Chapter Six: Memory Of A Faint Distance – Who Will You Rather Be? Friend? Foe? Or A Nobody?

"Mikan-chan, wake up. It's already 8 in the morning!" yelled a long crimson-black haired girl.

A fourteen years old brunette still asleep and mumbling about Howalons. She covered herself with the blanket, ignoring what her friend shouts about. Mikan hadn't eat any of them since she was taken hostage.

"Mikan-chan, wake up already! Are you planning to sleep all day!" came Valkyrie with apron still attached on her, meaning that she still working on breakfast at the kitchen.

"But Howalon… Lots of Howalon…"

"Oh wake up! We're going to be late for training!"

Still no respond.

Valkyrie is a very patient person. She can control her emotions pretty well. However, there's a certain brunette that will change those facts.

One…

Two…

Three…

TOCK!!!

Well, this is the very least prove to show how Valkyrie let out the very least of her anger.

"OW!!! Valkyrie-chan…do you had to do that…?" Mikan's head was tossed with the alarm clock and a bulge appeared. She had just taste her best friend's wrath.

"Yes…and I will repeat it if you liked…" her monotone voice and dark aura sent shivers to Mikan's spine.

Valkyrie looks up at Mikan. She could hardly believe that this girl in front her was already fourteen. Sighing heavily, she walks her way to the kitchen.

Both of them lived in a small apartment in the AAO headquarters. So, they've been living under the watches of the AAO.

"Hurry up and get ready. The breakfast is getting cold and I'm leaving in 20 minutes"

"Oh, Valkyrie-chan. You such a sweet person! That's why you're my friend!"

Upon hearing her statement, Valkyrie covered her blush by moving her face aside. For a person who been treated as a monster, a simple words like this can make her shy.

"Whatever…"

Mikan and Valkyrie were walking in the corridor and meet a few agents. Their faces show a fright expression when came face to face with both of them. The agents give way for them to passed, a bit too wide for a normal person.

"Did you see that Mukouka girl? I heard that she had become friend with the Miss" said the woman agent.

"I also know that two years earlier that Miss had attacked a newbie for hitting that Mukouka girl"

"For me, that's what you get if you make a Mukouka became friend with the Miss"

They made their way quickly away from the two. This gave a slight uncomfortable to Valkyrie. She dislike it when people were saying bad things to the person she valued so much.

However, when she look at Mikan's eyes, she know that Mikan also dislike this to happen. But being Mikan she is, Mikan rarely show her sadness to the others.

"How's Miss been doing?" asked a man in his lab coat.

"She's fine compare to that Mukouka. That girl really had trouble controlling her Alices at the same time. I think My Lady will fix this problem for us" answered another man in a white lab coat. Both of them was examining and experimenting Alice energy that lies inside a person body.

The subject that was includes in this experimental project is none other than Mikan and Valkyrie. Both of them were put inside a tube covered with green liquid. Wires attached to each other body.

"I guess My Lady will deal with that Mukouka later. By the way, we already done with this test"

"Mikan, does My Lady want to meet you again? Is that why you always been gone missing for all this time?"

"Oh, no! It's not that. I was…"

"Don't lie to me. I know what she's been doing to you and I don't like it"

"Don't worry about it…"

"But I won't. She's draining you by forcing your Alice to its limit, you know that don't you!?"

"I…"

"Please Mikan! I don't want you to end up like the other experiments that they attempt and fail to do… you…"

Before Valkyrie could even finish her sentence, two fingers were place on her lips to prevent her from completing her words.

"Valkyrie-chan, I know you worried about me, but don't worry! I can totally handle things up by myself!" and with a flash of smile, Mikan made her way out from the room.

Valkyrie can only stare at her best friend, thinking if this is the right thing to do.

"Oh Mikan…if only you know...the experiment will defy our friendship and threaten your life…"

She stared at the ceiling and released a heavy sigh, "If only you know…"

'Once upon a time, lived a little Mukouka…'

A woman and a girl sat at the middle of a room…

'She was lonely, have no friends or family…'

…filled with darkness…

'The Mukouka girl felt so miserable'

Mikan was sitting in front of a woman while her eyes had lost their living natural color.

'So she set upon a journey and found a fairy'

She was practically listening to the person in front her as she sang.

'The fairy gave her one granted wish'

The woman in front Mikan has a melodic voice and her face resemble…

'So the little Mukouka wish her one and only wish…'

…Mikan.

'To have a friend and somebody to love her'

In short term, the woman who sat in front of Mikan is none other than her own mother, Yuka Azumi.

'The fairy granted the girls wish but there's a price to pay'

Yuka's face didn't even change a bit. She participates in the AAO experiment and was the head leader for the project 'Shiro Neko'.

'Cursed endure to the Mukouka girl'

'She was given a give to destroy the on she loves'

'The Mukouka girl afraid of this, so she covers it so her loved will not abandoned her'

Using her voice, Mikan was hypnotized. With this, Yuka sang the phrase…

'Even though you're happy, you brought with you a terrible faith…'

Mikan slumped herself on Yuka's lap but she still under her hypnotize. Yuka use her voice pheromone to put Mikan under unconscious state so she could take full control of her Alice.

She put her palm on Mikan's head and a white light emerged. Yuka was actually forcing Mikan's Alice to its full potential. This had begun since the first Mikan step into the organization. Mikan know what happening to her but she can't resist it due to the fact that Yuka's Alice is powerful than hers and also because of Yuka controlling her Alice.

Once she is done with her works, Yuka carried Mikan out from the room and put her into the lab under probation.

After that, she found Valkyrie standing outside the under probation room. Valkyrie had a look on her face that show she respect Yuka although she's only in her poker face.

Valkyrie showed her respect by bowing her head before walking passed Yuka. Both of them take conscious step. She knew who Yuka is and what she was capable of. Being called as 'My Lady' by the other members clearly stated these facts.

"When will you stop doing this her, My Lady…? You know that her body is at its weaker state if you keep forcing her Alice to it fullest" her uttered words spoke calmly but never managed to hide her concerned.

They stood on the pavement, backing each other.

"You know that these consequences will happen to the subject. More over, you had participated in this experiment long ago…"

"I know that, but still, Mikan is the one I care about…"

"So, are you saying that you will run away like hat after all those other experiments? Are you going to keep running away forever? Are you, 'Death Angel'? Those last words sent shivers towards Valkyrie.

"No…is not what I meant…"

"So, who will you rather be? Friend? Foe? Or a nobody?"

As the last nail was nailed into the coffin, Valkyrie went silent. Yuka saw the hint of fear and take that as a cue to leave. Before finally deserting the pavement, she said a few words with a cold tone.

"Think about it…"

"Oh, Valkyrie-chan. Thank you for coming here…I almost thought that you would leave me her alone"

Mikan just woke up from her sleep when she hears somebody entering the room. "Are you okay? You seem a little bit pale?"

"Huh! Oh! I'm sorry Mikan-chan. I've been spacing out lately…", came her answer.

"You know, spacing out is not really good. It makes you forget about you surrounding. Hotaru always warned me about this you see"

"Uh, okay…"

"Now that's more I like it. You should cheer up a little"

Mikan showed her best upon grinned.

'Who will you rather be? Friend? Foe? Or a nobody?' Yuka's words tingling in her head as Valkyrie saw Mikan smiles to her.

'Perhaps, this time, I choose to be… Mikan's best friend…
