Mikan POV

I was sitting with onii-sama underneath my favorite sakura tree, waiting for Natsume who was late. (not surprising) I was once again wearing my mask, weapons, and mission clothes.

"Are you sure your ready?" Onii-sama asked for the hundredth time.

"Yeah. I'm ready." I replied in a steely voice.

'You are an emotionless weapon.' I chanted, repeating the words that had been beaten into me since I was little, 'You will do anything necessary to hide your identity and complete your mission. No emotion can be allowed, wether-'

My thoughts were cut short when I heard a rustling sound above my head. I looked up, only to see Natsume jumping down from the sakura tree, and landing beside me. Onii-sama and i stood up.

"Your late." Onii-sama said emotionlessly, his voice laced with annoyance.

Natsume just shrugged.

"As you both should know, your mission tonight is to infiltrate the AAO headquarters and retrieve a kidnapped Alice. The place is teeming with guards, so you must always be on guard. There are 200 total. 50 outside, 150 inside. You may do with them, whatever you please.

The kidnapped Alice is named Akane Gekkou, age 7. She has the alice of darkness."

As soon as he said the name of her Alice, onii-sama's words turned into a murmur in the background. I stiffened. The alice of darkness was taboo. It was said that whoever has it bring only misfortune and death to those around them. And if you are touched by it, you are cursed and after suffering for 10 years, you will die a horrible death. It's exactly the type of power the AAO would abuse. This had not been in the information. If I messed up, the AAO could take control of the whole world, with one little girl.

"Hell's Angel," I snapped out of my thoughts, "you will lead the mission."

"Gladly."

--------------

Natsume POV

I was listening silently to Persona going over the mission. He had just mentioned the Alice, when I suddenly felt Hell's Angel stiffen.

What was wrong with the Alice of darkness?

I glanced over to her, only to see that she was completely still. So still, in fact, that you couldn't even tell if she was breathing or not. After 5 more minutes, I began to worry. What was wrong with her?

"Hell's Angel, you will lead the mission." Persona ordered. Those words seemed to snap her out of her trance.

In the coldest, most intimidating voice I had ever heard, she snarled the reply, "Gladly."

---------------------

We were hiding outside the AAO's not-so-secret headquarters. I was sitting there, bored and silent when suddenly, "Persona was wrong. There are 250, not 200. 100 outside, 150 inside." Hell's Angel announced.

"And you knew that... how?" I asked her skeptically.

"You doubt me?" she asked in a icy voice.

I stayed quiet, smart enough to not say anymore.

"X-ray Alice." she muttered quickly.

Why was I not surprised? This girl seemed to have everything! Fire, Ice, Water, Wind, Metal, Earth, Mind reading, Animal Pheromone, Human Pheromone, and now X-ray. Who knows what else?

"Here's the plan," she said suddenly, "I take front, you back. When we reach the captives cell, you stand guard, just incase, while I retrieve her. From there, I will transport the three of us back to the Academy."

And now apparently she also has teleportation! Wait a second... "If we are teleporting away, why not just teleport directly into the cell?" I asked.

She chuckled darkly in response. I suddenly got the feeling that none of the 250 guards would be alive by the end of the night.

----------------------

Mikan POV

I was running through the hallways, killing everything in sight, leaving no one for Natsume. I knew that it would end up happening that way of course. I planned it so.

Natume, still following uselessly behind me "tch'ed" as I killed another 10 guards with my water Alice, annoyed he didn't get to do anything. 190 guards down, 60 to go.

We rounded another corner, only to come face to face with a group of 55 guards, all bearing arms. I stopped running.

"Cover you ears." I commanded Natsume when he finally stopped.

"Huh?" he asked stupidly.

"Just do it!" i shouted angrily. He obeyed.

Using the Voice pheromone I had stolen from a previous guard before i killed him, in a calm but strong voice, i ordered them all, "DIE."

"Yes, oujo-sama." The 55 said mindlessly. They brought their guns to their heads and fired. I watched with cruel satisfaction, as their blood pooled around their fallen bodies, creating a bloody path to the entrance of the cell. 245 guards down. 5 more to go. Time to be heartless.

I couldn't let the AAO win, and i couldn't let Natsume think I was Mikan.

"Let's go."

----------------------

Natsume POV

I watched in silent horror as i ran past the mass of dead bodies.

'Acting or not, there was no way in hell Mikan could have done something like this.'

I followed her numbly until we reached the end of the hallway, 5 minutes later. There were only 5 guards at the entrance to the cell.

Oblivious to our presence, Hell's Angel killed all but one of the guards with her katana. The remaining guard, finally sensing us, turned around and gasped, looking frantically from Hell's Angel to his slaughtered comrades.

He dropped his gun, eyes wide with terror.

Making sure i couldn't see her face, she took her mask off. I could only see the back of her head.

"You know," Hell's Angel began casually, as though she hadn't just killed 249 men, "That little girl you have locked up in there, is very important to us." She said gesturing to me and herself.

The man sank to the floor and began trembling. She took another step.

"I-I'm sorry!" the man said frantically. "You can pass!" he tossed her they key's to the cell, which she caught. "I don't care! Just please spare me!" he pleaded.

The man was now shaking violently, with fear. He was backing up against the wall as Hell's Angel advanced. The lioness and her prey.

She giggled, and in an overly sweet voice said, "Sorry! But you see, I just can't let you live!" A single tear slid down the man's cheek, and he whimpered as needles of ice began forming above and around him. "Your the enemy." she whispered in the man's ear, leaning over. She sent one needle into his right arm. He cried out in pain.

My eye's widened.

She full out laughed as the guard grimaced in pain and tried not to scream.

She placed her mask back on her face, and in a hostile voice, said, "Good-bye!"

"NO!" I shouted, but it was too late.

She sent all of the needles through the man's body at once.

She then turned to me, sending a single blade of wind towards me at the same time.

I shut my eyes tight and did not open them until I heard a clatter. I looked down and saw my mask cut cleanly in half, on the floor.

"What happened to your mask will happen to you if you dare oppose me again." she said angrily.

My mind went blank and knee's weak, I sank down to the floor. Even if I, myself, had killed before, never in my life had i seen something so cruel and sadistic. Something that she had done for fun. I didn't like hurting others, and that display just now pushed me over the edge.

"How could you?" I whispered in a hollow voice. "How could you have just killed him like that? He was going to let you pass. You saw how terrified he was. And you... you just killed him for fun." I flashed back to her laugh as she impaled him with the first needle and i shuddered. "You enjoyed it."

"I have a standard to up hold." she said, her voice indifferent. "I am the Academy's top spy and secret weapon. I do my jobs with the upmost efficiency. That means that i cannot leave a single trace that could reveal me. That is how I have stayed anonymous all these years. And as you know, that man saw me, thus he could not be allowed to live. That is my way, and if you have a problem with it, never again accompany me on a mission."

My mind was blank. I couldn't comprehend her reasoning for such brutal killing.

She is not Mikan. I know that now.

So then why, despite all that had happened, did those words feel so wrong?

She looked down at me with pity.

"I will transport you back to the Academy now, instead of later. You are of no use to me."

And with that, I was enveloped in a bright white light, and next thing I knew, I was 10 feet away from Persona, underneath the sakura tree.

He rushed over to me, and I collapsed.

----------------

Mikan POV

I watched sadly as Natsume sank to the ground. His face was filled with pain, confusion, and fear. I knew he wouldn't be able to handle it. But I had to. The principal told me to do so.

All thoughts of me being Mikan were gone from his mind now.

'Phase 3: Completed. Mission success.'

"I will transport you back to the Academy now, instead of later. You are of no use to me." I said emotionlessly, a little bit of sadness creeping into my voice at the end.

And with that, I sent him back to the Academy, straight to onii-sama.

As I turned back to the door, a pang of remorse shot through me as I recalled his tortured expression. I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts, and with a deep breath, I opened the door to the cell, containing Akane.

'You are an emotionless weapon. You will do anything necessary to hide you identity and complete your mission. No emotion can be allowed, wether it be hate.... or love.'

---------------------

It's done! this chapter made me feel so sad when i wrote it.... T-T

You know, when typed up, this chapter isn't nearly as long as I thought it would be.... He he... sorry about that! I lied. (by accident, but it was a lie none the less)

BTW, have any of you guys had a weird encounter with someone who was reading your story? Because, I was eating lunch with a friend, and at another table, I saw someone with a laptop reading chapter 6! It was awesome! but SO weird.... RANDOM!

O.O

Well, please review! X3
