*Chapter 10*

Natsume gasped silently, she killed somebody? Nozomi's great granddaughter?, "You're simply speaking bullshit" ,he managed to say leaving his thoughts behind. Of course Nozomi's descendent can't be that kind of person.

The grey haired smirked playfully. "You are the one who doesn't know a thing about that girl", he received a frown in response by the vampire. "I only have to see someone to have complete access to their entire life"

The crimson eyed one opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Youichi who wanted to speak again. "Can you imagine how boring it is to collect pure souls?", Natsume didn't answer. "Vampires are the ones who collect the evil souls to deliver them to the underworld, am I wrong?"

He was certainly right. Natsume knew that the lower class vampires had this said task. Meanwhile the upper class vampires managed the big companies.

"That's why I stopped following the rules", he looked at him once more. "That's why I can let you communicate with your dear Nozomi"

Natsume made a fist with both of his hands, tightly. He directed his fist towards the soul collector's face, he dodge the hit though. "I told you, didn't I? I only need to see someone to have access to his entire life…that's how powerful I am"

Natsume knew this man was powerful even without him telling him about his abilities. It was like if he was controlling his mind somehow. He didn't know what to say, his mind was blank.

You might be thinking, 'why doesn't Youichi take her soul away?' Well, since Youichi is a soul collector from heaven, his hands won't be able to touch dark souls, only pure ones. That's why he needs Natsume's help. Knowing he made an impact on the vampire, Youichi took a few steps closer to him. "It's really simple, as a vampire, you have access to the tainted souls…what you have to do is the following-"

"Natsume!", a loud, high pitched voice was heard. Waking Natsume up from the soul collector's brain washing session. He was surprised, a voice was able to take him back to reality and that voice was none other than, Mikan's.

He turned his head to look at her, it was the first time she called him by his name. "I was calling you, didn't you hear me?" She asked but only received a confused look in response. "Are you okay?", she asked placing her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.

"My god, you're so cold!", Mikan stated worriedly.

Nastume quickly turned his gaze from Mikan to the soul collector who only looked at Mikan blushing madly. What the hell with this soul collector? He looked like a fanboy. What happened with the scary man from before?

"Wait, she can't see you?", Natsume asked, Youichi shook his head in response, slightly disappointed. "I'm only seen by demons", he sighed. "Well, you have a day to think, see ya!" , he said goodbye taking a step closer to Mikan pecking her cheek with a quick kiss.

Unknownly for him, Natsume frown hardly and extended his hand to reach Mikan's smaller one. He pulled her next to him glaring the soul collector. Youichi raised a brow before commenting, "So this is how it is, huh?", and then dissapeared in seconds

Mikan only looked at Natsume confused, of course she was blushing a little as well. She wasn't expecting him to do that but who was he talking with? "Who are you talking with?"

Natsume shook his head as he tried to walk but his legs felt were still shaking a little, Mikan quickly placed his arm around her elbows as both of them walked back to the house. Natsume hated when someone helps him and worse if it's a human, but just for now, he let it go.

Natsume thanked in his mind, he almost gave this girl's life away, who was helping him now, how can this girl be a murderer? He shook his head, is he going to believe that wicked man? He didn't know for sure. He also kept thinking about why he felt bothered when he kissed her? Maybe because she looked like Nozomi…yeah that must be it. (A/N: Seriously Natsume?)

Meanwhile Mikan only thought was that Natsume might have an imaginary friend.

"Lay down in the couch", Mikan said with a 'do-it-or-die' look. Natsume rolled his eyes as he obeyed, not wanting more problems with that loud girl.

He closed his eyes for a second and after that lost track of time. He opened his eyes again when he felt a towel on top of his forehead. He saw Mikan wiping of his sweat. She stopped abruptly, "I'm sorry…I woke you up?", she asked.

Mikan wasn't still sure about if the way she feels towards Natsume is love, she has decided to leave those feelings anyway, so they don't grow and she won't end up broken-hearted; Natsume already has a girlfriend though.

Natsume sat down, "What time is it?"

Mikan checked her wrist watch, "3 pm"

He sighed in relief; it wasn't that late, he still could go for his daily report. Still, he could hardly believe he slept since 10am they arrived back to the house until now.

"I will sleep back at the room", he excused himself, Mikan nodded. "Sleep well"

She sighed in relief, she really was trying hard to not get attached more to this guy but it seemed almost impossible.

She decided to stop thinking about it and make herself something to eat. Yuka and her grandma where shopping somewhere and left them alone. She was starving, that Natsume doesn't eat or what?

She then smiled brightly, an idea popped in her mind. "I should make him something to eat", she said out loud before taking his cellphone and goggled, "easy British lunches", maybe he's acting weird because he's homesick.

(A/N: Oh, Mikan…you have no remedy. )

"Ruka!", Natsume called out loudly. Ruka almost fell from his chair in surprise. Hotaru, who was sitting down on the bed while reading a 'how-to-be-rich' magazine eyed the crimson one.

"Y-yes?", he asked fearing a little. It's been a while since Natsume seemed so mad.

"We need to talk", he started and then turned his gaze towards the short black haired female. "You, leave"

Hotaru simply lowered her gaze back to the magazine as she flipped the next page. Natsume looked at Ruka with a 'do-something!' look. Ruka only forced a smile, "Hotaru, please leave us alone"

Then she closed the magazine with a sighed, she stood from the bed giving Natsume a hate look as she opened the door to leave towards Ruka's office.

"What is it, Natsume? Have you seen your father?", he asked worried.

Natsume growled sitting next to his best friend. "I'll see him after I tell you this. You were right, that Youichi Hijiri is a different kind of soul collector…a lunatic one!"

Ruka raised a brow. "He wasn't able to help you?"

Natsume shook his head. "He can help me but he's asking for Nozomi's great daughter's soul in exchange…and he has a weird power, he's able to control me"

Ruka gulped, "Are you accepting the deal?"

He sighed messing his hair with his hands. "I don't know. I want to speak with Nozomi but a part of me doubts. I need to ask you a favor…"

Ruka looked at him seriously, "Sure, whatever you need"

"Can you stay with me in the human world for a while?"

Ruka was taken aback with his request. "Sure but with a few conditions…first-"

He was interrupted by the loud sound of the door closing. Both of them turned to look at the girl panting with her back leaning on the door. Tears started streaming down her face with fury, she was sobbing. Ruka quickly hugged her, "W-what happened?", It was the second time he sees her like that. His heart ached so badly it was hard for him to talk.

"S-she's here…the girl I see in my dreams"

Mikan smiled proudly with the outcome of her British sandwiches, she couldn't wait for Natsume to see them. She opened the door slightly knowing he was sleeping. "Natsume you have to eat something or else you will-"

She stopped taking when she saw a mesmerizing light emerging from the floor, she lowered her gaze to see where the light came from. It wasn't from the floor but from a key. She tilted her head, why did she feel she have seen this light before? Even though she have never seen something like this, she still felt like it was a deja vu.

She felt so attracted she couldn't help but to approach it, she touched it and gasped when she realized her hand went through it. She eyed the room, it was empty. It could only mean one thing, Natsume was inside that light.

She then threw herself to the light closing his eyes tightly until she hit the floor. She opened her eyes still a little scared. She found herself in a big room, it had a big book shelf that covered almost all the walls, a large desk and a really big window behind her. She could distinguish a big full red moon that seemed to be only centimeters away.

She then heard the door being opened, shocked she hided behind the desk.

"Stupid Natsume", she heard an emotionless voice complain. She could distinguish the voice as a female one.

She flinched, she knows Natsume? And why was she calling him by his first name? Was she someone close to him or what? Wait Mikan…is that jealousness? Oh, hell no!

Wait…she knew that voice. She stood up instantly, locking her hazel eyes with a pair of well-known amethysts orbs. Both of them froze for a minute as Mikan's tears started falling unstoppable. "H-Hotau!", she shouted as she threw herself towards her best friend.

Hotaru only moved away, and Mikan fell to the floor once more. By this point Hotaru's mind was a mess. She simply ran away meanwhile tears streamed down her face as well, unable to stop them.

Mikan tried to stand up but she found herself without strength. Her body was heavy, "HOTARU!", she kept calling her, sobbing, dragging her body to the exit.

The door opened abruptly , as she felt a pair of arms carrying her body from the floor. "Just…what the hell are you doing here?", Natsume asked more worried than angry.

"Please…please Natsume, Hotaru's here…Hotaru's alive…please, let me see her", she begged.

Natsume entered the portal carrying her bridal style as she tried to free herself from his grip but she was so tired, unknown for her, the red full moon give energy to vampires but take the energy from humans away.

Before she could realize, they were already back at their room and the light had disappeared. "Natsume please let me see Hotaru!", she shouted again feeling energized.

"I'm sorry", he placed her index finger on her forehead, ready to do the same thing once more. She couldn't know about the vampires and her late best friend turned into a half vampire. It was too much information for a human. "Forget"

He opened his eyes abruptly; he couldn't see Mikan's memories. "What are you doing?", she asked.

It didn't work?

"What happened there? Where did that light took me? Why was my best friend there!?"

What the hell...

"Answer me Natsume! Who are you!?"

My powers…are gone!?

(Author's Note)

What!? Natsume's powers are gone!? How did this happen?

Any idea?
