This is a special chapter that will have no relation to the story. All special chapters will have ZOOLs to their new change personalities like in part 4. This chapter is going to be about Minami's birthday. It isn't going to be a long chapter.
You can think of this as a chill chapter from the main.
It already hit morning. The sun was rising from slumber. The birds are singing, people getting up, and the city is going to be busy. The alarm hit 7 AM and started to beep constantly.
Finally, someone reaches to turn off the alarm. She got up from bed, yawning with bed hair.
Natsume moaned in discomfort from her hair being messy. She used her hand to move the hair out of her face.
"This is too much work. What's today?" She looked at the calendar. It was on June 8th. Natsume quickly remembers what is today. "Ooh, that is going to be a special day for me. I guess I'll take that to him. He's going to love it." She smirked as she licked her lips.
Natsume stood in front of Tsukumo's Office. She was wondering if ZOOL is here. It is a special day for someone who she teased and played with. They have something in common together. She can't wait to have fun with him.
She knocked on the door if anyone would respond.
"Come in!" A voice called behind the door.
The empress opened the door and walked into the office. Natsume sees ZOOL gathered in the office with Tsukumo. Minami isn't here in his office. This Tsukumo is the younger brother of Ryo. He was friendly and nice towards Natsume and ZOOL.
"Oh, Natsume-chan. Good. You all are here." Tsukumo said as he looked at them.
"Isn't today our day off, Tsukumo?" Toma asked.
He nodded. "Yes, but we are here for a reason."
"Today is Minami's birthday. Is that why you call us?" Natsume chuckled.
"It is his birthday today. Tora's birthday was fun too. So, I hope this will be fun." Toma felt excited.
"Where's Minami? He isn't here." Natsume was getting a little worried.
Everyone shrugged.
"I didn't see him when I was coming over here," Torao answered.
It was strange that he didn't tell anyone where he was going. Maybe he could be visiting someone, but there's only one person he will visit. Or maybe he is late.
As on cue, Minami arrived at the office. He looks at everyone wondering why they 're feeling worried.
"Are you guys okay?" He asked, worried himself.
"We thought you went somewhere without telling us," Haruka responded.
Minami chuckled softly. "My, I didn't know you guys are attracted to me. I should prepare something more hot next time."
"Make sure you make it wild too then it would be more fun." Natsume licked her lips.
"Of course. Anything for the empress." He smiled.
"You're not serious, right?" Toma was getting jealous of Minami.
Torao chuckled. "Now, this is interesting from Toma. I didn't think you will be this cute."
The Leader of ZOOL is getting embarrassed. He turns his head away from the opposite of everyone. "Sh-Shut up."
"Don't get too comfortable, Tora. You cannot take my plaything away from me." Natsume glared at Torao with a smile. It was a sign to step away from her procession.
"You're saying Toma belongs to you?"
"Not just Toma. Minami and Haruka too. So, don't get soft with them."
He pointed at himself. "What about me?"
"You are, but you need to fix that commoner side. If you need help, ask me or Toma, it would be the safest way to learn from us." She was worried if Torao messed up if anyone asked about his commoner life.
"So, why are we gathering here? Isn't today our day off?" Minami asked. He was hoping if they remembered what today is.
They all looked at Minami.
"Today is your birthday, Mina." Toma answered.
The empress walked up to Minami to hug him. Minami smiled when she hugged him. He felt comfortable and warm like he was covered under a tiger fur. The exchange of body heat was intermediate.
Minami wrapped his arms around Natsume's waist then nuzzled her forehead. Toma was getting more jealous of Minami. He was getting more attention because it is his birthday today. The dark red-haired walks up to Natsume and Minami then grabs the empress away from Minami.
"That wasn't nice, Toma. I want to hug Minami because it is his birthday. You should at least let it slide for today." The empress pouted. She knows that he was getting jealous of Minami getting all of the attention.
Toma wrapped his arms around Natsume's shoulder. "I don't want Mina to have all of the fun just because it's his birthday."
Haruka was so confused. "What are you guys doing?"
"They are having fun, Haruka. It's getting a little hot in here too." Torao answered as he put his hand on his chin.
The empress released herself from Toma. She walks up to Haruka and pets his head. "Don't give Haruka any ideas, Tora. He's still young. Yes, he is cute but that doesn't mean you have said things like that."
Haruka felt calm and warm from Natsume's touch. He starts to blush lightly. He was enjoying it very much.
"Is this how you attract people with your charm?" Torao observed the empress.
"That's my little secret. I don't give my secrets to anyone. You have your own attractiveness. That's how we are, Tora." Natsume smirked as she stops petting Haruka. Torao understood what she meant. After all, they are tiger buddies. Maybe. She turns to Minami and grins. "What did you guys do on Minami's birthday last year?"
"We went to a Cat Cafe and discovered that Inumaru-san is allergic to cats. All of the females were attracted to Mido-san. Isumi-san was having fun playing with the cats. After that, we went to a music studio that I use frequently. It was fun and nice. It felt like a date." The platinum blond-haired answered as he grins.
"A date without me? You went to a Cat Cafe. Everyone had fun besides Toma who is allergic. That is sad. That means I can't bully him with cats." The empress pouted.
Minami laughed. "You're so cute when you pout. It's showing that new side of you." He walked up to Natsume and placed his hand on her cheeks. He leads closer to her face. "It's making me feel more excited and hotter than before."
Toma gasped. He quickly separates Natsume and Minami away from each other. The feel of jealousy was growing into him. "D-Don't do it here! Haru is here! Stay away from Natsu, Mina! She doesn't belong to you!"
"The air of love is getting thicker." Torao chuckled.
Haruka tilted his head. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Don't worry about it, Haru. You'll understand when you get older." Toma answered.
"Anyways, we're wasting time here. Let's go and celebrate Minami's birthday. So, where do you want to go?" Natsume asked.
He started to think about where he wants to go on his birthday today.
They arrived at the amusement park. It was crowded. It is getting close to summer too. They were surprised at Minami bringing them to an amusement park for his birthday. Haruka was getting distracted by the sweets on the stands.
"Why are we in an amusement park of all places?" Toma asked as he raised his brows. "It's packed in here."
Minami shrugged and replied, "I don't know. My fortune told me to come here. Mido-san, Isumi-san, and Hayabusa-chan would enjoy this place."
"At least, it is better than the Cat Cafe you guys went last year. Besides, having fun is the main reason for birthday parties. Spending time with everyone is how you create memories." Natsume said.
"Do you spend your time with Clash when you guys have days off, birthdays, and special events, Natsu?" Toma asked curiously.
She nodded as she smiled. "Of course! They are my boys! Creating memories is something we want. We don't know how long we are going to last together. So, it is something we have as a family."
They started to look at each other. Memories? Family?
"You're right, Natsu. I want to make memories with my family too. You're part of my family as well. You help us a lot during our difficult times." Toma agreed with her. ZOOL and Natsume are his families. He started to blush softly. "Also, you're cute, energetic, and beautiful."
Natsume smiled softly. "Thank you, Toma. Let's save the lovely dovely chat later. I want to tease Minami today." She walks up to him and grabs his hand. "Let's go and have fun."
"Wait!" Toma called when he reached his arm out.
"Well, hurry up! We're wasting time!" Natsume huffed.
Toma was about to speak, but Torao jumped in to talk.
"What should we do with Haruka, Toma?" Torao looked at Haruka who was still staring at the sweets stand.
Toma turned to Haruka and rubbed his head then he sighs. "You want some, Haru?"
Haruka nodded slowly. "I do." He fiddled with his fingers.
Natsume already brought the sweets, walked up to Haruka, and gave it to him. "Here. Make sure you don't make a mess, Haruka." He nodded as he grabbed the sweets from the empress's hands. She hands over the sweets to the rest of ZOOL. "You guys too." They grab the sweets from her hands.
"Thank you."
"Thanks, Natsu."
"Thanks for the sweets."
"How in the hell do I eat this?"
"Let's go. It's Minami's Birthday. Minami, you pick where you want to ride." Natsume said.
They were at the entrance of a haunted house. It felt haunted, but not too scary to be afraid. Haruka was hiding behind Torao. He doesn't like scary places or anything that scares him.
"You choose this over the rides, Mina?" Toma was shocked.
"This is the place where couples go. I thought Natsume and I could go together when we are alone." Minami said velvety. He wanted to take her to the haunted house like a date. "I know that Isumi-san doesn't like places like this."
"It looks scary. I don't want to go in there." Haruka gripping Torao's shirt, shaking.
The empress chuckled. "Let's go. We are doing this for Minami, Haruka. We'll help."
"Okay." He nodded slowly.
"Let's go." She pointed at the haunted house.
They walked into the haunted house. Haruka was still grabbing on Torao's shirt as they walk inside.
A few seconds later, a scream of terror can be heard outside of the haunted house.
On the bench, Haruka already lost his soul. There was no life in him. He didn't last 5 seconds inside the haunted house. Torao had to carry him on his back to get out of the haunted house.
"I guess it was too much for Isumi-san to handle," Minami said, worried.
The empress was sitting on the bench next to Haruka to make him feel more comfortable. "It only lasts for 5 seconds. Too fast. We didn't even help him. Maybe I should hold his hand." She patted his head to soothe him.
Minami chuckled darkly. "I don't think Isumi-san doesn't need help. He can take care of himself."
Toma nodded. "Haru is still a kid, but he doesn't need to hold hands with Natsu."
Torao smiled. "The jealousy is flowing through their veins. I didn't think Haruka would bring this much jealousy towards him."
Natsume sighed. "You're not helping, Tora. You're making it worse." She looks at Minami and sees that he looks sad. She immediately knew what he wanted. The empress turned to Torao to give a message. Torao understood what she wanted. Natsume looks back at Haruka. "Haru-chan, how do you feel?"
"I'm fine. Still recovering." He responded.
"Good." She stood up from the bench. "Shall we continue our fun?"
Toma looks around and sees that Torao isn't around. "Where's Tora?" Torao was flirting with a girl. It was embarrassing to see. Toma sighed. "Not again. Tora! Stop! You're scaring her." He walked up to Torao to stop him.
The empress quickly grabs Minami's hand. "Let's go before Toma notices." She winked.
Minami blinked then chuckled. "Of course."
Both of them leave the others behind. Torao was a good distraction for Toma to stop him. They left the amusement park away from them.
"I feel sorry for doing that to Toma. I have to apologize to him later." Natsume felt guilty for doing that.
"Fufu. I'm surprised you were able to get Mido-san to get Inumaru-san's attention by flirting with the girls. You're truly a cruel empress." Minami was happy to be alone with Natsume.
"I truly am." She smirked.
"Inumaru-san isn't going to be happy that you trick him for doing that."
"I know, but you look sad. I saw it in your eyes that you wanted to spend time with me alone on your birthday." She smiled.
Minami laughed. "I can't fool you. You're too cruel to be a fool." He reached his hand out to her. "Shall we enjoy the rest of our day?"
The empress grabbed his hands and smiled. "Yes. Let's go eat at a Ramen Shop. I'm hungry for some ramen."
"Of course, my empress. Some ramen will boost me up."
They head out to find a ramen shop to eat in the afternoon. Minami can feel the warmth of Natsume being around. It's making him want to tease and flirt with her all day on his birthday date.
Night rises. Natsume and Minami were returning home for the day. Minami enjoys his day with Natsume. The outside of the city. Minami was confused about where Natsume was taking him.
Natsume stopped at the cliff and turned to Minami. "You will love this."
Minami walked up beside her and smiled. He has never seen how beautiful it is outside the city at night. It is his first time seeing the city light. "How beautiful. The city lights are glowing like neon lights."
"I wanted to show you this place. Haruki told me you've never been to a place like these before. So, I chose this place. Not just see the city light, but the stars as well. I love watching the stars. You can't see them under the city light." Natsume smiled as she looked at the stars.
Minami looked up at the sky and saw stars. He feels loved by the woman he loves. "It's beautiful." He adverted to Natsume. "Thank you for everything, Hayabusa-chan."
She adjusted to Minami and pouted. "Call me by my name, Natsume." She teased his surname.
He blinked then chuckled. "Of course, Natsume. Anything for the empress."
"Oh, I almost forgot to give you this." The empress reached in her pockets, took out a small box wrap, and handed it over to Minami. "Happy Birthday, Minami."
He didn't know what to say. He took the present from her hands and tears were coming out from his eyes. No one has ever given him anything for a long time. This was making him very happy.
"Thank you, Natsume. I shall treasure this gift." He sniffed.
Natsume goes to Minami to comfort him. "Tears of joy. I'm glad to see you be this happy. It warms my heart. Go ahead and open it."
Minami wiped his tears then nodded. He unwraps the box and opens the inside. He widens his eyes. Inside the box was a silver watch. Minami never told her that he likes to collect watches and clocks as a hobby.
"How did you know I like watches?" He asked.
"Tora told me. He said that you like to collect watches and clocks as a hobby. I thought giving you a watch will make you wear one from me." She answered.
Minami couldn't hold his feelings anymore. He hugged her. Natsume hugs him back. He wants to touch her very velvety. Natsume looks at his eyes. It was filled with lust. He wants to play with her. She licked her lips. Minami knows that sign. He nuzzled on her cheeks. The empress starts to laugh from the tickle.
"You know, I want to do more than this." Minami deepens his voice to charm the empress.
Natsume blushed in embarrassment. "Don't do that. You're making me turn on."
"Ooh, don't worry. I won't eat you. I'll make you feel more erotic as you are now." He whispered in her ears.
"M-Mina." Natsume was shaking from his deep voice.
He chuckled. "You're so cute. Rokuji-san was right. You need a partner to break away your personality."
"Taking tips from Tsukasa? I see." Natsume pouted.
"He was the one who told me everything about you, my empress. You're so cute." He nuzzled on her once again.
She laughed. "We can enjoy our fun after we are finished celebrating your birthday with the gang."
"Of course." He smiled.
Minami lends over to Natsume and kisses her lips under the moonlight. Natsume enjoyed her moment with Minami. They separate the kiss from each other. Minami places his forehead against hers.
"I'm going to enjoy every single moment with you, Natsume." Minami wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Same with me, Minami, but you have to go through Toma. He will do anything to separate you away from me."
"I'm not worried. I have a lot of tricks up on my sleeves. He will never know what's coming at him."
Natsume released herself from Minami then reached her hands to him. "Shall we return to the others?"
He gladly accepted her hand. "Yes. Then we can have our fun all night." Minami charmed his voice.
I'm done with the special chapter. I enjoy writing this chapter. A bit too much fun. I have to break out of my dirty mind for this. TBH, I'm going to have some dirty thoughts during the main chapter as well. As I said, this chapter hasn't any relation to the main story. I was trying to maintain my dirty mind, but I can't. So, there you go.
Also Tsukumo is Ryo's younger brother. We don't know his real name yet. So, I have to use Tsukumo for now until we get his real name. Yes, Ryo has a younger brother. Also, I know they went to the amusement park on Torao Birthday, but it was supposed to go to a Haunted House. Haruka didn't enjoy it.
I hope you like this special chapter. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MINAMI my beautiful husbando!
