Hola! I'm back! Thanks for the support! And sorry for updating late, but I promised that I'll make it long right? So I need a little more time than usual. It's not much but I still hope you'll be entertained.

Title: A Hated Matched Marriage

Chapter 9: Cousin Youichi

"Natsume!!"

"What is it, ugly hag?"

"Look at this!" She said pointing at the dirty dishes.

"What about them?" He yawned.

"I thought we already agreed that every other day you'd clean the dishes!" Mikan shouted.

"What? It's you're turn, ugly hag. I just washed the dishes yesterday."

"No you didn't! I washed them! You were talking to your friends about something that doesn't concern me! So I was bored as I found dirty dishes and washed them."

"You idiot, I talked to my friends the day before yesterday."

"It was yesterday!"

He sighed, "Fine, I'll do the dishes even though I already did them yesterday, I don't want to hear your pricky little voice, ugly hag." He said.

"Hmph!"

"Oh and by the way, my cousin is visiting. Don't do stupid things even though I already know you would, he gets easily irritated when it comes to ugly old hags like you."

"What! Your cousin's coming? I haven't prepared!!"

"You don't have to prepare anything, idiot. Just keep quiet and maybe he'll spare your miserable life."

"Spare my--?"

Ding Dong

"He's here." Natsume said, "Get the door,"

"Why should I?"

"Do you see what I'm doing?"

"…"

"Fine,"

Mikan went to the door and opened it, she saw a boy at about ten years old 'Kawaii! He's so cute! I bet Natsume was just joking about the sparing my life thing.'

"Why hello," Mikan said as she bent down and offered her hand.

"You must be Natsume's cou--?"

"Don't talk to me, ugly old hag." He said walking passed Mikan.

Mikan's lip twitched, 'What the!' She was still on that position.

"Oh and by the way, ugly hag, I don't like the color of your panty." He said

'What the hell?' She thought as she realized that when she bent down to face him, a little space between her legs reveals a little pink cloth.

'The humiliation! Humiliation! My life is miserable.'

'That rat is just like him! But I can't say he's a rat, he's too cute to be a rat. Mr. Humiliation, please pity me next time.' She thought as she stood up. When she went to the kitchen he saw Youichi staring at Natsume.

"Nastume onii-chan, can you bake a cake for me?"

"I don't know how to bake, Youichi. Ask the hag if she knows, if she does, maybe she'll be useful to you, but if anything that hag upsets you, just call me and I'll make the ugly old hag to go away." Natsume said

'Ugly old hag?' Mikan clenched her fists

"Okay," He said as he went to Mikan

"Hey, Ugly, do you know how to bake?"

Mikan snapped into reality, "Yes, would you like me to bake one for you?"

Youichi nodded in response, "Okay, what flavor would you like?" Mikan asked.

"Strawberry,"

"Hmm? That's my favorite flavor, and I make that more delicious than other flavors, good choice, Youichi." She said as she was about to pat his head…

"Don't touch me, hag."

"Eh…h-hai…" Mikan said

Mikan wore her apron and tied her hair, "Now, Youichi-kun, do you want to learn how to bake?"

"No, I just want you to bake, not teach me how to bake, sheesh, you're a one stupid old hag."

'It was just a question!'

"O-okay then…" She said as she started to beat the eggs and whipped the cream, and some flour went on her face "Geez, you're one clumsy hag." Youichi said.

"Oh, gee, thanks for the compliment." She said wiping sweat from her forehead.

A couple one minutes later…

"Taa-daa!!" Mikan shouted, "It's done!"

"No its not, you still haven't put it in the oven yet. Are you sure it's done, if it is, then what you're doing isn't baking."

"Yeah, I know that!" Mikan shouted, "So stop nagging, for a ten year old you sure do nag a lot!"

Youichi glared at her, "I was just joking, ehehehe…" Mikan said

"So it should take us… fifteen minutes, after that, we'll eat the whole thing, bwahaha!!!" Mikan shouted.

"What's with the laugh? It's really annoying, stop it." He demanded.

She sighed, "Sir yes sir…"

Fifteen minutes

Cling

"At last, it's done!" Mikan shouted.

"About time,"

Mikan took the cake from the oven and removed the foil around the cake and took a knife and cut it into eight pieces

"Looks delicious…" Youichi said

"Ahaha! It doesn't just look delicious but it will taste delicious!" Mikan said

"You brag too much…" Youichi said

"Okay, so I'll let you taste it first, say 'ah'."

Youichi opened his mouth and a piece of cake entered, "Hmm, not bad." He munched.

"See! Told ya I was good at baking!"

"Natsume onii-chan!" Yuoichi shouted.

"What is it Youichi?" Natsume said as he entered the kitchen, his face looks shocked when he saw Mikan was covered all over by flour.

"Does it looks delicious?" He asked

"Yeah, it looks delicious…" Natsume said staring at Mikan,

Youichi looked at him confused, "Natsume nii-chan, how can you say it looks delicious when you're staring at her?"

"W-what I meant is the food Youichi, I looked at the food and said that before I looked at her with disgust." Natsume said

"What!"

"You looked like crap, girlie." Natsume said

"Hmph! I don't care!"

"Can you taste this?" Youichi asked giving him a piece

"Of course, Youichi." He said as he took a bite.

'It actually tastes good.'

"What do you think?" Youichi asked.

"Not bad actually, for an idiot like you, you're pretty much good at baking." Natsume said

"Yeah, thanks…" Mikan said as her lips curved

'Why the hell did she smile?'

"So why don't we eat the whole thing now!" Mikan said.

"Whatever." They both said
