A/n: Oh my goodness, I can't believe its been soo long since the last time I've updated. If any of my old readers are reading this then thank you so so so much for coming back, and if your new then welcome aboard! Also, sorry the chapter is so short :/

I woke up the next morning barely conscious of my surroundings. Looking around I noticed that I was sleeping in the dirt secluded in a dark unfamiliar forest, but hey most forests are unfamiliar to me anyways.

Sitting up I searched around for Natsume. I couldn't believe how unbelievably supportive he was last night. Even though the situation we were in definitely isn't most desirable, I wouldn't rather be here with any other person then the one who can protect me the most.

A rustling noise coming from behind me interrupted my thoughts and caused me to whip my head around. I assumed that it was just Natsume and not the Organization or Lucas coming to get me, but you know what they say to assume is to make an ass out of you and me. Looking around I grabbed a pretty hefty branch just in case. Better to be prepared then kidnapped I always say.

Peering further into the woods I recognized to vaguely familiar forms walking in my general direction and I immediately dropped the stick, er branch…yeah who am I kidding, it was a stick and we all know it.

"Hotaru! Ruka-pyon! How did you find us?" I began running towards the duo but when I wasn't shot from nowhere I started becoming suspicious. "Ne you two, what's the matter?"

"Polka! Run!" I turned around just in time to see Natsume rushing out of the woods with the Organization hot on his trail.

"But Natsume Hotaru and Ruka-pyon are here, isn't that great?"

"They're not who you think they are, they have the transforming alice." He said as he ran up beside me.

Gasping I grabbed Natsume's hand and rushed into the forest as quick as I could. There was absolutely no was I was getting caught again.

"Oi, do you even know where you're going?" Natsume asked, expertly matching my pace.

"Do I look like I know where we're going? Its not like I've ever been in this part of the forest before."

Glancing behind me I noticed the men closing in. Just as I was about to inform Natsume about our little predicament he noticed them and took off even faster dragging me behind.

"Run faster Polka." I couldn't believe how fast he was running, it was like he had some brand new energizer bunny batteries installed and was now on jet speed mode.

Looking back at me, Natsume commented about how unbelievably slow I was moving and maneuvered me in such a way that I as I took a step on my right foot I was propelled into the air and twisted around in such a manner that I landed gracefully on Natsume's back. Only he could make me look graceful while I was unceremoniously launched into the air while running for my life.

Natsume ran with a grace that was strikingly similar to that of a cat-light on his feet with the quickest of reflexes. Suddenly all the names the other students made sense, I always assumed that they called him the black cat because he was really bad luck to be around.

Craning my neck around to see how close the men were I was happily surprised to see that we had lost them. As I turned my head back around to face front I noticed a small opening in a cliff side.

"Ne Natsume, maybe we should hide in there until they leave to search somewhere else."

With an almost unnoticeable nod of his head, Natsume took off in the direction of the cave. After almost two hours of camouflaging the cave, Mr. Perfect finally deemed it "hidden".

While I was taking a look at our handy work my mind began to wander to Hotaru and Ruka. We might never be able to see them again after all and that thought scared me out of my mind.

"They'll come for us."

"Huh?"

"Those two, they're two of the most determined people I know and even if we told them not to come they still would."

Thinking about two of my best friends coming to our rescue put a great big goofy smile on my face. "Stop smiling like that, it makes you look like that gay teacher."

"Ne Natsume?" Receiving a mere grunt in response, I took that as a signal to continue. "Do you think Hotaru has finally fallen for the same spell that she has him under?"

"I dunno polka, that's not something for us to decide."

"I think if she does fall under the spell they'll be together forever. I want somebody who'll love me like that too. What do you think Natsume?"

"I think that you're naïve and stupid. And that banana underwear you wear every Tuesday is ten times smarter than you."

"Na-Na-NATSUME! I wear them because they are good luck and Jin-Jin is always extra hard on Tuesdays!"

"What ever you say bananas."

Ruka and Hotaru

"Hey Imai, did you just get the feeling that Mikan and Natsume are arguing again?"

Imai looked at Ruka with just a hint of a smile glistening in those dark violet eyes of hers.

"I think we will feel those two arguing for a very long time to come."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Nothing, let's go. We need to find and bring our idiots home."
