Chapter 11: We're free
Mikan sat there on the chair, alone in the darkness. Their was nothing she could do. Nothing at all. Was she going to be the principle's slave forever? What about Youichi and everyone? What about Natsume?
The door opened and Mikan looked up to find, not the principle but Persona!
"Mikan" he called. This surprised Mikan because he never called her name before. Only Karasu.
"I'm sorry." he whispered. Okay! Is Mikan dreaming!?
"For what, Persona?" she asked. Her voice sounded hourse.
"It's my fault. I told the principle about you recovering your memory. I told him because I didn't want you to leave. To leave me alone like sensei did."
"Sensei?"
"Sensei told me he would come back for me when he left. I waited and waited but he never came. I thought I was forgotten. But when we got you, I found out that he died. That's why he never came. At frist I didn't know you were sensei's kid but when I found out I wanted you to stay. I didn't want you to leave like sensei. I was selfish and i'm sorry." Persona said. At his last words he bent down and laid his head on Mikan's lap.
So sensei was my father. "It's ok, Persona. I understand." Mikan whispered.
They sat there in silence untill Mikan spoke, "Persona do you want to leave this place with me?"
Persona's eyes grew wide and he stared at her.
"I'm not going to leave you behind. Do you want to leave with me?" she asked as she let out a smile.
Persona couldn't say anything so he nodded his head.
*With the others*
"Mikan should be in that room." Hotaru pointed to the door around the corner as she looked at her radar.
"How do you know?" Natsume asked.
"I placed a chip on Mikan at the party. It tells me where she is by my radar." Hotaru explained.
They opened the door and found Mikan with Persona. They were standing by a chair with ropes.
"Mikan!" Ruka called out but was stopped by Hotaru.
"Persona! Get away from Mikan!" Natsume hissed.
"It's ok, Natsume! He's with me." Mikan said when held Persona's hand.
"Mikan?"
"He's going to be my big brother Rei Sakura." Mikan stated as she looked up at with a smile. Surprisely he smiled back and picked her up.
"We're leaving this place. I can't stay here any longer and i'm not leaving anyone behind. We all heading to Youichi's then we're leaving." she said.
"How touching." said a cold voice from behind Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume. They truned around and saw the principle. Once they saw him they backed away to Mikan and Persona.
"Persona! What the hell are you doing!? Get over here!!" he yelled but Per-Rei didn't move.
"Persona!! Who was there for you when he left!!?" he yelled.
"My name's Rei and you should tell everyone the truth about what you did to sensei." Rei said holding Mikan tighter.
"What are you-"
"You killed him!! Once you found their where abouts you killed sensei and his wife, Yuka-san. It was only a year later that you found out that they had daughter." Rei said glaring at the principle.
"Rei....." Mikan whispered staring at him.
"Hahahahaha!! So you found out, huh? Well, it's too late!" he yelled when he pulled out a gun and shot it stright for Mikan.
"No!!" everyone yelled.
Everything went so fast. Mikan didn't know what happen. She sat there covered in blood. She looked down and saw Rei on her lap covered in more blood then herself.
"Rei onii-san" she called.
"Mikan.......I love you." he whispered before his eye lids fell. He was dead. He took the blow.
Mikan screamed. She screamed so loud it hurt everyone's ears. A light shot out of Mikan and it spread over everything.
*Mikan's POV*
Rei onii-san! He's dead! My parents are dead! Grandpa's dead!! All of my family is dead!! I wish I never had these alices! If I didn't then no one would have suffered. If only no one had an alice!!
*Normal*
Mikan opened her eyes to see a white ceiling. She sat up and looked around. Next to her was Youichi asleep. On the chairs was Hotaru and Ruka asleep with their heads on one another, holding hands. She looked at her hand and saw that Natsume was holding it while he sleept.
A doctor walked in and saw Mikan awake. It was Hotaru's older brother, Subaru.
"So your awake." he said emotionless.
"How long has I been asleep?" she asked.
"About a week."
"What happened?"
"Well.........you earsed every alice in the world. It caused a big riot. No one could use their alice. Not even me."
Mikan's eyes went wide.
"I erased every alice?"
"Yes. I guess it's better this way. Kids who had alices can return home, the school will be truned into a normal bording school, and future kids who would have had an alice wont go threw this pain that we had.
"What about Rei! And the principle?" she asked.
"The elemtary principle died do to you earsing his alice. His alice was the copy and he was just a copy. So, he's gone."
"What about Rei?"
Mikan saw pain in Subaru's eyes. Even though he did not say a word, she knew. He died.
Mikan looked at her hands. She saw her own tears fall and hit them. That woke Youichi up.
"Onee-chan!" he yelled hugging her. Everyone was then awake. They called her but Mikan didn't say anything. She hugged Youichi back and cried on his shoulder. She remembered her days with Rei. She had known him since she was 9. For 6 years. There was sad and painful moments but she was okay and even liked him when he was Persona. She saw him as an older brother. He was mean and hurt her but she thought of it his way of showing that he cares. He wanted to make sure she would be okay when a mission came. And she always was because he taught her everything she needed.
The meomories of him was painful and hard. Her tears wouldn't stop. She cried for him and the only thing she wished was that he was now happy and free. Because they were free now. Free from the training, the missions, and the school. They were far away but that didn't change the fact that they were now free.
