Torn Between Love And Duty

Chapter 7: The Illness

Natsume's POV

She fell asleep on my lap as i was gently stroking her hair.

Sighing, I reached for my pocket and pulled out a shiny chain. A silver chain with a small ring at the end. The word "Forever" is engraved on the silver ring. I got this necklace at a small stall at the festival. I smirked at myself. The man said this thing will grant a wish if the wearer is wearing it. I have no idea why i bought this necklace. It's way unsuitable for me.

But for some reason, i'm attracted to it.

Sticking it back into my pocket, I look at her face again. I smirked a little. She looks so peaceful when she's asleep. She didn't even utter a sound.

I wiped away the dry tears on her face with my hand. Unwilling to move away from her face, I rested my hand on her pale face.

Suddenly, her lips gently kissed my hand. I pulled back my hand as i blushed. She went back into a slumber once again.

I stared at her. Not believing what happened just now. The gentle touch of her lips had sent nerves to all over my body. Having her by my side, i felt so easy, comfort and most of all... warmth...

Suddenly, I heard someone from behind. Swiftly and gently, i layed her down on the grass as i stood up and turned around to face...

...Persona...

"What the hell do you want?" I gave him one of my famous glares.

He chucked as he continued, "Dear Natsume, how are you doing these days? It's been a while since our union, isn't it?"

"What-the-hell-do-you-want?" I gritted my teeth while forcing out my words.

Ignoring me, he continued, "I see that you have made a new little friend here. Amazing job. You'll get a big reward from the AAO."

He walked towards Mikan.

"Stay the hell away from her!!" I shouted.

No reaction.

I ran towards him, amd twisted his hand. I could have swear that move can break one's bone in a matter of seconds.

He pulled my shirt and threw me away furiously. My back make a painful contact with a blunt odject.

Damn, that hurts...

"I see that you have developed feelings." He gave me that annoying smirk. "We might have to go through training again after you've completed this mission."

He walked away and thank god he did that or else this place might have become ashes already.

Standing up, i wiped away the blood from the edge of my lips. I walked towards her and lifted her up bridal style and headed to the palace.

Persona... maybe i HAVE developed feelings...

I stared at her once more.

Feelings... a human's gift... as well as a curse...

------------------------------------------------

Mikan's POV

I walked along the empty hall. Sighing, I stared at the peaceful blue sky. The birds are flying freely. How lucky they are.

Sighing once again, I couldn't find Natsume anywhere. Ever since that incident at the festival, he has been avoiding me lately. I had never seen him in his usual hang out place. And even if i bumped into him, he just turned around and left or just making up excuses.

I sigh again.

Maybe he's avoiding me because he found out about my alice. About my dangerous alice...

Sighing... again...

I pulled out a necklace from my pocket. A silver chain with a small ring in it. The word "smile" is engraved on the small ring. I bought this in a small stall at the festival. The nice man said any wish will be fulfiled as long as the wearer wears it all the time. And the wish must be engraved on the ring. I was intended on buying this for Natsume. I wish to see him smile, just once, not that annoying smirk, nor that unpleasent groan, just a pure smile.

But he hasn't been seen anywhere.

Sighing, for the first million of times, I began my search for him again.

Suddenly...

I stood still.

My heart was pounding really hard against my chest.

My whole body was shaking. The surroundings is getting blurry.

My hand was leaning against the wall to regain balance while the other one is clenching against my chest really hard.

God... My illness is getting worse these days.

My head was spinning. My eyes are getting sleepy.

Resting my eyes, i sat on the floor. Hoping that the nueseaness will go away.

Suddenly, a familiar voice called me.

"What the hell, what happened?!"

I turned around, i gave him a sheepish smile. "N-Nothing at all. I didn't get any rest yesterday... so i'm very sleepy..."

I tried my best to make up a lie while having my head bowed down, hoping that he won't figure out this illness.

"Damn, you can't fool me."

No kidding, he is smart.

"How come you look so pale. You are sweating furiously, you know!!"

A lie... think of a lie...

"T-this is just a little fever i caught yesterday..." I laughed uneasily. "I left the window open yesterday..."

He stared at me for a while.

Please don't let him know, please don't let him know...

"Stupid, stop chit-chatting and lets get you back into your room or else this fever will get worse."

I let out a silent sigh of relieve.

He lifted me up and gave me a piggy back ride. I rested my face on his back and was glad for once, he didn't find out about this illness...
