Chapter 1 (Reunion)

In the middle of the forest that looks awfully daunting, engulfed by the sinister darkness of the night, rustling wind, moving branches and running water can be heard. In the biggest tree that can be found in the forest, a certain heavy breathing can be heard. As the dark clouds that covered the moon were shooed by the angry wind, the moon lighted the darkness that hides the only being in the forest. A boy was seen leaning in the tree's trunk. His hair is raven that shines in the face of the vapid light of the moon. His body is painted in blood. Wounds are seen all over his glass like but muscular body. He tore a piece of his sleeve and sealed his wounded knees, then rested his back on the tree's body. After a minute of the killing silence, soft footsteps can be heard. The footsteps stopped.

"Were you able to retrieve it?" said a nearly six feet man, covered in dead black clothing and silver accessories. His face is covered with a lifeless coloured mask. "Natsume…"

The raven haired boy reaches for his pocket and throws a crimson dyed stone to the man in black. The man catches it with the slightest effort.

"Good work" he said and was about to leave but stopped. "And by the way, Take care of yourself next time."

Natsume smirked "How rare of you to care."

The man turn his back and walked away without a sound "Not really, because it will be troublesome if you die." Then banish in the darkness.

Natsume stood up supporting his left arm. "Troublesome huh, that's very fitting for a tool like me..." He then walked away to the opposite side arriving in front of a glamorous looking building. He then jumps to third floor entering a big wooden window. He landed to the floor without a sound. He saw his reflection in the nearby mirror and stare at his wounds then to his eyes. He stared at it for some time, examining the lines that are forming under his eyes the black circular shadow beneath and his dull looking crimson orbs. Since when did my eyes become dead?

He averted his eyes from the reflection and went to his bed. He laid his dead beat body and closed his eyes. I was not like this before, I used to have a determined firing eyes. Since when did my eyes become so unsightly? It's like… yes… it was like the eyes of the girl before, the eyes that keeps hunting me even in my dreams. Before I knew it I came to have the same dead eyes.

Flash back:

In a small village, where the sky is painted with firing red and orange, a little boy with raven hair is seen walking. He looks like he's about 5 years old. His eyes are red from crying. He went to his favourite tree that used to be painted in sparkling pink but now it looks so lifeless, the petals that use to look so dazzling are all gone. All that is left is its dead body, where he found a girl. She has a long black hair dancing with the wind, her bangs are cut strait neatly, she has white silky skin and a cherry coloured lips. She appears to be 13 years old.

Natsume watched the girl with interest for a while. I wonder why, she looks so beautiful but I feel like there's something wrong about her, a very sad feeling. He came back to his senses when he noticed the deep wound in her right arm. He went to the girl and look at her eyes the girl also looks at him.

"Do you want me to bandage your arm?" he said still looking at her eyes. "Don't be so nosy brat." She said without emotion. Ah, I see… it's her eyes that look so wrong. It looks so lifeless and awful. He kneeled down and reached a bandage in his pocket and wrapped her arm with it. The girl just looked at him "you're so stubborn" she said.

"Look who's talking, anyway, what the hell happened to you. Were you attacked by some animal or what?" he asked sitting beside her.

"Not animal, a human." She said looking at the sunet.

"Why would a human attack you?" he asked staring at her.

She looked at him. "How about you? why are you crying?" Natsume looked away "what are you talking about, a man wouldn't cry!" he protested.

The girl giggled. "You were crying right? It's obvious. Don't worry I won't tell it to anyone." She said. Natsume looked at her with doubt. "Do you promise you won't tell?" he asked. She patted his head and smiled at him "I won't" he smiled. "Cross your heart first." She laugh again and then crossed her heart.

"It's because everyone hates me" he started.

"Why do you think that?" she asked.

"Everyone says that I'm weird because I can make fire, they said that I'm a monster and I bring bad luck in this village. Okaa-san said that it's better if I was not born. Maybe she's right. My very existence is a sin itself" he said looking down.

"That's not true" she said looking at him. "How can you say that?" he replied without looking up. She held his small hand. Natsume looked at her. She smiled "Because I'm this happy when I met you." He also smiled at her. She said she's happy, I'm being accepted

"What's your name onee-san?" he asked looking at her hazel eyes. "Mikan… sakura Mikan."

"Onii-chan!" shouted a younger girl who looks similar to Natsume. "I'm here Aoi!" he shouted back. "Well onee-san I'm going home, nice meeti…" as he turned around, the girl banished.

End of flash back.

After that I always went under the tree waiting for her but she never came. I waited until that tree was burned to ashes including my heart. He closed his eyes and waited for another tiring morning to come.

The sun has rise lighting every dark corner in Alice academy, the school of young children with unique and special abilities. The forest that is engulfed with darkness is now painted with colours. The killing silence is replaced by the chirping of birds. Everything is peaceful.

Class 2b

Everyone was doing their own work when the two most popular student came Natsume, with his hand on his pocket, Ruka, natsume's best friend with his rabbit, were greeted by the squealing fan girls. Both ignored them.

The class started and their bizarre teacher narumi was talking about a new student or something everyone is excited except for some students and Natsume who's starring outside the window. Thinking about he's next mission but he's thoughts were averted when…

"Everyone say hello to your new classmate" said their flashy teacher.

A girl with long brunette hair hazel orbs, silky skin and cherry coloured lips entered the room. Everyone was silent astonished by the beauty of the new student. Natsume's eyes widened.

"This is Mikan sakura" said their teacher. Everyone started asking random question at the same time but she ignored them and went to natsume's place everyone stared at the two shocked.

Natsume gazed at her emotionlessly. "Why…" he began. "Why are you not aging?"

She smiled at him "Is that how you greet a friend who you haven't seen for nine years?"

A single tear fell on natsume's still emotionless eyes. "I wanted to see you" he said in monotone. Mikan smiled at him.
