Mikan's P.O.V

"Mikan.." I hear a voice say.

"Mikan!" the voice yells. Finally I open eyes and look up to see Thief hovering over me.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"Its time, Mikan." says Thief sadly. I close my eyes tight, hoping that if I stay asleep long enough, the task I Hate the most will just disappear.

"Mi, we don't have much time." Thief says as he pulls me into sitting position. He stripes me of my wrinkled clothes, and dresses me in a pinstripe dress suit with a white blouse under it. He puts the diamond necklace I got for my birthday around my neck and diamond studs in my ears. He puts my hair up in a professional bun and slips tall black heels on my feet.

"Mikan, please just finish this quickly. I don't want anyone to suffer," he whispers right before Silver walks in.

"You used to be a lovely person," Silver says casually as he picks up a rose out of a vase.

"And im not now," I spit at him.

"You completely changed your personality. It is polar opposite of what it used to be. You used to be beautiful, now you are just a glorified monster." he said.

I give him a hallow smile.

"I got betrayed and stepped on. I was weak and naïve! I didn't know anything! I should have never dared too believe in a stupid thing called love. He didn't love me. I didn't love him. It was all just a lie," I say quietly.

"What did they do to you?" asks Natsume as he walks into the room in front of Greed and Hate.

"They fixed me," I say. He puts his hand on my cheek, hiding his face under his bangs.

"They ruined you," he whispers silently.

I swat his hand away from my face as my heart beats painfully in my chest. I put two fingers under his chin and look straight into his beautiful eyes. Before I get to lost in the crimson, I give him an empty look.

"You mean I had something left in me when I left the academy?" I say. His eyes widen just slightly. His lips part as if to say something, but he can't say a word before I walk past him swiftly and exit the room.

I leave Natsume standing in the dust.

Hate's P.O.V

Seeing Mikan like that…seeing her so happy and bubbly and….free. it's the side of her I never knew. All I wanted was for her to be happy, as happy as she could be in the form she is in, but I couldn't give it to her.

"She seems so different now." he says quietly, snapping me back to reality.

"Trust me, she is very different," says Silver.

"She used to be so happy, but we ruined her. She caught another girl kissing me. I didn't cheat on her, I swear that to you. The slut kissed me. Then she went to the classroom and our friends were frustrated and bashing on her. She went to Persona," his voice cracked slightly, his eyes looked so haunted. "He took her away. He said we would never see her again and that she hated us. He got something right. He said that she was branded and shipped away to be experimented on. I never really knew what he meant by that." he finishes.

"I froze her heart." I say simply. His eyebrows creased together.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"We wanted to see if you could freeze someone's emotions, yet keep there heart beating. It is quite an interesting experiment. She was the first one to live through it. She didn't cry, or beg for me to stop. She just closed her eyes and waited for it to end. She was a success. We froze her emotions and she became the leader of this group, then of the school." I say. Natsume's eyes burn with a feeling that I have only seen once before.

His eyes burn with hatred. My father was the only person that had ever truly hated me.

"FIX HER." he demands, fists clenched and eyes blazing.

"We cant, it will kill her. I don't think that you want her to die, do you?" I ask, acting relaxed. Trust me, I would have fixed her if I could.

"I will find a way to fix her," he spits as he walks out of the room. Silver runs after him, but after narrowly dodging a fireball he decides that it is a better idea to skip in front of him.

I can hear Silver smart mouthing Mikan before I hear Natsume talking to her. I walk in on there conversation and listen closely. I follow behind professional looking Mikan as she walks away from Natsume as fast as her heel clad feet will let her.

She walks all the way to the auditorium that is filled with people. She makes her way to the front and floats up the stairs to the podium up front. The whole room grows completely silent.

Hotaru's P.O.V

Everything is so different. Mikan is different. Natsume is acting different. This whole school is different. I don't even know what to make of everything and that confuses me. I don't like to be confused. I fall into my bed across from Nonoko and Anna and close my eyes, hoping I can get a moment of peace.

"We all need to be gathered into the auditorium in half an hour," Narumi sings as he opens the door and closes it before he can get hit with the Baka gun.

I got literally a moment of peace. Then the jackass ruined it. I sigh and sit up and get ready to go the auditorium with Nonoko and Anna.

"What do you think they are going to do in the auditorium?" asks Anna curiously. I shrug my shoulders. How should I know what in the world a school like this would do at a school gathering?

We all get ready and head down to the building. Never in my whole life, have I seen this amount of people make so much noise. My ears are ringing are and probably close to bleeding. I see a female walk on stage, and you would think they had just spotted the devil herself. The whole rooms turns completely silent in a matter of seconds. I search the silent crowd for my friends. I see Ruka and Koko together. Anna and Nonoko are at my side. Where is Natsume? I search the crowd and find him by the door, out of breath, and his eyes completely trained on the figure on the stage. Ill take a guess that the person up there is Mikan. I look, and my assumption was correct.

"Hello my lovely slaves, how are you today?" she asks in a cheery voice. Animalistic roars can be heard all around. They sound like blood crazy animals.

"Are you ready for Judgment time?" she asks. I can tell she isn't happy about this. The students go crazy though.

A big clear bowl is rolled out and it is filled with folded pieces of paper. She walks up to it and sticks her hand in. she takes out a piece and reads it.

"St. Blood?" she asks. Within seconds a black haired boy with crazy yellow eyes pops onto the stage with an animalistic grin on his face. He growls and shows his pointy teeth.

"Come at me, you uptight bitch!" he snarls.

The headmaster, still clad in his wrinkled Hawaiian shirt, comes out onto stage.

"Five, four, three," he says. They boy gets into a battle position. Mikan just smoothes out her skirt.

"Two, one," he says. All the muscles in the boys body tenses. Mikan just lazily stares at her perfectly painted red nails.

"GO!" he yells as he jumps off the stage. The boy disappears within seconds, he is going so fast you cant even see him.

The loose strands of Mikan's hair go up, and her eyes are moving all around, as if following something we cant see. Suddenly, we see a scratch appear on her perfect cheek. A single drop of blood drips down her cheek before she wipes it off and stares at it on her finger. She puts it into her mouth and sucks the blood off. The boy stops, his eyes wide as if he cant believe what he did.

Before the boy can utter a single word, Mikan takes out a shiny gun and shoots him in the head.

Natsume's P.O.V

I cant believe what im watching. This horror, in front of me. Everyone in the rooms breaks into cheers. What is wrong with these people? Are they monsters? Are they even human if they have no regard for anyone else's life.

Mikan walks down the stairs and everyone praises her. They all love her. She just killed a person and she is getting praised for it. She walks out of the building and disappears into the evening. I follow after her, following her into the bright colors of the evening.

I follow her around the campus as she weaves gracefully through anything that comes upon.

"Stalking is a crime," she says as she walks, not even bothering to turn around.

"You killed a person and you don't care," I say.

"He was causing mayhem. He was killing new students. He turned barbarian. Its his life for many others." she says as she turns around.

"The Mikan I knew would never be able to kill someone."

She walks right up to me and puts her mouth right next to my ear.

"What if I told you," she said as she traced circles on my chest. "That the Mikan that you knew was dead?" she asked as she looked into my eyes.

"I don't believe it." I say.

"I do." she says.
