Lost Memories
Chapter Nine: Locked Up
Mikan opened the door to find Tsubasa screaming at nobody like a crazy person and Yuki and Natsume collapsed on the ground. Mikan ran over to Yuki but not before kicking Natsume in the side. "Are you okay Yu-Kun?" Mikan asked as she shook her close friend awake.
There were scorch marks all over his clothes and body with scratches and bruises beginning to form. He just nodded his head and slowly staggered to his feet. Natsume did as well but then started to get into a horrible coughing fit. Soon, blood came splattering out of his mouth. He wiped his lips and started to pant. "Natsume?" Mikan asked with a concern look, "Are you okay?"
Natsume rolled his eyes. "Do I look okay to you, you Baka!" Natsume snapped at her as he staggered out of the burnt classroom.
But, he had only bumped into Persona. "What happened to my classroom?" He asked in a stoic voice with a dark aura seeping out of his body.
Natsume just kept quiet and tried to get past him. "As that guy over there." Natsume replied before squeezing through Persona.
Persona looked at Yuki. "Come here." He commanded.
Mikan put her arms in front of Yuki to keep him from going to Persona. "It's not his fault!" Mikan yelled.
Tsubasa looked at her with a strange and confused expression. Natsume also looked back in the classroom with an odd expression. "They were fighting because of me." Mikan said, "I should take the blame since I caused this…mess."
Persona made a sinister smile which sent chills down Mikan's back. "Are you sure you'll be able to handle both their consequences?"
Mikan nodded her head. "Mikan." Yuki said in his weak voice.
Persona extended his hand towards Mikan and his Alice started to seep out and surround Mikan. Mikan just shook her head. "You do know that I have the Nullifying Alice right?" Mikan said as the Alice just surrounded her like Mikan was in a giant clear bubble.
"Yes, but you'll take it in if you don't want the other people in the room to be effected."
Mikan gasped and looked around. The dark gas was moving away from Mikan but was heading towards Tsubasa and Yuki. Mikan put down her Nullifying Alice and let the Alice seep and press on to her body. Her body felt hot and she couldn't keep her eyes open. She collapsed onto the floor.
I opened my eyes to see the snowflakes slowly drifting to the ground. "It's snowing." I whispered as I pulled out my hand so that I could hold it.
It melted in my hand and only left a small droplet of water. I couldn't help but frown. "I wonder if I bury myself and just let myself sleep in the snow…if I'll die." I thought.
I looked around to see that no one was around. I went to the northern forest that already had a large amount of snow packed around it. I started to dig a hole with my bare hands until they felt numb. The hole was big enough so I slid in. It was comfortable yet chilling. I started to bury my legs that now felt damp. I looked up at the cloudy sky to see only snow flakes falling. "Good bye world." I whispered as I covered my face last.
I don't remember how long I was lying in the snow but then I felt something warm press against my cold body. I opened my heavy tofu eye lids to see someone's neck and dark hair. "You Baka." He muttered, "What the hell is wrong with you! Burying yourself in the snow and making me dig you out! You idiot, you could have died! I'm going to wring her neck once she wakes up."
"Well I guess you going to have to wring my neck now then." I replied with a sarcastic tone.
He turned his head slightly and then turned back but, not before I saw his crimson eyes. "Shut up." He said, "What's wrong with you?"
I kept quiet. "I don't want to be in the academy anymore." I whispered into his ear.
He shook his head. "Your only taking the easy way out of this hell hole." He replied, "All of us want to go back to our normal lives but, we can't…but you don't see any or us killing ourselves now do you?"
I shook my head. I continued to star at nothing while Natsume carried to who knows where. "Hey Natsume." I said after a few minutes of him treading snow, "How did you know I was there?"
Natsume was quiet. "Natsume?" I called.
"I was going to ask you if you wanted Halowan when I saw you go into the forest and wondering why so I followed you…and I saw all of it…I thought you were just playing in the snow so I waited and after a few minutes I had to dig you out."
I started laughing but, that gave me a whole bunch of curses thrown at me and almost getting burnt. "Sorry…it's just that I thought I could be finally done with this place if I did that."
He looked up at the sky. "Well you're stuck here like the rest of us so you better not try that again or I swear I'll torture you."
I smiled. "Thanks for the thought Natsume."
"Hn."
Mikan opened her eyes to find her hand cuffed to a metal pole. She sighed and looked around. She was locked up in some cold damp place which seemed like some underground place maybe close to a boiler? Well she just sat there in the cold and listened to the rats scurrying around looking for food. She sighed and winced. She looked at her arms to see large black spots around her. She leaned her head against the damp brick wall and took deep breaths. The air felt thick and suffocating. "Iwonder," She thought, "WhatwouldpeoplesayifIkilledmyselfrightnow."
Mikan shook her head. She felt so tired yet her muscles screamed for her to move but, she just couldn't. She felt so helpless. She looked around to find nothing near her to break the special handcuffs with. Her stomach growled. Great. She ran her free hand that was cuffed through her tangled hair and started to open and close her hands. Nowwhat? Now she was stuck in the stupid cell with nothing to do. Thingsgofrombadtoworst.She felt her bladder and she felt the need to use the toilet. She sighed. "48 more hours before I can get out of here I guess if I'm going my math right." She said, "Or maybe more…most likely more."
Mikan closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep
