XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"My, my, you're late, older brother," a brunette chided as she leaned against the trunk of a thick tree. She had been waiting at that exact spot for about 5 minutes now.

"Not my fault that you waited out here longer," Persona shrugged with a it's-your-own-fault look.

The brunette straightened her standing position as she hissed, "You're the one who told me to get ready early!"

"Well, since when did you listen to me," smirked the white masked man. She growled in reply, but did not speak of anything else.

"Whatever, now for Black Cat," the brunette crossed her arms and tapped her foot. She wasn't very keen on waiting for him.

(Note about Mikan's personality- Mikan is only cold when she's 'Ice Princess' and if she gets offended or mad, but other than that, she's still the clumsy 'idiot.' )

"What do you want with me?" a voice asked, a little ticked off.

"Manners, Black Cat," Persona tsked as he continued, "Black Cat meet Ice Princess, Ice Princess, Black Cat."

"Hn," the Ice Princess barely let on that she even cared that Natsume was standing there as Natsume asked, "Tch. Won't she stand out in all blue?"

Mikan thought, 'Don't act like Mikan, don't act like Mikan…'

Persona shrugged as he said, "Not my problem with what she wears."

"Stop talking about me and get down to business. And if you have a problem with what I wear, deal with it and don't whine like a baby," Ice Princess snapped.

"Harsh as always… Mission is to retrieve the disk from AAO. You have two hours, counting… Now," Persona disappeared into the darkness of the night.

"Tch," Natsume said as Mikan followed him as they jumped from tree to tree, searching for the AAO warehouse.

"Where do you think YOU'RE going?" Mikan hissed at Natsume as he tried to jump out of the protective shadows and expose himself as soon as they found the warehouse.

"What do you think?!" Natsume sneered.

"Let me guess, trying to commit suicide?" Mikan hissed at him as she kept a fist on his pitch black shirt.

"Hey! Let go of me!" Natsume snarled as he tried, but gave up on struggling out of Mikan's strong grip. It awed him on how strong this girl was.

"Just wait…" Mikan said as she crouched down on the grass, just outside the building.

"When do you think AA will show up?" a man asked.

"I don't know, we should've expected them by now," the second voice spoke.

"I guess they--!" Mikan attacked that man without a sound as Natsume went for the second.

It was too late since the second one screamed, "THEY'RE HERE!!"

"Let's go," Natsume turned his back on the warehouse before the people dressed in black came running out.

"Wait, what about the disk?" Mikan asked as if Black Cat was stupid.

"I have it," Natsume spoke as he flashed a shiny object in front of Mikan.

"That's not the disk," Mikan said dully as Natsume shot her a confused look.

"Then what is it?" Natsume asked.

"A decoy," Mikan groaned as she punched the man behind her.

"How do you know?" Natsume asked as he burned the men that crept up behind Mikan.

"It's too easy, so the disk must be located deeper in this place," Mikan explained as she grabbed Natsume's hand and pulled him up into the roof as they looked down at the confused men. The roof is like this ledge thing where people are higher up and can look down at other people, but it's in the same room.

"…" Natsume grunted as he heard the men shout out.

"It's right there," Mikan pointed to this glass case that held a shimmering golden disk as Natsume prepared to jump down.

"Hold up, Black Cat," Mikan grabbed his arm and tolled him back up.

"What is it now?!" Natsume gritted his teeth. He was getting tired of Ice Princess outsmarting and outmaneuvering him. He fell for the decoy and he was the reason why the AAO knew they were there. He was getting sloppy.

"They'll see you, let me do it," Mikan said in a determined voice.

"Yeah… They definitely won't see you in all your blue and jewelry," Natsume said sarcastically.

Mikan chose to ignore that comment as she jumped down the roof and landed on the floor without a sound and as graceful as a swan. She quietly and stealthy worked her behind the scenes action as she stole the disk and made her way back up into the roof.

"See, no one saw me," Mikan proclaimed proudly as Natsume rolled his eyes.

"Let's go," Natsume grumbled as he got angry that he was out-done by a girl. A girl that barely was heard of until now… Oh how wrong he was on her being unknown.

"Hold on…" a male voice called out as a shadow leaped out in front of them.

"And who are you?" asked a very disgusted Natsume.

"So the infamous Black Cat forgot all about little old me, Reo," the male with purple hypnotic eyes as Mikan cringed when she heard his name.

"Reo," Mikan and Natsume spat out as the hot tempered boy threw a fireball at the purple eyed freak.

The man jumped at the right moment, but was too late since Ice Princess threw ice daggers at the man and formed a cage of ice around him.

"Curse you Ice Princess, Black Cat!!" he shouted as he angrily banged on the ice barrier.

Ice Princess turned around and blew him a mock kiss as she said, "Later asshole."

The girl decked out in all baby blue tugged Natsume up into a tree and they silently worked their way back to Alice Academy.

"Back so soon," Persona stated as Mikan tossed him the disk. He was speechless on how quick he's little sister is when on missions.

"I'm going to go sleep," Mikan yawned as she bid the boys good-bye and took her leave.

"Interesting girl, huh Natsume?" Persona smirked at one of his best pupils.

"Tch. Why should I care about her?" Natsume asked with an air of iciness surrounding his tone of voice.

"She helped you a lot, Black Cat," Persona spoke in an eerie tone as he vanished into thin air once again.

'What the hell?! Why should I care bout that girl?!' Natsume thought to himself as he heard his name being called out.

"Natsume!!" a frantic high pitched voice called out as a slim body was jumping up and down for dear life. Her raven black hair was bouncing up and her crimson eyes cast Natsume a worried look.

"Aoi, what are you doing at this time of night?" Natsume sighed as he walked over to his sister that finally came back 3 years ago.

She placed her thin arms at her hips as she glared at Natsume with the Hyuuga crimson red eyes. She was quite scary when she wanted to be.

"What?" he asked annoyed.

"You went on a mission and didn't tell me!" the girl huffed.

"Are you my mother or something?" Natsume said in a teasing way as he fluffed his little sister's hair in affection.

"No, I'm the sister that hasn't seen you in over 5 years and I want to make sure I'm not going to lose you again!" Aoi Hyuuga said with a fire of determination in her set of beautiful eyes.

xXx

"How was the mission?" Hotaru and Masao asked at the same time. They were perched on Mikan's bed and sipping lukewarm herbal tea.

"Whoa! How'd you two both get into my room?!" asked a tired brunette who is currently shocked. Her hair fell limp against her back as she peeled off her eye mask.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

Mikan got hit by the baka gun three times as Masao sweat dropped.

"Dummy, you gave both of us your keys to your room and why didn't you wake me up when you left?!," Hotaru stated coldly.

"Still… You don't need to surprise me like that and I didn't want to interrupt your sleeping," Mikan sighed as Masao handed her a cup of warm hot chocolate.

"But you let Masao stay awake? It's 2:00 a.m. … 5 hours till we go to school," Hotaru stated as she found her best friend fast asleep.

Hotaru and Masao smiled to each other as Masao saw lights flashing.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Masao asked Hotaru angrily.

"For your fan club, I'm going to get a lot of yen for that picture!" Hotaru said gleefully as she put her camera away.

Masao rolled his chocolate brown eyes as both he and Hotaru lifted the sleeping brunette gently to make sure when Anna and Nonoko woke up, they wouldn't find anything suspicious.
