"It all started with a kiss." -Anonymous

OOOO

Mikan sighed heavily which worried the gentle director. "Do you want to edit out the part?"

Mikan's eyes beamed. "Really? Is that okay?"

"Of course—"

"No." Mikan and Yuuto faced at the owner of the voice. It was Hotaru. She went towards them and stared Mikan in a serious look. She then pointed her pointing finger at Mikan and demanded, "You will do the kissing scene idiot, whether you like it or not."

Mikan glared at her. She crossed her arms, trying not to get intimidated by her blackmailing best friend. "And if I won't?"

Hotaru smirked as she held out a picture that only the three of them could see.

Yuuto gasped.

Mikan's jaw dropped.

Natsume's eyes widened.

"Then say hello to ebay."

OOOO

Chapter 14: This Kiss

"What're they talking about?" Sumire irritatingly asked Koko, totally wondering about Hotaru's conversation with the director and the artists. She was fuming when she saw the romantic scene of the two, totally envious of her so-called future husband's co-star. I should be the one there, not her! She's lucky she's an actress, if not, I'll be hexing her by now.

"Dunno. Can't really hear them." Koko replied, sighing deeply. "Dang! Igarashi's really lucky to have Mika-chan as his partner. Not to mention, a kissing scene!"

"Are you blind? It's that bitch who's lucky and not Natsume-kun! Wait a minute." Sumire faced Koko with a glare and pulled his collar near her and asked, "What the hell do you meant by a kissing scene, you dumbass?!"

Koko shivered as he stared at Sumire's deadly glare. Boy, if only looks could kill. "I-I-I, well, I just heard it from the staffs."

"That Natsume. He's totally lucky to have his first kiss with a hot chick like Mika-chan." Kitsuneme added which only made Sumire's mood worse. She threw back Koko's collar and faced Kitsuneme with a shivering look.

"F-F-First k-k-kiss?!"

"Yeah. Nat never had his on-screen kiss before, since he said he doesn't want to be infected by girls' cooties and yet, he's having his first on-screen kiss on a commercial! Or maybe, this might even be his first kiss."

Sumire paled at what she heard.

"Nat never had his on-screen kiss before…"

"on-screen kiss before…"

"Or maybe, this might even be his first kiss…"

"might even be his first kiss…"

"his first kiss…"

"first kiss…"

Kiss…

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Sumire shouted as she placed both of her hands on her head, trying to erase the words Kitsuneme had said. "I cannot allow this! As the president of the Natsume-Ruka fanclub, this should be stopped." She exclaimed and stomped her way to Mikan's direction but was immediately stopped by Anna and the others.

"Shouda-san, you can't go near them when they're on set unless you're part of the staff." Anna explained, trying to calm Sumire down.

"Hotaru-san will definitely kill you if you go there." Nonoko added.

Sumire gulped. She swore to herself that even death won't stop her love for Natsume, but if it is Hotaru Imai they're talking about, then dying young won't be the best solution. I'll sabotage that girl later, or might as well distract her to stop the kissing scene!

OOOO

"Oh my word! Mi-chan, is that you and Igarashi-san?!" Yuuto Fuji gasped as he stared intently at the picture Hotaru was holding. "I didn't know both of you were this close. No wonder both of you look good together!"

Mikan and Natsume both glared at the smirking Ice Queen of Alice Kyoto. The picture she was holding was the captured photo Mikan and Natsume had at the Hyuuga Mansion, back where Aoi told her brother to place his arm around Mikan while Mikan's hands were holding his strong, built arms. Indeed, her blackmail this time might succeed because of the horror of spreading that picture on the net. Who knows what the great Hotaru Imai can do.

"So are we clear on this or not?" Hotaru confirmed.

"Where the hell did you even got that picture?!" Mikan asked furiously.

"From your phone, where else? You lend your phone to me last night, remember?" Mikan's eyes widened. She knew Natsume was already turning his glare at her, but she couldn't care less. The question is, how did she got it from her phone?

"Yeah, but… how—"

Hotaru cut her off, knowing what she'll ask. "Bluetooth."

"Bluetooth?"

"Yes, idiot. Do I even have to explain how that functions?" The two never spoke a word then, but only threw daggers towards her. Until, Fuji broke the tension.

"Imai-kun, I think it doesn't matter if they kiss or not on this scene since it's already getting dark and I think the viewers won't be able to see it clearly, except for the light shadows."

"And your point is?"

"Why not just omit the kissing scene and just make it look like that they really kissed?" Fuji suggested with a calm smile.

Mikan nodded in agreement, while Hotaru just glowered her eyes at them. "No. Prepare spotlights for the scene, so that the kiss would be seen."

"But Imai-kun, that won't look realistic."

True, it was getting late and doing the kissing scene won't be appreciated by the viewers. It has to look realistic as much as possible. Which means, she has to agree to the director's suggestion. But, if they really kissed, then money will come on its way. Which also means, she has to look for ways. Ways on how the two idiots could kiss.

"Fine." Mikan sighed in relief at Hotaru's response. "But on one condition."

Mikan stared at her evil best friend as a smirk formed its way to her lips. She frowned. When Hotaru Imai smirks, it means trouble. And she wasn't wrong.

"The idiot will be kissing red eyes..." Mikan froze as she stared at Hotaru pointing her finger at the corner of her lips. "…here."

She'll what?!

"Oh, that's a great idea! With that, it will give more impact on the story and the ratings. And it would be a cute ending to finish the scene." Fuji clasped his hands and excitedly went to Mikan. "Mi-chan, is that fine with you? It's not that hard, so please, would you accept Imai-kun's condition?"

Mikan's jaw dropped. She just couldn't believe it. She never saw what kissing scenes look like, and she does not want to lead nor have any kissing scenes either. But seeing the director's tired and stressed face smiling at her, Mikan couldn't just reject it.

"O-okay, Fuji-san. I'll do it I guess." Mikan answered with a nervous yet assuring smile.

OOOO

It's been 10 minutes and Sumire Shouda was getting impatient of the probable outcome of the said kissing scene of Natsume Igarashi and co-star. She really wanted to hear about the conversation of Hotaru and the others on the set, but she was not authorized to even set a foot on the borderline.

Sumire's short POV

I saw Imai smirking as she made her way to her post, followed by Fuji-san. That might have ended their conversation. Natsume, my love, and the bitch was left there and she looked… worried? Tch. Maybe thinking that she doesn't know how to liplock properly my dearest Natsume-kun. I stared at my dear Natsume and he remained his handsome signature look, stoic yet calm. They were still sitting on the tree and the song "Natsume and bitch sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." keeps ringing on my mind. I frowned as I felt my blood boils. This is so nerve-wrecking!

"Okay, last scene take 2." I heard the director called. I scowled, not wanting to hear the last words. "…and ACTION!"

I glared at the wench as they acted out on the first few minutes. I saw them stopped and the next thing I knew, the whore was nearing her lips to my husband. I clenched my fist. No way I'll make their kissing scenes happen!

End of POV

"Stress ball, Permy?" Koko asked as he offered her a baseball-designed stress ball. Sumire glared at it but nevertheless took it, and clenched it as hard as she could. It's been 20 freaking minutes since the scene started, and she was not happy at all. Although she was relieved that the expected liplock hasn't happened yet, she was mentally freaking out because of the director's unsatisfaction of cutting the scene whenever their faces get near each other just because of the mere reason that 'the feeling is not there'.

"GOOOOOSH. This is so freaking me out!" Sumire exclaimed as she clasped the stress ball on both of her hands. It's already driving her crazy. Fuji-san even went to them, giving them advices on how to do their part well. And since, it's already getting late, insufficient camera lights were brought which really made everyone panic just to finish the last scene.

"Okay. Everyone, we have to finish this before its getting dark. Mi-chan, please let this be the last cut." Mikan bit her lip. She felt sorry for Fuji-san, since he's been so patient for her amateur acting skills. But this is her first time kissing someone who's not related to her. Gosh, she doesn't even kiss her idiotic brother and now, just because of a stupid blackmail from her best friend, she'll be kissing her childhood best friend! Mikan stared at Fuji-san's back as he made his way to the director's chair. It's been tiring. Especially, for him. But, they really needed this scene badly. "Alright, Take 23… Action!"

Sumire bit her lip. The atmosphere was different than before. Somehow, the girl beside her future boyfriend was doing pretty well and she was sure that the kissing scene will be done properly in any second. Sumire's eyes widened as she saw the girl gave her brightest smile and neared her face to Natsume's. She knew she'll be seeing a real kissing scene after. Sumire Shouda was never a patient girl and right now, she was panicking as she shakingly squishes the stressball Koko gave her every now and then. No way will she let an unknown girl take her future husband's first kiss. This scene really has to stop!

And before the expected liplock on Sumire's head can happen, she did what exactly a fan would do.

Mikan's POV

I acted out my best as I could. I didn't want to burden everyone on the set, so I made sure that this time I would do… the kiss. We stopped talking and neared myself to him, deciding to finish the part quickly. I slowly stole a peek at him and caught him staring at me with his tantalizing crimson orbs. My lips thinned as I nervously moved near him.

"You don't have to kiss me polka. Just make it look like one." I heard him whisper, that only I can hear. I faced him and I tried to calm down. I gave him my brightest smile as a thank you and he looked away. That's when I started nearing my face to his. I planned on covering the kiss by placing both of my hands on his cheeks, so that it would look like a real kiss. I stared at his perfect lips, his naturally pinkish lips and eyed my target. The corner part.

I felt my cheeks reddened as I cupped my shaking hands to his cheeks and my face went near his. Our lips were inches away and that's when I did what lovers would do when a scene like this happens: Close your eyes.

I tilted my head and I saw Natsume slowly closed his eyes so I did too, still eyeing the tip of his lips until—

BOING!

Ouch. My eyes were already closed when something hit my head hard which made my face to quickly move forward and fill the gap between my lips and the tip of Natsume's li—wait. Something's wrong. I heard a gasp, a scream, a squeal and the kiss doesn't seem to be the tip of Natsume's lips. It's so soft. I slowly opened my eyes and I saw my lips sealed on Natsume's lips! WE'RE KISSING. My eyes widened that I almost jerked off when I felt his hands holding on mine. I was still holding his cheeks and I was blushing madly when the kiss starts to deepen. What's he doing? And why's no one calling a 'cut'?!

And that hit me. They're continuing filming the scene! Does it mean we have to continue kissing? But we're not supposed to be really kissing. And if we don't stop now, it would look like we're making out! I closed my eyes once again, and I felt him nibble my lips. Damn. It oddly feels goo…d. This is so weird. I wanted to stop, yet don't want to end this at the same time.

It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centripetal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, impossible
This kiss, this kiss, unstoppable
This kiss, this kiss

I felt hot all over. Shit, now I'm thinking of a perfect background song.

I bent my head down to finally pull away and gasp for air. I bit my lip. Crap, this will be so freaking awkward later on. I let go of his cheeks and placed my hands down. I looked away, still blushing madly at what happened. But my eyes widened when I felt a hand wrapped around my waist. I stared at him in shock and that's when I remembered that the girl should lean on the guy's shoulder as they both watch the view, which will end the scene. I tried to smile but I don't know if that turned out well. Nevertheless, I leaned my head on his shoulders and watched the view together while we waited for the single word to end our act.

End of POV

"C-cut." Was all Fuji Yuuto could say. Everyone just stopped and stared at the two artists as the scene ended, questions started to pop out on their heads. Did they really kiss? Did that really happened?

The kissing scene was unexpectedly a success and Hotaru Imai couldn't just take off the huge grin plastered on her face. Mountains of cash will definitely be on its way. She stared at the stress ball in front of her. She smirked as she bent down to grab it. Maybe it was a good thing that Shouda came after all.

On the other hand…

Mochu, Kitsuneme and Koko's jaw were still opened.

Anna and Nonoko were hugging each other.

Yuu fainted.

Ruka and Kaoru's face reddened.

And Sumire's eyes still widened. Her jaw slowly dropped. THE BITCH KISSED NATSUME IGARASHI ON THE LIPS. And it was her fault!

Flashback (Sumire's POV)

I was merely choking the stress ball the dimwit gave me a while ago as I watched the scene between my love and the bitch. The whore was smiling like a flirt to my darling and keeps on blabbering nonstop. Until, I saw her stopped. She froze on her spot for a second, and that's when she started nearing her face to my Natsume.

I lowered my head and started to think of that girl as I gripped the ball while glaring at her. This scene cannot happen unless I'm around. I kept on thinking how to stop the kiss scene, since Hotaru Imai is on the way. I have to make a plan fast and mustn't get caught.

I slowly raised my head and I saw a glimpse of the amateur bitch holding my boyfriend's cheeks. I was supposed to be in her place, not the other way around! My view was just covered by the bitch's-whoever-her-name-was' back but I could still see what's happening because of the camera in front of me. And I knew in any moment, she'll be happily kissing my Natsume.

"Hey Koko, look! They're almost kissing." I heard Kitsuneme-kun pulling Yome on the other side to have a better view of the scene. My last vein popped. That does it! I don't care if Imai kills me, but right now I will do what a president of Natsume's fanclub should do.

I positioned myself and tightened my grip of the ball. I swinged my arm like what one would see in a baseball player and raised my left leg, eager to throw the ball. And before Ogosawara and Anna can stop me, I threw the ball with all my might towards the bitch's head.

BOING!

Bull's eye.

I grimly smirked and watched the camera, expecting a disaster scenario. But it was not what I expected it to be… !

THEY FREAKING KISSED!

I stared at my shaking hands. No, this can't be happening. My Natsume's first kiss… our love story… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

End of Flashback and POV

OOOO

"Great job everyone! You've all worked hard." Fuji-san smiled as he wiped the sweat off his head. Finally, it is finished. The hard work has paid off, especially the last scene. Fuji Yuuto smiled inside inwardly. He never thought that the two would actually kiss. Well, it was accidental though. He would've called a cut after seeing the ball flying towards Mikan's head. But seeing the unexpected response of the sudden incident made him hesitant to stop filming. Besides, that was the original idea, and editing would just work its magic anyway. He was happy that Mikan and Natsume were able to pull it off somehow. He was somehow worried about Mikan's reaction about the unexpected kiss. But boy was he glad that Natsume Igarashi was a great actor. If it hadn't for him, he would be forced to stop and edit the scene again. To think that the great Natsume Igarashi responded to the kiss will earn some huge ratings. Even though the scene was a bit dark, he'll make sure that the kiss will be visible in the commercial. I don't care if I have to pay for a famous professional editor for this scene, as long as the kiss will be shown clearly on the commercial.

"Mi-chan, thank you for your hard work." Fuji-san smiled as he tapped Mikan's back. He smiled as he still notices her flustered face. He knew that Mikan was not the showbiz type of girl. And after discovering her close relationship with Natsume Igarashi just makes him want to see more of their cute interactions. It was his first time seeing the actor actually enjoying his job. He has been working with Natsume for years, but it was the first time seeing him enjoying each scene despite his poker face. The feelings were there. Not to mention, the kiss a while ago was passionate. If Mikan didn't pull back, everyone would think they're making out or too attached to their roles. True, Natsume Igarashi had declined all of the kissing scenes in every film he took. And it was unlikely of him to agree to do it in a commercial. No doubt Hotaru Imai picked her for the commercial. Mikan Sakura was perfect for the role to begin with, and he knew that she has the potential to act. She will be a star if she steps into the entertainment world. Not to mention, their tandem will be a global hit.

"T-thank you Fuji-san." Mikan stuttered, trying to look away at his stare. After the kiss incident, she couldn't muster the strength of facing nor getting near Natsume. She even couldn't face the director because of the embarrassment of what happened. What happened was too awkward for her. She knew Natsume noticed her avoidance to him and will probably confront her later on, but the images of her and Natsume kissing makes her face goes red.

"You've done a great job, Mi-chan. Your acting skills were superb. Although you still needed some practice, you had the potentials of becoming a great actress." Mikan faced Fuji-san and stared at him. He was complimenting her. "I am so glad to work with you. I hope someday, I'll be working with you and Igarashi-san again."

Mikan bowed in respect and smiled. "Thank you Fuji-san. Although these things were unexpected to happen, I'm so happy to work with someone like you. I've learned a lot."

"You're a hardworking person, Mi-chan. I can see that. That's why I'll be giving you your salary." Fuji-san said as he took out a brown envelop on his pocket and handed it to Mikan.

Mikan's eyes widened. She wanted to take the money, at the same time forcing herself not to because she willingly wanted to help her best friends. She placed her hands on her back and replied, "I… No, I can't take it."

Fuji-san smiled at her and grabbed her left hand and placed the envelop on top of her palm. "Think of it as a thank you gift, Mi-chan. From a friend."

With that, he quickly ran off and went to his assistant. Mikan stared at the envelop and peeked the amount of money inside. Her eyes bulged. There were too many papers! She wanted to bring the money back to Fuji-san since the amount was too much for her. But he was nowhere to be found. Mikan sighed then smiled inwardly. Her allowance had just been added. And she could now pay her debt to Natsume.

OOOO

"You look really great a while ago Mikan-chan! Not to mention, the last scene was soooo romantic." Nonoko mentioned dreamily after braiding her hair back to a french braid. They were at the tent where Mikan changed her clothes a while ago. Her hair was back to its original color and wore the same outfit she had before the unexpected turn of events. "So how was the kiss, Mikan-chan?"

Mikan blushed as flashbacks of her and Natsume were kissing started to pop out. She blinked and shook her head sideways to erase the thought. "I… w-we shouldn't be talking about that."

"Come on, Mikan-chan. Tell us!" Anna insisted which earned a nod from Nonoko but was interrupted when Hotaru popped out at the entrance of the tent.

"She'll be telling her juicy details later on. You guys done? The others are waiting outside the park. And Mikan, remember, you had a date with your childhood friend and just arrived. I already reasoned out that you guys are still fixing Mika, and at the same time waiting for Mikan to arrive. If the dimwits try to ask you about the details, just make it up. Got it?" Hotaru left the tent without hearing Mikan's response. Mikan sighed. Today was so tiresome.

Ring-ring!

The sound came from Mikan's bag.

It was her phone.

It was a text message.

From Natsume.

Mikan blushed as she gulped. Yesterday night, Nonoko had helped her from learning the things she needed to learn about her phone. That includes texting, calling, taking pictures, and other basic stuffs. She looked like an old woman learning a high-tech gadget. She stared at her phone for a while and pushed the button to open the message. It says:

"Hurry up idiot."

Mikan glowered her eyes. Somehow, she was not satisfied about his text message. Was the kiss earlier meant nothing to him? Well, even though it was an act, she still has that uneasiness all over her. But him? There was nothing. It was as if her first kiss doesn't mean anything after all. Mikan shook her head to erase the thought. It was an act! She shouldn't feel uneasy about it. They were friends. Nothing more, nothing less. Why feel bothered about the scene earlier? It was finished. Mikan made a deep sigh. I worked so hard for that first kiss, and a heart doesn't forget something like that. Mikan shook her head again. Don't let it get to you Mikan. It was just an act, for pete's sake!

"Let's go Mikan!" Nonoko and Anna chorused, interrupting Mikan's thoughts. Mikan faced them and smiled. She took her bag and headed towards Nonoko and Anna. Though feeling a bit better, the nervousness of seeing her childhood friend never left her.

OOOO

"It was such a shame you missed the shoot, Persona-san." Fuji-san said, giving him a slight smile. Persona has been one of the people he respected the most in the entertainment world. He had seen his talents since young, and it was such a shame that he wasn't able to develop it. Instead, he became Natsume Igarashi's manager. Although he knew it was tough for him to accept what happened in the past, Persona could've just stood up and tried again. He knew he would've been a sensational artist if only he didn't lose his courage. He had the chances but he threw those opportunities away.

"I had other appointments." He replied unease. "I hope the kid wasn't a burden to you, Fuji-san."

Fuji laughed. "You know, you would be doing what he's doing if only you didn't let those feelings of the past get into you. I know your potentials, Persona-san."

"I enjoy what I do. That's all in the past now, we should stop talking about it."

"True. But what you're doing right now, do you think you'll be able to defeat him by using Igarashi-san?"

"The kid has great talents. And I know his capabilities; he'll rise over him to the top." Persona turned his back to Fuji and continued, "That's why I'm his manager."

Fuji shook his head, disagreeing at his plans. "I've been working with Igarashi-san for many years, Persona. And this was the only time I saw him enjoy his work. Particularly romance." He smiled as he remembered Mikan and Natsume's scenes together. "Igarashi-san is indeed a top star. But you cannot deny he still lacks the emotions of expressing himself through romantic scenes."

Persona turned to face him again. "That's because it doesn't go with his image."

Fuji shook his head again, disagreeing. "True. But you should've seen today's shoot. Igarashi-san was sparkling. It was a good thing that a friend managed to help me find the perfect co-star for him just before the set became a disaster." He smiled at Persona. "You should watch the commercial in two to three weeks time and tell me how you think about it."

"I will."

"Very well then, I shall take my leave. Good night, Persona-san." Fuji bowed in respect and turned, letting his back faced Persona but stopped after he took a step. "Looks are assets to showbiz, Persona-san. But sooner or later, Natsume Igarashi will go down if his commitment and passion to his career is not present. You've been to this type of work Persona, you should know how things are dealt in the entertainment world. Stop chasing his own shadows; you know his capabilities too."

With that, Fuji left him staring at his retreating figure. He frowned. Though he knew that the director slash photographer was a bit girly at times, he still can't deny his judgments or critics about artists. He was by far one of the respectable persons he knew in the entertainment world. He shrugged at their conversation a while ago. It's rare to hear him talk seriously.

Persona was about leave when a sweet voice called him from behind.

"Eh? R-Rei-niisan?" The voice was so familiar to Persona that he turned towards the direction of the owner's voice. He raised his brow at the pretty girl in front him. She was with Anna Umenomiya and other two companions. He observed her intently, trying to think who the girl was. He never met her before. No one has ever called him 'Rei-niisan' unless she's…

"Mikan?!"

OOOO

Natsume Hyuuga was walking back to where Mikan's tent is. He had to reason out that he forgot something at the set. Ruka and the seaweed-haired girl even tried to accompany him, but he irritatingly declined their offer and told them to went ahead of him. He knew Mikan has been avoiding him after that kissing scene. It was an act, why bother about it? Of course, he was satisfied about the sudden turn of events. It was much better to have his first kiss to his childhood best friend rather than some slutty actresses he had worked with. He knew he had been admiring his childhood best friend ever since. And knowing that there'll be a kissing scene in the commercial, he accepted it but with the approval of Mikan of course. He was glad that she approved, but got pissed off that she didn't want to do it after really finding out there's kissing involved. He knew he shouldn't kiss her that time, but she was irresistible for him. Her scent was addicting that instead of a peck on the lips, he had to kiss her passionately. He's disappointed that Mikan doesn't seem to see him that way, but only as a special friend. But damn, she's leaving tomorrow and yet she even had the guts to avoid him! Natsume glared at the cemented floor. He's been calling Mikan nonstop and until now, she hasn't replied a single message to him.

"Doesn't she still know how to use the stupid phone?" He asked to himself. He took his phone from his pocket and dialed her number again. "I gave her a mobile phone so I'll know her whereabouts, and yet she's so stupid to not even check it every now and then. That idiotic polka-dotted panties girl."

"Mikan?!" He stopped on his tracks as he heard the name from afar. He faced towards the direction of the voice and there he found Persona face to face to Mikan, Hotaru, Anna, and Nonoko.

Shit. What's he doing here?!

OOOO
