Hotaru

Those two are idiots to think they could hide it from me. I had known they were finally together the second Kana had agreed. I'd placed a bug on her just before I left but I bet she didn't notice.

I'd also procured a video of them making out. A few have already bought the video but I've sworn them to secrecy about the fact that Kana and Hyuuga are together. I've also threatened them that if they show the video to other people without my consent, I will release a certain picture about them.

"And if you shall even try, yes, try to show this to any other person, try to reproduce, even the thought of making money off of MY merchandise, I will make sure that you will never, never, be able to rise in the social ladder ever again and your whole life you shall be labeled as the lowest of the low." I threatened Nogi as he shivered in his place. "Think about it this way, by defying me, you commit social suicide."

"Y-yes, Imai." He nodded furiously as his hands trembled holding the DVD of Kana and Hyuuga. He didn't really pay with money, he 'offered' his services to me as my latest object for my merchandise, aside from Kana and Hyuuga that is.

"What do you need it for anyway?" I inquired as I delicately raised my brow.

"I want a way out every time Natsume asks me to do something. I mean, he's my best friend and all but sometimes he makes me do the most outrageous things! Just last time, he told me to clean his dorm because he couldn't find it in himself to 'subject his self to such labor'." Ah, Nogi is learning the art of blackmail.

"So, you're saying you would actually blackmail Hyuuga to get out of doing things he should usually do his self?" I asked as I sat in my seat with my legs crossed and my hands poised on my lap.

He nodded and inspected the DVD. "You don't have a microchip on this, do you?"

I curtly nodded as I drank from my cup of tea, inspecting Nogi. He was always on the attractive side, I can't deny that. He had golden locks that always seemed to remind me of Goldilocks. He also had bright blue eyes which were too innocent for his own good.

I chuckled lightly to myself at the thought. Yes, Nogi was very innocent yet there was something about him that always seemed to appeal to me. It's this some sort attraction. This attraction was always one of the reasons why I had taken a liking to blackmailing Nogi. Well, the major reason being all the money I profit off him but it was a reason, still.

Normal

"Imai?" The blond boy called uncertainly. He fidgeted with his fingers as he looked at the raven-haired genius.

Hotaru looked up at the blond. Blue clashed with violet. The raven-haired beauty stared into the pools of blue recognizing a few emotions that swam beneath. Uncertainty, anxiety and one more emotion which she could not understand. But that emotion was just a flash and had gone as quickly as it had come.

"Yes Nogi?" She said, snapping both of them out of their reveries.

"Ah, yes, I was wondering, I assume that you would want to go to the Summer dance to be able to capture certain moments with the students and all, and you don't have a date I presume and I don't either. I think it would be best if we both went?" The last sentence seemed more like a question rather than a statement. Ruka internally congratulated himself for finishing his statement without stuttering.

"Why, Nogi, are you asking me out to the dance?" The female teased as a smirk graced her lips.

"I, uh, yes. Well, uhm, if we would go together, I would prevent you from having to go through the dance alone and I might also ward off your, uh, suitors and Hayate." He cleared his throat. He had made sure his reasons were valid and that it benefitted them both but the real reason he asked her to the dance in the first place was that he actually liked her. Blackmail, cruelty, sheer coldness, fierce judgment and all the other aspects, which would usually put off a person, had drawn the blond to her.

"Ah, yes, and me being there will also ward off your fangirls, hm?" Hotaru confirmed as she placed her cup back onto the plate and onto her table.

"Uh, yeah." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, blood rushing to his face.

"Okay."

"Wait, okay?" Ruka asked, making sure if he heard correctly.

"Okay." She replied again.

"Oh, uh, thanks." The lad said before awkwardly exiting her lab, and quietly celebrating. He pumped his fist in the air when he made it into the hallway and cried a silent shout of victory. All this the violet-eyed beauty could see in her monitors. She smiled to herself. Of course, she had her own motives why she agreed and all those were too similar to the blond's own motives.

Mikan

It had been a fair 2 weeks since I and Natsume have been going steady. So far, only Ruka and Koko have found out, hopefully. I suspect Hotaru does too, I mean, it's impossible she doesn't.

Natsume had his arm around my waist and we were comfortably hidden by Bear's house. We were both leaning against the wall of his cabin in the back, a table cloth neatly placed underneath us. It was Natsume's idea to hang out here where no one could see us. We both agreed to have lunch here too.

"Did you eat all the Howalon?" I asked Natsume with a quirk of my brow. He doesn't even like sweet things yet I have a hunch he might have taken my Howalon.

"No, why would I? You know I don't like sweet stuff." He replied gruffly, turning away. I pouted. My Howalon was missing.

"Are you sure? Because last time I checked they were right there." I complained as I pointed to a space directly in front of me. Either Natsume had super ninja skills or they dissolved into air.

"Hn." Seriously, when will this guy get tired of using one-worded answers.

I broke away from his hold and got on all fours looking for my Howalon. "Come on, where is it?" I patted the ground looking for my Howalon.

"By all means, stay like that. I have a nice view from here." My hands automatically went to my butt to hold down my skirt.

"Pervert." I muttered under my breath. I plopped down on the ground and gave a huge breath. "I give up."

"That's a shame. You won't be getting this then." I turned to Natsume to see him clutching my Howalon. I pounced on him immediately.

"GIVE. NOW." I snarled threateningly as I pinned him down with my legs and my hands holding down his arms.

He gave a smirk setting the corner of the box on fire. I could have nullified that at once but I wasn't thinking straight so my hands instantly went for the box. Once my hands let their hold go on his arms, he managed to flip us over.

He had pinned down my legs in a fashion that I was unable to knee him in the groin. His left hand had pinned my hands to a space above my head while his right dangled the Howalon teasingly right above my head. It was near enough that I could bump my forehead against it but far enough of the reach of the teeth.

I muttered obscenities in my head as I watched the small flame still in the same place it was a while ago, very slowly it burnt the corner and made its way up until it reached the space where the Howalon was found.

In those slow moments, a thought clicked inside my head. I realized that I could have utilized the large number of alices I had yet I completely forgot all of these. How stupid can I get?

As if Natsume had heard the click in my mind, he neared his mouth to my ear, "Idiot." His hot breath tickled my ear and sent tingles of pleasure down my spine.

"Not anymore." I replied breathlessly, still in the effect of his breath in my ear, as I nullified his alice. The fire stopped abruptly but the smirk on his face did not. I had a guess that he had taken notice of his effect on me so without warning, he had brushed his lips against my earlobe sending another wave of tingles down my body. It took all I had not to purr like a cat at the sensation.

"Enjoying yourself, aren't you?" He mumbled lowly in my ear, his lips occasionally touching. The Howalon was left forgotten as his free hand traced slow, lazy circles on my hip. I took a sharp intake of breath and glared weakly at him. His eyes danced with amusement as his smirk grew wider and wider as my breath had grown more ragged and uneven.

"Not in the slightest." I managed to whisper back, although feebly. He was torturing me, he knew. It took all I had not to break free from his grip and drag him down to my lips.

As if reading my thoughts, he crashed his lips onto mine. Both of his hands had stopped their current duties and had come to either side of me to keep him from crushing me. My hands had wound their way around his neck and I crushed my lips unto his.

The kiss was gentle and soft at first, agonizingly slow yet I didn't dare present my hunger for his lips so openly. No, that wasn't how our game worked. We would first drag on the closed-mouth kiss, tender and sweet until one of us cracked. Then it would work its way into becoming more rough and heated, all our passion enclosed within the kiss.

This time, I cracked when I had crushed his lips further onto mine. He had replied all too willingly. The kiss felt like it had lasted forever when we finally parted, my lungs gasping for air.

I gasped audibly when I checked my watch. Ten minutes after one. "Class has already started!" I immediately stood up, grabbed my Howalon and bag and rushed off to class, leaving Natsume behind who had looked fairly startled when I left him sitting on the ground.

Thankfully, Serina-sensei was out when I walked in. I calmly sat in my seat in the back, next to Natsume's which was empty, well, because of me.

"Where's Natsume?" Ruka asked.

I gave a small smirk. "On his way." And a second after I'd said that, Natsume had slammed the door open, looking furious might I add, and had glared at me the whole time on his way to his chair. I simply smiled innocently and pretended to peer into my books.

I pretended to ignore the strong presence beside me as he made a point of slamming stuff down and loudly scraping his seat. "You're in trouble later." He whispered in my ear.

I simply ignored him all throughout the rest of the day, watching in amusement from the corner of my eye as he tried 'subtle' ways to gain my attention like burning tips of my hair, which I thankfully manage to nullify secretly, flipping up my skirt and even placing an arm around me which I manage to get out of by using his own alice, which I had copied before just in case, and heating up the underside of his arm. His own fire won't hurt him but mine will.

As I walked back to my dorm that day, I internally congratulated myself for pulling such a feat, well, until I reached the floor of the my room and suddenly I'm pinned to the wall, unable to move and staring into two red orbs.

"You know, Mikan," he draws out my name, softly and slowly, "you really shouldn't ignore your boyfriend when he just gave you such a mind-blowing make-out session just a while ago." He smirked slightly.

I chuckled. "I really shouldn't, guess I'll just have to save that for the time I get one, I guess." I silently revel in victory as the smirk fades from his face and turns into a scowl.

"Well now, aren't you the little saint?" He snarls in my ear before licking my earlobe and sending a trail of kisses down my cheek, faintly brushing my lips, and down my jaw, throat until he reaches the area where my neck connects to my shoulders. He nibbled on the patch of skin, which I'm sure will leave a hickey, and then sucks on it, lapping his tongue against my skin. My knees turn to jelly and I'm even amazed that I managed still stand straight.

"St-stop." I muttered breathlessly, in between my sharp intakes of breath.

"Your words tell me to stop but your eyes and body tell me not to." He mumbles against my skin, sending a rapture of tingles all around my body. It's amazing how he makes me react, tingly all over.

My hands clutch his shirt and push him away gently, albeit reluctantly. "F-fine, you win. You punished me for leaving you out on the ground. Now let me go." I whimper helplessly.

His smirk grew even wider. He grabbed me around the waist and flung me over his shoulder. I didn't even bother to fight back knowing he had a grip of steel and instead, I fixate my sight on his butt, sexily moving along with his legs. I unconsciously licked my lips and thanked the heavens that Natsume couldn't see much of my face over his shoulder.

I'd realized he'd kicked his door open when I heard the slam of the door and I saw his butt muscles had contracted.

I shrieked when I felt myself being tossed on the couch. Thankfully, the couch was very soft and inviting unlike the look in Natsume's eyes which gave off a mischievous glint as he climbed on top of me. I couldn't help but feel delighted with the way he looked at me. Looks like I wasn't the only one who was checking out the latter.

I shivered with pleasure as he glided his fingers from my cheek down to my collar bone. "W-what are y-you doing?" I muttered, almost incoherently as he made soft swirling motions on the skin just below my collarbone.

"Punishing you." He mumbled as his hand moved down to my sides. My top had hitched up when he threw me to the couch so now it exposed the skin of my stomach until my waist. "Beautiful." He whispered. I reddened considerably.

Natsume

I let my hands glide all over her as I admired her. I loved the way she shivered as I let my hands roam. I loved the way her face flushed when I called her beautiful. I loved the fact that her skin was smooth and soft and blemish-free despite the fact that she was constantly on missions and always returned with a wound or two. I loved how her porcelain skin looked so fragile yet had already endured so much. I love how her eyes glaze over at my touch and how those olive orbs always give me that loving look, a look I haven't received for a long time. I love everything about her. I love her.

"Mikan…" I murmured as I smashed my lips against hers. Our lips moved against each other softly in a sweet closed-mouth kiss. Gently, I probed her mouth with my tongue, begging for entrance. She slowly succumbed and admitted me entrance. I explored the caverns of her mouth and nudged my tongue against hers. Despite the fact that I've already done this multiple times already, tingles always sear through me each time.

"-tsume." She mumbled against my lips. I decided not to reply and continued to engage in a battle with her tongue. My hands made lazy motions against the skin of her slender waist. "Natsume." She repeated.

I parted and stared into her lovely pools of brown. "What?" I growled, annoyed that we had to part.

"Your door is still open and people are peering in." She replied.

I stiffened in my place and groaned. "Go away." I snarled to the onlookers. Without looking, I lit a few of them on fire.

"Natsume!" Mikan chastised. She nullified them afterwards, pretending it was me who stopped the fire.

Normal

Whispers erupted through the small crowd.

'They're together?'

'Natsume-sama and Kana-sama! Together! Kyaa!'

'I knew all along.'

'Kana-sama doesn't deserve to be with someone as vulgar and garish as Hyuuga-kun!'

The fire-caster groaned again and slacked against the brunette thus crushing her below him. "D-don't crush me."

Natsume stood up from his place and went over to the door, glaring at the small crowd yet they stayed in their place and stared at the flustered brunette who sat up, her hair sexily mussed up.

"Girls, can you leave please?" Mikan said sweetly, turning her female pheromone alice up.

"H-hai, Kana-sama." The females bowed and left the scene in a trance, little hearts and bubbles swirling around them.

The males stood their ground and glared at Natsume for defiling their Kana-sama.

"Go away, you idiots." The raven-haired lad glowered as his glare intensified, the room's temperature increasing. Thinking it was time to intervene, the brunette stood up from her place and stood next to Natsume and placed her arm around his waist.

"You guys are annoying me and my boyfriend. Go the fuck away." She said menacingly. She was already seen making out with him, all she had to do now was to confirm that they were going out so why bother deny it really?

The males went away, grumbling and proceeded to their own dorms which were below their floor. They were probably one of the stalker groups that had followed them both here.

"Well, that's taken care of." MIkan said casually as she let out a sigh.

"Now they're all going to be hounding us tomorrow." The fire caster complained as he closed the door and sat on the couch, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Not if I can help it. I can send them all scattering with a glare. Even better, I can make them all pass out with a round of a batting of my eyelashes." Natsume gave the brunette a look. "Err, well the girls at least. I guess I'll just threaten the guys or something."

"You know, for someone who's supposed to have a seemingly harmless pheromone alice, you're very threatening." Natsume said with a smirk before he leaned in and gave the brunette a light peck on the cheek.

"I have to be threatening or else they'd all be pushing me around." Mikan replied, puffing out her cheeks uncharacteristically.

"You? Pushed around? Yeah right." The raven haired lad said with a shake of his head. Of course, Mikan wasn't the type who liked to be pushed around. So instead of being pushed around, she was more of the type that everyone made way for.

"Well, if they did push me around, they would find themselves…" she paused, thinking of a certain term, "inadequate enough to want not to live."

"Oooh. I love it when you're all evil and threatening. It's hot." Natsume said, smirking, as inappropriate images popped into his head, all having the idea of Mikan being an evil seductress.

"Ew. Get those images out of your head." The said female commented, a tease of pink on her cheeks.

Natsume rolled his eyes and adjusted his self on the couch so that Mikan was resting against his chest with his arms around her shoulders. He sighed heavily before nuzzling her neck and inhaling her scent. "Why do you smell so good?" he mumbled, mostly to himself

"Idiot." The brunette answered before closing her eyes and falling into a wonderful sleep in the arms of the fire caster.

"I love you." He whispered into her ear before falling asleep himself.

Weeell, this is all just so fluffy. This was mainly a filler anyway. Next chapter, I'm hoping to put Kaito and the other kids back in again. I miss Kaito and all his annoying-ness. :D
