CONTINUATION…

Koko just stood there, feet frozen, eyes locked at the figure of a certain brunette who is swimming in her own blood. It is such a horrible sight. Koko doesn't know what to do, he was speechless. The figure moved slightly, snapping him back to his reverie.

"K-k-koko...H-help.." Mikan, desperately asking for help. She was so weak, so weak that she can die any moment soon. heck, she doesn't even have the energy to keep her eyes open!

Koko rushed to her. "Mikan! Oi, Mikan! Get a hold of yourself!" And without a second thought, he carried Mikan bridal style and rushed her to the Academy Hospital. There were many doctors and nurses who attended them and Mikan is quickly rushed inside the ICU room. Koko is waiting outside the room, impatiently walking back and forth. It is quite obvious that he is so worried about the tangerine. Mikan, what have you gotten yourself into? God, I'm so worried! She obviously lost a lot of blood, heck, even adults would be in danger if they were in Mikan's place. This just too dangerous, there's only a 10% chance of survival. What if she can't make it? Damn, damn, damn! Oh, right. I have to inform the others. Koko flipped his cellphone from his pocket and texted everyone: GUYS, THIS IS KOKOROYOME. SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO MIKAN, AND SHE IS NOW HERE IN THE ACADEMY HOSPITAL. IF YOU GOT TIME TO SPARE, PLEASE COME OVER HERE. I CAN'T STAND THE PRESSURE ALONE. SHE LOST LOTS OF BLOOD AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO SEE HER ALIVE IF YOU DON'T HURRY. COME HERE, NOW! He sent the same message to Natsume, Ruka, Hotaru, Sumire, Yuu, Kitsunime, Mochu, Anna, Nonoko, Youichi, Misaki-senpai, Tsubasa-senpai, and Narumi-sensei. Minutes after he sent the message to everyone, they arrived. All that Koko informed have arrived.

"Minna, you came!" Koko was so relieved. Its not easy to worry alone. Its as if his chest would explode. Doki..Doki..Doki..

"Koko, where's Mikan?" Narumi-sensei started. Truth be told, he is so damn worried about the chibi. He was like the second father to her and situations like this really freaks him out the most.

"There, inside the ICU. She has been inside for nearly an hour, and the doctors keep coming in and out bringing weird medical equipments. Hotaru's onii-san is already inside, and that should mean that the matter is under control, but what freaks me out is that he is sweating like hell and frustration is written all over his face!" Koko told them, panting heavily because of the long speech.

"What exactly happened Koko?" Natsume gave Koko a deadly glare, a glare that says explain-now-and-you-better-tell-the-truth look. Koko narrates to them what happened before and until he found the body of Mikan, with the exception of his own thoughts, of course.

They were all sitting at the bench right outside the ICU room. Everybody is silent. Some are looking at the ICU's door, waiting for doctors to come out. Some are comforting another, some are restless, some are persuading a certain ghost manipulator to keep calm and get hold of his ghosts, and a fire caster remembers the time he recieved Koko's message.

NATSUME'S POV

I was reading my manga when suddenly, my phone vibrated. "I wonder who could it be.." Natsume thought. He was surprised to see Koko's name, because he is one of few people who is afraid to text him. He opened the message, only to be shocked by its content.

"GUYS, THIS IS KOKOROYOME. SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO MIKAN, AND SHE IS NOW HERE IN THE ACADEMY HOSPITAL. IF YOU GOT TIME TO SPARE, PLEASE COME OVER HERE. I CAN'T STAND THE PRESSURE ALONE. SHE LOST LOTS OF BLOOD AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO SEE HER ALIVE IF YOU DON'T HURRY. COME HERE, NOW!"

I was shocked. But I thought this is just one of his pranks so I disregarded it. I saw Ruka rushing to me and he said, "Natsume! Have you received Koko's message? Everyone got them, so we are going to the hospital now!"

Without a second thought, he followed Ruka and all of them went at the same time. Everyone is quiet at the bus, even that gay teacher, but I know, they are worried about Mikan.

"Mikan, be safe..Please be safe.." Natsume muttered over and over.

END OF NATSUME'S POV

3 hours had passed, but it seemed like forever to those people who were waiting outside. The atmosphere have died down a bit, because so far, no doctors or nurses have went in the room after that one nurse went out. They were startled when the door opened. They all jerked up when Hotaru's onii-san got out of the ICU. They gathered themselves around him, asked questions, anticipating answers.

"Imai-san, how's Mikan?"

"Is she alright?"

"Can we now see her?"

But the doctor just kept silent. Now, the hearts of the gang started to thump. "Su-Subaru-san, what's wrong? Where's Mikan?" Narumi-sensei asked.

"Onii-chan, how's Mikan? Will she be fine? Can we now visit her?" Hotaru now joined the conversation. She can't contain her nervousness anymore.

"Go-gomen. Mikan is..." Subaru can't say it. Its so difficult to spill the bad news.

"Mikan is?" They all chorused.

"Sa-Sakura Mikan-san is pronounced de-dead at exactly 6:30 PM..Im sorry. Condolences.." There, he said the bomb. The bomb that he knew will blow each and every life of these kids surrounding him.
