Chapter 12
Persona POV
I was leaning against the sakura tree, waiting for Mikan to come home from her mission. when I suddenly heard a familiar voice shout, "Mikan!" his voice was filed with pain and agony.
'Kami-sama. Mikan!'
I ran towards the voice.
"No! No, no,no, NO!" I heard the voice continue shouting. By the last "no", I had arrived, only to see Natsume on his hands and knees.
I ran over to him and grabbed his shoulders. He was shaking.
"Natsume, what happened? What are you doing here? Wheres Mikan?!" I asked him franticly, unable to stop the worry in my tone.
"She's gone!" he choked out, "They took her...! It's-it's all my fault!"
My mind turned into catastrophe.
"What happened?! Explain. Hyuuga!" I shouted, shaking the teenager back and forth.
And so, he explained everything to me.
I released my hold on him, shocked.
"This is all your fault." I whispered in a horrified voice.
He said nothing. He just turned his head away and looked down with his bangs covering his eyes.
I punched him.
He flew back 6 feet and landed hard on his back, having not blocked the punch at all.
"This is all your fault!" I said again, this time shouting.
I looked at his fallen figure and for the first time noticed the dagger hanging off hid belt loop on his right hip. I walked over to him, and bending don, ripped the dagger away from him.
"You have no right to keep this." I said scathingly.
Natsume just looked up at me with dead eyes.

Natsume POV
Persona continued yelling at me and beating me up for about another 30 minutes, but I didn't attempt to stop it.
I deserved it.
I was bleeding and bruised and my entire body hurt like hell.
But finally I had to stop him. I caught the next punch he threw at me and looked up at him,
"I know you want to kill me, and you can later, but right now, this isn't helping to get Mikan back. We need to do something right now and save her before they kill her or do something worse. Start by explaining just who that organization is. From what I could tell, they seem to not only have strength, but numbers." My voice was surprisingly calm and much to my delight, did not falter or shake.
Persona dropped his arm in defeat and walked over to the sakura tree an sat down under it. I followed suit. I listened intently as he began speaking.
"They go by the name Kuro Aisu. Black Ice..."

Mikan POV
I had just woken up. My Alice made face was surprisingly still there, so I knew they didn't know my real identity.
I was sitting in a cold, dark, dirty guarded cell. There were spider webs everywhere and there was a slow drip in the corner. Just kidding! It was guarded, but it was actually a lot like my special star room back at GA. It had a big king sized bed (which I was laying on) and was carpeted. There was finely crafted wooden furniture and a bouquet of fresh red roses were set on the bedside table. There was no windows but there was a big sparkling crystal chandelier on the ceiling giving me my light.
The people of Kuro Aisu had for some unknown reason, dressed and treated my wound. They had healed it mostly but there was still a large red mark and it hurt. I knew that it would leave a permanent scar.
'I sure hope Natsume is safe.' I thought idly. 'Onii-sama is probably beating the crap out of him right now.' I grimaced at the thought.
I sat up and got off the bed. I walked to big double doors and opened it. Inside it were tons of nice clothes and a note. I yanked it off and read:
Hell's Angel:
We have taken your weapons and your clothes are ruined and blood stained. I suggest you make use of the bathroom we have provided you with and clean up. From there, change into these clothes and wait for further instruction.
I crushed the letter and threw it into the small trash can.
'They can't keep me here.' I thought with confidence. I then used my fire Alice to burn through the big wooden door that I assumed was the exit, but nothing came. I tried again and failed, and for the first time, noticed all of the extra things I was wearing.
They had added to the Alice control devices I was already wearing! Everything was silver. I had multiple rings on each of my fingers. My arms were covered in silver chains and bangles and there was a strange tattoo like thing that was on the upper portion of my arm. On closer inspection, it looked like a bracelet of black flames, dancing around my arm. An alice seal. I also had various anklets and a black choker and other necklaces. On each of my ears there were 4 piercings: 1 in the cartilage, 3 in the earlobe. It was a lot to wear, but it didn't look gaudy. I tried to take them off, but they wouldn't budge. I sighed.
'At least they won't rust.' I thought wryly. I walked over to the bathroom and open the door. Turning on the bath water, I began to undress. I took off the bandages and grimaced at the not yet healed sword wound.
I climbed into the steaming water and sighed with content.
-----------------
I climbed out of the bath water and dried off, after having been in for an hour. I turned to grab the brush which the luckily was there, when I saw something weird in the mirror. I spun around and almost screamed. There was a huge Alice seal covering my upper body! i turned to look at my back in the mirror. On my upper back were beautiful wings that looked like they belonged to an angel. But they were black. All around the wings were various designs that hugged my sides and wrapped around around me to my ribs. They faded away right before they could meet on each side in the front. I then noticed that there was also a seal on the top of my left shoulder. It was a simple black star.
'WHAT THE HELL?!' I screamed to myself.
No wonder i couldn't use my Alice's!
I groaned and after I had gotten over the shock, I went to the closet so I could change.
I ended up picking a simple black spaghetti strap shirt with a slightly low cut back that exposed all of the control devices on my arms and shoulders and the wings on my back, and a pair of shorts. I pulled on knee high black socks and kept bare foot.
I put my hair up in a high pony tail and tied it up with a black ribbon.
I walked over to the bed and picked up the note that had magically appeared there.
Knock on the door and tell them you are ready. They will escort you to the next place that you need to go. Don't get any ideas. These guys are not as weak as the ones you killed outside.
I sighed once again and did as the note said.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The door cracked open and revealed a large man who, I assumed, was my guard.
"I'm ready." I stated in a none to polite tone.
He just opened the door wider to let me pass through.
I walked through the door and began heading down the hallway, following the large man. We had gone two more steps when three more guards suddenly appeared at the right, left, and back sides.
'Damn.'
"So... where we going, Big Guy?" I asked the guard to the right of me.
The one in front answered the question instead of the right, and in a deep voice said, "To the master."
'Shit. Why me?' I smacked myself in the forehead, ignoring the curious stares of the guards.
About 3 minutes later, we stopped at a huge pair of wooden doors.
"We're here." the front one announced. He knocked on the wood.
"Come in." an ominous voice said. The front guard pushed the door open, and I walked into complete darkness.

I finished! Review!!!! ^_^
