A/N: Chapter...12? Coming up! ;3 Three reviews...omg Dx

Chapter 12

"Mikan..." the voice went quiet. Mikan opened her eyes that were once closed; she was afraid to confront the person.

"..Mother..." she whispered. Mikan remembered the time when Noda-sensei, her Special Ability teacher, took Hotaru, Natsume, Ruka, and herself to the past; where Yuka herself was a student at Alice Academy. It wasn't but a week ago. The memory flashed before her mind.

FLASHBACK

"We'll travel back in time, where your mother and father met Mikan," Noda-sensei confirmed. "All of you hold on to my hand and don't let go. If you do, you'll be warped at a different time zone and you could be lost forever."

Mikan, Natsume, Ruka, and Hotaru latched their hands on Noda's shirt. Noda began to close his eyes, and remember the date when Yuka and Mikan's father first met.

"We're off, hold on tight!"

"MIKAN!" a feminine voice shouted with agony.

Everyone but Mikan turned around to see a clear view of Mikan's mother, rushing towards them with tears in her eyes. Mikan slowly looked behind her to see a faded vision of Yuka. Before they truly teleported Mikan whispered, "Mother..."

END OF FLASHBACK

She knew their past. She knew what happened to them during their days in the academy. After she saw all of that, she felt guilty when she said she'll never go with someone that hurt her friends. A part of her still believes that. Before she could break out of her thought, she felt a warm embrace.

"Mikan...my beloved daughter..." Yuka cried out trying to restrain her tears. "You look so grown up now; I miss you so much..."

Mikan's knees began to go weak and hugged her mother. Ever since she was little, she always gazes up upon the stars, thinking about her parents.

"Grandpa," Mikan tugged her grandpa's kimono. "Where are my parents?"

"They are in the sky Mikan," he said. "Always watching over you,"

"Really? Sugoi!" Mikan look upon the stars, making a wish to see them once more in the future.

RINGG RINGG! BEEP BEEEP

An alarm suddenly came off. It both shocked Yuka and Mikan. Yuka hugged her only and only precious daughter tight before she let her go.

"You and your friends have to get out of here," she said. She walked over the fainted Nobara and touched her forehead slightly. Nobara's eyes began to open slowly and the strength within her came back. Mikan was amazed. Even though she inherited the Stealing Alice from her mother, she's inspired that her mother uses her Alices for good.

"Nobara-chan!" Mikan cried and hugged the ice princess.

"M-Mikan-chan!" Nobara returned the embrace.

Yuka gave out a small smile at the two, barely noticeable if you were to do a close up on her face. She clenched her fists.

"There's not much time!" she said. "I'll make a portal and get you two out of here!"

"WAIT!" Mikan screamed. "Natsume is still here! I don't want to leave him especially in his condition!"

Yuka was shocked but refrained the emotion to come into view. She doesn't know what to do. Reo must not know that she's helping them or he'll...carry out on the plan. She had no choice but to use her Alice once more.

"Mikan..." she whispered. "Here...take this Alice and save your friend. I'll give you the Teleportation Alice Stone as well. There's not much time left, I'll go and try to handle things around here."

Mikan nodded numbly and took the two Alice stones from her mother's hand. She closed her eyes and put the Alice stones close to her heart. Eventually, the Alice stones began to move and were drawn into her body, her heart. That's how the Stealing Alice goes. If you wish to use the Alice you have stolen, you must have the Alice Stone inside of you so no one can steal it back from you.

"One more thing," Yuka said. "When you go back to Alice Academy, go a few steps to the north of the Sakura Tree. You'll see something very surprising." She ran off but Mikan saw a tear and a sad smile before her mother disappeared from her vision.

"Nobara-chan." Mikan whispered.

"Yes?"

Suddenly Nobara began to fade.

"M-Mikan-chan!?"

"I don't want to see you hurt ever again because of me Nobara-chan," Mikan boldly said. "Go to the Alice Academy! And tell Narumi and the others about this! I'm sorry!"

Nobara completed faded from the view and was now teleported back to the Alice Academy. It'll bring pain to Mikan's heart when she sees a close friend risking their life for her. They've done that alot now she's returning the favor and risking her life for them. She ran aimlessly around the corridor where they were kidnapped, thinking of what the other Alice was that her mother gave her. Suddenly, the thought of using the Teleportation Alice came to mind and she literally slapped herself for being stupid. She closed her eyes and tried to picture the room that Natsume and her was once in.

Dark...

Rusty...

Smells like blood...

Natsume...

She reopened her eyes when black greeted her. Everything looks exactly like when she first woke up in the place. She heard deep panting and she look beside her to see Natsume in his pool of blood and nearly on the verge of death.

"NATSUME!" she cried and held him into her arms. She didn't care of the blood that was leaking on her school uniform. "Natsume...I'm sorry..."

"Mi...kan..." a slight pant called out her name.

"Natsume!?" Mikan said in shock. She looked at Natsume whose eyes were nearly half opened, crimson eyes staring at her. He looked so helpless and could die in any minute if she keeps sitting there doing nothing.

"Don't worry Natsume...I'll get us out of here," she whispered.

BANG!

The door was kicked open.

Men in black formal uniform and sunglasses came with guns. Mikan was furious. Without knowing it, she unleashed the Alice that her mother gave her. It gave out a strong light. The Alice was...

Fire.

"STAY AWAY!" She yelled. The flames around her and Natsume began to expand. The men were shocked and afraid that they dropped their guns and ran away before they were burned. The flames soon burned down and left Mikan almost fainting. 'Is this how Natsume feels every time he overuses his Alice?' she thought. Before she completely fainted with Natsume, she teleported them out of the area, before things got worse.

Three weeks has gone by and both Mikan and Natsume are feeling better. Mikan was able to teleport both of them in front of the Sakura Tree where Hotaru and Iinchou just passed by. Both of them got worried to death and called the teachers for help. Natsume was carefully treated in another room while Mikan was treated in another. Both of them never opened their eyes for 3 weeks straight. Their friends got seriously worried and they always stop by the hospital to check up on them. Now they are perfectly normal and healthy in exception of a few bandages wrapped around them.

"Hotaru!" Mikan called and hugged her worried best friend. "I miss you!"

"Baka." Hotaru replied coldly. "You nearly got me worried, don't ever do that again."

"I'm sorry, but I'm still here right?"

Hotaru gave Mikan a smile which caused Mikan to be so happy that she nearly choked her best friend.

BAKA!

"Don't push the limits." Hotaru said pulling out her Baka gun.

Mikan held her head and just smiled at Hotaru.

They went their separate ways since Hotaru had to attend an important meeting where Mikan could not come with her. She instead began walking towards the Sakura Tree.

When you go back to Alice Academy, go a few steps to the north of the Sakura Tree. You'll see something very surprising.

She nearly forgot her mother's words. She dashed to the Sakura Tree and a certain raven-haired boy came to view. He noticed her presence when Mikan called out his name.

"Natsume! Are you alright?" she asked.

"Hn." Natsume replied as usual.

"Hmph, you could've answered yes or no."

She then passed the raven-haired boy and went straight north from the Sakura Tree (Back of the tree). Natsume got curious and began to follow her, thinking something bad will happen to her if she walks carelessly around in her fragile condition. He came to a stop when he saw Mikan on the ground.

"Oi, polka-dots," Natsume called being slightly worried. "What's going on?"

"Natsume..." she whispered softly but was enough for Natsume to pick it up. "Look..."

Natsume sat down near Mikan and stared at a grave in front of them. It had flowers around it that looked like it was barely put there.

The grave stone said "Here lies...Izumi Yukihira, the husband of Azumi Yuka."
