Somewhere on the Academy ground, in a classroom, in the darkness…
Silence. There was a death silence.
The gang was there, sitting on table, chair or standing (almost sitting) near the windows.
Outside, it was dark, noisy, freezy and… deathly. Dark for the night with some little light coming from the moon. Noisy for the wild wind hitting the windows and trees, and making the sound like a big storm or hurricane. Freezy for the season, it was middle of autumn. And deathly for… nobody, no sound, no flappy-chirping birds sound… no words had been exchanging between them… it was totally an eerie silence, as if it was a burial.
When the moon lit the room, it showed us something expected by the event. The gang had bandages on, some bruises and scratches that were minors one compared to three of them or two, it depended on how it was.
The three of them had a dark mark on the neck, many bruises on the face, arms and legs. Their clothes were practically torn (as well as the others) with some little holes. One had bandage on his head, another one had from her shoulder to her breast, even till her hips, and the last one was the worst : he had bandages all over, not like Mikan was, his were only little and had had bandages here and there, just like little cut.
They all had a far away look. Their glare seemed to look though things.
"It's late. Let's go to sleep and let's talk about it tomorrow."
They all nodded and existed the room.

Next day. 6.13am
A Sunny day at Gakuen Alice, birds were chirping, a blue sky filled by flying birds. The academy was surrounding by a ring-sound, the alarm clock was ringing all over the Academy. It was a calm day. The day stated well and bri-…
ZIP. VLAM. CLACK. POUF. TAP. ZWAP. BOUM.
Suddenly, a grey black cloud appeared from nowhere above one of the building near the dorm.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7.39am – 7.40am in Class B…
Noisy. Scream. Cry. Laugh…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."
Silence.
Nothing.
Nada.
"Will you all shaddup?" Said a murderous terrible annoyed pissed voice.
No, it wasn't Natsume, he was trying to sleep with one of his manga over his face. It was a girl's voice, a rude one. And no, either here, it wasn't Hotaru, she was into one of her things. There was a big bad enormous dark aura around the girl. And no, it wasn't… huh… si… yes it was her, the only girl who can have this kind of feeling, only by glaring. As you thought, if you did, it was Shouda Sumire.
She was totally pissed off. Well first, the kiddos meaning her classmates, they were having fun, laughing whereas the situation was kind of critical. Well, she wasn't the only one who was angry against their classmate. The whole gang was getting on their nerves. And even, the two coldest heart and expression thanked her, literally. (It means in their mind and only one knows that.) They were grateful towards her, inside of a little cabin.
BZIIIII. TAP. TAP. CLICK. ZIP.
"Ano… Hotaru-chan. What are you doing since presently?" asked Yuu looking at her with a scared face. (A/N: why does he have this kind of face?)
He wasn't the only who was curious what Hotaru was doing since they entered in the classroom. True, they didn't see her attending to the breakfast time, she who wasn't the kind of girl to miss this important time of the day. So means that she was in the classroom since morning, or maybe before.
BAM. PAF. KRII. BAM. CRACK.
It seemed that she didn't hear them. They all looked at each others.
"Hum. Imai-san. What a…"
BOUM.
That was the sound of an explosion and it was the last sound heard in the room. They looked at what it was but unfortunately for them, it was impossible to see anything because of the grey fog of the BOUM-sound. It began to disappear to show Hotaru outside of her cabin, and finally showed…
"Huh… what is that?" asked someone. They were all astonished by her invention.
Why? Well, for two reasons.
First, since morning she did lot of noise with it.
Second, they thought that will be a big invention as others, but it resulted to a… little thing.(A/N: they couldn't she what she was doing in her little room, but only heard the noise she did because she was in one of her invention, just like in the anime, maybe episode 3 or 4, forgot, in which you have to pay to enter in)
As said, the thing looked like to…
"A silicon chip?" said some people with a funny face.
They all looked at Hotaru with a why-all-this-noise-for-only-a-little-thing-as-it or a-silicon-chip-for-what look. She also looked at them with her unemotional look which turned to a sudden annoyed one. In a no time, they were all hit by a bullet, a violent bullet, with her new version Baka Gun, version 7.
"And it's an old version. The Baka Gun version 8 powers 10 will be out soon with more bullet and more targets in a no time, means for 1000 to 2000 victims, for only 3500 rabbits." Said Hotaru looking to nowhere and to nobody as others were sweatdropped.
Only Natsume had been spared from the terrible bullet. He didn't move at all. He had his manga on his face, his feet on the table. He didn't pay attention at what happened in the class, since his mind was somewhere else. Until…
"It's not a silicon chip, baka." Said an annoyed rather pissed off by their comment.
'Then why did you hit us? You can only say it without doing it, right?' Thought some of them but in return they received another bump, a bump on a bump. She looked at them more pissed than ever.
"I hit you because you said something without looking carefully. And if I didn't say anything that was because you are a bunch of fool." She turned her look from them to her new maybe dangerous invention, and showed it to them.
She was right. A silicon chip was (or is) supposed to be flat whereas here it was a cube or square, whatever you called it, for one centimetre each side. It was black, had something on his top and side, it seemed to be something like antenna: one little on his top and three on each side. It looked like to a…
"HIIIIIIIIIII. SPIDER." Shouted suddenly boys and girls, heard though the entire Academy, even though the city, as they saw it moving its antennas. And they were all jumping on table, as if they saw ghost no… spiders were seen on the ground.
The so-called antennas were in fact legs or arms and the one on his head was in reality…
"EYES. IT HAS 6 EYES." Once again, shouted boys and girls even some were holding each others.
"Bu-but… how can it be… possible? I… I saw an antenna on the top so… so how did it turned out to… be… EYES?" asked someone with wide eyes, big eyes, almost out of their socket.
"Who said it was antenna?"
A HUH-sound was heard. And turned their head to where came from the voice, to see…
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU COME HERE WITHOUT US SEEING YOU, AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO COME THAT NO ONE CAN SEE YOU, AND PLUS NEAR TO IMAI?" shouted an angry blond haired blue-eyed boy. They all nodded to what he said. In responded, he received a smirk from his best friend and best friend of his best friend lover, who was holding her infamous camera, special for HIM, meant for blackmail.
"Whatever." answered him Natsume. "Look carefully to it. You'll see that the so-calledantenna was in fact…" He pointed the antennas and showed them a way to something that was related to… "a computer cable."
He looked at them with a huge smirk.
- Silence -
Some of them had their jaw dropped till the ground, other were slapping their head with their hand or something hard, like table or wall, and some other were laughing to death.
BAKA.BAKA. BAKA.
Hotaru had for the third time hit them, she blew away the smoke coming from the canon.
"Ok. What is the thing then?" asked Natsume while poking it with his finger.
It seemed that the thing was playing with him, as is he tackled a dog. It meant that he was on his back and his legs were in the air, like swimming (?).
"Oh. That." She looked at her hand where was supposed to be her new strange invention living invention. She looked blankly to him…
"Will you stop playing with it? I can't explain it clearly."
"No."
"then." She held out her hand in front of Natsume's eyes and: "it will be 4500 rabbits."
"'K."
He gave her the 4500 rabbits always playing with the like doggie. For the first time in their life, and a million of rabbits had been showed in her eyes, Natsume was smiling as a little boy playing with his dog.
'KAWAII.'
'I'll be rich in a no time. I'll make them for… 500 rabbits each… or is it just cheap.'
'Oh my god… Natsume is smiling… it has been a long time since I saw him with his smile on his face.'
'BUAHAHAHAHA. Should I tell them why he has this smile?'
'Shit… I can't stop playing with it… it looks like to her… oh whatever… it's funny… looks like to a dog.'
(A/N: what was that thought of him… don't tell he dares to compare her to a… doggie
'Huh… Koko you're scary when you're like that.'
Suddenly, flash and scream were seen and heard all over the room which made Natsume to come back from his reverie land.
"Huh" was the only thing he could say.
'What the… Don't tell me… I just…'
'YOU DID'
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. FIRE."
- Silence - Well with the scream that you surely know who it's from, right?
"Then what is it for?" asked the return normal cool Natsume.
"Yeah" said Hotaru as she put back her camera in her pocket.
"Invention n°0280: "Spying Silicon Living Chip". 6 paws and 6 eyes, just like a spider, it could hold on whatever without the victim knowing. The eyes allow to see what happen around directly connect to a remote which can be link to which ever screen. The paws are used for reading his/her thought and also to hang on him/her. Also it resists to anything, water or fire. It can last for years. For only 4500 rabbits." Again, explained she to no one.
"So you want to put it on her to see where she'll go, what she'll do and what she thinks, right?"
"Yes. But if we're talking about the Baka, that would be difficult to read her mind since these past days she seemed to have progressed a little by controlling her Alice."
"Just a question. Where will you put it?" asked Natsume.
"Hum. It's better to put it somewhere on her neck… or maybe behind her ear." She answered him while taking her Baka device from her bag, which could tell her where the Baka was.
"Hum. She normally will here soon."
"Alright. I'll do it."
"Ok. I leave to you. No failure. Or you'll pay for it."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7.59am – 8.00am same place…
"Alright Class, let's… Sakura, Hyuuga. You're late. But since Sakura just came back from the hospital, I'll let you go. Go to your seat. Then let's – Blah Blah Blah – "
While Jinno began his lesson, everyone looked at Mikan and Natsume who went to their seat at the back raw. As Natsume passed near Hotaru, they exchanged a quick glare.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4.59pm – 5.00pm same place…
"Alright. Dismissed. Don't forget that you have a project to do for next week." said Misaki as he exited.
Everyone exited the room all excited to go to Central Town, since it was a Friday, leaving the gang alone. In normally time, Mikan would ask her friend to go there but instead she…
"Hum. Guys, I'll be leaving. I'm tired. So…"
"Alright, Mikan-chan. Just go."
"Thanks, then ja ne."
As Mikan exited the room with a thank-smile, Natsume came by Hotaru and…
"So?"
"Done."
"Alright let's go to your room."
"Rig-… WHAT?"
"I said let's go to your room." Repeated Hotaru as she went to the door.
"Why my room? Why not you lab or your own room?" tried he to defend himself.
"Because your is enough big to welcome twelve people, including you and myself."
"Your also is enough big, since you're a third star… and why twelve? We're nine?"
Paused. Hotaru was already at the door way, her back to them. Then she turned to them slowly and…
"You forgot to count three more people."
Everyone was sweatdropping to death because they thought she will kill Natsume for opposing her.
"3?" Natsume thought and: "Oh yeah."
"Then let's go."
"Tsk. Whatever."
They finally exited the room without knowing that someone was looking at them outside the windows on one of the tree.

5.18pm Natsume's room…
As they arrived to his room, they saw Youichi, Tsubasa and Misaki in front of his door. He opened his big double door and it revealed: a white simple room, it had many rooms inside as a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room, a study and library room, a music room, and of course a bedroom.
The kitchen had all its equipment: fridge, a big one, gas, tables, utensils, etc. the bathroom was big enough to fit 20 people in the bathtub, a big mirror, etc. The living room was normal, usual things with a big television, a PS2 game, game cube, even a wii game, a DVD player, 2 computers: one of them related to the TV. The study and library room had many shield of books, especially of a collection of mangas, a table near the windows and another computer was there too. The music room, as it said, had instrument, normally, there was a piano, a big black piano in the middle of the room, which could be lighten by the sun or the moon.
The bedroom was composed of a king sized bed, two bedside table at each side, and a desk on which had again another computer, and finally a big shield of mangas. There was a soft black carpet, black curtain and the wall was white. There wasn't anything on them. On one of the bedside table could be seen three pictures: one represented Nastume, Ruka and a girl, the other one showed Natsume, the same girl and a man, and the last one stood for the little girl and him. On these pictures, he didn't smile at all but the little girl smiled just like Mikan. She had black raven haired just like him, short hair till her shoulder, like Hotaru was at 10 years old.
"Will you alls top to wander around as little kiddos looking for a treasure?" said a pissed off Natsume as he saw them running all around his room, excluding Hotaru, Ruka and Youichi. "AND DON'T YOU DARE TO TOUCH THESE PICS, PERM?"
"hum. Let's go to the living room." said he calmly as he went to there.
There, Hotaru took a box from her bag which looked like to a remote control. Pointed to the TV, something appeared on the screen as everyone sat on chair, sofa, and armchair or on the ground.
"Alright, ready."
Hotaru switched on the TV with her remote and…
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5.20pm let's move to another place… Mikan's room and POV…
I arrived to my one star room, opened the door and…
"You bitch! How dare you…"
I heard a voice coming from nowhere. I turned my head to see nobody. But I sensed that someone was her who held my arms and pressed me against the wall. It hurt a lot, I tried to free myself from X – person, until my tears went out and my arms turned to be red-black marks. My head was down with my hair covering my face not able to see my eyes.
"Remove your filthy hands from me."
I heard a voice. 'That must be her.'
"What?" said all confused the X – person.
"I said take off your DIRTY hands from HER. Or you want to DIE young."
"What?"
"I warned you."
'I swore I just smirked… oh, whatever. If that could make him go away from me, then it's ok with me.'
And before my eyes, I saw a man standing in front of me, hands holding my arms tightly with a terror look. He suddenly released me and back off. I fell on the ground and I shook all over. My tears flow on my cheeks which made him panicking.
"It's better for you to go before she does something bad to you." said I as I looked at him to convince him to go away.
He gulped, back off again and…
"I… I swore you'll pay for it." He said as he ran away.
I sat there, at my doorway, crying silently. I dried my tears with the back of my hand and got up. I turned to face my door and opened it without any interruption. I entered and closed the door being me, went to my bed, threw my bag to the other side of the room as I threw myself on the bed. I curled myself holding my pillow then put myself on my back. I looked at the ceiling and…
"Let's do my homework and then go to sleep." I said as I lighten and determined.
I went to my desk but before, I opened my windows letting a fresh breeze enter in.
I began my homework with mathematics which I ended it within 5 min. After I did Misaki-sensei's report on which we had to choose one of the plants he showed us and resume what the plant is capable as well as doing some research on its origins, which I borrowed books from the library days ago. I finished it in 17 min.
Now, it's Narumi-sensei's assignment. We had to write a story or a play, on which we had absolutely put a confession between two opposites people, they had conflicts everyday, adding to many obstacles to fulfil there love, and occur to help each other even though the hateful they had. And they had one dream in common.
'Strange. This subject reminds something… oh… whatever.' thought I as I wrote the story within 14 min.
(A/N: Good Narumi XD that was the best homework you ever gave to them.)
History… that was the subject that took me sometimes to understand what Takeshi-sensei asked us to do. I viewed it in all angle as a photographer, I also wrote it many times before began it but nothing. I still didn't understand it. Until something passed though my mind:
"Legendary Alice is an extremely rare Alice that no one can possess it, only the family that heritage it can received this Alice though generation to generation. But nowadays and these past centuries, it has been hard to know who is the heir of it, since we, Alice users, had lost their track in the world because of the war between Alices." That was what sensei told us.
With some research I did these past seven days about it, I didn't find anything good, except what he told us.
"I wonder what kind of Alice is it?" Said I as I reminded what he told us after:
"Takeshi-sensei, what kind of Alice is it?" asked someone.
"Oh, that. Hum… I don't know." said he as he smiled stupidly. Everyone was excited to know it but suddenly they fell their head ahead on the ground.
"But there is only one person who know it." As he showed us his index finger to stand for the number one.
Now everyone listened to him carefully and all interested.
"He's here at the Academy ground. But…" his eyes turned dark which freaked us out to hell. "He is died in the last was." He raised his shoulder as he put a typical stupid mask and look.
BAKA x 100 times.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA. Takeshi-sensei really made us all excited for a nothing." I laughed at that and closed my eyes to remember what happened next:
"OI. What was that for, Imai?" asked sensei to Hotaru who was extremely pissed off by his stupid attitude.
'Miracle. He's alive after receiving 100 bullets.' Thought some student as they saw him being recovered by at most 100 bumps.
"That was for making me into your stupid story." Said she rudely to the teacher.
'Imai being interesting in something besides money and blackmail. Has hell frozen or what?' shouted the stud in their mind. (A/N: Too bad for Koko, I'm sure he's deaf by now.)
"Well, I didn't mean it at all. Sorry." He had an excuse-me-for-making-you-all-excited-for-nothing look. "Well, I did it also because I want you to do an assignment about it."
Everyone looked curious about it again.
"I want you to imagine what kind of Alice it is. As well as telling why it's a Legendary Alice and why the heir of it hide him/herself from being knowing. Of course you'll use what I told you just now and with some little research personal."
And with that the class dismissed leaving everyone discussed the matter than going to enjoying the near coming Halloween at Central Town, since it was the end of class.
"Now I think I understand it a little." Paused I. "The Legendary Alice… hum… I wonder who has this Alice and what could it be?"
I was once more in my dream land without knowing it. I was suddenly snapped out of my world. I smiled widely and…
"Alright. Let's do it before dinner time come." I cheered up and wrote what my mind told me to do.
I finished it in 19 min, if you didn't count the time it took me to understand it… 20 min. it was quiet easy, after understanding the subject itself.
Then it took me 50 min for doing all and counting the 20 min in plus, then it took me in total one hour and ten minutes to end it.
I was quite surprise to finish all of them without any difficulties and without help coming from Hotaru or Yuu.
I looked at my digital clock which showed 6.30pm.
'Early, I have one hour left… hum… what should I do now… ah… I know, I'll take a shower till then.'
I flew away immediately to the bathroom as I unbuttoned my shirt on the way.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
6.30pm Nasume's room…
The TV had been switched off since Mikan was stripping on her way to the bathroom.
All kind of expression was seen on their face: terror, surprised, fascinated, proud or even curious could be seen, adding also furious and blank look.
"How did she finish these home works less than 2 hours?" asked Mochu.
"It took me a complete day to finish his History work." said Yuu with big eyes.
"It took me three days to finish this mathematics problem plus… how did she do it since she hates maths also she's not good at this subject at all." said Koko as he massaged his temple.
"How did she find these pieces of information on these plants that Misaki-sensei assigned us only today?" sait Anna and Nonoko at the same time.
"How can she be that calm on doing her homework since she's a baka?" said Youichi. (A/N: that's a total nonsense, sorry.)
POP.
"Fantastic, she remembered what did happen a week ago." said Tsubasa with a big stupid smile which looked like to a mom being proud of her child success.
BOUM. BAM.
"That was the last straw. How dare you treat her as a Baka? Even if she's one." shouted three girls as they hit all of them.
Koko, Anna, Yuu, Nonoko and Youichi were hit by the Baka Gun; Tsubasa was beaten by Misaki with something that came from nowhere which can't be described; and lastly, Mochu was almost killed by Sumire who turned to be a demon. (A/N: the one in the volume 6 chapter 29 when she received her gift from Yuu seeing that had been graffiti by Koko and Kitsunume)
Only Natsume and Ruka were spared since they were deep in thought.
'She's scary when it comes to Mikan. Good thing that I shut myself, or I will be died by now.'
'Who the hell was that guy? And who was the one who saved her? And what really happened to her? It's not her at all?'
"All right, let's go now. It's almost dinner time and I'm hungry." Said Hotaru with her unemotional mask. "We'll do it again after dinner. And we'll come back here every day after classes and dinner time until we find out what happened to her, all right?" said she as she answered to their thinking question.
"Tsk." Was the only answer she received from Natsume and nodded from others.
"And we'll stay here till then, 'k?" Without waiting the answer she was already outside.
"Whatever." said Natsume as he went outside also.
They all head towards the canteen. And the day ended up with nothing suspicious or abnormal.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8.00pm at the canteen…
"It had been now 10 days since we started to spy on her and nothing happened." Said Tsubasa as his head was on the table.
He wasn't the only one who complained it. All the gang were disappointed to find nothing good except that she had better marks and she'll become soon a two star, with all her good homework she did. She was even praised by the headmaster with her excellent History work. It seemed that was him who corrected it. As well as her story, it turned out to be a play for the next at the Alice Festival, assigned for the Class B by Narumi himself.
"Let's go." Said Hotaru as she went to the door with Natsume who was already at the middle of the canteen.
"Huh… what… but we just arrived?" Complained Mochu with a spoon in his mouth.
"She's not here." Said Ruka as he got up and followed Hotaru and Natsume.
They all looked at each other and followed them to Natsume's room.
They arrived to his room and do what they always did after dinner. Hotaru took her remote and switched on the TV. When they were to watch the TV…
GROWL.
That was stomach call for food.
"There is something to eat in the fridge." Said Natsume to them as Tsubasa and Yuu went to take foods. When they came back, they took immediately what they need to fill their stomach. Under this view, Hotaru and Natsume rolled their eyes and turned all their attention to the screen, where they saw a dark room only lighten by...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"… a full moon. Tonight is a full moon." Said a calm voice.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8.20pm inside a dark room…
"It's beautiful. A full moon two days before the Halloween event. What an ironical situation! Don't you think, Emi-sempai?" Said a little voice coming from the balcony.
It was a girl with auburn long down haired, they reached her hips. She had hazel coloured eyes, which shone under the light of the moon. A little smile was curled on her lips, her red lips. She wore a long dress, a white light dress with many pink laces, it was a sleeveless. She was barefoot.
"You'll catch a cold if you don't wear something." Said a… man voice.
She turned around facing the man, with a sweet smile which could weaken anyone. She faced a man with a white mask wearing many jewels and a black cloak.
"I'm alright." She smiled even more which mad him blushing. "Since I have it."
She raised her hand in front of her, and made sure to face her palm to the moon. And suddenly, a light appeared on it. An orange light appeared which turned to be a red light, which took a ball shape. She turned making herself one round with the red ball in her hand, as it made a beautiful circle shape.
She stopped and looked at the man with a big smile. He looked at her and sighed desperately.
"Alright, but don't come to me to complain that I didn't tell you to wear something that could make you warm."
"Hai." She chuckled as she went to him and hugged him. "Hai. Aniki."
'What the… oh… whatever. Just one time. Just for today.' Thought him as he hugged back, with a little soft smile.
They stayed like that for almost 5 min. When he realized the coward situation he was, he immediately released her as he tried to find an excuse for that.
"It's all right. I understand perfectly." She said as she turned her to look at the moon once again.
"It's pretty, right?"
"Yes, it is." He looked up to the moon and turned his gaze to her once more. He seemed to hesitate to tell her something really important.
"What is it? You aren't here just to keep me company, right?" she asked him always her back to him. He was shocked to hear that from her and then closed his eyes, trying to concentrate on what to say.
"Yes, you're right. I'm not here to keep you company but to tell you that soon you'll have to introduce yourself as…"
"Alright. I'll be there for just that night." She closed her eyes as she said it. She turned to him and looked straight eye to eye. She saw him being anxious though his mask. She walked towards him and put her hand on his face and…
"It's alright. I'll be all right. Since you'll be by my side." Said she with a bright smile as she looked down and put away her hand. She turned her back to him. "Especially her."
He wind blew away her hair gracefully, as she put away her hair from her face and showed up a light smile.
"Everything will be alright, even if it means to be the end. I won't let them do something anything to you, to them, to…" she said that with a gentle expression but it changed suddenly to a serious and dangerous look, as she finished her sentence: "her."
"Mikan-sama." Whispered the man enough for the spies to hear it. "Well then. I'll be leaving and report it to master." He bowed to her as he went to the dark side.
When he was about to disappeared completely, he was caught by two little hands and felt something harm on his cheek. It was Mikan's lips. She just kissed him and a smile just drew on her face.
"Arigatô, Persona-sensei." She chuckled as she released him to let draw a frown look on his face as he disappeared to the dark from what just happened.
Mikan chuckled by his reaction and turned herself to the moon. She smiled to it and said:
"It's soon. It's almost the end of this story but the beginning of a new generation, right? What will you do if I change my fate? The fate you gave to me since I was born, since the last war. I will do anything to protect those who are important in my life and who gave me what is the feeling of being the part a family. And… I'm grateful to her. Since it's her who considered me as a… human and not as a thing. She'll the one and only one who will become my…" Mikan stopped in her speech, closed her eyes, turned from the moon and walked to the opened windows. She put her hands on them and closed slowly the windows behind her. She paused on her track and turned slightly her head as if someone was behind her.
"mistress."
With the last word, she closed the windows completely and walked inside to the room which was as big as Natsume's room. She passed though a bed and went to a door which opened to another room, in which there was a desk covered by many papers. Under these papers were seen a man sleeping. He had blond haired and had a slender body. His face was fine. He had long eyelash. He must be around 25 years old. She smiled at him and took a cover which was on one of the chair, she covered him with him. Unfortunately, his eyes began to open slightly. Full opened, he saw in front of his eyes an…
"Angel-san." Said he as Mikan sweatdropped.
Mikan chuckled at what he said and sat herself on one chair beside him.
"Huh. Oh. Ah. Mikan-chan." He was now awaken and he panicked since he called her Angel-san. Mikan just chuckled.
Who wouldn't call her an angel: she was wearing a white dress, her hair down, the moon lit her, and a smile was drawing on her face.
"I… I'm so sorry, Mikan-chan." She shook her head and smiled at him, which immediately lighten the man.
"It's alright. I'm used to it now. But what headmaster is doing here at this time?"
"Oh. I didn't finish my work yet, since… I was talking to Narumi all the day about…" He blushed suddenly with different shade of red. "you assignments you did these past days, Mikan-chan."
Headmaster was blushing even more which made Mikan to chuckle even more.
"You know, Headmaster, it wasn't something good. I just wrote what my mind told me."
"Yes I know. And… please… call me Seiki. Headmaster is too formal coming from you." He said it as he scratched the back of his head.
Once again Mikan chuckled to his reaction. "All right, Seiki-san."
With that, he couldn't stand it anymore. He fainted under the angelic smile she just gave to him, with a nosebleed. Mikan was all panicked and didn't know what to do. She wanted to call someone but it was beginning to be late. When a name just appeared in her mind, she took her phone and dialled a number and…

9.07pm Natsume's room…
The gang was surprised by what they saw and they suddenly burst out to the funny situation. They couldn't bear it at all, Mikan just seduced an older man without knowing it. Meanwhile, Hotaru took pictures from the video of the angelic Mikan's smile, in her eyes the sight of money. On the other side, Ruka had fainted as Yuu, Nonoko, Anna and Misaki. For the right time, Koko and Tsubasa were laughing to death the Headmaster's reaction towards Mikan's smile, and their laugh increased each time they remembered the scene. Poor Mochu, he had been strangled by an irritated Sumire, for X – reason. And lastly, the best part of this moment was Natsume who kept up his cool attitude from outside but inside he was melting by recalling the supreme smile she ever gave, and he also was fuming because she showed this kind of smile to another person than him.
(A/N: how can he look all cool and calm since he's melting inside? Plus he can stay up even though the situation… what an actor… XD)
♪One had a dream, but why was it forgotten
To be with the cold hearted you, always keeps me in high hope…♫
That was a song coming from Natsume. He seemed to be in total deep thought since he didn't hear the sound. He was suddenly found on the wall with three bumps.
"Are you awaken, now?" said a monotonously voice as she blew the smoke away. Natsume always had his calm mask as he was out of the scene.
Whe he came back from his mutual fighting mind, the song stopped singing, so he didn't hear it.
"What was that…"
♪One had a dream, but why was it forgotten
To be with the cold hearted y…♫
Natsume blinked as he heard the song, and took out from his pocket his phone. He answered it.
"Mochi mochi?"
"…"
"Hello?"
"…"
Natsume began to loose his patience.
"Alright, if ya don't anything to say then, bye."
He was about to hang up when he heard a hysterical voice on the other side of the phone.
"NATSUMEEEEEEEEEEEEE."
He and the others recognized immediately the voice which belonged to…
"Mikan?"
She was crying like there was no tomorrow. As they looked at Natsume they turned their head to the TV on which they saw a panicked crying girl all hysterically.
'Better do as we don't know anything.' That was what they all thought.
"Wha… What's wrong, Mikan?"
"huh…"
"ah…"
"eh…"
Everyone looked at him as they tried to listen to what she said. Koko couldn't read mind, no he can but… it was too confusing him since everyone's thought had been mixed up to his. (A/N: the sound on the TV had been shut because she will surely hear her voice twice and that would be too suspect.)
Something was wrong in the air. It began to be…
"hot… don't you think it's beginning to be extremely hot, here?" said Mochu as he began to strip himself. In return, he received a fist on his head.
"Don't. Strip. Before. A. Girl's. Eyes." Said an angry Sumire.
That was true. Things began to light up a little. It was Natsume who was extremely pissed off and the face he had wasn't good to be seen by anyone.
"OI. STOP BLABBLING ALL NONSENSE LIKE THAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND A WORD. SLOW DOWN OR YOU WANT ME TO BURN YOUR HAIR TILL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT OR WHAT?" shouted Natsume as he tried to not burn what was near him, so means his friends. (A/N: I think we will have a bunch of friends toast ;;;;;;)
"huh"
"All right. Tell me what happened from the beginning and… do it simply, will you." said Natsume with his calm self.
"I… I… I think I… I… KILLED SOMEONE."
DOOM.
Everyone sweatdropped by what she just said, as some of them had hit the ground with a big impact as they received a big rock on their head. Natsume was slapping his forehead. Hotaru, Ruka, Tsubasa and Misaki were sweatdropping. Koko was laughing to death as he tried to not make any noise. And the others were hitting by a rock.
'Even if she did well on the last exams, it doesn't mean that she's always as stupid as ever.' thought all of them.
"What should – hic – I do, - hic – Natsume?"
"- sigh – alright. Tell me where you are right now?"
- Silence -
"Polka?"
There was a strange silence between them, even if it was by the phone. It seemed that Mikan was a little… uneasy by the question he asked. That was what the screen showed them.
Mikan was looking everywhere with a concerned look as she tried to find what to say to him.
"OI. Do you want me to help you or not?" asked he to her as he looked to the screen.
"YES…"
"So. What's the problem to not telling me what you are?"
"There's nothing…"
"Then?"
"Demo…"
"What?"
"I don't know if… it's a good idea for you to come here."
"What? And why not?"
"Well…"
Mikan tried to explain to him but it seemed that she can't.
"Alright. Then the so-called death man is under your responsibility, if he's really dead."
With that statement, Mikan began to panic as they all raised their eyelash to her stupid reaction.
"Then, Polka. Ja ne." He said that as he hung up in slow motion. He knew she will stop him from hanging up and letting her alone with her anxiety.
"I'M AT…"

9.59pm – 10.00pm somewhere near the…
"Say…" said a pissed annoyed voice ever heard in the life time of… whatever it is.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DORM AND SCHOOL? AT THE ALICE HQ?" shouted all his lungs out as he breathed in and out and massaged his temples.
Yeah, it was Natsume who was :
1) pissed off;
2) tired because he ran;
3) angry after Hotaru who didn't let him use one of her useful invention;
4) happy to be alone with her.
'Now I understand why she didn't want to tell me where she was.'
Natsume looked around him as he saw computers, 6 big screens, a big circle table and… papers all over the place, as if a storm had passed by saying hello to them.
Natsume sweatdropped as he saw a mouse poking a man blond head. 'a… mouse? What the… RUKA.'

Somewhere else…
ATCHOOOOOOOOO.
"huh."
"Hehehe… I think he knows."
"Oh… whatever."
'I think I'm dead.'
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Back to MixNatsu… Natsume's POV
- Sigh -
I looked around me trying to know what had happened here before I came since this place was clean. I recalled the scene between what I saw on the screen and… that. It's totally different.
'What a mess.'
- Hic -
I looked where the sound came and saw little girl crying silently, trying not to do any sound. I sighed as I scratched my head.
'Whatever about this place. Let's just see…'
"Where is the dead man?"
When I asked it, she seemed to come back from her misery state and grabbed my arm. She pulled me to where I see a mountain of papers.
'What the… don't tell he has been engulfed by these… huh… what am I saying… he collapsed because of…'
Bad move boy. I just recalled the smile she gave to him and felt that my nose was about to…
"I don't know what I should do about it, Natsume." She said to me as we stopped in front of a man swimming in his own blood.
'God. No wonder she said she may be had killed someone. This amount of blood is out of the proportion'
I saw before my eyes the same scene as that day. I knelt and took his pulse.
"Nat – Natsume?"
I sighed and sat down scratching my head.
'What the… are they related or what?' I looked up to a worried face as she was about to cry. 'It's totally out of proportion. How can they have a huge amount of blood? Are they even human?'
"Na – Natsume… he… he's dead, right?"
Shit. Now she's about to cry.
"Huh… don't cry if you don't let me to answer you."
She looked at me with a strange look. 'Is it a relieved face or a terror one? No it's a monster look.' I frowned at what I just said. I sighed and put myself comfortable against the wall. Or is it a desk?
"He's yet dead." Her sad look turned to a relieved one. Her frowned smile changed to a big smile. "But is he even human?"
After hearing that, Mikan grabbed me by my uniform collar and shook me violently. (A/N: they couldn't change into their usual clothes since Hotaru grabbed them to his room without letting them a moment of respite.)
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? HE'S PURELY HUMAN, AS YOU AND ME. DON'T YOU DARE TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT BEFORE ME AGAIN, UNDERSTAND?" she shouted in my ears as I can't breath normally.
'I think I began to be deaf.'
She finally released me as I breathed in and out, once again. She stood before me with her arms crossing.
"And… what said you that he's maybe not human?"
"Huh… well…" Before answered her, I think to what word should I use. "Well, he's still alive after letting out this kind of amount of blood." I pointed to the blood as she looked at it also.
She suddenly turned blue. And I saw she began to panic again.
"But don't worry, he's alive." I said rapidly to ease the atmosphere. She lightened again and had a little smile on her face, which relieved me a lot.
"Alright, let's bring him to his room. But…" I looked around and sweated a little as I looked at the room. "let's clean up this mess." I looked at her as I wanted to ask her what had happened. But something told me not to do since I felt that something wasn't right. And I was right as I saw a paper flying around us… many papers were to.
I sweated on the thinking that this building had some kind of ghost. I looked around and saw that all the papers were dancing around.
"Ok. I see." I put my hand on my temple trying to think clearly about the situation I was in. "So that was the reason why this room was a total mess. Right?"
She nodded slightly and blushed. Wonder why? 'FOR HER STUPIDITY' I massaged my temples once more. It was pissing me off, but couldn't help since it was her.
"Alright, let's clean it rapidly and bring him to the hospital. But first…" I got up, turned to her and: "GO CLOSE THIS STUPID WINDOWS BEFORE ALL THE DOCUMENTS ARE TO FLY AWAY BY IT."
"A… HAI. HYUUGA- SAMA." She shouted it as she got up in army position and went immediately to the windows.
'Wait a minute… what did she call me? Oh whatever. Let's just finished it and go to sleep. I didn't sleep for almost three month, counting this week.'
