Author's Note

Hey everyone!! Another update!! Anyway, I'm kind of lazy to do my usual 'thanks for reviewing' list so just thank you to everybody who reviewed, or just simply read. It's very encouraging to the author to see someone enjoying her story. Anyway, this will be the talk show chapter. I think this fan fic will be around twenty chapters. Hehe.

Why would I be writing a fan fic if I owned GA itself?

Chapter Fifteen

Afternoon Coffee with Asuka Emin

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next morning, I awoke – finding Hotaru sleeping in front of the television which was still on and showing the home shopping network. She looked exhausted and she was wearing her pajamas. What was wrong with her? Was she having a hang over or something?

I'm very excited for today's plans. Natsume, Ruka and I are guests in a talk show called 'Afterrnoon Coffee with Asuka Emin'. I love watching that show back at home. Asuka is so funny and she's so pretty. I can't believe I'm actually going to STAR in her show. I have to be there by two o' clock because the show starts at four.

By one thirty, the limousine came to pick us up already. Ruka and Natsume were already in the car. Natsume was facing the window, listening to his Ipod and Ruka smiled sweetly at me. To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly interested in him as much as I was back at home.

"Hey…is…Hotaru pissed at me or something?" Ruka asked, as I got into the car.

"Um… I don't know – why?"

"I don't know, I just got the feeling"

We arrived at the building where the show would be. The people were setting up the stage. There were comfortable looking floral armchairs and a brown mahogany coffee table with mugs that said: ASUKA EMIN painted on it. There was also an ashtray and some delicious looking brownies on a plate.

I was taken back stage to have my hair and make up done. They curled my hair with a curling iron and put lipstick, eyeliner and blush-on on me. I went to check on Ruka and Natsume who were being sprayed good-smelling stuff. After that, we went outside to meet Asuka Emin.

Asuka is wonderful. She has long blonde hair and black beady eyes. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun and she was wearing a blue polo and a black skirt. She was also wearing carnation pink lipstick and blush on. Someday, I wish to be as successful as her. She has three mansions and two apartments. She also has a beach house in Miami. She's one of my idols.

"Hey guys! Are you ready for today's show?" she smiled, giving me and the rest of us a hug. Natsume kinda twitched when Asuka hugged him. He probably didn't like hugs.

Before we could reply, Kaito appeared. He already had his hair and make up done and he put his arm around me. "Hey, girlfriend" he said and kissed me on the cheek. He sounded disturbing. I tried to inch away from him but I couldn't escape from his Persona-ish grasp.

"Oh, Kaito – you're joining us, too?" Natsume said – glaring at his brother. Kaito winked at him and grinned.

"I have some fan mails for you guys to read"

FANMAILS?!?!?! I never got fan mails!!!! I'm so excited!!!

Around three thirty, the audience started arriving. It thrilled me to see crowds coming in with food and drinks as if they were going to watch a movie – except it' a talk show. I'm so nervous. I've had some pretend talk shows back at home for school projects but…

"Mikan!! We have to put eye shadow on you!!!"

At four o' clock, the theme music started playing. Then Asuka came out waving her hands while the crowd was cheering. She sat down on one of those comfortable floral arm chairs and waited for the crowd to silence. Eventually, they did and she smiled sweetly at the audience. I watched sheepishly from backstage.

"Hello everybody!!! I'm Asuka Emin and you're on Afternoon Coffee with Asuka Emin!!! Today, we've got some special guests for you!!! Please welcome Mikan Sakura, Natsume Hyuuga and Ruka Nogi – one of the HOTT-TEST celebrities to hit Tokyo!! Please welcome them folks!!!"

I was too nervous to move.

"MOVE, STUPID!!" Natsume yelled who was behind me. I tried to move my legs but still, I was too nervous.

"MOVE, DAMN IT!!" he yelled again and pushed me, I still didn't move and then the two of us fell out of backstage and the audience gasped. Asuka giggled as I turned and found Natsume's face on top of me. The crowd cheered and turned pink. I stood up and cursed and turned pink, Natsume's face was red too but I doubt the fact that he was flushed because of what just happened now.

I laughed nervously as the three of us walked upstage. One of the armchairs were big enough for two people so that's where me and Kaito sat --- he stank. And Natsume (who was now glaring at Kaito angrily) and Ruka sat on another seat that was placed right before the show. Damn.

"Thank you for joining us today" Asuka smiled. I didn't know what to say.

So there were a few stupid questions she asked us, I didn't really pay much attention to it but when the fan mail reading came, I jolted up with sheer excitement and listened intently.

"Okay, this is from a fan called – simplebutspecial" Asuka said, and opened the letter. It was scented.

Hey Natsume.

I know you hate me for saying this, but i like your eyes and your 'siga'(can't think of the english word) personality.

By the time you read this, I know you'll hate me and start cursing.. whatever.. I don't care if you curse me, i'll just curse you back, because it seems my personality is a lot like yours.. hn.. curse all you want.

Where do you by the earrings by the way? the one you wear? Send me one if you have the time.-I doubt you would, mind you. But hey, might as well try.-

I said what I wanted to say.

SbS

Oh, one more thing, I hate you Kaito.

"What's siga?" Natsume asked, after listening to the fan mail.

"It's Filipino. I can't even think of an English word either" I replied.

"You know Filipino?" Natsume glared

"We took that up in first year high school"

"I think it means tough…"

Natsume rolled his eyes.

"Just so you know – I have my earrings specially made in some earring shop thing. Oh yeah, and Kaito has one too"

"Yeah! It's a chicken"

"You freak"

"Okay here's the next fan mail" Asuka said, smiling nervously and hoping that the two boys wouldn't strike up a fight.

you cold blooded jerk, you are absolutely adorable and handsome!! darn you are handsome.. hehe.. jerk.. bwahahaha

ja!!

Erinn

"How come everyone finds you handsome?" Kaito asked, turning to Natsume. Natsume just shrugged.

Hey, sometimes it can be true.

SOMETIMES…

Okay, maybe not sometimes.

For: Mikan

Oh Mikan...you sure are a blooming star and I'm so proud to be one of your FAN!

PS: You and Natsume look good together!!

-o-o-o-o-o-

For: Natsume

Hi Natsume...you're such a great actor! LOVE YAH

-jwinkee

"I…I have a fan!!" I squealed and kissed the paper a million times. Then I read the PS note.

"M…me.. and Natsume look g-good together?"

Natsume glanced at me and turned around.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" Kaito yelled, and faced the television camera. "SHE'S MY GIRFRIEND, REMEMBER THAT"

I…I can't believe someone actually thinks me and Natsume look good together.

I'm going crazy.

-twilight dreams

I gulped. Yeah, sure Kaito is a goddamn defrosted chicken freak – I'm okay with that but I WILL NOT ADMIT THAT I LIKE NATSUME. NEVER. EVER. EVER. EVER.

Before I could say my fourth 'ever', The crowd started cheering "Kiss him! Kiss him!" My head started swelling and my cheeks were heating up. Yes, I'm in this kind of situation once more. I couldn't take it. Natsume was staring at me viciously while Kaito was batting his eyelashes disturbingly.

"How about Natsume's letter?" I said in a shaky voice, I opened his letter and read it allowed.

"I don't like that moron" Natsume remarked, turning slight pink.

The crowd silenced.

"I don't even get jealous!!"

"Stop denying it!!" Ruka grinned.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, ALRIGHT?"

Natsume stared at me and I just avoided his angry gaze.

"Liars go to hell!" a voice shouted from the crowd.

"I'D RATHER GO TO HELL THAN TELL THE TRUTH!!!"

The crowd started laughing. Damn. Natsume thought. Does that give it away?

Natsume- "Hey there this is Clover, and I am your BIGGEST fan! I am so happy that little rut Mikan didnt pick you as her boyfriend because i know you will fall for me someday. I will wait for you. Love, Clover" Dont worry I didnt mean it about the the Mikan thing.

Ruka- "Oh, my prince, I have longed to see you. I just adore you so much. And guess what...I love animals too! I dream of you every night.You're my prince and I'm you're princess. I wish you would save me and bring me to live in your castle. Signed, Ellie."

Ruka blushed. "Are you Hotaru?" he thought intently and smiled at the audience. "Thanks. I'm flattered"

"Why the hell does everyone like you?" Kaito yelled angrily. "I HATE YOU EVERYONE!!!" He cried and ran out of the stage. The audience sweat dropped.

"Okay…um…security – please comfort Kaito. Ok, here's the next fan mail!"

Dear Natsume,
Pls kill Kaito before he embarasses himself even more and force him into a mental institute.I agree to your text message MIkan is an idiot if she keeps that up .
From a person,
Mina-chan

"I HATE YOU!!" Kaito shouted from back stage. "STOP IT SECURITY, I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT DAMN TALK SHOW!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!"

I really think Kaito should be checked in a psych ward. Honestly.

Dear Mikan,
I know that you and Kaito are officially a couple, but I also heard he's obssesed with defrosted chicken! Is that true?

-Emma-

"Well…"

Natsume smiled sinisterly. "Check his back pack, will ya?" he said, thrusting the backpack at me. I opened it and so many chicken artifacts fell out. Chicken notebooks, pencils, a chicken shaped Ipod and all these disgusting looking things that don't look suitable for children to look at.

Hi NAtsume,
I'm a huge fan of yours...and also your brother KAito...
ooh both of you are so hot...
but you're hotter than him
hhmm...i just wonder why mikan chose your brother?
so how do you feel about mikan being the girlfriend of your brother?
also how will you react if you found out that ruka likes her too?
what a love chase...
ja ne
xoxoxo
-nikkiru-

"SOMEONE THINKS IM HOT?!?!" Kaito grinned, dashing out of the backstage.

"Yeah but Natsume's hotter than you" Asuka responded flatly. And with that, Kaito dashed out of the stage in tears.

"I don't care about my brother being the boyfriend of that damn thick-as-brick four year old" Natsume said, scanning me from head to toe.

"Yeah right!!!" Asuka responded. Natsume made a fist and turned pink. "Seriously I don't!!" he denied. Then he turned to Ruka, with a frown.

"Ruka, you like her?"

Ruka shook his head. "NO!!"

"B-but this fan-mail!!"

"The only one I like is H… next fan mail please!!"

Dear Mikan,

I know that you and Kaito are officially a couple, but I have this question... Do you really love him? Or you love someone else but you're just not trully sure...please answer it truthfully...

-chammel

FOR NATSUME

Dear Natsume,

Could you please kill your defrosted-chicken-lover brother! He's driving me nuts! And answer this question truthfully... Who's the most important person in your life now? If you don't answer this I'll do something that you will trully regret(scary glint of blue appeared in eye)even if i'm your fan...

-chammel

Do I love Kaito? Do I? I cannot say 'no' in national television. It would probably ruin Kaito's career, if he gets too broken-hearted, his pop idol career might hit rock bottom and it might be my fault.

"Yea" I twitched and stared at the gasping audience.

Liars go to hell. Liars go to hell…

"I love someone else too!!" I blurted. Oh damnations. But that's not true anyway.

The crowd cheered.

"The most important person in my life now is…"

Natsume glanced at me. I don't know why.

"M….me" Natsume said and smirked at the audience. "Isn't it obvious?"

"No" Kaito said from backstage. Natsume rolled his eyes.

This talk show is so damn full of lies.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the end of the talk show, we went to the Celebrity Lounge to have dinner because Ruka told us he ordered some Chinese take out and it shall be delivered to Tokyo Media Industries.

"Natsume," I said, as the two of us watched television.

"What?"

"Who IS the most important person in your life, aside from yourself?"

That had been bothering me for the longest time.

"And all those fan mails we received. Do you love anyone?"

Natsume turned off the television.

He looked down and I stared at him intently. My heart was pounding so fast that I couldn't even hear my thoughts anymore. Why was I so nervous?

"N-no" he whispered and got his Ipod and listened to it.

"NATSUME, YOU LIAR!!!!"
