Aha! Didn't think I'd post this fast did you?

DISCLAIMED

**Natsume's pov**

I walked out of the classroom, heading to the lunchroom to get some food. As I lazily looked around I noticed that it was noisier than usual; not only that but people were giving me weird looks. Not the usual "oh my god he's hot, lemme get in his pants," looks that I get from girls; not that I minded. But they were giving me looks of either amusement or sympathy. What did I do for them to give these mixed looks?

Deciding to ignore it I went into the lunch line, and waited for it to hurry up. Something I hate about lunch time in this high school; or maybe any high school, the lines are ridiculously long. Sometimes it'd be a battle to get food on some days if heres a special thats everyones favorite. But who would have a favorite lunch food at a school? I always thought it was gross. But when you're hungry, food is food.

When I finally grabbed my food, I headed for my usual seat with my group. My group consisted of; Koko, who was a jokester and is rarely taken seriously. His girlfriend Sumire, who we call Permy, because of her hair; by the way never get on her bad side. She's evil when pissed. Then theres Kitsu who's Koko's twin brother, they look almost identical except their eyes. His girlfriend Nonoko, who's a science whizz; whilst I am barely scraping by in that class. Her cousin Anna; which is weird because they look almost identical other than their hair and eye colors. When I first met them both I kept asking if they were twins because their looks were uncanny. Anna, last that I know of was single; and I've been paired multiple times with her as a 'ship.' Whatever that means. Well Anna or Hotaru; who looks like me but the girl version and violet colored irises. But I wouldn't go out with either of them, not because I don't find them attractive but because I just don't have feelings for them in that way. And rumor has it, Yuu from my swim team has been liking Anna for a while now. And Ruka, my best friend who by the way isn't here at the moment, likes Hotaru. But no one can really tell if she likes him back or not. Well, thats my group. A bunch of teens that are either related or just look alike.

Anyways, as I was munching on my food, I heard someone yell out my name. And knowing that voice anywhere, I looked back. Seeing my blonde hair friend running towards me, looking panicked.

"What." I drawled out.

He didn't say anything for a minute or two, trying to catch his breath. Exactly where did he just come from? "That Sakura girl.. You know, the girl that sits next to me in Mr. Tono's science class? Yeah, well... She's prone to that crazy physco, that owns the club of us.." He finally said; after about two minutes of huffing.

I raised brow, as if wondering, 'why the hell should I care at this moment?' But I new under the bored expression; I was worried. That idiot doesn't need to be caught up with those girls. Not only are they crazy hot, they're completely crazy! Like no joke, they bully girls that are my friends; which were Anna, Nonoko, Sumire and Hotaru. But once Sumire started dating Koko and Nonoko started dating Kitsu; they were left alone. Hotaru is just crazy scary, and will not deal with anyones bull as long as she's around. But Anna on the other hand is trained in some sort of martial arts, though not that high in ranking yet. But she's strong enough to have some cred where they finally stopped messing with her. Though they had to learn it the hard way, repeatedly. But Sakura? I doubt she can even take care of herself in a pen full of chickens.

Then I realized what I thought, wait. I felt her punch so many times, they hurt a lot. Maybe she'll be fine on her own. "But she's caught up in your biz, so technically it's your fault." Ruka stated, giving me a stern look. I sighed, that girl, is so troublesome. "Why do you care about that Sakura girl?" I asked raising a brow. He turned a light shade of pink, zoning off a bit, probably reminiscing about something involving her.

I stood up, letting the scraping sound reverberate throughout the room. Sure it was really loud, but it was drowned out by the voices of people. Obviously starting new rumors of that hazelnut haired girl. "I get it, I get it, you have some sort of fascination with her; who knows maybe you like her." I teased. He gave me a look as if he was appalled by the thought of liking her; which was really odd. Considering Ruka would never make that kind of face when I would tease him about some other girl.

"Why would I like her? She-" I cut him off with the wave of my hand, "Theres no need to insult her. Never knew that you were that kind of person, Ruka." I stated. He gave me a look of bewilderment. "What? I- no. I would never insult a girl. Sakura is a beautiful girl bu-" I grabbed his arm; cutting him off again. "Alright, I get it. You like her but you don't want to admit it. Let's go save the damsel in distress and you can be her knight in shining armour." I said, as I pulled him along, and waved good bye to the group with my other hand. Before I left the room though, I felt like it suddenly got colder, and the people got quieter. That's weird. Usually in the lunchroom it'd be burning; considering all the bodies in a small-ish room.

As we turned the hall I let go of him and asked, "So where is the idiot?" Ruka's eyes darted, looking back and forth as we passed. If he's doing that, does that mean he doesn't even know where she's at? I stopped walking, causing Ruka to stop as well. "You don't know where she's at, do you." I asked, or stated rather. He answered my question with a sheepish smile.

I sighed and rubbed by face with my hand, "Ruka.." I tiredly began, "What's the point of bringing me, when you don't even know where she is?" I asked with a tired grunt. "Sorry man, I freaked when I saw that article of her in the commons and when I saw her burn it. She's pised and I don't want her to get kicked out. She doesn't know yet, but she'll know soon." He told me pleadingly. I gave another sigh, "When are you going to tell her? How long has it been? You do know, the longer she doesn't know; you're going to be the one hurt in the end. And another thing," I paused as I started to walk again; with him following suit, giving me a questioning glance. "Did you say burn?" I asked with amusement sprinkling my tone.

He gave me a sad smile. " One; I don't know when I'm going to tell her. Two; about three years. Three; yes I know, I'll be the one hurt, but I'm okay with that. When the one day I tell her the truth comes, she'll be either very angry or joyful. Hopefully the latter rather than the former, but it she does do the former. I'll give her space, because the last thing I want her to do is disappear from my life again." He cracked an amuse smile, "Yeah, she took a girl's lipstick and that one stoner's lighter. Those two looked very pissed; well actually not the stoner. Considering her did just come back from smoking some."

I shook my head as I tried wiping the amusement from my expression. "Was she always like that?" I asked, trying to control my tone and not laugh. He gave me a shrug back, "Dunno. Can't remember much myself, really." I nodded my head, finally getting the expression off my face.

Just when I was about to turn another corner, continuing our aimless wandering. I stopped and took a few steps back, also shoving Ruka back as well. "What?" He quietly asked, sensing something off. I peeked around the corner to confirm what I saw. I was correct; I saw that Sakura girl on the floor, prompted against the wall. She had some blood leaking from the corner of her mouth and an ugly bruise starting to form on her cheek. What happened to her? She was surrounded by four girls, all of which I don't have any classes with. But that familiar strawberry blonde girl caught my attention, sending a shiver down my spin. No, not because I liked her in that way, but because I know all the things that girl could do. And she'd most likely get away with too, just because she was that great at acting.

The one and only crazy phsyco, named Luna Kozumi.

"Well, well, well." The strawberry blonde taunted, "Not so tough now are you?" I saw her smirk. Mikan, lifted her head and spat on the blonde's face, before glaring so menacingly, that I saw the other girls take a small step back. "Tough? Well, bitch, I like to say that I am tough, and brave. Seeing as how I was able to give your little possy some nice black eyes' and broken noses. No need to thank me; plus you can't possibly think that four against one is in any way fair." Mikan taunted back, smirking victoriously; despite how painful it looked to lift the corners of her mouth. Luna looked even more pissed; seeing as how she wasn't able to make Mikan beg for mercy.

How did that idiot get herself into this mess?

Luna growled. "Watch your mouth before we do something we won't regret; but you might. If you beg for mercy now, then we might spare you." She stated as she stood up straighter, crossing her arms right below her overly sized breasts.

Mikan looked like she was thinking about it, before she smiled and said, "Nah, seeing as how your other girls don't look like they're up to fight and you yourself seem like you can't take a punch, I think I'll be okay. Maybe I should get up now and pop those fake boobs of yours." She lazily drawled out, like she pretty much sumed everything up in her head. Luna, looking angrier than before, brought something out; something I wondered how she wasn't caught with it before.

A knife.

Sure, at the sight of the knife, most girls probably would've been scared shitless and beg for mercy. But no, Mikan was not like most girls. In fact, she started to laugh; like its the funniest thing in the world. At first Luna looked taken back, but then she was pissed. "Whats so funny? So scared that you resulted to laughing?" Mikan shook her head. Clearing her throat trying to control her laughter, "What? Pfft, no. I found it funny how you're so weak, being unable to control the situation that you resorted to using a knife. Thats pretty lame. What's even more pathetic are those articles that you posted on the bulletin. Actually no, scratch that. What's more pathetic is your so-called "love" for that arrogant Hyuuga. Do you even know anything about him?"

By now, Luna was shaking. Her face was so red that it looked like she'd burst. "Using a weapon against another, doesn't mean I'm weak! It shows that I'm smart enough to prepare; unlike you. That article? You have no proof that I posted it. None whatsoever. And I truly do love Natsume. He's so handsome and rich! Do you know who his parents are? He'll make me famous once we get married! And I'll not only have money, a handsome hubby, attention that I deserve, but I'll also have power! I could make anyone be my slave by then; ruin all my enemies' lives!"

I physically blanched at the thought of marrying that psycho bitch. She's absolutely crazy! I saw Mikan blanch as well. " One; I do have proof. A lot actually. So much that it'd probably get you into so much trouble. Not only that but I also have witnesses, showing how you "oh so beat me up," not that you knew they were here. One of the witnesses being your so-called, "future husband" who by the way just saw your whole rant right around the corner." She nodded her head at our direction.

How the hell did she know that we were here? Does she have bat hearing or something? Geez. I stepped out of the corner and lazily leaned against the wall. "Damn, didn't know you knew we were here. What did you do to get into this mess, idiot?" I asked as Ruka stepped out as well, and stood next to me. His eyes darted from the knife to Mikan. Seemingly trying to calculate what to do.

Luna looked redder than before. If that was even possible; but at this point it just looks like she dipped her face into red paint. "Natsume wouldn't come to you rescue! And Ruka wouldn't either! They came here for me! They knew what I was doing and came to gloat about me winning! They wouldn't rescue you, you punched one of them in the face because you were rejected! You stalking bitch!" Luna screeched. The fuck. She is such a Lunatic.

I coughed clearing my throat, I got an idea. But Mikan nor I will like this. I slowly walked closer to them. Glaring hard at her and her little possy. "Why would I come here for you?" I bent down and picked Mikan up bridal style, "I don't know you. I came to save my girlfriend." And this remark I saw Mikan give me a little twitch of the brow; knowingly showing she's pissed off. "She isn't your girlfriend! She wouldn't have punched you if she was!" I shrugged. "I like it rough." I smirked and turned away, nodding at Ruka to clean this mess up. But Mikan reached out and held his arm, pulling him down to whisper something. Once she let go, he nodded saying he understood, and went to go talk to the bitches. Once I turned a few corners heading to the school nurse I started to feel her squirming in my arms again.

Huh, funny. Never thought that a girl would ever want to be squirming out of my arms before. I also never thought that I'd be carrying a girl, I barely knew to the nurse. "Put me down Hyuuga.' She whispered, seeing as how classes were already starting. I did get some weird looks from people. Probably wondering why I'm holding the girl that punched me in the face. "No." I answered. As I continued to make my way toward the nurse's office.

After a few more seconds he slumped up against me, in defeat most likely. "What did you do to get yourself into that mess?" I asked, being curious as to what happened. I set her down gently on the bed in the nurse's office. I looked around for the said nurse, but she wasn't here. Now I'm starting to wonder if this school even has a nurse, I've been here so many times and not once have I seen a nurse.

I rolled my eyes at this situation. I headed for the cabinets and grabbed the little first aid kit. "You going to answer me, idiot? Or are you just going to sit there and sulk because I saved your ass again?" I turned around, and saw here calculating eyes watch my every movement. Geez, it's like she always has her guard up or something. I went over to her and opened up the kit, holding her chin so she can look up at me; I started to clean her wounds.

"It's all that dumb blonde's fault. She deserved it. She posted the most ridiculous article of me; us actually. Then she put a picture of me on the street corner in the most revealing clothes possible. I wouldn't even call that string of fabric clothes." She visibly shivered. "I got so pissed, I went straight to her and tried hitting the daylights out of her. Keyword: tried. Her possy was just s- ow!" She winced when I started cleaning the scrape on her knee. I rolled my eyes and continued with what I was doing.

"At least be gentle.. " She groaned. "I am being gentle, you just can't handle the pain." She glared at me, "I am handling the pain! You're just pressing on it too hard!" I gave her a grunt of annoyance before answering, "Oh you mean like this?" I pressed the rubbing alcohol filled cotton ball on her knee. She winced, "Ow! You ass, get off of me!" She yelled while trying to kick my face. She was close, she hit my shoulder. Then she tried to hit me again.

I blocked it and held her legs, "Stop that you brat! That fucking hurts! Quit moving, so I can just finish without spilling everything everywhere!" I muttered, and glared at her. Motioning to the still opened bottle of rubbing alcohol thats right next to me on the floor. She huffed, and crossed her arms. Finally, stupid brat.

"Stop! Stop whatever you two are doing! This is a school, for goodness sake! Have some decency!" Yelled a female voice. I looked at the door; that was now, wide open with a red haired women, looking to be in her 40's standing in the doorframe. Her face was blushing, but she wasn't looking at us. Who is she?

"Well go on, get dressed.." She muttered, once she realized that no movement was being made. Wait, what the fuck is she talking about? Then it came to me. "Ma'am, we aren't having sex, if that's what you thought you heard.." I muttered with a smirk on my face.

She looked over at us and realized what we were doing. Her cheeks became even more red. "Oh.." Was all that fell from her mouth. I looked up at Mikan, and saw that she was confused, with a slight red tint on her own cheeks. I held back my smile, as I finished up with cleaning her wounds and stood up. "Well, my girlfriend and I will be leaving now." I took Mikan's hand and we started to make our way out of the door. After a few corners, she shook my hand out of hers. "What're we going to do about this whole fake relationship?" She whispered, as if someone was listening in on us. Which, I'm pretty sure no one was.

I shrugged. "It'll help us both. So it's a win-win situation." She looked up at me confused. Giving me a look that says, 'explain.' I sighed and rubbed my temples. Couldn't she just figure it out? It's not that hard. "You are getting bullied. I have crazy psycho bitches stalking me. We pretend to go out, everything will be solved. No one will bother you, and my stalkers- hopefully- will stop following me as well." She looked as if she's contemplating the pro's and con's. I shrugged once again; when she looked back up at me. "It's not like you have much of a choice now. I mean, this plan is already in motion, whether you're going to be cooperative or not. Because if you tell people that you aren't actually dating me, they'll make up some horrible rumors. Your choice."

"Why can't I just wait everything out; you know until it blows over?"

I smirked, "When it involves me, honey, it's not going to blow over." We stopped right in front of our classroom. "If we're going to act it, we have to make it look convincing. Come over to my place and we'll discuss the plan, but until then. We have to act like a horribly love-sick couple. Got it, dear?" I told her.

She grumbled under her breath before, looking up at me and giving me warm smile. I didn't even know she could smile like that. "Whatever you say, babe."

Then we entered the classroom, our last period of the day. I can honestly say:

This Monday was totally fucked up in many ways.

Hey guys'! Before you start on the rampage of, "Oh another one of these stories.. We all know how this is going to go. -input: eyes rolling-" I wanna say that I promise it won't! I think.. No.. never mind! But the ending of this story is different! And there may be twists everywhere! And sex puns in some places... aha.. Yeah; hopefully this story ends in like 30 chapters, somewhere around there. But yeah! Now you know.

I also want to thank you guys for your reviews! They're really encouraging/hilarious! ^-^

So, until next chapter!

ily.
