Chapter -Don't disappear from our life...
The school was in greater trouble than any attack they had ever faced. It was falling fast. Not only were there enemies lying on the ground, there were students and teachers too…
Swirling around gracefully, she aimed at the group of enemies nearest to her.
"Baka! Baka! Baka!" three large cannon balls exploded from the tip of the 'ultra baka cannon'. With her ever precise aiming, all of the enemies were swiftly knocked out.
Just then, thousand of bees swarmed behind her, stinging the enemy that was about to ambush her to death.
"Hotaru! Are you all right?" the blonde hair boy gasped as he landed on his feet beside her.
"I'm fine." She snapped and knocked out another behind the boy. "Ruka, you've got to stop worrying…" she huffed, her purple iris meeting his blue ones briefly.
He shrugged and returned to directing his little army at another bunch of AAOs. They never seemed to run out. Facing back to back, they defended each other with perfect synchronization, never failing to watch out for one another.
"Where's them?" Hotaru asked.
"I don't know, but from what my friends said-" before Ruka could finish his sentence, a huge explosion was heard in the direction of a dilapidated science building. They flames were ferocious. Ruka and his girlfriend immediately recognize the flames. They were Natsume's…
"No…" Ruka breathed as he pulled Hotaru's hand towards the building.
"Mikan!" She shouted. Anxiousness was engulfing them as they made their way to the crumbling building, slashing away at every enemy they see.
"Force field initiated." Hotaru pressed a button at the hem of her shorts and a purple square surrounded them. They looked at the building for a split second before dashing in to save their friends.
"Mikan! Natsume! Where're you?" Ruka shouted in despair as he dashed around the fury of the flames. Hotaru had to hold him back from dashing out of the force field.
"Calm down…" she mumbled, her face straining to maintain their usual coolness. They combed the first floor, then the second, and finally the third.
The flames were much more ferocious than the ones below. It was suffocating. "Force field level 5 initiated." Hotaru gasped as she pressed the button again. The field grew thicker and bigger.
They could see piles of ash lying on the crumbling floor. Those were obviously AAO agents. Never mess with the Hyuuga…
They searched around frantically, till they chanced upon two bodies behind the teacher's table. those two bodies were not burned unlike the rest. The flames were avoiding them, as if not wanting to hurt them…
"Mikan! Natsume!" Hotaru gasped in horror as they saw the twosome. Ruka dragged them into the field, immediately checking their conditions.
"No!" his voice was muffled by the crackling flames. "Natsume's not breathing! Mikan's pulse is weak, they're not going to make it!"
"No! Bring them out! Now! We've got to take them to the shelter immediately." Hotaru forced her tears back as she saw Mikan's weathered face. "how could you Natsume…" she thought. "I thought you would protect her from all cause… How could you do this to me?"
She carried the brunette in her arms and Ruka carried Natsume's in his. They made their way out of the burning inferno, anguish flooding them both…
Fifteen minutes later…
"It's no use… they can't be saved anymore…" Hotaru's brother shook his head sadly as he covered their bodies with white cloth.
"No! Do something!" Hotaru gasped as she shook her brother's shoulders angrily.
"I had done everything that I could… Mikan had inhaled too much poisonous gas while Natsume… was devoured by his own alice…"
"No…" Hotaru breathed as she leaned against Ruka. The blonde shut his eyes tightly, as if he was wishing that all this never happened.
"Wait! Maybe I can help!" they all turned around to see a small, grey hair boy.
"Youichi! What do you mean? You can't just revive them from the dead!" Both Imai said at the same time.
"I can't… but I can save their souls… I can see them…" Youichi reached his hand out and grasped at the air in front of him.
"Nii-chan…" Youichi croaked out as he hugged the air in front of him.
"Nee-chan!" he was sobbing now.
"They are not ready to leave yet. I can help them retain their memories in their next life. Maybe their alice too!" Youichi said between tears.
"You-chan…" Ruka edged forward to tousle his hair. "O-negaishimasu…"
With a nod of his little head, he activated his other alice and grew into an eighteen year old boy. "Stay back… This will take quite a while…"
Everyone backed away from the soul user as they watched him, hoping in their hearts that he would succeed in whatever he's doing…
30 minutes later…
"Bye bye Natsume ni-chan, Mikan o-nee-chan…" Youichi waved at the surroundings as he returned to his 8 year old form.
"Is everything okay?" Hotaru asked, confused.
With another nod of his head, he fell into unconsciousness.
"He's exhausted…" Ruka patted his head and looked up. "Natsume, Mikan, please be safe… wherever you are… whoever you are…"
