Chapter 14 Sanity, Insanity, Sane, Insane

Mizu found herself, lying in a bed, holding onto something she didn't hold onto to, before she had fainted. She pushed herself off, and found a note, scrunched up in her hand. She sighed, as she looked around where she was. She found herself in the hospital, around midnight. The window as opened and she saw many cards and well, those get well soon things. She dared to open the piece of paper, sighing when she was incorrect.

Mizu,

You told them. Well, it was your choice. We've tracked the ESP. He's actually taken all of his clones out. We're going to attack, and it would be nice for you to join. Of course, because of Suzu, Naru and Mikan, I don't think you can. And I don't think he'll allow you to. Don't worry, I won't get myself killed.

I teleported this to your hand, by the way.

I wish Suzu and Mikan good luck for their exams.

Yuka.

"Total idiot." She muttered as she pushed herself up. She scowled at the note and then sighed, tears somewhat flowing from her eyes. Involuntarily.

"Why must you? Why must you send yourself to your own death?" She said, muffled, tears flowing faster down her eyes. And then she heard the door open behind her. She didn't dare turn around, the tears still falling from her eyes, dripping from her face, onto the note.

"Mizu?" She didn't respond as she shook and looked at the moonlight. The person walked up to her and forced her to turn around. She didn't look at the person right in the eye. She just let the tears slip from her eyes. Her mouth was dry, but there was only a few words that slipped out of her mouth before she… fell into a sea of tears, something that she would rarely do.

"Sister… idiot." And the piece of paper slipped out of her fingers.

Naru, who stood there, looking at the woman on the floor, picked up the note, which she feebly attempted to take away from him. He looked at it for a second, before holding the woman on the floor, silently cursing himself. She didn't notice who was holding onto her, so she teleported herself to a place where she knew Yuka would be.

Mizu just found herself where she wanted herself to be. She wiped away her tears and left the man, who she figured was Naru, after she saw the blonde head leaning on her back.

"Mizu, come back…" He said. She turned around.

"Sorry, but… I have personal matters."

"They concern me to-" Before he could argue, she placed a hand over his mouth.

"No, they don't. Go back, look after Suzu and Mikan. Look after them. I won't be back tomorrow." And she teleported him back to the school. She stood in a house. No, a mansion. A place she knew quite well. Actually, she had lived there once. She walked up to the house and saw the shadowy figure that stood there. The figure turned around to face her.

"You. Are. Going. To. Hell!" She shouted. The short figure laughed. But not for long. His laugh was cut short when there was a bright light next to her. And then he faced two people.

"Yuka! Come back to me!" He shouted, pleadingly. They both knew that she wouldn't. And they both knew he was faking it.

"No." She growled as she walked closer to him. He smirked and tried to use his Alice. Tried.

"What?" He squealed. Yuka looked at her curiously, and she just laughed. She took out a card. A card with a stone. A medium-ish sized Alice stone. Dark in colour. Nullification.

"Sorry, but I came prepared." And she held onto it, for almost dear life, as her Alice went out of control, which was her anger. At first, nothing happened. He laughed. And then you could hear something coming. Something like… Actually, almost exactly along the lines of:

"WHAT THE HELL!?! HOW THE HECK IS YOUR ALICE LIKE THIS?!?!" She laughed, as she watched him suffer. Not to sound like a sadist, but it was something that she felt was 'appropriate' at the time.

"I'm sorry, but, really, your Alice is no use." And she took one last Alice stone. It was possibly the darkest of all. And it was possibly the biggest. She flipped it around, as she saw him flail around in a vortex of water, which wouldn't let him go, as it rained and a tsunami (mini, but with the same amount of devastating damage as the real one can be) came, every now and then. And then a figure appeared. A figure who wore a mask. A cat mask. A black cat mask. Wearing the Academy's uniform. Mizu already knew who this was.

"Natsume!" She shouted. The person looked at her, surprised. He jumped to her, landing right behind her.

"What?" He whispered harshly. Mizu was about to reply back, but she forgot and encircled herself into the world of the pain suffering ESP. So Yuka responded.

"Go back to the Academy. Go back and protect the students. There could possibly be another attack. And protect Mikan and Suzu too. They'll be targeted." Yuka whispered. He nodded and almost jumped back. But he stopped, listening to the words she had added.

"And you are soo much like your mother, cold hearted on the outside, warm in the inside." Yuka added before he really did go. Mizu didn't hear, as she was too much into cursing the ESP. It was then Yuka decided she had to stop venting all of her anger to the ESP. She had to take him back, alive. Dead was almost no use.

"Mizu. That's enough. I'll place an Alice preventing sticker and take him to headquarters." And she left, taking the unconscious and possibly hypothermia sufferer and suffering from a concussion ESP. She sighed and teleported back, holding that Alice stone, still, for dear life.

Naru found himself in the same room he found Mizu. He looked around and not long later, found Natsume in that same room. He was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling. It took him a while to notice that he was even in the room.

"What are you doing here, Naru?" He asked, when he finally noticed. Naru flinched and didn't say anything.

"I saw the Azumi's not long ago. Here, I took this from Suzu's room." And he passed him her diary. He looked at it, quite shocked.

"It had your name on a note, pleading you to take it. Really, don't ask why. I just passed by her room and saw it there, so yeah, I took it." Was all he said, before walking out. Naru smiled, and thought something along the lines of 'Mikan softened him up'. And then he just looked at it, before opening it and all of her pictures falling out. They were all pictures of her when she was about two and varied to about the age of eight. One of them was a picture which had sound… well, was a video, basically. And it activated.

"Mummy? Who was my daddy?" He could hear. He picked up the… picture and watched it immediately. He saw a young Suzu, long curly brown locks swaying in the wind, sitting next to Mizu, on what looked like a hill. She wore a purple and pink summer dress, as the breeze flowed through her hair, which wasn't tied, strangely.

"Your father was… a kind generous person. Though, when I first met him, he was an ignorant and arrogant naughty boy. Though, his behaviour grew upon on me and now… I care for him, no matter what." Was all she said, her brown eyes glistening facing the town in front of them. Suzu turned around to face her, her hair spilling onto her face.

"When will I meet him?" She asked, almost immediately after she turned around.

"When you're older." And that's when the video ended. He stared at it and placed it in his pocket, ripping a spare page from her diary and writing a note.

"Sorry, Mizu." Was all he said, as he crept to the double star dorms. Why did he? Yet again, don't ask.

Mizu stood in her daughter's room, watching her peacefully as she slept. Standing right beside her was Yuka, who had teleported herself back, to help. She watched her, so she could watch her sister calm down. She smiled and patted her back.

"Good job. We won't be worrying about the ESP for a while." She chuckled silently.

"Well, he threatens Suzu or Mikan, he's dead as… well, him under Persona's Alice." She said. Yuka laughed slightly too. That word brought her somewhat bad memories, though she pushed it from her brain.

"You are going to see Mikan now?" She muttered. Yuka froze on the spot.

"Yes. I haven't seen her since, yeah." She said, hesitantly, avoiding them bad memories.

"I'm sorry, Yuka. I only coincidently met her here, since Kazu told me she enrolled recently. I just wanted to see it for myself." And the two walked out, bumping into the one person they didn't want to see. Both.

"Yuka, Mizu." Mizu sighed as she apologised, in a low voice, only loud enough for Yuka to hear. He stood there, watching her as she… had her revenge. As they say, revenge is sweet.

She kissed him on the forehead. Even though she didn't have pheromones, the fact she was bold enough to do it, meant that he was dead surprised. Yuka laughed softly, as he fainted.

"Sorry, Naru." They both said, as they walked towards the single star dorms.

The two stood in Mikan's room, watching her sleep. Mizu sighed as she did something she didn't want to do. She walked up to the girl and nudged her awake.

"Aunty.,.?" She mumbled as she pushed herself up. Yuka looked at her strange. Actually, they looked at each other shocked, and strange.

"Yes, Mikan?" She replied as the girl rubbed her eyes.

"Who is she?" She asked, pointing to Yuka. She smiled.

"Mikan, meet your mother." She her eyes opened quite wide, instantly. She popped of her bed and walked up to the figure who looked like her.

"M-mother?" She stammered. Yuka flinched slightly at the title and looked down. She patted the girls head.

"You two can have your reunion. I'm going to check on Naru." Mizu said, walking out of the room, leaving mother and daughter alone.

Naru awoke to find himself on the floor of a corridor, a figure walking up to him. He got up and was prepared to use his pheromone Alice when he got, literally, washed away. He got up soaking wet, when he found himself facing the one that he actually wanted to see for answers.

"Mizu, nice to see you again." He said, coming out rather bitterly. Mizu looked at him, right in the eye. She didn't say anything before falling, the Alice stone, that she still held onto falling out of her palm, faceplanting onto the timber floor.

"Naru, I-" And she truly blacked out. Falling right next to his standing figure, gone.

It was the next day. Everyone was surprised that Mikan was extremely happy, and she didn't tell a soul why. Not even Hotaru. Though she already knew that Yuka visited her, since her invention recorded the whole moment, basically. Natsume was too confused at Mikan's mothers words, about his mother. Though, majority of the people were surprised to find both their teachers in the hospital. Mizu was just plain exhausted and Naru because… of… well… many reasons, we'll just leave it at that.

"Attention all students. This is the HSP speaking. Due to an incident, the exams will be pushed back a few days." And you would probably literally hear all of the shouts of the students who were fired up, riled, thrilled and cheering, thanking whoever helped postpone their exams.

"Have you seen Mizu yet?" Mikan asked Hotaru. She shook her head.

"I haven't seen her, since, well, every time I go, she's still passed out." She replied back to her.

"How's Mr. Naru?" She asked. Hotaru replied again.

"I heard from Mr. Jinno that he was passed out, though I went there once and he was wide awake. I think he's up by now." Hotaru said, sceptically. Though, knowing Mikan, she's too thick-headed for her own good some times.

"So, who's writing our grammar (Japanese if you want to call it that) exam?" Mikan asked basically, nothing.

"Who knows? I get this feeling Narumi's already written it."

"And I think that he'll go all out." Mikan said back, as the two girls laughed, while watching the substitute teacher panic.

Me: Too tired...

Mikan: Why?

Me: I sleep at 1am in the morning now, since I write little bits of a story.

Mikan: Right.

Me: Anyways, when did you become my psychiatrist?

Mikan: I dunno.

Yuka: She doesn't own GA and definitely not my daughter. Though she owns my cousin. And my sister. Reviews?

Me: Yuka, you forgot the 'please'.

Yuka: Please?
