It looks like I ended up publishing this chapter earlier than expected :) and I presume that you are happy?
Be warned of the million grammatical errors that would stumble upon when reading this chapter. Yeah, I've re-read it but it's like 2:39 AM here and I don't think my eyes can spot that many mistakes with the state that I'm in. Lolz
Dedicated to those who are currently reading this story, I love you! :)

Chapter 2: Meet them cousins.
'I can't believe it. You actually had the guts to do it,'
Kaname said with a tinge of amusement in his voice.
"Well, what can I say? That's just me." I smiled at him as I went over his features. His hair was purple in color while his eyes were a darker shade of purple. I wanted to ask him about the shade of his eyes when he interrupted my curious thoughts, "No, my eyes are natural. Aren't they pretty? But it seems like black cat's eyes are far more superior." Kaname ruffled his hair as these words flew out of his mouth.
"Black Cat? Who is he? Or she?" I voiced out my uncertainties as I gave him a confused look.
"You don't know Black Cat? I guess it can be safely said that you're living in a cave." Kaname smirked at me.
"Shut up," I retorted back at him as I rolled my eyes.
"No, seriously, you don't know black cat?" Kaname trailed off as he leaned back on his seat.
"Well, I remember some of my friends talking about this 'Black Cat' person. Does that count?" I said as I tried my best in identifying this so-called 'Black Cat' person.
"I'll take that as a no," Kaname replied as he slightly chuckled.
"Hey guys! Aren't you eating?" A shout interrupted our soon to be serious conversation.
Both of us searched for the source of the voice and found ourselves looking at Tsubasa, my best friend. His murky blue hair slightly disheveled, eyes dancing with amusement, hands were infested with peanut butter and the same can be said about his radiant face.
I snickered at the state that he was in, "I thought you were just making peanut butter sandwiches. What happened?" I heard Kaname shouted back at him.
"A lot has happened. Come here!" his smile was wider now as he ushered Kaname to enter the kitchen.
"Okay!" Kaname laughed as he slightly jogged towards the kitchen. I saw his face turn into an amused one as he entered the kitchen just to hear him shout, "Eff!"
I laughed at this but I didn't notice two figures lurking behind me. By the time I noticed their presence, it was too late – I was captured. I screamed my head off as I tried wriggling out of their strong grip but that deemed impossible. I heard one of the two – Kei, whose hair was red as blood when paired off with his blue pools which give off friendly vibes, shout at the top of his lungs, "This kid is so damn hard to handle!"
I could hear the other one – Sei, his twin brother, whose hair was turquoise with red streaks at the end and eyes green as trees replied to him, "At least you got that right bro." the words went out of him mouth as he grunted when I kicked something which felt like his foot.
Both of them came to a halt at the kitchen's entrance and I don't think I like what I'm witnessing right now, the room was what you call a peanut butter haven, the counters, walls and even the floor was infested with peanut butter.
I saw Kaname, now covered with peanut butter from head to toe, holding a jar of peanut butter while leaning on the door of the refrigerator. While Ruka, who had the typical prince charming look - blonde hair and clear blue orbs, taking cover behind a chair, also holding a jar of peanut butter. I could see, Koko – dirty brown hair and shining gold orbs, awake from his slumber and now hiding under the dining table while holding another jar of peanut butter.
This led me to think how many jars of peanut butter they have but that thought ceased from my mind when I heard Tsubasa, who was sitting down on the dining table, covered with peanut butter said these words, "We have yet make her feel welcomed, right guys?"
Then it dawned to me, I'll be covered in peanut butter in no longer than a few good seconds if I ever step in the kitchen. Thstwas when I felt the twins loosen their grip on me and pushed me into the kitchen, into hell - covered in peanut butter that is.
"Wasn't that fun Mikan?" Kaname disturbed me from drying my hair any further. I sent an exasperated sigh at him as I continued drying my hair and observed my surroundings; everyone was fresh from the shower. I chuckled as I recalled back what happened after I entered the peanut butter war, peanut butter could be seen flying about the room heading towards any direction the shooter wants it to go to. It ended with all of us peanut butter infested and looking like pigs that just can't get enough of bathing in the mud.
Now, all of us gathered in the living room and feeling rather content with each other's presence. I moved my gaze to the plasma television which was now airing an action-packed movie, it was centered on an assassin who was just given the yet to be the most complicated mission ever.
I could feel all eyes on me when I said, "Wow, I would kill to live like that."
"You'll regret that you've once wished for that." Ruka whispered as he heaved a sigh and messed up his perfectly combed blonde hair with a half-hearted smile creeping up on his face.
I gave him a questioning look as I glanced at Tsubasa, who gave curt nod and tilted his head left. I moved my gaze to the left and met Kaname's purple orbs, "Think carefully Mikan, where have you heard Black Cat before?"
I lazily plopped on the warm, inviting bed that Tsubasa had provided me with. I stared at the ceiling as I recollected back as to what had happened back at the living room, the serious conversation centering on a certain black cat. Before I fell asleep, I remembered that I had forgotten to tell Tsubasa's other cousins to keep my presence here a secret but I shook that thought off, thinking that I will definitely tell them tomorrow but only for me to forget about it the next day and the next few days until it reached exactly one month in which I have not told them.
Exactly one month I tell you and apparently that one month is enough for my step family to search for me as I found out that my step-family was standing outside the mansion, accompanied by some police cars, waiting for me. This marks the start of my great journey, a journey which changed my whole life.
Soon to be published, Chapter 3: The Great Escape
Just so you know, I rushed the ending. You could see it too, right?
Teasers are on my profile just for your information :) Review if you would like to but they are appreciated ;) I want review that comes from a willing reader, not a forced one.
Should I turn the genre of this fic to Adventure? and write an adventure themed fic? or should I just stick to writing romance comedy?
The next chapter will be dedicated to those who can guess, Who is Black Cat? and What is his role in this story?
-hint- Natsume is NOT the Black Cat :)
Good Luck! :)
Have a good day ahead of you~
