Here the new chapter. it was fast. enjoy it.
Chapter 5: Meet WHO?!
"-p!"
"…"
"-id… t… p!"
"Zzzzzzz."
"I SAID GET UP OR BE MY BREAKFAST!"
"ARGH."
Six persons got up… sat up brutally as they looked like to… crab… bushes… witches… and…something else.
"You mustn't have to shout like that. – sipping coffee – look at them now. They are panicking." Said a man voice who was reading the news paper. (what a man attitude he has here… or is it a husband one?)
"Oh. Quick it, will you onii-chan? They have to get up if they didn't want that to happen. And plus… I called them none less time." said a not happy girl, all grumpy and wearing an apron.
"I'm hungry, Aoi. Let's doing breakfast before she gets up." Said a little girl who was tugging her apron.
"Yeah. I'm hungry too." Said a boy voice who was sitting on the reading-news-paper-man's laps.
" – Sigh – Alright, let's go down. And you," she pointed to the 6 persons. "you better tidy this room and prepare yourself. the bathrooms are there." She pointed behind her two doors near the kitchen. And your things are there." She pointed this time to where the reading man was sitting to some boxes.
As you guess it, the 4 persons up were Aoi, Luchia, Natsume and Youichi. Not to offence anyone, but the picture the just gave us… they look like to a family reunion. And I'm serious. Aoi was pissed off, Luchia hungry, Natsume cool and Youichi boried and worried.
"Why didn't you just call us normally?" said an annoying voice with a… bush messy hair!
"What? Are you kidding me? I called you for 15 minutes already and you didn't get up at all."
"Well, what if SHE got up?"
"Oh. Don't worry about it because she's already up before I do."
"Hm."
They turned their head and saw someone under the cover moving like a snake. Then a head popped out of it. It was hairs the first thing they saw. Then hands came which removed them aside. A sleepy-tired face was showed up in chibi form as she rubbed her eyes.
"Aoi, I'm hungry. I want 3 sunny-side-up, 5 bacons and 7 breads crusty. Please." Said she in french.
"Yes, one-chan."
" – Yawn – Call me when you're done, 'K?"
Mikan rolled herself in her bed as she shivered a little even if she covered herself with the blanket.
"Yes."
Aoi disappeared. Luchia went to Mikan. She took a blanket and covered it on her.
"Thank you, Luchia."
Chuckle.
"Let's go Youichi."
She ran to him and took his hand.
"And you better not wake her up. Tidy your bed, put it in that corner (beside the window), change yourself, snap one time and come to the living room. Do. Not. Disturb. Big. Sister."
They all nodded. Luchia and Youichi disappeared as they held hands. They stayed silent for a moment when they heard a rustle coming from where Natsume was. He was still reading the news paper. They looked at him.
"What are you waiting for? She won't be happy if you're not done when she finished breakfast."
In one instant they went to the bathrooms. Girls in one, and boys in another.

In Girl's bathroom…
"Was that me or they looked like to a family?" said Sumire as she brushed her teeth.
"No. You're right." Confirmed Nonoko as she took off her pyjamas.
"…"
Sumire and Nonoko stopped what they were doing as they looked at Hotaru who was brushing her hairs.
"What?"
"Hum… well… it's not to say it but…" said Nonoko but hesitated to continue.
"You looked like to a bush." Said Sumire looking amusing.
"…"
SHINE.
BOUM.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In Boy's bathroom…
"They looked good together, don't you think?" said Mochu brushing his hair… as if he had.
"If you don't count the fact that they are family." Said Yuu as he wept his glasses.
"…"
Mochu and Yuu looked at Ruka who was… chuckling.
"What?"
"Ruka… your hair…" said Yuu as he looked above Ruka.
"No. It's not only his hair. It's his appearance." Said Mochu with a smirk.
"What?" said a confusing Ruka.
"You look like to a crab." Said the two of them.
Ruka turned blue as they heard a BOUM sound in the other room.
"Oh. It seems she killed them." Said Ruka out of the blue with a… devil smirk which scared the two boys.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Back to the room... Natsume's POV…
'WoW. It has been what… 7 years since I saw her and she has real bad mood in the morning. Good thing that with his training morning and night, I'm used to get up early. But today I thought I had one of those damn training. It's a damn habit of mine.
But I had a great view of something amazing.'
(A/N: In a flash, Natsume remembered the look of Hotaru and Ruka when they woke up. He smirked as he sipped his coffee.)
Hum. I took them like that. I will be rich… no… I'll do some goodies with them. I was thinking how much they will cost. I was thinking to who I'll sell them to.
I was thinking to various people. But the only one that came in my mind was: the sponsors of that girl, that damn gay teacher and the animals in the Northern Wood… they will rush by to have him like that.
'It's the first time I saw Ruka like that. They look good together.'
BOUM.
I looked to the door, where the girls went to. I smirked.
'In fact, it's a rare sight to see the Ice Queen and the Animals Lover to be like that. So it's better for me to do it in their back or I'm dead for sure. I'll do when they aren't near me… or maybe I'll do by internet. Yeah by internet. That will be easy and not noticeable… until we get back home.'
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ten minutes later… after the BOUM sound… Normal POV...
"So everyone is ready?" said Natsume not looking up and still in his news paper.
"Yeah, we are." Said emotionless Hotaru but pissed off.
Natsume folded the news paper and put it under his arms. He got up and sipped for the last time his coffee.
"Alright, let's go."
They already tidied their bed. The only thing leaving behind was Mikan who still sleeping. Natsume then snapped once and they found themselves in the dark room. They then went to the living where they smelt a sweet and good scent of cooking.
"Oh. You're here. Can you please help me with the plates? Take them and put them on the table. I don't have much place to cook anymore."
They heard a voice. It was Aoi who was in the kitchen with Anna. They were cooking but like she said, there wasn't any plate at all to cook anything or cut. The girls took the plates and put them on table. Luchia and Youichi had put the utensils already. They saw Koko in. Now the boys where waiting. They didn't know what to do except talking to Koko who was feeling better. Not until Aoi shouted at them and ordered them to do something instead of standing there and doing nothing.
"OI. Instead of standing like that, come help me with these breads." Shouted Aoi.
"HAI. MADAM."
They went to the kitchen. It was big enough to have at least… 50 people fitting in. they saw everything that could be eaten and done with. She had done all kid of breakfast: western, Chinese or Japanese… well Asian if you want. After 5 minutes, all things were out and they were waiting to be eaten. They were all fuming even after been out for 5 minutes already. Aoi removed her apron as she verified if everything was out and done. She clapped her hands and smiled.
"Sit down. And don't you dare to touch anything yet." Said she as she sat down.
"Mikan-onee-chan, breakfast is done."
She said it… almost muttered. Suddenly they heard a pop. They turned their head and saw Mikan who was sitting between Luchia and Aoi. She was dressed up, cleaned and straight (her hair). Everything was perfect. It was as if she was up since hours ago. Mikan was wearing a big dark blue sweater (polo neck) with a jean. Her hair was strangely black and pretty long than usual. Oh, did I mention it in the previous chapter that Mikan was able to change her appearance… which means that her hair can be black or brown, as well as her eyes which can be chocolate or crimson red. Sorry if I didn't.
She then began to eat as Aoi and Luchia did the same. Everyone ate silently. They didn't know what they should say.
"Today we will go visit the Tower Eiffel, then we'll go to the Cathedral Notre-Dame. After that we will do some shopping in Les Halles." Said Mikan calmly.
"Huh. Can we… go… outside?" asked Nonoko.
"Yes. Here we can go outside like we want. Whether for shopping or playing. It's not like in Japan, we are free to do whatever we want to."
They stayed once again silent.
"So how are you, Koko?" asked Mochu to feel at ease.
"Huh. Oh. I'm fine. All thanks to Anna and to the medicine you gave, Mikan." answered Koko.
Mikan nodded as she ate her sunny side up.
"Koko?" called Mikan.
"Yes?"
"Hum… nothing."
They looked at her wondering what she wanted. It seemed that Aoi and Luchia knew what the matter was.
'I won't say anything. So you don't need to worry much.'
'Thank you.'
They then saw Mikan had a relieved look as Koko nodded and smiled a little. Now they knew that something was up between them. But they didn't say anything.
They finished eating. They cleaned up the table, the room and the kitchen. Then they heard some noise coming from outside.
"What's going on?" shouted Mikan.
She went to the door as the others were standing in the middle of the room. She opened the door when...
"ARGH."
A man appeared behind the door. He scared her. Mikan was on the floor. She was shivering. Aoi was shocked to see the man. He was blond hair, brown eyes and tall to 1 metre 86. He was wearing a blue marine polo with a jean. He looked into Mikan's eyes. It was as if he was hypnotized by her gaze. He bent down as he blocked her from moving away with his right hand above her head. His legs were between hers. The other hand was to her waist. She couldn't move away from him.
"Kévin?" muttered Mikan enough to be heard by the others.
He approached her little by little. Their position was totally awkward. Any thought could be welcome to it. If she had a boyfriend, sure scandal will be held here. But good thing she wasn't… not yet. But as he approached her, everyone could feel danger in air. He was now an inch away from her mouth.
3… 2… 1…
BAM.
The scene changed. Mikan was in Natsume's arms as fire was in front of them. Aoi was below them as she held a fire sword. (Where does it come from?) Luchia was standing besides Aoi as ghosts were around her, more precisely a snake. Alicia was besides Luchia with her leg up as she had fight someone K.O. and Hotaru was besides Natsume with her Baka Upgrading Gun in hand. But, the boy was out of the sight. He was behind some wines as protection. So you can guess that his Alice was Plant Manipulation, just like Misaki-sensei.
He looked at Mikan with a hurt look. Mikan clenched herself on Natsume's arms as she hid her face on his back. She was about to cry. Aoi and Alicia stood normally. They looked at the boy with a murderous look.
"What are you doing here, Kévin?" asked Alicia.
"I heard she was back." Answered Kévin.
"How did you come here?" asked Aoi.
"Like they did." Answered he as he pointed to the gang.
"…"
Aoi was anxious. Alicia was shocked. Luchia was shivering. Hotaru and Natsume tried hard to figure out who he was. Youichi went to Luchia as she clenched herself in his arms. (Kawaii!!!)
"You are Ferdinand Kévin. 17 years old. Kaya-san's ex-boyfriend. Cheat on her. Playboy. And now you're… after Mikan." said Koko who tried hard not to puke but unfortunately for him, he puked in a bucket that Anna was holding.
"Ex-boyfriend?" said the gang.
'So he must be the one.'
'He hurt Kaya-san's feeling.'
'But she still feels something for him.'
'How did he know how to come here? She never let him to go out of the main living room?'
"Bijoux… What have you done to Bijoux?" shouted Aoi crying.
"If… if you did some… thing bad to… Bijoux… I won't forgive you." Said she crying hardly.
Some fire balls appeared from nowhere. Aoi was crying even more. But she was calm down by someone who had taken her in his arms.
"It's alright. She's safe. You don't need to worry that much. As you said, Bijoux would only people on who she estimated to trust. If he's here… so she trusts him. So don't cry anymore, ok?"
" – sniff – yes – sniff – Kazu-kun."
"Alright."
He carried Aoi bridal style. He turned his head to Natsume who nodded. Then he turned to Alicia.
"Alicia…"
"Leave it to me. Go take her to your room. She would feel at ease than here."
"Hn."
He disappeared through the windows. The atmosphere in the room was dense… no… tense.
"What do you want?" asked Alicia.
"I wanted to see her."
"By forcing her in a kiss?"
"…"
"Listen. We don't want her to be hurt as you hurt her. So now get lost."
"Why? Because she got someone?"
"Wh-… huh…"
Alicia didn't understand what he meant by but her question had been answered by Koko.
"He means Natsume."
Alicia looked at him then to Natsume.
'Is he really her…'
'No he's not. But we expect he does.'
'Huh? What do you mean?'
'Well, they have a hard time to accept their feeling to each other… well they are stubborn.'
'WoW. Strange to say it but they remind me someone.'
'Kaya-san?'
'Yes.'
After some minutes of silence, Mikan came back to her sense, still clenching onto Natsume. He felt her moving. He looked at her. She was watching with… sweet eyes to Kévin. It hurt Natsume. He released her a little but she clenched even more onto him.
'What's wrong with her? Who is that guy to her? She seems to like him? I knew it was an unrequited love the moment I knew I fell for her.'
He looked at her then to him who was also looking at him.
'Damn for all of the guys, why must it be him?'
"OUCH. Damn you. Don't shout like that you two stupid lovey-dovey guys. It hurts. I'm sick if ya don't know." Shouted Koko who was holding his head and made everyone looked at him.
"K-Koko?" called Anna scared because he had a strange murderous look.
"What are you saying, buddy?" said Mochu.
Instead of answering his question, Koko went to Natsume. He punched him hard on the cheek which made Kévin smirked at the view. Natsume fell down with Mikan still in his arms.
"What the…"
He couldn't finish his swearing question because Koko was walking to the other guy. And the gang had flinched when they saw a creepy smile on his face. He also hit the boy's face. He fell down.
"EH?"
The two wanted to use their Alice to KILL Koko. But for strange reason they couldn't use their Alice.
"Don't ever think you can use it. And don't shout at her. She's asleep. And we need to go up before Azumi-san screw us to death."
Koko took Anna's hand (he came back inside of the room) and pulled her out of the room as he snapped 2 times and disappeared. Everyone looked at him. It was strange how he acted towards Natsume. It's an ok for the Kévin but not with Natsume. It was sure he will be a dead man later.
"He's right. We better go up or we're dead." Said Alicia who was anxious.
"We will talk about it later. And don't ever try to come near her. Understand?"
"Hmph."
Kévin looked at Mikan with sad look then to Natsume with a hatred glare. He then turned around and disappeared.
"Luchia…"
"I'm doing it right away."
Luchia disappeared and appeared as she had a gun in hands. She pointed it to where wines were.
"Bou. Bou. Bou."
Ok. I agree what I did here was strange. But it was a… let say… a password to put on work the gun. A ball came out of it and everything disappeared. No dust, no wines, nothing was left behind.
"Alright, come near me. And Natsume carry her, please."
Natsume did as she said. Everyone gathered around her. And in one split of second, the room wasn't here. They found themselves… surrounded by trees.
"AAAAAH. Finally you are here. We were worried." Shouted an angry voice.
"Sorry. We had a little problem."
"Yeah. They told us." Said Mizu.
"How is she?" asked Narumi.
"She's fine. Only asleep." Said Koko.
"Alright. Then, go in the bus. We'll go to Tower Eiffel. Hyuuga sit beside her, will you?" said Jinno.
"Alright, everyone goes in… - blah – blah – blah – "
(I skip it. Now go to Tower Eiffel. YEAH…)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
After 10 minutes of riding…
"Damn… we're in traffic." Said Yuka.
"…"
"Grrr. If only you…"
"YUKA."
"WHAT?"
"Shut up."
"Wh-"
"I want to puke."
"Me too."
Everyone was feeling sick all of a sudden, even the gang and the teachers. The Minami's were also feeling bad. Only Aoi, Kazu, Luchia, Mikan, Natsume and Youichi weren't sick. The driver was also… sick. That was strange. But since he was sick, it was…
"Luchia… it's better for you to let me drive?" said Kazu turning blue.
"No." said she rudely.
"Luchia… a policeman can stop us and…" said Aoi as white as snow.
"No." said she even more rudely.
"You like drive." Said Youichi out of the blue.
"Yes." Answered she sweetly with hearts around her and a big smile.
Everyone fell and sweated anime style.
"Oh. I want to puke."
Everyone turned their head as they heard it. You'll tell me that everyone was saying. But what if I say it was Hotaru who said it. It's another story we have here.
"You really wanna puke?" asked Ruka who the whiter in the group.
"Hn."
"Then use one of your inventions to. And I forbid you to puke on me."
"I would like to but I can't find it. URGH."
"Don't ever try to target me or I chuck you out on the road."
"Come and do it."
These two looked at each other but suddenly they puked on their side.
"URGH."
"KYAAAAAAAAAH."
"WoW. What a sight! They really puke and at the same time. They really don't have endurance." Said Natsume emotionless but was laughing out of his heart inside. And to quote it, he was holding a camera… clearly visible.
"AND DON'T YOU DARE TAKE PICTURES OF US, HYUUGA!!!" shouted the two of them.
"Oh. Why not? It's pay back, Imai. And it's the first time you call me by my last name, Nogi?"
"YOU – URGH – "
"AAAAAAAAAAH."
Why are they shouting?
FLASH.
"Hm."
"Hn? What is it Mikan?" muttered Natsume.
"What is the smelling?" asked Mikan as she put something on her nose with a grimace.
"Oh. It's Imai and Ruka who are puking at the same time."
"Oh."
Tic. Tac. Tic. Tac.
"SERIOUSLY?"
Mikan suddenly stood up on his laps as she put all her body on his body… little description… they are sitting, Mikan on his laps but she stood… she put her knees on his laps as she upper body was on his… so means that her breast was on his face… now can you see the position?
'Damn… I'm about to have a nose blood.'
"Ehehehehehe." What a devil laugh do we have here!
'Don't read my min-I hate your Alice, Koko.'
"Ehehehehehe. Not my fault that yours was the simple to get and easier."
Koko was in front of him with the most devilish smile he could see, even if he couldn't with Mikan's breast in front of his eyes.
"Camera. Someone give me CAMERA."
"Here. And don't lose what inside has. I already took some magnificentpics of these two." Said Natsume as he gave his digital camera to her.
"Oh. I see. Can I look at them later?" said she as she took the camera without looking down.
"Go on. But be sure that they don't take it from you. There is also that brother of yours look."
"Do you?"
"Yeah."
Click. Flash. Snap.
"Good. Great. Perfect. Fantastic. Go on and I'm rich."
"…"
"No. We're rich."
Natsume grinned and it was visible through to her clothes. Koko was laughing hard. Luchia and Youichi were driving the car and no one was stopping them. Outside, people were looking at them but no one dared to do something.
"Eh? You're not sick, Koko?" asked Mikan still taking pictures.
"No. Why should I?"
"Oh. No. Just wanted to be sure."
"…"
"So that means you take it?"
"Yeah. The blue one."
"Great Reflexes. If I knew that they would too be sick, I would have given them some."
Click. Flash. Snap.
"Hum. I think you should…"
"Already done. She's alright and she's sleeping right now."
Mikan turned her head and saw Koko showing her Anna sleeping on laps.
"Oh."
She turned around tackling Natsume against his back.
"HUH?!"
'Damn. Can't she be sweeter? Does she even know I'm under her?'
"Huh? What is it?"
'Oh. Damn, I think she just sees it.'
And he was right. Mikan looked down with a question look on her face. They looked at each others eyes. They didn't move for… 5 minutes, not until she shouted.
"ARGH. YOU PERVERT!!!!"
She went back but with the car stopping brutally she was thrown all over the bus. Natsume was about to catch her but with the weigh of someone else on his back he was also flying to the front of the bus. In slow motion, you see Mikan in first row as she arrived to the front where Youichi had pulled Luchia against the windows, after was Natsume who was flying like a bird, then was Ruka who was swimming (it was his back first), then was Hotaru who was jumping face to face to Ruka. And finally when they arrived one by one to the front, it was like that: Mikan her back was on the windows with Natsume in front as their lips met each others; Ruka was back to back with Natsume's and, like the two, he met Hotaru's lips with his. You get the picture right? And one, one memory.
Silence.
Mikan looked at Natsume, as he looked back at her. Ruka looked at Hotaru, as she looked at him. They were (the four of them) entranced to each others. They pulled apart. They put their fingers on their lips at the same time. They blushed really hard.
'I kissed him/her.'
'She/He kissed me.'
'Oh My Gawd!'
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."
BOUM.
SLAP.
Alright, I think you know what sound belongs to whom, right? Well for those who don't: BOUM sound was the sound of the Baka Gun; and SLAP sound was Mikan slapping Natsume cheek. But that didn't stop here. As Hotaru had hit Ruka with the Baka Gun, he hit himself to Natsume who had been slapped by Mikan. So the picture was like that: Ruka was the first to be hit so he had crashing against the windows; and Natsume was the second as Mikan slapped him with her right hand so his head went to his right as he hit himself to Ruka's face… in one word they kissed each other.
Click. Flash. Snap. (×2)
Mikan and Hotaru had taken them at the same time. They got up leaving the two of them shocked, confused and… blushing. The door of the bus opened. They got off but before being out of it, they turned their head and looked at them really dangerously.
"These will be our pay back." Said them at the same time with a gleam in they eyes and dark aura as they held their camera in hand, even through Mikan's belonged to Natsume.
And they were out of view.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
After some hours of cleaning the bus and waiting on the grass during lunch time…
The tension was horrible between the students. Well, it was a nightmare for those who were closed to two groups of three persons. Let call Group 1 for Hotaru, Luchia and Mikan; and let call Group 2 for Natsume, Ruka and Youichi. You'll ask me why Luchia and Youichi doing on the bad mood Group, it's all because they also had the same experience as the bigger. That was when Youichi pushed Luchia to not be crashed under their weigh but they had felt the same thing as they did.
Luchia was extremely red but was fantasying on the accident. Youichi was also red but he didn't know what to do. Mikan was blushing to but she was angry and disoriented. Natsume was blushing but he was fighting with his inner self. Hotaru was a tomato but she was thinking of a way to kill someone. Ruka was into his crimson red shade but was slapping his mind for what happened before.
It was hilarious. No one knew it, except for Koko. And strangely, Koko was THE ONLY ONE to know it. No Minami's was able to go in their mind, not even Yuka. But Persona was guessing right on their attitude since he was watching after Mikan so was watching her friends closely too. He was smirking.
"They are SO obvious." Said Persona out of the blue as turned away and walked away.
"Yeah. SO obvious." Said Koko as he turned away and walked away side by side with Persona.
They smirked as everyone looked at them shivering.
"Are they… normal?" said someone.
"Don't know." Said someone else.
They then did back what they did… with the bad tension and feeling.
"OI?"
FLINCH.
Everyone flinched in one place. They didn't move when they heard the voice.
"What?"
FLINCH.
Everyone shivered as they had goose pimples.
"…"
"…"
Everyone held back their breath.
"What do you want, Hyuuga?"
"…"
"Have you lost your tongue or what?"
"…"
"OI? Do you have something to say?"
"…"
Natsume wanted to say something but couldn't say anything. It seemed that his voice couldn't be voiced out.
"Alright, if ya don't have something to say I'm out of here."
"Mikan?" shouted Yuka.
Mikan got up and started to walk away with Luchia clenching to her coat and Hotaru following her emotionless. Natsume also got up as Youichi held his sleeves and Ruka was following as always but without his rabbits. Everyone looked at them as they disappeared from their sight.
"Should we follow them?" asked someone.
"No. Let them be. And don't worry about them since Mikan knows the town really good so everything is alright with her by their side." Said Takashi.
"But I'm worried about Luchia." Said Alicia who was extremely anxious and everyone wondered why as she held herself close to Takashi.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
After some minutes and following…
'Damn it. My legs move by themselves. I can't stop following her.'
'Oh my gawd. I kissed her. And her lips tasted like… cherry… even if we puked before that.'
'Waaaaa. What am I supposed to do now? I didn't want that to happen. What I wanted was to make sure she won't be hurt.'
People around looked at them with strange look. Oh I forgot to say that Hotaru and Ruka had changed themselves or not they will stink and I don't think that Hotaru would support it any longer neither him.
'Grrrrr. That Hyuuga. Can't he say something about it? I need to know it NOW. I want to know it so badly. I can't take anymore.'
'Kiss. Kiss. We kissed. I'm gonna kill him… but it was tasty. What should I do?'
'Ehehehe. He kissed me even if it was an accident. He's panicking and they also do. What's wrong with kissing someone we like?'
They walked for almost… 2 hours around Paris. They passed shops, restaurants, fast foods, libraries and ice rinks since it was winter time. Not until Mikan stopped and sighed. She sat on a bench near by… as if they could find some like that. Mikan looked up as her eyes showed a sad look.
"I'm sorry for my attitude these past days, Hotaru." Said she sweetly.
Hotaru startled by her sudden talk. She looked at her. Luchia was playing around with the birds. Youichi was eyeing her… followed her with his eyes. Natsume and Ruka stayed silent, no to disturb them.
"It's alright. You have your reason. And I'm the one who must be apol-"
"No. It's me. I didn't tell you anything about it. Neither did I tell you about…"
Mikan stopped in her track as she looked down. She felt anxious. She hesitated if she should say it or not. Hotaru knew what the problem was. She neared her bestfriend. She put her head on hers. Hotaru was in front of Mikan of course. Mikan up her eyes and looked into hers.
"Don't worry. You can still tell me everything. And I know that you still feel something for him." Muttered Hotaru making sure it wasn't available to the boys.
"Hn."
Mikan nodded and closed her eyes. They stayed like that for a moment. Around them, no one stopped and looked at them as if they were some strange species coming from another world. It was the contrary, they didn't care at all. Either they were kissing or not. The boys turned their head away letting them some time… alone.
"What do you they were talking about?" asked Ruka to Natsume who was in his own world.
"How am I supposed to know it since I'm in the same boat as you?"
Silence.
There were some leaves twirling around them. They sighed and thought the same thing:
'I'm dead.'
You'll certainly ask why do they thing something like that because at that moment the two were eyeing them with real dark look, as you can see a dark background behind the boys with them on. And you also can see a figure of a devil… even Satan himself if it was possible. They couldn't face them at all. They were totally scared of what would happen to them in a second or two.
"Let's go." Said Mikan as she got up.
"Eh?"
They turned their head to them.
"Luchia, Youichi, come here." Shouted she to the two kids.
"What is it, Big sis?" asked Luchia.
"We'll go eat something. I'm hungry." Said she as she began to walk away.
They followed her. She walked there and here, between alleys and streets, between people without being pushed. She knew where to go no like before. She stopped in front of a shop. It was a Café. It was called: Princesse. She looked at the shop and smiled slightly. She then walked in. They followed her.
Inside, it was dark but calm. There was smoked but sweet. People watched at them walking in. Luchia clenched to Youichi who grabbed Natsume's sleeves who was being pushed to Ruka who was holding Hotaru's hands who was holding her Baka Gun. Well, they were scared but found immediately peaceful and harmless when Mikan talked.
"Hello, is it possible to have the Ruby Room?" asked Mikan in French as everyone looked at her with shocked look as the bartender dropped the cup he had in hands.
Alright now I'm taking away what I said before. The atmosphere turned out to be dangerous and uneasy. The bartender looked at Mikan in eyes. Hotaru, Luchia, Natsume, Ruka and Youichi couldn't see her face because of the darkness but also they were scared to move even if it was little. But I can tell you that Mikan's expression changed brutally.
"You…"
And when I say brutally it means that her sweet and cute smile wasn't on anymore. It was a creepy look and murderous glare were shown on her face. The bartender gulped which caught the attention of everyone. And they also gulped at her sight. She was glaring at them from the corner of her eyes.
"Mi-Mikan, I think we better…" said Hotaru but was cut off by the bartender.
"Alright, you can take it. And I suppose that you aren't alone?"
"…"
" – Cough – here the key. The room hasn't been used for ages. So…"
"We'll do."
"Huh… Mikan?" Hotaru tugged her sleeves, she didn't understand a word. Not to forget that they were talking in French.
"Go to the back room and take the door on your right. Then go to the last room. And here the key. Settle down. I'll join you later." Said Mikan with her usual smile and sweet look.
"O-Ok."
Hotaru took the key and walked to the door. As they walked there, they saw that everyone was silent and were looking at Mikan who was looking at them back. They could see that she had a little hint of cold eyes until she turned her look to them and smile brightly. They disappeared behind the door not knowing what will happen now. They continued to walk to the last door. They opened it with the key and entered in. They sat down.
The room was big. It can fit at least… 100 persons. It was like a room for receiving a reception or a party.
"What do you think what will happen to Mikan?" asked Ruka.
"…"
"How did she know where the room was?" asked Hotaru.
"Hum… The bartender must have told her…" said Ruka.
"Impossible."
"What do you mean Natsume?"
"He only told her that the room wasn't used for ages."
"So…"
"She knew the place a long time ago. And she used to come here."
"…"
"Also, these men seem to know her. Did you see how they shutter and shut when she said Ruby Room and how they look at her?"
"…"
"It was as if…"
"… she came back from the dead." Said someone coming from the door.
They looked to the door as they saw… the Minami's, the rest of the gang and Yuka. They entered in the room and glared to each others.
"She knew we were following you." Said Mochu.
"She asked us to go to the room." Said Sumire.
"And she stayed there." Said Yuu.
Silence.
"Who are they?" said them at the same time.
They waited in the room. They looked around. They saw a TV, mikes, DVD player, covers, sofa, table and chairs. There weren't windows in. The room didn't seem to be old. It was clean and tidied. There wasn't dust. It was pretty clean. Each seconds, minutes passed, they felt anxious. Mikan wasn't coming. They were afraid that something must have happened to her.
Some were biting their lips, other were clenching onto something really tight. Silence was falling on them.
"ARGH. I can't stand it at all."
"K-Koko?"
"Stop being like that. Nothing will happen to her."
"What make you think that?" asked Mochu.
"…"
Koko looked away from Mochu but ended up to look at the others who were watching him.
"Koko, could it be that you…" asked Takashi.
"…"
Koko looked down.
"I'm sorry but I can't say anything." said he before someone asked him what he knew.
"I promise her that I won't say anything. Even if you want to burn me, I won't say anything." said he as a fire ball was in front of his nose.
"Hmph." (You know who is it?)
Silence.
"ARGH. Why is it that ONLY you can read things?" shouted Kaoru.
"Go ask her. I wonder to." said Koko rudely… for the first time… or the second time.
"You…"
"Kaoru." Shouted Alicia.
They stayed silent.
"Hum. Now I think about it. Luchia-chan… she…" asked Koko.
"She's mute." Answered Alicia.
"Eh?"
"So…" said Koko but cut off by her.
"Telepathy is not her Alice if this is hat you think."
"So this is…"
"Yes, Reading Mind."
"…"
"She's on a level superior than us… well she's under yours, Koko."
"…"
"There are three levels for Reading Mind… well two but with your ability we can think there are three…"
"Only two."
"Hm?"
"Mine is the same as yours."
Koko pointed to the Minami's.
"Only that I don't know why I can read her mind… I think I'm pretty sensitive and… my first target was his."
He pointed to Natsume who wanted to kill him at the moment.
"So like I said, there are two levels for Reading Mind users. The first level is Reading Mind normal. And the second is Reading Mind AND communicating through Mind, it's as if she talk to us normally."
Silence.
Everyone was thinking and tried to get what she just said.
"So, she talks to us through Mind?" asked Mochu.
"Yes."
"I think I have a headache." Said he as everyone fell anime style with on the background: Is he serious or joking?
Sumire wanted to kick him but they heard a scream coming from the other room.
"What is it?"
They looked at each others and they heard another scream. This time they knew to who it belonged to. They ran outside of the room and went to where they were when they entered the Café. When they opened the door they saw the room was upset down. Tables were turned over or broken. They saw things were flying around the room. They also saw the men who were in the room were hiding behind tables or chair or something that can hide them. On the other side, men in black (again) were holding guns and shot here and there.
(A/N: from now on everyone talked in French except the gang.)
"We must put Rose somewhere safe." Shouted the bartender as he held a gun.
"Yeah, we know but where?" shouted another one as he shot with his gun.
"I can maybe help here." Said a voice.
They turned their head as they saw a raven haired boy crouching besides them. They shrieked as lights broke.
"Ho-how the hell did you come here?" shouted the bartender.
"Since a minute ago." Said he calmly.
'How can he calm in a situation like that?'
"You Damn Natsume, how the hell did you go there?" shouted… Hotaru (?) in French.
They turned their head as they saw Hotaru standing in the middle of the broken tables. She was smoking like a cigarette… bad comparison.
"Ho-Hotaru you better…" said Ruka but was cut off by the sound of shooting gun.
Ruka saw some bullets coming to her. He grabbed her but her waist and pulled her down. He was on top of her as she held tightly his clothes.
"What a strong man! He looks like to a girl." Said one of the men.
"Yeah."
"I don't think it's the moment for this kind of things." Said Natsume as you guess it.
"Huh yeah."
"So tell us first who these men are? And what do they want from my daughter?" said a voice coming from nowhere behind them.
They then once again shouted, including Natsume. This time no light broke but it was the guns which exploded.
"Shit." Shouted one of the black men.
"So?" asked Yuka (you guess it right.)
"Well, these men are some kind of Dogs. Someone who wants her death. He's the most fear back there and she was the only one who did… well she was under some orders but… hum… in one word, they want her to do what they want a long time ago."
"And who are you?" asked Yuka.
They looked at each others and sighed.
"We are… were her bodyguards."
"Wha-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."
"Here she is." Shouted one black man.
"Good. Bring her here." Said another black man.
"Like hell we'll let you do it." shouted a customer.
They once again exchanged bullets but the Nice Side was out of bullets.
"Damn." Cursed someone as he tried to recharge his gun.
"Let us do the work now. It's better for you to…" said Natsume politely.
"Don't ever think to chase us from here and from protecting her. She helped us in the past now it's our turn to."
Natsume and the others looked at him. He put on gloves same as his friends.
"You don't know us at all, Hyuuga."
Natsume startled that the bartender knew his name. But before he could ask, the bartender and his friends disappeared from there sight. And reappeared behind the black men who didn't see them coming.
"Now, die."
A wall of Fire, Ice and Plant showed which made the black men died immediately but it didn't stop here. Some other man appeared from nowhere.
"CAREFUL!" shouted Natsume as he got up and Fire appeared behind them.
The black men disappeared into ashes. And they saw two silhouettes behind.
"It was pretty hard to find you, Onii-chan." Said a familiar voice.
"A-Aoi?"
"Hi there."
It was Aoi and Kazu who walked in the shop as if nothing was happened. Aoi ran to Natsume and hugged him. Then she looked around the room. She was looking for something, rather someone. She then found who she searched for. She went behind the bar where she stopped and said:
"Oho."
"What's wrong, A-"
FLASH.
BLACK OUT.
"Huh."
"Where are we?"
The gang and the Minami's found themselves in a total black out. They looked around but found nothing except themselves.
"Where are we?" asked Kaoru once again.
"I think we are…" said Koko.
"In Mikan's mind. Yes." Said someone.
