Mikan's P.O.V

Warm. Im so warm. These pair of arms are so familiar. These scent…the scent of cologne and warmth. They hold me down, pinning me to sanity. Pinning me down to reality. I don't think…I don't think that these arms are Ace's. They cant be Jake's, because he always sleeps with just one arm around me. Kain sleeps back to back with me. Kai always keeps his hand on my stomach. Knight keeps his hands behind his head. Scarlett's arms aren't this strong and to small. Rei's feel different then this, and his hand is usually petting my head.

These arms are so familiar, but I know that the person im thinking of absolutely cant be here. Natsume wont ever see me again. There is no way he could follow me. Its been over 2 years since I saw him….my love…the man I used to love, Natsume Hyuuga is long gone. Natsume Hyuuga has forgetten me. Natsume Hyuuga no longer loves me. He….never did.

I had to defeat this illusion.

Its not real.

He's gone.

Just..just get out of bed without opening your eyes and walk out of this room, because tonight when you come back to sleep, nothing will be there.

Nothing and no one.

I kept my eyes closed as I abruptly sat up and yanked myself out of the imaginary arms and ran out of the room. I gently closed the door.

'Breath, Mika, breath. He's not real. Your sanity cant be shaken by things like that. FORGET HIM. FORGET EVER KISS AND HUG. FORGET EVERY 'I LOVE YOU' FORGET EVERYTHING, AND LIVE THE REST OF YOUR PATHETIC LIFE, BECAUSE WITH EVERY USE OF YOUR Alice, YOUR DYING….' I whisper to myself. The tears I refused to let myself cry, sluggishly made there way down my cheeks. Immediately, as if I had called out for her, Scarlett came out of her room and wrapped her arms around me.

"Oh, honey, lets go to my room," she murmers in my ear. She leads me to her room and sits me down on her bed.

"You..loved him, didn't you. I mean, you said he was your ex boyfriend, but…there was something more between you, wasn't there?" she asked. In the moment, I looked over the fact that she seemed to know it was about Natsume. That should have been my first warning sign.

"I love him…I used to love him. He was…everything to me. We had went through so much together. When I was captive…he found me.. And he promised that he would rescue me and take me away. Then he practically proposed to me… we where skin tight. Then.. In the blink of an eye, he threw it away. He threw me away. And the sad thing is…" I choked up a little at this. "I always knew I wasn't good enough for him." I say.


Scarlett's P.O.V

In the beginning, when she was telling me about the happy memeories of the past, she got this light in her eyes. The empty hazel holes, to put in simplest terms, came alive. Usually, her face was stocic, unless she was truly happy, or she was playing pranks on the boys. But this was the first time I had ever seen her eyes sparkling like this.

"You.. Still love him, don't you?" I ask.

"No…of course not…I..don't love him…." she says, her forehead creasing. She tried to look the other way, but I grabbed her chin.

"Mika. Look at me. don't you dare lie to me." I say to her, looking into her hazel eyes.

"I…no… I've tried to stop. I have tried to forget him. But I cant. Ever time I wake up from a nightmare, it takes everything in me not to cry out for him. He was always there for me. I woke up next to him and fell asleep in his arms. Yes, I love him, but I will never go back to him. It doesn't matter what. I wont let myself be hurt," she says to me.

I want to tell her so bad. I want to tell her that her old companions are here. But I just cant seem to find it in me to do so.

"Mika, we will always be there for you. No matter what happens, okay? So lets go get breakfast," I say in an attempt to distract her. She doesn't really seem like she wants to, she seems to want to go to bed, but I know that she will find whats-his-face nat-something her ex boyfriend.

"Its pancakes, and what goes best with pancakes?" I ask, smiling.

"Howalon, I mean cotton candy!" she says, giving me a small smile.

Lets hope that those dumb ass boys don't mention anything about her old friends or nat-whats-his-face.


Natsume's P.O.V

My warmth is gone, and my arms are empty. don't tell me it was all a sick delusion. If it is, then I know that I have officially lost it. I know that I have barely any time left before my heart stops beating from sadness and self despair. I open my eyes in an unfamiliar room. Her scent lingers on the comforter and pillows. Yes, indeed, my beloved has been here.

I get out of bed and grab my cell phone out of my pants pocket, which was on the floor by the bed, and call Ruka.

"Hey, Ruka, what door am I in, when does class start, and in what room is our classroom in, and are you all alright?" I ask.

"We are all fine. You are special star, which is different from Mikan's rank, and your dorm is SS16, our class room is 32A, and class starts in about an hour. How is she?" he asks.

"I don't know she isn't here. Im going out to see her. Tell Hotaru ill make sure to give her a kiss in her name," I say, then I hang up.

I get my old clothes on, and walk out. I follow the sound of voices until I reach a dining room. There I see all of them seated at a table, plates loaded with bacon, eggs, and pancakes. In the middle of the table there are things of peanut butter, jelly, butter, and a bag of…Howalon? God, Mikan, really? I see her sitting at the table, facing me, eating her pancakes and Howalon. I know that the second that she takes a bit of that sugary crap, she goes into her happy place. I walk into the room, ignoring the stares from her friends and come up behind her. Mikan, like expected, is completely oblivious to my presence. I go up behind her swirl her chair around and watch the shock register in her eyes before I crash my lips onto hers, that taste of sugar and strawberries.


Ace's P.O.V

So the sleeping bastard finally woke up. I watch him as he stares at her before suddenly walks across the room, swirls an oblivious Mikan around, and kisses her.

THAT

BASTARD

IS

KISSING

MY

Mika.


Jake P.O.V

OMG HE'S KISSING HER. THAT IS SO EMBARRESSING. So I hide under the table.


Kai's P.O.V

I have seen Kain kiss a lot of girls, and yes its discuisting, but couldn't he at least have the decency to wait until I was done eating. I swear im going to puke.


Kain's P.O.V

Ohh la la, that boys got guts. Kissing a wild kitty cat like her is like wallking into a hungy lions den. I have a new respect for that poor dead man.


Knight's P.O.V

Ew. I never thought that I would have to watch the girl that I think of as a sister being kissed by a guy…. WAIT. My little sister is being FORCIBLY kissed by a guy THAT WE BARELY NO. I would totally move to kick his ass, but the situation is so embarrassing and the fact that the girl im in love with is right next to me, I cant seem to move….


Scarlett's P.O.V

Well at least he has guts. Maybe I will be an aunt soon…..


Hotaru's P.O.V

We found her. This is our new home, and even though we have a lot to do, I know that in the end it will be worth it. Friendship is all about fighting for each other.

I get up and dressed and go wake up Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire.

"I don't want to get up. Were all 3 stars, don't we get to sleep in," says Nonoko as she covers her head with her pillow.

"Don't make me use my baka gun," I say. At the very thought of that all of them shutter and quickly make a beeline for there separate closets.

I walk out into the hallway and take out my phone.

"Hey, Ruka, do you just want to meet out in front of the classroom?" I ask.

"No, Im almost done getting ready, so I will meet you out in front of your building, 'kay babe?" he asks.

"Yeah, sounds good to me," I say.

"Love you," he says. I hang up my phone on him as my answer. Yes, bunny boy and I are dating. Around a year ago he confessed his undying love for me (his words not mine) and for some spur of the moment reason, I said yes. Well, if you didn't hint the sarcasm usedd, im just joking. I love Ruka. Even if he is fun to blackmail.

All the girls get ready and we meet Ruka outside. He takes my hand, and we walk towards the main building where we are so post to meet a teacher.

"Oh my goodness, you guys are absolutely adorable," says a brunette with pigtails and hot pink, yes hot pink, eyes. She smiles brightly at all of us.

"And you are?" Ruka asks.

"Oh, I am terribly sorry, my name is Sarah Smith, your teacher. Miss smith sounds much to formal so please just call me Sarah," she says.

Dear god, what did I do wrong? I get away from one complete imbecile pedofile and what do I get? A COMPLETE NAÏVE IDOIT.

"Well lets go to your new class," she says as she skips away. She leads us to our new class and into the room.

"Class, these are the new students." she says sweetly. Someone throws a paper at her face. She acts as though nothing happens.

"Now Ruka and Hotaru can sit together. So can Anna and Nonoko. And then Koko and Sumire. Does that sound okay to you guys?" she asks.

"What about Natsume?" Ruka asks. She tilts her head in confusion.

"He is a special star," I say. Her face clears of confusion.

"Does he have black hair and red eyes? If so, then he will be late, and come very beaten up," she says.

"How do you know that?" Koko asks.

"I see the future," she chirps. "And I can see a very mad Principle if im late for my meeting, so goodbye my adorable students," she says as she runs out the door. All of us sit down and ignore all those around us.

Time to wait for Natsume.


Mikan's P.O.V

I forgot what it felt like to be kissed by him. I forgot all the electricity that surged through us, always amazing me that I wasn't dead from my heart stopping. It was like jamming a fork into a outlet. Then I realized how much I had missed this, no matter how wrong it was.

Yes, it WAS wrong. I pushed him away from me.

"Don't touch me, and don't ever kiss me again," I hiss.

You want to know what he did. He grabbed my wrists so I couldn't push him away and kissed me again.

So I kicked him where it hurts the most. The was on the ground, curled up in a ball. I punched him in the face and slapped his other cheek.

"Don't. Touch. Me." I say. And I walk away.
