Chapter 6

Goodbye…

The next day…

"Ok folks, here we are going to battle for the last day. After this, only one of you will surely stand up. So be ready." The king said.

Natsume's POV

"Where is Mikan? Darn it! She's late." I muttered under my breath.

I waited for 10 minutes but she's not showing up. I got impatient and I stormed back at the castle.

"Oh I better go inside that castle again." I muttered grumpily.

When I reached the spacious hallway with not a single person around, I got the feeling of creepiness inside me. As if I something bad will happen today. When I had reached out small room, I found Mikan still lying on the bed.

"Mikan, there you are. Come on the fight's starting." I said whispering in her ear. I blushed at the fact that we're so close to each other. I examined her features and she has a very beautiful face. An ever-so-familiar voice woke me up from my daydreaming.

"I'm sorry but I can't. I can't move my body. It's like I'm stuck in this bed." She said.

I immediately jumped off away from her because I never thought she was awake. My heart was pounding and I felt like it was going to jumped out of my ribcage. It stopped pounding when she spoke.

"Are you alright? You're red? Something the matter?" she asked with her kind, gentle and loving voice.

I'm a-alright. How about you, why can't you move?" I asked, panicking at her state.

"I don't know but I can't move." She said while struggling on her bed.

The scene was like she was being wrestled by an invisible enemy and trying to do something maniac to her, while she in return, tried her very best to escape from him. Then, all of the sudden, a strong whirlwind appear in our small bedroom and a figure stepped on our ever-so-creaky floor. I looked closely to see who it was. She has a long ebony hair with purple streaks hanging down to her waist. She is wearing a black knee-length gown with frills on the top and on the hem of her skirt. She is wearing a yellow amethyst necklace and it shines so bright when the sunlight hit it directly. I remember when Mikan told me something about the sorceress.

-Flashback-

"Hey tell me more about the sorceress. What does she look like?" I asked with sparkling eyes.

"Hmm…well, I can say she likes fashion." She replied while putting her index finger on her chin.

I raised an eyebrow. "What kind of element of evil is that? I don't remember reading a story with the elements of evil having a sense of fashion. This is totally odd." I thought while having a brain-racking time with my mind.

"Well, I can say that because when I first met her at the Sapphire Kingdom, she was wearing a red chiffon dress with a red rose at the edge of her skirt. Her hair was in a bun. Then, when I saw her in this castle, she was wearing a mid-thigh purple skirt with a pink long sleeve shirt. And her hair was in pony tails." She explained with glittering eyes.

"It seems like she loved those dresses that the wretched witch was wearing." I sweat dropped at the thought of that. "Well, she is a fashionable witch." I replied while staring at the wooden ceiling.

"But one thing is for sure that she is the witch. When you saw a pair of dark blue eyes, it's definitely her." She added with a serious look on her face.

"I wish she wasn't wearing any contact lenses." I blurted out while putting my palm on my mouth.

She suddenly fall anime-style.

-End of flashback-

I remember that advice and when I look in her eyes, I saw a pair of blazing dark blue eyes…I'm not mistaken…definitely…I'm really sure…No doubt about it…It's the Sorceress of the Forbidden Mountain!

"Hi, I'm here." She said with big eyes.

"Darn you! What are you up to? Does the king knew about this thing?" I asked angrily.

"Well, of course the king knew this thing. Even if he's not around, he knows everything that happens. Oh yeah, I've come here to take the sacrificed girl in my palace. And here she is. Your name is Mikan Sakura. You're pretty. But your prettiness won't live long. Coz I'm gonna make you suffer in my palace. Hahahaha!!! Hahahaha!!! Hahahaha!!!" she laughed hysterically and her laugh was an ear piercing one.

"Darn you! If you take her, you're a dead witch!" he shouted and stand before Mikan, protectively.

"Oh, is this your little prince? What a funny situation!!! The prince is trying to save his princess from the hands of the meanest, cruelest, merciless and worst sorceress in the face of the planet!!! That was very funny of you little prince. If you insist on saving her, I might as well take you to my-" she was cut off by a voice.

Mikan's POV

"Stop it Sumire! If you move a muscle, you're a dead witch!!! This has nothing to do with him!!! Now, leave him alone!!! Are you forgetting something?" I asked her with my glaring eyes.

"Shoot! I'll reveal my big secret in front of her! Damn it! It could make the situation worst. But there's no other choice." I thought while panicking.

"I also have powers so we're even!" I interrupted her boring speech.

"Oh, you're so brave my dear. But wrong move, you shouldn't have told me. Now, that's interesting. Oh, my time's up I must get you back at my castle now." She said while smirking.

"S-shoot! Damn that wretched witch." I thought while cursing her in the process.

Then she turned to Natsume.

"Oh and if you want to save her, you have to go now for my castle is a long, long, way to go. Anyway, what you were doing now is just chasing rainbows for me. You can never go into my castle." She said proudly.

I was hopeless. I'm weak…I can't do anything. If I refuse, she'll take Natsume. But it was my fate after all.

"No, not true, I'm gonna save Mikan!" he replied, shouting desperately.

I was energized by that line. My flame of hope appeared once again. I was dumbfounded of what he had said but I immediately turn back to my senses when I had absorbed what he meant.

"No, just continue the tournament! Just continue fighting. I don't wanna put you in harm." I cried, anxiously.

"Haven't I told you that I'll do anything just to save you?" He asked his bangs are covering his ruby eyes now.

"I know but you must understand. It's real now." I tried making it clear. However, it wasn't enough.

"Didn't I told you before that I'll make impossible be possible if my friends are in danger? I hope you haven't forgotten that. If it is to be, then it's up to me. I'll save you. Even if that means sending my soul to heaven!!!" He cried so desperate that my heart and mind was convinced instantly.

"Oh Natsume…" I said while tears started to form in my eyes.

"Alright then my prince, I'll spare her life. But you must find my castle in a week. Now go!!!" she said abruptly.

"Thank you. So that's true that you had a good side then." He said while smiling.

"Don't get me wrong. It's just that you two make a good couple. That's it, enough talking, let's get back to work. I'll be waiting." She replied sarcastically.

My jaw dropped open. I can't believe she told me that!!! Ugh. She's a very naughty witch!!!

"Natsume, I'll wait for you." I said while smiling.

"Mikan, don't worry, I'll be there. Just wait ok?" he asked while caressing my face.

"Yes, I'll wait for you." I said while I crying.

"Well, then, for now, I shall say good luck and please have a strong heart." He said kissing my forehead.

I blushed at his gesture and immediately turned away. He too turned away.

"Right, I will. Bye for now!" I said cheerfully.

"Goodbye too and take care." He replied.

Then, Natsume, set off another journey to the Forbidden Mountain…He did not continue the tournament.

Author's Notes: So how was it? I know I had some grammatical errors. One of my friend had read this and she said that I should make some POV's of the characters...well...i read some stories and i finally figure out how to. I know some POV's sucks but I'm not really that good in writing stories. I just elaborates them by using some deeper english words...well reviews ok?
