Chapter 15: Forced Slave
"Just take this." A women in a nurse outfit told Mikan as she handed over a weird looking pill. Mikan touch her banging head and looked down at the thing in her hand.
"What will it do?" Mikan asked sniffing it.
The nurse turned back around with a smile, "It'll scare away that blue line on your forehead and keep you cured for a bit."
Mikan glanced back down at her hand. She didn't have a choice. Quickly she plopped it into her mouth and swallowed it. "Ewww…". Mikan laid her arms down once again to survey the room, "Where am I?"
The nurse was now in a chair writing something down at fast speeds, "Still on campus, but a ways away from your classroom."
Mikan sighed relieved, "When can I go back? I bet my friends are worried."
"Hang on I have to check something." The nurse smirked and pressed a liquid button down in her hands. Mikan gasped as her body was shocked hard along with her muscles giving out.
"What was that?" Mikan asked painfully.
The nurse laughed and helped Mikan up, "It's a new device Persona wanted me to test on you. I guess it works fine. You may run along now."
Mikan took some steps forward acting casually, but once the door clicked behind her she took off like a rocket out the doors. "What the heck is Persona up too?". Mikan was so confused. Why was she all the way over here? What happened to everyone else? What would Natsume say?
"So how did it go?" Persona's voice asked out of nowhere.
Mikan eked and round kicked behind her. Persona caught her leg and threw her down. She carefully sat up rubbing her leg as Persona walked over to her, "that was kind of stupid."
Mikan growled and stood back up, "What do you want me to do now?"
Persona smirked and touched her hair, "Did the test go well?"
Mikan fearfully pulled back and once again stood up straight, "If you call getting lightening pulsed through your body a test, sure."
"Well good. You're our personal slave now." Persona laughed jumping away from Mikan.
Mikan tilted her head to the side and blinked, "Slave? Oh well! I got to get to school!!" Mikan turned back to the thin road leading back to school. Persona hid in the shadows hiding his laughter while he watched his new test subject race off.
"Natsume I have good news." Narumi said stepping into the classroom.
Natsume lifted his heavy head up and asked, "What?"
Narumi huffed a big breath and clapped his hands together, "One of the teachers found Mikan this morning. Far off on campus, I wonder why… anyway I'll allow you to see her in the research room."
Natsume stood up with an angry look,"Researching room?"
"They're testing her for any weird substances, since you know persona likes messing with human biology."
Natsume nodded excitedly as he followed Narumi out, "but is she ok?"
Narumi shook his head and tilted his head back, "I really don't know, she won't talk."
Natsume widened his eyes, surprised, "but she always talks…"
"Well this time she's silent and quiet, nothing like her." Narumi said opening a white door. Natsume stepped in and looked around. Two doctors were seated in front of a huge glass window. Narumi and Natsume walked up to the window and looked across.
Mikan sat there in a white hospital outfit with a chair. She wasn't wearing her hair ties, but they were on the floor along with a brush. Natsume blushed looking at her bare legs and cute face.
"Mikan, can you please tell us what happened?" one doctor asked over a loud speaker.
Mikan sat there and shook her head slightly. The doctor sighed and slammed his hands down. "Umm, excuse me. Could this boy go in, he might help." Narumi said placing his hands on Natsume's broad shoulders.
The female doctor nodded and pushed a button releasing the door. Natsume quickly stepped through it and into the room where Mikan was.
"Oi, little girl!" Natsume yelled.
Mikan jumped and turned her head, "Natsume?"
"Where did you go? What happened? Why won't you answer the questions?" Natsume asked walking over to her. Happiness and sadness filled his eyes once he reached her chair.
Mikan shook her head, but Natsume caught her head and looked down at her angry, "No you're going to answer me no matter what."
Mikan stared at him with tears building up in her eyes, "I'm sorry Natsume, I can't…You'll have to wait… for a bit…"
Natsume sighed and sat next to her. He whispered, "I missed you."
Mikan widened her eyes and bent her head down crying, "I'm sorry."
Natsume smiled and grabbed her up in a hug and they sat there the rest of the day whispering to each other, while the doctors got their information.
