Chapter 9
The next thing I know, I'm dangling on one of the branches. I was thinking of someone who could help me, the first name that came in my head is…
"natsume…"
It was just a whisper, but, why did I call him anyways?
'baka, that's because you like him!' a voice insisted,
CRICKLE…CRICKLE…
'oh no!' "natsume!"
Natsume pov
"natsume!"
I heard someone shout my name; I think it's coming from the garden. Something urged me to come and hurry, it's like someone's dying, so I quickly ran. When I reached the garden, the first thing a saw was a branch, on the soil, then I looked up, and what I saw scared the hell out of me, 'polka's life's in danger!' then,
CRRRRRACK!
"help!" I heard her shout, I ran to her and she fell into my arms, hiding her face from me. I felt that I would die awhile ago; I thought that I was going to lose this girl. I put her down, gently onto the grass, it's already 7 pm and we haven't even eaten dinner. I kneeled in front of her, I heard her sob. I cupped her face and raised it, I saw her crying face. I can't take it when I saw her like this, I quickly pulled her into a long embrace, letting her cry quietly on my shoulder. I glanced up, I saw the bright stars, and the crescent moon. I then caressed her head gently with my hand and whispered,
"shh, don't worry, I'm here now. Don't cry, I promise I'll never let anything happen to you." She then embraced me back. I felt guilty for what happened to her, I felt it's my fault, for not being there with her. But now, I felt relieved that she's safe.
"I'm sorry." I said while I faced her face, and wiped her tears away with my handkerchief. When I'm done, she flashed me a comforting smile,
"thanks, natsume, s-sorry for making you worry." That smile made me show a small smile,
Flashback
We were playing tag, and then, I heard her cry my name,
"nat-kun! Uwaaa nat-kun!" she came, running, I mean, limping to me. I saw her, pure worry on my face, and ran towards her, taking out my hanky.
"what happened, mi chi? Are you alright?" I asked her while I wipe those warm tears of hers away.
"i…I tripped…on a rock…t-then, this" she said as she point to her bruised knee. I then took the hanky and wrapped it around it. I gave her my water bottle and told her to stop crying and drink it. By the time she's done, I was sitting next to her, staring at her with worried eyes.
"a-are you alright already? Can you still walk?" I asked, she flashed a comforting smile and said,
"yup, I can still walk, don't worry. Thank you, nat kun. But w-wait, how about your hanky?"
"keep it, it's yours." I said as I sighed, relieved to hear that she is okay.
"thanks again, nat kun, sorry for making you worry." She flashed a cheeky smile to me.
And I swear that made my heart skip a beat.
End of flashback
I then laid my back on the trunk of the tree, I glanced sideways, and saw polka doing the same thing, but on the other side of the trunk. I looked up, and saw a shooting star pass by, I then touched the ring on my necklace, closed my eyes, and make a wish, 'I wish I can find mi chi soon, and please, tell me why am I feeling that she is close to me right now.' I then opened my eyes and asked polka,
"oi, polka, did you see the shooting star?"
"yup, did you make a wish, natsume?"
"hn, how about you?"
Mikan pov
I saw the shooting star pass by, I then caressed the ring on my necklace and made a wish, 'oh kami-sama, please, is nat kun natsume? When I'm with him, I suddenly feel happy and safe, just like when I'm with nat kun, please, where are you nat kun?'
"oi, polka, did you see the shooting star?"
"yup, did you make a wish, natsume?" I asked him
"hn, how about you?"
"uhu~ care to tell me what yours is?" I asked, curiosity got the best of me.
"baka, you shouldn't tell your wish to anyone or it will never come true." He said, I stood up and walked to him and offered my hand,
"come on, natsume~! I'm hungry!" I showed him a cheeky smile, pleading for him to stand up. He just loked up at me and smirked,
"tsk, who would know that a maid can have such childish taste in her underwear?"
I just flashed a confused look to him.
"tch, you're so dense, lacy. Well, just be ready for my attack tonight." He said as he went to the kitchen door. I tried to process what he just said…lacy…attack…tonight…

"OI, YOU PEVERTED, EGOISTICAL, JERK! COME BACK HERE! TRY TO ATTACK ME AND I'LL KICK YOUR SORRY BUTT!" I yelled back.
I marched inside the kitchen and ate my dinner as I glare at him. Just then, koko came with nonoko and asked us,
"oi, are you guys a couple already?"
"tsk, who would like this childish girl here?" natsume retorted as he point at me, but I felt my heart hurt when he said that, I'm soo confused! I just shrugged and glared daggers at him,
"ha! Who would like you, a perverted maniac, to be anyone's boyfriend?" I retaliated.
"tch, you ask who? Well I can't tell you who they really are 'cause they're all the women out there." He replied proudly and then continued,
"who would want you as their girlfriend, a childish, loud, weird girl." He said
Normal pov
"huh, just so you know, I have my childhood friend, he's much nicer than you are, and, he promised me that he will come back!" mikan said, obviously proud of her statement, but, natsume saw a glint of regret in her eyes, and he felt some strings was pulled in his chest, 'why do I feel guilty? It's like I know that person…' he pondered to himself; nonoko faked a cough and said,
"umm…okay! We just want to know what movies do you want to watch, 'cause misaki and anna wants to have a movie marathon later," she then give koko a look, and he then continued,
"we have….the grudge, camp rock 2, eclipse, despicable me, lightning thief…." And the list goes on as they thought of the DVDs we have, when they were done, they asked mikan and natsume again… 'kyaa~!lightning thief!' mikan told herself. (A/N: I just included some of the movies I already watched, so please don't be disappointed if your fave film wasn't included, gomen ne~!)
"i would choose lightning thief please~! Logan wa kawaii~!" mikan squealed, and nonoko just jumped to her side, and went on adoring their idol,
"those charming eyes, and that sweet smile of his! He's so charming! Kyaaa~!" nonoko squealed with her,
'I just can't understand girl language!' both koko and natsume thought while they cover their ears and koko just shouted,
"okay, okay fine! Lightning thief it is! Sheesh! You don't have to make our handsome ears bleed you know?" he announced, raising his hands in defeat. Natsume just shrugged and went out of the kitchen and walked to his room. Soon, everyone gathered in the game room, wearing their pajamas.
Anna is wearing a white tank top with a red heart in the middle, and a pair of pink jogging pants, she's wearing some bunny slippers, nonoko is wearing the same tank top but the color of the heart's black, and the pair of navy blue jogging pants, she's wearing black havannas flip flops.
Hotaru is wearing a size larger, purple tee that has a picture of a camera hanging on her neck and a caption that says, 'mess with me and you'll regret it.' And some mini, black, cotton shorts, she doesn't have any footwear.
Mikan is wearing her silk, pink nightdress, which is designed by her mom; a pair of mini, white, cotton shorts, she's also wearing some pink, fluffy slippers.
Misaki is wearing a size larger yellow tee that says, 'make a move and you'll die' and a pair of black mini shorts; she's also wearing a pair of orange havannas flip flops
Yuu is wearing a fitted tee that says 'just because I wear specks, doesn't mean I'm not hot you know' and some jogging pants with a pair of gray havannas flip flops
Koko is wearing a muscle shirt with a punk smiley that is sticking out his tongue and making a 'rock on' sign with his hand, with black boxers and with no footwear.
Ruka is wearing a plain white muscle shirt and a pair of black jogging pants but with no footwear.
Natsume is wearing a black muscle shirt with a flame in the middle and at the back says 'yeah, yeah, I know I'm hot' and a pair of black pocket, knee shorts and red havannas flip flops.
Last but not the least, tsubasa is wearing a gray knit cap with a black tee with a caption that says, 'I can control you' and navy blue knee shorts and a pair of silver havannas flip flops.
(A/N: I love havannas so much~!)
Mikan got some extra bean bags form the stock room, she got about five, the thing is, she's struggling to get those down to the game room, 'how can I even get this all at once? Nyaa~!' .
Thump thump thump…
'Footsteps! Maybe it's tsubasa nii!' (A/N: tsubasa is mikan's cousin, remember? Since she doesn't have any onii chan, tsubasa is taking the role of a big bro to her.)
She went to the direction of the footsteps, with hopes up, and asked,
"tsubasa nii~! Can you help me with these bean ba- natsume?"
"oi, polka, your tsubasa nii is in the game room already." Natsume replied nonchalantly.
"*sigh* yeah, I know, I'm just having a lit-tle problem right now,"
"hn, who cares? Good luck with it anyways." But before natsume can walk off, mikan suddenly appeared in front of him, wearing her puppy eyes and purring,
"please~? Natsume-kun ?" natsume just sighed in defeat and shrugged, signaling her to tell him the problem already.
"well, I have these bean bags with me, as you can see." Mikan gestured to the bean bags,
"I have to bring them to the game room, but it's too heavy for me to carry it all…"
"tch, that's really simple, polka. Just get them two by two or one by one and return here to get the others."
"but that's just it, I would be exhausted by the time I got the last batch to the game room, and the next thing I know, I'm sleeping while you guys watch the movie! And I wanna see logan in action, you know!" mikan pleaded, 'geez what a dilemna!'. Natsume just shrugged and quickly got three of it and hangs it on his back, he's at the end of the stairs when he noticed mikan wasn't following him, he sighed and shouted,
"oi, polka! Would ya hurry up there! I'm trying to help you here!"
Mikan was still amazed, natsume actually helped her! 'ha! So he'll listen to me if I use my puppy eyes, huh? Hehe' mikan thought as she grin evilly.
"buh bye polka!" natsume called out to her again. She quickly woke up from her trance and got two and hangs it on her back, like what natsume did.
"wait up!"
Soon, they reached the game room, with the aroma of freshly cooked popcorn enveloping the whole room.
"tsk, no thank you, polka?" natsume whispered with his husky voice to her ears, which made her jump with shock.
"ummm…a-arigatou natsume…" 'damn, I stuttered!' which didn't escape the eyes of natsume, seeing her, he just smirked and ruffled her hair.
"tsk," with that last word, he jumped on the sofa with ruka and koko. Mikan just "hmped" at him and went to the snacks area and got some popcorn and a can of soda.
"mikan, over here~!" misaki called to her cheerfully and gestured to the orange bean bag next to hers.
"hai!" she replied and skipped to her place, cheerfully.
Mikan pov
"so, is there anything happening between you and koko?" I asked nonoko, 'what? It's not like I'm a busy body or something, just pure curiosity, that's all!'
"umm….w-why are you asking?" nonoko blushed and burrowed her face into one of the pillows, which was not left unnoticed by us!
"I knew it! You guys are super close to each other these past days." Anna pointed out.
"hey, so does that means that you guys are really dating?" misaki asked impatiently. Then, koko popped from behind and said, "yes, yes we are," with his usual goofy grin, but a blush was visible in his cheeks.
"kyaaa~! I can't believe it! Congratulations!" I squealed, what? I'm soo happy for them! Then I started jumping up and down, up and down, up and-
BAKA BAKA BAKA!
"ouch….hotaru, what was that for~?" I cried, while I caressed my sore forehead.
"baka, you're too loud, you know?" familiar, irritating voice came from behind, I turned around abruptly and saw those crimson eyes, giving off a bored aura.
"I didn't ask you! Jerk!"
"tch, I'm just telling the truth, baka."
"hmp! Meanie!" I grunted in reply, 'stupid hyuuga!'
"ehem, ehem…oi, are you done with your lovers' quarrel?" hotaru asked us, well, mostly me, sarcastically.
"we are not having a LOVERS' quarrel!"
"yeah right! As if mi-chan would betray me, ne?" I turned to my right, and saw tsubasa sitting beside misaki.
"hai! I will never tsubasa-nii~!" and then turned to natsume,
"especially for an arrogant jerk like him!"
"tch, polka, will you shut your effin' mouth already? We're trying to start the movie here." Natsume said, while glaring at me, and then to tsubasa, with a hint of irritation in his voice.
"bleeeh!" I just stuck out my tongue and faced my back to him 'arrogant jerk! I can't believe that he's the natsume that I was with at the sakura tree…talk about changes!'
"tsk, okay, since every idiot here is quiet, let's start already" hotaru announced as she play the DVD, and soon, everyone was quietly watching, except for us girls….not including the cold-blooded hotaru of course, hehe, squealing when they zoom in on Logan's face. Then I felt my phone vibrated, 'who would call this time of the night?' (A/N: it's 10:30 pm already). I just ignored it and went back watching the movie. After about two minutes, my phone vibrated again, I just turned off my phone, not caring who's calling.
Normal pov
It's already 11 pm, everyone is still watching, except for natsume, who's just listening to his ipod, and tsubasa and koko, who's trying to fight their sleepiness. In the midst of silence, hotaru's phone ringed, and the sleepyheads abruptly sat up straight.
All for money….all for mone-
She quickly got her cellphone, and when she saw who's calling, abruptly stood up and said,
"shoot, gotta answer this, BRB" and dashed off….
