A/N: No Alice Academy in this one-shot, not sure where I was going with it but I liked the idea so just decided to do it (I know it's not very good, I'm just really busy lately and it's hard to find time to write) :3

13 - Hunted

She followed behind him, breath coming out in short gasps and her eyes wet with tears. She could feel the bullet hole in her side, the warm, sticky blood painting her skin. Natsume's hand clutching her own was the only thing keeping her standing, keeping her moving forward.

"In here."

He pulled her into a dark alley way, pressing himself back against the wall and making her do the same, his arm crossing over her chest to keep her back, but he kept a firm grip on her hand.

"They came down here! Look for a girl with pigtails and a boy with red eyes!"

There were loud footsteps slapping against the pavement, getting closer and closer to their hiding spot.

"We need to go." Natsume let out a heavy breath, his body shuddering at the action, "Come on."

He began to pull her along again, but her feet stumbled and he hurried to catch her, his arms wrapping loosely around her waist to keep her upright.

"Check down here!"

Mikan heard Natsume swear, and a pair of running footsteps get nearer and nearer. She opened her mouth to tell Natsume to run, to leave her behind, but he moved them backwards and pressed her against the wall, lips moving to cover her own. It wasn't really a kiss, and she could barely register anything but the pain in her ribs, but the feeling of his mouth against hers still made her feel warm inside. One of his hands moved up to untie her hair, letting it flow over her shoulders, and the other pressed slightly against her bloodied clothing. She opened her eyes to see his own screwed shut and when the footsteps stopped beside them she did the same.

"Have you seen a boy and girl around here? They're heavily wounded."

Natsume pressed her harder against the wall and she raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck just as her knees began to shake, threatening to drop her.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!"

She could feel the man drawing closer, and then Natsume growled against her lips, angling his head and beginning to actually kiss her, his mouth moving against her own.

"Stupid kids, get a room."

He began walking away, his heavy footsteps dying down until they were gone completely. Natsume didn't move away from her, continuing to kiss her in a way that send chills up her spine and made her head spin.

"N-Natsume," she breathed against his lips, before her knees gave out and she began slipping down the wall, Natsume clumsily attempted to catch her again and keep her up, but she was already blacked out
