The sun shone into Ruka's room, waking him up. He expects to see 3 people in his room, excluding him, but only Hotaru is in the room.
"Where's Natsume and Mikan-chan?" he then asked.
Hotaru was then awoken by his question and realized that they are alone.
"Where is Mikan and Natsume, Ruka?" she asked him.
Ruka shook his head, "No idea. I have also just woke up." He then answered.
"Let's go looking for them after washing up." Hotaru suggested and he agreed.
Soon after they washed up, they went to look for them everyway, including their rooms and the garden, where they met Ruka's father.
"Whoa! What are you 2 running about for?" he asked.
"Dad… do you… know where is Natsume?" Ruka panted.
His father thought for a while, "I think I saw them in the library sleeping when I pass by this morning." He then said.
Hotaru and Ruka looked at each other, "Thanks Dad!" Ruka thanked and they ran to the library and found them really sleeping there with the book opened.
"Ne, Natsume, Mikan, you both better wake up now. It's already 8am." Ruka said as they wake the two of them.
Natsume and Mikan wake up and realized that they had fallen asleep in the library.
"What time is it now, Hotaru?" Mikan asked as Natsume put back the books.
Hotaru then looked at the clock, "8.20am, to be exact. You better hurry up and washed up. The car is coming at 10am." She answered.
Upon hearing that, both Mikan and Natsume then quickly wash up and went for breakfast. After breakfast, both Hotaru and Mikan thanks Ruka's parents for making their 2 weeks stay there enjoyable. Before they board the car, Ruka's father suddenly called Natsume and Mikan.
"This is a small gift from me. Please accept it." He said as he handle them a bag.
Natsume took the bag and they both saw the series of "Legendary Alice". They looked at each other for a while.
"We cannot accept this, Mr. Nogi." Mikan said.
"Why not? Consider this as a gift from a special friend, ok?" he then said.
"Demo…" Mikan wanted to continue rejecting but Natsume stopped her.
"Thank you, we will treasure it." Natsume thanked and pulled Mikan to the car with him.
As they walked towards the car, Mikan protested, "Natsume, we can't…"
"He will keep insisting we take the books." Natsume explain blankly.
"Mata oide kudasai, if you all can." Mrs. Nogi said as they bid good-bye to Ruka's parents.
"Hai!" Mikan said, and the car took off.
From Ruka's house to the village where Mikan and Hotaru lives id a 4 hour car ride, therefore Mikan and Natsume took a nap on the journey as they don't get to sleep much. As they fell asleep, they once again entered the dreamland.
In The Dream, this time round, both Natsume and Mikan see the growing up of Hikari and Takeshi.
"Oh great, I'm in the dreamland again. And what kind of damned weather is this? Heavy rain and Strong winds?" Natsume said.
Suddenly, he heard someone crying.
'This sounds like a baby crying.' He thought as he walked towards the sound and saw a couple in the room with a baby.
"I'm so glad that you are well when giving birth. You almost scared me to death with all your screaming, Sora." The man said.
"Well, I never knew that giving birth is so painful. After all, this is my first time, Katsume." Sora answered, looking at the child in her hand.
Katsume also looked at the child, "He looks very tiny for now. I sure do hope he will be very strong in the future." He said.
Sora looked at her husband, smiled, "He will be as strong as his father."
Suddenly, a lady entered the room and asked, "Sire, Madam, have you thought of a name for the young master?"
They looked at each other for a while, and then both answered together, "Takeru."
"May you bring out the hope in people's hearts and bring them hope for the future." Katsume said.
(At Mikan's side)
"Where am I again? Am I in the dream last time? How come there is such strong wind blowing and heavy downpour?" Mikan asked.
Out of a sudden, a baby's cried is heard and Mikan went towards the sound. She saw a man running pass her and entered the room where the cried is. In the room, there is a man and 2 women.
"Sire, omedetoo gozaimasu, it's a baby girl." One of the ladies said.
The man laughs out loud, "That's great. I had wanted a girl ever since then. Finally, my wish comes true. Thank you, Mika." He then said excitedly to a lady on bed.
"It's nothing at all, Shiro. It is after all, our precious. I sure hope that she grew up to a healthy girl." Mika then replied.
"Sire, Madam, what name should your kodomo be called?" The other lady asked.
They gave it a thought for a while, "Hikari!" Both then answered.
They looked at each other with a smile, and Shiro said, "Hikari will be her name for today onwards."
"We wish that she will be like her name, bringing light to our village for she brings light to us." Mika continued.
'Sodesne, this is the birth of Hikari.' Mikan thought.
(Suddenly, the scene changed and, in front of Natsume and Mikan are 2 three years old kids)
"Oi, Fuyuki Hikari! What are you doing here alone? Where is beloved Takeru? A boy asked.
"Why should I tell you, Kanbara Karou? You better leave now, or else Takeru will not let you go." Hikari said.
"Why is that?" Karou asked.
"That's because you damaged my gift from my parents!" a voice said behind him.
"Takeru!" Hikari exclaimed and ran to him.
He smiled at her and then looked at Karou, "Get lost now, Kanbara!" he shouted.
"You won't win every time, Misaki Takeru!" he warned and ran away.
"Coward!" Hikari shouted back, then looked at Takeru. "Ne, Takeru, let's go for our training now." She said and he nodded.
As they were doing their training, both Natsume and Mikan looked around the place.
'This place looks like a Ninja village, judging from their trainings and the surrounding.' Natsume thought.
As for Mikan, she did not look around. Instead, she kept looking at Takeru.
'He looks like someone I know… Ah, Natsume! He looks a bit like Natsume. The colour of his eyes and hair is almost the same as his. Also, what make him look alike to him are his characteristics, it is almost the same. Okashii ne!' Mikan thought.
Natsume also looked at Hikari and mentally noted, 'Hikari looked a lot like Mikan. Her hair colour and eyes colour. Furthermore, her characteristics are also very alike to hers, or to be specific, she is like the elder version of Mikan.'
Although they get to see Hikari and Takeru together, and get affected by their feelings, but they still did not see each other yet. They almost get to see each other, but were waken up by Ruka and Hotaru as they are reaching the village soon.
