Sorry I didn't update for so long. I got depressed then I didn't want to type -.-"
Warning: This chapter will have quite a lot of jumping from place to place and semi long POV's
(Ruka does go to Gakuen Alice just that he doesn't have any classes with Mikan and stuff so they never saw each other when they were in school until 'that thing')
I do not own Gakuen Alice but I do own Kotara Aiyumi. XD
Confusing Love Square
Chapter 10
Imai's
"Hotaru-sama. You have to come home early today because of the recording." Hotaru's maid reminded her.
"Ya ok. I'll call you when I'm at the gate." Hotaru said grabbing her bag walking out the door.
Hyuuga's
"Would you hurry up? You took forever." Natsume told Mikan dragging her out the door.
"You've decided what you're going to do with the singing contract thing right? We have to leave school early today to go meet them."
"Why should you care and what do you mean 'WE'?" Mikan screamed in the limo.
"Okaa wanted me to follow you. Don't ask me why cause' I don't know either." Natsume replied simply.
"Fine. . ." Mikan turned to the window staring at a boy getting a balloon. (Aww so cute)
Mikan's POV
The driver told us we could get off. Natsume got out then I did. I looked to my right and I saw that bitch of a Hotaru get out of her limo. She smiled an evil smile and walked towards Natsume.
"Natsume do you want to go out after school?" The bitch said smiling like she was some sort of 'angel'.
"I cant I have to follow Mikan to a recording studio but after that would be ok."
Natsume replied with no emotion at all. Hotaru's smile disappeared. Oh so when he's talking to her he uses my name just great.
"Recording studio? Since when?" Hotaru asked lifting an eye brown.
"It's none of your business." I said pulling Natsume by the hand into the school.
Natsume's POV
"Bitch. . ." I heard polka mutter under her breath while we were walking down the halls.
"What did you say?" I asked her, it made her blush but it soon went away.
"It's nothing . . . . . . Why do you even bother anyway? It's not like you care what I think about her anyway right?" Her face had no emotion at all.
I didn't know she could pull something like that off she's always smiling like an idiot.
"That face doesn't suit you polka. Lighten up." I said pulling her cheeks. Damn, why does she have to be so cute?
"Buzz off Hyuuga." Mikan said pushing my hands away. Oh shit she's real mad now. How do I know you ask? Well she used my last name.
"Tch" I walked away from her. Damn, me and my stupid pride.
End of POV
Canteen
Mikan was sitting alone on a bench eating her lunch. Suddenly something hit her head. She turned to see who had done it and she found an angry looking Hotaru across the canteen telling her to come. Mikan, afraid of what might happen did as she was told.
Mikan's POV
What does Hotaru want with me? Then it came to me oh shit why not just kill me now and take me away from this fucked up world? When I reached Hotaru she told me to follow her. I just listened.
We came to a stop. We were in a deserted locker room. I tried to get out but failed to since Hotaru had already locked the door. Hotaru gave me an evil stare. I don't like where this is going. . .
(For reason's you people don't need to know I will not show what will happen after that. I will start where Mikan comes out of the locker room (but you can go fantasize if you want))
Normal POV
"Where's polka? I didn't see her in the canteen. She better come out on time. If she went around chasing some weird looking butterfly again I'm gonna kick her ass." Natsume thought as he walked down the empty hallways to the gate of the school.
Natsume waited for Mikan for a few minutes. He got impatient and decided to go look for her but when he reached for the door knob. It opened inward to revile a Mikan covered in cuts and bruises. (Her face was not hurt)
Natsume opened his mouth to speak but Mikan stopped him.
"Shh. Don't say anything just get in the limo we're late." Natsume followed
Mikan's orders as he didn't want to make her mad (Again).
The two go into the limo. Natsume took out a first aid kit. He opened the box and took out an alcohol swipe.
"This might hurt a little." Natsume told Mikan as his hand moved closer to Mikan's arm where there was a big cut.
Mikan didn't reply but she closed her eyes and braced for impact. Mikan flinched the pain was unbearable. (Well to her at least) It was worse then when Hotaru *** her. (no that's not a bad word)
When Natsume finished cleaning Mikan's wound they were only half way there.
"Wow I never knew Natsume could be so gentle and when did he learn how to clean wounds and stuff?" Mikan thought staring at, Natsume who was clearly looking for something at the back of the limo.
"Here." Natsume said passing a yellow hoodie jacket.
"Natsume it's yellow." Mikan pointed out.
"It is but its better then letting the whole world see those marks on your arm." Mikan took the jacket and wore it. (I thought Mikan liked yellow)
She leaned her head against Natsume's shoulder and whispered. "Thank you." Natsume smiled at Mikan. She had fallen asleep. Natsume gave Mikan a little kiss on her forehead.
"Mikan, we're here." Mikan blinked a few time's before saying. "Here where?" Mikan yawned.
"At ATB studios." Mikan got out of the limo right away and smiled.
"Good afternoon world!" Mikan shouted stretching. "Ouch."
"You ok?" Natsume asked worried.
"Yea I just forgot my arms were . . . you know." Natsume smiled and held Mikan's hand lightly. The two walked in ATB studios hand in hand.
"Where are we supposed to meet Ryuu?" Natsume asked.
"Room 5. It should be right . . . about . . . here." Mikan stopped in front of a door. She turned the knob to find a very impatient Ryuu tapping his finger.
"Mikan you're 5 minutes late." Ryuu said sternly.
"Gomen. . . our teacher didn't let us go till . . ." Ryuu didn't let Mikan finish her sentence.
"It's ok. So, about the contract?"
"I'm ok with it. Just . . . When you said band. Do I get to choose my own members and the name?"
"Of cause you get to choose your own but we have to audition all of them." Ryuu half shouted.
"How long do we get to find them?" Natsume asked.
"48 hours we have to start recording soon and don't worry about a manger Rei shall be your manger." Ryuu replied.
"But he wears so much black." Mikan whispered.
"Come on we need to find band member's." Natsume said pulling Mikan out of the room. While they were walking towards the limo Natsume whispered.
"I can play the guitar if you want you know."
"Since when were you able to play the guitar?" Mikan asked getting into the limo.
"I don't know since I was 6? I've not really played it much since I was 13 though." Natsume answered.
"Two years is a very long time, Natsume. Can you even still remember the cords?"
"Well you won't know till you try. Let's just go home first."
"Kay." The two sat in the limo. Not a single sound was heard. The silence was pretty awkward. Neither Natsume nor Mikan dared to say a word. Soon the atmosphere softened.
Mikan sighed in relief. Natsume looked at her face and started to laugh.
"What?" Mikan asked a confused look on her face. Natsume pointed to the mirror and said.
"Your –giggle- express –giggle- tion" Mikan looked at the mirror. Both of them busts into pits of laughter.
SGHO Studios (where Hotaru goes to)
"Hotaru, we're going to start recording now kay?" Hotaru's manger, Yuki asked. Hotaru nodded. The music started to play. . .
Crazier by Taylor Swift
I never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Till you open the door there's so much more
I never seen it before
I was tryin' to fly
But I couldn't find wings
But you came along and you changed everything
You lift my feet off the ground you spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling
And I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
I watched from a distance as you made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something that I couldn't see
You opened my eyes and you made me believe
You lift my feet off the ground you spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling
and I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
Baby you showed me what living is for
I don't want to hide anymore more~
You lift my feet off the ground you spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling
And I I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
Crazier crazier
Yuki gave Hotaru a thumb's up. Hotaru took off her headset and walked out the door.
"I'm gonna get a drink." Hotaru walked out of the recording room. As soon as Hotaru was out she whipped out her phone and started texting Ruka.
Text: Hey sry can't hang out today at the studio. Hotaru closed her phone and walked back into the recording studio.
"Let's continue." Hotaru said with no emotion. Yuki nodded though she knew that Hotaru was playing with her phone again or something.
Hyuuga's Mansion
"Where do you even keep your guitar? I mean this place (Natsume's room) is already full of trophies and stuff." Mikan asked.
"Behind the closet." Natsume said looking for something.
"Natsume, behind your closet is that tree thingy." Mikan put her hand on her waist.
"Hmph you can remember it's there." Natsume found a remote like thing and pressed a red button on it. Soon a little door appeared and it opened to revile a red guitar.
"Is that yours?" Mikan asked.
"Yea it is." Natsume replied.
"Well come on play a song. Please?" Mikan begged.
"One condition, if I play you sing." Natsume smirked.
"Ok hmm what about . . . Obvious by Hey Monday?" Mikan said with a thinking look. Natsume nodded and started to play.
Obvious by Hey Monday
Let's make a mess
Steal a kiss in the moment
You and me everything that could be
Touch don't go stay as long as you like
Let's get reckless
Dance with our hands to the beat
Don't let this slip through our fingers
It feels insane don't you put up a fight
Let's rough it up 'Till they
Shut it down
It's ah ah obvious
Right here's where the party
Starts with you and me
All alone no one has to know
It's ah ah obvious to me
How it's gonna be
Ah ah obvious
When you come close to me
Let's make a scene
Like the movies in out dreams
Make me a scream
Take me down no one's watching
Close your eyes
Play it back and rewind
So surreal at the story unfolds on the screen
Stop staling the credits are rolling
Hold me now before we run out of
Time
Let's rough it up 'Till the end of
The night
It's ah ah obvious
Right here's where the party
Starts with you and me
All alone no one has
To know
It's ah ah obvious
To me
How it's gonna be
Ah ah obvious
When you come close to me
"How was that?" Natsume asked. Mikan nodded.
"It was real good but we still have to find a drummer, bass guitar/keyboard. Anyone you know come to mind?" Mikan asked.
Natsume paused for a while then said. "Kotara Aiyumi. She can play almost any instrument you know. She can also sing if you want her to she's the easy going type of person so it should be easy to get her. I can tell you one thing though never call her by her surname. She'll make you live in a hospital for a year." Natsume had no emotion on his face.
Mikan's eye twitched. "Anything else I should know about her?"
"Yes, she has the Ice Alice. Don't make her use it because if she does you might die." Natsume smirked.
"O-ok s-s-so w-wh-where d-does she li-live?" Mikan was trembling.
"Few blocks down."
"Natsume is everyone you know rich?"
". . . Besides you, Yes" Mikan sweat drop, Natsume pulled Mikan out of the door and they started walking down the street.
When they reached Kotara's house Mikan saw a gold plating that read: Kotara Residence. Natsume pressed the doorbell. Soon a maid came and opened the door.
"Konnichiwa Natsume-sama. You haven't been here in a while. Are you looking for Aiyumi-hime?"
"Yea and I thought she didn't like you calling her Aiyumi-hime?" Natsume asked.
The maid nodded and led them into the mansion.
"Aiyumi-sama is in her room." With that the maid left them. Natsume started walking up some stairs. Mikan, assuming Natsume knew is way around the House followed him.
Natsume knocked on a door music was coming from and said.
"Hey, Ai(Short 4 Aiyumi) you there?" The music stopped. The door opened. A girl with dark brown hair and lighter brown high lights up to her shoulder about 6' stood there with a guitar in her hands.
"Tch. Natsume, what are you doing in my house and why did you bring your girlfriend along?" Aiyumi asked annoyed.
"Ah I'm not his girlfriend. I'm Sakura Mikan, nice to meet you Aiyumi-san." Mikan said stretching out her hand.
"I'm sure." Aiyumi said softly and closed the door with a bang.
"Did I make her mad?" Mikan asked.
"No you didn't. She's just in a bad mood. Just wait a few minutes. She'll let us in . . . sooner or later." Mikan and Natsume went to the living room to wait for Aiyumi.
After about 10 minutes Natsume's phone rang he got a text. He grabbed Mikan and they went back to Aiyumi's door. 'Knock knock' Aiyumi opened the door with a bored look on her face.
"So what did you want?" She asked Natsume.
"Join our band." Natsume said with a blank look on his face.
"Talk in the room." Aiyumi pulled Natsume and Mikan into her room and shut the door.
SGHO Studios
"Let's start the 5th song." Hotaru said stepping into the booth. Yuki nodded and pressed some buttons. The music started to play Hotaru started to sing. A few seconds later she stopped. Why you ask? She saw Ruka standing behind Yuki smiling. Hotaru Threw off her headset and ran towards Ruka.
Hotaru hugged Ruka and he hugged back.
"Hey what are you doing here?" Hotaru asked.
"You're not happy I came?" Ruka frowned.
"No, I'm very happy you came but don't you have work to do?"
"Well I wanted to support you while you were singing." Ruka smiled.
"Okay. I finish recording at 5 p.m. Do you. . ." Hotaru was cut off by Yuki.
"I'm sorry to stop your convocation but Hotaru; we need to continue recording or we won't be able to finish by 5. Come on in the booth you go." Yuki pushed Hotaru into the booth and they continued recording.
Kotara's Mansion (Aiyumi's room)
"So you're telling me, you want me to join your band." Aiyumi confirmed.
"Yes. . . We only have 48 hours to find people so it would be real helpful if you could join us." Mikan answered.
"Ok then, I'm in but what's the band name?" Aiyumi asked.
"The thing is we don't know." Mikan blushed.
"Well then we've gotta think of one." Aiyumi said smiling.
"But before we make the band name, we need to know what genre Mikan-chan likes to sing and stuff."
"Well I like pop but. . ." Natsume cut her. "I am not going to make some cute pop group with you."
"You didn't let me finish Natsume." Aiyumi giggled.
"Sorry Mikan-chan please go on."
"As I was saying I like pop but I'm also ok with things like rock or punk and alternative but I don't really like too much punk. It's too . . . dark." Mikan said nodding slowly.
"You mean like this?" Aiyumi plugged her electric guitar into a speaker and started playing some high pitched song.
"Y-yea and I think I've gone deaf." Mikan said rubbing her ear.
"So what should we call the band? I say go for something slightly emo. " Natsume said getting impatient.
"What about 'Broken Hearts' oh I know 'Fallen Angles'?" Aiyumi asked.
"That's too deep." Mikan said crossing her arms.
"'Shattered Dreams'?" Natsume asked.
"Natsume, that's even worse." Mikan rolled her eyes.
"Well you're not choosing anything." Natsume stared at Mikan.
"He has a point Mikan." Aiyumi said taking a bite from an apple.
"Aiyumi-san where did you get the apple from?" Mikan pointed to the apple.
"The mini fridge. You want one? Oh and Mikan you can just call me Aiyumi or Ai for short." Aiyumi asked.
"No thanks and ok Ai."
"Hey if you two are finished with your little apple talk, can we please carry on? We still need to think of a band name." Natsume was getting very irritated.
"Somebody's angry."
"Mikan-chan I suggest we don't provoke Natsume anymore." Aiyumi said with innocent eyes.
"Still so much of an actress huh? You've been like that since you were young you know." Natsume smirked
"What do you care Natsume?" Aiyumi said rolling her eyes.
"CAN WE PLEASE JUST THINK OF A BAND NAME? WE DON'T HAVE 3 MILLION YEARS!" Mikan shouted.
Aiyumi and Natsume twitched.
"You're the one that can't decide Mikan. Just choose one of the two so we can go home."
"Fine I choose . . . Fallen Angles." Mikan finally choose.
SGHO studios
"So where do you want to go today?" Ruka asked.
"Sorry Ruka I can't go out today. My parents want me home for dinner today." Hotaru lied. That day she had to go dinner with Natsume. (Remember? If you don't go back and READ)
"Ok then, how about I walk you home?" Ruka offered
"Er. . . No need. . . My driver is coming." Hotaru said faking a smile.
"Oh. . .er. . .ok then see you." Ruka said with a confused look. Hotaru nodded.
Me: . Hotaru's gonna get. . .
Mikan: RENA! NO BAD GIRL
Me: Sorry back to story.
"I think something's wrong with Hotaru I better follow her." Ruka thought.
"I should break up with Hyuuga before anything gets out of hand. It won't matter anyway that baka Sakura is just a waste of time." Hotaru thought walking out of the studio. (Mikan your're free! BANZAI lolz)
Aiyumi's Room (Mikan's POV)
"Good, come on little girl I have to meet Hotaru for dinner today." Natsume said dragging me out of the room.
When we were both in the limo, it came to me.He has a date with Hotaru. I almost forgot that they were . . . dating. . . (sry if the next parts are bad)
"Hey you ok? You seem lost in thought." Natsume stared at me. Damn how is he able to read me so well?
"Y-you're not coming home for dinner right?"
"Yea I have another horrible date with Imai." Ouch I feel like I just got stabbed.
"What did you mean by horrible?" That's it I set off the bomb I'm gonna kill myself in the morning.
"Isn't it obvious I don't like Imai?" Ok now I'm really gonna kill myself.
"If you don't like her why are you going out with her?" Why can't I keep my big mouth shut?
"My parents. . . Is someone getting jealous?" Damn it why not just kill me now.
"I-I am not." Shit I'm blushing.
"Oh so you're saying that you hate me?" Great the guy is teasing me now.
"I've never said that."
"So if you're saying you like me?" oh just kill me and bring me to hell already.
"What if I said I loved you?" What the hell is my mind thinking? My mouth is moving on its own. Wait, is Hyuuga blushing? He hid it behind his bags.
"What if I said I loved you back?"
"A-are you ser. . ." I couldn't finish. Natsume kissed me.
I kissed him back. We came out after a few seconds for air. Natsume hugged me and whispered into my ear.
"Of course I'm serious."
Natsume let go but I didn't let him. I didn't even care if my arms were still pain. I wanted to stay in that position forever but sadly my life was too messed up for it to happen.
"Natsume-sama, Mikan-sama we have reached the house." Damn I wanna kill that driver. He has such bad timing. Ugh I hate my life.
"It's ok . . . clam down." Natsume's voice was so claming, it was so smoothing. There was so much warmth in it.
I can't believe this was the once arrogant guy I meet a few years ago. I doubt he remembers us meeting when we were younger anyways . . .
Flashback (before Mi's parents died)
"Hey watch where you're going!" Natsume shouted. Mikan had bumped into him in the hallway.
"Ah gomen."
"What are you another fan girl?" Natsume was starting to piss Mikan off.
"I don't even know you pig head. Don't go around calling people your fan girl!" Mikan yelled.
"Oh someone's angry."
"Do I even know you?"
"Obviously not, because if you did know who I was, you wouldn't be screaming at me!" Natsume spat.
"Well if you knew who I was you wouldn't be just sitting there!"
End of Flashback
"I do remember you know." What? How the hell did he read my mind?
"Please Mikan, you're so easy to read. It was obvious you were having another flashback. Anyway sorry I have to leave you now I have that date with Hotaru, remember?" Natsume gave me a short kiss on my forehead.
"Bye Natsume cya later." I said softly.
"Cya." I walked into the house.
"Mikan, didn't Natsume come home with you?" Kaoru asked.
"Erm. . . he did but he said he had a date with Hotaru. So he won't be coming home for dinner either." Mikan replied.
"Oh ok never mind. Go get changed. Tsubasa and Mr Hyuuga are not coming home for dinner so let's have a girl's night out." Kaoru clapped her hands excitedly.
"Hai! Okaa-san!" Mikan smiled and ran to her room to get ready.
Natsume's POV
Where was I supposed to meet Hotaru again? Man I've got to break up with her. Is that Hotaru? Oh well I just better go meet her.
I should beat around the bush first so I don't hurt her feelings. What the hell am I talking a bout since when do I care about peoples feelings?
"Hotaru, where do you want to go for dinner?"
"Anywhere is fine but after that I need to tell you so something. . ." Tell me something huh? Me too.
We ended up going to 'Hua La La.' It might sound like a stupid name but the food there is great.
"I'll have the crab sandwich" Hotaru told the waiter.
"Egg." I told him simply. He nodded then disappeared.
"Ruka gave you the necklace didn't he?" Hotaru looked surprised but it faded away in a second.
"How did you know?" She faked a cute smile.
"Don't act like some goodie two shoes Imai. I know. . ."
"Erm you meal is here." The waiter set down the food and ran away. We both ate not saying a single word. I guess it was because of that waiter I guess I would have to tell her later.
I have to say though this is the worse night ever. Knowing okaa she would end up bringing Aoi and Mikan out.
It's bad enough that I have to break up with Hotaru in a shopping mall but if she decade's to come here with everyone and we just so happen to meet I would be dead. With my life that's bond to happen.
When we finished our dinner, I paid the bill and we both walked out silently. When we were out of the restaurant, I saw a blonde kid and from the back I could swear it was Ruka.
Was he stalking Hotaru or something? I mean I know their going out but why would Ruka follow Hotaru. Unless he doesn't know. . .
(A/N: man I felt like making Natsume say OMG but it would sound girlish)
Mikan's POV
"Ano okaa where are we going to eat?" I asked as I looked at her.
"I don't know maybe we could do a little shopping first." She said smiling. Suddenly I spotted someone.
It wasn't just another someone though. It was the some one who I had confessed to earlier this evening. It was Natsume Hyuuga and he was with Hotaru. They both had a very serious look on their faces.
"Okka is that Natsume?" I asked.
"Well well I guess it is. He must be on his date with Hotaru now." Okaa was smiling widely she must really want Hotaru to marry Natsume. Then I noticed something.
"Okaa, do you notice that both Natsume's and Hotaru's faces are well . . . way too hard. There's no emotion in their faces at all." I pointed out to okaa.
"Now that you think about it you're right Mikan-chan come on let's hide and see what happens." Kaoru pulled me and Aoi behind a wall near Natsume and Hotaru and started eavesdropping.
"Okaa is not right to eavesdrop!" I hissed.
"Come on Mikan-chan just this once. Please?" Okaa said with puppy dog eyes.
"Fine but if we get caught I'm blaming you." Aoi remained silent but she was staring at Natsume and Hotaru with gleaming eyes. I sighed like mother like daughter I guess.
Natsume's POV
That's it, now I just know there are at least four people watching us. I'm sure one of them is okaa.
Hotaru's POV
"Natsume. . ." I said loud enough for few people around us to hear.
"I need to tell you something."
"Hn me too." He answered.
"You go first." I wanted to hear what Hyuuga had to say I'm just that type of person it might be worth something anyway. $_$
Ruka's POV
"I wanna break up." What is Natsume saying? Since when were him and Hotaru dating?
"Well that just makes it a whole lot easier I want to break up too." I froze. H-Hotaru? Why did you just say that please tell me that you're lying.
I couldn't take it anymore I got out from where I was hiding.
"Ho-Hotaru this is a joke right?" She was shocked to see me.
"Ru-Ruka what are you doing here? I th-thought y-you went h-ho-home."
I can't believe my ears. This was just so wrong.
"Ruka before you say anything I need to get three baka's out of here. I'll explain everything to you later." Natsume smiled I wasn't mad at him he tried to tell me before but I took it as a joke. I nodded back at him.
Natsume's POV (fast one)
"Oi three of you get out of there now. I know you're behind the wall don't make me pull you out." Mikan ran out but okaa and Aoi didn't want to.
"Natsume gom . . ." I didn't let her finish.
"Its ok I can tell they probably dragged you into it." I gave Mikan a little kiss on the cheek and Aoi and okaa immediately came out and screamed. "WHAT?"
Normal POV (starts where Ru's POV left)
"Hotaru do you even love me?" Ruka was getting angry.
"Of cause I do Ruka! The only reason I dated Hyuuga was because Sakura liked him!" Natsume glared at Hotaru but she ignored it.
"Hotaru even if that's true you dated him to hurt someone else!"
"Ruka . . ." Hotaru fell to her knees.
"Don't give me that crap anymore Imai." Coldness was in his voice.
"Ruka please, trust me. . ." He cut her.
"How can I ever trust you again?" Ruka yelled.
"Ruka please just listen to me. . ." Hotaru had tears in her eyes.
"Sorry Imai but to me you played with my heart, broke it and walked away like nobody's business. We're over."
Ruka walked towards Natsume (yes the four of them were still there) and whispered.
"You're house you've got a lot to explain . . ." Natsume smirked at this remark. The five of them walked towards Natsume's house. . .
Hyuuga Mansion
"So it was like that huh?" Ruka said frowning.
"Ya." Was Natsume's straight forward reply.
"Natsume congratz. Be nice to Mikan she's a good girl." Ruka said smiling for he had also liked Mikan when they were kids. Natsume wrapped Mikan in his arms and she cuddled up to him.
