Mind Your Limits || Shinsou Hitoshi ||

Chapter 8: The Black Cat

"Did you hear about Reo?" Some kid said.

"Reo? Isn't he that celebrity that graduated from the school?"

"I heard that he's visiting our school for the Alice Festival."

A dramatic gasp came from the person, "Really?"

Mikan looked at Shinsou, "Do you know who Reo is?"

Shinsou shook his head, "Not one bit."

"How do you not know who Reo is?" Syōda asked, "He's a really famous celebrity that graduated from here!"

"I lived in a rather isolated town," Shinsou said.

"Oh, me too!" Mikan exclaimed.

"No wonder you don't know about him," Kokoroyomi said, "Well his full name is Reo Mouri, and like everyone said he graduated from here. He has an Alice, but no one in the Academy remembers what it was."

"He sounds mysterious," Mikan said, "That's weird. What do you think his Alice is?"

"I mean, he's a celebrity so it might be a pheromone Alice."

Hitoshi zoned out of the conversation from there. His violet eyes scanned the classroom, accounting for every person in the room except Natsume. That's weird... Natsume does skip class, Hitoshi knows that, but he barely does anything without Ruka. Ruka's still here. "What happened to Hyuuga?"

"Natsume-kun?" Mikan asked as she looked around, "Oh he isn't here."

"He's in the hospital because he overworked himself," Ruka said.

Shinsou's concern shot through the roof, "He's hospitalized?"

"Yeah."

"I didn't know he was in the hospital! We should go see him," Mikan said, "What overworked him?"

The room went dead silent at that. Hitoshi along with them.

"Anyway," Syoda broke the silence, "Ruka and I are leaving to visit Natsume."

"Can we come?" Mikan asked.

Syoda automatically shut her down, "No. We're Natsume's special friends."

"What?"

Reo stepped onto the campus of Alice Academy, a smirk laced on his features. "It's been such a long time since I was trapped on this campus."

"We need to get to Natsume," Ruka said to Syoda, "There's no time to gawk at Reo."

"Right, Natsume, I hope he's okay," Syoda said.

"What happened to Natsume-kun?" Reo asked them, a kind smile now replaced the smirk.

"Oh, he's in the hospital after getting an injury from gym," Syoda replied.

"That's sad," Reo said, "I should pay him a visit later." The Black Cat shall be mine...

However, the two students he was talking to were long gone.

"We need to visit Natsume in the hospital and make sure he's okay!" Mikan said firmly, "What if he's not? We need to make sure!"

"Yeah!" Nonoko agreed.

"But how are we going to get there?" Anna asked.
