Passion for Fashion

Summary: 18 year old model/actress Mikan Sakura was asked by her manager and best

Friend Hotaru Imai to go to a private school in Tokyo…

Blacktangerine012: Updated it!! He-he. I've got nothing to say...please be aware of the dreadful/foul words I'm using... Gomen!! And if you didn't notice, Yuka became a classmate of Narumi, which is supposed to be his Senpai!! Ha-ha! I've changed their ages too! Aoi would be younger than Natsume!! And 'ate' Mayumi really isn't 17 years old... I forgot.

Disclaimer: I own nothing in here... how sad...

Claimer: I own the plot! He-he

"She's got a powerful Alice Narumi?" Misaki asked

"Yes. She's got the Copy, restore, erase, steal and Nullifying Alice..." Narumi answered disappointingly

"How did she get those Powerful Alices?!" Serina asked

"Her mother was our classmate... Remember Azumi Yuka?" Narumi asked

"You mean--? Kami! I knew it from the start! Those eyes and auburn locks! She's definitely an Azumi type!" Serina said as she remembered Yuka and Mikan's face (hair included, even though it's not a part of the face)

"I've heard that Yuka had been working with the AAO..." Misaki said

"Correction! She'd been letting the AAO work for her! She's the leader!" Narumi said

"What?! You mean Persona is trying to let Mikan fight her own mother?" Serina asked wide-eyed

"Yes. It seems like that..." Narumi answered

Chapter 14: Sleepover sounds stupid, demo it's not that stupid.

Natsume's POV (this Chapter starts in Natsume's POV, and also ends with Natsume's POV)

I'm trying to take a short nap but I can't! My body and mind won't cooperate, I've been thinking about the sleepover Ruka told me earlier this afternoon and Polka, a while ago... maybe I should just go... I'm gonna see if it sucks more than I think it will...

"That's it!" I gasped I stood up, I sighed heavily and looked out of the window, the sun is already setting... from what I know, sleepovers starts between 6 to 8 and ends when the people are already asleep, meaning they're gonna sleep in only one room. It doesn't make sense to me... why go to other's room to sleep if you have your own room? I went out of my room still dressed in my school uniform; I went to my favourite spot... the Sakura tree... I climbed the tree and sat on one of its branches, I can even hear the voices chattering, laughing and the bird's chirping...

Flashback- (still in Natsume's POV meaning the only things he heard)

"Natsume-kun... please... I miss my mom... and I want to see her again... so please..." Polka said as she looked at me pleadingly. I just sighed and let her go

"Good choice Sakura... You'll work under me... you'll be with Natsume in trainings and Missions" The bastard Persona said

"Missions?! Persona! You can't let her go on Missions!" I practically shouted at him

"Because she'll get hurt? You're being too soft Kuro-neko..." Persona said sounding disappointed what a fake act!

"hn." I can't think of anything better to say

"Natsume-kun... please let me do this... I'm doing this because I want to see my mom..." Polka said

"She's already decided Kuro... so... you can't do anything" Persona said

"Whatever" I said and walked away

-End of flashback

Why would she take such risk just to see her mother?... well... even I did take those risks just to see my sister... but her? That idiotic girl? If this was a movie... I'd better quit, so that I could see my sister... but this is reality Natsume!! Then I heard a familiar voice coming below the tree I'm currently sitting on...

"You know... rumours are fast... just imagine! A girl just saw Sakura, then she starts telling her friends about it then next day the whole academy knows it!" a high-pitched annoying voice blurted out (as Natsume would define it) Kami! I swear if I come out from my 'hiding place' she will surely chase me and her idiotic friends, I'd better stay here...

"Shouda-Sama... I've heard that you were invited to the sleepover of Nonoko-san... what are you going to do?" another annoying girl asked

"Of course I'm coming! I'll use my opportunity to spy on Sakura-Whore! And I'll surely see Ruka-kun!... maybe not Natsume-kun... but at least I'll see my second love!" the pathetic Shouda squealed, which made my ears not literally bleed. But somewhat ached... wait... WHAT?! Second love? I think I'd better not show up in that sleepover if this pathetic girl will come!

When I saw them leave, I sighed... how pathetic can they be? So I went down the Sakura tree. hang on... That's Ruka... what's he talking with Imai?! I hope Imai won't mind if I listen to their conversation...

"Look Nogi. If you think you'll get to touch Mikan... Think again... I need her for my financial affairs" Imai warned Ruka, but What The Fucking Hell are they talking about?! But I sweat dropped about her needing Polka for her financial affairs

"I-Imai-san... It's not what you think it is... Etto...Etto.." Ruka said as he begun to stutter... what is he stuttering about?! I don't even know what the hell they are talking about! (I know Natsume's so 'OOC' but it's he's thoughts!!)

"then tell me what I'm thinking" Imai challenged with her stoic expression

"Ugh... you're thinking that I like Sakura-san.. And... ugh... ummm..." Ruka stuttered, so that's what they've been talking about!

"Right. Then what do you mean Nogi?" Imai asked... this conversation is interesting... (As he smirked)

"Etto... etto... ano... ano... nande mon ai..." Ruka Stuttered...being his best friend... I feel so stupid that I didn't know he could stutter like that!

"Spit it out already Nogi!" Imai said a bit pissed off I might add... tch. How stupid... I'd better get going before I'll get caught

So I went back to my room... reading my Shounen manga

END OF POV

"Ryu-nii? If you plan on going to the sleep over... please be aware that they still don't know my celebrity part..." Mikan said

"Wakata... but Mikan-Chan... If I see you flirting with some guy... I will personally bring him to hell itself" Ryu warned

"Why would I flirt with some guy if I don't even like anybody from the people we invited to the sleep over!" Mikan answered

"How about the raven-haired boy? He's kind of handsome I presume that you like him" Ryu said

"You mean Natsume? Get a life Niisan! He's the last person I'll like in this world! He's even nastier than Kyu-Niisan!" Mikan blurted out

"Right. But he's popular... I've heard that from some high school students and colleges... you know... I actually don't wanna see you with him... or any popular guys..." Ryu said

"Why?" Mikan asked really curious (how about you? Wouldn't you be so curious if you're popular while your relatives wants you to end up with somebody who's not even popular?!)

"well... If you want somebody who's popular like you... make sure he will never break your heart... me and Hotaru and all your friends will surely bring Hell to him" Ryu said

"Ha-Ha Niisan you scared me... I won't like somebody because of popularity... I'll like someone if he knows how to take care of a woman's heart..." Mikan said

"Good logic" Ryu commented

"He-he... so... Ryu-nii... have you met Misaki-senpai? Or Tsubasa-Senpai yet?" Mikan asked

"You mean those people from the SA class? You're from there too right? Yep. I did. They're pretty much fun to be with" Ryu answered

"umm... Have you met my friends?" Mikan asked

"Not all of them... that's why I plan on going to the sleepover..." Ryu answered (never thought that you could invite celebrities in a 'normal' Sleepovers!!)

"Hey, MikanRyu-Niisan... Narumi sensei asks for our presence in the faculty room" Kyu said as he placed a very deep emphasis on Mikan's name

"Oh! You finally decided to call me with my christened name?! That's good news!" Mikan said sarcastically

"Then I'll call you baka, or Aho then" Kyu retorted as he stuck his tongue out

"Oh you wouldn't dare!" Mikan said as she activated a copied Alice which is the Alice of Fire, and Kyu being aware of that activated his tool Manipulation Alice.

'Kuso! The things I'll be using could be burned! Argh!' Kyu thought angrily as he slapped himself mentally 15 times

But he still tried, manipulating a vase, porcelain I might add Plus! It cannot be burned so it flew directly to Mikan, targeting her face/head. Luckily for her, Ryu took immediate actions, teleporting the three of them to the faculty room where Narumi is expecting them.

"ah--oh... so what's with the fire ball Mikan-Chan?" Narumi suddenly asked as he noticed Mikan's fireball at hand with her surprised look while Kyu's menacing grin

"Ano Sensei... me and my brother were just practicing our fighting skills while using our Alices..." Mikan immediately lied but Narumi noticed this but he just bit the hook.

"What about your fighting skills?" Narumi asked

"Ano... I'm going to star in an action Movie... with super powers... so we're practicing it" Kyu grinned, Ryu snickered

"Anyway... you might be curious on why did I call you three here... ano Ryu-kun, would you mind to call Imai-san here? She's also concerned with the plans so if you wouldn't mind..." Narumi said telling Ryu to call Hotaru

"no problem Sensei!" Ryu answered as he teleported to Hotaru's current location. Her laboratory.

"ano... Hotaru-san?" Ryu started, he was aware that Hotaru might use her inventions if he just barged in and ask her to come with him, just what Mikan always do. (no nasty thoughts! Ryu doesn't like Hotaru!! He's as the same age as Subaru!!)

"nani?" Hotaru in a pissed yet cold tone asked

"Narumi sensei asks for your presence" Rei answered courteously as he asked for her hand (not court, or marrying! Please people! Just bite the hook!!)

"Ok." Hotaru simply stated and took Ryu's hand, and they teleported back to the Faculty room

"Back!" Ryu said

"ok so we're already complete! Why don't we go to somewhere no one can see, hear, and smell us... any suggestions?" Narumi asked

"My laboratory" Hotaru answered

"Yeah, her Laboratory." Mikan agreed and then they hold on each other's hand and... Teleport!

-Hotaru's lab.

"so... I'm here to talk about another of you famous people... It's about a French-Japanese Actor from France, and The famous director, Mr. Mamoto Kentaru" Narumi said

"When?" Hotaru immediately asked knowing that she could busy herself with something better; blackmailing another celebrity friend

"I still don't know... I think it'll be on... ahh! I forgot!!" Narumi tried and sighed in despair, how could he forget such important detail?! Everyone sweet dropped excluding the notorious Ice queen

"ugh, Narumi-sensei? What about the 'plans' you were talking about awhile ago?" Mikan suddenly asked (when he said that Hotaru is also concerned with the 'plans')

"Ah! Right! Well... Knowing that you could sing, would you sing for the poem contest?" Narumi asked

"I thought it was only for the poems? Why do I still need to sing?" Mikan asked

"so that the audience won't get bored, some of the students could easily get bored" Narumi reasoned

"Oh, OK!" Mikan agreed

"But Maybe it would be filmed... you know... coz' the 2 guests might come before the contest" Narumi said

"Ugh, Naru-sensei? Can we leave now? I think it only concerns Mikan and Hotaru-san" Ryu interrupted

"No, but if you insist, I'll tell you what you're going to do... You'd be playing with a band, and I hope you'll do your best" Narumi said

"Is that all?" Kyu asked sounding bored

"Hai!" Narumi answered

"Ok, Ja!" and Ryu placed his hands on Kyu's Shoulder and teleported

"How much would be our proceeds?" Hotaru asked Mikan and Narumi sweet dropped as Hotaru's eyes glistened with dollar signs

"umm... it would be 500,000 yens each" Narumi answered

"good enough, but is that all?" Hotaru asked, seeming to be hungry for money

"Ano, It would be 50 points for returning the Alice Festival" Narumi answered

"You mean we could still have the Festival?! Sugoi!!" Mikan smiled and her eyes sparkled

"Hai! Hai! Mikan-Chan!!" Narumi confirmed

"Baka, we still need to prepare for your stupid sleepover" Hotaru said

"AHHHHHH!! I almost forgot!! Ja ne Narumi-sensei!!" Mikan said and ran out while Hotaru scooted with her duck scooter

--

back in Natsume's room

"hey Ruka, I saw you talking with Imai, what are have you been talking about? Especially with her?" Natsume asked

"Ahh, nothing... she was just telling me that ugh... umm... I told her that I don't like Sakura-san" Ruka answered

"But you are... don't lie to me Ruka, I've known you since childhood" Natsume stated impassively

"Sorry Natsume... Anyway, are you coming to the sleep over?" Ruka asked changing the topic

"Your changing subjects, but I don't think I will, it sounds stupid" Natsume answered

"But Natsume! At the very least just enjoy this night? Just for once Natsume?" Ruka insisted

"Fine. What do I need to bring?" Natsume asked but he really don't like doing or going there

"Ugh, Night clothes? PJs?" Ruka answered as if unsure of his answer

"Are you sure?" Natsume asked, doubting Ruka

"Ye-yeah..." Ruka answered

"Fine. Help me then" Natsume suddenly said and stood up from his position, walking to his walk-in wardrobe (COOL!!)

'Sigh... at least he would come...' Ruka thought and followed Natsume in.

(10 minutes had passed)

"So?" Natsume started as he leaned on the wall

"you just need to Open up and be yourself" Ruka stated

"be myself is fine but I would never open up" Natsume said seriously

"Ok, but Games that asks anything personal must be answered" Ruka warned

"Whatever" Natsume answered

"Can we now leave?" Ruka asked and Natsume just shrugged, so the two (not to mention Hot!) Boys walked out of the room and the building going at the Sakura Tree. It was said that they'll meet up at the Sakura tree, where Natsume always stays. And everyone was there! (the 16 of them?!)

"Ano Minna... we can go to Nonoko-Chan's lab now..." Mikan said, seeing how much people going to the sleepover, she sweet dropped

So they walked going to Nonoko's lab, it was big! But compared to Hotaru's lab, 'twas nothing compared to it (in the Anime series, the working room of Hotaru was small, but the lab was big. So let's say in this fic, it was 10 times as big as in the Anime series), the Lab was neatly in order. The chemicals were set in place, it was on their shelves, and everything was organized properly!

The boys started to huddle in one side of the room talking about everything!

And the girls did the same but after 20 minutes, somebody found it really boring, talking about their daily lives for 20 minutes so...

"Minna! Why don't we play Truth or dare!" Mikan said

"Yeah! Talking is boring! Let's play it!" Anna said

"doing almost everything is boring. I just want some peace" guess who

"don't be stubborn Natsume-kun! We'll just play Truth or dare! As if that'll kill you!!" Mikan said and pouted cutely which made Sumire glare at her and burn in jealousy, Ryu's eyes narrowed at Mikan dangerously, and everyone just had their face. (duhh!!)

"Whatever Polka... or is it leaf prints?" Natsume asked, as he started to tease Mikan

"Shut up pervert!" Mikan stuck her tongue out

"Mikan-Chan? Can we now proceed to the game?" Misaki suggested

"Sure Misaki-senpai!" Mikan agreed and stood up

"Matte! I wanted you all to meet my friend!!" Miyuki interrupted and stood up as well

"Who?" Everyone asked

"Hijiri Youichi-kun" Miyuki answered and giggled, and pulled the grey-haired teal-eyed boy up who actually refuses to stand up.

"You don't have to pull me up you ugly girl; I know how to stand on my own" Youichi glared at Miyuki and everyone just sweat dropped except for our favourite flame-caster, who was actually on a deep thought.

-Natsume's POV

Why would Youichi be here? Is he a friend of that Saito?

Darn it!

"Nii-san!!" Youichi called me and walked to me

"Nii-san?!" Polka, I mean leaf-prints asked in disbelief, I just smirked, everyone seemed to be silent

"Come here Youichi-kun! Come here to Nee-Chan!" Permy/ugly hag/pathetic and annoying girl suddenly called out to Youichi

"get lost you hag" Youichi said as he activated his demon summoning Alice, Making Everyone screamed in fright, but not me, Ruka, Imai, and the 2 celebrities

Leaf-print seemed to be the first to calm down and sat back, she sighed heavily and wiped her sweat

"Hijiri-San... would you mind to let the summoned demons return to wear the heck they came from?" Leaf-print suggested calmly, and then Youichi smiled at her, WHA?! Smile at her?! No way! No one ever made him smile except me or Ruka! What the hell is wrong with Youichi? But I just remained as cold as ever.

"Nee-Chan!" Youichi suddenly said and walked to Leaf-print, I just looked at him walk his way to the idiot. (can't believe Natsume got so many names to call Mikan!)

-END OF POV-

"Nee-Chan!" Youichi suddenly said and walked to Mikan

"Ugh, You-Chan?" Mikan answered, Youichi hugged her which made Sumire mad, and just kept silent, Kyu noticing this walked to Sumire and sat beside her

"hey, you're Sumire Shouda right? I'm Kyu Sakura" Kyu said and looked at Sumire, Sumire in the other hand, her eyes turned to heart shapes, Hotaru taking picture, Ryu laughing, Anna, Nonoko, Yuu, Koko. Shocked, Misaki, and Tsubasa giggling, Ruka, Youichi, and Natsume, expressionless, Miyuki and Mayumi jaws dropped. And Mikan was wide-eyed

(gosh, having 16 characters in one setting is hard! I might not mention their names, Let's say they'll serve as back ground kay? Kay. Let's focus on 2 to 4 people at a time)

Youichi hugged Mikan and whispered something to her, and because she knew that somewhat something like this would happen, she activated her nullifying Alice

"I know that you are the model and Actress Mikan Sakura" Youichi whispered

"How did you know?" Mikan whispered back

"Don't ask. I just know." Youichi answered

"Promise me you'll never tell anyone okay? Okay. Now problem solved." Mikan said not giving Youichi a chance to answer

"Can we go back now on playing Truth or dares? And no more delays!!"Misaki practically screamed

"OKAY!" some of them answered, Hotaru brought out an Invention.

"Invention 1802, Automatic chooser. It's mainly used for choosing somebody, instead of spinning things, you just have to press the green button and a name will appear on the screen and It's the one you've chosen. No cheats. It only costs 15,000 rabbits" Hotaru said, she's apparently talking with the readers, characters, and the authoress herself. And everyone sweat dropped (and you sweat dropped too... hey come on! Just do it!!)

Mikan volunteered Nonoko to be the first one for she's the one who hosted the sleep over.

"Mayumi-Chan, Truth or dare?" Nonoko asked excitedly

"umm... Dare!" Mayumi said

"Ok, there's a chemical over my working desk, and take a sip in it" Nonoko dared

"I'll choose truth" Mayumi suddenly changed her mind, not taking the dare

"Nah-uh! If you can't do the dare you have to walk around like a duck 3 times!" Nonoko said

"fine I'll do your stupid dare!" Mayumi pouted and walked to Nonoko's working desk, seeing the pink liquid potion she hesitantly took a sip on it (it was actually on a see-through glass) and she tasted it and...

"Taste like strawberry... what was it Nonoko-Chan?" Mayumi asked

"that's the potion I'm supposed to mix in the ice cream I'm making" Nonoko answered

"oh... OK! I'm next!" Mayumi said and pressed the green button (as what the inventor Imai would say) and the screen showed the name 'Nogi Ruka'

"Ok Ruka-kun! Truth or dare?" Mayumi asked

"Truth." Ruka answered seriously

"Who among the girls in here would you prefer to hug?" Mayumi asked

"Sakura-san, she seemed to be the only one to be ugh, Nice and normal?" Ruka answered feeling unsure of what he said

"Ok, you're turn" Mayumi said and handed him the Invention 1802, and so on and so forth...

"Sakura Ryu-san... Truth or dare?" Ruka asked

"Dare"

"act like an animal for approximately 3 minutes, any animal would do" Ruka dared

"Fine." Ryu sighed and laid flat on his back. (refer to one of the episode in the Anime Series when Mikan was with Misaki-sensei while Natsume was asleep, when Misaki-sensei called her "sea-otter")

"What are you doing?" Mikan asked

"Doing my dare" Ryu answered

"Ok, what animal are you acting?" Mikan asked

"a sea otter" Ryu answered

"You look funny Ryu-kun" Anna said and snickered and Nonoko did so, after 3 minutes...

"My turn. Shouda-san, Truth or dare?" Ryu asked

"Truth!" Sumire giggled

"Who's the person you like, who's actually in this room?" Ryu asked

"there's Natsume-kun, who seemed to be the hottest, and Ruka-kun, you and Kyu-kun!" Sumire said and smiled sweetly everyone sweat dropped

"My turn!!" Sumire said in a sing song voice

"OK, Imai-san. Truth or dare?" Sumire asked

"Truth, Don't ask anything stupid or you shall perish with my Baka gun" Hotaru said threateningly while taking her baka gun out

"O...k... ano... what's the best invention you made?" Sumire asked sweat dropping

"My Baka Cannon...Harada-san Truth or dare?" Hotaru asked stoic as ever.

"Dare" Misaki answered

"come here" Hotaru commanded and Misaki easily followed, she came near Hotaru and Hotaru whispered something to her, and which made her turn red and nodded hastily

"Hyuuga-kun? Would you like me to be your girlfriend?" Misaki asked seducing him. Mikan felt her heart beat stop for a second, while Sumire clenched her fist, and as far as I know, Everyone was wide-eyed

"To hell" Natsume answered as cold as ever can be.

"ok I've done my dare now! It's my turn!" Misaki said and took the invention.

"OK, you little peep-squeak... Hijiri Youichi, Truth or dare?" Misaki asked

"truth, old hag." Youichi answered Misaki popped a vein and everyone burst into laughter

"I'm not OLD! And I'm surely not a HAG!... anyway... tell me who you like to be with 15 years from now" Misaki said

"every girl who would like to be with me" the 10 year old replied and smirked

"Don't play around Hijiri Youichi! Tell us the truth!" Misaki whined

"I am telling the truth hag; now leave it or sleep with a ghoul!" Youichi threatened

"Fine!" Misaki sighed and gave Youichi the invention

"Nee-Chan, Truth or dare?" Youichi asked as he looked at Mikan

"Dare" Mikan smiled

"OK, hmmm..." Youichi began to thought 'oi Yuki-baka, I know you could read or hear my mind think of a song to let Nee-Chan sing' Youichi thought upon hearing this, Miyuki popped a vein and answered Youichi in her thought 'Clumsy-fergie, if not Animal city by Shakira, be grateful for I know how to forgive and forget you cold-hearted jerk!' Miyuki thought

"whatever. Anyway, I dare you to sing Clumsy by fergie with Choreography completed" Youichi dared as he and Natsume smirked

"WHAT?!" Mikan screamed

"Damn it! Polka-dots! Don't scream! You make my ears bleed!" Natsume complained

"Whatever pervert! Anyway You-Chan, give me 5 minutes to prepare... I'll be back in a jiffy!" Mikan said and dashed to the other room, which is basically the Kitchen of the lab. Youichi and Miyuki was fighting with their minds, Ruka and Natsume was talking with each other, Ryu, and Tsubasa were talking, Anna, Mayumi, Nonoko, were talking, Kyu and Sumire were talking. Yuu and Koko were also talking. Only Hotaru was doing nothing.

'oi baka, tell Nee-Chan to dedicate it to Niisan" Youichi thought in an order like manner

'be grateful Hijiri! Be grateful!' Miyuki hissed in her mind (is that even possible?)

'Mikan-senpai... Youichi told me that you need to make it look like you are dedicating it To Hyuuga-san' Miyuki thought, but Koko, who happened to have the mind reading Alice heard it and...

'WHAT?!"'Mikan screamed in her thought

"Ooouuch!" Koko and Miyuki said at the same time and everyone just looked at them and back to what they are doing. Just like that

'just do it! It's Hijiri Youichi who dared you!' Miyuki answered in her thought, Mikan disappointedly obeyed.

After 5 minutes.

"OK, ready" Mikan said and went out of the kitchen, Yuu made some illusions and Mayumi played the song

Mikan then went in the middle, facing Natsume, Youichi and mostly the boys.

She closed her eyes and sang the first line.

Opening her eyes, she smiled at Natsume (how?!) and winked

Play it cool

But I knew you knew

That cupid hit me, mmm mmm

In that part of the song, she started 'tripping', 'stumbling', 'flipping' and 'fumbling', then she falls on her knees

And so on and so forth

Then she stands up in perfect posture.

You got me slippin oh, tumbling oh, sinking oh, fumbling oh

She points a finger at Natsume.

When the song ended, she winked at Natsume and bowed, but deep inside she was fuming with anger.

"I've done my dare fairly, now it's my turn" Mikan declared

And pressed the so called green button and...

"OK! Miyu-chan, Truth or dare?" Mikan asked

"Truth" Miyuki giggled happily

"hmm... Do you like You-chan?" Mikan asked as she snickered, Miyuki felt uneasy, she looked down the floor and

"No. HE's the most cold-hearted jerk I've ever met, and there are no possibilities that we'll get together." Miyuki answered coldly

"I wasn't asking if there could be possibilities for you to be together, anyway you did answer me so, It's your turn" Mikan said and handed Miyuki the Invention 1802 (you might wonder why i called it '1802' well... that's the fave number of my older sister, and I can't think of any)

"Neko-chan, Truth or dare?" Miyuki asked

"Truth, don't wanna do anything stupid" Natsume grunted

"OK! Tell me who you like, tell the truth or you're gonna go out with ugly-hag Permy for a week" Miyuki said

"Fine. I like..." Natsume started 'Mikan... don't brag or you're toast' Natsume continued in his thoughts

'ok! Tell Yomi-san not to brag too.' Miyuki answered

'Koko... Brag and you'll suffer more than Saito would... wanna have an early death?' Natsume asked as he looked at Koko Sternly

"ugh, are you two having a staring contest? Or Natsume's Threatening Koko?" Mikan asked eyeing the two boys suspiciously

"ah, We're just having a staring contest Mikan-chan!!" Koko said

"Oh, Natsume You're next!" Mikan giggled and gave Natsume the Invention 1802

'matte Neko-chan! Who's the Mikan you're referring to? Is it the girl in here or the Celeb??' Miyuki asked in her thought

'the celebrity, there's no way I'll like that baka' Natsume answered in his thought

"oi, Andou Truth or dare?" Natsume asked

"Truth" Tsubasa answered

"How old were you when you first tripped and cried, Tell us the truth or you'll suffer" Natsume glared

"WHAT?!" Tsubasa almost screamed

"You're acting like leaf-prints, now answer my question!" Natsume scolded

"NATSUME!! My name is not leaf-prints!!" Mikan whined

"When I was 6 years old, I tripped on a pebble and cried my eyes out because there was blood in my wound" Tsubasa answered hiding his blush with his bangs, and every one burst into laughter, well Natsume smirked

"You're so childish Andou" Natsume smirked

"He-hey!" Tsubasa stuttered

"Ano, How come I didn't Hear Natsume's Answer from Miyu-chan's question?" Mikan suddenly asked

"OH that, Hyuuga-san told me his' crush... but i can't tell" Miyuki answered in a singsong voice

"Hey! That's not fair!" Mikan whined

"it is." Natsume said

"No it's not!" Mikan retorted

"Yes it is she only asked me to tell her, not all of you, Ugly!" Natsume said

"Grrrrr!! NAT-SU-ME!!" Mikan screamed

"Shut it Polka, you make my ears bleed" Natsume grunted

"Argh!!" Mikan then began sobbing

"Hey, let's play another game... It's getting boring..." Sumire sighed

"Yeah..." Anna and Nonoko agreed

"OK! How about Twisted Simon says?" Mikan suggested enthusiastically

"Hey... aren't you crying a while ago?" Ruka asked

"Ugh... no... Why?" Mikan asked as if she had just forgotten that she was sobbing on the floor a while ago, everyone fell down anime-style

"Nah, how about 20 questions then?" Misaki suggested

"Hmmm... OK!" Mikan answered

"Let's lessen it... make it to 4 questions" Anna suggested

"Why?" most of them asked

"If you haven't notice, there are 16 people playing, and it will take the whole night asking everyone 20 questions" Nonoko answered matter-of-factly

"Oh... right... OK! Tsubasa-senpai would be the first one!" Mikan said

"Hai!...Kyu-san first question... Do you like shouda-san?" Tsubasa asked

"No" Kyu answered

"What's your Alice?" Tsubasa asked

"Tool Manipulation Alice" Kyu answered

"Why are you here in the Academy?" Tsubasa asked

'kuso! He's asking the hard ones!' Kyu thought worriedly

"Ano... we are to shoot a movie here in the Academy" Kyu answered

"Really?!" Tsubasa asked

"Yes." Kyu answered

"When?!" Tsubasa asked excitedly

"That's your fifth Question.. I refuse to answer it" Kyu smirked

"aaawww! That's so bad!! Then we'll not know if when will be the shooting!" Anna and Nonoko whined

"Don't Worry... You'll just hear if when will be the shooting" Kyu grinned and he pressed the so-called Invention 1802

"OK! Miyuki-chan First question... Do you know how to act?" Kyu asked

"A bit" Miyuki answered and blushed for the question

"how good are you? As good as Mikan or as good as me and Ryu-nii?" Kyu asked and gave Mikan a mischievous grin

"umm... I think I'm not as good as any of you three... I'm lower than Mikan-Sama" It's now Miyuki's turn to grin, Mikan chuckled a bit

"Rigghhhhht... would you like to see a movie of the Sakura siblings?" Kyu asked

"heck Yeah!" Miyuki said and punched her fist in the air enthusiastically

" lastly... are you hungry?" Kyu asked

"Yeah... Is there any food Mikan-chan?" Miyuki asked

"ugh... Nonoko-chan?" Mikan asked Nonoko giving her a 'did-you-prepare-food?' Look

"Ugh... Chips?" Nonoko answered

"Oh... By any chance do you have a cucumber and a pineapple?" Mikan asked

"Yeah... but I only have Pineapple chunks inside my fridge" Nonoko answered

"That'd be great! Come with me in the kitchen!" Mikan said and pulled Nonoko to the kitchen leaving the 14 people.

"What's up with her?" Ruka asked, Natsume just shrugged

'a salad huh?' Hotaru thought as she looked at the Kitchen door

--

"Do you have any vinegar?" Mikan asked

"What kind?" Nonoko asked

" sugar cane or rice vinegar" Mikan mumbled (sugar cane vinegar and rice vinegar are the most common vinegar in the Philippines)

"Ugh... let me see..." Nonoko said and searched the shelves in the kitchen, and she found a untouched sugar cane vinegar (it's new!!) and gave it to Mikan

"Hmmm... Cucumber chunks, pineapple chunks, sugar cane vinegar... do you have chili?" Mikan asked

"Chili? As in the spicy chili?" Nonoko asked

"Yes!" Mikan answered, and Nonoko gave her two pieces of what she asked for. (is it really called chilli or pepper? Coz' I'm a bit confused... please enlighten me up! Because here in the Phil. We call it "Sili" and it's really spicy especially the small once... but Nonoko gave Mikan the larger ones)

Mikan took a large bowl and placed all the small chunks of cucumber and Pineapple and she then placed the vinegar in it then she crushed the chilies in the bowl adding half tablespoon of sugar, making it a bit sweet and spicy she placed it in the fridge and told Nonoko to take it out if she thinks it's already cold (I'm currently eating the salad, I helped my mom to make it and i liked it!, i hope the characters will like it too!) and the two girls went out of the kitchen (if you want to know the ingredients of the salad PM me, HAHAHA!! Coz' you don't know how many cucumber and pineapple to place!!)

"Hey Idiot what are you up to?" a guy's voice said

"umm... who asked? Is it Kyu or Natsume?" Mikan asked (she didn't say 'nii' coz' they might found out that she's THE celeb.)

"Me ugly" Kyu said

"again with the names, Kyu... please call me with my christened name..." Mikan said sarcastically

"Yes Mikan-ugly now tell me what are you up to?" Kyu asked again

"it's none of your business" Mikan answered and stuck her tongue out

"anyway... who's turn now?" Nonoko asked

"Miyuki-chan!!" Anna giggled

"Ok, Ruka-senpai... first... Why do you like your bunny?" Miyuki asked

"Because I like him. Period." Ruka answered

"do you sleep with it?" Miyuki asked 'she's asking embarrassing questions!' everyone thought

"NO I DON'T" Miyuki and Ruka said in Unison everyone was shocked

"Miyuki?" Mayumi asked giving her a 'what are you talking about' look

"ano... you were all thinking that i'm asking the embarrassing questions" Miyuki answered and scratched her head

"Anyway, I don't sleep with my bunny." Ruka said

"OK, do you like somebody?" Miyuki asked, and he just nodded

"Is she in here?" Miyuki asked

"Y-yes..." Ruka answered

"OK! You're turn!" Miyuki said Ruka sighed, good thing Miyuki didn't asked who it was.

"Mikan-Chan... What's your Alice?" Ruka asked

"Nullification!! Duhh!!" Mikan answered (she was lying but no one noticed it except for the people who knows her very well)

"Second... do you like someone?" Ruka asked

"Yes..." Mikan answered, Ryu's eyes began to narrow, and glared at her

"Third, what's his Alice?" Ruka asked 'please be fire!' somebody thought (I ain't tellin'!)

"Water and wind" Mikan answered

"What did you do in the kitchen?" Ruka asked

"I made a salad... Wait... I'll be back... I'll just check it out" Mikan said and dashed to the kitchen

The 15 people sighed, Mikan checked the salad if it was already chilled, she tasted it and...

"Good mixture... it's a bit spicy AND sweet!" Mikan said and giggled she took the 'large' bowl out and placed it on a tray (don't ask where it came from) and placed 16 saucers and forks, she went out bringing the large tray...

"Bon appétit!" Mikan said and placed the tray in the middle, Ryu's eyebrow twitched 'French.'

"What IS this?" Anna asked pointing at the salad

"For your Alice... I doubt you for not knowing this... It's a salad duhh!" Mikan said

"Mikan? Comment ça s'appelle?" Kyu asked pointing at the large bowl of salad (what is this called?)

"Je ne sais pas "Mikan said and blushed (I don't know, My uncle calls it "Pipinya" from Pipino/cucumber and Pinya/pineapple mixed together and read as writen)

"Quel?!" Kyu asked (what?!)

"Taisez-vous!" Mikan Shouted (shut up!)

"Taisez-vous stupide!" Natsume butted in, who can't take the screaming any longer, and of course, everyone was confused of what these three people are saying

"If you can't do anything good, let's just eat the salad that Sakura made" Ryu said

"Hai Ryu-kun!" Anna and Nonoko agreed, and they ate the salad that Mikan made

"spicy, Spicy!!" Nonoko and Anna screamed

"woohh!! Sooo sssppppiiiiiccccyyy!!" Misaki and Sumire complained, Natsume, Ruka, Tsubasa, Ryu, Kyu, Youichi, and reddened, and coughed, and some spitted the food elsewhere

"Mikan! Why the F--king hell is this spicy?!" Kyu screamed at Mikan, who was actually beside him.

"IIITTTTAAAAIIII!! You don't have to scream!!" Mikan yelled back as she rubbed her ears

BAKA, BAKA, BAKA

And the two were sent flying to the other side of the lab.

"mou! Hotaru! You're so mean!" Mikan pouted and caressed the bump on her forehead, and so did kyu

"just tell them why your salad is spicy" Hotaru said monotonously

"Oh, I placed some chili, and 'twas not that spicy!" Mikan said, everyone reddened

"it's sooooo spicy!!" Miyuki cried, and Youichi being beside her was annoyed and…

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! G-gh-ghost!!" Miyuki screamed

"Shut up ugly girl! You're so noisy!" Youichi commanded as he glared at the poor girl, and Mayumi who was so over protected over her sister was now mad…

"You little idiot! Stop doing that to my imouto! Would you like to get soakin' wet?!" Mayumi screamed at Youichi

"I dare you hag." Youichi answered bluntly

"WHY YOU LITTLE!!" Mayumi screamed and ran towards Youichi, and immediately the boy summoned ghosts to chase her away, everyone was just watching.

"aaaaaahhhhh!!" Mayumi screamed, Mikan had enough, she activated her nullifying Alice and sat down beside Natsume and Hotaru, with her arms crossed

"it's now my turn minna!" Mikan declared and took the invention 1802,

"Natsume-kun, first question… do you like someone?" Mikan asked grinning deviously

"why do you care?" Natsume asked, Mikan's grin turned to a frown and a vein popped on her forehead

"just answer my question airhead!" Mikan retorted

"look who's talking… and I like someone" Natsume answered but he just mumbled the last part, just for him to hear it

"What?" Mikan asked, even though she's just beside him

"I said I like someone! And that's your second question baka!" Natsume said and smirked

"Hey! No fair! You tricked me!" Mikan whined

"There were no rules, only to be honest with what you answer, so I could trick you leaf-prints" Natsume answered as he's smirk grew wider

"HENTAI!! Anata dai kirai Natsume-kun!!" Mikan screamed

"stop screaming panty-printed girl! You're making my ears bleed!" Natsume scolded, Ryu who was across the room was now mad...

"Mikan!" Ryu suddenly hissed

"nandesu ka Ryu?" Mikan asked, as her brother gave her a terrifying look, and she nods...

"Anyway... third question airhead, who do you like?" Mikan asked

"A human" Natsume smirked

"come on pervert! Answer me properly! Who do you really like?" Mikan asked

"A… a girl" Natsume answered, and Mikan's 4 questions was over

"Shheeesshh… no good answer… it's now your turn airhead" Mikan said and handed the invention to Natsume

"hhhmmmm…Permy, first question, why is your hair green?" Natsume asked

"ahehehe… When I was born, It's already green…" Sumire answered and sweat dropped, she was hoping that Natsume would ask her to be his' girlfriend (In your dreams Sumire!!)

"second, why did you form such idiotic fan club for me and Ruka?" Natsume asked again

"ahehehe… because you two are.. ugh… hot?" Sumire answered

"whatever, third and fourth question: do you plan on leaving me and Ruka on our own? And when?" Natsume asked, everyone sweat dropped, why would he ask such thing?!

"don't plan to, but if I do, maybe when I'm already married" Sumire answered, and this time, everyone sweat dropped.

"hey, let's stop playing! Why don't we play a different game?" Anna suggested

"Sure, Twisted Simon says?" Mikan suggested

"Yeah! Now… who would be twisted Simon?" Nonoko asked

"You-chan and Miyu-chan!" Anna, Mikan, and Nonoko squealed, and their eyes sparkled like some kind of a diamond…

"Whatever" Youichi said and shrugged

"sure! All the girls huddle in one side, and the boys, in the opposite side, then if someone get's out he or she needs to perform a song" Miyuki declared the rules

"WHAT?!" Almost everyone screamed

"Geezzz, you just need to sing… what's the biggie?" Miyuki asked

"and after being out, you need to sing impromptu" Youichi added

"What?! You mean no preparation at all?!" They all chorused

"You heard me" the silver-haired boy just shrugged

"fine… let's start already…" Misaki sighed, and everyone went to their 'sides' the two kids went on the middle to seat…

"Simon says that Anna-senpai must walk around like an Idiot until it's my turn again" Miyuki said

"Nani?!" Anna screamed as she stood up

"Ok, now you're standing up, now all you need to do is to walk like an idiot" Miyuki said as if she was teaching Anna on how to walk 'the idiot style' Anna did so, and Miyuki chuckled

"Oi, Old hag, join Anna-san with her idiotic walk" Youichi said as he looked at Misaki threateningly, Misaki sighed and walked with Anna…

"Hag, you're out" Youichi said coolly

"Wha?! Oh yeah… oh sh-t! I'm gonna sing aren't I?" Misaki asked, everyone nodded

"NNNOOOOO!!" Misaki whined

"just sing hag, or you'll surely sleeping with a ghoul" Youichi said and smirked

"Whatever… (and thus Misaki begins to sing…)

Whohoe, whihoo

If I could escape
I would, but first of all let me say
I must apologize for acting, stinking, treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold

If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favourite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, Now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape

(I wanna get away, to our sweet escape)(-boy's voice which is actually Tsubasa)

You let me down
I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out
I need to get me out of this joint
Come on, let's bounce
Counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around let's look for some common ground

So baby, times getting a little crazy
I've been getting a little lazy
Waiting for you to come save me
I can see that you're angry
By the way the you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me
Want to take you with me

If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favourite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape

Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo

If I could escape

Cause I've been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold

And re-create a place in my own world
And I could be your favourite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

Sweet escape

"Gosh Misaki-senpai, you're really good at singing…" Mikan said, and Misaki blushed and uttered a thank you

"my turn! Anna-senpai, you can now sit… Nogi-senpai… ano… hop like a bunny two times" Miyuki said and giggled, but Ruka was aware that he only needs to do that if there was a 'simon says' at the beginning of the sentence, and Miyuki didn't do it on purpose, she really wanted to laugh at Anna who had been walking around like an idiot for about 5 minutes and 6 seconds

"Hey! Come on Nogi-senpai!" Miyuki whined

"I can't, and I won't" Ruka answered, Then Youichi whispers something to Miyuki and she sweat drops

"Neechan… say the lines that Sayuri said when she was told to take steal the wallet of the man from the Movie of Mikan Sakura" Youichi said, and Mikan was horrified but she did the challenge…

"Neechan, you aren't listening to me, I didn't say 'simon says'… now you have to sing" Youichi said

"ggrrr!! You-chan! Why do you always make me do the performing taunts?!" Mikan asked angrily

"Because you are good at it" Youichi answered

"Fine!" Mikan sighed then a sound came from nowhere just ugh… sounded, and Mikan starts to sing…

Baby I love you

And I'll never let you go

But if I have to

Boy I think that you should know

All the love we made,

Can never be erased

And I promise you that you will never be replaced

Baby I love you

And I'll never let you go

But if I have to

Boy I think that you should know

All the love we made,

Can never be erased

And I promise you that you will never be replaced

I love you

Yes I do

I'll be with you

As long as you want me to

Until, the end, of time

From the day I met you I know we'd be together

Now I know I wanna be with you forever

I wanna marry you

And I wanna have your kids

Thinking never compare

To feel enough of your kisses

I can say I'm truly happy to the same

You've made me think I'll die and I'll live my life hesitate

There's never been no doubt,

In my mind

That I'll regret ever having you by my side.

But if the day comes that I'll have to let you go

I think there's something I should probably let you know

With everything that I spent with you

Then I will miss you 'coz I'm happy that I have you at all

Baby I love you

And I'll never let you go

But if I have to

Boy I think that you should know

All the love we made,

Can never be erased

And I promise you that you will never be replaced

Baby I love you

And I'll never let you go

But if I have to

Boy I think that you should know

All the love we made

Can never be erased

And I promise you that you will never be replaced

I feel for you

Yes I do

I'll be with you

As long as you want me too

Until the end of time

And she bows, everyone was in a daze except for Hotaru, Ryu, Kyu, Natsume, and Youichi.

"Mikan-chan! You sing really wonderful! Just like an angel!" Anna squealed and hugged Mikan

"Mikan-chan! My kawaii no kouhai! You're such a great singer! No wonder you're--ahheeehhhe" Misaki said as she scratched her nape… she just forgot that not all knows that she's the popular Mikan

"No wonder what Misaki-senpai?" Yuu asked

"ahhehehe.. nande mon ai… forget what I've just said… now Miyuki-chan its now your turn!" Misaki said

"hai! Demo, Mayu-neechan… simon says you eat a plate of the salad Mikan-senpai made" Miyuki grinned

"NANI?!" Mayumi screamed

"Hai, hai! You need to eat a plate of (pipinya) cucumber and pineapple salad!" Miyuki said

"hmph! Fine!" Mayumi said and ate a WHOLE plate of the salad.

"SPIIICCCYYY!! Mikan-chan! You placed a lot of chili!" Mayumi said as she drunk a bottle of water

"sorry, I think when I tasted it last time it still wasn't that spicy…" Mikan said

"Right, anyway brat it's your turn" Mayumi told Youichi, after 14 people were out, including Natsume and Hotaru…

"Okay! You can tell us what you want us to do" Miyuki said

14 people huddled together and…

"why not let them dance?" someone suggested

"no, why not make them have a some kind of a role play, and we'll just watch 'em?" another suggested

"I'll go with the dancing thingy" another said

"okay, dance a sweet dance?" Anna suggested, and everyone agreed…

Mayumi and Misaki stepped infront and…

"You're going to dance a 'sweet dance' just like for couples" Misaki said and grinned evilly

Youichi and Miyuki looked at each other and Miyuki grinned, while Youichi grinned

'we can do the same dance when we practiced for PE' Miyuki told Youichi telepathically

'whatever ugly girl' Youichi answered telepathically, and they both danced

--

"What time is it?" Mikan asked

"Nearly 11pm Mikan-chan" Yuu answered

-NATSUME's POV-

Yawn… I guess I need to sleep now… thank Kami that bastard persona didn't gave me a mission

"oohhhh… why don't we sleep already? It's kinda bad for the kids to stay up late" Saito suggested (mayumi)

"Yeah… OK guys, here are the Futons..You can borrow 'em" polka said and showed them the stack of futons in one corner

Everyone began to crowd at the corner to take the futons, but I just stayed in my position; leaning against the wall…

"Ne Natsume-kun, here's the last futon you can have it… you're the last one anyway" Polka said as she pulled the futon to my place

"hn"

She just gave me her idiotic smile and left for her place.

'twas fun, but it's also tiresome, I can't even believe that I really sang, well… It's Youichi who made me out… I know you can't believe it either… THE Natsume Hyuuga? Sing? I know it's unbelievable but, it's up to you to believe or not. Now my top prior is to sleep and wake up early tomorrow and leave this place early.

"Oyasuminasai Minna-san" Polka said

"Oyasuminasai minna" everyone said at the same time, I just sighed and closed my eyes, waiting for myself to sleep…
