WOW! I didn't expect this story to be sooo popular! YAY! *High fives current reader* At the moment I have 1,111 hits! I am not making that up!
I wanna say a BIIIIG thx to all of your reviews and for just reading this and (Hopefully) loving it. Because I was bored after getting out of the pool, and happy with how well this story is going, I wrote this straight away! Oh and Just as promised…THERE WILL BE BISHI FIGHTS! Although I don't like the idea of Kai being too bishi…ENJOY!
"Ne, Mikan? Shouldn't you be helping Natsume with the ovens? And why aren't you in the Dangerous Abilities?" Kai asked, earning a frown from Mikan.
"Don't you have the Fire Alice? That's how you burnt Persona, right?" Kai explained.
Mikan looked at him sternly for a second then burst out laughing, earning a few glares from people. They were probably thinking: 'Quit flirting love-birds and do you work!', or something like that.
"I don't have the Fire Alice, stupid! Didn't you see the Alice Stone I pulled out of Natsume before that happened? But it would be cool to have it. Then maybe I could understand Na-" Mikan froze mid-sentence then looked down. She shook her head violently, it was so hard not to think of Natsume but she couldn't help it. She loved him. Even though she seemed to hate him at this point in time, she was just lying to herself. Kai smirked internally but then felt sad. Why was he joyous in Mikan's anger towards Natsume? Was he just overly jealous or…?
"Oi!" The voice broke his thoughts and he looked to his right side. Natsume. "Quit flirting and get back to work! We haven't got all day!" He ordered before turning around and walking. He stopped a meter away. "And try not to poison anything while your at it!" He hissed. An anger vein appeared on his jaw and he jumped up.
"What the fuck did you just say!" He exclaimed loudly. Natsume stopped again and smiled briefly.
"Kora, kora! Don't get worked up. He's just a useless bag of charcoal! I bet his heart is black too!" Mikan coaxed making the last two lines loud enough for Natsume to hear. Natsume felt hurt by this and the room heated up slightly. He spun around sharply and pulled Kai back by his collar. He didn't say anything; he just glared at him with fire burning in his crimson eyes. Finally he opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Kai's whispering.
"You already know, don't you? That I'm the one who gave her the photos." He hissed almost silently. Natsume's eyes widened and he raised his fist the air becoming thicker with heat.
"You fucking bitch!" He yelled as the fist came down on Kai's jaw. Natsume dropped Kai to the ground and kicked him in the stomach repeatedly. "Burn in hell! You monster! What the fuck are you thinking? Playing people's emotions! You should just die and perish in hell!" Natsume screamed at him, wanting to burn his face off, but unable to. He continually kicked Kai in the stomach harshly before stepping on his head and kicking into his ribs. Mikan was wide-eyed with tears streaming down her face. She was scared at how Natsume was behaving, first the girl and then this. What the hell was wrong with him? Kai seized Natsume with a shaky arm and pulled him to the ground. Kai stood up, wincing at the horrible pain in his rib cage, head and stomach.
"What the hell are you thinking? Suddenly beating someone up without reason." He said as he walked back to Mikan. Natsume's body shook in rage and he struggled to stand due to this. The tree suddenly set on fire and came toppling down, smashing a few support beams on the way. People rushed out in a mad hurry but Mikan got lost in the crowd and soon had no idea where she was. The tree came crashing down, Mikan ran out of it's way, her alice stones escaping her pouch.
'S-Someone…help me…' She whimpered, trapped in between the wall and the charcoaled tree branches and trunk.
"K-Kai! Where are you? Kai!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
-,-,-
Kai stood over Natsume who had his leg trapped beneath a burning support beam. Kai had a twisted smile of pleasure on his face as he watched Natsume scream in pain and for help. Yes, he was a Sadist.
"You Bastard! What the fuck are you trying to do?" Natsume yelled at him.
"I'm doing what's right for Mikan! You don't deserve her! Even if she seems happy she's sad! And if you can't see that then you are the lowest thing on earth compared to her! You don't deserve her kindness!" Kai yelled.
"Kai! Help me! Please! Kai!" Mikan's shouts were heard. Kai grinned at Natsume and Natsume's crimson eyes just shook in overwhelming sadness.
"Here that? She's calling me! Not you! Me! She trusts me more than almost anything! Deal with it!" Kai sneered and he stormed off, bravely jumping through the flames.
"Shit…I'm gonna kill that stupid Mikiri!" Natsume cursed in between coughing. He had just used his Alice dramatically, sending him into an almost critical state, but the smoke made it worse. Soon his vision shook and his head fell, unconscious.

Mikan was shaking in fear constantly hearing a voice in her head.
'You're useless! You can't see that Natsume really loves you no matter what and you can't stand up to this situation! What kind of person are you? Your smart yet dumb and you only depend on others! Grow up already! You are not a kid anymore! Even when you started here you acted way too young! Your hopeless! A failure! Who are you?' The voice echoed.
"No1 Stop it! Shut up! That's not true! Please! Shut up!" Mikan yelled with her hands on her ears. Was she going crazy? That same question echoed in her head endlessly.
'Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?...' She shook her head and then was picked up, bridle-style of course, and carried out of the flames she was put down and looked at her saviour.

Persona walked through the door and slammed it shut behind him, making a B-Line for his phone. One message. He smiled as he turned and walked towards the door, but his way was suddenly blocked. The girl glared at him with stone cold brown eyes. She was dressed in a gothic Lolita dress that was lined with white. She was holding a Bunny plushie that was missing an ear and she was wearing a line of red makeup down from her left eye to her cheek.
"You promised he'd be done in a week! It's almost up! When the hell do I get to have some fun…" She said in a hard, icy voice. Persona smirked at how evil her eyes let on.
"Patience is a virtue. Besides, I don't know what you have against her, but it seems strong enough to bring her down mentally at the moment." Persona remarked, sliding the phone into a pocket of his black trench-coat.
"She hurt you! And her father betrayed you! Besides…she's messing with my man!" The girl explained harshly.
"Relax. At the moment she hasn't been eating or sleeping so it seems she'll become delusional and very ill pretty soon. Plus Mikiri's got Natsume stuck in his own flames. Hahaha! Too good, right?" Persona laughed in amusement. The girls eyes widened and she looked at Persona.
"Daddy please let me go already! Please!" She begged, almost a little too childishly.
"I'm not your father god-damn it! Now move aside! You are not ready to go outside on your own and you know it! Remember what happened last time?" He yelled, pushing the girl aside by the shoulder. He left the room. The girl put a hand to her right eye, her fingertips brushing a soft velvet feeling object.
"S-So what? From the moment I saw him I loved him and so I'm going to save him! With Sakura distracted by Kai there's no better time to do so." She mumbled away, lifting up her bunny plushie and looking it in the eyes. "You think I deserve it, right? After all she doesn't love him anymore." She asked it seemingly expecting an answer. She frowned at it then headed for the window. She jumped down, gracefully landing on her feet.

Mikan was put down on her feet and she looked up slightly (Cause he is taller) to see Kitsuneme. Mikan just stared at him and he smiled at her with his eyes closed, as per usual.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed happily he just smiled back.
"Anything for a friend right?" He replied and two people came over, bearing towels and bottles of water

Natsume was only just able to stay conscious, but he could not see a thing and it was hard for him to breathe. Suddenly something grabbed hold of him and the heat kept increasing then decreasing from time to time until his skin was met by the refreshingly cold air outside. He was put down on the ground and everyone was in shock at the foreign girl they saw standing behind him. She smiled devilishly and walked off. Natsume was left on the ground, his clothes partly ruined and his skin tainted with ash and burns here and there. Mikan looked over at the commotion to see Natsume lying on the ground coughing up blood with people coming to his aid. But the thing that caught her eye was not Natsume, or the crowd. It was a girl with Raven-Black hair down to her waist, wearing a gothic Lolita dress lined with white. The girl turned her head slightly as she felt eyes on the back of her head. When she saw Mikan staring at her she smirked. Mikan's eyes were wide and she couldn't believe it.
"That girl…She's…" Mikan mumbled and Kai looked at her from the corner of his eye worryingly.
I know, I know, Short chapter and a fangirl that likes Natsume, has a mysterious past and is linked to Persona, can it get anymore old?but trust me this girl plays a BIIIIIG part in the resolution and the fluff! Besides, who is she? ne? Theres gonna be more and more fluff, plus maybe one of those "Compromising positions/situations" we all love! Look out Natsume fan-girls! This rival's creepy, no.
