Twisting Time

        "You can sit wherever you like. I have to go report to my superiors regarding your enrollment. Well, Mikan and Emiko, Please wait here with him for a while." The trio went into Narumi's Office... The room was slightly too fancy to be called an office at all really. Once he left, there was a long silence in Narumi's office.

         Mikan looked at the black haired boy that fainted. "Who is that?"

         "Natsume Hyuuga." Emiko shrugged, looking at the sleeping Natsume. Before Mikan knew it, she picked up the mask.

         "NARUMI!! ARE YOU THE ONE WHO STOLE THE GROWING WHIP SEED FROM THE GREENHOUSE!?" A man shouted loudly as he opened the door in the same manner, making Mikan scream in terror. "...Oh. I'm sorry for surprising you. Are you two the prospective students that Narumi brought?" Mikan nodded, still on the ground. "Sorry for interrupting you-" Mikan grabbed him so he wouldn't leave just yet. The biology teacher introduced himself as Misaki, listening to Mikan.

          "...So you're saying, you're really doubtful whether you can trust Mr. Narumi or not?" She squawked, assuming that it's a yes, and explained about the bean whip incident.

          "I see... Why did he do that in front of a commoner...? Well calm down a little.." Mikan listened by laying back-flat on the floor. If anyone knows yoga... it was the Death yoga pose.

          "From what I gather, I think Narumi took such measures to save Natsume." She sat up immediately in confusion. "He may seem like a pervert, and is often mistaken for one, but don't worry, the teacher who realized both of your powers isn't a bad guy... By the way, do you both know what your Alices are?" Mikan shook her head as Emiko nodded. "..."

           "Oh! I forgot to ask what Mr. Narumi's Alice is!"

           "Pheromonal Inclination." Misaki and Emiko stated in synch, with Misaki looking at Emiko in slight bewilderment, wondering if her Alice is mind-reading. "It's probably easy to guess though..." Misaki hoped it wasn't another mind-reading alice user.

           When he explained to Mikan what that was, he passed tea to Emiko, who put a sugar cube in it. She muttered a thank you and sipped as the pig-tailed brunette had said mostly incoherent topics.

            He was finally interrupted by the alarm saying a intruder was in the greenhouse. "I'm sorry! There's an emergency so I must leave. Ah, you!" He called in Emiko's direction. "I'm going to send someone over here soon. So if Natsume wakes up before anyone comes, press that emergency button immediately! You must do it." He left soon after finishing his statement. Emiko halfheartedly muttered something incoherent, taking out a book from her pocket and started writing.

            Approximately three minutes later, she heard Mikan scream. Sighing silently, she crossed her leg on the other, setting the book down. The first thing she saw was Natsume demanding who Mikan was and her Alice, his hand around her neck and a leg to her torso.

           "Emiii... Save meeee!!" Mikan begged.

           "Save yourself." A loud crash came from Narumi's window. It's a pity for the person who would have to fix that stuff up. Then again, a blonde who crashed through the window was pretty sick.

            "...You're late, Ruka."

            "Geez..." Ruka grumbled other incoherent words of pain. "Whose fault do you think it is, Natsume?" He dusted himself, miraculously not bleeding from the glass, as Mikan just stared in shock and he realized she was there. "What are you doing...?"

             "She was here when I woke up. She refuses to reveal her identity.. Dunno about her though." Natsume pointed towards Emiko. Something annoying was nagging at the back of his mind, and he wanted it to stop, so his head wouldn't be so hazy... He inwardly cursed at Narumi for his alice. Before he knew it, he heard the door swung open violently to show Narumi and Misaki running in.
