Love is the wind beneath the wings of our hearts, lifting us up and letting us feel the happiness of freedom. And when the wind dies down and we have forgotten about the experience, our hearts will always remember the sensation, openly welcoming the wind to come again and lift us up to soar above despair.-Me (Please don't use quote without permission!)

One year later

It was a sunny day that was filled with noise as one middle school class followed up on its usual chaos.

Then Narumi walked in.

Everyone but the gang failed to notice the extra spring in his step, that the smile on his face was bigger than ever.

"Class! Class! Quiet down please!"

But his voice wasn't heard over the din.

Suddenly, a shot was heard and everyone scrambled to their seats.

"Thanks you Imai."

Narumi said as the class watched her blow the smoke from the latest version of the Baka Gun, and stow it away under her desk.

"Now class I have very exciting news to give."

He glanced at the gang as he said that.

"We have a new student today!"

Everyone started whispering, well everyone but the gang in the back row.

"But wait."

Everyone was quiet.

"There's something strange about this student, you see, she lived in America before coming here for 15 years. She grew up there. But strangely, after she turned 14 she started having these dreams about another life."

He looked directly into the gang's eyes.

"A life in this academy."

He continued.

"Her dreams seemed to span years, it spanned 4 years to be exact before they started coming to a close when she turned 15."

"Her dreams made her the main character. As if she was living the life, not someone else. She even fell in love with someone in her dreams."

Narumi looked Natsume directly in the eye, lavender clashing with red.

Natsume touched the orange mark on the back of his hand as he shivered.

"So she looked for this academy, and found it successfully. When she first saw the academy, a whirl of emotions hit her, happiness, regret, sadness, and love. She had visions playing her head."

"She walked in and went right to the teacher's room, as if she knew where to go, though she stated that it's her first time here. What I found strange was that she didn't carry any map."

"Now class, I would like to introduce our strange new student! Come on in!"

He gestured to the doorway and in came the new student.

Everyone gasped.

Ruka froze, Hotaru gasped, and Natsume stood up.

The girl tucked a stray chestnut colored lock behind her ear before speaking.

"Ohayou! My name's Mikan Sakura! I come from the USA and my alices are nullification and S.E.C.! I have trained in the most elite fighting school there in America and I have graduated as the youngest person in history to top the highest class."

She looked at the gang and smiled at each of them before staring at Natsume.

It was hazel and crimson once again.

Then she frowned.

"Why are you still here?"

Natsume's eyes widened. This couldn't be true.

Narumi spoke up from behind her.

"Persona never kept his side of the deal."

Her eyes widened in surprise then narrowed in anger.

"I'm going to teach that guy a lesson he deserves!"

The class cringed at her tone.

"But that aside! I'll move onto lighter topics!"

She looked back at the gang.

"I don't know why I feel like saying this since it's my first time here, physically of course, but I just feel like I need to."

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply before looking back at the surprised, wait more than surprised, Natsume, her hazel eyes shining.

"It's good to be back guys!!!"
