Gakuen Alice 21

Chapter 21
Because Iincho will be taking a brake in the afternoon from the illusions for the Haunted Mansion, they decided Mikan, Natsume and Ruka decide to ride a flying broom. They arrive at the senzai-kei area, Mikan starts to get excited allover again, but Natsume quickly reminds her with the chicken cookies that it’s because Ruka wanted to come that they are there. On their way they see Kokoroyomi pretending to be the mirror of truth, reading people’s minds. Boy:This guy says he’s got a girlfried, is it true?” Light haired boy:”I tell you it’s true!” Kokoroyomi:”This guy is a big fat liar” They arrive at the haunted mansion, some students coming out crying. They feel a huge gap betweens Iincho’s usual smiling face and what they see. Iincho is very happy to see MIkan came. MIkan then tells Natsume that she’s from the countryside so she’s used to dark places and will be alright. But quickly Mikan panics, scared. Screamin Natsume, Ruka-pyon don’t leave me!!! Ruka is a bit nervous but Natsume is not scared at all. Mikan extremely scared holds on tight to Ruka’s arm. Ruka blushes seeing Mikan being cute, Natsume is looking. They get ran after by an old lady because they ignored her asking them to carry her, Scared, they run and run…. MIkan is scared to death, Ruka’s Rabbit runs away scared, RUka runs after the rabbit. Natsume hurt his ankle and has trouble waling. He and mikan get closed up in a room. Iincho, tryiong with all his might to create scary things almost faints and makes a pillar fall on the levers and brakes a few which turnes the electricity off in the haunted mansion. The haunted mansion gets closed, and Ruka realizes that Mikan and Natsume are still stuck inside. Mikan asks Natsume to use fire and light up the room, Natsume takes out strange fire. Natsume tells MIkan that it’s her fault his ankle is hurt because she pushed him and ruka when she panicked when the wall pretended to fall down. He then scares her by lieing: Ah! the face and that wall moved….I think. MIkan crying, don’t scare me like that! Then Mikan remembers she wanted to appoligise about screaming at him for Anna’s pie. She says Ruka said he did it for them but Natsume just answers “what’s that about” Mikan. Completely forgetting her fear, starts to think about the fact that Natsume is really hard to talk to compared to Ruka and others. She gets lost in her thoughts about not hating natsume, not not having fun but….she just can’t find exactly how she feels when she is with him. She then realizes that during the whole fesyival, or since she’s arrived at school she has never seen Natsume enjoying himself. She remembers Perm’s older brother’s words: The kikennouryoku can’t take part of the festival. She tries to make him laugh by elling the not funny jokes the joke alice from her tokuryoku class said. Of course, since MIkan is not the joke alice it’s not funny. She starts argueing again with natsume because he calls her Pokadots and stupid, Mikan: How about thinking of a weay to remember people’s name mr. Nasty fox”. Natsume angry kicks Mikan and lifts her skirt. “Shut up, strawberry pattern” with Mikan’s screams, other students find them (trying to save them) Mikan over Natsume. Natsume: “Don’t attack me ‘cause noones looking, pervert!(sexually harassing). In the darkness it seemed as if Natsume smiled, but at the moment Mikan couldn’t care less.
