They woke up very peaceful without disturb after the dreams they shared and were very surprised. They normally woke up from the dream when they are being disturbed.
Mikan then looked the time, "Wow, it is still so early. This is the 1st time I woke up this early, Natsume-kun." she commented.
"Want to talk about the yume we shared?" Natsume asked.
Mikan thought for a while, and before she did anything, Natsume went out of the room. She then followed behind him.
"Okashii ne, Natsume. Both of us had been having the same yume since we read the book." Mikan said as she caught up with Natsume at the corridor.
Natsume said nothing but only settled down first. "There is something really strange about the book. It seems to be telling us a story, yet the characters' are so real to us. Furthermore, they really look a lot like us every time dreamt of them." He then state.
Mikan thought for a while, "You're right. Every time I saw that Hikari, I have a very familiar feeling. As for Takeru, don't know for what reasons, my heart ache every time I saw him. It is as though my heart is going to… going to…" Mikan then stopped. "Ahh… I don't know how to describe the feeling!" she then yelled.
"Are you trying to wake everyone up by your yelling?" Natsume reprimanded.
But, before Mikan could apologized, there heard a louder shout, "HELP! ANYONE THERE? PLEASE HELP ME!"
"This time is not me, Natsume." Mikan replied and Natsume just rolled his eyes.
The shout has awakened Ruka, Hotaru as well as her brother. They quickly rushed to find Natsume and Mikan at the corridor.
"What do you two think you are doing, shouting so early in the morning? Don't you know that there are people who are still sleeping?" Hotaru's brother scolded.
Natsume just ignored him and went out of the house. Mikan looked at him and Imai then ran after Natsume with Hotaru and Ruka.
"Cho… Chotto Matte, the four of you." He said as he ran after them.
They came to a house where the shouting is from and went in. the sight that they first saw shocked all of them. A mid-30 lady is holding a blooding dripping knife and she is looking at the man on the floor. The man's leg is bleeding profusely and the lady seems not satisfied about it and keeps pacing forward. A small girl is standing outside the house, smiling very happily at that sight.
"What is going on here?" Imai asked coldly.
The girl then looked at them and smiled. She then looked back at the lady and the lady continues pacing.
"The lady seems to be hypnotized. Look at her eyes, they seems to be staring at space. Under this circumstance, I think she is being controlled and the one controlling her might be the kodomo there." Ruka then answered.
Mikan looked at him, "Does that means that she also has Alice, Ruka-pyon?"
"Most likely, if what Nogi said is correct." Imai replied.
Suddenly, a louder scream interrupt their conversation and they saw the lady going to stab the man.
"Please, no… Sakano… I won't hit you and Shiki anymore… I don't want to die…" the man pleaded.
The lady (Sakano), however, did not heed his pleading and raise her knife. Just as she is about to stab the guy, Mikan suddenly dashed towards the lady.
"Mikan!" Natsume shouted, trying to stop her but Mikan is ran pass him before he can get her.
"Please stop this!" Mikan shouted as she run to the lady and hugged her.
As soon as Mikan hugged that lady, she slowly dropped her knife and looked around.
"What happened? Why am I out of the house?" that lady asked, looking at them curiously. "Who are you kids?" she then asked.
However, before anyone could answer her, the girl in front of the house started wailing aloud.
"Oh dear," the lady cried and ran towards the girl. "Now, now, Shiki. Mou daijoubu. Don't be afraid now, ma ma is here with you." the lady comfort.
As the lady is comforting the small girl, Natsume immediately ran up to Mikan.
"Do you know how dangerous the situation is just now? You almost got killed. What if your nullification didn't work just now?" Natsume reprimanded her.
Mikan was shocked at his scolding, then smiled, "Mou daijoubu, Natsume-kun."
"I really thought you were gone just now. Don't do that again, Mikan! I… I can't afford to lose you!" Natsume then said softly, hugging her.
Mikan just smiled back, "I know, Natsume, that you are worried for me. Thank you." She answered, hugging him back.
Imai then stepped out to the lady and said, "Madam, I think your child here is a special child and she belongs to somewhere where her talents can be fully used."
"What do you mean? Who are you" the lady asked.
"My name is Imai Kabana, and I am from the Gakuen Alice. I noticed that your child has a very special talent. If she is to be studying in the Gakuen Alice, I'm sure she will know how to use her talents properly." He then explained.
"But…" the lady hesitated.
However, the kid's father is very happy about it, "Sure, why not. If Shiki studies in the Gakuen Alice, she will make us proud as she is like that Imai Hotaru." he said.
"What if she cannot adopt to the environment there, Ku? What is she cannot make any friends there? What if she does not like there? She is only 3, Ku." that lady asked.
"Don't you worry Madam. I'm sure she will be able to make friends there. Furthermore, we will help you take good care her, ne, Natsume-kun, Ruka-pyon, Hotaru?" Mikan then said.
"I think so, Mikan." Ruka answered her while Natsume and Hotaru say nothing.
The lady still looks a bit worried but agreed to it. They meet at the elementary school at 12 pm for the car ride back to school. During the journey back, Shiki keep asking them things about the Gakuen and other stuffs.
"Ne, Natsume-kun, do you think Youichi-chan and her will be good friends?" Mikan asked.
He just smiled at her and said nothing. They soon reached the Gakuen and Narumi sensei, which is waiting for them, brought her to see the headmaster. The rest then return to their dorms and unpacked their belongings.
