And for those who were asking how Natsume got inside the house of Hotaru, then this chapter would answer your questions...
Disclamier: I don't own Gakuen Alice...
Chapter 6- Is it a deal? Or no deal?
"Konban wa Hotaru Imai, soshte, Mikan Sakura or shall I say, Tangerines?"
It is as though Mikan's life has been shortened by ten years, she wrapped her arms around her body in attempt to cover her exposed skin, especially her tattoo in her chest to an intruder.
Hotaru seemed shocked too but then she was the first one to recover.
"How did you get in here, Hyuuga? I could file a case against you for intruding." she said stoicly.
"File if you want, as if I've been intruding." Natsume said with a bored expression.
"What do you mean?"
"Did you think that I would be able to go here if that lunatic robot of yours that asks names rejected me? Anyway, I've been calling for you in the corridors but then no one responded me till I found this open door. Looks like I haven't wasted my time after all." Natsume said with a definite smirk on his face and looked at Mikan, or shall I say, Tangerines from head to toe, which sent down shivers on her spine.
"U-uh, uh-uhmmm, is this the unscrupulous twerp that you were talking about that bullies Mikan a lot?" Tangerines said in high hopes that Natsume will believe that she is not Mikan.
"Shut up, baka youjo, stop pretending to be all so innocent." Natsume growled.
"No, I'm not Mikan!" she shouted.
"Who even asked you that?" Natsume said with a little chuckle, but he hid it well. "What's your name?" Natsume stupidly asked.
"No!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Even if you'll kill me, or be burned and stoned to death, I'll never admit that my name is Mikan Sakura!" Mikan shouted hysterically, then stopped, pondering on the words that she had just said.
"N-N-NNN-NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Mikan cried in anguish.
"Baka" Natsume and Hotaru said together.
"So my suspicions are all true, I can't see why you won multiple grand slams when you can't even fool me?" Natsume said mockingly.
"What did you just say?" Mikan stood up and faced Natsume.
"Oi, oi, polka dots are you trying to seduce me?" Natsume said, a little concscious that Mikan is right their in front of him without her disguise and especially with her thin short night gown. It wanna make him think of impure thoughts.
Mikan blushed from his statement and hurried to get her robe and wore it.
"What business do you have with me, Hyuuga?" Hotaru asked.
"Just wanna know if my suspicions are true, but then I don't think that I need your answers anymore." Natsume said.
"So you could go home now and leave us now forever and ever amen!" Mikan said.
"Ok, I'll go home." Natsume said and without further ado, he grabbed Mikan's arm and faced Hotaru, "Jane" he said while dragging Mikan mercilessly.
"Hey! Hey! Let go of me! Oi! Hotaru stop him!" Mikan shouted while attempting to let go of Natsume's demonic grasp.
"Oi, what do you think you are doing to my bestfriend?" Hotaru said seriously with matching Baka Cannon and pointed it at him.
"Will life-long supply of crab and crab brains be enough?" Natsume asked nonchalantly.
Hotaru dropped her Baka Cannon and faced Mikan, "Iterrashai(take care)".
Leaving poor Mikan being dragged away by the maniac.
"HHHHHOOOOTTAAARRRRRRRUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!"
Mikan was forced inside Natsume's Porche.
"What do you want from me?" Mikan scowled.
"Sight seeing." he replied shortly while driving.
"What do you mean by sight seeing you insolent fool?! I haven't brought my disguise and I haven't even wore something decent! Now if the interviewers saw me. I would be bothered to hell!" Mikan said.
It's true, she only wore her robe with a nightgown under. Natsume then thought of a way. He turned suddenly so Mikan accidentally threw herself at Natsume.
Only an inch of move and he could see the unseen, you know what I mean.
"What the hell was that!" Mikan roared.
"Forgotten somethin'" he simply replied.
Mikan fell silent, knowing that she can't squeeze a single information out of him.
Then the car suddenly stopped.
Mikan looked at the place and saw a shop of expensive clothes by the window.
"What the-" Mikan gawked in awe, she didn't knew that there would be a boutique as lavish as the "Up" boutique that usually sponsors for her dress during pictorials and shootings.
She looked at the signboard of the shop and it is named "Down".
Down, it is the rival shop of the Up boutique... Wait, rival?!
"Hey! what do you think you're doing?" Mikan asked as Natsume grabbed hold of her hand and dragged her inside the Down Boutique.
Now she remembered, Natsume's also the model of Down Boutique, just like her with the Up Boutique.
"Let me go! Are you insane? This is my rival!" Mikan argued.
"So what?"
"I--" Mikan retorted but then she was cut off when Natsume suddenly said to the employee, "Dress her up"
The employee started to blush and became paralyzed when she saw Tangerines in robes and nightgown, especially with Natsume Hyuuga, who as of now, held her hands and started to have impure thoughts.
"Want to be fired?" Natsume asked impatiently. Apparently irritated.
The employee broke from her trance and started to bring Mikan to the dressing room.
Every dress seem to fit Mikan very well so they just let her choose the dress that she want.
When she finished changing, she went out of the dressing room and asked Natsume.
"Who's going to pay for this? I haven't brought my money or ATM's nor credit cards here?"
"My treat" he said as he signed something, apparently a cheque or something then gave it to the clerk.
He then placed his hands on the hips of Mikan, placed his hood on his head (yep, he wore a hooded jacket) and started dragging her to the car.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing, retard? Let your filthy hands off me!" Mikan hissed.
"Act accordingly baka youjo, or you don't want to make an issue, do you? So be quiet and bow your head, cover your face with your hair." he said calmly, never letting go of his hand. I think you all fully knew well his real intentions, ayt?
Mikan cooperated with him, indeed he has a point. She let down of her hair to her face and bowed to cover her face, for them to look unsuspicious, she also placed her hands at Natsume's back, which sent shivers down on him. Her touch seems to reach down her bones even though he wore a shirt and a thick jacket.
They all remained silent until they reached the car.
They broke with each other and hurriedly switched on the car and drove.
They all fixed themselves and became very quiet and Mikan felt uneasy.
She started to think of topics for them to talk and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
She woke up when she felt that the engine of the car stopped.
"Where are we?" Mikan said while rubbing her eyes. But then she never gave Natsume to speak when her eyes opened wide.
"Sugoi!" Mikan shouted as she saw hundreds of stars on the sky. She looked around and found out that they are in an elevated sloping land with grasses around them.
Mikan didn't care where they are, what matters for her now is the beauty of the stars that lingers in her eyes.
Natsume lied down on the grasses, Mikan followed suit beside him.
They remained silent for a while, gazing at the stars.
"Ne, Natsume, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Mikan asked.
"6 feet under the ground" he said.
"Oh? Good, so you want to be a geologist while having showbiz, good" Mikan complimented.
"Baka, what I meant is not the literal one! I'm talking about being dead you retard."
"Ehh? How could you think such things? Hidoi! What will happen to your fangirls if that happens?!"
"Hmpf, like I care."
"Yes you do."
"No I don't, nobody cares for me anyway, except Ruka."
"Yes I do"
"I-" Natsume then stopped short, what did she just say? He looked at her direction and met directly with her eyes.
"What are you staring at?" he said coldly.
"You, you idiot!" Mikan said, yet, they are still trapped in each other's gazes.
"I know that you idiot, what I meant is why are you staring? fallen for me already?"
"Like I do! Thick face!" Mikan grumpily said and stared back at the stars again, her eyes started to droop.
"If you'll die, what do you think will Permy, your fans club, Ruka and me think?" she said suddenly.
Natsume became quiet for a while, pondering on his thoughts, then he has no other choice, he must change the topic.
"You, why did you disguise into an ugly fat nerd?" he asked.
He then wondered why he got no response, when he looked at her, he found out that she is already asleep.
He then grinned a little, he doesn't know why but of all his 'birthdays', this ones the best. Though they didn't do anything fun, just the prescence of her makes him feel complete.
He then wanted to kiss her, it's HIS BIRTHDAY TODAY anyway, and that's the reason why he brought her out.
Temptation of the devil really is great, why? coz he fell for it.
He got his phone with camera and captured her pic while she's sleeping. And then the next one, he KISSED her, and while kissing her, he pressed the 'capture' button, and now, his phone, the grasses and the stars are the witness of HIS first kiss, and he knew also that this is her first kiss as well.
So he picked up Mikan and brought her to his house, which is nearer to where they are now and he slept peacefully, with an angel beside him.
