Chapter 15

"mikan………Mikan……"

"Natsume…?" She ask

"hang in there Mikan I'm coming…"

"No don't he's too dangerous…"

Then there is a flash on Mikan's mind

Natsume's in front of her with a smile

"natsume…"

Then there is a slash sound and she saw Natsume falls down dead

"Natsume!!!!!"

"Ah!" she gasped as she open her eyes

She was on a dark isolated place she's been tied up she roam her blurry eyes

"Where am I? Last thing I remember…I was walking down the corridor, It was late…I saw him…but then I couldn't move…I was petrified then I fall down, and I fell unconscious…then I was here…"

"So glad you're Awake!" A voice echoed

She looked around

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here!?" she shouted

"I just want to talk to you, that's all" the voice continued

"Show yourself!"

The chair in front of her move as if someone wants to sit there then a tongue of light came out

"Mamoru?" Mikan said as soon as he recognized the guy sitting in front of her

Mamoru smiled

"You're the one behind this? Why are you doing this…?"

There was silence

"Why won't you answer…are you the one sending those pictures? And the one who attack me? Answer me!" She shouted

"Yes! But I did all that to protect you, because I love you!"

"You hurt me, you mauled me to the ground you strangle me, slapped my face in numerous times, then you're saying you love? You didn't love me? You're crazy!"

"AaaaaH!" Mikan shouted

Mamoru slapped her so hard that she was thrown to the ground

"All I want to do is to love you, but you keep rejecting me, I was not the one who made you suffer, you did it to yourself." Mamoru cried fierce with anger

"If you just tell me you love, we could've been friends…"

"but I don't want to be your friend!" he shouted

"I don't accept suitors, you know that, I need to exert more effort in…"

"Liar! I know the reason why you keep rejecting suitors…It's because of that darn black cat! Darn him… I f only I've killed him…"

"Don't you dare touch him!"

"Well sorry, but I think I already did."

"What did you do to him!"

"Well my Alice was strong enough to petrify him and embed some wound on his beautiful face!"

"you're insane, he haven't done anything wrong to you!"

"He has, he steal you!"

"he never steal me!"

"I watch his face bleed, just like what I did to Akira Souma."

"What did you do to Akira?" she said with her voice trembling

"I draw a beautiful scar on his abdomen."

"What scar?"

"I hurt him pretty bad, but not fatal enough to kill him!"

Mikan cried, her eyes was crying with anger

"That's too much! You've became a monster!" she shouted

"If you haven't by pass me, this won't happen. The wound pierced on Akira's body and the slashes I made on Natsume's face, all of them was your fault."

"Shut Up!"

"All of this was your fault Mikan!"

Mikan was sobbing

"No it's not…"

"But I won't do any damage…for now, I provide you with two choices."

Mikan looked at him

"I'm going to be release here for another company, I need another alice to accompany me, A special alice…I want you to be the one whose coming with me…"

"What makes you think I'm coming with you?"

"You're so stupid. you have to come or else…"

"Or else what?"

"I'll kill Natsume Hyuuga"

Mikan's eyes widened

"I don't believe you. how can you kill the black cat? That's quite impossible!"

"I left blade on his chest, I apply gravity on it, it'll crush your beloved Natsume's heart."

"You're unbelievable!"

"You have to choose…You will stay here and he'll die or you come with me I'll spare his life."

---silence---

Mikan smiled as tears fell from her brown eyes

"I guess I have no choice…I'm coming."

"Good."

Mamoru move closer to Mikan and was about to kiss her, she can't move, the alice of Mamoru was applied then a ray of her nullifying alice crawl the ground to the Main school, nullifying every alice it encountered. Mochu was levitating the pail of water, in an instant it dropped. Ruka was on the roof top controlling his rabbit then suddenly he can't communicate with it, Koko whose reading the minds of Anna and Nonoko but suddenly he can't hear a thing, Yuu whose making illusions and criticizing it when suddenly it disappear, Mr. Ginno whose busy lecturing a student on the faculty pointing his electrical wand but suddenly, electricity won't emit, Hina was foretelling the future of her mother looking at her crystal ball but suddenly the images disappear, then there was a unusual heat on the ground Hotaru felt it and look out from the window, Mr. Narumi got out of the faculty room and sigh "Mikan…" then Natsume whose busy firing the trashes on the trash can was perplexed when he saw the fire suddenly extinguished.

Then suddenly Mikan was able to move her face and turn sideways

"So you really reject me?" the Mamoru frowned and he untie Mikan's hands

"Okay you can go now, Remember I know you're every move, one mistake and he's gone."

Mikan stood up and walked out of the room

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the dining hall, the students were talking about what had transpired

"Natsume…" Ruka called

"Feel that?" Koko said

"Yes, The pail dropped on me, I have to take showers again." Mochu said in annoyance

"Mikan's Nullification Alice." He said in a monotonous tone

"Definitely it's her, It's amazing, It crawled like an earthquake."

"The Alice she nullified was definitely related to the ground, there was a sudden heat right!"

"but she's missing?"

As Mochu and Koko continue to praise Mikan's ability…

"Natsume…"

"I know Ruka, she's fighting Hang on Mikan..."

"hey It's Mikan!" Nonoko rejoiced

Everybody look at the dining hall doors, there came in a brunette, Natsume's group turn their attention to her, Natsume was half glad, But he saw her wrist, swollen from the rope, tied on it, her face swollen because of the slap she receive, Natsume's hands were clutched, controlling himself, but then a boy followed, it was Mamoru. By then he can't control his anger, he walked heating the ground with his right hand holding a fire bolt, Ruke tried to stop him

"Hey Natsume. Stop that!" Ruka was holding Natsume's Arm

Natsume turned his eyes

then Ruka felt cold chill

"Let go!"

Ruka don't know why but he's so afraid of Natsume

Natsume walk closer, the students were moving away, Mamoru saw him but it seemed to him that he's not afraid

Mikn saw what was happening when Natsume was a bolt away from Mamoru, Mikan appeared in front of him, and nullified Natsume's attack

"Stop it!" She seriously said

"Ms. Sakura, Mr. Hyuuga!" A voice called

Everyone looked at the person who command them

"Yes. Mr. Narumi." Mikan called

"You two, to the faculty!" the teacher said

Natsume looked at Mikan

"Go!" she said shooing Natsume away
He turned back

Mikan looked at Mamoru with a got-damn-you look

Mamoru grinned with a quite content smile

"What happened there?" Nonoko ask

"well Mikan used to stand for other people." Sumire suggested

Then Ruka's group approach them

"Something was definitely wrong, Mikan would stand for other people, willingly, but what we see just now, she's forced to do that!" Ruka said then he looked at hotaru, whose been staring at the two also but then she landed her purple orbs to Ruka they met each other's look

Then she avoided Ruka's look and turn to the other direction

"I'm going to my lab, I'm not hungry yet."

Mochu look at Ruka, who has a pleading look and at the girl whose about to leave

"You guys are so unpredictable!" Koko said

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 16

At the faculty…

"Mikan, where have you been?" Mr. Narumi asks
"I'm sorry, I stayed on Hotaru's lab." She lied her eyes was quivering, Natsume noticed it at once

"What happened? I mean the nullifying alice was felt, by the entire academy, did you nullify someone?"

"U-u-uhm No! I'm just practicing."

"Natsume, why did you attack Mamoru like that?"

But Natsume didn't say a thing

"Natsume!" Narumi called once more

"He deserves it!" Natsume emphasizes that for him to see Mikan's expression

"But…"

"Mr. Narumi." Mikan cut their conversation

"Huh? What is it?"

"I-I—have a request…" she said

"What is it?"

"I---I"

"You what?"

"I – I wanna go to the special training with Mamoru."

Narumi was surprised, Natsume's eyes widened then it narrowed again to show his angry crimson orbs

"I just want to be trained…" she said as an excusable reason

"But, you're already good at your alice?" Narumi frowned

"I wan't to!" she shouted

"hey, take it easy, your trembling."

Mikan sighed deeply

"I can say that's a great opportunity, but…are you going to leave your friends it's not like you…Are you sure?" he asked

Mikan was spaced out she look on a distant...

"Mikan?"

"huh?"

Narumi sighed

"I said, Are you sure?"

Mikan lowered her head hiding the sadness on her eyes

"Yes." She answered

"Okay then, you'll be leaving 2 days from now; you can pack up your things." Narumi said in great frustration

Natsume stood up and leave

"Thank you sir…" she whispered then she stood up and leave,

"Mikan…Are you sure?" Narumi asked for the last time

She turns, smile and said "Yes…"

She walked out the room pass Natsume whose standing outside the door he catch up with her, he pulled her arm and pushed her against the wall.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why are you going?" he seriously asked

She replied a silent sigh

"Why?" he said tightening his grasps

"I don't know, I have to, Let go off me!" she cried

"I won't, unless you tell me what really happened!"

"Nothing happened. This is good for the two of us! Get away from me!" she pushed Natsume

"He's a foul player! He forced you!" he said

"No! This is for the better."

She continue pushing him until she hit Natsume's lean chest, then she remember what Mamoru told her about the blade, ready to crush his heart,

"I'm sorry!" She pushed him away the she turned her back not enough to hide the tears falling from her eyes."

Natsume was stunned then he chased Mikan to her room
Mikan Ran as fast as she could towards her room, then she locked herself in, then Natsume cope up and started banging the door

"Open Up!"

"Go away Natsume! Don't make this too difficult, for the two of us…

"Open up Mikan! Tell me what happened!"

"Go away! Please!"

Then students begin to gather around the hall to see what is happening

Then Natsume noticed it then he stopped

"What are you looking at!" he shouted

Then everyone walked nervously

Natsume looked at the door once more then walked away

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Natsume?" a voice called

He threw his crimson eyes to the guy who's talking and smirked

"What are you doing here?" he monotonously replied

"You have to tell her Natsume, you have lots of time, try to understand her."

"How can I understand her? If she's not telling me anything."

"Just try your best, she was about to leave 2 days from now."

"I know."

"That's still long enough, you can find a way. After all, you're the famous black cat."

"How?"

"You have you're friends. This is the right time to ask help, you can do that."

Natsume grin

"Good luck!" Then the guy said bidding his goodbye

"thanks Tsubasa."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Only 2 days and she's gone." Ruka sighed

"Yes a short 2 days." Anna followed

"Well at least, She'll be in a better place." Nonoko cheered up

"By the way…I'm sorry to noticed this but…You and Hotaru had been silent lately."

"Huh?"

"You should ask her, she's the bestfriend."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"not now."

"I don't understand why not, after all why not? And after all, you've been quite good friends, "close friends" emphasizing their closeness

"She's been mad about me," he replied

"Oh, not the 2 of you too," hero come, "everybody was fighting, Mikan and Natsume too!"

'They're fighting?"

"Yeah, Mikan close the door in front of Natsume,"

"Really? Quite stubborn, isn't she?" Anna said

Ruka stood up

"Hey where are you going?"

"To Mikan, I'm gonna bid her goodbye!"

"I have an idea!" Anna cheered

"What?"

"What if we arrange a party for her tomorrow evening?"

"Huh? That's quite impossible, in such short time,"

"Yeah, we can use our alices, after all, it's just a simple party,"

"Are you sure?" Ruka asked

"yes, so are you in?"

"of course!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They spread the idea to the whole class, and they all agree to join the preparation. They prepare the Class 2B room. Anna was in charge of the cooking, Ruka for simple program and Anna ask Hotaru for the devices they'll be needing. The next day everyone was busy.

"Natsume……"Koko asked

"What?"

"Are you going to her party?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"I can't face her right now!"

"That's pathetic, so when's the right time to face her? If she's gone already?"

"I don't know!"

"tsk. I can't believe you!"

-silence-

"I'm going now, if you want to take a good look, come at the classroom 6pm."

Then Koko run

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mikan was on her room packing her things then suddenly the door opened and it reveals Hotaru

"Mikan!" Hotaru called

"Hotaru……"she cheered as she run to meet Hotaru's embrace,

Hotaru put out her Baka gun and shoot her.

…BAKA…BAKA…BAKA…

"Ouch What did you do that for!" she cried holding up her head

"You're an idiot!"

"Darn, you always call me idiot!! You're pretty evil! Ouch, my head it hurts!!" she mumbles

"That hurt is nothing compared to what you are doing to yourself…"

Mikan was surprised

"You're an idiot because you're hurting yourself…"

Mikan gather up her wits to look up at her bestfriend and smiled

"Don't worry, after all it's bearable…"

"You're hurting him too you know."

"Huh? Who? Natsume? He's not hurt, I'm not hurting him...It's good, now we can both forgive and forget each other, it's less painful than staying here…watching that pervert play on girls…"

"Stop Fooling Yourself!" Hotaru shouted

"I know…But Hotaru…This is the only way to protect him…" Mikan said

"Why don't you just tell him?"

"I can't."

"Come here idiot…"

Mikan run and embraced Hotaru, then she started to cry…

"I can't…I can't stay here…He's going to kill him…That's more painful than leaving him…" She cried

"You're such an Idiot!"

"Don't tell him…Don't tell Natsume that his the reason…"

"Stop crying, you don't want to be ugly…The class invites you to the classroom, 6pm."

"Huh? For what?" she ask wiping her tears away and breaking her tight hug

"Just go!"

Then Hotaru walked out of the room…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6pm…Class 2-B…

"SURPRISE!!!" the class said in unison…

"Oh Gosh!"

The original class…I'm going to miss you all…

"Well, We can't let you leave us without spending a party with us…" Nonoko Said

"Thank you guys!" she said on a teary eyes

"hey don't cry…" Ruka said

"I just can't help it…"

"Oh Don't be too sentimental!" Sumire said

"They're all here…except…"

"Hey what's the matter?" Anna asked

"Nothing!" she smiled

The whole class was overjoyed all evening…Koko began playing silly games, laughing filled the empty halls, there was a food fight after all of them have ate their dinner, there were games… there were teasing each other…Hotaru was using her inventions as a toy…Mikan was having lots of fun…except she'll be leaving tomorrow… she feels the warmth of the class…and there is… staring at the top of a tree…when all is ended

"I'll Miss you!" Anna hugged Mikan

"Awww…Me too…" she replied then she burst into tears…

"Oh come on!" Ruka said

"Ruka!" Mikan said and embraced him

"Hey… It's really good to be with you Mikan…" he embraced her back

Then the class gathered round to form a group hug…Hotaru was taking pictures
