It's Earth hour today in the Philippines! It's also the first day of my summer vacation! I'm so happy *tears of joy* Anyways thanks to all the reviewers who supported me! Now, enough with the talking, let's start!
Princess of Tennis Chapter 7: Doubts
Our beautiful brunette was walking, headed towards the Dangerous Ability room with her big brother, Syusuke Fuji, Seigaku's captain, Kunimitsu Tezuka and her frenemy, Ryoma Echizen. They shivered, thinking about all the possibilities that would happen if they do something common that Natsume does.
"Are you sure? I mean we could always change our minds," Mikan asked, staring at the door right in front of her. She shivered again, just staring at the door made her have goose bumps.
"Sorry but yes, I'm sure about this. In any case, if we ditch this class something bad might happen to us. Oh and did I mention that the Dangerous Ability class teacher, which is also our teacher from now on, has the alice of death?" Fuji replied immediately sighing. They have no other choice and to mention that they couldn't believe that the MSP lied to them.
"They lied to us anyways, that so called 'MSP' said that he will have Persona escort us to this room which is currently a lie," Ryoma pointed at the closed wooden door in front of them. A dark aura was surrounding it, making it obvious that it's dangerous.
"I agree with Ryoma-kun…" Mikan shrugged, "And I can always activate my nullification alice," She continued glancing at her wrist watch. Her eyes widened at the sight of the time.
"She's right Fuji," Tezuka assured, his eyes darting to Fuji who just sighed again.
"Are you sure Mikan-chan?" He asked for the last time.
"Yep! I've already mastered it anyways. I better activate it now though, would everyone please get behind me?" Mikan instructed as they all did what they was told to do. Fuji, Tezuka and Ryoma stared in confusion. Mikan noticed this then held her wrist watch up signaling that they were late. Which is a bad, no scratch that, ultimately bad sign. They all shivered again in fear. Mikan positioned herself to open the door.
Slowly opening it, they could see Persona's face. He was standing near the board, fuming with anger. Mikan sighed in relief but when she saw Persona stretched out his hand, Mikan crossed her arms on her chest sensing something dangerous coming out from it.
"Are you trying to fool me with that?" Mikan said, all heads turned on her. She smirked then slapped his hand away, putting her nullification alice on full power and expanded it to her fellow brother and friends behind her. No one, I mean nobody dares to say that with a tone like that to Persona. Persona also smirked, running towards her at full speed. Her brother and a few of her friends behind her back, she didn't dare to move one inch. Still, she wasn't that afraid to face Persona because she was already trained.
The whole class stared including Natsume. They all waited for something to happen and alas something did happen.
Mikan waited until persona was at least 3 meters near her. When she saw he was at the right distance, Mikan pulled a knife out under her skirt then ran towards him at full speed. She ran until she was half-a-meter away from him then immediately stepped on the left, allowing her to slice Persona on his right arm.
"Always ready huh?" Persona exclaimed, holding the bleeding part of his right arm.
"Of course," Mikan walked to her brother then stood beside him.
"I didn't want an answer from that! Just introduce yourselves already and sit wherever you want," Persona stood, his patience decreasing.
"Okay, okay!" Mikan stood in the front center of the room smiling.
"Mikan Fuji, 13 years old and S.E.C alice!" She said in a sing-song voice. She looked for a random vacant chair then spotted four in the back. She smiled then skipped happily towards it but her smile faded when someone tried to trip her.
'Just because I'm all cheery and look like I'm all clumsy, don't take me like I can't sense one of your dirty tricks,' She thought using her Telekinesis alice to levitate herself in the air. She turned her head to see who was the one who planned it then she floated to the person who she saw did it then held her head close to his ear making the boy blush in embarrassment.
"I am not who you think I am," She whispered as she landed on the cold, hard floor then headed to the vacant seat.
Meanwhile, Fuji, Tezuka and Ryoma were done in introducing themselves. It was a shame that the girls didn't get to squeal. But what was really weird is that they were in the room not in the field killing each other.
"Oi, Persona! Why are we in the room?" Some student asked.
"It's none of your business," Persona replied coldly. Mikan shivered at this thought she didn't know why. She glanced at him, trying to read his mind and finally succeeded after a few minutes. Still, since the beginning, silence was present in the room.
"It's the ESP isn't it? I heard that he has the most power here at the academy," Mikan suddenly interrupted the silence. Persona stared at her coldly then walked towards her smirking. He grabbed the collar of her uniform then lifted her up. Fuji reacted of course, his were shown as it widened up a bit, panicked and concerned for imouto. Mikan just stared, her eyes blank.
"Have you ever heard of privacy, you damn girl?" Persona raised his other vacant hand then something wavy and black can be seen. Fuji looked at his sister then noticed her eyes blank.
'I guess this isn't my business anymore huh?' He thought as he sat back and relaxed.
"Aren't you going to help her?" Ryoma asked suspicious of her. He stared at Natsume who was sleeping again.
'Bored of the show eh?' Ryoma thought, relaxing himself, trying not to care about the girl in front of him who was being tortured to death.
"She's going to be alright. Just wait and see," Fuji replied back as he saw Persona raise his hand more and more close than ever.
"Any last words before you die?" Persona smirked at this. He tightened his grip on her shirt.
"Then die," He touched Mikan's cheek, dropped her and watched her eyes widened. Waiting for his alice to take effect, he heard the door slam open.
"Eh?!! What are you doing?!" Someone with the same voice as Mikan's shouted. Persona heard someone's footsteps. Persona looked down to check if Mikan was dead and she was. Fuji, Ryoma and Tezuka smiled in the inside when they saw the person.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Someone tapped Persona from behind. Persona turned to kill who ever it was interrupting the show but failed because of the person's fast reflexes. His eyes widened when he saw the face.
"Hey! I asked you! Answer me!" Mikan commanded as she waved her hand in front of Persona's staring face.
"H-how?" For the first time, Persona stuttered.
"What do you mean how?" She tapped her fingers on her table while staring at the mess Persona created.
"You were…" Persona thought for a while then returned back to his usual cold face. "Dead," He continued after that.
"No I wasn't, that was a clone you dummy! And now look! You wasted my effort at ditching your class!" Mikan exclaimed shaking her head in disappointment. Persona glanced at her, now fuming with anger.
"Ditching my class? Ha! Nobody tries to do that if it's me you're talking about!" He shouted now serious in fighting as he once again ran towards Mikan. Mikan, being the one she is, activated her nullification alice to full power then created a ball of Ice. She threw it at Persona before he could even use his alice on her. Mikan smirked as he returned the ball of ice without any damage, she positioned herself as the whole class including Tezuka, Fuji, Ryoma and Natsume, who just woke up, moved aside to let them fight indoors.
Concentrating on the fight, Mikan waited until the ball was at least a meter away from her then created a racket made out of ice. The other's eyes widened as she touched the floor that quickly became a floor of crystal ice but a line was visible in the middle of the room, dividing the room into separate courts.
'What is she trying to do with that racket?' Persona thought. Unknown to him, Mikan was reading his mind then answered fully,
"What do you expect? Tennis of course!" Using the reverse side of the racket, Mikan used the slide of the oncoming ball over the gut and forcing a super spin to the ball. Then by instantaneously reversing her wrist and using the other side of the racket, she doubles the spin yet again. Mikan created an extreme under spin, forcing the ball of ice being returned back to her being a topspin making the ball sink before it passed the line. Mikan smirked when she saw Persona's face beneath his mask using her X-Ray alice. After a few seconds of silence, Persona's face became a smirk also. He went over to Mikan then watched her melt the floor then used her Manipulation alice to collect the puddles of water inside the room then threw it out the window. When she was done, she brushed the dirt out of her clothes then faced Persona.
"What now? Can't admit defeat after I saw that face of yours?" Persona was even angrier than before, now he was sure he could kill someone even if there is a consequence behind it. But he resisted the urge to do that since he now knows a fact.
"Now I can see why the ESP wants you that much. Heh," He said. Mikan raised her brows in confusion, waiting for Persona to continue what he was saying but unluckily, he disappeared out of thin air. She sighed then ran to her big brother.
"Are you alright?" Fuji, Tezuka and Ryoma asked at the same time. They stared at each other then returned their eyes to Mikan who was giggling. They stared at her laughing face as her angelic voice echoed in the classroom.
"Thanks for worrying, but I'm fine, really! And when did the Ice Prince say 'Are you alright?' to anyone?" Mikan teased as she laughed more loudly while childishly poking Ryoma's arm making him blush lightly at Mikan's closeness. Natsume being the jealous type and a dense person he is, tried to burn Mikan's hair.
"Hey! I can sense your alice you know? I have my nullification on full power so don't bother to play tricks on me!" Mikan pointed out at she stomped over to a certain someone, "Natsume!" She continued as she punched him in the arm playfully again.
"So Persona is gone, then that does mean we're already dismissed from this class?" Some Elementary school student said. Mikan stopped punching Natsume as she glanced at the little boy then smiled sweetly. The boy who was expressionless just stared at Mikan, waiting for an answer.
"Oh right, don't worry everybody is dismissed now! I'll handle things later with Persona if there are some consequences, so please consider this as an early dismissal," Mikan said as she smiled once more at the boy who was now tugging Natsume's shirt, not caring about Mikan had just said.
"Eh??!! You aren't listening?" She fell down, anime style as she saw Natsume pat the grade schooler on the head.
"Natsume-nii, who is this old hag?" The boy pointed at Mikan who just paled up. Fuji and the others sweat dropped then Fuji began covering his ears.
"Eh? Fuji-senpai?" Ryoma suddenly saw what Fuji did, curious of why he did that.
"3" Fuji counted
"2"
"1"
"OLD HAG?!!" Mikan exploded, glaring daggers at the boy in front of her.
"Just who're you calling an old hag you –!!" Running out of things to say, Mikan sighed then glared at Natsume.
"Just who is this kid? Your brother?" Mikan asked him with a calm face. She was having mood swings lately though but before she could have a reply, Mikan saw that they were already walking away.
"JERKS!!" She shouted in the hallway clearly not making them stop. She whispered some inappropriate things then turned on her brother. Her anger became a smile as she faced his Onii-chan.
"Ne, ne, want to go to Central Town? We can bring Kikumaru-senpai and the others too if you want! Of course training after we head to Central town. Right buchou?" Mikan piped out. But sadly, only Fuji was the one being able to survive her scream. So in order to revive the two Seigaku regulars…
"Ne, Onii-chan can I?" Mikan offered as Fuji nodded then chuckled a bit. Mikan pulled her sleeves up then…
WHACK!
She whacked Tezuka and Ryoma In the head to regain consciousness and to their surprise, they did. Mikan stretched then pulled fixed the sleeves of her uniform then tugged her brothers.
"Itai!" The two boys said as Mikan hid behind her brother. Fuji just chuckled again to see Ryoma and Tezuka angry.
"What was that for?" They both said again.
"It's appropriate sorry. You didn't survive from Mikan-chan's scream so Mikan-chan had to whack you up a bit." Fuji explained why as the two rubbed their heads in pain.
"Gomen buchou, Ryoma-kun!" Mikan bowed her head hoping that they would forgive her. Fuji smiled at his sister and gave Tezuka and Ryoma a-don't-you-dare-decline-her-apology-or-face-me glare.
Tezuka just nodded, Fuji's glare not affecting him at all. But for Ryoma, well he shivered then accepted the apology.
"Eh… It's okay I guess, no worries Mikan!" He said as he sighed in relief. Mikan looked up then suddenly hugged Ryoma making him blush.
"Yay! Arigatou, Ryoma-kun!" She said as she once again smirked then kissed his cheeks making him blush again. Mikan laughed when she saw him blush deep red.
"Oh man! You should've seen your face!" She said between laughs.
"Urusai!" He commanded as Mikan continued to laugh. Needless to say, Fuji was also laughing a bit but for Tezuka well he just smiled.
"No way!" Mikan continued to laugh. She now had tears in her eyes because of the laughter.
"Well, then should I say, 'Shut up, Polka!' to you?" And she stopped anger boiling inside her.
"Ryoma!" She exclaimed raising up her fists.
"Hey, it was Hyuuga who started that nickname not me!" He exclaimed back at him as she stopped abruptly then sighed. She smiled after that took each of their hands.
"Okay! Enough with that! Let's go get the others and go to Central Town!" She said as she dragged Fuji, Tezuka and Ryoma to find the others.
"Wait! We can walk you know!" They all pointed as they tried to get out of her grip.
"Nonsense! You guys are slow!" Mikan laughed then dragged them a bit faster than before.
