Ne! I'm so very sorry that I didn't update much! I've only updated my recent stories like JAPC and Blacklite Wings. SO SORRY! Anyway, here's the 16th chapter for MoA. I hope you'll like it.

Chapter 16: Pieces of Revenge

"RUKA!" Natsume shouted as he entered the room when he heard Mikan shouting his friend's name. He rushed in and saw Ruka lying down with his lifeless body on the floor, blood oozing out of it.

"Where's that stupid spirit which has Akane-chan's body?!" Mikan shouted and stood up. She changed her clothes in an instant because of the blood stains on her clothes. "WHERE ARE YOU?!"

The wind blew hard as the window to Natsume's dorm room was opened. Then a little small girl appeared standing on top of the window sill.

"Jeanna appears before you, hime-sama," Jeanna bowed and jumped into the bedroom.

"Hi-hime? Why would you of all creatures call me hime (princess)?!" Mikan shouted and rise from the floor.

"You? Heck! God no! I'll never call you hime!" Jeanna said which made everyone confused. "I'm talking to the spirit that lies within you. Our spirit lord, Maaka-hime.

"Ma-Maaka?!" Natsume said in shock and saw Mikan's eyes turned maroon. A huge gust of wind blew in from the open window carrying red sakura petals with it and circulates Mikan. Her hair flew about and turned into a bun and two pink floral hair sticks appeared and adjusts its place in the bun. Her clothes changed to a red halter top cotton turtleneck with black velvet knee length skirt and red ankle boots.

"Maaka Sakura appears," Maaka bowed and smirked. "Jeanna Toi; died at the age of 17 after the death of your boyfriend, Shizumasa. You realized that someone who committed suicide will never go to heaven so you also signed your contract to sell your soul to the devils. A pathetic wannabe," Maaka smiled triumphantly as she saw the hopeless figure in front of her.

"Wa-Wannabe? So this is how you treat your kouhais?" Jeanna shouted and jumped towards Maaka.

(A/N: Basically, kouhai means juniors. So in a way, Jeanna's calling herself an amateur.)

Maaka moved away in a slick second and saw Jeanna landed on Natsume's bookshelf. "I don't have kouhais, rather, I don't have anyone but Mikan-sama," Maaka said.

"You've been corrupted! This is not how a spirit's supposed to lead their life!" Jeanna shouted.

"Well I'm sorry to burst your bubble but if you haven't noticed, spirits don't have lives," Maaka snapped her fingers and her finger nails grew longer and sharper than one's knife. She stood up straight and aimed her fingers to Jeanna. "One wrong move and your life will be taken, oh wait, I didn't mean life, and I meant spirit."

"You take away my spirit, you're also taking away this body's spirit," Jeanna smirked.

"As far as I'm concerned, that Akane is dead already," With those hurtful words Youichi fell to the floor and stared at Maaka standing before him. For a split second Maaka's eyes turned to the olive colors of Mikan and winked at him then it changed back to the maroon color of the fighting goddess. Youichi smiled for a second and walked out from the room.

"Yo-Youichi…," Natsume called out and stared back at Maaka. "Tch…cruel woman!" Maaka just let out a huge sarcastic laugh.

"And what makes you think I care about what you think of me?" Maaka smirked and faced back Jeanna who's sweating staring at the sharp finger nails. "Now, will you explain to me clearly why you really sold your soul?"

Jeanna shivered and breathed heavily as she stared at the nails. "I…I…met with that blue-haired guy. Ta-Takashi-san said I could have eternal life while searching for Shizumasa. As a spirit, I can roam the world as I please searching for Shizumasa's soul. But he…he gave me 5 months just to search for him…-sobs-… I thought I knew every single place that Shizumasa might be at since I knew him all too well. But when I searched… I…I couldn't find him at all."

Jeanna broke into tears as she holds it in. "We…we made a deal. After I searched for Shizumasa, I can stay with him for as long as I like until I finish one task. To get rid of Mikan Sakura. I thought it was simple since as I roam to other countries I assume humans are far weaker than spirits since spirits contains extra inhumane ability for fighting."

"Then Takashi-san said that there's a vengeful spirit living within her, and it's you, Maaka-san. The rumored spirit who lived as an assassin in this world before you died," Jeanna's eyes somehow were glaring at Maaka. Maaka sighed and lowered her fingers and the nails returned to normal.

She then bent down towards Jeanna's face and smiled. "Wanna hear a little secret?" Jeanna's face was disrupted then suddenly the red petals danced around Maaka once more only it circulates Jeanna as well, within a second they disappeared.

The year 1978…

Maaka and Jeanna ended up dropping on to Jeanna's 7th floor apartment. Jeanna stood up and scanned her surroundings and her hands dropped bewildered. Her body suddenly glowed in a dim orange color and her body's curves grew bigger, her hair grew longer, her face looked mature, totally different from the Akane. She turned to herself at her age of 17.

"I…I know this place," Jeanna shuddered the thought as she arrived her apartment.

"You'll see something you've never seen before. As a spirit, you have the power to sense the people that are going to die," Maaka smirked.

"Wait, what do you mean? What year are we in?" Jeanna asked in panic.

"17th August 1978, the day Shizumasa Mimoru dies," Maaka smiled and disappeared without a trace. "Just use your senses. You weren't there where he died. Find him!" Maaka's voice echoed the apartment's hallway.

"Find him?" Jeanna asked. "What's the purpose of doing this?"

What in the world?! Why do I hear cries all of the sudden? Jeanna's head lift up and ran towards the lift balcony and looked outside. She saw a huge green light pillar where the cries originate.

"Shi…Shizumasa. That's his voice! Shizumasa!" Jeanna cried and ran towards that light pillar. As a spirit placed in another time, nothing blocks her way. She ran and ran and ran and finally stopped when she saw him sitting on a bench humming something.

"SHIZUMASA!" Jeanna appeared in front of Shizumasa and smiled. "You're…You're alive."

"Trina?" Shizumasa cried as he heard Jeanna's voice.

Trina? Who's that? Jeanna looked at Shizumasa. His blonde hair, his green emerald eyes, his usual black leather jacket and his usual earring that matches hers. Her soul mate…

"Trina? YOU'RE ALIVE!!!" Shizumasa shouted and raced to hug Jeanna. Just as he did so, her body was like a mist, no matter how many times you try to hold it in your hands, it always disappears. "What…what happened to you?"

"Shizumasa…," Jeanna's tears welled up. "WHO IS TRINA!? SHIZUMASA! WHO'S TRINA?!" She crouched down and tried her might to shake Shizumasa's body but her hands kept going through.

"Trina!" His hands continuously tried to reach hers but obviously failed multiple of times.

"Shizumasa, I'm not Trina! I'm not Trina!" Jeanna shouted and wailed and cried. She saw the green light pillar shining brighter than before.

"The more you do that, the more he wants to go to where you are. You're dead, and that's where he's heading," Maaka appeared before Shizumasa and Jeanna. "The brighter the pillar, the closer he is to the portal of death. The cause of his death is none other than you. He was thinking of no one but you. And since you appear before him as a spirit from the dead, he's aiming to be a spirit of the dead."

"I…I caused his death?" Jeanna asked in shock. "BUT WHO'S TRINA?!"

"Look into his eyes…then you'll know who is Trina…," Maaka said.

(A/N: Would you say its mean that I put Maaka to blame Jeanna for the death of her boyfriend? Give me your comment on this.)

"Shizu…masa…," Jeanna stared into his eyes. She saw flashbacks flowing into her mind like video clips of certain memories and incidents. There was a picture when she recognizes that she was a child found by a boy. She stayed with the boy. She held hands with the boy. She shared kisses with the boy. And the incident where all the clips stated that he calls the girl 'Trina'.

"Trina is you. You were an abandoned child found by this boy. Your true name is Jeanna Toi. He calls you Trina since he didn't know your name. You've lived with him since, and you got into an accident when he was at work after arguing with him the previous night. You were in a critical condition and he blamed himself and wanted to save you with his life," Maaka continued and caressed Shizumasa's face.

"Who are you?" Shizumasa asked since he could see Maaka.

"I'm a spirit that lies within god's favorite daughter," Maaka smiled. Then, Shizumasa suddenly grabbed Maaka's shoulders and shook it hard.

"THEN HELP ME! HELP ME SAVE TRINA!" He shouted.

"But I'm right here…," Jeanna said and wiped her tears flowing. She turned back into the body of Akane. She became shorter and made a huge shock impact to Shizumasa.

"Trina…," Shizumasa continued to try and grab her.

"You are dying, fool," Maaka cupped Shizumasa's chin. "A worthless piece of junk that can't even take care of your own fiancé. That's what you are, worthless and foolish." By cupping his chin, she lifts him up and slammed him to the corner edge of the cliff. "Men are stupid if they can't protect the things they love."

"HIME-SAMA! STOP IT!" Jeanna with Akane's body ran to Maaka trying to block her from going any where near Shizumasa, but she was too petite to do anything.

"Useless, worthless, meaningless, lifeless," Maaka said those four things over and over again.

Shizumasa grew veins on his forehead and got up and ran towards Maaka intend to slap her face but she caught his wrists. "Useless! You're too weak!" Then she threw him back to the ground. Jeanna started crying loudly as she saw Shizumasa had blood stains on the corners of his sleeves.

Her cries grew louder. "Worthless! You can't even protect the one you love!" Maaka shouted. Shizumasa saw Jeanna crying and wailing over and over and went to her to try and grab her.

"TRINA! Hang on!" He tried as much as he could to touch her.

"Meaningless, you can never touch her…unless you die," Maaka smirked. Shizumasa stared at Maaka for a long time and he stood up.

"Fine, I'll trade my soul with hers," Shizumasa stood his guard and made a serious looking face, Maaka stood there and laughed her heart out.

"TRADE SOULS?! DID YOU READ THAT IN A FAKE BIBLE OR SOMETHING?! The soul is yours and yours alone to keep. A body can be shared with no matter how many souls it's given. Once you leave that body, the both of you and Trina will be lifeless; do you wish to have that? If your soul stays within this world, you will remember each other, but once your life sets foot on heaven, you forget all your worries and pains and just become a selfish piece of shit that you are now. You won't remember anyone alive! Heaven will be the only place you've ever lived."

"The four words I chanted fit you well!" Maaka laughed. From the edge of the cliff towards the sea, a huge sea breeze blew to their directions along with pink sakura petals and made a huge and fast hurricane around Maaka.

"If you change your mind about dying, I'll give you another chance of happiness with Trina…that is 'if'," Mikan smiled sweetly and knelled down to see Shizumasa's face and cupped it with her cheeks.

"Just…who…are you?" Shizumasa blushed.

"Don't fall in love with me just yet. Trina's life is at stake. Once you die, she dies as well; I'm a spirit from the future. She came to my time and took over a friend of mine's body and intended to kill me!" Mikan made fake tears come out from her eyes and wiped them.

"I…I died?" Shizumasa asked in shock.

"EYH?!" Jeanna and Mikan cried out. "Didn't you come out her to the Cliffside to commit suicide?" Mikan asked and raised an eyebrow.

"No…not really, I came here to retrieve the daffodils that was suppose to bloom today to give it to Trina later today as a present since the doctor said she'll be discharge at 5," Shizumasa answered clueless to the point of making Mikan worry about what happened.

"Shi…Shizumasa! What's your family name?!" Mikan asked in panic.

"Wha? Why?" Shizumasa raised his eyebrow.

"JUST ANSWER ME!" Mikan shouted.

"Al-alright! It's Mimoru!" Shizumasa answered, scared of the consequences that might've happened.

Mikan's eyes went blank. "Takashi… you're his relative…," Mikan gasped and looked over around her. I'm dead. I'm in his territory now. This must be his past. He's been waiting for me since this time…

"How did you know my father's name?" Shizumasa stood up and asked.

"I see…," Mikan said then she suddenly jumped up as without a signal and in a split second a huge sword swiftly cut a bench that was just a few centimeters to where Mikan was standing. "Missed me! Missed me! Now you gotta kiss me!" Mikan's body swiftly landed back to the ground. "Take me back to my time, Takashi-san."

The sight of the wind gracefully blowing the man's long and smooth blue hair occurred to her how long he had planned for this revenge against Maaka. "Sakura Mikan. Spirit keeper of the well-known assassin, Maaka." Takashi announced and threw frozen knives towards her. Mikan made a huge barrier around her and dissolved all the knives.

"At your service," Mikan playfully bowed. She stood up straight and a bench approached her from behind and she sat down. "Now release me from this stupid dream of yours and let me out!"

"You were the one who transported yourself to this inhumane place. It wasn't my fault, you fell into the trap so easily," Takashi laughed.

"The 'future you' told you about me, didn't he?" Mikan smirked. While they were having their conversation, Jeanna was still trying her best to get rid of Shizumasa from their sight.

"Jeanna!" Takashi shouted out loud. "You should know about me right? Didn't you leave your soul in my hands? I order you to give a big scratch mark on that girl's face," Takashi smiled.

Jeanna stood up unknowingly and before her eyes appeared tons of shurikens. Her hands without notice picked up 4 shurikens between her fingers.

"Asking someone to do your dirty work proves that you're a lame ass," Mikan transformed into Maaka without any huge a happy-go-lucky introductions of petals. "Jeanna's just following your orders since she's a spirit, and you're the spirit master to her. Just like I am to Mikan-sama."

"Isn't that word disgusting to you when we met a couple of days ago?" Takashi smirked.

"Oh, you mean the day when I killed your wife who was supposed to be one of the spies who hired me?" Maaka laughed and faced Takashi back. "So basically, you have Alice's to just use for revenge against your wife? She must be a very sad person. To have a husband who think of such bad thoughts." Maaka raised her hand over her head and held out her middle finger. As the sun light shone on her middle finger nail, small and sharp crystals appeared in the sky, hundreds and thousands of it.

"Fuck off," Maaka smiled and pulled her hand down to her side and the exact moment she moved her hand, the crystals flew down as well. All of it aiming to hit Takashi.

"DAD!!!!!!" Shizumasa shouted which made Jeanna realized the shurikens in her hands. She instantly threw all the shurikens before her to prevent any of those crystals to hit Takashi. The four shurikens cut and re-aimed those crystals to the opposite direction and disappeared when Maaka raised her hands again.

Maaka pointed her finger towards Shizumasa and smirked. "Weakness. You are now known as a spirit's weakness, it seems Jeanna loses her mind if she has to deal with something that involves you!"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU!! You…you mother-killer!" Shizumasa shouted aloud.

"I am not a mother-killer whatever that even means," Maaka said and stood up straight and righteously. "Your father's secretary paid me a higher deal to kill your mother. Money is beautiful isn't it?" Maaka grinned. "Your father used his Ice Alice to prevent me from killing your mother but to no avail when your mother made the wrong move of running away. If she stayed behind your father's barrier, she would've been safe. But instead she drew out attention when she ran off outside to the balcony where it's a dead end. I only shoved your father away and killed your mother. According to the job given to me."

"My secretary paid you? Yeah right! I don't believe that! How could my secretary have any business with you in the first place?" Takashi shouted creating more frozen stakes.

"It'd made more sense if your secretary was the one I was aimed to kill," Maaka said. "But instead she made a higher deal for me to kill one of the people who ordered me to kill her. She chose your wife to die! In this era, she should still be alive, shouldn't she? Why kill me when the mastermind itself lives in your town?" Maaka said.

"Tr-True…" Takashi said but just then he grinned. "But taking your life sounds fun too, especially after the 'future me' showed me all I could do with these powers."

"You've got what you want, Takashi-san! Please don't do more killing! It won't ever satisfy you!" Jeanna shouted and ran to block any offense against Maaka.

"You're just my slave Toi! Move aside! This is not your fight so I order you to disappear!" Takashi said and suddenly Jeanna's body starts to fade.

"What's going on?" Jeanna and Shizumasa shouted. Within a second, a wind blew and Mikan appeared once more. She ran fast towards Jeanna and starts to smile.

"Her spirit is dying so she's leaving the body behind!" Mikan said.

She placed her hand on Jeanna's forehead and chanted. "Kazeai!" Mikan shouted and a huge orange light burst out from her palms to Jeanna's body. Jeanna's body suddenly fell to the ground flatly and Mikan went back to Maaka to regain her victory in the fight to come.

"We shall not fight here, Takashi. I shall see you in the future!" Maaka said and carried Jeanna's body (or rather Akane's body) with her. Red petals danced and circled around her once more and she smirked and they vanish into thin air.

Back to the future…

Maaka appeared from the wind along with Akane's body on her shoulder. She placed Akane's body down and made some kind of ritual to get back Akane's spirit to come out. "I'm talking to the spirit within you! RISE!"

"Akane-chan?" Youichi went to see Akane's features. She looked pale and tired. The other spirit used too much of Akane's physical energy. Just a second later, Akane's eyes slowly flicked open and gave a small warm smile.

"You-chan," She said and Youichi grinned like a happy kid. Maaka left those two lovebirds and stepped out from Natsume's room. She returned to Mikan and made a Light Barrier around the room so no one can go in and no one can go out. Natsume got Ruka to see Hotaru's older brother Subaru Imai to heal up Ruka.

"Guys, stay safe. This room is secured. Please don't go out!" Mikan smiled and ran forth towards the Hospital. "Transport!" Mikan shouted and she appeared into the exact room Ruka was staying in. "Was Ruka shot by the Spiritual Bullet?!" Mikan panicked when she saw Ruka lying helplessly on the bed.

"Subaru wasn't able to attend Ruka at all, there were too many kids who got hurt and caught the fire," Natsume said. "I'm glad you got back." Mikan nodded.

She placed her palm on Ruka's forehead and his body turned green. Natsume saw from the head, human colors returned slowly from head to toe. "I scanned his body, no bullets. He only got attacked by those shurikens and some people made him have internal inflammations in his organs. I have to work on him fast!" Mikan informed Natsume which he clearly understands that he has to go out.

Mikan started to control water in her palms and mixed it with herbs that appeared on air out of nowhere. With the water mix, she pushed in the water into Ruka's mouth and led the water throughout his body.

She first washed away the internal bleeding in Ruka's body and got the water back out through the cuts. The water Mikan controlled now is filled with black clotted blood and a few sharp metal objects. She threw the water away into a basin. She got out an incantation and spells book. She placed her hand over Ruka's vital cut just over his heart and chanted, "Healing Sun!" Mikan shouted and again, her palms glowed orange and some heat risen the temperature of Ruka's body. "I'm calling out the spirit within you! RISE!" Mikan shouted and Ruka's body jumped from its spot in a jerk.

From the palm of her hand, she could sense that Ruka's heart starts to beat again. "Your name shall be Ruka Nogi, your soul shall be painted with the Pheromone Alice, and your body shall be protected by my light!" Mikan said and her light faded slowly. Mikan saw Ruka breathe normally again. Natsume saw the shade of her light fade from the outside door so he went in.

"Is he OK?" Natsume asked.

"He's fine, you just have to adjust him with his memory," Mikan said. "I have things that should be done by tomorrow! Tomorrow, all this crap will be over!"

"How are Akane and the spirit within her Jeanna?" Natsume asked.

"Akane's fine in your room. I placed a barrier around her and Youichi. As for Jeanna, I separated her spirit from Akane's body so I don't know what really happen to Jeanna as of now," Mikan said.

"That's alright, at least those two are alright now," Natsume said then he faced Mikan seriously. "I'll repeat what I meant in the forest and in the past, I will fight alongside you until this Alice War is over! I won't give up!"

Mikan grinned and they both walked out to the balcony of the hospital room and they jumped down.

OK! So how was my 16th chapter…confused? Ask me if you don't understand what I just wrote.
