Angels

Chapter Ten

Me: Good evening!

Mikan: Hello!

Natsume: Hn…

Mikan and Me: -_- You're no fun

Ruka: Iceyicecream does not own Gakuen Alice.

Anna: Nor the characters.

Nonoko: Tachibana Higuchi owns both of them

Luna: Shut up and let the story start you idiots.

Hotaru: (Shot Luna with her Baka gun)

Me: Enjoy!

I woke up to find myself lying on Mikan's bed. I looked to the side to find Mikan laying on my arm and lightly snoring like she usually did and curled up to my side. I smiled and moved a few strands of hair from her face and heard her mumble "Natsume" and "I love you". I couldn't help but feel like the luckiest guy on earth! I got a second chance at life (somehow) and I also got to keep the girl of my dreams with me. I turned and kissed her on the lips. Her lips were soft and warm…but then turned rough and cold. I opened my eyes to see Mikan's eyes closed and how she was before only dressed in black and pale white…she was surrounded by a large amount of Sakura blossoms. "What happened?" I whispered.

"She was shot trying to protect you, you idiot!" Imai screamed as tears rain down her face, "Why didn't you block it?"
"I don't…" I started but then I received a slap to the face.

"She loved you so much yet you didn't even try to save her!" Anna screamed as well, "She could have lived if you tried to remove the bullet! You're a doctor aren't you? What kind of doctor are you then?"
I felt so confused…"But…I'm supposed to be-"
Dead?

I turned around to find myself surrounded in darkness. "Who's there?" I yelled.

Death

I shook my head and chuckled. "You're pretty messed up God." I said as I looked up, "Sometimes you take it too far."
Don't you believe I'm Death?

"Not in the slightest."
Then I'll prove that I'm Death. I will kill the one most precious to you and show you I am Death.

Suddenly, there was a bright light and I could see through it that was pointed at Mikan. "Mikan." I whispered as I extended my hand.

I couldn't touch her…my hand just went through the picture. My eyes widened with I saw a black form, hung over Mikan and Mikan started to gasp and clasped her own neck to make the thing release her. I screamed out her name and tried pounding through the darkness around me but it was futile. "Please." I begged as tears ran down my cheeks, "Leave her alone."
I looked up at the picture once more and Mikan was back on her bed sleeping peacefully.

Anything?

"Leave her alone."

The dark mass around me felt like it was all moving and mocking me at the same time.

And who will stop me?

"I will."

Death laughed at me once more.

You are nothing more then a weak canary that can only sing and fly.

I gave a look of disbelief at Death's metaphor. "Then I will sing my song to God to give me the power to protect her."
Will he actually even give you power? He let you die if he were actually there helping you wouldn't you sleeping soundly by your girlfriend?
"That may be true, that God did not help me but, he gave me a second chance at life and I'm grateful." I said quietly, "At least I'm not a miserable sap that can only scare people and nothing more."
Minutes of silence that felt like forever pasted and then slowly the darkness disappeared and light slipped through the cracks of the darkness. I blinked a few times to find the blind white light in front of me that had an inviting feeling. "Well done." The light said.

I sighed. "Let me go back to Earth already…let me live."
"I can not do so."

"Why the hell not?"
"Because the person that you love the most still does not acknowledge your presents and is still having mixed emotions about you."
"DAMN IT!" I screamed, "Why can't you just let me go back! I'll give you my entire loyalty when I come back! Just let me go back!"
"I'm sorry Natsume, you can't…you must at least do this one task to regain your body."
I slammed my arms against what was holding me and it shattered like glass. I screamed but God did not help me. I opened my eyes a few second later to find myself some how sweating and screaming though no one could hear me. I look at the date to find it was already December 24…one day before Christmas and the day of Christmas Eve. I looked around to find myself in Mikan's room. She was sound asleep and was holding a stuffed bear. I floated over to her and sat on the side of the bed and tried something. I focused some of my strength on making my hand solid and once I was successful I moved a few strands of hair from Mikan's face. I smiled when I felt her silky chestnut hair through my fingers once more.

Mikan turned and opened her eyes lazily and looked at me. I gasped when she reached out to my face and smiled happily. "Natsume." She whispered in her cute delicate voice I loved so much, "I love you."
I started laughing and believe it or not tears ran down my face. "I love you too." I whispered.

I could see a smile on her face as she fell back to sleep. "I'll come back." I whispered as I made my hand back to nothing once more, "I'll come back and finish what I was going to say before I died."
