Red Lining
Chapter 2
Natsume had an evil smirk plastered on his rockstar face.
His face showing that he was, indeed, planning a scheme.
A plot for Mikan Sakura.
Yeah, for that Mikan Sakura.
That stupid little girl, who got the CD, he was longing for, away from his hands.
Just remembering that milestone, he wanted to get/steal that CD away from her all the more.
He wanted to kill her… slowly!
"BWAHAHA!" Natsume laughed like a butcher ready to cut his next victim—I mean his so-called meat.
His bandmates, including their manager, Tsubasa, sweat dropped as they saw Natsume getting insane.
Tsubasa looked at Ruka and had a quizzical look on his face. "What just happened awhile ago?"
Ruka looked up at his manager and shrugged his shoulders.
He then looked at his friend. He didn't know what happened earlier, he just saw his friend coming through the coffee shop with his hand empty.
"Maybe, just got a little crazy because the CD he wanted wasn't in the store. But now that you've thought of it, he was saying something about a stupid little girl..." Ruka said.
He knew something was up but he didn't know what…
Yeah that Mikan Sakura… Natsume thought.
Shall pay.
Shall pay because of everything she had done.
Because of getting that CD off of me.
Because of not knowing who the hell I was!
Natsume couldn't stop himself.
He wanted to burn her hair until she gets bald.
He wanted to tie her upside down and let animals eat her alive.
Of course, he could be in prison because of that.
But it was still sweet vengeance…
Yes, it was a really sweet revenge.
His thoughts burst as he heard his manager calling out to him.
"Yeah?"
"There's two girls here saying that you gave them two free passes?" Tsubasa said his mind kept jarring around.
What was happening today?
"Ah… let them in the other room."
Tsubasa couldn't move.
What did he just say?
Natsume's band mates looked at him with shock.
Natsume was always the person to complain when they had to socialize with fans, but what the hell is happening?
They all just stared at Natsume who was busy writing down something.
"Why did you give those two girls, free passes?" Tsubasa asked.
"No reason."
Tsubasa was shocked. This was the first time, in history, that Natsume Hyuuga had given two free tickets to two girls (not one but two), for no reason at all!
Tsubasa's jaw dropped.
This day is so weird.
Just thinking about it, his skin started to rise up.
Tsubasa went out slowly.
Ruka looked at Natsume.
His eyes, getting bigger.
This was so unreal!
Of all the people, Natsume!
But Natsume hates girls!
-----
Mikan clutched the VIP pass, which was now around her neck, while Hotaru started talking to the manager.
She shouldn't have come here.
She was just going to get killed.
Oh God, she was just 16 years old!
She can't die, now!
"Okay, follow me." Tsubasa said cutting Mikan's train of thoughts.
Mikan slowly followed with Hotaru ahead of her.
How could Hotaru be so cruel to me!
She practically half-dragged me here.
If I could just get—
"May I ask how my little Natsume gave you two free VIP passes?" Tsubasa asked.
"Well, my friend here," Hotaru started. "Started a fight with your 'little Natsume…'"
Mikan's face turned to a color which was same as the red chili peppers she had seen in the poster at the supermarket. "Hotar—"
Before Mikan could speak, Hotaru covered her mouth.
"So what was this fight about?" Tsubasa asked, his eyes twinkling.
"About a CD the two wanted."
Tsubasa placed his right hand on his forehead. "So that's what bothering Natsume."
"What do you mean?" Hotaru said still covering the mouth of her, child-like friend.
"Well nothing. Just please wait here." Tsubasa said and left.
Finally Hotaru let her hands fall away from Mikan's slimy mouth. "Yuck."
"You're so mean Hotaru! I was the first one who got that CD!"
"But still you had a fight with a rockstar. You should say sorry later."
"Sorry for what? I'm not going—"
"Ready to give me a long apology?" Natsume said, his back against the doorframe.
Mikan stared at the boy she had gotten a fight with just awhile ago.
"Why should I?" Mikan retorted.
Natsume ignored her and eyed her small bag. "And have you forgotten something?"
"What?" Mikan asked, anger raging from her face.
Natsume held out his hands, "The CD."
Mikan exploded. "It's still mine!"
"Not it wasn't. I got that first and you got it from me."
"You got that wrong! You got it first from me!"
"I think your head must have slammed into something. It was the other way around."
"AAARRGH! I'm so—"
"Well, good evening to the both of you." A blond guy from behind Natsume said, his head bowed like that of a gentleman giving respect to a lady.
Mikan looked at him and didn't recognize him at all.
"I guess you two don't know me… I'm—"
"You're Ruka Nogi, the bassist of Red lining."
Ruka looked at the girl with black hair. He smiled. "Yeah, but you two can call me Ruka. And you two must be?"
"I'm Mikan Sakura and this is my friend Hotaru Imai." Mikan shouted cheerfully.
"Tch. Let's get out of here Ruka. We only have a few minutes till the shows on." Natsume walked away. "And by the way, if you still wouldn't give that CD back to me, you might as well get stuck here."
Mikan's temper burst again. "Why you!"
Natsume shut the door before he could even hear another word from the stupid girl.
"So how would you get that CD from her?" Ruka asked, as he finally understood what was bothering his friend.
"Just wait and see…"
"Do you even have a plan?" Ruka asked again.
"No."
Ruka sweat dropped again.
---------
"Aaargghhh! I'm going to kill him!"
"Fine. I'm just going to the VIP seats, the shows going to start. See you there."
Mikan nodded.
After a whole 10 minutes, a light bulb emerged from her head.
'Now I got an idea… it's show time."
Mikan left the room that was supposed to be locked so that she and Hotaru won't escape and started to look for the way to the media room.
----------
"And now," The speaker announced while the audience shouted. "Here's Red Lining!"
People started shouting their names. The fans, which were mostly girls, got their posters and shouted at the top of their lungs Natsume's name.
Natsume started singing, what he didn't know was something was about to happen...
----------
Mikan, who was desperate for revenge, looked around her if the coast was clear. She knew the concert was starting and went inside the media room.
For some reason, no one was around the room and this gave her a chance to do what she was planning.
"Now let me see…" Mikan said to herself, flipping through the CD's around.
"There… That's what I'm looking for." Mikan got the CD entitled, 'funny voices for singers'
"Now, where's that baby voice…?"
She finally found what she looking for.
"Now it's my turn." Mikan said, horns coming out from her hair.
The sound from the stage stopped without her noticing.
She opened the compact disc and put on the CD.
"No we shall make your voice into a baby!" She said and pressed then play button.
The CD was loading and before she could continue, a voice from behind suddenly scared the hell out of her.
"And just what are you doing?"
Mikan turned around and saw Natsume smirking.
"Uh… nothing."
"I knew you were up to no good." Natsume said.
Before she can do anything, Natsume carried her like a sack of rice and threw her outside of the media room and into the backstage exit.
He, then, pulled the CD from her bag and said, "This is your punishment for doing that to me. This CD is mine now."
With that, Natsume shut the door with a loud slam.
Natsume went back to the media room and saw that she was about to make his voice like a baby.
"So that's your plan huh?" Natsume thought out loud pulling the CD from the compact disc. "I got the CD, anyway."
---------
Mikan stood up, looking at the closed door.
"We're not yet finish Natsume Hyuuga… I'm GONNA GET MY CD BACK!"
To be continued. Please read and review!
