Sickeningly Sweet

What am I supposed to do now? I asked myself as I stared blankly at the door.

Open it, perhaps? A voice in my head answered back.

Shut up! I shot back.

Okay, I'm really starting to lose my mind.

Well who wouldn't? I oh-so intelligently declared a little while ago that I will avenge myself and I forgot to know one thing about the whole payback scenario.

How the hell am I supposed to make him pay?

This is probably the hardest problem I've ever encountered in my life.

And I've been thinking about that ever since I woke up, took a shower and got dressed which was well over two hours ago.

Natsu- no, Hyuuga, seems to have no sort of weakness at all.

So as a result, I've been staring at the door for quite a while now.

How? How? How?

I racked my brain for an answer.

And as if the heavens heard me, a sudden flashback told me what I was supposed to do.

Aside from his best friend, Ruka; I'm the only other person he can tolerate; actually the only girl he can tolerate.

I was very, very confused.

And when I'm confused, my temper tends to rise.

Thus it explains why there were burnt remnants of trees that were supposed to be there.

And it was all due to one person.

Mikan Sakura.

Mikan was acting, well, very un-Mikan like and it was bothering me to hell.

It all started when I didn't help them with their Haunted House thing and Mikan followed me to give me the sermon of the year.

I was very irritated with her by then and plus, she added all that I quit crap too.

I know I should've said sorry or something but what she said made me even more pissed off.

And then there was the pride thing.

Besides, it was Mikan; she'll probably come back, given a few days or so.

And she did; just that morning too.

But I would've like it much better if she hadn't turn up so soon because she became really weird and confused the hell out of me.

She was acting so nice, so nice that I actually wondered if she have been abducted by aliens and was replaced with a Mikan look-alike who was more annoying than the real one.

I mean, she didn't argue with me at all today nor scream, glare, sermon, threaten, insult and all of which has the same meaning to it.

And that says a lot especially since it was Mikan we're talking about.

It was sickening really.

That at one point, she actually did something I never thought she'd do.

It never even crossed my mind until it happened or after it happened anyway.

"Hey Natsume," she called out to me.

I continued walking to wherever the road could take me though just far, far away from her since she was annoying me to hell that day.

Albeit, she didn't seem to lose her spirit at being ignored and proceeded in front of me.

"What do you want, Mikan?" I asked as I narrowed my eyes.

She smiled sweetly.

"You know, Natsume, you're so handsome." She said and added a flutter of her eyes.

I blushed considerably but managed to get my composure back.

I didn't even know why I blushed. It's not like I haven't heard that before.

"Go away, Mikan. I don't have time for this." I said aggravated, and was going to continue walking when she grabbed my sleeve and made me face her.

The very sweet smile was still on her face.

"Oh, you know, Natsume, that's what I really like about you." She said in a honey-like voice that made me cringe.

"Your personality contradicts you're alice; so warm yet so cold." She drawled on as she touched my cheek and I saw her going closer and closer that I can nearly feel her breath on mine and when I thought she was leaning in to kiss me, she passed my face and whispered seductively in my ear, "And that's just my type."

And I blushed into 100 shades of red.

I was still struck speechless when she decided to leave.

"Goodbye, cutie. Miss you already!" She said and blew me a kiss.

A few minutes have passed…

And mind still not processing…

A few minutes more…

Duh…duh..duh..

Can process incoherent words only…

A few minutes more…

And I finally managed to think thoroughly and closed my mouth which was agape earlier on.

Thankfully, the heavens didn't hate me as much as I thought it did, so she was gone after that plus no one saw the whole ordeal and saved my dignity.

Therefore, when I reached a secluded area, I vented my frustration of acting like some moronic asshole at the trees.

Oh, the poor, poor trees.

--

I smirked haughtily as I watched Natsume from afar; burning trees here and there.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for the trees.

I really do but this was just way too good to pass up being arrogant.

Besides, it's not like I always do this; usually I'm the one being smirked at.

But I still can't believe it! My plan or the first part of my plan actually worked; worked better than I could have imagined plus the look on his face was priceless that I had to use all my self-control to keep myself from laughing.

However my revenge still wasn't finished yet, and since the first part which is to act like a love-stricken girl worked; I was sure the second one will work too if my discovery is right anyway but I'm sure he'll be very frustrated by this one.

Get ready for one hell of a payback, Hyuuga!

You won't know what hit you!

And so, an evil smile appeared on my face.
