Chapter 8: Search and…

"WHERE DID THE HELL THAT BAKA GO?" Shouted an irritated girl.

"She's irritated." Whispered two boys, while some people nodded to it.

Baka Baka Baka

"STOP THAT IMMEDIATELY, IMAI – SAN?!" Shouted a blond haired guy.

Yeah, it was Imai Hotaru who was irritated, and it didn't mean that she wasn't more irritated now. And the one who scolded her was, of course, Nogi Ruka. Everyone, mostly, in the classroom was shouted by the Baka Gun.

"It has been practically one month that you… you are in this state… irritated to death…" Accentuated he on the last word: death. "What's wrong with you?" He asked her after some time. 'It worries me a lot.' Thought Ruka.

Everyone looked at Ruka and Hotaru who had a stern look on her face. It meant she had shown an emotion to everyone.

"You…" she paused and seemed to think before answer him. "Won't understand it at all." She turned her head and looked outside.

'Yeah you won't understand what it feels when your best friend disappeared almost the time and is not the usual person you knew.' Thought Hotaru. 'And the worst is… I missed a lot her annoyed actions and voice.'

"WHAT?"

Everyone startled by the screamed. It was Kokoroyomi. At first, he had a horrible face but suddenly, he had a BIG and MALICIOUS smile, until he was sent to the other side of the class and sent him for some time to heaven. (Obviously you know what did happen here, I don't need to explain it, right?)

'Gasp. She will pay for it when I'll put my hand on her if I can finally find her'

"WHAT?" Shouted once again Koko.

This time, Hotaru wanted kill him for sure. She turned her head towards him with a death glare that will remain to a Natsume angry and irritated face when someone or something touched HIS property or precious friend. She was about to shout Koko to death (for sure) when…

"NANI?" Shouted a girl voice.

"Shhhhhh! Not so loud or someone will hear you." Said another voice.

"But… but how am I supposed to shut since you are talking about HER?"

"Yeah that right. You mark a point. But… better not someone to hear it or…" Paused the voice and continued: "I will be killed by THEM."

"HIII - humph"

"SHHHHHHHHH - sigh – even if I told you to not scream you will do as well." Sighed once again the voice.

"So… what is the problem?"

"Well, you remember what did happen one month ago, right? Well, I heard that some guys had seen her these days to… the main building with some hot guys and…"

"WHAT?"

The door had opened wildly and revealed some stunned faces. The two girls were surprised to death and… were scared to death as well.

"Which main building?" threatened all kids of Class B.

The girls were to scare that they hugged to each others and…

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

Outside of the high school section

"What the hell was that?" Said angrily Hotaru with some smoke letting out of her head.

Everyone was afraid to her either to approach or to ask her what did she intend to do to Mikan?

"It's the first time I saw her like that since she came here." Whispered someone from the back.

"Yeah you right. And it's scarier than to see Natsume irritated or so angry." Some guys nodded to it, which made Natsume smirked.

It was silent. They were walking to the main building of the National Gakuen Alice HQ (even if I'm not sure what the building is.) It was pretty far away from the high school section.

"Ow… where is this building?" Complained someone.

BAKA (that was the BIG and BEST shout that put everyone, except two persons, K.O)

"Who told you to come?" said Hotaru with some devil and scary look. (if it exists?)

Silence… everyone was scared by it, except for Natsume and Ruka. And it became again silence until they reach to a bus station.

"Who want to come along, get on. And who don't want to, go away." Said Natsume, Ruka and Hotaru at the same time and got on the bus which went to Central Town.

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

At Central Town

"So I see that everyone come, huh?" smirked Natsume.

No one did say a word or look at each other. They walked straight to the other side of the Central Town. When they passed by some store, some were attempted to go inside but weren't able to because if they did, they will receive : one to three bullets on the head and passed out, four to six fire balls and seven to ten little birds. And it hurt a lot, since three persons already experienced it and went to hospital. So since no one dared to stop either complain or speak.

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

In a shop

"Eeeeh… isn't that Mikan's gang?" Said a girl voice.

"Huh… Where? Where?" Said a boy voice while looking everywhere, when he spotted to them…

"Let's go to them, so."

"Huh… ok!"

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

Back to the kids

"Come on. Hurry up."

"Ah… Wait… - pant – we can't go – pant – along with you – pant – " Said a girl while regained her breath.

"Anna's right. We can't go along with you guys." Contested Nonoko.

Everyone was tired of walking. Some were breathing hard, others were down, and other ones were protested.

"We know that you guys are worried about Mikan but… please can't you walk slowly." Pleading the mind reader Alice.

Only Hotaru, Natsume and Ruka weren't tired. They stopped walking and turned their head to the exhausted group. They turned slowly their head to reveal: death glare and a dark aura had surrounded them suddenly. The Class B was stunned and terrified to death, even the passers-by. When they saw the three of them, everyone stopped what they were doing. There was a silence, even the birds didn't do any sound. No sound could be heard, only doki-doki terrified sound was heard. No one was breathing, only the three of them were heard.

So they turned around and continued their way, until…

"Oow… what was that for, kiddo?"

"What do you want, Shadow?" Said threateningly Natsume to "Shadow", who seemed to be Andou Tsubasa.

And it was him with Harada Misaki. Tsubasa laughed really… threatening by the look of the three of them.

'Huh… how come he also has to have this kind of look? For Imai and Hyuuga…I understand but him… not really.' Thought Tsubasa and Misaki at the same time.

Yup. Ruka also had a terrifying look and it was pretty difficult to see it. Not mentally but… physically. Imagine a cute shy innocent guy having a… well how to say it… death glare (?) on his cute face… so imagine it… it's totally out of… character, ne?

Well, back to the story. There was an eerie silence. Everyone, passers-by, Class B and the sempais, looked at Natsume, who threw death glare or so a war glare to Tsubasa, Hotaru, emotionless as always, and Ruka which… an irritated look?

"What do you want, Shadow?" Asked once again, this time a really irritated and emotionless girl. Yep, it's Hotaru. "If you don't back off…" She showed something from her bag, it was her Baka gun. "… you know what will happen, right?" Threatened she.

Everyone sweatdropped, especially Tsubasa who was the target of them. Poor him, he was always the lamp to… forget it… back to the story… No one dared to do, say or… look.

After 15 minutes of sweating and not breathing, everyone (the Class B and the sempais) went back to their walk until the main building of the National Gakuen Alice HQ.

On the road, they passed though many students, teachers and people who were smiling, giggling, laughing, teasing, threatening, fighting, chasing, looking, wondering, flirting, passing messages, whispering, scaring, joking, playing, touching, screaming, crying, eating, sipping, drinking, sleeping, reading, breaking, making out (?), loving, kissing (blush for some), hurting, riding, playing prank, hiding, running here and there, splashing passers-by, and… irritating!!! (more on, wont do the list or I wont finish in time)

"Oh my… is it me or I just saw some smoke coming from their head?" Said a girl shaking while holding the sleeves of her friends.

"No… you just saw it right…" Answered another girl weakly.

The group had stopped to walk and they were worrying and afraid about the two scariest students of Gaken Alice, because the last thing they received while walking though the people was… being splashing by some kids. And here the meaning of kids is not the usual meaning, which means a child around 6 to 8 but… also the teenagers (here they are… 15 to 18) and couples (here… huh don't need to precise it).

Once these two were soaked to the bones, everyone backed off except for the kids who did that were totally scared and couldn't move at all. A big gun showed off suddenly and shined with a multitude of fire ball around them. And…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH…"

Birds flew away, leaves blew off. Smoke could be smelled from the Big Canon of the Baka gun new version and the big powerful fire that was set by them.

"Let's go." Ordered the two of them to the group. No one could walk with them, except for Ruka, they were too scared to death for the first time in their life and for knowing these two for years (sorry cant put a number since it various), and were praying for God together. But they had to follow them or they would say "good bye to the good thingy of life would give them in the future" and say "hello to the hell that these two demons would give them as a welcome to the paradise hell".

Everyone sighed from desperation and they followed them without hesitation.

BIP. BIP. BIP.

Everyone stopped and looked everywhere where the sound came from.

"She's nearby."

"Hn."

"Where?"

"Somewhere from… hum… there." Said a girl holding something looked like to a pancake, while pointing the bushes to their right hand side.

They walked to the bushed when…

"WAAAAAAAAA… MIKAN–NEE–SAMA…" Cried a young boy with black hair and eyes, around 9 years old.

"Stop that, will you?" Shouted an older boy with the same hair and eyes must be around 17 years old.

Everyone sweatdropped by the scene, who wouldn't. The 17 years old boy was holding the little boy by his head, as if it was a ball, who was, let's say, flying since he didn't touch the ground, his legs were struggling and was trying to hit the legs of the older boy.

"Let me go, nii-san!" Shouted threateningly the young boy.

"Never." Said sarcastically the older boy (was it?).

"A – Akito… Aki… please… stop it." Said a brunette girl with a little voice and with bandages on her head, her neck, her arms and her legs. Well, she looked like to a… mummy (?).

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

Behind the bushes…

"Huh… isn't it Mikan?"

"So it was true… she was with two handsome boys."

CLICK. FLASH.

"Shaddup." Said two threatening voices.

Everyone sweatdropped and nodded.

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

Back to the scene…

"Mikan–nee–sama" Cried the boy with his hands flying towards her. "Nii-san don't want to let me go, Mikan–nee–sama."

"Aki… will you stop making your pleading crying face to Mikan–sama?"

The little boy, called Aki, glared at the older boy who seemed to be his big brother, and…

"– CRY – Mikan–nee–sama… Nii-san just call me monster face little boy – CRY –. "

Everyone fell anime style, except for Mikan and Aki. Yeah, even Hotaru and Natsume fell as well, for the first in the fanfic, huh, I think.

"WHAT?" Yelled the big brother, while letting go Aki who fell on the ground literally. "You… you…" Searched he for his words pointing the young boy as if he saw something terrible.

"Akito…" Said Mikan looking at him and putting her right hand on her month, as if she was thinking about something, with a worrying look. "I didn't know you could say something like that to your own young brother."

Tic Tac. Everyone looked at her.

Tic Tac. Jaws had dropped (till the ground).

Tic Tac. A malicious smile had shown on Aki's face.

"WHAT? But… but… Mikan–sama… I… I didn't…" Said panicking Akito, searching something in his mind to say or to explain the situation to Mikan. But knowing her, he just sighed and gave up saying anything else.

"All right. I gave up. You freaky moron little bro." Sighed Akito while scratching his head.

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

Behind the bushed…

"I knew that Sakura–san was stupid but… just now was pretty excessive, no?" Said the levitation Alice boy (is it Mochu his name?)

Everyone had sweatdropped by Mikan's reaction and some had slapped their forehead, even Natsume and Ruka.

"Mikan… you will be stupid as ever… and that is why you are a potential prey to these predators (boys)" Said Hotaru with a manly position. She was standing next a tree with one arm on it, the other one on her hips, her legs crossing each other, her back on the trunk, and looking in the direction of Mikan. She gave a big sigh which surprised a lot of people.

"Hehe… Imai-san… why are you acting all mighty and… manly… no… let me say… as an older middle age man…" Said Ruka with a nervous smile on his face.

"But…" Said she without paying any attention to what Ruka said and with a hint of money maker in her eyes and a devil smile. "you'll make me win a lot of money with all these pretty handsome men." Continued she with her famous camera, which shone in the sun light. "And you sure know how to seduce them, right?"

Hotaru paused and looked carefully at Mikan's face. She was smiling at the little boy who was jumping around with his hands to the sky. She sighed.

"Her innocence is really troublesome, sometimes." Whispered Hotaru, enough to be heard by everyone. "Without knowing it, she becomes a lady. Her feature, her attitude, her personality, everything… even her…"

She looked at Mikan really intentionally, until…

"Could it be… no impossible… she couldn't have…"

"MIKAN-NEE-SAMA"

"Huh… what was that?"

Everyone looked what just happened and…

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

Back to Mikan and co

"Ah…" That was what she could say when the little was about to jumped into her arms. But unfortunately for him, something had stopped him, rather someone.

Yup. From nowhere, a hand had stopped the little Aki to jump into Mikan's arms. Mikan was, sort of, surprised by the hand, Akito and Aki were surprised AND scared, because they seemed to know who WAS the hand's owner.

'No… could it be…' Thought Natsume looking at the hand, really upset.

Between Mikan and the hand on Aki's head appeared the other part of the arm, the shoulder, the chest, the other arm, the face, the hair, one leg stepping in front of Mikan and finally the other leg. The body was finally visible to everyone.

The body had step from the darkness and revealed someone with jewels, black clothes, black hairs and a mask which only covered a part of his face, precisely his eyes.

(A/N: yeah they are near a source of darkness, which is certainly the shadow of a tree or of the building)

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

Behind the bushes…

"Na – Natsume…" Said Ruka shaking.

Everyone looked at him and wondered why he was shaking, totally fear. They turned their eyes to Natsume who seemed to be more troubled by the situation. He had a shock look visible on his face.

'No it can't be…' Thought Natsume looking at the mask man.

Hotaru looked at the two boys with the same face, unemotional, but inside her, she was worried about Mikan state.

"Per-Persona." Murmured Akito enough to be heard behind the bushes.

Natsume clenched his fists and had an angry look. Ruka, him, was also angry and scared. Hotaru seemed to be surprised by it. They all turned their gaze to the scene and saw Aki behind his brother, who was terrified. He had a shock and worry face. He held tightly his little brother who had a terror look, almost white as snow.

"Takaoji Akito, I thought I told you to never let this little boy approach or touch Sakura-sama?" Said Persona.

'What? Sakura-sama?' Everyone thought.

"I… I…"

"Aniki" Said a little voce coming from behind Persona. "You don't need to be angry after them, you know." Said Mikan with her cutest voice while holding his sleeves with a little smile, enough cute to bring down any boys and girls.

Persona and Mikan looked at each other's eye.

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

"Huh… is it me or Mikan-chan is surrounding by flowers?" Said Yuu while cleaning his glasses and watched carefully at the scene once again.

"No. You're right, Iinchou? There are flowers around her." Answered Nonoko.

"Yeah. And they are dancing gracefully." Said Koko gazing to Mikan with a big smile.

They all turned their head to him. 'Koko just dozed off.' That was what all think. They all looked at Mikan and suddenly blushed.

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

Let's go back to Mikan and Persona case.

They were deep in their trance until you can see Persona's mouth shaking and had a slight hint of blush on his cheeks (even if you can't see them). He then turned to the other side, not letting Mikan to see it (so it's his left side). But unfortunately for him, he was caught by one of his favourite student.

SNAP

"EH! Hyu-"

"Here, 3000 rabbits (is it enough?)." Said Natsume while lending the money to Hotaru.

He snapped the camera from Hotaru's hand and took immediately many pictures as he could of the scene. She looked at the rabbits and had an evils mile with the sigh of money in her eyes.

"It's a pleasure of making deals with you, Hyuuga." Grinned she while counting the rabbits and put them in her pocket.

"Hn." It's all he can say.

"Hm… Natsume." Called someone.

Natsume stopped taking pictures and looked at the one who just called him. It was Ruka. He had a worried face and didn't know what to do or say.

"What is it, Ruka?" Asked Natsume returning to his activities (taking pictures).

"Well… what… why are you taking pictures of him?"

Natsume stopped, looked up and took pictures.

"Well, it's simple. It's pretty rare to see that Jerk smiling and…" He looked up and smirked. "It's a rare item to see, no?" This time his smirk was more… powerful and devilish.

There was a little silence and…

"Natsume… don't tell me that you want… - gulp –" He stopped and took a glance to a raven haired girl who had raised her eyebrows. "bl-bla-blackmail him?" Finished he finally his sentence.

Natsume snapped out of his actions. He seemed to be shocked from his look. He looked at Ruka and suddenly he chuckled. He was almost about to drop the camera which made twitch Hotaru to make her want to shoot him if her precious camera was about to end in a trash. Fortunately for her, her camera was safe with Natsume, since he had a good reflexe.

"Ruka… who do you think am I?" Said he while weeping his tears at the corner of his eyes WITH a big smile, which made all soul girls flying to heaven. In one word, every girl, except for Hotaru, was sending to the other world for some time, they all collapsed.

"I'm notlike your girlfriend" Said Natsume sarcastically and ironically on the word "girlfriend", which made blush Ruka a LOT.

Everyone had a puzzle face, especially Hotaru. Koko, him, was laughing all his lungs out and was about to collapse any second, but wasn't since he was stunned suddenly and couldn't move at all. He was scared to death, well not really since the girls had stepped on him. (So you can see on his body and face the print of shoes.)

'Hum… maybe I should do it but… no… I won't… it's too risky.' Thought Natsume.

Natsume was in his thought when…

"You have a girlfriend, Ruka-kun?" Said a girl.

"Who is she? Tell us." Asked another one.

"Tell us, Ruka-kun." Ordered some other.

And went along.

"Huh… aniki… is it me or there is some…"

Everyone stopped what they were doing, only the girls were on fury.

"Girls come on… stop it or we will be discovered…" Said Yuu trying his best to calm them.

"Will you ALL shut up." Said two voices angrily and menacingly. "Or do you PREFER to feel MY power?"

Everyone sweatdropped and shut up.

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

"… smoke near the Northern Woods?" Finished Mikan her sentence while pointing above the Class B.

"Don't change the topic, Mikan-chan." Said sternly to her.

"But…"

"No buts, will you? You already let them go all the time when I try to punish them for not listening to my advice about…" He stopped when…

"Mikan-chan?" He looked at Mikan who seemed to be paralyzed from shocked or something. She didn't move. Her finger was pointing the same place, above the tree to the Northern Woods, her eyes were enough big to come out, her mouth formed an "o" shape. She was shaking really badly.

"A-a-an-niki… be-behind y-you…"

Mikan was shaking. She seemed agitated and from shaking, she blocked herself onto the wall. With that she let down her hand and turned her head until it touched the wall. She had tears coming to her eyes, she griped her skirt with one hand and the other one was forming a fist.

"Mika-" Called Persona but was cut off by something.

With instinct of his, he turned his head to face what was the meaning of the crapping sense he just felt. He placed himself before Mikan as to protect her from any event of danger. Mikan had gripped herself behind him and engulfed her face into his back.

Persona prepared himself to use his alice when he sensed something coming to their side. The bushed not too far from the group (Class B) moved violently. And…

"NARUMI GIVE ME BACK MY SEEDS, WILL YOU?" Shouted a boy voice.

"Oh, come on, Misaki let me take one seed? It won't kill you. Plus, you let me take it before, no?" Said another voice, coming though the bushes. (He jumped though it as a horse will do when he sees an obstacle.)

"NO. YES, IT WILL. AND IT WAS "BEFORE". SO NOW… GIVE THEM BACK TO ME, NARUMI." Ordered Misaki to Narumi. (Misaki has also jumped though the bushes just like Narumi with an angry and irritated face and a katana in hands.)

They passed in front them, chasing each others. Passing, they let a big silence between them. A wind could feel. There was a bush passing by, a second bush came by, a third one rolled in front of them. And they all collapse, practically.

Everyone sighed from what they just saw. When I say everyone it includes Natsume, Persona and Ruka, except for Mikan, who was stuck behind Persona, and Hotaru who had her emotionless face on.

"My… Sakura-san… I thought it was something more than these two stupid teachers chasing cats and dogs." Said Sumire with a nonchalant tone.

"Mikan-chan, if it was what you were scared about and it results to be a joke, it isn't funny at all." Said Persona with his back to Mikan. "You know perfectly that I don't like joke like that and you know also that it would make me worry about you if something happen to you." Continued he while turning to face her.

He was expected to have the stupid and annoyed smile on her face when he faced her completely. But all he got was a scared, terrified face, she was almost about to burst out in any minutes. Inside him, he was panicking, just like Natsume who also was in the same state as him. He was about to come out from the bushes when…

"Come on, Mikan-chan. You are a big girl. Whatever the scaring thing are, you can… huh…" Persona stopped to thing about something to calm her down. When bells a ring, he said: "you can scare them also."

Silence. A bush passed by.

A big wind caressed their face and hair.

A DOKI-DOKI sound was heard.

And finally a multiple bush came by which made everyone collapsed and sweatdropped by what he just said.

He had a little smile to show her that he was worried and cared for her. Natsume who saw it, took immediately a picture of it. But something wasn't well. Something was strange about the scene. It was what he thought.

When suddenly out of nowhere Persona felt on the ground really hardly. It shocked him a lot and surprised as well for the others.

"My, my, my… Persona… I didn't know you were that care for a little girl like her." Said a voice coming from above of them.

All head was lifted up to the air. All they saw was a head man, a brown haired man, a grin on the beautiful white (?) face. That was only what we can saw… THEY can saw… no body, no legs, no arms, none other than the head.

"Aniki." Said Mikan while running to him all shocking and afraid at the same time and also angry at the flying man.

"Reo… how did you…" Said Persona but was cut off by "him".

"Well… if only you watched where you have to." Said he while mocking Persona. "But that was a good thing that that stupid Narumi came by…" Continued him chuckling, putting his hand on his mouth from nowhere. "Well, if I knew that he would help me a lot from escaping from your security; and say that before today I wasn't been able to approach my target." Finished his sentences looking seriously to Mikan, who was kneeling beside Persona who was weeping the blood on his mouth. He had a death look.

'How the hell did he success to came in?' Thought nervously Persona without letting it show on his face.

'whatever' thought he looking from the corner of his eyes Mikan. 'Better not let them to take her' He looked at Mikan seriously.

Mikan was afraid, and was shaking like a leaf.

"Now. Mikan-chan, come with us, please." Said Reo while showing his hand to her as if he was inviting her to dance.

Now his body was visible to all. He was now standing in front Mikan and Persona.

"Please Mikan-chan, come with me and your little friend won't be harm." Said he calmly with a little hint of threatening.

Everyone knew that the big weak point of Mikan was her friend, their life and particularly his life.

Reo and Mikan looked at each other in the eyes and…

"Oh… and what… you couldn't take me there and you think that will do with this little threatening?" Said Mikan with an evil grin on her face.

"Or is it her order?" This time she looked at him in the eyes.

You can feel there that Mikan was full of pride.

She was now standing. Her hand on her hips, her look was about to burst out at any time, but she was resisting to do, and was full of confidence. And her smile was a wicked one.

Reo, him, didn't know what to say, his face was contracting as if… no… as he was afraid of something.

"Yo-you… how… how did you…" Hesitated he to continue while looking uneasy about the situation.

"Oh, come on." Said Mikan while shaking her finger in front of his face. "Don't tell me that you just underestimate me?"

Reo was sweating like hell (imagine the anime style would be better).

- Sigh - 'Just like I thought, you're like your mother.' Thought Reo with another big sigh, this one was more longer and depressive mode.

"Don't you dare to compare me with her." Threatened Mikan.

"Huh… no I didn't… why should I…" Said he sweating heavily.

'Oh my, she's really her daughter. I can't believe that she has the same power asher. Huh… wait a minute… how did she… no, don't tell me…'

"Unfortunately, for you, it's true." Said a volcano about to explode in any seconds.

"Wait… I'm sorry… I didn't mean it… yeah really…"

Panique à bord…Reo is agitated… and a VOLCANO is about to burst in…

"YOU LITTLE SWEETIE VOICE BAKA!!! DON'T EVER COMPARE ME TO HER WILL YA?"

Mikan had shouted and the worst was coming… imagine it. (A/N:I'll let your imagination to take it over.)

After 5 minutes of… what you had imagined…

"What… the… what was that just now?" Asked someone from behind the bushes.

Everyone had collapsed from what they just was and heard and sweatdropped.

"What was the meaning of her? And who is that person, who seems that Reo is scared of?" Asked someone.

"First, Reo is afraid of her." Said someone else as he/she recalled what just happened.

"Second, she's angry." Said another one while holding his head and shaking violently, with a horror face.

"Third… how the hell did she did it?" Said the lastly person with a shock face (an horrible shock face.).

Everyone looked confused and looked back at Mikan and co.

True. Reo was on the floor, he was hugging his stomach. Mikan was only an inch away from him. She was holding his chin and looked into his eyes.

"You better not compare me with her anymore, or else," Said menacingly and let away his face, which practically smashed the floor. "you won't be able to see how this wonderful world will turn out to be." She continued sarcastically.

Her back was turned to Reo and her friends. He was muttering something like cursing her, and spit some blood. He got up and had this time a serious face.

"I'm really pissed off now." Clean his mouth.

"Now, you have two choices. First, you came with us and your friends won't be harm."

Mikan turned her head to him and was also pissed off (seems to be).

"And second, I think I don't need to tell you the other choice, right?"

Mikan was now shaking and looked really frustrated. Persona, who was behind her, knew perfectly what she was thinking. He was sure that she will follow them but to his surprised, she…

"Hu… HAHAHAHA…" Burst out suddenly Mikan. She was holding her stomach, she was almost to fell down.

"Don't make me laugh." Maliciously, that was how her glace was. "I don't care at all what…" Paused she, closed her eyes, breathed deeply, opened them and glared at him and his subordinates (I didn't mention it but they were around 5: 4 subs and Reo).

"… will happen to them. Because if you try to do something she won't be happy, right?"

Mikan had a strange manner. She grinned and smiled wildly. She stretched, arms and legs, and formed with her hand a triangle shape and looked in. she had the…

"… brightness smile." Muttered some people with some blush.

"ARG" Shouted suddenly Mikan, almost falling on the ground. She was holding tightly her head. She was massing her tempter.

"All right, sorry I care for them." Mikan got up massing along her tempter. "So please don't shout like that."

"Huh… too late…" Said a voice sarcastically.

Mikan had frowned on this statement.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH…"

'No… it can't be…'

She turned her head and…

FLASH.

All we can see was… some students were holding by the skin or by their hair by some black gorilla men wearing sunglasses. Some others were on the ground or hiding trying to cover themselves from being beaten by them. And lastly, the things that no one would do if they care a lot for their own life…

First, Ruka was pinned on the trunk trying hard to breathe, since for some unknown reason, he was on the air.

Second, Hotaru coughed some blood and was on the floor. Her eyes were almost out, and looked in total shock.

Third, the worst thing that could be seen in her entire life, Natsume was beaten badly, bleeding seriously, had many bruises and cut, and more over. Someone was about to hit Natsume, he was about to be shout. A gun was only an inch away from his head. Natsume was looking at it which was just in front of his eyes. And…

"Don't you dare to touch my friends" said a little voice.

"Huh…" said someone with a questioning look as he turned around, looking for the voice.

"Eh…" said someone else with the same at attitude, except that he looked at his colleagues.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH…"

Suddenly, fire ball were surrounding the black men. Ice shield were making as a… shield.

"What?" Shouted Reo. He was shocked of what he just saw.

True. His subordinates were burning or frozen, literally. Burning meant dead. Frozen meant statue, but also… they were literally broken like if nothing. The ground was covered by them, their ice broken corpse and shining, just like mirror. It was disgusting since you saw some blood frozen and some organs.

"You better go now if you don't want to feel the same pain, Reo." Said calmly Persona from behind him.

"So, it means that… you will let me go… like that?" Asked he to him. He was shocked and surprised.

"Well, let's say that… I would like you to report this event to… your mistress that mymistress is awaken from the long and deep sleep." Answered Persona satisfied by his answer.

"You…" Reo was shaking and turned pale, but before he could finished his sentence, he felt someone looking at him sternly which made him feel chill all over his spin. He turned his head and… he saw a dark aura all around them. Some students were shocked and couldn't move but they were looking at Mikan who was sitting beside Natsume.

She looked up and at Reo who knew in that instant that something wasn't good at all. She got up, walked to him slowly with her head down and her bangs covered her face. He backed off and was in total fear. Her bandages began to fall down, revealing something really unbelievable: on her forehead, we can see something which looked like to a black hole, little one; on her neck, were the hand marks as if something had tried to strangle her; on her arms and legs were bruises and cut, they were little but enough to be affected anytime.

"I… I'm going for now but… when I'll come back that time you will come with us, Sakura Mikan." Said finally Reo before disappearing into thin.

'Sure, she's her daughter, my mistress's daughter.' That was the last thing he thought before going, and it was been caught by Koko, which surprised him a lot.
