Chapter 11

'Reo...' Mikan thought and cringed at the name. He was the last person she wanted to see. As if the situation wasn't already worse. Nobara and Natsume fainted. It was only her and Reo now, no one can help her. She has butterflies in her stomach. She had no clue what to do.

"Kuro Neko and the Nullification User," Reo said. A grin plastered his face. "Just like last time eh? And even a newer Alice user with you!"

Mikan gritted her teeth. She needs to plan out how to escape this cell with the out-cold Nobara and Natsume with her. No plan came across her mind. Reo smirked. He step a little closer to the three and was stop on the last step by a small fire emitting from the ground.

"Get away," Natsume panted, every breath he took hurt his heart. "Don't step any closer!"

Reo was amazed as always, shocked that Natsume had the energy to create a fireball despite his poor condition. Natsume's actions always amaze Reo. It makes him want to capture him and force him to join the AAO even more.

"Natsume!" Mikan cried. She tried to hold back Natsume who looked like he was gonna fight Reo because he slowly regained his position standing. "You can't! You don't have enough energy!"

"Who said I was going to fight this bastard?" Natsume smirked. He held up one hand, a fireball was created. "He isn't even worth one second of my damn time!" He threw the fireball near Reo, causing a firewall to emit around him and his friends who came to help him overpower Natsume.

"GO!" Natsume shouted to Mikan without turning around to see her. "Take your friend with you; I will meet you down the corridor! Quickly!"

"But--" Mikan retorted but was cut off by Natsume's glare.

"GO!"

Mikan took Nobara with her, putting her on her back as if she was giving her a piggy rider and dashed off towards the door. Before she left the room completely, she stopped to take a brief air and turned towards Natsume with a weak smile. "You better come back pervert, don't do the same actions you did like last time when we were kidnapped," She then returned running away from the scene, hoping to find help as soon as possible.

Natsume gave a small smirk when he heard what the brunette said. He surely can't promise her that but he might as well give a try. He lowered his head making his bangs cover his eyes.

FLASHBACK

"Natsume!" a brunette girl called and smiled towards the raven-haired boy. She was all he had in his life, apart from his family and his best friend. He was shock of the impact of the brunette's hug that he fell to the grass.

"Oi! Don't be such a klutz!" he scolded. The brunette just replied with a grin. Seeing her smile and being happy made Natsume's day. All he wanted to see is the person he cares about being happy. He's happy for that and for the fact that he caused her to be such an optimistic girl then before when he first met her.

"Don't be silly Natsume-kun!" the brunette giggled. "I've seen you acting like a klutz too!" Natsume blushed like mad. He then tackled her to the grass and they wrestled for a few minutes which actually turned into hours. The sun began to descend and beautiful shades of orange and red emitted from the sun. The two children stopped wrestling and gazed at the sunset.

"It's so beautiful neh Natsume?" the brunette asked. "Neh Natsume, let's promise each other that if one of us choose a path, the other follows!"

"Eh?" Natsume answered. "What kind of promise is that?" He got a reply from the brunette when her elbow and his stomach came in contact. "Hey!"

"Promise?" the girl held up her pinky. Natsume and her always seal a promise with a pinky swear, no matter how stupid the promise is. Natsume smirked and held up his pinky, sealing the promise.

"Promise." they both said.

End of FLASHBACK

"Promise," Natsume whispered to himself. "I'm not going to break the promise, especially if it's with you,"

Flames began to circle around him looking like they were crying out for revenge. And they were.

"NEVER GO NEAR MY FRIENDS AGAIN!" he shouted with rage. Fire emitted from his body, light shining everywhere. He made sure he won't go too far and blow up the place considering he didn't want to hurt Mikan and Nobara. "I'll NEVER forgive you if you touch them!"

Mikan panted. She was obviously lost around the corridor. Natsume told her to wait around here but she didn't know where 'here' was in the corridor so she paused to catch her breath. She looks towards Nobara who was sweating like crazy and her expression looks like she is having a nightmare.

"Nobara-chan..." Mikan whispered worriedly. She didn't know what to do again. Feeling weak and alone is not what Mikan is used to but she feels like she felt this way before.

BOOM!

'What was that!?' Mikan thought. 'Natsume!? Are you okay!?' She knew leaving Nobara here to check on Natsume will be stupid for her to do. Plus, she has no idea which path to take. 'Please be alright!'

"Mikan," a voice called out to her.

Mikan stiffened. She wants to get out of this place with Nobara and Natsume safely and quickly. There are no ways to get out of this place. Mikan felt terrified and alone, despite Nobara was there with her. (unconscious)


A/N: What do you think? :3 That's what I came up with on my mind. I'll be using Reo and Ruka because I personally like it better then Luca and Leo if you don't mind. I hope you like it and would stay tune. The next chapter will have a bonus story so stay and read it when I update the story next week! ;) (Hopefully THIS time)
