Hey people! Here's the long-awaited(and I mean loooooong-awaited) Chapter 4!
I DO NOT OWN GAKUEN ALICE!
The following night when I left to fetch Natsume, they went out to grab some more snacks. What, were they planning on keeping him hostage? Actually, they might do that…
At the mansion the lock was replaced with something new and much more sturdy than the old one. A quick scale of the fence and run of the lawn and I was inside. I saw him on the sofa, watching T.V., waiting for me.
"Sup loser?" I asked.
"Hn." Does he always talk in short, not even real word phrases? Ugh, whatever.
"Hey, get your lazy ass up. We're going to my place."
"Ew. Why?" What, does he think I live in a ratty box or something? Well, I could, but only hobos do that, not street fighters.
"'Cause the gang wants to meet you, duh. Now come on, get moving slowpoke." He slowly got up from the couch and switched off the T.V. He was dressed in all black attire again, clearly ready to do some sneaking.
We ran across the grounds, feeling like a routine already, climbed the gate, and started walking down the street. He had a little trouble, consider he was shot in the leg, but we made it away fine.
"What's with your clothes?" Well, that was random.
"What do you mean?"
"They're all baggy and shit. What, do you get them from salvation army or something?"
"Nah, we get clothes from houses we raid. Apparently, all girls my size are still into Barbie dolls and pink stuff, and I need black things, so I have to get a larger size. But it's not that bad 'cause I'm used to it. Ever since I was a little girl, so no biggie."
"You still are a little girl."
"No dip, Sherlock. Even Watson could figure that one out." I stuck my tongue out at him and he just shrugged.
When we got to the hideout, I knew what was coming.
We walked into the hallway and I yelled, "Hey bitches! Don't you try to scare the boy, 'cause I'll kick your asses if you do!" Yeah, they probably won't listen to my threats.
We walked up the creaking steps for me to find that no one was in sight. Great…
"Hello, bastard." Tsubasa…He appeared out of the shadows, right behind Natsume. What is he thinking!?!
"Shut up, shadow." Ha ha, nice Hyuuga. And that did shut Tsubasa up! He probably expected Natsume to be scared or something. I gotta say, this kid isn't half bad.
Hotaru stepped out of her hiding spot and walked up to Natsume, face blank and somewhat eerie. "You…are an ass."
I burst out laughing. Natsume looked taken aback, but he composed his posture. I gave Hotaru a high five, which she returned, but she kept staring at Natsume. "Sooo…" This was awkward. Everyone's staring at him…
"Are you freaks just going to look at me all night, 'cause I would rather be shot in the leg again if you are."
"Little punk-ass…" Tono started mumbling.
"Well, if you are just begging for some action, why don't you join us on a raid, hmm?" Misaki, you clearly don't know this boy. He takes stupid challenges…
"Fine. Let's go." Ugh, I knew it!
"Uhh…I was kidding. I didn't think you would actually come."
He turned slowly to look at her, staring her down with his crimson eyes. "I don't care. Let's go." Assertive much?
Everyone reluctantly grabbed their empty bags and crept out of the house.
"Ok, we're going to hit Westway Avenue. All the houses but the big mansion, they're hosting a neighborhood party there." Tsubasa gave us the lowdown. Lay low, get in, get the stuff, get out. Easy enough. "Mikan, take Hyuuga with you."
"What!?! No way. I'm the best raider here. If you want good stuff, I need to go alone."
Smack! Hotaru hit me on the back of my head. "Don't be so full of yourself. It's your fault he's here anyway. Just take him, baka." I looked around the room to see everyone silently agreeing, so obviously there was no choice but to take him with me.
"Fine." I said as bitterly as I could. "But when I come back with crappy stuff, don't come crying to me."
"You better come back with good stuff or we won't let you back in the hideout." Hotaru you are heartless!
"I hate you…"
"Stop blubbering around and lets get this show on the road." Tono led everyone out of the house and to Westway Avenue. "Ok, Hotaru, hit 7430, Misaki, 7435, Tsubasa, 7433, and Mikan, you and Hyuuga hit 7439. I'll get 7437. Meet back here in an hour. If you run into trouble, go back to the hideout. Everyone got it?"
"You got it, chief." Tsubasa did a fake salute and we all ran quietly into the dark.
I started searching quietly for a key to get into the house. Most people in the rich part of town did, and usually in a similar hiding spot. It wasn't in any of the usual spots(under the mat, in the flower pot, on top of the doorframce, etc.), so I was forced to get in through the window. "Hey, Natsume, gimme a boost. I need to get to that window."
He put his hands together in the lifting position and hoisted me up. I grabbed onto the ledge and used my amazing break-in skills to open up the window. "Hold on, I'll be right down to open the door." I ran through the house taking a quick survey of where everything was. The only thing I cared about was where the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen were (they are the main targets) and weather or not the family has any pets, mainly dogs. We never hit a house that has a dog though, only ones with, at most, cats or birds.
I opened the door for him and I ran to the kitchen, with him right on my trail. We only had an hour, so this had to be quick. I checked the time; ten minutes into the raid. I opened the pantry to see a goldmine of cereal and other food that made my mouth water. "Go to the bathroom, third door on the left. Grab some soaps and small towels. Shampoo if it's small enough they won't notice it's gone." I directed him and he followed my command.
I found oodles of Tupperware in the cabinets, so I threw cereal and other bits of snack food into four containers. I also grabbed a couple juice boxes, probably for a little kids lunch.
I found Natsume trying to find shampoo when I was done. Good, he was done his part, and he didn't overstuff his bag! We went upstairs where I sent him to the parents room to grab some clothes for us while I went looking for something I could take. I passed a little boys room and came to a preteen's room, obviously a girl by the purple bedspread. I decided to look for some underwear and bras real quick, since we still had about twenty-five minutes left. I found her drawer filled with High School Musical and Hannah Montana bras and panties. I neatly sorted through to see if there was anything suitable; Anyway, I secret I've learned on raids is that usually the stuff on the bottom isn't used as much, so it's less likely to be noticed as missing.
The last few things in the drawer were geometric designs like stripes, plaid, and polka-dots. I held up the underwear and bra in front of me, checking the tags juts to make sure they would fit me.
"Nice choice, Polka." Natsume was standing in the doorway with his bag stuffed full. I slowly turned to glare at him.
"Shut. Up." I quickly stuffed two bra and underwear sets into my bag (a blue and pink polka-dotted set and a striped lime green and forest green set). I walked as collectedly as I could to the parent's room. "Where's the underwear drawer?"
"I don't think they're gonna fit you, flat-chested." He had a smug look on his face.
"'I don't think they're gonna fit you.'" I mocked in a childish voice. "Duh! I'm seeing if they'll fit Misaki and Hotaru, dumbass! Now show me the damn underwear drawer!" I fought to keep my voice in a whisper-yell.
He pointed to a drawer on the top left and I quickly sorted through them; Nothing would fit either of them. "Ok, let's go. You head out the door, and I'll lock it behind you. I need to go out the window, so you better stick around to catch me." We hurried through the house. When we got to the door, I gave him my stuff to hold so it wouldn't be another thing to catch when I jumped from the window.
I pulled the window shut and carefully put the screen back into place. I dangled from the ledge for a minute and then dropped into Natsume's awaiting arms.
When we got to the meeting spot, the rest of the gang was already done. We talked about what we got until we got within seeing distance of the hideout. Then we saw it; There were police cars, sitting right in front of the hideout…
Oh my God! I'm so so soooo sorry for this late update! I had make-up work until the last week of school. Then I had massive writers block!
