Information:
Hello there, as I drifted away, writing about what the faculty members and staff of Alice Academy were talking about, I may have kept you in suspense for great deal of time, you know...about what happened between Natsume, Ruka and Luna. Oh, and in this chapter, I still continue to write in first-point-of-view. Well, I hope you'll enjoy reading this new chapter. 'Tata'!
Chapter 4
The Strange Aura
"Look at your ugly eyes!" Luna leered. "They're still like your awful mother's ones, and your stupid little sister's eyes."
I cringed, I could feel Natsume's anger rising. He clenched his fists and I could hear his knuckles crack.
"What if I tell her you've left her, after you runaway, how would she feel?"
"Shut up, dirt bag!" Natsume retorted, his colour rising.
"Poor Aoi, she'll break into a million pieces if I tell her, and we'll need to throw her away!" Luna scoffed, despicably. "It'll be
fun living in the streets; I think that slut deserves it!" She added, grinning; making Natsume angry wouldn't have done her
any good, but I knew she was just stalling till backup came. Yet, I stood there, useless. I couldn't even move. The worst thing
was we were in a room together with an Alice that could suck out one's soul.
"You're so ugly when you talk, Idiot!" spitted Natsume. At this, I couldn't help but feel that saying those words were pointless
and would only make things worse. My heart leapt off my chest as Luna ran towards Natsume with a great speed: she raised
her right hand, her fingers were straightened and she slapped Natsume's left cheek fiercely. Natsume fell on his knees, he
was too weak to have dodged her slap and he coughed.
"Oh dear, I must have forgotten my manners!" Luna said with one hand on her mouth: despite the fact that anyone would
have hated this action, she did it daintily.
I tried to grab her on the back of her shoulders but she was too quick, she slid off her right side and punched me on the face
so roughly that I had to spit out a little blood to keep myself from swallowing it. Natsume saw this, and his eyes turned a
burnt sienna colour, the pupils of his eyes contracted and adrenaline seemed to flood his brain as he stood up. He had a
murderous look on his expression: I wiped off the blood from my mouth.
"Hurting me is fine...," Natsume said, quietly but it was a more alarming sound than when one would hear someone shout or
roar. "But I won't forgive you for hurting my friends..." And as he finished saying the last line, a strange aura had surrounded
the room. It was hot and blazing: Natsume held out his right hand pointing it towards Koizumi. She looked as traumatized as
I was as the aura around the room combined into one in the air and formed the shape of a red, golden dragon.
The dragon was blistering with flames around him, but the strange thing was that the flames did not burn anything near him
and one could not feel its flames but its presence seemed to make one feel terrified. It was the most terrifying and yet the
most beautiful thing I had ever seen. The light it produced was so great that made the whole room surrounded with blinding
brightness.
It swept through the room and went through Koizumi's chest, it did not seem to burn her, but her expression had become weak as it passed through her and went out through her back. It did nothing to harm her flesh, but her soul, regarding the
fact she held more than one in her possession, it would have hurt her more than an average person. In a blink of an eye, she
collapsed, the red aura that took the form of a dragon disappeared as Natsume himself fell on his knees once more. I was
dazed, my mouth was gaping and I couldn't move my body or even twitch a finger. What had happened just now was too
incredible to take in or overcome.
"Natsume!" I said, still in shock, my mouth ajar. "What the heck happened?" I asked, I supported him as he collapsed.
What natsume produced earlier will soon be explained in due course.
Third-person-point-of-view:
In Hospital's Main Hall (All the students are gathered there for a meeting, only this time with the students):
"OK, everyone gather round!" Narumi-sensei announced, smiling: though everyone knew it was fake.
"What happened to Natsume-kun and Ruka-pyon, Narumi-sensei?" Anna Umenomiya asked as she held both of her hands
clenched on her bottom lip: it was like one would see in the act of praying; only her eyes were wide-open.
"And where's Koizumi-san?" Kokoro Yome asked, still optimistic, though everyone hated it.
"Well...we're on it, they might still be somewhere around here, faculty members are still searching...," Narumi said, positively.
"But we've been searching too!" Nonoko Ogasawara spluttered. "And we haven't seen them!"
"We know that Mikan and Sumirei are OK, but we haven't seen Natsume-kun and Ruka-pyon all night!"
"SILENCE!" bellowed Jinno-sensei, whom managed to pass through the crowd and came in front of the pack of noisy children. Everyone grew very silent.
There was a pause, and then Mr. Narumi continued:
"OK, I'll to go to the point, Alice academy is in a very critical stage right now… and I'm afraid we might need to send some of
you to shelters at the moment, we will do so by tomorrow."
Everyone gasped.
"Does this mean that Alice Academy is closing?" asked Hoshio Hoshino, his voice cracking.
"No…," Narumi-sensei said quietly. "Hi-sama is determined by all means possible to rebuild the school no matter how much
time or money it might cost. However, it will certainly take a long time to repair such damage; indeed, it will take a very long
time…."
Kaoru Nendo raised his hand for permission to speak, Narumi-sensei nodded.
"You said 'some' might be sent to special shelters, does that mean not all of us will be sent?" Kaoru asked.
"Well, I'm afraid, we have to sent some of you home… we cannot provide for everyone, considering the fact we're using the
money to rebuild the school. " Narumi-sensei answered. Several people shrieked in excitement, some gasped with shock.
"Then…will I be sent home?" Kaoru asked, looking edgy.
"I'm afraid, you will be sheltered…," Narumi sensei replied a little hesitantly. Kaoru's mouth gaped, with disappointment and
with fear.
"Why must I be sheltered?" he asked, he sounded close to tears.
"Yeah! Why must you make exceptions!?" Hayate Matsudaichi stammered indifferently.
"All of us want to go home!" Tsubasa-senpai yelled along with the crowd, as they protested.
Narumi looked futile as the crowd of children continued to reason out. Jinno-sensei flicked his metal rod on the air and lighting
streamed out of the tip and gave the children a minor shock. The crowd grew silent once more.
"Well you see…we make exceptions because we…we…um…we think that some students are of more value- not to get me
wrong, all of you are special but we need to shelter those whom need special attention…," said Narumi-sensei, looking wretched.
"How about those Alice that are like Kaname-senpai!?" Misaki-senpai asked.
"They will be will transferred to another special hospital in Tokyo after this week…," Jinno-sensei replied. "Those who have
been injured by the fire will be cared for, for now, this discussion is finish and we have decided that everyone will be sharing
hospital bedrooms for the night. Five girls in each room and four boys in each, the girls will be staying in the topmost floors
and the boys will stay on lower ground. I declare this meeting adjourned, get ready for sleep, every one of you.
"Fukutan!" ordered Jinno-sensei, in his stern voice. Fukutan-sensei responded with a salute. "Lead these children to their
rooms; I'm going to get myself ready for a search…."
"Yes, Jinno-san!" Fukutan-sensei complied.
As Fukutan-sensei started gathering children and arranging them in a row, Jinno-sensei slid off the hall and disappeared from
their sight.
"This is outrageous!" stuttered Akira Tonouchi. "What kinda sick maniac would want Alice Academy to get to this state?"
"Careful now, Tono!" Tsubasa-senpai warned. "You're not saying Natsume did this, are you?"
Misaki-senpai smacked the back of Tsubasa's head and said, "Hypocrite!"
First-person-point-of-view: Mikan
I halted my steps as I stopped to take a pant. I was sweating all over, my head felt dizzy and I supported myself by holding
onto a pillar. I was in the topmost floor of the hospital, I felt slightly guilty for not attending the meeting in the main hall of the
hospital, and it might have been an important one.
I sat down on the floor, panting heavily.
"Darn Natsume! Where are you Ruka-pyon, Natsume-kun?" I thought as I wiped the sweat off my forehead with my hand. I
was sleepy and frustrated.
After a moment or two, I stood up and continued to search once more. Room plate numbers, which were drilled on
the top center of each door, buzzed one by one. I checked each one of them, I would sneak a quick look inside each room
then, if it was empty I would proceed to the next door, examining to see whether they locked or not, I would turn each
doorknob.
Finally, I came to the room number one hundred (100). I turned the doorknob; it was locked, so I was forced to carry on to
the next door. The door's plate number read:
"Room 101 Special Star…"
I turned the doorknob, it clicked, and then I slowly swung the door open. As the light from the empty hallway shone into the
dark room, to my great astonishment, there stood Natsume-kun and Ruka-pyon, and Koizumi Luna lay on the floor. Our eyes
met, and we came to a stop. My heart stopped beating for a second and I stood there, frozen. For once, I saw Natsume's
eyes completely widen and Ruka was just as dazed.
lHEHE, well that's it for this chapter, I will update soon.l
