I have always loved the girl that went by the name of Mikan Sakura and the thought of her disappearing from my world has always been a fear of mine that I have never let come true. Every time I see her I want to wrap my arms around her in a never ending hug, but I never did. I tried to reveal my feelings to her in my actions but she never understood. Her actions always confused me, and her smile always dumfounded me, she was my priceless angel.

The day they took her away from me, we were gathered in the High School Principals office. I kept looking at her from the corner of my eye, I knew something was wrong. Her smile was replaced with a worried frown and her sparkling hazel eyes were replaced with dull, unhappy ones. As the Principal walked in I repositioned my self so I was facing him instead of just part of my body. He pinched the bridge of his nose before looking at Mikan with the sad smile of bad news.

"She is going to be taking you away from here Mikan, this is for your own benefit." I expected her to look at Hotaru first with tears glistening in her eyes, but when she looked at me with that same look and even more sadness I felt my heart break. Our eyes met and I made the worst mistake, I looked away. I couldn't be in the same room any longer, I was losing my perfect composure. I ran down the hallway as fast as I could, avoiding any roaming High School Student. As my feet carried me across the entrance, I heard her voice scream out.

"Natsume!!!" That was the last time I heard her voice. I felt the hole ripping at my heart, if I didn't forget her the dulled lightness would seep in and ruin me. So I patched up the hole in my heart and I tried to forget.

"Natsume?" Ignoring the green haired girl was something I was good at, for she repeatedly came up and tried to talk to me.

"Natsume? Please talk to us, You haven't said a complete sentence in years!!" You would think she would get the hint by now, but no. This would continue on till the day I no longer was forced to stay here, but who was I kidding, the day I would be free from this place I would be dead. Ruka sighed as he put his hand on my shoulder, he knew I needed to be left alone.

"Sumire, I think it would be good if no one bothered Natsume today." She looked at Ruka and back at me and smiled. If I wasn't going to give her attention, then she would turn to Ruka, it was inevitable. I looked at him and silently gave him my thanks and exited the classroom.

Being alone was something that rarely came around anymore. Ever since… she left. I have been taking more and more missions hoping that maybe I would catch a glimpse of her, but it never worked out that way. There was no reason why I should hope, it was futile.

As I rounded the corner I spotted Hotaru talking with a very worried Inchou. Nothing unusual except for the fact that Hotaru, the coldest person in the school, was looking worried and depressed. This was something I had to hear, for if it made her look like that, something was obviously wrong. I came up to them and got a very murderous looking glare from Hotaru. Not good. I ducked before I could be hit by the Baka Cannon, apparently the Baka Gun wasn't good enough.

"Go away Hyuuga. This does not concern you." She hasn't changed a bit, even though we were both in high school now.

"I say it does, now what's wrong before I have to burn it out of you." Inchou cringed as Hotaru glared at me.

"There were some clues leading to where Mikan is." Inchou squeaked. My eyes got wider as I took in Hotaru's worried look.

"Good or bad clues?" She sighed, and pointed the Baka Cannon at me.

"Bad." And the darkness swirled around me.
