Next Day
I noticed Mikan and her friends approaching their lockers once they were about to leave, we all grabbed them from behind.
"Ow! Fuck!" we all winced. We were on the floor rubbing our sore spots, looking at our girlfriends.
"Fuck. Sorry." Harada said. Our girlfriends all helped us off the floor.
"You guys said yourself that we were chick with arms. You're lucky we didn't pull out our weapons. And as a bonus, I personally told you, Natsume that you had to at least call my name before grabbing me like that. You better do it the next time, or we won't know what happens to you guys." Mikan said. I hugged her waist and pecked her cheek.
"You wouldn't hurt me." I said.
"Don't get too arrogant. If I don't know it's you, I will." She said. I held a hand to my heart and pretended to be hurt.
"Anyway, we have other business." Andou said.
"And that is?" Shoda asked.
"If you want to come to my family ball." I said.
"I don't know Natsume. I'm guessing you and your family is pretty famous especially with your band. I probably won't do well with press." Mikan said.
"No press at family balls. Our family despises them interrupting people while eating and dancing or talking so there will be practically be no press. The only press you'll probably find is me." Imai said.
"I guess it's alright then. You're sure there won't be any press?" Mikan asked, uneasily.
"Positive." I said. She sighed in relief.
"Alright. I'm going to have to get ready at your house though." she said.
Weekend Mikan's POV
I snuck out of the house and ran to Natsume, next door. I was wearing some normal clothes so that they wouldn't know I was the maid of the house next door. When I rang the bell, Natsume immediately opened up. He was wearing a tux with a red tie.
"My, don't you look dashing." I said. He chuckled.
"Yes, yes I do." he agreed. I pecked his cheek.
"Where do you want me to get ready?" I asked.
"All the girls are getting ready in their boyfriend's rooms. I imply since I am your boyfriend that you will be
doing the same." he answered. I nodded and headed up to his room. This time, I knew how to get my dress on and could do it all by myself, but first, I painted my nails and did my hair and makeup. The thing was that I needed help with tying myself up for the dress. I managed to work it out though, thank the lord I'm flexible. I walked out of Natsume room and down the staircase. My friends were already in the living room and Natsume was waiting for me at the end of the staircase. He took my hand and kissed it like last time.
"M'lady." he said
"Good sir." I giggled.
"What the hell?" Mochu asked.
"Insider joke." I responded.
"You look beautiful." Natsume said.
"Don't rape me." I said. He chuckled.
"Let's get going. The place is pretty far." Hotaru said. I nodded and we all got in the limo waiting for us outside. The ride was about an hour long and the limo parked indoors to assure that nobody outside would see us. We all got out and entered a ballroom with our partners, arms entwined. A man announced everybody who walked in.
"Young Master Yuu Tobita." he said.
"Young Master Kitsuneme Ling and Ms. Nonoko Ogasawara as his companion." he announced.
"Young Master Kokoro Yome and Ms. Anna Unemomiya as his companion." he continued.
"Young Master Mochiage and Ms. Sumire Shoda as his companion."
"Young Master Andou and Ms. Misaki Harada as his companion."
"Young Mistress Hotaru Imai and her companion, Ruka Nogi."
"Young Master Natsume Hyuuga and his companion, whose name will not be announced." he said.
"May I please remind you that there will be nothing published and no guests shall be mentioned outside of the family or in public. No press attention is wanted." the announcer finished. Natsume nodded to the announcer as thanks before we finished going down the grand staircase. Our friends were all at the bottom and two women approached us. Both of them looked just like Natsume except as female versions. One seemed to be about 14 and she had a short hair up to her shoulders, the same crimson eyes and raven black hair as Natsume. The other woman seemed like an adult still young and had Natsume's appearances.
"Natsume! For once you brought a partner! Please tell me who!" the both of the women said. Natsume looked to me in questioning.
"Who are they?" I asked gently to Natsume.
"Oh dear! How rude of me? I am Kaoru Hyuuga, Natsume's mom. Please call me Kaoru." the older woman said.
"And I'm Aoi Hyuuga. I'm his little sister! Just call me Aoi!" the younger girl said.
"I'm Mikan Sakura. Please don't let any word out about who I am." I said with a bow.
"Of course. So did my son hire you to come or did you actually come of your own will?" Kaoru asked.
"Actually, I'm his girlfriend." I muttered in embarrassment.
"Girlfriend?" Kaoru and Aoi yelled.
"Could you two keep it down? She doesn't really want her name spreading too much and here you are
yelling my relationship to her out loud." Natsume said. They both frowned, upset at their actions. I smiled.
"It's alright Natsume. Hotaru said that your family doesn't really like press, right? I doubt with the security they have here that anybody will let our relationship out. Plus, I trust Kaoru-san and Aoi-chan already. They are your immediate family after all." I said. Natsume smiled at me and pecked my cheek.
"Oh my gosh! Thank you! She's so nice! She wins the golden stamp of approval!" Kaoru-san and Aoi-chan yelled together in unison, hugging me tightly. It seemed to me like they were crying tears of joy.
"Haha, aren't you going to ruin your makeup?" I asked with a giggle.
"We don't care!" they said. Natsume pried them both off of me.
"Yeah, well. Keep your hands off my girlfriend. Mine and mine only." Natsume said as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Oooh, Aoi, he's possessive. This is serious." Kaoru-san said.
"Yes. But now we have to fix our makeup." Aoi-chan said. Nonoko and Anna approached.
"We can help you with that." they said in unison with sweet smiles.
"Who are you?" they asked kindly.
"I'm Nonoko Ogasawara. I'm also Kitsu-kun's girlfriend and another one of Mikan's friends." Nonoko said.
"I'm Anna Unemomiya. I'm also Koko's girlfriend and one of Mikan-chan's friends." Anna said.
"I'm a chemist and I've already formulated water-proof makeup." Nonoko said.
"And I'm a cook, but together with some herbs and Nonoko's abilities, we put together wipes that could make the makeup come off." Anna said.
"I'm Sumire Shoda, Mochu's girlfriend and another of Mikan's friends. I'm a pro at applying makeup. We all use the makeup that Nonoko and Anna said. They are also very healthy and don't give you acne because they are oil free and organic." Permy said. They, right there in the middle of the ballroom, got to work on both women. In less than 3 minutes they were done and they both looked gorgeous. They pulled out their compact mirrors and gasped.
"You and the band really picked out good girlfriends. My god!" Kaoru-san said to Natsume. All of us smiled.
"And they have great smiles." Aoi-chan said.
"Thank you." we all replied.
"Not to mention, they're dangerous too." Tsubasa-sempai said. I had begun to call him that, and he seemed very happy with it.
"Dangerous?" Aoi-chan asked.
"We all know a form of self defense and are skilled in a traditional weapon." Permy answered.
"I can use the spiked ball mace and am great in hand to hand combat." Misaki said.
"I use daggers and carry around a knife with me at all times." Permy said.
"We use nun chucks and we carry around tasers or stun guns." Anna and Nonoko said in unison.
"I am a skilled archer and you know I like to use guns of all kinds." Hotaru said.
"I sword fight and am rather talented in martial arts. But of course we only use these abilities as a manner of
self defense." I finished.
"And she's an acrobat. She can jumped down from higher than fifty feet and land on her feet or climb down a tree with a sprained ankle." Koko said, pointing at me. Everybody nodded.
"Wow. Superwomen with super beauty, and super smiles." Kaoru-san said. We thanked her for the compliment again.
"Well it seems to me like there are other guests to greet. Enjoy the night. I hope to see you again soon, Mikan-chan." Kaoru-san said.
"Who accompanied you, Aoi?" Hotaru asked. Aoi pulled somebody over to us. Beside her stood a boy with silver locks and teal eyes. He seemed familiar.
"This is Youichi Hijiri, my boyfriend." Aoi said.
"Aren't you a little too young to date?" Natsume asked with a raised eyebrow.
"She can date whenever she wants as long as doesn't do anything stupid." Hotaru said. They glared at each other for a second.
"Have I seen you somewhere before?" I asked Hijiri-san.
"I was just wondering. You seem familiar too." he replied. I stood and thought for a bit before snapping my fingers.
"You-chan!" I said.
"You're that girl I called nee-chan!" he said.
"Nee-chan?" Natsume asked.
"He's not really my brother, but when I was a kid and he was still young, I found him crying in the park. He had nobody to play with so I played with him everyday that summer. He started calling me nee-chan until he had to move. How have you been, You-chan?" I explained.
"Fine. I didn't expect you to ever meet Natsume-nii." he said.
"Nii?" I asked.
"I've always called him Natsume-nii cuz I looked up to him. He just didn't know I started dating his sister
until now." You-chan explained. Natsume ruffled his hair.
"It doesn't matter. I know you'll take care of her. But be on your guard. She's an instable creature, rather bipolar that buriko." Natsume said. The two chuckled while Aoi pouted before stepping on Natsume's foot
and punching Youichi upside the head. I giggled.
"How could you laugh when you're boyfriend just got hurt?" Natsume asked.
"Awww. My baby has a boo boo." I teased before pecking his cheek.
"Enough mush. Let's go dance." Hotaru said. We danced and talked the night away.
