BANG!
CHAPTER 5 (central town)
It was early in the morning in Alice Academy and everyone was sleeping. Once they heard a noise, everyone woke up and they saw Ruka and Hotaru going inside a room.
"Hey! My door!" Natsume shouted. He was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling while the brunette was trying to get some sleep. The boy beside him just kept tugging on her pigtails, making the poor girl wake up and not get some good sleep.
"Mikan," Hotaru simply called. She snapped her fingers as if she want something done fast and she did. Mikan sighed and sat up from her laying position and simply levitated the broken door and fixed it.
Ruka was amazed and Natsume just had his usual expressionless face on but he was staring at his partner.
"Whoa," Ruka said in awe. "How did you do that!?"
Hotaru stared at Ruka as if he was the dumbest person on Earth aside from her best friend, Mikan. "Do you remember that Mikan has the Copying Alice? "She asked. Ruka just nodded in reply. Hotaru let out a little sighed and continued, "Well she copied the Levitation Alice from a boy in the High School Division".
"Why are you here?" Natsume asked. He felt very irritated that his best friend and the famous blackmailer can just bust into his room as if they can do what they want.
Ruka faced his best friend and said, "We are here because we need to discuss something with you and we had an agreement that we will go to central town today"
Mikan heard this loud and clear and she was practically ALMOST jumping up and down Natsume's bed. "OH YEAH!!! Yay!!! Central Town!!!" Mikan said excitedly.
"Don't get so kiddy baka" Hotaru said. She took out her Baka gun and aimed it at her best friend.
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"HOTARU!" Mikan wailed and rubbed her bump that formed on top of her head. Natsume just smirked and pulled on her pigtails, making the pain even more hurtful to Mikan.
Grumble Grumble Grumble
"What was that??" Aoi asked. Both Youichi and Aoi came into Natsume's room just in time to hear a grumbling sound. They turned towards Mikan, who was still wailing but had one of her hand covering her stomach.
"Hn," Youichi said in a very Natsume-ish way. "Onee-chan is hungry, duh."
'Hmm… is it possible that Youichi is actually Natsume's brother and Aoi is actually Mikan's sister?' Ruka thought. 'It could be possible… their parents could have switched babies and—'Ruka was thinking until Mikan interrupted his thoughts.
"Don't even think about it Ruka, it's not possible," she replied and stretched her arms, which also included Natsume's hand since they were glued together. Ruka was shocked and just stared at Mikan as if she wasn't a human being. Mikan saw his reaction and said, "From Koko-kun,"
"Ahhh…." was the only thing Ruka can say. He sweat dropped at the thought of Mikan invading his privacy from his thoughts. He shook his head; Sakura would NEVER invade someone's privacy, right? Right. WRONG.
"Let's eat," Hotaru said while everyone except Mikan and Natsume sat down on the dining table. They probably hear their own stomach grumbling and they wanted to go to Central Town already, except for Natsume who just scoffed.
"Who's going to cook the food?" Natsume grumbled. "And who is gonna clean up later?"
"It's ok Natsume!" Mikan beamed. "I'll use my Alice!" Mikan said as she snapped her fingers. Suddenly, variety of food appeared in the table which even included Hotaru's favorite, crabs. Hotaru's eyes twinkled for 2 seconds until she grabbed the plate of crabs and started gobbling in them. The whole group just sweat dropped at Hotaru's hunger.
"Why didn't you do that last night?!" Natsume yelled and slightly hit Mikan in the head. Mikan pouted and rubbed her sore head. She didn't like the idea of being pounded on the head, especially by Natsume Hyuuga himself.
"Uhhh… hehe… I just thought of it now?" Mikan explained as a huge sweat drop appeared in Aoi and Ruka's head.
"BAKA!" Natsume shouted while he almost burnt her. Mikan sighed in relief that she had the Nullification Alice or else she would be burnt toast, literally.
Natsume and Mikan sat down (obviously together cause their hands are stuck) on the chairs beside Hotaru and began eating. Mikan and Natsume were glad they can just eat with a spoon or fork instead of using both of them since one of their hands were occupied by each other.
"What did you guys want to discuss with Hotaru?" Mikan asked while taking a bite of her sushi.
"We'll talk about it later over tea…" Hotaru mumbled and stuffed her face with crab sticks. "Baka, more crab sticks,"
"Hai!" Mikan said while she made more crab sticks. She knows how Hotaru can get VERY scary if she doesn't get what she wanted. It's the same for her with Howalons. All of them continued eating until their stomachs were full.
CENTRAL TOWN
"Hey onee-chan!!" Aoi exclaimed excitedly. "There's a man that will paint our picture!!!" After they were done eating, they quickly rushed over the bus stop towards Central Town. Currently, they were strolling around Central Town.
"What?! Really?!" Mikan said excitedly. "Sugoi!!"
"Hey gu-"Aoi started to call for Hotaru and Ruka but they were not there anymore. Aoi blinked and turn towards her big brother.
"Hey Natsume, where's Hotaru and Ruka?" Mikan asked.
"They went to the tea shop," Natsume replied.
"WHAT?!" Mikan yelled. "How could you let them leave without the painting??" Mikan sobbed waterfalls chibi style.
"Tch…" Natsume scoffed. "I didn't, they just said it then left,"
"Onee-chan," cooed Youichi. He wanted his sister from causing a flood. "Let's just do it without them,"
"O…o…ok" Mikan sniffled.
"Ok everyone! Onee-chan and onii-chan in the back while Youichi and I stay in the front!" Aoi said excitedly.
"Don't get too giddy baka," Youichi said. Aoi just stuck out her tongue.
Mikan was holding Youichi's shoulder with her right hand and Natsume was holding Aoi's shoulder in his left hand. (Awww so sweet! Just like a family!!)
"Ok! Hold on for 1 minuet!" the painter said as he activated his Alice and he started to paint. After exactly one minute, the painting was done!
"SUGOI!" Aoi exclaimed. "That was so fast! The painting is even dry!"
"That would be 250 rabbits," the painter said.
"Please pay Natsume!" Mikan said while doing the puppy dog eyes with Aoi so Natsume had to agree.
"Tch…why was I even forced to do this?" Natsume grumbled as he paid the painter.
"Cause okaa-san told you to take care of me and taking care of me means this onii-chan!" Aoi said.
"Hn…"
"Ok… Youichi and Aoi, you go play and do whatever you want to do." Mikan said. "Natsume and I will go to the tea shop and discuss something with Ruka and Hotaru, Hai?"
"Hai!" the kids said.
Teashop
"What do you wanna discuss about Hotaru?" Mikan said.
"People know," Hotaru simply said.
"About?" Natsume decided to speak up.
"Our engagement," Ruka answered.
"WHAT?!" Mikan shouted and everyone in the teashop looked.
"Calm down," Hotaru said.
"Ok, how did it start?" Mikan asked.
"We don't know." Ruka replied. We just heard it from one of the passing girls,"
"Hmm… we have to find out who started it," Hotaru said while everyone but Natsume nodded.
"Hey Natsume!! Why are you so silent?" Mikan asked.
"…"
"Natsume!!!"
"…"
"Natsu-"Mikan was caught off by her hair getting burned.
"Waaaah!!!!!" Mikan was running around trying to stop the fire which made Natsume being dragged by her because of their hands.
"Your too loud baka!" Natsume said not removing his Alice.
"Oi baka, turn it off by your Nullification Alice" Hotaru said. Mikan stopped running around.
"Oh yeah!" Mikan said as she snapped her fingers.
"What did you do that for, huh Natsume??!" Mikan said getting pissed.
"Your too loud baka!" Natsume said.
"Hmph!" was all Mikan could reply.
"Hey guys I'll pay for the check and lets go, ok?" Ruka offered and the others nodded.
"Isn't that Anna and the others?" Mikan pointed out.
"Hey Anna-chan! Nonoko-chan! Permy! Iinchou! Koko-kun! Kitsuneme-kun! (The flying boy that's always with Koko, known as his brother)" Mikan said all there names.
"How many times do I have to tell my name is Sumire!?" Sumire yelled. "But hey guys!" She was a little closer to Ruka and Natsume because she IS the president of the Natsume and Ruka fan club.
"Hey!! Do you wanna go shopping with us??" Nonoko and Anna said together.
"SURE!" Mikan said while the others were silent.
"So where do you wanna start??" Koko asked
"Hmm… let's go to mango! They have nice clothes there!" Sumire exclaimed.
"YEAH!! But it's so expensive there!" Anna said.
"Its ok…I think I can cover some for you!" Mikan offered.
"Ok! Let's go!" Everyone said except for Hotaru and Natsume. Ruka just sweat dropped at them.
Mango
"Hey look at this Natsume!!" Mikan yelled.
It was an Itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polka dot bikini!!!
"DAAAAMMMNNNNNN, she's so HOT!" a random guy said.
"Yeeaaahhh! I wish I had that!" another guy said.
"Hey sexy ladeehhh!" a guy tried to flirt with Mikan until a big fire circled Mikan.
"Back off," Natsume growled. Jealous eh?
"And who are yo-" the guy started to say and turned to face him. "Hy…hyuu…Hyuuga-sama…I'm so sorry," the guy bowed low to the ground and ran away.
"Tch" Natsume spat.
"Hey Natsume! Why did you do that to the poor boy??" Mikan said
"Didn't you see baka? He was flirting with you" Natsume said
"What's flirting?" Mikan asked.
"Baka," Natsume sighed. "How did you change when our hands are stuck together?"
"Oh! I just snapped my fingers and my clothes changed!" Mikan said.
"Hn… well put your clothes back on," Natsume said coldly.
"Why?" Mikan asked
"Cause your causing attention little girl" Natsume replied.
"OK!" Mikan said as she snapped her fingers and had her clothes back on.
"Come on Natsume! I wanna buy this!" Mikan said while practically dragging Natsume.
Natsume's POV
God! If she's going to wear that again, she is going to cause more attention! Wait! Why do I even care anyways??
Cause you like her
WHAT?! Who was that??
It's me dumdum… your conscience
Tch… conscience my ass
Really!
Why should I believe you??
Cause I'm your conscience
And then?
And then what??
Nothing
Um…
Tch! You're wasting my time!
So?
So what??
Um… nothing?
Good bye 'conscience' hope I don't hear your ugly son of a voice again
But my voice is your voice
What's your point?
Uhhh…
"HEY NATSUME! EARTH TO NATSUME!!!"
What was that??
Tch…it's that baka…
Ok! Ja ne!
Hn…
End of Natsume's POV
"HEY NATSU-" Mikan was cut off by Natsume.
"Shut it baka, your damaging my ears,"
"We were calling you for five minutes now! What's wrong with you??" Mikan said.
"We??" Natsume asked.
"Duh! Look!" Mikan said while pointing at her back.
"Hey King Hyuuga! Forgot about us already??" Kitsuneme asked while smirking.
"Shut it," Natsume replied coldly.
"…" Kitsuneme didn't reply anymore, being afraid that he might get burnt to crisp.
"Hey guys! We have been here for more than 1 hour already! Let's go eat!" Mikan offered.
"You pig… We just ate" Hotaru said
"Yeah but shopping makes me hungry! So let's go!" Mikan said while going out of the store and everyone just followed.
At a restaurant
After ordering their food (again), Sumire asked, "Hey guys, is it true that Hyuuga-sama and Sakura are engaged and so are Ruka-kun and Imai??" Ruka spit his tea out after Sumire's question. Sumire was a little angry that she wasn't engaged to either of them but she knew she couldn't change the arrangements.
"Well I think they should know by now," Hotaru said and the other three nodded.
"Yes, yes we are," Ruka said
"So if you guys are where are your engagement rings??" Nonoko asked.
"Right here," Mikan said as they showed their rings
"WOW! Those diamonds are HUGE!!! When did you get them??" Koko said then a machine from Hotaru told the story.
"Well, it was like this…."
FLASHBACK (the day their parents said that they were engaged)
"Ok. As you all know Aoi and Youichi (Mikan's brother) are seven years old and Natsume and Ruka is 14 and Mikan and Hotaru are turning 14. 1st of all, we know that Mikan has just come to Alice academy yesterday and started to go to school today and now Aoi and Youichi are now going as well. All of you 6 kids are engaged to each other. Natsume to Mikan, Ruka to Hotaru, Aoi to Youichi. There will be no objections and this agreement was made when all of us were going to get married. Is that understood kid?" Mrs. Hyuuga said telling their announcement.
5…..

"WHAT?!" everyone screamed even Hotaru and Natsume.
"How could you do this to us?!" Youichi started.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Aoi over reacted.
"You've got to be kidding" Hotaru said.
"How could you?!" Ruka said.
"WHY LORD, WHY?" Natsume said.
"…." There was no answer from Mikan, when everybody looked at Mikan expecting something they saw that Mikan had fainted.
"Oh dear, we have to get her to the hospital" Ruka's mom said.
"Wait, the engagement rings," Natsume's mom said as she gave 6 rings.
"Ok, the light blue diamond ring is Ruka's, the purple diamond ring is Hotaru's" Mikan's mom informed. "The red diamond ring is Natsume's; the pink diamond ring is Mikan's. Lastly, the silver diamond is Youichi's, and the lavender diamond ring is Aoi's. Is that understood?"
"Yes," Ruka replied. He sweat dropped when he heard no reply from Hotaru and Natsume.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Ooohhhhhh" everyone said. (Excluding Ruka, Hotaru and Natsume)
"Hey guys! Since were done eating lets go to MARKS AND SPENCER!!!" Mikan said
"YEAH!" the girls replied. (Except Hotaru)
Marks and Spencer
"WOW! Look at the new dresses!" Anna said.
"It's straight from Paris!!" Nonoko said.
"Hey guys! Look at this red dress!" Mikan said.
"Try it on!" Koko said.
"Buy it Sakura!!" Sumire said.
"Yeah!" Kitsuneme said.
"4000 RABBITS??? You have got to be kidding me! Are you sure you want to buy this Mikan??" Anna asked.
"Mikan's rich… so it doesn't matter" Hotaru said.
"DONE!" Mikan said with a smile.
"You really bought it?!" Kitsuneme asked in disbelief.
"YEAH! Ok it's now 5 pm… lets go pick up the kids," Mikan said. Natsume just nodded.
"BYE GUYS!!!" Mikan said while walking with Natsume.
"They look like a real couple!!" Anna said with stars in her eyes.
"Yeah," the others including Sumire and excluding Hotaru agreed.
"We will be going now," Ruka said while Hotaru turned around, waved goodbye and walked away with Ruka following.
"Hey they look like a real couple too!" Kitsuneme said and the others nodded.
"But if Hotaru heard that, she would kill us," Koko said and the others agreed with sweat drops on their heads.
The central town sakura tree
"Hey You-chan! Aoi-chan!" Mikan greeted.
"Onee-chan! Onii-chan!" Aoi said as she hugged them.
"Hi..." Youichi just said.
"So… did you guys have fun??" Mikan said.
"Hai!" Both of them answered.
"Hey Natsume! What's that??" Mikan asked.
"It's Howalons, baka." Natsume replied
"Ooooh!!! What's that? Wait! Never mind! Can u please buy 4 boxes please Natsume!?!?" Mikan begged.
"No," Natsume replied.
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Ple-"
"FINE!" Natsume said getting pissed.
"YAY!" Mikan said in delight and Natsume and Mikan went to buy 4 boxes of Howalons.
"Here," Natsume said to Youichi and Aoi while shoving them a box of Howalons.
"WOW! IT'S LIKE HEAVEN!!!" Aoi and Mikan said together.
"Hn…" was all Natsume could reply and Youichi stayed silent.
"Hey, I'll teleport you guys back to the dorms. Ok?" Mikan said.
"HAI!" the kids said and Natsume nodded.
"Everybody hold hands," Mikan said.
"We are already holding hands baka. We are stuck together remember??" Natsume said.
"AHHH!!! I meant with the kids!" Mikan said.
"Hn…"
Mikan snapped her fingers and they arrived at the dorms.
12 AM (midnight)
"Hey Natsume, I can't sleep," Mikan said while trying to wake up Natsume.
"Hmmm!! Don't wake me up baka, I wanna sleep." Natsume said.
"ARGH!" Mikan said and teleported Natsume and her to the Sakura tree.
"HEY!!!" Natsume said.
"I told you I couldn't sleep!" Mikan said getting cranky.
"SO?! You didn't have to teleport us here!" Natsume said.
"BUT I WANTED TO! PROBLEM???" Mikan retorted.
"YES!" Natsume answered.
"Well too bad for you now, isn't it??" Mikan said.
"BAKA!" Natsume said.
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here?" A cold voice said while Natsume glared into space. He whispered silently to himself, "PERSONA..."
