The gigantic tree shaded Mikan from the blazing sunlight. She was reading a book, a very boring book about some random king's history. Why she was reading that book, she didn't know. All she knew was that she wanted to get out for a while to cool down her anger.

What made her angry in the first place? She didn't even remember. Sighing, she set down the book on her lap, not bothering to mark the last page she read. It's not like she was going to continue reading it anyway.

Soon enough, she dozed off into a deep, deep slumber…

But shortly after that she woke up. Yawning, she stood up to pat her dusty dress.

Wait, what? Dress? What dress?

Sure enough, she was wearing a cute, sky blue maid-like dress with a white apron in front.

"Eh… what the heck…" She said, narrowing her eyes while looking at the dress. She even wore a pair of thigh-high stockings and black ankle-length boots.

"Wait, aren't the shoes supposed to be different?" What she meant by 'supposed', of course, she didn't even know. She just felt like she knew.

"Ah well." She shrugged. Just as she was about to lie down again, a… something ran past her. That 'something' then tripped over a pebble and fell face-first onto the ground. Upon closer inspection, the 'something' was actually Tsurara, but with white rabbit ears.

"Oikawa-san?"Mikan asked, crouching beside the sobbing girl who was still lying face-first on the ground. Her rabbit ears were twitching as Mikan spoke to her. The blue-haired girl then slowly sat up, cheeks stained with tears. It was truly an adorable sight to hold.

But Mikan practically didn't have any emotions, so she just stared.

But she blushed a little bit at the cuteness anyway.

"What are you, Oikawa-san?"

Tsurara perked at the grey-eyed girl's voice. She wiped away her tears and smiled brightly.

"I'm an arctic hare!"

"But you're supposed to be a rabbit…" A bead of sweat rolled down Mikan's forehead. She examined the hare's attire. It consisted of… a kimono? And when she looked closely… Tsurara's eyes were actually golden, not blue, as she remembered.

"Eeeeh… what the heck is happening…"

Tsurara, the hare, tilted her head questioningly before something ticked inside her head. Her eyes widened.

"OH NO! WAKA!"

…And with that, she ran away and jumped into a hole.

"Whoa there, wait, Oikawa-san the Arctic hare!" Mikan lunged forward, trying to catch the hare, but to no avail. She fell into the hole.

"Why did I even bother to call her with that name…?" She mused while playing with the lace of her skirt as she fell. Sighing, she crossed her arms.

"Wait… sleeping under a tree, chasing after a rabbit… eh I mean hare, and falling into a hole after attempting to catch the hare…" A light bulb appeared on top of Mikan's head.

"Alice in Wonderland?" She said out loud as she kept falling.

She finally landed on a soft material that she didn't even bother to examine. She patted her apron, which she just noticed, had a little bunny stitched on it. She shrugged.

"Why hello there~"

Mikan turned around slowly, eyes set to glare at whoever that dared to sneak up on her. Balling her fist, she punched the man square in the face.

The poor man fell, of course.

The man was twitching on the ground, with his hands cupping his face. After several minutes though, he returned to normal ad started to sit slowly. Mikan noticed his unusual hair colour first. It was golden, on the top at least, the bottom was black.

"Creep," she muttered.

After fixing his nose a little bit, he looked up to grin at Mikan. For some reason, she felt the urge to run away. Most probably because he was a stranger.

And ran away she did.

She headed towards a random door, opened it, went through, and locked it. She could hear the poundings on the door by the creepy man on the other side, but she kept on marching forward.

Eventually, she arrived at a beautiful Japanese-style castle. Cherry blossoms were everywhere, colouring the dull world a cute shade of pink. She loved looking at the castle, though she kept an angry expression on.

And then, someone slammed into her.

"Ouch! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

It was Tsurara's voice. Mikan looked up at her and sure enough, it was the Arctic hare. The said hare then stood up quickly and ran away again. Of course, Mikan followed.

Mikan lost track of Tsurara after the hare disappeared so suddenly. She wandered into the castle, opening random doors. She felt out of place there, since her outfit was too western.

So, she decided to borrow a kimono. She called a random woman who was there.

"Excuse me." She said, gazing at the brown-haired woman in front of her.

"Why hello there, aren't you cute?" She replied, putting down the basket she was carrying.

"Um… thank you. I'd like to borrow a kimono, please. I stand out too much wearing this." Mikan gestured to her dress.

"Why, of course! Bibidibobidiboo~" The woman said, flicking her wrist.

Mikan's dress was replaced with a dark blue kimono with cherry blossom petals on it.

"Better." Mika huffed.

Now, she could wander around with ease.

She decided to go to the kitchen first, since she was hungry.

Without bothering to ask for any directions, she just walked and let her legs do the thing. Luck was clearly on her side, since she arrived at the kitchen some time later.

As soon as she slid the door open, she was met with a wonderful sight and smell.

Delicious food was everywhere.

She was drooling.

Just as she was about to take a step into the kitchen though, she heard several screams.

"ARGH, IT'S AN INTRUDER!"

She turned around, her black hair whipping her face. She glared at the blonde man who shouted at her. The man was pointing a broomstick to her, and after squinting at it, she noticed that the broom was actually snapped into two.

"Oh pineapples. He's strong."

She ran away quickly after that, ignoring her stomach which was rumbling in protest.

"No, tummy, no! I wanna live!" She said to it. When she looked behind her, a horde of people carrying broomsticks were chasing her.

Mikan has now developed a phobia of broomsticks.

Just when she thought they were going to capture her, a hare she knew very well leapt in front of the horde of broomstick-carrying people. Both of her arms were spread out, as if trying to shield Mikan, who stopped to admire the cute hare ears.

"Guy-"

BANG.

Somebody shot Tsurara the Arctic hare in the head.

Headshot.

Mikan, who was very shocked at seeing blood spilling slowly from the hare's head, fell down to her knees and stared at the corpse.

"W-Wha… what the heck just happened? Oikawa-san? Oikawa-saaaaaan?" She screamed in agony, shaking the dead Tsurara.

Of course, since Tsurara was dead, she gave no response.

"…"

(o_o)

The alarm clock went off, startling the sleepy girl. Rubbing her eyes, she went to the bathroom to get ready for school.

(._.)

"Oikawa-san." Tsurara was startled when she heard someone calling for her. When she turned around, she was shocked to see Kuroyuri Mikan, her classmate. Rikuo smiled at her, silently telling her to go to her classmate.

"Y-Yes, Kuroyuri-san?"

Mikan was no doubt sweating in nervousness. Why was she doing this anyway? Sighing, she massaged her temples.

"Oikawa-san, I need you to help me sort out some things for the class. Please see me as soon as school ends. Bye." And with that, she walked pass Tsurara, not even waiting for an answer.

Both Tsurara and Rikuo were surprised. Tsurara had a bead of sweat rolling down her head. Rikuo, though, was smiling. He knew how Mikan goes through a very hard time making new friends.

'She finally made the first move…'
