Knock Knock

''Come in,'' Shiki the Middle School Principal said.

I carefully opened the door and sauntered in with shoulders high and self-confident aura admitting from me. I perched myself in one of the comfy red chairs and put my gaze at the Middle School Principal.

''Oh, well greetings, Hyuuga. What brings you here?'' he queries politely and civilly.

''I want to lead a revolt,'' I straight-forwardly reveal with determined eyes just like Mikan's the other night.

''A revolt?''

''Yes, a revolt. A revolt against the ESP. I want to take him down.''

''Hyuuga, we are in no condition to rebel against the ESP. We would be risking innocent lives if we did that. It's far too risky. Is this because of Sakura-san? You don't need to fret about her, my boy. I can assure you she is safe.''

''You think locked inside a room unable to go outside, without any contact with friends is room is safe? That may be true, but it's not right. She has no freedom in there. It's cruel. It's inhumanly,'' I state.

''We have no choice. Sakura-san in custody is part of the deal with the ESP and I can't break it. ''

''Screw that deal!'' I squall in rage.

''Please call down, Hyuuga-san. There is no point to argue here. It won't help the situation. Right now, you just have to stay put and wait for whatever happens.''

I jolt up from my seat. ''I'm not going to wait. I'm going to take matters in my own hands. I'm going to take down the ESP and save my girlfriend. Excuse me.''

I spin around and exit out of the principal's office.

''That Hyuuga, he just doesn't give up,'' Shiki muttered whiling rubbing his temples and then immediately froze,'' Wait, did Hyuuga just say, 'girlfriend,'?''

I started to stroll aimlessly around the school campus. Once I ambled fully one lap around the school, I started to do another one. Once I reached halfway of my second lap, I unpleasantly encountered my DA teacher. I rolled my eyes and grunted at the same time before deeply sighing.

''Persona, what do you want? Another mission?''

Actually I wouldn't actually mind doing a mission right now. I would like to take my wrath and frustration out on the Anti-Alice Organization, I thought.

''I overheard your little conversation with the MSP,'' he answered with a devilish grin.

''How?''

''Let's just say the walls in the principal's room are not soundproof.''

''I see…''

''I'm interested in your idea. I want you to join me and help me assassinate the ESP.''

''What!'' I ejaculated out without thinking, but then reclaim my composure. ''Why? I thought you were on good terms with him.''

''You went back in time and saw what I did to that little kitten's father. I regretted that day ever since. The ESP, I thought he was a good man, but no, he only used me. Yukihira-san was a good man. He took care of me in my young days like I was his son, yet I betrayed him. I feel getting rid of the ESP will heal my sorrow and remorse of my past. So, will you help me get rid of the ESP?''

I stared at him, shock and startled. Then I realized something.

''I don't trust you. You must be planning something else,'' I reply with suspicion.

''I can't believe one of my top students is distrusting me. It's so sad,'' he responds in sarcasm. ''Then how can I prove that I'm not lying and I really want to assassinate the ESP?''

I knew he was joking about that question, but I for one didn't care if he did. I had to find out if he was really serious or not on this revolt against that merciless, callous ESP.

''I need some help from a little blackmailer,'' I said. ''Follow me.''

''What the hell are you doing to me?'' Persona questions harshly and violently.

As soon as Persona sat down on the coarse, prickly wooden chair, his wrists and ankles were securely and firmly strapped to the seat by a metal band. Imai then proceeded by positioning a metallic helmet on his head.

''This is Invention 10424. If a person tells a lie, this helmet will electrify you with a thousand bolts,'' Imai answered coldly and impassively. ''Hyuuga, you can start with the questions now.''

''How do you feel about the ESP?'' I interrogate with a poker-face.

''I don't think he's fit to be a principal,'' Persona simply responded.

''Do you really feel sorry on what you did to Mikan's father?''

''Yes, I do,'' he uttered silently.

''Do you really want to assassinate the ESP?''

Imai widen her eyes for a spilt second and then reverted back to normal. I guess she was surprised when I said that, I thought.

''I do,'' he answered assertively.

''There was so no electricity to fry him during the three questions you asked, Hyuuga, so he's telling the truth,'' Imai added while enjoying some scrumptious crab cakes on her desk.

''So are you going to join me or what, Black Cat?''

''Yes, I will,'' I turned to face Imai,'' you can let him go now. I'm done interrogating him.''

''Finally, get me out of this damn contraption,'' Persona belligerently complained.

''Persona, do you have someone that's romantically special to you?'' Hotaru asked out of the blue.

My eyes widen and I placed my eye contact over to Persona. His spikey, overwhelming hair was covering his lifeless eyes. I would love to see what he was going to say, I said in my mind. I placed on a smirk and waited for his answer.

''I don't, you witch,'' Person answered.

As expected from Imai's invention, a luminous electrifying light bursts around and in Persona. It was the thousands of lightning bolts. I formed a tiny ''O'' on my lips. My eyes glanced over to Imai who had a plain, blank façade and was still munching on some crab cakes. I was full of content since I saw my demon-like teacher who sent me on ruthless missions getting painfully zapped. For once, you finally did something good, I thought.

''Liar,'' Imai boringly replied and wiped her mouth with a folded napkin. ''Is the person you like a student?''

''NO!'' Person retorted.

ZAP!

''Tell the truth,'' she said as she chugged down her last crab cake.

''Yes, she is,'' he gritted though his teeth.

Even though I was enjoying this fun interrogation of my teacher and finding out his secret love, this had to end. I knew once he was freed he would seriously injury me and Imai until we were practically dead. I want my body to be its best when I fight the ESP.

''Imai, let him go. Aren't you satisfied enough?'' I said with my arms folded.

''Whatever,'' she uttered.

The Ice Queen pressed a red button. There was a loud snap before Persona was finally unrestrained.

''You little pesk,'' he mumbled and then faced towards me. ''Hyuuga, meet me in the woods 9 o'clock sharp. If you are not there by 9, I'm proceeding with the plan without you.''

With that, Persona left Imai's room.

''Hey Hyuuga, what are you planning with Persona?"' Imai interrogated.

''Nothing,'' I plainly answered and headed for the door.

''It's about the ESP, isn't it. You're going to take him down, so Mikan will be freed.''

''Yea, so what. You're not even in it, so don't concern about it.''

I placed my hand on the door knob, but then-

Zap!

My right hand shuddered and I staggered back a bit. There was a little red streak on my palm. My whole body felt so numb and slightly shaky.

''Damn it,'' I cursed.

''I want to help.''

''How could you possibly help?'' I responded with my eyebrows raised.

Baka!

''Don't think that I'm worthless or weak,'' she said boldly.

''Whatever,'' I said in a provoked attitude.

''I'm going to help you or not. I want to save that child too. It's been 2 years she's been locked there. It's time for her to be freed.''

''Fine,'' I plainly reacted.

She raised her baka gun near my face.

''Don't give me that attitude or else I'll-''

Knock! Knock!

Thankfully, she dangled her dangerous weapon beside her and then gaited over to the door. I stayed close behind her. She gradually opened the door. It revealed a red-faced Ruka-pyon with an inwardly and awkward smile.

''What is it bunny boy?'' she questions coldly.

''Imai...,'' he murmured while covering his sapphire eyes with his blond mane. ''Hotaru…''

My eyes rose. I never heard Ruka-pyon say Imai's name before,'' I thought. I stayed behind the little blackmailer, so Ruka-pyon doesn't see me.

''I h-have s-something t-to s-say,'' he stutters with a blushing face.

''Spit out, Nogi.''

''I…..about you….I li…,'' he mumbled softly, but then bursts out the words I never imagined my best friend say to a cold-hearted girl like Imai. ''I like you!''

The confessor boldly, unpredictably cupped the raven-hair girl's cheek with his warm hands and leaned in on her lips. I couldn't hold my posture. I gasped and instinctively faltered back, taken by the surprised and in my scene disturbing love scene. Once their lips distance away from each other, Ruka-pyon opened his eyes.

''Baka, you are embarrassing yourself,'' she simply uttered.

''Sorry…''

''I like you too, bunny boy,'' she confessed with a minuscular smile.

Ruka-pyon beamed largely with contentment obviously seen on his façade. Well time for me to ruin this lovey-dovey moment, I deviously thought. I stepped aside from Imai therefore I was able to be seen by my best friend.

''Oi, Ruka-pyon.''

''N-N-N-N-NATSUME! W-Why are y-you h-h-here!'' he shouted with disconcerted and incredulous eyes.

''I needed your girlfriend for something. Don't worry, I did nothing to her,'' I answered plainly.

''What did you needed her for?'' Ruka-pyon questioned with curiosity.

''He asked me for my help to get rid of the ESP and rescue Mikan,'' Imai blankly answered for me.

''What the hell! I didn't even ask you for your help,'' I said loudly.

''Oh! I want to help out as well. Is it just the three of us who's revolting against the principal?'' Ruka-pyon question hyped-up, yet still solemn and stern on the subject.

''Persona, the DA teacher,'' I reply.

''Wow, really? I can't believe it,'' Ruka reacted whiling scratching the back of his head.

''Hey,'' Imai rudely interrupted. We rotated around and witness her occupied on one of her odd inventions. ''Would you stop chit-chatting and start thinking of some strategies for the mission? I'm already working on an invention that will help us, so I want you two do something useful that will help us tonight.''

''Right, Hotaru!'' Ruka-pyon instantly responded and rushed over to her side.

''Who ever said that you can call me by my first name, Ruka-pyon?'' she question, giving a death glare to him.

''We're dating, so I thought we should call each other by my first name…wait you said Ruka-pyon!''

Baka!

''Stop fooling around and get to work,'' she said changing the subject.

''Hai!'' Ruka-pyon answered.

CRASH

At the same time, the ESP crashed his lips on Mikan and Natsume clattered through the window and shards of glass fell on the floor.

''MIKAN!'' I shrieked and hopped of the creature.
