Sorry I haven't gotten to updating my story for like ever…since practically everyone wanted me to continue the story here we go :D
Mikan: 14
Hotaru: 14
Ruka: 15
Natsume: 15
Most of the characters of the same gender are the same age
I watched Natsume in amazement as he slowly took out one guy at a time. There were flames coming from every direction but they never came close enough to burn me. One of the men had a multiplying alice so he just kept coming. I had a feeling that Natsume was going to need some help.
Just as I started ripping at the ropes that kept me from getting involved in the fight somebody else busted into the store wall. I was glad to see Ruka with all his furry (and yet so fierce) friends. Next to him was Hotaru with that same cold look in her eyes.
The next think I knew Hotaru grabbed out a bunch of her inventions and started using them against the Outsiders. Meanwhile Ruka and his animals went in for the attack. His bunny that he always carried around came up to me and bit through the ropes so I was able to help nullify the attacks and help create an opening. A man grabbed me from behind and then suddenly let go of me. I spun around to find him swatting at something that wasn't really there.
Out of my peripheral vision I saw Yuu standing in the corner with quite the scary smirk playing on his lips. After he was finished with the man he rushed over to me.
"Koko and the others when back to the school so they could tell the teachers about what was going on." I nodded and we both got back into the battle.
I wasn't sure how long it took for the teachers to arrive but by the time they came we were all exhausted and the Outsiders had either been defeated or ran away. Most of them retreated but two of them were out cold on the floor. I was so tired that when the teachers got there I started to fall. I saw the floor quickly racing up to me and braced myself for the pain that was about to come. I was surprised to find myself hanging just above the ground. I looked up and yet again stared into those cold amber eyes. Except this time we both had a small smile hanging on the corners of our mouths.
The next thing I knew I woke up staring at a white tiled ceiling. I looked around and found out that I was in the school infirmary; the next thing I looked at was the sleeping face of Narumi.
"Narumi-Sensei, wake up."
"Huh, what? Oh Mikan-Chan! You're finally awake." He said while running over and giving me a huge hug.
"Where's Natsume?"
"He checked out of the infirmary yesterday, there wasn't much we could do to keep him in here. He's such a stubborn boy you know. But, when he thinks I'm sleeping I sometimes see him poke his head in the doorway and make sure you're okay." He said with a small smirk tugging at his lips.
After I convinced Narumi that I was okay, he let me change into my uniform and check out after the doctor said I was fine to go. The whole process took what seemed to be forever and I was glad I would finally be able to see all my friends and just get back to my room to relax. I had no idea where they would be so I decided to just check the cafeteria, knowing that would be the first place I would go. And sure enough there they all were, sitting at our usually table.
"Mikan-Chan! Its so good to see you up and about." Yuu said rushing over to me with the others following close behind.
I received a gentle hug from each of my friends, even Hotaru surprised everybody by grabbing me into a tight embrace.
"You idiot, don't ever do that again." She whispered in my ear.
I pulled back and nodded letting her know that I don't plan on getting kidnapped again. We all sat back down and talked for a while, I knew that they weren't asking me any questions about the whole fight that went down on purpose and I was glad for that. The last thing I want to do is talk about one of the most horrifying moments of my life when I first wake up.
"I think I'm going to go back to my room, I'm still pretty out of it."
Just as I was about to walk away Ruka called me, "Mikan wait." He said running up to me. While giving me a big hug he whispered in my ear, "I'm so sorry for not being there to protect you."
"Ruka its okay, nobody could have know what was going on."
"Natsume knew." And with that he walked back to the table.
Not knowing what he meant by that I gave everybody one last weak smile before I left. Walking back to my room gave me a lot of time to think about what Ruka had said about not being there for me. It almost seemed as though he was jealous of Natsume for being able to save me. Truthfully I hadn't really given much thought as to how he knew I was there. I was just glad to see a friendly face there to save me and didn't really care who it was at the time. Once I got back to the room I opened the door and sighed against it when it was closed.
"Home sweet home." I said smiling with relief. "Natsume are you here?"
Nobody answered and the thought that I was here alone bothered me a bit. The last thing I wanted after being attacked like that is to be alone. I decided to just go and take a shower and hope that he was here when I got out.
Once I was finished showering I got dressed and walked out to the living room. It had gotten dark since I first got here and I forgot to put the lights on so it was pitch dark in the room. I walked over to where the light switch would be but before I could get them on the door opened and left a dark silhouette standing in the doorway. I screamed and immediately sank to the floor hugging my knees with silent tears flowing down me cheeks.
"Oi, what are you screaming about polka-dot?" Natsume said flicking on the lights.
"Huh? Oh its you Natsume, uhmm I just saw a spider that's all." I said wiping away a few tears.
He didn't really look like he believed me but let the subject drop anyways. We both sat in the living room watching TV and not saying much for a few hours. It was dark in the room and the shadows that the TV was making kept freaking me out so I decided to go to bed.
"Natsume would you mind watching TV in your room, I'm a little tired and I think I'm going to hit the hey."
Natsume just kind of grunted and walked away into his room. I fell asleep pretty fast, only to be woken up by a huge crack of thunder. I gasped and shot up from the couch only to see a flash of lighting followed by another large boom. I tried to lay back down and shut my eyes but I was too scared.
"Thunder and Lightning aren't so frightening, Thunder and Lightning aren't so frightening." I whispered to myself over and over.
I was calming myself down a bit until another huge roar of thunder sounded again. I whimpered a little bit and did the only thing I could think of to calm myself down. I got up and walked down the hallway, made a right turn into a room and found myself standing beside Natsume's bed with a lone tear running down my face.
"Na-Natsume." I said shaking him a bit.
He surprised me by sitting straight up and lighting a ball of fire in his hand. I gasped and jumped back a little. Once he realized it was me the flame immediately went out.
"What do you want baka?"
When I didn't reply he was about to ask again when a tear fell and landed on his forehead. With out another word he slid over in his bed and opened the covers signaling me to crawl in. I instantly climbed in and lay on my side with my head against his chest. At the sound of another boom of thunder I slightly jumped. He shifted so he was also on his side and we were facing each other. Natsume put his arms around me and it was like all my fears melted away. The next thing I knew we had fallen asleep in that exact position.
