The Love Note
Chapter 4: Anima
"Message from ANNOYING GUY (Natsume)
Meet me at my house at 1:00 p.m. Be late and you'll die. Don't come and you'll die AND I'll revive you and kill you again.."
That guy! How dare he!! What does he need me for anyway!? I only became his girlfriend in a whim! I don't really like him and I know he just wants to mess with me!
I was about to leave my room when I noticed some angel guy trying to merge with the wall but failing miserably at it. I frowned at him.
Ruka sighed and smiled. "You found me."
"SAW. You weren't even hiding. What do you want now? Aren't you supposed to be grounded?"
He handed me a notebook. I took it and scanned it, just to find out it was the notebook where I wrote Natsume's name on. "The council said to give it to you. They said it was to 'make things easier' or something. I don't get them. I never do. Either way, you just have to find my sister and get the eraser from her."
I nodded my head then looked suspiciously at him. "I don't get it. Why don't you get the eraser? She's your sister right? Remember, I'm making you take responsibility for this mess."
"Ah, she's not at home. Recently, she's flying everywhere. I don't get along well with her too. But I will take responsibility, you know. You don't like Natsume, do you? Or.. Did that change?"
I shook my head vigorously. "NEVER! I HATE HIM!!!"
"That's good. I will let you meet someone. He's handsome, rich, famous, and all. I'll let both of you meet, although it's up to you to make him fall in love with you. He'll get rid of that Natsume for you. He's got real connections around the world."
I glared at him. "He's not some old geezer, is he? If he is, I'm going to kill you, grill you, and feed you to dogs."
"No, of course not." Ruka winked. "He's like the best guy you'll ever find in the whole Japan."
"Goodness, I'm going to prepare myself to meet a pervert."
"I suggest not using your body. It DEFINITELY won't work. Like, DEFINITELY DEFINITELY."
"Are you mocking me!?"
"Just saying. Your breast size is barely even an A."
"Just go!!! And I thought you were decent!"
He flew away, waving goodbye at me. I glanced at the clock. 12:50!! Crap! The arrogant guy is going to kill me!!!!
I rushed to his home, having a sandwich on my mouth. The scene was like someone rushing to school since that person is late. Well, as for me, I have no choice but to eat sandwich. I haven't taken lunch yet.
When I arrived, a humongous gate welcomed me. I shouted his name but got no reply. That bastard! The gate suddenly opened. Finally! What took him so late? I was expecting to see his ugly face behind the gate, but I saw two dogs instead. They started chasing me. I screamed in horror as I ran away from them.
"NATSUMEEEEEEEEE~~~~" I screamed. "YOU BASTARD!! HELP MEEEEEE~~~"
A chuckle resounded. I turned around, still running, to see Natsume smirking beside the gate. Hateful bastard, won't he help!?
He shouted, "Alpha! Bravo!"
Both dogs retreated to Natsume's side. I carefully walked towards him and asked, "Those are yours?"
"Yeah. Meet Alpha and Bravo. There's also Charlie, Delta, Foxtrot and the rest. They're hungry. Want to see them?"
"No thanks! You're obviously hinting that you'll feed me to them."
He chuckled. "You're smart enough to know? Amazing. Now, what's 1+1?"
I rolled my eyes. "Your ass."
He smiled, acting innocent. "Ah, wrong answer."
"WELL, DUH!"
I was about to ask him where he got my number when he used his dogs (sounds weird O.o) to force me to "shut the fuck up". What's the next weird phrase he'll use? Holy cow? Holy cows don't even exist. I mean, who would ask a priest to make a cow holy? What's the point? Are you going to just gaze in marvel at your almighty cow as he peacefully eats the grass on your backyard?
Anyway, *switches off random mode*, I shouted at Natsume, "I'm here to break up with you!"
He turned around and looked at me with surprised eyes. We stared at each other for a few seconds until he finally broke the silence, "Oh I forgot. Do you think I'm rich?"
I didn't have to look around and investigate. "Duh."
He grinned. "Well, of course. How did you think the teachers in school allowed us to paint red splatters on the walls? I paid them one million yen. Are you sure you want to break up with me? I'm making you pay it back."
At first, I thought he was joking, but the way he grinned told me he wasn't lying. "Seriously!? Isn't that too much?"
"Nope. What we did was destroying school property. The amount is just right. Oh, I remember. Your father works for my family's company. Want him to get fired?"
I scowled. "You devil!"
He grinned. "Well then, shall I take you to hell?"
In the end, I lost the battle. It was like Sparta anyways. Natsume led me to a huge room. I shuddered when I saw a woman sitting at the sofa. She was beautiful. I wonder who she is.
I hissed at Natsume, "Hey, why are you so desperate in making me your girlfriend when you already have her?"
Natsume glanced at me with a smirk on his face. "Jealous?"
"Talk about feeler."
Ignoring me, Natsume went up to the woman and hugged her. "Mother."
"Hello, son."
I gasped. Those two are mother and son!? No wonder Natsume is such a freak! He's probably a miserable child who loves his mother more than as a mother and is now suffering an unimaginable pain! How pitiful! HA!!! DIE NATSUME!! DIEEEEEEE!!!
Natsume signaled me to sit on the sofa as well. I did so, while grinning at him. He was surprised by my sudden behavior but kept his cool. Talking about, why did he bring me here?
His mother turned to me with a smile. "So you're Natsume's girlfriend?"
I uncomfortably answered, "Yes."
"How's he? Is he kind to you? A gentleman?"
I almost laughed, but I held it in. I smiled an angelic smile at her. "Oh yes, he is SOOOO kind! He's the best man I've ever met! He's child-like behavior is so CUTE that it KILLS me!! To the point where it chokes me to death and puts me under unimaginable torture!! Oh my, I think I'm in love with him!!!"
Natsume glared at me although his mother seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in my voice. She beamed at me in happiness. "Yes! Yes! Natsume, you've picked the right girl! I like her! When will you two get married? I can't wait to see my grandchildren!"
My jaw fell to the ground. Married? Grandchildren? Don't tell me she expects me to actually like her son! No offense, but I'd rather marry his dogs! (sounds weird.. again)
"Uhm," I replied, "we're still in highschool."
"Ah! Really? So what course will you take for college?"
Natsume glared at me. Oh God, he's going to strike back.
I was about to reply when Natsume replied for me, "Mother, she's taking up InterCourse." (please look up 'sexual intercourse' to understand)
That bastard!!! Her mother innocently replied, "Intercourse? I've never heard of such a course. Is it new?"
He winked at me. "Yes. It is VERY new."
After chatting awhile with her mother, of course, with Natsume and me still bickering secretly at each other, he led me out of the house.
"Where'd you get my phone number?" I asked him.
"Traced."
I frowned. He traced my number? How hideous of him. I'll just change my number then.
"Oh and, you can try changing your number as much as you like. It's not like you can stop me from tracing it anyway."
I glared at him. Can he read minds!? What's he now? A soothsayer?
"Why do you want me as your girlfriend anyway!? I may be beautiful and all…"
"Hey… that's your vanity going to far."
"Then WHY!?"
He looked at me with eyes of seriousness. "Because it's fun."
We fell into utter silence. "How can you say such a thing with that serious expression on!? UGH! I'm leaving!!!"
He smirked and waved his hand. I rolled my eyes and stomped away, angry. What a troublesome guy. Pisses me off.
On my way home, I stumbled upon a guy on a bridge, ready to suicide. I couldn't see his face due to the cap covering his face. I rolled my eyes. I'm currently pissed off and here I see a guy ready to die. Then die!!! Like I care! But as I passed by him, My conscience started to bug me.. bug me real good, and I wasn't in the mood for bugs either.
I turned around and grabbed his shoulder. He looked at me in shock, his cap flying off, leaving his face exposed. He was handsome, really. I'd really appreciate it if I hadn't been annoyed by Natsume like just five minutes ago. Natsume's face has a strong impression, you see. An impression of a person who might cut your throat and then laugh loudly at you.
"What are you doing?" the guy asked me. "Can't you leave me alone?"
"Alright."
I let go of his shoulder then turned around. I tried to help him but he didn't want it. That should do, right? Like, it's actually bad to force something upon someone. But my conscience bugged me again. Argh! This day is screwed up already anyways, so let's just screw it up till the end!
I faced the guy again and held his shoulder. "On a second thought, would you please refrain from committing suicide? One less troublesome person doesn't stop the fact that we'd be dying on 2012."
"What suicide? I'm just standing here. Who told you about me committing suicide?"
I stared at him for a few seconds, dumbfounded. "AH! Anyway, seeing you so miserable here doesn't make me feel better, so why don't we just eat our troubles away?"
I started dragging him towards a store. I was expecting him to scream "AHHHHH! I'm being kidnapped!!!" or something, but he just kept quiet. How queer. We bought food from the store and ate at the playground. It was hilarious. I can't believe I'm eating at a playground with a stranger.
He just gazed at me the whole time we were eating. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and asked him, "What?"
He repeated the question, "What?"
"Why are you staring at me?"
"I just find you weird. Do you normally drag a sad stranger and eats with him or is it just a weird habit of yours?"
I flinched then blushed. "Ah, sorry. That was just out of the blue. I was pissed off and.. I might have gone overboard."
To my surprise, he smiled. "My name is Anima."
"Mikan here. Nice to meet you."
He stood up. "I had fun today because of you. I have to go though . Thanks. We will see each other again."
There was a glint in his eye that seemed to show his interest. I smiled back regardless of my observation. He shouldn't be a bad guy.
Anima.. it was a familiar name.
