Mikan's POV

"Sakura-san you're attending class!"

"Shut up Narumi."

I sat down at my seat ignoring all of the stares that everyone was giving me. Then Naru said," All the teachers are having a meeting today so free day!"

And then skipped out of the room. After Koizumi walked up to me.

"Why are you still here, Bitch?"

I didn't say anything and continued to read the book I had. Then she took the book away from me.

"Didn't you hear me? Why the hell are you still here?"

I took out my backup copy and began reading again. She looked really mad. I decided to read her thoughts for a little bit. This bitch is so annoying more than the girl who was dancing with Natsume. Why can't she just die?

Hmm… nothing out of the ordinary. I read my book ignoring her. Then she took the book out of my hands again and threw it at someone. I took out a different book and began reading that and she did the same. How many books does she have? How rude! I only have 10 in my bag. She is really bitchy. I then stood up and collected my thrown books and was about to go get a waffle when I saw Miku at the door.

"Mikan-onee-chan," she yelled in joy as she hugged me. I hugged her back.

Everyone was shocked. Why is that little girl hugging Sakura? I lifted her up and glared at the class. Then Koizumi said," Little girl why are you calling this bitch Onee-chan?"

Miku turned her head and glared at her. Then Koizumi exploded but unfortunately was still living because she yelled," What the heck?"

"Aw, the ugly person still alive."

Then she glared at the little girl. "Me? Ugly?"

"Yes and your makeup is heavy and you look like a monkey's butt."

"You're calling the prettiest girl in this school ugly?"

She probably gave herself that title. No one even likes her.

"You're dumb too. Ugly dummy, Mikan-onee-chan is prettier than you."

"You little-"

"Super ugly dummy."

I snickered silently. She's arguing with a five year old and losing.

"Mikan-onee-chan can we get some candy? Ugly dummy is really weird. "

I nodded. Then we teleported to my room for some Howalon. I let her down then got a box out as well as some milk candy.

"Thank you."

"Miku do you want to do something today since it's a free day?"

"Can we get Noba-nee-chan and go to central town?"

"Sure."

And so we were off.

Natsume's POV

That was interesting. Luna losing to a little girl. But that little girl was right Mikan is prettier than any girl I ever seen. Wait where did that come from? KOKORO STOP READING MY MIND OR I WILL BURN YOU TO A CRISP!

I glared at Kokoro who was trying to hide from my sight. Now what to do with the rest of my day… Most of the class had already left after Polka and the little girl left. Then Ruka interrupted my thoughts.

"Natsume, do you want to go to Central Town?"

"Wouldn't you be spending today with your girlfriend?"

"Hotaru and I have a dinner date and she said that she was going to be busy until seven."

"Alright then."

We walked to the bus stop to see other students also going to Central Town. Including Polka, Ice, and that little girl. The ride there was quick. When we got off I went to go get the new volume of my manga.

"Nee Natsume?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you like Sakura-san?"

I looked at him. "Why do you think that?"

"You always look at her everyday and you don't push her away."

"I look at her because I'm looking out the window and she's not trying to get me to like her," I explained simply.

Then I brought my manga and we went to find Ruka something to give Imai on their date. So we went in a jewelry store. I started pointing to different ones.

"What about this?"

"I don't think she'll like the color."

"This?"

"Too big."

I held up one after another. It was either too small, too heavy, too cheap, or not good enough. I think we went through every piece in the store not finding one that Imai would like.

Then we saw the trio from earlier eating marshmallow ice cream with bags on the bench. Wouldn't Sakura know what Imai would like? Then we looked at each other knowing that we had the same idea and walked up to them.

"What," Sakura asked coldly as usual.

"Sakura-san I need your help."

"I already know that you want to give Imai-san something."

"So?"

"So what?"

"Will you help him?"

She stood up and shrugged. Then turned to the little girl. "Can we help them Mikan-onee-chan?"

Then to Ice. "It wouldn't be a bad idea."

"Alright then what were you planning on getting her as a gift?"

"Jewelry."

"Have you tried that accessories shop?"

"No."

"I think I saw something that Imai-san would love."

Then Sakura took Ruka's hand and dragged him there. When we got there Ice showed us a wiry bracelet that had small jeweled purple flowers. He examined it. Then I noticed that Sakura was looking at a chocker with a sakura flower dang from it.

"That's perfect."

"And if she doesn't like that then give her this."

Sakura handed Ruka a slip of paper. He looked confused. "It's a coupon for a free crab brains for a month. She liked them when we were kids. "

"Thank you so much you two."

"No problem Nogi-san."

Then they left and Ruka went to purchase the bracelet. I looked at the necklace Sakura was looking at.

Mikan's POV

After exiting the store, we went to the bus stop since it was late and Miku fell asleep while we were walking so now she was sleeping on Nobara's back.

"Are you tired Nobara?"

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Then at least let me take her back to her dorm."

"Alright."

She carefully put her in my arms. "I'll see you later Mikan-chan."

"Later."

And with that I teleported to Miku's two star room, changed her, and put her in bed. Then looked at my pocket watch. 7:30. I think I'll go make me some dinner before my mission tonight.

3 hours later

"Well?"

"Someone with a medusa Alice is in the hospital about to die. With a rare Alice like that it's almost a disgrace for them to even have an Alice. So steal it away from them."

I nodded. Then teleported. This mission is a lot easier than normal. Why is that? I put that thought aside and went on to work. I disguised myself as a nurse and entered the room. Then walked up to the bed with the sick little boy and put my hand on his neck.

"What are you doing to me," he asked in a weak voice. I didn't say anything and the stone started to form.

"Are you taking my Alice away? Please don't take it."

"Why shouldn't I?"

"It's… helping me… live."

And with that his eyes were closed into a sleep that he won't wake up from. When I was about to put the stone in my pocket, a voice made me freeze.

"Still doing missions for the academy I see."

I quickly turned around. "Do you have a problem with that?"

"I do. If you aren't going to work with me willfully then I'll force you."

"And you will not tell me?"

He smirked. What? Then I felt someone behind me and quickly turn around to see someone holding a gun with a bullet already shot. That hit me in my left shoulder. I feel something spreading.

"That's it? This pain is nothing."

He was still smirking. I teleported in front of Persona bloody.

"What happened to you?"

I held out the stone. "I'm just a little dizzy."

He took the stone from my hand. Then I only saw darkness.

I ran to the hospital.

"Sakura Mikan's room now!"

The nurse pointed scared. "Thanks."

I ran again. Mikan please be alright please… I opened the door to see Mikan unconscious on the bed and Persona-sensei beside her.

"Persona-sensei what happened to Mikan?"

"She was shot with a bullet that had poison."

"Is she going to be alright?"

"The bullet has been removed as well as most of the poison but she's lost a lot of blood. It'll take her a while to recover."

Mikan… "I'll have the black cat resume missions."

I looked at him shocked. "I'll do them."

I can't let Natsume-kun do missions again or everything Mikan worked for will be gone.

"You lack power. Only he can do these. "

With that said he left the room. Mikan… I'm sorry I couldn't do anything.

Natsume's POV

I paced around in my room. Where could that girl be? I looked at the neatly wrapped box that was in my hands. I still don't know why I brought this.

Flashback

I looked at the sakura necklace.

"You should buy it Natsume."

"Why would I buy this?"

"For Sakura-san. She seemed to like it."

"Why would I buy something for her?"

"Because you like her."

"I don't like her."

But in the end I did buy it. I guess I could say that it's a thank you gift for helping Ruka.

"What do you want Persona?"

"It seems that you'll be doing a mission tomorrow."

"You haven't given me a mission in two years. What's going on?"

"I suggest you do your mission or the people who you care for will go."

I didn't say anything. "Good little neko."

That bastard. Then Nobara ran into my room out of breathe and went on her knees.

"What the fuck?"

"Natsume, please don't go on missions again or you'll-"

"What I do doesn't concern you."

"But-"

"Get out of my room or I'll burn you."

She stood and then left without another word. What's with her?

The next day

Narumi walked in the room wearing a normal girl's outfit. There is something wrong with that mainly because he walked in like a normal person. Then I noticed that Sakura wasn't here yet.

"Sensei where's Sakura," asked Imai.

"She's… um…"

'Answer or I'll some everyone the picture of you kissing Misaki sensei."

"Well, she's in the hospital."

"Why?"

"I don't exactly know the details but she got hurt somehow."

Did she get hurt during a mission? But that doesn't explain why Nobara was in my room last night.

"Sensei we can see her right," she asked while holding her ultra baka gun.

"Umm… sorry Hotaru-chan but only a few people can see her now."

After school

"Oni-san let me see Mikan."

"Persona made himself clear as well as the High School Principle only to let certain people see her."

For that last 15 minutes Imai has been trying to convince her brother to let us see Mikan. But so far it's useless.

"I've got pictures of you when you were younger and your journal with the rabbit."

He looked scared.

"Fine, 2 minutes."

"And I have the pictures of you with the deer."

"3 min-"

"And the one with girl."

"4-"

"And the one with Narumi."

"5-"

"That's a start. I also have the picture with that girl that turned out to be a b-"

"Fine! 10."

"And you have to let us see her when ever we want."

"Hotaru that's-"

"I will spread all the pictures and your baby pictures around school."

"You are an evil little sister."

"Thank you."

"15 minutes."

Never underestimate Imai. When did she get so many pictures? The older Imai opened the door. We went in. Mikan had a few wires connected to her and was unconscious on her bed.

"Thank goodness."

I looked at Imai she had a small robot out.

"What is that?"

"Invention #561, Nursing robot. A small robot that has all of the functions of a hospital. Also includes how long it will take for the patient to heal and every kind of medicine. Currently selling for 10,000 rabbits."

"Who exactly are you talking to?"

"So how long?"

"Two weeks mainly because of blood loss and there is a bit of poisoning."

Thank goodness. She'll be back soon. Then the old Imai came in. "You need to leave now the High School Principle is coming."

"Fine. We'll take the window."

We all started to jump out but before I left I put the box with the necklace beside her. Then I jumped.

Nobara's POV

I went in with Mikan's uncle. She looks at little better than last night but she's still a little pale. I put some flowers in a vase next to her while her uncle was talking to a doctor. ThenI noticed a small box that was wrapped. What is this?

"How much blood did she lose?"

"About 10 pints. Maybe 15. But don't worry we had enough blood and now all we have to do is wait for her to regain consciousness."

"Thank goodness."

That's good. But I need to know something else too.

"Doctor, I have a question."

"Yes?"

"Do you know Hyuuga Natsume's condition?"

"His body is in a stable condition right. So it's okay for him to use his Alice. However if he uses his Alice too much he'll…"

"Thank you for telling me. I have to do something to do now. Excuse me."

I hurried out the door. Must find Persona and beg him for me to the missions until Mikan is well.

Normal POV at the shop

Mitsukai is sitting on her bed. Then Mitsuki comes in with tea and sets it on the table.

"What are you worrying about now?"

"Onee-chan Mikan is in the hospital and I've been hearing that Natsume-san is going on a mission tonight. Aren't you worried?"

"How can I not be? I heard that his condition is better than it was before but I don't know how many missions he'll have to do. Or how many times he'll have to use his Alice. And if he fails a mission those pills with the state of his body. "

"Can't we just do his missions for him?"

"You think I didn't ask already? Persona said that we couldn't because the missions he's going on are mainly murdering and we can't kill anyone for our lives. Neither can Nobara. And most of the people in DA are inexperienced or don't have the power. "

"But still… we can't do anything?"

"All we can do is hope."

Nobara's POV

Where is he? I've looked everywhere and can't find Persona. It's getting late too. Maybe I should look for Natsume. There's only two hours left before his mission starts. Then I noticed two people that looked familiar. I took out my opera glasses to look closer at them. It was Imai-san and her boyfriend Nogi Ruka I think. Maybe they know where Natsume is. I ran toward them.

"Excuse me… Imai-san… Nogi-san…!"

They looked toward me. "Do you know where Natsume-kun is?"

They didn't say anything and just looked at me. "He's on a mission. Wouldn't you know that?"

Already gone? Natsume normally has missions later at night. Did Persona tell hi to come earlier? "Thank you for telling me," I said while bowing. Then I left them.

What am I suppose to do now? What can I do now?

"Nobara?"

A voice interrupted my thoughts. I realized that voice was Mitsuki's. Then that I was in front of the shop. She invited me in.

"I'm sorry for the trouble," I said while she handed me the tea.

"It's no trouble but can you tell me why you were standing out there?"

I quietly sipped the sweet tea. "Is it about Natsume going on missions?"

"How did you know?"

She drank some tea. Then answered. "Nobara perhaps I should have told you before. But we already knew for a while."

"Knew what?"

"Mikan and Natsume-kun falling in love with each other. That was certain. But unlike fairy tales they might not have a happy ending."

I felt my eyes widen and a chill going over me. "Someone we knew had the Fortune Alice. One day they said that a cold yet kind girl and a sick but powerful boy will fall in love it was very unlikely they could be but they cared for each other so much. Unfortunately, it was likely that the girl would give up her life. It sounds like a sad fairy tale doesn't it?"

I nodded. "So that's Mikan and Natsume's fate? For Mikan to die for Natsume?"

"I'm sorry Nobara for telling you this late."

I looked in my lap. Tears started to form. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? We could've done something."

"Like what? We can't do anything for them except hope."

The tears started to fall down onto my lap. Then a hand patted my back. "Just let it all out."

"I can't do anything for Mikan. I can't do anything for someone that I really care about. Who is a very precious person to me who almost everyone is scared of."

"Nobara you've done a lot for Mikan. You helped her when she was ready to stop living, you stayed with her through thick and thin, you are an amazing friend to her."

"But you two helped her realized that she had a right to live."

"We also helped her fall in love with Natsume by making sure they both went to the dance and by letting Natsume see Mikan in a dress. So it's our fault. She treasures you as a friend so much. Don't ever forget that."

"I'm back! Wait, what's going on? Nobara are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Then why are you crying? Did Onee-chan give you spicy tea?"

Then Mitsuki hit her stupid little sister. "Why would I give her spicy tea? We don't even have hot sauce."

"Then why is she crying? Maybe you gave her really sour candy then?"

"We don't have sour candy either! By the way why were you so late?"

I giggled at the two sisters. They really make me feel better.

"I saw some star paper that said sweetest wishes for you. Isn't that cute? I also found some that had sakura flowers and snowflakes on it. One for Nobara and one for Mikan. Here you go, Nobara."

A packet of many strips of dark blue paper with white snowflakes was in front of me. I slowly took it. It was cute. "Thank you."

"The instructions are on the back. When Mikan gets out of the hospital then I'll give her them. Onee-chan can you make a container to put them in when they make them? "

"Wait a minute."

She closed her eyes and two pieces of ice formed. Then they slowly molded into small heart shaped jars and Mitsuki handed one to me.

"It's really pretty."

"Yay! You're not crying anymore."

"By the way Mitsukai, she knows."

"She found out?"

"No, I told her."

"Oh."

Then Mitsukai looked at me. "I'm really sorry we had to keep this from you."

"It's alright now. But… I can't do Natsume's missions for him?"

"You don't want to kill anyone do you?"

I shook my head. "Then that's that. Now let's go eat ramen!"

"You just went shopping."

"But they're mainly sweets or stuff for making sweets and fabrics."

"I should really stop letting you do the food shopping. Nobara what do you want curry or ramen?"

"You're letting me go too?"

"Why not? We haven't eaten together and you need a pick me up for everything that's been going on."

"Let's go get some ramen."

"Then we should hurry before the shop closes."

Then we went out. Natsume don't overuse your Alice.

Natsume's POV

I watched as the AAO person he told me to kill die in my flames. Then quickly and secretly got out of the building. Then used a speed Alice stone and ran back to the Academy to the place in the Northern Forest.

"Mission complete."

"Good job. You have another mission tomorrow."

"What was the point in making me file papers for three hours?"

"I didn't want to file."

There has to be another reason. I left him traveling by trees. When I was in my room I took off my mask and crashed on my bed and fell asleep.

Moon: And so this chapter ends like this. Until the next chapter.
