"Thanks for the ride Natsume!" Natalie called as she waved the brother off. "Anytime Natalie!" he called back before driving off. Natalie sighed before heading inside only to be pounced on by Yashina who looked excited. "Who was that?! He was cute!! Are you two dating?! Why didn't you tell me about this guy?!"
"He's just a guy who drove me home Yashi, don't get too excited okay? He's not my boyfriend. I told you, my heart only belongs to Darius Kaname.." Natalie said while smiling. "I'm heading upstairs, be in my room if you need me."
Yashina watched her run upstairs and sighed. "Hm.." She soon headed to the kitchen to finish making her lunch. What was up with Natalie?
Natalie stepped into her room with a smirk on her face. She shut the door and quickly walked to her closet, fumbling around for a very nice outfit. She was about to play Fuuto Asahina. It's time he got a taste of his own medicine..
She picked out a nice red dress adorned with black roses and a few bows. Her hair was pinned in a bun atop her head, and she wore a pair of black pumps. There was a private party going on in the Asahina household, and Natsume invited her. It was Fuuto's birthday. She was about to give him a present he'll never forget..
Yashina caught Natalie just as she ran out the door and headed down the sidewalk. She leaned in the window, watching her jump into the same car she'd arrived in earlier that day. What on earth was going on with her?

Natalie leaned back against the seat as she gazed out the window.
"You look beautiful" Natsume stated as he held the steering wheel, only sparing her a quick glance. Natalie looked over and sighed, "thank you. I figured it's a party, may as well dress up right? Especially since you invited me."
Natsume smirked as he turned down a side street. "Well, I'll definitely have the cutest plus one at the party" he said before taking a right turn toward a large home. "I'm glad I found a pretty young woman to join me, otherwise I'd be stuck going alone, and my brothers would tease me." Natalie smiled and looked out the window.
"I'm glad you invited me" she said as they parked. She stepped out and looked at the huge, beautiful home. Natsume joined her and took her arm before they approached the front door and he stepped in with her. They headed toward a pair of elevators and stepped in. "I'm sure everyone will enjoy your company Natalie."
Natalie nodded. "I am enjoyable company" she said before they stepped out of the elevator. Natsume pulled her down some stairs and they entered a pretty crowded dining room. "Where's the birthday boy?" he asked as they approached the table. Natsume moved from Natalie and hugged a small brunette woman in his arms.
"Ema, you look beautiful tonight, where's Yuusuke?" he asked. Ema, a young woman with short brunette hair, pale skin and deep brown eyes smiled at him. "He'll be here soon, he's picking up Tsubaki and Azusa.." Both engaged in a conversation, leaving Natalie on her own.
"Oh? Hello?"
Natalie turned to the voice and smiled as she saw a young man in a nice gray suit, red shirt and black tie staring at her with bright blue eyes. He had nicely combed blonde hair and a charming smile. "Oh! My apologies. I am Ukyo Asahina, you must be Natsume's plus one?" Ukyo said as he shook her hand.
"Natalie Simmons, and yes I am. Pleasure to meet you Ukyo" she stated as they shook hands. "Heey! Something smells amazing in here Uky- Oh? Hi there strange pretty girl!" a young man with soft white hair and a bright smile greeted her. He took her hand in his. "Tsubaki Asahina, you are?" "N.. Natalie Simmons, nice to meet you Tsubaki."
"Natalie.. What a beautiful name" Tsubaki flirted as he gazed into her deep brown eyes.
Tsubaki's twin brother Azusa stepped in next and greeted her. Natalie shook his hand as they met. She soon met a young man with messy dark red hair and brown eyes. This was Yuusuke Asahina, and Ema's husband. Natalie just stood there being greeted by all of Fuuto's brothers. She felt like some sideshow attraction.
"You're Natsume's date?" Subaru asked as he stood beside her sipping some punch from his glass. "He should really keep an eye on you, some of my brothers are creeps. That's just a warning" the dark haired male warned. "Not me of course, but it's nice to meet you Natalie" he said before walking off.
Natalie sighed as she grabbed a glass of punch for herself and took a long drink.
