Chapter Twelve: Gentle Light

Light brightens the day, scares away darkness and helps you to see the person you love and to unveil hidden secrets. If there wasn't light, then everything would be covered in a cloack of black darkness, and you wouldn't be able to find your way back. You wouldn't be able to find the person you loved, and you would be lone forever, because if there was no light, who would lead you to the person you love the most?

"Natsume, pelase listen to me!" Aoi yelled, running after her brother who was storming off again, trying not to listen to what Aoi had to say. He would have to lock himself away just to get rid of her, and he was willing to do anything just to make Aoi shut up.

"I told you to leave, Aoi! Be a good girl and listen to me before I do soemthing I may regret in a few years' time!" Natsume hissed, glaring at his younger sister as she stared up at him, seeing how scary he was.

"No, because this is important. If you don't listen, you will lose Mikan forever!" she screamed, but Natsume was already walking away. Aoi growled, and stomped after him. She wished that she had longer legs to catch up with her brother so that she could grab hold of him and make him listen to her.

And then a thought crossed her mind. She didn't have long legs, but she knew someone who did...

"I'm going to kill you!" Natsume growled, held captive by Youichi as Aoi stood in front of him, grinning. She rolled her eyes at his threat, and took a dangerous step in front of her brother.

"Yeah, like you'll live out that promise." she muttered, then opened the book that showed the page entitled 'Love Potion', and Youichi forced Natsume to look at it. However, she couldn't stop Natsume from closing his eyes shut.

"Don't be a baby!" Aoi snapped. Natsume then opened his eyes again and glared at his sibling.

"You can't make me do anything. I'm done with that dust brained pixie, so don't try and get me to read about something to do with her!" he snarled as Aoi stared at him, then shook her head.

"Not even when she's in danger?" she asked quietly. That got his attention.

"What?" he muttered, his voice dark yet low. Aoi knew that he'd react. However, she'd been trying to tell him for nearly two days, and the only time he listened was when he had no choice, seeing as Youichi had caged him pretty much.

"Oh, so the prince finally listens?" she hissed, staring at her brother darkloy as he looked at his siter. She then shoved the book under his nose, and he decided to actually read it... well, the title.

"Love potions? What's this!?" Natsume snapped, and Aoi closed the book. She rested her hands on her hips, and nodded to Youichi, indicating that he could let go of Natsume who glared at the gardner coldly, then turned back to his sister.

"So what do love potions have to do with Mikan? Is she planning to poision that fruity prince?" Natsume asked bitterly. Aoi shook her head. Her brother was so petty.

"No, why would she? Kaname approached her, not the other way around... and the love potion is the poison that Mikan may have drunk." Aoi replied quietly. Natsume's eyes widened, due to the shock of this new piece of knowledge. He shook his head.

"You're lieing... I don't think anyone is stupid enough to drink a love potion." he sneered. Aoi shook her head,

"Willingly, no, but if you remember, Natsume, a Love potion, despite being purplish pink in colour, becomes the colour of the drink it is poured into, and is also odourless, making it an undetectable intoxicant. If Mikan has drunk this potion, she will be in a dream state, one which she can not control, and she will think she is in love with Prince Kaname, veiling over her true self, and bringing out someone who isn't Mikan, thus killing the true Mikan that we all know." Aoi explained. Natsume was listening intently, and he hated everything he heard.

And he realised that he should have listened to Aoi the minute she started talking, because if he had, then he would have been able to save Mikan a lot faster.

And when he finally realised that he did indeed need to save Mikan from this stupid fake love, he sprang up.

"What are we waiting for!?" he roared, and Aoi beamed, thankful to see her brother so energetic and ready to go, "We need to get to that fruity prince's kingdom!" he then rushed off as Aoi and Youichi followed, Youichi carrying Aoi, of course...

"What happens if no one notices the difference?" Mikan suddenly asked before they opened the large palace doors. Nobara gasped, remembering that Mikan had told her Luna had taken on the form of Mikan. Tsubasa and Misaki, however, looked confused.

"What do you mean, Mikan?" Misaki asked, and Mikan started to explain,

"Before I broke the spell, well, before I was even put under it, I met this Guardian Apprentice, Luna Koizuma, a girl from a rich family. However she wasn't the sort of faerie I thought she was..." Mikan stated, and then Nobara stepped in.

"She's a Dark Faerie. As are the rest of her family... they take on the forms of regular flower faeries to trick people. However for years they have tried to overtake the throne, but there has been no success... except for now." Nobara whispered. Mikan nodded, and then Nobara continued. "For years, Prince Kaname's father has actually been Luna's brother... and now, when Kaname marries the fake Mikan, Luna will dispose of him and then she and her brother will rule over the kingdom."

"Wait, Luna's brother is the King!?" Mikan cried, not knowing this crucial piece of information. Nobara nodded, sighing.

"Sadly, yes. Before you drank the love potion, I was going to warn you, but Luna and the King caught up with me, and revealed themselves before telling me of their plans and trapping me in the palace cellar... during the time I was asleep, I remembered that I had once before seen Luna and her family in their other forms, and that was why I was fired." she whispered. Mikan gasped. Throwing her arms around Nobara, she pulled her into a hug.

"Well, now that we know that these Dark Faeries can shape-shift and take on the form of someone else perfectly," Misaki stated, hands on her hips, "We need to find a way to prove that Mikan is the real Mikan." Mikan then smiled, and produced a ball of light.

"How about light? She's a Dark Faerie, meaning that they must only use dark magic!" Mikan cried out, and everyone agreed, then turned to stare at the door. The wedding was going to be held in the royal throne room, and if they didn't act fast, they wouldn't be stopping anything.

"Okay... let's go." Mikan whispered, nervous as she pushed open the large oak doors and walked through them, followed by her friends and Tono. Nobara smiled at Mikan, then took her hand gently in hers as Mikan blinked, then smiled back. Nobara hugged Mikan's arm gently,

"Even if they don't believe us... we all know you're the real Mikan, and you can prove it... because you're just as stubborn as Luna is." she whispered encouriginly as Mikan laughed, nodding. She agreed with Nobara - both she and Luna were stubborn, but Mikan could be even more stubborn if she tried...

"Now, if anyone objects to this couple marrying and living a life together filled with happiness and harmony, please, speak now." an elderly man asked as Luna stood there, the exact replica of Mikan, grinning and then changing her grin to a graceful, Mikan-like smile. She knew that no one would dare to speak up; they were too afraid of what Kaname wpould do, and Kaname was far too infatuated with Mikan to say anything. Well, he'd loved her for years, so he wouldn't do anything to ruin the wedding.

The elderly vocar looked around, and saw no objections.

"No, well, let us proceed..." he started, but he was rudely interrupted by the oak doors crashing against the walls, swung open as everyone turned, even Kaname and Luna, and they all looked in surprise.

"I OBJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT!" Tsubasa yelled, holding out a palm as Misaki shook her head, embarassed. Why her. Why did she have to be married to the one who had always wanted to say 'I object'. Tsubasa grinned, rather proud of himself. "I always wanted to do that." he admitted. Misaki groaned, then slapped her husband around the head.

"Idiot, this is serious!" she snapped. Everyone looked confused, then suddenly shocked when they saw another Mikan, except more dissheveled and less graceful looking than the other one.

"Mi-Mikan!?" Kaname cried, looking at the Mikan standing beside him and the Mikan who was at the doors, glaring at the other Mikan who looked a little shocked and horrified.

"That's not me, that's a fake!" Mikan yelled, pointing towards Luna who gasped, eyes wide and innocent, suddenly accused of being a 'fake'. The room was suddenly full of murmurs. Who was who?

"No, I'm not!" cried Luna, turning to Kaname, tears in her eyes. "Kaname, I'm not a fake! She is! She's a dark faerie! She tried to lock me away in my room so that she could marry you! You need to believe me!" Luna cried, tears staining the pretty face of Mikan's as Kaname looked at her, then back at the other Mikan.

He didn't know who to believe. Then Luna looked back at the other Mikan, and threw her a dark look before pointing at her.

"Look at her wings! They're torn and shattered, just like the wings of a dark faerie! That's the fake Mika- I mean me!" she cried out helplessly, clutching hold of Kaname's arm. He then stared closely at the real Mikan, and noticed that her wings were torn. He looked so close to believing Luna, and then Mikan took a step forward and acted,

"My wings are only torn because she tore them with her claws! She's the Dark Faerie, and I can prove it!" Mikan cried out, then held out her hands and smiled, "Produce a ball of light, Mikan, that is, if you can." Mikan started, but Luna just looked smug, however once she turned to Kaname, the sad face was back on.

"But Kaname has never seen me produce magic, and I never will again, because magic's so stupid! I just need my Kaname, and a field full of flowers!" Luna cried, and Mikan knew that she had got her there. Kaname had never seen her produce magic, meaning that she couldn't prove who she was through her ability to use the light spell. Mikan shook her head, she couldn't believe that she had thought it through...

If only Kaname had seen her produce magic just once.

"No! Mikan's losing!" Nobara criend quietly as Misaki and Tsubasa shook their heads, then, Misaki had anidea.

"Hey! Mikan can dance, right? You must have seen her dancing, Kaname!" Misaki cried out, and Kaname's eyes widened. He had of course seen Mikan dance many a time, ever since he was thirteen. He smiled at the memory, and Luna became infuriated that he was starting to believe the true Mikan because they were bringing up her dancing skills.

Mikan smiled, and hugged Misaki tightly. She hadn't thought of her dancing, and knew that because she had danced, Kaname had started to like her, even if she did have the Pixie Wings. Kaname then turned to Luna and smiled,

"Will you dance also, Mikan?" he asked, and Luna nodded, smiling gracefully before turning and walking down the aisle. Mikan walked towards Luna, staring at her enemy who just looked straight ahead, smiling. However, she was cursing Mikan and her friends inside.

"We will do the Dance of the Flower Faeries, a traditional dance in the Faerie Kingdom when it is the Crowning Ceremony... Is that okay?" Mikan asked, and Luna nodded. She threw Mikan a dark glare before preparing herself, and when some music suddenly started (courtesy of Misaki) the two girls stood close together, then started to dance, leaving the ground.

However there was one problem... Luna and Mikan were perfectly mimicking each other! Luna and Mikan were on the same level of dancing, and it shocked Mikan, but Luna was absolutely thrilled, because then it would be harder for Mikan to prove herself.

Whilst they were in the air, spinning around each other, Luna grinned.

"Idiot little Pixie," she hissed in a low voice, "Like you could get away with this! I'll take you down, and your filthy friends!" and then Luna leapt as Mikan leapt, and they stood there, glaring at each other for a second before Mikan did another leap, jumping over Luna who growled.

"I'm not letting you hurt my friends!" Mikan whispered, but before she could do anything else, Luna 'accidentally' tripped her, and bent a wing in the process, causing Mikan to fall from the air and onto the ground. Luna gasped, suddenly turning innocent.

"She tried to attack me!"she screamed as Mikan lay on the ground, a mass of dress and broken wings, brown locks sprawled across the floor. Luna grinned as she looked down whilst Kaname's eyes widened. Luna then flew down gracefully whilst Mikan slowly lifted herself with her hands, shaking and bruised, an absolute mess. She looked up at Luna who looked smug.

"Now let's see who believes this stupid pixie!" she thought to herself happily as Mikan blinked, feeling her tears sting at her eyes. She shook her head and stood up, still shaking. She wouldn't lose, not to Luna. She wouldn't let Luna destroy Kaname's happiness.

Kaname then walked towards the true Mikan, and Luna's eyes widened. She took him by the arm, stopping Kaname.

"Kaname, what are you doing? She'll hurt you!" Luna cried out, but Kaname just smiled and walked on as Luna watched, infuriated. How dare he ignore her wishes!

Kaname then stopped in front of Mikan who stared at him, blinking back her tears as he looked at her. He stood a bit away from her, but close enough so that she could hear him.

"Leave this kingdom... I don't want you here, ruining my wedding day. If you have some good in you, then you will do as I say, and let me be happy with Mikan. Will you do that for me?" he asked, and Mikan was shocked as Luna nearly squealed with delight. Kaname had believed her, and not the real Mikan. Mikan's eyes widened as she stood there, shocked.

"Kaname... why?" she whispered, the tearsspilling down her cheeks. Luna was winning, and Mikan didn't want that to happen.

"You're not Mikan... the Mikan I know is kind and helpless, not stubborn and strong-headed. Please leave, and nothing bad will happen to you, I promise." he stated as Mikan blinked, shaking her head. Why was this happening? What had she done to make him believe Luna?

Mikan was ready to walk away when Misaki suddenly stepped in, glaring at Kaname.

"Then you don't know the real Mikan!" she yelled, and Kaname was stunned, as was Mikan. She stared up at Misaki who narrowed her eyes at the fake Mikan, and then back to Kaname who looked nervous and out of place.

"Of course I do! I've spent a week with her, that's enough time to get to know someone!" he cried out, but Misaki shook her head. She didn't believe him.

"No it isn't! And anyway, you knew the poisoned Mikan, the one infused with Love Potion! That's the Mikan who is helpless, not the real Mikan! The Mikan I know is stubborn, strong-willed, strong-headed, easily angered and truthful! Not the fake Mikan over there!" Misaki barked. Mikan's eyes widened. She knew she was all of those things Misaki said, but it was weird to hear them aloud, especially from one of her friends. Then, Misaki smiled.

"But above all she's kind, warm and like the sun. She lights up our lives, makes us happy, and we make her happy... you can't find that out within a week. It took about a year to find these things out, but we did, because we noticed her, and we listened. But you didn't... did you?" Misaki whispered as Kaname stood there, then shook his head.

"This is an outrage! I do not wish to hear more! Please, leave the palace and my kingdom at once!" he cried out. Misaki sighed, head in hand as she shook her head. Mikan then turned to Misaki and smiled.

"Thank you. At least someone believes me." she whispered as Misaki smiled, then wrapped an arm around Mikan's shoulder and watched as Kaname walked towards Luna who was hugging his arm like a helpless puppy, and glaring towards Mikan and her friends darkly. Misaki shook her head again.

"I can't believe this... he doesn't even believe us, and we're the people who know you the most. Well, other than your mother, of course." she whispered, and turned around as Mikan stood there, staring towards Kaname. Then she smiled.

"Prince Kaname, I will leave." she suddenly yelled, and everyone looked at her, surprised, and then they saw her smile gently, which surprised them even more. Kaname looked confused,

"You will?" he asked, and Mikan nodded before curtseying to him, and she slowly walked towards him. Luna's eyes widened and she hid behind Kaname.

"Keep her away from me!" Luna shreiked as Mikan walked up to Kaname and stood in front of him. She smiled, no more tears, just a happy, dissheveled girl standing before him, looking like a beautiful disaster.

"Of course I will leave... because I don't belong here. I never have." she told him. Luna gasped, and the King's eyebrows raised as Kaname stared at Mikan, still confused.

"You haven't?" he asked, and Mikan nodded, then lifted her palms together as she smiled.

"Once upon a time in a far away land, there was a pixie princess who wanted acceptance, and instead found something much more wonderful. She found her true self, and someone to love her." Mikan said loudly and clearly. Luna's eyes panned out even more, and then Mikan closed her eyes before opening them again.

"That is the start of a story. A Faerie Tale, if you wish. A Faerie Tale my mother wrote, and just like her, I am writing my own story, but to finish it, I need to find my Happily Ever After. I thought that staying here for a week would help me to finish that story, and I was willing to marry Prince Kaname just to gain that happy ending. However I realised something... happiness doesn't always come love. It comes with friendship and acceptance, and here in this kingdom I found out that I don't need to marry for my Happily Ever After. I don't need a palace or riches, I just need love. The love of my friends, and the love of someone special... and that special someone helped me to bloom a year ago." Mikan smiled, remembering the day she had bloomed, and she looked up, then turned back to Kaname.

"You may be sweet and kind and true, Prince Kaname, but you aren't difficult or stubborn, and you don't make me smile when I am down. You don't light my path when there is darkness, and you don't make fun of me. I never have, and never will, love you." she stated. Luna then pushed past Kaname and glared at Mikan,

"She's an imposter! Kaname, I love you, I would never love another! She's just shown that she's an imposter!" screeched the girl as Mikan stood there, tall and smiling. then closed her eyes and opened them again, a sphere of gentle light emitting in her hands.

"Staying here for a week... it was like forever. But I know that it takes forever to realise how much you know a person, and a week was all it took me to realise that I never belonged here. I once wished to belong here, to be accepted by the Flower Faeries, because I love flowers, I'm part flower faerie, after all, but... you made me realise that I can't live within a kingdom where my friends aren't." Mikan whispered, then lifted her hands, and the small sphere of light suddenly started to glow brilliantly.

"What are you doing!?" demanded Luna, stomping a foot as Mikan stood there, hands held high.

"If that person who helped me bloom a year ago by just being there, then I can bloom again, and restore my wings." she whispered, then faced Kaname fully and smiled brightly, "And the reason why I will leave has been staring me in the face all along. As I said, I never have belonged here... my home is the Wizarding Kingdom."

"But you're a faerie." Kaname whispered, and Luna's eyes looked like they were about to pop out, "There is no place for a faerie in a kingdom filled with wizards... haven't I told you that before, Mikan?" he asked. Mikan shook her head, and brought her hands down to show him the glorious light.

"You have. But even though I appear to be a faerie on the outside, forever inside, I am a Wizard. I am a Faerie Wizard." she whispered, and then she threw the ball of light into the air, and it burst, filling the entire room with gentle light as everyone gasped. Misaki, Tsubasa, Nobara and Tono looked up at the light in wonder as it sprinkled over everyone. Luna then started to shriek, as did many other flower faeries, and when the light finally faded away, everyone knew why.

The light had suddenly revealed the true forms of everyone inside the room; Luna, her brother and the Koizuma family members were suddenly returned to their original forms, and everyone gasped when they saw Luna standing next to Kaname, wearing the wedding dress, but in her grey-tinged, shattered winged form. Kaname turned, and his eyes widened as he stepped back.

And then everyone turned to look at Mikan, where the light had stayed, glowing around her gently as she stood there, staring at Kaname as Misaki, Tsubasa and Nobara's eyes widened when they saw her wings;

Mikan's wings had been restored, but they weren't the same Pixie Wings Mikan originally had... they were wings that were large, powerful and beautiful. They were the wings of Light.

"Mikan has Elemental wings!" Misaki whispered in a surprisingly shocked voice, barely believing it as Mikan stood there, then turned her head and gasped, seeing her wings, transparent gold and glittering, a gentle light emitting from each wing. She had brought out her true wings...

And then her eyes widened when she saw Nobara.

"Nobara... you have... Angel Wings!?" Mikan cried out, running towards Nobara who blinked, then saw her large, feathery white wings and cried out, shcoked. She didn't know how she had obtained them, but they were there... Angel wings!

"It looks like Mikan used the spell called Light of Truth." whispered Misaki as Tsubasa stared at the two girls with their new wings. Nobara didn't know what to say or do, she was far too stunned. Mikan blinked, then realised something.

"You're like me... you must be a part of my family... you're of Angel heritage, just like me! But you... you were here along, so no one would have known, because Flower Faeries all have Pixie wings." Mikan whispered as Nobara stood there, shaking her head.

"How... none of my other family grew these wings." Nobara whispered as Mikan smiled, then hugged Nobara closely, tears falling from the outer corners of her eyes.

"Angel wings come to those pure of heart, those who are selfless and think of others, and you are that way. You have always been an Angel." Mikan whispered as Nobara cried, and Mikan hugged her tightly again.

And then Luna screamed, and everyone turned to stare at the imposter.

"How dare you! How dare you ruin everything!" she suddenly screamed, running head long towards Mikan who turned around, eyes wide. However before Luna could attack, claws out at the ready, something shielded Mikan and Luna was thrown back into the furthest wall. Everyone gasped as Nobara stood in front of Mikan, glaring at Luna.

"Don't touch her! I won't let you kill another loved one, Luna! Haven't you done enough already!?" Nobara cried out. Luna's family all looked angry, but Luna looked murderous.

"How dare you!" she snarled, standing up and walking towards Nobara in long strides, angered, bruised and ready to claw Nobara. "I should have disposed of you years ago, just like your pathetic family!" she screamed as Nobara stood her ground, glaring at her.

"They weren't pathetic! They were innocent and you killed them all! How could you!?" Nobara screamed back as Luna stood there, grinning. She threw her head back, and started to laugh loudly.

"Because I can! Do you think us Dark Faeries live off of nothing!? Every few thousand years, we need to eat something, and the thing we enjoy the most is Angels, so it was kind of easy to get your family, especially after you found out something you shouldn't have!" Luna screeched. Nobara's eyes widened, and she took a fearful step back.

"Angels... but my family weren't Angels!" she cried. Luna laughed again,

"You were, and your wings are the proof! You're not like Mikan, you're a full Angel, pure of blood! You just didn't reveal yourselves in fear of being taken away from the Faerie kingdom! For centuries, Angels have lived alongside us faeries, too afaid to show their true selves, seeing as Angels left us centuries ago when we had a war with them... oh, wait! That was the war we started!" Luna cried out giddily. Nobara glared at her,

"Why are you saying all this, when everyone is listening and can get rid of you and your horrible family!?" Nobara asked coldly. Luna grinned, taking a dangerous step forward,

"Because Dark Faeries are more powerful, and we can get rid of you all very easily." she hissed, and with a click of her fingers, all the Dark Faeries rose to the air as Nobara's eyes widened. Mikan then ran out from behind her, and produced a ball of light that glowed brightly, throwing it into the air and blinding the Dark Faeries who screamed and hissed above eberyone as Nobara and Mikan's eyes widened.

"How dare you! You've caused enough problems, you Pixie Winged idiot!" Luna screamed, getting up and stomping towards Mikan, suddenly fearing for her life as a growing dark ball formed in Luna's clawed hands. She squeezed her eyes shut, and clasped her hands together, praying for a iracle.

And then Luna was thrown back forcefully, crashing to the ground...
