MIKAN

Laughter. All I can hear is laughter and people continuously running left and right. I opened my eyes to see a playground. There were children laughing and running like little monkeys. I wondered, ' what am I doing here?'

A little aloof I silently watched them from afar, observing their every move. Until one of those little kids approached me and asked, "What are you doing here just standing around , baka? You're supposed to chase after us."

I squinted my eyes as I looked at her, I can't clearly make out what she looked like but I am sure she has a long black hair. As I stared at the other kids waiting for us, I just noticed all of their faces were blurry. I tried blinking rapidly, but it's still the same. I was still trying to see if I can clearly make out their faces, when a hand chop landed on my head.

"Ow!"

"That's what you get for ignoring me, baka , baka, bakaaaa." The kid teased. I sighed, I guess I am still a kid. It's not my problem if I can't clearly make out their faces. I huffed and smiled. Before shouting at them, "Ready or not! Here I come!"

Like horses, all of them ran as fast as they could. Running around left and right, filling the playground full of laughter and joy like there's no problem in this world. As if on cue, I tripped over a root of a tree. I closed my eyes, as I waited for the impact of my fall. I expected to fall to the grass, but what embraced me was a hot substance. I immediately opened my eyes, and to my horror a red hot like substance was all that I can see. It filled the once full of joy and happiness playground, with all of these red substances scattered around. As I felt a drop of hot substance on my neck, I immediately looked up and found the source, which immediately drained all the life in my body.

The girl who reached out to me awhile ago was there, hung on the branch most of her blood drained. Only a drop of blood remains. I gasped and gagged at the scene, because it was too much for me to take it in. I was lost and didn't know what to do. Suddenly a loud horrifying voice said, "It's your fault, XXX."

I looked up at the owner's voice and saw my lifeless playmate staring at me with mouths agape and eyes wide. I was in horror, I couldn't move. Not even a tiny voice escaped my mouth, I suddenly forgot how to breathe at how horrifying it was. She slowly pointed at me and suddenly a cross on a chain fell on her wrist.

"You killed us, XXX. We trusted you. How can you do this? HOW?" The girl said with her horrifying voice. She cried still wide eyes and continued to look at me with somewhat looks like hatred. Suddenly, hands started appearing on the hot substances on the ground. I muttered every strength and tried outrunning them.

As I continued to run, I saw my other playmates lifeless on different areas on the playground. Some had heads extracted from their body, while others lost a body part. Only my playmate on the tree was, I think , has still complete parts. Only her blood was taken away. I cried while continuously running making everything blurry. I felt that I can't escape the playground because the street felt too far for me to reach. Not long, I heard a very loud voice making my world stop.

"Times up." said a very loud and deep voice.

As if on cue, a hand caught my feet. I struggled, trying to be release from its grip. But to no prevail, 'cuz the hands increased rapidly and held me firmly. Before I could truly be engulfed by the red hot substances, I saw a figure that looks like a man grinning widely while holding his book that somewhat looks like a bible , but with a cross that looks like a sword which is quite similar to the cross my playmate has. I couldn't make out what he looked like, because the hands were now covering my face forcing me to sink into the ground.

But before I could truly drown, what I only understood is what he said. Which is, "We'll see each other again. Very soon... i'll be waiting for you, my bride." The last sentence came out like a whisper, as if he's only talking to himself. Suddenly, I felt a shot of pain all over my body and couldn't help but scream on top of my lungs before everything gone black.

TING.

I opened my eyes, and only a white ceiling greeted me. I blinked rapidly, wondering where I might be. I slowly looked around while still lying down. I couldn't help but notice that there are no windows around, which means only the door is the only way out. I cautiously sat up, and groaned. 'God, this pain is killing me! Damn it.' I mentally cursed, 'cuz the pain is still evident.

Which means that I couldn't move an inch and that I need to wait patiently so that I could recover. I tried sleeping once more, hoping to stop this madness. But it failed, it's no use. I sighed, 'What am I supposed to do now?'

Not long, three guys entered the room. I still couldn't make out their faces, only their necklace (which is a gemstone tied up with a chain) were visible. Ruby, Emerald, and Topaz. Those were their gemstones, I was mesmerized by how bright and pure the stones were. I just stared at them as they converse with each other, using some type of old language maybe? But their language is really... different. This is the first time I heard that type of language.

As if noticing me just now, the guy on the middle with the ruby stone looked towards at my direction. He stopped talking with the other two, and slowly walked towards me. I suddenly tensed up , even though I cannot see him clearly I felt his gaze. He sat beside me, and started talking. I couldn't understand him, that's why I nodded everytime I think he was asking me. Still tensed, I sat there stiffly. The other two just stood there from afar and continued talking.

The guy beside me sighed and suddenly, he raised his hand. I thought he was gonna slap me, so I quickly shut my eyes and waited for the impact. I sat there stiffly waiting for the slap, but nothing came. I slowly opened my eyes and saw his hand playing with my long brunette hair. I stared at it with confusion. 'When the hell did I grew my hair like this?'

While playing with my hair, he continued talking. His hand slowly traveled from my hair to my left cheek, making me look at him. I felt his gaze, deep like staring into my soul. I felt my breathe hitched as he started nearing my face. We were only 5 centimeters apart, he stopped there and caressed my cheek.

Before he could continue to captivate my lips, I heard him say with a soft, clear, and deep voice. "I will protect you, now and always." He said it with such confidence. I quickly shut my eyes as I felt a soft brush on my lips. And -

SWOOSH!

I quickly opened my eyes and saw that I was yet again in a different scenery. I was being hugged by a woman who has a very long brunette hair. Her eyes were covered that looks like that black censored sign which is very strange compared to all of the people whom I've encountered before. I felt how she hugged me with such care, like she was protecting me. But why?

RAWR

I heard snarling behind us. I peeked over my shoulder and saw many hideous hairy creatures with long nails and pointed teeth. My eyes widen in fear and clung unto the woman hugging me. She handled the situation by fighting off those creatures using her superhuman powers. Even though we were outnumbered, she continued fighting them off like it was easy.

"It's gonna me alright , dear. I've got you. " She reassured me with such security. That even despite this hopeless situation, I couldn't help but believe her. Different aromas reached my nose -sweet, bitter, and nasty aromas arose. As I clung to the woman, I tried looking at her as she continued to fight off those creatures and saw blood was dripping off from her forehead. My eyes widen in horror , she was struggling. I tried to sniff off where that smell came from and noticed where I smelled the sweet aroma. 'Ah, its from her.' I was still quite confused as to why I found her sweet. There I noticed her movements were becoming sloppy.

"YAAAAAAAA!~" She screamed with all her might, before she cast a fire to surround us keeping the creatures at bay. She leveled herself to me and forced a smile. The blood continued to flow from her forehead, and I saw a crack where the blood overflows. I furrowed my brows as this was getting weirder and weirder.

She suddenly held me tight as if she was scared of losing me and continued to say. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." She wept at my shoulder, I didn't mind the blood soaking my clothes.

She cupped my face and forced a smile. "Whatever happens, I will always be with you. I love you my sweet sweet, -"

"-kan!"

'Huh?' I furrowed my brows in confusion. What was that?

"-Ikan!" There it was again.

'What the hell?' I scowled, whose voice was that?

WHACK!

I immediately opened my eyes and saw my jii-chan with his fist clenched and looking at me, glaring daggers. 'He looked like a ripe tomato. lol.' I mentally chuckled, but remembered that something hurt-

"Ow!" I rubbed my bruised head.

"YOU IDIOTIC CHILD! DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?" He fumed, still mad at me. I yawned and looked over my clock beside my bed. My eyes widen in shocked.

7:30 am.

"Shit!" I exclaimed, which is very wrong, 'cuz I received another hit from ji-chan. "Watch your language, young lady!"

"For an old man you sure hit hard." I mumbled while avoiding his gaze. He stopped walking his tracks and glared at me once more. "What did you say?"

I pouted. "Nothing."

"Well if that's all, you better hurry up. They'll be picking you up at 8." With that said, he left. I fell back on my bed and reached out to the ceiling, "Just what did that dream mean?" I muttered as I gone into a trance.

'Dwelling will not make matters easier.' I thought. I shrugged and sighed. "Well, better start packing."

"Mikan, they're here!" Jii - chan shouted. I quickly gathered my stuff and took a one last look at the mirror, 'Yosh! Hair is raised with pigtails, clothes are neat and clean, and face is fresh and blooming.' I nodded at myself and headed down.

"Coming!"

As I go down, I saw two men - er - one normal man and an unusual man with a tutu. I mentally sweat dropped at the scene. The unusual man with blondie hair and a tutu noticed me coming down and flashed me with a - er - flashy smile?

"You must be Mikan Sakura! It's nice to meet you." He exclaimed and shook my hand with such joy. I felt weird, 'cuz I expected to hear a girly voice, but anyways -

"Well, uhm, yeah. Nice to meet you." I smiled back. It would be rude if I ignored him being friendly. 'Cuz I probably will see him often, so I should also be nice. I noticed the two tensed up. I looked at them weirdly.

Maybe the other guy noticed my questionable look, he cleared his throat. " uhm , well. I am Misaki, I will be your Science teacher. While this guy, he's Narumi Anjou the headmaster of the school and will also be your adviser."

My eyes widen in shock. Well, who wouldn't be? Who would expect that his my adviser, heck even the headmaster of my school. I slowly nodded trying to take things in. Narumi - san, or should I say, Narumi-sensei looked at the clock and exclaimed. "Oh no! We need to go now. Say babye to your jii-chan, Mikan-san."

I nodded and bid Jii-chan farewell, "I'll see you soon." Jii- chan hugged me and I felt hot tears forming in my eyes. "Take care and have fun, Mikan."

I noticed he was pushing back his tears, I gave him my most brightest smile and waved. I turned around and walked towards the car. I stopped at the entrance of the car, I looked back once more at my house which I lived in for 15 years.

"Shall we get going, Mikan - san?" Misaki - sensei asked. I sighed and proceeded to enter the car.

'I'll see you soon, Ji -chan. '

On the way to the academy, Narumi-sensei cut to the chase.

"Mikan-san, did you-"

"Mikan will be fine." I cut him off. He cleared his throat and asked again, "Well, er, Mikan, did you perhaps hacked the school files?"

I mentally smirked, well I did tried hacking Alice Academy's files. Because I badly wanted to know what kind of school will I let myself get into. All of my friends entered the Academy and ever since then they never left the campus, making my curiosity itching to know more. Being the rightful girl I am, I sighed and nodded. "Yes."

The two men looked at each other in disbelief. 'What is it ? Is it really that unbelievable?' I thought. Narumi - sensei gulped, and asked. "Then did you know the reason why we have a night class for special students?"

'A reason for a night class?' I wondered. I know we had a night class, but I always thought that the purpose of it was simply because for students who have busy schedules. I always thought that it got nothing to do with me, that's why I didn't checked that part of the files. However, the way how Narumi-sensei delivered it piqued my interest. Being the curious girl I am, I nodded. Even though I am unsure, I needed to know why? How? And what for?

Narumi-sensei gasped. "Oh dear." I saw how all of the color on his face were gone, but he immediately tried to compose himself. Misaki-sensei noticed Narumi-sensei's discomfort, so he tried to take the matter on his hands.

"Mikan, it seems that you will never -" Misaki-sensei was cut off when Narumi-sensei's phone rang. I sighed, 'Saved by the bell.'

"We'll continue this later, Mikan. Misaki, I need your help. Seems there was a problem at the - " I didn't listen anymore. I just stared at the places we've passed by. As I recall the events in my dreams. The dreams started when I just turned 15, every single night the dreams always repeat itself again and again. Sometimes, the dreams even run long as expected giving me some bits and pieces as to why or who or what that dream is about. Like earlier, it had gone too long with the woman. Also, I believe that my dreams are connected to the experiences that I experienced during my early childhood. It seems that I can't remember everything since I was 10 years and younger. It is still a mystery 'till today as to why I didn't have a memory of it.

"We're here." Misaki-sensei said. I fluttered my eyes open , I didn't noticed that I fell asleep and that we've already arrived at the school gate. I immediately hopped out of the car and take a breathe in. The first thing that I saw once we stepped inside the campus were the sakura trees. My eyes gleamed with excitement and joy. 'My favorite tree!' I mentally exclaimed.

I was about to run off and check each and every sakura tree that was there, when Narumi-sensei stopped me. "Mikan, please come to the headmasters office at 5. We still have some matters to discuss, since tomorrow will be your first day you are free to go wherever you like."

I squealed in delight. "Really?" I asked him and looked at him with my eyes twinkling in excitement. He chuckled, "Of course, just be careful. Me and Misaki - sensei have matters to attend to , so run along."

"Yes! Thank you, thank you , thank you! I'll see you later at 5." With that said I immediately run off like a child, checking each and every sakura tree. Then there I spotted, the most largest and beautiful sakura tree in the campus.

"It's so pretty." I was captivated by its beauty, I slowly approached the said tree with cautiousness.

NORMAL POV

"Are you sure she could go everywhere she likes? What if she goes there? " Misaki asked. Narumi just shrugged his shoulders, "Mikan already read the article regarding it. I'm sure she knows what to do. And besides, she has a very unique case, no?"

Misaki nodded. "Yeah, she's a first. Are you really sure she's a normie? "

Narumi nodded. "Yeah, I checked her already through and through."

They continued talking until they reached the place where they needed to go. Unbeknownst to them , a black figure was listening to their conversation. Then suddenly, disappeared from man's sight.

As Mikan examined the big sakura tree, she didn't notice there were three pair of eyes watching her. She inhaled deeply before screaming, "THIS CAMPUS IS THE BEST!" She chuckled as she run around the tree like an idiot until she slipped. Hitting her face first, not knowing her panties were seen.

"Ooomff!" She quickly sat upright and rubbed her face. 'Ow, idiotic Mikan.' She thought.

"Nice panties, polka." A deep voice said from above her. She quickly looked up at the source and saw a man with jet black hair and deep red eyes. She was captivated by his looks, until she remembered something. 'Polka?' She thought, she furrowed her brows in confusion, before blushing like a tomato.

She was embarrassed and angry at the same time. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOU DAMN, PERVERT!" She quickly stood and fixed her skirt. She was about to storm off, when the man swiftly went down and landed infront of her. 'Wow! He's tall and smells good.' She blushed at the thought. 'What the heck, Mikan! Get a grip.' She mentally exclaimed.

The man quickly held both of her hands and pinned her down on the tree. She struggled under his grip, which he just tightened it suddenly. She groaned, 'Damn, this hurts.' She winced.

"What did you say to me?" The man said with his deep voice. He looked at Mikan like he was sucking her soul from her body. Mikan's breathe hitched at the scene. 'His gaze are deep.' She thought. Before smirking back at him as a reply.

The man was obviously annoyed at the act. "Why you little -! " He was cut off when a voice not far from them was heard.

"Natsume!" The new guy exclaimed. He has blue eyes and a blondie hair. 'Must be a foreigner.' Mikan thought as she mentally checked him out. Behind him is also a man, with silver hair and green eyes. 'Wow, I am supposed to be lucky 'cuz I met three hot guys during my first day. Yippee. ' Mikan sarcastically thought.

"Shit, Ruka." The man named Natsume, silently cursed. He slowly pried away his hands from Mikan. Mikan quickly moved away from Natsume, making him glare at her. Mikan shivered as she felt a cold run from her spine, which she just shrugged it away. The blondie guy, Ruka, flashed her a smile.

"Hello, you must be new here. Are you alright?" He asked her. Mikan slowly nodded as she was now taking caution. 'I shouldn't take hot guys lightly. They may be hot, but who knows what they can do?' Mikan thought. Ruka's eyes widen, and looked at Natsume with a scowl.

"Look what you've done, Natsume! She's scared. The poor thing."

"Whatever." Natsume muttered as he avoided Ruka's glares. Ruka sighed and shook his head in disbelief. The other guy behind Ruka with a silver hair slowly walked around Mikan and Ruka and approached Natsume. Despite his cold demeanor, it was evident in his eyes that he was excited to see him.

"Natsume - nii! Here's the latest chapter." The silver haired guy gave the manga to Natsume. Natsume couldn't help but smiled at the silver-haired guy. Mikan watched them from afar and couldn't help but notice Natsume's smile. 'Oh so he can smile.' She thought.

"Thanks, Yoichi." Natsume ruffled Yoichi's hair. 'What a nice scene. But wait a minute-!' Mikan thought. She was about to get into the nice mood, but she forgot who the heck this guys were.

"Uhm, er, may I ask who you guys are?" Mikan asked innocently. The three looked at her simultaneously and looked at her in disbelief.

"Are you really serious, Polka?" Natsume asked still in disbelief.

"You already reached that point with Natsume-nii and you don't even know who we are, Old hag?" Yoichi monotonously asked, mockingly. Mikan's eye slighty twitched at the word, 'Old hag.'

"Oi oi, don't misunderstood things." Natsume corrected Yoichi. Ruka sighed, and asked. "Miss, are you really sure you haven't seen us even once? Not even while you were outside?"

Mikan titled her head and answered. "Yep, 100% positive. I haven't seen you guys, not even once."

The three looked like their worlds collapsed right then and there. It was like their pride was hurt. Ruka cleared his throat, "Well then, if that's the case let me introduce the three of us. I am Ruka Yukihara, the second son of the president of the Yukihara corps. He is -" he pointed at Natsume. "He is Natsume Yukihara, the first son. And this is." He pointed at Yoichi. "He is Yoichi Yukihara the third son." Mikan nodded slowly taking in the information. 'Yukihara, huh.' Mikan thought.

"Now may we ask who you might be?" Ruka asked, and Mikan smiled brightly and offered her hand. "I'm Mikan Sakura! I just transferred here today it was nice to meet you." Even though Mikan had some bad impressions at them at first, she thought that it doesn't matter anymore. 'It's my first day, I don't want them to spoil my mood.' She thought.

Ruka took her hand and shook it, giving her also a bright smile. Still holding Ruka's hand, Mikan noticed the manga that Natsume was holding and her eyes widen. She gasped. "Natsume! Is that the new volume of Korikori-san that was supposed to be released next week?"

Natsume's cool composure was slighly disturbed, but he immediately collected himself. He was shocked to see that girl (like Mikan) was interested in that type of manga. "You, how come you know -" He was cut off by the sound of a gun.

BANG BANG BANG

It seems like the world stopped, the three - Natsume, Mikan, and Yoichi saw how Ruka was shot. They saw it like everything was in slow motion. A bump was evident on Ruka's head. 'Hey, that gun's sound seems familiar!' Mikan thought. She immediately looked at where the bullets came from and there she saw her jet black haired, amethyst eyed bestfriend.

Mikan's eyes started to water and shouted. "HOTARUUUUUUU~!" Natsume, Yoichi, and Ruka looked at her with wide eyes, a mixture of confusion and curiosity are evident in their eyes. Her best friend, Hotaru, smirked and readied her gun. She aimed at Mikan, as to which she responded with a smirk.

BANG BANG BANG

The three men thought in unison. 'No one can escape Imai's baka gun.' They watched silently as they saw Hotaru shot Mikan, but to the three's surprise Mikan was able to avoid every bullet that was shot at her. Their mouths were agape at the scene.

"What the hell?" Natsume mumbled. He felt a little annoyed and frustrated at Mikan's little stunt. Because clearly, Mikan's moves were quick like she was trained. 'She could probably shook me off awhile ago but why didn't she?" Natsume thought, still annoyed.

Hotaru slightly smiled, she put her baka gun down and opened her arms , signaling Mikan that she could hug her. Mikan not letting this opportunity go to waste, immediately hugged Hotaru. "Hotaruuuuuuuu~! I missed youuuuuu ~" Mikan wailed. Hotaru comforted Mikan by stroking her back, but immediately pushed her away afterwards.

"I missed you too but that's enough, baka." Hotaru said monotonously. Mikan pouted. "Meanie."

The three men looked at them stunned at how close the two were. They just observed the two girls as they converse with each other. "I guess you met the idiotic brothers right away." Hotaru smirked. Natsume's eye twitched, 'cuz he heard what Hotaru said but didn't dare to talk back. He didn't want to be hit by her baka gun.

"You know them , Hotaru?" Mikan asked. Hotaru nodded. "Yeah, apparently those two are my classmates?" She pointed at the three.

Mikan's face immediately gleamed. "Really? Then are you my classmate, Hotaru?" Mikan asked. Her eyes were twinkling with hope and excitement.

Hotaru answered, still monotonously . "No, apparently we will never be classmates." Mikan's mood immediately dropped. "Why is that?" She asked. Still hoping that they could be classmates, since it's already been three years since they last saw each other.

"Because I'm in night class." Hotaru answered. Mikan's brows furrowed. 'Again with the night class?' Mikan thought and hummed.

"Hmmmm... Then I'll asked Narumi-sensei to let me transfer to night class." Mikan confidently replied. Hotaru sweat dropped and became annoyed. "That won't do, you idiot."

All three men were still stunned to see Hotaru Imai being friendly with the new girl Mikan Sakura. Natsume was about to ask Hotaru when suddenly his ears twitched.

"Shit!" He exclaimed. Mikan and Hotaru immediately looked at Natsume, while the other two cautiously waited like waiting for the predator to catch them. All of them looked in front of them as they saw a huge dust coming their way. From afar, they heard a voice shouting.

"MIKAAAAAAAN SAKURAAAAAA~!" The voice shouted with such power. Mikan's ears twitched. 'That voice.' She thought. Mikan squinted her eyes to see a girl with seaweed colored hair and green eyes.

As the seaweed girl neared them, Mikan immediately dashed towards her. As their distance were closing in, Mikan widely spread her arms and embraced the seaweed haired girl. "Permy!" Permy, the girl Mikan called was caught off guard, but immediately composed herself and hugged back.

"It's Sumire, you idiot." Permy , er, Sumire happily cried as the two hugged each other. The three men looked at them and were stunned once again.

'Just how come this girl (Mikan) had such friends.' The three men thought in disbelief. Because Mikan, has indeed such formidable friends. Sumire wiped away her tears and immediately noticed the men behind Mikan, and squealed. "OH MY GOD! MIKAN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT -"

BANG BANG BANG

Mikan sweat dropped at the scene. Sumire flew away 5 feet away from her, while Hotaru looked at Sumire, annoyed. Sumire quickly recovered and glared at Hotaru, which she just retorted with a smirk. Which made, Sumire even more furious. Mikan stood between the two and tried to calm things down.

"Now, now." Mikan awkwardly comforted the two. "Why do you need to do that, Imai?" Sumire hissed. Hotaru started wiping her baka gun and didn't looked at Sumire. "Because you're fucking annoying, Shouda." Hotaru simply said, which triggered Sumire to fight Hotaru.

Mikan hugged Sumire, so that she wouldn't claw Hotaru. Hotaru continued cleaning her gun without a care in the world. The three men, sweat dropped at how things escalated so quickly. The fighting was stopped, when a strawberry colored haired girl and a bubblegum colored haired girl came.

Everyone looked at the new arrivals. The two girls were panting from running. "Dang it, Sumire! You were too fast." The strawberry haired girl said. The bubblegum haired girl nodded, still panting.

"Oh Anna, Nonoko, I didn't know you were there." Sumire simply said. Anna, the strawberry haired girl, glared at Sumire. Which she replied with an awkward laugh. "Sorry." She mumbled.

Anna and Nonoko are nice, but you wouldn't want to mess with them. Because they are much more scarier than Hotaru. Nonoko, the bubblegum haired girl, sighed. "Well moving that aside." Nonoko looked at Mikan, and gleamed. "Mikan, it's been so long!" Nonoko hugged Mikan.

"Nonokoo~ it's great you arrived on time. This two were killing me." Mikan cried. The two whom she was indicating were Sumire and Hotaru. Anna approached Mikan and Nonoko, and joined the hug. "We really missed you, Mikan!" Anna exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah!" Nonoko agreed. The three men weren't surprised anymore. Because what they realized is that Mikan Sakura isn't just some typical ,ordinary, and idiotic girl. She is what you call a "predator caller", who befriends people not knowing that they had such dangerous sides that everyone is scared of. Making her idiotic ways to her advantage.

"Hey, so what section are you guys?" Mikan suddenly asked. Anna gleamed and immediately told Mikan. "2-B. We'll be classmates!"

"We already asked Naru-sensei, that's why we know." Nonoko added. Mikan smiled and high fived them, but her mood immediately dropped when she remembered Hotaru.

"How come only Hotaru is separated?" Mikan sadly asked. Anna patted her head as comfort. "There, there. It's alright, you'll be able to see her during breaks so don't worry. And besides, you wouldn't want your senpai to worry, no?"

'Senpai?' Mikan thought. Her eyes suddeny widen when realization hit her. "Y-y-you're my senpai, h-h-hotaru?" Mikan stuttered as she felt a cold run down her spine. Hotaru grinned devilishly. "Yep."

Written in their students handbook, rule # 143 - students must follow what their senpai's asked as a sign of respect. (be it day class or night class. A senpai is a senpai) Students must abide this rule or students will be punished.

Mikan felt like all her life was drained, making her legs jelly at the thought. She kneeled down, cried and asked why. "Why?" Everyone laughed at how funny the scene was.

DING DONG. DING DONG.

"Well then, I think it's time for us to go." Anna said, picking up the crying Mikan on the ground.

"Go where?" Mikan asked. Sumire confidently stood up and exclaimed "To the town square!"

Nonoko hit Sumire's head, causing Sumire to glare at her. Mikan chuckled at the two. "You idiot, don't say that to Mikan. You know her, once she made up her mind nothing's gonna stop her."

"True enough." Mikan shrugged. Nonoko looked at Mikan and said "We'll be heading back to the dormitory."

"Why? It's still early!" Mikan groaned. It's still broad daylight at that time which makes Mikan confused at how early they need to check in , in their dormitory.

"Stop complaining. There's nothing we can't do. Principal's orders." Sumire said. Mikan sighed, she looked at Hotaru and hugged her once more.

"Babye Hotaru, I'll see you later." Mikan said sadly. She looked behind Hotaru and approached the three guys who were just standing there the whole time. She gleamed at them. "It was nice meeting you three, 'till next time!" She exclaimed and bow before returning next to Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire.

Sumire was trying to pry off from Anna's grip for when she saw Mikan talking to the three brothers, she couldn't help but feel protective towards them. Which is expected from the president of Yukihara brothers fan club.

Mikan looked at them one last time and waved at them, before the four girls proceeded to walk away. Natsume covered his eyes and inhaled deeply. "It's sweet." He quietly mumbled as if he was just talking to himself.

Hotaru looked serious and glared at Natsume. "Stop thinking perverted things to my bestfriend, Hyuuga. " She monotonously said. "Just because she didn't know you guys doesn't mean you're at an advantage." She added. The brothers blushed in embarrassment. "Shut up." Natsume said coldly. He gritted his teeth in annoyance. Hotaru slapped him before quietly walking away from them.

Only the three guys were left at the big sakura tree. Natsume held his swollen cheek using the hand he used to cover his eyes and glared at Hotaru's back. "Damn that, Imai." He cursed. His eyes were glowing a crimson red.

"Who would have thought that old hag had such friends." Yoichi mumbled, his eyes were also glowing a deep emerald green." Ruka looked towards where Mikan and the others went, and then looked at where Hotaru went. "Indeed." He agreed, his eyes were glowing a deep sky blue.

The three men went into a trance as they continued to analyze the events that happened awhile ago. Natsume looked at the manga he was holding the whole time. He clenched it and smirked. "Mikan Sakura, huh? This is gonna be interesting."

He sighed and looked at the other two, "Come on, it's time for us to go there." The two nodded and complied. In the blink of an eye, they were out of man's sight.

Unbeknownst to them, a butterfly was settled on top of the tree. Which returned to its master once the fated meeting of the kids was over.

I chuckled as the butterfly returned to me. "My dear. Your time is already up. Hurry hurry. Tick tock. Tick tock. Time is running out."

I watched as the events replayed on the butterfly's memory. As soon as I had enough, I crushed the little creature and smiled devilishly. "What a poor and fragile creature indeed. Just one hand, it can be eliminated forever."

I opened my palm to see the butterfly crushed into tiny pieces. I smirked as I know soon everything will be alright. I held the old wristwatch and grinned.

"Tick tock. Tick tock. You're time is almost up. Tick tock. Tick tock. Soon i'll need to speed it up. So come on my dear, give me your best shot."
