Torn Between Love and Duty
Chapter 9: Good night
Natsume's POV
"N-Natsume-kun...?" She said when she noticed my presence.
I just stood there and glared at that guy.
I watched their every move as the tuxedo-wearing, fair-skinned, blue-eyed, blond pretty boy put her down. (A/N: Sry to all the Ruka fans out there...) I flinched. He was still holding her by her tiny waist until she regained her balance.
Putting her hand on the blondie's broad shoulder, she called out to me again.
"Nat... sume-kun...?"
I clenched my fist - hard.
Who the hell this guy is? He practically forced himself on her and they were on a make-out session!! (A/N: Again, sry) I mean, i don't care what the hell they were doing here, what will happen to my mission if "something" happened?! I mean, Persona will kill me if she's...
Ahem... I have no idea why i'm so angry and no hell in why my heart is clenching in pain.
Ignoring my stupid feelings, i lost control of my alice. I mind was just focusing on one thing, destroy everything i can see.
Wild fire was spreading in a spiral shape around my body. Everything around me burnt. Including the beautiful paradise which she cherishes - the cherry blossom garden.
Soon, everything is covered in smoke and the only thing i can see is the scarlet flame around my body.
I glared back at the blondie. He just stood there staring at me with his shocked eyes. Smirking, i sent my fire towards him while enjoying the savouring sensation of his fears.
Suddenly, my fire stopped as i felt someone holding my hand.
I turned around, my eyes widen, shocked at what my vision is telling me.
It's her... she was holding my arm as if her life was depending on it. A white light was glowing around her body. She was using her nullifying alice, like last time in the festival. Only this time, she looks extremly pale and she was coughing out blood.
What the hell...?!
Looking at her now feels like a thousand needles are poking their way through my iced-covored heart.
"Natsume... let's stop playing this game now... ok...?" She was smiling at me. A beautiful angelic smile that somehow made me feel... relief.
I just stared at her, unable to control the mixed emotions.
Suddenly, she collapsed.
Just as i was trying to catch her, blondie raced me to it. He catched her first and gave me a glare -which i hate receiving- before he left.
I just stood there, dumbfounded as i wonder how and why i lost control of my emotions...
Damn... what the hell happened to me...?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruka's POV (A/N: Yay!!)
I quickly took Mikan to the palace doctor. She's in a critical situation. I was panicking, and at the same time, hopeless as i cannot find the doctor. I'm guessing the stupid doctor went to the castle ball room.
Seeing her like this saddens me. She was not as cheerful and bubbly like the past years. Instead, her pain and sadness is masked behind her fake smiles and laughters. Even though she was trying to look cheerful, the sad aura around her never goes away.
Everytime she's using her alice, she'll get weaker, and her life span shortens. The people of the country didn't know. All of them thought that her alice is unlimited, powerful... and dangerous...
Blinded by fear and helplessness, they loathed her, glared at her, cursing at her whenever they can.
But what they didn't know is... she is protecting them. Despite the hell she'd going through, she oftenly went to secret missions to defend the people against the AAOs with her nulifying alice. Because of that, she's gotten more and more weak. Soon... she'll die.
I held on to her tighter. Cursing at everything she's going through.
Suddenly, my cheeks came in contact with her cold hands.
I stared at her pale state.
"Ne... Ruka-sama... after i get better, maybe we can go out and play, like we always do." She was trying to comfort me.
I put her on her bed and burried her cold hand into mine. Hoping that they'll get warmer.
"Mi-chan..." I chuckled a little when i called her using her childhood name. She smiled... "After this, let's run away."
Her eyes got wider and she just stared at me, trying to understand my words.
I smiled. Heh... typical dense girl.
"Let's run away... and get married..." I smiled at her expressions.
"M-Married...? But... Ruka-sama..."
I sealed her lips with mine as i stopped her from talking. She blushed heavily.
"Let's talk about this after you get better." I smiled at her.
"...Hai... Oyasuminasai... Ruka-sama..."
She closed her eyes but was still blushing.
What a timid girl... I smiled.
I guess that's how i ended up falling in love with her...
