Author's Note: I am very sorry for the late update. i had lots of school works. anyway, this is the the second to the last chapter. i hope you like it!

Kira left during Mikan's class. He did this so he won't say goodbye to her because he know he will cry. He might not stop the tears to flow.

"Goodbye Mikan," he said before he went inside the plane.

Her class ended but she failed to see Kira, however, deep inside, she felt relieve that he left. She does not know why nut it made her feel light about things. However, Natsume and Mikan were poles apart even though they are at the same place, same dorm, same dining table and the same class.

Days went on, it was like nothing happened. Just then Mikan received an invitation to go back to America. This time, she was not compelled to do so.

"So what now?" a black-haired guy wearing a mask appeared before her.

"What are you doing here Persona?" she replied.

"Well, I heard you received an invitation. You just got here months ago, and leaving will be harder for you. You even make it hard for Natsume," Persona said,

"What? What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well since you came back, all he do is go to missions"

"Isn't that good?"

"Nope. He turns to be nice sometimes. You have that influence on him Mikan. And I want to stop it. Or else," Persona said threatening her.

"Or else what?" she asked again.

"and you actually believed something wrong will happen to him? With that sound of your voice seems to say you really care for him," Persona said.

"What you did is not funny"

Persona sighed, "actually, the academy allows your romance already. But, when it happens that he's not in good condition, both of you will suffer. He knows that, that's why he keeps his distance."

Mikan sighed. So that's why he seldom talks to me. But why?

"So I suggest. Go there. I know that Kira who ever he is will take good care and love you." Then he just disappeared.

"Was it my fault? I have to talk to Mr. Narumi," Mikan said as she went to the faculty where Narumi was staying.

She knocked on the door and she had her luck when Narumi opened it. At least I don't have to deal with Jinno…

"Hey Mr. Narumi," Mikan said.

"Hey."

"May I talk to you?" mikan asked.

"Sure"

Mikan rested her back on the wall, the same thing that her teacher did.

"what's the news?" Narumi asked cheerfully.

"Well. You see, I received an invitation from America. They want me to go back there," Mikan said while looking down.

"Ah. So you now know."

"Well, I just recently spoke to Persona a while ago."

"What did that guy said?" this time Narumi was getting serious.

"Well, he said, that the academy now allows what Natsume and I might have. But he wants me to go as well. For Nartsume's sake," Mikan said.

"Well, it is true. However, you should follow what your heart feels, and what does it say?" Narumi said with a warm smile. Something she really needs at the moment.

"I want to stay. I love it here. but for Natsume's sake, I might as well go. It won't harm anybody I guess," Mikan said. A sad smile was etched on her face.

"is that your final decision?" Narumi asked her.

"I don't know. Help me," Mikan pleaded.

"I can't help you in that matter. Its your decision. I should not make it for you, its your life and choice Mikan," Narumi explained.

She sighed.

"don't think that I do not want to help you. But this time you have to make the right decision. And fast."

"I know sir. Thank you," Mikan said as she started to walk to her room.

"So, does she know?" Jinno asked.

"Yeah. She will have a hard time making her decision." Narumi replied.

"well we can see that. I hope she makes the right one." Jinno said.

That night, she can't sleep. She keep thinking about the decision she will make. The next day, it gave her a headache.

"Good thing, classes are over. I need a rest. My headache is killing me," Mikan said as she entered her room.

This went on for days. Her friends, the same thing as usual, are worried. However, she made her decision already. And to her, today, something was not right. And she feels it. When she entered her room, another letter was waiting for her. She opened it wad immediately went to the faculty room.

The teachers were waiting for her.

"Mikan, we'll go straight to the point. Will you stay or not?" Jinno asked.

She sighed.

"I thought about it. It gave me recurring headaches and sleepless nights. I've decided." Mikan said acting firm and ready but deep inside she was not.

"and what is your decision?" Narumi asked.

"I've decided to leave and grant their invitation."

The teachers were shocked. They thought she will stay.

"then you have to leave tomorrow," Jinno said.

"I understand. But please do not tell my friends about this," Mikan pleaded, "I want to tell them when I am there already."

"Are you sure?" Narumi asked.

"Actually, I am not. But I guess I have to do this. For Natsume's and my sake." Mikan said.

Then she walked away. Tears wont stop falling from her cheeks. She knows this sacrifice wont make good for her.

"Does she have to sacrifice so much?" Narumi asked.

"We don't actually know. But so sad, she will do it again for him" another teacher replied.

The next day, everything was fixed. The only thing missing was the girl who will make the biggest sacrifice of her life. All students were in their class except for Mikan.

The plane was there, waiting for her.

On the other hand, Natsume was called by Jinno.

"yes? Is there something you want?" Natsume said roughly.

"Mikan, is leaving right at this moment. You are a lucky guy. She does all the sacrifices just for you. For you to do good. she might leave now and never returen," Jinno said.

"Why are you telling this to me? What we have will never be allowed. It will always be that way," Natsume said. deep inside, he wants to run away from his teacher and follow her.

"the Academy had finally allowed that kind of affection you both have. Its was not allowed for the kind of class you had but you were the exception. Now she is about to board the plane. What will you do now?"

Then, Natsume run as fast as he can. But he was too late. The plane already left.

"Mikan"

"Mikan" he screamed. He was too late. Everything was starting to fall into pieces. He lost her. Natsume felt numb. For once in his life, he can't feel anything.

"Mikan…"
