Chapter 4: Everyone's Memories
Recap
"He should take care of her now, or else she will start breaking down sooner than we expected." said Persona. "You're right. If he doesn't she'll end up having a month left the most." said the voice. The owner of the voice appeared and it was Yuka Azumi. "I still haven't been able to master the alice, so she doesn't have that much time to live. It can either be that she has less time or more time because it hasn't been mastered yet." said Yuka. "I agree with that." said Persona. "I have to leave soon." said Yuka turning around. "Goodbye, I promise I will not tell her of this, mother." said Persona. Yuka gave a small smile and disappeared with the darkness.
Persona took Keiko to her room. Someone had spied on Persona's and Yuka's conversation with each other and it was none other than the Ice Queen, Hotaru Imai.
End of Recap
It has been a week since Yuka and Persona had that conversation and a week since Hotaru had wondered who Keiko Minami really is. Ever since that day, Hotaru had been spying on her. Of course, Keiko noticed, however, she felt like she should like Hotaru do as she please. Until one day, she had a mission and doesn't want Hotaru to know, for a reason she herself doesn't know, but she burned the fly. This makes Hotaru wonder even more. Why didn't Keiko burn the fly earlier and why did she always leave the academy at night. And then she remembers. That Keiko was a special star and in the Dangerous Ability Class.
But what bothers Hotaru is the DNA she received from a strand of her hair. Her DNA had the same DNA that Mikan does. "Why does that Minami girl have the same DNA as Mikan. And her similarities too."thought Hotaru. Hotaru isn't the only one with these thoughts; it was also everyone else.
Keiko was walking towards class and knew that everyone was looking at her until she gave them a glare. In fear, they all looked away. "Tch, idiots." said Keiko softly. She walked towards her seat and sat down in it. She felt Natsume's and Ruka's presence and pretended not to hear their fan girls. All of a sudden, their fan girls surrounded their desk and one of the fan girls "accidentally" pushed Keiko off of her seat and made her land on the ground outside the group of fan girls. There was suddenly an evil aura behind the fan girls, but they failed to notice. Natsume, obviously, noticed it right away and smirked wondering what Keiko would do next. When Keiko noticed that none of the fan girls paid any attention to her, she all levitated them one by one and when she got to the last person, she grabbed her arm and threw her to the other side of the room causing a dent to happen at the board and the girl's body was slumped on the ground unconscious. Everyone was shocked and decided it was best not to anger her even Natsume did too, but he thought it was amusing to make her mad and then he became sad because he used to like making Mikan mad before she had died.
"M-Minami-san, how were you able to levitate the fan girls?" asked Yuu. "What fan girls?" asked Keiko 'innocently' and deactivated her alice. "Those fan girls." said Yuu pointing behind Keiko. Keiko turned around and saw a pile of fan girls. "Wow, are you sure Mochu didn't do it? He has the levitation alice. I don't, I only have the fire alice." said Keiko and sat in her seat. Everyone, but Keiko and the unconscious fan girls, turned to Mochu. He started waving his arms in front of him and shook his head saying "No, it wasn't me." Natsume and Hotaru raised an eyebrow. Keiko smirked and started to chuckle silently. Then the door opened and in came a girl Natsume. All the fainted fan girls were conscious again and ran to the little girl. She was obviously scared and ran towards Natsume. "Onii-chan, they scare me." cried Aoi. "Onii-chan?!" yelled everyone, but Ruka, Keiko, Hotaru, and Natsume. "Hello, I am Aoi Hyuuga. Onii-chan's imouto." said Aoi bowing while sitting on Natsume's lap. Then the door opened again and the first thing you see is a 3 year old boy with raven hair and brown eyes. He scanned around the room and saw that fan girls were around him. He had a disgusted look on his face, but it was gone as soon as it came and was replaced with a calm look on his all of a sudden, he had a lightning bolt in his hands and started throwing them at the fan girls which scared the class. "Watch out! It's Zeus the 2nd!" yelled a student making the little boy cry. Keiko rolled her eyes and walked towards the little boy. "How many times do I have to tell you? If you're going to cry then cry when I'm not here." said Keiko kneeling to his height. "B-but I didn't see you for a long time. And I thought you were dead." said the little boy running to Keiko and the impact made them fall. Luckily she knew this was coming so all of a sudden a pillow and a teddy bear appeared. The pillow was underneath Keiko so she could land on it. The teddy bear had a red ribbon around its neck and on its forehead was a red alice stone.
"Aki, look it's Kuma-san(Bear-san)." said Keiko smiling softly. "Ehh?! Kuma-tan?!" said Aki and grabbed Kuma-san from her clutches and held onto him. All of a sudden, a small blanket appeared and Keiko wrapped it around Aki and carried him in her arms. When she stood up, the pillow disappeared. She sat back in her seat with Aki leaned against her holding Kuma-san with one arm while the other one was holding onto Keiko fearing that she would leave him again. He was fast asleep. Keiko smiled and it disappeared as soon as it came. Jinno came into the classroom and saw that there were two students that didn't belong to the class. He would yell at Aoi, but he was scared of Natsume. He would gladly yell at Keiko, but he saw that Aki was holding on to her and knew how scary she was and decided that he would have rather picked Natsume than her. He went on with class lecturing about the alice life when they graduate.
When the bell rang, Keiko stayed in the classroom and when everyone was gone, everyone, but herself and Aki, she said "Aniki, I know you're out there." and Persona appeared out of nowhere without his mask and in his usual clothing. "I see that you have Aki with you. I thought I lost him while taking him to Central Town." said Persona. Keiko turned around and realized why people didn't notice him because he wasn't wearing his mask and all those alice limiters. Keiko stood up with Aki in her arms and walked with Persona to his house. Persona tried tearing Aki away from Keiko, but it was no use. It was as if he was glued to her or something like that. They both gave up and decided to talk about some stuff. sorry but i don't want to give you all the details they talked about because it would sorta be spoiling the rest of the story so please forgive me if i leave out some info you wanted
"Keiko...Mom...Mikan's body and death." said Persona. "Yea...find a...her...gone forever." said Keiko. "Will...notice...all?" added Keiko. "No...will...surprised...for sure." said Persona. "Oh, how is Mommy?" asked Aki who just woke up. "Mommy is fine." said Keiko smiling at Aki. Aki smiled back at her and grabbed her face with his hand that wasn't holding on to Kuma-san. Keiko put her hand on top of Aki's hand.
It was time to go back to class and yet Aki doesn't want to leave Keiko so she has to take him to class with her and once again he fell asleep. As she was walking towards her class, everyone was staring at her again and looked away after she glared at them. When Keiko reached to her seat, she sighed and started stroking Aki's hair. She then held him close to her and bowed her head covering her face with her hair that seemed like a wall. if you read twilight and when Bella first meets Edward she did the same thing so just wanted to clear things up
Keiko started crying silently careful to not let anyone know about her tears and her words that she had just spoken before falling into the darkness. All of a sudden, during class, Keiko fell off her seat with Aki safe in her arms. Keiko was breathing heavily and was clutching her chest. Hotaru doesn't know why, but she ran to Keiko and touched her and pulled away quickly. "She doesn't have a fever or anything. I don't know why, but an image just suddenly came to me. It was the time when Mikan and I just met each other." said Hotaru recalling the times.
Flashbacks
There was a girl with brown hair playing in the sand box. There was another girl with raven hair sitting under the tree watching the brunette play in the sand box. All of a sudden, the girl stood up and walked to the raven haired girl. "Hi, I'm Mikan Sakura. What's your name?" asked Mikan. "Hotaru Imai." said Hotaru with no emotion at all. "Do you want to play with me?" asked Mikan brightly. Although, Hotaru doesn't know why, but she nodded her head and played with Mikan in the sand box until they had to go home.
End of Flashbacks.
Natsume tried touching her and pulled back eyes wide opened. "Natsume, did you see something?" asked Ruka. "Yes, I remember the time when she died." said Natsume recalling the tragic moment.
Flashbacks
"If you hurt her, make her cry, or anything else, I'll kill you." said Hotaru. "Okay, I promise I won't hurt her or make her cry." said Natsume.
"If you hurt her, make her cry, or anything else, I'll kill you." said Hotaru. "Okay, I promise I won't hurt her or make her cry." said Natsume.
"If you hurt her, make her cry, or anything else, I'll kill you." said Hotaru. "Okay, I promise I won't hurt her or make her cry." said Natsume.
"You taped it?" said Natsume "Of course, anything for Mikan." said Hotaru rolling her eyes. "Now time for your punishment." said Hotaru and launched her baka cannon one after another. Natsume didn't dodge it instead he just let himself get hurt.
After 10 minutes, Hotaru was satisfied until she received a text from Mikan. Sh read it and dropped her baka cannon. "You know that she wants to cry. It's not that she won't it's because she can't." said Hotaru.
She forwarded the text to Natsume, put her phone back in her pocket, got onto her duck scooter and went to the hospital Mikan was in, and went into the ER in which Mikan was held on.
Mikan was pale and her wrist was bandaged. "H-Hotaru -did you-get me message?" asked Mikan before coughing.
"I did. I forwarded it to Hyuuga." said Hotaru crying and sent a text to Natsume.
Mikan smiled. "If I-were-to die any moment now-can you-punish Natsume more-and can my body be buried in-a cave?" asked Mikan.
"Don't say that." said Hotaru. "Please, I want to see you smile before I leave." said Mikan holding Hotaru's cheek.
Hotaru put her hand on Mikan's hand and tried to smile, but it turned out to be crooked. Mikan giggled and then coughed again.
Her coughing stopped and her grip on Hotaru loosened and her hand fell. "MIKAN!" yelled Hotaru and the beeping of Mikan's heart beat was now a long beep meaning that she had died.
Natsume looked at his phone and saw two messages.
Hotaru, goodbye. Don't follow me.
I'm going to leave this world soon.
Send this to Natsume.
&
Hyuuga, hurry and get here!
He deleted his messages and received another message.
You're too late. Mikan just left us.
She left all because of you. I know I shouldn't have gave her to you.
And now she's DEAD.
Natsume dropped his phone when he saw that Mikan was dead. He ran to the ER room, but he saw Mikan, or her body, and it was pale and there were many tubes connected to her body.
He regretted hurting her and making her cry no.
As promised, her body was buried in a cave, but only few people were allowed to go in and they were Hotaru, the staff, Yuka Azumi, who heard of Mikan's death and came here secretly, Ruka, and Natsume."
End of Flashbacks
"Strange." said Ruka and touched Keiko and withdrew. He remembered the moment when Mikan rejected him because she had only thought of him as a brother.
Flashbacks
"Mikan, I love you!" said Ruka underneath the Sakura tree. They both didn't know that Natsume was on top of the branch listening to them. Mikan covered her face with her bangs as did Natsume. Natsume didn't want Mikan to say that she likes Ruka back and Mikan doesn't want to hurt Ruka's feelings. "Ruka, I'm sorry, but I don't love you. I can only think of you as a brother. Nothing more nothing less." said Mikan. There was a short silence. "Is it Natsume?" asked Ruka. Mikan looked at Ruka with her eyes wide opened and all she could do was nod. Natsume was shocked too and looked at what Mikan's answer was and saw that she nodded her head. He knew that he could have a chance with her. "Okay, I will give you up for Natsume. He needs you more than I do." said Ruka and walked away. After Ruka was gone, Mikan slumped onto the ground. "I'm sorry Ruka. I didn't want to hurt you. I already know that Natsume won't love me back." said Mikan and walked towards her room.
End of Flashbacks
One by one as each student touched Keiko they remembered something important. Yuu remembered that Keiko had to go to the hospital and it was at that moment that Natsume carried her with little Aki still in her arms towards the hospital as quick as he could.
Okay, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, but please review. I need some motivation.
