Mikan was slowly dieing, but Natsume threw the rose and it hurt Risa, but Natsume had a wound inflicted upon him. Mikan found out abouit Risa's past, and they earned the King of Hearts, the newest card. Now all they need is the Joker, but who will it be. Risa, Natsume, Mikan, or Tsubasa...

Fifty
King of Hearts

Risa stared in horror at the King of Hearts beside Mikan, sticking out of the ground and facing her as she stared at it with her black eyes in horror. There on the picture was Natsume, his eyes closed while a crown of thorns lay on his head, the thorns poking into his forehead, droplets of blood dripping down his face as she stared at it. His face was pale in the picture, and two hands were above the crown, as if they had just placed the circlet of thorns there on his temple. Risa's eyes widened in horror.

Then Mikan, through her tears, saw the card next to her and picked it up, staring at it with a pale face and tear filled eyes. She then looked up at Risa, and gave a long, hard glare before standing on her two feet as Natsume watched her, and Mikan dropped the cards, it was inches away from his face, with razor sharp edges. Mikan's head was hung low, and Risa stared at her, coldly in return to Mikan's glare.

"I... I... I hate you, Risa!" yelled Mikan, suddenly lifting her head to show red eyes that tore through Risa, who gasped as Mikan flew up towards her, beating her large angel wings as Risa dodged Mikan quickly. Mikan had broke, and a part of the demon came out from her heart because of Risa.

Risa had accidentally put some of her demon inside of Mikan's heart when she was inflicting pain upon her earlier, before Natsume had thrown the stupid rose at her. Mikan growled, flying fast towards her enemy as Risa threw daggers at Mikan, who dodged them all, and threw them back when she caught them.

Natsume, watching from the ground, turned to stare at the rose that was in the ground, the stem holding it upright. He saw that it had gone from a deep blood red rose, to a black, wilting rose that was dead. He stared at it, then realised it looked like the rose Mikan had held in the Ace of Hearts. His eyes widened...

If Risa could help it, she would make sure Mikan died, looking like the Ace of Hearts, and she would make sure she looked like the Queen of hearts in her picture on the card. Natsume felt sick. Mikan was going to die if Risa didn't, and he couldn't stop them from batteling.

Or could he? He stared at the card in front of him, showing his picture with a crown of thorns on his head, making him bleed. He wondered if his card would come true, like Risa's or Mikan's? He wondered if any of the cards would seal their fate? He knew Sumire's, Hamulin's, Reo's, Nina's and Yuka's all showed the truth, they were dead, and would never return. But what about Mikan and the others? Would he ever see Mikan again, or Aoi? What about Ruka?

Would he see any of those people again, or would the cards kill them. He didn't know, Natsume didn't have the answers to any of his questions. They would all reveal themselves in time, when the battle was finally over.

And it would reveal who won, and who became the joker. Natsume took the card with his picture from the ground, and clutched it tightly. He would help Mikan win, he didn't care how weak he was, he would help Mikan.

He watched as Mikan threw the daggers at Risa with a straight aim, but Risa attempted to dodge them all, and succeeded until one hit her in the arm, and so she sent two daggers, one after the other, straight at Mikan, who gasped as a dagger hit her left wing, and it stopped fluttering. Risa then threw another and it hit Mikan's other wing.

Mikan was suddenly pinned to the wall with multiple daggers as Risa smirked, and flew towards her, staring into Mikan's eyes, that were turning from red to hazel.

"Ha, you're already losing, little girl. This battle has gone on for long enough. I'll win it, with Natsume watching as you die. Once you're gone, he will be mine and I can brainwash him into loving him, and don't start spouting things about how much he would hate me, or that it won't be real love! I don't care!" screeched Risa, a dagger in her hand as Mikan stared at it, her eyes darting after the dagger, this way and that, this way and that as Risa yelled at her, while Natsume crawled towards the cage which had held him, and was only occupied Tsubasa.

"So, any last words?" hissed Risa, as Mikan stared at the dagger, then at the evil Risa.

"You say that far too much." Mikan growled, and suddenly, she kicked the dagger out of Risa's hand, then kicked the same hand, and Risa gasped as Mikan took the daggers from her wings, and flew away from Risa, who followed in hot pursuit as Mikan gasped, and quickly batted her wings as more daggers appeared around Risa, and she sent them towards Mikan, who gasped in a loud squeak, and ducked, dodged and looped out of the way of the smokey daggers, which faded away after some time.

"Get here, coward! Hopeless little Princess!" yelled Risa, throwing her daggers as Mikan swivelled out of the way, and glared at Risa.

"I'm the Queen, if you forgot! So, get it memorised you idiotic wannabe!" Mikan yelled, and threw a dagger back towards Risa, who quickly flew out of the way, and watched the dagger hit a tree, then disappear in a puff of the whispy smoke as Mikan glared at her, arms folded. Risa smirked, then laughed throatally.

"I'm not the wannabe, Mikan! You though, will become the wannabe when I win this battle, kill you and get Natsume in the bargain!" laughed Risa loudly as Natsume stared up at the two women, then, started to shake Tsubasa awake, who didn't want to awaken from his lovely sleep. (he's dreaming of Misaki)

"Oi, shadow idiot, wake up! Mikan's in trouble!" hissed Natsume as Tsubasa growled in his sleep, then opened one eye.

"Leave me, I'm dreaming." he mumbled as Natsume sighed, and rolled his eyes. Drastic times called for drastic measures, and a fireball arose in his hand as Tsubasa slept soundly...

"Ow! What was that for, are you trying to freaking kill me!?" yelled Tsubasa, holding onto his scorched butt as Natsume gave an irritated sigh, and stared at Mikan's lazy cousin, and he pointed towards Mikan, who was being attacked by needles and daggers of all kinds.

"See that!? My wife is up there, risking her neck, while you sleep! I'm bloody wounded and you, well, you're fine. Mikan needs our help, Shadow. If you don't help her then I might just kill you with my bare hands and sacrifice you to the sun god!" snapped Natsume angrily as Tsubasa looked up at the sky, seeing his loveable cousin dodging the sharp weapons that a screaming Risa threw at her, then, they both watched as Mikan screamed, a dagger cutting the side of her neck, blood falling onto her feathery wings and forming a puddle on the ground, as Risa laughed manically.

"See!? Now get your lazy ass out there and help her!" Natsume snapped as Tsubasa crawled out of the cage, followed by Natsume, who was clutching his shoulder tightly, while Tsubasa watched as Mikan and Risa battled it out.

Natsume shoved him forwards, and looked up to see Mikan clutching her wound, tears spilling down her cheeks like a waterfall as Risa laughed and yelled insults at her, telling Mikan she was weak, worthless and not wanted. Mikan winced at each word, and more tears splashed down her face as they echoed through her mind. Natsume and Tsubasa had to save her, before Risa got to her completely.

"Give up yet, your highness?! Or do you want even more pain and suffering? I would have thought you would give up by now, but you keep on springing these little surprises on me, saying you will never give up! Well, when death reaches your ladder, Mikan, I'm so sorry to say that you give up then!" laughed Risa as Mikan stared at her, teary eyed.

"Is that what happened to you!? You gave up on everything when death reached the top of your ladder! You just let yourself be taken in, Risa, you just let yourself die, temptation rose to your heart, the temptation to take revenge, to see blood! You gave up!" cried out Mikan as Risa growled, and threw another dagger at Mikan, then, the dagger turned into a long, pointed blade that gleamed silver.

"Oh how dare you! Never comapre yourself and I to each other, brat! I never gave up, I kept going on, but you won't! I had the power and will to go on while you just whither away in your little coffin!" snapped Risa, going crazy as Mikan watched her, then looked down to where Natsume had been laying.

He was nowhere to be seen. Mikqan panicked, and didn't dodge in time to avoid a large large sword coming her way!

Risa cackled manically as Mikan fell down to the ground in a heap of feathers and blue dress, her wound on her side as she gasped in pain, and Risa descended upon the fragile Sakura girl.

"How does it feel to bow before your true master, Sakura girl? Wonderful, or pitiful?" smirked Risa, a long sword in her hand with rubies encrusted in the gilt handle, and she slid it underneath Mikan's chin, making Mikan look up at her, into her horrible smokey black eyes.

"No answer? Well, then, I'll just slit your throat here and now, pitiful, stupid, little Sakura girl..." hissed Risa, the knife drawing closer to Mikan's neck as she closed her eyes tightly, and awaited the pain Risa was going to bestow her...

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!" the scream filled the air, and Mikan gasped as some blood dripped from the cut in her throat. It wouldn't kill her, she just had another cut to go with her collection, but Natsume and Tsubasa had together pierced the heart of Risa, or whatever heart she had inside her.

Together, they had fashioned a crossbow with one of her swords which hadn't turned into smoke, and they aimed it at her, and in the process, pierced the black heart within her. Mikan gasped, looking at the whithering Risa, while Natsume and Tsubasa ran towards Mikan and helped her up. Mikan had one arm over their shoulders, and they all stared up at Risa as she cried in pain, trying to take the dagger from her black, bleeding heart.

"Come on, we have to get going before she gets any of us. Ready, Mikan?" Natsume asked as she stared at him, tears in her eyes all over again as he sighed, and hugged her close.

"I seriously thought I was going to die back there, Natsume." she whispered, and put her head on his shoulder as he kissed her head and she cried, while both Natsume and Tsubasa carried her towards the large wooden door as Risa hung in the air, they just hoped she died soon enough...

They were all going out the door, and just left it's last step when suddenly, all the doors around them slammed shut, and Mikan gasped as the sky turned dark and the wind blew colder than ever while the rose bushes rusteled violently in the hazardous breeze, and suddenly, Risa ascended from the ground, her clothes bloody, her eyes black and cold, hatred flooding her entire being, and the most horrible thing of all was that she was bony, her hair stringy and her fangs were longer, while all the cards, other than the Joker, formed around her, and started to circle the rose garden, their eyes swiveling this way and that, then staring at Mikan, Tsubasa and Natsume.

"You dare to run away from me, from this battle! You dare to even live! You dare to breathe in this realm of darkness! You dare to even set your horrible eyes on me you ugly, dirty humans!" screeched Risa loudly, all the cards staring at Mikan, Natsume and Tsubasa, no, almost glaring. Mikan stood next to Natsume, shaking as he held onto her firmly.

"Leave us a bloody lone!" Natsume yelled, hugging Mikan as Risa screeched.

"Never!" she screamed, and started to fly towards them as Natsume gasped, and Risa went through them, showing she was a ghost, she wasn't solid anymore, the demon woman was almost invincible.

"Eurgh! Don't do that!" Natsume yelled, feeling weird after she went through them again, grinning as Mikan shook violently from the coldness of the ghost, she also shivered from fright as the wind howled low in the dark, cold night.

"I'll do what I want to, Natsume Hyuuga! I won't give you the chance, now! You will go to Hell All of you!!" screeched Risa as Natsume glared at her, shaking his head as Mikan clutched him tightly, tears pouring from her eyes, blood dripping from the wound in her side. What would happen to her baby? Would it die...?

"I won't freaking go to hell, you idiot!" he yelled, clutching Mikan tightly as Risa cackled, hands on her hips.

"Whatever, your majesty! Get ready to die, my cards will shed your blood on this ground and even God can't save you! Prepare yourselves for Hell!" she yelled out as Mikan covered her ears from the horrible screeching that was Risa's voice, and suddenly, she found herself caught in something, and it pierced into her as she gasped, screaming while Risa cackled.

"What? Mikan!" Natsume cried as both he and Tsubasa turned to stare at Mikan, paling because thorns were wrapping around the girl. They were around her neck, her arms and her legs. The last of the thorns were wrapping around her waist, the thorns cutting into her as she struggled, gasping when they pierced into her neck. Risa grinned, bearing her teeth.

"Struggle all you want, little miss perfect, because this will be your last one for sure! These thorns will pierce into you and slit your throat, kill the pitiful baby inside of you and send you to hell! You believed you were the rose, but you're not! Now you're the dead one!" screeched Risa as Mikan stopped struggling, tears falling from her closed eyes as Natsume watched in horror, the thorns cutting deeper into her as a black rose was thrown at Mikan, falling into her lap as she kneeled on the ground, her wrists held by even more thorns that were appearing from behidn her. Natsume watched in horror as Mikan shed red droplets of blood onto the ground, making tiny pools in her lap and on the ground.

"You little bitch!" Natsume yelled, running towards the ugly ghost as she cackled, and disappeared behidn him, confusing the fire caster as she went through him, shrieking with pleasure as he shuddered.

"There's no escaping me, your majesty. No one can escape from Death! It follows you everywhere you go, no matter how much you try to out run it! In the end, Death always wins!"she screeched, sending flying leeches towards Natsume as he widened his eyes, and started to run for his life while the horrid ghost cackled, her hair flying around her head as Natsume stumbled, the leeches disappearing, but instead daggers appeared as Tsubasa ran as well, trying not to get killed.

As they were running, Mikan tried to free herself from the thorns, but nothing would help her. They tightened aroudn her whole body. Her wrists, neck and stomach. She was in danger of the thorns cutting a vvein. What if it did? She would surely be a gonner, then.

That's what Risa hoped. Mikan was a helpless pawn in the dreadful game that Risa had created. She was the one everyone had to try and kill. It was a fight against good and evil, but Risa wanted evil to prevail.

Mikan watched with tears in her eyes as her cousin and husband ran for their lives, stumbling and slipping, trying to make sure no daggers came near them. Risa didn't care anymore. Natsume was in love with Mikan and that meant she would never have him, so she had to kill him in order to win her stupid game. Mikan felt weak suddenly, and gasped for breath as the thorns pierced her even more.

"Run Rabbit run rabbit run run run. Run far away from the Farmers gun!" screeched Risa as Natsume stared at her with hatred in his eyes, and Risa glared back, the coldness running through Natsume as the daggers edged towards him, ready for the kill of the day.

"That's a stupid song for a stupid person!" Natsume hissed, throwing a dagger at Risa which he had caught, but it merely turned into smoke and dust when it reached her, and she produced more of the daggers, her hands on her hips.

"Oh contrare, Hyuuga brat, it seems like you're the stupid one here. No matter how much you try to stop me, I'm invincible! I have the Devil's power, and he will help me to create Earth into another Hell, where Heaven is never an option!" Risa yelled, sending Daggers, flying forks and shards of glass towards them. Mikan found herself being sliced with the glass along with the thorns that captured her.

She was a prisoner who would never escape for sure...

"Mikan's in trouble." Yuka said to Nina who stared at her friend, then looked into a mirror that showed what was happening in different worlds. She gasped when she saw Mikan was dieing slowly, and that her son and Tsubasa were running for her lives.

"Demo, we can't help them, can we? We can only enter dreams!" cried Nina as Yuka sighed, staring at her helpless daughter.

"I want to help her so, so much Nina... But I can't. My only living child will be lost for sure!" cried Yuka as Nina held onto her friends shaking shoulders, hugging her when Mizuki walked in and stared at them.

"Mother... Mikan's strong, even if she does die, she can stop Risa before it's too late, right?" he asked, but Yuka shook her head.

"No... Not this time. Mikan's far too weak and Natsume can't stop Risa all by himself... If Risa kills Mikan, it's the end to all life on Earth, and Hell will surely rise and take over both Heaven and Earth. If Mikan can't escape, then everything is doomed..." Yuka whispered as Nina gasped, and Mikan's mother walked off, crying...

"Give up yet!? You know, not many people have the will that you guys have. They just give up and die. Normally I promise them a life if they kill a loved one, and they follow my plan but they die pitifully in the end of it all. But you... I don't understand you at all, Natsume Hyuuga. Why won't you sacrifice Mikan Sakura?" she asked coldly as Natsume glared at her. Risa had given up on throwing daggers at them. It had been fun, but she was bored again.

"Because I damned well love her, and she's a Hyuuga, just like me!" he hissed through his teeth as Risa cackled, a hand to her mouth.

"Love!? I always hear the same excuse, darling Natsume1 Love does nothing. Look where it landed young Hamulin? Look where it got Yuka when she fell for my stupid brother! Love gets no one no where... But when I decided to go against love and give up my life... Well, look at me now. A powerful and invincible woman who is going to rule earth and hell!" she laughed cruelly as Mikan watched her, her eyes drooping while Natsume glared at Risa, adn Tsubasa growled as Risa went on laughing manically.

"Love can conquer everything!" Natsume said, and Risa folded her long, boney arms.

"Oh really? Your little girlfriend once said that, didn't she? You know, it's always her spouting something about love, what nonsense, what a nuissence. Love doesn't conquer anything at all. It doesn't turn your tears into smiles or whatever. It just makes you grieve, you pathetic sap! Look where love has got your girlfriend! Wrapped in vines, ready to die!" hissed Risa as Natsume threw a fist towards her, but his hand went through the cruel girl as she laughed, then grabbed him by the throat and made him look into her black eyes.

"Go to Hell!" Natsume hissed as the woman grinned toothily, her teeth yellow and crooked.

"I've already been there, darling, and I have no intention to go back. If I do, it will be when Mikan's there, whithering away as the Grim Reapers slit her open!" she cried, and threw Natsume towards Mikan, who watched weakly. Natsume fell in front of her, and he gasped in pain. He then got up again, and ran towards Risa, ready to keep on fighting. Mikan then saw something laying in the pool of blood by her knee's. It was the King of Hearts. It had returned to Natsume, Mikan realised that it had left the circle that was staring at them and circling the garden.

"T-the king of... h-hearts..." she whispered to herself, staring at it as Natsume tried to destroy Risa, but to no avail. Risa just cackled, no one noticed Mikan at all. Then it happened.

As Natsume and Tsubasa fought Risa, they never noticed that something had started to happen. Whilst they ignored Mikan, her head suddenly fell, her hair covering her face and neck. Her body became limp and cold, she was still, and her final tear had been shed. It fell into a pool of her blood as the thorns stopped piercing her, feeling her body die by their touch.

She was dead...

And now we know what has happened, but this isn't the end of the story, oh no! There are two more chapters to go, but what will happen to Risa now that she has won the game? Will Natsume avenge Mikan and kill the evil woman, or will he fall to the same fate as his wife did...

Lots of Love, Kelly-chan!
