Authoress' Note: I'm sorry for the wrong spelling in the 1st chapter like Iinchou's name, and I am also thankful for the readers, though you didn't review, at least you read it, and I'm very thankful for the reviewers for reviewing. This is not yet the interesting or climax part of the story, so please bear with it for now. Also, within the four years Natsume didn't cut classes like when he was in the elementary before. Anyway, thank you again. Read on!
Chapter 2: Each other's POV
Honestly, Mikan was really disappointed, because she can't go to the Central Town tomorrow, but the possible reasons that may cause Natsume's fainting can't get out of Mikan's head.
After what just happened that night, Mikan hesitated to leave the hospital, but Hotaru convinced her, I mean forced her to go back to their rooms. Natsume might not get any sleep, if Mikan stayed in his room.
So now Mikan is pondering in her room; walking back and forth.
Mikan's room improved, since she was already a 2-star student. It was a bedroom with a simple closet at the left side of the room and a simple bed at the right side of the room. Also, there was a mini-refrigerator beside Mikan's bed, a bathroom beside the closet and a desk with a chair just beside the door. Of course, Mikan decorated her room with some stuff toys that she bought from the Central Town and some other decors that are pleasing to her. Anyway…
Mikan's POV:
That Natsume, what was he thinking? How can he be over fatigue if he didn't do anything? Mikan thought as she was standing on her bed.
How can I go to Central Town now? What if I just go to Central town with Hotaru! But her idea went down in a cliff when she thought of Mr. Jinno's face in her mind.
Aw man, that wouldn't work. Hmmm, going back about Natsume, what did he do to like, "overuse" his body? Is it because of the fourth type? Mikan sat at her bed for a moment.
Stop thinking about that! That's not going to happen, is it? I mean, there could be a possibility that he's the third type. Instead of his life span, his Alice's life span will be shortened. So what am I worrying about, right? Grr! Why am I asking these questions to myself?
While still wearing her pajamas, Mikan stepped out of her room and knocked at Hotaru's door, since her room was just near.
"(Knock, knock) Umm, Hotaru can I talk to you for a sec?" Mikan asked knocking at the door.
After a few moments, a mini-gun came out from the door's center.
"Intruder, you have 10 seconds to go back where you came from." A computer voice said.
"(10) Wha-What? (9) What do (8) you mean? (7)" Mikan asked out loud while the computer continued to count.
"(6) But I need (5) to talk to (4) Hotaru!" Mikan shouted.
"3… 2… 1… 0… Target locked, extermination commencing"
"Huh?" Before Mikan can do or say anything bullets of who knows what it is made of, fired Mikan on the forehead.
"Ouch! Aaahh!" Mikan panicked, the gun won't stop firing at her, so she just ran back to her room.
"She can at least just say that she's not available!" Mikan said as she falls on the bed. (If you know what I mean). Thus, her pondering continued…
Waaah! Mikan shouted.
I'm back to where I'm started. Grr! I don't know why, but I'm still worried about Natsume... I just can't help it! This is very rare for Natsume to be like this! What if, what if it is because of the academy? I can still remember what happened four years ago. 'Black cat'… The words black cat won't stop ringing in her mind.
Whatever he was doing or going to do, I'm going to find out! Wahaha! Mikan laughed an evil laugh before she slept, but the "black cat" just can't get out of her head.
In the Hospital…
Natsume's body was still aching and it seems that he's being tortured or something. His eyes were still closed, but in his mind, in his dream, his eyes were clearly open and he can't see anything but a dark place with no light.
"Natsume…" A cold voice called him.
"Who's there? Show yourself or I'll burn you!" Natsume called back, threatening the person that had just called him.
"Natsume… you haven't change, have you…?" The voice responded.
"…" Natsume stood silently.
"But it seems you have grown well and also getting stronger each day…" A person with black haired stood closely to Natsume. He was wearing a white mask covering half of his face; also he was wearing a black dress with matching black high-heeled shoes.
"Persona…" Natsume whispered to himself.
"Do not forget Natsume-kun you still have missions to do." Persona continued. "Since you are older now, you are obliged to get harder missions than before…" Natsume glared at the teacher.
"Natsume… you will now have to deal with the…… which are stronger than your opponents before." Natsume didn't say anything, as if he didn't care.
"Don't worry about your classes; you are excused whenever you are absent. All you have to do now is do what you are told."
Natsume then woke up with his eyes wide open, while catching his breath as if he can't breathe.
"Darn that Persona." Natsume cursed. But what can he do? He can't protest at all, it was for the academy, wasn't it?
"Tomorrow, another mission, huh?" Natsume told himself. He then laid his head back on the pillow.
"I guess I'm in the hospital again…" Natsume looked at the ceiling, thinking about his almost daily missions. He closed his eyes trying to sleep again, and the last thing or person in his mind was Mikan.
"Stupid girl" he whispered and went back to sleep.
Tomorrow came once again and Mikan decided to pay a visit to the hospital and she invited Hotaru and the others too.
"What are those sunflowers for, Mikan?" Iinchou asked.
"Is that for Natsume?" Ruka added.
"Yup!" Mikan replied with a giggle. "I hope his well!" Mikan continued. "Well enough to go with me in Central Town. Hehe."
Mikan was filled with joy and excited to go to the hospital.
So they went to the hospital and knocked at Natsume's door, but no one answered.
"It seems that Natsume's still sleeping." Ruka stated.
"I don't care… :)" Mikan replied then she slammed the door opened.
They found a neat bedroom without a Natsume in it, with the window clearly open. (Typical escape route)
"Wha- What? Where's Natsume?"
Authoress' Note: Obviously, the last person to speak was Mikan. Anyway, thank you again for reading. I promise you that this story will become more interesting in the further chapters. Please keep on reading and reviewing. And please review this chapter before going on the next. :)
