A Hated Matched Marriage

Tsubame Sakura

Chapter 11: Beach!

-Mikan's POV-

It was eleven thirty in the morning, I sat down beside Youichi and watched National Geographic, we saw dolphins and different kinds of sea fishes, Youichi seems kind of interested in them, I looked at him and smiled and went back to watching the show.

"Let's go to the beach." He suddenly said to me, I looked at him again and I raised an eyebrow.

"But Youichi-kun, there's already a beach outside." I said, "Why don't you just swim there?"

"Because… there are no dolphins there," He said still looking at the dolphins.

"And besides, maybe I won't see fishes there." He growled.

"What? Of course you'll see fishes there, it's a sea!" I said, I looked at him again I think he really likes to go to the beach.

"…"

I sighed, "So… do you have any swimming trunks?" I asked him, he looked at me and his face lightened up.

"Of course I do, what are you and idiot?" He left me as my jaw dropped open.

'I already agreed on going to a different beach and this is how he repay me?!'

"Hey, Natsume." I called him and I looked outside and saw him sitting on a bench looking at the seashore.

"What is it, baka?"

"Tsk, anyway, pack your things; we're going to the beach." I told him angrily, he looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"What for, the beach is just in front of us."

"No, you idiot, Youichi wants to see the dolphins, there's no dolphins here." I said, my hands on my waist.

"So, better pack up." I said, and left.

"Idiot."

Minutes passed…

"Hey, old hag, Natsume nii-chan… let's go, let's go!" Youichi shouted waiting outside the house.

'I can't do this… our school starts next week! I won't be able to survive.' I thought, wiping the sweat out of my forehead, I wore a spaghetti strap shirt and shorts, together with sandals… of course.

"God, it's hot." Natsume said getting on the car.

"Youichi, I don't know why we have to do this." He said looking at him in the back sit while I sat beside Natsume.

"We have our own beach there in front." Youichi looked at him and then looked at his feet.

"Natsume, he just wants to have a fun vacation remember he's only staying here he'll leave tomorrow so give him a chance." I told him, as Natsume just turned around and started to drive.

"So what beach?" I asked.

"Okinawa," Youichi said.

"W-why?"

"Because… I want it there." He said, I sweatdropped and just turned around to face Natsume who's face is still… emotionless as ever.

-End of POV-

-Okinawa resort-

"Whoah…" Mikan looked at the ocean and was amazed by its beauty, her eyes are sparkling in excitement and hands cupped together.

"Ne, ne Natsume, isn't it beautiful?" She said, looking at him while pointing at the ocean.

"Nothing…much," He said, "It's just the sea, polka-dots; it's nothing to be amazed about."

"What! It should be amazed by us because God himself created it!" Mikan said looking up in the sky, "Kami-sama, arigatou!" She said with her sparkling eyes.

He sighed as he turned around, "Where's Youichi?" He asked, when heard him she turned around too to look for him.

"Hey… I don't know—"

"Natsume nii-chan, Mikan look the water here is so nice." Youichi said playing in the water.

Mikan smiled and was happy he finally called her by her first name, "He must be really happy that he went here." Mikan said.

"Hn."

"So…hey wait," Mikan said "We haven't checked in a hotel yet!" she shouted.

"Oh yeah, forgot about that. You stay here and watch Youichi while I'll get a hotel room."

"Okay… will you be alright with these luggage?" Mikan asked, helping him get their bags.

"I'll be fine, you worry too much."

She said as he left, "I'm not worried you fool!" She shouted, her face turned light pink, she went where Youichi was. "Hmph!"

A couple of minutes later, Natsume went back to the beach and was surprised on what he saw, he saw Mikan in a pink bikini playing with a little boy splashing water at them, cute huh? "No." Hey!

"Hey, Natsume… there sure are many people here in Okinawa today…" Mikan said walking towards him. While he just stared at her.

"Natsume?" She said as she smiled, "C'mon let's swim together with Youichi."

"No thanks." He said, Mikan frowned, "Mou… c'mon, I know it'll be fun." She said.

"I said no thanks." He said and glared at her.

"Go on and play with Youichi."

"Hmph!" She growled, "Demo he sure looks like a six year old… he's already nine." Mikan said.

"Hn…"

"Anyway… there are stores here, why don't we check them out later, you know for Hotaru and you're friend Ruka?" She said.

"Why don't you go by yourself?"

"Why? I pity Ruka-kun… he has a best friend who didn't even got him a souvenir when we're at the beach… don't worry Natsume, Ruka will understand if you didn't give him any…" She provoked him.

"Of course he will." He said as she fell anime-style, 'I didn't expect that would be his answer.'

"But… since it is summer and I haven't seen him in a long time… fine, I'll go with you and Youichi." He said she gave him a smile, "Thanks!"

"Hey, idiot! Come here, I want you to see something." Youichi said, Mikan looked at him and went to where Youichi was.

"What is it?" She asked looking at what Youichi was holding he was holding a common starfish; the color of it was dark blue that fits the sea perfectly.

"Hey, isn't that… but that kind of starfish only lives in deep oceans… why is it here?" She asked him.

"How should I know… it was just laying there." He said.

Mikan gasped and shook her head, "Could it be… is it dead?"

"No, you idiot. You'll know when the starfish is dead or alive, this one's alive because it still has its color if it's not it should be colored grey or either white." Youichi said.

She giggled, "You're so smart Youichi-kun," She said patting him on the head, "So… are you going to keep it?"

"No, it's better of in the sea." He said, "If I kept it, it wouldnt live for long."

"I thought you would say that." Mikan said smiling at him.

"Hn…" He mumbled as he went deeper to release the starfish, "It looks really beautiful." He said, "So… where is Natsume nii-chan?"

"Hmm… I suppose he's just there." She said pointing at a bar near them.

"Why don't we go with him, I am a little thirsty." He said going out of the water, "Sure." Mikan agreed she went out of the water and followed Youichi to Natsume.

"Natsume nii-chan, I like to have a slurpy." Youichi said.

"Ice tea, onegai," Mikan said, he sighed and ordered what they asked for we sat down beside him. "So… where are we gonna stay?" She asked, drinking her drink.

"There," He said pointing at the hotel in front of them, "The girl said the there's a lot of people here in Okinawa today so…we… have to stay in one room."

"Oh…" Mikan said still drinking her drink, "One room huh?" She stopped, "Okay, sure—"

"ONE ROOM?!!"
