…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….heavy rain……………………………………
"Ok, time out. Enough for today, people." ruka said
"Wind up"
They were shooting for the casual wear line at the Tokyo beach.
"Man" a crew member said. "Is it me? Or is it getting way cloudy by the minute.
Natsume looked up at the sky, it WAS getting cloudy.
"Hey baka, get me" he stopped in mid- sentence when mikan handed him a bottle of water and smiled. She was a fast learner…..
He didn't have to ask twice.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Just as natsume got in his car…huge droplets fell from the sky.
Raindrops as huge as a quarter.
It was clear that a storm was stirring up.
He saw ruka invite imai in his car and they drove off.
Everybody started heading home, offering people lifts and stuff like that.
Then he remembered a certain idiot on a purple moped.
Mikan
Natsume got out of the car and started searching for the brunette.
Where the hell is she? I don't see her. She can't drive on a moped in such weather!!!
Natsume was beginning to panic; the rain was making it hard for him to see.
He ran about looking for the idiot.
"POLKADOTS" he shouted.
No reply.
"OI, IDIOT"
Still no reply.
"mikan"
He ran towards a group of trees.
"Hello??" a meek voice called out.
"Is someone out there?"
Natsume ran to the direction of the voice.
That idiot!
"Hey" natsume called
"Natsume" mikan beamed.
"Get out of there." Mikan was standing under a tree. And in case you don't know what's wrong with that, standing under a tree during a storm is dangerous.
Mikan ran up to natsume, both of them were soaking wet.
"c'mon" natsume said, dragging her to the car.
They had almost stepped inside the car when the rain pelted down even more heavily. It was impossible to drive all the way to natsume's place which was way far off.
"Where do you live" he asked
"Near the national museum of arts" she replied.
Natsume shook his head.
"It's too far off, even farther than my place. We can't drive that far and we can't stay here, near the sea. (They are at the beach remember??)"
"Now what?" mikan asked, he could see she was cold, so was he. They were both drenched to the bone and were shivering.
Think.
Think natsume racked his brain.
Think wait!! I got it!!
The luxury suite wasn't far off. They could walk there.
"c'mon" he said as he got out of the car.
Mikan followed suit. As they ran in the rain she asked him "where are we going?"
"Luxury suite" he answered
"What? I can't afford that place."
"I can, I'll pay, now c'mon"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Mikan and Natsume reached luxury suite running and panting. They went inside and both of them sighed in relief.
"Man" mikan said "I hope that never happens again"
Natsume walked to the reception.
"What can i-" the receptionist stopped and looked at natsume.
THE natsume hyuuga who was the sexiest man alive and was the most sought after model was standing before her, drenching wet.
"Hubba hubba"
Natsume ignored her, and addressed the other receptionist, an old man.
"I'd like a room for two"
"Immediately sir" the old man gave natsume some form to fill and finishing the required formalities, handed him the card.
"Room 146"
"Fine"
mikan was sitting on a lounge sofa where loads of people gave her weird looks.that made her really uncomfortable.
"Hey stupid, let's go"
"Ok"
Mikan was so glad to know she was away from those weird looks that she was glad to leave without being mad on natsume for calling her stupid.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ruka and hotaru had decided they would stay at ruka's condo till the storm ceased.
Right now both of them were sitting on the couch watching TV and drinking hot chocolate.
Ruka smiled at hotaru sipping from the mug. Sure, he found mikan cute, but hotaru was just, enchanting.
"Oi nogi" his thoughts were crashed by hotaru's cold voice.
"Yes?" he said
"Stop staring, it's rude"
Ruka was a little perplexed. I was staring at imai?? And she noticed?
Oh how embarrassing. "Sorry"
Hotaru just shrugged. But deep inside. Come to think of it, nogi is kind of cute.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Oh man!! When will this stop.
Unlike the rest of our couples youichi and aoi didn't fare so well. They were in their classroom. The students were not allowed to leave until the storm stopped. Unlike few lucky ones who wore the regular school uniform, the soccer players and the cheerleaders were in there respective costumes. Which certainly didn't keep out the chill and the fact they were soaking wet didn't help at all. And amongst those unlucky soccer stars and preppy cheerleaders were youichi and aoi.
"I hate this" aoi complained.
"Tell me about it, jenny a good friend of aoi's remarked.
"Let's hope none of us fall sick:" youichi mused "I doubt we could tolerate someone throwing up"
Everyone cracked up.
Youichi just grinned.
He was doing his best to lighten the mood.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Natsume"
Natsume turned to look at the cute little brunette. Since they didn't have extra clothes, they had to do with the night gowns that were in the room. Both of them had taken a nice hot bath and were currently sitting and waiting for their food order.
"nani?"
"thanks" natsume was a little surprised.
"Doushite?"
Mikan beamed at him.
"for every thing. You even came to look for me, thanks a lot."
Natsume fiddled with his fingers. He felt heat rush to his cheeks.
"hn"
your welcome…mikan
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
"imai" ruka said looking up at his photographer.
"what?" she said in her usually snappy way.
"you owe me for the ride" ho replied a little mischievously.
Hotaru raised an eyebrow.
"so what do you want me to do, stop selling your baby pictures?"
"no- WHAT?? YOU HAVE BEEN SELLING MY BABY PICTURES??"
"actually, I've been selling a whole lot of your pictures including your elementary and high school days."
"ohk….now you owe me even more" ruka said.
"oh yeah?"
"uhhuh" he nodded
"from now on, I'll call you hotaru, and you HAVE to call me ruka."
Hotaru looked at him
"fine"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Youichi looked at aoi sitting alone; everybody was heading towards the lunch room.
He went up to her and sat down.
"What's wrong?"
"Betsuni" she replied
"You can tell me" he said smiling slightly.
"Im worried about natsume-nii…."
"He'll be fine, I assure you"
Aoi looked at him and returned his warm smile.
………………………………………………………………………………..
And in all the cases above each and everyone was thinking the same thing.
Maybe this storm isn't so bad after all………
