A Tear Left Behind
"Mikan! Abunai!"
A blaze of fire flew across Mikan's eyes.
----
Alice Academy
After witnessing her parent's tragedy and her father's death, Mikan was left crying with Natsume's hand tightly gripping hers while she traveled back to the present time. Once Nodachi-sensei brought them back along with Tsubasa and the others, Mikan came face to face with her mom, Yuka, and was to decide whether she would leave Alice Academy or not.
"Mikan…" Nodachi and the others watched as Mikan's tears hit the floor and her head lowered.
"D..da..dad.."
"...Mikan…will you come live with me out of this academy...?" Mikan glanced up at her mother's worried face.
"Mom… you big dummy.." Mikan gritted her teeth and ran to her mom to hug her. Tears strolled down Yuka's own face as she held her daughter tightly in her arms.
"…." Natsume and the others watched from afar.

Mikan :I know I should go but… I don't want to leave them behind…. My friends… My teachers…. Natsume… Hotaru… Was this all for nothing..? Dad's gone…. Mom's here… Should I go? Or shouldn't I? Dad… Dad… Dad…. D..ad
Tears continued to stroll down Mikan's cheek.
Yuka: Please Mikan… I don't want the same mistake to happen again…
"The decision needs to be made now. We can't delay or else the Elementary School Principal will figure out what we're planning." The High School Principal was looking at Mikan with a stern face.
Mikan still recalled the time Natsume held her in his arms telling her not to look at her father's corpse. She had lost the warmth from the tears that flowed. Was she going to live with her mom outside of Gakuen Alice? Leave Hotaru, Natsume, and the others…? Mikan couldn't decide…
Natsume stared at Mikan's face which was full of confusion. The Mikan who was always smiling and cheerful.
Mikan remembered what Hotaru had said to her, that her face was 10x more ugly when she cried. She tried to wipe away the tears, but the image of her father's corpse kept them flowing.
"...Mikan…" Suddenly the High School Principle jerked. Now..? Already?! He pushed Mikan and Yuka towards the door.
"Go! Now! There's no time! Jinno! Narumi! Help them out! Open the gates!!" The High School Principle yelled.
Natsume turned around in alarm only to find Persona standing in front of him, looming over him, however he wasn't looking at Natsume, but Nobara. Natsume glanced over not only to find Mikan and Yuka gone with Jinno and Narumi, but Nobara with tearful eyes looking up at Persona as well. Behind Persona was Luna, standing at the Elementary School Principal's side.
"My alice… Give It Back…!" Luna's eyes were wide in anger. The Elementary School Principal's glare met with the High School Prinicpal's own glare.
