"Confusion is the answer to every problem, its also the problem to every answer."
Hotaru POV
Something wasn't right. I knew this for many reasons. The biggest give away might have been I had no control over my body or mouth. Mikan. That idiot liked Hyuuga, so what? What was the big deal, why were these people acting like this? Why was I acting like this. Why was Ruka acting like that? Then I saw it, his blue eyes happen to set upon mine in a hurry panic, he was being controlled too. It seems like years I've been trapped in my mind, watching as I acted icy then guilty for my actions. Ruka been near me as our fake self grow closer. I can see it in his eyes, he's breaking. Ruka is someone who is not like me, he can't stand isolation. Watching Mikan break must hard for him too, she has gone crazy. Right now I am talking to Ruka yet I am saying things I don't want to say.
"I can't take this," I say, even I can hear the fake guilt in my voice. Fake Ruka hugs me and pats me on my back.
"Its not your fault." Before I realize it his lips are on mine, his eyes are open as mine. I see the distress and how afraid he is, he must be as I can only guess my eyes are reflecting the rage I am feeling. If I ever gain control of my body again I will not forgive him. His eyes slip close as mine do too and I feel his hand slide across my face, its dark and I have no control. My eyes won't open and my body won't respond so I only wait as he and I fall onto the bed and kiss in only a way a giddy school girl and boy would do. Its not that I find Ruka repulsive, its that I find these people repulsive. This isn't me and it isn't him, he doesn't want this…and it doesn't matter if I do. His hands are memorizing my skin as my own hand embrace him tightly. I wait, how long will I be trap in this person who isn't me?
End POV
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
She breathed heavily as he clutched her hand, the maid surround her pouring ice water on her.
"Don't you die yet!" he screams, she looks at him.
"I love you." he doesn't seem concerned.
"If you love me then live, are plan will be ruined and it will be all your fault." She gazes at him.
"I'm sorry," she said and he realizes its too late.
"Your nothing to me, nothing!" he slaps her and leaves the room. She's left alone, its only her and her faithful maid.
"Ms. Juliet!" Her maid says clutching her hand.
"I'm sorry Mary, I won't make it. I'll always love him though." Tears ran down her face as she choked down the guilt.
"He's a vile man! He uses you and.."
"SILENCE! DO NOT SPEAK ILY OF MY LOVE!" she screech as tears rolled down her face. She suddenly gasp as death took over. "I'm so sorry Mary, tell him I'm so--" she was gone. Mary cried as her mistress went limp. Her body faded away into silver dust and floated out the open window towards the moon, Mary could have sworn she heard the faint whisper as she left, the faint voice of 'I'll always love him..'
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
He paced the room standing over the green hair man.
"She's dead, they have control. Its only time until he figures it out and we have a rebellion!" the man shouted as the green hair man chuckled. He merely snapped his fingers as a girl walk into the room.
"Yes master?" she ask. The man gaped at her, he couldn't? He was defiantly not going to use…
"Sky. Make I need you to manipulate time around him. Make him see her death, her pain, her suffering at his hands. Make him see the monster he is, the monster the academy made him, I want him to loathe himself, her, the academy." The girl showed no emotion even though her eyes showed hate.
"Yes sir," her monotone voice came dull to her own ears. The man simply waved his hand and she was gone.
"We don't need Juliet anymore anyways. She was going to be killed anyways." The man chuckled at the green haired man words.
"What a useless wench."
"You talk so about your wife, mother to your children?" the man shrugged.
"She was nothing to me." He said, nothing but truth in his tone.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
Hotaru gasp. She broke away from Ruka kiss, one of their many kisses. She look at him breathing heavily as he looked at her.
"Nogi." she said he voice slightly strained. He looked at her.
"Imai?" he questioned. His eyes widened. "Imai!" he said, then he punch the air, started walking, and turned around twice. "I can move, I can speak!" he shouted as he mumbled many incoherent words and moved around in a very odd manner. Hotaru watch him dully as she hid a smile, she was able to make herself hide a smile again. Ruka stop moving for a second and looked at her, then his face went red. She smirk, what a school boy. She simply glared at him.
"We have business to attend to," she said. He look at her, she was going to pretend like it never happened? He shook his head, she was incredible. His lip still tingled from her kissed and he guess her did too and yet she stood there as if he was nothing more then an object. Oh wait. She didn't kiss him…er…..will she did. But not of her own will. Suddenly memories flew past him, Mikan, Natsume, the academy, the AAO. He couldn't breath, Natsume. Natsume was gone Mikan was broken and it was all his doing, his doing for not gaining control of himself faster. He gasp for air as he remembered more. A strong hand gripped his shoulder and force him up. "Fix what you have done or die, your choice." Hotaru said as he struggled to breath, logic seeped into his brain and he remembered how to breath. He looked at her.
"Where to begin?" she held out a sheet of paper.
"I made this list of what you have to do." he gaped, when did she…? She threw the list in his direction and headed towards the door of his room. "You have 24 hours to get all those things done, your time started five minutes ago" He look down at the impossible list of things to do. He had to get to work!.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mikan stared at Hotaru. Mikan. Mikan herself stared at Hotaru. Not masked Mikan, not broken Mikan, but innocent stupid Mikan.
"H-Hotaru…you d-didn't..and Ruka-Pyon didn't…you guys…" she sobbed. Hotaru rolled her eyes as her friend cried her eyes out into her shirt. After explaining everything to Mikan she immediately dropped the act and started to cry. She pulled away from Hotaru. "Natsume." she said, she said it so softly even Hotaru struggled to here it. "He'll come back now?" Hotaru looked into the hazel eyes of her best friend, she knew it wasn't that easy. The AAO was dirty with tricks, who knew how Natsume was no, it was highly doubtful he was the same Natsume. She knew he would be brained washed and probably very angry right now, but she couldn't say that to Mikan.
"Maybe, he'll be back soon." Mikan didn't look satisfied but she smiled anyways, still guarded. Hotaru had noticed Mikan had taken on many of Natsume traits, the main one of never showing her true self. Hotaru wondered if she even knew Mikan, if Natsume never came back no one might ever know Mikan. She didn't know how to react to this. She didn't know how to react to love, whether it be to her own love or someone else's. She wasn't good with emotions, she liked everything better when emotions weren't involved. "Yes, he'll be back soon," she lied. And watch as her friend smiled and hugged her tightly. Lying was the second best thing to no emotions.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
A/N: Ok! Yay! Done. Ok here is a quick explanation of what happen in this chapter:
Ruka and Hotaru have been controlled by some character in the AAO since chapter 2. So anything from chapter 3 up was not them. The character died in this chapter (Juliet) and we got to see how the AAO was dealing with this. We also saw a bit of Hotaru and Ruka feelings towards each other and we saw Mikan dropping yet another mask yet still keeping one, one she'd only take off for Natsume. Yes Mikan isn't crazy anymore! Also Natsume wasn't in this chapter but hopefully he'll be in the next one!
Ok please R&R I'll update soon I have a billion ideas for this story since I haven't been able to write in such a long time.
