I am dead tired right now but since I just finished writing the new chapter, I'll post it. :D Loads of drama going on and I hope you guys like it!
"Screwed it up again?" Ruka asked the second Natsume banged open the classroom door.
"Shut up." Natsume hissed as he marched over to where Hotaru was fixing her new invention.
"You did it, didn't you?" Natsume banged his fist against her desk and hollered.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Hotaru said calmly, not even bothering to look at him.
"How is it that it's all over the papers? Who else would have those pictures?" Natsume interrogated, glaring at her.
"There are thousands of people in this entire school that could have a camera. I'm not the only one." Hotaru glared at him.
"You were the only one who knew." Natsume countered, scowling at her.
"Guys have you read—" Anna and Nono yelled as they ran into the classroom, their hand holding the school paper.
"Oh..."
"Look Hyuuga, I can find who took and printed those pictures, but you're gonna have to pay a lot. Also, for the last time, I didn't do it." Hotaru seethed angrily, finally losing her cool.
Natsume continued to glare at her but then finally sighed.
"Fine. How much?" He asked impatiently.
"600,000 rabbits." Hotaru said coldly, glaring back at him, and then held out her hand for the money.
Natsume cursed under his breath and wrote a cheque for her.
Hotaru slipped it into her pocket and jumped to action.
Mikan knocked on the door with quick taps.
When the door opened, she was on verge of tears.
"Teru..." She whispered.
"Is there something you need?" He looked surprised, but happy.
"Can I...uh..." Mikan hesitated, darting her eyes around.
"Yes?" Teru asked patiently.
"Please use your alice to take me from here." She whispered quietly, not daring to make eye contact.
Teru widened his eyes in surprise.
"W-What? Why?" Mikan didn't answer.
"Please, just let me leave." She pleaded, finally looking at him straight in the eye.
Teru sighed in defeat and concentrated.
A portal soon opened in front of them.
"This portal brings you to another world, in there, it is almost exactly the same as it is here, except there are no people unless I let others get in." Teru explained.
Mikan nodded as she listened intently.
"When you want to come back out, just say, 'open the door to the other world.' Same thing as when you want to go back in."
"So I can leave and go back anywhere I want?" Mikan asked.
Teru nodded but then added another sentence just to clear things up.
"Just keep thinking about your destination when you leave so it will teleport you to the right place."
"I understand. Please don't tell anyone about my location." With that, she took a deep breath and stepped into the portal.
"Alright Hyuuga. These are all the clues I can find." Hotaru said as she put down gigantic stacks of paper.
"Woah. Are you seriously gonna read all of that?" Koko and Kitsu asked in disbelief, staring at the human sized stacks of paper.
"I have to if I want to find who got those pictures and information." Natsume sighed, tapping his feet impatiently.
Natsume immediately started reading.
The class's jaws dropped almost instantly as they watched him flip through all those pages, looking at each for no more than 3 seconds.
"A-Are you seriously reading them?" Nono asked in awe as she stared at him flip through the papers.
"Actually, yes. He is." Koko said, sweat dropping.
"His mind is filling up with information on the papers." Koko added as he continued to watch him.
"Ok...So Natsume Hyuuga is smart, handsome, an alice master and a super duper fast reader." Anna counted the positive things with her fingers and shook her head in astonishment.
"Isn't that a little too fast though? How is that even possible?" Kitsu said, examining him as he floated above him.
In no more than 5 minutes he finished reading all the papers and was deep in thought.
"There's only one person that fits all the clues." Hotaru started, looking at Natsume.
Natsume nodded and sighed in annoyance.
"Luna Koizumi."
"Wow! This place really is exactly the same as the real world." Mikan said happily as she skipped around the school grounds.
The different school grounds. Where there are no people and no sound. Not even the singing of birds.
Mikan couldn't help but sigh in loneliness.
It was peaceful, but a little too quiet.
She shook her head quickly and smiled sheepishly.
"It's my decision to come here, so I won't regret."
Just then, her stomach growled loudly, making her blush a little.
"Well, it's good that no one is here." She giggled a little and then shouted in the sky.
"Open the door to the other world!" Instantly the same portal opened in front of her.
Mikan stepped into Teru's empty room.
"They must be at class." Mikan said under her breath.
Her stomach growled again.
She tiptoed to the cafeteria, careful not to let anyone see her.
When she successfully sneaked into the cafeteria, she quickly went and got her food and sat down happily to eat.
"There you are." Mikan jumped when she heard the voice.
"N-N...N..." Mikan stuttered uncontrollably as she stared at him in terror.
"It's alright. I'll keep this a promise. I will tell the others that you're sick." Mikan let out a sigh of relief and beamed at the man.
"Thank you, Narumi sensei." Mikan whispered, earning a smile from her teacher.
Narumi left and made sure that no one would see her as she ate.
Mikan sighed, contented.
She was glad that she had one more person to rely on, one more person she doesn't have to hide from.
Mikan gulped down the rest of her meal and patted her tummy in satisfaction.
"Have you guys seen Mikan?" A voice came from the outside of the cafeteria.
Panicking, Mikan dove underneath the table, scared that they would come in.
"No...She hasn't been in class the whole day." She recognized that voice. It was Koko's.
"Is she sick?" Kitsu asked.
"You guys wanna visit her later?" Mochu suggested.
The three boys nodded and they started making their way towards the dormitories.
Koko suddenly stopped, snapping his head at the direction of the cafeteria.
"What's the matter?" Kitsu asked, slapping his back playfully.
"Nothing. I thought I read a thought." Koko said but then shrugged it off.
Giving the cafeteria one last glance, they disappeared around the corner.
Mikan sighed in relief.
That was close.
She suddenly felt a pang of guilt for hiding from her friends, but honestly she didn't want to see them and get bombarded with questions.
Sighing, she muttered under her breath, opening the portal.
Just in case of being hungry again, she took the few boxes of Howalons Narumi had secretly put next to her.
Then, she jumped into the portal.
"Luna?" Anna asked in astonishment.
"Hmph. I always knew that pampered girl would cause trouble one day." Sumire remarked, crossing her arms over her chest.
Natsume kept cursing under his breath and Ruka caught him planting loads of F-bombs.
"Natsume, instead of swearing like that, would you go and find that Koizumi girl so that she knows she's wrong?" Ruka asked, patting Natsume on the shoulder.
Hotaru snickered.
"If you go and tell her what she did was wrong she would probably act all innocent and cry fake tears just to get you guilty."
"But Natsume won't fall for that, right?" Anna stated.
"Course." Natsume uttered under his breath.
Damn, that girl better watch her back.
Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he ambled out the door.
Mikan yawned as she woke up in her room.
"I haven't had naps in a loooong time!" She chirped happily.
When she looked out her window, she saw that it was already dark.
That made her wonder, is the time here the same as the real world?
Suddenly, the portal opened in front of her again, startling her.
"Mikan." She squealed in delight when she saw Teru and couldn't help but give him a huge bear hug.
Teru stiffened at the contact.
"Honestly, I was starting to feel lonely..." Mikan said sheepishly.
He smiled at her.
"Here's dinner. Besides, all your friends are going deranged." He handed her the lunchbox.
Mikan looked at him questionably.
"Koko, Kitsu and Mochu suggested to go and visit you, assuming you were sick." He sighed.
"When they went to your room, they knocked several times, and when you didn't open the door, they barged in." Mikan gasped.
"They freaked out when you weren't there. They told the whole school you were missing and made search parties. They skipped all their classes to try and find you. The teachers had a hard time controlling them."
Mikan looked down at the floor in guilt.
All of a sudden she didn't feel like eating anymore.
"I made everyone worry..." She sniffed, Her eyes brimmed with tears.
"It's not really your fault, Mikan." Teru soothed her as he sat down next to her.
She continued sniffing, trying to keep herself from bawling.
"Wh–What about Na– Hyuuga?" She asked in a small voice.
"Hyuuga? God he almost set half the school on fire." Teru muttered darkly.
"Wha!? How!?" Mikan exclaimed.
"Actually...I'm not so sure."
Mikan slumped on her bed dumbfounded.
"He would never do that. Are you sure it was him?"
"The teachers surrounded him and asked for an explanation. He was damn pissed for some reason and he admitted everything." Teru explained rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'd better go. Eat your dinner and then go to sleep, 'kay? I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning." With that he stood and and opened the portal.
Mikan forced a smile and waved good-bye.
When Teru left, she set the lunchbox on the table, not having any appetite.
She snaked inside the bed sheets.
After a few minutes, she found herself falling asleep.
Before losing consciousness, she was sure someone called her.
"Mikan."
There we go. Finally a new chapter. Thanks guys for all the reviews. :D It made my day 'cause honestly I've half given up on this story. I thought no one would read it anymore.
Next chapter will be talking about Natsume and what happened when Mikan was napping. I wonder what happened with him and Luna? Please RnR! :D
