"Dangerous Abilities, charge!" Tsubasa yelled in a swift move.

Utter chaos took over the AAO's secret base. Ghosts were flying around the room horrifying the organization's members, which was all thanks to Youchi's alice. Bugs were chomping at AAO scientists by Hajime's command. Tornadoes seemed to stir up the lives of fellow AAO members at the hands of Hayate. And many unfortunate AAO members who were unlucky enough to have their shadows come in contact with Tsubasa found their bodies moving uncontrollably.

"This is madness!" Kenji exclaimed as he kept his eyes peeled and dodged every bug, ghost, and tornado that came his way.

"Kenji-san!" Mikan screamed as she tried to run to the young raven haired boy but was stopped by an arm that wrapped around her waist. "Tsubasa-senpai!?" Mikan didn't know what her favorite senpai was doing there, and failed to mask her surprise.

"Don't worry kiddo, we came to rescue you," Tsubasa stated with a sly grin on his face.

"Senpai wait!" Mikan squealed as she tried to break away from him, but was in that instant brought to a hault.

"Graaaaaagh!" Tsubasa yelled as he collapsed and accidently dropped Mikan to the floor.

"Oh no you don't! Ms. Sakura isn't going, not on my watch!" Kenji said while draining Tsubasa's strength with his invisible Alice Blade.

"Stop!" Mikan begged, causing Kenji to hesitate slightly. There was something about Mikan's voice that hit Kenji the wrong way. Tsubasa noticed the falter in his actions, and wondered what Natsume would think about the look this boy was giving Mikan. Kenji's pause only lasted a moment.

"I'm not going to leave you Mikan-chan!" Kenji said with fiery determination in his eyes that seemed to rival that of Natsume. In fact for a moment, Mikan could have swore that she was looking into Natsume's eyes. God, she wanted Natsume back with her safe and sound. Probably so much so that she was seeing Natsume within everyone around her.

Tsubasa hit the boy on his head and Kenij dropped on floor, drained of his strength and affected by his fever he was helpless. The building was falling apart, boulders of concrete along with gushes of winds and bees and other random stuff. It was worse than a stampede. Tsubasa took another attack blow as he covered both Kenji and Mikan. "Hurry! Get out of here!" He told them.

"Natsume! Tsubasa-senpai….I won't leave without him."

"Don't worry about him Mikan we'll bring him with us. You can't carry him on your own, you're way too injured." Mikan was hesitant to obey Tsubasa but she had no choice, "I'll cover you, make your way out! Narumi is waiting for you outside in the car. Hurry!"

"Please take care of Natsume." With these words she started to make her way towards the exit.

"Sakura-san." She looked back and saw Kenji lying helpless on the ground. He reached out for her. She ran towards him, grabbed his stretched hand. "Come with me," she said as she helped him on his feet. "The Academy isn't that bad of a place as you think."

"I'll go with you...Wherever you say. Please don't leave me alone…" Kenji's eyes begged for Mikan's company as they filled with tears..

"Mikan hurry! Tsubasa yelled. Mikan and Kenji ran past the mayhem and made their way towards the door.

"Narumi sensei!" Mikan called out. Narumi saw two shadowy figures walk out of the fuming headquarters. He ran towards them. "Mikan-chan?" He supported her. "Who's the kid?"

"Don't worry sensei, that's Kenji. He's my friend."

"Get in the car two of you. We'll drive to the Academy."

"Sensei, Kenji kun's burning with fever. He has the fourth alice shape. Please get him to the hospital immediately. I am going back in, I've to get Natsume safely out."

"Mikan I won't let you do that. Tsubasa and the other DA members will bring him. You come back with me. It's your uncle's orders. "

"But-"

"You need to trust them, sweetheart. They'll be okay, and so will Natsume."

Mikan shut her mouth, and didn't argue. They sat in the car and drove of. Kenji feel asleep in the car his head on Mikan's lap. She stroked his hair in small strokes. She couldn't help but feel like Natsume's head was in her lap. The two boys were so similar, Mikan had to wonder. The coincidence made it easier to deal with Kenji, but didn't make the pain of the fourth alice shape any less brutal.

"Don't worry Kenji kun. We'll get you to safety."
