Chapter 3: The Truth

Flashback

I opened my eyes to see Takanashi-san's hand waving in front of my eyes. "We have to go now Sakurano-san! I'll explain things to you later!!" His eyes turned from dark blue to dark green. His eyes are almost back to normal…

"Let's go." I followed him, thinking of Mikan and the other guy. Hopefully they'll be safe…

End of Flashback

In a Secret Location

Normal POV

"Kuro Neko, Baka Neko… you have a new mission." A masked man passed a folder to two kids.

The red masked girl cheeks rose. "I'm not a baka! Can I PLEASE have a different name?" She grumbled in anger. Then she reached toward the folder, only to see it caught in her partner's hands.

He opened the folder and took a quick glance. "You really think you aren't one?" The girl turned and stared at the young man in disbelief. She stared at him and tried to grab the folder out of his hands… she failed. The Kuro Neko grinned as she tripped over his leg trying to get the folder. With an angry groan, she threatened to use her alice to get the notebook.

The older man wearing the white mask coughed. "Ahem, ever heard of 'Sharing is Caring?'" The kids stared at him, blank and angry looks in their eyes. He sighs. "Well, it seems the AAO has attacked... Where are the other kids in this class?" The two nekos ignored him and began to fight; the battle started getting serious. "Stop acting immature. You guys fight too much."

Both kids stopped arguing and sat down. The girl looked back and forth, and then she sat still. After a couple of seconds, she girl spoke, her voice attracting everyone's attention. "The other people are arriving as we speak."

The man sighed. "How slow. I'll wait for the others." He shrugged. "Well, you two, go stop the AAO." He knew by the time the other students got there, the AAO would almost be obliterated.

"Sure." The girl said as she walked off. Then she jumped in a tree and sprinted away.

"Hn." The boy walked away into the darkness.

Over to the Safety Area

Aya's POV

I panted heavily next to Kaito. He looked at me with concern in his eyes. "Are you all right Sakurano-san?" He walked over to the water supply as I coughed. I eyed the area, only seeing tall trees and no buildings in sight.

I sighed/coughed. Wow… I am so out of shape!! "I'm ok, you can call me Aya… it'll be a lot easier."

He handed me a water bottle and told me to sit down. "Ok then Aya-chan, you can call me Kaito." He smiled and his eyes turned bright green. His eyes danced around as I glanced into them.

Before I began to question him, I opened the bottle and took a nice long drink. The water felt so nice… I never realized how thirsty I was. By the time I put the bottle down, it was empty. I heard Kaito chuckle and saw him go grab another one. He handed it to me. "Thanks."

He sat down beside me and watched me for a couple of seconds. "What? You don't have ANY questions?" I turned toward him after gulping down the second bottle… he looked different before.

I took in a deep breath. "Of course I have questions… Before, when we were in the classroom, what did you mean by dangerous ability class?"

He closed his eyes and thought. When he opened them, the same dark blue from before came back. "Well, the Dangerous Ability class is a class for people with dangerous alices." I listened intently and my mind began to understand. "Any other questions?"

"None right now…" We sat quietly in the forest where a whole mess of students were. Some girls were bawling over their running makeup. Some guys pushed to get past the teachers to go try to fight. I looked around for some familiar faces; actually, I was only searching for one. Mikan... if you die out there…I don't know what I would do… "Hmm… I wonder what alice I have."

"Well, if you didn't have an Alice and Mikan-chan tried to get you here, your soul would have been lost between worlds forever!" He made large gestures as he explained to me. He looked like a little boy, frightened and cute at the same time.

Water spurted out of my mouth. The water barely missed Kaito's arm. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" I was angry… and amazed. Crazy Mikan... did she even know what she was doing?!

He suppressed a laugh by coughing. His eyes turned to a light green color. "Yes. Mikan JUST copied that alice from me yesterday… I can't believe she met someone that quickly… it took me about two years to finally connect with someone!"

I looked up, surprised. "You're the soul carrier!"

"Yeah… I guess I am the soul carrier." He smiles, showing off his white and shiny teeth. "Did you have another question for me?" I stared at him… This guy is WAY to nice…

I took quick look around to see if there were any eavesdroppers… none in sight, everyone was too far away to hear us. I sighed in relief. "Well, I was wondering why Mikan came to me…"

He sat there, thinking hard. "I'm not entirely sure… I've never seen anyone use my alice before. I just connect with random people… I'm not sure how my alice would work with Mikan… sorry." He scratched his head in an apologetic way.

"It's ok… Another question, you can just meet random people? Like people without alices?"

His body became rigid. He sat up straight and closed his eyes again. "Yes… but that means they can't enter our world." He opened his now deep purple eyes and watched me.

I shivered at this new eye color. What does purple mean…? Green means happy… blue means angry? I fidgeted and moved about in my spot.

"Oh… I see" I really couldn't think of anything else to say. Man… he must think I'm a complete idiot.

He blinked and his eyes turned gold. Man, what is up with all these colors?! "I'm curious about your past Aya-chan. What happened to you, if you don't mind me asking?"

I blinked. What's going on? His eyes shift too much! I paused for a second before I spoke. "What do you mean what happened to me?" My voice wavered as I spoke.

His golden eyes stared into my eyes. "Everyone person I connected with had a… problem with their life… I was just wondering what happened with yours, that is, if you don't mind."

"I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing bad happened." I flashed a fake smile and turned away from his piercing golden eyes. Please don't enter… the darkness in my life. I don't want anyone else to get hurt.

He blinked, his eyes now an orangey color, he glimpsed at my face, confused. "Huh… ok then." He didn't sound convinced but he stopped asking those kind of questions.

I sighed in relief. Sorry Kaito-kun… "So… I wonder what my alice is…"

He closed his eyes and when he opened them, they were back to the original color, dark green. "I don't really know… Mikan seems to have an idea though…"

A few seconds later, a blonde guy walks up to us. He smiled a bit. "Did Natsume and Mikan-chan already leave?" His cerulean eyes blinked innocently.

Everyone has such pretty eyes…wait a second! Isn't this that guy that sat next to the crimsoned eye guy… Natsume I think? "Yeah, they left."

His small smile turned to a mini frown. Then he smiled again. "Thanks. I was wondering where they went. Oh I know this is a little late but nice to meet you Sakurano-san. I'm Ruka Nogi. You came here with Mikan right?" He stuck out his hand toward me.

I grabbed his hand and shook it. His smooth skin had a warm feeling to it. "Yeah, she brought me here." I smiled as best as I could.

Ruka let go of my hand. He waved good-bye to Kaito and I. "Well, I have to go now. Ja ne!" He walks away, his blonde hair swaying in the wind.

Far away, I hear a bunch of girls squealing in delight. (Sweat drop) A bunch of them feinted… probably an attempt to get Nogi-san to notice them. Girls are such STRANGE creatures. "That was strange. Ano… where exactly did Mikan and Natsume go?" I looked up at Kaito's orange eyes.

His orange eyes turned to a bright green. "Well, they are in the Dangerous Ability class, so they protect the school… that's all I know. Sorry." He smiles sheepishly. Holy crap! He's so perfect!

The girls around us swooned at his smile. Ah so they were trying to get Nogi-san AND Kaito-kun's attention. Both he and I had sweat drops falling down our heads. "I wonder when they'll be back…" Hours passed by as we look up to the darkening sky. I felt my eyes closing and my brain shutting down. The last thing I heard was "Sleep well."

Meanwhile

Normal POV

"Hey Baka, I got these 50." Natsume pointed to the 50 standing before him.

The goons looked around; some of them were confused. Others stared in disbelief. "Hey little boy? You really think you can take us all??" The men began taunting Natsume.

"Watch me idiots." Natsume began to run toward the guards ready to attack. However, Mikan stuck out her arm, causing Natsume to run straight into her arm. He glared at her as the guards giggled like schoolgirls.

Mikan rotated her arm to get back some feeling into it. "WHAT?!" Mikan shrieked into the Natsume's ear. "No way! That only leaves me with 10! I want at least 30!" She tried to make a compromise with the one of the most stubborn man on this universe. As always… her request was denied.

Natsume wriggled away from her. A couple kicks and punches flew out. "Too late baka, now you have none." Natsume smirked, enjoying every moment of Mikan's anger.

It took Mikan a couple of seconds to realize what just happened. "You're so mean! BAKA!!" She used her water alice to try to pin down Natsume… but since she was angry, she ended up soaking both herself and her partner from head to toe.

Natsume growled in anger and used his fire alice to dry off his clothes. "You're such a baka, your name fits you so well except the Neko is MINE." Mikan stuck her tongue at him then dried herself of.

"Jerk!" She starts walking back to school with Natsume close behind. However… more AAO minions with stronger alices came out of nowhere.

"Crap. Let's go Baka." Natsume's hand light on fire as he prepared to fight versus the 100 or so that have just appeared.

Mikan looked at Natsume with wide eyes. Then she realized she had to fight too! She took a fighting pose and steadied her alice power. This doesn't seem good. One brave man came running toward Mikan.

Mikan stood there as the man came running toward her. She bit her thumb causing two droplets of blood to drip. The blood transformed into two silver swords just in time to plunge in the man's head. Blood splattered all over Mikan's body.

All the people in the AAO gasped. They didn't expect for one of their brave men to die the easily. As they stood there, unprotected and dazed, Natsume jumped in the center of all of them and did a swirl kick. He hit 9 people with one kick. The AAO scrambled together, making them an easier target for the nekos. Both nekos saved up their alices, they knew this would be a long battle. Hundreds fell to the deadly duo.

After a couple of hours, reinforcements began flowing in. It was now or never. "Are you ready for this?" Mikan whispered to Natsume as she held her silver blades. She threw one to Natsume. Then she enchanted her sword with a water spell.

Natsume caught the weapon and it caught on fire. "Ready as ever." He masked his emotions but he knew both Mikan and himself can get seriously injured. He nods as a signal to Mikan and they both run toward the enemies screaming at the top of their lungs.

Back at the Safety Area

Aya's POV

Kaito quickly sat up. He shook me until I was awake. "Let's go get dinner. We've been sitting here for a while."

I sat up. I blinked a couple of times and wiped my eyes. "What??" I shook my head and slid a hand through my messy hair. "It's been 13 hours?! What about my world?"

Kaito stood up and held his hand out toward me. "Oh right! Wasn't it nighttime over there when you left?"

I took some time to think. "Uh… I think so… Yeah! It was."

Kaito's eyes turned to a light green. Yay! I know this color means happy! "Well, if Mikan sends you back before 9 PM, it'll be really early, you live on Earth right?" I nodded. "Good, it'll probably be 6 AM over there when you leave here. Time flies by quicker here then anywhere else."

I grabbed his hand and he helped me stand up. "All right, let's go eat, I'm getting hungry…" He smiled at me. My heart thumped loudly. That's why all the girls want his attention.

Halfway Across the School

Normal POV

Both Natsume and Mikan fell to the ground in exhaustion. They were beat up and bloody from defeating over thousands of alice users. Natsume breathed in deeply. "Baka, time to eat." He attempted to walk but tripped over Mikan's "corpse."

She sighed. "But I'm SO TIRED." She grabbed onto Natsume's arm and pretended to die.

Natsume gasped as if he cared. Then he dropped her onto the ground. "Too tired for food?" Natsume smirked. He knew Mikan very well.

Her eyes opened wide. "NEVER! Let's go!" She grabs Natsume's arm and teleports both of them to the cafeteria.

Cafeteria

Aya's POV

I glide in the cafeteria and I noticed a person. The person had piles of plates, dishes, and cups next to her. She sat there, her mouth stretching wide open to bite into a chicken leg.

"Is that Mikan-chan??" Wasn't she fighting? I walked toward the girl and she turned around.

With the chicken leg in her mouth, she attempted to speak. "Ohawo Awa-cwan!" She gulps down the leg. I should have guessed she was like this.

"When did you get back?" I looked at Mikan as she scarfed down an entire pizza. Well… at least she's not like those other girls who starve themselves. Strange girls… But Mikan has a really nice figure. How does she DO it?

Mikan smiled just before she scarfed down a t-bone steak. "I just got back. I teleported here with this one." She points to Hyuuga-san. "And I work out… a lot." She smiles again.

I thought for a second. Does she train a lot for these missions? How did she read my mind?? I stopped thinking for a second. "So… that's your partner right?" I pointed toward Hyuuga-san.

Mikan nodded. "I wish I had someone nicer… you are so lucky to have Kaito-kun! He's so nice and considerate!" Within a second the temperature began to rise.

"NATSUME PASS OVER THE CHICKEN!!" He ignored her, throwing Mikan into a rage. She took a plate and chucked it at him but he dodged it.

I chuckle to myself. "It can't be that bad. Look at how much you guys are bonding!" Hyuuga-san glared at me. In a moment, fire appeared all around me. The flames circled me and began to singe my clothes, but somehow, the flames disappeared.

Huh? What happe…All I see is black. Pitch black… the place where my heart is truly hiding.

Neko: Mwahaha! How do you like it? Here's Kaito's eye chart for now! (Pulls out Professor glasses and gown) Ahem.

Orange - Confused

Gold - Curious

Light Green - Happy/Joking

Green - Normal

Blue- Angry/Serious

Aya: What's going on…?

Neko: No idea. Go hide Aya-chan, you're ruining the intense atmosphere!

Aya hides behind a random bush.

Mikan: Aya-chan!! (Tearing up) Please be ok!!

Neko: Girls… STRANGE creatures… (Even though I am a girl)

Natsume: Tch. What idiots.

Mikan: HEY!

Neko: Calm down my kitties. (Smirks)
