Chapter 25 Aoi's birthday part 1

Mikan together with Nobara, Anna and Nonoko were currently in Hotaru's house, preparing theirselves for Aoi's birthday.

They were almost done as it was Hotaru who keeps on flashing her camera to the gals especially Mikan.

"Hey Hotaruuuu stop it!" Mikan said chasing Hotaru.

"Money is everything Baka.." Hotaru said with a stoic face and keeps on taking pictures. "Don't worry your gorgeous." She said smirking as it made Mikan shut up and blushed.

"Mikan-nee you look so stunning." Nobara said looking at Mikan with heart shaped eyes.

"If I'm just a boy I will court and ask you to be my girlfriend." Anna said with a boyish voice then laughed.

Nonoko sweatdropped and said "But many guys were already admiring her. That's why she's popular riiiiiiiight…"

Mikan blushed and said "Anou… they were just trying to make friends with me and they were very kind to me you know."

"To make a good impression to you idiot.." Hotaru said with a cold voice. "By the way I think Ruka-kun will be very happy to see you wearing the dress he gave you."

( AN: remember the "It was a semi-formal dress. A white tube dress with a big pink ribbon just below her chest. The upper top was decorated with light pink laces. While at the end of the dress it was like a bubble pleated dress with some pink laces and linings. It also has a matching white knee length fur boots with pink ornaments on them. She was quite breathtaking." Yup that's it you got the picture..)

"Well… I have no choice since me insist and made me wear this." Mikan said smiling. She was also wearing a light make up with black mascara and light pink glittered mask making her eyes more attractive. Her hair was fixed in a messy bun. "It's not just me whose gorgeous here you guys. We all look great." She said smiling cheerfully.

Indeed the girls were all great and stunning. Nobara was wearing the dress she bought in Mystic Noire with a green glittered mask and stylish high heels. Her hair was tucked in one side.

( AN: remember the "Hey this might look cute on you.." Nori said while handing Nobara a white tube dress with puff sleeves and have some green ribbons at the end. It looks so cute. Yup that's it. Sorry for being detailed for their outfits I really like to dress up you know. On with the story v.v)

Hotaru was wearing a lavender tube dress with lavender gloves and a violet clip on her hair and violet glittered mask. Anna was wearing a fuchsia halter dress while her hair was fixed in a half pony and a fuchsia glittered mask. Nonoko was wearing a baby blue cocktail dress with matching blue fishnets and a baby blue glittered mask.

"By the way, where's Youichi?" Hotaru said looking at Mikan.

"He said that he's going to go there by his self and you know that guy it also takes time for him to be human." Mikan said laughing "especially I think he likes Aoi-chan."

"That guy is popular with the girls too you know." Nobara said laughing.

"Alright let's go now guys. It's already time." Hotaru said as the girls got outside to see a massive black limousine waiting for them.

"Hyuuga sent a limousine for us to ride." Hotaru said calmly.

"Ohh…" Mikan said with awe.

Mikan and the others hopped into the limousine and drove off to Natsume's house.

The Hyuuga mansion was so huge as a crowd of people were there. Aoi's family and classmates were also there. The setting was elegant but it has a mixture of being girly. There's also a dance floor for the masquerade. All were wearing their mask.

Aoi was entertaining all the guests as they were complementing and greeting her a happy birthday.

Aoi was wearing a very elegant and beautiful dress. It was a red dress with white ribbons and the lower part was layered. She wears a red mask holding it and red high heels with furs. And it was designed by Mrs. Nogi.

Aoi saw mikan and the others and came up to them.

"Happy birthday Aoi-chan!" All of them said.

"Arigatou.. wow you all look so beautiful." Aoi said then darted her eyes to Mikan hugging her suddenly.

"You look great as always Mikan-nee." Aoi said smiling.

"But look at you yourself. You're so cute and beautiful too." Mikan said smiling at Aoi. Mikan looked for her gift in her bag and handed it to Aoi.

"Otanjoubi omedetou Aoi-chan. Here's my present for you." Mikan said flashing a smile to Aoi.

Aoi looked at it with sparkling eyes.

"Well.. uhh don't expect too much since I only made it. And I'm sorry for that." Mikan said rubbing her back.

"Wow I love this gift." Aoi said hugging it. "Can I open it?" Aoi said with puppy dog eyes.

"Sure." Mikan said

Aoi opened her present to found a handmade necklace and bracelet. Yet it was very cute and the beads are arranged carefully. There were also some red ribbons and a cute red headband that will suits Aoi's dress.

"Can I wear this headband now?" Aoi asked smiling.

"Yes of course. It will suit you." Mikan said smiling.

Then all of them chit-chat as the girls gave them their presents to Aoi.

Aoi lead them to a table where Ruka, Tsuji, Youichi and Natsume were seated at a table close by. The boys didn't notice them because of their masks. But of course only Youichi knows that it is Aoi.

'Wow this girl is so cute. I know I'm a year older by her but.. Could it be possible that… wah what am I thinking This girl is just an amateur.' Youichi thought as he was blushing while staring at Aoi.

"Oi.. don't stare at my sister too much." Natsume said looking at Youichi smirking.

"I wonder where's Mikan no baka.." Youichi said also smirking.

"Who knows.." Natsume said looking away with a blush. 'That girl… where is she right now.'

Natsume was wearing the suit he bought from Mystic Noire with a black mask.

( AN: remember the "But what Mikan also saw so a very young good looking boy just behind her friends, a meter away. He was quite a catch since he was wearing a black coat with red long sleeves in it and white slim tie hanging loose in his neck since some bottons were undone. He has messy raven locks and crimson red eyes. And it was none other than Natsume Hyuuga." There you got it.)

While Ruka was wearing a black coat with blue long sleeves with a light blue tie properly arranged and his hair was coolly fixed. He was also wearing a mask. Tsuji wears a semi formal lavender polo with a bit of his chest showing. While Youichi wears long sleeve black polo with a white vest with gray linings.

Many girls were also looking their way as many boys were also looking Mikan's table.

After many chattings it was already time for (party people XD) dancing not a slow one. All of them were dancig happily including our protagonists.

Mikan was swaying with the other girls not noticing behind their back were Natsume's troop.

"This is fun Hotaru.." Mikan said enjoying herself.

But then someone bump Mikan at the same time the slow song was played. Mikan was closed to falling but the one who bumped her hold her by the waist to prevent her from falling.

"Oh I'm sorry. Are you alright Miss?" The boy said with a masculine voice. He has a very deep red crimson eyes staring directly at Mikan's hazel ones.

Mikan blushed a bit because of their position and smiled. "Yeah I'm fine. Thank you."

People around them were already dancing so they have no choice but to dance with the others.

"Dance with me since we can't get out through the crowd." Natsume said already holding her by the waist and hand.

"Uh. Yeah." Mikan said putting her hand to his shoulders and holding her hand.

*************************************************************************************
On Hotaru and Tsuji

"May I have this dance mademoiselle?" Tsuji said making a cute smile to Hotaru.

Hotaru nodded her head as she blushed.

"I know it's you idiot." Hotaru said looking away with a tinge of red in her cheeks.

"And I know it's you Hotaru." Tsuji said smiling. "Uhh… you're dress suits you.." He said with a blush while looking away.

Hotaru blushed at that and thought 'You look handsome yourself.'

On Youichi and Aoi

They also have no choice but to dance since they were the only one left and they can't get out through the crowd.

"I'm so lucky to have this dance with the birthday girl." Youichi said but Aoi didn't know that it was him.

"Uhh… Thank you.." Aoi said blushing a bit. 'This guy maybe looks familiar to me.'

"I'm a bit tired can you go with me to the balcony." Aoi said smiling

"Sure." Youichi said

The two of them walked to the balcony and Youichi let Aoi rest.

"Arigatou.." Aoi said "May I know your name?" She asked

"Not telling you.." Youichi said with a cold voice.

"What a meanie.." Aoi said puffing her cheeks.

Youichi looked right and left then get something out of his pocket.

"Otanjoubi… take it." Youichi said blushing while looking away.

Aoi took it with a smile and asked "Can I open it?"

"Alright.." Youichi said blushing.

Aoi opened it and it was a cute little doll. A keychain that looks like Aoi.

"I didn't know how to pick girl's birthday presnt so I thought of making a doll that looks like you since I know how to do it a bit." Youichi said rubbing the back of his head and looking away. 'And it's my first time to make something like that. geez'

"Wow domo arigatou. It looks so cute." Aoi said suddenly hugging Youichi then looked at it again.

"But not as cute as you." Youichi said suddenly shocked by what he said and cover his mouth.

"What is it again?" Aoi said blushing.

"Nothing." Youichi said.

It was then Aoi's mom showed up and said "Daughter it's already ime." She said smiling then winked at Youichi "sorry for disturbing your moment. You can go with Aoi if you like."

Aoi blushed and said "Mommmm…. __" "C'mon accompany me" Aoi said pulling Youichi's hand as he was blushing hard.

Aoi showed up and call the attention of people.

"Since it's my birthday. I required all of to wear your mask right. It is already time for you to take it off to see the person who you were dancing with." Aoi said flashing a big smile.

Youichi took off his mask as Aoi was shocked to see that it was him. "Youichi-kun" She said blushing all of a sudden.

"Yo.." He said smirking.
