Ok, I HAD to get this out. The idea for this fic has been bugging me for weeks. Now the whole premise here is that Natsuki wakes up from a coma and everyone tells her that her past life (her HiME life) was a delusion brought on by said coma. Don't freak out on me yet, it's Shiznat. They meet up in this reality to. This is just the intro; longer chapters are coming up soon.

One last thing, my usual beta/co-author/hoe DubhRi hasn't come up for a visit in a while so I probably messed this up pretty bad! Just a warning...

Aww I'm useless with out that boy :)

Haha

Where am I?

"God! She's waking up!"

What? Waking up?

"Ryuu! Maya! Get in here!"

Who…are they?

Emerald eyes opened slowly, Natsuki was drowning in confusion. Immense, white light immediately consumed her vision. It felt as though she had been blinded and was taking her first steps towards re-obtaining precious sight. Grey blurs rushed around her, each accompanied with unfamiliar voices. Voices filled with excitement, joy, and fearful disbelief. Natsuki sat up, leaning on her shoulders for support, and surveyed her surroundings. Two young children, who appeared to be about eight or nine respectively, knelt at Natsuki's bedside. The elder looking was a boy with midnight sapphire tresses and matching ocean eyes. The small girl at his left gazed up at Natsuki with deep, emerald green eyes. Before she had the chance to speak and demand to know what in the hell was going on, a tall, muscular man leapt at Natsuki. He held her tightly against his chest. Natsuki was much to shocked to move. Her eyes widened and she began to twitch ferociously.

"Oh thank god! I-I had started to loose hope…But your awake!" The man stuttered, his body trembling.

"Who-Who the hell are you?!" Natsuki roared, regaining her composer and shoving the now crying man off of her, "And why are you acting like you know me?!"

The room grew eerily silent at Natsuki's harsh words. A doctor stood beside the wide door frame, heaving a heavy sigh. It was at that moment Natsuki realized she was lying in the cold, uncomfortable bed of a hospital. But she had absolutely no memory as to how she managed to become hospitalized. Did my bike crash? Maybe, well it's still strange, but perhaps these people found me? No, there's no way some random man would be bawling and hugging me if that were the case.

"Natsuki Tanaka-san, do you have any recollection as to how you arrived here and why?" The doctor asked sadly. When Natsuki shook her head he let out another sigh and stared down at the children. "Do you have any idea who these people are?" he questioned. Natsuki grit her teeth angrily, she was done with all of this idiotic bullshit. "No! I don't know who these people are, I don't know how I fucking got here, and I'd also like to know why the hell you're calling me 'Tanaka-san'! It's Kuga!" Natsuki swung out of the bed and stomped towards the man in white. She stood close to his face, shoving her index finger into his gut.

"Then it's just as I suspected," He began, ignoring the fury in Natsuki's tone, "Amnesia."

The word itself stung Natsuki and she stumbled backward. The man who had been crying earlier let out a strangled sob. "A-Amnesia?" She can't remember us?" he whispered in grief. Natsuki possessed a look of pure horror as she whirled around, only to find a tall mirror and her reflection staring back at her. What she saw though caused her heart to stop mid-beat. The Natsuki she saw couldn't have possibly been her! There was no way! For the woman in the mirror was, older. Much older. She appeared to be at least 30 or 40. Her reflection was much more defined with longer sapphire hair, and matured figure. Though she was as slim as ever, Natsuki had lost a lot of her muscle mass.

This…is…a…dream. It has to be!

"Natsuki, you may not remember them, but, this is your family." The white coat's voice was barely registered by her, "You have been in a coma for several months." The man, tears still fresh in his eyes, returned to Natsuki's side. "Yes Natsuki-chan, I- I'm your husband, and these," He pointed to the boy and girl, "Are your children, Ryuu and Maya."

No. This can't be happening.

Natsuki froze and fell to the floor, her mouth hanging open in bewilderment. Ryuu stepped forward, kneeling down to place a hand on his mother's shoulder. Maya fled to her father's embrace, bawling onto his chest. "Oh mom…" the boy muttered softly. Natsuki fell forward, loosing consciousness as she hit the linoleum floor. As all sound, light, and feeling fled her; one name flared brightly in her mind.

Shizuru.
