Chapter VI
Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice!
Note: this might become a twisted fanfic if I don't think. And still I'm so stressed out… I love ginban! I love Pete! (Sweat drop) anyway, let's move on… chapter 4!
Just as natsume was about to sit down under the tree again, an unpleasant voice came to greet him. It was persona, forcing natsume to go to the mission. Natsume had no choice, if he said no he knows that persona'll take Mikan hostage to make him do the missions. Of course he doesn't want that to happen. Neither does he want to harm his sister's life; he doesn't want to get her in more pain other than being blind. So natsume went to mission.
Persona: Hyuuga, another mission. I'll be sending out of the academy and make sure that no evidence will be left. Here's the mission.
Natsume: what if I told you I'm in no mood to go to that stupid errand…
Persona: you know what I'm capable of, Hyuuga. Would you like me to harm that nullifier or more to that, your sister. Would you be able to say no then?
Natsume: tch… just tell me the crap that I should take care of…
Persona: good kitty. You have to bring back the missing link to that person that the academy has been setting their eyes on. And that missing link is somewhere not far from the city. It was said that "that" missing link shows himself to people who he thinks is worthy. Be back here when you caught him. But be careful, many people are on to this person, and if you got shut, think of a way to pull yourself out of your situation.
Natsume: you talk way much persona. Are you trying to scare me, well too bad I didn't cry. What does this link look like…
Persona: (shows picture) take it so you'll know. I'll be watching you by the front gate.
Natsume: I don't need your stupid guidance… I'll take care of the guards myself…
Persona: don't be bashful, I've already taken care of them… so go now.
Natsume went out of the academy as persona has told him. He hid in the branches of the trees in the city just like a cat would do. He wore his mask and took a quick peek at the picture. Without any sweat, he saw the person, but that person was surrounded by other gang trying to get him. Natsume made a fire around the person to scare the people away. But they didn't leave, they just waited 'til the fire got out. But it will only be gone if natsume put it out. Natsume jumped off the tree and infront of the link. He talked to him and the person agreed to do so, knowing that Alice academy is safe enough for him.
Natsume: come with me if you don't wanna get burned.
Person: (nod) I've been waiting for you to get me, Alice student… let's hurry.
Natsume put out the fire and made a run for it. But the people who were after the person with him was right behind them and are about to catch them. One of those men shoots at natsume and the person hoping that they would slow down a little. The bullet hit natsume's left leg but he still didn't stop. The person with him offered a hand but natsume said no. he made another shield of fire to help them get away.
Person: are you alright kid? You need a hand??
Natsume: I'm fine now go!
Person: are you sure??
Natsume: do I sound unsure to you?! Run and I'll stop this jerks from following us… just run straight ahead and you'll see someone wearing pure black with a mask on.
Person: ok… I'll go ask that masked guy to help you
Natsume: don't you dare tell him that I need his help! Now go!
The person went on ahead and saw persona. He told persona what happened but persona just smirked. He knew that natsume would get shot once in a while.
Persona: you need not to worry you missing link. That kid is black cat… he's good…
Person: I see… there! I see the kid now…!
Persona: nice job black cat… you go on to the school clinic now.
Natsume: I don't need to… and if I die tonight, you'd better lay your hands off my sister and that girl sakura Mikan… and if you don't, I'll haunt you in your sleep.
Persona: if you die that is… (Evil smirk)
Natsume: ……. (sweating a lot in pain + bleeding) I'm leaving…
Person: that kid have guts… anyway, I hear what you're saying. That other person you're looking for is…
After natsume left, persona and the link had the conversation. As natsume walked back to his room, his sight was so unclear that he fainted. He fainted right infront of mikan's room. Mikan, being thirsty and all, opened the door and walked out with her eyes shut. She stumbled into something soft and rather big. She opened her eyes to see what it was. She was shocked to see natsume making weird faces.
Mikan: natsume!! Natsume! Wake up! Are you alright?? Natsume! (shaking natsume)
She said those words with a worried whispering voice. Natsume just made more weird faces and at the same time weird noises… Mikan touched the floor feeling something all gooey. She looked at her hand and it was pure dark red…
Mikan: what's… this?? (Gasp) its blood… blood?! Oh no natsume is bleeding so much!! Natsume! Hold on..!
Mikan had to carry natsume in her back even if he was heavy. Saving his life was more important. They reached the school clinic… Mikan panicked and took natsume in and checked him in the hospital for treatment. It took long hours before the doctor said anything.
Doctor: according to our observation, Mr. Hyuuga will be just fine. What he needs is long rest and if it weren't for you, it might have been too late. So we thank you Miss Sakura for saving mister Hyuuga. You may have a look at him now…
Mikan: thanks doctor… (runs to natsume's room)
Mikan decided to look after natsume for a while until natsume wakes up.
Mikan: what could you have done now that made you like this? Were you somewhere? Were you doing something dangerous? Or maybe, you went to another mission again! Natsume you idiot…why did you leave? Is it something unimportant that you're not telling me?? Men! You're making me nuts! I'm not even your girlfriend and you're making me worry like this?! Maybe I'm just inlo-..?! Inlove with you? Yes, maybe I am…looking at your sleeping face like this, you look so peaceful. I'll be waiting 'til you wake up, if it's okay…
Mikan feel asleep holding natsume's hand. Mikan smiled at him for no reason and she felt lighter.
