CHAPTER 3: Destiny's First deal of cards: Jack of Spades
Neither a person nor a god, but for-sees the future…… Always there but never seen, moves swiftly with the winds but not a wind, I am the puppeteer and you are my puppet, I am the one who decides what is to be done. I am your master, I am the dealer of the cards, and I'm the one who controls the game ………
Can you tell who am I?
"Whatever you say it doesn't matter" Natsume said coldly as he stood up and slowly walked towards Mikan
"Hey, what the hell are you saying" Mikan said as she stepped backward seeing Natsume is approaching him….
Natsume didn't answer back; instead he continued walking towards her. He was looking straight in her eyes.
"His eyes they are tantalizing but why is there a hint of sadness" Mikan thought as she saw Natsume nearing her
Natsume was now close to her. He then held her on her waist and pushed her towards his chest. He then whispered to her ears in a cold but tempting voice ….
"Want to play tonight, I bet you're still a virgin" as he whispered this words in a devilish way his hands were slowly moving down towards her skirt
Ruka, Jacques and Freyer froze and sweat dropped by the action of Natsume. Mikan on the other hand was still staggered; she was now full of rage….
"PAK"
A noise thud and unfroze the three, they were surprise to what just happened. Mikan gave Natsume a solid slap on the face making Natsume's grasp let loose. The noise echoed through out the quiet room…
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Mikan said firmly and gave Natsume a demeaning glare
Natsume didn't give a reply. He held the portion of his face where Mikan slapped him really hard. He then stood straight and walked pass by her. Now their backs are facing each other and he said to her….
"Remember our little game isn't over yet, I still have a claim to you no matter what you do" he said coldly to her and went to his room…..
"Mikan, are you all right?" Ruka inquired to her shocked cousin "Please forgive Natsume, he is really a nice guy and he is still dealing with his… umm… problems" he apologized
"No worries Ruka, you don't need to explain, I understand perfectly" Mikan said and gave Ruka a sweet smile "But that doesn't take the fact that he did something nasty" she said in a low tone
"So you're leaving?" Freyer asked her
"Yup… It's getting late and I still have classes tomorrow so I guess this means good bye" she said "I hope you'll enjoy your stay here bye"
"I'll walk you towards your car" Ruka said
"Thanks" Mikan replied
Both of them walked towards the door. They entered the elevator. Ruka's pad is on the 12th floor.
It was quiet. Ruka didn't dare to speak not until….
"Ruka you said he has a problem, what is it?" Mikan inquired
"It's not really a problem, but more of, something that happened two years ago" Ruka said with a sad tone
The elevator then stopped; they are now on the ground floor. And both of them walked out of the elevator
"I see" Mikan said understanding Natsume's current position
Her car arrived not long before they stepped out of the elevator. She didn't mind asking her cousin what happened two years ago. She knew that she shouldn't ask such thing. After entering her car, the driver started the engine and off they went.
Mikan stared blankly on the full moon, shining on the night sky creating a light thru the darkness. As her car passed by the road near the beach she stared still at the moon. Ruka's words echoed through out her head. When she heard what her cousin told her about Natsume having a problem, she remembered her own problem, her engagement.
"It's already October, after three months I'll be engaged to some guy I don't even know." Mikan said and sigh
"I wonder, what happened two years ago" she said to herself thinking about what Ruka said "Is it traumatizing? I think he is deeply wounded an I guess no is still there to mend him" she said to her self
"Anyway why am I thinking of that pervert" She thought and gave herself a slap mentally
After a few minutes of drive, she finally arrived at her mansion. The servants greeted her, they really love her, and she greeted them back with a smile on their face. She went straight to her room and went to sleep.
Morning came….
"It's time to wake up miss" the maid said to Mikan as she opens her window letting the fresh wind in
"Uhh… good morning……I'm still sleepy Eloise let me sleep for a bit" Mikan said to the maid
"Miss, if you're not going to wake up now you'll be late for classes and it's already 7:00" Eloise told her Mistress
"EEEEHHHHHHHH" Mikan shouted "I'm going to be late" Mikan shouted as she hurriedly stood up from her bed and went straight to her bath room
After she had finished taking a bath she went straight to the dining hall and ate her breakfast rapidly and run towards her car. The driver took off and after a few minutes they arrived at her school.
"Finally, I made it on time" Mikan said as she steps out of her car and standing in front of the school gate.
"Ohayou gozaimasu, Mikan" A girl with Pink hair greeted her
"Ohayougozaimasu Anna" Mikan greeted back
"Mikan have you heard the news?" Anna said to her as both of the walk towards their school building
"Nah, I haven't heard anything, so what's up?" Mikan said
"Remember that this week is our school festival" Anna said
"Yeah, so what's new about it?" Mikan said
"Well the band that will be playing is the black fire!" Anna said and giggled when she said the band name
"WWWHHHAAATTTT!!!" Mikan shouted "Anna your joking right?" Mikan inquired
"No, and I heard that they are coming today" Anna said as she put her finger to her left cheek
"This is so bad" Mikan said to herself and sighed
"Is something wrong? Aren't you happy that they'll be playing and besides you'll get see your cousin" Anna said as her eyes sparkle
Mikan on the other hand just gave Anna a fake smile.
"So Mikan can you introduce me to them… please…. Please…" Anna said begging Mikan to introduce her to the band
"Yeah sure" Mikan said
"That's great, but, wait aren't you going to have a practice, your piano recital is two days from now" Anna said with disappointment
"Don't worry I'll introduce you to th-." Mikan said but was interrupted when a group of girls yelled
"AAHHHH!!!" a group of girls shouts
"The black fire is here" one of the girls said as they saw the gate open wide.
A black Limousine stopped in front of the gate. The door swung open and revealed four handsome boys.
The first one who stepped out was Jacques, followed by Freyer then by Ruka and lastly by Natsume.
"Mikan they are here" Anna said in excitement and grab hold of Mikan's wrist dragging her in front of the crowd.
"Anna I think I should go now" Mikan said trying to hide herself from her cousin's band
"Ahh… don't go it'll be a total waste" Anna said as she was pulling Mikan at her wrist towards the front line
"I really need to go now" Mikan insisted and pulled herself from Anna's grasp
But unfortunately Anna's much stronger than her. Anna pulled Mikan but this time it was a little bit stronger that made Mikan lose control of her balance.
"THUD"
A loud sound was heard that caught the attention of every one
"Itai, Anna you should not have pulled me that strong" Mikan said as she rubs her head. She still didn't realize that she made a scene
"Mikan are you all right?" Anna asked in full concern
A group of boys then approached her. It was her fan club; they approached her asking if she's all right and if she's hurt or if she had any injury.
Mikan stood up and dusted her skirt and said
"Hehe… No worries I'm just fine" She said
The boys then sighed in relief and gave Mikan a way. But still Mikan didn't know that she was standing in the middle of the way.
"Oi, Little girl" A familiar cold voice said
"Are you talk-." Mikan said as she raised an eye brow but she stopped when she faced the person she was talking to. Her shot wide and her mouth open wide… She saw a boy with Raven black hair and a pair of crimson eyes staring at her….
"AAAHHH it's you again" Mikan shouted not realizing that a bunch of students were surrounding her
"Is that a way of you greeting your BOYFRIEND" Natsume said in a teasing tone and emphasizing the word "boyfriend" but still calm
"Huh???? Since when did you become my boyfriend?" Mikan said as she walks towards Natsume stomping her feet... She was now standing in front of Natsume.
Natsume leaned forward to her making their faces 3 inches apart. And answered her
"Ever since the day we have kissed" Natsume said boldly
The girls around them screamed in excitement, some where saying how lucky Mikan is and some where saying that he doesn't deserve her…
"Mikan you're lucky….. Why didn't you tell me that you're going out with Natsume?" Anna said as she dramatically provoked her
"He is not my-." Mikan said but was cut off when Natsume envelope his arms around Mikan's shoulder
"She's just shy to tell you, right?" Natsume said as he gave Mikan a glare saying "Can't run away from me"
"No that's not true" Mikan said firmly as she brush off the arms of Natsume enveloping her "I just met him last night!" she reasoned out
"Mikan you are really lucky…. You just met him and now you are his girlfriend…. I envy you" Anna said
"I said he is not my boyfriend" Mikan said again after these words she ran out of sight.
Natsume just stood there, he didn't bother following her. He just smirked and enjoyed the little show that he made; he didn't give a care whether he embarrassed her or anything.
"I think you did too much" Freyer said to Natsume tapping him at the back
"You should not have done that" Jacques said to him
"Natsume you should apologize to her" Ruka said to him with a hint of disappointment
"hn…. I don't need to bother" he said coldly
After those words, the black fire went straight to a room prepared for them until they are called up.
"How long are we supposed to stay here?" Natsume said in a bored tone
"Half an hour" Jacques replied
"hn…" was all he replied as he stood up from his seat and started walking towards the door
"Where you going? " Freyer asked
"Kill off some time, I'm getting bored here" Natsume said and with that he left
Natsume went out through the back door. He knew that there will be no students around because all of the students were gathering at the stadium and lining up for their mini concert.
He walked by the garden of the school. He saw that the leaves of the trees were slowly withering. The wind blew and it was cold. He stared at the flying leaves…
"Same season just like two years ago" Natsume said with a sad tone as he went and sat under one of the trees…
He then clutched something inside his shirt. It was a white gold necklace. Its chain is white gold and it has a white gold ring that serves as the pendant. Sadness was written all over his face….
"It's been two years "Natusme said "but still I can't move on" He said talking to the necklace he was holding. His face was covered by his bangs, he is filled with sorrow. He was reminiscing something that happened two years ago….
When suddenly….
He heard a piano playing, but it wasn't ordinary. It was the same piece that, the person two years ago used to play. The piece being played is so melancholy; there was no happiness in it.
He then decided to look for the origin of the sound. His feet led him towards a theatre. He is standing in front of a huge building. Slowly he opened the door; he doesn't want to disturb the pianist.
He opened the door and found a girl with long brunet hair playing the piano. He walked silently in the middle and took a seat and listened to the song being played. But something else caught his attention, he saw the pianist crying while playing the sad piece.
"I wonder what's up with her." Natsume thought as he was having an interest to the pianist
