[SORRY for the late update. But I was going through a lot this past week, anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's what some of you were asking for.. But it's short & sweet. I'll try and update it again today if I have time, or tomorrow at the latest. But anyways ENJOY! :D

Ps. Trying out this "POV" stuff, so bare with me.]


Natsume's POV

I was nervous when I stepped into this room, and so was Ruka. I could see it on his face. But who knows what to believe with Narumi. I easily recognized everyone in the room immediately. There was that damn shadow kid, Tsubasa. And both Noda and Serina we're just smiling when I made eye contact.

"So whats the meaning of this?" I glanced over at Narumi waiting for an answer. As if he would share any more information..

"Well Natsume-kun, Ruka-kun. We decided as a group, it's time we check on our little friend." He raised an eye brow as he walked over to Noda.

"You mean?" Ruka eagerly asked.

"There's a lot going on right now, but we're not 100% sure she can come back at the moment." Noda replied.

They all glanced at me, and Ruka was excited as ever.

"You mean.. Why didn't you tell me this sooner? And if you know me and Ruka were snooping around.. You could have damn told us!" I was furious! They kept this big secret from us for a long time?.

"Now, Natsume-kun. You heard what that man just said a while ago. Now this room is protected by a barrier. There's no way he could hear what's going on in here right now, and frankly.. You guys are too much of a liability right now. Imai-chan and her brother are still missing. There's only so much we can share. But we agreed, now is the best time." That cheerful damn blonde just smiled, as if I haven't been through enough already.

I don't care, I just want her by my side. These people have no idea how painful these past few years were. How many times I cried myself to sleep. I even put Ruka through so much. Pain he didn't even deserve. I looked over at Ruka who was probably more concerned about me than I am of him at this moment.

"Now is any good as ever. Think about it! You aren't the only one who wishes to see Sakura. Every one in this room shares a bond with her." Ruka put his hand on my shoulder and I could see he was trying to hold tears back.

I looked over at everyone who was waiting for my approval, I finally just nodded. I noticed Shadow just smiling and giving me a peace sign. He must be waiting to see her too. I than finally realized, It wasn't just me who was upset about her not being here. I was being selfish. I felt a little sad, but than Noda began to explain that Narumi had sent two messengers over to Mikans house, that said to meet her "destiny" at the park after dark. He than continued that we would be traveling through a time vortex. Apparently we would be arriving half an hour early than the noted time Mikan would be at the park.. If she even agreed to go, she's such an air head sometimes.


Mikans POV

Out of the three of us, I believe Bear was having the most fun! He's so cute. Jou-kun looks like he's having just as much fun as Bear. Oh god, I almost forgot why we were even here!

"Jo-kun, What time is it?" I eagerly asked as I stopped the swing.

"9:45pm." He simply replied, he was still swinging.

"We've been here for 45 minutes? I couldn't even tell, hehe" I giggled but I scanned the park, where are these so called people? If it was a prank, It was a really good prank! Those two men got me so nervous.

Bear pulled my hair, I could tell he wanted to keep swinging.

"Bear, I think it's time we head back. Ji-chan could be up any minute. I think 45 minutes is a long enough time to wait." Bear looked down as I said that. Than Jou-kun jumped off the swing and came to comfort Bear.

"Don't worry Bear, we can play again tomorrow!" He patted his head.

"Thanks Jou-kun!" I replied for Bear as I smiled.

"Could have been a prank you know?" Jou-kun said as he ran to grab our jackets on a bear by bench.

"I was just thinking that, but those two men looked official.. I mean in fancy suits? Who does that?" I was confused more than ever now. Just thinking about being confused, made me more confused.

"Haha, Sakura-san. Are you alright?" Jou-kun laughed as he handed me my jacket.

"Oh shut up, I was just in serious thought." I put on my jacket, but as I did. The most strangest thing happened.

I heard voices, several voices from the distance. I looked at Jou-kun, who looked like he noticed them first. He whispered to me, "Pretend, we don't know hear them. And just keep walking."

That made me so nervous. Pretend? Me? Uhh.. I than started to laugh. Which wasn't really a laugh, by the look of Jou-kuns expression. He tried making me move. But I didn't know what else to do. All of a sudden there's weirdos talking in the bushes. Sounds like they're arguing?

Jo-kun than started to shove me, I was still laughing. I mean what else am I gonna do? I'm so scared..

Than another strange thing happened, sounded like one of them said my name? I turned around towards the bushes and I could see several outlines of people. Jo-kun than stepped infront of me, and actually yelled out to them. Oh god, now I'm even more scared.


Natsumes POV

Narumi grabbed my shoulders, I was trying to run over there damn it! Who is that guy with Mikan? How can she just laugh like an idiot? Didn't she know she was meeting us? meeting- Oh right, her memories of me no longer exist..

I don't care, I just want to look at her closely, Ruka was telling me to stop. Saying we couldn't just barge in on her and her friend like that. But what the hell. Serina-sensei said she was alone. Did this guy just follow her?

Than everyone went quiet. I could hear Mikan laughing like a complete idiot so I turned around.

They were both looking at us.
