Chapter 21: Instinct
Mikan's P.O.V.
I woke up to the alarm buzzing. I glanced over at the clock and saw the time 3:15 a.m. I groaned and shut the alarm off. I dragged myself off the bed and got up and just stared at the closet door for a few seconds. I got up a walked over to where i put my clothes and threw it over me. I walked over to the vanity and picked up the box that had all my mission things. I help up the earring and dangled it in front of me. I tilted my head to admire the detail in the flower that i never paid attention to, the paint is so nice and the details are so perfect.. i wonder who.. I shook my head. I must be a little crazy at 3 in the morning. I plopped the earring into it's place and pulled out the ring (a/n: i kind of forgot what she has to wear..) I pulled out the hairpiece and looked at it, i wonder if there was any other way to style it.. I smiled put it on my necklace. It looked weird, but stylish.. i guess. I slipped the ring onto my finger and put the mask in my jacket pocket. I picked up the bag, my swords and snapped my fingers and the little bag went poof. I'll pull it out later when i need it. You know, sometimes i wonder where it goes when i put it away.. Well, no need to overwork my brain so early in the morning! I looked in the mirror, I had my black hair, black tank-top, black t-shirt, black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and black tennis shoes. Wow, that's a LOT of black clothing today. I put my hands in the pockets of my black Northface jacket (idk, it's how i imagined it). I did a double glance and used my transportation alice. I ended up on the top of a tree near the gate.
"Oi" a voice said. I looked down to see Natsume who was leaning against the tree.
"What" I said
"When'd you get there?" he asked
"You're pretty stupid if you didn't notice" I said to him.
"Tch" He sneered at looked away. I smirked and jumped down from the branch.
"So" I said
"So, what?" he said
"Where's that other girl?" I asked
"How should i know?" he growled
"Oh, well sorry" I held my hands in front of me to exaggerate it. He glared at me and i glared back. It had turned into a silent glaring competition. As in when you see those lightning bolts between two peoples eyes.
"GOMEN!!" Yuki screamed, running over to us. We were still engaged in our glaring contest.
"Eto..." Yuki said waving her hand between us, breaking the lightning bolt passing through. We turned around and glared at her. She sweat-dropped and held her hands up to herself protectively. We went back to our glaring contest.
"So, you're all here" Persona said, appearing out of nowhere like always.
"I will now get into the details of the mission then" He said looking at me and natsume, we had just ended our glaring contest.
"Now, here are 6 train tickets, 2 each, there and back. You will be going to the AAO headquarters. You are to slip into the building, locate the nearest computer that is connected to their network. It is required for you to hack it, and get their member info, and put it onto this flashdrive. It is very important for you to make it out alive. This is a very very dangerous mission, you are risking your lives on this mission. And remember, if you get caught and captured, and you have no other options, you will kill yourselves. You will not join them and become a traitor. Understood?" Persona said
"Any blueprints? Or the password?" Natsume asked him
"There is this one blueprint. but it is very basic, and has some errors. Be very careful if you plan on using it. And we have been unable to find their passwords. But, i will leave that up to Nadeshiko" Persona said handing over the blueprint and looking at me.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me" I said to him
"I don't kid" Persona said. I stepped forward and glared at him
"We had a promise" I growled at him
"It's a mission. promises mean very little. And try not to get caught, you'll be fine" Persona said and Natsume looked at me weird,
"That helps alot" I snarled and rolled my eyes
"Get going, i have no time to deal with you." Persona waved us away and the gate opened.
"Nadeshiko" Yuki said to me
"Yeah." I said, telling her that Persona had intended for me to test out some alices on the computer and see which one worked. Which would give away my other alice. We walked out of the academy and I stopped walking.
"What are you doing?" Natsume asked irritated
"Oh, i suppose you know where the train station is?" I asked him
"..." He responded. I looked back to see that Persona was gone.
"We should ask for directions" Yuki said and walked up to a guy with a cart and asked for directions
"Oh little girl! You're from Alice Academy aren't you? Yes, wait right here, I'll get a..map..yes" He laughed and I glared. I walked over and put my hand on his shoulder
"Oi. Old man. What exactly do you REALLY plan on doing?" I said using Narumi's pheromone alice to get him to tell the truth.
"Hehe.. kidnap you guys, and sell you or hold you for ransom money" he said his face turning pink
"I see... Leave. Now/" I said letting go of his shoulder. He ran away. I put my hand up to my head and rubbed my temples. My alice condition was getting worse and worse.
"What was that?" Natsume asked
"Nothing, let's go" I said
"Don't we need directions to the train station?" he asked
"Don't worry, i got them" I said and walked off into the direction i got from reading the guy's mind.
On the train
Natsume's P.O.V.
I looked at the trees that were passing by, outside of the window. I looked over to the seats across from me. The nadeshiko girl was still rubbing her head like she had a major headache, and Ishi was looking at her with a worried look. What's wrong with her? Maybe she has the same alice type as me...
"Oi" it slipped out of my mouth
"Nani?" she asked
"You... never mind" I shook my head. She gave me a suspicious look but then closed her head and leaned back.
I rarely ask anyone if there ok. Very rarely, and never for a stranger. But for some reason it feels like i know her.
"Natsume" Yuki said
"Hn?" I replied
"What do you think of Mikan?" Yuki asked smiling evilly. Nadeshiko opened her eyes and slyly elbowed Yuki in the stomach. But i still saw it.
"What?" I asked her
"You know, like do you think she's pretty? smart? nice? Do you like her?" Yuki asked. Nadeshiko looked out the window but i could see her secretly glaring at Ishi.
"Polka is really...something" I said cooly and leaning back.
"Oh.." Yuki smiled, knowing exactly what i meant. She always knows what i mean, that's what i get for hanging out with her when i was little.
Mikan's P.O.V.
Ok. What does he mean by, SOMETHING?!? What in the world is that supposed to mean!!! Is it good? Is it BAD? Is it MEAN? I bet it is something mean. Why that Natsume!! I mean really, something! Am i some object? Why do i even care what he thinks of me? I shook my head.
Oh you know you care. You like him. ALOT. You have it bad! a voice in my head said.
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THERE ARE VOICES IN MY HEAD!! I'VE GONE INSANE!! I banged my head against the chair.
People will think you're insane if you don't stop banging your head against the chair!! And i'm not some voice in your head. I'm the inner you. And i'm here to tell you that you like Natsume. ALOT. I really don't blame you. The guy is HOT. His inner is pretty fineee too. the voice said
Wait. So Natsume has a voice inside his head too?
Yupp
AHH! Natsume's crazy too!
He's not crazy. And neither are you. You like him.
I.. I do?
DUHHHHH
Oh, i guess i do... I giggled to myself. And everyone stared at me.
Natsume's P.O.V.
This girl is crazy. First she bangs her head on the chair, then she giggles to herself. She must have hit her head too hard. Or maybe she didn't get enough sleep.
HA! But damn is she HOT!
It's YOU again! And she is not that hot.
Ha you're right. That Sakura girl you have a crush on is hotter.
I do NOT have a crush on Polka!
Yes you do.
No i don't
Yes you do.
No i don't
Yes you do.
No i don't
Yes you do.
No i don't
Yes you do.
No i don't
Yes you do.
No i don't
Yes you do.
Fine! I do. There! Happy?
Very.
I'm pretty sure I've gone insane. I'm talking to a voice inside of my head.
Well, if you're crazy, then that makes me crazy. But on the bright side, at least we're crazy AND hot.
You have a big head.
If i have a big head. Then you have a big head too. BWAHA! We must be smart!
Not literally.
The train stopped. And people were getting up from their seats. We were here. But it was late now around 3-ish, which means we had to stop somewhere first and wait until tomorrow morning. We were too weak to attack now anyway.
"Do you have that money Persona gave us?" I asked her. Nadeshiko tossed the bag of money to me.
"We'll stop in a motel or something for today. We need to get some energy" I said
"And some food!" Yuki whined.
At the Motel
"Here, we each get a key" Nadeshiko said handing us each a key.
"Where are we going to eat???" Yuki complained
"I saw a little cafe near here" she said and got up
"Let's go" she said. I got up and walked over, I locked the door when we were all out the door. We walked to the cafe, and i walked up to the girl standing at the podium,
"Three" I said to her. She looked up and immediately had hearts in her eyes. She batted her eyelashes at me. Ew. Fangirl.
"Of course" She giggled. Then she looked behind me, probably checking if the others were hot guys. But then her expression changed to a glare when she saw the two behind me.
Mikan's P.O.V.
I rolled my eyes. Great another fangirl. She's even glaring at us. Puh-lease. Maybe if there is only ONE girl she could glare. But there's two of us. What is there to glare about?
"This way" She said to Natsume in a gross overly frosted voice. I stuck my hand in my mouth like i was gagging to Yuki and Yuki giggled. The girl glared at us, and i just smiled sarcastically at her.
"Here's your seat" she said pulling out Natsume's chair
"What, not gonna pull our seats out?" I said to her.
"Uh yeah, the day this tablecloth spontaneously catches on fire." The girl snorted. Interesting choice of words. I smirked at her. I used my fire alice and lit a small fire on the tablecloth. The girl jumped up and shrieked.
"Well!! Would you look at that! The tablecloth caught fire! How strange how things happen these days isn't it? Chair." I said pointing the chairs. The girl walked over with her legs shaking and pulled out our chairs. Then she fell over
"Waiter" I waved my hands. A waiter came over and picked up the girl.
"What's wrong with you Karin?" the waiter asked the girl
"The tablecloth.. it caught fire! Right after i said it! THAT GIRL!! SHE DID SOMETHING!!" She said pointing at me. I looked as innocent as I could
"I don't know what she means" i said to him, holding my hand, gesturing towards the perfect tablecloth that had no burns marks, scratches, holes or anything.
"Right Karin. Right. Sorry you guys, I'll be back to take your orders after i take care of her" The waiter said
"But! BUT! It really did!!!" Karin screamed. Once they were gone Yuki laughed her head off.
"That was so mean!" Yuki laughed
"You shouldn't give us away like that" Natsume said
"Like anyone would believe her anyway" I shrugged
"Just be more careful about it" Natsume said looking down at his menu.
Later that night
Normal P.O.V.
"Get to sleep. Tomorrow, we'll get up at 4:30. We'll get there by 5 on foot. From there we break in, Nadeshiko and I will hack the system. Yuki you keep guard and tell us when people are coming. We take down everyone that gets in our way" Natsume explained
"Ok" Nadeshiko said looking at the clock that read 6.
"If we get to sleep now, we might actually make up for all those hours of sleep we missed out on last night, right Nadeshiko?" Yuki said yawning and lying down on her bed.
"I'm sure i got more sleep then you. Weren't you at some party last night" Nadeshiko said turning off her light and lying down on her own bed.
"Right, Right" Yuki giggled and fell asleep from all the exhaustion. Nadeshiko sighed and leaned onto her side to face the window. She looked at the glowing moon. It was almost a full moon tonight.
"She's asleep?" Natsume asked turning off his light and lying down on his bed.
"Yeah" Nadeshiko said to him.
"I see" Natsume said
"Ne.." Nadeshiko said to him
"?" Natsume replied
"Tomorrow's going to be dangerous.. isn't it? Like, more dangerous then all those other missions" Nadeshiko asked him
"Yeah" Natsume replied
"I see. Well. Night" Nadeshiko said and pulled her blanket over herself.
Tomorrow Morning in front of the AAO Headquarters...
Mikan's P.O.V.
"Ichi...ni...san...shi...go..roku...shichi...hachi...kyu...jyu..juichi..mou! I can't count them all! There are way too many guards for me to count! How do we get rid of them?!?" Yuki said
"I could use my alice. But that would give us away." Natsume said
"My alice won't help" Yuki said. I rolled my eyes.
"I'll do it" I said i held up my hand and formed little ice pricks. I pricked each and every one of them on a pressure spot so they fainted.
"Run" I said and leaped forward and ran into the headquarter with Natsume and Yuki following behind me.
"Get them!!" a guard screamed
"If you were going to attract this much attention, I could have knocked them out" Natsume said
"Just shut up and run" i yelled at him knocking out a guy in front of me with a punch in the face
"If the blueprints are right, there should be a computer at the next turn" Yuki said.
"Great, and how do we get rid of the people behind us?" Natsume asked
"I got that" I said, i used my dark alice and darkened out everything behind us
"What was that?" Natsume asked
"Not a good time for questions" I knocked out that last guy in front of us and turned.
"Keep watch" I told her
"Hai" Yuki said and walked away to keep watch.
"What now?" Natsume asked. I inhaled and blew out the air.
"Nothing left to do but this" I held my hand out over the keyboard. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my alice.
Natsume's P.O.V.
She closed her eyes and held her hands over the keyboard. I was about to ask what good that would do when the keyboard lit up. The keys started to press on their own and the computer accepted all the data and passwords the keys pressed down.
"Kuro Neko.Flash Drive." she said. I plugged the flashdrive into the computer. And the data started to download. After about 3 minutes it was 91 done.
"AHHH" Yuki screamed and their was a sound of a bang on the wall.
Mikan's P.O.V.
Yuki... I opened my eyes. 92. I can't take my hands away or else it will fail. A man rushed over and Natsume hit him in the stomach, But more men kept coming. 93. Hurry. Yuki rushed into the room and helped Natsume. 94. A man pushed Yuki to the side and she banged against the wall and fell. 97. A man punched Natsume in the face. 99. Some guy shoved Natsume to the ground and Yuki was stirring in her unconciousness. 100! I pulled the flashdrive out and snapped my swords into my hand. I cut all the men in sight and rushed over to Yuki and helped her up.
"Hurry!" I said as Natsume got up and we ran for it. Once we were outside i felt my legs giving in and i fell to the ground.
"Shit" Natsume said trying to help me up, behind us we heard clapping.
"Very, very good job" Reo said laughing
"But, not good enough." he said and something that could be mistaken as an army showed up behind him. I got up and slashed the closest enemy i could find, Natsume was burning and fighting off almost 50 men and had somehow ended up pretty far away from us, and Yuki was fighting against more of them. I ran up to Reo and punched him in the face.
"You've got to do better then that" he said trying to kick me and i jumped up to dodge it. I used my earth alice and knocked him to the ground, he got up and he punch me in the stomach. I threw an ice dagger at his leg and he screamed in pain.
"You little brat" He said trying to use his alice
"Your alice won't work on me, old man" I said throwing an ice dagger at his stomach, He fell to the ground and looked at me with shocked eyes.
"My my, if it isn't little miss mikan sakura. How are you doing?" He asked evilly
"A whole lot better if you weren't around" I said stabbing an ice dagger into his leg and he screamed.
"I underestimated you, but you know there are bad sides to giving yourself away little girl. You see, I know your weakness" he pulled out his gun and aimed it at something. I looked to where he was pointing and i felt my heart skip a beat.
"NO!" I screamed and he pulled the trigger. I heard the click and tears flowed out of my eyes. There was no time to think, everything was happening too fast, and it was spinning out of control.
.Natsume.
