Ending and Beginning

Chapter 1 – Starting Point

"Mikan…" a raven haired boy with green eyes looked at his lover's face while he used her lap as his pillow.

The sakura petals flew in every direction.

A girl with golden brown hair and hazel eyes looked at him with a gentle smile on her face. "What is it Natsuki?"

"I love you."

She looked at him curiously. "I love you too."

He smiled then his face became serious. "What will you do if I died?"

She laughed. "Don't be silly. We will never be separated."

"Mikan…"

She looked at him, now, her eyes were also serious but she smiled. "I'll go after you so that we won't be separated."

He shook his head and caressed her face. "If I die, I want you to be happy. Continue with your life, find someone you love. But please… don't forget about me."

"Sakura-san…" the driver said.

Her eyes slowly opened.

"We're almost in the academy."

She nodded. She held her tears back. She won't cry now. She had cried too much already.

A blond teacher with amethyst eyes entered the classroom.

The students ignored him.

Narumi faked a cough. "Everyone! I would like to introduce to you a new student."

There, he caught the attention of his students.

He smiled. "Please come in."

All eyes looked at the new student with golden brown hair that ended to her waist and hazel eyes.

Of course except from a raven haired man with crimson eyes, Natsume who is sleeping with a manga on his head and his best friend R.

All were mesmerized by her beauty. But they also noticed so many alice controlling devices on her body.

She looked at the students with cold eyes.

"Please introduce yourself." Narumi said to her.

"Mikan Sakura. 15 years old. From America. Multi-alice user. Special Star. Dangerous Ability Class."

Baka Baka Baka

Mikan easily dodged the attacks of Hotaru's Baka Gun. When they were children, she would be hit by it but because of her training she dodged it easily.

The class was surprised. No one had successfully dodged that until now.

Mikan looked at Hotaru. "It's been a long time, Hotaru."

Something's wrong. Hotaru thought. She nodded.

Narumi laughed nervously. "Mikan-san, you will need to have a partner and the only one without a partner is Natsume Hyuuga."

The class protested.

"Do you agree? The both of you?" Narumi asked both of them.

Natsume took the manga off his head and stared at Mikan.

Mikan did the same.

They both shrugged.

"Whatever." Natsume said.

"Then your seat will be next to him, Mikan-san."

She nodded and went to her seat.

Narumi went out of the class.

The next period is mathematics. Their teacher is Jinno. He was not particularly happy with Mikan for she was sleeping on her desk while Natsume was sleeping with both of his feet on the table and a manga on his face. He tried calling their attention but failed. He got irritated and used his alice. Unfortunately, when it was about to reach them, it was blocked by Mikan's nullification alice which she usually activates whenever she goes to sleep.

Natsume and Mikan woke up. They were in a bad mood for someone disturbed their slumber. They both glared at Jinno.

Jinno swallowed. "The two of you! Solve the problem on the board!" He commanded not showing his fear.

They both stood up and went to the board.

Natsume began solving the problem while Mikan glared at Jinno then to the problem.

She wrote a single equation and encircled her final answer.

The class was surprised then some snickered.

"That's not how to do it."

"She doesn't even know how to do this."

Koko read Jinno's mind. Where did she learn to do that? Jinno thought.

When Mikan was about to go back to her seat Jinno stopped her. "Sakura-san, I haven't thought that method yet."

She sighed then nodded. She wrote a long method with explanation written then she encircled her answer. She went to her seat.

Natsume finished his problem much earlier than her and is now sleeping again.

The class were in awe.

"I'll let them sleep because they already know the answer. Now all of you should listen." He told them.

The lunch bell rang. Students were all heading to the cafeteria.

Hotaru waited for Mikan whith her boyfriend Ruca.

Mikan saw them. She smirked. "We'll talk later, Hotaru, I don't want to ruin your lunch with your boyfriend."

Luca blushed.

Hotaru nodded.

"Then later." She bid them goodbye.

As she looked at the two of them heading to the cafeteria, she sighed. If only that didn't happen, we will also be like them." She thought.

She headed towards a sakura tree and touched it's trunk with her forehead and palms. Sakura petals flew with the wind. She sang softly.
"I will never let you fall
I'll stand up for you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven."

Tears flowed from her eyes. So much sadness engulfed her. She jumped and sat on a branch of the sakura tree. There she waited until her eyes dried. Then she remembered. "Natsume Hyuuga." She mumbled. She recalled the memories of her past.

It was then interrupted by the school bell that indicated that the afternoon classes are starting.

She sighed and jumped down. She brushed the dirt off her clothes and continued walking towards the classroom.

Before entering the classroom, she felt a presence and heard a man's voice. "I am the DA class teacher, Persona. I would like you to meet me after class to talk about a mission."

"Does this relate to the AAO?"

"Yes."

She nodded. When the presence vanished, she looked straight. For me to continue to live, I need a purpose. That is revenge. Doing these missions is my first step. She thought. This is my Starting Point.
