I think I've been dragging this story. O.O But this was what came out of my mind while writing soooo… .
Anyhow, MisakiXTsubasa moment here. Enjoy ;)
Chapter 8
"N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-NOOOOOOOOO!"
Misaki jumped and covered Mikan's mouth.
Currently, the princess is locked inside her own room in the vacation house after minutes of glaring and bad mouthing her soon-to-be husband.
It was already a big shock to see the prince after so long but right now, the brunette received yet another big blow.
"Oerm Mernth?! Therds arbserd!" Mikan complained with her mouth muffled by Misaki
"It's just one month Mikan." Misaki reasoned out
The idiot shook her head furiously making Misaki take her hands off.
"NO! THAT GUY-" she pointed out the door "HE'S A MONSTER! NO! I'm going hooome!" the brunette cried
"Mikan, don't be unreasonable. You can't just do that."
"But this is impossible! REALLY IMPOSSIBLE! I can't live with him for a day and you expect me to marry him?! NOOOOO!"
"You already agreed to this."
"But I never thought he's the one I'm marrying!" Mikan dived on her bed
"Well, isn't that your fault?" Misaki shrugged
"But-but-BUT WHY?! Why would ka-san and chi-chi even allow this to happen?! They know that I never got along with that monster! And yet they made a promise! Uwaaaa!" the princess began rolling around, wrapping herself in her blanket "I wanna go hoooome!"
"Mikan listen." Misaki took a deep breath "Remember the reason why you accepted this arranged marriage in the first place…"
"Eh?"
"Just remember. Why did you accept this marriage?"
The brunette pondered on the thought. And then she recalled,
"I'm willing to be sacrificed for the sake of our poor soldiers trapped in a place far from their homeland! I'm willing to take my duty as a princess to keep our friendly relationship with the north! And I'm willing to marry to keep the promise and bond kept by my parents! I'm going to do it!"
Mikan sniffed hard.
"Now, you remember?"
With puppy dog eyes she looked up to Misaki who was sitting on the bed,
"But… We never got along." She complained softly
"That's why you're spending a whole month together. You never know what would happen right?" Misaki smiled at the idiot
Mikan pouted.
"Fine, let me cheer you up. I'm telling you a secret."
Mikan sit up, still wrapped like a burrito with her blanket.
"What is it? What is it?" she asked excitedly
"Well… I heard that after a month… if you still won't get along with the prince, your marriage will be cancelled."
Mikan's eyes widened and when a smile was about to form on her face, she snapped out of it.
"WAIT. But our soldiers? They're still in the North right?"
Misaki beamed at her, "Shush. I'm not done yet. I also heard that if things really wouldn't get better between you two… the North still compromised the release of our soldiers. All you have to do is bear with this one month."
Upon hearing this, Mikan's optimism instantly flared up.
"HOHOHO! THEN ONE MONTH IT IS! This is my fault for agreeing in the first place but if this is the case, then I CAN DO IT!"
The princess's eyes was burning with passion and Misaki thought she's done a good job. But anxiety fills the pink haired lass, knowing she said a lie for the benefit of everyone.

Earlier before...
Mikan got up immediately and glared at the prince while Natsume gave her a look of distaste.
"I'm marrying YOU?! NO WAY! You've always been my nemesis! The person born to make my life miserable! And I'm marrying YOU?!"
"Princess Mikan, calm down." Misaki said
"I'M GOING HOME!"
"Heh." Natsume finally speak up
"WHAT HEH?!" the brunette complained
"You speak ill of me but they told me you accepted this proposal at once." The kuro neko nonchalantly said
"THAT-THAT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW I'M MARRYING THE LIKES OF YOU!"
Natsume smirked.
"What are you sniggering for?!" the brunete complained
"You're really…"
"What?"
"An idiot."
"W-WHAT?! YOU! YOU SELFISH CONCEITED MEAN PERVERTED JERK!"
Misaki and Tsubasa gasped.
"Tch. Pervert? Weren't you the one who showed me that?" he pointed at Mikan's, well, feminine side
Misaki and Tsubasa blushed furiously as well as the princess.
"I DIDN'T YOU PERVERT!"
"Strawberry panties."
"Why you!"
Misaki and Tsubasa couldn't take it any longer. They finally went in between and asked their royalties to halt the fight and ushered the two to their rooms hoping that things would get better after.
.
.
.
"Tch."
Natsume was inside his room, staring at the view outside his window. Though he looked calm, he's still pissed of what happened earlier before and somehow the event kept rewinding in his mind making his mood worse.
"W-WHAT?! YOU! YOU SELFISH CONCEITED MEAN PERVERTED JERK!"
Mikan's voice resounded in his head again. He felt his vein pop.
Aside from the annoying loud princess, Natsume was even more pissed about the revelation his royal valet just told him.
"P-prince." Tsubasa called out
Natsume turned to him, death written in his eyes.
Tsubasa gulped. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to betray you but the Queen… she looked at me in the same way you're looking at me right now…" Tsubasa wanted to add but decided not to.
"You, my personal and supposedly most trusted valet," Natsume said, emphasizing the MOST TRUSTED part, "kept this from me because of my mother?"
"Y-Yes."
"Resign."
Tsubasa whimpered, "But your highness please understa-
"No. Go assist my mother."
"But prince!"
"Shut it. They told me this will take a day or two. And now you say it's a month?" the raven haired prince hissed
Tsubasa remained quiet.
"I'll stay here for two days. Just as what was promised to me." Natsume conclusively stated
"But your highness the carriage will not be sent back until after a month."
Natsume glared at him. Tsubasa sighed dejectedly.
"Two days Tsubasa. If I don't see any transport back to the palace, I'll kill you."
Tsubasa bowed down and went out of the prince's room.
.

Tsubasa went down to the kitchen to get some water. Misaki, who was preparing some late lunch, (it's already late because the royalties refused to take their scheduled lunch time), found her co-servant sitting down and staring at a distance.
"Oi. What's wrong with you?" the pink haired lass asked
"How do they do that?" Tsubasa asked dully
"Huh?"
"Both mother and son… their threats always sound so real." Tsubasa continued
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Misaki took a seat in front of him "Are you alright?"
Tsubasa sighed. "No. I'm going to die."
"What?!"
"He'll kill me."
"Who?"
"The prince."
Misaki stared at Tsubasa who seemed like sleep talking.
"Stop joking."
Tsubasa took a long sigh.
"Is he really going to kill you?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Because we tricked him, I think you know… about that one month." Tsubasa sighed again
"Ahh… So is he going to kill you now?"
Tsubasa stared at Misaki.
"What?"
"You say that like it's no big deal."
Misaki shrugged. "It's no big deal for me. I mean that's your affair with him."
"Hmph." Tsubasa looked away
"Hmph?" Misaki giggled "Are you a girl?"
Tsubasa, still in low spirits thought of something that'll amuse him. He stood up and leaned towards Misaki.
"What did you just say?" he said in his husky voice
Misaki tensed but managed to raise her eyebrow and repeated, "Are you a girl?"
"You know what…" Tsubasa continued leaning in while Misaki sat firmly, not wanting to back down "…you really shouldn't tease a man like that."
Tsubasa was enjoying this, thinking of the dramas he watched when girls started to fidget and blush and look away as the guy continues to lean in until he says he was just kidding.
Tsubasa was sniggering inwardly until their faces were two inches away and they could feel each other's breath. When he thought that Misaki was almost too scared to move, he was about to say he was just joking when suddenly, Misaki wrapped her arms around him.
She smiled. A smile that was so alluring that Tsubasa's joke was forgotten as his mind went blank.
"Let's kiss shall we?" the pink haired lass whispered seductively and leaned in
Tsubasa not expecting any of this felt his face burn and shut his eyes. When their lips were too close that one move they'll surely touch, Misaki pushed him away and laughed hard.
She stood up and coolly said,
"You really shouldn't tease a woman like that." She winked and got back to her cooking
Tsubasa who finally snapped out of his daze, walked away from the kitchen his face still as red as a tomato.

"Just one month Mikan. You can do this much!" the brunette thought to herself
"Two days and this annoying set-up is over." The raven haired prince thought
With that, their first day together was ended without seeing each other's faces for the rest of the day as they stubbornly stayed in each of their rooms. While the two servants, after having such a heated teasing also remained quiet for the rest of the day.
And so this leaves us the thought of what would happen next between these couples…
To be continued…
UWAAAAA. XD SUGGESTIONS for what happens next will be very much appreciated and considered.
Thanks for reading! :D
