Mikan's Pov
"The mission..." I paused and debated in my mind whether I should tell my friends about it. A war started in my head.
"The mission...?" I heard Hotaru repeating what I had just said. The minute I looked into her dark eyes, the victory of the war has been declared.
"The mission... My mission is to bring light into darkness in this school." I explained. "Onii-chan said that I have to come here to investigate and bring radiance to this gloom." As soon as I saw my friends' facade, I stopped explaining.
Like I expected, Hotaru and Natsume did not show much expression. On the other hand, Luca-Pyon showed a mixture of feelings. Namely shocked, worried and sad.
"Giving them the information on my nullification Alice only, I entered this school. Then, I slowly show them my ability to steal Alices. After the Principal realised my stealing Alice, he put me into the dangerous ability class, hence I found out about its darkness."
"Yes, I know. You wrote about the darkness in your school in your letter." Onii-chan reminded me.
'Then why!? Why didn't you reply my letters even though you received it!? 'A voice in my head screamed.
"Varia..."
"Huh?" everyone turned to the unexpected speaker.
"What varia...? Reborn-san"
"Tsuna and his guardians were fighting Varia, training every day, thinking of a better strategy. It is obvious to anyone that they did not have enough time and energy to reply your messages." Reborn-san answered the question in my mind.
Silence engulfed the room.
"I see... now that you mention it, no wonder Yamamoto became so much more faster in terms of speed." I pointed out.
"The trainings paid off." Yamamoto flashed a smile at me.
"Geez... Let's train TO THE EXTREME!!! DIDN'T SHOUICHI SAY THAT WE NEED TO SETTLE WHATEVER THINGS IN SCHOOL FAST!? ISN'T THERE A TIME LIMIT!?" Sasagawa nii-chan yelled enthusiastically.
"Time... Limit...?" confused, I asked no one in particular.
"Yeah you are correct, time limit. Mikan, you have only three days to destroy the elementary school principal. I mean not exactly destroy, but more like to corner him." Onii-chan explained to me while putting on a serious facade.
Onii-chan sure has grown mature ever since Reborn-san came.
"In order to prepare you for the battle with elementary school principal, we need to train you here. As for Natsume-kun..."
Onii-chan called Natsume as if they were best friends for a long time...
"I want you to make a choice. Do you want to help us fight the elementary school principal or do you want to fight against us?"
"But onii-chan..." I started, worried that no one knew about Natsume's condition.
"I know what you want to say, little sister. I will not be using his fire alice. After all, he has the fourth type of alice. Am I right?" He assured me tenderly.
This is what I like about onii-chan. He does things that make people happy.
I smiled.
"Hn..." there goes Reborn-san's famous 'Hn...'
Natsume has always been fighting for the elementary school principal even though he clearly knew what type of alice he has.
"I know the reason why you are helping the elementary school principal, Natsume-kun. Don't worry, she is fine and you will be able to find her soon. But if our surprise attack is known to others, then she will be in serious danger."
Is it just me, or is the room's temperature rising?
"Natsume..." The room temperature went back to normal again.
Natsume's Pov
"In order to train you for the battle with the elementary school principal, we need to train you. As for Natsume-kun..."
That Tsuna guy called my name like we've been friends for a long time. Idiot...
"I want you to make a choice"
Choice... what choice do I have to make?
"Do you want to help us fight the elementary school principal or do you want to fight against us?
This question came too abruptly... I have to fight alongside with the elementary school principal. But even the thought of that disgusts me. But... in the midst of my train of thoughts, I heard Mikan speak.
"But onii-chan..."
"I know what you want to say, little sister. I will not be using his fire alice. After all, he has the fourth type of alice. Am I right?"
How did he know that? And how did Mikan know about it?
"I know the reason why you are helping the elemtary school principal, Natsume-kun. Don't worry, she is fine and you will be able to find her soon. But if our surprise attack is known to others, then she will be in serious danger."
Aoi... there is no way I am allowing those dirty hands of the elementary school principal to lay on her! NO WAY!
While I was screaming in my mind, I lost control of my alice.
"Natsume..." I felt a sudden force calming my raging fire now. It is the same sensation I experienced in class, but this strong calming force gave me time to gain control of my alice.
"Please do not waste your precious life like that, Natsume." Someone spoke.
It doesn't matter to anyone whether I am dead or alive.
"Even though I don't want to say this but if the baseball idiot did not open his box quickly, we will all be baked by now."
I rolled my eyes. No one asked for your opinion, you white octopus hair.
Mikan Pov
"Ha-ha..." Yamamoto nii-chan gave an easy laugh.
"What do you mean by Yamamoto nii-chan opening his box?" bewildered, I asked out loud.
"Hn. Look up."
Obediently, my head tilted upwards and I saw a bird flying around the room.
Continuing from where he left, "Nice job Yamamoto, for your quick reflexes. The credit goes to you, too, when you guys entered the classroom."
"Well, Mukuro mentioned that there is a guy under the dangerous alice present in the room. So I let Kojiro out as a precaution."
"Mu-Mukuro-san?" I was astonished to hear his name being mentioned.
"Mukuro has the alice to see one's identity and alice. With that being mentioned, I am sure that now you know why Mukuro knew all about your friends."
"Where is the girl that came with us?" Luca-Pyon asked unexpectedly.
Now that he mentioned it, I wonder where she went to as I did not see her during lunch.
"She went to look for Mukuro." Onii-chan announced her whereabouts to us.
"LET'S TRAIN TO THE EXTREME!!!"
"Okay, we know, Onii-chan... Well, let's strengthen your alices. Hm..." he pauses to rethink something. "Maybe leave that for later. Let's train your combat skills first, by fighting them." Onii-chan pointed to the door opposite from the ones we entered from.
"Spanner!!!" He shouted at the door.
A second later, the door opened, followed by two robots I have never seen before entering the room side by side.
At the corner of my eyes, I think I saw stars coming out from Hotaru's direction.
"You will be fighting these two specially modified mosca. Try to defeat them without using your alices. For your information, it can detect whether you are using your alice. So don't try to cheat, Mikan and Natsume." Onii-chan ended with a smile.
I always thought that Onii-chan has the nicest smile in the world.
"What!? Me and Natsume? What about Luca-pyon and Hotaru?"
"They will do something different from you two."
"Oh... Okay."
Normal Pov
The training started. In a corner, Hotaru and Spanner watched the two fights the Moscas. While admiring the Moscas, Hotaru's purple eyes twinkling in delight. Shortly, they left the room.
Ruka was training with the guardians, testing to see if his alice works on box weapons.
Meanwhile, Natsume managed to throw a punch on the Moaca's arm. However, was flung off and landed conveniently beside Mikan. Coincidently, Mikan jumped to avoid the robot's attack. And thus, Natsume was able to see a clear view of her... you know, undies.
"So its roses this time, huh, Polka?"
It took her three seconds for what he said to register into her head.
"HENTAI!!!" she screamed.
"Are you okay, Mikan?" The guardians asked as they rushed towards the scene.
"Natsume, hentai! Why do you always have to look at what underwear am I wearing!?"
"Eh!?" The guardians chorused together.
"You showed it to me yourself."
"I didn't!"
"BASTARD!!!"
"Calm down, Gokudera..." Yamamoto turned to Natsume after calming the agitated octopus-head down. "Isn't it kinda mean?"
Tsuna caught Reborn smirking at the corner of his eyes.
"Reborn! What are you smirking at?"
"It's normal..."
Tsuna caught what Reborn meant. After spending three years with Reborn, it is natural for him to know what Reborn thinking.
"Of course it is natural for you! Due to your size, I bet you see it many times!"
Reborn skilfully pinch the back of Tsuna's hand and twist his arm, causing him to be in an awkward position.
"Ouch..."
"Criticise my size again and I will not hesitate to blow your brain away." He warned.
"Gomen, gomen..." apologising repeatedly, he hoped that Reborn will let go.
The training resumes, without any more disturbances, and it ended when the time for dinner approaches. After the meal, everyone gathered in the conference room except for the two ladies and the two kids. During the discussion, a plan is formed and they concluded that they need someone special to assist them- Someone special that understands the power of their target.
Who is the target?
Who is the special 'someone'?
A/N:
Etsuko: That's all for chapter 6. Please support my own solo fanfic Near, Yet Far Thanks
Mikan: I wonder what will the special someone do to the target?
Etsuko: Mikan-chan. You are suppose to come in before the story -.-
Mikan: o.o really? I didn't know that…
Etsuko: Grr… Never mind.
Mikan: Where's Aki-chan?
Etsuko: Probably burying her head into her textbooks now…
Mikan: Well than I will come back in the next chapter. This time round I will come before the story start.
