Chapter 6: Drunken Night

Is this really me? Wow. I never have thought I'll be this beautiful. Mom made me wear some make up and decent clothes for the party, since the motif is semi-formal.

I wore a light pink spaghetti strapped dress that flows down above my knee, white pumps, and some accessories.

"Honey, you are so beautiful! Just like mommy!" Mom jumped from where she stands.

"I didn't know I can be this good-looking…" I said as I caress my hair.

"You are beautiful even without make up honey!"

"You're just flattering me mom."

"No, really! I swear honey, you are beautiful." Mom nodded while placing her finger on her chin.

I heard the door open, "Are you done yet?" Natsume asked. I turned around to look at him. He wore a black long-sleeved. I smiled at him and I saw his eyes widen.

"What?" I asked him frowning.

"You look… UGLY." I gritted my teeth while clenching my fist.

"YOU!" I was about to charge on him when he turned around abruptly.

"Don't believe him honey, he's just lying. Now, off you go!" Mom pushed me out of my room, leaving me no choice but to follow Natsume.

"Get in the car." I glanced at him and nodded. No one uttered a single word through the whole ride. Time to time, I'll glance at Natsume. He's like contemplating something. His face was unreadable.

"We're here master." The driver stopped at a huge gate. The house was breath-taking. The walls were completely covered with vines, like an Old Italian house.

"Whoa." My mouth hung open.

"Tch. Don't get too close to me. You are very shameful." Natsume said as he walked inside the house.

"What an arrogant fox!" I shouted as I followed him. I was welcomed with a loud music playing. There were many people dancing on the main hall. It was like a disco bar. In an instant, I felt someone hug me from behind. I was startled and automatically looked back. It was... just Ruka. I sighed and held my chest, trying to calm.

"Did I scare you?" He asked, an evil smile plastered on his lips.

"Do I look like I'm not?" I glared at him – HARD.

"Well, welcome to my brother's party. He's… somewhere with a girl." Ruka told me as he turned me around. "You look… stunning."

I narrowed my eyes on him. "For real? 'Cause Natsume told me I look ugly."

"Yeah. You know, he always says the opposite of what is in he's mind. So don't mind him." He gave me a reassuring smile.

"Where is he anyway?" I looked around the room, hoping to see him.

"He's ahh, somewhere with a friend?"

"Who?"

"Ahm, my friend. Since Natsume doesn't have a partner, I set him up with my friend. She and Natsume looks good together."

I nodded my head at that. "Hmm. Is that so…"

"Why don't we have a drink first?" Ruka led me to a table for two. "Wait here."

"Okay." I answered as I saw his retreating figure, disappearing in the crowd.

"Hello miss, what's your name?" I looked up and saw a blonde guy that resembles Ruka. I didn't answer him and looked away instead.

"Hey, that was rude!" He shouted angrily at me.

"What are you trying to do with her?" Ruka interrupted.

"So, this is your girl. Nice pick bro." I raised an eyebrow at them.

"Forgive him Mikan, he's a playboy. He's the one celebrating a birthday." Hmm. Playboy eh? Must be running in their blood.

"Hi Mikan. You are much more beautiful than I've imagined." I saw Ruka's brother smirk at me.

"Thank you very much and nice to meet you." I smiled at him. He was taken aback by my actions.

"You look… sexy." He commented while he neared his face on mine. I stood up from my seat and looked away.

"Leave her alone brother. She's mine." Ruka gripped on his brother's collar.

"I was just joking. I'll be going now!" His brother walked off, clicking his tongue.

"I'm so sorry about my brother's behavior." Ruka apologized.

"You shouldn't be sorry when he's the one who's wrong." I looked at him and smiled. The loud music then turned to a love song.

"Will you dance with me?" Ruka reached out his hands. I took it and nodded.

"It's been two weeks since I asked you to be my girlfriend. Have you decided on it yet?" He asked me as he put his arms on my waist.

I looked away from him, avoiding his gaze.

"I guess that answers it. By any chance, do you hate me?" He sadly asked me. I looked at him and shook my head.

"Then why don't you talk to me?" I don't want to talk to him since I know I'll stutter!

"Can I kiss you?" My eyes widened as I opened my mouth, but my voice seems to not come out.

"I… I don't know." I answered, looking away.

"Should I take that as a yes?" I pouted and bit my lower lip. Someone save me! I'm being harassed here! He leaned at me slowly as I closed my eyes forcefully.

I was waiting for his lips to land on mine, but nothing came. I opened my eyes and saw Natsume, holding Ruka's shoulder. Natsume faked a cough.

"Can I dance with her?" The two of them looked at each other, as if talking through telepathy.

"Oh, of course." Ruka stepped back and smirked at Natsume.

"I'll go get something for the two of you okay?" Ruka smiled at the both of us. Natsume nodded and looked at me.

"You two are weird." I said as Natsume just shrugged it off. He held my arms and placed it on his neck.

"I thought you're not serious about the dance thing." I told him as he hugged me tightly. I rested my head on his chest.

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

"Mmm." We danced for about 5 minutes. After that, Ruka came and gave us a drink, probably an alcohol.

"This doesn't smell good!" I shouted and continued to drink it anyway. Didn't I tell you I have low alcohol tolerance?

"Oh my, I think I'm already drunk." I laughed hard receiving some weird looks from other people.

End of P.O.V.

Ruka glanced at Natsume. He whispered something on him and left.

"Mikan, let's dance once more." Natsume dragged her in the dance floor.

"YEAH! Let's MOVE IT!" Mikan shouted as she danced roughly. The music was rock – everybody was swaying their hips and banging their heads.

Natsume just stood there, watching Mikan as she removed her pumps and threw it somewhere. He looked at her with grieving face. Something was bothering him, and he clench and unclench his fist.

"Mikan." Natsume called her, but to his dismay, his sister didn't hear him.

"You… Tonight you'll be his, and I can't stand it." Natsume whispered to himself as he looked at the floor, shutting his eyes close. Suddenly, his body moved.

He too, was surprised with his actions.

He held Mikan's nape and plunged himself on her lips. He kissed her hungrily, wanting for more. He held Mikan's waist and nibbled on her lips.

'Don't fall in-love with him'

His tongue entered her mouth, exploring every part of it.

'You're mine.'

He broke the kiss and rested his forehead on hers.

'Don't fall in-love with Ruka.' He reminisced the day Mikan met Ruka, where he was trying to pull them apart. When he slept with her in the bed, he whispered the things he wanted to tell her, for he believed that it'll work as a magic for her not to fall in-love with his best friend and be his instead.

Natsume neared his lips on Mikan's ears.

"You are mine Mikan." With that, he picked her up and walked out of the party.

'Nobody had seen it. They're busy sucking each other out anyway.' Natsume thought as he put Mikan down on the car's seat.

"We're going home." He commanded, looking at the girl beside him.

'I want you.'

They got home and went to their room.

'I want you so badly.'

"Nat-su-me." Mikan called with a sing-song voice. Natsume laid her down on the bed.

"I want you so badly Mikan." He gave her a peck, caressed her face, and smiled viciously.
