'll look at, it is and will never be a compliment.
"… but of course, you know me."
"Yeah, yeah. What's the catch?" he asked.
He heard Hotaru smirked. "You knew, eh? Come here in my office. I'll wait for you," and with that, she ended the call.
Okay. He needs to go now, because he knew her too well. Why, you asked?
… They're cousins.
And she never wanted to wait.

Natsume and Ruka arrived, exactly 20 minutes after the call. They went to Hotaru's office immediately.
"I'm here, now talk. What's your catch?"
Hotaru chuckled. "Oh? Really straightforward, I see. You can sit first if you want."
The two guys shuddered. Something's wrong and they both know it. HOTARU JUST CHUCKLED! SHE EVEN OFFERED THE A SIT! Usually, they will sit without her offer.
"I-I-I tagged along, Hotaru," Ruka smiled. Damn. He's stammering.
"So, I can see…"
"Before making out comes into your mind, allow me to finish my business here first."
"Oh? Let me hear it."
The guys sweatdropped. What?
Suddenly…
… Hotaru smirked.

"Tch. Your faces are funny. I can get millions –no, billions- with this. Now, now. Be good dogs and sit. Let's get down to business."
Ruka reddened because of embarassment while a vein popped out Natsume's head. How did they let their guard off of Hotaru's blackmailing-and-money-obssesed-so-I'll-get-pictures-and-sell-it wrath?
Tch. Whatever.
"Okay."
"So, I know that you wanna say something. Say it now."
"…"
"Uhmm, Hotaru, I'll say it for Natsume. About the model you're saying, he wanted her to be…ehrr, extra-ordinary.."
Hotaru just stared at them with blank face. "… Krystala? Or Akazukin Chacha?"
Ruka laughed and said teasingly, "Pag-ibig, Katapangan, Pag-asa ang aking panawagan…Magical Princess Holy UP!"
Natsume glared, "Shut up, Ruka."
"Yeah, yeah."
"I just want her to NOT throw herself at me," he said, turning to Hotaru.
"Heh? Is that all? Hmmm."
"Yes. That's all. Now, tell me. What do you want?"
"Tch. I just want you to allow this model that I got for you to stay in your island for FOUR months."
"…" Ruka and Natsume are speechless. What the heck?
"I-i-is that all?" Ruka stuttered. Hotaru didn't ask for money, BUT she ASKED for the SAKE of other.
"Yes."
"No money? No crabs?" Ruka asked again while Natsume just watched.
"Why? You want me to have them? I'll be more than glad to have them," Hotaru just answered, while the two are, once again, shocked.
Natsume cleared his throat and said, "So let's make it clear. I'll just have to let her stay on my island for a while, nothing more, nothing less? She'll be my model for my painting BUT you need to make sure that she'll NEVER throw herself at me. That's all?" he asked.
"Yes. That is all."
"Okay then. There's no one using the house there and I don't really care if she stayed there as long as she won't stick her nose on my businesses."
Hotaru noted in the back of her mind to warn Mikan. "Okay."
"Okay then. We're finished. I'll take care of everything. Two weeks from now, we'll meet on the island."
"Okay," Hotaru answered.
Natsume walked to the door and stopped when he remembered something.
"You've got me a model. And I think that she already agreed. Imai, she knows about the painting, right? And she still agreed?" He asked.
Damn. That one slipped off of my mind. Hotaru thought, but she still answered, "Yes."
"Hn." And with that, Natsume left with Ruka (Ruka kissed Hotaru's cheek first, before he followed Natsume, of course. :D)

Mikan drove all the way back to Hotaru's office because she forgot her key. A stupid thing, right?
She's curreently at the parking lot and it seems that luck isn't really on her side. The lot's full, and she have nowhere to park. Still, she's driving around to search.
When suddenly, one of the cars parked moved back.
BAM!
The car hit hers.
"What the hell?" she shrieked.
She stepped out of the car, the same time the driver of the another stepped out of his.
She'll definitely make this man pay.
Such luck she has today.

Akazukin Chacha – It's also an anime… from long time ago. Haha. Ruka said "Pag-big, Katapangan, Pag-asa ang aking panawagan… Magical Princess Holy UP!" In english, it means "Let Love, Courage and Hope - Magical Princess Holy Up!" This one is such a CUTE anime. :D
HAHA. Typograpichal errors, missing words/letters and wrong grammars… Sorry about that. This is UNedited.
~ Author's Note ~
Well, this one is short. Sorry about that. Haha. I, honestly, read the reviews 2 hours ago… and it's already 3:56AM here in Philippines. :DD I wanna sleep.. *pouts* So, sorry. This chapter is lame, I'm sleepy. (Though, I know that all of my chapters are lame. Haha. Sleepy or not. XD)
I don't know what I typed, and I'll just read this later.
A review will be awesome, please leave some… Oh, wait. That rhymes! Haha. :))
Jaa~ Muahh. God bless, everyone. Please look forward for my next chapter.
