Chapter 6: The Battle Begins
Natsume can't sleep the whole night thinking about a certain person with auburn hair and hazel eyes. Its Saturday 9 Am already and Natsume hasn't slept yet.
'She really looks like both gorgeous elf and a divine goddess last night. How I wish I could kiss that perfect red lips on her perfect face, to caress her soft skin, to feel the very warmth of her hugs. Grrr snap out of it Natsume! She can't choose you over Tsakaki! Your teases and your perversion anger her every single day! Accept the fact that she hates you.' Natsume though.
He bowed his head and got up from his bed, he pushed the big drawer from the wall and it revealed a secret door, a small secret door to be exact. Natsume then opened the door and it revealed a huge room, colored pink and white with tons of pictures and other collector's item. (hahah don't think that he's gay or something. Just keep reading before you react… bleeeh)
The room seems to be a room for a girl. Natsume picked picture frame that has a picture of a girl in it and said…
"Oh Mikan if only you know." That was Natsume's words. (And yes people the room are full of Mikan's picture, life size stuff toy A.K.A Mikan's whole image, and all the other stuff that Mikan sometimes drop or given away. And yes Natsume collected it all.)
"Natsume, are you there?" A voice was heard from outside of Natsume's room.
Natsume quickly got out of that secret room pulled the desk back to its place and walked towards the door.
"Yah Ruka, waddaya want?" Natsume asked after opening the door of his room.
"Nothing much, mom knows you can't cook and she said you always eat very unhealthy food whenever your alone so she asked me to bring this to you." Ruka replied while handing the brown bag full of food to Natsume.
"Well it's not my fault I can't cook; and besides what is this?" Natsume asked.
"Ow it's nothing special. It's only your favorite homemade bacon and hotdog, plus the fried rice that you've been dying to eat for a long time now." Ruka calmly said.
"I think I'm getting hungry Ruka. From the sound of it, it seems to be really tasty. Care to join me?" Natsume asked.
"Nah I already ate, but ill go with you to the dining room because I need to talk to you about some stuff." Ruka answered.
"What stuff?" Natsume asked again.
"Just go and prepare your food we will talk about it later." Ruka answered him.
Natsume went to the kitchen to prepare the food Ruka brought while Ruka is sitting at the dining table. After Natsume was done preparing he went to the dining table to join Ruka. He ate the food Ruka brought the…
"So what is that stuff you want to talk about Ruka?" Natsume asked while munching his food.
"It's noting important. It's about Mikan. Don't you think she looks lovely last night? Her dress suits her." Ruka said.
'Nothing important huh Ruka she is the most important person to me! Wait a minute I thought you like Mikan, Ruka.' "Hn" Natsume replied though deep in his thoughts he was wondering what is Ruka up to.
"What's up with the sudden decision last night? About asking us to play? Don't tell me you're jealous with that Tsakaki guy." Ruka teasingly said to Natsume.
"I'm not jealous Ruka, and besides I thought you're in love with Mikan." Natsume snapped.
"Well I was, but seeing the event last night made me think." Ruka said while smiling at Natsume.
"What event? And also what made you think?" Natsume asked, his eyes were full of confusion.
"The little battle of the band you and Tsakaki put up last night. Don't lie to me Natsume I'm your best friend I've known you since forever, I know what is lie and what the truth is. And I know the truth is your in love with Mikan but you don't want to show it." Ruka snapped back.
This silenced Natsume.
"I was in love with Mikan, and probably still but I know that you need her the most and besides you and Tsakaki are already competing with Mikan's heart I know I don't have the chance." Ruka said smiling at Natsume.
"But…" Natsume replied but he was cut off by Ruka.
"Natsume I'm ok. Now all you have to do is win Mikan for me and for yourself. She is the only girl who makes you happy Natsume, so please don't let her slip from your hands. I know what you feel and if you ask me I would go there now in Mikan's house to confess." Ruka said while laughing.
"I'm not prepared for this Ruka and you know that" Natsume answered Ruka while bowing his head.
"You don't have much time Natsume, if Tsakaki confesses first there is a huge possibility that Mikan would accept him for they know each other for so long." Ruka explained.
"Your right Ruka I should make a move now." Natsume told Ruka. After he ate Ruka left, Natsume went to his walk-in closet and change for he will go to Mikan's house.
oO0Oo
Tsakaki and Mikan are riding a chopper while talking, laughing, tickling and doing some things best friends do, but sweeter. (lolxie. How did they got in that chopper? Keep reading.)
Flashback
"Tootsie, don't tell me…" Mikan said shocked.
"Yes it is baby." He just said.
"Long have I wished to ride a chopper, but how did you know I like to ride a chopper?" she asked.
"Well I just guessed. So shall we?" Tsakaki said while smiling at her.
"This is so going to my diary." Mikan answered him while walking excitedly to the chopper.
The two went inside the chopper without any further blahbershness the chopper soon starts.
Mikan is so oblivious to where they are going. She is so happy riding a chopper for long has she dreamed of riding it and long have her mother eluded her because she is afraid of what might happen to their poor little princess.
Not long after Mikan finally asked where they are going.
"Tootsie, where are we heading?" She asked while admiring the sights.
"Well somewhere I know you would like baby." he replied while cupping her cheeks.
"uhm alright." Is her only reply while smiling back.
End of flashback
'I hope my plan will work. I love her and I want her mine forever.' Were the words that sprung in Tsakaki's thoughts while looking at the beautiful brunette he's been admiring since forever?
"Were nearly there baby" Tsakaki told her.
"Hold on where going to land." The pilot told them.
"There maybe some mistakes, we can't land here. There are many people here!" Mikan proclaimed.
Ignoring Mikan's words the chopper landed on the center of a crowded stadium.
The chopper land, Tsakaki lend his hand to Mikan signaling her to take it.
Mikan hesitantly took Tsakaki's hand thinking that they might have landed on a wrong spot. That could be really embarrassing.
But where are they really? And why are there a lot of people? It's already 6pm when they arrived at that place. What is going to happen there?
oO0Oo
The door bell rang at the Sakura mansion.
"Yes Sir?" Sana asked after opening the door.
"Is Mikan Sakura home?" The person outside the door asked.
"Oh I'm sorry Sir but she went out this morning with Sir Tsakaki." She replied.
"Do you know where they went?" The person asked again.
"From what I've heard Sir Tsakaki is planning to bring Miss Mikan to a concert." She replied.
"Do you have any idea to what concert they are going?" The person asked again.
"Well from what I've heard Sir Tsakaki has a concert today at 6pm, Dublin, Ireland yes that's the place." Sana replied.
"Oh thanks anyway. By the way if she arrives later can you please tell her that Natsume came to see her?" Natsume asked.
"Yes Sir Natsume I will."
Natsume turned around his bangs covering his eyes. He returned to his condo depressed and hopeless.
oO0Oo
Screams and shouts were heard all over the stadium when they saw a chopper landing.
"Tootsie, are you sure that we land in the right place? It looks like something's going on here." Mikan told Tsakaki.
He just ignored Mikan and keeps walking towards the stage. Mikan's eyes widened when she saw the stage with all of Tsakaki's band mates. It is then when she realized that she's in Tsakaki's concert.
They walked towards the stage; Mikan is blushing a million shades of red.
"Tootsie why in goats name are we here" Mikan asked.
"Its simple baby, were attending a concert." He replied while smirking.
"Grrr I know that but why am I coming with you up the stage just what the creep are you thinking?" She hysterically asked.
"Calm down baby, this will be a night to remember." He replied while winking at her.
When they arrive at the stage Tsakaki took the mike and begun to talk.
"Hello Ireland! how are you all today?" Tsakaki shouted at the microphone.
More cheers were heard from the crowd.
"Well I'm glad to be here to. But before we begin I would like to introduce this girl beside me to you." Tsakaki shouted at microphone while flashing a smile at the audience.
More screams were heard most especially from the ladies and gays. (lollxie)
"This is Mikan Sakura my best friend; I've got a surprise for you all. She is going to sing with us for the night." He added while smiling at Mikan.
Mikan was dumbfounded by this; she doesn't know what to do. She wants to strangle Tsakaki but she cant all she did was squeeze Tsakaki's hand really tight. (weeheheheh too bad for Tsakaki.)
'Baby, you're going to sing with us tonight.' He whispered.
'I've heard it Tootsie, what were you thinking I'm not prepared for this. I'm not dressed for this.' She whispered back (hysterically)
'You look perfect.' He replied while pinching her cheeks.
The crowd saw this and some shouted 'cute' while others shouted 'how sweet'.
A person gave Mikan a microphone.
"For our first song, its called Iris Mikan and I composed this when we were 15, since we haven't seen each other for 12 years but we talked on the phone its how we composed this song eheh." Tsakaki explained.
"I hope you like it." (At last Mikan says something.)
As instrumental started the crowed begun to silent, all ears wanting to hear the song that the two composed.
(Iris by Goo goo dolls)
"And ill give up forever to touch you
Cuz I know that you'll feel me some how,
You're the closest to heaven that ill ever be
And I don't want to go home right now." Tsakaki started.
"And all I can taste is this moment
And all I could breathe is your life,
And sooner and later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you right now." Mikan added.
"And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am." They both chorused.
"And
you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth
in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you
bleed just to know your alive" Tsakaki sang.
"And
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd
understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you
to know who I am" Mikan and Tsakaki chorused.
"I
don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd
understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you
to know who I am" As Mikan sang the last chorus a tear fell from
her auburn eyes.
Tsakaki looked at her and begun speaking on the microphone.
"Did you like the song?" Tsakaki asked the crowed.
"YES!" Was the word that could be heard throughout the whole stadium.
"Well since you like it; would you like to hear Mikan singing alone?" He asked again.
"YES!" As the crowd response to Tsakaki's question he then added.
"Ok guys but we are going to have a break after we get back the lovely Mikan Sakura here will sing for us." He stated.
Disappointed "OW" and "AW" were heard from the crowed.
"Don't be disappointed guys we will be back with a great surprise for you; for the mean time, enjoy the performance that these great dancers prepared for you." Tsubasa said.
Tsubasa is the lead guitarist of the 'Immortal Sin'.
The band went to the back stage and strait to the dressing room. When they arrived at the back stage Mikan strangled Tsakaki (Literally).
The other band members arrived at the dressing room seeing Mikan strangling Tsakaki.
They ran towards Mikan to restrain her.
"Mikan what are you doing to him?" Akashi asked. (The drummer of the band)
"Well this DOG caught me off guard." She answered furiously.
"Mikan you did pretty great though." Tsakaki answered while rolling on the floor laughing.
Actually he found Mikan's strangling very entertaining.
"Stop laughing you humiliated me!" Mikan snapped back.
"For pigs sake Mikan they love you; the crowed love you!" Tsakaki said.
"They do?" She asked dumbly.
The rest of the band sweat dropped on her question.
"It's obvious Mikan didn't you hear the shouts and the scream that they want to hear you again?" Jaykashi said.
"Oh they do!" Mikan said while clapping her hands at the same time jumping because of joy.
The members of the band again sweat dropped on this.
"Now what you must do Mikan is go to the other dressing room because all your costumes were there go change." Tsakaki told her.
"What how did that happen?" Mikan asked.
"Just go we don't have much time." He replied.
After Tsakaki answered her she ran out the door and went to the other room. (Literally)
"How did you get her costumes anyway Kaki?" Tsubasa asked. (A/n kaki is Tsakaki)
"Well." Tsakaki started.
Flashback
It was 7am at the Sakura mansion.
While Mikan is still sleeping because she is tired last night or simply because of her tardiness Tsakaki is already wide awake. He is talking to Mr. and Mrs. Sakura and Jii-chan.
"So you are planning to bring our daughter to your concert in Dublin?" Mr. Sakura asked.
"Not just bring her dear he is planning to make it sort of like her concert plus the special appearance of the band." Yuka replied.
"Yes I'm planning on that only I want ask your consent." Tsakaki replied.
"We are on full support on that. In fact we will be there to watch it!" Yuka replied.
"Thank you so much." He replied.
"But what do we need to bring?" Jii-chan asked.
"Well if you permit me I'm asking you for a very big favor." He said.
"What is that?" Mr. Sakura asked.
"Well we might need Mikan's wardrobe for her costume change." Tsakaki asked.
"We can't; if we do she will notice." Yuka answered.
"Yea that could be a big problem." Tsakaki said with a hint of worry on his voice.
"I think I have a solution for that." Mr. Sakura replied.
"And what is that solution of you dear?" Yuka asked.
"Call a friend." Was all Mr. Sakura said; he gave Yuka a wink.
With that statement and that wink they already know what he means.
End of flashback
oO0Oo
When Mikan opens the door of her dressing room her eyes widens like a koala's eyes and after that it just jump out of her eyelids. (Hehe just kidding)
"Hi princess you did great out there, by the way you met Giorgio Armani?" Mr. Sakura asked.
"Hi Miss Mikan; you did great out there I didn't know that Mr. and Mrs. Sakura's 'unica hija' is a good singer. I'm looking forward to work with you." Armani said while shaking Mikan's hand.
Mikan was dumbfounded since her father saw this he snapped Mikan out of her own world.
"Ow. Hehe. Nice to meet you; uhm but I don't know about the future yet. Ehe. But I am your no. 1 fan." Mikan said while shaking Armani's hands.
"Well we should get started should we?" Armani said.
They then began dressing Mikan; what dress Mikan is wearing? We don't know yet.
oO0Oo
"What you mean Giorgio Armani the top designer of today is just a call away?" Tsubasa asked.
"No he is not just a call away. He is just a call away only for Mr. Sakura his no. 1 costumer. Mr. Sakura has been buying tons of clothes specially designed for Mikan." Tsakaki replied.
"Ahhh" The group replied.
oO0Oo
The lights turned off which darken the whole stadium the only lights that lit the place were cell phones and the other luminous accessories that the audience is wearing.
"Ladies and Gentlemen's the time has come to stop your waiting we are gathered here today to witness the debut of Miss Mikan Sakura with the special participation of the 'Immortal Sin' band. You don't need to wait for more because let us all welcome the star that is about to twinkle; the diamond that is about to sparkle, and the sun that is about to shine Miss Mikan Sakura!" The emcee said with great pleasure.
Cheers were heard throughout the stadium, everybody was excited to see and hear Mikan sing.
"Hello everybody; I am Mikan Sakura from California USA sorry because I'm not really prepared for all of this I got surprised; but since I'm here now I don't want any of you to go home disappointed do I? So I hope you all will be entertained. We hope you will enjoy the show." Mikan started while giving everybody a happy smile that stiffened the boys. (hehhehe bleeeh)
Mikan is wearing a long-sleeved off-shoulder black leather top that reached down 2 inches above her belly button with a zipper going up at the center of her top, plain white leather micro-mini skirt and a leather black boots that reach above her knees. All thanks to Mr. Giorgio Armani.
"Well to start off I'm going to begin this with a song titled 'A day in the sun'." Mikan said.
"Well for your information all the songs that Mikan will be singing tonight is all composed by her." Tsakaki added.
(A day in the sun by Anneliese Van Der Pol)
"Everything's
working out fine
You've got all the things you want and I've got
mine
No more struggle and strife
Kickin' back and
diggin'...it's a wonderful life" Mikan started.
"And
then you awoke
To start the day out laughing
It's some kind of
a joke
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some
fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun" She sang the chorus while dancing on
the tune.
'She is beautiful with her dress. Armani sure knows how to dress her.' Tsakaki thought.
"City
girls and small town boys
Lots of pretty people tryin' to make
some noise
They'd be chilling if they only could
Instead of
tryin' hard to look so good" She sang this verse still dancing and
shaking the hands of the people.
"But
they try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the
sky
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some
fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's
doing everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will
make a plan
If you want to get it, got to get it done
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun."
While she sang this chorus Tsakaki caught her off guard again twirling her and dipping her. (For all you people who doesn't know dipping learn ballroom. Lolxie)
The crowed roared some more. Boys are jealous of course.
"Mama
said 'Listen to me,
I can't tell you what your life's gonna
be
Every day there's something new, it's true
A light could
shine on you'" Mikan sang happily.
Tsakaki went towards his guitar and pick it up and start playing again. (The band is the one playing Mikan's song)
"But
they try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the
sky
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some
fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's
doing everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will
make a plan
If you want to get it, got to get it done
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun." As Mikan finished the song the
crowed jumped up and down and screamed for more.
Mikan was pleased with the reaction of her audience.
"Did you like it?" Mikan asked the crowed.
Cheers and yells were heard. (You know what it means? It means they want more! Duh!)
"Well we are glad that you like it. For our next song I know all of you know this song." Tsakaki said.
"I know Tsakaki said everything was going to sing is my composition but I really like this song and so does Tsakaki. The song is called 'Beauty and the Beast' by Celine Dion." Mikan added.
(Beauty and the Beast by Celine Dion.)
"Tale as old as time" Tsakaki started.
"True as it can be" Mikan added.
"Barely
even friends
Than somebody bends
Unexpectedly" They sang
together.
"Just
a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little
scared
Neither one prepared" Tsakaki sang he put his guitar down
and walked towards Mikan.
"Beauty and the Beast." They sang together
"Ever just the same" Mikan sang
"Ever a surprise" Tsakaki added.
"Ever
as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will arise" They sang
together unbeknown to Mikan Tsakaki took her hand.
"Wooh, Woooh Woooooooooh" Tsakaki sang while holding Mikan's hand.
"Ever just the same" Mikan sang.
As Mikan sang that line another band is setting up their instrument on the left upper bench of the stadium. All the people are at the ground.
"Ever a surprise" Tsakaki replied
"Ever
as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will arise" Mikan sang
while looking into Tsakaki's eyes and smiling at him.
Tsakaki thought he was going to melt but he controlled it.
"Tale as old as time
Tune
as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can
change
Learning you were wrong" They sang together holding each
others hands while looking at each others eyes.
The crowed went wild because of this some shouted 'SWEET' and other shouted 'CUTE'.
"Certain
as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as
old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast." They sang together
wholeheartedly.
"Tale
as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast."
They sang again together.
"Beauty and the beast." Tsubasa ended.
"We hope you guys like it." Mikan said.
Crowd cheered.
"Well you guys want some more?" Tsakaki asked.
Crowd cheered some more.
"Well for our next song…" Mikan was cut by something or rather someone.
"Hello everybody we know it's a little rude to interrupt a concert but we came here to entertain you too. Oh and hello Mikan" Natsume said. (Yes it was Natsume and his band that are setting up on the bench; what his reasons and what he is going to do? I don't know. Bleeh)
The crowed became confused. All of them turned their heads toward the 'Black Flame'.
"It's the 'Black Flame'." a girl from the crowd shouted.
"It is one of the hottest bands in America!" another one shouted.
"Well I guess were known here too. Do you guys want to hear us sing?" Natsume asked.
The crowed though confused but they cheered.
Mikan was confused of what Natsume is doing while Tsakaki is in rage.
'So want a battle huh Natsume well then lets begin here' Tsakaki thought
"Ok for our first song its called 'Wherever you will go'." Natsume said.
(Wherever you will call by The Calling)
"So
lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When
I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If
a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And
between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own."
Natsume started.
He sure got the crowed for they cheered aloud that boomed the whole stadium.
'So you got the crowd ei Natsume well then I won't let you win; not this time.' Tsakaki thought.
'What in cotton candies name is Natsume doing? Has he gone out of his mind?' Mikan thought.
"If
I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high
or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
And
maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch
you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great
wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's
someone out there
Who can bring me back to you." Natsume
chorused while the band backs him up. Ruka is the second voice.
Natsume looked at Mikan.
'You are so beautiful today Mikan I hope I could tell you that myself.' Natsume thought
"Runaway
with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love
I
know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In
your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time."
Natsume sang this alone while looking at Mikan intently.
"If
I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could
make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go" Natsume ended.
'I hope you know that this is for you Mikan.' Natsume thought.
'I hope you don't know that that song is for you Mikan.' Tsakaki thought.
'I hope I understand what the song means. I wish I could get a copy of the lyrics the crowd is so noisy I can't understand' Mikan thought while puffing her cheeks. (hehhe lolxie.)
