Chapter 13:The sudden Guest(s).
Natsume was confused as he remembered what Persona told him.
'What does he mean by assist her with your little friends? Could it be he wants us to help her? I will understand if it was the DA Class Ability but why them?'
Koko looked at Natsume with a worried look. He was about to let him alone not invading his privacy but when he caught a thought.
'What was that just now? The thought… who the owner is? I think I heard this voice somewhere… I should tell him.'
Koko went to Natsume and brought him away from the others as they didn't see them going away.
"Welcome to Halloween Party." Said the Headmaster as he took the mike. "I thank you all for coming here tonight once a year to celebrate this particular day. As you can see we have a guest" he showed to the girl as the light lit her. She stepped in front and bowed down. "She will be our special guest for tonight only…"
(A/N: let's skip about it and go to Koko and Natsume issue.)
Far away from the stage, two boys were having a private meeting.
"What are you doing?"
"I need to talk to you?"
"Then why did you take me so far?"
Koko looked anxious and nervous, and serious.
"What's wrong, Koko?"
"Natsume, I just caught a thought of someone."
"And?"
"And it's really strange."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, that person said something about the guest."
"And what about her?"
'That may help me to know why he wants me to assist her and protect her.'
"I know you want to know it."
"You…"
"That's not important. It's about that girl."
"Well, what is it?"
"That person said something like: Will she be able to do it until the end? It was better if she tells them about her and about today event? If that Imai girl didn't do it, she won't be alone there, even if she has us, the teachers. What I'm afraid of is she will die and leave behind the one she loves without letting them know what she did for the Academy. And who she IS really? If she dies… what will Hyuuga do, if she disappears suddenly? She asked us to tell them she was killed by the AAO when they attacked but… it will be hard. Because knowing the Black Cat, he will go out of the Academy and enter the AAO, if it's again in activity. And then he will revenge for her death. Her best friend will cry day and night for what she did before in class not excusing herself to her. She will feel… regrets. She will loose all her ability of doing something news and her want for money will disease. She and others will close on themselves not letting anyone in their space. And it won't make her happy even in the other world. And that was all I heard."
Natsume stayed silent.
"Are you sure that's what you heard?"
"Yes."
"Isn't it the mix of many thought?"
"No, I'm sure of what I heard. And it's the first time that I can hear clearly a thought without disturbance."
"So… that means that guest is none other than…"
"Yes it seems to."
"So she's Mikan?" said a voice from behind them.
Natsume and Koko startled and turned around. They saw the gang behind them.
"Since when did you come here?" asked Natsume.
"Since the beginning." said Hotaru.
"Koko, why didn't you tell us too?" said Anna.
"Huh… I…"
"Nevermind. Let's go back there and we'll go to her."
When they were about to go back to their initial place, someone went to them.
'What does he want now?'
"Hyuuga-san." Shouted he.
"What do you want, Takaoji Akito?"
"Persona wants us to be on alert starting from now on." Said he as his brother came.
"Why?"
"Because… huh…"
"What?"
'Why is he so hesitating?'
'Should I tell them about Mikan-sama tonight action?'
"What action are you talking about?" said Koko suddenly.
"Huh?"
'Shit I forgot they have the Reading Mind Alice user.'
"Yes and it's me."
"So? What is it, Takaoji?"
He looked hesitating. It was then his little brother who talked.
"Mikan-nee-sama will stop the AAO action, tonight."
"Aki."
"We must tell them. Like that we will be able to assist, Mikan-nee-sama."
"Hum… Yes you're right but…"
"But she asked you to not, right?" said Hotaru.
Akito nodded. And Hotaru brought out something from her cape. It was her Baka Gun. She pointed it to the stage.
"No. If you do that, everything will be down and you will… - Gulp – make her angry." Said Akito as he held her hands which made someone jealous.
'DON'T HOLD HER HANDS.'
"OW. And don't shout." Said Koko falling down. They looked at him as he held his head. Akito released Hotaru's hands as he looked at Ruka. He smirked and turned around.
"Well, Hyuuga-san better stay alert or big consequence will be held. And I think you are assigned to assist her, right? Then you better not do a mistake in this mission, or catastrophes are to be waited. And your friends are welcome to join, if it's for to help Mikan-sama's action." Said he as he disappeared in the crowd with his little brother.
The gang went back to their place, as Koko caught a think.
'Thank you Akito-kun for warning them.'
'It's my pleasure, Mikan-sama.'
'Thank to you too, Aniki. You let your thought to be caught by Koko and letting them know the situation.'
'I'm at your disposal, Mistress.'
'And Koko, does your head hurt you again?'
'No… Huh? Mi-Mikan-chan?'
'Yes.'
'You… you can…'
'Yes. I'll tell it with the others. Just wait a minute'
'Alright.'
After Koko talked to Mikan, they arrived to their place as she connected to their thought.
'Hi there.'
'Huh?'
'It's me, Mikan.'
'Mikan?'
'Yes. And you don't need to talk loudly, in your mind is enough.'
'Oh. But… how come you…'
'I'm telling you right away. But I must do it quickly before they come.'
'Ok.'
'First, Hotaru I want your excuses.'
'Huh… You…'
'Imai-san.'
'I'm sorry. I didn't intend to do it. It went out alone.'
'Ok. Second, Nullify is not my only one Alice. I have two Alices. And no, Telepathy Alice is not my second Alice. It's Stealing, Copy and Erasing Alice, my second one. So that means I have more than… 5 Alices.'
'How many?'
'Well… let's say that I have… all the Alices of the Academy, adding to those who live in Central Town and some members of the AAO.'
'WHAT?'
'OUCH. Don't shout. Now I know what you feel, Koko.'
'Hm.'
'What do you mean by somemembersofAAO?'
'Well…'
'Don't tell me you take missions?'
'…'
'So that's why none of us had missions these days.'
'No. well yes but…'
'They forced you to.'
'NO.'
'OUCH.'
'It was my decision. And I didn't want anyone to be hurt.'
'Since when did you know it?'
'Hum… well a week before I act strangely.'
'That must be around 2 month ago?' (A/N: sorry I forgot when she really starts strangely… I didn't count the day... I know one week ago they started spying her, one month ago she came back and there was the accident near the HQ GA with Reo, and week before it was the accident with the animals… then yes it's that… 1 month and 3 weeks around.)
'What happened?'
'Well, that day I asked Hotaru to come with me to Central Town but she preferred to blackmail Ruka-pyon than coming with me, and Natsume told me to go away so I went alone.'
'Then?'
'Then we met.'
'Who said it?'
'Me.'
'Wait a minute… that voice…'
'Yes, it's me. Minami Kaya'
'Are you sister with Minami Ai, Mai and Sai, of the Fantastic and Horror Shop?'
'Yes, I am. What did you think about the shop?'
'Cool but…'
'Frightening? Dangerous?'
'YES.'
'What is it, Hyuuga-san?'
'Now I think about it… it's exactly the same time when you didn't come to DA class.'
'Well it's my fault.'
'What?'
'Well, not really. It's THEIR fault.'
'What do you mean? What happened?'
'Well, we met in Central Town. Some guys had made fun of her and tried to play with her too. Yes, play, in that meaning. So I came to help her but when I used my Alice, something wrong happened.'
'What is it?'
'The guys were afraid of Kaya-san and used me as a shield.'
'So when I wanted to use my Alice, they threw at me Mikan-sama.'
'If I find them I'll make their life a hell.'
'No need to, Aniki already did it.'
'Tsk.'
'What happened then?'
'Throwing me Mikan-sama, my Alices began to mix between them.'
'You mean you have two?'
'Yes. Reading Mind and Manipulate Soul.'
'So, you and Mikan have not switched but Kaya's soul came into Mikan's body. And that is how she began to act really strangely.'
'And it was with her who I partnered with the night before she avoided me completely and we suspected her to act strangely.'
'Hum. Yes.'
'What? And you didn't tell me?'
'How am I supposed to tell you anything since she was sent to coma for almost two weeks?'
'So you mean that the day when the accident happened, it was you who was acting her?'
'Yes, kind of. I tried to act her but sometimes she came back.'
'But she was still unconscious until the night at the hospital. And what about your Alice?'
'Yes. And sometimes I could use her new Alice when she's conscious but only a second.'
'Did the teachers know anything back there?'
'No. Only Persona-sensei knows.'
'So can you tell me how come you call him onii-chan?'
'…'
'…'
'So you were really spying on me?'
'Huh?'
'I thought that something was wrong with me these past days. I felt something was… how to say it… trying to enter my brain… yeah something like that.'
'You better say that something was sticking to you.'
'Huh… Yeah. That's right.'
'So you knew it.'
'Kind of.'
'So? You didn't answer to our question?'
'You really want to know it, Hyuuga-san?'
'Yes.'
'Then, I let her tell you. Mikan-sama?'
'…'
'Mikan?'
'Oh, we'll talk about it later. She's talking right now.'
'Huh?'
"I'm really glad to see a lot of people tonight. And as Headmaster told you, I will be here for only a night. And some of you may ask why should we wear mask? And why only tonight? Well I think that this morning, with your teachers, they told you about the event why do we have a Welcoming Ceremony and when did it start?"
"So that means that you are that important and influence person they told us?" shouted someone in the crowd as people nodded.
"Well, yes it's me."
"Then, that means also that you are a student here too?"
"…"
"…"
" – Sigh – Yes."
"So, what's your name?"
" – Chuckle – I think that I can't tell you now."
"Why?"
"Because you don't need to know my true name now… maybe when the Party ends."
"Ooooh." Said some people really disappointed.
"Are you pretty?"
Silence. They waited for Mikan's reply but instead of her reply, a shout was heard and it was the one who asked the question.
"ARGH. Fire! Someone put the Fire away!" shouted he. No one dared to move a finger. Perhaps because of shock.
'No. the only one who had this Alice is him. So that means that girl is…'
'Thank you Natsume.' Said sarcastically someone. (A/N: I think you know who. ;;;)
'Baka. Now it's obvious.'
'It's his fault.'
'You're too obvious, Natsume-san. And you love her.'
"Will he be ok?"
Everyone sweatdropped. Who wouldn't. Well not everyone but her attitude made things really clear to them who she is.
'It's sure now. It's her.' Thought everyone.
'She's too dense and care a lot for everyone.'
"I have a question."
"Yes. What is it?"
"Why are you here? And why only tonight?"
"Because things call me to be here."
'What a simple answer. She sure began to be someone else.'
"But what I want the most is everyone to enjoy this night with the one you love."
'And end this stupid war now.'
'Huh? What war is she talking about?'
"It's better for you to stop reading her mind freely." muttered someone to another one as he nodded and looked down.
"Shall we begin the Party now, before something bad happen?"
"YES."
"Alright, but before that I would like everyone to listen to me carefully. To those who are outside of this Party know about it…" Mikan stopped speak and sighed. She looked behind her, to Headmaster as he nodded. She turned back her head to the crowd and licked her lips. "If something happens, I want all of you to cooperate with me and with the teachers. That would be the last thing I will ask you to for tonight." Said she with a sweet voice. "So for now. Let's begin the Party."
"YEAH."
Mikan did a movement to the Back Stage where a CD flew by itself and put itself on a... CD player. Music started to play and people began to walk to the dance floor with their partner. They were all enjoying this time. Forgetting what Mikan told them.
(A/N: if you guess right, she used her most seductive voice with a determined look and serious expression. Everyone was bewitched by her voice. And you guess right (if you do) she seems to use the Pheromones Voice, but in true, it's her TRUE voice. Yes it's complicated but it's true. Well, here it's true.)

At the back stage, Mikan was with Persona and Headmaster as they talked about things.
"So how things are going?" asked Mikan to Seiki (Headmaster).
"As you said, they are waiting in the Northern Wood."
"Where is Bear-san?"
"He's with Serena-san." Said Persona.
"What about the animals?"
"They are all somewhere here, just like you asked us."
"No one is in the Northern Wood, right?"
"Yes."
"Are the illusions in place?"
"Yes they are."
"And…"
"Everything ok. Don't worry too much or you'll turn even more ugly." said Persona teasing with her hairs.
"And he's right." Said sarcastically a voice which annoyed suddenly Mikan.
"WHAT?"
"Huh… Calm down, Mikan-chan."
"You…" Mikan's aura turned dark suddenly as things around her began to float.
"Oh no. You better excuse yourself, Black Cat." Said Persona as her backed away from them and disappeared in the darkness. Headmaster also went away from them.
"Huh… what? You want to kill me with that?" said he as he pointed to table, chair, flower, etc.
"Oooh no." Suddenly knives appeared from nowhere and went to him. Natsume ran away from them as Mikan manipulated them with agility. Hotaru tried to use her Baka Gun.
"Don't ever try, Imai." Said Mikan.
Hotaru didn't move at all. She looked down. Her eyes were following Natsume, as she saw them going outside of Central Town, and disappearing into the darkness.
'Sorry, Hyuuga. You must challenge her alone. I can't move and… she's scarier than ever.'

"Ok. Is everything in order?"
"Yes they are."
"How about the Party?"
"The Party has begun."
"Ok."
"…"
"We start now."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Natsume ran for his life but something caught his attention. As he ran, he went near the brushes. He suddenly jumped as the knives went on. They didn't follow him but his chase was in fact a trap, a diversion. And he knew it after he saw something was wrong with them, because by the time he must have been hit by on of them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."
'Ouch that must hurt a lot.'
"It took you a long time before realizing it. And everyone said Hyuuga Natsume was the smartest guy in GA."
"Well, sorry I was running for my life."
"Yeah. To bad I didn't have a camera to catch it."
"Huh? Didn't that Imai girl took it?"
"Well, she couldn't."
"How come?"
"Let's say she was… afraid."
"WHAT?"
Ok let me explain the thing. After Natsume jumped, he went to Mikan who was the only with him. The others were at the scene. As the knives went to the brushes a scream was heard. Black men came out of them and went to the two of them. They fought as Mikan used her powerful Alices: Ice, Water, Five, Earth, Wind, the five elements. Natsume was using his Fire Alice and was fighting in Martial combat, Mikan too used it. And while fighting they talked each others as if nothing happened.
To the Dance floor, all students of GA were fighting against Black men too. And some of them had a necklace with a green gleam, which made them have a power different from their nature one. It was Mikan's power in it. And it was powerful. Not only were the students fighting but also the people living in Central Town. It surprised the enemies but they were able to face the difficulties.
Let's go back to Mikan and Natsume's fight.
"You serious?"
"Yes. She couldn't move at all."
"Give me back the idiot yet dense pigtail happy-go-lucky girl."
"EH!!!!"
"What? It's true. You're stupid, idiot and… damn dense."
"Well, sorry for being like that. And… did I miss you?"
"…"
"OoooooO. The famous Black Cat is having feelings for the densest yet stupidest girl in the whole campus of Alice."
"Stop that. And…"
"What now? Lonely boy? Huh… why are you smirking?"
"You're really stupid."
"WHAT?"
SMACK. Let me note it again… they ARE fighting WHILE speaking AND it scared a lot their enemies, because they are putting their… how call we it again… feelings (?) which means… angry, pleasure, and else.
"Well you just admit you AREthe densest yet stupidest girl in the whole campus of Alice. That's what you said just a moment a go… Strawberry."
"ARGH. HYUUGA NATSUME!!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU SOME OTHERS DAYS. AND… YOU PERVERT!!!!!!"
Her shout was sure powerful. And it added to the necklace, which turned red stone, a BIG power as the one who wore it were… - Gulp – you know what happen then… yes… it became a… disastrous view. They became all strong because of Mikan's power. But it lasted for only 10 seconds. As you all know Mikan's mood change immediately after only… 5 seconds.
Then her target changed suddenly to one poor guy who had faced her a second ago. While Natsume was playing with fire on hairs of others.
"Now tell me where is she?" said Mikan as she held on some guys by their collar.
'She's really terrifying. Good thing I didn't have her as an enemy or now I won't be in this world for long ago.' thought Natsume. (A/N: and it's only now you say it.)
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because…" she closed her eyes then opened them. They revealed red eyes. "I'm HER."
The guy suddenly disappeared. The others were afraid. They thought Mikan was a little harmless girl. Unfortunately for them, she had killed almost half of them.
"So? Tell me where is she and I will let you go away."
"Why should we tell you it? And what tell us you will really let us go?"
"Well. It was better for you to shut and tell me right away." And dark appeared engulfing them completely. "Because I never lie. And I keep up my promise."
She turned around. Natsume was really shocked by Mikan's attitude, change and behaviours.
'Who is she? And where did My Mikan go?'
"Let's go to the scene. She must be there and others must be in trouble."
He nodded and jumped branches to branches. They went out of the Northern Wood since they were deep inside it. (A/N: when Natsume ran, he went to the Northern Wood to be far away from the others and thought he would escape from her. But it was Mikan's plan and she succeeds in it. She's really becoming a smart girl here.)
As they were out of the Wood and in the entrance of Central Town, they saw some house in fire, people lying down, and they were all Black men.
"So it works." Said Mikan smirking to the view.
"OI, Polka. What works? And who are you looking for?"
They walked in the City through death corpse and blood.
"My plan and it's…" her eyes gleamed in their red crimson light. "my mother."
They stopped in their track. Natsume was shocked. He didn't say a word.
"What?" was the only word coming out form his mouth.
"Yes, my mother. She's part of the AAO. And now I will do everything to stop this war between Alice. Since she wants me then why does she need to involve the other?"
Mikan was angry. She looked down. Her fists were clenched. Then Natsume grabbed her hand.
"Let's go. You know you're not alone so, you can count on us too."
She looked at him as he turned his face away blushing (as always), she smiled and they ran to the Dance floor. Arrived there, they saw everyone fighting and students were lying on the ground. They weren't dead but injured. The teachers had a hard time fighting against three people. And the gang was fighting against some Black men with difficulties as the others (students) were exhausted and can't fight anymore.
Hotaru was almost out of bullets. Ruka called his friends but he had to stay back because he was injured. Nonoko used her Potion, some of them worked but almost all was gone. Yuu tried to use his Illusion but he began to be tired. Anna helped Nonoko with her Potion. Koko was fighting and helped Mochu who was levitating men to others. Sumire was playing cat-dog with them. Misaki was fighting using her Alice, so there was many Misaki seen and protected some students like that. Tsubasa was using his Alice to block anyone and like that they were down fastly but it tired him. Youichi was scaring them with his Alice, he was also wearing a necklace which was red, and it made his ghosts really real.
There was also the students from DA class who was here and took it as a mission. Ai, Mai, Sai and a man looked like to Mai were helping them. Ai used her inventions which were really powerful and gave some of them to Hotaru since she was the only one who can do it with her. Mai used her Water Alice as Dragons appeared. Sai used his Pheromones Alice but different from Narumi, it manipulated you as if it was the Shadows Alice.
"Rei-nii-san, I need Ice here." Shouted Ai as she was holding a gun doing three times her height.
"Me too." Shouted Mai as her Water began to dissipate.
"Then here it goes." Shouted the man with long red haired.
He stretched his arms above him as Ice came out of his palm. Then he moved them to the two girls. He threw two big piece of ice. Ai put her gun towards him as the Ice came in directly. Mai grabbed the ice in her palm just like he did and it turned out to be water. And he threw small ball ice but sharp to go through the heart.
This sight made Mikan twitched and Natsume was angry. He was about to help Ruka when Mikan grabbed his hand.
"What's wrong, Mikan?"
She held his hands as smoke came out. Then she released him. And out of nowhere, a dark sight appeared and surrounded everyone. When it disappeared, only students and the teachers were in sight. Natsume had almost a heart attacked.
'I thought they were done. She did the same thing before but they didn't come back, I will kill her for sure.'
He was holding his heart tightly and breathed in and out.
"She's not here." Muttered she.
"What?"
"She escaped."
"My, My, My. Look at who we have here." Said ironically a girl voice as she clapped her hands.
"What a great scene do I have here."
She was on top of a building with a red hair man wearing sunglasses and had a mafia position (A/N: I'm exaggerating here, I don't know how to describe the position --'''': his foot on the barrier (?) and arm on his leg. It's really lame sorry.) And a blond hair man in a cool attitude and having a formal position. She was wearing a white jacket, and black attire, she wore a black blink band. The red haired man wore an all black clothes. And the blond haired man wore an all white attires.
