Chapter 14: Perfect Moments
She fit herself into the whole, good thing she's been on a diet or else, she will surely die. Narumi and Persona noticed that she's hiding…
"COME OUT THERE!!!" shouted Persona and touches the tree turning it to ashes, revealing Mikan again…
"Persona! Don't interfere!!! Let her do her own move!!!" Shouted Narumi…
"Hn. Okay…. YAYOI ATTACK!!!" shouted Persona again…
Smaller ice daggers started to approach Mikan, luckily Mikan control her barrier Alice and make another one but weaker, she just partially protected herself...
Hmmm… what's her weakness…? Mikan thought but an ice dagger wounded her left arm…
"Are you alright Sakura-san" ask Yayoi worried on her opponent's condition
"NO AFFECTIONS!!!" Persona shouted again, making Yayoi attack again but worry is pasted on her face, Mikan notice it and notice that the attacks are slower…
"OUCH!!! That really hurts!!!" shouted Mikan in 'pain' as another dagger wounded her left hand.
"Sakura!!!" shouted Narumi and started to walk towards Mikan but Persona stop, giving him a deadly glare.
Yayoi runs towards Mikan and saw that her left arm and hand are wounded, blood dripping from it she then reach her hand but…
"GOTCHA!!!" said Mikan and pin her down….
"It's a fake!! Good thinking Sakura-san, now you defeated her!!!" said Narumi and applauded Mikan for such a great job, Persona just give her a small smile…
"Never thought you could do those stunts…" said Persona, as he and Narumi jump down to Mikan…
"Me too… I'm not sure how I do that… maybe because of ojii-san and Hotaru" said Mikan scratching the back of her head
"Oh… yeah… You've been climbing mountains, crossing rivers…" said Narumi
"And what about Imai?" ask Persona
"Well, you see, every time I'm late, she will shoot me with her baka gun and I'll try to dodge every shot until I'm exhausted, when she can hit me finally…." Replied Mikan
"Baka Gun…" Yayoi said curiously thinking what Mikan mean…
"Well… embarrassing as it may seem… it's the kind of gun she made… just for me… he he he he he…" said Mikan while blushing, ashamed on the truth
"Okay then, lets put bandages for your wounds…" said Narumi and started to look surprise…
"Narumi-sensei, is there something wrong?" ask Mikan and she look onto her hand and arms which was wounded earlier
"Your wounds… It's all gone… how this could be?" said Narumi as he tries to comprehend Mikan's wounds though blood is still visible on her uniform…
"Hn… maybe... she just has…" said Persona also looking surprise...
Good thing she have that Alice, that we wouldn't be so worried when she goes out into missions… thought Narumi
"Looks like I have nothing to worry now… so, see ya later!!!" said Narumi and started to walk away still in deep thoughts on what happened to Mikan
"Wait Narumi-sense!! How about the others? You know… the others you're saying that I must defeat…" ask Mikan
"She's the only one… enough for your training… and you'll be training wither the first month!" Said Narumi and Mikan's jaw dropped.
"How could you do that? Throwing knives, blades, and shooting bullets at me all the same time!!!" said Mikan in awe...
"Well, I have too... and thanks to Hyuuga-san!!!" said Yayoi
"Natsume…" said Mikan looking seriously staring at the floor...
"After one hour and thirty minutes… goes to the library… try to read some books… remember you have to be a top star student likes Kuro Neko…" said Persona
"Why would I have to be a top star student?" said Mikan and started putting her lips, well, it's so impossible for her to be like one…. Especially for a chicken head…
"So you've forgotten it already ha? You have to use your brain very more often especially when you're out in missions…" said Persona and give another sigh, he know how dense Mikan is…
"Okay… I'll try my best…and Persona-sensei, when will I start to go to missions???" asked Mikan, looking excited rather than annoyed of having one…
"Tonight. Together with her…" said Persona and started to walk away…
"Oh… okay!!!" said Mikan and a smile beams from her face.
"Okay…so… let's see… you have to rest now Sakura-san…" said Yayoi still worried seeing sweat drips from Mikan's face… signifies exhaustion…
"No. I'm alright, let's go to Central Town!!! I have so many things in mind to buy…" said Mikan flashing Yayoi another smile and making an 8im-okay-don't-worry look.
"Do you really want to? You see, you really have to rest… Persona-sensei will surely be angry if he saw you still exhausted before going to missions tonight… so Sakura-san, better rest." said Yayoi
"Do I really have to…? (stomach growled)... Oh. Just go with me, and I'll treat you for lunch!!!" said Mikan and she hear another stomach growled too, well, its Yayoi's…
"Guess I have to go with you now…" said Yayoi.
"Uhmmm… Yayoi-san, well, I don't want to sweat going to Central Town… so…" said Mikan and a plead Yayoi to call somebody…
"Oh… yeah… Kano-kun…" said Yayoi and telepathically called Kano… and in an instant.. he's already there…
"OHIO!!!" said Kano as he flash a beaming smile to the gals.
"Okay! So let's go now Sakura-san!!" said Yayoi and hold his brother hand and Mikan do the same… and they teleported…

He breaks the kiss and stares at her face once more… He caresses her face, the face that he cursed before, the face that he now loves the most. He realize why he runs after her, it is not because of her blackmailing but to be alone with her, not to grab his pictu4res back but to touch her soft hands as well. The weirdest realization he ever has when he's with her… The ice queen being his girlfriend…
She did not know why she love the feeling, of having his lips touch hers… she don't want to struggle so that she will be kissed, and still confused why she did that… she knows his lips are just… irresistible, and yes, it's her first, now she realized… she loves him… she knew that those feelings just develop… because… of her black mailings… And by this closeness… she now realized.. that here... in his arms… where she belongs…
"Gomen… Hotaru…" said Ruka blushing… well, thinking that she did not like the way he acted…
"For what?" ask Hotaru coldly, though her face still shows signs of blushing…
"Because…" continued Ruka, he doesn't know how to say it…
"It's nothing…" said Hotaru and stare at him again. She could not say anything more, well, she just like being kissed by him…
"You're not mad?" ask Ruka still feeling guilty…
"I would be an idiot if I will not say this now…" said Hotaru and stares at the floor
"What?" ask Ruka and saw her blushing more…
"My black mailings… are just cover-ups… though… I really need money…" said Hotaru and started to blush more
"Cover up? For what?" ask Ruka, looking confused and curious on what Hotaru's saying…
"You're such a baka… playing innocent… those are just cover-ups so you won't notice… that… I like… er… love… you." Said Hotaru coldly and her face started to redden more…
"Same to me…" said Ruka as he reveals what he really feels…
"Why do you like me?" ask Hotaru…
"Because you're real…"
"What do you mean?" said Hotaru plainly
"You're just the only one who can see the real me… People feast on my pictures because they like me and that's it. But you, though quiet, but always there… beside me…" said Ruka and then
RING!!! RING!!!
It's Ruka's phone
(conv. on phone)
"Hello?" answered Ruka
"Oi! Ruka! It's Mochu, Natsume, he's very sick!"
"What?! Did you give him his medicine?"
"Hai! But he is still in pain…"
"Where are you now?"
"Here in his room!"
"Okay, I'm coming…"
(end of conv.)
"Nani?!" ask Hotaru
"Natsume, he's sick…" said Ruka worried on his best friend's condition
"I'll call the baka…" said Hotaru and dialed Mikan's number…
(phone conv.)
"Oi! Mikan… your boyfriend!"
"What! I don't have any boyfriend!!!"
"Yeah right! Natsume… he needs you!"
"Why would he?"
"He's sick baka! Go to his room now, if you don't want to lose him!!!"
"Okay, I'll go there then!!"
(end of conv.)
"Oh so here it is…" said Hotaru as her all new flying duck scooter appeared from nowhere, and then she hop on…
"Is that fast enough?" ask Ruka
"Don't underestimate my alice… hop on now or else I'll leave you here."
"Hai."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Oh Kami! Natsume… he's sick.. How could I go there quickly???" said Mikan as her tears started to fall like waterfalls
"Don't worry Sakura-san, I'll help you!!!" said Kano and hold Yayoi's and Mikan's hands and teleported to Natsume's room…
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Natsume's room…
"How's he?" ask Ruka and then he saw Natsume who really looks so ill..
"He's getting worse Ruka…" said Koko and look away, he can't accept that a friend of would die that early, since he also knows what type Natsume's alice is…
"Natsume!" shouted Mikan and run to him…
Natsume tried to talk but no words, no sounds come out from his mouth…
"ssshhh.. Natsume…don't talk… conserve your strength…"said Mikan and her tears continue to fall…
"Let's see what I can do…" said Kano and he walks towards Natsume
"Excuse me Sakura-san. Yayoi! Come here!" ordered Kano to his sister.
"Hai!" as Yayoi started to stare at Natsume…
"Mikan… who are they?" ask Ruka..
"Oh! They are Kano and Yayoi Sato…" said Mikan and stare at Natsume again
"What's the result?" ask Kano to Yayoi
"He's really weak… if this continues he'll die!" said Yayoi and started to cry…
"Okay, then I'll try my best…" said Kano and started to lay hands on Natsume
"What did you just do?" ask Mikan
"Well, I and my brother are Multi-alices… I have the ice, telepathy, and an alice that can see the inside of a body and determine whether his healthy or not. Kano-kun, have the teleportation, metal and the healing alice, that's why the academy classified us Dangerous ability…" said Yayoi…
"Will he be alright? I mean can he cure him?" ask Mikan in a serious tone…
"Let's just hope so…" said Yayoi
"What?! You mean you're not sure! What if he die?!" shouted Ruka to Yayoi, making her to burst into tears more...
"Calm down! You're not helping!" said Hotaru and hold Ruka's hand. The place is still full of tension as Natsume started to cry in pain.
Mikan hold Natsume's hand tighter. She feel the guilt of being the daughter of AAO's founder. She won't accept if Natsume died, nor forgive herself at all…
" Natsume… please… hold on… don't leave me… remember… you're my partner?" whispered Mikan to him.
Natsume started to cry in pain again while Kano still continue on trying to heal Natsume…
"I'll help you…" said Mikan and lay hands upon Natsume and a bright white light blinded everyone on the room..
"What was that?!" ask Koko as he rubs his eye almost blinded by the white light…
"You have another alice?" shockingly said Ruka…
"What happened?" said Natsume and saw Mikan holding his hand…
"Natsume!!!" shouted Mikan and hug Natsume…
"Get off me Polka!!!" said Natsume teasingly, Mikan upon hearing him, she walks away…
"Damn you Natsume!!! If that baka youjo of yours started to cry, I'm gonna kill you!" shouted Hotaru and points her newly improved baka gun…
"Why? What's the problem Imai! Don't act like she save me!" said Natsume making Mikan to burst into tears again…
"She did save you!" said Ruka making Natsume look stunned
"Gomenasai…" said Natsume and look at Mikan who looks so serious…
"That's alright Natsume, it's my fault anyway, to hug you like that…" said Mikan seriously wiping off her tears again..
Looks like we must go now… said Yayoi telepathically to the others… and they started to go out from the room trying their best not to be notice by them…
"Mikan…" started Natsume still ashame because of what he says to her…
"What…" said Mikan more seriously…
"I'm sorry…" repeated Natsume…
"Hn."
"Oi! Why aren't you talking now? I told you I'm sorry… now talk!" shouted Natsume, he can't help himself since he can't stand the feeling ignored especially by her…
"You will not listen to me anyway…" said Mikan monotonously
"and why did you just say that?" ask Natsume teasingly…
"I told you before… don't overuse your alice… I thought that you studied martial arts just to use it as your last resort, but still… you just continue on overusing it…" said Mikan and started to cry again…
"Why are you so concerned? I already pushing you away, but you still keep coming closer… why Mikan, why?" said Natsume, he really wants to know why…
"So you really don't understand… I just wanted three words… just three words that I want to hear from you…" said Mikan and sadness reveals from her voice…
"Hn."
"Besides Hotaru… you're the closest to me Natsume… closest to my heart… that's why I want you to be by my side… always… but you… you just push me so hard… but I never give up on you… I don't want you to be left alone in the darkness… I did those things just for you Natsume… but it seems you don't care… that's why I just thought… if my love never loves me back… then… I can't love anybody…" said Mikan trying her best to speak clearly…
"So, you love me…" said Natsume and stand up and walk towards her…
"Hai. But someone like you… will never love me back…" said Mikan and then she felt him hugging her…
"Who said so…" whispered Natsume and walks in front of her…
"because.. that's what I see and that's what I feel…" said Mikan and blush when she saw Natsume in front of her too close…
"I love you Baka! Finishing my missions quick is the best and only way to see you again…" said Natsume and started to caress her face…
"so it's my fault to see you die early then ha?" said Mikan feeling guiltier…
"It's not like that… Your presence heals my wounds… inside and out…" said Natsume and kissed her… lip locks… a kiss full of love…
Unknown to them, six people were watching… peeking from the slightly open door…
"How sweet…" said Yayoi as she stare at the two lovebirds kissing passionately…
"I think we better go now, before he sees us.. ore else… we will be burned alive!!!" said Koko and everybody except Kano and Yayoi started to walk away, since they are assigned by Narumi and Persona as her well.. sort of… bodyguards…

On enemy's grounds…
The room is dim lighted, a large throne-like chair is positioned in the center, someone was sitting there, a certain brunette with auburn orbs is talking with somebody kneeling in front of her…
"Is he still alive?" ask the brunette
"We still don't have any news about him Keiko-sama, but I'm sure you hit him good…" said the man with violet eyes and raven hair…
"The new alices… how are they Mouri? Ask Keiko again
"They're alright, still under illusion of having a good family here with us…" said Reo
"Hn. How about the nullifier, how is she?" ask Keiko
"Oh. Never thought that you'll be asking that to me after four years of her discovery… what do you call that… maternal connections?" said Reo teasingly
"I'm asking you a question!!! Answer me! Shouted Keiko and ordered a man with blonde long hair something, then Reo started to cry in pain as an electric shock hit him….
"Okay… I'll tell you! She's alright! I never seen her again after that incident, but I've heard that she's pretty good on using her alice…" said Reo
"Does she have other alices?" ask Keiko curiously…
"We still don't have any infos about that…" replied Reo
"Why does updates are too slow!!! Are you working on it!!!" shouted Keiko irritated on the guy in front of him…
"Why wonder? You killed them all!!!" shouted Reo back and another electric shock hit him again…
"Tsk. I have another mission for you Mouri…" said Keiko
"What is it?" said Reo sounding tired..
"Kill her." Ordered Keiko
"Who?" said Reo as thoughts of the young nullifier appeared on his mind…
"The girl, the nullifier.
"What! But she's…" said Reo shocked on what he's been hearing
"No buts! Just do it!" shouted Keiko as another electric shock hit Reo
"I won't do it!" shouted Reo back and stand up.
"YES YOU WILL!!!" shouted Keiko and signal something to a pink-haired woman, and Reo started to cry in pain and felt a severe headache.
Reo can't say anything anymore, he feels the pain but he knows he feel more pain once he disobey her. He knows his life depends on Keiko's situation.. he'll do it or else… he'll die just like his other comrades…
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I love you." Said Mikan again as she breaks their kiss
"so where have you been?" ask Natsume curiously and then something caught his eye
"From the hospital…" said Mikan, well, for four years, she's getting better on lying
"Then what's this…blood?" said Natsume and stare at her deadly
