So I stayed the night at my Aunt Hotaru's and Uncle Ruka's house to spend time with my best friend Sylvia.
"That's what she said!" Sylvia was mimicing the voice of one of the popular girls at our school, Sumire. She was named after her mother, I love her parents but her. . . . . .
"Ruka!!!!" I heard my mother's voice call suddenly "Hotaru!"
She burst into the room quite suddenly looking rather. . . . Crazy. Her hair was a mess, her hands were shaking, her eyes blood shot and she was panting.
Uncle Ruka (not my real uncle) rushed into the room. "Mikan-chan!" His voice was some where between shocked and worried.
"Ruka-kun!!" My mother ran half sobbing to embrace him. I never understood why the two were so close, but I still beat up a few kids who thought my mom was cheating on my bastard of a father. How do I kno this so called Natsume is a bastard? If he wasn't he'd be here, and snap my mom out o the thought that Kaiya is still alive. I'm sorry but my sister's dead.
Sylvia and I looked up at them from where we lay on the floor. "Kids go." Ruka commanded his voice gruff.
We looked at them oddly but left the room none the less. Sylvia and I have these powers, Mom called them Alices. Sylv's is the power of shape shifting. Mine is that of fire and something called a SEC I have yet to discover what that means.
Sylvie used her "alice" to turn us both into cats so we could easily hear the conversation.
"Hotaru!" Called Ruka "Come here please"
The violet eyed women walked into the room and looked at my mother. I sware I heard her mumble "baka" under her breath
"Tell us what happened Mikan" Ruka said gently patting her shoulder
"Alice-pant-fire-pant-ice-pant-message-pant"
"What?" Asked Ruka
"Somebody with the alice of fire and of ice set her a message" Hotaru clarified
Sylvia and I exchanged a glance. "What did it say?" asked Ruka
"The first was in fire in mid air and it said 'Polkadots'" Mom answered "the second was also in fire and it said 'Help us' and the third was in ice it said 'Hahaoya' it looked like the user didn't have much training with their Alice because it quickly shattered." She rushed through her words barely pausing between them.
"Do you think-" Hotaru looked at her husband
"Natsume. . . .?" Ruka trailed off
"I don't know, maybe it's someone's sick thought of a joke!?" My mom sobbed as Hotaru and Ruka hugged her
"No. It had to be..." was Ruka's broken sentence.
"It was." Said Hotaru.
Sylvia turned us back to humans and the rest of the fragile conversation was lost to out ears.
**End of POV**
Sylvia stared at Kaori with worried and frightened eyes. Her best friend's usual expressionless face was still present. But her eyes were a much darker crimson, inside them was anger and hate. It didn't take a genius to notice that much.
"Kaori" whispered Sylvia. Who was actually very much like her father. She had his golden blonde hair and gentle attitude, and Hotaru's violet eyes and reservedness.
"That bastard!" Kaori yelled when they were far enough away from her house.
"Kaori." she tried calming her friend down.
"I can't believe someone would mess with my mom like this!" Kaori continued to rant
"Ori-chan?" Sylvia asked calmly.
"I mean she's half crazy! She thinks my father's going to come backa and that my twin sister isn't dead! Baka!" Kaori went on.
"Kaori-chan?"
"All of this is imposssible!!!!!!!!!!"
"KAORI!!!!!!" Sylvia finally screamed
"What?" Natsume's daughter breathed deeply, trying to calm down. In her hand appeared a flame as she breathed in the fire went up, as she breathed out, it dispeared.
Sylvia looked a the fire in her angry friends hand and touched her shoulder. Kaori looked at her and sighed closing her hand, thus putting out the fire. "I'm listening" she murmured
"You said all of this is impossible." Sylvia stated her voice still calm and gentle.
"Because it is." Kaori started to get angry again.
"You're forgetting something important." Sylvia turned herself into an eagle and flew in a big circle above Kaori's head. Then she landed in front of Kaori and tunred huma again. "Is that possible?"
"It shouldn't be" Kaori answered quietly
"A lot of things shouldn't be possible. People shouldn't be able to control fire. People shouldn't be able to read mind or control ice or the weather or tell the future or even have all animals love them for no apparent reason!" Sylvia said passionately "it shouldn't be possible for you dad and your sister to be alive. . . But that doesn't mean it isn't"
"How do you know al this?" asked Kaori "How do you know about these different powers?"
"My parents--well dad isn't good at keeping secrets." Sylvia nodded "but, I wasn't supposed to tell you"
"Why not!?"
"The school our parents went to was for alices. That school will force everyone with an alice into it. They want the two of us. But mostly you."
As the two talked they were completely unaware of a raven haired man with a breaking heart in the bushes. "My daughter hates me."
"Oh well" said the masked man beside him.
