KoKo's Pov
We were inside the creepy cafe. Being curious I read everyone's mind aside from Mikan and Natsume's. And in one short word I can discrible what everone was thinking about, Scared. From the outside the cafe looks small but inside its huge, we were currently standing in the hallway. I look around me, there was many doors, probably one million, I turn my head up, there was about ten floors. How do we find the map? There's too many rooms in this cafe.
I feel everyone turning their heads to Mikan, waiting for some kind of guidelines. I did the same. We don't have any experiance with these dark magic, only seemed like Mikan and Natsume knew, the rest of us was clueless. Mikan was still in deep thought and I was getting tired of standing, I look to my side, there was a small chair, perfect, just what I needed. As I was about to sit down, "WAIT!" I quickly standed up. "What?" Mikan looked at me like I was stupid. Well maybe I was but I do have my common sense. "Do not touch anything." What? just sitting how much of a trouble would that cost? "Let me demostrate the trouble that would happen if you did sit down." Mikan said as she read my mind. Probably copied my alice. She walked closer to me and took out a small tooth pick from her pocket and gently dropped it on the chair, and the tooth pick immediatly sunk down into the chair. I dropped my jaw. I sliently thank Mikan again and again for saving my poor butt, even Kami-sama wouldn't do anything. Mikan looked at me straight in the eye, "Now do you understand?" I gluped, I can tell she was mad, mad at the fact I intreputed her thinking time and annoyed by the fact I was so stupid. I try to read her mind before I reply but she blocked my alice, harsh. Notice that she was still staring at me I replied a simple, "Hai..."
Mikan turned back, I sighed, that was utterly scary, maybe more scary than what we're going to see next though if I say that out loud I know I will regret it soon.
Mikan's Pov
I hope that Koko realize I just read his mind, he cannot let his guard down so much. Moron. I looked at everyone and they looked back at me. I can feel my eyes rolling by itself, seriously I know that Natsume wanted to go already but didn't want to speak up, another moron, I started walking to a door, I didn't hear anybody following me, I turned back, "Are we going stand there or are we going somewhere?" I was getting annoyed by the second. And believe me I'm not a very paitent person. I can tell they were frightened well everyone except Natsume and Hotaru. They all followed me and so, we walked.
I didn't know where I was going nor did I cared, I can tell the rest of the gang (aside from Natsume) were tired, even Hotaru tried not to show it but her poker face was slowly cracking. Also what kind of friend won't notice that? I continued walking though I did slower my pace so my friends can catch up. Thats weird I said 'my friends' its amazing how those two words can make me feel so happy and grateful.
I stopped. I knew my friends were completely out of breathe at this moment and looked at my left, I pointed to the door, "Lets go in." They all nodded. Natsume was probably curious to see what was inside the door and went to open the door, therefore leaving me following behind him. I stayed extremely close to him when we went through the door, not because of any sort of feelings of what-so-ever, because I was curious what was inside.
There was a bright blinding light that seemed to come out of nowhere, maybe I should of brought some of those special sunglasses from Hotaru, I took a quick glance of Hotaru and no doubt she has her sunglasses on. Really? I never even knew she had it one on her. Doesn't she have an extra pair. I took glance at Ruka, Usagi has sunglasses on. Usagi??? Really? Usagi? Instead of me??? The bright light slowly fadded revealing the scene we were in. Soon enough I can see perfectly and Hotaru took off her sunglasses as well did Usagi. Natsume was actually gripping on to my wrist, I have no idea why, Nonoko was still covering her eyes with her hands but now slowly putting them down, Yuu was cleaning his glasses. Anna and Koko was laughing, why were they laughing I have no idea, did they got some rare diseases or something. Nope. I look at Anna's pocket, there was a piece of cake that was wrapped. It was just some laughing cake, they'll stop laughing in about three minutes. Hotaru was just standing there emotionless as always and Ruka was patting the sunglass stealer, I meant to say Usagi.
I felt Natsume loosen his grip on my wrist and took this chance to pull my arm back, so I slowly and gently pull it back. I look around me, we were in some kind of maze. I don't get that. It was all old and dusty. Suddenly I heard a loud snore. I was taken back, what the hell was that. I looked at everyone's faces. They were all a bit startled. Koko gluped, "Please tell me that was one of you." I shook my head slowly, so did everyone else. "If it wasn't us then who was it." Koko questioned. I didn't blam him being so curious now. I look at the walls at the side. There was a huge sign on it. Labyrinth. My heart stopped. I shakily pointed to the sign. Everyone turned and read the sign. Their face that was once normal color turned pale, pale like the top of Moutain Fuji. I can feel the colors in my face paled as well.
Labyrinth? Where the hell is a door, I swiftly turned hoping to see a brown wooden door like the one we came in, but luck was not on my side, instead there was a dusty grey wall. Seriously, luck was completely not on my side today, first we get into a Labyrinth with an Minotaur which was suppose to be dead, and now there is now door? Shit. Now we have to go through this maze to get to an exit, and barely anyone can do that without an string, even the person who designed or built it, he can barly get out! So how can we? I'm damn freaking out right now. I have a new song I need to sing for my new album, I know I shouldn't think about that right now but it is still important to me. I don't wanna die by something that is suppose to be dead!
I'm way pissed right now, mostly people suppose to be freaking out and scared to death but not me I'm pissed. Kami-sama what did I do? I found myself reading Natsume's mind, and guess what he's pissed just like me and just swore a huge vocablury, I never even used the word son of a b*tch till now. A dark aura surronded me and Natsume anybody who has an I.Q of 1, will notice it. It was so visible.
Natsume's Pov (Beware of bad words)
Labyrinth? What the fucking hell!! And I'm guessing the shitty snore was from the thing thats suppose to be dead and I'm not talking about Persona I'm talking about the damn half man, half bull thing! What the fuck, I do not want to end my life like that! I rather end it with Persona beating the crap out of me. I thought that son of a bitch Theseus killled that stupid bull man thing. And I never heard that we have to kill it that Theseus guy should of or did he actually just came out but never killed the bull man and just lied to get glory!
I calmed my breathing down by a little. Another huge snore echoed through the empty maze, for crying out loud its a maze! A maze! And not just any maze a maze with a bull man. How great! Man I'm not doing a good job calming myself down. Probably Ruka can do a better job than I.
Thats it I'm not going to stand here forever, I turn to see Imai, "Do you have a piece of string." She looked at me and took out a tiny gadget from her pocket and pressed a button. Zap! And came out a overstuffed backpack. She started to dig through it, and took out two globy things, a huge plastic bag with what it appears food, and a fishing pole. Okay why does she even have a fishing pole? Though the corner of my lips slowly curved in a smirk. Polka went to help Imai to disassemble the fishing pole. "Thank ha goodness ha ha ha!" I heard the girl with the cooking alice say. "Yeah ha, good ha thing ha ha!!" Koko added. I glared at their direction. They notice my glare right away and laughed nervously. I knew they ate some laughing cake but at this moment being stuck in the Labyrinth with a bull man and not to mention Labyrinth is a very complicated maze, I did not find this a funny situation. It's almost like laughing before you got shot in the heart with a gun. It's not funny.
"Okay we got the string." I heard Polka said. I opened one of my eyes sleepily. I was currently leaning against the wall comfortably. Polka took notice of my poistion, and gave me her 'Look' the one where she has her hands on her hips and her facial experssion was a simple 'Really?' Look. I muttered some unintellgent words, And I'm pretty sure she had heard me, because she just flared one of her cold glares at me. I slowly got up from the position and now was standing. Polka gave me a small nod in approval. Soon enough, everyone was gathered in a small circle looking at Polka and was eager to listen to the plan of her brillent mind and thought about.
Polka grabbed a near by stick and started to draw on the sandy ground. She began to draw some wavy lines. After about five minutes or so she put the stick down. We all look at the picture very curiously. I soon realize what she drew though looking at the confused faces of Ruka, girl with cooking alice, girl with chemistry alice and Koko. They were confuse. Of course the blackmailer was smart enough to figure out what it was. "Ano...Mikan-chan what is it?" The twins look a like said in sync. Surprisingly Polka had kept her stonic face still. "Its kinda like a map of the Labyrinth though not exact."
Ruka's Pov (lol i finally did ruka's pov)
I should really thank Anna and Nonoko for asking, if I ask, Imai's probably going to tap the whole thing and when we go back to G.A the first thing I find is a newspaper saying 'Ruka Nogi is dumb'. "Okay, so we just tie the string to that hook right there, and then we'll try our best to get out of here and not to be cornered by the minotaur. Also...." Mikan's voice slowly disappeared to me and I glanced at Imai. She was skillfully listening to Mikan about her plan, though at this point I can hardly care. I felt that everything around me and Imai disappeared, there was only me and her, nobody else. She suddenly turned and face me, my heart stopped, I can feel my cheeks getting hotter by the second. "You there?" The voice did not belong to Imai but it belonged to.....
Natsume?
I finally was back to reality, everyone was looking at me funny, from the corner of my eye, I saw Koko laughing like crazy. Mikan ignoring what happened standed up and so did Natsume and everyone else. She went near a hook which is just weird, seriously a hook in a maze? Anyway she tied a double knot on the hook and began to unwind the string with everybody, including me, following her. We don't really know what we're going to face.
We've been now walking about one hour nonstop and my feet we're killing me. I slowed down and I leaned my head down trying to catch me breathe. Usagi probably saw how tired I was and jumped out from my arms looking at me. Suddenly somebody touched my shoulder. It was firm grip. I looked up and surprisingly, it was Imai. "Nogi, hurry up or you'll be lost. So get up now." Even though it wasn't something normal people would blush over this, I blushed. I slowly picked up Usagi back into my arms and began to walk with Imai at my side. Quickly we catched up with the rest of the gang and walked right into a closing. There was no way out. We turned around so we can go another way, but instead we found the minotaur.
Fear frozed everyone in place. The minotaur look exactly what the Greek Myth said it looked like, Half man, half bull, its eyes were glowing red. "UGGGHHHH!!" It let out an angry snort. I guess it doesn't like company. I gulped and so did everyone else. I wonder if we will survive or be dead like other foolish people who dared to enter here. The Labyrinth, a.k.a, where the minotaur lives.
