natsume: tch, don't worry polka, well, she doesn't own gakuen alice.
mikan: chapter 15 everyone!
Chapter 15
"ne, youichi, why are you wearing teal-colored contact lenses?" mikan looked up to herbrother, even though he's her little bro, he's still three inches taller than her, so when it comes to bickering, he'll always brag about how tall he is, and how small mikan is.
"well…" youchii started.
"he just like to try something new, and luckily, it's also a way for him to escape those bimbo fan girls," hotaru explained,
"but he still, looks….atractive," misaki narrowed her eyes at him as she made a frame out of her hands, which made tsubasa fume with jealousy, and youichi smirk.
"tch, of course I am" he said as he remembered the deal awhile ago..
Flashback
"here." Hotaru gave him a box,
"nani?"
"just open it." So he did, and he found a container with a pair of teal colored contacts.
"so?"
"baka. So, you'll use it until we have proven that hyuuga really is the one for the dummy…and you can't be seen by hyuuga without those, it's like giving him a clue about everything, and it would ruin the fun, ne?" hotaru explained with a mischievous glint in her eyes, while smirking to the lad beside her.
"but what if, I fall asleep wearing these?"
"baka, didn't I tell you already not, and I repeat, not underestimate the hotaru imai. It'll be okay, it won't 'cause you harm or irritate you in any manner, our own company made that." She said rather proudly.
"okay, I just hope he would notice soon, I'm itching to, I can't believe I'm saying this, tackle him into a hug…" he said as he blushed, but looked away nonetheless, while hotaru just showed another small grin.
"hmm, I'm expecting mikan to do more than that, though, even though she feels troubled and dense now, she loves natsume, and there's no stopping that."
"hai…." nonetheless, he also doubts what hotaru told him, how could natsume be there with his sister for a whole week without even noticing her? Yes, he looks exactly like nat kun, but he has to find out for himself, for the sake of mikan.
End of flashback
Youichi's pov
"welcome back, youchii sama…" maria bowed to me, I just gave her a slight nod, while our chauffeur carried my luggage to my room, but, I also helped him out with my carry-on bags, and followed him. As I reached the third floor, our chauffeur, calvin, waited for me to open the door, and so I did.
The welcoming aura of the room greeted me, with its teal wallpaper, queen size, round bed with its teal comforter, black sheets, and white pillows with black thread. The black, white and teal plaid carpeted floor adds up to the color theme. There's also an adjoining room that's leading to a mini living room. In short, the structure of the room is similar to that of mikan's, the difference is the color and of course, the things inside it.
normal pov
After unpacking for five minutes, he went down to the living room, only to be greeted by three shaking guys, his happy-go-lucky cousin, a stoic raven haired guy who's listening to his ipod, four girls who're having a lively chit chat.
"ehem…so," he started, and immediately, all eyes we at him, while natsume just narrowed his eyes on him, 'do I know that guy? Who is he?' youichi noticed his stare and cleared his throat.
"watashi wa youichi yukihara, a pleasure to finally meet some of you," he stopped as he glared at the new guys, and glared eben harder at natsume, and of course, being natsume, glared back at him. But before the glaring contest begin, youchii just smirked and continued. 'hn…so you're the famous natsume hyuuga, huh?'
"let's just cut the crap, I'm mikan's brother, I came back here to check on how's mikan doing, but, it doesn't mean that I'll check on her only, so, every guy who's straight here, except for star face, come in front!" he ordered. Everyone, even natsume, came in front of him.
"now, will yah shookai shimasu anata jishin?" he ordered, as everyone, except natsume, straighten their backs like soldiers.
"oh, and tell me your relationship with the girls." he said as he folded his arms on his chest.
"w-watashi wa ruka nogi, konyakusha of hotaru imai." he nervously said as he bowed,
"yuu tobita, b-boyfriend of anna.." yuu blushed.
"k-kokoro y-yome, boyfriend of n-nonoko." He nervously said, but his goofy smile was there, nonetheless.
"tch, natsume hyuuga, friends with these guys." He nonchalantly said as he pointed to the guys standing with him, and to tsubasa, who in turn gave a slight nod. When youchii's in front of natsume, he thought, 'hmm, natsume hyuuga, eventhough I didn't know the real name of nii chan, I still have the feeling that we met before, but first, we'll just prove if you're really worthy of her over these days.'
"oi, stop staring, will yah?" natsume said as he glared at the boy in front of him right now. Youichi just glared even harder and shot back,
"baka, I asked you what is your relationship with those girls, not guys, are you deaf?" natsume's left eyebrow began twitching, but, he felt somewhat proud, like he knew him before,
"tch, are you tired of your stupid life? I could end it right here, no one, I repeat, no one tells me what to do." youichi just cocked an eyebrow at him, 'tch, yep, you have the attitude, but, he won't mind if I have a little fun, ne?' he thought evilly, he made a fist and suddenly punched him, but, to his surprise, natsume caught it and began twisting his wrist, as he kneeled in pain.
" tch, so you wanna god damn battle me, huh? I normally don't hurt little twerps like you, but since I have no choice, this will teach you Not. To. Mess. With. Me." He stressed on those last words as he also inserted some force onto the hold on youichi's wrist.
"hyuuga! will you stop that nonsense?" hotaru asked, err force him, so he just growled and let go of him, youichi stood up with an irritating smirk on his face, so now he knows how annoying it can feel when someone smirks at you, feeling pissed.
"oi, every guy who's standing!" he shouted to the remaining guys, who was still nervous.
"I'll allow you to date the girls, but if you dare make them cry, you have two choices, one, experience living hell courtesy of me, or, kiss your f*cking life sayonara, and let satan decide the punishment, but I guarantee you that there's no difference in what'll I do to you, are we damn clear?" youichi seriously shouted, while the guys just nodded nervously and sat down,
"as for you, thank kami sama that mikan's not here or-"
"or you'll tell on me and cry like a little twerp, who cares?" natsume said sarcastically, youichi, again smirked, and continued,
"or else, your chance with her'll be gone." Everyone's eyes nearly popped out form its sockets, except for hotaru.
"what did you say, bastard?" natsume covered his face with his bangs as he clenched his fists and was ready to kill him right now.
"wait, do you actually love my sister, or are you just playing with her? You'll regret that you lived in this world if you did." The young yukihara's eyes darken as he clenched his fists, too. Natsume can't take it; he was itching to punch his sorry face.
"die in hell," natsume growled at the boy, who is now amused with him, and the audience, you ask? They were all shocked at what youchii got him into, while hotaru, as usual, is recording everything.
"oh really? Well, I hope I see you there, because I know that you'll f*cking go there first. Talk about playing with your dolls! And you've picked the wrong girl to play- what the hell?" youchii didn't had the chance to finish his statement as he was pulled by his collar and raised by our angry model.
"listen, yukihara, first point, I'm not gay to play with dolls," he growled as he throw youichi to the floor,
"second, I god damn didn't play with anyone's feelings, especially if it's mikan," he then punched him in the guts.
"third, don't you dare judge a person you don't even know," he let youchii stand up and defend for himself, so youichi did and gave natsume a 45 degrees kick, but unfortunately, missed his target.
"god, you're so slow, fourth, I don't care about anyone orders me, you'll just waste your time, and finally, I repeat, DON'T GIVE ME SHIT ABOUT PLAYING WITH MIKAN'S FEELINGS, TCH, IF YOU THINK THAT I'M NOT SERIOUS ABOUT HER, WELL, SHUT YOUR EFFIN' MOUTH AND THINK AGAIN!" natsume shouted angrily as he punched the wall, 3 centimeters away from youichi's face, he clearly doesn't want to hurt him, but still, no one judges his actions.
"natsume…" ruka reached for him, but natsume moved quickly and exited the room. When he did, ruka and the guys followed him, but before they did, ruka gave hotaru a be-sure-that-this-is-all-part-of-the-plan look. Hotaru just glared at him and went to youichi's side, and the gals followed,
"hey, where's mikan?" youichi asked, wiping a blood stain off the side of his lips,
"you actually slept for five hours, and since mikan's phot shoots are early, she immediately went there." Hotaru answered,
"youchii, you should've think twice before saying those things to natsume!" anna gasped
"yeah, you're even lucky that he still let you live." Misaki joked.
"it's like you're challenging him, what's wrong with you?" nonoko scolded.
"don't worry, it's all part of the plan," hotaru reassured them, but they still worry about his condition nonetheless.
"matte, I'll just get an ice pack for your bruised lip." Nonoko then dashed inside the kitchen.
"come on, sit on the sofa." Misaki coaxed him while she and anna helped him stand. Youichi just smirked and said,
"umm, can you guys get some snacks? I'm kinda hungry," so the two nodded and later followed anna to the kitchen.
"he hadn't changed." Youchii muttered to hotaru.
"yeah, is that proof enough for yah?" hotaru asked sarcastically,
"a little, but he didn't say directly that he loves her, right? So, if he didn't prove that to me within this week, I'll treat him like those other bastards." Youichi threatened as he popped the joints in his hands.
"tsk, fine, but watch out, or else he'll kill you."
"hn, don't worry, I just gave him some chance to see what he's got, and I must say, he's still holding back at me, huh?"
"like misaki said, you're lucky he still let you live."
"but, it's also a good thing that he finally showed his emotions, from the reports you sent me, he's a little hot headed but he tried to keep his patience, huh?"
"hai."
"that's good, at least he changed for the better, when he's still with us, he's very hot headed, and has a little string of patience."
"baka, thank the fan girls for that."
"hn, I know. But still, when I saw him, in his eyes were full of emptiness and problems…. But when we're little, it's always full of emotion, whether sadness of happiness, but mostly happiness of course,"
"tsk, that's because he still got her, his inspiration, but right now, with all the trouble going on, and plus he closed his heart to anyone, even ruka, of course it would be like a black hole."
"but, just wait, nii chan, we'll open you heart again, I give you the yukihara guarantee." Youichi promised with hope evident in his eyes. Hotaru just looked at him and smiled inwardly,
"yeah,"
Outside the gates of the yukihara mansion
"natsume, yoh, wait up!" ruka called out to him. Natsume finally stopped while tsubasa grabbed his shoulders, making sure that he won't run from them again.
"I know that youichi's words hurt you, but he's just deciding if you're really sure about mikan, he is protective," tsubasa explained as natsume clenched his fists,
"tch, I just hope he got the message."
"you know what, when mikan's in the 7th grade, on valentine's day, every free guy asked her out, you know what youichi did?" tsubasa waited for natsume's answer,
"what?"
"he hired an army, and ordered them to teach those suitors of hers some lesson, and for a whole week, most of the guy population was absent due to the minor damage that he did." Everyone laughed at the story he said, well, it's true anyways, and some minutes after, natsume chuckled too.
"he's that overprotective, huh? Somehow, I admire that kid, he'll really protect her sister," until an idea came into his evil mind and showed a mischievous grin,
"so he want me to prove him? I'll show him." He said, determined, and ran back to the front door of the mansion and went in, while the guys follow him, and in their minds, saying,
'the plan's doing great!'
Living room
"oi, twerp." Natsume called out to the young yukihara, but was nowhere to be found.
"natsume, what are you doing?" yuu hissed. He just ignored him and continued on yelling.
"yow! TWERP!" he yelled for the third time,
"natsume, stop that!" tsubasa warned him.
"I believe I have a name, BAKA." A shirtless youichi descended from the stairs as natsume smirked at his presence.
"tch, I'll prove to you that I'm serious with her, you just wait." Natsume challenged him. Youichi got beat up by him, but still admired natsume's hopeful spirit, nonetheless.
"whatever, but if you didn't within this week, get ready for hell, deal?"
"tch, deal." Natsume smirked.
"but, with your situation now, don't be so spirited." Youichi teased him as he headed for his room. But to natsume, it's a challenge that he'll surely endure.
His mission: PROVE MY LOVE FOR MIKAN.
mikan: wow, i barely had a part in this chapter... -_-"
natsume: tch, that's because it centers the relationship between me and youchii, because of you...
mikan: *blush* aww, so sweet~!
natume: iie, i'm just stating how troublesome you are,
mikan: ouch natsume, that hurts *sarcastic*
natsume: just review, it's between life or taste my wrath...
