Chapter 13
"Here you go…" Sasuke said, holding the keys out.
"Oooo…now I can decorate my own room!" Natsume exclaimed.
"I'm staying beside you so if you need help, you know where to find me"
"Okay…sure thing…"
Upon hearing those words, Sasuke turned around, facing his back to Natsume.
"YOSH!" Sasuke thought inwardly, smirking to himself.
Whilst in Natsume's thought…
Thank goodness he asked me at this time of the year…at any other time, I might not have accepted his offer…
End of Natsume's thought…
"NATSUME!" Sasuke screamed.
"What!"
"I was asking you something that's what…"
"And what's that?"
"I was asking if you've packed…"
"Oh…about that…" Natsume said, revealing her tongue.
"I knew it…" Sasuke said, smacking his face.
"Gomen…please wait awhile for me…"
"Okie dokie"
Natsume ran up the stairs and went into her room. Sasuke sat on the sofa and waited and waited and waited and waited until he dozed off.
An hour after Natsume entered the room…
"Wake up…WAKE UP!" Natsume shrieked in Sasuke's ear.
Sasuke jolted up looked around then glared at Natsume.
"What's wrong with you…I waited till I dozed off!"
"I had to pack a lot of things and had to think a long time debating with myself so don't you dare lecture me now…"
"Can't you just slipshod pack up and get it over with!"
"Loosen up a little…"
"Hmph…you used to do stuff quickly and not waste time…you should be like that…"
"For your information…I'M NOW A GIRL NOW OKAY…SO STOP YOUR JABBERING AND GO FETCH THE CAR!"
"Woooow…simmer down gal…"
Sasuke walked out and pressed the button to unlock his car. He then walked forward and opened the door for Natsume before going to the driver's seat.
"That's more like it…GIRL POWER!" Natsume said, showing the 'v' sign.
"Whatever okay…" Sasuke said, rolling his eyes.
Natsume rebutted back by sticking her tongue out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Here we are…the rooms…" Sasuke said.
Natsume stepped up, slotted the key in and turned it.
"It's so spacious…guess this is what they call love at first sight!" Natsume squeaked.
Sasuke took the luggage in, and left it on the bed.
"I'll be off then…remember…if you need help…"
"Look for you…yea…got that…" Natsume said, completing Sasuke's sentence.
"Just be sure to wake up on time, tomorrow…"
"There's no rush…I'm just living beside the school!"
"Hahah…anyways…jaa"
"Jaa-ne!" Natsume squeaked.
Natsume turned back and started unloading the luggage.
The next day…
The alarm clock and Sasuke woke up and did the usual morning routine. After getting ready for school, he decided to go over to Natsume's room. He took out a key and opened the door (he duplicated the key alright…geez…). He stepped in, only to find Natsume sleeping on the bed in a weird fashion. Her legs were sprawled wide and her body was arched. He could not help but giggle at the scene.
"Wake up sleepy-head…"
"……"
"Wake up now…you don't want to be late for school!"
Still getting no response, Sasuke decided that this requires desperate measures…so he went into the bathroom, made his hand wet, crept up to Natsume and sprinkled water on her face.
"Ergh…let me sleep…" Natsume hissed.
Sasuke continued on.
"I'm warning you…wait a second…" Natsume said, fully awoken.
"Come on…you're going to be late for school…"
"Hold on…how did you GET INTO MY ROOM IN THE FIRST PLACE…"
"Heheh…" Sasuke cringed, scratching his head.
"GO TO HELL PERVERT!" Natsume said, taking a pillow and started whacking Sasuke's head.
"Stop it…ow" Sasuke said.
"This is your desert…DIE!"
"If you still don't wash up, you're going to be seriously late you know…"
"Oh crap…you're right…get out of the room now!" Natsume commanded.
Sasuke ran out of the room, leaving Natsume in the room.
After a few fleeting minutes, Natsume opened the door and saw Sasuke waiting outside for her.
"Why are you still here?"
"…"
"But won't you be late for school?"
"Doesn't matter now, does it…"
"Oh yea…the fake couple thing right…okay okay…I get the picture…"
"Yah…that's it…"
But hey…guess what Sasuke's thinking of…
"Curses…can't you tell that I like you and that I REALLY want to be a couple with you…why…why must I like a person who's so dense! Kami, tell me why!"
"What are you thinking of?" Natsume asked.
"Nothing…nothing at all…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two days after moving in…
Sasuke kept looking at Natsume the whole day. He realized that Natsume did not chatter at all, that had definitely worried him.
"What happen…why is she so glum? What's with that dazed look on her face…what is she thinking of…I'd better ask her myself…" Sasuke thought to himself.
"Natsume…why are you so gloomy?"
Natsume continued walking, she did not hear what he had said.
"NATSUME! Please tell me what happened…please…let me help you…"
"Huh? Oh…okay…but you must promise not to divulge this to anyone…is that a deal?" Natsume said, raising her 'pinky'.
"Deal…but do you have to be so childish?"
"Hmph…is a deal or not?"
"Yea…it's a deal…" Sasuke said, attaching his last finger with hers.
"Good…first we got to go to a quieter place to talk about this…"
"How about my place?"
"Alright…your place it is then…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yea…so what is it that happened? Spill it!" Sasuke asked, piqued.
"Okay…slow down pal…"
"Yea…what is it…just say it…"
"You see…every year, I will try to find a way to go away from my parents…"
"Why…why would you do that?" Sasuke asked, jumping up and down like a curious toddler wanting an answer, at the same time, cutting in Natsume's sentence.
"Relax…and please don't cut in…I HATE THAT…as I was saying…I run away as that day is the anniversary of my elder brother…"
"NANI! YOU HAVE A BROTHER! WHEN WAS THAT…HOW…OH MY GOD…THIS IS ALL TOO MUCH TO TAKE AT ONCE…" Sasuke yelled.
"ONE MORE TIME YOU INTERRUPT AND YOU'LL GET A TREATMENT WORSE THAN THIS…" Natsume said, knocking Sasuke on the head with a hammer (it came out from nowhere if you really want to know).
"Gomen…just really alarmed…"
"Also…to tell you the truth…I am actually an orphan…" Natsume said, sobbing.
"Okay…okay…it's alright…cry your heart out…here…" Sasuke said, tapping on his shoulder, telling her to lean on it.
Natsume started bawling all over Sasuke's shoulder, all Sasuke could do was to give her a pat on her back.
"I bought sake…care to drink with me?" Natsume said.
"Sure…"
Both walked over to Natsume's room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"One more cup please…" Natsume said, drunk.
"No more…"
"Last cup…come on…don't be a spoil blanket…"
"Alright…but this is the last okay…"
"Yea…hahah…" Natsume said, giggling.
"How can anyone get drunk on sake…what's more, she only had four cups…" Sasuke thought.
"Okay Natsume…I have to leave now…good night…"
"Don't leave Keiro…please don't leave brother…please don't leave me again…" Natsume said, crying.
"Okay okay…I'll stay…" Sasuke said.
"So her brother's name is Keiro…" Sasuke thought to himself.
"I feel so drowsy…" Natsume said, walking unsteadily to the bed.
Then Natsume tripped but luckily Sasuke rushed there in time to help her.
"Thanks Keiro…"
"I'm not Keiro…I'm Sasuke…"
"Don't lie…you're Keiro…why must you lie…you want to distance away from me?" Natsume said, showing traces before crying.
"Yea…I'm Keiro alright…" Sasuke said, frustrated.
Sasuke then helped her to the bed (no thinky evil please), and left the bed.
"I want Keiro to sleep with me…please…" Natsume urged, she was on the brink of crying.
"Oh well…" Sasuke took reluctant steps over but in fact, he was very happy inside. Then an angel and devil appeared each on one side of Sasuke's shoulder.
"You know you want to do her in…so go there and show her what you are made of…" The devil side said.
"She needs your help…don't strike while she's down…THAT'S a real man…" The angel said.
"Both of you SCREW OFF…I know what to do…" Sasuke said to both of them.
Both sides poofed away. Sasuke then took a place beside Natsume and lied down. Natsume turned to Sasuke's side and hugged Sasuke.
"Don't ever leave me brother…"
"Geez…why must I be in such a situation…" Sasuke thought.
And from there, he remained sleeping in that position till the next day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Natsume woke up next to Sasuke, she rubbed her eyes and looked at who was beside her.
"HENTAIIIIII! DARN YOU…ME BEING A GIRL NOW DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME!" Natsume shouted, bashing Sasuke till the very inch of his life.
"OW…OUCH…STOP IT…STOP WHACKING ME…NOW!" Sasuke shouted back, grabbing Natsume's hands before she hurls another punch.
"Listen to me…you were drunk yesterday and you mistook me for your dead brother so you said that you wanted me to accompany you and sleep with you so I…"
"COULDN'T YOU GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM AND NOT LISTEN TO ME YOU EVIL PERVERT!" Natsume screeched.
"(sigh)I'm your friend…how could I leave you when you needed me the most…also, look at yourself, your clothes are still on…" Sasuke said, exasperated.
"Well…looks like I misunderstood…arigatou Sasuke-kun!" Natsume said, hugging him.
"Hahah…glad you understand…" Sasuke said, displaying smile that could cover the sun.
