Hi!
This chapter is dedicated to HeideeMay, our 100th reviewer. Thank you... thank you... thank you! All of you have been great supporters over the last... how long?... so please keep it up. You don't want me to be sad, do you? (Rhetorical question, please do not answer)
111 (nice number, eh?) for next chappy?
The Meepsta :) :)
Chapter 35- Conscience
Natsume POV
What's the matter with me now? Rarely have I felt so confused, so completely clueless, in my life. My surroundings are a complete mystery, although I can just make out a few fuzzy shapes, possibly a whitewashed ceiling and some wooden furniture. And before you suggest it, I don't even want to think about how I got here. Not remembering who I am is a more urgent problem.
Anybody want to tell me?
Sigh... you're Natsume Hyuuga, Dangerous Ability student of Gakuen Alice.
Thanks for the helpful introduction... Mr... erm... what's your name?
Natsume Hyuunga.
Oh dear... I'm talking to myself again?
Yes.
Do you think it would be a good idea to go to sleep again? I'm so tired...
...
Heeeellllloooo?
...
I'm going lightheaded again... it's just so tempting, and... and...
...And you mustn't go to sleep.
That's what I meant.
Right...
Was that sarcasm?
You decide.
Rude. Anyway, what was I doing before I woke up here?
Why should I tell you?
Because ... you're my friend?
Sound more positive about it.
You're my friend!
And you'll never doubt me again?
No, not if you tell me how I got into this mess. No lying, please.
Sigh. You're so forgetful nowadays...
Tell me.
You went to visit your homeroom teacher, Narumi-senseii, on a matter of... the Sakura girl. After singeing his hair and shutting the door in his face multiple times, you entered his office.
Yes?
He found the situation to be rather... awkward, and...
...Activated his Alice.
Oy, that was my line.
I remember now... no... no... noooo!
Hmph...
Tough. Where am I, by the way? There's a television bleeping from somewhere, and I'm lying on something comfy, like a mattress or a sofa. Am I in someone's room?
See for yourself.
Gr. Tell me, where am I?
In a room.
Well, duh. Who's room am I in?
Yours.
Wha? Why would I be in my room?
Why are you asking me?
You are my conscience!
And?
You're supposed to be wise and 'all-knowing'.
And?
Sigh. I'd better open my eyes then and have a look...
Well, get on with it!
And, when I force my eyes open again...
It's my room.
Told you.
Nah nah ni nah nah then. Bleh.
Gotta go.
Already? Have a nice day!
You're starting to sound like a Kentucky Fried Chicken worker.
Is that a compliment?
No, a profession.
You're going to pay for this later.
By the way, you have a visitor.
Who?
Not telling.
Pretty please?
Bye!
I'll give you Mikan's howalons. I'll ... I'll ...
...
An anxious voice interrupts my thoughts.
"Natsume, you're awake?"
Ruka?
"I was so worried... stupid sensei! You wouldn't wake up for ages, and I was just about to take you to the hospital."
What... why is he here?
"Ruka?" I reply, my voice cracking. "What ... what happened?"
A mini cliffhanger for you all. Hope you enjoyed, and remember, 111 for next chapter!
