Chapter 5
"Walk?!" Mikan bursted out when shouting and then flew up in the air and fall down (anime style of course). "You expect me to walk?"
"What do you want to do? Fly? C'mon let's get walking."
"But it's very long…"
…
"C'mon Mikan, get up, we're not even close to the halfway."
"But it's already 15 minutes since we started to walk. Don't you wanna rest for a minute?"
"If you're gonna be lazy, we will take more than 1 hour just to get to the academy!"
"But I'm very tired. I can't walk now. And my hand hurts too because of this stupid nullifying chain!"
"Do you think you're the only one whose hands hurt. Wait, did you just say nullifying chain?"
"Yeah. Why Natsume?"
"Because don't you remember, an alice cancels out the same alice."
"So?"
"Your alice is nullifying right?"
"Yeah."
"Then nullify this chain!"
"You're brilliant Natsume! I didn't even think that you will be useful in times like this."
"Just do it and shut up."
"Ok ok." Mikan holds the chain and "Nullify! Did it work?"
"No. Do it again."
"Nullify! What? It's not working."
"You stupid chain!"
"Don't insult it. If it hears you, it may not help us to get out."
"It's only a chain. It can't talk, hear, see or do anything people can do."
"Sorry. Then I'll just try again. Nullify! I guess my alice is not strong."
"No polka, it worked!"
"Really?"
"Yeah! Look!"
"Yey!" Mikan jumped. "Hurray!"
"Save your laughs Polka. Yeah we're untied but we're still miles away from the academy."
"Don't exaggerate Natsume."
"Kids, what are you doing here in this time in the night?" A voice of an old woman was heard.
"Who's there?" Mikan was very scared that he held Natsume's hand.
"Stop holding me." Natsume said.
"I'm right here."
"Wahhh!" Mikan shouted.
"Don't be scared. I'm just an old woman who lives in that cabin."
"I'm sorry." Mikan apologized.
"What do you want from us?" Natsume said without trust to the old woman.
"Don't worry. Are you students from alice academy?"
"Yeah. How did you know?" Mikan asked.
"It's because of our uniform idiot!"
"Oh yeah I'm sorry."
"Umm, would you like to sleep here in my cabin tonight? It's very cold out here and you're very far away from the academy. Then I can bring you to the academy tomorrow."
"Thanks." Mikan said.
"No thanks." Natsume said. "We can take care of ourselves."
"Watch your manners Natsume." Mikan said.
"You will trust that old woman this easily?" Natsume whispered.
"It's fine with me if you don't want to stay here." The old woman said.
"No, we're staying." Mikan said.
"We're not." Natsume said.
"We are!" Mikan said.
"I said we're going."
"We're staying here."
"We're not!"
End of Chapter
Who will win? Mikan or Natsume? Will they stay in the house or go on walking? What's the real identity of the old woman? Is she a friend or a foe? Watch out in the next episode. By the way, our classes starts tomorrow. Maybe, I can update it ever weekend. Let's see and please leave a review. Thanks.
