Chapter 1
Nobody remembers Mikan Sakura's existence. More likely she was removed from everyones memory, every student of the Gakuen Alice. And that also means that nobody remembered what happened that Thursday night, when she disappeared without leaving any trace.
Everything was very peaceful at the G.A, but even so. There's missing, it was their joyful smiles and laugher. Everything turned dull and not the same as before.
Hotaru and Permy was checking the Garden. Their in charge of the garden especially taking care of the Sakura tree. They don't know why but, they feel that they have to take care of it no matter what.
Even though she was completely removed from their memories. There are some things that her presence will appear out of nowhere.
"Hey, Hotaru where's the Idiot?" Permy talk out of nowhere which made Hotaru knot her eyebrows.
"Who's Idiot? Oi, are you referring me to an Idiot?" Hotaru ask with a deeply irritated tone as she put out her baka gun. Permy who immediately stoop back, she scratch the back of her head. She was wondering why she asked that. She was wondering who was she talking about anyway?
"N-No, no. It's just that...No it's nothing." Yes every time someone remembers about her presence it will be removed immediately. As if someone was controlling their memories.
The two of them went back at the office and wrote down the current condition of the Sakura Tree. Lately, the Sakura petals hasn't bloomed yet. It already took 2 months but still no changes.
They went up to their classroom which was the 'Star Section'. They opened the door and heard nothing but silence...Their homeroom teacher was late again.
"Hey...Permy, are we this quiet before?" She asked all of a sudden. Yes she has a point, this section was the noisiest section of all. But why did it turned out so dark and quiet? It was lively before, but now it turned dull and gloomy.
"Ah hah...I-I think so...?" She just replied, she can't answer it as they observe the classroom, their classmates was on their proper seats. No, whispering, no hissing, no shouting, no bad mouth talking.
The two of them just took a deep breath and headed to their seats. And just in time, their homeroom teacher arrived, "Gomen, gomen. I'm late again...Anyway you have a free time on the first period since Narumi-sensei has something to do." Their old homeroom teacher Narumi exclaimed as he waved and headed out the classroom.
S~I~L~E~N~C~E~~~
Everything was still silence as ever. No one from their class was cheering because they have a free time. Usually they scream out and starts to party and mess up the classroom, but now do you see the difference?
Hotaru unconsciously glance up at the seat near the window where Natsume Hyuuga was seating. She rolled her eyes, why did she looked at the top seat? Is she looking for someone?
The door slide open, which made all of their attention went there. And in the door they saw their senpai's which was Tsubasa Andou and Misaki Harada. Every time they have a free time, the both of them were assigned to guard them. But in their case the two of them entertain them.
But you can only here a little bit laugher and small smiles.
"Hey Natsume Hyuuga? Just to ask...Uhm...Is there someone seating beside you before?" Misaki ask which made Natsume looked at her with a questioning look.
"No, Nobody has sat beside me since middle school. Why?" He replied with his usual cold and arrogant voice.
"N-no, it's nothing. I just asked...Since I somehow...No never mind," Misaki tried to remember. And yes she knew that someone was sitting besides Natsume's seat. But she just can't tell who.
As the hour past, their next subject teacher who was Jinno-sensei arrived and the two of them went back to their classroom.
"Stand!"
"Bow!"
"Ohayougozaimasu." All of them greeted and bowed down. Jinno raise up his right hand which was a signal for them to seat down.
"Alright, do you have absent student?" Jinno ask as all of them looked at each other. One of them raised up his hand which was Yuu.
"Yes, Jinno-sensei we have one." He stood up and pointed towards Natsume.
"Who?" He ask back.
"Ale? Huh? Wait...It's..." He wondered why he pointed towards Natsume.
"Natsume? His right there. Are you alright Tobita? Do you have a fever, or did you just imagine something." Jinno observe as he saw that Natsume was there. So why did Yuu pointed at his direction?
Hotaru and Permy looked at each other. As they expected, everyone was acting weird and always talking about someone they don't know who.
As the lecture move on, time passed and it was already lunch time. And as always, Permy, Hotaru, Yuu, Anna, Koko, Ruka stayed and ate lunch together. They may be separated in seating arrangements but, every lunch they eat together.
Natsume sometimes join in, and right now he just arrived. He went to his own seat and opened up the lunch box.
"Hey, hey guys. You know what? I've been acting strangely lately, somehow I'm referring to someone but, I don't know who she/he is...Don't you find it weird?" Yuu said as he stuffed the sushi on his mouth.
"Me and Hotaru is like that too...This morning, I ask something whom I can't explain who am I talking to. Ne are you the same Natsume-kun?" Permy is the same as always, whenever she talks to Natsume her eyes turned into heart shape.
"Hn," All he replied, there might be changes around but, the 7 of them are the same as usual. The same characteristics and the same personalities. That their the only ones who noticed that something weird was going on. But they just can't point it out.
The seven of them looked up at the bright blue sky..."Something is definitely wrong, somehow...Somethings missing..." They thought in sync. Yes they were right, something is missing and that is Mikan Sakura.
