Natsume sat against a tree and started to recall what had just happened…
Flash back:
Natsume was walking back to school after he had done his job and now he just wanted to chill out and read one of his many manga.
He was just passing by the Northern forest when he heard a twig snap, he slowly looked up and was shocked by what he saw… Persona!
What the hell was he doing here?
He was meant to be dead and Natsume was meant to be free from ever seeing him again.
The man vanished with a smirk before Natsume could even react and he damn well new what Natsume was thinking by the expression on his face.
Funny thing was though, that he wasn't wearing a mask that prevented his Alice from working at full strength.
End of Flash back
"For crying out loud! Don't tell me he's damn well back!" Natsume spat out to no one in particular.
The image of that man's face was still bringing him chills.
He had seen a lot of gruesome things in his life, but never something that horrible!
Without his mask Persona's face had many patches on it that were slowly rotting away as if his Alice hated the very body it was stored in.
Natsume shuddered and decided to remain quiet about this for the time being and if anything started to act up he would have to report it to the high school principal (they're in high school now… I forget to mention it in the other chapters. Sorry!! Please forgive me!)
For now he'd just have to act like nothing was wrong at all and just go through the day.
Not hard at all for him (I mean come on! He's famous for his lack of social skills and etc, besides this is just hiding one little discovery that he has made and he's had a lot of experience in lying, so it's not a problem!)
Though may have been a little flaw in his plans: MIKAN.
She could suss out almost anything that he was hiding from her now and could practically read his heart, sometimes he wondered if she had acquired some heart reading Alice or something but there was one emotion he felt that she was oblivious to.
Yes, that's right; LOVE (wow Natsume, you really are bad at this whole love concept~) It was the only emotion he knew she couldn't and was really sure that she didn't love him back like loved her.
Natsume sighed at the thought and wondered why he was thinking about this now at a time like this (well Mikan should know about this too Natsume. She's just as involved in this situation as you are, but you probably aren't going to tell her… I'm right aren't I? P.S the audience that's reading this probably saw this coming XD).
Oh well he decided just wouldn't tell her as she was to precious to lose and he'd take any punishment any day to keep her away from this cold hearted and side he was on (aawww so sweet yet so naïve! I love this kind of Natsume!).
Now he'd better get back to his room…
Meanwhile…
Mikan slowly opened her eyes and looked around her room and saw she wasn't sleeping on her bed but on her couch and it hit her like a like a lightning bolt at top speed (literally) and remembered Natsume and how he was injured badly and how she had treated his wounds and laid him on her bed.
She looked around for him but he wasn't there and to top it all off her she smelt something that had gotten burnt recently and was shocked to realise that it was her favourite pink fluffy blanket's ashes on the floor.
Mikan's lips went into a tight line as…
5…
4…
3…
2…
1…
"NATSUME!!!!!!!!!"
