A MXN CHAPTER REQUESTED BY candyxgirl and dominiqueanne
MY FOE IS MY FIANCÉ?!
Chapter 6 Lesson One: Call Me Natsume
Written by Sarah Patrick
The dawn cracked as the starry sky began to brighten. The sunlight crawled into a massive well-decorated room through the semi-transparent curtain. The walls that once pitch black due to the dimness of the dark night now washed with the lights revealed beige-yellow. On the queen-size silky tangerine bed, a petite seventeen year old girl slept peacefully. She shifted a bit and suddenly, she felt something heavy on her waist. Her eyes opened slightly out of curiosity and her hazel eyes darted opened at once. A sight of a sleeping boy beside her shocked her whole. Worst of all, his arms were around her waist.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Natsume Hyuuga startled as he sat up straight. He quickly slapped the girl's mouth shut at once with his hand.
"Thanks for the wake-up call, polka," he said sarcastically. Then it hit him to see her on the bed… and he looked around. His crimson eyes narrowed in befuddlement. "How did I get here?" he asked as he massaged his head which ached. Mikan bit his hand.
"OH! Don't think I will fall for that trick. You entered here you pervert!" snapped Mikan at once. Natsume clicked his tongue as he mumbled something. "What's that? I can't hear you, pervert!"
"I said, why should I sleep here when I have my own room, stupid," snapped Natsume. Mikan scoffed as she was offended by his remark.
"Idiot bastard!"
"Pig!"
"MORON!"
"Polka dots!"
"DEVIL!"
Just then, Natsume hesitated for a moment. Mikan thought it was her first victory after eleven years fighting with him… but how wrong she was… for Natsume flipped her nightgown and—
"Oh… it's strawberries," he chuckled and began to walk away as he left the petrified Mikan on the bed.
"YOU ARE A DAMN BLODDY PERVERT, YOU MORON!!" she shrieked as she sprang towards him. Mikan and Natsume fell on the red carpeted floor. Both of them began to pillow fighting. Hitting each other as much as they could as feathers began to fill up the room.
"OH YEAH?! GEEZ… thanks for your info, little girl," snapped Natsume sarcastically as he hit her with one of her pillow.
"YOU ENTERED HERE LAST NIGHT DIDN'T YOU?!" shrieked Mikan as she hit him back.
"YOU WERE THE ONE WHO DRAGGED ME HERE!" he shouted back. Mikan was stunned.
"What…?" she gasped in disbelief. "I did not call you here! Now… you are blaming me?" She pouted angrily. She could feel her anger rise every second.
"Tch… what a forgetful klutz," he sneered as he shook his head. Mikan hit him on the head with the pillow. "Hey! That hurt you know!" he glared at her.
"Now, spill it out! Why are you in my room?" she growled as she grabbed his pajamas collar. Natsume chuckled. The fact that she was doing like that when she was ten inches shorter than him doesn't bother Mikan at all.
"Oy… let go," he said emotionlessly.
"Answer me first!" snapped Mikan at once. A twisted smile wipe across Natsume handsome features.
"Are you really sure you want to know that answer?" asked Natsume darkly. "You better let me go, little girl, before you'll regret asking me that question," Mikan hesitated as she bit her lips. She then loosened her grip on his collar. "Tch… I prefer you demand me for the answer, strawberries… I would gladly tell you about it," Mikan shot him death glare.
"Knowing you, I bet it would be something pervert as usual," she muttered quietly. "Get out, Hyuuga!" shouted Mikan as she pointed him out of the room. Natsume lips thinned upon hearing her. He doesn't mind her calling him anything… anything but not his surname.
"No," answered Natsume shortly, feeling dejected.
"OUT, HYUUGA!" snapped Mikan again.
"NO!" began Natsume as he pushed her to her bed. "NOT UNTIL YOU LEARN TO CALL ME BY MY NAME, MIKAN!" he hissed angrily as he stared down at her. He walked towards the door and locked it with a key. "This door is locked and only I will have the key to this room. Until you've decided to call me by my name, I wouldn't open this door. For now… you are going to be locked in here with me," Mikan went petrified… but then she smirked.
"If so, you are going to get hungry too… no food to eat, no water to drink… you can't even read your stupid manga," tittered Mikan. Natsume chuckled.
"Tsk tsk… Strawberries… haven't you noticed that my room is connected to yours? We share the same bathroom. I can call for the maids to bring me breakfast, lunch and dinner to my room… but you…" he then chuckled and left towards the bathroom. She couldn't believe her bad luck. Firstly, she didn't realize that her room was even connected to Natsume's—'which is a bad thing for he is a major pervert.' Secondly, the door was lock and she was trapped in her own room. Thirdly, she can't call for Natsume's parents for help because they went to outstation for a week. Fourthly, Natsumi was invited to Koko's house for holiday and he would be back in a few days time. Lastly, the fact that by calling him by his name was the only solution to make him to unlock the door, it annoyed her to hell… Mikan bit her lips in irritation. Her hazel eyes narrowed angrily as she glared at Natsume who had opened the bathroom door wide open so that she could see him and vice versa.
"FINE!" yelled Mikan.
"Oh… that was really fast!" she heard Natsume voice said from the other room. Mikan scoffed.
"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT YOU IDIOT! WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN CALLING YOU BY YOUR STUPID NAME!"
Silence.
Mikan puffed her cheek angrily as she folded her arms. Her hazel eyes stared dully across the room.
"Oy!" called Natsume who appeared in front of the toilet door. Mikan didn't bother to look at him.
"What, Hyuuga?" she answered him curtly.
"It's Natsume,"
"Hyuuga,"
"Natsume,"
"Pervert,"
"Natsume,"
"Idiot,"
"Natsume,"
"Argh! Whatever, you moron… I don't want to call you with that stupid name," she snapped angrily. She took her towel and stormed towards the bathroom. "Get out. I want to take my bath," Natsume chuckled.
"Really? Go ahead then… I am not stopping you," he said as he gave her way through.
"You are still here, aren't you? Get out, pervert!" growled Mikan. Natsume smirked at her.
"But you are my fiancée. It's okay if I am here and watch you," Mikan jaw dropped upon hearing him.
"GET OUT OFF HERE YOU PERVERT!" she boomed into his ears. With all her might, she pushed him out of the toilet and into his room. Then, she slammed the bathroom door shut. Natsume swiveled and look at the bathroom door.
"I will make sure you'll fall in love with me, Mikan," he chuckled quietly and walked away.
Grumble. Grumble.
Grumble. Grumble.
"Aww…" whimpered Mikan sadly as she laid her hand on her empty stomach. Her eyes narrowed angrily as she sent a piercing glare at Natsume with the corner of her eyes. There, sat Natsume as he ate his… delicious, tasty, mouth-watering, yummy, succulent breakfast in the middle of her room to annoy her.
How tempting.
"Are you sure you don't want to eat, polka?" he sneered at her as he took a very noisy sip on his thirst-quenching, refreshing orange juice and finished it with a satisfying 'ah'.
Mikan found herself gulping out of hunger. The food was very tempting for her and she was very hungry indeed. The aroma of the food filled the air of her room entirely… even though she had opened her window, the smell wouldn't go off!
"N-No t-thank you," she said in difficulty; pretending not to be hungry as she folded her arms and looked away.
"Okay then… if you said so," he shrugged and took another bite on his appetizing chicken roll and munch on it noisily. The sound of the fresh salad crunching with the chicken was just too…
Mikan sighed quietly and she gulped again in hunger.
"Eat quietly, you moron!" she growled.
"I can't! It's too delicious," commented Natsume with a chuckle as he took another bite again. "Just cover your ears," he added and started munching again.
"Evil," muttered Mikan quietly as she bit her finger. She pouted as she stared out of the window. It fascinated her to know that the exterior of the mansion's garden were filled with Sakura Trees.
"Don't want to join me?" offered Natsume again for the umpteenth time.
"No," she answered him curtly.
"Just call me Natsume. It's easy," he said.
"…" Mikan hesitated. She was too hungry and she had to do it.
"Na—" began Mikan and she was shocked as Natsume feed her with a spoon of porridge into her opening mouth.
"That's enough for now… later on… I want to hear the 'tsu' and 'me' too…" he said. "Go and eat," he added as he ruffled her hair. Mikan stared at him in annoyance.
"I just combed my hair, you idiot!" she snapped angrily.
"Don't push your luck, little girl," he said dangerously.
Mikan smiled at him, then ran towards the table and began to eat as fast as she could. She was so hungry that she swore that she could even eat the plates. While Natsume, he stood in front of the window as he stared down at the garden. His heart was racing as he blushed to acknowledge that Mikan was about to call his name… and that smile on her pretty face was really breathtaking… He cast a small smile as his features began to gentle.
"One step at a time," he muttered quietly.
Mikan was lolling about on her amethyst couch. She has nothing to do. She was bored and she regretted for not bringing her laptop with her. So, she decided to go to Natsume's room to see what he was doing. To her annoyance, he has interesting things to do.
"What are you playing?" she asked as she approached him.
"Games," he said shortly as he clicked non-stop on his joystick. Mikan scoffed.
"I can see that. What are you playing?" asked Mikan again.
"Games," he answered her again. Mikan decided not to ask him anymore as she realized that she was disturbing his concentration. Mikan walked towards the large shelf at the side of his room. There are many manga there; from crime-scenes to fantasy. Mikan took out one which read: Ouran High School Host Club and began to read. After a while, Natsume realized that she was silent. He turned off his computer and decided to search for her. He entered her room but there was no Mikan there… until he heard a burst of laughter from his room, then he found her sitting against the wall beside his manga collection shelf reading one of his manga.
"Tsk… what are you reading, polka?" he asked her as he sat beside her. She was laughing non-stop.
"Tamaki was hilarious! He doesn't even know that the so-call 'commoner' was actually a girl!!" and she laughed again. Natsume gasped inwardly as he saw her laughing. She was really pretty. He glanced away to hid the blush that crept on his face.
"What a boring manga you're reading, Polka…" he muttered as he looked away. OHSHC was one of his favorites but to know that it was Mikan's too made him feel pleased inside.
"Tsk… what a joy killer you are, Natsume!" she snapped back and Natsume heart jumped for a moment upon hearing her calling him by his name.
"What did you call me?" he asked quietly.
"Natsume," she answered him dully as she continued read the manga; unaware by her action.
"What?"
"What's what?" she asked him.
"My name,"
"…" Mikan soon realized that she was calling him by his name. She blushed as she put the manga down. "Um… I think I should be in my room then," she muttered and began to walk away.
"Mikan," he called after her. Mikan blushed again as she still found it new to hear him calling her by her name. "The key," he muttered as he showed her the key. Mikan took the key only to get a pull by her hand from Natsume as he brought her closer to him. He gave a peck on her lips. "Thank you," he muttered again. Mikan quickly ran to her room as she closed the bathroom door shut; blushing furiously.
"Why am I like this?" she asked herself as she felt her heart racing. Thinking of Natsume and the light kiss made her head spinning and heart throbbed madly. She jumped on her bed as she tried her best to stay calm. She touched her lips as that was the first time it felt meaningful to her. A reason she wasn't sure of…
"Natsume… what are you doing to me?"
TBC!
Natsume is OOC, yeah I know. But sometimes, it's nice to see him OOC once a while, don't you think?
About the OHSHC, hehe… I love TamakixHaruhi and I love that anime/manga so much! I just can't help putting it here!
Anyways, I hope you've enjoyed reading that! Thanks to those who reviewed!
Now, review!
