A Debt To Pay

Tsubame Sakura

Chapter 7: Double date with the Hyuugas

Damn.

Was the only thing Mikan thought, while she went out the Hyuuga residence. She didn't even think that she'll ever date a popular guy in her school. No. she didn't even want to date a guy. All she focused in her life was to study to get good grades. She doesn't want to be a burden to her grandfather nor to her best friend. She walked behind the couple that are talking endlessly, and walking beside her worst nightmare, Natsume Hyuuga.

"Tch, she never told me she's going on a date with that guy." He grunted, shrugging his shoulders.

Mikan shrugged in reply, "Don't interfere with her love life, Natsume." She said, closing her eyes shut, "What if you fell in love and she always keeps on bugging you, won't you get irritated?" She asked him with a little of sarcasm, she was sure he'll never fall in love, with his cold attitude and the way of talking to other people, yep girls might like his looks but they will soon find out they won't be liking his attitude. But that was her point of view. Natsume Hyuuga can or can not fall in love, she doesn't know about his future or hers.

"As if I'll ever fall in love," He said, glaring at her with her question.

"And it's really annoying to have an older sister." He said, soon they went in their car and Ken drove to a nearby mall.

"So, Mikan-chan?" Ken said, glancing behind him while walking with Sayaki.

She stared and smiled, "Yes?" She answered; Ken smiled back.

"You know you're really cute, so Natsume's your boyfriend?" He asked. She shook her head and replied back, "No, Ken-san… he's just a friend." She said, her cheeks turning slight pink.

"Ah," He mumbled, again smiling at her as he noticed her cheeks. She stared at Sayaki who also smiled at her with her shyness.

"Hey, there're really a lot of people here right now." Sayaki said, winking at Ken who particularly got her point, Natsume shrugged "So?"

"Well… oh! What's that?!" Sayaki shouted, "It's really a cute shop! Let's go Ken-kun!" She shouted grabbing his hand and made their way to the crowd, Mikan and Natsume followed, but soon after they lost sight of them.

Mikan panted and took a bench just behind them and Natsume sat beside her.

"Great, we lost sight of them." She said as she grunted. 'Why am I so unlucky? Oh God, now that I realized it, it's me and that Hyuuga are all alone now.' Mikan shivered, looking at the young boy beside her.

GRUMBLE

'What… was that?' Mikan thought again, hearing a grumbling sound.

GRUMBLE

'Okay, this is weird, what the hell is that?' Mikan thought again, looking around. Natsume looked at her, and stood up in front of her, "I guess you're hungry, let's go… we're eating." He said as he walked ahead.

'Holy crap, was it just my stomach grumbling? Stupid, stupid me!' She thought, while slapping her forehead. She stood up and followed Natsume. She walked beside him and looked at him timidly; he still has his usual look, emotionless. She grunted.

"So, where are we going to eat?" She asked, as she played with her fingers. Still slightly pink but all she got from the ruby-eyed boy is a shrug. She humph and proceeded walking with her eyes closed.

Natsume proceeded into a restaurant, Mikan, whose eyes are widened took a hold of her breath before saying, "Are you sure we're going to eat here?! This restaurant is particularly expensive!" She shouted, as some of the costumers looked at her, with displeased looks.

"Yeah, so?" Natsume replied. "And be quiet."

"Humph!"

"Good afternoon, sir, ma'am… how may I be in service?" The waiter asked politely.

"Give us a table for two." Natsume said. Mikan looked at him, 'I'm sure he's used to this…'

"Hey… isn't that Natsume Hyuuga?" A girl murmured to her companion, Mikan heard her and looked at the table next to theirs. "Yeah, isn't he soooo cute?" The other girl squealed.

"C'mon let's introduce ourselves." She said as they both stood up from their seats.

'Oh… great,'

They went towards their table and the other girl put her right hand on their table and looked at Natsume with a flirtatious face. "Hey cutie, aren't you Natsume Hyuuga?" The girl asked.

"Yeah, so?" He replied, not even looking at them from the menu book.

"Well, me and my friend here just wanted to ask you if you could join us in the other table." She said, "Then we could do a little fun later," She purred. 'I hate it when girls purr.' Mikan thought, glaring at the girl before her.

"Is it me or are you two just blind?" Natsume suddenly said, glaring at the two girls. The two girls were taken aback, "W-what are you talking about?" The girl said, as her companion nodded.

"I'm having a date…" He said, "…with my girlfriend here."

"E-eh?!" They both shouted looking at me with flaming eyes. Mikan gulped.

"W-what are you talking about Natsume?!" Mikan shouted. Slamming her hands on the table, looking pissed of Natsume stood up.

"What do you mean what am I talking about? Didn't you forget? I asked you to be girlfriend the day before yesterday."

'That was the time when he said I'm his slave!' Mikan thought.

"B-but it's impossible!" the girl shouted, "Hey you!! Who the hell are you?!" She shouted again as she pointed to Mikan, the other customers in the restaurant looked at them.

"I-I'm…" She was cut off by Natsume, "Do you know Mikan Sakura?" He asked the two girls.

"You mean, Mikan Sakura the all time dork from our school? What about her?!" The girl shouted.

"You're looking at her right now. Mikan Sakura is my girlfriend, so don't get anywhere near me again." He said as he kissed Mikan, to prove his her girlfriend… well, at least a fake one.

'G-great… I'm Hyuuga's slave and his girlfriend?!'

"This will be just temporary… so that these troublesome girls will leave me alone. And they might think that you being my slave would be over, that wouldn't be right, now would it?" Natsume whispered in her ear while smirking.

'Okay, I stand corrected… I'm Hyuuga's slave AND his FAKE girlfriend… no worries… r-right?'

Author's Note: Sorry for the sudden change… I would like them to make fake girlfriend, boyfriend so that the ending would be more dramatic and more complicated… and so that they won't inspect that Mikan will be always following Natsume around. They'd thought that they will have quality time together but it's supposed to be Mikan doing stuffs for Natsume. Okay? So please reviews are appreciated, flames are accepted.
