My Twisted Fairytale
Hello minna-san =_= gaaaaa, school's soooo tiring! I got so much to do! Sorry for my late update! I had a lot of things to do in school. That's why. I'm deeply sorry.
Chapter 14
"Mikan" I heard someone called my name. I turned around and Natsume was there not too far from where I'm standing, beside him was the little boy we saw yesterday at the theme park. Why are they here? "Onee-chan" I heard the boy called. A tear fell from his eye. Why is he crying? Slowly I saw the distance between us became farther. "Wait!" I yelled as I approach them but it seems like they are getting farther and farther away. "Wait!' I yelled again. I desperately ran after them but there's no use. "Natsume!!!" I yelled hoping he'll come back. I yelled his name over and over again.
"NATSUME!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and my eyes shut wide open. What the? A dream?! I hastily sat up straight, breathing heavily. I stood up and opened the curtain window. The strong ray of sunlight blinded me for a few seconds. It's already morning. I let out a sigh and did my morning routine.
It seems like I've been having a lot of weird dreams. Not to mention, I even met that kid who was actually a ghost?! My life has gone crazy! I took my bag and opened the door and stepped out. On my way out I saw someone familiar not too far away. Who could that be this early in the morning? I kept walking, staring at the person. As I get nearer my vision of the person clearer. It was Natsume. I stopped my track and stared at him. What is he doing here? A cold breeze pasted by me that sent thousand thunder bolts down to my spine and like it was in cue; he turned his head towards me. He gave me his stony look and threw his jacket at me.
"Winter is almost near. Where that." He stated, fixing his cloths. I did what he said.
"What are you doing here? It's only 8 in the morning." I asked after putting his jacket on. Now I look like a rapper with this huge jacket of his. I look really stupid, I putted my hair in high pigtails and I'm wearing a pink checkered skirt with his huge jacket, plus, my bag is a panda bag pack. Great, I look like a rapper who's trying to be cute. Anyway, this is better than freezing to death. He examines my attire. I bet he's laughing inside. He continued to look at me and then he shook his head like he's disappointed at I though! I really look like a fool! "Let's go on a date." He said like it's not a big deal that he's here this early in the morning!
"What?! Why?! We just went out yesterday!" I asked. It's not that I don't want to have a date with him; of course I'd love to! But, I'll be missing my work again! Manager won't like it! I've been absent from work a lot of times. He and his almost bald head wouldn't be pleased! I started imagining mangaer's head turning a deep shade of red and smoke emitting from his ears and nose like a bull. Oh kami-sama, what should I do?!
I watched Natsume's eyebrow met. He seems displeased at my reaction, he's scary! But manager is scarier! Especially when his almost bald head turned red from so much anger! "That wouldn't be considered as a date! Ruka and the rest were there yesterday! We never went on a date." He's losing his cool. Well, he has a point there. But wait! What about school?!
"Don't you have school?" He let out a sigh. "I'm a genius, even if I take a leave a lot of times; I'll get an A on my exams. I'm not an idiot like someone I know." He eyed me as he said "someone"
"Hmmfp! Fine fine!" I crossed my arms. He's insulting me this early in the morning! He smirked then grabbed my wrist. Kami-sama, what did I do to deserve this?!
"Where are we going?" We have been walking in the downtown for quite sometime now. Where is his car?
"Where's your car?" I asked looking around.
"I didn't bring it with me." He reply coolly
"Eh?! Why?!" This is shocking! The great cocky Natsume Hyuuga didn't bring his car?! I mean, of course, his car might have a few problems so it needed to be fixed but still. He is a Hyuuga! A Hyuuga I tell you! And as we all know, a Hyuuga is rich! That means he has more than one car!!! He might have 10 cars of his own or even more! This is totally shocking! Something is really wrong.
"No particular reason. I just felt like walking." He looked away
"Then how did you get to my apartment?!" I'm planning on flooding him with questions.
"I took a taxi." His answer made my jaws drop. Is he serious?!
"Don't joke with me." I replied. This is unbelievable. He looked at me and glared at me.
"It doesn't mean that I'm rich that I don't know how to be a commoner, you imbecile."
Wow, and I thought he was just some cocky rich spoiled kid who doesn't even know a thing about being a commoner.
"I'm amazed." That was all I could say
"Whatever. Just shut your mouth and let's have some fun." He smirked. I nodded and smiled at him.
We kept walking, checking stores out. Trying different cloths and laughing like some teenage couple without a care in the world. This is the first time I've seen this side of Natsume. I'd wish he would smile and laugh more. A few people asked us if we are couples and we only laughed. He brought me a hat that matches his. This really made me happy.
We continued checking out stores then we went to the arcade. Inside, we played a lot of games. He was awesome at playing the dance revolution. Who would have thought that this guy beside me is actually a rich cocky guy who wears designer's cloths and spend all the money he has on everything he wants? We took a picture on the photo booth, at first he doesn't want to but I kept insisting it making him scowl at me but still agreed to do it.
"You look stupid" he said between laughs as he looks at our photo. I pouted at him and looked at my copy. I smiled. This will be a precious memory. I putted my copy on my wallet then I heard my stomach growl.
"ehehe…" I laughed embarrassed at what just happened.
"You are so unfeminine." He stated with his usual monotone voice. He took my hand and we stepped out of the arcade to a nearby fast food restaurant. On our way to the restaurant I noticed that he was still holding my hand. This made me blushed but I didn't say a word, I just smiled.
He then took a sit. I looked at him and he looked back. "What?" he asked glaring.
"Hmm, aren't you going to the line?" I asked, he gave me a puzzled look.
"Why? There's a waiter, I'm sure he'll take our orders." He said in a matter-of-fact tone
"Are you serious?!" I almost yelled. So this guy doesn't know how to eat in a fast food restaurant. I sighed and pulled him to the line without waiting for his reply. He asked me on why we are on the line but I just shook my head and patted his shoulder. "Just wait and see okay?" I said and sighed.
When we reached the counter, he glared at the cashier making her shiver. I pinched him and he glared at me. He's like a child. I was the one who decided on what the both of us will eat then he offered to pay the bill. I nodded and I was shock, he took out a check?!
"Why are you taking out a check?" I asked, quite surprise. Don't tell me he'll use that to pay our bill?! This isn't a business transaction or the bank?!
"I'm going to pay our bill." He replied innocently. I slapped my forehead. You're kidding me!
"Don't you have any smaller bill?" I eyed him hoping he'll nod so that we will be saved from embarrassment. But unfortunately he shook his head.
"Then what did you pay for the hat and for the tokens on the arcade?!" his so…how should I put it…he's like a child! And here I though he already knows how to be a commoner.
I sighed and offered to pay the bill but he was stubborn. He argued with me saying that he should be the one to pay but oh god! Just let me pay will ya! We continued arguing until the cashier got annoyed and took the check. We took our seats and I sighed.
"I told you I should be the one to pay." He said taking his burger. Oh come on! He still doesn't understand the circumstances!
"Let me look at your wallet." I said, showing him my palm.
"Why?" he looked at me suspiciously.
"Just give it to me!" I glared. He did as I said and gave me his wallet. I took a peak and it was shocking! He doesn't have any cash! All he has was credit cards and a few checks!
"How did you pay for the token and the hat?!" did he stole them?! But I saw it! He talked to the cashier before on the arcade and on the store!
"Those places that we went were owned by my family." He replied coolly.
"So those were free?!" Oh goodness. This guy is unpredictable!
He nodded and took a bite on his burger. I sighed and ate my food.
After eating we took a walk on the park. We were holding hands just like a real couple. I didn't complain about the situation nor did he. We just continued walking as I ask him a few questions about his life.
"Hey, I want some ice cream." I suddenly said as I saw the ice cream stand. Natsume looked at the direction of where the stand is and let go of my hand and walked away. He seems a bit weird today. He did smile and laugh a lot which is totally out of character but there's still something that worries me. I have a very bad feeling but what is it? I watch Natsume buy some ice cream. He's now using small bills since I told you him that he can't always use his credit card or his checks.
"Owww, aren't we lucky." Someone behind me said. The voice seems familiar. It was a strong voice; the sound came from a huge man. I slowly turned my head to see the owner of the voice and to my surprise, it was one of the thugs I've encountered before. I smell trouble. I slowly backed away, taking a glance at Natsume. Why does it seem like trouble is chasing after me?
"Hey little girl, did you already forgotten about us?" another guy said behind my back. I froze and tried to escape but one of their companions captured me.
"This girl, is Hyuuga's girlfriend." Another thug said as he grin showing a missing tooth.
"We hit the jackpot!" the guy holding me snickered. Gosh, his breath smells so darn bad. The thugs then dragged me away from the park. I looked around and the people don't seem to mind me. Natsume, save me!
They brought me to a abandoned storage room. They tied my hands and feet then covered my mouth. Darn it, I hate this situation! Natsume, where are you?!!!
"It's been an hour, why isn't he coming?" the guy with a missing tooth asked acrimoniously. He glared at me then grabbed me by the arm. "Are you really his girlfriend?" he tightened his grip making me squeal a little. When he realized that I could not possibly speak he then loosens the grip then pushed me away.
"What if he won't come? What if he just abandons her?" the guy with bad breath asked
"Yeah, he's a Hyuuga anyway. Even if something might happen to this girl, he couldn't careless. There's still tons of woman after him anyway." Another guy commented. His comment made me froze. I felt a knife stab my heart. That's not true. I know Natsume would never abandon me. We might only know each other for a few days but he won't do that right? I felt tears form on my auburn orbs. He wouldn't leave me right? I closed my eyes to stop myself from crying then I heard a huge ruckus that made me open my eyes. It was Natsume, he kicked the door, totally breaking it. He seems really angry.
He looked at me and his eyes widen. His eyes turned sharp then he looked at the now shivering thugs. He looks at them with fury on his eyes. He's obviously angry. He slowly comes near them. The thugs push each other as they started running away. Natsume sighed then proceeds to where I was.
"Najdfjl" I spoke, he sighed and hit my head gently.
"I can't understand you." He cut the rope with a knife then took the handkerchief that was covering my mouth. I stare at him feeling tears roll down my face. "Natsume! I thought you were going to abandon me!!! I got scared! I though you don't care on whatever happen to me since you have a lot of girls who are willing to do anything for you!" I wined between sobs.
He let out a sigh and patted my head. "Idiot, I'm not that bad." He rolled his eyes then stood up. "Let's go, I still have to show you one last thing." He turned to look at me with gentleness in his eyes.
"Are we there yet? My feet hurts!" I complained, following him. He lead me to this narrow path and it's already night time.
"We're almost there." He said not bothering to look at me. I continued following him until he stopped making me bump into him. "Hey!" I yelped as I touch my nose that bumped into his back.
He didn't answer me back and he just kept his stare forward. I pouted and stepped in front of him. He smirked at me. "Turn around." He said. I did as he said and my eyes got amazed at what I saw. It was a small river and there were water lilies blooming. The beautiful moonlight reflects on it making it sparkle. It was truly amazing.
"You like it?" he asked. I just nod; I was too astonished to speak. I continued admiring the site. My eyes twinkled looking at it. Then I heard Natsume called my name. I turned around and what happened next was really unexpected yet the best memory I will ever have. He was kissing me?! Oh my goodness! This is just like before in my apartment but this time, I felt like I'm being manipulated by his kiss. I slowly wrap my arms on his neck as he ran his hands to my waist. What is this fuzzy feeling I'm feeling right now? My heart is skipping fast. I should be mad because he surprised me by kissing me but why is it that I just couldn't resist? He deepened the kiss making me more indulge by his passion. My knees started to weaken that I had to tighten my grip. He finally pulled away blushing. He stares at me as I get captivate by his crimson orbs.
"Mikan…" he spoke softly. I listened quietly not planning to speak a word then suddenly we heard a loud clap from behind. We turned around and we saw a person with jet-black hair tied in a ponytail. The person was wearing boots and tons of accessories on his hands. Is that a he or a she? I took my gaze off the person then to Natsume. His face was different from before. He seems a bit scared.
"I finally found you Natsume." The person smirked
"P-Persona!" Natsume stammered
Persona?! That's Persona?!
