Kiss of Fate
By: Esa MaRie
Chapter 6
Mikan stooding facing Natsume's door. She had kept her mind fixed on entering the door, but her legs felt wobbly. 'Damn! I am the one who should be angry at what he did! He foiled my plans! But why is it that I'm the one who's seems guilty at trying to get Akira-kun to confess to me? Wait! What guilty? It's not as if he's my boyfriend or something. I even hate the guy!' She raised her hand to knock at the door when she noticed that the door had gotten soft. 'Huh?' She raised her head and...
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!"
"Are you just going to stand there like an idiot?"
"N-natsume?", Mikan stammered. "H-how long has the door been opened?"
"Like a minute ago.", Natsume said as he looked into his watch. "You didn't even notice when I opened it. Baka."
"Hmmph!", Mikan snubbed him and went inside the room.
"Hey, Polkadots…", Natsume started but Mikan raised her hand to him without looking at him.
"Talk to the hand, pervert.", Mikan said coldly. "I'm just here to finish the project. Other than that, I'm not talking to you." Then she went straight to the mini library, grabbed a chair and settled herself.
'What the hell?', Natsume thought. 'Was she that disappointed that I showed up between her trysts with Souma?'
They continued to work on their project in silence, only talking when needed.
Two hours later…
"Okay, it's finished. I'm going back to my room now.", Mikan said as she stood up and packed her things up.
"Hey, polkadots.", Natsume called as he slumped into the table leaning his cheek against his knuckles.
"My name is not polkadots, you damn pervert!", Mikan snapped back.
"Whatever.", Natsume replied. "What's your problem?"
"As if you care.", Mikan replied back.
"Tsk. Are you still angry at what happened this afternoon?", Natsume asked. "Was the lunch with that Souma guy that important?"
"It's none of your business.", Mikan snapped.
"It's my business when you've been directing your anger to me because of that incident.", Natsume said.
"…"
Natsume stared at the girl, her silence becoming unnerving. "What's the real score with Souma, little girl?", he asked. 'I want to know the truth!' "Or were you expecting that he will confess to an idiot like you?"
At that, Mikan's anger flared up. "SHUT UP PERVERT!", she burst out. "You don't understand anything! So what if an idiot like me wants someone like Akira-kun to be my boyfriend?! Don't I have that right?! You don't understand it 'coz girls just flung themselves over you! So what if I want Akira-kun to be my first kiss?! At least it's not some stupid pervert like…" Mikan clamped her hands to her mouth. 'What the hell was I saying?"
Natsume stood up and approached her. Mikan backed away until she felt her back touched the wall.
"N-natsume…"
Natsume's bangs were covering his eyes, therefore Mikan could not see his expression.
"So it was so insignificant for you after all."
Mikan felt herself tremble. Natsume said those words so quietly but she felt his anger. 'What does he mean by insignificant? What is he referring to?', Mikan wondered.
Mikan raised her hand to comfort him, feeling guilty on the hurtful words that she blurted out to him, but Natsume caught her hand.
Natsume lifted his eyes and caught her gaze. "So you want a memorable first kiss, eh?", he said darkly at which Mikan's eyes widened. "Since you seem to have forgotten it, let me refresh your memory."
Before Mikan could react, Natsume crushed his mouth over hers, absorbing whatever words of protest that Mikan may have.
Mikan tried to struggle, pushing him off with her free hand but Natsume didn't seem to mind her weak punches. Instead, he snaked his other hand around her waist slamming her body closer to his. Natsume deepened the kiss urging her to respond to him. Mikan felt her defense weakening against Natsume and found herself surrendering completely to the kiss.
(ho! ho! ho! I love Natsume and Mikan kissing scenes! Hehehe!)
Natsume lifted his lips from hers, but continued to hold her in his embrace. Mikan opened her eyes and blushed deep crimson as she realized what had transpired. Her hands that were previously on Natsume's chest and were trying to push him away, were now snaked around his neck. Damn! But he was a really good kisser!
Natsume continued to trail kisses to her cheek, then when his mouth reached her earlobe, he whispered, "So little girl, how's that for a memorable first kiss?"
Mikan was stunned. She felt her world stop. What does that mean? Is Natsume trying to prove something to her when he kissed her?
Mikan pushed him but Natsume's embrace was tight.
"Mikan…?"
"I hate you!", Mikan cried at him. 'He's so unfair! He calls me by my name when I really want to hate him and curse him to hell.'
"No, you don't.", Natsume whispered back
They stayed in that position a little longer, with Mikan's face buried against Natsume's chest and his arms around her waist.
Next morning…
"Hey, isn't that Aizawa-sempai?", Kaede whispered to Nonoko.
"Where?", Nonoko glanced around and saw a pretty blond near the pillar as if waiting for someone.
"Wow! She's really pretty. Isn't it that she was Natsume's girlfriend before?", Anna asked.
"Hmmm… oh yeah! That was way back when we were freshmen in middle school and Aizawa-sempai was still a senior in middle school. I think they became a couple for several years, right?", Akari said. "Natsume was so matured. He even dated girls older than him back then."
"So, if Aizawa-sempai was Natsume's first girlfriend, it means she's also Natsume's first kiss.", Kaede thought out loud.
The other girls sighed and giggled. "Lucky for her…"
"That slut! She came back to seduce my Natsume!", Sumire gritted out.
The other girls just sweatdropped.
"Hi Natsume!"
Natsume turned his head at the pretty blond girl.
"Oh, it's you… blondie."
Karin Aizawa gave a little smile. They had an on and off relationship for several years but Natsume never once said her name. It was always blondie, or big girl, or worst… just plain 'you'. But Karin was so in love with him that she considered every word as an endearment.
"So, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in college now, right.", Natsume asked in a dry voice.
"I just want to see my boyfriend again.", Karin said.
"Tsk. I'm not your boyfriend.", Natsume replied coldly.
"Yes, you are! I never broke up with you!", Karin persisted.
'Damn!', Natsume thought. She's one girl who won't accept the word 'rejected'. Karin Aizawa became his first 'girlfriend' when he was in middle school. She was the one who courted him. She followed him just everywhere, giving him gifts, just kept on pestering him. Before he knew it, everyone just assumed that she was his girlfriend. And the idiot girl was so proud of that. And since he's the type who doesn't give attention to such silly rumors, everyone considered his silence as assent to the rumor. He can't just stand her possessiveness that he would ask other girls to be his girlfriend and that was the cause of his playboy image.
Natsume saw at the corner of his eyes that his classmates were curiously looking at them. He grabbed Karin's arm and pulled her towards the back of the building.
"Say what you want and leave.", Natsume snapped at Karin.
Karin just smiled. "What I want to say, eh?"
Before Natsume could react, Karin had flung herself to him pressing her lips to his.
"Oh God! I'm late again!", Mikan muttered as she ran towards the high school building. 'Damn that Natsume! He kept me awake all night remembering that kiss.', Mikan blushed at the thought. After staying in his embrace for quite some time, Natsume kissed her forehead and told her to go back her dormitory to rest. His actions just kept her getting confused again and again, especially his last words.
'You may have never considered your first kiss as memorable but for me… it was.'
Mikan shook her head. 'Stop thinking about that! You still have class and you're already late!' As she neared the building, she saw a tall raven haired guy pulling a pretty and sexy blond towards the back of the building.
'Natsume?'
'What's he doing? And who's with him?' Forgetting the time, she followed their trail. When she rounded the corner, she suddenly stopped.
Natsume was standing just several feet away… with the pretty blond in his arms, their lips locked in a kiss…
