I don't own Gakuen Alice
Natsume POV
I walked to the cherry-blossom tree, my place to relax and where I met Polka dots. As I got closer, I could hear soft sobbing. She came into view and I could not stop myself from speeding up, and kneeling in front of her to hug her, strong yet softly too afraid to break her. Not a second afterward did she push me back and I caught a glimpse of her face, it was full of pain, regret, unbearable sadness. I took ahold of her teary face and asked her what was making her so miserable, but she ignored him and stood up. She turned her back to me, hiding her face and her eyes.
''Natsume…." She said. You could hear her heart break slowly. "I….I'm truly…sorry. Please, forgive…." I was nervous; I have never known how to deal with the tears of a female, worse when it was Mikan's.
''For what…..Polka?" I replied, trying to hide my worry. Then out of the blue she turned and she kissed me. I was in shock…. I would never in a million years had I imagined her to initiate intimacy, but I quickly recovered myself fast enough to notice that the kiss was taking something from me, I ignored it and kissed her back., we broke the kiss for air. We kissed once more and it worried me because it felt like a goodbye kiss. I opened my eyes and noticed that she had not stopped crying, for some reason it annoyed the hell out of me. She's supposed to enjoy kissing me; I should be able to take her unhappiness away.
''Please, Mikan, tell me what's going on. What happened to make you cry?'' I asked this time not bothering to hide my worry.
''Natsume… you have to know that… I…. love you today and forever and ever and ever no matter what, but please understand….. you deserve…. more than this girl '' she said pointing to herself. A sad smile graced her tear-stained face.
''Don't give me that bullshit….. I love you and you know I will only lo-'' she put a finger on my lips and smiled a beautiful painful smile. Her hair was down and blowing softly with the wind. I carved that image into my mind. I never want to let her go; I want to protect her from all the evil in this world. I want to hold her and put an end to all her fears.
''Natsume….. I won't be seeing you again, but I will always love you, but I want you to, no you have to move on! Okay? You'll no longer have to concern yourself with missions.''
It sounded more like a statement then a question to me. Then I realized that she said she wouldn't be seeing me again
"What the hell…..do you mean!?" I yelled. I cannot accept this! I can't control my angry.
I fell in love with her, her smiles, her laugh, her innocence, even her stupidity! Why the hell is she saying that I won't be seeing her again! Is she going to leave?… No, I won't allow her to leave!
"I won't let you go! You're mine!" I feel the tears gathering in my eyes, but I won't let them fall because I was going to let her leave. As I moved to grab her, to hold her, to prove that she wouldn't leave, she smiled and waved. I closed my arms around her, only to fall onto my knees weak and alone…..tears making their way down my face.
"Mikan!" I didn't bother to stop my flowing tears. I felt all hundred blades pierce my heart, mercilessly. Something inside me knew that her words were true. It hurt I've lost too many people and when I start to have my happiness it all just escapes between my fingers.
-Time Skip
I was sent on a mission, simply and normal. It helped relieve some stress. It's been two full days since Mikan said goodbye, and I can't seem to stop looking for her. Everywhere, the forest is the most common place I end or the cherry-blossom tree.
After the mission Persona told me that it was my 'last one'.
Flash back-
"You'll no longer have to concern yourself with missions.'' That was what Mikan had told me. I immediately asked him about Mikan, but he only said
"She not coming back any time soon" and disappeared. Then I noticed that I hadn't cough or felt pain from overuse since….. Mikan left me.
-Next day
I woke up in cold sweat, something common nowadays. I took a shower to clean myself off. As I open my door I see Imai, Ruka, Koko, Nonoko, Anna, Kitsu, Sumire, and Yuu.
''Hyuuga!'' Imai shoved me into my room and sat me on a chair put some kind of needle-thing in my arm and did god knows what, then moved to do something in her computer.
''Stupid Hyuuga, Mikan has disappeared and you do nothing? The ESP said we should forget about Mikan. And we might never see her again, even if she doesn't dies. Then he muttered something about how she helped you but made things worse for her. So, I came here to see any physical changes, and your Alice type has been removed. Meaning Mikan might have traded her Alice type with yours!'' She was showing emotion…. But I understood that Mikan might die because of me…
