Gakuen Alice: No Pain, No Gain

Chapter 3 part 2: No Pain, No Gain


    At the end of the day, Mikan looked slightly tired, but was trying very hard not to show it. Miho could tell though and tried to ask her what was wrong, but Mikan ony shook her head and made a shield so no one could approach them a they walked out the door. They escorted the boy's to their dormitory and then Mikan teleported to the girl's dorms with Miho since she could feel them being followed. Mikan went into her room and lay down on her bed, drained from using her Alice so much. She heard a knock on the door between her and Miho's room.

     "Yes?" Mikan called. Miho came in and Mikan stood up, "What is it?"

      "He's looking for you", Miho told Mikan. She sighed and asked Miho to return to her room. Of course by "he" she meant Natsume.  Mikan formed and illusion so that HE wouldn't see their rooms as he passed by. They held their breath until they heard him walk away. Miho came into Mikan's room again and told her he was gone. Mikan put down the illusion and waited until Miho was gone before collapsing on her bed again.

      Mikan would never tell anyone, but her Alice type was the kind that gave you unlimited power, but at the cost of your life. She didn't really care anymore, as long as she accomplished her "Grand Plan."

     Just then Miho called out to Mikan using her Telekinesis Alice which they had decided to keep a secret from the school. Mikan amplified the link so it would reach the boys too. They chatted away for about an hour until Mikan faked wanting to get some sleep. She was sweating pretty badly by then and had begun coughing. She ran to the bathroom in hopes that Miho wouldn't hear her there. She was getting a huge headache which hurt A LOT. She was blinded by the pain and all she could think of was to make it go away. She grabbed wildly and felt a razor. She raised it and lifted her arm wrist side up as she brought it down.

Natsume's POV

     "Mikan. It's Mikan. Mikan's back", it was all he could think of as he ran after the group led by the girl in question. "Mikan" he whispered once the girl's teleported and he was left at a loss. Then he thought that he might be able to find her room and he would be able to apologize. He knew it was a long shot, but it was worth trying. He hastily ran to the girl's dorms., wanting nothing more than to find her and hold her in his arms. He had been in love with her, and still was, yet he had hurt her in a time when she needed him. He had never gotten over that fact.

     He ran up to he Special star's floor and knocked on all the rooms, but still he never found her's. The robot maid told him that Mikan's room was indeed on that floor though, so he assumed that she must be using some sort of Alice to keep her room hidden. He sighed and walked away, memorizing each room as it was now. He would come back tomorrow during class and wait for her. That was all that he could do for now.
