"LETS GIVE A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR...NATSUME HYUUGA!!"Mikan announced and the crowd went wild
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"Sumire and co. screamed
"Ne-Natsume"Ruka called
"What is it Ruka?"Natsume asked
"Mikan is calling out for you"Ruka said
"..."
"Natsume..."Ruka said with a worried look
"Tch..."Natsume stood up from his chair and he walks his way towards the stage. Ruka sighted and smiles as he looked at Natsume
"WAAAAAAAAAAH!! NATSUME-KUUUUN!!"Sumire and co screamed and raised their "I-LOVE-NATSUME" banners
"When did they have those banners? I didn't see them carrying any when we went inside Hotaru's dorm"Yuu asked
"Yuu, don't underestimate Natsume's fan girls"Koko sighted and patted on Yuu's right shoulder
"NATSUME-KUN! NATSUME-KUN! NATSUME-KUN!"the girls cheered
"Natsume-kun!! Natsume-kun!"Misaki cheered
"AAAhem!!"Tsubasa made a fake cough and stared at Misaki
"Naaaatsuumee...oh."Misaki stopped cheering and stayed quiet...
"Whoa...didn't expect this from the black cat...this should be interesting"Serio smirked
"Natsume...making a fool of himself on stage?!"Jinno asked
"Yes Jinno-san...that's Natsume"Narumi chuckled, seeing Jinno with a weird expression on his face...
On Stage...
"Here you go Natsume!"Mikan cheerfully offered her microphone to Natsume
Natsume didn't utter and just stared at Mikan. Mikan noticed that Natsume was unusually quiet and kept on staring at her, so she felt nervous and impatient that..
"Natsume?"Mikan wondered 'Why is he staring at me?'
And then...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIGHTS?!"
"Ooooooh"Narumi said
"SHIT! ITS SO DARK!! WAAAHAHAAAAAAA!!"Jinno screamed
'Damn...I can't see a thing' Serio thought
"SORRY EVERYONE...IT SEEMS THAT WE EXPERIENCING MINOR TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES..SO PLEASE, SHUT UP AND I WILL FIX THIS RIGHT AWAY..."Hotaru announced through microphone and since she's wearing night vision goggles...something tells us that this is no coincidence...
Flashback!! During their 10 minute break...
"Imai"
"What do you want, Natsume?"Hotaru asked
"...uhm.."
"Don't tell me..."Hotaru said "..you want me to do something stupid to give you time to apologize to Mikan right?"
Natsume stared at her...
"Why don't you apologize to her right now?"
Natsume stared at the noisy crowd, especially to Serio...
"So?"Hotaru asked
Natsume then showed his 3000 worth of coupons and waved it on Hotaru's face. Hotaru took the coupons and said...
"Don't you wave it on my face again...its rude"
Natsume smirked and he went back to his table, until he saw Ruka coming in from the door...
End of Flashback
"Stupid Natsume.."Hotaru said, while looking at Mikan and Natsume with her night vision goggles
"Goooosh...it's so dark"Mikan squeled with fright until...
"HUH?!"Mikan turned white when someone hugged her from behind
"Mikan..."
'That voice..' Mikan thought "Natsume?"
"I'm sorry..."Natsume said with a serious tone
"Sorry?"Mikan whispered "For what?"
"About awhile ago..."Natsume whispered
"Ooooh...that" Mikan said "Natsume, it's okay...you don't have to apologize..I mean, I'm used to that attitude of yours"
"Don't you know..."Natsume asked
"What? About what Natsume??"Mikan asked then the warm embrace suddenly disappeared and the lights were back. Mikan looked at her back and then she saw Natsume, infront of her again...
"WHEW..."the crowd sighted
"Everyone, since the lights are back on the the stage is fully functional, we can continue with our karaoke night"Hotaru announced
"Hey Tsubasa-sempai, Misaki-sempai"Yuu called
"What?"Misaki and Tsubasa asked
"What happened to the two of you?? Both of you look so tired.."Nonoko asked
Tsubasa's hair is messy and his blouse is wrinkled
Misaki's hair is also messy, and her blouse is unbuttoned (Well, just 2 buttons)
Koko can sense that their two sempais were hiding something from them so he reads their minds...
'Whew...I hope they don't find out that we did a QUICKIE' Misaki thought
'Wow...this is the best QUICKIE I've had in awhile...' Tsubasa thought
Koko's smile widened and Misaki and Tsubasa gave him an evil stare...Koko got the idea and still, kept on smiling
Meanwhile..
"Hey"
"Natsume..."Mikan said "What do-"
"Give me the damn microphone..."Natsume said seriously
'I wonder what he meant that I didn't know...didn't know what exactly??' Mikan thought
"HEY BAKA! GIVE HIM THE DAMN MICROPHONE!"Sumire shouted
"YEAH!"Sumire's friends said
"HEY!"Mikan protested and gave Natsume a look of confusion "Here's your damn microphone! Hmph!!"
Mikan turned around and went back to Hotaru
"Hey Mikan.."Hotaru asked
"Hotaru..."Mikan frowned
"Listen to him and you'll find your answer"Hotaru said
Sniff "What do you mean by that Hotaru?"Mikan said
"Just wait and see"Hotaru smiled and comforted Mikan
"Whoa.."Mochu said
"What is it, Mochu?"Yuu asked
"I never noticed the piano on the stage"Mochu pointed the piano on the stage
"Oh yeah.."Yuu said "When did THAT came on the stage??"
"Maybe, during the brownout"Koko said
"Hmm...maybe"Yuu and Mochu wondered
"Oh well, let's just listen to Natsume"Koko said
Natsume sat down on the piano chair. The grand piano was facing on the left side, where Mikan and Hotaru are...Which means, Natsume is facing Mikan and Hotaru...he took a huge breath and he started playing...
The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core...
"I didn't know he could play the piano!!"Yuu, Mochu and Koko said
"AWE!! He looks SO COOL!!"Nonoko and Anna squeled
But hold your breathe...
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again...
Don't make me change my mind
Oh...I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true...
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find...
"Is he looking at me?"Mikan wondered because she notices Natsume, somewhat, looking at her. She looked at her back and see's no one..which means..
'He IS looking at me!!' Mikan blushed and Hotaru smiled to see her best friend, all flustered
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed,
But I have loved you from the start
Ooooh..
But hold your breathe...
"Black cat...singing something sentimental...priceless"Serio smirked
"Is this true?!"Jinno is even more surprised and Narumi just laughed
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again...
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true...
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible...
"Natsume..."Ruka said and looked at the blushing Mikan..
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cuz talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When your asleep...
Ruka released a slight frown and thought 'Looks like, you've won...Natsume'
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again...
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true...
Because a girl like you is impossible to find...
"Natsume...I understand what you mean..."Mikan released tears of joy and Natsume saw it and smirked. Serio and Ruka were startled to see Natsume smirking to Mikan, who's crying...They sighted and thought...
'Do you know what you're doing Black Cat? You're risking that girl's safety..' Serio thought and looked at Mikan 'this girl, is a big hindrance to me..'
'Sakura-chan...I can see clearly now..you really love Natsume...I just kept on denying for myself, because it hurts to admit it...' Ruka thought
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again...
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true...
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find...
After that final note, everyone was in a moment of silence. Natsume expected this kind of reaction, since he never done this before, especially in a huge crowd. Then someone broke the silence..
"NATSUME-KUN! GREAT JOB!!"Narumi cheered and raised two thumbs up
'Oooooookay...now THAT I didn't expect' Natsume sighted
"WAAAAAAAH!! WE LOVE YOU NATSUME!!"Sumire and co screamed
Natsume looked at Serio and Serio smirked and clapped his hands. Natsume grunted and looked at Mikan. Somehow, he felt great when he saw Mikan crying with a smile...he felt lightness in his heart.
"Natsume...hmm..."Hotaru said and checked on his score. Natsume looked at Hotaru and he was annoyed at Hotaru's sly smile to him.
'What's with the sly smile Imai? It's annoying me..' Natsume glared
