Thank you for all your reviews!!!
It makes my heart flutter whenever I saw somebody reviewed my story.
So enough with all of that…
CHAPTER 3: THE LEGEND BETWEEN THE PLAYBOY AND THE ICE QUEEN
The clear blue sky appeared once again as I looked outside of this mansion. I always feel calm whenever I looked at it, a certain feeling that I needed the most right now. Making decisions would be so hard especially when you're girlfriend is the ice queen, not only in the whole school but also in this whole subdivision or maybe in the whole country or maybe… wait, I'm exaggerating.
This confusing situation I am in right now really pisses me off, but then, who will believe that the "forever patient" Ruka Nogi would be pissed. Those people just judge whenever they want to. How pathetic, but then, I need to find a solution on this "little problem" of mine just like the oh-so-great-thinker Natsume said.
No hard feelings but that guy surely didn't give a damn on what will happen. He only thinks about his girls. I take that back. He never cared for anyone except his little sister and father. Of course, me too, but he played with other girls' feelings so carelessly.
I know he had a reason for being like that but then, I think it's too much. Sure his mother left them and divorced his father but-
My thoughts were interrupted by a deep voice coming from upstairs.
"Ruka, stop thinking about nonsense things and make sure that your girlfriend wouldn't cause any trouble for this night's dinner." Speaking of the devil, Natsume said.
I raised my eyebrow. So now, he can read my mind. How come? I was quite surprised.
"Don't bother yourself with an answer. Just do what I said." He said once again as he hold his cellphone while busy typing. Maybe he found another toy to play with.
Did I just think the word "toy"?! If Hotaru found out about this change in vocabulary, she would surely kill me!
"Ruka,I hate your BEASTfriend. Girls are not toys to be played around and to be called as that. If ever I hear that word again from your BEASTfriend, I will certainly punish him without thinking twice. My upgraded 'Baka Gun' model 2000i is far more powerful than the first 200i and certainly, you know how it feels to be shot by model 200i." She told me these words after hearing Natsume call his new girl, "My New Toy". The girl, being Hotaru's partner, or rather helper which is more fitted to be called 'slave', in inventing things certainly disagreed about her partner's nickname.
"Wha-? Ok. Whatever." I said as I make sure to never, EVER, even think about that word again. Thinking really stresses your mind and also your body. I wonder why as I walked to the kitchen and looked for something that would ease my headache. This guy sure is a pain.
"Let's see. Root beer, softdrinks, Ice cream, chocolate cake, apples, left-over pizza, strawberries, orange…" I raised my eyebrow for the second time.
"Natsume, what would be the menu for dinner?" I asked. Surely, he has something to prepare, right?
Natsume who is now at the living room, watching an action movie answered, "Whatever she likes, Ruka."
"What does she likes?" I asked getting two apples and bit the other one. I walked to the living room to discuss for dinner's plans.
"Many foods… most are sweet… but prepare something that we could eat too." He said as he caught the apple I threw at him without even looking at me.
"I will prepare??? Why me??? She's you're little sister and it's her "welcome dinner" just like you said." I said as I took a sit at the other chair.
"I don't feel like cooking." He said monotonously while munching the apple.
"But-! Ok! Whatever…" I just said. The last time I forced him to cook; we ate a burned tuna fish. It's not that Natsume is a bad cook. He is a good cook and can be a famous chef but you can never expect him to cook well if he doesn't like or else you'll be eating a poisonous dinner.
"I'm going to meet with Hotaru today; to invite her to this dinner." I said as I went outside and meet with my beloved Ice queen.
"What do you mean by that, NOGI RUKA???" Hotaru, my girlfriend, said. Her voice is so calm but her eyes tells that if I said a wrong thing, she can kill me by just looking, which is true and this always happen to everybody, that's why she is called as the ice queen.
"Well, you see, his little sister is going to come and would be staying for a bit. She said that she wants a little "welcome dinner" for her and that I should take my girlfriend because she wants to meet the lucky girl." I said trying to stay calm and collected although, deep inside, I am shaking.
"The lucky girl???" she asked as her eyes seem to soften but her face remains stoic and her killing aura loosens a bit, or am I imagining things???
"I agree. I will go to that welcome dinner of that damned jerk (AN: She's referring to Natsume, not Aoi)… ONLY, if there is a temporary truce between us." She said as she stirred her cold cappuccino.
"Yes, that is already settled." I said. Now, the only thing left for me to do now is to wish good luck for later.
"Ruka, you know too well why I hate your beastfriend guts." She said as she looked outside. I almost burst into laughter at her "BEASTfriend" term for Natsume. Well, if there is one person who would hate Natsume a.k.a playboy, it is no other than Hotaru a.k.a Ice Queen.
I clearly remember what happened at their first meeting. I guess, Hotaru's beauty definitely attracts everybody but only a few with self- confidence can be able to tell her that. Basically, I am one of the brave… and so is Natsume.
Flashback
The teacher entered later than usual and that means there is a special announcement. He walked to the blackboard and wrote Imai Hotaru in Japanese. Murmurs are heard in the whole classroom everybody knows what that means. It only means that there is a new student.
Our homeroom teacher, Mr. Narumi, told everyone to quiet down. I am certainly curious at the new student but I was not overexcited like the others. I looked at Natsume, my seatmate and best friend; he seems to be curious too but doesn't care nonetheless.
The voice of Mr. Narumi broke out my thoughts as he said, "You may come in now Ms. Imai". 'Miss???' I thought. I just hope it's not another fan girl. Maybe, that day Kami-sama really wanted to give me so much blessings, the problem is, it's "so much". A beautiful girl, definitely not a fan girl because of her scrutinizing gaze, entered the classroom and everybody was awed. 'Is she a goddess?' I almost blurted out.
The girl's beautiful raven hair which seems so soft and cupped her face elegantly, her amethyst eyes that could drown anyone who looked into them even at first glance, her cute little perfect nose that doesn't seem to be artificial, her thin pink lips that doesn't smile seems to strengthen her undeniably intimidating gaze, her porcelain skin that looks so soft even by just looking at it, and her slender figure and curves at the right places.
She's just like a goddess and I am sure she caught my heart at first glance, but something is wrong. She seems to be glaring daggers, at me?!
I looked around, is it me? I hope not, once again, Kami-sama definitely made sure all my wishes for this day come true. It's not me she's glaring at; it's no other than my best friend Natsume. He is definitely annoying her with his playboy tactics. I have a feeling that this one is not good because she looks like she can do the impossible.
"Freaking-playboy-jerk over there, the one beside the cute-bunny-blondie-boy, stop giving me silly looks of yours or else I'll make you stop; in my own way." She seems serious and I think it is really better if Natsume would stop. Wait! What did she said about me?! "cute-bunny-blondie-boy"?! It makes me look like a gay!
I was about to retort when,…
*BAKA*
*BAKA*
*BAKA*
*THUD*
She blew smokes from her gun, Kami-sama! She has a gun! Natsume! Is he alright?! I looked at the other side of the classroom; he is there; still alive. Thank God! My classmates moved back from the fight between the two while Narumi decided to watch and didn't even think about stopping them.
"You brat!!! How dare you do this to me!" Natsume said as he stood up and was about to take a chair. He gets angry whenever he's defeated, that's why I need to stop this at once, but it seems like Imai isn't also the type of person who backs down. She pointed her gun once again at Natsume, 'This wont stop'. I thought, 'I really need to stop both of them'.
"Everyone please calm down." Narumi said before I even speak. All students looked at him and wondering what he's up to. "Ms. Imai and Mr. Hyuuga, please stop this petty fight and return to your seats." He said while smiling like an idiot.
I was quite surprised when Ho- I mean, Imai, followed his instructions. Thinking what had occurred this day, I must say, there is someone who could, at least, resist Natsume's charm and even tried to beat him. The things is, she's a girl and this is the start of their legendary war.
End of Flashback
"What are you thinking Ruka?" Hotaru said as she sipped her cappuccino.
"Nothing, just reminiscing something." I said as I smiled at her. I remembered why she called him my "BEAST friend". It's because of her visit at my, I mean, Natsume's place.
Flashback
After a few months of courting, and slavery, I managed to make her fall for me. That day, we were supposed to go for a date but I left the latest crab- flavored cheesecake at home and she insisted on picking it up. We went back to my place. I never knew she still doesn't know that Natsume is the owner of the mansion I was currently staying and I lived there with him. I mean, it's really impossible, right? She is Hotaru Imai and she doesn't know that? Am I expecting her to know everything? Maybe she just didn't want to be associated with Natsume.
Continuing with the story, I left her in the living room and I wet to the kitchen to take it. It's just that I took some time in finding it since the refrigerator was miraculously filled with foods. Maybe Aoi or Natsume's mother came- which is high doubtful since they live far from here.
At the living room, Hotaru seems to got bored in waiting that she decided to help Ruka in finding HER crab- flavored cheesecake. As she was walking towards the kitchen, someone grabbed her which made her back bumped in the wall.
"You-!!! What are you doing here you jerk?" Hotaru asked monotonously as she glared at Natsume. Natsume smirked and put his hand on both side of her head.
"Why? Didn't you know I lived in this mansion? Also, this palace is mine." He smirked at her while she remains emotionless.
"Oh, is that so? Pardon me but I wasn't interested in that particular detail that I decided to ignore it. Did it bother you?" she said as she slapped away his hands, not so gently.
"Oi! That hurts! How come your so brutal?! You bitc-!!!" Natsume said but he was cut off when Hotaru pulled out her Baka Gun and shot him. Once again he flew into the other end of the hallway. Hotaru smirked evilly as she blew out the smoke.
"Are you okay in there, Hyuuga-san??? Enjoying yourself or another more???" She said.
Natsume disregarding her femininity attacked her. She dodged everything skillfully and so is Natsume. While this scene is happening, Ruka is still having a hard time finding the cake oblivious on what's happening in the hallway.
"Hmmm,… where is it???" he asked himself… "Aha!!! I found you at last!!!" He took the cake beside the ice cream in the fridge.
"Hotaru, I found it! Sorry to have kept you wai-…" He almost dropped the cake if Hotaru didn't threaten him.
" Let go of that cake and I'll certainly make you buy another dozen of that!" She said while panting.
"Wha-? What happened here???" Ruka asked shocked. The clean hallway from before was full of burn marks of Hotaru's Baka Gun and Natsume's porcelain vases from abroad was broken. The paintings that were neatly placed were in the floor and the red carpet turned into a white and black one with lots of broken glass.
"Natsume!!! Hotaru!!! What in the world happened here?!?!"
...And that was the last time I took Hotaru in Natsume's mansion.
End of Flashback
"Ruka, are you thinking silly things? I have been calling you for almost a minute now." Hotaru said as she took a bite in her new- ordered crab ice cream.
"Wha-? How come you have that? When did you buy it?" Ruka asked confused. He was composing himself, especially his mind, for a proper conversation with her girlfriend or else she will think that something is wrong.
"When you're too busy daydreaming. I took your credit card." Hotaru said as she enjoys the ice cream in her mouth.
"Ruka, I told you that credit card is not really that useful. It will only make you have more debts than necessary. If I were you, I'll just probably use ATM." Hotaru said while sipping the melted ice cream.
"Don't worry, I can pay for it." Ruka said, smiling. Hotaru puts down the glass of ice cream then said, "Whatever."
*Rings (My Heart by Paramore)*
"Is that your phone?" Ruka asked. Hotaru nodded while finding her phone.
'Subaru??? Why would he call???' Hotaru thought when she found her phone. She pushed the answer button and said,
"Hello?"
*Pause*
"Yes, it's me."
*Pause*
"Nani?!"
*Pause*
"When?!"
*Pause*
"Why did you let her?!"
*Pause*
"What if something happens to her?!"
*Pause*
"Just be sure about that or else..."
*Pause*
Ruka was watching his girlfriend. This is not the first time he saw her shocked and threatening but this would be the first time he saw her worried and he wonder what is it that makes her worry.
"I still have your 'Black Box' so don't even think about doing that."
'She's blackmailing the caller.' Ruka thought while sweatdropping.
*Pause*
"Hai. Bye."
Hotaru sighed as she pressed the 'end' button. She still looks a bit worried and I think I should ask her why.
"Hota-" I was cut- off when she said the reason.
"My bestfriend is coming." Hotaru said.
"You should be happy." I told her.
"I am happy." She said worriedly.
"You don't look like even the least of it." I said. I still don't get it; why she have to be worried.
"You shouldn't get worried," I said, "She wouldn't die or something." I continued.
Then, something happened. She looked so shocked and I think I said something I shouldn't have said when she glared at me.
"Watch what you say. You don't know her yet." She said defensively. I was about to say sorry when she continued, "Yet... is there still enough time left for me?"
'Mikan'...
At some place...
*sneeze*
"My nose got itchy." an auburn- haired girl said while she was massaging her nose.
"Maybe somebody remembered you." Her mother, Yuka said.
"Oh,... Ok... This would be our house???" Mikan asked monotonously but deep inside she was surprised.
'It's too big!!! There are only two of us, how many maids do we have?' Mikan thought without even showing that she was surprised.
"Let's go to our rooms now, dearie... Oyasumi..." Her mother said as she kissed her goodnight.
"Oyasumi,..." She said...
