Junior 2:- Bonded
Mikan's POV:-
All right I'm already here in the headquarters of the AAO. I just wonder how the hell am I gonna even get that girl … THIS IS THE AAO!!!... There'll be guards everywhere but hey I'm Mikan, I possibly have like more than 10 alices at least.
As I neared my destination I realized that it was a huge mansion. The AAO always changed their whereabouts.. I hope this is it… The mansion was huge and also very large.
I looked at the document… According to it the girl was located somewhere on the south of that mansion so towards the back side. I took out my mask and a wrist band plugging it onto my body. It was alice resistant and also another alice could not detect my presence through it. Ask where I got it from?... Hotaru's inventions of coarse…
Making use of the levitation alice I floated up landing lightly on the mansion's roof.
The roof was made of red slates slanting making it harder for me to stand let alone walk. Finally reaching at the south corner of the roof top I used the x-ray alice trying to see through the thick concrete. My gaze fell upon two certain guards who were standing in front of a particular room. Moving my gaze further I saw that inside the room lay a tiny girl who was maybe about.. Well I couldn't guess much.. She seemed to be asleep her arms folded, her head resting against it.
NOW IT'S TIME….- I thought. I created a poisonous sphere and placed in gently on the roof… After sometime the roof floor started to vaporize and I saw the opening it had caused. Taking my chances I jumped in almost startling the hell out of the guards who immediately attacked me. I froze one of the men and kicked at the other who was about to pull of the alarm. Instantly I touched him sending a bolt of electricity through him. I picked up the keys of the lock and slowly unlocked the door. Opening it slowly I entered but the minute I stepped in –
INTRUDER! INTRUDER! INTRUDER! INTRUDER!- Loud alarm bells started blowing off.
"SHIT!"- I thought. The girl obviously had lasers in her room. The noise caused the girl to wake up from her slumber. She switched on the light and instantly the room was illuminated our gazes met. Amber against misty-silver blue. I had to admire her appearance, long curling lashes, a petite waist, not as tall as me I assumed she must've been 12 or 13, most enchanting of all was her midnight black hair, layered and curled at various corners not forgetting the slight flick across her face. I noticed that few parts of her hair had highlights, icy-blue they were… The girl was definitely not scared if more she was totally happy…
"HEY MISS ARE YOU HERE TO RESCUE ME?"- The girl asked.
I snapped back into my sense and gave a nod. At that moment I felt the presence of alices behind me. Instantly like a flash of lightening the girl raised her hands and before I knew it those men behind me were dead.
"HURRY UP PLEASE!"- The girl pleaded. I clasped my hands against hers and concentrated hard the image of the academy came in my mind before teleporting both of us there.
End of POV.
FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- With that both Mikan and the girl vanished.
SPOOF!!!!!!- First it was Mikan who fell over and then the girl appeared. Mikan got up coughing looking around to ensure their destination. Yep they had reached the alice grounds safely.. She had fulfilled the mission. Mikan looked across at the girl who was staring at her.. Her eyes were so distant and lost…
"HEY I'M MIKAN!"- The brunette replied shaking her hands with the raven-head.
The girl gave a smile and shook it- "Hoshi, Hakumei Hoshi, Alice of the Wind."
"I have the nullification and"- Mikan was cut off when the girl suddenly gave her a hug.
"And stealing right?, I know"- the girl replied.
As she withdrew leaving a bewildered Mikan the girl again smiled and bowed- "THANK YOU! THAT PLACE WAS LIKE HELL!... I'M SO HAPPY YOU SAVED ME."
Mikan felt herself soften towards the little girl.
"No Problem Hoshi, now that you're here you'll be happy!"- Mikan said but her eyes widened when the girl suddenly started crying. Not loudly or openly, her hands were closed in a fist clenched tightly and her tears poured down her honey blushed cheeks….
"Oi! Why're you crying!???"- Mikan had no idea as to why the girl was crying but did what came to her mind first of all. She pulled the girl into a tight embrace and patted her head slowly reassuring her- "Now don't cry Hoshi, you're home now, nothing will harm you, no one will force you child."
The girl broke down under her embrace as she cried more, her tears not reaching an end- "I don't want this to be a dream, please tell me you're real… Please don't take me back there… I don't want-I- can't do this anymore!!!."
"HUSH!"- Mikan whispered as she tried to calm her down.
"I'm here so don't worry, this school is your new home, you'll make friends and maybe fall in love too"- The girl gave a sudden giggle on hearing this.
She removed herself from Mikan's embrace and got up wiping away her tears- "Thank you, I'm sorry for acting like such an amateur but I had to endure a lot, I saw things which brought fear and terror inside of me, even though I learn't to harness my powers but deep down I still felt pained."
"Like I said… Let your worries lift away cause now you're safe…!"- Mikan said smiling.. That beautiful smile which warmed people's hearts and gave them strength.
"Ai!"- The girl nodding her head vigorously and smiling at the same time.
For a few seconds both girls observed one another ….
A faint rustle caused the two to suddenly become alert. Mikan relaxed once she knew whose presence it was.
"PERSONA STOP FREAKING US OUT!"- Mikan yelled out holding on to the kid firmly.
Persona appeared out of the bushes, still wearing the same dull-black garments and his fingers containing a numbers of alice-control rings. Though this time his mask was gone revealing his crimson orbs (I don't know if you've seen his appearance but somehow it resembles Natsume you know!)….
"So you found her, Good to see you again Hoshi!"- Persona said kneeling down giving a slight bow.
Mikan heard a gasp from the little girl and realized that her hands were no longer on her.
She saw Hoshi move towards Persona and give the same kind of gesture-" Hoshi?"
Mikan asked slightly concerned.
"SERIO! Good to see you again master"- Hoshi replied.
"HAI!"- Persona exclaimed.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???"- Mikan asked feeling totally left out.
"At one time I was Hoshi's trainer until that happened"- Persona replied.
"Is it safe Serio?"- the raven again asked.
"SERIO????!!!!"- Who else other than the brunette.
"You have worked under me yet you didn't know that my real name was Serio?"- Persona asked looking upon the brunette who was red in face.
"Big deal… Ppfhhh!!!"- She exclaimed showing her tongue.
"HEE HEEE HAA HA HA HA"- Hoshi burst out with laughter at the scene.
Mikan felt happy to see Hoshi laughing and smiled. She looked towards Persona and her breathe hitched… I swear I saw that look in his eyes and then it disappeared… He was happy????... Persona isn't even near being happy… I'm the one who's always happy!!...
"That does remind me of someone doesn't it?"-Persona asked.
Hoshi stopped laughing and sat up straight that once look of joy disappearing and being clouded by sorrow.Mikan looked from Hoshi to Persona and darted her glance back at Hoshi.
There's something I don't know here… That kid has definitely has gone through hard stuff… whatever it might be….
"Take care of her Sakura just like you did for Hyuuga!"- Persona said and disappeared.
"HUH WHERE'S HE GO?????"- Mikan said aloud.
"Where he always goes.."- Hoshi replied.
"Mind explaining to me?"- Mikan asked.
"I-I'm not ready yet Mi-Chan, please try to understand"- Hoshi whispered.
Mikan walked up to the girl and grasped hold of her hands.
She held the girl's chin and brought it up to face hers.
Again Amber met Silver-blue……
"I will, so for now let's just be friends ok?"- Mikan asked.
The girl gave a huge beam of smile and nodded.
In Mikan's Room:-
"Get some rest, tomorrow is Sunday, no school so I'll show you the campus and there's something I also want to ask from you."
"What is that?"
"Tomorrow kid, for now sleep"- Mikan told her before wrapping a blanket over her.
"Good night Hoshi"- Mikan whispered.
"Good Night Big Sister"- Hoshi replied and fell asleep.
Mikan blinked on hearing the last two words- "Hoshi!..."
She gave a smile and herself fell asleep entering her slumber….
Next Day:- SUNDAY
Mikan sat up rubbing her eyes as she welcomed another new day of her life…
She jumped remembering about- "HOSHI!"
A tiny figure appeared before her smiling and yawning- "That was the best sleep of my life!."
"Oh Good Morning Hoshi!"- Mikan beamed at her before running towards her kitchen for breakfast.
Hoshi looked over at the sofa and felt guilty- "I'm sorry you had to sleep on the sofa Mi-Chan!."
"No problem Hoshi, you're like a sister to me…"- Mikan said singing softly as she cooked bacon and eggs.
"COOL!"- Hoshi exclaimed smiling..
Mi-Chan you're so nice, I can't thank god enough for bringing you in my life… It's like having her back in my life… Mi-Chan… Big Sister…. I'm sure lucky!...
"Oi! You're spacing out"- Mikan said handing her the plate of her breakfast.
"Ummmm……… This smells so good sis!"- Hoshi said taking out a glass of orange juice and handing it to Mikan.
"I know, I love cooking, it's the only subject I don't suck at"- Mikan replied smiling.
"You're so funny!!!!"- Hoshi remarked.
"Of coarse I am!!!! Word-Class entertainer at your service!"- Mikan bent her knees and gave a bow and at the same time slipped only to fall on her face.
"OUCH!"- She said aloud laughing at her stupidity.
Hoshi nearly fell off her chair in laughter- "That was awesome!"
"You're probably the first person who hasn't called me an idiot!"- Mikan said as she ate.
"You're not an idiot! Who says so???"- Hoshi asked.
"My best friend, my classmates and not forgetting Hyuuga!"- Mikan said nearly destroying her bacon.
"Ah!"- Hoshi sweat dropped.
"Who is this Hyuuga sis?"- Hoshi asked as she took the plate away from Mikan before she destroyed it.
"MY ARCH ENEMY!"- Mikan exclaimed her eyes flashing daggers.
"Ok!"- Hoshi said wondering how her sis could even have an enemy.
She suddenly smiled and giggled- "This should be fun"
"HEY WHERE'S MY FOOD!"- Mikan exclaimed.
"You were assaulting attacks on the poor bacon"- Hoshi answered back.
Mikan let out a peal of laughter- "I don't get it I'm laughing too much being around you kid!... You're being mean to me"- Mikan made a pout on her face so Hoshi had nothing to do but place the plate of food back to Mikan.
"So why'd you hate Hyuuga so much?"- Hoshi asked.
"He irritates me, makes my life hell, peeks into my skirt"- Hoshi spilled her juice on hearing this…
"Continue"- she said smiling.
"He makes fun of the patterns of panties which I wear.. I mean that's!!! He such a pervert!!!... What's the harm in wearing polka-dot panties or maybe cute bears or strawberry and oranges and"- Mikan suddenly stopped as she looked about for the raven.
"HOSHI?"- Mikan heard howls of laughter from below and saw on the floor trying hard to suppress her laughter.
"THAT'S SO CUTE!"- She exclaimed.
Mikan rolled her eyes - "Whatever."
"I never knew the black cat was so different!"- Hoshi said.
"You know about him?."
"Yeah the AAO is after you as well as Natsume, from what I've heard he's supposed to be heartless, emotionless and cold not forgetting his vicious temper, many organizations view him alone to be a merciless enemy, apart from that the only thing I know about him is his alice which is of Fire."
"Well most of the things you've heard is wrong cause Natsume is a very warm-hearted person, he always puts aside his problems just to help his friends, not only is he brave but also passionate by nature…."
"UH?!"- Now Hoshi was confused- "I thought you didn't like him!."
"I don't!.. Its just that..U-m…I-uh-…. HE IS A FREAKIN MORON!"-Mikan finished raising her fists in the air.
Hoshi sweat-dropped- "Let me guess, the guy's pompous, egoistic, has a pride harder than his stuck-up ass"- Mikan chuckled at the use of her words.
"Many girls drool over him probably you will too Hoshi"- Hoshi suddenly turned.
"I never lower myself in front of those whom I don't think eligible to"- the raven said.
"FINE FINE!!!"- Mikan said feeling the temperature suddenly turning soar.
"So tell me he embarrasses you and humiliates you and"- Hoshi was cut off by a sudden banging on the door.
"MIKAN BANG! OPEN UP BANG! BANG! BANG!"
"HOTARU!"- Mikan squealed and ran to the door opening it.
"YOU CAME TO SEE ME!"- Mikan said but was blasted against the wall by Hotaru's gun.
"My rabbits idiot!"- Hotaru demanded coldly only to be diverted by a sudden chuckle.
Hotaru's gaze landed on Hoshi who walked confidently towards the raven-head.
Silver-Blue orbs clashed against Amethyst orbs.
"Nice meeting you, I'm Hoshi; Hakumi Hoshi, Alice of the Wind, Mi-Chan saved me from the AAO yesterday."
"Imai, Hotaru Imai, Alice of Invention, This idiot's best friend and currently want my money which she"- Hotaru pointed towards the dazed brunette- "has yet to pay".
"Mi-Chan are you okay????"- Hoshi asked.
Mikan instantly jumped up bouncing with energy.
"I'm totally fine!!!!"- Both girls sweat dropped.
"I guess you're new then"- Hotaru asked.
"Hai!"- Hoshi said smiling.
Hotaru eyed the girl noting everything about her…
This one's sure to be the right one… If Mikan has some sense then she really should get this girl for her dumb revenge… Moreover she's pretty… which means fan boys.. which means pictures and that means-
"Uh? Hotaru???!!"- Mikan called out.
Hotaru came back to her senses and turned ready to leave- "Mikan I want my rabbits by today…. And Hoshi beware of some ( cough cough) boys…."- With that the inventor left leaving a frustrated brunette and a puzzled raven beauty.
"She's cold!"- Hoshi exclaimed.
"Oh I know she acts like that but she's really nice, she cares a lot for me, Hotaru loves making money… I bet she's gonna marry someone who's filthy rich"- Mikan said.
"You always find the best in people you know, it's a nice habbit!"- Hoshi gave Mikan a smile and walked towards the table settling herself on the chair.
"So tell me what else is there anything interesting about this academy???."
"Well you met Hotaru, then there's Ruka who's out for a week, he's Natsume's best friend but is the exact opposite!."
"You mean he's not warm-hearted?."
"All my friends are nice and caring, Ruka isn't you know moody…Natsume is aggressive but Ruka is more the gentle type"- Mikan said.
"Then there's Yuu, our class representative, Sumire and her fanclub for Natsume, Ruka and Youchii although now Ruka isn't available he likes Hotaru"- Mikan said.
"Youchii????"- Hoshi asked.
"YEAH THE BRAT!"- Mikan said scowling.
"He's like a chibi Natsume and always irritates me, He has the Ghost Alice and since I'm freakin scared of ghosts what does he do"-
"Annoys, Irritates and humiliates you by scaring the hell outta you with his ghosts"- Hoshi finished for Mikan.
"Why don't you get back at them???"- Hoshi asked.
"That's just what I wanna do but I can't do it alone"- Mikan said smiling at Hoshi.
"HOLD ON YOU WANT MY HELP RIGHT?"- Hoshi asked and sighed when she saw the pleading look on Mikan's face.
"FINE!"- Hoshi said.
"YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE GONNA KICK THEIR ASSESS!!!YOHOO"- Mikan jumped about springing up in joy.
Hoshi gave a smile and felt a certain burden leave her heart to be replaced by an emotion which she had lost long time ago..
"Soon"- She whispered.
"HOSHI YOU HAVE TO COME TO CENTRAL TOWN!"- Mikan screamed at her.
"I-uh- I don't have my clothes sis"- Hoshi said.
"No problem, Stand up"- Mikan ordered her.
Mikan looked at her; slanting her gaze up and down Hoshi's body…
She hopped over to her cupboard and opened it rummaging about to find the perfect outfit.
She again glanced at Hoshi and smiled. She brought out a green tube top which had a black ribbon in the middle at the top. Next she brought out a black mini skirt with pockets at the top and below and handed it to Hoshi.
"U have a slim waist, not too short in height either, long hair reaching your waist, shapely legs and thank god you're not flat-chested!"- Mikan said.
"HEY!!!"- Hoshi cried out blushing.
"Don't worry you're perfect girl!"- Mikan said smiling.
"Now go shower and change, we have to board the bus quickly"- Mikan said looking at her watch.
Hoshi gave Mikan a hug- "Thank you big sis."
"Anything for you Hoshi, we hold a certain sister-friend bond which I'm sure no one will be able to break apart."
"YEP!"- Hoshi said and walked to the bathroom.
Mikan smiled and went back to completing her own work.
