Chapter 10! I also forgot to mention that Yumiko is like Luna from the manga. Well, the scene when she came to class B and wanted to sit next to Natsume and stuff. But after she said "Natsume-kun, let's sit together!" that was the end of what I got from the manga. Well, here's chapter 10!
XxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxX
Classes seemed very gloomy. Like there was a dark cloud hanging over the classroom. When the teacher wasn't in the classroom yet, the students would talk. Natsume, Hotaru, Mikan and Ruka would usually hang out together, and sometimes Anna, Nonoko and Koko would join in.
But today, Natsume and Yumiko were together, while Mikan sat alone. She sent a glare at everyone who tried approaching or talking to her. Ruka and Hotaru were left alone.
"Hey…is it true that Natsume is going out with Hiragashi?" Hotaru asked, eyeing the couple.
Ruka shrugged,
"Natsume hasn't talked to me for three days…I think so, though."
"Sakura."
Persona appeared in the doorway. He gestured to her with his hand. Last time, Natsume had looked after her in worry. Now, he didn't even glance.
Mikan got up from her seat, and then walked over to him, completely ignoring Hotaru and Ruka.
Hotaru looked after her.
"She's lost trust." She stated.
"Hyuuga."
Ruka looked at her.
"What do you mean? How can you tell?"
"You should have figured out that Mikan liked Hyuuga."
Ruka nodded. He wasn't that dense.
"Mikan probably put a lot of trust into him. Something probably happened in the northern woods. Mikan has never ignored me. Never. Something's up, and I don't think its JUST the problem with Hyuuga and Hiragashi."
Ruka though for a bit.
"So…she heard that they were going out…?"
"Probably. And she seemed to have confirmed it. Mikan is a hard person to gain trust with. If you lose it, it's nearly impossible to win it back. There's not much hope for Hyuuga."

"I have another mission?!" Mikan yelled.
"This is the third one in a week!"
She had been going on mission in the night. She already had scars and bruises all over her body. No one could see them since she wore long clothes, as it was still winter.
"Unless you'd like out Kuro Neko to do it."
Mikan gasped a little. She hated the name of that bastard!!!
Yet…She somehow…didn't want him to get involved with this. If he chose Yumiko…she wanted him to be happy. She already had a terrible life…and she really didn't have anything more to lose…except Hotaru, maybe.
But…she felt like she should protect him.
"Fine," Her face softened.
"What is it?"
"Retrieve the Alice Amplification Amulet from Warehouse # 44335556789. The have more security now, most likely. Be careful."
Mikan smirked.
"Its not like you to worry, Persona."
"We can't afford to lose out best student to go on missions, now can we?"
"Heh…well, I'm off."
Mikan closed her eyes, and teleported to the warehouse.
Warehouse #4433556789…
Mikan landed in a tree. She looked around. True—there was more security, but not enough to match the great Mikan Sakura!
She used her x-ray Alice to see that they ere wearing earplugs to block out the voice pheromone.
"Tch…damn…I might have to use Narumi's Alice…"
She absolutely hated using Narumi's Alice. It made her feel like a pervert…an Alice to seduce people!
She thought for a moment.
"On second thought, I'm not in a good mood today so I'll use Jinno's instead."
She pointed her finger at the area of guards.
"Lighting!"
Most of the guards fell unconscious. She used another dose of lightning to take out the ones remaining.
"Mou…this is really too easy…" Mikan said, making her way into the warehouse, grabbing the amulet.
BAM BAM BAM!!!!!
Three gunshots were heard.
And they hit.
Her.
One hit Mikan in the arm, and the other skimmed her side. The last one hit her leg.
"Ugh…d-damn…"
"Heh heh heh…Mikan Sakura. The Academy's new favorite toy, huh?" A man with reddish-brownish hair came out from the shadows. Another man in a black suit and black glasses followed him.
"Sunglasses? Here? There's no sun, idiot," Mikan comment, sweating from the pain, still clutching the Alice Amulet.
"Heh..."
The man walked closer.
"I am Reo Mouri. I know all about you…" He walked closer, and due to the pain, she couldn't move. The bullet seemed to have some sort of poison on it, too.
"Heh…you look just like her….Azumi Yuka, that is."
Mikan gasped.
Her…HER MOTHER?!
Mikan scowled.
She hated her mother. For leaving her father and her when she was just three years old. Even in her earliest memories, they were always fighting.
That despicable bitch!
"Mikan Sakura…"
She felt herself go numb a little. The poison? But she had heard he had the voice pheromone Alice…
"Ugh…ghack!"
Mikan started coughing. The blood came out like there was no end.
She had to get out…otherwise…she wouldn't live for more than thirteen hours.
Back at the Academy…
Natsume felt a sharp pain in his chest.
What…
Mikan's face came into his mind.
Did…did something happen to her…?!
"Natsume…" Yumiko said, looking at him. She held onto his arm.
"Stay with me…I don't wanna be alone…"
Flashback
"I-I…I'm really not as strong everyone thinks I am…I-I've always been alone…"
"I DON' WANT TO BE ALONE ANYMORE!!" Mikan yelled, tears streaming down her face.
"I don't…"
End Flashback
His heart ached. Did he…miss her?
NO! Yumiko…was a lot like him. She understood him better than anyone…right?
Yet something about her…that made his heart scream, "NO! She's using you!!"
What… was wrong? But he was happy…(maybe…) so he shrugged the feeling off.
Back at the Warehouse…
Ugh…Teleportation took a lot of energy up…Mikan thought. She was sitting on the hard, cold floor of the warehouse. Reo stared at her, speaking into a microphone.
"Yes boss. No, not the black cat. Mikan Sakura. I believe she would be more of use to us…she's a multi-Alice user."
Pause.
"Yes…She's her daughter."
Mikan quietly took out an Alice Amplification pill and popped it in between her teeth. If it lasted fourteen seconds like last time, she would be able to make it back to the Academy without dying.
She felt power surge through her, and she closed her eyes.
"RETURN!"
"HEY!" Was the last thing she heard from Reo, screaming after her.

0!
She opened her eyes and looked around. Astonished faces of the teachers stared at her.
She sighed. Thank Kami-sama that she was able to escape…she honestly thought she wouldn't make it.
She tried to stand, but the bullet in her leg made pain spread through her.
"Ugh…"
"MIKAN!!" Narumi shouted, coming over to her.
"The Amulet…here…" Mikan held up the greenish blue item on a black string that she retrieved.
"Mikan….Hey! Mi—"
She heard Narumi's voice before everything became black.
XxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxX
"Hey, did you hear?!"
"I did, I did!"
"Mikan Sakura…she's having surgery right now, right?"
Hotaru's eyes widened.
"Mikan…was shot?!" She yelled.
She and Ruka were having lunch together. Well…HAD been having lunch together.
"Holy shit!" Ruka slammed on the table.
"My brother is probably healing her…" Hotaru said.
"You have a brother?!"
"Yeah. He has the Alice to heal and give pain to people…he's pretty good and medicine and stuff like that."
She put the lid on her bentou and said, "We're going. I can't just stand around and wait for my friend to die while I'm eating lunch."
Ruka nodded, as he closed his and followed her.
Somewhere else in the Academy…
Natsume and Yumiko were walking around, when something got his attention.
"Mikan-chan is getting surgery…" Anna was saying, tears rolling down her eyes.
"WWWHHHAAATTT?!?!??!?!??!" Nonoko screamed.
She's getting surgery?! Natsume thought.
"Apparently…she got shot by three bullets… " Anna continued.
That Persona…
4 hours later…
"IS SHE ALRIGHT?!" Hotaru yelled at her brother.
"IS MIKAN GOING TO LIVE?!" Ruka screamed.
"WAS IT A SUCCESS?!?!?!" Anna and Nonoko shouted in unison
Hotaru's brother sweat dropped.
"She's fine…very weak, though. I suppose you can go see her…Only Hotaru, though. She's the only person Sakura-san wants to see."
The rest nodded as Hotaru entered the room.
"Mikan!" She called.
"Hotaru…"
Mikan said weakly. She looked drained of energy and very pale.
"What happened...?!" Hotaru asked gently.
"I-I'll tell you next time…can I rest…I don't feel too great…"
Hotaru nodded as Mikan closed her eyes.
She left the room and closed the door.
"She's…she looks terrible…"
She looked at her brother.
"Thanks, Onii-chan."
He smiled, and left.
Hotaru looked furious. How could her friend be such a weak condition!! She was so strong…
She sighed.
"I'm going to get some of her clothes…"
As made her way to her friend's room, and opened the door. She had been given another pair of keys from Mikan.
A blue book caught her eye. A silver key lay next to it. As she inserted the key, it opened, and from a partly opened window, the wind blew it to a certain page.
Dear Diary,
This is the third mission I've been on this week. I've got so many injuries… and I can't believeI'm doing this for that Bastard.
Yet…even though he's chosen Yumiko…I feel like I need to protect him.
I don't like Yumiko. I think she's just using Natsume. I've tried telling him, but he either ignored me or Yumiko sends me away. Now all I can do is to protect him from other dangers…
I hope he's happy. I've already lost almost everything that's important to me…I shouldn't let them get any closer to me. They'll all…just end up…dead.
A wet spot was left. She must've been crying. This was her Diary…that why she was ignoring her and everyone else thing morning…it was for all of them…and HYUUGA!
That fucking bastard was going to get one hell of an angry Ice Princess tomorrow.
Done! Was it boring? Hopefully not. (I know, I've asked that in the last chapter or something.) Soo…yeah. Mikan was SHOT! And she had to have SURGERY! Hopefully I used the right term…
And…Review?
