"I really want to go!" yelled a girl to his brother.

"You still need to take a rest Aoi, your legs are not fully healed yet" a blonde boy said.

"But-but, I promised Mikan that I will visit her as soon as I got healed." Aoi said as water began forming in her eyes.

"Who is Mikan by the way, Aoi?" Mochu asked.

"Remember the ball 8 years ago in Japan? The day when I escaped from the hospital and then I attend the ball only wearing a hospital gown? "Aoi started.

Flashback

[8 years ago]

A girl wearing a hospital gown was awestricken as she scattered her eyes at the hall. The hall was full of noble people all around the world. The ball was being held by her family. Unfortunately, her grandfather didn't allowed her to go to the ball because of her condition. Aoi's leg was so weak that she cannot walk properly on her own Thus, leading her to stay in the hospital for an operation.

But what catches her attention most was the group of ballerinas who were laughing, enough to attract the attention of some boys.

Aoi wanted to get to know them, so she went towards to the group and introduced herself.

"Hi, my name is-Aoi." she said nervously, as the group stared at her.

"I wanted to be friends with-" Aoi continued but was suddenly cut off by a pink-haired girl who seems to be the leader of the group. "Sorry, we don't talk to strangers and especially we don't talk to a mentally ill person like you." The girl told her as she pointed her clothes down to her dress.

"Come on Luna, don't waste your time in that hideous creature we're going to perform soon." She heard one of the Girl's companion said. Aoi, hurt at what she heard, ran away from the hall, not caring about the pain she was feeling from her legs. 'They are right, I'm hopeless.' She thought, until she bumped into someone.

"Ouch."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump you" Aoi told her and bowed not bothering to see the face of the person, and was about to walk away until someone grabbed her hands. She looked up to see who the person is; the person is smiling beautifully at her. She was drowned at her beauty and smiled back at her.

"See you're smiling already." The girl told her.

Aoi looked at her with wide eyes.

"You look great with that smile."She continued.

"Oohh, Sorry for my sudden action, My name is Mikan, Lets be friends okay?" The girl said still smiling while holding Aoi's hand.

Aoi was surprised by her words. She didn't expect that someone as beautiful as a goddess would want to be friends with her. "Uhmmm... I'm Aoi." She blushed

"Come, I'll show you something." Mikan told her as she drag Aoi along the garden. The garden was full of Sakura trees and colorful flowers. She stared at Mikan who was smiling with her hair waving with the air.

They both settled down in the grass, Mikan looked at her and said "You were crying a while ago, so I drag you here. I'm happy that you are already smiling now." Aoi gave Mikan her biggest smile then she suddenly noticed Mikan's clothes. Her clothes were the same with the group of ballerina a while ago.

"You're a ballerina right? Why are you still here with me? You should be already performing there"

Aoi asked, and looked at Mikan whose eyes were widely opened. Aoi thought it was her fault why Mikan didn't perform. Feeling guilty, she cried but Mikan hugged her.

"I'm sorry, it is my-" Aoi said and was cut off by Mikan who pinched her cheeks.

"It is okay, Aoi. Besides I cannot sleep when I see a person crying. Since you are my new friend, you are more important to me. And besides I can still dance right? I can only have a unique friend once."

"Mikan nee-chan, you know what-I really wanted to be a ballerina but I can't because I was born this way. My legs were not normal compared to others."

"How old are you, Aoi?" Mikan suddenly asked.

Aoi who notice of the sudden question looked down, and said "seven".

She thought that Mikan is changing the subject because Mikan knew that she is hopeless.

"I'm 9 years old."

She was about to cry when someone patted her and it was Mikan.

"Here don't cry. Look, everything happens for a reason. I know you're strong and I know that you are going to find a way to reach your dreams. Go for it. Fly to your hearts and reach those stars. You are still young to give up. I wish that someday your legs will be healed, and if that happen promise me you're going to let me know okay? I'll be the one to teach you ballet. I'm always here Aoi. You can rely on me."

Mikan said with a reassuring smile.

"I will." Aoi said without hesitation.

"Pinky promise?"

Aoi nodded.

They've been playing at the garden for the rest of the night. Aoi was glad that she has found a new friend, First friend to be exact. Mikan waved a goodbye to Aoi since her grandfather called in her phone. Then somebody dragged Aoi and it was her bodyguards assigned to her by her grandpa. On the next day, her parents sent her to America for the operation. Aoi was afraid, she didn't want operations. After all the struggling, she didn't have any choice but to go there. She wanted to contact Mikan but she didn't know how.

Unknown to her, Mikan was in the hospital trying to fight death.

END of flashback

"So that's the story. Come on Nat; why not give some credits to your sister's heroine? Your sister told us that she is beautiful. Why not grant her request?" Koko grinned, while the others sweat dropped.

While Aoi was telling the story, Natsume looks like he's not listening but in fact, he is listening. He was thankful for the girl because if not because of her, Aoi would still have been like that.

When he heard that Aoi wants to go back to Japan, he refused because he didn't want to see Luna, her ex-gf again. Because when Luna would know about Aoi, as Natsume's sister, She will use it in luring him around. He wanted the idea of Koko, giving credits to that girl called Mikan but he suddenly noticed that what Koko said has a different meaning. Natsume glared at him and said. "No means No." and walked out of the room.

To clear things up, Aoi have been the habitue of the hospital because of her health, and Mikan got in an accident which you will know more in the next coming chapters.

thanks !
