The Daughter Of A Warrior

.5. Reunited & Nicer Than He Seems?

Picture - Natsume and Ruka

I was walking in the small little forest by the school when I felt someone grab my arm. I yelped and snatched my arm back. "Hey Hitomi, it wasn't really nice to not tell me all of your Alices. Your poor brother had told me instead..." I stared at him. "You said you'd bring me to my brother." I told him. "No, I said I knew where he was." My hands went into fists. "Where is my brother?" He snickered. "He's safe, for now." I set a blue fire ring around him the sky becomes barker and the grass around me had died. I could feel a sick smile coming from him. "Now now, if you killed me, you would never see your brother again." My fire flickered and slowly faded and the weather went back to normal. He steps towards me and grabs my arm forcing me to look at him. "The fait of your brother is in my hands. Join me and I'll make sure he doesn't get hurt." I look down. It's like when father started beating me... Just this time my brother could die. I snatch my arm away from him. "Take me to my brother, otherwise I refuse to believe you." I felt a sick smile from under his mask. "Of course. But for now, you have a class to go to. I'll tell your brother you're coming to visit him." He walks off and when I can't see him anymore I fall to the ground and sigh.

I hear a twig snap from behind me. I jump around to see that it's Natsume. "Oh... hello Natsume... what are you doing here...?" I ask looking behind me to make sure the man is actually gone. "So, you have multiple Alice's... Was that all of them?" He asked taking a step towards me. I shook my head no. "Don't let him control you..." He said. I looked up at him with a confused look. "He's a very bad man, he uses us to do the academies dirty work." Does that mean he's been using my brother?! I hope he's alright... "We should get to class." I whisper, he nods and starts walking towards the school.

*After Class*
Natsume had told me all about the strange man, his name was Persona and he was very dangerous. He runs the Dangerous Ability Class as well. "I'm going with you." I turn around to see Natsume and Ruka. "No." I said softly. "We're coming with you anyways. You can't go alone with him, he's dangerous." Ruka said. I look down at my feet. "Fine." I say, I knew they weren't going to leave me alone, and they probably would have came with me even if I said no. Ruka, Natsume and I all walked up to Persona as he snickered. "I see they decided to join us." He said. I nodded as he started walking. We all fallowed him. It felt like forever until we entered a room. "Hitomi!" My brother hugged me as I hugged back. He let go of me checked to see if I was injured. "Kichiro, you disappeared and this man said he'd take me to you." He looked over towards Persona and sighed. Hugging me once more he walked over to Persona and thanked him. I looked over at Natsume and Ruka who seemed shocked that my brother thanked the man. "She was very eager to see you, nearly killed me when I didn't." He seemed to give a small laugh as my brother sighed. "She's a lot like her mother." I light up. "You knew our mother?!" I walked over to him hoping he would tell me about her. Father wouldn't talk about her and brother only ever said our mother was very powerful and a wonderful person... And a great mother. I wish I could have met her... "Why yes I did, most people at the academy did. She was my sister after all." I smiled. "Could you tell me what she was like? Was she nice? My brother said she was powerful! Is that true?!" My mind started filling up with questions. I felt bad for almost killing him now. I felt Natsume tap my shoulder pulling me out of the room. "Don't trust him." I looked at him confused. I mean, sure he gives off a scary vibe but he seems like a good person at heart. He has to be a good person if he's my moms brother. "Why not?" I ask him. Ruka looked at us sadly. I sighed. "You two didn't have to come along... You guys can leave." I said. I realized my voice isn't as quiet as it normally is. "We aren't leaving." Natsume said and Ruka nodded in agreement. My brother came out and tapped me. "Persona is putting you in the dangerous ability class. You three should be heading back to to your rooms. Oh! And here." He put a pin on my uniform that was the same as Natsume. He kissed my forehead as Me, Natsume, and Ruka left. Ruka showed me to the girls dorm and this robotic woman took me to my room. It was huge. I was sleeping in Hotaru's room with Mikan before this. I put on my P.js on which were p.js Hotaru gave me and plopped on my knew bed. I closed my eyes as the dream world took me into it's arms.
