Summary: Mikan decided to stay with Natsume even though she has to undergo missions. Can Mikan survive the darkness?

Chapter 1 – Choice

"I'm saying right now that I really want to stay inside the academy, I won't abandon my friends for my safety. So what if I have to do missions, I don't care, I want to protect them. Specially Natsume. If I have to fight to the Zero or Anti Alice or whoever it is that is against the academy even you my mother, then please forgive me for my choice." Mikan said to his uncle who is the highschool principal and to her mother Yuka.

Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka was stunned to her decision to be with them. Natsume though was quite happy he will not be separated from her but there is a nagging feeling that he don't want her to be in the darkness with him. He will protect her innocence and her life, her smile, Natsume swore to himself.

"Very well then, if that is your final decision I can't do anything else to help you out, I'm sorry Yuka." The Principal said to Yuka although as if saying something in his eyes that he will protect her niece no matter what. Yuka then nodded and a tear slipped from her right eye as she disappeared like she was never there before.

"Mikan! Do you know that you and Natsume as well as your classmates can be punished? Specially you and Natsume?!" Narumi scolded Mikan and Natsume.

"I'm willing to take her punishment." Natsume answered. As he took Mikan's hand, who is still not speaking up since her last declaration. Her eyes were covered by her bangs. She is not smiling, Natsume already fears she is already in the darkness. If she ever sinks in it, he will be willingly to drown himself to save her or drown with her forever. He just realized Mikan's importance in his life.

They were on their own thoughts but was disrupted when the door of the Principal's room exploded, and there is Persona. Who looks really pissed. Natsume then took Mikan beside him and put a hand in front of her. Ruka protected Hotaru. Narumi went in front of all of them with Jinno beside him. It looks like they are in deep shit right now…
