Only You

Chapter 01

It was a good thing she has a nullifying alice.

Screams filled the air, which smelled of burning flesh.

Everywhere she turned, flames engulfed everything in their path mercilessly, as if determined to turn every single thing to ash. It spread and cackled with a life of its own.

Curiously though… She felt light and cool, as if the place around her wasn't actually burning. She felt none of the heat of the fire surrounding her.

People around her, on the other hand, were running and fleeing. They seemed to be running everywhere, as if there is nowhere they could escape to. Panic was evident in their faces.

She then heard a woman cry out in agony.

She turned around and saw a little girl, dead. The little girl was pinned down by an electric post that had been knocked down by the impact of a truck. The woman rocked back and forth, caressing her baby's head, and cried.

But before she can do anything, she heard a voice.

"You see what he did?"

Reo.

"HE did this. He KILLED them all, and you know that. You know that he is capable of doing such things."

Mikan's eyes widened.

"NO!" Mikan cried, abruptly sitting up with her arms outstretched reaching for something unseen.

Her breath came in heavy gasps as she felt her heart pound within her.

No… NO. She wouldn't believe it. She refused to believe it.

Shutting her eyes, Mikan shook her head as if to knock the nightmare out of it.

She jumped, startled as her alarm clock went off.

WAKE UP IDIOT! WAKE UP IDIOT! WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP!

She didn't realize she actually woke up before it rang. Mikan grinned. Wait until she tells Hotaru! She actually woke up before the annoying alarm clock went off!

Humming cheerfully, her nightmare forgotten, Mikan went and got ready for class.

"Oh Hotaruuuu!" Mikan called, as she skipped towards her best friend, with arms stretched out preparing to hug her. "You'll never guess what happened this mo-"

"Get away from me." Hotaru said, as she slipped her Idiot Gun back into her pocket.

Mikan, from the sudden impact of the gun, was thrown back to the wall beside the door and rubbing her head, she said "You're so mean! Why do you always hit me with that gun of yours?" She threw a glare at Hotaru who only stared at her unemotionally.

As Mikan was just standing up, the door suddenly banged open, hitting Mikan who fell backwards.

Natsume and Ruka walked in.

"Oh Mikan! Are you okay?" Yuu rushed to Mikan.

Mikan, disoriented because of the sudden shift of gravity on her head, was dizzy. "huh? Whaaa-?"

Noticing Mikan on the floor, Natsume smirked, and walked on to his desk.

They were answering a math problem when a crumpled piece of paper landed on Mikan's desk. Startled, Mikan discreetly looked around and, finding that her classmates seemed to be concentrating hard on their work, she opened the paper.

Switched to teddy-bears now have we?

Mikan frowned. Teddy-bears? Wha-? Then at the sudden realization, Mikan blushed furiously and abruptly turned around.

At first glance, Natsume seemed to be concentrating hard on his workbook, but at a closer look, one could see the corner of his mouth twisting up into a very slight smirk.

Mikan wrote back a furious reply.

Pervert.

Natsume's smirk only grew wider.
