Okay the happiness for Natsume and Mikan ends here, the rest is just sadness for Mikan. Can she cope, what will happen to her? Read on and find out for yourselves, if you want...

Me: Disclaimed.

Natsume: Of course.

Natsume: She only owns the brats of this story.

Me: And the misfortune of me putting this story up.

Natsume: No good will come out of this story, fellow reviewers.

Me: Her tears are wasted...

Don't Drown in your Tears

Ten: Plan 2

Mikan awoke to sunlight streaming through the window and the blinds that tried to trap it. She yawned, how long had she been asleep? Long enough, it was a saturday, and usually, she was awake by 9:00pm latest, but today she woke up at 11:00pm. She sighed and yawned, sitting up on her futon that was rested in natsume's room. She sighed. She had slept in there two whole days, she blushed.

She was warming to him, and she would let him hold her tightly and let him kiss her forehead and hold her hand. She assured people they weren't dating, much to Natsume, and Hotaru's disappointment. But, what everyone was waiting for was Mikan's smile to shine again. Mikan still yelled and glared at people, and her habits of biting would not die, but when they finally did, they would be missed very little, Mikan realised.

Risa had been glaring at her more, and Mikan realised she was getting worse. Numerous times in the hall Mikan had tripped because of the bitchy little witch, and Risa had blamed it on Mikan herself, always grinning as she said every word. Mikan hated that girl, she just didn't know how much more Risa would hurt her... She had no idea, but, Miyako did...

Miyako stood on a tree branch, deciding not to sit today, arms folded as she watched Risa push past people, gradually, she was showing her true nature, and less people liked the bitch. Miyako folded her arms and sighed, shaking her head. She just hoped nothing happened to Mikan, was all. She at least wanted someone to have the happy ending she didn't, and that excluded her terrible twin, she wanted Risa to die.

To be truthful, most people did, but Risa wasn't so easily dropped off, she always sprung back up, with a new plan, like she had today. She growled as she stomped down the hallways, her pretty face twisted into an ugly scowl as she cracked a pencil in half, and threw it at an innocent student who stared at her, and she glared at him, then, smiled sweetly before walking off again.

Risa then sat down under a tree, waiting for someone, anyone to come towards her, she needed to test out her plan and use her other powerful alice on them, just to prove it would work. Miyako stalked her, hating her sister more than ever, but she sat behind the tree, when someone suddenly walked past, a boy, Risa grinned, and stood up, grabbing his collar, and making him face her, darkness in her eyes.

"Look into my eyes, kid!" she snapped, and he stared at her, wide eyed as she grinned, and pulled his collar tighter.

"You love me, right?" she hissed, and suddenly, his eyes turned hollow and blank, and he nodded, sytaring at her, and smiling as she stared at him and grinned. The alice of seduction was her second alice, and she was going to use it on Natsume Hyuuga, and some more of his little friends, just to make sure she could win the battle. She wanted to break Mikan Sakura so badly.

And what better way to do it than to seduce her loved ones? And make them hate her. It wasn't just seduction she obtained, iit was also the voice pheromone, to make people do whatever she said, and it was such a wonderful alice. The Mikota heir sighed happily, she was so glad she obtained that precious gift from her father, Reo, she grinned. Of course, she didn't know him, but, she didn't care, he gave her power to kill Mikan Sakura, and to get the one she wanted.

But if he was dead, she thought, surely she would spit on his grave, she loathed him for leaving her and their mother, leaving them forever. But Risa just grinned. At least, if she saw him, she would kill him, or better yet, get someone else to kill him. Too bad she couldn't control Mikan to kill herself, or, she would have done it sooner, if it wasn't for the powerful and rare alice of nullification. But, hurting her was better. She could watch it all in slow motion, and love it more than anything!

Because, if she got Mikan to kill herself by an alice, then there would be no emotions in her eyes, she wanted to see that pain, to see the hurt in Mikan's eyes, to watch her cry as she watched Natsume fall to her and to hate her without knowing it. Risa wanted Mikan to beg. She wanted her to cry and crumple up, she wanted Mikan dead. She wanted the girl out of the way.

And after Mikan was gone, she would kill off the rest of her little friends, so that no one, and she meant it, no one could interfere with her and Natsume's perfect relationship. She grinned. Even if she had to make Natsume love her by force, she would be happy. Happier than ever.

Risa laughed as the boy staring at her smiled, and she pushed him away, so that his head his a large rock and he bled, she stepped towards him, hands on her hips, grinning like an elf as she laughed, and her eyes grew dark and cold. She had no care in her, she didn't care if he died.She stood there, laughing as she watched his head bleed and then she put a foot on his hand, and crushed it under her shoe, smirking with mirth.

"My love is only for Natsume. No one else can love him... He's mine. And no one should FORGET IT!" she yelled into the air, and grinned, laughing and walking off, twirling and swinging her bag dangerously as her long hair flew out behind her, and Miyako watched her, then went towards the boy, and stopped the bleeding before it became too bad, and turned human for a moment. She couldn't let him die, Risa was too cruel.

She had reasons for killing people, Miyako did, but, Risa had no reason to try and murder this guy...

Mikan was walking through the school canteen, it was lunch, and she was starting to eat again, much to everyone's delight, soon, she would be the sweet-toothed loud Mikan they had all loved again. There was no sign of Sumire that day, but they had thought she was ill and couldn't go to classes or lunch. Mikan sat beside Hotaru, who gave Mikan a small smile.

"Are you okay?" she asked with concern edged in her voice as Mikan nodded, then sighed and stared down at her food, how was she supposed to eat all of that? She normally had just one bite and there, she was finished. She shrugged it off and took her fork in her hand, and slowly, she started to eat her food, chewing and swallowing. She wanted to stop, but, she knew it was for her own good.

Mikan ate and ate as everyone else watched her, and ate their own food. They wanted to make sure Mikan ate everything on her plate. They smiled when she did, and she stared at them, and stood up. She took her plate and tray back to the counter, then left to go to the bathroom. No one followed her. They knew she would be okay. As Mikan walked down the empty halls, she was jumped by Sumire, and she jumped, then clamed down when she saw who it was.

"Oh, Shoda, it's only you. I thought you were some blood thirsty murderer or that Risa bitch. Oh well, I thought you were ill, are you okay now?" she asked Sumire who just stared at her, with cold eyes that were filled with hatred. Mikan stared at the girl, and paused for a moment. What could be wrong with the perm-haired girl, she thought to herself as Sumire glared at her.

"Shoda, cat got your tongue?" she asked as Sumire glare dat her, then suddenly, pounced and knocked Mikan to the floor, and Mikan screamed as Sumire slapped her in the face, then let her claws come out as Mikan screamed, eyes wide with shock, she tried to stop her, but one of the claws was aimed at her neck, and blood seeped through a deep wound by the side of her neck. Mikan was awfully lucky.

"You bitch! Die. No one wants you hear, you brat! You just fucking die like your dead grandfather! Stab yourself, bitch!" cried Sumire as Mikan cried in fright, and pushed her off, getting up and running down the halls as Sumire hissed, and bounded after her on all fours. Mikan screamed, running faster as she reached a tree, and tried to climb up it, but Sumire pulled her down, and grinned, Mikan saw her eyes were blank. She gasped.

The Voice Permonone! Mikan stared at Sumire, who scratched Mikan's cheek as the blood dripped down her face, and Mikan pushed her away, backing up against the tree, shivering slightly as Sumire glared at her.

"Sumire, what's wrong! Don't you see, you're being controlled! Listen to me, Shoda! Shoda! PERMY FUCKING GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!" Mikan screamed, but Sumire just descended on Mikan as Mikan yelled and yelled, when someone threw something at Sumire, and Mikan gasped, looking up at the tree brach as a girl stood there with long blonde hair, glaring at Sumire, arms folded.

"Leave her alone, you cat!" she hissed, when someone ran towards them, and glared up at Miyako, coldly.

"You will not interfere with my battle, you little bitch! Sumire, KILL Mikan Sakura!" screamed Risa as Mikan gasped, and Sumire was ready to pounce, when Miyako jumped down, and glared at her sister, holding out her hand as Sumire screamed and flew backwards. Mikan gasped, hands to her mouth as Risa glared at her sister, coldly.

"This isn't over, you, Mikan Sakura, will die!" she screamed, and Risa disappeared into the school as Miyako watched her leave, then helped Mikan up, and turned into a ghost again. Only Mikan could see her, though. Miyako stared at Mikan, no emotion in her eyes as she held Mikan's hand, tightly.

"Don't let Risa fool you, Sakura. Don't you dare drown in your tears!" hissed the ghost, and she then walked off as Mikanw atched her, don't drown in your tears? What the hell did that mean? Natsume had said it, a long time ago, but, no one knew what it meant. Mikan stood there, staring...

X-X-X

In the halls, Sumire and Risa were walkinga s Risa growled, throwing her fist into everything she could see. Then, she heard more footsteps, and she turned around as Sumire ducked into a small space to hide. Risa stared at the figure, and saw two people. She saw that they were Ruka Nogi, and Imai Hotaru. She grinned. Her next targets. Her grin was so malicious. Ruka and Hotaru stopped when they saw her, and instantly glared.

"Hello, kiddies." she grinned, hands on her hips as they glared at her, and backed away a little, so they were out of her reach.

"Don't walk away from me, you impudent brats! Come here!" she ordered, and the two suddenly walked towards her, and she grinned, then pulled Ruka closer, and kissed him as his eyes widened, and once she pulled away, his emotions were lost, and he was under her power and command as she grinned, and put her mouth to his ear, whispering coldly,

"You hate Mikan Sakura, she is your enemy. Mikan doesn't love you, she thinks you're a fool. She's been laughing behind your back, Ruka. She thinks you are worthless and pityful for all these years of liking her. She thinks she is the best, but no, she isn't, Ruka, Mikan isn't your friend, she's your enemy! Hate her, and hurt her." she hissed as Ruka's eyes widened, and he nodded, his hands curling into fists, and he punched a wall suddenly, sending a crack up the tiles as Hotaru watched in horror, and Risa turned her gaze to the raven haired inventor, and grinned,

"And you! Mikan Sakura is not your best friend anymore! She hates you, despises your living guts, She thinks you are a freaky girl with no life or emotions! She has been lauging at you ever since she met you. In her diary she said she wanted you dead, she thinks you are nothing but dirt! She wants to kill you. Mikan Sakura is a little bitch, a whore! She was messing with your heart, Hotaru Imai! Don't let her win! Hate her! Forever!" she yelled into Hotaru's ear as Hotaru stood there, glaring over at Mikan who sat under a tree, her cheek bleeding, and Hotaru growled.

"I... hate you Mikan Sakura." she hissed as Risa grinned, and her laughter rang out through the corridors of the alice academy... Her plan was going to be a success, it was sad to say...
