Aoi POV
~Flashback~
"10,9,8,7,6..." Youichi counted, I had to hide fast, luckily the snow was falling hard or he could find the footprints I left behind, I ran towards the tree and climbed up it nestling in the branches above the cold white ground. Me and Youichi were playing hide and seek at our house in England, Uncle and Auntie had some business so me and Natsume-nii could bring one friend, I brought Youichi and Natsume-nii brought Ruka. I snapped out of my trance as I heard Youichi drawl, "Found you,"
As I was getting down something caught my eye, there was only a small trace but there was a trail of blood a couple of metres away.
"Youichi I think an animal has been hurt," I said not moving my eyes from the blood in case it disappeared.
"Why do you think that?" He asked, I pointed to the line of red and walked towards it.
"Let's go help it," I said.
"It's probably dead," Complained Youichi but he followed anyway. When we walked about ten metres into the forest, the line stopped and at the end there was a girl cut and bruised. She looked about Onii-chan's age, 12. Although Youichi and I were only 8 we knew if she stayed out here with injures like that she will probably die.
"Hello, are you okay?" She looked up from the Sakura tree she was sitting against her eyes filled with pain and grief, I held out my hand to help her up but she slapped it away. A growl escaped Youichi's lips. "We just want to help your injuries." I reassured her.
"You will get hurt if you come near me," Her voice was beautiful, like the faint whisper of bells.
"We can take that risk," I said, over the years I had gained my brothers stubborn streak.
"Do you want to end up like me?" She lifted her arms laced with cuts to prove her point but she winced.
I moved forward to help her but she scurried away from her swift movements filled with ache, she was exactly like an injured animal. Luckily I knew how to deal with animals.
I moved forward and hugged her she protested and tried to get away saying dangerous, but I ignored her.
"Your safe," I whispered into her ear, she relaxed and passed out. "Youichi help me carry her home."
When we reached our European home that Auntie received from my deceased mother, we carried our 'injured animal' into our large cellar that was more of a large lounge room that no one used, because Youichi's parents weren't able to look after him at this current time we were looking after him.
When I heard the news I was overjoyed, I have a small crush on him.
The next day
Mikan's POV
I woke up to see my cuts bandaged and I was lying on a comfy sofa that could easily be mistaken for a couch, I looked around the room to see the girl and boy from the other day,
"How long have I been out?" I asked.
"A week, how did you get those injuries?" The silver haired boy asked, I couldn't tell them the truth or they would probably get rid of me, but that might have been better for these nice people's safety.
I lowered my head so my golden bangs covered my eyes, the two looked at each other and decided that it was best to ask so they changed the subject which I was grateful for.
"What's your name?"
"Mikan..." I looked out the window and saw the Sakura trees billowing in the wind. "Sakura, Mikan Sakura."
"Nice to meet you Sakura-nee, this is Youichi Hijiri (Gumen if I spelt it wrong ;0) and I'm Aoi Hyuuga."
My head snapped up at the name Hyuuga, Hyuuga I've heard that before Oh well.
"How old are you, I'm eight," Aoi asked
"I'm eight and a half, so I'm older than this brat," Said You-chan jabbing his thumb at Aoi who pouted.
"Just cause your older than me by two months doesn't mean you can go raving on like your king and all." Aoi complained. I chuckled at their little fight, as one they turned their head to me and raised their eyebrow. My chuckle grew into a full on laugh for reasons I don't know.
"I'm... What's the date?" I asked.
"January the 2st,"You-chan replied.
"I'm twelve and one day." They both Sweatdropped. As we went on talking I became good friends with my little Kouhai's, months passed and I was kept a secret in their basement.
But when it comes to me all good things must end one way or another. This way was me sensing the presence of enemies in the area, so I grabbed some bandages because my healing Alice was stolen a long time ago, and dashed out the cellar door.
Then did the thing I never wanted to do, I stole Aoi's and Youichi's memory of me so until I gave it back they would never remember 'Mikan Sakura'.
End Of Flashback
Me and Aoi explained the whole story besides Aoi's crush and my fake name which Aoi and Youichi new was fake.
After our explanation was finished I walked out the door heading to the closest tree which happened to be a Sakura tree. I knew where to go because I passed it earlier, as I sat there my left leg swang from the branch I was sitting on I subconsciously put my hand on my lower stomach and fell into slumber.
