Chapter Seven: The Stalker

--

She pressed her nose against the door of Kawaii Club, her breathtaking green eyes mesmerized at Natsume's ruby ones. She slipped her hands against the glass as she drooled over his features. Oh, how she adored his jet black hair and his crimson eyes and that hot tattoo on his arm that crawled from his shoulder down to his elbow. She wanted to slip that jacket off him and worship it. He was so hot!

"Natsume…Hyuuga…" she breathed, fogging up the glass with her breath.

All of a sudden, someone came up to him. Someone with chestnut colored hair flowing down to the bottom of her shoulders wearing a pink halter and a baby blue mini skirt. Who was she? She was smiling and talking to him!!! A girlfriend, probably? Heck no!

The girl who was drooling over Natsume outside glared at her newfound rival. She nose from pressing against the door (which left a mark, might I add) and crossed her arms. "That little flirt…" she muttered menacingly. "Who is she to talk to my Natsume?"

"Oh, her?" someone whispered from behind.

The girl jumped in shock and turned around. There stood a pale girl wearing dark tinted shades. "And who might you be?"

The person handed her a white business card. "Imai Hotaru, Professional Photographer" she said coolly and removed her shades, revealing emotionless purple eyes.

Before the girl could respond, Hotaru placed her hand on the door. "And that girl is Sakura Mikan, pop singer"

"What??? I've never heard of her! And what is she doing with my Natsume?"

Hotaru shrugged. "How should I know?"

Hotaru's eyes moved to the girl's shirt, noticing that it said: PRESIDENT OF THE NATSUME FAN CLUB in big red bold letters.

"I presume that you are a fan of his?" she said quietly.

"I am the president of his fan club! Read the shirt, sis! I know everything about Natsume Hyuuga! I even know what time he was born!"

Hotaru raised an eyebrow. "You're more like a stalker. Anyway, I have to go. I've got an appointment with his manager…what's your name?"

The girl gave a mischievous grin. "Shouda Sumire!"

And with that, she pressed her face against the door once more.

"And I'm going to find out what this Mikan girl has to do with my darling Natsume-kun!"

--

"Kirin? That's all you have?" Mikan said, peering into the refrigerator.

It was dinner time and Mikan was awfully hungry. Oh, how she wished she would be eating dinner at home with her Jii-chan, with piping hot gratin and hearty beef stew on the table. The thought of his delicious tempura, tamago maki and ramen made her heart melt. Being used to a full meal during dinner, she was awfully shocked when she peered into the refrigerator. There, in the corner were only a few cans of Kirin. That sucked.

"I don't have time to eat" Natsume replied from the living room, strumming his precious guitar.

"Time to eat? There's always time to eat! Don't you ever crave for ramen or okayu or something like that?"

"No" Natsume said flatly. "Why don't you go out for dinner?"

"I'm too lazy" Mikan replied. Natsume scoffed at this. How stupid she was!

"Then you'll have to settle for nothing at all"

"But I'm hungry!!! And I'm used to Jii-chan's cooking…"

"Then go to Jii-chan and make him cook something for you!! Just don't bother me!!" Natsume responded, his tone full of annoyance now.

"Ugh. Never mind!! I'm going to bed!!" Mikan groaned and stomped off to her room.

Poor Mikan.

She crawled under her blankets and let her empty stomach complain. How could she even have a good sleep when the thoughts of Angus beef and rice tormented her so? How could she even shut her eyes when she was bothered by the spicy thought of stew? How could she even relax when spaghetti clogged her brain?

She spent her whole night daydreaming of dinner. She was beginning to feel dizzy and she sat up and stared at her bedside alarm clock. It read: 11:52 PM

Mikan threw her bed sheets aside. "That's it! I can't take it anymore!! I'll go to some cheap 24/7 diner for all I care! I just need to get a bite to eat!"

She opened her close and removed her pajamas. She put on a green sweater, some jeans and sneakers and left her room.

"Natsume must've gone to bed" Mikan said, noticing that the lights have been shut. She tip toed as quiet as mouse and as she reached the elevator she realized that she had forgotten something.

"Ugh!! How could I be so stupid? I forgot my wallet!" she said and walked back to her room.

It was very dark and she couldn't see anything except the gold door knob glimmering in the darkness. She couldn't see a thing and…

BOOGSHHHH!

Mikan stumbled and hit her head on the wall. What was that? She didn't recall any piece of furniture lying around in the hallway. She sat up, rubbing her head and opened the lights near her door.

There, stood a girl with black bobbed hair clipped with a barrette that said NATSUME. She wore a white t-shirt that said: Natsume Hyuuga 4Ever and carried a blue messenger bag that had Natsume pins all over it. Mikan shuffled back in fright.

The girl glared at her. "Mikan Sakura…we finally meet" she muttered, her tone deadlier than ever.

"W-w-who are you?" Mikan stuttered, backing away.

"You're worst nightmare, Sumire Shouda!!!" the girl screeched and lunged for Mikan, fishing out a fan from her pocket and began hitting her face with it. Mikan didn't mind the pain but…who the hell was this girl? She had never seen her before!!!

All of a sudden, Natsume burst out of his door. "Who's there??!?!" he yelled.

Mikan and Sumire's eyes widened for (again), he wore nothing but his pajama bottom. Sumire gulped and stood up.

"OH MY GOD!!! IT'S NATSUME!!!" she squealed, jumping up and down.

Natsume and Mikan stared at her as she ran around the living room, yelling out Natsume's name and things like "Wait till I tell my friends!!! They'll be soooooo jealous!!!!" and "Thank you, Lord! Now I have a chance with him!!!"

Then she stopped running and caught her breathe. She smoothed her crumpled jeans and gazed lovingly at Natsume's eyes. "Natsume-kun…"

Natsume was very terrified now. He clung to the wall as she neared him like a hungry lion about to pounce on an innocent gazelle.

Before she could even get a strand of his black hair, Mikan intruded.

"Um…are you okay? Do you need to go to a hospital or something? I have enough money to treat you to a hot meal and…"

Sumire glared at her at once. "You idiotic banana!" she yelled, her voice cracking.

Banana? Mikan thought, sweat dropping. Am I supposed to be insulted?

"I'm no one else but the president of the Natsume Hyuuga Fan Club!" Sumire said and fished out a gold badge with Natsume's initials engraved on it. "And hopefully," she muttered, pushing her hair back.

"The future MRS. HYUUGA!!!" she squealed.

Natsume raised an eyebrow while Mikan bit her lip to stop her laughter.

"Natsume-kun already has a girlfriend!" Mikan said.

Sumire stopped squealing and eyed Natsume, her face white as sheet. "WHAT?"

Natsume nodded very slowly.

"Are you telling me that this cheap girl is your…" Sumire stuttered and eyed Mikan in horror. "GIRLFRIEND?"

The words flowed out of her mouth like a toxic waste. She looked like she was about to vomit on the spot.

"No----"

But before Natsume was able to explain any further, Sumire gave Mikan the dirtiest look ever.

"Just you wait, Mikan Sakura! I'm going to ruin you!" she hissed and turned to Natsume.

"Wait for me, Natsume-kun!" she said, her cheeks flushing tomato red.

She then shut the lights, dimming the whole place. Mikan felt around the ceiling and finally pressed the switch.

She was gone.

Natsume shrugged. "She's probably just one of those psychos" he said coolly and opened the door to his room. "Night, baka"

Mikan nodded and the two went back to bed.

"Welcome to the daily radio show of Magic 89.9! This is Natsume Hyuuga performing Famous Last Words for you! Hit it Natsume!"

"Now I know
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your...

And I know
There's nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
To change...

So many
Bright lights, they cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A love that's so demanding
I can't speak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
Cause I'm out here
On the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A love that's so demanding
I get weak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me

I say

I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

(How can I see, I see you lying) 'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying) With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying) Awake and unafraid
(How can I see, I see you lying) Asleep or dead

'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home!!!"

Natsume placed the microphone down and strummed his guitar for the very last time.

"And that was Natsume Hyuuga performing Famous Last Words! Arigato gozaimasu for tuning into Magic 89.9, kombawa minna-san! Our next guest will be Ms. Mikan Sakura performing one of her singles, Planetarium!"

"Ne…Natsume-kun!!! It really is awesome that we get to perform in the same radio station!!!" Mikan said, jumping up and down. "I'm so nervous!! It's my first time performing for a radio show!"

"Humph. I hope you break your voice!" Natsume said, placing his guitar back on its case.

"Stop being funny, Natsume!" Mikan pouted.

Natsume ignored her, hoping that he won't blush in front of her due to her 'cuteness'

"…Brought to you by Pop! Pop! Soda! Now we're back on the show with Mikan Sakura with her song!! Planetarium!!"

"Here I go Natsume-kun, wish me luck!" Mikan said, winking an eye.

Natsume had no idea why his cheeks flushed when Mikan did that. He rolled his eyes and sat down on a nearby couch as Mikan neared the microphone, the music beginning.

Yuuzukiyo kaodasu kieteku kodomo no koe

tooku tooku kono sora no dakoka ni kimi wa irundarou

natsu no owari ni futari de nuke dashita kono kouen de mitsuketa

ano seiza nandaka oboeteru?

Aenakutemo kioku wo tadotte onaji shiawase wo mitainda

makkura de nanimo mienai kowakutemo daijoubu

kazoe kirenai hoshizora ga ima mo zutto kokoni arunda yo

nakanaiyo mukashi kimi to mita kireina sora datta kara

Jii-chan leaned towards Natsume. "She's cute isn't she? You're lucky to be living together"

Natsume felt his ears grow hot. "What??"

Jii-chan looked at Natsume, rather perplexed. "Aren't you two dating?"

The raven-haired boy wanted to punch his cheeks back into its original color. "N-no!"

Ano michi made hibiku kutsu no oto ga mimi ni nokoru

ookina jibun no kage wo mitsumete omounodeshou

chittomo kawaranai hazu nanoni setsunai kimochi fukurandeku

donnani omottatte kimi wa mou inai

negai wo nagare boshi ni sotto tonaete mitakeredo

Jii-chan applauded and Mikan ran to them.

"Was I good?"

"You were great! Why don't I treat you guys to dinner?"

--

"Natsume-kun, where's Ruka-pyon?" Mikan asked, as the three entered a nearby Chinese restaurant.

"He said he had some kind of photo shoot" Natsume shrugged.

The three were seated by the corner and were given menus. Jii-chan excused himself to go to the bathroom, leaving Mikan and Natsume alone.

Mikan placed the menu down and hungrily debated on which she should order. Everything looked so delicious – from the delicious-looking dimsum to the hot fried rice topped with shrimps. It made Mikan's mouth water since she didn't get a bite to eat earlier that night.

Natsume, who didn't really care less on what to order – couldn't help but stare at Mikan from across the table. It was strange. Why was he so attracted to the way her copper hair fell over her shoulders? And why did he seem to enjoy looking at those long irresistible lashes that held beautiful olive orbs.

Mikan looked up at him curiously. "Natsume-kun? What are you looking at?"

Natsume merely scowled at her. Unexpectedly, someone came and sat on the edge of the table.

"Setsumi!" he said, quite surprised.

She flipped her violet hair to her back and smiled at Natsume. "Nice to see you here, Natsume-kun…what are you doing with…"

She looked at Mikan from head to toe. "Sakura-san? Are you on a date?" she inquired, looking at the two of them suspiciously.

"Nah. Her grandpa is treating us out to dinner" Natsume responded dryly.

Setsumi crossed her arms and turned to Mikan. "Sakura-san, are you aware of this new fan-site dedicated to you? I think I saw it in an ad near the Natsume Hyuuga website"

"What are you talking about?" Mikan asked, looking up at Setsumi.

"Oh, I'm sorry – it seems I've made a mistake. It's not a fan-site at all! It's a hate site made by the Natsume Hyuuga Fan Club" "

"Hate site?" Mikan was absolutely clueless.

Setsumi just gave a wide grin. "I guess not all people like you as much as you think"

Mikan's throat fell heavy and stood up, her bangs concealing her eyes. "I'll…I'll just use the bathroom" she whispered. But she didn't go to the left wing where the bathroom was, she ran out of the restaurant.

Natsume stood up and turned to Setsumi. "What the hell did you do?!" he yelled, his face turning red.

Setsumi raised an eyebrow. "And why are you so mad? I thought you hated her!"

"Dammit, Setsumi!" he said, throwing the table napkin aside.

"Where are you going?"

"That little baka is sensitive! Don't you have a brain?!"

Setsumi looked taken aback.

"Tell her grandpa that she's being stupid again!" he yelled and ran out the door.

Stupid little thing…

I'm going to find you!
