Chapter 4
Recap…
"Hey mom, after this… can we go to…Aoi's house?" Youichi asked carefully. I wonder why…
"Huh?...Why do you suddenly want to go there?" Mikan asked him.
"I wanna play in Aoi's house. She said she has a big playground" Youichi told her, almost in a whisper.
Mikan looked at Natsume. "But I think their house is full of barbies for Aoi" she said to Youichi while looking at Natsume.
Aoi pulled Natsume's sleeves. "Dad, we have toy cars and bikes there right? And those action movies for boys right? RIGHT?" she asked.
Natsume looked at Aoi. She was truly persistent about it. By just looking at her eyes, you can tell she really wants to play with Youichi. Natsume sighed. "Fine…"
"Alright!!" She and Youichi grinned at each other.
End of Recap…
Fast forward
The noon has gotten late. And Aoi and Youichi were very excited to go to Aoi's house. When they arrived, the first thing the kids did was to run towards the door and made their parents hurry.
"Come on dad! Hurry!! Give me the key!!" Aoi jumped up and down.
Natsume shook his head in disbelief. "I should've never agreed to this…" he said. Mikan sweat dropped. "I'm sure it'll be fine…I think..." she said.
Natsume rolled his eyes. "I hope they won't break anything…" he said. Then, he gave the key to Aoi.
Little Aoi hurried to open the door. And when she heard the door knob 'tick', she hurriedly turned the knob and pushed the door. When the door opens, several maids are aligned and bowed to them.
"Welcome, master, mistress and dear guests" they all said in unison.
Youichi's eyes sparkled when he saw the main hall. It was indeed marvellous and glamorous.
"Nice house, Aoi!" he exclaimed.
"You haven't seen all of it yet." Aoi grinned. Then, she ran towards the grand staircase, "Come on, and let's go!" she invited Youichi to come with her.
"Alright!!" Youichi ran after Aoi.
"Yo-chan, try not to mess things up there" Mikan told them. Then, the maids bowed to her and said; "Ma'am, your shoes please"
Mikan blinked once then nodded. "Oh, my shoes" she said then took off her shoes and wore the blue slippers the maids placed in front of her feet. "Thank you" Mikan bowed to them. The maids bowed back at her then walked away.
Then, a middle aged man went towards her and Natsume.
"Young master, Mistress Koizumi is here" the man said.
Natsume's expression turned sour. "That woman is HERE?" he asked, emphasizing the word 'here'.
The man nodded. "Yes. I told her what you want me to say to her and tell her to leave but she insisted on staying until you come back, young master" he said.
"That woman never gives up, does she…" Natsume growled. "Where's that woman?" he asked. The middle aged man pointed at the guest room with an open palm. "In the guest room, sir"
Natsume nodded. "You may leave"
The man nodded back and left towards a random room. Probably the kitchen. Mikan looked at Natsume. "Woman?" she asked.
Natsume neared his eyes on the guest room's door. "You don't even want to know who she is and what she is" he said.
'What she IS?' Mikan thought.
Natsume walked towards the guest room, leaving Mikan in the middle of the main hall. Then, after a short while when Natsume entered the guest room…
"NATSUMEEEE!!!!" A woman shouted with joy.
"Get off me, you witch!" Natsume said. Mikan's eyes widened when she heard a thud. She looked on the floor and saw Natsume under a woman.
Mikan placed her palm in front of her mouth. "Oh my-"
Then, the woman saw Mikan. She suddenly glared at her. "Natsume, who is this ugly lady?" the woman asked.
Natsume's face twitched and pushed the woman away from him. "Don't get her involve in your witch voo doo doll abra kadabra, Koizumi." He said coldly.
"DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE TWO TIMING ME!?" The woman known as 'Koizumi' asked Natsume furiously.
"I don't two time. I don't even like you. Not even a percent chance" Natsume said to her coldly.
Mikan trembled animatedly with dotted eyes. "M-maybe I came at the wrong time…" she sweat dropped. Mikan was ready to walk away but Koizumi, let's call her Luna, shouted something…
"Don't turn your back on me, you big fat choco blob!" Luna said.
Mikan's patience dropped to zero. "That is IT. I am leaving! Youichi, let's go!!!!" she called her son. Imagine her voice reaching the third floor playhouse.
Then, footsteps were heard. Youichi peeked at the stairs. "But mom, we haven't been here for like 20 minutes and we're already leaving?" he asked.
"Don't talk back to me. Just do as I say or you'll get grounded, young man!" Mikan said angrily.
Youichi sighed. "Mom's mad again…" he said. Aoi looked at him. "Sorry Aoi. But I have to go now." He said apologetically.
Aoi pouted. "Aw, do you really have to?" she asked. Youichi nodded at her. "Yeah, I know mom's routine when she's mad. And I can't deny on her orders" he said.
"Oh… okay…" Aoi made a pouting face and looked down.
Youichi ran down the stairs and went towards his mother. "Come on mom, let's go…" he said.
Aoi watched Youichi and Mikan leave. Then, the grand door closed. She immediately glared at Luna. And so did Natsume. They both threw glare daggers at her.
Mikan's House…
Mikan was still mad about the insult she heard from a red head. Though, that read head is like a Blondie and her tongue was as sharp as a knife. And Mikan won't even give a damn about the world that moment.
Youichi shook his head and gave his mother more sticks for Mikan to break. He had a piece of paper and wrote something on it as soon as Mikan snaps a stick. He was counting…
"That red head…" Mikan growled under her breath. "She doesn't know who she's messing with!" she shouted. Then, she snaps one more stick.
"Mom, you should do something with that patience of yours…" Youichi climbed up a chair and massaged her back to make her relaxed.
"I have enough patience for a fool but not enough for a bitch" Mikan said angrily.
Youichi sighed. "…This will never change… EVER"
Natsume's Mansion…
The Hyuuga family ate with Luna Koizumi in their big 20 seat dining table. The dining hall has a row of chandelier candles and red curtains on the window. The maids came with food on trays and placed the food on the table.
Natsume was sitting in the middle while Aoi sat at his right side and Luna on his left. They were very quiet. Not even a single word was heard.
"Alex, more wine please…" Aoi raised her empty glass a bit as the middle aged man poured some strawberry wine for her. "Thank you…" Aoi sipped her from her glass of wine and continued eating.
Natsume noticed that Aoi was almost finished with her food. "Aoi, make sure you brush your teeth before you got bed." He said.
Aoi nodded. "Yes father"
Then, Luna started a conversation with Natsume. "Natsume, who is that hag with your earlier this noon?" she asked.
"She is none of your concern and business…" he told her coldly.
"Tell me, Natsume! I am your fiancé—"
"—Fiancé before…not now" Natsume continued her speech.
"So what? Your late wife left you before she even died. So who cares if I was your fiancé before? Your bitch of a wife left---"Luna was cutted off by Natsume's loud, angry and muscular voice.
"Shut up! Don't talk about Hayami like you're better than her!" he said.
Luna raised her chin. "Oh, but I AM better than that hag"
"Better than a broom. But worse than a brainless twit" Natsume tried to piss her off.
Luna gasped in disbelief. Aoi fake-coughed and said; "Definitely. You are better than a peasant but worse than a pitiful street dog" she said.
"Aoi, you too!?" Luna asked her.
"..Ever since" Aoi sipped another wine from her glass. "I'm taking my father's foots steps. Not yours" she added. Luna stood up angrily and stomped towards her room.
Alex, the middle aged man, noticed a hint of laughter. "Once a snob, always a snob" he said.
"You got that right, Alex" Aoi chuckled. Natsume smirked. "Definitely, Alex"
"Hahaha" Aoi laughed.
Natsume gave a "Heh" and looked at Aoi. "Time for bed now. Go brush your teeth" he said. Aoi nodded and did what she was told.
Next day…
Mikan was alone in her house. Youichi was already in school. So, when she was alone, she played a CD in her DVD player. She played some RnB and Rock, Rap, Electric and Pop songs. Then, Mikan grabbed the broom and swept the floor.
"Oh wait. Tonight's the party! Oh cool!" she told herself excitedly.
Then, the door bell rang…
"Coming!" Mikan said loudly then ran towards the door. When she opened the door, she saw a delivery man holding a basket of citrus fruits and a bouquet of white flowers.
"Huh?" she looked at the delivery boy.
"Ma'am, someone wants to send you this" the delivery boy said and gave the basket and bouquet of flowers to Mikan.
Mikan just nodded but unsure. "Um...Okay?" she took the basket and bouquet.
"Have a nice morning, Miss" the delivery boy bowed then went back to his motor and went away.
Mikan looked at the basket. "Who might have sent this?" she asked herself. Then, she saw a piece of paper folded into four. She unfolded it and read it. It said:
Good Morning sleepy head,
Sorry about yesterday. It wasn't my idea that Luna would come to my house. Oh yeah, Aoi also wants you and Youichi to come over today after school if you have free time. Make sure you eat those fruits I gave you. I picked them from our garden. And Aoi suggested giving them to you. So literally, the basket is from Aoi and the flowers are from me. Well, see you later.
Sincerely Yours,
Natsume and Aoi Hyuuga
Upon reading the letter, Mikan felt light inside. So, she decided to call Natsume's house…
"Hyuuga Residence" The maid answered the phone.
"May I speak to Natsume Hyuuga?" Mikan asked.
"Please hold on" The maid said then placed the phone down and called Natsume. Then, not long, Natsume picked up the phone.
"Hello?" he said.
"Good morning, Natsume" she greeted.
"Hn…"
"Thanks for the fruits and flowers. Don't worry I'm not mad at you." Mikan told him.
"…Fine." He just said.
"Hey, can you come with me later this evening?" she asked.
"To where?" he asked.
"To a disco party." She said.
"What time?"
"9 pm"
"Fine, I'll go with you" he said.
"Gee thanks! Well, I'll see you this afternoon." She said with a hint of excitement.
"Okay… ja" Natsume hanged up the phone.
Mikan hanged up the phone and continued cleaning the house. She happily swept the whole house and did the other daily chores. Then, she went to pick up Youichi from school…
"Honey, I'll bring you to Aoi's house. Is it fine with you?" Mikan asked Youichi while driving.
Youichi's eyes widened with excitement. "Are you kidding me!? It more than fine! It's excellent!!" he said.
Mikan laughed at what he said. "Okay then. Have fun with her okay? Me and Natsume will just go to the disco this evening" she said. "Be a good boy, okay?"
Youichi nodded. "Yes mom"
When they arrived at the Hyuuga mansion, Youichi got down the car and rang the door bell. Aoi opened the door and hugged him.
"Yo-chan!!!" she exclaimed.
Natsume came out after. Mikan pressed the horn. "Natsume!" she called. He walked towards her car. "So, where are we heading? The disco isn't open yet until 9 pm. We still got 7 hours left" he told her.
"I know that. I have to get my hair and nails done first." she told him. "Well, what clothes would you wear?" she asked.
"I dunno…" he just told her.
Mikan tilted her head. "That's not right. I know! My cousin has some clothes that would fit you! Oh and let's go to the parlour to see what hairstyle fits your style!" she exclaimed.
"Are you sure about that, little lady?" Natsume arched a brow.
"Sure I'm sure!" she told him.
"Fine" He said in defeat. Then, Natsume faced the kids. "Aoi, Youichi, make sure you sleep at 10 pm. And don't forget to brush your teeth" he said. The two kids nodded and ran inside the mansion.
Natsume went inside Mikan's Mercedes Benz. (She has two cars) Then, they drove off.
Parlour
Mikan and Natsume came in. They sat down on the couch. Then, three girls came to them. One raven haired, a carnation pink haired and a daw blue haired girl. Mikan stood up and hugged the three of them one by one.
"Long time no see, you guys" she said happily.
"I know. It's been 3 years. How's Yo-chan by the way?" the blue haired girl, Nonoko, asked.
The pink haired girl, Anna, nodded. "Yeah, how is he?"
Mikan smiled. "He's all grown up now. He's already 5 years old. And going to be six next year in April" she said.
"That's great! Can we come to your house on his birthday?" Anna asked.
"Sure. Youichi will be very glad" Mikan told them.
"So much for that, who's the man behind you?" the raven haired girl, Hotaru, asked Mikan.
Mikan turned her head to Natsume. He arched his brow with a 'what' look.
Mikan chuckled a bit. "Well, he's a new friend of mine" she said.
Anna and Nonoko neared their eyes on her. "Oh really?" they asked mischievously and sheepishly.
Hotaru smirked. "Don't you mean BOYfriend?"
Mikan gave a 'pfft' and shook her head. "Of course not. I just met him when it was like…last Sunday"
Anna and Nonoko neared their selves to her side. "Ooohhhhhh?" they said, having the hint that they don't believe her.
"What? Do I look like I'm lying?" Mikan sweat dropped. Anna and Nonoko grinned and arched their brows twice.
Mikan groaned. "Fine, then don't. Anyways…"
Natsume stood up. Mikan smiled. "Well, this is Natsume Hyu-"
"WHAT!? NATSUME HYUUGA!?"
Mikan fell back animatedly. "Whoa!"
Wham!
"HE'S the Natsume Hyuuga from Bench/!!?!" Anna asked, nearly shouting.
Mikan stood up. "Y-you know him?" she asked.
"Duh! He's like the hottest model in Japan since!!"
Mikan's face twitched. "So you've read the magazine again?"
"Well, yeah! Of course! That magazine has like the hottest hits, guys, jewellery, clothes, shoes, couple, artist, videos, movies, songs and everything!!" Nonoko exclaimed.
Natsume rolled his eyes. 'Girls….' He thought.
"Okay, okay. I get it, I get it" Mikan tried to calm the two girls down.
"Straight to the point, woman. Why are you here?" Hotaru asked her.
"I just want to fix my hair. You guys are the best, you know that?" Mikan laughed. "And that is why I brought Natsume with me because we're goin' to the disco at 'Night's fever'" she added.
Anna suddenly jumped and squealed. She was the hyper type. During Mikan's college days, she and the other three girls were the hottest girls. Mikan was the sweet and fighter type. Hotaru was the quiet and intelligent type. And Nonoko was the out-going and jamming type.
"Oh my god! Can I come?" Nonoko asked.
"Sure. The guys wanted me to go anyway" Mikan grinned."If you wouldn't come, I'd be the only woman there" she added. The girls chuckled.
Natsume looked at her. 'Guys?'
"Great! Then let's start!" Anna said excitedly.
Hair
Mikan was sitting on a parlour chair while reading a magazine. Anna rolled rollers on her hair. While Nonoko placed glossy cuticles on Mikan's nails while Hotaru massaged Mikan's feet. Natsume was just sitting beside Mikan, also reading a magazine. His right foot over his left leg. He turned one page of the magazine and continued to read.
Anna leaned beside Mikan's ear. "I didn't know you know him!" she squeaked.
Mikan sweat dropped. "Well, I don't know he's a bench/ model. And I'm not familiar with models. You know how I am. And, I just knew it when I asked what he does for a living" she said.
"Still! You could've told us!" Nonoko squawked.
Hotaru sighed. "You know these two. They're obsessed with hot guys. Especially if that unlucky guy is a model" she said.
Mikan laughed. "Damn, you two are toast."
Anna and Nonoko looked at her. "How come?" they asked in unison.
"Well duh, Ruka told me that the girls you went 'yo momma' with is coming" Mikan replied.
Anna and Nonoko looked at each other. "Oh, those Hoshino sisters. Ugh…" they both said in disgust.
"Bingo. And guess what, Ruka invited the Kazama brothers too" Mikan winked.
"Oh fucking lord! I better dress like a Barbie!" Anna said in horrify.
Mikan, Nonoko and Hotaru snapped their fingers. "Lights switch"
"I got a plan!" Anna suddenly said loudly.
"What?" the three girls looked at her.
"The hot-boy-invasion plan" Anna placed her hands on her hips. Mikan looked at Hotaru. "Isn't that the—"
"I know," Hotaru cut Mikan's sentence. "It was the plan when we were in college…"
"Plan?" Natsume suddenly asked. They looked at him.
"You were eavesdropping?" Mikan arched a brow at him.
"I didn't. You girls were squawking so much that I can't concentrate on what I am reading. So, I heard everything" he told her.
The all said "Ohh…."
"Well, anyways, are you hungry?" Mikan asked him.
"Not really…" he said. Anna grinned. "I have some cookies freshly baked just now. Want some?" she asked.
Natsume stared at her. "Fine then…"
Anna skipped towards the kitchen and got the cookies. "Here. Have some. You can have it all if you like. I have lots more!" she said.
"I'll just bring this home for the kids…" Natsume smirked.
Anna and Nonoko looked at him. "K-kids?" they asked.
"What? ...I'll give these cookies to Youichi and Aoi…" he said to them.
"W-who's Aoi?" Nonoko asked.
"My daughter…"he answered.
"Wh-what about Youichi? Is he y-your s-son now?" Anna asked.
"…So-called..." Natsume turned a page of the magazine.
The two girls jaw dropped and neared towards Mikan's ear. "Oh my God, Mikan! This guy's got a crush on you!!" They said.
Mikan almost threw the magazine. "WHAT?"
"Look, he treats your son as his own son. And he goes with you if you want him to go with you. Your kids are best of friends or whatever and I know you've been inside his house!" Anna told Mikan.
"Yeah!" Nonoko agreed. Mikan sighed. "Look, he has a crazy lunatic woman inside his house that she doesn't want me near him, he can't possibly like me" she whispered to them.
"I heard that, Mikan" Natsume suddenly said while still reading the magazine.
Mikan froze. "Ugh…"
"True, I got a crazy lunatic inside my house, but I would never marry a woman who has a broom's I.Q." Natsume said coldly. "Strike that; A woman who has an I.Q. lower than a broom's" he said.
"O..kay?" Mikan sweat dropped.
Anna shook Mikan a bit. "See! You have a chance to him!!!" she said.
"B-but I'm not interested in him—"
"—Yet!" Nonoko said.
Mikan jaw dropped. "What? ARE YOU PEOPLE CRAZY!?" she said, almost standing up but Anna and Nonoko pushed her back to the chair and whispered something.
"You don't know what things would happen you would get! Imagine the fame you will get!" Anna visualized.
"Yeah~! And imagine how you can beat down those Hoshino sisters!" Nonoko said in excitement.
"Yeah but, it's not right to trick someone. I will do what you say if I will have feelings for him sooner or later" Mikan told them.
Anna and Nonoko was already at the altar bowing their head while kneeling with their hands together when Mikan looked at them. She sweat dropped.
"….Oh God."
"You know how they are, Mikan. You can't win" Hotaru told Mikan as she continued to massage her feet.
Then out of nowhere, Anna and Nonoko appeared again. "So, will you do it?"
"…Fine. I will if there's electric sparks, deal?" Mikan said in defeat.
"Dead deal" the two said.
"Oi, are you guys finished yet?" Natsume asked. He stopped reading magazines. He got bored reading it repeatedly for 5 times. Anna nodded happily. "Yeah, she's done. All she needs are her clothes." She said. Nonoko pushed Natsume down on the chair. "You're next, pretty boy" she said.
"What-" Natsume was cutted off by Nonoko.
"Nuh-uh, handsome. If you have to go to the disco with lots a people, you have to dress better than them. And I know just what to do, bro" Nonoko said boyishly.
Anna pulled Mikan towards the dressing room. "I have lots of cute clothes that fit for you!" she squealed.
"Make sure it's for disco parties, not for baby parties, okay?" Mikan sweat dropped while being pulled towards the dressing room.
Natsume…
Nonoko tried different hairstyles for him. Everything fitted him perfectly. She was in deep shit alright. Nonoko doesn't know what a guy would do to his hair in a disco party. Hotaru tapped Nonoko twice. "Just comb his hair, put gel on it. Then, apply a conditioner on his hair. After that, comb it again or just mess it around like what his usual hairstyle is…" she said nonchalantly.
Nonoko nodded. "Okay then, if you say so" she said then did what Hotaru told her to do.
Then, after a while, guess how Natsume looks like. Well, as for my guess, you don't have to. He looks same but his hair is with gel.
"Nice face~!" Nonoko complimented.
"I know that…" Natsume said in an I-already-knew-that-for-thousands-of-times-already tone.
Nonoko sweat dropped. "O...kay? Well, let's go with your clothes, come on now~!" she pulled him towards the other dressing room and gave him lots of clothes. "Try all of them" Hotaru said with her hands crossed.
Number 1
Natsume came out of the dressing room with his usual expressionless face. Nonoko nodded a bit. "Not bad..."
Hotaru nodded in agreement. "Yes. Black polo with white pants really fit. The white addidas sneakers add more flavour to him…" she said. Nonoko nodded back to her. "And look at the bad boy spike necklace. It matches with his crimson eyes perfectly. It adds more shine on it, don't you think so Hotaru?" she looked at Hotaru.
"Totally… I wonder what Mikan would think about it..." Hotaru scanned Natsume from top to bottom.
"Okay, you can try the next one, Natsume" Nonoko smiled sweetly.
Number 2
Natsume came out with a gray t-shirt with a big, fat black horizontal line on the middle with a vertical line crossing over it at the edge. He also wore brown men apple-bottom leggings with high cut converse coloured navy blue.
This time, Nonoko and Hotaru are sitting on a chair with tea cups on their hands. They both looked at him as soon as he got out.
"Perfect." Nonoko said.
"Not bad…" Hotaru said.
Number 3
Natsume came out with a white open buttoned polo shirt. He also wore baggy military green shorts with matching white and black Nike shoes. He also has a wrist band on his left wrist coloured yellow.
Nonoko whistled. "Mama mia, ooh lala~" she said.
"Totally panty-dropping gorgeous looks..." Hotaru smirked. Then, she sipped some tea form her cup.
Natsume almost laughed. "Pfft…" then he went back in.
Number 4
Natsume came out. Nonoko stood up. She was REALLY proud of Natsume's looks.
Natsume was wearing a tank gray and white hooded top with matching cream white baggy shorts and white sneakers with some bling-blings and white and reed Nike wrist band.
"That's the one!" Nonoko said.
"So, this is what I will wear?" Natsume looked at himself in the mirror.
Hotaru nodded. "Yes. And hopefully, Mikan should also have a matching outfit" she said. Natsume turned to her. "Matching huh?"
Nonoko nodded. "Why? Don't you like it?" she asked.
"It's not that" he said. "I was just repeating it…"
"Okay then. If you say so. Well, let's go to Mikan now~!" Nonoko smiled. The two just nodded at her and went to the other room.
Then, they found Mikan standing on a small chair with Anna placing some belt accessories on Mikan's black Guess branded belt. Nonoko came to them and helped Anna placing accessories on Mikan like rings, loop earrings, necklace, and big bracelets. Mikan looked at herself on the mirror.
"Guys, I think big loop earrings and those glamorous belt accessories are enough" she sweat dropped.
Hotaru nodded. "She's right." She said. Then put some foundation on Mikan's face and mascara.
Natsume leaned his back against the door and looked at Mikan. She was wearing a glossy violet spaghetti strapped v-cut blouse making her stomach/belly exposed.. (V shape at the bottom of the blouse) She also wore grey coloured pants with white and black kamiseta high heeled sandals. She also has matching black spiked choker.
Anna was ready cry. Cry because of joy. She was truly and immensely proud of her work. How she helped Mikan on her outfits and stuff. And now it's their turn to dress up…
"Let's go girls. We have some girls to crush and rule on" Anna smirked evilly.
Hotaru and Nonoko nodded and went to separate dressing rooms and dressed up.
To be continued…
