Natsume's P.O.V
Its hard to believe that it has been a full two years since she left. We have conquered 8 more academy in that year and 5 months. Somewhere, in the back of my mind, thoughts of her being dead float by. But I have to think positive, like she did. I don't think that she would go and die without seeing me one last time, no, she's not that kind of girl.
"Where we going to?" asked Nonoko nonchalantly.
"Im not quite sure," said Anna.
"Check your tickets, it should say where to," says Ruka.
"Hotaru! Im tired, let me ride on your duck scooter." whines Sumire.
BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA
"No, you might get your slut germs on it. And for your information, we are going to the London academy." informs Hotaru.
We all walk toward our gate, when we our stopped by a mob.
"Hey, Ace! Are the rumors true? Are you and Mika dating?" asks a reporter to a brown haired guy who is holding a sleeping girl in a black leather jacket with the hood up, so it covered her face.
"No." he says.
"Scarlett, are the rumors true about you and your manager Antonio true? Did he get you pregnant?" a female reporter asks.
"HELL NO. MY BODY IS TO BEAUTIFUL TO BE PREGNANT!" a red head yells.
"Hi everyone! You all look so nice today," a peppy blonde says.
"Kain! Kai! Is it true that you to are dating," asks a reporter. You could practically see the blood boiling as the two boys swiveled around. Kain goes up to the young female reporter and kisses her.
"That idoit cares more about food then relationships, and im sorry to inform you all, but I love women. There just so warm and smell so good," says Kain into the blushing reporters ear.
"I-I-I the-think he is t-t-telling the t-truth," says the reporter.
"OH. MY. GOD. YOU GUYS MADE ME DROP MY CALVONE. AND I WASN'T FINSIHED!" screams Kai as he flips out. The girl with red hair goes over to him and kicks him in the head, making him fly 20 feet and hit the wall unconscious.
"Letty (A/N that is Scarlett's nickname!), don't you think that was unnecessary, asks the only guy the reporter haven't bombarded with questions.
"No, Knight. It wasn't unnecessary. He was irritating me and, Mimi isn't here to keep him in line," she said. He nodded his head and they once again headed toward there gate.
"That was really odd," says Ruka to me.
"Yeah…they seem really popular," I say.
"I. Must. Find. Out. Who. They. Are. And. Make. Them. A. Fan club." says Sumire.
We all board out flight and we sit down. Im by the window, Ruka next to me and Hotaru next to him. Then Koko is across from us next to Anna and Nonoko. Then Sumire is in front of me, wildly typing away at her forest green laptop.
"Please prepare for your flight for Spain to London, England. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride." says the pilot.
I grab the magazine in the seat pocket in front of me, expecting it to be some boring golfing magazine. What I see shocks me. There I see a stunningly beautiful girl. She has long blonde hair, and beautiful hazel eyes and ruby red lips. She is next to all the people we saw in the airport. I would no that girl anywhere. That is the one I have been looking for, the only girl in my heart. That girl is the love of my life and the girl I will either beat senseless or kiss unconscious. My beloved girlfriend, Mikan Sakura Yukihara.
I stare at her, im not sure for how long. Then I snap out of my trance and hand the magazine to Hotaru wordlessly. She looks at it and her eyes grow big. She instructs everyone to look at the magazine and we all see Mikan.
"It says she is the most sought after model in all of Europe, Asia, and America. Her and her friends became models some time last year, when they where the cover for the perfume, DYING ROSE. It is rumored that her and one of her friends, Ace, are dating. He is obviously in love with her," Koko read, stopping when he heard my growl, "But she seems to either be oblivious to it, or she doesn't share his feelings, or both," he reads.
"Her stage name is Soulless, since she never smiles. She is said to be a complete man hater since she had her heart broken, and the only men she talks to are Jake, Ace, Knight, Kain, Kai, her brother Rei, and brother Youichi." continues Anna.
"She goes to school at The Academy of Alices, in…London, England! We finally found her!" Nonoko exclaims.
"Mi…" I say staring at the cover.
In a couple of hours, I will see her face. And I will kiss her silently begging lips.
Mikan's P.O.V
The principle sent me on a mission all by myself, while the rest of my friends where sent to Spain to do a fashion show. It was hard, and I know that to most people, they would be dead within the first ten minutes. I had been shot, stabbed, burned, and nearly captured. I was happy I had a healing Alice or I would have been dead. My injuries were still healing, and some of my wounds were still bleeding, but I knew that I would live. I teleported to the edge of the campus forest. I heard voices, and I knew that they were my friends voices, but I needed to rest.
I leaned against my a tree, not asleep, but not exactly awake either. The only reason I didn't zone out longer, was because I heard loud voices. I struggled to my feet, and staggered towards the sound. What I saw, was the single most surprising thing I had seen in a long time.
There was the only person I had ever loved, black haired and crimson eyed man. He was holding Ace up by the color, rage filling his eyes.
"Go burn in hell you bastard," Natsume spat.
"Mad because I took the girl you threw in the garbage," smirked Ace.
"What the hell are you talking about? She still is mine. She will ALWAYS be mine." says Natsume.
"That's not what I was told. She wont even talk about you. It pisses her off to much." Ace says.
"Shut up. You don't know anything. I love her." growls Natsume, fire surrounding them. Light was Ace's only weakness. He could manipulate shadows in every way, but even though light cast shadows, that was only at a certain angle. With fire all around them, Ace was completely defenseless. Yes, I was weak. Yes, I needed to sleep. But I knew that I didn't want my friends hurt…and somewhere deep inside me, I needed Natsume to look at me.
"Natsume, you need to calm down," I say softly, before my strength leaves me and I fall to the ground, unconscious.
Natsume's P.O.V
"Natsume, you need to calm down," said the voice of my angel as she stumbled forward. My flames instantly died down, but she was on the ground unconscious before I could reach her.
"Mikan!" I yell as I rush over to her, but Ace beats me there and scoops her up, holding her to his chest.
"Ah, your just tired, aren't you Mimi? You did a good job, so just sleep," he murmurs into her ear. I couldn't contain the growl when I heard that, and he turned and smirked at me before he carried her off. Her modeling friends and us, her REAL friends, followed that dumb, ass hole to a room.
The room was black and red and very nice. He laid her down on the bed and covered her up. Then, im sure just to piss me off, kissed her forehead. Koko, Ruka, Anna, Nonoko, Sumire, Hotaru and I all crowded around her bed.
For a while we just stared at her, waiting for her to most likely wake up.
"Leave her alone for awhile. She hasn't slept in a couple of days so she is utterly exhausted." says the girl, Scarlett.
I give her one last look before I get off the edge of the bed and walk out, my friends at my side. They lead us into a big living room, with three leather couches, two chairs, and quite a few beanbags. They flipped on a TV show for Jake to watch and seated themselves.
"My name is Scarlett. I am Mika's best friend. She is like a sister to me, and so naturally I want to protect her, and all I see in you guys is trouble. She doesn't need that an sure as hell doesn't deserve it. She has been through enough." she says.
"Im Hotaru. Im also her best friend and there is no need to protect her from the people who want to do the same thing." Hotaru says.
"You don't do anything to protect her, you ruined her." snarls Knight. "Names Knight by the way. Her brother," he says.
"Im Anna and this is Nonoko. Were twins and also friends of Mikan-Chan." says Anna. "We would do anything for Mikan-Chan." says Nonoko.
"Im Kai, the idoit who is staring at himself in the mirror is Kain, and the idoit who is watching cartoons is Jake. Were friends of Mika. You did more bad then good, if I may say so myself." says Kai.
"We didn't mean to! We just…assumed… and im Ruka," says Ruka.
"Well your assumptions ruined her. So suck on that," says Ace.
"Shut up, asshole. We made a mistake and we are trying to make up for it. So let us." says Natsume.
We argued. How we should have a chance and they were manipulating her and tying to take her away from us. We argued until we heard a faint yell. We all quieted, but we didn't hear it again. I knew something was wrong with her. Everyone sat there, listening. Then we heard whimpering, soft, faint, and full of pain. We all got up and went towards her room as fast as we could, but we didn't get there soon enough. We heard the most heart wrenching scream ever.
I was the first to get there. I threw the door open only to find twisted sheets, a blanket on the floor, and an empty bed. I looked around, but saw no Mikan. Then I heard the shower turn on and ran into the bathroom, with everyone behind me. The shower curtain was wide open, but there was no reason for it to be closed. Mikan sat on the floor of the bathtub, cold water pouring down on her, while she rocked back and forth, her knees curled to her chest and her arms wrapped around them.
Ace pushes past me and goes up to Mikan and kneels by the bath tub. He reaches out to touch her, but she flinches away from his touch.
"Mimi…" he says. She ignores him and continues rocking, her face hidden by her long wet hair. I can tell his is pissed, but he backs away. I step toward her and she immediately moves to the corner of the tub, trying to get as far away from me as she could. I reach over, my head getting cold and wet, but I turn the water Luke-warm anyways. Then I got into the tub and sat down next to her. I pulled her into my chest, and she struggled, but if she had really wanted me to leave her alone then she would have achieved that. She stopped struggling and leaned against my chest as I stroked my hand through her long beautiful hair.
"Everything is going to be just fine. Im here now and nothing can hurt you, okay baby?" I ask her softly. She nods her head and falls asleep.
Everyone is staring at me, but I don't care. My darling is in my arms, what more do I need. She is more important to me then oxygen. She is the very center of my universe. Everything I do is for her, or she is involved in it somehow. I made a mistake. And I will freeze hell over if it means I can be forgiven and she can be happy again. So she can smile and truly be happy. Because if she is happy, then the rest of the world is smiling with her.
"Goodnight Mikan," I say. Then I get up, walk over to the bed, and tuck her and myself in. She snuggles against me and breathes a sigh of contentment. Lets hope that I can ward off the nightmares that haunt her dreams.
Mikan's P.O.V
Im having a wonderful dream. I dreamed that I had a nightmare and Natsume is there to comfort me.
That is a dream come true for me.
I will enjoy his warmth, the sound of his heartbeat that perfectly matches mine, his smell. I will enjoy him.
Because I love him.
Thanks for reading.
