Mikan's POV

When Peter and I arrived at the castle ground, there was a maze we had to get through... 'Too bad I'm not good with mazes' (sigh)... When Peter saw my face, he thought I was sad about not being with natsume.

"I'm sorry Mikan-chan... Its all my fault...I separated you with your companion so... I'm sorry..."

I saw him with his cute and inoccent eyes and so I couldn't help but fall in love with his cuteness :)), so I hugged him like when my mother used too hug me when I was little.

"Dont worry.. It's not your fault, I forgive you Peter, so you gotta smile for me okay? :)"

I gave him a big smile so he can smile back at me. And he did give me a big smile. I was really glad he gave me a big smile it made me cry a little. (tears of joy) But then I heard sounds of footsteps coming near us then this man appeared infront of us.

" Hey Sir Peter :) are you lost?"

after that Peter jumped infront of me and transformed back into a man. 'wow, my head hurts now... '

"As if I would get lost, at least I know my way back to places! While YOU get lost easily! Man I wish I can just kill you now.. But queen's orders(sigh) I can't kill you no matter what.. :P"

"Hehehehe :D that's right." that guy who was talking to Peter gave a big smile like nothing was wrong.

" "Hey Sir Peter"

"What is it now?"

"Who is that girl on the floor?"

"Oh that's Mikan Sakura, she is a foriegner."

the man was so surprised that he ran up too me and hugged me, and his face was on my chest. "Oh wow~! This is a foriegner? This is the first time I've met one :)"

I started blushing so much that I almost turned red. "Hey! Get away from Mikan!"

"But Sir Peter, your not even her 'Lover' and I have and I am interested in her :) that means you can't have Mikan all too yourself :)"

'Ehh? What does he mean by he is interested in me? Don't tell me.. Peter is interested in me too? Ahhh I am having a massive headache right now... I think I'm gonna pass out.. Ughhh...' I fainted because I was tired and I had a massive headache because of the confusion I had... I bet this was all just a dream and once I wake up this dream would be over...

Normal POV

They affirmed her suspicions, Peter and 'That Man' (which Mikan still doesn't seem too know the name yet :P) DID get worried about Mikan so they brought her to The Castle of Hearts. They then placed Mikan on the bed for her to rest. After that, Peter went to Blood to constantly brag about how Mikan was soon to stay at the castle, oddly he accidentally mentioned of what occured to Mikan on the first day. Meanwhile 'That Man'(or specifically known as Ace) went to find Julius Monrey but got lost in the end. Julius Monrey lives at the clock tower, He doesn't like going out that much nor does he like to ride rollercoasters at the theme park :P. And his best friend is Gowland, Mary Gowland. Who appears to be the head of the Carnival.(both Mary Gowland and Julius Monrey are other characters that will appear in the story later on. Oh well, Moving on!.) Once Peter arrived at the Hatters Mansion he saw Blood going back inside. It looked like he just came from a long walk, so Peter was walking towards him until suddenly Blood held out his cane and pointed it too Peter. Peter stopped moving, and just stood straight.

"Do you have anything you wanted too say... Peter?" he said pleasently.

Peter unknowingly saw the cane turn into a gun. "Yes... I'm hear to talk to you about Mikan Sakura... The foreigner."

Blood was shocked and surprised that Peter would tell something about Mikan, because normaly Peter would just keep things from himself. So Blood put his cane down and welcomed Peter into his Mansion.

Peter went too Bloods room since that's where Blood usually has his conversations alone with people. Bloods room was filled with books of all kind. Literature,Fantasy,Agriculture etc... He has it all. So continuing with the story, Peter told Blood about how Mikan collapsed and had A fever... A really high fever. Both unaware that someone was at the door listening to what Peter and Blood were talking about. It was Natsume... He was just passing by Bloods room until he heard Peter say"Mikan... High fever..." so Natsume realized that Mikan had a fever, so he ran to the castle as fast as he can to find Mikan but suddenly he found a man that looked like a knight... Yes... It was 'That Man' it was...

"Hello, I'm Ace :)"


Natsume's POV

"yea..but I'm in a hurry right now do you know where the queens castle is?"

he rubbed his chin trying to think, his hand soon found its way to his head, scratching. What a weirdo... Then he widened his Eyes and said "I know where it is! I'll show you."

so I followed him around but we ended up going in circles... That idiot!...he has no sense of direction at all!. But then we met the Hare/Elliot on one of the intersections, thank GOD he saved us/me!

"oh hey Natsume, Blood told me to not harm you anymore and I'm sorry for yesterday..." he gave a sad face...

It annoyed me alot... So I went straight too the point.. "yea...yea, do you know where the queens castle is?... This Ace-guy has no sense of direction at all!"

"I know he never does, I'll take you there right now." Elliot grabbed my arm and started dragging me

but then Ace pulled me to seperate me from Elliot. "Hey, I was supposed to bring him there you know?" Ace had a smirk or his face..

It looked kinda weird.

"well you have no sense of direction at all, so I should lead him to the castle!"

Elliot pulled out his gun from his pocket and pointed it at Ace while Ace pulled out his sword and pointed it at Elliot. As they were fighting I started walking away to find the castle on my own and get to Mikan. A few hours past and the sun was about to go down.. I was so tired that I wanted to sleep but then I found this maze right in front of me.. I had a questioning look on my face, so I walked inside the maze too look if this leads to the castle but then I found this cat on top of the wall... I think he was trying to get a bird or something so I didn't mind him until I saw some guards.. It looked like they were after me so I ran around the maze. Until I reached a dead end, they were about to shoot me with their guns but that cat I saw jumped and landed before me. He shot them with his gun and the soldiers died, I wiped my face since I was sweating alot. I got a little nervous because he just killed 2 soldiers just like THAT.

"Hi, the names Boris. And you must be the foreigner everyones talking about. I heard there were 2 foreigners and I thought if I came here I might see you :)" he had a joyful look on his face which just freaked me out.

"...hn... do you know how I can get into the castle?"

"just go through the front door."

he pointed right behind me and when I faced back I saw a door that leads the way out. And I thought it was a dead end.. Sheesh.. So I ran in and left that cat named Boris there. I saw lots of doors and looked in some of them but I couldn't find Mikan anywhere. There was this last door on the Hallway so I opened it and saw Mikan!. I ran too her and kneeled on my knees to see her. I think she was unconsious. I put my hand over her head and the temperature blazed on my icy palm, I needed to find a doctor right away so I went outside but then I saw..

"Peter?..."


Normal POV

When Peter was right infront of Natsume, he bumped Natsume and ran to Mikan's side holding her hand.

"White" he spat acidly "did you call for a doctor?"

the mentioned rabbit looked up from Mikan's sickly face, disappointedly. "the nearest doctor will come in three nights time"

"are you crazy? Three nights?"

"yup!"

Natsume knew he was a total weirdo but didn't say it aloud, much to his dismay. He knew that he would die if he said that straight to the face. When he was about to go outside yet again, he saw Blood come in with a bouquet of roses in one hand. He walked casually towards the table near the bed but stopped for a moment to look at Natsume. He gave a little grin and continued walking towards the table near the bed to put the roses down and stare at Mikan. 'Idiots..' Natsume thought in his head while walking out the door. As Natsume went out the castle, in and out of the maze, he tried to look for a doctor but instead he ends up finding himself at a clock tower smack in the middle of Wonderland. He didn't care if he had to knock on the door so he just barged right in it. He tried to look for someone that knew about medical stuff, then he ended up in this room where there was a man starting out into the open on his porch but he then realizes that there was a man that came inside his room.

"Who's there?""Leave, immediatley!"

Natsume wasn't scared of this 'chump' so Natsume confronted him and said "I won't leave until you tell me where I can find a doctor right now!...My friend... Has a high fever right now...she looked so pale..."

"so what? Its none of my concern"

"you heartless bastard!" Natsume gripped his shirt and clenched his fists just a bit.

"...where's the patient?" the man muttered in a silent voice.

Natsume let go of his shirt and turned around. "the patient is at the castle of hearts... Go there and look for someone named Mikan Sakura"

"Mikan Sakura?"

"yes, why? Do you know her?"

the man glanced back at the work on his desk, clocks. He had been recently attempting to fix them. "no, its nothing"

Natsume shrugged, walked away and headed to the headquarters/house of the hatters, so Natsume can rest a bit and visit Mikan tomorrow but before he even knew it, the moon was rising outside and it started to rain. He found the Hatter's mansion and hurried inside, drenched from the precipitation. Natsume then went to his personal bathroom to take a shower, allowing the cool temperature to punish him of his inability to protect Mikan. This curious feeling was foreign to him, still he brushed it aside. He plopped onto the soothing sheets of his matress, sleep engulfing him in a nightmare.
