Chapter 9:don't tell him she's gone.
Mikan was being carried on a shoulder of somebody. By the uncomfortable position, she slightly opened her eyes to find she's surrounded by darkness and nothingness. The man carrying her carefully put her down and she come face to face to him. She was looking at those crimson eyes that were looking back at her coolly. Her eyes widened and hope rushed up.
"NATSUME!" she said smiling with tears finding a way to get out of her brown eyes towards the person in front of her and gave him a hug. "Thank God you're here. I… I was so scared… and… wait a minute." She said letting go of her hug and wiping off her face. "You are not Natsume." Mikan said as she observed him.
"How did you know it wasn't Natsume?" the boy in front of her said.
"I… I know perfectly Natsume's attitude. He wouldn't stay quiet. He'll say 'calm down now polkadots' or 'whatever'" Mikan said looking around. "Anyway. What are we doing here?" she asked.
"I am having you as a hostage." Then Yusuke injected something into Mikan forcibly which made Mikan faint again.
After that, Yusuke laid her flat in the floor facing the ceiling. After doing so, he took off Mikan's clothes except the undies then put his hand high above her. Suddenly, ice started crawling through Mikan's body starting from her feet upwards. It stopped just on Mikan's neck. As Yusuke finished what he was told to do so, he took his phone and called somebody important.
"The girl is ready… Persona." He said then he shot the phone off and went to stare at Mikan with his mad eyes waiting for a signal to kill her. But why Mikan and not Hotaru? Besides, he was the one who who hurt Mikan.
Back at the party, the gang still hadn't found Mikan but decided not to tell the teachers about it to let the party go along as planned. They secretly looked for Mikan and Koko accidentally met Mr. Narumi on his way to the dormitories. "Why are you here? The party's downstairs." Mr. Narumi questioned.
"we… were playing hide and seek." Koko said.
"Oh, so you are playing with imai? I saw her too and said the same thing."
"Yup."
"How about Mikan, I haven't seen her."
"She's with us." Koko said dropping sweat. "Uhmm… I have to go Mr. Narumi." Then he ran leaving Mr. Narumi wonder.
He met up with others who were terrified and worried. Mikan was nowhere to be found and Yusuke was the number one suspect. When they returned into the party garden, it was being cleaned up. They realized then that the whole party was spent on finding where Mikan could be.
They decided to go to Mikan's room and find some clues of where and who might had took her. At first Hotaru was sure who it is but insisted not telling the others. Exhausted by their failed search, they were lazily and yawningly walked towards Mikan's room. Ruka walked beside Hotaru but did not say any word.
Hotaru on the other hand kept on looking at her watch and sweating really bad. "What's wrong?" Ruka then asked. She stopped and then grabbed Ruka farther from the others who did not notice them.
"Ruka, Yusuke took Mikan." She said for the first time with worries on her face.
"WHA-" Ruka almost shouted but Hotaru placed her hands on his mouth to shut him up.
"Shhh… i… well it's a long story but Yusuke… he asked me to be his girlfriend." Hotaru said.
"Oh… what does that…. Have to do with Mikan?" Ruka said hiding his face.
"I said I can't have him as my boyfriend and I had personal reasons. Maybe he was putting mikan into this." Hotaru said. "Shouldn't we inform Natsume?"
"We'll tell him as he comes back." Rukas said joining the crowd.
At Mikan's doorway the robot dorm lady told the boys to leave the girl's dorm so they left. The dorm robot also told the girls to go to their respected rooms. Hotaru was almost at her room when she decided to barg inside Mikan's room. She saw it neatly kept and no sgn of anything violent. She opened the dresser and found mikan's clothes folded and hanged. She also went into mikan's bathroom still nothing suspiscious until she opened the drawer of her side table. There she saw two kimonos. One for a girl and one for a boy. She can't stand worrying anymore so she left mikan's room and headed to the faculty only to find out there were o more teachers in sight.
She went into her lab to check any traces to where mikan was but it only lead to her room. There she tried all the options. Meanwhile, after Natsume's mission he went straight to the academy. That was almost morning. He first passed into mikan's doorway before going into his own. he knocked but there was no answer so he thought mikan's still sleeping.
That day at the classroom, Ruka was late and so as the others who desperately looked for mikan. Hotaru did not attend class which was very unusual. Natsume started to worry but his face shows no reaction. Even the teachers were late. "What is happening?" Natsume asked himself. He left the room without anybody noticing except of course for Ruka.
He was quietly following his best friend that he did not notice Natsume stopped which made him bump into his back. "Why Ruka?" natsume asked coldly.
"Ah.. well.. it's nothing… I just feel like not taking classes today." Ruksa said lying.
"You never lied to me before. Ah well… I guess you changed." Natsume said as he continued walking.
They reached a peaceful place, the sakura tree. Natsume sat on the calm grass andbegun to read his manga. Ruka stayed quiet waiting for the right time to tell natsume about Mikan. Mikan's last conversation with Ruka was at the party last night. They were talking about Natsume.
Flashback
"So tell me, Why did you like Yusuke in the first place?" Ruka asked.
"I don't know. Maybe because he's cute, he's kind, and he's definitely not like natsume!" Mikan said.
"why are you comparing him to natsume?" Ruka asked again.
"Well… because whenever I see Yusuke I remember natsume. They ahs the same hair and eyes. Lonely and deep. Yusuke may be jolly and always smile but looking through his eyes I can see emptiness. While on Natsume… I can see if he's happy… or not… well… they were somehow the same." Mikan said as she giggled for a while.
End of flash back.
Ruka opened his mouth to say something but they can hear Koko shouting their names. "Ruka! Ruka!"
"Ruka and natsume looked at him and waited to catch his breath. "What is it?" Ruka asked.
"Mikan… she's at Hotaru's lab!" koko said.
"What?" ruka asked.
"Hurry up. You have to see. And please come to natsume." Koko said.
Ruka stood up waiting for antsume to follow but he didn't he just stood there as if he doesn't care. Well he doesn't know what happened so why would he panic anyway? "I case you do not know. Yesterday there was a black out. We were together… all of us… but when the lights were back she's gone. Natsume… Mikan's been kidnapped." He said.
"Tch. They said she's in imai's lab now. There no reason to overreact now ruka." Natsume said.
"No you are wrong Natsume. Hotaru was watching as she stole a videotape from the faculty which was sent this morning. At the video was mikan unconscious. Not wearing anything except for her underwear… and she…. She was inside a coffin made from ice." Koko said then he and Ruka left as soon as natsume showed no reaction.
When the two boys were already far, Natsume clenched his fist and cast a fire which was reflected. "Andou you'll pay!" he said as he secretly looked for Mikan.
