insaneoneX: HI EVERYONE!! I've been so busy this week with tests because the quarter is ending at school… so many… so many. Well, anyway, here's chapter 10, enjoy XD.
Chapter 10: Who Will Get the Kiss?
It was a bright, windy day at Alice Gakuen as our little brunette is making her way to her classroom, late.
"I'm going –huff- to be late –huff- again," Mikan ran down the halls, gasping for breath. "We're going to –huff- choose the play –huff- I can't be late."
She ran down the hallway to her classroom…..
BAM
"Ouch…..," Mikan fell backwards from the impact. "I'm sorry."
"Watch where you're going, Polka Dots," it was a familiar voice and Mikan looked up. It was Natsume.
She stared at him for a minute, trying to remember what just happened.
"What's wrong," Natsume smirked as Mikan shuddered, knowing he was going to say something mean. "Falling for me?"
"NO WAY NATSUME," Mikan shouted. "Why would I fall for a pervert like you?" Natsume felt a pain in his chest as Mikan ran to the classroom.
"Good Morning, Everyone," Mikan walked through the door with a big smile.
"Good Morning Mikan," Everyone replied back and went back to what they were doing.
"Mikan, are you okay?" said Anna and Nonoko at the same time.
"Yup, they let me out of the hospital last night," said Mikan. "But I can't remember getting there." Anna and Nonoko looked at each other and gave a small smile.
"Hotaru," Mikan noticed Hotaru at her seat and jumped to give her friend a hug but….
BAKABAKA
Mikan was hit but Hotaru's Baka gun.
"Ouch…..," Mikan fell on the other side of the classroom from the impact. "Why'd you do that, Hotaru?"
"Because," Hotaru didn't look up from what she was working on. "I don't want any of your idiot germs to get on me."
"Hotaru, that's mean," Mikan pouted.
"Mikan," said Yuu, as he approached her. "Are you okay?" Yuu helped Mikan up to her feet.
"I'm okay," said Mikan with a big smile that made Yuu blush a little. "Thank you, Yuu."
"N-no problem," Yuu gave her a small smile.
"By the way Yuu," said Mikan. "What happened yesterday? The only thing I remember was being in the café one minute and in the hospital the next."
"Ahh," said Yuu. "You fainted from….."
Then the door opened to reveal Ruka and Natsume walking in. Mikan and Yuu turned to them as they walked in.
"Good Morning Ruka-pyon, Natsume," she gave them a big, warm smile that made them both feel a blush creep up their faces.
"G-good Morning, Mikan," said Ruka, while looking down with a big blush on his face.
Natsume just walked past her and sat down with his bangs covering his face. He took out his manga book and pretended to read as he watched Mikan at the corner of his eye.
"So what were you saying, Yuu?" said Mikan.
"W-well…." Yuu looked at Natsume and didn't want to tell Mikan that she had a heat stroke from Natsume.
"You over-worked yourself," the voice came from behind Yuu. Yuu and Mikan looked to see Hotaru there.
"Hotaru, what do you mean?" said Mikan confused.
"You fainted from exhaustion and Natsume carried you to the hospital," said Hotaru.
"EHHHHHHHHH!!" Mikan was shocked and thought for a minute. So that's why he was there. She blushed a little and looked over to Natsume, who was still pretending to read his manga, but was trying to hold back a blush.
"If you don't believe me," Hotaru reached into her pocket. "Then here's proof." She took out pictures of Natsume carrying her and them sleeping together in the hospital. "Thanks to you, I'm going to be rich," Hotaru had money signs in her eyes as everyone sweatdropped.
Mikan's face was all red, but she didn't know why and thought it was from embarrassment, and then the pictures burst into flames. Everyone turned their attention to Natsume, who was still looking at his manga, still trying to fight back a blush. Then Koko started to laugh out loud but stopped as Natsume was giving him death glares and many vivid thoughts about what he was going to do to Koko. Koko hid under the table as everyone watched, wondering what was going on.
"SAKURA MIKAN," Sumire broke the silence. "How dare you get close with Natsume-kun? You will pay." Sumire was angry as she gave off a murderous aura.
Mochu and Kitsuneme go behind Sumire and hold her back, on Hotaru's orders.
"Calm down, Sumire," said Kitsuneme.
"Yeah," said Mochu. "Or we'll be hit by Imai-san." Sumire shouted and struggled to get out of there grips but…..
BAKA
Sumire got hit by Hotaru's Baka gun and was unconscious.
"You're being loud," said Hotaru in her monotone but somewhat more threatening voice. Everyone inch backwards, hoping not to get on her nerves and get hit.
Mikan walked over to Natsume's seat while everyone was trying to escape Hotaru's wrath. "Thank you Natsume," Mikan gave Natsume a big smile. "For, umm, taking me to the hospital, yesterday." Mikan was blushing a little as she was talking to Natsume. Why am I so nervous? It's just Natsume, she thought.
"Hn," was all Natsume replied, without taking his eyes off his manga but, as usual, was trying to hold back the blush that was creeping up his face.
"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!" Narumi entered the room, wearing a pink tutu outfit and a wig with long, blonde hair. Everyone stared at the teacher's crazy outfit and sweatdropped. "I hope everyone is ready for the play."
"Narumi-sensei," said Mikan.
"Yes, Mikan-chan?" Narumi looked at the little brunette. "Oh, and welcome back. Are you feeling better?" He gave Mikan a hug and picked her up.
"Is it hot in here or is it just me?" said Ruka, wiping off sweat from his forehead.
The temperature in the room was increase, dramatically. Everyone turned to the back, not including Mikan who was smiling at her father figure and saw Natsume burning with jealousy, literally.
"Hehehe….," Narumi laughed nervously and put Mikan down.
"What's wrong, Narumi-sensei?" Mikan was confused because she didn't notice the temperature increase.
"I-it's nothing, Mikan-chan," Narumi walked back to the front of the room as the temperature was slowly becoming normal. "Okay everyone, its time to take roles for the play. The play is about two kingdoms that are going to join by the king's children's marriage. The South Kingdom's king has three daughters and the North Kingdom's king has three sons. They will spend one week with each other in the South Kingdom to get to know each other and on the final day, there will be a ball where they will announce their engagements."
"KYAAAA," some of the girls screamed in the class. "That is so romantic, I want to be a daughter and marry Natsume-kun and Ruka-kun."
"No way," Sumire shouted across the room. "If someone deserves them, it's me."
The class was silent for a moment. "No Way!!" the class replied.
"Oh, by the way," said Narumi interrupting their thoughts. "The one of the sons and daughters are going to be played by Tsubasa and Misaki, okay?"
"Umm, Narumi-sensei?" said Mikan, everyone faced her. "Who does each of them end up with in the end?" Everyone's attention went to back to Narumi.
"Well, I haven't had enough time to finish the play, so we'll just have to go allow with it. So anybody can end up with anybody."
"Okay," Mikan had a little bit of hope because she could end up with Tsubasa if she got the part. Natsume saw this and got angry.
Why does she care so much for that Shadow Freak? he thought. Oh right, the love potion. Damn love potion.
"Okay," Narumi broke Natsume out of his thoughts. "Now we will pick parts." He took out a bucket with everyone's names and started calling out each part.
"Yuu," Yuu looked up as he heard his name and waited. "You will be the king of the South Kingdom." Yuu made a sigh of relief that he wasn't the other crazy parts in the story. One person was a tree, another was a dog and others were just random people or objects in the background.
"And you're queen is…… Nonoko," Nonoko gave a sigh of relief as well and gave Yuu a smile.
"Koko, you are the king of the North Kingdom and your Queen is Anna."
Koko and Anna both faced each other and smiled, while silently thanking that they both got good parts.
"Sumire….. You are,"
"Obviously I am going to be paired up with Natsume-kun or Ruka-kun, right?"
"A servant of the North Kingdom along with Mochu."
"WHAT?!" Sumire screamed in disbelief. "Why? I should be with Natsume-kun or Ruka-kun."
"Sorry, Shouda but I can't change that." Sumire sank back in her seat with disappointment.
"Ruka….. You are one of the sons and the daughter is….," most the girls were silently praying, hoping they would get the part. "Hotaru," most of the girls in the class stared in disbelief and Hotaru and Ruka blushed a little, but no one noticed.
"Why does Hotaru get to be one of the daughters with Ruka-kun?" Sumire and the other fan girls shouted across the room.
"Be quiet," Hotaru said that in a menacing, evil voice at the girls, who were now frozen from her murderous aura. "You're being loud." She then aimed her Baka gun at the girls and they ran back to their seats for safety. As the silence clung in the air, Narumi continued.
"Natsume….. You are one of the sons and the other daughter is….," everyone was silent to hear who would get the role. Silence clung in the classroom as Narumi put his hand in the bucket and began to pick something out. He opened the paper as the students leaned on their seats closer to see who got the part. Then a smile formed on Narumi's face. "The daughter is Mikan." Everyone gasped and Mikan and Natsume stared in surprise. But Natsume quickly changed it into a smirk.
"What do you know Polka Dots?" said Natsume to the surprised Mikan. "You have the honor of being with me on stage." YES, Natsume thought. I get the chance to be with Mikan.
Mikan was silent for a moment, trying to collect everything in to her mind. I got a part, she thought. I guess its okay since Natsume got one to but why am I so nervous?
"I guess I am," Mikan flashed Natsume a smile and Natsume tried to fight back a blush.
All the fan girls in the class argued about the fact that Mikan got the part with Natsume and not them. But as usual, they were quieted by the murderous aura and threats from Hotaru, who had enough of their complaining.
"Oh, by the way," Narumi was by the door, about to leave. "Their will be a kissing scene okay? So make sure you know your lines by tonight and their will be rehearsal in an hour okay?" and he left the room with a bunch of silent children. As soon as he left, all the kids were screaming.
"A KISSING SCENE!!" one person screamed.
"Who is it with?"
"I guess it is with the people who end up together in the end."
"That means it is with Natsume-kun, Ruka-kun, Sakura-san, Imai-san, Tsubasa-senpai and Misaki-senpai."
They were all asking questions, except Mikan, Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume, who were just sitting their quietly.
Hotaru shot most of them with her Baka gun to stop their panicking screams and everyone froze to hear what the 'Ice Queen' wanted to say. She went into her desk and took out the script for the play. She skimmed through it silently as the class watched her, waiting for her answer. Then she stopped.
"Hotaru," Mikan broke the silence. "What does it say?"
"Like Narumi-sensei said," Hotaru was reading the script. "The play isn't finished. However the play goes is how they choose who goes with whom."
Everyone was silent in the classroom. The silence stayed for what felt like an eternity as everyone tried to process the strange truth in to their heads.
…
…
… "WHAT!!" everyone jumped and screamed. "How can that be?"
The four main characters were all blushing and staying silent.
So I get the chance to kiss Mikan, eh? Natsume thought. Maybe this play won't be so bad. A smirk formed on Natsume's face as he continued to pretend to read his manga.
OMG!! Mikan was nervous. I don't know who it's going to end. I can end up with Ruka-pyon, Tsubasa-senpai or Natsume. I hope I get Tsubasa-senpai then I can get to kiss him. Mikan kept thinking things over and over in her head as the screams in the classroom continued.
The script isn't finished? Ruka was confused and nervous. I thought Narumi-sensei was joking. Then I can end up with….. Mikan. I hope I can. If not, I will end up with Misaki-senpai or worse, Imai-san. But for some reason, that doesn't sound too bad. No, I have to end up with Mikan. Ruka kept fidgeting in his seat as he continued to ponder his thoughts.
Hmm, thought Hotaru, she was reading over the play. I wonder how this will end. I guess this is a good thing for Mikan, whoever she ends up with, and might stop the love potion. Also, I'll get good pictures to sell from Hyuuga and Nogi. This will also give major points to the person in our game. A small smile appeared in Hotaru's face but no one noticed under the noise of the class. I have to get Mikan and Hyuuga together in the end to be in my favor.
"Mikan, Hotaru," Anna and Nonoko broke the four kids thoughts. "Isn't it great? You guys got the main role and there is even a kissing scene. It's so romantic."
"Oi," Natsume said. "How is that antidote coming along? I want my room back."
"Don't worry," said Nonoko. "It should be done by the end of the week."
"Whatever," Natsume got off from his seat. He headed for the door, with Ruka behind him.
"Let's go eat lunch," said Mikan. "Then let's go get ready for rehearsal."
Mikan, Anna and Nonoko got up and headed for the door.
"Hotaru," Mikan turned around to see her best friend thinking. "Are you coming?"
"I have to do something," Hotaru got up and headed for the door. "I'll be right back."
"Okay," said Mikan. "We'll be outside then."
Mikan, Anna and Nonoko went down the hall to get outside, while Hotaru headed in the opposite direction. The direction where Natsume and Ruka went.
Hotaru found Natsume and Ruka walking.
"Hey," Natsume and Ruka turned around to see Hotaru standing there. "So, what are you guys going to do?"
Both boys froze and stood in place in silence.
"Whoever gets it," Hotaru continued. "Will get more points in the 'Attention Game' and will get a kiss. Also, if one of you guys kisses her, the love potion might end unless it's Andou."
Both boys looked up with determination in their eyes and Hotaru smirked.
It's working, thought Hotaru. Now all I have to do is get Mikan and Hyuuga together.
"So," Hotaru stared at them. "Who will get the kiss?"
insaneoneX: I'm sorry if it's not as good as you expected but I had more writers block. Now I understand why writers have problems. For some reason, nothing is coming to me. I have ideas but they don't go together T.T. Also, I'm sorry for updating so late, I've been so busy this past week because of tests, friends and family things. But I still hope you enjoy it.
-If any of you guys have any ideas on the play, like who should end up with who, events that lead to this and little twists, please tell me. I need ideas.
Thank You
