-1Dream Date
Chapter Four: Wet n' Wild
--
Mikan inhaled heavily, it wasn't a dream. The pervert last night, he was indeed real…and his name was Natsume Hyuuga. The crimson eyed boy stared at her boredly as she had her semi-panic attack.
"Oh god, this has to be a dream." She pinched herself; Natsume Hyuuga- the Natsume Hyuuga, could not be the pervert-jerk.
"Please, like you could have dreams this imaginative…Polk-a-dots." Mikan eyes snapped up as a smirk grew on his face. "Also, I don't know why your getting worked up, if anyone it should be me. Not only was a mentally scarred when you flashed me, you also duped me into thinking you were a maid." Ok, so maybe that wasn't true. She never did say she was a maid, he had just automatically assumed. Also, he was the one who peeked when she fell, but those were just details.
Mikan went slack-jaw as she stared at him incredulously. She never said she was a maid! Why would she be a maid? Also, shouldn't he be able to recognize his maids to know that she wasn't one? And that pervert peeked at her underwear, she didn't flash him!
"I never said I was a maid, and you practically eye molested me! Who would flash you?"
Natsume scuffed, he knew more then one girl that was willing, and had, flashed him on many occasions. Eye molest? She really was an idiot. He did the girl a once over again as she glared at him, wasn't she suppose to be drooling over him? Or like thinking about how lucky she was that she was sitting right next to him?
"For one, someone who wants to molest anyone would probably have sexual desire towards that person- which I'm pretty sure is impossible for anyone to have towards you. I mean, really what kind of girl wears polka dots underwear past the age of ten?"
Mikan couldn't breathe, he did honestly not say that.
"The main reason I like Natsume," Anna had said. "Is because he is a true gentlemen, totally leagues above guys these days."
This had to be the most ironic thing that had ever happen to her. She had known the famous Natsume Hyuuga for a couple minutes at most and he had already shattered everything that she and her friends had thought of him. He also seemed completely unfazed by all the insults he had just thrown at her, not even a tad bit embarrassed by admitting to peeking at her underwear.
"I cannot believe this, you're the biggest liar I've ever meant!" His crimson eyes flicked back onto to her, what was her name again? Mi…Mimi? Who cared, not like she was worthy enough of him calling her by her name.
"How can you say that when you known me for…" he looked at his watch. "Ten minutes, thirty if you count last night."
"Everyone in Japan knows of you, and everything they know apparently is a lie. How do you expect me to explain to my best friends that their biggest ideal is a fake?" He scuffed and shrugged.
"Not my problem, plus you won't be saying anything--if you read the contact you signed at the beginning of this you would have know this. Ba-Ka."
She couldn't stand it. She couldn't stand him, tears welled in her eyes as she thought of all the people out their who admired him and looked up to him, and he didn't even seem to care. She thought of Anna and Nonoko how she was going to have to lie to them, and how they'd still think Natsume Hyuuga was a good person. She hated him.
She glanced at him, he was staring out the window. They had stopped at a red light. No way am I going to go up on a stage and help him with his façade. I can't tell all though people I'm happy. She took the handle of the limo door and slowly opened it, it was silent. Just as she thought, it was only the best for Natsume which mean it was soundless. She took off her shoes and held them in her hand as she slid off the seat and onto the road. As she was shutting the door she heard it.
"Oi, what do you think you're were doing?" She closed the door all the way and started sprinting in the other direction, time for all that time on the track team to pay off.
--
Shit. Natsume head whipped around as he realize that the girl next to him wasn't just opening the door for fresh air. He caught her just as she was shutting the door.
"Oi, what do you think you're doing?"
In a flash of red she bolted down the highway. He was about to call Koko when he caught sight of the light changing. She could go into the woods or something and they'd loose her. He quickly bolted from the car and ran after the idiot, ignoring as the limo pulled away. He just call Koko when he caught her, since Koko was probably completely oblivious that his two guest were no longer there.
She was fast. Of course, he was faster, he didn't waste his childhood training for life-or-death situation to be outrun by an amateur, a girl no less. The girl must have sensed he was about to catch her since she jumped off the woods into the woods, which must have been the stupidest ideas ever since she was shoe-less. Only a minute after entering the woods did the brunette stop and start hopping.
"Ow! Ow! Crap!"
Natsume ran his hand through his hair and glared at the girl, he hoped she stepped on glass.
"Just what in the hell did you think you were doing." The girl ignored him and went to sit down on the ground to expect her foot.
"Don't sit on the ground, idiot." She stopped mid squat and looked at him.
"Where do you think I'm going to sit then?" she asked harshly.
"Not on the ground, innless you want to go to the party with a huge brown spot on the back of your dress." She smiled.
"That's fine, 'cause I'm not going to the party…and by the looks of it neither are you." He narrowed his crimson eyes.
"We are both going to the party, did you honestly think we didn't prepare for someone like you? You really should read things before you sign them, as I said before you'll have a nice little law suit on your hands if you don't go to that party."
The idiot blinked and narrowed her hazel eyes, then she mumbled under her breath before turning sand limping deeper into the woods. "What do you think your doing?"
"I'm running away from you, obviously." She continued t limp at turtle speed away from him inch-by-inch. He just sighed and dug in his pocket, time to call Koko. He dug into his pocket and pulled out his…mints? Where was his cell phone?
"Damn it!" He cursed, he had left his cell in the limo. He looked around, the street they were just was completely empty. Of course it was, Koko always took creepy back ways to events to avoid being stalked by paparazzi.
Mikan was now about a full foot away from him. "Oi ugly girl, do you have a cell?" Mikan ignored him
and kept on walking, who would respond to some insulting jerk?
She really was thinking that she might have glass in her foot, of course, she wouldn't know since she wasn't aloud to sit down on the ground to inspect it. Foot step sounded behind her and she sighed, she really wished she could run away.
"I said," Natsume took her hand. "Do you have a cell?"
"Well, now that I think about it." Mikan put a thoughtful finger on her chin. "Blah!" She stuck her tongue out at him before snatching her arm back and continuing deeper in the forest. Come to think of it, where was she going in the first place? Wouldn't it have been better to just turn around and sit on the road? Of course, if she did that now she'd look like and idiot and she'd have to go past the jerk. Why did he want a cell phone here anyways?
"Look here Baka, thanks to you we're in the middle of god knows where with no cell phone; know what that means? That means until I find a cell or somewhere to use a phone, you are out here stuck with me." Mikan eyes widened as she turned to gape at him.
"You're joking, right?" He rolled his eyes.
"Like I'd joke about having to spend anymore time then I have to with you."
Mikan took a deep breath, she didn't have a cell phone, surely there had to be a gas station somewhere. She ignored him and him and hopped past him onto the road and looked both way. It was pitch black, nothing but a walls of forest surrounding them on both sides.
"You don't have a cell phone." She shook her head. Natsume closed his eyes, this was not happening to him. Natsume Hyuuga was not stuck in the middle of no where with a girl- who might have been the only girl on the planet not to have fallen madly in love with him- without a cell phone.
"Well, better get hiking!" He opened his eyes as he saw the brunette marching off down the road. Natsume followed.
This isn't happening…

Hotaru Imai glared at the limo now pulling into the parking lot of the Glass House, it was five minutes late. The limo stopped and out came Kokoroyomi, a grin on his face as always.
"Sorry we're late, I there were like a billion traffic lights; I mean why do they even need traffic lights on that road? there is nothing on it at all." Hotaru ignored him and went towards the limo opening the door…
"Koko, I'd like for you to explain something to me." Koko gulped at Hotaru 'I'm going to kill you voice'. "Tell me why when you left the house there were two people in this limo, but now there is none." Koko grin dropped as he went to the limo door and whipped it open, it was empty. The only thing left was a red clutch and a Natsume's Crimson Razor phone.
"You see…that's a very good question." Hotaru whipped open her phone and pressed down the speed dial.
"Nogi, we have a problem- I need you to stall." She paused as Ruka responded. "Lets just say Koko has successfully screwed up the easiest job possible." She clicked the phone shut. "Come on, we're going to go find them…and see if Natsume feels like firing you."
Koko gulped as he got back into the limo, he was so dead.
--
Nothing.
They must have already gone two miles, there was nothing but darkness, forest, and traffic lights. Not to mention they were ignoring each other, Mikan falling behind him because of her limp. She still hadn't examined her foot, it could be infected and spreading through her body at that very moment. Also, now that the adrenaline had wore off she was feeling more then a bit scared. What had possessed her to yell at Natsume Hyuuga?
Now, staring at her back she was regretting it, his back seemed to scream 'I'm going to kill you' at her. She took a deep breath, she should just apologize.
"Um, look…I'm really sorry about yelling at you and jumping out of the limo- it was a stupid idea. I know I said last night I wasn't going to judge you on that incident, but I kind of did anyways so--"
"Look , Ichigo Kara, I really could care less about what you have to say. Sorry if you thought you were important enough for me to care. Your just some fan-girl who has some odd way of showing it, I mean you get points for being original, but that's about it."
"E-excuse me? How can you be so rude! I was trying to apologize, which I shouldn't even be doing cause you're a big jerk! Also, as if I'm a fan girl! Who'd want to idolize you." He turned around so she could see him roll his eyes.
"If your not a fan-girl what are you doing here?" She huffed.
"I wanted to see what it was like to live in luxury, not live with you. I've only know you for less then twenty four hours and you already insulted me, eye molested me, and talk to me like we know each other. Shouldn't you be calling me Sakura-San instead of Ichigo Kara…wait. That's the same as the--Pervert! You did it again!"
Natsume sighed, hadn't she already noticed he was already walking away? Loud mouth idiot. He needed Advil, his head was going to explode if he had to keep listening to that idiot. What was she, ten? The most annoying girl he'd ever meant in his life by far. He stopped, the foot steps behind him had stopped he turned around-she wasn't there. No where in sight. Well that was just peachy.

Mikan stared at the 3 inch piece of glass she had just pulled from her foot in horror- how was it she didn't cry when this was lodged into her foot the whole time. She dipped her foot back into the little bank of water she had found, trying to clear all the dried blood off the bottom of her foot. The river was small, but from what she could tell it was deep all the way around. She took a looked up at the sky and chuckled, what was she doing? She was sitting in a ball gown staring out at the sky after fighting with Natsume Hyuuga. It was hilarious, it was all so surreal. Her mind still couldn't wrap around the situation.
They were right about one thing, Natsume Hyuuga did have a strong persona. That was the only way she could explain how easily she could argue with him without getting star-struck and completely awed by the situation. Of course now that he wasn't near she was completely panicking. How could she say those things? Everything was bound to go down hill sooner or later.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" She gasped and jumped up upon hearing the voice. This wouldn't have been a problem if she was anywhere else except two inches away from a lake.
Splash!
Mikan emerged from the water with a gasp, un-amused crimson eyes meeting her gaze.
"What do you think you're doing?! How are we suppose to go to the party when your soaking wet." Mikan coughed up some of the water she had ingested before responding.
"No, its ok, I'm not drowning or anything," she said sarcastically. She stood up and rung out her hair. "And don't blame for me for getting wet, you were the one who scared me half to death causing me to fall into the water in the first place." He came to the edge of the rock that she was sitting on just seconds ago. He looked up at the sky and mumbled something like 'why this idiot?'
Before Mikan knew what she was doing, it was already done. She finally realized she had splashed him after his crimson eyes seemed to turn full on red and the water on him seemed to actually be turning to steam…was that even possible?
"Um…my bad?" Mikan barley had a chance to dodge as a case of mints were whipped at her head and the crimson eyes boy dove into the water, his eyes set on her in rage. Mikan yelped and started treading through the water- that was obviously a bad idea. She should of known along with being a pervert and a jerk he was also crazy! And apparently she had just unleashed his full on crazy.
Baka!
"Just what do you two think you're doing?" Mikan froze and turned around. Natsume was now rubbing his head and getting out of the water, his raging ruby eyes now set on Hotaru Imai.
"Its about damn time you got here, what the hell were you doing? This freaking Ichigo-Kara idiot went all psycho and attacked me!" Even though his voice stayed on an indoor-voice tone it still came out as a yell. Mikan came out the water and shuttered as the cold greeted her, how was he not cold.
"N-n-not t-true! He attacked me…and didn't care about the glass in my f-f-foot. So then I had to check it myself and he scared me and--he's a lying jerk!" She stuttered. Hotaru resisted the urge to sigh, it looked like Mikan had found out the true Natsume.
"Natsume in the car, now." Natsume lifted up an eye brow as if to say, make me. Hotaru violet eyes narrowed into slits. "I have must have half a mind not to quit at this very moment, get into the car or I will quit and take all your secrets with me." Natsume scuffed and shrugged but got into the car anyways. Hotaru turned to Mikan. "Mikan-Chan, for now can we get into the car go to the party then put this whole night behind us and start over tomorrow? I'm sure that Natsume has a reason for his actions, he seems to actually have a fever." Mikan stared at Hotaru, she was a liar too.
"Sure, that sounds good." Mikan shuffled towards the limo and stopped at the door. "Um, can I sit in the front seat?" Hotaru sighed, Natsume was that bad to her already? Hotaru nodded mutely then looked up at the sky.
Why did you stick me with such idiots…?

A/N: My longest chapter yet, not as long as I wanted it to be but I really had to stop here or else everything from this point on would be crap. I got up and did two miles and its only seven Am and I've been up since four, so I'm dead. Hope you enjoy, please review.
