Hey guys, sorry for the late update, things has just been hectic lately but without further a due here is another update. Please review at the end.
Chapter 6: Me
"As I said before Natsuki it is tradition that a Kuga must be engaged at a certain age and seeing that you are at that age, it is inevitable" answers her majesty trying hard to calm her granddaughter down but is failing miserably.
"I will do no such thing!" yells the raven haired for the 50th time.
"Natsu-
"No! Gran, I repeat I will do no such thing!" yells the raven haired beauty once again.
"Natsuki this is not for you to decide."
"You are the inheritor to the Kuga throne Natsuki; therefore you must do as I say."
"Not for me to decide?!... Not for me to decide!" Natsuki started to pace around the room angrily, if the floors weren't tiles her majesty was pretty sure that Natsuki would have successfully started a fire with all the pacing she was doing.
"I'm the one that has to announce a fiancé not you!
I'm the one that has to smile like I want this not you!
I'm the one that has to eventually marry the person I choose tonight not you Gran!"
"And you think it's not for me to decide" says the raven haired heatedly.
Her majesty sighs and sits on the nearby leather couch. This is gonna be a long night.
"Natsuki it's not as bad as you make it sound." says her majesty tiredly.
"Not bad? Hell, you've got that right because this is not even close to bad it's a nightmare!" retorts the raven haired.
"And I'm not saying I will but if I did choose to accept, I don't even know who to pick for a fiancé, I hardly know anyone."
Perking up with the slight bit of hope her majesty stands up walking over to the raven haired.
"You have a variety to choose from Natsuki, most of the people inside the ball have very good backgrounds and are practically swooning for you. Although I would advice you to pick young Takeda, not only is he very rich and handsome but he's had a crush on you for ages."
Natsuki cringes at the sound of Takeda's name. She did not like him… at all. He was always trying to get her attention and he was very persistent at that. When she says persistent, she means persistent like a leech. He would follow her everywhere like a lost dog. To sum it up he was annoying like hell. She would have kicked his butt ages ago if it were not for her grandmother threatening to take away her bike if she did so.
"No! No! NO! No way in hell!" shouts the raven haired.
"Natsuki would you stop yelling like a maniac" says her majesty while holding her ears as if it was going to bleed.
"Natsuki it is done, your faith is sealed." replies her majesty giving off an air of authority.
"What makes you think I'm gonna do what you say" says the raven haired dangerously.
"Natsuki it is your duty." simply states the latter.
Before the raven haired had the chance to retort back her grandma spoke once again beating her to the punch.
"Your mother would not be very happy if you choose to refuse this; you would not only be letting the Kuga Corporation down but your mother and I as well."
"Do you want that Natsuki?" her majesty did not want to bring her mother up but Natsuki was giving her no choice.
Calming down the raven haired beauty answered "No…But-
"No buts Natsuki, I know this is hard for you, trust me I know, I too was in the same position before and that goes for your mother aswell."
"But it just can't be help Natsuki, but know this I love you Natsuki no matter what."
A moment of silence took place as the raven haired pondered on what to do.
She did not want a fiancé … but for her mother's sake…
"Fine, I will do as you say." says the raven haired beauty dejectedly.
'Thud… thud' a loud bagging sound was once again heard causing the people to stop dancing and the chatting to die down.
"Ladies and Gentlemen please be quite as her majesty has something important to announce" a rough voice said.
At those words the whole place went silent, even the faintest drop of water could be heard if it were to fall.
Coming out and descending down from the stairs once again was her majesty Caroline Kuga in all her glory followed by her beautiful granddaughter Natsuki Kuga.
All eyes were soon locked onto the two Kuga's.
"Good evening everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your time here. All of you look very beautiful and handsome this very night. I have talked to most of you tonight and I hope that we will keep contact in the future. Tonight is very special night because … Tonight my granddaughter Kuga Natsuki heir to the Kuga throne will announce her chosen fiancé this very night and that person is amongst one of you as we speak." says her majesty powerfully.
The crowd gasps and then cheered. Applauses thundered all around the hall.
Looking around the raven haired noticed everyone getting excited and talking amongst each other. She could not help but grimaced at the thought of whom she had chosen as her fiancé.
Scanning the crowd she saw him wearing a black suit with white tie, he was grinning side to side, 'Gran must have gone ahead and told him he was the one' thought the raven haired. She felt like gagging at this very moment.
Amongst the crowd, a brunette beauty looked up at the raven haired in shock. She would have never guessed that the night would have lead up to this. Looking at the raven haired she saw a picture of calm and grace but she knew that there was more to it than meets the eye.
Looking closely she saw Natsuki clenching her hands into a fist. Her eyes burning with a mix of rage and sadness, yep she was right the raven haired beauty did not want this at all.
For a second the two girls locked eyes, Blood red meeting Emerald eyes.
"Natsuki love, go ahead tell them who the lucky person is" whispered her majesty softly.
She takes one last glance at her grandmother and receives a nod of affirmation then back to the awaiting audience.
The whole room is silent; she can hear her own heart beating madly.
This is it; there is no turning back now. Taking a deep breath she begins…
"My fiancé that I have chosen is…."
Now or never.
"Is…
-
"Me" says a voice.
The crowd parts away slowly to reveal… a beautiful woman with Chocolate brown hair and blood red eyes, her face formed into a smirk.
Everyone gasps, their mouth hanging open and eyes bulging out of their sockets.
As the crowd parted the raven haired saw who had just said me out loud. She froze, shock written all over her face.
Y-OU?!
TBC
