Chapter 6 – getting drunk
Being made to murder the person whom had murdered his father would usually be a happy thing for people who want revenge but apparently, natsume was just the opposite. His father had taught him never to take revenge even if his father had been killed by the most evil man on earth. A life was lost just like that! [poof!] And someone’s dead. It was as if natsume didn’t even need to lift a finger and he already killed someone (which is very true). Although to natsume it felt like hours, after a short two minutes the building sorta burst into flames and collapsed onto the floor thoroughly. Sirens were getting softer cos luke was being transported to a hospital and reiko who was still hugging natsume was hurled with him into the car and away from the fire. Still patting his head but no longer hugging, reiko was at a lost as to what to say and what to do. She didn’t know what had happened inside to make natsume cry so much and she didn’t know how to make it better. She also didn’t know how to explain to natsume why she was here…but thankfully natsume had fallen asleep on her shoulder ^^.
Kenji and shino were sitting infront still in an argument while kumo fetched them all to their homes.
“natsume, are you awake?” calls reiko when the car stopped.
Natsume murmurs and stirs but nothing happens and when he wouldn’t walk on his own, kumo carried him to an empty room which was installed with a bed. kumo then used the toilet in that room to bath natsume and changed him into the clothes of one of the servants. Of course, this was an order from reiko who was currently enjoying her bath with numerous questions in her head. Solving each of them one by one, she came out of her room and went into the empty room to be greeted by the sleeping figure of natsume. Kumo bowed to her and asked if she needed anything so she said, “water and… maybe a bottle of vodka.”
“my lady, you are underaged”
“oh I know. Just today! Please?”
“your every wish is my command”
“thanks kumo. Don’t tell dadi!”
“affirmative”
Reiko smiled at her butler who seemed to be more of a overly formal father to her than a butler. Kumo was only a nickname reiko called him by because she couldn’t pronounce his name right when she was small. Since then, many servants in the house forgot his real name while the new servants thought his name was kumo. Just as she was reminiscing about this, natsume stirred.
“aunty…”
“did you say something natsume?”
“one bear two milk three figurines two rabbits one chick one hamster three roses two tulips three ice creams two rings five sweets…”
“huh? Whats with that list?”
“must go…”
“where?”
“collect… one bear two milk three figurines two rabbits one chick one hamster three roses two tulips three ice creams two rings and five sweets…”
“huh? From where?”
“for you…”
“for me?”
“for---“
And reiko is lost in a puddle. Soon kumo returns with her vodka and her water before taking his leave again. Just as he was at the door, he asked reiko, “my lady, would you like me to carry a bed over so you can sleep next to natsume dono tonight?”
“nice thinking kumo! Ill do just that! Thanks ^^”
“not a problem”
Reiko finishes the water in one gulp, just realising that she was horrendously thirsty. She thought that natsume would probably be in a worst state since he actually was in the fire and had cried quite a lot. Cancelling out the option of mouth to mouth water rationing, she called for a spoon and another cup of water. Slowly but steadily, she dropped spoons of water into the mouth of natsume which she kinda forced open about 2 cm. reiko kinda wanted to wake natsume up but didn’t have the heart to do it so she showed it by pouring water into his mouth faster but all natsume did was gulp faster instead of SUDDENLY AWAKEN. Then again, reiko already suspected that this would happen =.=
Quite tired of scooping water, she drank few sips of vodka before falling asleep on a bed right beside natsume only separated by the side table that held the vodka and empty glass of water.

In the middle of the night, natsume awakes SERIOUSLY thirsty just as reiko thought he would be. Seeing the bottle of vodka beside him, he hoped that it was sparkling water and poured it into the empty cup he saw beside the bottle of ‘sparkling water’. In the darkness, he couldn’t see very well but even if he could, unless he read the label on the bottle he wouldn’t know what he was drinking wasn’t water. And since he didn’t bother to use his sense of smell, he gulped it down thinking it was sparkling water only to find himself wanting more of the drink. Rendering it weird that he would like such a queer taste and thinking of it as simply, ‘weird tasting water’, he drank yet another cup AND another cup AND another cup to find himself hicking up. At this point in time, with a hic and hic and yet another hic, reiko wakes up and switches on the bedlamp. Then she stifles a scream when she realises that more than half of the vodka was gone and that natsume had drank it. Taking the cup and bottle away from natsume as well as her desire to sleep, she slapped natsume once on the right and once on the left.
“YEOUCH! What was that for!”
“you idiot! You were drinking vodka for goodness sake!”
“vodka? No wonder it smelled and tasted different…”
“ARGH I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT!” reiko tries to shout as loud a whisper as she could.
“reiko?”
“yea?”
“oh. I was wondering who you were and where I was…”
“OH MY GOOD LORD YOU!!!!” and reiko gives up on the loud whispering but pillow hits natsume instead.
“HEY! WAIT A SEC! HOLD IT! GAH!”
“IM NOT LETTING YOU OFF NATSUME. NO WAY.” And she forgets to whisper totally but shouts instead.
The servants all awaken and listen to the shouts and yells thinking…’ahh what a fun day it must be for my lady.’ Instead of barging in and asking what happened. After all, they rarely see their lady so lively ^^
As reiko attacks natsume with her pillow as well as the pillow natsume was using, natsume runs away from her stumbling and starting to feel the effects of the vodka. Almost slamming into a drawer, reiko catches him by his clothes and says, “shouldn’t the guy save the girl? Shouldn’t the girl cry into the guys shoulder?”
Suddenly aware of how rude he has been to reiko, he abruptly stepped on reiko’s foot in attempt to regain his composure. This time, they switch places. Natsume supports himself with one hand pressed on to the wall, while Reiko faces the floor with her waist resting her full weight on natsume’s other arm. Natsume winces but carefully holds on to reiko. Then, reiko started sobbing which shocked natsume who almost dropped reiko. As if his loosening on reiko was a button, reiko started wailing! Natsume wasted little time in pulling reiko up and letting her lean on the side of the bed. Then reiko pulled natsume’s clothes [the end of his shirt] towards her face and cried into them. Natsume had no idea why reiko was crying and was half hugging reiko while stroking her hair on impulse and in shock.

Kumo had been standing outside their room listening incase anything bad happened but when nothing happened, he chuckled out loud to himself, “my lady cannot handle drinks very well can she?”
