Seventh Chapter now! They're still in the hospital and still no fighting!
Chapter 7: The Meeting part two, The Problem
(Five days before the treatment is over. Somewhere places in the park; Mikan and Tsubasa are carrying some books. And they're seeing the figure that sitting on the bench, a spiky silver-blue haired boy and emerald eyes is none other Shiro. He is reading a letter that he's holding it. Those two were decided to greet him.)
"Shiro-san, good morning." Greeted the brunette girl.
The silver-blue haired boy stops his reading and sees the girl. "Oh. Hello there, Mikan. Morning, Andou-san." Shiro replied "hey, aren't you two supposed at the school?" asked the spiky boy.
"This is Sunday, silly." Tsubasa answered
"Oh, yeah? Wow, that was fast!" said Shiro.
She chuckled "How's your injured?" Mikan asked.
"Nothing's serious, I'm fine now. Even the doctor said that I should go out from the hospital to have a fresh air and a little exercise." Shiro answered.
"I see. Glad to hear it." Said the smiling brunette girl.
Then the brunette girl is looking what he is reading. "What are you reading?" asked Mikan.
"A letter." Answered Shiro.
"From who?" asked Tsubasa.
"Just from my old friend in America." the silver-blue haired boy answered.
"Wow, that's great! You're actually can make a friend!" said Mikan happily.
"Hey, is that a compliment or what?" Shiro glared to her. After that he's looking at the books that they're carrying.
"What's all of the books?" asked Shiro.
"Oh, I carried this from the library. I need this to study for the test tomorrow. And I passed to Tsubasa-sempai and he's helping me to carry the half one. But it looks like that I carrying too much." Said Mikan.
"Not to mention it, it is." Shiro's sweat dropped after saw that they're bringing a very thick book.
"So, what subject for the test?"
"Um…Mathematics. That's my very worst subject. It's really hard." Said Mikan.
"Mathematics, huh?" he's closed his eyes and… "Say, can I be your teacher for a while?" Shiro asked.
"But, how about your…" before she could finished her sentences…
"You can't study if you only read a book, especially for those thick books like that for tomorrow. It's just only making your head dizzy and the worst is the thing that you've already studied will gone," He's pulled his arm to the air. "Anyway, I've never go outside, so I need my brain to have a little work. It's for my exercise either just the doctor said." Shiro's cut her line.
"Oh yeah, I remember. I heard from Haruki that he's one of the top and smartest students in America." Thought Tsubasa.
"Okay then, I'm ready!" said the happy brunette girl.
After that, Mikan and Tsubasa are sitting besides Shiro and start the lesson. Three hours later…
"You're only need to study this and this, okay? This will be much easier for you." Said Shiro.
"All right." Said the brunette girl.
"See, it wasn't hard at all, huh?" asked the spiky haired boy.
"Yeah! Thanks a lot, Shiro-san!" said the happy brunette girl
"Wow, Shiro! I never thought that you can able to teach somebody in such age. Even I can't handle it." Said Tsubasa
"Tsubasa-sempai!" Mikan complained.
"Actually, I think it's very tough. But, if we're already getting used to it, it'll be fine!" Said Shiro, smiling.
"…you're a very strong kid." the shadow manipulation young man said calmly. Then he noticed Shiro's black gloves that he's wearing. When he's about to ask…
"So, how are Ayuri and Haruki? I heard that they're already gone to the class on Friday." Shiro asked.
"Oh right. Well, it's as usual. Nothing's change." Answered Tsubasa
"Me too except Sumire, she's angry to her just because she's sitting besides Natsume-kun." Mikan complained.
"Sumire? You mean Shoda, a girl who had the alice to enhance her smelling and hearing sense until the capabilities of a dog or cat?" asked Shiro.
Mikan nodded "Yeah, she's even made Natsume and Ruka fans club."
Shiro sweat dropped "Looks like for me that she's really admired to Hyuuga."
Mikan and Tsubasa were nodded.
"Okay, change the subject. What do you think about them?"
"Well, Haruki is very kind and generous! And handsome too!" said Mikan
"Yeah, even though he's always careless but he's tough, you know what I mean." Said Tsubasa.
"What about Ayuri?" asked Shiro again
"She's very cold and creepy but…she's kinda lonely. And I know, Ayuri-chan is very cool and great just like you told me!" said Mikan
Shiro sighed "…You know, you didn't change at all. You're just same like the old Mikan that I know." Said Shiro
"You too. You're still Shiro that I know! Even though that you're much taller than the first time I met you. Your height is same size like me that time." Said Mikan
"Yeah. And thanks to you, I must drink lot milks back then…And because of that, I really like milk now." Shiro sweat dropped, remembering the past. "But…I must to thank you and…I'm glad that I can meet you again in here." He smiled.
Mikan's face turn to red (blushing) "Yeah, me too!" she smiled too.
He smirked "Come here, you…" he's using slipper hold (playfully) and messing her hair. He's laughing.
"Hahaha…stop it, Shiro-san…" she's laughing either.
Tsubasa couldn't help it but laugh. And they're laughing together. This is really unforgettable moment to them. But...they don't know, someone's watching them from the tree. Raven haired, ruby eyes, none other, Natsume Hyuuga. And yup, he's in the jealous mode.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Central Park. Ayuri is walking to buy something from the shop. After that, she's sitting on some café. She's then put out a box to the table. That box it's very old covered; just like ancient. Looking at that makes her remembering something.
(Flash back. The scene shows Haruki, Ayuri and Shiro in his room. They had a serious meeting.)
"It's about the attack that happened 1 week ago, right?" said Shiro with serious toned.
Haruki nodded. "That's right."
"I can't believe they're managing to notice our place. They're really wanna to kill us that badly? What's with them?" asked Shiro.
"I don't know. But…I think they were here not only to chase us." Haruki's answered.
"What do you mean?" asked Shiro again.
"Well, you remember that fought before, right?" asked Haruki
"Yeah, how could I possibly forget about that? (Silent for a while and realized something)… Don't tell me, it's about the mist? So, you mean…
The dark green young boy nodded." It wasn't being caused by Hyuuga's alice spell. It's actually from them." He's answered.
"…Not to mention it, I guess it's totally weird that mist wasn't gone at all. First, the one that showed up is Akutsuru Takamura; the Thorn Devil. He possessed an alice that can change the earth into spikes then the second is… "
"Ken Naberu; the Needle Ninja. He has an alice that can control the mist and using needles to attack the people." Haruki continued as he's cut Shiro's talked.
"Neddles? What do you mean?" Shiro asked
"What I mean is, he can paralyze or even stop any movement whenever we're get hit by his needles." Explained Haruki.
"Oh, so that's why. But what could possibly they're looking for? What are they wanted?" Said Shiro
The dark green young man turned down." Sorry…"
Shiro looked at him. "Why you apologize? It's not your fault at all."
"…Well… because of us you're always have troubles. Maybe if we're still stayed to there..."
Shiro's stopped his talk. "I already told you before. We're living in this world just once. So, you should pick your own destiny. No one can control you after all. You can live whenever you want, just follow your heart." said the cheerful Shiro.
"Shiro…" he's smile but acted cool. "Thanks."
"No problem…And…could you please to...NOT EATING IN A SUCH SITUATION, AYURI! WE HAVE A SERIOUS MEETING, YOU KNOW!" said Shiro loudly after saw she's eating his food!
"ESPECIALLY FOR EATING MY FOOD!" pointing his finger to "her" food.
"Hm? What did you just say?" said Ayuri, still eating.
"Grrr…Give it to me!" said Shiro
"All right." said her as she's give "her" food to him but… it's already empty. He's started to angry.
"AYURI!" shouted Shiro. Then they're fighting each other.
A young man only can sighed at the scene. But, he's reminded something and searches something from his pocket. He's found something.
"Oh, yeah. Here!" said Haruki, throwing a box to Shiro and Ayuri. And they're caught it.
"What's this?" asked Shiro.
"Why don't you open it?" said Haruki happily
When he opened it, he's surprised.
"Hey, this is…"
"Yup, your dagger! It's from him. I received this from about 4 days ago." Said the dark-green haired young man.
"I see. Hm…I wonder. What kind of the dagger that he made this time?" said the silver-blue haired boy as he's examined his dagger.
"It's been upgraded and he said that dagger has its own power."
"So, what kind?" asked Shiro
"Well, I'm still not testing it. But, he said this dagger is very special. Only you can control it." Haruki said.
"Oh…and there's another." He continued, giving some letter to Shiro.
"What's this?" asked the silver-blue haired boy.
"It's a letter from him. It explained all about the things that we need now." Answered Haruki.
Silent for moment.
"Haruki, Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah?"
"Did you already erase all of the memories about the fought before?" asked Shiro.
Haruki nodded "Yeah, they're completely forgotten about that. Even the duel that Natsume Hyuuga was made it, everything is gone. But I guess we're better not to let our guard off. There are some people that still remaining that memory. Maybe I should…"
"… It's more than enough," he's cut Haruki's line.
"…even though that we're erased their mind, I have a feeling that they'll keep searching it, so… it's okay." Shiro relieved.
Haruki sighed "…All right."
Ayuri's looking at the box that she received.
(End of Flashback)
Ayuri's still staring at that box. But its stop because there's a shadow appeared in front of her. And she's seeing the figure that standing on her. That figures its pale skinned, black haired, wearing a dark-red long coat and a white mask.
"Ayuri Hikarichi, I presume." Said that figure.
(In the Prison Chamber, the lowest floor in the Alice Headquarters. Akutsuru Takamura and Ken Naberu are been jailed. Of course the prisons are sealed so they can't use their alice. A group of Alice security officers were standing guard.)
"That girl…I saw her before. But where?" Takamura asked to himself.
"Something's in your mind?" asked the Needle Ninja.
"Uh…nothing." He's checking the outside prison, so many Alice security officers are guards their place. "Huh, what a useless defensive! I can kill them for a minute if this sealed room is gone!" Akutsuru Takamura smirked.
"…Be patient, my friend. You'll get that after they're here to releasing us." Ken Naberu said.
"So when?" asked the tuxedo man.
"…very soon." he smiled evilly.
Not far from the Alice Headquarters, there are 3 persons hiding in the tree, looking at that place.
"So, this is the Academy that their talking about huh? It looks nice for me. But it is shame that they're our enemy." the young woman said.
"Yeah, it's true. And more, they're just weakling alice. I wonder why they're not giving up." The young man said.
"Never let your guard down. Besides, tonight…this academy will be turn into a nightmare." the other man said.
Ravelt: It's finished…Nguaah…Achoo!
Shiro: You're sick, Ravelt. You've better get a medicine and sleep now. You can continue it after you're getting better.
Haruki: Yeah, without you the story will never continue. Better rest your strength.
Ayuri: I hope you're feeling okay.
Ravelt: Thanks guys. Anyway, the next chapter will be full of the fights. So…never mind, please review.
Shiro: See you in the next chapter and sorry for the late updated! She's in a bad condition. Hope you understand it!
