Sumi-chan: Yo! I'm back with chapter 7, now who wants cookies?

Mikan: ME!!!

Sumi-chan: HA! Well, forget about it! These are mine!!!!!

Mikan: What the-! This is a hold-up, now give me the cookies or you die, Bitch!!

Sumi-chan and Natsume's face were like this =.='

Nastume: Who the hell are you?

Mikan: I'm your mother from hell!

Hotaru: Oh yeah! I forgot, Mikan has a crazy craving for cookies.

Sumi-chan: You should have told me that earlier!!

Hotaru: I forgot but wait don't you also have a craving for cookies?

Sumi-chan: Hehehehe (turns around creepily) Do I? Maybe I do. WAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Chapter 7 This Spells War

Mikan's POV

As Hotaru, Nonoko, Anna and I were across the hallway chatting, well mostly Nonoko and Anna do the babbling, Mikan was eating jellybeans and nodding her head pretending to be listening, while Hotaru was just taking down notes for her next class.

Suddenly, girls were screaming even Nonoko and Anna were screaming; and they were just right in front of us, the only ones who weren't screaming were Hotaru and I, we were just covering our ears, then Hotaru offered me some ear plugs…..with a price, I knew it was too good to be true.

The doors suddenly swung open and in came the Shadowed Devils, the screams were getting louder and louder and it hurt my ears as they walked past by them making every single girl they walked past by faint. 'Arrogant brats.'

Then suddenly, Natsume stopped right in front of me and winked and smirked at me then continued down the hallway.

"Oh My God! Mi-chan, Spill the beans!!" Anna and Nonoko shouted.

'I knew this was going to happen.' Then I dropped the jelly beans I was eating.

"We didn't mean that literally! We were going to ask you what happened between you and the most hunkalicious hottie hot hottie in the whole academy." They said.

"They way you say about him makes me wanna puke and there's perfectly nothing going in between us." I said nonchalantly and sighed, "I can't believe you are also a fan of him."

"Well, not particularly, though I think Koko is much better than him." Anna said dreamily and sighed.

"No, he's not Ruka-kun is better and he's so cute!" Nonoko replied and also sighed dreamily.

"How about you, Hotaru?" They asked Hotaru.

Hotaru thought for a moment.

"They're all just rich arrogant bastards in my eyes, though they really do sell a lot of money, I can make good use of them." Hotaru answered with dollar signs on her eyes. They sweat dropped.

'As expected of Hotaru.'

Normal POV

Then the doors swung open again, and in came in Luna and her cronies, she sent a piercing glare at Mikan's direction, but she didn't flinch; she just blankly stared at her as she watched her walk down the hall with her cronies.

"Mikan-chan, you've got to be careful, Luna's going to do everything to destroy you even if it's the last thing she'll do!" Nonoko warned her.

"Yeah, you've got to believe her, she'll kill anyone in her way to becoming the top and she'll also kill you if she sees you get an inch close to Natsume!" Anna shuddered in fright.

"The last time a girl flirted with Natsume, Luna confronted her and the next day, she was already in a hospital with all kinds of scars around her, and she got into a coma and didn't wake up until a month!" They said.

"So? Don't worry; I don't back down from a challenge, I mean, I studied martial arts as long as I can remember, so I won't let Luna leave a single scratch on me." Mikan smiled at them with her rare smile telling them not to worry about her, but deep inside she was shivering with fear when she heard the story.

They still didn't look relieved, but it lifted some of their worries when they saw her smile.

As the bell rang, it signaled the end of lunch time, Anna suddenly asked, "Mi-chan, Hotaru-chan can I see your schedules?"

They gave her their schedules, then she said, "We all have 2 classes together, Nonoko and I practically have all the same classes together so Nonoko, Mikan and I have the same classes in Singing, Dancing, and Acting, while Hotaru and you have the same classes in, Singing, Music History, and Acting, that means we only have singing and acting altogether."


As they separated, Mikan and Hotaru went into the dance room. It was vast and spacious, wooden benches were lined neatly, huge mirrors surrounded the side walls, a small white grand piano stood at the end of the room, and the room was air-conditioned. Large shelves filled with CDs of different varieties were on one side of the room. Bright, fluorescent light bulbs lightened the room.

They sat on one of the benches near the back so they can avoid being called by the teacher. As students filled in the classroom, the door swung open; and in came in Luna and her cronies still in her slutty outfit. Mikan wondered how she can dance in those clothes. She prayed that Luna wasn't going to bother her, but it looks like her prayer wasn't answered.

"Well, well, lookie her, if it isn't little missie Sakura." A sickly, sweet mocking voice said. Mikan looked up. Luna Koizumi stood in her, arms crossed, sneering with her face twisted in mixture of disgust, hatred, jealousy, and fear. Well, obviously, after what she had done in the fifth chapter, who wouldn't be terrified.

As Luna kept babbling like fool, Hotaru held Mikan's hand tightly and told her to ignore Luna. As Mikan kept silent, Luna was slowly beginning to lose her patience and then she finally snapped.

"Look here you brat –" Luna paused as the door opened and in came in the dance instructor then she continued, "-I'm warning you, Stay .Away. From. Natsume-kun. If you know what's good for you." She emphasized every word as suddenly all the other students were listening to their conversation.

"Gladly." Mikan simply but sweetly replied, Luna looked as if she was slapped.

"And another thing-" Luna said.

"Another one, Luna? Cause you know I'm very tame." Mikan replied tilting her head mockingly. All the students laughed and cheered for her as Luna's face turned tomato red from embarrassment.

"You! -" Luna said but she was interrupted by the teacher.

"Settle down now kids." The teacher told them.

"I'll remember this." Luna glared at Mikan.

Their teacher was tall, his long brown hair tied into a little ponytail at the back of his nape, and his mystical black eyes surveyed the room with a scrutinizing stare.

Then after their teacher's inspection, his face suddenly broke into a goofy smile. "Yo yo yo! Wazzup, wazzup, wazzup, the name's Ryuuichi Hiiragizawa, just call me Ryuu. Pleasure to meet ya'll" he said cheerfully.

The students replied back with a cheer. Mikan certainly didn't expect this, at first, he seemed like a strict teacher, but once you get to know him, he's a really fun teacher, but still annoying." She sighed with relief. Hotaru explained that Ryuuichi was the most cheerful teacher in this academy, and the most loved teacher by the students.

As the teacher was in the middle of talking, the doors slammed open and in came Natsume and his gang. Girls were squealing and Luna treaded over to the boys.

"Natsume-kun, finally, I'm so glad to see you, Sakura bullied me again even though I didn't do anything to her, and can you please teach her a lesson for me?" She purred and batting her eyelashes and clinging to the handsome lad. Natsume looked at her as if she was a piece of disgusting cockroach he would love to flick off, which he did, at some rate. He peeled her off me, pushing her roughly.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from me you digusting cow? And two words, Breath mints." He walked off, not caring if he had humiliated the girl or not.

Natsume and his gang headed toward the back where Mikan and Hotaru where seated. Once he reached there, he glared at the other people seating; telling them to scram. The people stood up and left their seats immediately fearing what he would do to them if the didn't do what he said. Mikan sighed at their actions. Natsume smirked inching closer to where Mikan was seating and Mikan, on the other hand, remembered Luna's warning and inched farther away. Natsume grew restless and glared at her to stay put. But Mikan wasn't affected at all, she was enjoying this game.

Hotaru noticed this and sat between Natsume and Mikan to end the game. Hyuuga swore glaring at Hotaru, but Hotaru did nothing but gave her own frigid glare. Natsume flinced, this was the second girl who did that to her, Mikan was the first girl. Mikan smirked, thanking Hotaru in her mind.

"Natsume-kun, pls refrain from destroying the doors, I pity those poor repairmen who keeps fixing those broken doors, and you're not the one paying you know?" The teacher complained.

Natsume didn't give a damn and just grunted in reply.

"All right, class, don't worry I won't separate you to groups, it just makes it harder for me to identify you all." Ryuu said.

Mikan sighed in relief; she was afraid that she was going to be mixed up with Luna or Natsume and separate from Hotaru.

"Before you start dancing, I want to ask ya'll, What is dancing?" Ryuu asked.

A lot of hands were raised, but he didn't call anyone, instead he said, "It's a theoretical question, you're not supposed to answer it."

The students laughed.

"Dancing is not just about showing your skills and competing in about who's the best dancer, it's about enjoying the music, moving your body rhythmically to the beats of the music. Enjoying it. Let the the music flow through your body and dance. That's the meaning of dancing." He explained.

All of us were amazed, it actually makes real sense.

"So this year, it's not about who'd the best dancer, it's about enjoying music, okay?" he said.

"Yeah!" The whole class replied excluding the main characters.

"Now, let's see who wants to dance first?" Ryuu asked.

A lot of people raised there hands, but Ryuu didn't call them, instead he called Natsume as a punishement for coming in late even if he didn't raise his hand.

"Show me how you improved this year, Mr. Hyuuga." Ryuu said, eyeing Natsume and his gang.

"My Pleasure." Hyuuga replied with a smirk on his face making the girls excluding Mikan and Hotaru swoon over him and scream his name. He had actually longed for Hiiragizawa to come over.

He walked toward the CD shelves and took his time in choosing his particular choice. He browsed through the whole collection, finally deciding on one CD. Heading toward the CD player which is placed on top of the grand piano, he slid the CD in the CD compartment before closing it.

He turned, aware of the eyes following his every move. He smirked; how he loved all the attention. He would show her, she would see that he was perfect, the best for her.

He nodded towards his gang. They grinned knowingly and followed toward the center of the room. People made space for them, knowing what was to come. His gaze drifted toward Mikan, whose face showed nothing but anticipation. He smirked mischievously and winked at her.

The music started.

Beats of the music flowed from the CD player and echoed through the rest of the room.

Natsume smirked. He would show them, but most importantly he would show her.

The Way I Are – Timbaland feat. Keri Hilson, D.O.E.

[Verse 1: Timbaland]
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we can be the perfect soul mates
Talk to me girl

[Bridge: Keri Hilson]
Baby, it's alright, now you ain't gotta floss for me
If we go there, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

[Chorus: Keri Hilson & (Timbaland)]
Baby if you strip, you could get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I are?
I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
And let me see ya strip, you could get a tip
'Cause I like

[Verse 2: Timbaland]
I ain't got no Visa
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic
It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best
Talk to me girl

[Bridge 2: Keri Hilson]
Baby, it's alright, now you ain't gotta floss for me
If we go there, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

[Chorus: Keri Hilson & (Timbaland)]
Baby if you strip, you could get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I are?
I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
And let me see ya strip, you could get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are

[Verse 3: D.O.E.]
Baby girl

So listen baby girl
Once you get a dose of D.O.E.
You gon' want some mo'
So listen baby girl
When I make it I want you back
Want you back, yeah

Mikan's eyes widened as she watched Natsume, and his gang dance to the beat of the song. Especially Natsume. He definitely improved than the first time she saw him dance. His body moved to the beat smoothly and effortlessly.

He finished it off with one incredible move, and Mikan was tempted to applaud with the rest of the people. But she didn't. However much she wanted to, she didn't. She wasn't supposed to. She would later feel guilty for applauding for the jerk he was, and she would bet her life that he would think he had impressed her if she had clapped for him. So she didn't, and remained her blank, bored face. But the sparkle in her eyes was clearly evident.

Natsume took a long glance at Mikan from the corner of his eye. He was not pleased at all by her expression. But, to his delight that is not shown in his face, he saw how impressed she was in her eyes, which gleamed at his direction, even though she didn't show it. His days of practicing everyday definitely paid off. He smirked, winking at her. Though she didn't care.

Luna looked at him and winked, she wouldn't let Mikan have all the attention. But Natsume didn't spare a single glance at her, for he was busy smirking at Mikan. She turned red, not from embarrassment, but from anger, directed toward little Miss Sakura.

Hiiragizawa coughed, and all attention was back to him, he nodded, taking some notes down his clipboard looking impressed. "Very Good, Hyuuga! You've improved faster than last year!" He praised him.

Hyuuga just grunted in response, he didn't care about his opinion, all he cared about is impressing her.

"Next!" He shouted, and browsed the whole class to see who would dance next then his eyes landed on an unfamiliar student.

"You!" He pointed towards Mikan, "New Student, Mikan Sakura, I presume?"

She nodded.

"Will you kindly show as what you've got?" Ryuu smirked at her direction.

"My pleasure." She smirked back.

She headed towards the CD shelf and immediately found a CD that she liked. She immediately slid it in the CD compartment and played it.

Then she stopped in a complicated pose. The class was silent then they burst into applause and cheers; Natsume was amazed, she also improved than the last time he saw her dance.

Hiiragizawa coughed, and the attention was back at him. "EXCELLENT! It was the most beautiful dance I have ever seen!" He complimented her.

Mikan shrugged and walked back to her seat.

Luna was also amazed but it didn't show on her face, she was actually better than her, but she wouldn't admit it. Anger boiled inside her, how dare she be better than her in both singing AND dancing. She would show her, she's the best in Acting classes.

As the rest of the day goes on, Luna was completely and utterly served. Their drama teacher was impressed with Mikan's acting skills and made Mikan their lead actress and Natsume their lead actor, she was supposed to get that part, she was supposed to be the lead actress, but then Mikan came and ruined everything.

When they were all in the hallway, Luna declared right in front of her. "THIS SPELLS WAR, Sakura!" She screeched and declared it to the whole school.

"I highly doubt that you can even spell war." Mikan replied nonchalantly.

Snorts of laughter were filled in the hallway, she was humiliated again.

"I challenge you to a battle!" Luna shouted.

"I'll accept it, when and where." Mikan replied.

"At the Lobby, tomorrow on 3:00pm, don't worry this will be a fair match." Luna said confidently, she was very sure that she would win.

"No Problemo. I have nothing to do anyways, just be prepared to meet your defeat." Mikan smirked and headed back to her room.

Mikan didn't feel nervous or scared instead, she thought of a word that has been repeatedly said, 'Interesting…'


Sumi-chan: Well, that's it for the 7th chapter.

Mikan: I finally got the cookies!

Sumi-chan: I don't know who you are anymore!!! Anyways, what will happen in the next chapter, who do you think will win? I know I didn't write what happened on Drama Class because it's already late, and I have to go to sleep, or else my mom will ground me from using the computer.

Natsume: You deserved that anyways.

Sumi-chan: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!

Natsume: Nothing!

Sumi-chan: I thought so, pls. review!!!!
