Part 2. She's what?
Later that night, as usual, Natsume arrived from a mission. He's really tired. Everything would be in pitch darkness if not for the mid light flashed from the posts, he might not be able to see without a help of his Alice. Then, he noticed that one of the rooms in the girls' dorm still had lights turned on. Curiosity just aroused from him plus, the boys' dorm is just far away for him to continue. So, he decided to check it out.
Natsume jumped swiftly form branch to branch to reach the window of the still lighted room as if he had full energy. But what he saw inside shocked her.
The room was in emptied silence but someone was there.
'Mikan?'
Natsume slowly knelt down and shook Mikan hard. Something like hot liquid uncontrollably formed at the edge of his ayes. His eyes had a darker shade of crimson that portrayed emotions for the first time except anger but loneliness and confusion. Why?
What could it be what he saw anyway? What is making our kuroneko cry? For the first time maybe since that day that he became 'emotionless'.
"Mikan? Mikan!!!!!!! Open your eyes, idiot? This isn't funny."
But Mikan didn't budge. What he really saw was someone or probably a body settled on the bed. The figure, yes, she's Mikan. But as Natsume saw how she slept, so peaceful; she decided not to continue her plans to shock her. He was just getting an interest on why she's here at this time of night, no, this time of dawn probably.
But Natsume's heart raced like wildfire seeing her pale stature. Her lips, why blue? She's really lifeless, on her appearance. Now, whiter in complexion and so beautiful. But why is she sleeping like she's dead?
He touched her hand. It made his eyes go wide; made him tremble. Why is she so cold? Natsume checked for her pulse. But none. However how many times he tried to check on her, it seems that the signs show that………
"No!!!!!!! Polkadots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What happened? Why are you,… sleeping?"
Tears freely flowed out. He doesn't care. What's important is Mikan and he just can't believe his eyes. He had been denying it for what seems like eons, but he knows; he loves the girl. His tears will be worth for her, for this great pain.
Mikan's without life. No doubt.
