Chapter Thirteen
An Abnormal Obsession
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Will you be my girlfriend, Mikan?"
I froze. What could I say? We just met and he's already asking me to be his girlfriend!!! His earnest eyes stared at me like a puppy dog begging for a bone. I stared at him and glanced at Natsume who's face expression was painted with a: Kaito-you-damn-defrosted-chicken-lover. I took a deep breath and drank some more water.
The benefits of becoming Kaito's girlfriend would probably be fame, more offers to be a cover-girl for magazines, appearances in commercials, talk shows and guest appearances in other sitcoms – I could have my BIG BREAK by being Kaito's girlfriend!!
But what about Natsume? I looked at him, he was now bending a fork and I could feel intense heat coming from his body. I turned away nervously and looked at Kaito's pleading face.
"Yeah….sure Kaito…I'll be your g-g-girl friend…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"It's past dinner" Hotaru said, checking her watch. It read 9:34
"You want to stop by my apartment for lunch? But before that we have to call a Towing Service to get my car. My apartment is a few blocks from here anyway" Ruka said.
Hotaru rolled her eyes. "Yeah sure"
After calling the Towing Service and making sure the car of Ruka would be towed, he and Hotaru went to Ruka's apartment to have dinner. Ruka heated up some noodles and they ate late dinner.
"You know, Hotaru --- I'm glad that we didn't eat in the restaurant after all"
Hotaru choked on a noodle. "Why? Because you'd rather spend time with me? Seriously… stop being cheesy, alright?"
Ruka gave her a weird look. "I wasn't going to say that. I was going to say that I'd be pissed with Kaito because he'd be talking about defrosted chicken…"
Hotaru blushed inwardly. What gave me that stupid cheesy idea, anyway? She thought and shook her head and continued to eat.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Natsume? Natsume? Are you angry at me?" I asked, as they entered the limousine to drop me at the hotel.
"Shut the hell up"
"What did I do wrong?"
"Why don't you just shut up and talk to your new boyfriend about how you're going to raise your children…or should I say your damn defrosted chickens?!?!?!"
"Are you jealous?" I said, with a raised eyebrow.
"No. I pity my brother, in fact – for asking such a moron to be his girlfriend. And you too – because you're going to marry a defrosted chicken lover"
"KAITO IS NOT A DEFROSTED CHICKEN LOVER!!!" I screeched.
Natsume gave me a dirty looked as we stopped at the hotel.
"Good night, Natsume…Good night, Kaito"
At that moment, Kaito kissed me again. It tasted like defrosted chicken once more and I wanted to throw up.
"Good night, Natsume!!" I repeated.
Natsume slammed the limousine door and drove off. HE'S SUCH A RUDE GUY. I HATE HIM. I HATE HIM. I HATE HIM. I HATE HIM. I JUST WANNA KILL HIM
"AND KAITO IS NOT A DEFROSTED CHICKEN LOVER!!" I yelled at the car and stomped to the lobby.
I entered my hotel room and Hotaru wasn't there yet. I slumped on my bed and my cell phone beeped. I opened my inbox. It was from Kaito:
Hey Mikan. I'm so glad that ur my girlfriend. You wanna go on a date tomorrow? Let me know. Oh yeah, add me in ur messenger. My messenger is: raised my eyebrow at his email. Defrostedchicken234? What a pathetic username. But still, he's my boyfriend after all and I should respect his…hobbies and interests.
Ok. Pick me up at lunch time, if dats ok wid u.
I sighed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. My phone beeped again. It was from Natsume:
You're a damn loser.
I wanted to crush my phone. I replied to his text:
Die you pervert.
As I took a shower, I thought to myself. Maybe it won't be so bad to have a defrosted-chicken loving boyfriend after all.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When I woke up, Hotaru was already sleeping in the other bed. I stretched and shook her. "Go away" she muttered.
I went to my dresser and got some jeans and a white t-shirt. I pony-tailed my hair and went downstairs to have breakfast. As I stepped to the café, I noticed this tiny man was snapping photographs of me. I turned to him and he grinned sheepishly at me.
"Excuse me, what are you doing?"
"I'm a photographer. And everyone's paying to see YOU without makeup"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Mikan Sakura…you're a celebrity now!!"
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At lunch time, I waited for the limousine to pick me up. But then a bus stopped for me and Kaito stepped out. He was wearing a blue shirt and gray jeans. He's SUPER CUTE. He removed his expensive looking shades and winked at me. My heart fluttered and I went up to him, he kissed me on the cheek – he didn't smell like defrosted chicken this time.
"Why…why are we riding a bus?"
"Oh, this is a tour bus!"
"Tour bus? Where are we going?" I asked, as he took my hand and we walked inside the bus.
"You'll see!!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-THE DEFROSTED CHICKEN LAND-
Ohmygod. I'm going to die.
This is too pathetic to be true.
Kaito looked at me. "You digging it?"
I pasted a fake smile on my face. "Yeah…I'm already loving it…"
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?!!?!?!?
He took my hand and both of us went down. The tour guide person told us to be back in two hours. TWO LONG HOURS. DAMNATIONS.
We entered the theme park. There was a carousel --- only there weren't any horses but there were defrosted chickens in different shapes. Some were barbeques, some were still in their plastics and some were not yet defrosted. This was such a demented place. There was a roller coaster that were defrosted chickens. There were different demented rides but there was only one normal stall. A cotton candy stall.
"Where do you want to go first?"
"Um…I'm kinda hungry. Let's go to the Cotton Candy"
Kaito took out his wallet and we both went to the Cotton Candy stall.
"Two please" he smiled. KAITO WAS SO CHARMING….
The cotton candy wasn't pink like it usually is. It was pale looking and smelled icy. After making the cotton candy, he placed it in a plastic and handed it to us. I took a piece and popped it in my mouth.
Guess what flavor it was.
"Mmmm…defrosted chicken!!!" Kaito said, winking at me.
OH HELL.
After riding in a few demented rides, I took a seat in front of a stage while drinking my Defrosted Chicken flavored coke to dissatisfaction. A man in a chicken costume came up the stage and the crowd started cheering like mad. I watched as someone tossed him a microphone and he started singing:
"Defrosted Chickens….
I need you in my sight
From the moment I wake up
To the time I close my eyes…
Defrosted Chicken…
You stare at me lovingly
And I say…
AND I SAY….
"It's the Defrosted Chicken anthem" Kaito whispered. He gave me a piece of paper with the lyrics.
"Keep it. I already memorized the lyrics"
"I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU
I NEED YOUR ICY TOUCH
DEFROSSTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDD
DEFROSTEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
DEFROSTEDDDDDDDD
OH YEAHHHH!!!!
CHICKEN!! CHICKEN! CHICKEN! CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED YOUUUU
DEFROSTED CHICKEN!!!!!
WOAHHHHHH!! AWRIGHT!!!!"
He was about to go to the intermission when Kaito (thank god) told me that we ran out of time and had to be back at the bus.
"SO…did you enjoy today?"
NO.
"Yes!"
"Maybe you can join the Defrosted Chicken Fan Club"
What can I say? He's my boyfriend, for God's sake!!! I can't just spit out and say "No because it's pathetic". I gave a faint smile and murmured 'maybe'. UGH. Kaito clapped happily as the two of us sat down in the bus. The tour guide started counting us if we were complete and finally sat down beside the driver.
We stopped by the bus station and from there we took a taxi to Tokyo Media Industries. We went up to the Celebrity Lounge and I looked inside the refrigerator to see if there was anything suitable to eat… THAT'S NOT DEFROSTED CHICKEN.
I opened the television and the two of us watched a music video. Then, Kaito's face appeared on television.
"Ooohhh… this is my song Anonymously Loving You" Kaito grinned, and I exceeded the volume to hear his voice.
"Tell me…maybe I should tell you who I am…
These love letters break my soul
My heart slowly unfolds
I'm anonymously loving you….."
Well, it wasn't bad. At least there's no defrosted chicken.
At the end of the music video, a pack of defrosted chicken came out. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH KAITO?!!??!?!?!?!?!
Before we could say anything, Natsume and Ruka walked into the room.
"Oi. Freak. We have a commercial tomorrow morning" Natsume said, hopping on the couch.
"Commercial?" My eyes lit up. "Commercial for what?"
"Toothpaste… Fluoride Friends toothpaste" Natsume said, looking at a crumpled piece of paper.
"We have to be by the studio at eleven in the morning" he continued.
"Oh…Ruka…are you going to be there too?" I asked, turning to Ruka who was heading for the kitchen.
"No. I'm doing another commercial for McDonalds" Ruka replied.
"So…it's just going to be me and you?" I said, turning to Natsume – my eye twitching and my face slightly heating up.
Natsume rolled his eyes and cursed. I rolled my eyes as well.
Tomorrow might be hell.
But at least, there's no defrosted chicken.
