Stand in the Rain belongs to Superchick (Awesome song!)

Well… From what my poll has, looks like Nobara and Ruka are going to be a couple!

What happened right before this new chapter:

Why am I crying? Stop crying! Stop crying Nobara…thought Nobara. Then a man suddenly appeared. Nobara gasped at the man. He's here!Nobara thought.

"Nobara Ibaragi… Come to me… You have a new mission and you must come with me immediately…" said the man. His voice was silky yet dark. Nobara looked at the man sadly and reluctantly put on a mask of a pale blue face. "Yes… Come with me Ice Princess…" said the man again in the same silky yet dark voice…

"Coming Masked One…" replied Nobara. The Masked One held out his hand for Nobara to hold. He was wearing many rings, but if you were an Alice than you'd know what they are. They were all alice suppressions to stop his alice from going out of control and to help him not getting called that one name again… Nobara reluctantly toke his hand and they disappeared…

To Mikan:

"GRRRRR! I hate those guys! I am totally going to tell Otou-chan that Natsume and Ruka-nee-chan don't get along!" said Mikan in an angry tone. But when she looked to one of the walls in her room, she said "No… I shouldn't tell Otou-chan… Natsume would be my 7th bodyguard then…" whispered Mikan softly. "This SUCKS!!!" screamed Mikan.

Mikan started to walk around her room, and then she stopped when her eyes fell on a picture. Okaa-chan… Otou-chan… Mikan thought. Her mother, Yuka Izumi died in a car crash when Mikan was 13, 5 years after her real father Yukihira Izumi died from getting shot in the heart. A year after that, Yuka started dating Narumi Sakura, Mikan's current father. Yuka and Naru got married after 2 years of dating. Mikan toke some time adjusting to the new "step father" concept but now Naru and Mikan act like they are blood related father and daughter.

Mikan started walking around again but she stopped again at a certain drawer. She opened it and toke out a binder that had the words: "Songs by Aoi Nogi and Mikan Sakura." That book held a really strong significance for Aoi and Mikan, without those songs they might have not even become friends! She opened to the index and saw this:

She then went to "Part 2, page 14" and saw the lyrics to Stand in the Rain; she went to her bed, sat down and held the book close to her heart and started to sing Stand in the Rain.

Mikan: She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain

Mikan placed the book down delicately and laid down on to her bed with her eyes closed, hoping that none of her tears will fall. She breathed in and out and tried to calm herself down. Okaa-chan… Otou-chan… Mikan thought before she fell asleep…

Mikan's Dream

"Okaa-chan! Otou-chan! Where are you?" shouted Mikan in her dream. Mikan was running aimlessly in the darkness, wondering if she could ever get out or even find her parents. "Where are you Okaa-chan, Otou-chan?" shouted Mikan. No response. "Aoi? Ruka-nee-chan? Nobara? Anyone?" shouted Mikan again. There was still no response

Mikan stopped running to catch her breath. She started walking not running but then someone jumped on her! It looked like a girl her about her age, with short purple hair and has eyes like amethysts or purple topazes. (Who's that girl? Lemme give you a hint. She simply loves money and blackmailing!)

"Find me Mikan… Save me from the AAO… Save Youichi from the AAO…" said the girl with purple hair and amethysts eyes. Mikan gave her a confused look but another person jumped on her again! It was a boy perhaps a year older than her? He had silver hair stopping at his shoulders and he has eyes like a pair of moonstones but his eyes were a bit darker than moonstones.

"Mikan-nee-san… Help me and my onee-chan escape from the AAO…" said the boy who has silver hair and who has eyes that are a bit darker than moonstones.

"What?" said Mikan in a confused tone. She was about to reach out to touch the purple haired girl but then the darkness sucked them back in but the girl managed to say this before leaving Mikan: "Hurry Mikan… Save me and my little brother from the AAO…" Then when Mikan looked around, the darkness began to fade…

"Help me!" shrieked Mikan. The darkness may have started to fade but it creep closer to her, enveloping her in darkness.

Mikan looked frantically around her to see if she could be set free. No use. The darkness that was enveloping her was already at her neck. Her arms and legs were immobilized. Somehow she couldn't move her neck either! Her eyes were filled with fear.

"Okaa-chan! Otou-chan! Someone! Help meeeee!" shouted Mikan. But her cries got her no where. Tears started to fill in her eyes. She closed her eyes to see if her tears will drop and they did. But once her tears touched the darkness that was enveloping her, (The darkness was already at her chin at this point.) the darkness disappeared...

"Eh…?" said Mikan. Then Mikan could feel someone's hot breath on her neck.

"Kyaaa!" shouted Mikan. The person behind her grabbed her by the waist, Mikan struggling to get free but then the person whispered in Mikan's ear that sent the chills down her spine: "Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to protect you..."

End of Mikan's dream

"Eh…?" said Mikan. She was lying in her bed; her book was on the ground. That was all a dream… Mikan thought. She got up, did a few stretches and opened the door to her room. She popped her head out of the door to see if there was anyone home. She figured that everyone has gone home so she went to the kitchen to get some food to eat but when she entered the kitchen she saw…
