Chapter 8 – Another Mission?

Morning came. Mikan do her daily routine and when the class dismissed, Mikan went to her dorm to rest because she was tired.

"Silver Moon you have a mission". Persona appeared from nowhere.

"What is it Persona?" she asked.

Persona explained to her what's her mission and then she quickly went to the location and she accomplished it successfully. But she is badly wounded, she overused her alice again. She was walking back to her dorm when…

Natsume's POV

I am sitting under the Sakura tree thinking of this brunette girl. I have a bad feeling about what was happening to her. I got up and walk towards my dorm when I saw a figure walking along the academy halls. A figure of a girl suddenly showed up. I think she is badly wounded. Then I came closer to her…

"MIKAN!" I screamed.

"Natsume... you're here" Mikan said in a soft tone.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!!!!"

"I think I overused my alice again with my last mission" Mikan said as she fell on the floor, unconscious.

I carried her and immediately went to the academy's hospital. When I was their, I look at her closer. There's a 3 gun shot in her body, on her left legs, on her chests and on her right arm. And her whole body was full of bruises. When the nurse saw me, they came running towards me and they told me to come back tomorrow as they snatch Mikan away from my arms. They proceeded to the emergency room. I waited there…

End of POV

After about 3 hours and 20 minutes…

Her friends and the teachers were there… they are all worried about Mikan especially Natsume and Hotaru. Every seconds passed was like a year for them. Finally after a few minutes the doctor came outside the emergency room.

"How's she?" Narumi asked worriedly.

"Is she going to be alright?" all of her friends asked even Natsume.

"Yes, she's fine now but her life is shortened because she overused her alice again. Her left leg is badly shot so she can't walk for a few days. She needs a personal nurse."

"I will be her nurse" Natsume immediately volunteered.

"That's good. You can now visit her in her room and please keep silent, she might wake up. She needs to rest because her energy is drained." said the doctor as he went away.

They all went to her room. She's in a deep sleep. Everybody bought her something. They placed it on the table beside Mikan's bed.

Yuu and Koko brought her chocolate cake.

Anna and Nonoko brought her a comic book.

Sumire brought her flowers.

Mochu, Misaki and Tsubasa brought her balloons.

Youichi gave her a teddy bear.

Narumi, Jinno, Misaki, Serina and Noda decided to gave her fruits.

Hotaru bought her howalons.

Ruka gave her a book and Natsume bought her a necklace (it's simple. It is silver with a letter NxM in it. How sweet!)

They just stay their for an hour. They didn't talk. They we're watching Mikan.

One by one they started to leave her room because they were all tired and sleepy. (by the way, it's already 2:00 in the morning) only Natsume didn't leave her.

Mikan slept there for 2 days as Natsume is always by her side.

On the third day

Mikan woke up with full of energy. Her wounds in her body were gone but her leg is still in pain. She saw Natsume sleeping at her side and then she remembered what happened to her.

"Arigatou Natsume- kun for bringing me here" Mikan said.

"Your welcome Polka-dots" Natsume was awakened by her voice.

Mikan sits up, she try to move her legs…

"Ouch… ouch…it hurts" Mikan said painfully.

"Don't try to move your legs little girl, it's not yet healed." Natsume said.

Then the nurse came in…

"Oh, I see you're already awake. You can go now but you have to be careful next time. You cannot move your legs because it's badly wounded. I guess it will be days before it heals. You may go now". The nurse said then leaved.

Natsume carried Mikan…

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mikan asked.

"Carrying you polka-dots". – Natsume

"But I can do it myself"

"Oh, come on… You heard what the nurse said and you'll be staying in my room until your legs is healed."

"WHAT?"

"Don't worry little girl… I won't do anything to you…"

"Oooowwwwww"
