Hidden VIII
True enough, what the brothers thought were right. Everyone looked at Mikan in disgust, since Mikan had a young child carried on her hands while the child took her books and held it on for her. Sumire gave a haughty laugh. For her being a transfer student, it was bold of her to bring her child along with her. Only Yuri was not her daughter, but Mikan allowed her to call her that. Mikan wasn't quite sure how things turned out without having parents, but she did know what she had to suffer.
"Not so cool with that child of yours now huh, bitch?" Sumire gave a confident smirk, but it did not affect Mikan in any way. Mikan sighed, not wishing to fight against anyone, but in terms of her attitude, she's really trying to control her Alice. But it seems that it wasn't enough.
"Who did you do it with? Some guy with the same league as you, ugly?" Sumire continued with her taunting, making Mikan lose control of herself. Yuri came down from Mikan's hands.
"Oh no…. Mummy's angry…" She stepped away from her, just as she heard from her mother. Go hide yourself while I do something to this lady.
Mikan had a dark aura coming out of her, but it was not as dark as the first time she came here. But before she could do anything, a voice called her and she got a shock from the ear ring she got this morning.
"Stupid Persona. What's with the set of ear rings you gave me?!" Mikan glared at her brother.
"That's to control your Alice. You're a DA student after all." Persona smirked, leading Mikan to growl at him.
"What do you want now." It wasn't a question, more of a statement. He threw in the file to her, a sign where she had another mission.
"Finish it within your timing. I'm timing you for this." With that she jumped out of the window, ready for her next mission. A certain group was staring at the commotion, and only Youichi was unhappy about it. The crowd that was there started whispering to each other.
"Why are you making sis do all these missions?! She doesn't deserve to go for them!" Youichi slammed his hand on the table, Rei sighed. They were now at Rei's apartment where their parents built for one of them. There are three apartments for the siblings, so they have one apartment for each person. Yuri was put to bed at Mikan's apartment since she was obedient enough
"Then do you want her to suffer at that house even more? And she has to protect herself for the future…" Mikan came into the room, with a towel over her shoulders, indicating that she just finished her shower at her brother's room.
"What Rei-nii says is true. I can't lose to them anymore." She sat on one of the one seat sofas, composing herself.
"What happen today will be known to others. Furthermore, we cannot allow that boy or that boy's father to know anything from the past. What do you have to say about it?" She continued, while using the towel to wrap her hair into a bun.
"It's true that I haven't seen any change for him and his father when I visited them, but I may be afraid that his mother would recover first. Although his mother has vivid memories of our family, but there might be a chance she could remember everything of that day." Youichi had his hand on his chin, worries popping up.
"That's why we need to train Mikan for this. We can't have them recovering their memories." Rei's hands were folded and he leaned back on the sofa. It was a short silence before Youichi spoke.
"Wait, she may know something about it." Mikan and Rei were not surprised.
"But she has no memories of her family…."
"And they do not have memories of her…." Rei continued her words.
"So what about it?" Both spoke at the same time, leading Youichi to sweat drop. Those two are in twin mode…. Mikan and Rei were just siblings. Different birthdays, different age. But they were able to do it somehow even before Youichi and Rei went for Gakuen Alice. Till today, it was still a mystery for Youichi to find out how his brother and sister were able to do that.
"Never mind…."
"Oh Mikan, I may have to introduce you as a DA student from now on. Are you fine with it?" Rei stared at Mikan, who gave no reaction.
"Don't mind. Just introduce me as Dark Angel. They probably forgot I was a DA student by now." Mikan gave a smile to Rei, whose eyes widened. He smiled, shaking his head. He knew very well what that means. You just erased their memory again…..
A certain blonde was walking through the dark pathway. Nearing the exit of the pathway, she smiled to the person that is in front of person who was sitting on the seat was younger than what most people would think: A body of a child. Only, this was the side effect he received after years. The chair was too big for him, since he looked like one elementary school student sitting on the royal throne.
"Come here, my dearest daughter. Come talk to me about that." The kid, more likely saying, the adult in a child's body, called the blonde forth.
"Yes, father." She smiled wider as she accepted the invitation. It was usually rare to let her sit beside him.
"How's the progress of that?"
"Perfect. Soon we could have the throne all to us again." She could think of becoming princess again, if it wasn't that certain family who crushed them.
"How about them?" He stopped smiling. She knew that it was a heavy topic to proceed, but she still replied.
"I hit the princess's shoulder, where she protected the child whom we capture, and sadly she escaped." Her head was down, not wanting to see her father's face, which had twisted in anger.
"What?! Are you telling me that she is still alive? Alive?!" He shouted, as though he didn't get his candy. The liquor that he was drinking was spilled on her, and the wine glass was broken as he threw it on the floor. The glass scratched her perfect leg, blood oozing out.
"Honey, don't shout at our daughter like that. She doesn't deserve that after giving Batrachotoxin to that pathetic girl. I bet she wouldn't survive that poison." A lady who looked like the blonde walked out as the father-daughter duo turned to the source. She kissed him, slowly dissipating his anger.
"Lucy, times became difficult for us now, especially when that family took over the kingdom. Look at you. You are not wearing antique clothes especially for you when you are Queen back then." He wasn't happy with how his wife dresses, especially how they work these days.
"Oh come on, our chain of banks is doing well. What's with the sudden feeling of ruling that kingdom for?" Lucy smiled at her husband, who just sighed.
"I want more power. Then we can have our statuses back. Lucy, remember being all powerful. It's the best feeling we could have!" He was laughing, really think of the situations he could have while his daughter kept quiet for some time. Lucy was laughing along with him.
"Of course I remember very well. But this life is also great." Lucy looked at the time but answering. She slowly looked at her husband. "But it's fabulous if we have that life again." An evil smile crept on her face, agreeing to the plan. The father and the daughter smiled along with her, enjoying the creepy night together.
