Thank you to all of the people who guessed! There's still more time to guess though, because it will probably be given away in the next chapter. And, please, review if you like the story!
Normal
Natsume, Ruka, and Hotaru had just busted into Mikan's assigned room in the hospital. After seeing everybody else dead, the trio decided to search the room, finding no trace of Mikan or a dead body. Hotaru quickly scanned the room, "There was a struggle here." she observed, looking right at the rumpled covers and scattered hospital equipment. After hearing her observation, Natsume's head snapped directly to the one place he prayed he was wrong about. The window. As if fate were against him, the window was most definetely open.
"Oh no. No no no no no no..." He chanted, as if trying to make everything go away. "What?" Hotaru repeatedly screamed as Natsume looked all around the window. He wouldn't even listen to her, and Ruka was still looking at everything that was scattered around the floor. She'd had enough of this. Instead of shooting Natsume like she normally would've done, all she did was calmly walk over to him, grab him by his collar, and smacked him across the face so hard he got an instant pounding headache. Before Natsume had a chance to ask why she had sone that, Hotaru spat, "Quit your damn mumbling and if you know anything, and I mean anything, about what happened to Mikan, you sure as hell better tell me before I knock the red right outta your eyes." Her chilling eyes accompanied with her voice was enough to give him not only the chills, but make him immediately comply. "W-well, I-I think that Mikan was kidnapped." "No dip, you know more, and I know it." Natsume was hesitant, after all, he didn't want to sound stupid by saying that he's basing all of his assumptions on a dream that he had. "So, that's what it is, huh?" Hotaru said, suddenly with a grey helmet on her head with multiple colored lights flashing. And in her head was a radar gun. But it's obvious that it was used for different purposes. Natsume looked horrified as he just realized that she had been listening to his thoughts. "Hey, you have no right to do that!" said Natsume sharply. "I can do whatever I want." Hotaru replied, unaffected, "Now, tell me about this dream you had."
Natsume
As I explained my dream, I got a lot of reactions from Ruka, but next to none from Hotaru. The only reaction I got from her was when I talked about Mikan's bad ass ninja skills. Her eyes widened in, well, I can't really explain it. Somewhat a mixture of disbelief, surprise, disappointment, and... Pride? Either way, she nodded throughout all of my story, taking it all in understandingly. When I was done speaking, Ruka started bombarding me with questions, obviously disbeliving nearly all of it.
" I think it was just a dream. Handy timing, yes. But none of this could've really happened, right Hotaru?" He asked, looking to his girlfriend for support. But as she stared at me, thinking hard, she shook her head, disagreeing entirely with him. "No. I think absolutely everything Natsume said was correct." Everything? "Even the part where Mikan went all bad ass on her captor?" I asked, unbelieving that part for myself. How could she believe this? "Yes, even that part. Her being a "bad ass ninja" as you put it, is completely believable to me. Now, move so I can examine the window." She pushed me out of the way. Didn't I already examine the window? "Yes, but you were in a bad state right then. I doubt you were thinking straight." Damn! She still had that helmet on! She's still reading my mind! "You got that right." She said, smirking. All of our eyes widened as she whipped out a test tube and tweezers and picked up a hair. Just a single hair, but DNA none the less. Hotaru stood up and turned around with a devilish smile on her face. "Come on boys, lets get outta here." She said. But I still had a question. And her helmet was actually off right now. "Hey, wait for a sec. Why didn't Mikan's fighting surprise you?" I asked. But she didn't even turn around. All she did before walking out the door was say, "There are some things even you don't know about her, Hyuuga." And with that, we headed off, back to the Academy.
Mikan
I woke up but I hadn't opened my eyes. I heard voices, so I slowed my breathing back down and listened for any information I might need later. "-riously? She beat the freaking crap outta you? I thought you were supposed to be this big, bad SOB, but you couldn't take down one girl with 3 cracked ribs and a concussion! I would kill you right on the spot if I hadn't gotten to her when she wasn't looking!" yelled an angry voice. "I-I'm sorry! But, she has the nullification alice! And I had no idea she could fight like that! I think there's more to her than we originally thou-" "Of course there's more to her!" interjected the first voice, "I don't want to hear your excuses. You should've expected it anyway. She's perfect..." he sighed as I felt myself being stared at. What was this guy's deal? "Anyway, I'm sorry about what happened, but I must get back to the academy." The second voice said. I recognized it as the man I had knocked out earlier. How much time had passed anyway? I heard a pair of feet walk out. I assumed it was the man who needed to get back to the academy... THE ACADEMY? Was he going to kidnap someone else? Maybe Hotaru? Or even... Natsume? I miss him so much, but for now, I have to focus on acting like I'm asleep. The first guy is still in here. I can almost feel his eyes on me. Suddenly I heard footsteps walking toward me. I remained physically calm as I felt him sit next to me on the bed. I did my best not to cringe as I felt his hands stroke my face, feeling my cheeks, eyes, nose, and forehead. Finally, he gently brushed my lips with his fingers. Running his fingers over them. Admittedly, his touch made shivers go up my spine. I am so confused. I thought only Natsume could do this to me.
I felt ashamed at my disappointment as the guy got up and walked out the door without making a sound. He's good. I belong to Natsume! What am I doing, getting these feelings when someone else touches me? I'm a terrible person. But, I'll get back to the man I love as soon as I get out of here! I waited for the near-silent footsteps to fade outside the door before, I jumped up, observing my surroundings. But before I could process anything, a blinding pain shot through my body. I must've taken it too hard on myself during that fight. I swear I re-cracked those bones. I sank to the soft, carpeted ground with a groan, holding my side. I think I was a little too loud though. I heard a pair of footsteps along with an, "Oh my gosh, is she alright?" I recognized the voice as the guy who had been giving me the oddest feeling earlier. He was running to the door to help me, alone.
And as the door opened, I saw...
OOHH SNAP!
Don't know why I did that. But this was a chapter that was really fun to write! :) I'm just hoping you'll all be ready when you find out who kidnapped her! And don't forget, if you want to guess at who or what it is, just PM me! Of course, please review too! But don't put your guess in the reviews please!
