Flashback
he saw everything.
Well… not everything.
He didn't catch the important detail. Who on earth is Mr.X
"
"
according to Natsume;
- Mr.X may be a lady. He only sees the far away figure, so it was not so sure.
- Mr.X is a blone, hair shade like ruka's
- Mr.X is an adult. body fame similar to Narumi-sensei.
and who excatly is Mr.X

"we should tell a teacher!" Anna said worriedly.
"do you think they will believe us?" koko asked
"Natsume is a eye-witness!" Nonoko backed Anna up.
"maybe just ask serene-sensei to help us find mikan" anna suggested
"have you forgotten about mikan's alice?" hotaru hissed.
"right."
And this kind of argument carried on for 2 hours...
"can you track her down with any of your inventions, hotaru?" yuu asked
"no use. I think she forgot the necklace I gave her and left it in the room."
"necklace?" the rest of the group asked
"disguised radar." Hotaru said emotionlessly.
"so you mean the necklace or other stuff you made us paid for is a transistor?"
"yeah, so bring it where ever you go. So it won't be so troublesome like mikan's case." Hotaru is real pissed, and everyone in the room can sense it.
Anna and Nonoko looked at the bracelets they bought from hotaru. Or hotaru forced them to pay. Yuu and koko had their rings as a pendant and hang it around their neck. Ruka covered the ring on his hand with another hand. And natsume simply stuffed his whole plam into his pocket; the ring that he could not take off.
Invisible smirk appeared on hotaru's emotionless face. And only natsume saw her mocking eyes.
Flashback
Hotaru stretch out her hand to natsume. "100 rabbits please"
"begging?" he smirk. How clueless can he get? A genius…, begging? My hotaru is SO going to make him REGRET what his cursed mouth just said.
Hotaru took out a laser gun. Nope, not pointing at natsume, she pointed it at her finger. O0
But we all know that she is not depressed or thought no meaning in life or stupid to actually hurt herself. She point at a ring she was holding on to. Within a spilt second, she engraved a few words inside the ring. And this damned author will not let you know what it is… wahahahahahaaa
Natsume was still clueless, he was just looking at hotaru's laser gun and thought 'This inventor can make anything'
He didn't realized that hotaru had done her job and slipped the ring onto his index finger. Natsume tried to take it out. But it did not seems to be as easy as hotaru slipping it in. knowing she won another 100 rabbits and the title of genius, she smirk.
Before she left, she added "keep pulling it off and your finger will drop"
Natsume paid her 100 rabbits in the end. But she did not take it out, she just told him " don't worried. If your finger grows, it will grow with it. So it will be exact size no matter what."
But it's not the point, he wanted it off his finger. Though there is absolutely no point bargaining with the ice queen. And he had no tiniest bit of idea what on earth she wrote…
End of flashback
Now that mikan had no transistor on her, the gang could do nothing about it. They are desperated.
Hotaru stayed in her lab with yuu and ruka helping her to see if they can build something to track mikan without her necklace. Maybe using her hair???
Koko, anna, nonoko and natsume went around the academy, looking for mikan. Hoping she will suddenly appear and greet them or whatever she always do. Even youichi is helping, on account of natsume.
Natsume is dead worried. Even blind people could see it. He didn't even talk to ruka after answering hotaru's questions.
The sun is now hiding behind red Infar-structures of the academy. Leaving our friends and their long shadows wandering aimlessly like ghost that can either go to hell or heaven.
But… what can our little heroes do???
In a unknown part of the academy, in an unknown period of time.
Mikan wakes up in a very dark room. She rubbed her eyes and saw a figure leaving the room. Yup, that is Mr.X.
She didn't see clearly, she rubbed her eyes some more and tried to see who is it, but Mr.X is already gone by then. She found herself in the coach and decided to look around the dark room. It seems very familiar, She came here before, quite a few times.
But considering her pea-size brain, she just can't remember…
She wandered around, looking at the room. There are some trophies; beauty contest championship; most interesting alice award; best player on stage; most genius script writer…. And there are pictures of a few children. The photos looked very torn, telling us it had at least been over ten years.
She stared at a certain picture until she heard the doorknob turned.

"Narumi-sensei!!!"
"ahh… mikan-chan! I see you are awake! Are you hungry?"
"yar, I'm starving!!"
"haha… as I expected. Here, take these sandwiches. you have been sleeping for the whole lunch period. So I figured out that you haven't eat your lunch."
"thanks… narumi-sensei, why am I in your room?"
"I heard you shouting in town. And when I got to you, you are already sleeping. And I can't just leave my student under the big hot sun for bed, right?"
"orh.. I see…"
"Mikan-chan"
"yes?"
"you were shouting something about the ring right?"
"yar… that stupid Natsume didn't want to help looking for the ring. In the mission you gave us. So I came to look for it myself"
"ahh… that ring! But didn't you and natsume already pass it to me?"
"we did?"
"yup, and congratulations! You guys were the second group. So I'll be giving extra bonus points for that!" Narumi didn't notice that mikan is clueless about the completed mission, I guess he is too stupid.
"really?"
"yup, and hurry up and eat. I have a meeting later. Just go to your home and rest later ok? Natsume seems to be in a very bad mood. I heard it is something to do with a girl, maybe another fan girl irrated him again. Just don't go and disturb him. Hotaru too. Hmm… I think yuu, koko, anna and nonoko also." Like I say, narumi is stupid, he is an idiot. And idiots tend to interpret wrongly.
"waaa!! What happen? So many people… and who can I go find to play with me now…?? " tears threatening to fall from her hazel eyes. "whatever, I'll just go back to my room and sleep!" Mikan declared, as narumi sweat-drop… didn't she just wake up?
And narumi escorted mikan to her room and said their goodbyes, as hotaru tried to track mikan with her necklace….
What coincidence.
a/n:
wahahahaha…. I'm ending here for now… so you know why hotaru and gang can't find mikan…even genius miscalculate wrongly sometimes… nothing much in this chapter.. onli same-old-stupid narumi kidnapping his own student.. sorry again.. for anything that you feel offended off…
Narumi: I'm not old! I'm only 29 this year! You must be kidding..
Canrolii: shut your pipe hole or I'll make your turn 60 in the next chapter.
Hotaru: you damned writer. I'm charging for letting you write my miscalculations…
Baka.baka.baka.
Canrolii: Mikan-chan… I understand how you feel now…
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Mikan: please review!!
