Chapter 1- Reunited

Mikan entered the room that held her beloved fire caster. She wiped her tears, knowing that these tears would hurt him. She pinched her cheeks and smiled her heartwarming smile, because she knew he would do anything in the world to see the smile that made him whole.

She peeked to be greeted by his playful banter. "What are you doing standing behind a patients room like some sort of stalker?" he grinned.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't stop my stalker urges. Maybe, it's because the patient is so lively, that I couldn't stay away." She smiled. She walked towards his comfy white hospital bed and grabbed his hand in hers.

She examined the wounds. All the scars that circled around his palm made her sob. She kissed each scar, hoping that her kisses would erase everything. She held him tight knowing that whatever she did would be useless. She couldn't save him. She couldn't save herself. She couldn't save anyone. For that she hates herself. If only she reached him in time. If only she was strong enough.

She thought back to the day of the incident; the day that she stopped living.

Flash back 5 years ago

Mikan walked through the corridors of the school searching for a certain black cat. She smiled as she thought of him. She knew that she loved him. As she reached their tree, she couldn't find him. She roamed the school grounds, but a certain raven lad couldn't be found.

Mikan panicked. She asked everyone she knew if they saw him.

"I'm sorry, Mikan. I haven't seen him," Nonoko stated. She passed her and headed to the others.

"Ruka, have you seen Natsume?" she pleaded.

"Bunny boy hasn't seen him, he's been with me all day." Hotaru smirked as Ruka blushed.

She smiled at her best friend and turned to Ruka. "Take good care of her, Ruka. This one here is a tough one." She smirked.

In an instant, Hotaru fired the Baka gun 10,000 super charge. Mikan left them with a bump on her head.

Mikan stuck her tongue out and continued her search.

Where are you Natsume? Please tell me you're alright? Why do I feel this way? He's probably fine. I'm just worrying like I usually do. She thought to herself.

She then heard an explosion as she went into the Cafeteria. She knew that her search would have to wait. The schools protection was her top priority. She bounded towards the fire and saw many students running in fear. She narrowed her eyes on the AAO agents.

She encircled all the students that were injured in a levitation bubble. She was ready to move them to the forest and then someone was ready to strike her and then there was nothing. She turned to see him watching her with his beautiful crimson eyes.

"Don't leave yourself open to the enemy. What if I wasn't here to protect you?" He growled.

Mikan knew that he was worried about her. She moved the students and faced the chaos.

"You are always there when I need you. You would never let me fall." She grinned. She watched as his eyes soften at the sight. She held out her hand and grasped his.

"Are you ready? " She whispered.

He pulled her in his arms. "As long as we have each other, we'll always be ready." He stated warmly and then he was gone.

He burned the AAO agents to nothing but dust. Mikan grinned and continued to disarm each AAO agents and placed all of them in a barrier that prevented escape.

The Dangerous ability class stepped in, as well as their friends.

Mikan couldn't contain her joy. Her family will protect their home. That brought tears to her eyes.

She watched Natsume and saw the scars increasing in his palms. "Natsume, stop!" She screamed.

Realization hit him and he pulled away from the attacker. He kicked him and ran to Mikan's awaiting arms.

He fell into her arms. She held his hand in his and used her alice to take away the scars. She knew Natsume had the alice that took away his life bit by bit.

She watched his face covered in sweat, his lips in a tight line, his hair dishevel in sweat and blood.

She felt tears freeing themselves from her hurting heart. She tried and tried to erase the scars, but they wouldn't disappear. Mikan was frightened. She didn't know what she could do to save him.

"Why did you do that, baka? I told you to never use up your alice. I told you to leave the fighting to me. I could've protected you." She moaned.

Natsume laughed. "Then who would protect you?" he coughed blood.

Mikan didn't hesitate and took him to the infirmary. "Please, help him." She pleaded.

Everyone stood around waiting for the doctor to give the results. Mikan was in tears praying to every God she could think of. Hotaru held her hand and patted her back. Hotaru never wanted to see Mikan this broken. She hoped Natsume would recover.

Yoichi cried and Mikan grabbed him from the ground and held him tight. "He'll be ok. He just has to be." She whispered mostly to herself.

"Are you all here for Natsume Hyuuga?" The doctor appeared out of the O.R.

Mikan jumped up with Yoichi in her arms. "Is he alright? Will he be ok? Can I see him?" she badgered.

The doctor looked bleak. "I'm sorry, but he doesn't have much time left. If he continues to use his alice, then his life will be short. He can't be saved. I'm sorry." The doctor stated sadly and then walked away.

Mikan ran to Natsume's room and watched as he slept. She held his bandaged hands and with all her might took his stone. She wanted him to live. She wanted him to live a long life. She kissed him everywhere. She kissed his forehead, his cheeks, his ears, his nose, and lastly his lips. She left feather kisses everywhere from his jaw to his collar bone.

She knew that what she did would be unforgivable, but it doesn't matter as long as he lives. She knew he would disappear from her life.

"I won't let you forget about me or anyone of us for that matter." She promised as she inserted her nullifying alice in him.

She walked away from the room knowing that this was goodbye. But even though she took away his alice and kept his memories of them alive, he was still dying.

End of flash back

You know why you're here, don't you?" he pulled her away from her thoughts.

"I just know that this is the end for you and me," she cried.

He shook his head and laughed. "Polka, it's only the beginning. "

She sunk into his arms and held him tight never wanting to let him go. It's been 5 years since he left and 5 years she has been pulled away from him. 5 years that has been insignificant to her without Natsume by her side.

Natsume grinned at Mikan as he asked her the very questions she dreaded, because that would mean it was the end.

"Would you grant me my wish? Would you be able to give me a whole year with you? Would you stay by my side, through the pain and the tears? Would you bear it all, to grant me my last wish?" he whispered.

Mikan smiled as her eyes filled with tears, "Yes."

So? How was it? Please give me your feed back. I want to know your thoughts. Thank you for giving my story a chance.
