Behind these eyes
Chapter 3: Youichi
Mikan woke up in her bed and did her normal routine. Get up, get dress, brush her hair, brush her teeth, have breakfast and start walking for the meeting spot. It has been a month now. She was already use to runing the 100 laps she had to do but so far that was all Persona wanted from her. Once she got to the meeting spot she found that she got there in time. As usual, Persona made them run 100 laps. After she was done she was surprised because Persona had her do 500 push-ups with everyone. She worked hard to finish with everyone else but sadly, she wasn't use to it so she didn't finish and Persona made her do all 500. Once she was done Persona made her go to class. She felt alittle disappointed in herself. Like she let someone down again.
She did what she was told but found it too early so she sat against the sakura she saw before. She closed her eyes and felt the wind brush against her face. It was so peaciful.
Why am I so useless? It's like I can never please Persona. I try and ty but it's useless. Wait. Why do I want to please him? I should hate him! After all that beating I got from him, I should! But..... I still want to please him. Have him tell me that I did a good job. I know it will never happen but I still want to hear it.
Mikan opened her eyes again but saw a small boy staring at her. He had silver hair and green/blue eyes. He showed no expression but just stared at her.
"What? Stop staring little boy. It's rude." Mikan told him but he still stared.
"What the hell do you want!? Do you want to die!?" Mikan yelled but he didn't move.
"You'll surely die if your with me." Mikan told him but broke by these next words, "After all I am crow. A sigh of death."
The boy then walked up in front of her but showed no emotion like before.
"Your in the Dangerous Abilities class too, right?" the boy asked. She nodded her head not even daring to try to speak.
"I'm Youichi." he said. Mikan lefted her head up at him.
"I'm Mikan." she said. The boy nodded and then walked off. She only stared at him but then remembered she had class. She got up and walked to her classroom. The class was now nice and no longer scared the poor man. They even started a fan club for her. The boy's joined because they all had crushes on her and the girls joined becuse they admired her.
The day was long and boring. It was always the same. Nothing different. But when she got to her room she desided to do her own training. She didn't want to disappoint Persona anymore or be held back. She trained untill she had to go to bed.
When she woke up she got ready to go to class. She headed to class only to find that she was earily. She didn't want to wait for everyone so she started her run. When they did come they found her stupid on runing for nothing but Persona thought other wise. He was amused by her actions.
When Mikan saw that everyone was finaly there she stopped waiting for Persona. Persona told the class to start there run but had Mikan do her push-ups. She didn't complain but did what she was told.
"Why are you working so hard? What are you tring to prove?" Persona asked.
"I'm not tring to prove anything, Persona. I just remember my name and try live it. Like I was told, I can only bring death. Well, if thats true, then why don't I get good at it?"
Persona was even more amused by her. The class then finished their laps and Mikan finished her push-ups.
"Start your push-ups then do your sit up's. After that do your alice training. I will train Karasu personally." Persona said. Mikan was surprised when he mention her and the class started to whisper but did what they were told.
"Do another 100 laps. After that do a thousand push-up's and then do a thousand sit-up's. You wont go to class today so be prepared to do a whole day of training." Persona told her.
Mikan didn't give a second thought by this. "Yes!"
She then started to do what she was told. She did it all sweating and tired but she pushed herself to go on. She wont stop untill her body gives out. Persona, on the other hand, watch her in amusement. When she finished everything he told her to do she fell to the floor sweating and breathing hevy.
"Very good Karasu." Persona told. Mikan felt her heart fluter when he prazed her. She wanted to hear those words again.
"Now. Do you know what your alice is?" he asked. Mikan nodded in her head.
"I have the Nullification and SCE alice." Mikan said.
"Yes. We're going to train your SCE alice. But frist you need to copy or steal an alice. In this case you to steal this one." Persona said. Mikan looked up at him confused.
"Steal? Why?" she asked.
"Karasu, you will copy only classmate's alice but steal the enemies. If the enemies alice is useless then erase it. Do you understand?" he asked. Mikan nodded.
"Understood." she told him. She then saw a small evil smile on Persona's face.
"Good. Now, steal this man's alice. He's an AAO spy. He has the Transformation alice." Persona when he pointed to an man on the floor. Mikan got up and bent over next to him and stole away his alice. After she did that she stood and looked at Persona.
"Now I want you to transform in lion." Persona told her. She nodded and concentrated on this new alice. It was different and it was her frist time on stealing someone's alice but she did trun into a lion or in her case a lioness.
"Good. I want you train by yourself and get use this new alice. I know it was your frist time stealing someone's alice but you'll get more use to it." Persona told her when he picked up the body and left.
Mikan changed back to her human form and walked to the sakura tree. She sat down by it and looked at her hand. It was the same hand that she stole the alice with. She felt bad for that man. He lost his alice and will never get it back again. Then small hands was placed on her hand. She looked up and saw Youichi.
"You did something awful with this hand didn't you?" he asked.
"Yeah...... I took someone's alice from them with this hand." she told him.
"Is that what your alice does? You take alices away?"
"Sorta. I have Nullification and SCE alice. SCE stands for Steal, Copy, and Erase." Mikan explaned. Youichi looked up at her and she noticed that he didn't let go of her hand yet.
"I have Evil Spirits alice." he told her and then he looked alittle sad.
"Others are afaired of me. They wont even come near me." he told her. Mikan felt his pain so she gave him a hug and that shocked him.
"Can I copy your alice Youichi-kun? Then we can be the same and you wont be alone anymore." she whispered. Youichi then hug her back and tighten his hands on her and gave a small nod. Then Mikan copied his alice.
She pulled out of the hug and set him on her lap.
"Now your not alone because I also have the Evil Spirits alice just like you." she told him and gave him a smile.
"Nee-chan." Youichi called.
"Yes?"
"Your more pretty when you smile." he said when he kissed her left cheek. Mikan's eyes widen because it was so sudden but then she smilled a big one.
"That shocked me!" she said when she started to laugh alittle. Youichi got up off her lap and started to walk away but murmured, "Thanks" as he left.
Mikan soon got up and walked to her room. She ate frist before she was to start her training. When she finished her meal she looked out the widow. She saw a black crow but it flew away. She desided to transform in a crow. She did but it took alot of concentration. She undid it and then an idea came into her mind. Can she just take parts from an animal? She thought it would be good if she try it out so she took alot of concentration. Then a pair of black wings appeared on her back. The wings of a crow.
After her training she went to sleep only to have another nightmare of her parents Mikan woke up she found that she was early. She took her time getting ready but she was still early. She desided to walk there anyway because she had nothing else to do. When she got it was indeed emty. So, she started to train on her own. She kept training, even when her classmates had already came and started there own. She did everything what Persona told her to do yesterday. When she finished she found that everybody was still doing there own training.
"Have you gotten better with the transformation alice?" Persona asked. Instead of telling him, she showed him what she could do. She made her black wings appear that she made last night without need of concentration.
"Very good, Karasu. And amusing if I might add." Persona said. "Now I want you to copy your classmates's alices and make sure you master them."
"Yes, Persona."
"Good. Now get to your class." he told her. Mikan nodded and walked away. But she didn't go to class right away. Instead she went the sakura tree and found Youichi sitting by it. She walked up to him and he looked at her.
"I have class to get to. Do you want to come with me?" she asked. He just nodded and she picked him up and carried him to her class.
She opened her classroom door and sat down with Youichi on her lap leaning on her chest. All the kids in class was silent untill 3 girls came in front of them with smiles on their faces. Their names was Anna Umenomiya, Nonoko Ogasawara, and Sumire Shouda. Anna had shoulder length pink wavy hair, blue eyes, and has the Cooking alice. Nonoko has blue long straight hair, blue eyes, and had the Chemistry alice. Sumire had green short perm hair, light green eyes, and had the Cat and Dog Predisposition even though she doesn't let anyone know that. Mikan only knew because she was a special star.
"He's so cute!!" they all yelled together.
Mikan started to pet his head when she started to talk, "His name is Youichi. We're in the Dangerous Abilities class together."
"Aww! What alice does he have!?" they continued to yell. That pissed Youichi off. How does Mikan know? Well he was sending his evil sprtes after them.
"He has the Evil Spritis Alice." she answered. She looked down at Youichi, who still pissed, and kissed his forehead and rub his head. He stopped his evil sprirts and leaned on her chest again. All of the boy's was now jealous of Youichi. Youichi didn't pay attention to them though. He had alittle blush on his cheeks and leaned closer on her chest.
When her class was over Mikan and Youichi desided to go for a walk. They stopped when they got to the sakura tree and sat down.
"Nee-chan, what was your family like?" Youichi asked.
"My parents and grandfather was were very nice people. My parents, though, died a year ago and my grandfather died a month ago." Mikan answered.
"You have no familly Nee-chan?" Youichi asked when he looked up at her.
"No, I do. Your my familly now Youichi." Mikan told him. Youichi blushed alittle and leaned his head back on her chest and gave out a smile.
"I'm gald to be your familly Nee-chan." Youichi whispered.
