"Yue-chan!! Uwah what is that!?" Mikan brightly exclaimed with widened brown eyes and a widened gaping mouth as she touched with curiosity the metal handcuffs in which the close mouth smiling Yue and the annoyed Natsume were wearing on their wrists.

"Oi stupid, they're called handcuffs, ever heard of them?" Natsume turned his head away with an annoyed click of his tongue, the offended Mikan yelling at him with a pointed finger, Yue laughing amused behind her hand, letting out a few 'pff's' here and there. She was glad that they could now at least verbally fight with each other without it being dangerous.

"Yue! Natsume!" They both looked back to a huffing Ruka that leaned down with his hands holding his rabbit, catching his breath as Yue and Natsume exchanged a glance, then glancing back at their blonde best friend.

"Where were you?" Natsume questioned with his hands- hand in his pocket since the other one was out due to being handcuffed.

"Gomen, Natsume, Yue. Got held up by some shops." He sighed long before smiling apologetic, Yue smiling while nodding her head and Natsume nodding curtly.

"Waah~ The Latent Type class's area has a lot of amazing attractions too!" Mikan brightly exclaimed with clasped hands and a wide smile, glancing here and there before a rather taller male figure dressed as a monster frankenstein appeared in front of the smaller group, the four of them blinking at the figure as he roared. A few seconds passed.

"I guess the haunted house is that way." Mikan stated rather calmly while resuming walking, Ruka following suit, Yue chuckling lightly while staring up with amused blue eyes at the taller figure, Natsume eyeing the curious bluenette.

"I wonder how they make this..." She mumbled to herself with a small smile, about to poke the figure, - Natsume's eyes narrowing with a tic mark clearly showing on his head-, before she was tugged away with widened surprised eyes as her hand was engulfed by Natsume's, both of them now following the walking figures of Mikan and Ruka, Yue smiling softly with a shake of her head.

"Looks rather pretty." Yue smiled to herself while staring up at the large Haunted House, Natsume and Ruka giving her an amused glance, Mikan with widened shocked eyes at the statement the tinier fragile like girl just made, then slowly turning her head back to stare up at the giant place.

"This must be it...the ghost house where Class Rep is using his illusion Alice to scare people..." She mumbled with an unsure smile, all four of them turning their heads back down when the exit door slammed opened and a middle school couple stood there with wiggling shaking legs, "This is too scary!!" They both exclaimed with anime tears running down their faces, then shouting out with fists at the haunted house behind them, "Were e never coming back!!" "No way! Never!" Finally running away rapidly. Yue chuckled lightly in amusement, the three of Natsume, Ruka and Mikan with a sweat drop on their heads as Ruka wondered,

"Maybe Tobita is actually really deep, in spite of the way he looks..."

"What kind of depth is that?" Natsume deadpanned.

"He looks so harmless. But inside that head of his..." Mikan stated with slit eyes and a stiff face. And just in the moment, the person being spoken of appeared like the devil himself.

"Ahh~ you guys came!" Yuu jogged to the group with a friendly smile, Yue turning her head away in fear of being caught of trying to conceal her laughter with her hands, even though Natsume already caught on and began to freely gently tug on her hair.

"Could he be...?" Mikan wondered out loud while pointing at the smiling Yuu, "Someone to be feared?" The three of them questioned out loud while staring at the still smiling confused Yuu that blinked twice, Yue smiling with a small sigh, her bunny on her shoulder doing the same action.

"Okay, this is the entrance! Off you go now!" Yuu brightly exclaimed with a smile as the large wide doors opened, and now you could clearly hear the yells and screams from the scared people inside.

Yue began to calmly walk in, petting her bunny on her shoulder softly, Natsume following suit since they were still handcuffed.

"Ah! Natsume! Yue!" Ruka followed suit still holding his rabbit, Mikan flinching out of her frozen scared state and jogging behind them while stuttering out a few.

"W-wait! D-don't leave m-me here oi!!"

"Oh pretty graphics. I wonder what color this is though. It looks like violet but not pink...is it pink..?" Yue tilted her head to the side with thinking eyes while staring in front of her at the supposed glowing 'mouth' that opened for them to walk in, Natsume snorting inside his throat staring at the smaller amused girl, Ruka chuckling very amused before a familiar close scream made the three of them exchange a glance, then turn their heads around back to come into view of a scared Mikan that was on the floor on all four, mumbling to herself.

"It's dark, dark times, when it's dark, dark..." A door being shut was heard, her head turning back with widened eyes and yelling out,

"Th...The door just...!" Screams filled the hallway, "I hear terrified people...!" A sudden wind like sound flowed through, "UWAH! The sound! The sound!"

"Pfft-!" Yue shut her almost bursting out laughing mouth with the palm of her hand, her shoulders shaking due to the restraint.

"Mikan, it's just the wind." She finished chuckling with a fist over her mouth, Natsume mumbling a "So your done laughing." "Seems so." Ruka agreed with a short amused nod.

"B..but.." Mikan stuttered with teary eyes while staring up at a calm smiling Yue that obviously noticed the fake hand that was crawling towards the pigtails leg, but decided not to say anything since it would be much more interesting that way.

Mikan froze when the object touched her leg and slowly while stuttering looked back, "UGYAAAAA!! A hand! A hand, a hand, a hand! A hand!" She cried out with long flowy tears, running around the place as Yue chuckled, rather entertained by how much animated the brunette was.

"There's no end to this. Let's go." Natsume stated with a last glance back at the still crying-all-over-the-place-Mikan, then turning back forward and tightly grasping Yue's hand since she was in front of them, Ruka chuckling a bit at the still yelling Mikan but turned around with a smile,

"Nm."

"No! Please don't leave me!" Mikan launched and tightly gripped Ruka's arm with tightly closed eyes, halting all three of them as they stared at her.

"How could the three of you leave me in a place like this? Have a heart!" She cried out, still holding his arm. Yue blinked and mentally took notice on how Ruka's face became a darker shade of pink while staring down at the crying Mikan, almost looking like he didn't know what to do, -his rabbit also staring at the crying girl-. Natsume sighed curtly and resumed walking while holding Yue's hand, a few seconds later Ruka and Mikan both following suit except she was still holding onto his arm.

"Ah!" They stopped once more while glancing at the scared widened eyed Mikan who pointed forward, "Over there...!" Yue and Ruka turned where she was pointing, coming into view of a white glowing old looking grandma.

"There's a weird-looking old lady over there!" She yelled.

"Of course there is. It's a haunted house after all. "Exclaimed and irritated Natsume.

"Omo, is she glowing? How unique!" said the petite Yue.

"Would you two at least act scared!? What kind of people are you kora!!" Mikan angrily yelled still scared at the calm Natsume and Yue that both blinked at her naturally, an amused Ruka grinning.

"Could someone...please carry me on their back and take me over there?" The old lady pointed somewhere, Natsume completely ignoring and just continuing walking while Yue stayed staring at her with curious eyes but was forced to continue walking since he had hold of her handcuffed hand.

"Wait Yue-chan! She just wants someone to carry her!" Mikan let go of Ruka's arm and walked a few feet, calling out to the blinking Yue who had her head tilted but was continuing walking calmly nonstop since Natsume was holding her.

"Please...." The glowing old lady mumbled out loud, while Yue glanced at a scared Mikan that was following them, Ruka right behind her.

"Yue-chan~!!" Mikan yelled out, Yue close eye smiling apologetic with a small shrug of her shoulder stating she couldn't help it.

"All I wanted was to take advantage of your kindness....and make you carry me.....to hell!!" Her blue eyes widened with shock as just in the moment Ruka and Mikan turned their heads around when they heard the loud yell, all of them whitening in shock, Mikan screaming out loud while Ruka's eyes and mouth widened and Natsume clearly stayed the same stoic faced, -both fluffy rabbit and bunny of Yue and Ruka whitening as well with widened red eyes-.

They rapidly ran away, Mikan screaming a "What the heck is that thing!?" with hands in the air, Ruka with a still shocked face, -the creepy grandma yelling out a "come back here!"-, Natsume taking a short corner while still tightly holding Yue's hand since he knew she didn't have the energy nor the limit capacity to run rapidly....or maybe even run.

"Natsume.." He turned around and leaned his back against the wall, sighing while waving his free hand through his hair, glad to have a breath. Yue smiled gratefully and tugged on his hand in thanks, him making his familiar noise from the throat, "Hn."

"I think our Ruka has a tiny crush on Mikan." Yue straight fully stated softly, almost like a whisper if it wasn't for the silence they had at the moment. She slowly glanced up at him since she was standing in front of him, and her lips curved into a genuine soft smile, her blue eyes looking up into his narrowed eyes that were filled with caution and slight worry at what she just said.

"Natsume, you already know she's not bad....just filled with hot air balloon." She chuckled lightly to loosen the tense aura she felt around him, seeing him visibly sighing and calming while staring into her eyes.

"Though I can understand how you feel..." She mumbled to herself, sighing with a short chuckle at the end and leaning against the wall right next to him in thoughts, both in their own thoughts before the power suddenly went out, a complete dark filling them if it weren't for the illumination of the white blue moon shine on a caged large window at the wall on the end, a sudden crash sounding next to them as Natsume rapidly grabbed Yue and pulled her towards him until they hit the wall that had the window, both slightly flinching from the abrupt movement.

"Arigato, Natsume." Yue coughed out due to the dust in the air from what came crashing down, Natsume nodding his head with narrowed eyes, wondering what the hell just happened.

"Due to an electrical accident, we will be temporarily suspending all operations in the haunted house. If you are inside the attraction, please exit the building quickly."

"So....that wall that was being held up was electrical? Eh?" Yue blinked with confused eyes as she examined the darkly painted hard wall with her hands, Natsume's handcuffed hand following as well, his other in his pocket.

"How about we break the wall?" He suggested while staring at the wall, Yue giving him a stern glance as he clicked his tongue and turned his head away but mumbled an obedient, "Fine", the smaller female smiling at him for understanding.

She sighed and walked back to the wall that had the large window, -Natsume following suit-, and gracefully sat down leaning against the wall while bending her knees up, her free arm on her lap while naturally leaning against the warmer body of Natsume who at the same moment intertwined his fingers with hers from the handcuffed hands, Yue shifting more towards him since he was warmer and the place had unusually gotten slightly colder, was it because of the power cut? He abruptly stiffened and suddenly but calmly reached out to her arm and took it in his hands while shifting it towards the moonlight, the pale clear skin tone looking is if it glowed since the moon glow was so pure.

Yue raised an eyebrow curiously, he clicked his tongue rather irritated before raising his narrowed dark eyes to her lighter confused ones.

"It's gone." He mumbled. Yue tilted her head to the side, definitely confused now.

"What's..." She left it hanging when his eyes narrowed even more.

"My mark." He stated, still staring at her with those intense eyes as if he was staring at a prey before being eaten. Her eyes slightly widened before they blinked back down rapidly, the white light from the moon making her flushed cheeks even more visible, what makes it worse was that his eyes were stuck on her, as if he could see right through.

"Y-you......augh" She mumbled to herself, narrowing her eyes in confusement at the internal mixed feelings she was having from the left over tickling and heated touch from his skin on hers with the past few days. Was she always this much of an internal mess....? No....that's a definite no. He's.........he's the one that's making her feel like this......

"Yue" Her name left his lips so naturally, as if they just belonged there with him, all these abrupt embarrassing thoughts made her sigh with narrowed eyes at her lap, then glancing at the staring Natsume who was...closer? Yes he was much closer than before, his face right in front of hers.

"Natsume you wizard, give me back my heart." She pouted slightly, her eyes staring up at him, his eyes widening visibly and sighing curtly with no patience, cutting off the short uneasy distance between them as his lips and hers met with a soft touch, her eyes widening and her body froze, various thoughts entering and some cutting off others before she drew a sudden blank and just mentally sighed softly with a small smile, letting her heart do as it feels.

The moment he slowly pulled away, he softly knocked on her forehead with his, leaning on it slightly. Her eyes lazily opened, revealing a dazed look with no thoughts as his dark crimson ones softened and he leaned forward once more, this time more calmly, their lips meeting again. He turned his head and leaned more towards her, trying to deepen and lengthen the short meeting, making her soft lips move in rhythmic against his gentle yet forceful ones. She panted shortly and breathed in oxygen when he stopped for a second, but only to have her lips captured once more after the tiny break, her hands instinctively going to his chest and using her small strength to push his stronger body a bit of a distance since with the way he kept leaning, her body was already halfway down if it weren't for the wall.

"N-Natsume..." She managed to breathe out as his slightly open lips were a few centimeters away from her panting ones. His eyes were hazed over as he leaned in again, this time instinctively grabbing her by the waist with his free hand, his other intertwined with hers. Though the moment she felt a soft and slicker foreign object entering her mouth, her eyes snapped opened in surprise, -the beating of her heartbeat abnormally high and her face so high in temperature she could have sworn she had a fever-, and pulled back rapidly, staring widened eyed at the confused Natsume that you could literally see the question mark next to his head. Why does he still look unsatisfied oi...!? As if someone stopped him from eating his favorite candy bar...

"E-eh..what was that.." She questioned, still embarrassed at what just happened between her and the fire caster that wouldn't let go of his tight grip on her. His eyes showed realization and his mouth turned into a smirk, irking Yue.

"That was my tongue. Don't worry...I'll teach you." Her eyes widened and her face color changed from a flustered pink to embarrassed light red at what he just stated so easily.

"Your t-tongue..? W-wha..?" He let out an amused chuckle and engulfed her into an unusual happy hug, his arm around her waist tightly as his other handcuffed hand now held onto hers, his head in between her neck and shoulder.

"Finally you're mine." He calmly closed his eyes and comfortably stayed in the same position, this time less stiff. She softly smiled and patted his back with her free hand.

"So.........we both like each other?" Yue questioned herself with a tilt of her head, Natsume moving back and staring with a sweat drop at the calmly blinking Yue, who looked as if nothing happened yet her hidden-behind-her-hair ears were bright pink, Natsume a bit smug for the results he made, making the oh so calm Yue lose her cool.

"Of course, baka." Oh? Yue chuckled lightly upon realizing he just indirectly said he liked her too. Wait too..? Ahh......so she does like him.........

"Sukidayo." She surprise pop kissed him on the lips, his eyes widening from the abrupt action of the ever so calm Yue as she stuck her tongue out and chuckled, Natsume scoffing in his throat, about to do much more worse if it hadn't been for the wall that fell just in that moment after she finished her surprise attack.

"Yue! Natsume! Are you alright?" Ruka ran inside, a worried Mikan right after him, with an accompanied Hotaru for support, but they froze when they saw Natsume's glare that was being hidden by the shadow over his eyes, an angry tic mark present on his head. If only they knew his thoughts were such as 'They interrupted.' Yue chuckled as she stood up calmly and smiled at the group that came to help them.

"It's alright now, arigato for coming, Ruka, Mikan, Hotaru." She tilted her head and bowed with her head in thanks, smiling gratefully as they, -except Hotaru who only nodded with a tiny smile-, blushed slightly and nodded in return. As they walked out, the group in front talking, Natsume walked next to a calmly walking Yue, both behind the group in some distance.

"You know, I don't remember where I put the key....." She mumbled and was stunned, -on the inside-, and calmly grabbed the keys that were hanging in front of her from the familiar hand, then calmly entering the key in the handcuffs and grabbing them when they both opened at the click from the middle.

"...When did you-"

"Before we left the RPG building." He stated casually, both if his hands now inside his pockets. Her eyes narrowed into an unbelievable squint of such.....such trickery!

"Now that you're mine, I can leave my mark on you whenever. Tell me when they disappear so I can add more."

"Natsume!" She mumbled in a hushed whisper, embarrassed of his shameless remarks. And when the hell will she ever ask to be marked..! This..this smug Natsume....!

She halted abruptly, Natsume's own figure halting and turning his head around causally before soft and fast lips met his and leaned into them in a loving form, though just as he was about to lean more or even try anything, they disappeared as he grunted from the sudden lack of her lips against his. She stuck her tongue out and lightly jogged towards the group, Natsume sighing inside his throat while waving a hand through his hair, his narrowed eyes focused on her figure.

Her surprise attacks are really........affective, one might say.
