Chapter 3
Flashbacks (This is the title of the chapter, sorry)
*Lunch time* Normal POV
The gang excluding Hotaru was in the cafeteria eating their lunch when Hotaru, barged in the room holding a big box. The gang looked at her, wondering what's in the box. Hotaru stood in front of the table, the gang staring at her. She placed the box in the table looking pissed. (Probably because she was up all night trying to finish the invention) 'This is all Mikan's fault' she thought.
"Here, you have to wear this all the time," she said then she started handing them each a device. Earrings and bracelet for the girls and dog tags necklace for the boys. "If you don't wear all the time, I will kill you," she warned them
"Why do we have to wear them?" Anna asked as she took the earrings and bracelet
"Mikan's orders," Hotaru replied, then she handed a dog tag necklace at Ruka, who looked stunned.
"You know I don't need one," Ruka said
"It's not for you, it's for Hyuuga" she said his name in an icy tone. Ruka nodded and took it
"Why does Hyuuga need one?" Nonoko asked in a curios voice
"Same answer as before," Hotaru said she was more pissed now
"Why would Mikan want that? After all the things that he did to her," Anna said
"Come to my room after school, I will explain" Hotaru said, then she looked at the Mind reader who hasn't said a word since she came, he notice that she was staring at him and just nodded. 'Why did you just nod?' Hotaru asked herself, then she remember something
"Koko," the mind reader stared at her, "You told us you and Mikan are bonded right?" she said in a low voice so only the gang can hear. The gang looked at Koko who nodded. "Can you still communicate with her?" Koko then tensed up. That answered the question.
"What is she doing now?" Anna asked
"Is she okay?" Nonoko asked
"Where in America is she?" Yuu asked
"She's sleeping," Koko said
"Huh?"
"Time difference," Koko stated
"If she's sleeping, why do you look so concentrated?" Hotaru asked
"Just trying to get some information from out little friend," Koko said with a smirked
The gang knew who they were talking about, they wanted to know what he has been reading but they couldn't asked because there were too many people in the cafeteria.
"Later," was all he said then his face turned serious again.
"I'm going to my dorm to sleep, don't forget to come to my dorm," Hotaru said she was about to turn around but then she nearly forgot something. She remember what Mikan told her in the letter about forgiving Hyuuga, she looked at Ruka who felt someone stared at him looked and saw purple eyes looking at him.
"Are you going to do it?" she asked him in the low voice. Ruka looked at the dog tag necklace that Hotaru gave him when she came and stared at it.
"I might just give him this, but I don't know if I should forgive him," he said Hotaru nodded and left the cafeteria.
*By the Sakura tree, last class period* (Natsume's POV)
I didn't get any sleep from last night at all. That's probably because all the events that has been happening in the past two months kept replying in my head. My body, my mind and my mouth acted on its own. I didn't have any control on my own body at all. It felt like some was controlling and made me do those stuff to Mikan. 'Oh Mikan' I thought. There was a part of my memory that I remember clearly, it was the night when I broke up with her. I lied on the tree trunk with my left leg hanging out.
*Flash back* the day that Natsume broke up with Mikan
Still Natsume's POV- BOLD=is Natsume's own thoughts.
After I walked away from Ruka, I saw Luna. I walked towards her, and when she saw me she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me on the lips. Eww... why am I kissing this slut? I started kissing her back, wrapping my arms around her waist to pull her closer. I pulled away and stared into her eyes. Why did I just kissed her? Why isn't my body responding to any of my commands?
. What the hell is happening!
*Night*
I head to the Northern Forest.
I stood on the tree trunk waiting for a person to walk by. I didn't know what I was doing, somehow my own body lead me to the forest.
I looked down and saw a figure walking, I stared at her, and she stared back at me. What is Mikan doing here, in the middle of the night?
I took out my palm and fire was form. I blasted it at her, when she saw the fire she jump to dodge. Why are you blasting fire at Mikan? Are you trying to hurt her? When she landed on the ground, I surrounded her with fire. I know she was trying to make the fire disappear but she couldn't, I took that chance to try and burn her. STOP! Are you trying to kill her? Why aren't you listening to me? I was smirking at her, and stared at me in horror and sadness, tears was falling down her eyes as I watch her burn. I stopped the fire and stared at her with sadness. Mikan I'm sorry!
"Don't stop," a voice said. I turned around and saw Luna was standing behind on another tree trunk. I nodded at her and then looked at Mikan who was starting to pass out, Run Mikan! I was about to surround her with fire again, but she teleported somewhere.
"What are you doing here, babe?" I jump to the tree where Luna was standing and wrapped my waist around her.
"I missed you," she said as she gave me a peck on the lips. "Plus, I wouldn't want to miss this action," she looked at the area where Mikan was standing.
I smirked at her and gave her a kiss on the lips. Why do you keep kissing her? Go to Mikan Now! She's hurt! Go to her!
*Flashback Ends*
Still Natsume's POV
After the incident from that night, Mikan didn't go to class for two days. From then on, none of the gang talked to or even looked at me. I even lost my best friend, Ruka. I knew he was mad at me from what I said to me that time. Calling him Bunny boy and telling him that he should be happy that I broke up with Mikan. I'm the worst friend. I knew that Imai wanted to kill me every time I make a joke about how much I've hurt Mikan, but always failed cause Mikan and Ruka are always there to stop her before she rip my head of or before I burn her to crisp.
I never wanted to do any of those to them and especially Mikan. No matter how much I tried to tell my body what to do it doesn't listen. All those action that I did wasn't from me. When I find out who made me do those to Mikan, I'm going to kill them.
"Urgh!" I said in frustration
"I see, you are finally back to reality," a familiar voice came from under the tree
"How long have you been here?" I asked, I was sitting up on the tree and was staring at the person that was sitting by the tree.
"Since you started spacing out," he answered. I jump down from the trunk stepped closer to him. He looked at me and threw something. I manage to catch it, I looked at it and it was a dog tag necklace. I looked at the person.
"Imai told me that I should give this to you," he said
"Why Ruka?" I asked
"She said that it was Sakura's order," he replied. I stood still, why would Mikan want me to have this? After all the things that I did. (Well, technically it wasn't me. Someone was controlling me) I stared at Ruka with shock. He looked up at me and he stood up.
"You have to wear that or Imai will kill you," he said. "And since Sakura is not here anymore, I don't think I can stop her," he added. I was still looking at him, he wasn't looking at me anymore, he was looking at the sky.
"When did you come back to normal?" he asked
"Yesterday, after what happened in the classroom," I answered
"I guess the mark is gone, thanks to the Nullification Alice stone that Sakura gave Imai," he said thinking that I wouldn't be listening, but I heard him.
"What mark?" I asked. He looked at me he was about to answer but his phone rang
"Hello?" Ruka answered
"I'm by the Sakura tree,"
"I'm with Natsume,"
"Okay I'll be there," he looked at me and then said, "Okay, I'll bring him." then he hung up
"Sorry, but you have to come with me to Imai's Room," he said then he started walking, I followed him. As I was walking, I put the dog tag necklace around my neck and tugged it inside my shirt.
When we got to Imai room, Ruka knocked on the door but without waiting for anyone to open the door for him, he opened it himself. He then walked in and I followed.
As I walked in I saw the gang, the boys were sitting on the couch and some were on Imai bed. I saw Imai staring at the view outside her window. I closed the door behind me and leaned on the wall while everyone's eyes were on me.
"Do anything funny Hyuuga and you're dead," Imai said looking at me, I nodded in response. I looked around looking for Ruka and saw that he was standing behind Imai looking out the window. I looked at Yuu and then at Koko who looked concentrated. I then looked at Anna and Nonoko who was sitting on the bed staring at Imai.
"Hotaru, will you tell us now why we have to wear this?" Anna took out her earrings and bracelet and showed it to Imai.
Imai signed and went to the study table and took the Manila envelope. She walked to the back to where she was standing before and holds the envelope up. All eyes were on the envelope except Ruka's and Koko's.
"I have been doing some research about Luna Koizumi," she began. "With the help of some people, I finally got all the information that I needed. Koizumi is a spy from the AAO, the organization that kidnapped Hyuuga," she looked at me and then started talking again, "from the information that I've read it said here, that Koizumi as an Alice called Soul Sucking Alice."
"What a Soul Sucking Alice?" Yuu asked
"It's an Alice that could control you with everything that you, and makes you do things out of your will," Ruka was the one that answered. He was staring at me.
"The first victim of that she targeted was, Hyuuga" Imai said as she pointed at me
'Now I know who did it too me, get ready to be killed Luna Koizumi,' I thought
"Then why is he here? Isn't he still under that bitch's control?" Anne asked
Ruka and Imai shake their head from left to right.
"I believe that the mark has already vanished," Imai said as she looked at me. I nodded in response.
Imai was going to say something else but was interrupted by Koko.
"Hotaru, can I borrow you laptop?" he asked. Imai looked at him and nodded. She walked to her bedside table took the laptop and gave it to Koko.
Koko opened the laptop and started typing.
"Koko, what are you doing?" Nonoko asked but didn't answered
Natsume's POV ends
Koko's POV – italic- Koko's thoughts. –italic & bold Mikan's thoughts
The gang was in Hotaru's room and they were talking about Luna. I was trying to concentrate on Luna's head trying to read her mind as she talked on the phone. Then, a person interrupted me and started speaking in my head.
Koko
Mikan, you're awake
I was woken up with your busy thoughts
Sorry! Luna's thoughts were too loud I couldn't ignore it.
Anyway, I sent you something on your mail. It contains all the real faces of the AAO.
How did you get them?
I have my source. Go borrow Hotaru's laptop and go on your email. And tell Hotaru to pile the information on the ground with the picture on the front showing. When you see the picture, I want you to print them out and I'll help you put the right picture in the right place.
Okay!
"Hotaru, can I borrow you laptop?" I asked. Hotaru looked at me and nodded. She walked to her bedside table took the laptop and gave it to me.
I opened the laptop and started typing my email address.
"Koko, what are you doing?" Nonoko asked but I didn't answered
I saw the pictures that Mikan sent me and I was ready to print.
"Hotaru where's your printer?" I asked
"Just print it, I'll get it for you," she replied. I nodded and press print on the screen
Hotaru left the room after a few minutes she came back and handed the paper to me. I could feel everyone's eyes staring at me. I tried to ignore there stare and thoughts.
"Can I borrow the envelope?" I asked Hotaru, she nodded and gave it to me.
I put the laptop on the tea table and stood up holding the papers that contains the picture, and the envelope.
I walked to a space where there is heaps of room and kneeled down. I spread the papers on the fall, and started filing them with the pictures on top. Everyone has formed a circle around me watching every steps, even Natsume has joined the circle.
Okay, what do I do now Mikan?
Okay, on the first page of the paper you are holding, it's a person that has Strawberry- Blonde hair right.
Yeah
You should know who that is.
LUNA!
Yes. Put that picture with her file.
Koko's POV ends.
Normal POV
Everyone watched Koko as he put pictures on files. They scanned each off the picture and looked at Koko.
"Done,"
"What is this?" Hotaru asked. Koko gave her a smile
"I solve a puzzle," Koko replied
"Huh?"
"I want you guys to look at each of the piles as I explain what I just did," Koko said. When he saw them nod, he started to explain.
"The pictures on top are the real faces of the people in AAO. This one," he pointed at the picture of a man with black hair and snakes eyes. "Is called Mihara Kanbu, he has an appearance of a thirteen years," pointing at the photo next to it. "His Alice is Mind Manipulation. He can control your mind and make you do thinks like Koizumi. But this one he doesn't need to touch you, if meet his eyes you'll be completely under control."
He was now on the last person. "This one," he pointed at a woman. "You all know who this person is." Koko said.
"Don't tell me, that's Koizumi?" Ruka asked Koko nodded at him. The whole room was filled with gasp.
"That's Koizumi?" Natsume asked, Koko looked at him and saw that he was furious. He nodded.
"How come all their appearance are thirteen years old students?" Anna asked
"They are spies from the AAO, I don't know how long they will be here for, but watch out for them. Especially Mihara Kanbu," Koko said
"Where did you get all this information?" Natsume asked 'And why do you know so much'
"I have my source," he smiled. He looked at everyone trying to see if they have absorbed the information that he just said. They looked at him and nodded.
