She quickly got her cellphone, and when she saw who's calling, abruptly stood up and said,
"shoot, gotta answer this, BRB" and dashed off….
Chapter 10
Normal pov
After the movie, they bid goodnight and went to their rooms, except for a certain raven haired girl, who's worried about something, that it didn't go unnoticed by her fiancé.
"hotaru, are you okay? You look pale" he pointed out while he hugs her from behind.
"hmm, I'm just worried about mikan," hotaru replied as she hugs him back.
"why?"
"well, let's just say that a certain devil will come back home on Saturday…" (A/N: in the story, it's Thursday already.)
"okay…does mikan know this devil?"
"of course, it's her brother,"
"what? Her devil brother that you told me about?"
"yes"
"the over protective little brother?"
"yes, can you please stop it with the question and answer portion?" hotaru said as she chuckled.
"o-okay, kobanwa, hotaru" ruka said as he pecked her cheek,
"goodnight."
With that, ruka went to his room and they both have a goodnight's sleep.
Meanwhile in natsume's room…
Natsume, by this time, is now lying on his bed, reading his manga. Well, that's what it looks like; he's really waiting for a certain someone so that he could go to sleep….
"tch, where's that baka?" he asked impatiently as he glanced at the clock. Then the door opened, revealing a pair of hazel orbs, peeking from the small creak, like hiding from her predator.
"h-hi natsume…" she then muttered, enough for him to hear,
"hn, will you just get in here and let's sleep already?" he said, looking at her, mikan stomped her way inside and gave him a perfect view,
She was wearing a pink, silk, knee-high nightgown, with matching pink, fluffy slippers. Her long, soft hair was let down, and she was hugging the same cat that he got for her in her date. Natsume almost drooled in the sight of his angel, but good thing he could still control his feelings, or else he might attack her anytime now.
"so? Where will I sleep?" mikan asked, while eyeing him. He's wearing a white muscle shirt and some black boxers.
"what do you mean? You sleep there," he then pointed to the carpeted floor, with two pillows, a comforter and a blanket.
"WHAT? I'm going to sleep there? Why can't I sleep on the bed, and you sleep there?" she stomped her way to his side.
"hn, first of all, this will be my room for the week, meaning that I could decide where you'd sleep, and I chose that you'll sleep on the floor. Now quit whinning and sleep already"
"you're such a jerk! Talk about being a gentleman"
"hn, whatever" and then turned off the lights, leaving the lampshade on, and went inside the sheets, facing mikan, while mikan facing her back to him, and said,
"good night natsume, and don't do anything stupid 'cause you'll die the next day, 'kay?"
"tch, who would do that to you?"
And both went to sleep….but natsume was itching for a kiss, so he tossed the sheets and got up, he went to mikan's side, the latter is sleeping soundly, and then kissed her cheek,
"good night…"
The next day lunchtime…
Everyone was having a peaceful lunch, all talking about something and keeping themselves busy. As for hotaru and mikan, as usual, mikan is being the patient best friend she is while hotaru's being the 'master' of her best friend. Then, she glanced at ruka, who was seating across her, and nodded.
"oi, dummy. You remember the call I received last night?" hotaru asked her.
"ummm….no, why?"
"tsk, what do I expect form a dummy from you? Mikan wa baka."
"hey! I was just watching the movie with all my heart and mind that's all!"
"yeah right, like you have a brain, well anyways, guess who called?"
"uhmmm…is it logan? Is he checking on me~? Kyyaa!"
"baka, how would he? The one who called is-"
"PERMY?"
"nope."
"MOCHU?"
"nope."
"AKIRA?"
"baka. It's your brother." When hotaru announced impatiently, raising her voice enough for the whole group to hear, everyone stopped. Misaki and tsubasa stopped bickering, anna and nonoko gasped, koko and yuu glanced to them, with a mikan-has-a-brother look, natsume and ruka just looked at mikan while the latter just smiled and clapped,
"yehey~! youichi will finally come home~! And I thought he'll have an extended stay there in the US!"
"m-mikan, what will your brother do if he saw guys in here? We're so gonna die!" misaki shouted as she wave her arms up and down.
"yeah! Do you remember how he treated your suitors? What if he saw natsume-" anna was then interrupted by mikan.
"well, first of all, everyone here is my best friend, and second, no one is my suitor anyways, plus, I didn't have any suitors! They're all just my guy friends!" she pointed out, while everyone, including natsume, sighed desperately.
"really, you're soo dense baka." Hotaru said as she poke mikan's forehead.
"is it my fault I'm that dense?"
"yes." Everyone chorused, while natsume just smirked, but deep inside, was feeling like he was stabbed in the middle of his heart because of mikan's denseness.
"anyways, what are you going to do when youichi comes home? Well, all of the girls and me are safe, how about the other four?" tsubasa said, quite proud about what he said, then just on cue, mikan's phone began ringing…..
Oh, her eyes, eyes, makes the stars look like they're not shining, her hair her hair-
"hai~! Who's this?" mikan answered cheerfully.
"what a baka, you didn't check the caller id." A familiar voice came from the other line. Hotaru heard the voice and quickly got one of her inventions, which was a mini speaker, but mind you is very powerful, and quickly plugged it on mikan's phone.
"youichi! You're so mean! You can atleast call me onee chan, you know!" mikan stated as she pouted.
"tsk, I could call you whatever I want, oh and did hotaru nee tell you about my arrival?"
"see! You called hotaru hotaru nee, while me, being your sister, isn't called by that!"
"baka. She acts more mature than you. You didn't answer my first question"
"hai~! I'm really excited! How's life there at the u.s? did you meet okaa and otou san?"
"yup, they're actually at our mansion here. But I'll be going home there earlier than them, they'll stay here for a month, I think. I'm actually aboard the plane right now."
"yehey~! I'll prepare a welcome back party just for you!"
"hn, no thanks, I don't need one, oh by the way, anyone courting you?"
"nobody!"
"hmmm…..really, huh? That's not what I heard from hotaru nee, though"
"what? She said something to you?" mikan's now blushing.
"hmm, let's just see. Well, see you guys tomorrow, mikan nee, the four girls, tsubasa nii, natsume, ruka, yuu, and koko, expect my return." Then that ended the conversation. 'this will be interesting...' he thought.
Everyone was shocked to know that youichi already knew about all of them, but how?
Just then, the yukihara's maid, maria, came in…
"gomen for interrupting, but I was the one who said youichi sama that you have guests, mikan sama. I apologize for saying things I shoudn't have." While bowing to all of them, mikan just flashed her one of her sweet smiles and said,
"it's okay, don't worry. Just prepare you chan's room for his arrival."
"hai." And with that, maria left the room.
"umm, mikan, isn't youichi mad? You know, about us here?" yuu asked her, with a worried tone.
"I hope so, well anyways, let's start with the preparations of the welcoming party~!" mikan then announced happily, while everyone just heaved a heavy sigh…
"baka. Didn't your brother just tell you he didn't need one? He'll just probably get mad at you, you know?" natsume pointed out, while ruka just agreed with him.
"sigh….fine. then I don't have anything to do today!" mikan then rested her head on her palm, then hotaru suddenly received a call and answered it, then motioned everyone to shut up and listen.
"oi dummy, don't say such things easily. 'cause we girls have a photo shoot later at 4 pm. The theme is all about summer."
"yehey~! I can't wait for it!" anna exclaimed with nonoko nodded in agreement.
"but the thing is, I hope the guys will behave themselves while they stay here, ne?" misaki said. Ruka just smiled and said,
"oh, don't worry, we won't be here later, too. 'cause we will go with you girls in your photo shoot."
"yeah, I wouldn't leave mikan chan alone!" tsubasa said as he raised his left arm with determination…
BAKA BAKA BAKA!
"ok, fine, but after this, we will go on a shopping spree, you guys will carry our things, is that clear?" hotaru said, while she kept her baka gun, which she just used to target tsubasa, away.
"but-"
"good. So it's settled." Hotaru cut in.
3:30 pm….yukihara's mansion….
(A/N: I won't include the brand…so you guys can imagine on your own~!)
Everyone now is settled, hotaru was in her gray shirt dress with sone white knee shorts and black gladiators. Mikan is wearing a pink knit cap, a white mini dress that reached her mid thigh and has red rose petals designs at the hems, peach mini shorts, and light brown boots.
Anna and nonoko are in a turtle neck, sleeveless shirt that reached just below their hips, the only difference is, anna's shirt is peach, while nonoko's is white, anna is wearing a white balloon skirt, with orange hems and orange doll shoes, while nonoko is wearing navy blue mid thigh shorts and some black gladiators. Misaki is wearing a loose, lavender shirt with sleeves that reached above her elbows, and reached her mid thigh, black skinny jeans and purple gladiators.
Natsume's wearing a red tee that says: 'staring is rude, ya know?', a white undid polo, black pants, red and black urban shoes, and his favorite Armani shades. Ruka is wearing a white polo with black sleeves, navy blue jeans and black urban fat shoes.
Tsubasa is wearing a black knit cap, green tee that says: 'hey there! I'm hot, how about you?' black jeans and some green urban fat shoes; while koko is wearing an orange, loose, sleeveless top with a hood, black beach shorts, and yellow cali sneakers. Yuu is wearing a white shirt topped with a black vest, black slacks, and gray urban sneakers.
HONK HONK HOONNNKKKK!
"it came from outside, let's chec-" mikan stated,
"-don't bother, I called two SUVs to pick us up." Yuu cut her statement, with a smile. So the groupings for the ride goes like this,
1st SUV:
Mikan
Hotaru
Natsume
Ruka
Misaki
2nd SUV:
Anna
Nonoko
Yuu
Koko
Tsubasa
When everyone was settled in their SUVs, natsume suddenly got out and took mikan with him.
"hey! What's the big deal?" mikan shouted as she was dragged by natsume.
"stop shouting, polka, you're too loud. I was just thinking that the SUV's too crowded, don't you think?" natsume said as he show his signature smirk, which would make girls squeal in delight and swoon over him, but except for hotaru, and mikan, that is.
Natsume then dragged her inside his black Ferrari, closed the door to her side and then went in to the other side, he turned the engine on, and asked her,
"where's your shooting?" natsume asked as he grin mischievously.
