MY FOE IS MY FIANCÉ?!
Chapter 9 Natsumi's Crime Part 2
Written by Sarah Patrick
Natsumi Hyuuga cerise eyes widened in excitement. A smirk played on his lips. He just couldn't believe his eyes. If she would finish every single drop of the tea, she would be his. Yes. He was confident with it.
Drink it Mikan. Drink it.
Mikan laid her red lips on to the mouth of the elegant green Gennori teacup. Natsumi licked his lips as he couldn't believe his good luck. There was drug in her drink as well as Natsume's. The drug that was put in her drink was to make her half-conscious and… well, just a 'love' powder (idea given by MlleShadow) for short. Natsume's cup was drugged with sleeping powder.
Once the drug took effect on you, my job would be easier. Even Natsume couldn't do anything about it.
Mikan was about to held her cup higher as she wanted to filled her mouth with those sweet fragrance tea when—
Mikan gasped. Natsume had snatched the cup from her hands and drank it half. Natsumi gawked in horror.
"You don't deserve to drink my brother's precious tea, Polka," he chuckled quietly as he shook his hand in circle to stir the drink and stared down at the cup. "What's my favorite shouldn't be yours too," he smirked at her darkly. Mikan pouted angrily and she grunted. Natsumi was panged with guilt.
'My brother cared for me but I'm doing this to him?' thought Natsumi at once. He couldn't believe on what he was doing. It felt as though he just woken up from a horrible dream, an impossible dream to owned Mikan for himself, truly impossible. Natsumi took Natsume's untouched tea and walked away. 'Why did I ever think of doing this to Mikan?'
He couldn't follow the plan. He felt like a true villain already. He should be happy for his brother at least. Though he do think that Mikan would be better off with him, but…
Natsumi clutched his fist hard as frustration engulfed him whole and he ran.
Natsumi disappeared into the house and locked himself in his room. He almost made a crime. A bad crime. Natsumi doesn't know if he could even forgive himself for doing this sin. He betrayed the two Masters. Natsume and Mikan were masters for both Clan and Alice, but he was just… no one. Natsumi slowly fell on his knees and began to cry.
Everything wasn't fair for him. He wished that he wasn't related to Natsume at all. Being his twin was difficult. Being known as 'The Master's Twin' instead ofhis own name was the greatest humiliation ever. He could even bet that none of the Hyuuga family members would even know that his name was Natsumi.
He was cast aside. Natsume was their idol who greatly represented the vicious first ancestors who carried the crimson eyes curse. He was their pride. Having an ice Alice instead of Fire, unlike their vicious Hyuuga ancestor, was a shame for the Hyuuga master a.k.a idol master.
Why can't I be the Element Alice Master instead? Natsumi thought. He felt it was greedy of Natsume to own two Master positions: A Hyuuga Clan Master and Element Alice Master.
"Come to think of it," began Natsumi as tears ran down his cheek. "The caretaker of Alice flames was the one who chooses the masters… tsk," he punched the floor with all his might in frustration. His fist tore. Blood started to ooze out.
As Natsumi was crying, little that he realized that the blood that ooze from his fist began to take shape. His tearful cerise eyes narrowed in curiosity as the shape began to form something familiar. Bright light began to shine its brightest from the shape; blinding Natsumi completely. He whimpered as he covered his eyes and soon the lights dimmed again. He saw a soft glow was emitted above the little pool of blood.
"What the hell?" he gasped as he couldn't believe his very eyes. The discovery was beyond words to describe it.
"Whoa,"
Meanwhile, back at the garden, Mikan was angry with Natsume for taking her drink. Mikan grunted displeasingly and pouted angrily.
"THAT'S MINE, NATSUME!" shrieked Mikan and she tried to snatch the teacup from him. "GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!" Natsume chuckled as he held the cup higher and stared at Mikan who was struggling to get the teacup from him. A smirk cast on his handsome face.
"Tsk tsk… little girl—" Natsume stopped abruptly. He felt weird sensation was churning inside him and he began to shiver a little. He started to see everything in two. Scary silence sang eerily in his ears once a while. He felt his head spinning a little and—
"NATSUME! GIVE IT BACK! IT'S MINE!" screamed Mikan. Natsume eyes darted to look at her with a blank expression. Everything seemed to be in slow motion to him. Even to look at Mikan jumping as she was trying to reach for her teacup… he doesn't know why but she seemed to look more attractive… He felt her chest brushed against his and he blushed furiously as he felt a sudden rush in his blood. Heat crept on his face. His heart was beating faster and,
He. Had. The. Urge. To. Grab. Her.
Natsume tried to reach for her but he stopped.
'No!' his conscience screamed in his mind.
Just then, something beneath his shirt glowed brightly and dimmed again. Natsume and Mikan startled when they saw the light. Natsume took out the necklace which bore two pendants. One pendant was blood red emerald stone which represented Hyuuga Master and another which is even deeper maroon with fire shaped stone represented Element Alice Master.
"Which one did you think that glowed Natsume?" asked Mikan curiously. "It's impossible for the Alice stone to glow at this time. It can't be the Alice Master reunion already. You are the only one who hasn't turned seventeen yet. I wonder what's wrong," she wondered out loud as she gave a tap on both of Natsume's pendant. Natsume startled again as he felt her soft fingers slipped from the stones and touched his chest.
"T-T-Take i-it b-b-back. S-S-Stay a-a-way f-from m-me," stammered Natsume in great difficulty as he trust her cup back into her hands and ran away towards the mansion. Mikan was stunned. Her eyes were fixed on Natsume. He had been acting very weirdly since that morning.
"That is the second time he told me to stay away from him. What's wrong with you, Natsume?" wondered Mikan quietly. Worrisome slapped on her chest. As his fiancée, she felt she wasn't concerned enough about his situation. Also, he was being secretive, would just make things worst and she felt hurt about it.
NATSUME'S POV
What is wrong with me?
I ran as fast as I could. I don't know what had happened back there when I was with Mikan. It seemed something had trigger that feelings that I felt this morning again even more. I knew at once that I was getting more dangerous to Mikan!
Very dangerous.
I tried to think of anything that could make me in this terrible state, but I can't think of anything but …Mikan, Mikan and more Mikan.
I'm scared.
I locked myself in my room. Just then, I realized that I was breathing hysterically as I leaned against the door. I was shaking madly.
Why am I shivering?!
I gulped in difficulty. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. That could explain my shivering. Mikan was really an aggressive—
Oh my goodness.
I should really forget about her now. I jumped on my bed; lying down with my face buried in the bed. I closed my eyes; hoping that I could cool myself down. But at the very moment I shut my eyes, I saw Mikan flashed in my mind… and I darted my eyes open again. Thinking of Mikan now definitely would not help me to calm down. As the time ticked, my body began to ache even more.
Tch. What is wrong with me?!
NORMAL POV
Natsume held his head up a little and stared at the clock which read 6:45 PM. He sighed deeply and buried his face into his pillow.
"Help me god wherever you are," he groaned desperately. He stirred uncomfortably on his bed. He turned to his right and he felt uneasily. Then he shifted to his left and he still felt uneasy. He took off his shirt and lay at one corner of the bed with his head hung out of the bed. He stared at the clock which read 7:06 PM and his condition became bad to worst. He was shaking frantically and the uncomfortable sensation was very disturbing. He sighed deeply and covered his eyes with his arm. "Why?!" he whimpered quietly.
"Natsume?" Natsume startled and took off his arm from his eyes. He saw Mikan was bending down as she stared at him worriedly with her hands on her knees. He was staring at her upside down. "Natsume?" called Mikan again.
"H-H-How d-did you g-get here?" stammered Natsume as he sank deeper into his bed. 'Control yourself. Control yourself. Control yourself.'
Mikan giggled.
"Our room's connected silly," replied Mikan with a smile. Natsume felt heat crept on his face even more. 'God save me!' thought Natsume hysterically.
"Get out!" screamed Natsume at once. "OUT! OUT! OUT!!" Mikan was scared to see him screaming like that. She began to cry.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" she screamed at him. Natsume didn't look at her. He didn't want to answer her. Mikan bit her lips in frustration.
He's keeping his problem a secret.
She felt hurt. Her heart ached painfully.
"Why aren't you telling me what's wrong with you, Natsume?" asked Mikan bitterly. Natsume remained silent.
"Natsume," called Mikan again. She stared at him in disbelief. Tears ran down her cheek. 'If he didn't say anything… we're over,' "NATSUME!"
"IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! GET OUT! WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER ABOUT ME ANYWAY?!" yelled Natsume at once. Mikan gasped. Her heart was crushed into pieces. She was crestfallen. Silence was filling in the air. The coldness. The distance. Natsume could feel it all.
"Because, I love you," she muttered and slammed the bathroom door in front of him. He was stunned. His crimson eyes widened in disbelief as his lips parted slightly.
"…" Natsume was speechless.
Mikan couldn't believe that she had said that to Natsume. She jumped on her bed and began to cry. Mikan wasn't sure herself when did she had fallen in love with her foe. But all she knew was that she just aware about her feelings, when Natsume started to ignored her for the whole day.
She felt so lonely for not hearing him teasing her, or pushing her about or hearing his annoying remarks, or not be able to hear his voice, or having him bugging her twenty four slash seven… she felt so lonely and abandoned.
She heard the bathroom door clicked open.
"Go away," she grunted quietly, knowing that it was Natsume. She buried her head deeper into her dampened pillow. She doesn't want to see him.
"Sorry," she heard him say. Mikan turned to look at him.
"What for?" she asked him as she wiped the tears in her eyes.
"Hurting you like that," he muttered. "I love you too," he admitted. A smile began to form on girl's face. But it didn't stay long though. She was shocked that Natsume suddenly crashed on top of her and began to kiss her.
Natsume's conscience lost the battle. Mikan kissed him back; unaware that it wasn't just a kiss she would have from him that night.
"I'll be gentle on you, Mikan," he whispered into her ears and sent butterfly kisses on her neck. That kiss was just the beginning of everything. "You're beautiful…" he muttered as he nibbled the sensitive part of her ear lobe, causing her to moan in pleasure.
Not long, her gown was thrown to the floor. So much for his 'one-step-at-the-time' theory, he can't wait longer the state he was in now.
Intoxicated by her scent, he then breathed out in pleasure, moaning, "Mikan…"
