Chapter 33: Promises
Natsume smirked and took a head of this advantage. He brushed her stomach lightly as he spoke, "Mikan you perverted girl."
Mikan roared and pouted. Natsume bent down to her ear and whispered, "So what do you want to do Mikan-chan?"
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Then both laid there in silence as Mikan's senses widened. "What do I want?" Natsume continued to hold her gaze as he watched her eyes twinkle and cheeks brighten. Slowly Mikan fumbled her fingers lightly while she stammered out incomplete sentences.
"Ano…er…" her voice was shaky and embarrassed as she avoided Natsume's breath taking crimson eyes.
Natsume smirked and gently pecked her forehead. Mikan gasped and quivered a bit until she felt him get off and lay beside her. Blush continued to bubble on her face while Natsume entwined his hand with hers.
"Natsume…?" Mikan choked out.
"Hn?" he asked, trying to sound relaxed.
"Umm…" Mikan hummed until she gripped his hot hand, "thank you."
Natsume chuckled, "No problem little girl. Don't push yourself into things you don't want."
Mikan shyly nodded and laid on her side so she could embrace her loving boyfriend. As night died away they laid still; holding to one another until morning came.

"Is it just me, or that Natsume and the baka are fashionably late?" Lee asked unemotionally as he ripped off small pieces of paper and flicked them at Ruka below him.
"They usually are late on certain days and…WILL YOU STOP THAT!" Ruka began until another paper clump smacked him.
Hotaru quietly turned around and aimed her baka gun at the little kid, "You're annoying me. Go away."
Lee smirked and bounced out of his seat, down at Hotaru, "You can't beat me that easily." Gently Lee touched the barrel and smoke escaped the machine in an instant.
"What the!?" Hotaru yelled as she flung the gun onto her desk and opened the hatchet. Ruka watched fearfully as she didn't move.
Lee jumped onto the desk and laughed down at her, "Stupid girl!"
Suddenly Lee was in the air while Hotaru pulled out her mini baka gun; small but adds a punch.
"Ouch! Gah!" Lee screamed from his little boy lungs trying to block the bullets, "Stop!"
"Fuck you!" Hotaru yelled while she continued to shoot with no remorse.
"Good morning everyone!" Mikan greeted everyone inside the classroom.
Hotaru stopped and slowly turned towards her with a foul frown. Everyone squeaked and slowly inched towards the nearest exits.
"Hotaru? What's wrong?" Mikan asked unaware of the aura building around her best friend.
"Mikan!" Anna whispered loudly, "Run for it!"
Mikan turned towards the huddle of teens and raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Why would I ru---!" a quick baka bullet to the head made Mikan fall to the ground before knowing what hit her.
Gasps filled the room while many raced out the passageways. Hotaru silently put her gun down and returned back to her work. A heavy, relief sigh came among the terrorized students.
"Owie…" Mikan whimpered as she sat up holding her head carefully.
"That's what you get for pissing her off." A certain fire caster said from behind the aching girl.
Mikan jumped up and glared at him, "I didn't do anything though!"
"Sure ya didn't." Natsume replied hastily.
Mikan pouted her lips and crossed her arms, "Fine. I'm leaving."
Natsume smirked and trailed off to his seat while Mikan paced out of the classroom and down the hallway.

Meanwhile…"Is he dead?" Nonoko asked fearfully as her skinny finger poked a fleshy substance.
Anna gulped and answered back shivering, "I…don't know…"
"I'm not dead damn it!!!" Lee screamed giving his mad face, or at least he thought.
"Kyaa~~~!!" Both girls screamed and ran away while Lee growled and chased after them.

The bright morning sun prickled her pale skin while the slight breeze fondled her hair. Birds sand freely while animals hunted for their gold. Mikan sighed from the peace and quickly bounced up an unknown tree, nesting herself within its branches. Her once smiling face bore an unholy frown while her once glowing eyes stared blankly ahead. "Another mission hn?" she closed her eyes and placed both hands on her stomach, "I wonder how long I'll have to do this."
Who was she kidding, this was going to last until she was dead or Persona died. Once again the angel sighed. What a long life this is going to be.

"Lee."
The blonde haired boy swiped around only to face the nightmare of all Gakuen Alice. The one and only, Persona. Lee bit his lip and glared up towards him. Persona only smirked.
"Don't give me that look. You should be grateful I let you live after what you've done." Persona said evilly with a monstrous smile.
Lee gulped and clutched his fists together, "Who said you had to let me live?"
Persona growled and closed his eyes, "That stupid idiot."
Lee widened his eyes in surprise as Persona lifted one hand to his chin, "What do you mean?! Did Mikan request that I live?!"
"Exactly." Persona said smug.
"After what I did to her…" Lee whispered in shock remembering the day they meant. Almost killing her and Natsume, his newfound friends.
Persona chuckled and walked to the small boy, "I'm appointing you to a mission. You can't refuse."
Lee stepped back in fright while Persona pulled out a piece of paper, "You and Mikan are going back to the same place we found you but this time we must destroy what lies inside, under ground."
"What?" Lee asked pulling the paper from his hands.
"You didn't even know about it either. Poor child." Persona joked chuckling.
Lee glanced over the typing's and looked over the targets name, "We have to kill…Kyo Hinamori." Lee shivered and clutched the paper even more, "My…brother?"
Persona smirked and humphed, "The same brother who used you as bait so he and his men could get away from Mikan." Lee jumped back and stared at Persona, "He's now come back and this time we are going to destroy his system."
"You can't be serious! He's my family!" Lee argued back tears whiling up in his yellow eyes.
"I'm serious. Would I ever lie?" Persona asked glaring at him.
Lee bit his lip once again and handed the paper back to him, "Promise me this Persona. Mikan will kill him. Not me."
"I can't keep promises little boy. All I know is what I say goes." Persona answered back walking away from Lee.
Lee closed his eyes in sadness as tears rolled down his red cheeks, "I don't wanna…"
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Kill Lee's brother!" Mikan said shocked.
"Yes." Persona answered back itching his blasted ear drum, "The operation will take off tomorrow. I'll come and get you around 5:00 am."
Mikan growled and glared at him, "And you are planning to take Lee along?"
Persona smirked and leaned off the tree he was leaning on, "Yes."
Mikan gasped and ran up to him grabbing his coat, "How could you! He's only a little kid! Give him training before this kind of stuff! God… You're a monster!"
Persona smacked her hands away and glared down at her, "And you now just figured that out. Tsk."
Mikan growled louder and grabbed his coat again, "How dare you…you bastard!"
That sent Persona off. With all his strength he pushed her away and grabbed her throat, lifting her off the ground, "Shut up. You can't tell me what to do."
"Like hell I will!" Mikan cried out gagging or air, "I'll protect my friends!"
Persona sighed and dropped the girl. Mikan landed on the ground while she coughed and gag, "Then you kill his brother. Don't make him do it."
Mikan widened her eyes and looked over at him, standing away from her so she couldn't see his face. He continued, "I won't let you get away with this kind of thing next time." With that he disappeared into thin air.
Mikan sat there staring off into space while she held her throat and think off Lee, "What was that?"
