Chapter 12: Halloween's Event.
In GA ground, everywhere was decorated in black sheet, orange ball, white web, well it was the same things as Central Town. Everyone was happy and enjoying the day, because they were waiting with impatience the night, but they had to attend classes till noon. Even if they had class they all enjoyed it because they didn't have anything to do, except talking about Halloween's event with the teachers. Only one teacher the class had lesson and it was obliviously Jinno's class.
This class was unfortunate to have him then. Because the teachers decided to let the class have the same teacher for the entire morning lesson with who they began with. And that class had to end up with the no happy player teacher. And the class in question was the Class B. Some students didn't listen to the lessons and others were in their deep thought about the night coming.
Only a group of student wasn't really into the event. It was the gang. None of them was into the lesson even the top student wasn't. They were thinking about what had happen yesterday.

Flashback
"Welcome to Fantastic and Horror Shop." She stood up and walked to one of the ghost.
"Miya, take him to them and tell them: "I'm waiting for the big day. And then let's begin the party"." Miya bowed and took the men. They flew through the wall and disappeared.
"Alright, you others go search for these two. They must be in that room. Also take what I need from them. I think they must be out because of some… drugs they had put." Ordered she to half of the ghosts. They went through the wall in different ways. She turned to the left ghosts.
"Alright. Let's clean up this place and make it the most beautiful place for tomorrow and for welcoming the guest who would to spend their night here." Said she as she winked at them. The ghosts blushed and did immediately what she asked them to. (Can ghost blush????)
She turned around leaving them the task. She went to the gang. She lift her hand and touched something like a red line.
'So it was where the line was? No wonder they laughed at us.' Thought the gang and blushed, even Natsume and Hotaru even if they tried to be all cool.
Mai and Persona chuckled as they turned back to the girl.
"Mistress." Said they looking at the girl.
"It's alright. The barrier is down now. Come out, I'll wake up the little boy." Said she as they move out but suddenly was stop in her track.
"What is it, Mai?"
"Hum…" she looked at her and the girl frowned suddenly.
"Ah… yeah… you right. I must going." She turned around and went to the door. She disappeared in process. The gang was surprise and remembered about something.
"Where is Mikan?" said Hotaru looking everywhere. They all looked but didn't find her. It was when Natsume turned to Persona who was also cleaning the place. He grabbed his arm and turned him to face him. He had a fire ball in hand as Hotaru had her Baka Gun pointed on his head.
"Where is she?" asked they at the same time.
Persona looked at them and sighed. "So the Black Cat has been weakened by her too. As well as the famous Ice Queen, but since you are her best friend it's probable normal." He turned his head with a smooth look.
Natsume let him go and backed away, as well as Hotaru.
'It's not him at all. What does he mean by too' thought Natsume. He looked at Koko and said: "Read his mind." Koko then concentrated in reading his thought as it came by itself.
"Hum. I wonder since when did I become all smoothly and nice. And why the hell am I cleaning up this place too. And why am I here for?... oh whatever. I'm too tired to think about it. Because of that freak gay guy, he was running away from him because of… because of… oh shit. Where did he find these pictures? It was that time when that other freak sweet voice came here to attack and when she practically lost her control. If I get a hold of the bastard who dared to sell this picture, I'm going to…" said Koko as he frowned suddenly and turned around and plotted himself into Anna's arms.
"WAAAAAAAAA… Aniki what are you doing?" shouted Mai as she was holding a flower… huh what was supposed to be a flower. Mai cried when it disappeared totally.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA… Meanie." She cried loudly until Persona came back to reality. He looked around and…
"Shit. Sorry, Mai-chan. I didn't mean to do it." Persona tried hard to calm her down. 'Shit. If only I didn't remember it. This wouldn't happen.' Thought he.
"Mai-chan?" called a little voice. They looked at where the voice came from.
"Mikan-nee-sama." Cried Mai and went to her and hugged her tightly.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAA… Aniki is meanie. He killed my favourite flower." Mikan looked at her then at Persona. He was really embarrassed. She smiled sweetly and patted Mai's back.
"It's alright. I'm sure he didn't mean it. And… he was surely distracted by something. You know how Aniki is when he thinks about something, right?"
"Demo…"
"Mai. Look at the tree."
She turned her head to the tree and her face lit up. She had a big smile. Mikan smiled sweetly and all dreamy. The tree had blown to a beautiful tree. It had many white flowers. It shone because of that. It was as white as snow.
"Isn't it better? When a flower dies, another one is born. Just like us." Said Mikan in her ears, she was all amazed by the scenery. She nodded and went to Persona and hugged him.
The gang also were amazed but came back to their sense when they saw Mikan. She looked at them. Suddenly she was hugged by the girls.
"Ano?"
BAKA. BAKA. BAKA.
"Where have you gone?" asked Hotaru with her Baka Gun in hand.
"Ouch that hurts Hotaru."
"I don't care. Just answer my question."
"I…"
"You?"
"Eto…"
"Mikan." Said a threatened voice.
" – Gulp – I… I…" she turned blue when she saw Hotaru holding tightly her gun. She suddenly pressed the button to shout but it didn't go to her. She didn't have anything. The bullets had been dissolved in… a mouth.
"Huh… what the?"
Ghosts had surrounded Mikan. They had protected her from any harm. The bullets Hotaru had shouted were engulfed by the ghosts. They ate them. And turned to Mikan, they played with her. But it seemed like they were checking if she didn't have bruises.
THUD.
They looked where the sound came from. They saw near the door, two bodies laid down unconscious and drooling. The ghosts went to Mikan and gave her bags. She looked at them and smiled.
"Arigatô gozaimasu." And they disappeared through the wall again.
The room was clean and tidy. Mikan got up and went to the tree. She did the same thing as before. She closed her eyes and murmured the word "open". A light appeared in the middle as it cut the tree in two but remained to be one at the top. It revealed a little boy awakened. He was reading a book. He looked up which startled her.
"You… you are awakened?"
"Yes."
"Since when?"
"Hum…" he put his finger on his chin. "just now." He looked at her and smiled. She went to him and took him in her arms. They went to the gang as the tree closed by itself. She put him down.
"Alright. Must we go back to the Academy? Before dinner time end and…"
GROWL.
"and we starve of hungry." Said she with a sorry look. The gang nodded and started to go to the door, but she stopped them to.
"Wait. Here your clothes for tomorrow. I expect that will be an ok with you." She gave them their respective bag. She turned to Mai. "Mai-sempai, can we use the door to go back rapidly."
"Oh. Sure. Of course you can. Since at this hour there isn't bus on work anymore." Said Mai as she went to the window. She closed the curtain and opened it, instead of showing the window, it showed a door, a golden door with many ornament in roses shapes. She turned to them and said:
"2 by 2, a boy and a girl, please." She smiled at them.
"Mai!"
"Alright, alright. Just joking." She scratched her head. "Go through this door one by one. If you are afraid, just close your eyes or think about something good and happy, and will be smoothly." She opened the door and a white light was seen. One by one passed through it as they said good bye to Mai, Ai and Sai, who were awaken. When it was Hotaru's turn she stopped before Mai, looked at her and said:
"Your Alice is Invention, right?"
Mai looked at her surprised and smiled slyly. "Yes." Hotaru had a rare smile on her face. And she went through the door. Ruka was after her and was blushing madly.
'She's cute when she smiles… what am I talking about?' thought he and went in.
Mai and others were laughing. Leaving behind Natsume and Mikan. Natsume was about to go through the door when he saw Mikan talking to Persona. He couldn't hear their conversation but they had a serious look. He saw Mikan nodded as Persona looked at him.
'I'll ask her about it when we're back to Academy.' Thought Natsume and went in.
At the other side of the door, Natsume arrived as the others waited for the last left. Only Mikan wasn't with them yet. Then she arrived and the door closed behind her. She turned to them and before she could say anything…
"Where were you back then?"
"Who were these guys?"
"What did Persona and you talk about?"
With the last question, no body dared to say an utter word.
"What did you say, Hyuuga?" asked Hotaru. He looked at her and didn't say anything. She turned her head to Mikan to have an answer. Mikan was sweated; she didn't know what to say about it.
'What should I do? They must not know about it or they will be worried about me. Oh I know.' Thought Mikan.
"Eto… he told me to go to see… Narumi-sensei because he has to give me something."
There was an awkward silence. They looked at her suspiciously and the tension brought down.
"Alright. If you say, it's to meet Narumi-sensei. Then you must go before he worried about you." Said Yuu with a relieved look on his face. As well as the others, even Hotaru and Natsume who kept it in them.
"Yeah. Then I'll see you tomorrow in class." She ran to where Narumi's house was. She shook her hand and said: "Good night." As she disappeared in the dark.

9.37am in Class B…
The gang was so deep in thought that they didn't hear that someone had burst into the class.
"S-s-s-sorry for being late, Jinno-sensei." Said a brunette at the door.
Everyone looked at her. As usual she was late but… this time it was extremely late. She had 1 hour and half late. They then were afraid of what Jinno could do to her. As some of them were thinking he will use his light to toast her, or told her to go to detention, or to resolve the problem he just put on the board, or to do some chore all the day, or to not go to the Halloween's event. But instead of that he just said:
"Go to your seat, Sakura-san." He turned back to the board and continued the lesson.
"Hai, Jinno-sensei." She went immediately to her desk and took out her things.
Everyone was surprised by his attitude and they all listened carefully to the lesson. After one hour since she came in class, Jinno stopped his lesson and asked them…
"Does someone know what will be attending here?"
"Hum… Halloween." Said someone as the others nodded in agreement.
"No."
They were astonished by the answer. They looked at and whispered to each other.
"But… tonight is Halloween, sensei?"
"Yes it is but it isn't what I wanted to say."
"Then what is it?"
Jinno sighed and sat himself down. He looked at them with serious look. No knowing to them, he was looking at a certain person. Only four people saw it.
'Should I tell them or let them know it during the event?' thought Jinno.
'No. it's ok. You can tell them since I ordered the others teachers to while coming here.'
'Alright then.'
"Didn't you see that something new is held in the event?"
"Huh?"
"Do you mean the welcoming ceremony?" said Hotaru looking at a paper, which looked like to a program.
'Where did she get it? Oh whatever.'
"Yeah. The Welcoming Ceremony."
"What is it?"
"As it's said we will welcome someone really important to the Academy. That person is not only important but it's someone who has a big influence in the Alice World. Luckily for you, that person came here for only this event."
"But the past year, why didn't we have a Welcoming Ceremony, if it's an important person?"
"Well it's simple, that person didn't show for almost 19 years counting today."
"19?"
"Yes, 19. I remember clearly that day. It was like today a bright day yet gloomy. Everyone was waiting for this day because they can do whatever they want, like pranks, using their Alice all they wanted. But that night as the program said, a Welcoming Ceremony was attending, and no one knew that day was a day where all worries and problem are shown." He stopped and cleaned his glasses.
"Shown?"
"Yes, Halloween in some way is the day of troubles. Like you know it's the day when ghosts come out and play around. Well, you'll surely ask me that in the past nothing had happened back then, that's because only when that person came that everything began to be out of control."
"But if that person is the reason of the problem, why doing a Welcoming Ceremony?"
There was silence between them. It seemed at any moment Jinno wanted to kill the one who asked that question.
"You won't understand it. It's not because he/she caused the problem but because he/she is the target of everyone. That persona doesn't a day off. And its power is the best off of anyone here, even Hyuuga fire is not possible to rival with it. It's a unique power. But if it ends up in whoever hands, then the right problem begins right away."
"So the problem is not that person but the one who able to get it?"
"Yes."
"So. If it's dangerous for him/her to come out, then why doesn't he/she stay away from…"
"From?"
"From…"
"Here?"
Silence. No one dared to say anything. It was true that was less dangerous if that person wasn't involved in.
"Yes, that would be a right solution but… it's something that no one can do about because…" Jinno looked out the window and sighed.
"Because that power reveals itself not now. It reveals when the right time is ready. You can be already here, in the Academy since you're a child without knowing having that power within you. But it's later on you know it existence. It's practically the same thing when you use your Alice. At first you don't know if it will threaten your life or no but after some time you discover it. So it's hard to predict who the owner is."
They looked at Jinno and were quiet.
"In fact it's the Legendary Alice user who's coming?"
"Wh-what are you saying, Hotaru-chan?"
"Well, it seems that someone is enough sharp to relate these two things. Well, we're talking about Imai." Said Jinno as everyone was shocked how he was talking. It was as if he was praising her.
"Yes, it's the Legendary Alice user himself who's coming here. But… it will be the first and last time you'll see him/her."
This everyone was excited and can't wait the night. They whispered to each others and forgot it was Jinno who was the teachers. But he didn't do anything.
'I'm sorry I think I said too much.'
'It's alright. I didn't expect from someone to relate them together, but like you said, we're talking about Imai Hotaru.'
'Yes, we are.'
"Alright I dismiss you all."
"Eh?"
"But it's only 11.10am?"
"What? You want to have lesson than to enjoy the day? It's not a problem if you want to continue the class." Said Jinno who was at the door and looked at them evilly.
Everyone shook their head and sweatdropped.
"Alright then dismiss." He opened the door.
'Jinno-sensei, you forgot to say something.'
'Huh?' he stopped in his track and looked back.
"Oh, yeah before I forgot about it. Everyone must wear a mask during the event."
The attention of the student went to the teacher.
"You must wear a mask that is related to your costume, if possible." He was about to go out when someone asked a question.
"Why?"
Jinno looked back again and said: "Well it's the higher up decision."
He went out and closed the door, letting the only thought heard by Koko: 'Thank you for reminding it to me.'
'You are welcome, sensei.'
The answer startled him as he got up suddenly and looked around who the thought belonged to. But he didn't find the owner because there was to noisy and his head began to hurt him more than before.
"Koko you alright?" asked Anna.
"Urgh… my head hurts me a lot."
"Again?" shouted she as everyone looked at them.
"What's wrong?" asked Yuu with a worry face.
"His head hurts him again."
"Again?" this time it was the gang itself who had shouted, except for Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka.
"I gave him something against his headache even a potion that Nonoko gave me last night but… it seemed to not working." Said Anna.
"Let's bring him to the nurse then." Proposed Mochu. They were about to go out of the class when…
"Choko Matta." They turned around and saw Mikan standing near her desk. She looked at them and searched something from her pocket.
"What's wrong, Mikan-chan?" ask Nonoko as Mikan took out all her things out of her bag because she didn't find what she wanted in her pocket.
"Where has it gone? I'm sure I put it in before going." Muttered she enough to be heard by the others.
She looked everywhere in her bag even her things on the table, in book, on the floor, in the desk.
"Found it!" shouted she as she held a little box, which looked like to a…
BAKA. BAKA. BAKA.
"Ouch. What was that for, Hotaru?"
"It's for your stupidity."
"Why?"
"Because you were about to give him a candy. And you waste our time." She turned around and went to the door.
"Ca-candy?" shouted Mikan as she kicked a desk in front of her. It startled everyone, even Hotaru. It was the first time they saw Mikan that angry. It scared them a lot.
"What…" said Hotaru who was about to shout her again, but something seemed to stop her in her track. It was her best friend look.
"Huh." Was all she can say.
"I'm not that stupid to give him a candy. You should at least wait me to get out what was in that box." Shouted she all pissed off by her action.
"I was about to give a pill that will ease his headache but also his Alice Attractive."
"Alice Attractive?" asked the others.
"Yes. I supposed that some thought come to you without you trying to read the owner himself, right?" Koko nodded.
"Then here's the pill to ease it and let it come to you instead of thinking how to stop it, or it will hurt more."
Koko took the pill and a second later he didn't have anymore his headache. He was back to normal.
"Thank you, Mikan-chan." Koko smiled at her.
"But… how did you know he has this problem?" asked Sumire suspiciously.
Mikan looked at her and turned her back to them. She put the box was in her pocket and her things in her bag back. She took time to answer them as she went to the door without looking at them. She stopped at the door and said:
"I know someone who has the same problem. So I asked him today if I can have some pill for Koko." She looked at them at the corner of her eyes.
"And I didn't know that you can hit someone without knowing what the true meaning was. I thought you knew me better. Wasn't that what best friend are?" said she and slammed the door.
It shocked Hotaru and the others. It was the first time Mikan talked to them really coldly and her glare was really sharp and it could pierce your heart at any time. There was an eerie silence in the classroom.

12.00pm in Fantastic and Horror Shop…
"ARGH!!!! How dare she hit me since I wasn't going to give him something that useless? A candy… Hmph… she's funny, giving a candy will be the last thing I'll give to someone who has a headache. It will increase it even more."
It was Mikan. She was pissed off as she hit a balloon, using her Alices. While Ai and Persona were arranging the room for the night even, it scared a lot Sai and Mai who were kneeling next to her location in the room. In the room, we can see a model wearing long black dress with laces, the sleeves were long enough to hide the hands and large, it was a low-cut but there were laces which were crossing each others, a long black cape was attaching to it, a white mask covering half of the face, a black pointed hat, and lastly black shoes, they were ballerina.
"I can't believe she hit without waiting me to get out it. Just because I took out a box which looked like to a candy box. I can't believe."
BOUM.
'Calm down, Mikan. You don't want the place to explode before the party begins?'
"No, of course no."
'Then, calm down. And don't think about it. You'll do what you want about it AFTER the party. Understand?'
"Yes, I understand."
'Right, then, go help them to prepare everything. And go to the HQ GA with Aniki to discuss with the teachers.'
"HAI, Kaya-nee-san."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
At the same time, somewhere else in the Academy…
"Calm down, please."
"Please, Imai-san, don't cry."
"It's the first time, she talks to me like that and her look was the one you hatred someone."
"Stop crying."
"It's not my fault if I hit her, it went itself. I didn't mean it."
"Hotaru-chan."
Silence mixing to crying sound.
"Let's go look after her and tell her you're sorry."
"Yeah, let's search her. Maybe she'll understand it after you tell her what you think about it."
"No, she won't."
"Hotaru-chan/Imai-san?"
"How can you say it if you didn't try it at all?"
"I know that all."
"You know, you say? If you know she won't forgive you, then why did you hit her?"
"Ruka."
"So?"
Silence with sobbing sound.
"So?"
"Ruka, stop it."
"You see. You didn't think twice before hitting her. Just because she acted like an idiot, you hit her and look how it end up. You are her best friend, yet you hurt her."
"Ruka."
"She knows that you hit her because this is how you show her your affection but here you just hurt her emotion and her trust as a BestFriend."
BAKA. BAKA. BAKA.
"You didn't need to rub it in even more, you lover animal."
"That's better than anything."
"Le-let's search for that Baka."
'Was that me or she just stuttered and blushed?'
BAKA. BAKA. BAKA.
"You didn't see anything. Let's go now."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"To everyone, I asked you to prepare yourself to go to Central Town for the Halloween Party. I repeat, to all student of GA, get dressed in your costume and go to Central Town. The Party will be held at 9.00pm, which means in exactly 2 hours and 20 min." said a loudspeaker through GA ground.
Everyone went to their dorm and wore their costume.
"Where has she gone?" asked an annoyed raven haired girl on her duck scooter.
"She's nowhere to be found in GA ground." Said a pale yellow haired glasses guy.
"Let's go wear our costume and meet up to the Sakura tree. Then we'll look for her again before the Party starts." Proposed a blue haired girl.
"Yes. Let's go prepare ourselves then search for her again."
"Ok. See you guys at the Sakura Tree in 25min."
They nodded and went to their room, leaving behind two guys.
"Huh. Natsume, should we go to?"
"Go ahead Ruka."
"But…"
"My costume is easy to wear."
"Hum. Alright. I'll see you at the Sakura tree then."
"Hn."
As Ruka was out of view, Natsume went to the Sakura tree. He sat down and took out his manga from his pocket. He felt someone coming to him.
"Oh. What Hyuuga-san doing here, alone?" said a black haired guy around his 17 years old walking to him with a little boy around 9 years old.
"And what the Takaoji brothers doing here?"
Natsume and the 17 years old boy looked at each others throwing death glare.
"We are looking for Mikan-nee-sama." Said the little boy.
"Aki!"
"Mikan? And for what?"
"Huh. The Principle wants to speak with her. And I don't know why."
"…" Natsume looked back to his manga.
"So?"
"No need to look for her. She's already at the Principle lounge." Said a voice coming from the darkness.
"Oh Alright. Then we will go prepare for the Party. Let's go Aki." They walked away leaving Natsume alone with the stranger.
"What do you want?" said rudely Natsume.
"Nothing. There is nothing particular. Just telling you that you don't need to look for your little girlfriend, she will be at the Party when it'll begin. And don't look at me like that, nothing happen to her. And I wont do anything to her." He turned around but stopped.
"Oh. Before I forgot, I would like you to not a semi-mission. Watch out the girl who will be introduced at the beginning of the Party. If something happened during it, go assist her with your little friends too. Understand?" and he disappeared in the darkness.
"Tch." Natsume got up and went to his room to change because he had only 10 min left.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
15 min later back to the Sakura Tree…
"So you say that she will be at the Party in 1 hour and 55 min?" asked Hotaru who was wearing a purple dress till her knees with short sleeves, a long cape, a pointed hat and boots. Her hairs were down till the middle of her back. And her mask was white covering half of her eyes only.
Natsume nodded. He was wearing a black cat costume. How should I describe it? It was sure he wore cat ears, a white mask just like Hotaru's one. In fact his costume was simple, he was wearing a black t-shirt and black baggy short. He had a collar on his neck with a red bell and a black band on his right wrist. Only that, he looked a lot to a cat.
He was holding Youichi in his arms. He was wearing a pumpkins costume. He wore an orange hat with its root, a shirt, a pumpkins shorts and green boots with orange marks. He held a pumpkins basket on which eyes and mouths were on and laughed. It was a lively costume.
"So, shall we go to Central Town and wait for the Party coming to see her?" said Ruka holding his rabbits in hands. He was wearing the rabbit's costume in Alice's Wonderland. He had his bunny ears, a white shirt with a black jacket on it, a black short till his knees and black boots. He had a watch in his jacket's pocket, the one the rabbit had in Alice's Wonderland.
"Yes. Like that we won't be too much because some student will go there at the last minutes." Said Sumire. She was wearing the Stepmother's costume in White Snow. The same she wore in the anime, playing the stepmother: a white red top long sleeves, a red blue collar, a blue skirt almost to her ankle, blue shoes and long shocks, her hairs were down since you couldn't tie them.
Anna and Nonoko nodded to her. They were wearing practically the same costume as Hotaru, except they had long dress and long sleeves. Anna's costume was dark green and wore ballerina, the same colour. Nonoko's was dark blue and wore boots, like Hotaru, even they can't be seen.
Yuu wore a Dracula costume. He had a dark blue cape outside and red inside, a white shirt with a dark blue jacket, a dark blue pant and formal shoes. His hairs were flattened by gel. He didn't wear his glasses but took them with him if something happened he had them. And of course he had the famous Dracula's teeth.
Koko and Mochu wore dwarf costume, the same in White Snow Spectacle. They wore green shirt (long sleeves) and short till their knees with an orange belt, and orange shoes looking like to small boots, they wore an orange hat too. You had to the costume their Elf ears. They looked strangely evil, like that.
Misaki wore an angel costume. It was simple too, just like Natsume's. She wore a white dress till her knees and nothing else on. She wore plate sandals with lace up to her knees, she had angel's white wings on her back (obvious). Above her head there was the famous golden halo, which wasn't attached to a stick behind her head, it seemed so real.
Tsubasa, on the contrary, wore a devil's costume. It was also simple. He wore a black shirt (short sleeves) with a black tie, a black pant, and formal shoes. He had his devil's black wings, they were little, like the bat had. And strangely he had two horns. They were little but real, they seemed to.
And all of them had a white mask covering half their face, like Hotaru and Natsume.
(A/N: I'm sorry for the lame description. I didn't have much idea here. And poor Koko and Mochu for their costume, that was my last idea. I'm really sorry.)
"She has a strange taste about the costume but… they are good enough." Said Mochu as he looked at his costume.
"Yes that right." Said Misaki as Anna, Nonoko and Sumire nodded.
"But don't you think it's a little weird." Said Ruka.
"What is it?" said Yuu.
"Well, nobody knew that we need a mask for the Party. And it was only today we know it."
Everyone stayed silent. They looked at each others.
"Yeah that's right." Exclaimed they.
"We'll know it when we will see her there. Let's get in the bus." Said Hotaru emotionless.
They went in the bus. As they expected there was practically nobody in. when they arrived to Central Town, every shops were closed but replaced by stand in front of them. They were selling foods, balloons, games, etc.
The gang walked to the place where people were beginning to gather around the Place. But only the GA students were allowed to be there. So before the Party began, people played around. When it came, they can stay but out of the playground for the students.
The gang decided to go to play to the stand until 8.50pm. Like that they will search for Mikan for 10 min.

Somewhere else…
"Alright, it's tonight. We'll attack when the Welcoming Ceremony began. So prepare everyone to act quickly."
"Yes, Madam."
"Is everything in order?"
"Yes they are."
"Then, let's move and wait in the Northern Wood, it's the closest place."
"Yes."

Somewhere on GA ground…
"Is everything ok?"
"Yes they are."
"Then, let's be in alert. They will attack in any moment."
"Yes, Headmaster.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes. I am."
"Are you sure you…"
"It's alright. I prepared myself for that."
"Alright, if you say."
"Headmaster. Mistress. Shall we go?"
"Let's go."

8.56pm in Central Town…
Everyone was here now. The students were gathering in front of the stage waiting for the Party began. They were all enjoying the moment.
The gang wasn't enjoying the event. They looked around for their friend but didn't find her at all, and it irritated two particular persons.
"Where is she?"
"Calm down, Hotaru-chan."
"How can I calm down? Are you sure she will be here?"
"Well, it's what he told me."
"And I don't trust him."
"You're not the only one."
"If you didn't trust him, then why…"
"Alright, Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Halloween Party. Tonight is the night when ghosts and spirits come out and do prank to us." Said someone on the stage. (I forgot how we call them.) "But before we continue on, let's welcome the Headmaster and his guest…" said he as he gestured to the back stage as the light went there.
Then a man walked on the stage in formal costume wearing a white mask, the same as the gang, and accompanied by a girl. She was wearing long black dress with laces, the sleeves were long enough to hide the hands and large, it was a low-cut but there were laces which were crossing each others, a long black cape was attaching to it, a white mask covering half of the face, a black pointed hat, and lastly black shoes, they were ballerina.
(FB) "Oh. Before I forgot, I would like you to not a semi-mission. Watch out the girl who will be introduced at the beginning of the Party. If something happened during it, go assist her with your little friends too. Understand?" and he disappeared in the darkness. (End FB)
'So it's her I should look after and assist her with… what?' thought Natsume.
Here a new chap... RxR please... the next is coming...
