This is a twist to the ending of Gakuen Alice. My suggestion is that you finish reading Gakuen Alice, to be able to fully enjoy this story.

PREVIEW

Suddenly, there was a fire and the kidnappers fell to the ground as if in a deep slumber.

'Oh my god! What's going on? Thank god these people are unable to move, but how did this happen? How did they fall asleep? Wait a minute, are these the assassins that Sensei Gori was talking about?' Mikan thought.

She heard a muffled scream and immediately turned her attention to Sachan who managed to escape and ran up to the nearby shops to get help. Then, Mikan turned to Saichan who was struggled for a moment, but then in a blink of an eye both men, who were holding her by her wrist, were knocked out.

'How?!' thought Mikan

Two more came at Saichan, but she easily dodged them and sent them flying into the sea. Mikan quickly overcame her shock as she saw men surrounding her.

"They're after you, Mikan! Run!" screamed Saichan

Suddenly there was a sea of fire, a gentle soothing one, and in a flash every man was down. She was hauled off her feet when a hand grabbed her by someone (Natsume) who grabbed her tightly and hugged her in a way that prevented her from escaping.

"Hmm... looks like they haven't gotten any bigger" said Natsume, squeezing her chest.

"Aaaahh…...!" Mikan screamed. "Someone save me! I am being attacked by a pervert!"

Ruca and Narumi joined them.

"I am being attacked by a bunch of perverts!" screamed Mikan after changing her mind.

"What is she saying?" Natsume asked Tsubasa, who came down to the beach.

"It's because of your behavior towards her earlier, Natsume." Tsubasa answered.

Natsume let her go and all four of them crowded her.

"Natsume, I told you not to frighten her. Instead, you've made her cry!" Narumi said while examining Mikan up close.

"Sakura, I've wanted to meet you so badly! Do you remember me?!" asked Ruca excitedly.

Mikan shivered uncomfortably while they inspected her.

'Is he supposed to be a prince, sparkling like that? Why don't these people understand that I am not interested in being kidnapped.' Mikan thought while looking at Ruca.

"Mikan we are the people that are lost in your memories, we have come to take you back. Those are the orders from your uncle to us." Tsubasa said calmly and soothingly towards Mikan.

"Those are sugar coated words that kidnappers say. Don't you take me for a fool I'm not going anywhere with you." Mikan said shaking slightly.

Then she got up and brushed her clothes as if she didn't even have the least of worries, and appeared completely calm. But, just after walking 5 steps, she broke into a run.

"Don't you think for a moment that you can get away from me! Just how long! Just how long do you think I have been searching for you? Do you even know how scared I was at the moment when I woke up and realized that you were gone?! I've missed you so much! How can you think I will let you go now?" Natsume said.

He hugged her tightly as he jumped in front of her and yanked her off her feet. Mikan felt what she had been craving for, the feeling of being loved by someone.

'It feels as if he is the source to recovering my lost memories. It feels as if I have loved him all my lifetime. I can't even pull myself away from him. Wait, what is that flickering in his pocket?' She thought, eyeing his pocket where the stone lay flickering.

Natsume reached in his pocket to pull out the stone, just as he was about to….
