Yayy, Chapter 7 already!
Aoi is Natsume's younger sister. Some people know, and some people don't because she's not really introduced in the Anime. I think she, like Azumi Yuka (Mikan's mother) is shown more in the manga.

The festival ended a day ago. People were chattering about the concert, and wondering who the people who were in the concert were. (They more masks, remember?)
The group was sitting around in homeroom, listening to the people talk.
They really didn't care what people said.
Suddenly, someone appeared at the door. He wore a white mask that covered around his eyes.
"Sakura," He said.
Natsume heard his voice and glared at him.
He hated him. This man…Persona.
Mikan's eyes were sort of blank as she followed him.
Natsume's eyes narrowed.
What did he want with her?
XxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxX
"I'm giving you a mission." Persona said.
"You'll be saving Aoi Hyuuga. She's been missing for a quite a while, and we only found her today."
Mikan raised an eyebrow.
"Hyuuga? Is she Natsume's sister?"
Persona nodded.
"But we're not sending the brother on the mission because he'll probably do something reckless. Plus, you're better fit with your multiple Alices."
Mikan smirked.
"Where am I going to teleport to?"
"Warehouse #456742575. Right here," He pointed to a place on a map.
Mikan nodded, closed her eyes for a minute and she was gone.
Warehouse #456742575…
"Yeech, it smells like fish…" Mikan said quietly, wrinkling her nose.
There were many warehouses, and it took a little bit for Mikan to find the right one.
She wasn't surprised to find countless guards around it.
She's probably going to be sold as a slave soon, Mikan thought. That's what most people did with Alice-users. They starved then and made them weak so they couldn't put up a fight.
She activated her voice pheromone Alice.
"ASLEEP," She said loudly. Soon enough, the guards were knocked out unconscious.
"Way too easy," She said, smiling as she made her way into the warehouse.
"Onii-chan…" She head a small voice.
As she opened the door a little and let the light in, she saw a small girl about the age of 10 with black hair like Natsume's. She was dressed in a dirty white gown, and looked parched and hungry.
"Aoi-chan?" She called softly.
The girl looked up, scared half to death and her red eyes brimming with tears.
"Please!" She cried, hugging her knees.
"Don't hurt me! I'll do what you say!"
"Shh…" Mikan said, coming nearer to the girl.
"Don't worry, I'm here to bring you back to the academy. You're onii-chan's there, Aoi-chan," Mikan said softly.
Aoi looked at her and she clamed down.
"Do you want some water?"
Aoi nodded.
"I don't have a cup or anything, so put your hands together," Mikan said. Aoi did as she was told, and water formed in her hands.
Aoi looked amazed, and drank the water.
"Ready? We're going."
"Where?" A man's voice asked.
Mikan smirked.
A tall man came in view behind her.
"Back," Mikan said, and she hugged Aoi.
"Teleport," She whispered, and they were gone.
"Mikan Sakura…" The man said, and closed the door as she left the warehouse.
Back at the Academy…
"Mission complete," Mikan said.
"It was way too easy, Persona,"
Mikan held Aoi's hand.
"Well, then," Persona said,
"We don't have any rooms yet, so could you bring her to your room?" Narumi said, coming up from behind Persona.
Mikan nodded, as she and Aoi left the room.
"Are you tired?" Mikan asked the younger girl, as she nodded.
Mikan bend down.
"Here, get on," Aoi stared at her.
"Piggy-back ride."
Aoi climbed on as Mikan started walking again.
"Thank you, Onee-chan," Aoi said gratefully.
"It's fine. Let's give you a bath and some food, now, okay?"
She fished out some keys as they reached the dorm and opened her room.
"Here, why don't you take a bath first? I'll cook something while you do," Mikan suggested.
Aoi nodded.
"Hmm…I think I still have my elementary school clothes somewhere…" she said, rummaging through a drawer.
"Ah! Here you go!"
Mikan handed Aoi blue blouse and a darker blue skirt.
And took the clothes and ran to the bathroom.
Mikan smiled.
Now…how was she going to present this Natsume?
Just in time, Narumi came in.
"If Natsume finds out, it should be fine. He'll probably be relieved."
Mikan nodded, as Narumi smiled and left.
"Who was that, Onee-chan?" Aoi asked, coming out of the bath.
"Oh, that was the teacher. Now, what would you like to eat?"
XxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxX
"I think we should go to Mikan's room to find out. She hasn't come back. Classes are already over." Hotaru said.
"You're actually worried? Strange, coming from you Imai." Natsume said.
But despite that, Natsume and Ruka ended up going with her.
Hotaru knocked on her door, as Mikan said to come in.
The scene was different from what they had all expected.
A little girl sat in front of a table, wolfing down and draining food and water.
"Yo! Natsume, don't you recognize her?" Mikan said, as Aoi looked up.
"A…A-Aoi?!" Natsume managed.
"Onii-chan!" Aoi said, hugging her brother.
"Where were you?!" Natsume yelled.
"Geez, Natsume clam down. She was captured by the AAO." Mikan said, cleaning up.
"And Onee-chan saved me!"
"What?"
Everyone stared at her.
"Um…let's leave it at that." Mikan said nervously. Shit, they didn't know about her missions…
"AOI IS HERE?!" Another voice said.
Another 10-year-old boy with silver hair came running into Mikan's room.
"Youichi!" Aoi said, hugging him, too.
"Who's that?' Mikan asked Natsume.
"Youichi Hijiri. He's like a little brother and Aoi's 'boyfriend'." Natsume told her. Mikan chuckled. How cute.
If only…her own life was just as nice.
I posted two chapters in one day! The 6th chapter I had already written, I just didn't have time to post it up. Problems will be coming soon…Dun dun dunn! (Okay, that was kind lame)
This chapter might've been kinda boring, but Aoi and Youichi are going to be more important later one, so I'm introducing them now.
But…yeah. Reviews?
