This is one of the chapters I had a hard time writing.. first of all, the last chapter was short, so I have to make sure this one is long enough.. second, I promised to write this within 36 hours.. and that's hard cuz I don't have the plot for this chapter yet..
Anyways, I tried my best to make it interesting enough. It's supposed to be a crazy chapter. Quite a way to reveal Natsume's true feelings.. =.=
Some of the supporting characters here are made up :| actually, I got the names from Vocaloid :)

How the Pawn Became the King's Queen
Chapter 12: The Truth Potion
His lips crashed upon mine. A sweet sensation. I can't believe what I just did.
I pulled away, wanting to know his expression. He stared at me, blushing..
BLUSHING..
!!!
I couldn't help but snicker.
"Hey, Natsume. Are you blushing?" I asked him teasingly.
"Shut up," he said, looking away.
I grinned. "Could it be that you've not used to being kissed? Is that why you'd rather kiss others? Come to think of it, I didn't look at you closely when I accidentally kissed your teeth. Did you blush too then?"
Natsume kept silent for a moment then looked at me seriously. "You're wrong. I don't like kissing others. I like to kiss only you."
I blushed and looked away. Natsume snickered, happy that the tables have turned. Really! He's so arrogant.

Miku held the bottle as if it held a substance costing billions and billions of money. Inside the bottle was a colorless liquid. It looked like water although contained a very interesting effect on the drinker.
"This will show his true feelings," Miku stated, excitement visible in her voice. She was the leader of the Ruka/Natsume Fanclub.
The liquid is called the Truth Potion. It can be made through the use of the Alchemy Alice to combine the powers of the Truth Seer Alice and water. It makes the drinker show his deepest and most hidden emotions.
"We shall use it to know Natsume's true emotions. Who does he love? What does he desire?"
"That will make quite a show," Rin chuckled. She's been deprived of fun for quite some time now. She's been waiting for something fun to watch. She found Natsume mysterious. And quite interestingly, she finds Ruka more mysterious. Through the cold expressions, what does Natsume actually feel? She can't wait to find out.

Natsume, grabbing my hand, ran behind the pillar. I panted. We've been running around for quite awhile now. Goodness! Why am I even getting dragged in this!?
"Your hand," I stated, blushing.
Natsume looked down at the hand he was using to hold mine. He grinned. "What's with my hand?"
"Let go, stupid!" I tried to make him let go of my hand but he simply tightened his grip.
"Not so fast. Don't you want to feel my hand more?"
"Of course n—"
Before I could say the word 'not', he hushed me. "Of course you do."
I frowned. He can be so pushy sometimes. Like a kid! Sooooo spoiled!
Anyway, why are we running, you ask? Well, the fans of Natsume are chasing him around. I don't know why. Maybe they're asking for autographs? Either way, I was pulled into this idiotism since one of the girls saw me and Natsume kissing. I can't believe I kissed him. I blushed. I must be crazy! Anyway, that girl told his whole fanclub about it and now they're chasing him… and me… US!!!!
Actually, Natsume and I planned that we slit into two and not get chased together. Well, Natsume was about to leave when I couldn't help but cry. Well, can you imagine being chased by a group of angry girls? Have you ever seen what angry girls can do in movies, mangas and animes? They bully you! They threaten you… burn your hair… push you off the rooftop… point a gun at you… ask their boyfriends to fuck you… hire hitmen.. The possibilities are endless!
When Natsume saw me cry, he walked back to me and sighed. He grabbed my hand and now, we're running around. It's a hard game though. There's about a hundred in his fanclub against the two of us. I feel like shouting SPARTAAAA!! and ripping them new assholes. Why the hell are they so desperate anyways!? Natsume's not that handsome!! I looked at Natsume. Well, maybe he's a little handsome.. but his attitude is enough to kill the gods (including Kronos)!!!
"But," my mind told me, "That's what made you like him."
I frowned. Curse my mind!
After some hours, almost all of our energies have been drained out. We've also skipped our classes.
Suddenly, a girl emerged from the shadows.
"Who are you?" Natsume asked.
"Here, water. I know you're tired." The girl handed Natsume a bottle of water.
Natsume frowned but took it. He drank half of it and handed the bottle to me.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Water, duh."
"You drank from that already!"
"So?"
"Proper hygiene? Ever known that word?"
"That's a phrase, not a word. Anyway, do you want to faint? You don't have time to complain," Natsume snickered.
"Ugh!" I was about to take the bottle from him when the girl suddenly took it away.
"I will get more for you," she told me and disappeared. How weird. I'm getting the feeling that she won't come back.
In the end, she didn't.

"I don't see any changes with his behavior," Rin stated, frowning.
"It's just like a medicine. Have you ever seen a medicine which cures a sickness instantly after you drink it? So far, I haven't seen one," Miku patiently replied.
Rin sighed. "Fine. I'll wait. Just make sure this works."
Miku looked closer. "I think it already is."
Rin looked at where Miku was staring. "OHHHHHHHHHHH.."
********
Suddenly, Natsume's grip became tighter. Tighter.. tighter.. tighter..
I looked at Natsume. He was staring at me in a way I've never seen before. His eyes were full of passion.. love.. desire.. LUST..
I took a step back and he walked closer to me.
"Mikan…"he muttered my name, an almost moan. It looked like he was in pain. He was trying to stop himself but he can't. He looked desperate. It also pained me. What is this side of him that I am seeing? A lonely Natsume. He looked so pale and tired.
I felt my back press upon the cold wall. My heart beat faster.. faster.. faster.. It felt like it was going to explode. He placed his head near my ear.
"Mikan.." he whispers. "I want you. I desire you. I want to be with you. Why can't you see? Why do you keep pushing me away? What have I done wrong? Can't you like me too?"
He suddenly kisses my neck. I pushed him away. I can't believe it. What… what is happening!?!?!?
"So this is what Natsume really feels?" I heard someone say. I turned around. There were two girls, one with green hair, the other with blonde hair.
"Who are you? What did you do to Natsume!?!?!?"
"We simply released the emotions hidden within his heart. His desires. His true self. How do you like it? That is the real Natsume.."
Ehhhhhhh!?!?
