Chapter 29: Attack
"So you know what's going on." Persona said angrily staring at Natsume sitting in his school seat, "What do you plan to do?"
XxXxXxXxXxXxXNatsume avoided Persona's piercing eyes as he leaned back in his chair, "What do you think I'll do?"
A deep growl exited Persona's throat, "Using that disrespectful talk again. Are you asking for your death sentence?"
Natsume sighed and stood up in a flash sending the chair onto the floor. Slowly Natsume strode up to Persona and looked up into those eyes that once controlled him, "I'll kill you before you can harm me or Mikan."
Persona paused for a second staring into Natsume's serious eyes. Then with a quick huff Persona chuckled and grabbed Natsume's shoulder, "Being all serious even though it already happened once. And it will happen again."
Natsume kept his gaze as he did before waiting for Persona to finish. Persona stopped laughing and lowered himself so he could whisper in his ear, "Tonight that girl will likely lose her life to a alice user much stronger than you and Mikan."
Natsume's eyes widened with surprise as Persona lifted away and smirking at him. Quickly and silently Persona jumped out the already opened window and down into the woods. Natsume just stood there unable to breathe or think clearly. "What?…what did he just say?…" a sudden squeak made Natsume jump and turn around angrily.
"Ah, I'm sorry Natsume for surprising you…" Ruka apologized rubbing the back of his head while holding Mr. Bunny.
Natsume sighed and relaxed, sitting on his desk. Carefully he rested one hand in his hair making his bangs cover his face. Ruka watched as Natsume tensed up gripping the desk.
"Is there something that I could help with?" Ruka asked walking over to his best friend and sitting down next to him.
"No." Natsume answered releasing his hair from his grasp.
Ruka sighed and lowly whispered, "Does it involve Persona?"
Natsume looked down and back up at Ruka, "Yea."
Ruka nodded knowing what was happening, Mikan was in danger and there was nothing they could do but wait. Softly Ruka patted Natsume's shoulder and nodded once more before Natsume sprung up and escaped out of the classroom doors. With a sigh Ruka stood up and walked over to one of the windows and watched as Natsume ran in a flash towards the gates with his mask on. "Be careful Natsume…"

"God they haven't moved one bit!" Mikan moaned as she flung back from the look out window and onto the floor, "When will that guy arrive? He sure is taking his sweet time."
"Hey!" a voice below in the other house yelled making Mikan shift back up into the window so she could see. Outwards of the house was a man in a suit holding a box and walked towards a jeep across from him. Carefully Mikan reached into her backpack and laughed as she pulled out a razor sharp boomerang.
"This will trip him up." Mikan whispered with a chuckle as she threw it out of the window. Quickly it zoomed past the man making him turn in fright as it came back smashing the box and knocking it out of his hands.
"Hey what's going on!" anther man asked furiously rushing out from the house and running up to the other man on the ground in shock.
"There's some one here…" the one on the ground said sitting up looking at the box shattered all on the ground, "Tell Master right away."
"Yes." Said the other man before rushing into the house once more along with the one Mikan just attacked.
Mikan ducked from the window and sighed as she pulled out her mask and placed it over her face, "Time to go to work." Quickly Mikan put on her backpack and leaped out of the window and falling through some tree's below her. Carefully Mikan ran towards the house while she pulled out her weapons. Before she knew it guards came running out of her enemy's house with guns and other weapons. With a smile Mikan pulled out some smoke bombs and threw them onto the ground as she bounced into the air flipping over people's heads.
Silently Mikan landed on top of the house and pulled out her gloves. With one heave, a part of the roof was gone leaving her an entrance to the room. Mikan skillfully jumped down but a sudden jolt made her look down. Before she could react, Mikan was caught in many wires, wrapping every inch of her body.
"Crap." Mikan groaned trying to escape.
"Looks like you fell right into my trap." A sudden voice boomed through the dark room, "Now the real fun will begin."
