Chapter 1: The Return
-
It was already past noon. Three teenagers were approaching the academy gates; two of them were girls and one was a guy.
The girls were about fourteen years-old, one had silky black hair with chestnut brown highlights and it reached about two inches below her shoulder. The other had luscious brown locks that fell a few inches above her waist and hazel eyes. The guy seemed like he was a year older than the girls; he had silver hair and dazzling sapphire blue eyes.
"Hmph. So this is the so-called academy huh? Doesn't look like much..." The guy said, unimpressed.
"I know it doesn't, but Akira-kun, I assure you, this is a really advanced school," the brunette said. She then showed a semi-smile, then it turned into a frown.
"Mikan-chan..." The other girl whispered.
"Don't worry, I'm alright Ayu," she said. But in her eyes you could see anger and sadness welling up.

Flashback
About Four Years Ago...

"Natsume! Hi!" A cheery Mikan greeted the black cat under the Sakura tree.
He ignored her.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Still no reply.
"Natsume, do you hate me?" she asked out of nowhere. She said it jokingly but deep inside she was really serious. Lately, she's been having a lot of thoughts on her mind, and it's been making her think about certain matters over and over again. She's been stressing out and even became somewhat of an insomniac, but she didn't want her beloved friends to worry, so she tried her best to act normal in front of them. Surprisingly, her acting skills weren't too bad at all. Especially when she was serious about things.
"Come here," Natsume whispered.
As soon as her hair was in his palm's range, he set it on fire.
"Of course I do. Why do you think I always ignore you, huh?! Leave me alone you idiot! How many times do I have to repeat myself?!" It started out as a whisper but then his voice became louder and yet he still managed to stay it calmly. Then he slightly shoved Mikan. He's also been having a rough time. Persona. Threats. Worries. He couldn't decide whether to make Mikan stay with him or stay away from him for her own safety.
"I'm sorry... I promise I won't bother you anymore.. Hyuuga-san," she said, trying to prevent her tears from coming out.
What? Hyuuga-san? Where did that come from?He thought and also just noticed Mikan's tears. He was about to run after Mikan but she was nowhere to be seen. So instead he sighed and sat down under the sakura tree and sighed, thinking about Mikan... She'll be back to her normal cheery self by tomorrow.
He didn't know how wrong he was.

End of Flashback

They arrived at the front of the academy gates.
"Mikan! Mikan!" Ayu shook her lightly.
"Huh?" she said as she snapped back into reality. "Oh, did I space out again? I'm sorry. Let's go in now, shall we?"
The other two just nodded.
"Open the gates." Akira ordered calmly.
The guard saw how dangerous he looked but managed to ask "What's your business here?"
"None of your business apparently. But if you don't want us in then it's your loss, not ours," Akira replied smoothly.
"No! Please don't go sir! I'm very sorry!!" The guard apologized frantically, regretting what he said, because they looked like they had important business at the academy and the guard was afraid of what the higher ups might do to him: fire him, or other unspeakable things.
"Hmph, whatever and just let us in. We MIGHT let this pass." Akira replied in an annoyed tone; but the girls knew he was having fun torturing the guard. Besides, he wanted to get in since his precious Mikan was really looking forward to going back to the academy. So they went in and walked towards the headmaster's or in fact who ever's office to get admission to the academy.
Meanwhile, Narumi was passing the front gate and saw the "new" students enter.
His eyes grew big and he became very surprised at what--or rather who he saw.
"Mikan-chan?!"
