Me: Hello everybody its me Sonic Keyblade 007/Sonic Toadstool again. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to work on my second chapter of my fanfic, but I've been really busy with college lately so I just haven't found the time to work on my story. But, I'm finally out on summer vacation right now so now I finally have time to work some more on my story.
Natsume: It appears someone needs to work on his time management skills.
Mikan: Natsume leave him alone, we all know how important studying is.
Natsume: Yeah and some people need to study more than others.
Mikan: Hey what's that supposed to mean?
Me: Ha ha, well I better get chapter 2 started before Mikan and Natsume get into another argument, so enjoy everyone. ^^
"Who am I? W-where am I? Who are you?" asked the scared confused boy in the soft fluffy bed. "Natsume, it's me Mikan, are you okay?" asked Mikan in a concerned voice. "Mikan, you say? Ow…" said the dazed and confused boy as he felt a painful jolt in his forehead as he lifted his hands up and slowly felt the bandage of his injury. "Ow, my head hurts. What did I do? Did I do something wrong? Did I do this to myself?" asked the injured boy who had his hands of his forehead in an attempt to ease his pain. While besides him, Mikan can be seen with an unimaginable guilty look on her face. "Natsume? Natsume please stop talking, it's going to make your head hurt worse. Please just lie down and rest. Mikan said while slowly putting her hands on the boy and helping him lie down as if she was being a mother to the dazed boy. "Rest? Ok." Said the injured boy as he went back into the safety of sleep. Mikan then took notice to the fact that Natsume didn't call her any names or reject her help. Unlike the time where Natsume and Mikan were trapped in the dark together when Natsume sprained his leg but refused Mikan's help. This time he seemed to accept her advice without question.
"NATSUME-KUN!" Mikan's thought to herself were then put to a halt when she heard a loud and obnoxious voice coming through the door. "Don't worry Natsume, your darling sweet heart is here. Said a young charming girl as she busted through the door. "Sumire Shouda." Mikan said with annoyance in her voice. Sumire had her traditional school uniform on and was about the same height as Mikan. Sumire had dark green hair that seemed to curl towards the bottom and olive colored eyes. "Oh Natsume are you ok? *Gasp* Your head is hurt, did this good for nothing no-star do this to you? Oh don't worry Natsume I'll make her pay for this!" said Sumire as she went up to Mikan and began to shake her violently. You lousy one star, what did you do to my Natsume? It's your fault he's in this position isn't it?" Sumire said while shaking Mikan. "I-I d-didn't duh-do a-anythiiiiiiiiing." Mikan desperately tried to reply as her shaking was soon put to a halt thanks to another familiar voice. "Let Mikan go Sumire" said the voice. "L-luka!" Sumire said as she quickly let go of Mikan. And turned to the blonde haired boy. "I'm sure this was not Mikan's fault that Natsume is in this condition." Luka said confidently. "Luka!" Mikan said joyfully. "Hi Mikan, how is Natsume doing?" Luca replied with concern in his voice. "Natsume seems to be feeling a bit uneasy. When I entered the room a few minutes ago he woke up but he claimed not to know who he was or who I was. He better not be angry at me for asking him to come to the Alice festival and ignore me by trying to pretend he doesn't know me." Mikan said defensively with her arms crossed in front of her chest, but she was then shocked when she saw worry upon Luca's and Sumire's face.
"Huh? Luca, Sumire? What's wrong?" Mikan was then interrupted by another familiar voice. "If Natsume's head is injured and he claims to not know who he is then he is obviously suffering from amnesia, dummy." Said a calm and cool voice as she entered the room. "Hotaru!" Mikan shouted as she jumped towards the black haired girl but crashed into medical machine due to Hotaru dodging her. The noise seemed to startle Natsume a bit, but not enough to make him wake up from his sleep. "Hotaru, that wasn't a very nice thing to do." Mikan whined as she shook off her pain from crashing into the medical machine and then cleared her head to think about what Hotaru said. "Wait, what exactly does amnaisia mean?" Mikan asked pronouncing the word incorrectly. "*Sigh*, amnesia is a condition in which memory is disturbed or lost. The causes of amnesia have traditionally been divided into categories. Functional causes are psychological factors, such as mental disorder, post-traumatic stress or, in psychoanalytic terms, defense mechanisms. Amnesia may also appear as spontaneous episodes, in the case of transient global amnesia. However, there are different types of memory, for example…" Hotaru replied as she was quickly cut off by Luca.
"Uh, I think Mikan now understands what amnesia is Hotaru." Luca said in a nervous voice and then further explained to Mikan in simpler terms. "Basically Mikan, Natsume probably lost his memory due to the injury to his head, but don't worry I'm sure it's not your fault." Luca said with a smile on his face, but unlike Luca, Sumire appeared to have a mean glance towards Mikan. Mikan's head dropped as guilt began to hit as fast as the metal plate that hit Natsume's head. Oh no, because of me, Natsume has lost his memory. It's all my fault, if only I didn't go to that stupid festival then Natsume wouldn't be in this position. She took a glance and the electrical clock besides Natsume, it was now 5:00pm. The thought of time then snapped her back to reality as she realized that she didn't even know how long this condition will last.
"Wait, Hotaru, how long does amnesia normally last?" Mikan asked worriedly. "It varies from person to person and by what caused the amnesia. Amnesia can last from a few hours to a few years." Hotaru said calmly. "Y-years?" Mikan shouted and then heard another familiar voice walk into the room. "Don't worry Mikan, as long as Natsume has lost his memory, I'm sure that his academy partner will be around to show him around the school and take care of him." Said a tall blonde haired man with a white dress shirt and black pants along with a blonde haired boy with glasses and a school uniform behind him. "Narumi-Sensei and Yuu Tobita!" Mikan said with joy in her voice. "So how is Natsume, is he alright?" Yuu asked nervously. "Well we fear that he is suffering from amnesia since according to Mikan, he can't seem to recall who he or Mikan are." Luca said while looking down in despair. "*Gasp* That's terrible news." What are we going to do if Natsume cannot remember anything? Replied Yuu. "Well I believe that it's important that we should not let anybody else know that Natsume has lost his memory. Natsume has made quite a lot of enemies that would love to take this incident as a perfect opportunity to take revenge on him." Luca intelligently stated. Mikan then nodded in agreement as she remembered an incident when she first entered the academy where a bunch of middle school students decided to pick a fight with him. "I'll take care of Natsume while he's in this state until he's able remember who he is." Luca said.
"Ah that's a good idea, though I'm sure Mikan won't mind assisting you though." Narumi said while looking at Mikan. "Whoa, I-I of course don't mind taking care of Natsume but, I mean if Luca says he's alright on his own then, uh…" Mikan said while blushing and turning away. "Why does Narumi-Sensai always try to pair me and Natsume together? First he makes us partners and now he wants me to take care of Natsume while he can't remember anything. I just don't understand, it's not like we're best friends or do well when we work together or anything". Mikan thought to herself. "No, it's best that I take care of Natsume myself. Besides if Natsume can't remember who he is then he probably won't remember that he's an alice or has the dangerous fire alice and will probably not remember how to control it, I wouldn't want any of you getting hurt because of that. Besides, I've known Natsume longer than anyone else so I'm sure I'll be the first person who he'll remember." Luca stated. "Aw Luca-kun is so caring." Said Sumire in a sweet voice. "Well I guess that settles things then, Luca will be the one to take care of Natsume while he's in this state and hide the fact that he has amnesia." Narumi said. And with that said the six people close to Natsume left the room and waited in the waiting room.
It was now 7:00pm, Natsume's friends were seen in the waiting room patiently waiting to hear any news about Natsume. To their relief, a nurse came out of the room Natsume was in. Natsume could be seen right besides the nurse with a blank look on his face. We've ran some tests on the boy and he appears to be perfectly fine, besides the fact that he cannot remember who he is, where he came from, or the names of any of his friends. But he can still remember how to walk and speak, he just can't seem to remember people. Though there may be some other simple activities that Natsume may not remember how to do." The nurse said sadly Luca then walked up to the nurse and explained how he is Natsume's best friend and that he has decided to take care of him. But to Luca's misfortune, Natsume shook his head and felt uncomfortable with the idea of being taken care of by Luca. "I-I don't know you. I want to go with the pretty girl who I saw in my room." Natsume said calmly as he looked towards Mikan. Mikan couldn't help but blush by the fact that Natsume, the boy that had given her some much trouble had called her pretty.
"Natsmue, it's me Luca your best friend." Luca said with worry in his eyes as he tried to put his hands on Natsume's shoulders, but this made Natsume even more uncomfortable and caused him to run behind Mikan and hug her as if he was using her as a shield between him and Luca. This made Mikan's face become bright red, Mikan looked really confused and didn't know what to do as she was caught in the middle of the drama. "I want to go with her. I want to go with the girl who I saw in my room when I first woke up!" Natsume shouted as he hugged Mikan even tighter. "N-natsume?" Mikan asked in a concerned tone. "Rmph, may I speak with the six of you about Natsume's condition please? Natsume will you be alright if I told you to just stay here and wait?" The nurse said to Natsume and his friends, but Natsume shook his head and continued to hold on to Mikan. "Alright, Mikan's your name right? You should just stay here with Natsume and I'll speak with the rest of your friends in private." Said the nurse looking at Mikan. "Uh, okay." Mikan replied back in a slightly uneasy tone. The nurse then headed Mikan's friends in another room to speak to them alone about Natsume. Sumire could be seen giving Mikan a *You better not do anything funny with him* look as she headed out with the group. Mikan just stood there awkwardly for a few minutes still in shock by the way that Natsume was behaving.
"Uh Natsume, did you want to sit down together instead of standing? My legs are getting kinda sore." Mikan said in an excuse to get Natsume to release her. "Take a seat? Okay." Natsume said innocently as he released Mikan from his grip. They then sat down on two chairs that were besides each other in the waiting room that they were in. Not a word was said for about 15 minutes. Natsume was seen curiously staring all around the room as if he's never seen a waiting room before in his entire life. Mikan on the other hand could not help but constantly look at Natsume and feel guilty for him being in the state that he is in. "Oh Natsume, it's my fault you're in this state. If only I didn't go to that festival, if only….ah" Mikan's thoughts were put to a halt as she felt Natsume tugging at one of her pigtails. "Wow, your hair feels so soft." Mikan then jumped out of her chair while putting her hand over her pigtails. "Natsume! Please do not touch me like that!" Mikan said as if she thought Natsume was trying to flirt with her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" Natsume asked with innocence in his eyes. It was at that moment where Mikan finally realized that Natsume now does not know anything. He is no longer aware of personal space or manners, he is now mentally nothing more than a small child and Mikan couldn't help but blame herself. "N-no, you didn't do anything wrong Natsume, just, ask me if you want to feel my hair next time okay? Natsume Hyuuga." Mikan said while smiling and purposely addressing Natsume by his full name. "Okay. Hyuuga, what is that?" Natsume asked curiously. "Hyuuga. It's your last name Natsume, please tell me you haven't forgotten that people have last names?" Mikan said nervously. "Natsume Hyuuga, so that's my full name? Mikan was it, what's your full name?" Natsume asked curiously. "My full name is Mikan Sakura." Mikan said cutely. "Sakura, what a wonderful name." Natsume said with his head down. Natsume and Mikan then heard their friends and the nurse returning to the waiting room with news about Natsume's condition.
As Mikan's friends came back into the waiting room, Mikan noticed that Luca had a worried look on his face while Natsume seemed to feel a bit uncomfortable with all the people crowding the room. "Mikan Sakura, I should probably tell you as well about Natsume's condition in private." The nurse said but at that moment Natsume grabbed on to Mikan's arm. "I want to go with her." Natsume said in an attempt to not be separated from Mikan. Luca then went up to the nurse and explained that he'll find a way to explain to Mikan in private about Natsume's current condition. "I don't want Natsume to feel devastated or unconfident about himself if he learns about his condition. For now, I think it's best that we just keep an eye on him, keep him happy, and let everything slowly come back to him." Luca said whispering to the nurse. The nurse nodded in agreement. Mikan looked a bit confused as Natsume tugged her a bit harder due to a nervous impulse. "Ehm, Mikan, I think it's best that Natsume lived with you for the moment, at least until he gets his memory back." Luca said sadly. "W-what Natsume live with me? I dunno." Mikan said turning her head away while blushing. The thought of Natsume living with her made it seem as if Luca asked Mikan to marry Natsume. "Mikan please, you're the only person that Natsume seems to trust right now. Natsume doesn't wish to go with me and I couldn't bare the thought of leaving Natsume on his own in this state. I'm begging you Mikan please do this favor for me." Luca said as he placed his hands on Mikan's shoulders.
"Um okay." Mikan said defeated with no other choice. "I guess he can sleep in my dorm but I only have one bed so I guess we'll have to share." Mikan said while blushing and looking down. Sumire could be seen in the distance biting her nails due to her jealousy. "That's okay, with Natsume's memory loss, I doubt he'd try to do anything funny to you, besides, you two have slept together in the same bed before when you two were stuck together due to the mochimochi powder, right?" Luca stated. "Y-yeah, that's right." Mikan said while giggling as she remembered that they weren't really stuck together that night, but Mikan had to admit to herself that sleeping with Natsume did feel a bit….nice. "Okay it's settled, Mikan will take care of Natsume for the moment, and the rest of us will do our best to not let anyone else find out that Natsume has lost his memory." Luca stated while everyone else nodded their head in agreement. Sumire could still be seen biting her nails, there was no doubt that she was angry and jealous of Mikan about the situation.
"Oh wait, Natsume's a boy, how am I going to be able to sneak him into the girl's dorm?" Mikan asked. "Oh that's no problem. Being a professor of Alice Academy comes with its advantages. I'll just tell the head of the girl's dorm that Natsume as an executive student is there to investigate and find an alice stone made by one of the students in the dangerous ability class and could become a hazard to the students if found by the wrong hands." Narumi said. "Sounds like a reasonable plan, but are you sure that it won't seem suspicious that you're having a boy look for the stone (that doesn't exist) instead of a girl?" Hotaru asked. "Oh yes, but Natsume has a great reputation for searching for things on his missions, I'm sure that they'll find Natsume as a reasonable exception." Narumi said, but then Luca's face seemed to change as if his stomach fell to the floor. "Wait, Narumi, what if Natsumi has a mission? What will Persona do if he's too scared to do the mission?" Luca asked worriedly. Mikan put her hand that wasn't hugged by Natsume over her mouth as she remembered exactly how brutal Persona can be as she remembered how she almost died after she simply touched the sinister man. "Well I suppose we better hope that Natsume doesn't have a mission as long as he can't remember anything." Narumi said while smiling as everyone else turned to him with an annoyed look on their faces due to the fact that he didn't seem to have a good answer.
"Well I think it's time now that we made our leave." Narumi said. "Yeah I'm getting tired." Said Hotaru yawning." Mikan looked at the clock on the wall, it was now 9:00pm. "Well…fine." Luca said sadly. "Mikan since Natsume will be staying with you do you think you should stop by his dorm to get clothes." Luca, suggested. "I would but I'm not allowed in the boys dorm since I'm a girl after all. Mikan stated. "Okay, I'll just have to stop by Natsume's dorm and deliver some of his clothes to you then. Though since I'm a boy I won't be able to deliver it directly to your dorm so I'll have to give it to a Dorm Monitor to deliver it to you. But of course I'll need Natsume's dorm room key." Luca said looking at Natsume which caused him to hide his face into Mikan's arm.
"Um, okay. Natsume, do you have your key in your pocket? You know, the hole in your shorts?" Mikan asked. Natsume then brought a small black cardkey out of his pocket. "Uh, is it this thing?" Natsume asked while handing it to Mikan. "Yes that's it Natsume!" Mikan said as she took the card and handed it to Luca. "Okay guys, we better go now." Luca stated, and with that said Mikan and her friends left the hospital. Once they got outside of the hospital, Hotaru, Sumire, and Yuu went back to their respective dorms. Luca headed off to Natsume's dorm room to get a few pair of clothes for his poor friend. Narumi walked with Mikan and Natsume to Mikan's dorm room in order so that he could explain to the head of the dorm room why Natsume, a boy was entering the girls dorms. When Mikan and Natsume finally arrived and enter Mikan's dorm room, Mikan couldn't help but notice how awkward it felt to have a boy inside her room.
"Natsume, we're here and alone, so you don't need to hold onto me anymore." Mikan said. Natsume then released his grip on her and looked around. "Oh, what a nice room you have Mikan, it looks really clean and organized." Natsume said in a low voice. "Oh yeah, it's nothing really, my grandpa always raised me to be clean and organized haha. Oh do you by any chance remember anything about your grandpa Natsume?" Mikan asked curiously. "Grandpa….no I'm afraid that I don't remember much." Natsume said sadly looking at the ground. "Oh, I'm sorry Natsume, I shouldn't have asked." Mikan said sadly. "Um, Mikan." Natsume said looking innocently at his friend. "Yes, Natsume?" Mikan replied back. "Is it alright if I have a seat in your bed?" Natsume politely asked. "Oh, of course Natsume, you don't have to ask me." Mikan replied kindly. Natsume then took a seat in Mikan's soft bed while Mikan sat right next to him. "So Natsume, can you remember anything about your life before waking up and seeing me inside the hospital bed?" Mikan asked. "Uhm, well let me think, I remember something happened lately, was it today? I remember that there was some big event and I think I was looking for someone but then I got hit by something in the head and everything went dark. Ow." Natsume put his hands back to his forehead where his bandage still was as his head started to hurt again.
"Oh Natsume, it's all my fault." Mikan thought to herself as she wrapped her arms around Natsume and embraced him into her chest. "I'm so sorry, Natsume." Mikan said to herself in a quiet voice that Natsume couldn't hear. Natsume wasn't shocked or felt uncomfortable by Mikan's action at all, if anything, it made him feel happy and safe that he was in the arms of the person who he first saw as he re-entered the world with a fresh mind. Mikan and Natsume's hug was then put to an end as they heard a knock on Mikan's door. This frightened Natsume for a moment, but he calmed down when Mikan squeezed his hand. "It's okay Natsume, I'll answer the door. Um for the moment, you just hide in my closet so no girls see you okay?" Mikan said while smiling.
"Uh is it safe in your closet, Mikan. Will I be alright without you?" Natsume said nervously. Mikan could not believe at that moment what she was hearing. Reality final snapped it's cold fingers in Mikan's face as she realized the pitiful state Natsume has truly been reduced to due to him taking a hit in the head for her. Natsume, the cold and ruthless elementary student of the dangerous ability class has been reduced to a shy and powerless 11-year old boy afraid of his own shadow who has a panic attack whenever he's separated from Mikan. "Yes Natsume, I promise as long as I'm around, harm will never fall to you again." Mikan said while smilling. "Okay Mikan, if you say so." Natsume replied as he hid himself in the closet like Mikan asked. When Mikan opened her door she saw a middle school academy student with silvery white hair and blue eyes behind her thin circular glasses holding pairs of school uniforms for an elementary school male academy student along with blue and green collored pajamas. The girl also had a badge on her chest that was titled, Dorm Monitor.
"Hello Mikan Sakura, I've come to deliver these pairs of clothes to you by a boy named Luca. I'm also aware that the executive student, Natsume will be staying in the girl's dorm to search for some alice stone that may be a danger to the academy. I'm assuming these clothes are for him correct?" The dorm monitor said with a mean attitude. "Y-yes that's correct." Mikan said while almost losing her voice. "Look, you have no idea how lucky you are to be able to have a boy to sleep with in your dorm. If word gets out that you have someone of the opposite gender sharing the same bed with you it's not going to be pretty. Girls will start envying you and spread nasty rumors about you and Natsume. "Mikan and Sakura, the two elementary division students at alice academy who lost their virginity during the hunt for the alice stone."" The Dorm Monitor said sarcastically quoting what could be rumors that will soon spread of Mikan and Natsume if their secret got out. "Virginity? Uh, I'm sorry, what is that? Is that a type of candy like a howalon?" Mikan asked innocently. "Your virginity. You know, that thing you have before get laid-on?" The Dorm Monitor tried again to explain to the naïve girl but still had no luck. "Look, what I'm trying to say is that if other girls figure out that you have the charming Natsume in your room, people are going to start rumors that you and Natsume had sex!" The Dorm Monitor said getting the point directly across the brunet's thick skull.
"W-what? That's ridiculous! Why would anyone want to do that?" Mikan asked worriedly. "Because girls believe that Natsume is simply the hottest guy in the entire academy. Not only that, but he is also seen as a kind and selfless person as he is willing to go through these brutal and horrible missions assigned by the dangerous abilities class single handedly so the academy doesn't force his classmates to have to work on these missions. You have no idea how lucky you are to have Natsume in your dorm room. There are so many girls here that would love to be in your position! I-I would love to be in your position." The Dorm Monitor admitted to Mikan while petting her silvery hair and blushing slightly.
"I guess I never thought of it like that. You wouldn't tell anyone that Natsume is staying with me in my dorm would you?" Mikan asked with a worried look. "*Sigh* I guess not, just make sure that you two don't stir up too much ruckus in the bed." The Dorm Monitor said while Winking and handing Mikan Natsume's clothes. "Haha, uh, hey wait a minute. Me and Natsume may be sharing the same bed but we won't be doing anything crazy." Mikan desperately replied as her face turned red. "Haha, I'll have to believe that. My name is Jenny by the way." The Dorm Monitor said as she extended her right hand to begin a handshake. "I'm Mikan Sakura, but you already knew that." Mikan said while giggling as she shook Jenny's hand with her right hand as she let her left hand hold the delivered pairs of clothes. "Well I hope we see eachother again soon." Said Jenny as she headed out. "Okay, bye Jenny." Mikan replied as she then headed back to her dorm room and told Natsume that it was now safe for him to come out of the closet.
"Here Natsume, Luca delivered some of your clothes from your dorm room." Mikan said as she sat the clothes on her bed. Natsume then took a look at his pairs of clothes on the bed and noticed that they all seemed to be the same school uniform that he was now wearing except for an blue and green pair of pajamas. "Oh, so these green and blue colored clothes must be my pajamas? That's what I wear at night and the school uniforms I wear in the day right?" Natsume asked with an innocent look on his face. "Y-yes, that's correct Natsume." Mikan replied to the obvious statement. "Well Natsume we should probably get ready to go to bed now and it's a little too late to take a shower." Mikan said as she looked at her clock. On her dresser. It was now 11:00pm. "Okay". Natsume replied happily. "I'll go into the bathroom to change into my pajamas. You can change into your pajamas in here." Mikan said smiling as she grabbed a pair of long sleeved tanned-yellow pajamas and a matching pair of polka-dotted panties and bra. Mikan then headed into her bathroom connected to a door in her dorm room. As Mikan was taking off her set of clothes and putting on her new set of underwear she could not help but think about the situation that she's put Natsume in and how Natsume nobly risked his life and took a hit to the head for Mikan.
"I still can't believe that Natsume was willing to have that piece of metal hit his head in order to protect me. I wonder….would I be the one with amnesia if Natsume didn't come to protect me?" Mikan thought to herself. As Mikan was thinking about the position she would be in if it weren't for Natsume she was now stripped down to her underwear and was about to put her pajamas on but to her horror she heard a loud scream coming from her dorm room. "MIKAN!" Natsume screamed as he busted through the bathroom door and grabbed onto Mikan. Mikan's face then became as red as a tomato as she realized that Natsume was seeing Mikan in her underwear. "Mikan please help, there's something m-moving in your room. It sc-scared me." However, what Natsume just said to Mikan must have went through one ear and out the other as Mikan became furious at Natsume just barging in the door without knocking.
"NATSUME!" Mikan said while placing her hands on Natsume's shoulder trying her best not to strangle him. "Natsume, never ever come into a bathroom without knocking. I'm in my underwear, it's wrong for a boy to see a girl in her underwear unless the two really, really like each other and accept seeing each other without their clothes on, okay." Mikan said as if she was scolding Natsume as a motherly figure. "Um okay. I'm sorry mikan. It's just that I was scared. I didn't like being in there by myself without you." Natsume said while innocently looking at Mikan with tears in his eyes that were about to drop. As Mikan looked at Natsume, she took a look at the bandage that was still wrapped around his head and couldn't help but feel guilty once again as her anger disappeared. It was her fault that Natsume was in this pitiful state after all, what right did she have to get angry? Mikan then put on her pajamas and told Natsume to show her what scared him. Natsume grabbed Mikan's hand and brought her back in her dormroom. Natsume then pointed to a spider the size of one's thumb.
"Oh, that is quite a big spider. But no need to be afraid Natsume. I grew up in the country, so spiders don't scare me. What my grandpa used to do was get a shoe or a book and crush it, but I prefer to just let it go outside in a cup." Mikan said as she grabbed a plastic cup off of her dresser and put it over the spider. She then took a small skinny book and slid it under the cup so she could carry it without letting the spider bite her. Mikan then took the cup and book outside and released the spider. Mikan then walked back into her dorm room and saw Natsume relieved. "Wow Mikan, you're amazing." Natsume said with joy. "Oh it's nothing." Mikan said while blushing and putting her hand behind her head while blushing. Even though Natsume was reduced to such a naïve state, Mikan couldn't help but feel happy that the big bad executive student of the elementary division said that she was amazing. At that moment, Mikan noticed that Natsume didn't have his pajamas on. "Natsume, why didn't you put on your pajamas? Were you too scared to move due to the spider?" Mikan asked with worry. "It wasn't because of the spider, it's just that, well…I don't know how to put them on. Can you help me Mikan?" Natsume asked innocently. Mikan's face then became bright red again.
"N-natsume, I can't do that, remember what I said about boys and girls seeing each other in their underwear? Only if they really really like each other." Mikan tried to explain. "But I really like you Mikan, I think you're a wonderful person. You were there for me when I woke up in the hospital after all. So you must care a little for me too, right?" Natsume said looking innocently. "Uh, um" Mikan could barely manage to get any words out of her mouth as she admitted defeat. "Alright Natsume, I'll help you change." Mikan said barely forming a smile. She grabbed Natsume's blue and green colored pajamas and noticed a small note on them that read. "Mikan, meet me in front of the Elementary School branch at 10:00am tomorrow. I'll explain to you then what the Nurse told us about Natsume's condition. – Luca." Mikan then put the note aside and got ready to undress Natsume and put his pajamas on. "Oh why me?" Mikan asked herself. "Okay Natsume, can you put your arms up so I can put your shirt on?" Mikan asked and Natsume obeyed. As Mikan put Natsume's shirt on, she couldn't help but noticed how muscular Natsume seemed to be for an 11-year old boy. She also seemed to notice that Natsume also had quite a few bruises. "How did he get those? Could it be from missions in the dangerous abilities class?" Mikan wondered to herself for a moment but then snapped back to reality as she grabbed natsume's pajama shirt and put it on him.
"Okay Natsume, I'm going to put your pants on now (Oh please be wearing boxers and not briefs)." Mikan said as she began to pull Natsume's shorts down. Luckily for Mikan, Natsume was wearing boxers but Mikan couldn't help but notice even more bruises on his legs and near the top of Natsume's right leg it looked like he had a bite mark. Could it be due to vicious dog? Perhaps a vicious guard dog that Natsume was attacked by while he was on his missions? "Oh Natsume." Mikan said to herself as she put his pajama pants over Natsume's legs. "Ah, thank you Mikan, these sure do feel comfy on me." Natsume said "Oh, y-yeah it's no problem." Mikan said quietly as she placed her hand over her chest to ease her heart from beating so fast due to the fact that she saw Natsume in his underwear. "Well, I think it's time for bed now." Mikan said as she turned off the lights and got on the left side of her bed and Natsume got on the right side. Even though Mikan and Natsume slept together before in Natsume's dorm room, this time seemed much more awkward for Mikan. After all Mikan's bed was a lot smaller and harder than Natsume's due to the fact that she was a simple one star. As a result, Mikan and Natsume had to sleep closer together than they did in Natsume's dorm room. Though Natsume of course had no problems with this since he could not remember anything, Mikan couldn't help but feel a bit weird.
"Mikan?" Natsume asked trying to get her attention. "Yes, Natsume?" Mikan replied back. "I Think, I think I remember, something about when I was younger. Whenever I was scared to sleep by myself, I would come into my parents room and sleep with them. Whenever I was scared at the thought that a fire was going to start in my room." Natsume said, as Mikan realized that she used to do the same thing with her grandpa whenever she was scared of ghosts. "Your parents must have been really nice Natsume." Mikan said. "Yeah, I think they were anyway. I just wish I could remember more about them. Mikan you've been so kind to me. Can I call you, Mom?" Mikan felt as though as her heart stopped beating as she had a flashback of sleeping with Narumi-sensei and asked if she could call him grandpa. "That's a bit…Well I'm only 11 years old. But how about you call me your Big Sister Mikan?" Mikan said giggling. "Okay big sister. Haha, goodnight." Natsume said as wrapped his left arm around Mikan. Normally, Mikan would have blushed but she was used to Natsume touching her by now and embraced him, and smiled. Growing up as an only child, Mikan always wanted a younger sibling to hang out with not only in terms of years but also mentally, Mikan was the older figure while Natsume seemed to behave just like the sweet and polite younger brother that she always wanted. "Goodnight, little brother Natsume." Mikan said as she rubbed Natsume's head and went to sleep.
To Be Continued…
Me: Well how did you guys like chapter 2?
Natsume: I thought it was horrible, you've reduced me to a naïve idiot.
Mikan: Oh Natsume, I think it's sorta cute how you depend on me due to your memory loss.
Natsume: *Flicks Mikan with his finger*
Mikan: Oh, what was that for Natsume?
Natsume: I've told you before, never call a guy cute.
Me: Uh haha please calm down you two. Anyway if you like this story feel free to write a comment/review or give me any suggestions I can use to improve my story. Also, tell me if you like the story so far and if you want me to continue it.
Natsume: And you better do it quick while he's out of school now if you don't want to wait another 6 months for him to write the next chapter due to his poor time-management skills when it comes to college.
Mikan: And remember to tell all your Gakuen Alice friends to check out the story. The more support we get, then the more Mr. Author will want to work on the story.
Me: Haha, yeah, what Natsume and Mikan said. Well let me know what you guys like so far, what you guys don't like and what I can improve on, see ya later.
Natsume and Mikan's new relationship is now starting to blossom, but what will Persona do now that Natsume has missed his mission? Will Mikan be able to hide the fact that Natsume isn't really there to look for an alice stone or will nasty rumors of Mikan and Natsume begin to spread. How long will the effects of Natsume's amnesia last? Will Natsume be able to control his fire alice while he has amnesia? And how will other students react to Natsume once they see his awkward new behavior? The answers to all these questions and more will be revealed in Burnt Out Memories: Chapter 3: Am I a bad person Mikan?
Oh and by the way, when I first wrote this chapter, I was still reading the American releases of Gakuen Alice, but over the summer, I have decided to catch up with Japan and am now on Chapter 153. So I'll now be writing keeping current timeline elements in mind hence why I stated that Mikan was older than Natsume. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the read, please let me know what you guys are liking so far and what I can do to improve my writings, thank you.
