Some time ago there was a girl, locked up in a tower, her brown hair flowing by the wind that came through her window. Her hazel eyes looking in the distant, like they always did.

She was always alone, no one to be with her. her parents always busy, the maids also.

No one bothered to talk to her. she was the young mistress of the Yukihira's.

The mightiest of all, they had always been. Her name was Mikan. She was locked up because her powers, stronger than everyone, ready to destruct everything she disliked.

She hated her powers, she hated her life, everything around her in the tower, everything that kept her here. She wanted to go outside, to play with other children, but that wasn't possible.

Everyone wanted her blood, for it gave the absolute power. The forest always interested her, it was so mystic. She wondered which kind of creatures lived in it. were they just like her, or different. A genuine smile found his way on her face. Just when a maid came in. she saw and was taken in with the sight. The young mistress never smiled, always impassive, always alone, she pitied her. just like everyone else, except the girl's parents. They one cared for her safety, but they just didn't see how it killed her. made her broken, alone. Her hand went out and a bird landed on it. her eyes were warm, different than normally.

"tell me, how is it outside, what creatures live outside, are they like me or different?" the maid expected it to keep silent but it spoke. " It's different from here, trees and houses everywhere, people living in small stone buildings. Just like you, they look, but they are different, they don't have powers, they are stupid." The bird rose and disappeared. The maid looked with awe.

"Hello Mia, how was your day." The little girl asked.

Just a little girl, Her name known over the whole world. In the tower she kept perfecting her powers. The only which weren't were her future visions and her ….. (like I would tell you this one already good luck) She was alone, and she would always be, was what she thought anyways. With exemption of the birds, they were always with her. always, wherever she would go.

She was bored, bored to dead and had a vision.

A boy, the same age as her. walking by, his eyes where sad, an task on his shoulder which he hated. His mind unclear. Just like her. a full moon at the back ground. His blond hair illuminated by the light, his black eyes dimmed.

The next full moon was in 5 days, she would wait for him, read his goal. Probably, she wouldn't be alone, not anymore. The future could change, nothing was solid, it was based on our choices. The choices could lead to destruction of peace, hate or love, everything in the world. All is on choices and coincidence. But she, she never participated in it. her life wasn't a life. She looked like some believed the creator did. A glass bowl that showed her everything. The world everywhere. She could see every place change from the places she saw in others memories. Seeing how people destroyed and build new. Changing ever thing. She would always know, nothing was a real secret. Only hers and her fathers. Her father had a special gift, the power of nullification, a power to keep all other powers off.

She had it to, and all the other powers she had seen in her life. The name of these powers: Alice's.

Days passed and nothing changed, and then finally it came, the full moon shining on her. strengthening her powers, giving her another aura. There the boy walked, his shoulders hung.

She teleported out of her room. to the forest and walked towards him.

He just didn't notice her. he only thought of his hateful mission. To kill the king, Yukihira. The leader of the yami no Tsubasa: the wings of the dark. The name they had gotten. The hided in the dark, all birds where under their control, the dark wings of the karasu showing their arrival. The crows flying everywhere. Under their control. Hiding in the dark. Killing their victims without hesitation.

He felt something on his arm and saw a white hand. "who are you?" He didn't turn around.

"My name isn't important but your mission is, isn't it." he was stiff, how could anyone know of his mission. "What do you know about it, and are you friend or foe?" "Why do you need to kill the king, what have they done to offend your clan. The shisha no kakusa reta kage, of the hidden shadows of the dark." Now he was taken aback, just a selected few knew the name of their clan. They were literary the clan of the shadows. "Just who are you?" "I told you before, you don't need to know. Do you like your clan, do you really want to do it, kill the king yumi no Tsubasa."
"I don't want to, but I have to, or I will be killed." She kept silent. "You know, there always is a way out. Do you want to be part of our clan, the yumi no Tsubasa?" now he was sure that she was supposed to be a foe, but why didn't she act like one. She looked at him and smiled a little.

"I don't act like a foe because you aren't a real foe, the real foes are the ones that kill for pleasure or power, you want to kill to life." She was just herself, interacting with someone.

"Please grab my hand." He grabbed it and he felt his world turn. The next moment he looked down a tower, just to where he had just stood before. "This is my room, I'm always in here, I'm actually not allowed to go outside, they tell me that I'm too dangerous. Follow me." he was disturbed, she was dangerous, she didn't act or look dangerous, she seemed sweet, caring but lonely, just like what she told never allowed to get outside, it must be lonely. He followed her till she spoke again. "I was lonely, but I hope we can be friends, and you make the right decision." She knocked on the door and it opened slowly. There in the middle of the room stood two tables. A woman sat at one, working at a lot of papers. At the other sat a man, his eyes contained worry while he looked at the pictures and folders that lay on his table. Both looked up when the door opened. When they saw their daughter next to a stranger they stood up. Worry, fear and fury visible in their eyes.

"Who are you, and why are you with our daughter." He was shocked, this was the Yukihira princess.

The one who could destroy the world with one flick of her hand. "Father, mother, I have a request. Please speak with this person and decide whether he can stay here. If he goes back without killing you, dad, he will be killed by his clan. Onegai." Her eyes were puppy dogs for a moment and then she went impassive. "excuse moi." She went out and shut the door. After some time the door opened and the boy walked out of the room. he smiled a little. "I can stay, princess, but I'm going to be your personal servant, and I have to protect and be with you at all times." She didn't mind it.

"I'm glad for you, come on, let's play." Her smile was bigger and more beautiful than the one before.

He was enchanted by it. he let himself be dragged away by her and looked outside the window.

He knew that this scandal would soon be found out by his clan, which to his spite would turn out in a clan war. But at this moment he couldn't think of something like that, especially with this girl next to him that saved him. His eyes softened while looking at her.

"What are you thinking of?" she asked, and that while she probably already knew. "Don't you now it?" but she was too good of a person. "I only read your mind if you give me permission, and the mind of strangers when there is something wrong." He was thinking of telling the truth but knew she would be sad when he told. "It isn't important. But tell me your full name. please hime."

"watashi no namae wa (my name is) Mikan Azumi Yukihira. And don't call me hime, I'm your friend."

All the maids were awed, they saw an whole differnt side of their mistress, and all were glad to see it.

"My name is Akino hinato. It's a pleasure to meet you." He smiled at her.

"Hé I'm curious, what are your powers?" she didn't know what to tell, it is really realistic that you have all the powers that exist, but otherwise she would be lying, and would be worse. "I have all the Alice's that exist." He was serious shocked by this news, but yeah, who wouldn't .

"Can you handle them all?" she just smiled and looked outside the window before she replied. "I can use them perfectly , minus 2 or 3." He was shocked was that even possible. Using an Alice perfect at that age. But he knew that it was different, she never played before, always here inside, she must have done something against the boredom, he would probably do the same.

"Hé, let's play a game, any game you want." He suddenly said. He quickly looked down, embarrassed.

"Alright" She sent him another 1000 watt smile. "Let's play hide and seek." She was just a child, just like him. "But that's not fair, you can hide with your Alice's!" she giggled and talked back. "You can hide also with your Alice, so why complain?" he didn't know how to backfire at her. the only thing was that she could sense his presence and he couldn't. he looked at her and huffed. "Fine."

She giggled again and started to run. "You're first." he turned around and started to count.

"1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10 who isn't hidden is busted." He knew that it wasn't necessary, she already knew. He started to look for her but he couldn't find her, wherever he looked. After 30 minutes he gave up. "Please stop hiding, you're too good, I can't find you." he sighed and sat with his back against the wall. But then he realised it didn't feel like a wall.

He turned around and looked at the wall. "Mikan, if this is you, you can stop, I give up."

She stopped her hiding and looked at him. "Yeah, I've won." She jumped in joy and he couldn't help but snicker about it. she pouted at him. "Are you laughing at me." her eyes went big and he felt guilty. "I laughed because you looked so cute." Both blushed. "Sorry I said that." He said while looking away. Someway this girl made him say the things he thought. "You're not using an Alice on me, right now, right?" now she was the one chuckling. "No, why." She was grinning, and he didn't like it. "girl, don't get to big of yourself, I know you're good, but ya ain't the best." He stuck his tong at her. she made a pirouette and grabbed his hands and made him turn with her.

"Hé, what are you doing, let go!" he was nervous. "Alright, I'll let go. And when she let go he was slammed against the wall. "Don't kid with me." she smiled at him while he gaped. Who had thought she would do something like that. He defiantly not.

They were always together, playing talking. She never felt lonely with him at her side. He was her special someone. Her love. But he didn't know, he thought they were just friends.
