Natsume: Well, I hate you too.

Hotaru: I second that.

Kaede: Stop hating her. Sheeesh.

Me: Kaede!! You are on my side!

Kaede: imhappy!!! (jumps to hug me)

Me: (gets out of the way and sticks out tongue to Kaede who fell flat on the ground.)

Koko: Tch. You really hate her? And Hotaru, stop thinking about bullying Kaede!

BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA

Hotaru: Serves you right. I told you not to read my mind!

Ruka: Yes. You are right.

On to the story!


"Mikan is sick? Can you fully explain the details?" Hayato asked the doctor.

"Its like this, its because of the alices she copied. I presume some of it are of the fourth-type? Well, when she uses it, her life span decreases, and what we don't understand is, it affects her heart. Marie told us everything about you being heart-broken and the pain added up causing you to be sick more. From now on, someday, it might hurt when you use your alices or if you see your special someone. And it can also hurt anytime so we prepared some medicine. Currently, we are looking for someone who matches your heart. We really need a heart-transplant. Or else-."

"So, how many months more till I live??"

"Uhm, Sakura-san. . ."

"I asked HOW MANY MONTHS MORE?" Mikan shouted, tears kept streaming down her face. She read the mind of the doctor and she didn't want to believe it until the doctor said so.

"I'm afraid to say this but, 3 and a half months more."

"3 and a half months? Is this true? Stop joking! Is it really about 3 and a half months?"

It was painful but the doctor nodded.

After 2 days,

Mikan was discharged from the hospital.

"Mikan! Good to see you!" a student asked.

Mikan nodded and smiled, "Glad to be back."

Then, a group of girls approached Mikan and told her, "Its a shame. Last Valentines, you were in the hospital"

"Yeah. I like to make some chocolates for Hayato. And add something so that once he eats it, his nose becomes like a pig"

The girls laughed, "We would've loved to see that. Bye Mikan-chan"

'It's good to chat with the others again but ever since I found out I'm sick, I'm sure its not going to be the same anymore' she thought.

"Mikan, why're you spacing out?" Hayato asked once he arrived and sat at the table beside Mikan. They were eating breakfast.

"Me? No, I just remembered something." she said.

"Really? Hm...why don't you admit you're thinking about me?"

"Shut up, loser."

"idiot"

"stupid"

"annoying"

"soooo annoying"

"freak"

"pig."

"Hey!! Why pig? Do I look like one?" Hayato complained. Everyone was staring at the two, those who were staring were giggling and laughing. Maybe because they just missed the two teasing each other every morning.

"You look like a pig. You just need to have a pig's nose. Right everyone?" Mikan asked loudly. More students laughed.

"Well..If I look like a pig, you look...you look like a..a...a"

"a? I win again Pig-chan."

"I never win to you." Hayato said.

"You admitted it!! Pig-cchi!!!" Mikan said and laughed with the others. In a while, Hayato joined in laughing too.

Once they were out of the cafeteria, the two walked in the northern forest.

"Hayato, I really am a burden to you aren't I?" Mikan asked.

"You aren't. Believe me."

"I heard you were going to the hospital almost everyday, skipping classes and all. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. Haven't I told you I wanna be like you?"

"Huh?? What are you talking about?"

"Well, you told me before you'll make Hyuuga happy even without expecting anything in return. Well me too. I'll make you happy and I don't expect you to return whatever I do for you."

"Thanks Hayato. I will never ever exchange every moment I had with you. I wonder what would've happened to me if I hadn't met you."

"Me too."

"Why?"

"Because, Mi-cchi, without you, I wouldn't have smiled and I wouldn't have learned how to love."

Mikan smiled. "Its been almost 9 months since I met you. You were cold and arrogant, not wanting to talk with others. You never trusted anyone because you thought you'll simply be casted out."

"Yeah, but you reached out to me, annoyed the hell out of me. I never know what could've happened if fate didn't let us meet."

"You're right. Fate makes people meet for certain reasons. It also makes people separate even though its painful."

Hayato just nodded on what she said. She was right.


After a short meeting with the headmaster, Marie immediately looked for Mikan and Hayato to tell them the good news. It was the news Mikan wanted to hear for so long. And furthermore, Hayato will be with her. Then, she saw the two, staring at the line of trees in front of them. Marie smiled and shouted,

"You two!! I have very important news!!"

"What is it about sensei?" Mikan asked. She was curious.

"Ever since the thing about your illness got the interest of the higher ups, they wanted whats best for you. After all, you are a special girl."

"I don't get it. Is it good for her or bad?" Hayato asked.

"The good news concerns the two of you."

"Why?" Mikan asked, her eyes sparkling. Marie knew the girl read her mind and the girl just wanted her to tell for sure.

"You two are going to be transferred to you-know-where."

Mikan was smiling widely. Hayato seemed happy too, Marie was sure he missed the place. And of course, the auburn-haired girl sure missed that place too.

Meanwhile,

Its a week since Marie announced to Mikan and Hayato the good news. As usual back in Japan, Hotaru was sitting on the cafeteria while working on her new invention, Ruka was there, eating. Natsume was reading his manga, and Kaede was talking to the three of them. Annoying them.

"Hey Natsume, can I borrow your manga? I'm getting really bored." Kaede said. Natsume just replies with,

"Buy yourself one Kaede."

Kaede pouted. Then she turned to Hotaru,

"May I visit your lab today? Please?"

Hotaru blankly said, "No. Ruka is going there later."

Kaede turned to Ruka but upon hearing what Hotaru said. It was clear he's was busy. She sighed. It was when she heard a student shout,

"There are new students!! A boy and a girl."

"Really?" Kaede asked.

"Yes Kaede, want to go and see for yourself? They are at the gate. I just saw them when I passed by." the boy said.

"Sure. I wonder what they look like."

"I can't see it either. Their faces were hidden with a mask."

'A mask?' Natsume thought. Then he saw the boy hold Kaede's hand. He glared at him. The boy immediately ran away, scared.

Kaede pouted again, "Why do that? He was scared to death."

"He held your hand. That's the reason" Natsume said.

A blush crept up at Kaede's face. Then they saw Aoi and Youichi coming towards them. The two didn't like Kaede one bit.

"Good Morning oniichan! Good morning Hotaru-chan, Good morning Ruka-kun! Hello Hotachiin-san" Aoi greeted.

Youichi greeted them as he waved his hand to acknowledge them.

"You know Aoi-chan, you can call me Kaede-san or whatever." Kaede said, hoping to get to her good sides.

"Alright. I'll do that." Aoi said, Kaede's smile widened, then Aoi continued,

"I'll do that, whatever."

Youichi laughed, "That was a nice one Aoi. But she really told you to call her whatever right? She has no right to complain."

Natsume laughed at this. Kaede frowned. Then their attentoin was caught by a group of girls entering the cafeteria, squealing.

"The new guys was really handsome!! He matches Natsume in that area!!" one girl said.

"Yeah, but she has a girl by her side, she wears a mask though." another one said.

"But still, wait why don't we build a fan club for him?? I'm sure he wouldn't mind." another one said.

"but you know, when he took of his mask and smiled at us, I almost melted...blah blah blah." another girl screamed.

Hotaru smiled, a wicked one.

"Hotaru-chan, I'm getting the creeps. Stop smiling like that." Aoi said.

Then Ruka mumbled, "It has started. She'll start torturing the poor guy"

Natsume added, "Poor him. His pictures will be scattered all over the place once it starts."

In what he said, Kaede, Aoi and Youichi finally understood. Hotaru will start taking pictures of the new guy, and sell it around for money or even blackmail the guy.

Meanwhile, back at the academy's gates, two people got out of the limousine.

"I'm sure you're smiling widely, even with that mask on." a guy with jet black hair said.

"I can't help it." the auburn-haired girl told him.

Then, the guy took off his mask and smiled at the girls he saw passing by inside the gates.

"Stop that. Doesn't fit you one bit." the girl said.

"Shut up. You're just jealous."

"Look who's talking."

Then the girl stared at the academy, with a grin on her face even though she was wearing a mask.

She's back.

Back at the place where she wants to be.

Back to the place where she belongs.

You guessed right, she's really back.

Mikan Sakura


Me: She's coming!!

Hotaru: We know so shut up. I'm concentrating on fixing my camera.

Ruka: Hotaru. The poor guy.

Hayato: Its okay. Just give me some of your earnings and we'll be fine.

Hotaru: I guess that's the deal. (took Hayato's hand and shook it)

Kaede: Hello!

Hayato: (leaves)

Koko: She doesn't seem to like you Kaede.
