My god, I feel terrible! Yesterday was Natsume's birthday, and I completely forgot until after I posted the third chapter to Grown Apart. Argh! Well, I'll make it up here. Happy Belated Birthday Natsume! *Puts on party hat and pulls a cake out of nowhere.* On with the story!

There were only a few emotions to how I felt. Hurt, betrayal, anger, resentment, love, and a whole bunch of other feelings. Love. Yeah, I still loved him. Even after I found out about his past.
Although, I still couldn't honestly trust all of Luna's words. Natsume already told me the number of his wives, but I got no details. He can't be all that bad.
What am I going to do? Break into the teacher records? Actually, yes. That was exactly what I was going to do.
I couldn't stop from grinning all through math. Natsume's sexy glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, as his eyebrow was raised in slight confusion.
"Miss. Yukihira, please stay back for a moment." Natsume said, fixing my attention. I nodded, eyes trained on him.
"Yes, Natsume?" I asked after everyone filed out. Natsume's brow furrowed.
"Are you alright? You kept that stupid grin on your face all class." That was mean. Even for him.
I puffed out my cheeks, and pouted slightly, "It's nothing, Natsume. I have to go. Class and all."
After school ended, I waltzed into the office, smiling at the secretary.
"Miss. Yukihira, are you meeting your uncle?" She stopped me before I could walk into the line of offices.
I smiled brightly, "Yup!" The secretary's face was worried.
"Mr. Yukihira is in a meeting until four." She said, unsure if she should let me pass or not.
My eyes flickered to the clock, three-thirty. Plenty of time to snoop. I just had to get past this pushy woman! "Don't worry. Uncle won't mind if I wait in his office." She sighed.
"Fine. Just don't make too much noise." I smiled at her, and turned back to my original mission, smile fading.
Instead of going into my uncle's office, I went into the records room. I crept in, keeping silent. There were four filing cabinets. I opened the one nearest to me. Students, A-H. I assumed the one next to it was I-P and the last Q-Z. So the only one left. Teachers. My breath caught in my throat, as I opened the second drawer. G-L.
I picked through the names, and found Hyuuga Natsume. The folder was actually pretty thick once I picked it up. Preparing to open, I was stopped dead by the sounds of my uncle talking to the secretary. Shit! It was three-thirty-five! Why is he back! Without thinking, I stuffed the folder in my purse and bolted across the hall into his office. (As much as you could with crutches. Tomorrow, I was free of them!) I tried to control my breathing, as I stared at a picture of Tsubasa, Dad and Uncle, with Tsubasa holding a giant fish up.
Uncle walked in, a curious smile on his face. "Mikan, what a surprise. What brings you here?"
"I came here to make sure you remembered you were having dinner with us tonight." That was completely true. I picked today because I had an alibi.
"Ahh, yes, I am informed of our meeting tonight. However, it may have slipped my mind once or twice." He chuckled nervously. Checking his watch, he said, "Would you like a ride home?" Tsubasa was probably playing pool, so what other option did I have? Defiantly not Natsume.
I shrugged, "Sure." Uncle led me to his beat up station wagon, and I slid into the fake leather seat. My purse felt like it weighed a hundred pounds.
At my house, I walked in with uncle, and dad greeted us with a smile. He was sitting on the couch, next to Tsubasa watching the football game. Uncle immediately joined them, and I took my time kicking my shoe off and ambling up the stairs, barely calling down to my mom, "Come get me when dinner's ready!"
I shut the door behind me, and clicked the lock. I pulled the folder out of my purse, and dropped it on the bed. I felt like I couldn't open it. I was worried. I was almost scared. So I decided I would wait to calm my nerves. After about ten minutes, I was ready.
I plopped down next to the offending item, and opened the folder. It was just a simple picture of Natsume, with the Luna next to the spouse category. Not for long. . .
It was just basic information. His age(28), birth place(Tokyo), date of birth(November 27th 1982), parents(Kaoru and Mr. Hyuuga), siblings(Aoi Hyuuga, May 12th 1991, 20). Wait, date of birth? That was yesterday. Natsume was officially 29.
I turned the paper, and his first wife's name appeared. Tanaka Aya. Aya was an extremely beautiful women, with a feminist dignity. Her hair was a sheen vibrant red, in loose curls. Aya's eyes was such a stunning shade of green, that Mikan couldn't breathe for a moment. Age 32, born, June 15th 1979, Tokyo Japan. They were married in the summer of 2001, when Natsume was 19, divorced in May of 2002. Only one year. So, not only does he like younger woman, he likes elder ones too. She was remarried to a Mr. Tanaka with two children, and worked for a top publishing company. She lived in Tokyo, not ten minutes from me. (Creepy. . . ?)
His second one, named Kato Long Er, who took her boyfriends last name, leaving no mention of her real name. Long Er had a strange foreign look to her, which made her all the more beautiful. Blue-black hair in a tight bun; with curly wisps in her face, with golden chopsticks sticking out of the bun. Her eyes were slightly smaller and slanted then Leiko's, but were a gorgeous shade of chocolate brown. Age 29, born January 25th 1982th, Beijing China. She worked at. . . A strip club? Natsume, didn't know you liked them like that. They were married in 2004, when Natsume was 22, same with her. Divorced in 2005, another one only last a year. She apparently has a child with her new boyfriend. (Long Er lived roughly twenty minutes from me, but still in Tokyo.)
And his last one before Luna, Sato Leiko, who was also remarried, and had 2 children. Leiko was a pretty women. She had long, magenta hair, in elaborate curls. Her eyes were a shade of dark blue, framed by extremely long eyelashes, jet black in colour. She was now 27 and born in July 15th 1984, Hiroshima. They were married when Natsume was 25, and she was 23, during the spring of 2007. Divorced two years later when he had an affair with Luna, and then married Luna an hour after the divorce papers were filed. Leiko was in the singing business, her stage name, was Tsuki, meaning moon. Leiko lived in the famous part of Tokyo, meaning she was almost 45 minutes away.
I swallowed painfully. The only one he cheated on was Leiko, and I don't know why.
Before I could get any further in the file, my mother called me down.
I walked downstairs like a zombie. Natsume's wives were so, interesting. I felt inferior compared to them. All I was, was a high school student, making me part of his affair. (Except maybe the stripper.)
I stayed quite during dinner, only speaking when spoken too. My mom was too busy talking Uncle's ear off to notice. Tsubasa was the only one that seemed concerned.
Now, I was defiantly curious to know more about Natsume's wives. (Excluding Luna.) Tomorrow was Saturday, and it was time to pay them a little visit.
Well? Yeah, kinda boring chapter, but I stopped caring after I did the dates thing. My friend was texting me, and I started to realize that in the beginning, I was using 1990's to 2000's, until I remembered that'd make Natsume like, nine. So I had to go back and fix it. No wonder it wasn't making sense. . . Um, well, next chapter we really don't get to see Mikan's visits, because every five chapters is a Natsume point of view, so look forward to that. Chapter eleven, which is Mikan's point of view again, I will make it longer, just as long as I don't have to pick the bottom of my brain for creativity. Because my creative pot is running extremely low. So. . . Yes. Once again, HAPPY BELATED BIRHTDAY NATSUME~~~~~! Kya~~~~~! I sometimes wish the manga was date related, because then Natsume would be like, 20ish, 18ish. So most of us would feel less like creepers. Ne? Review!
