Mikan, Natsume, Aiyumi and Kazuki were standing in the room like they were frozen.

"What are you guys doing?" Everyone looked at Ryuu.

"Come on all in the booth."

"All of us? At the same time?" Mikan asked while Aiyumi and Natsume were already in the booth with Kazuki following them. "

What else. We have to see the cemetery between you guys so choose a song and play it." Ryuu told more of demanded them.

Chapter 12

Memories by Within Temptation

In this world you try

Not leaving me alone behind

There's no other way

I'll pray to the Gods let him stay

The memories ease the pain inside

Now I know why

All of my memories keep you near

In silent moments imagine you'd be here

All of my memories

Keep you near

The silent whispers,

Silent tears

Made me promise I'd try

To find my way back in this life

I hope there is a way

To give me a sign you're okay

Reminds me again

It's worth it all

So I can go home

All of my memories keep you near

In silent moments imagine you'd be here

All of my memories keep you near

The silent whispers, silent tears

Together in all these memories

I see your smile all the memories I hold dear

Darling you know I love you

Till the end of time

All of my memories keep you near

In silent moments imagine you'd be here

All of my memories keep you near

The silent whispers, silent tears

All of my memories~~~

Mikan closed her eyes and took a deep breath and opened them again.

"Why did we have to sing that song again? It's so high!" Mikan pouted.

"Mikan I know a higher song and anyway that fitted you. It was real nice." Aiyumi replied.

Ryuu came through the door. "Well please follow me to the meeting room where you'll sign the contracts." He walked out of the room.

The four followed behind him.

"Ok. . .you, you and you have to fill in more papers then Mikan so I suggest that you guys start first." Ryuu pointed to Natsume, Aiyumi and Kazuki.

The three of them nodded and took the stack of papers and started writing franticly.

Mikan reached for her papers and wrote normally with no stress at all unlike the others.

"Hey do you guys wanna go get a drink?" Mikan asked as they were walking out of the studio.

"Nn."

"kay"

"Sure."

They all replied at once. (sure you can guess who said what) Mikan smiled.

"Can we go to Dinki3s?" Aiyumi asked.

"It's real expansive there right?" Mikan asked.

"Mikan it doesn't matter. We're going there to celebrate our band!" Aiyumi exclaimed.

"She right." Natsume said with a slight smile.

Mikan smile and nodded. The four continued walking down the streets.

"So what do you guys want to drink?" Mikan asked as they got a seat and looked at the menu.

"Um I think I'll go for a vanilla-milkshake."

"I think I'll go for a strawberry one. What are you going to get Natsume?"

"Coke-float." Natsume replied.

"Make that two floats." Kazuki added.

"I'll go order." Aiyumi said leaving towards the counter.

"I'll follow you Ai." Mikan said getting up.

"So Natsume, what have you been up to? I haven't seen you for a while." Kazuki asked.

"Not much really, besides that long period of getting Tsubasa's sister back."

"Tsubasa had a sister?"

"HAS and yea he does." Natsume replied.

"I would love to meet her seeing that she is Tsubasa's sister." Kazuki said sighing.

"You've already met her."

"I have? Who is it?"

"The lead singer in our band."

"Mikan is Tsubasa's sister? Well their personality's are pretty alike."

"Oh you didn't know that Mikan was Tsubasa's sister?" Aiyumi asked with a tray consisting of their drinks.

"Yea I didn't know. . ."

"Where's Mikan?" Natsume asked.

"Oh she thought we might want some fries or something so she waiting for it. I wanted to wait with her but she insisted on me coming back here."

"Here she comes now with the fries." Natsume said pointing towards a silly looking Mikan carrying a tray full of fries.

"Mikan don't you think you bought a bit too much?" Aiyumi asked.

"Not really, I'm sure they can eat a lot." Aiyumi nodded.

The four starting chatting while eating and drinking. (lol that sounded like they were drinking alcohol)

"I better leave first I have a dance class later." Aiyumi said gathering her things.

"Ehh! Ai you learn dance? What type?" Mikan asked surprised.

"Yea I learn dance, er I learn both ballet and jazz. I guess you could say almost everything I do is related to Arts. Well I gotta go ja!" Aiyumi ran off.

"Er. . . so whatcha wanna do now?" Mikan asked staring at the diction of where Aiyumi left.

"I'm going home. I still have homework all the teachers dumped on me before I came here. Bye!" Kazuki said walking in the opposite diction of Aiyumi.

Mikan and Natsume were left there staring at random things. A few minutes later Natsume started walking away.

"Ehh Natsume where are you going?" Mikan asked.

"Home, don't tell me you want to stand out there starting at the cars passing by." Natsume answered not looking back at all.

Mikan caught up to Natsume and quietly walked behind him. They walked all the way back home.

"Tadaima!" Mikan shouted as she entered the mansion. Mikan and Natsume went to their own rooms.

'Once upon time I believe it was a Tuesday when-' "Hello?" Mikan answered her phone.

"Mikan-chan, this is Aiyumi. I just thought of part of a song we could use I'll let you hear it tomorrow. Meet me in the garden kay? Ja!" Aiyumi hang up. Mikan stared at her phone in surprise.

She shrugged and flopped onto her bed and turned on the radio. A few hours passed.

"Mikan time for dinner." Miki said as she passed Mikan's room. Mikan off the radio and ran down the stairs.

Everyone started eating dinner they were chatting here and there.

"So how was your day Mikan-chan?" Kaoru asked smiling.

"It was fine, though-" Mikan sneezed.

"Eh Mikan are you alright?" Kaoru asked worried.

"Ah I'm ok-" Mikan sneezed again.

"Mikan are you sure you're alright?" Kaoru asked again more worried. Mikan sneezed one more time and her face turned red. Kaoru, worried placed her hand on Mikan's forehead.

"My, my Mikan, you're burning up." Kaoru exclaimed.

"I'm afraid you can't go to school tomorrow."

"I'll bring her up to her room to rest." Natsume said getting up.

Natsume walked Mikan to her room, he tucked Mikan into the bed as she was feeling cold. Natsume sat beside her.

"How did you get sick in the first place?" He asked.

"I think it was being in the rain today. . ." Mikan said pretty weakly

"Did you get sick a lot when you lived with Hotaru?" Natsume asked. Mikan just nodded.

"Did she give you medicine?"

"Erm. . .not really whenever I got sick I would have to take care of myself and all. I can't get to Subaru either since he's always working."

Natsume nodded.

"Well I'll go now. Rest well, night." Natsume kissed Mikan's forehead and left. (Aw)

"Is Mikan ok?" Aoi asked Natsume as he slipped back into his chair.

"I'm not sure." Natsume replied putting a piece of chicken into his mouth.

"How can you not know and you can still sit there so calm! Don't you care about her at all?" Aoi shouted standing up. (Whoa bit too emotional much?)

"Aoi-chan calm down." Kaoru said putting her hand on Aoi's shoulder.

"Calm down! How am I supposed to do that? How would Tsubasa feel?" Aoi was fuming mad now. (Forgot to tell you Tsubasa isn't with them today)

"I'm sorry, please excuse me." Aoi walked back to her room.

Mikan's POV (when Aoi was screaming her head off)

Ugh I feel dead. I wonder what their shouting about. Oh dear, it's giving me a headache. Come one guys please stop shouting my head is already pounding. Ah it stopped I wonder what happened. I could swear that was Aoi shouting.

Demo what happened? I really –yawn- wonder. After that I slowly drifted off to sleep. I dreamed about my parents and I. We were having a picnic but all of a sudden we were surrounded by fire.

They told me to stay away but for some reason I didn't listen. I went forward and touched the fire. My whole body started burning. My parents looked at me with shocked faces.

That shocked face soon turned into a frown. A minute later they disappeared into thin air. I tried shouting their names but noting came out. It was only then when I actually felt my body burning. The pain was unbearable it almost felt. . . . real.

I opened my eyes with a sweat covered face with Natsume next to me looking very concerned.

"Are you ok? You were screaming." He asked.

"I-I'm f-fine. It was just a nightmare. Nothing to worry about." I said giving him one of my cheerful smiles trying to convince him.

Natsume's POV

Man, she's giving me one of her smiles again. It's so obvious that she was scared out of her wits! I really can't believe how she can actually show me a smile like that. It's like her mind can just remove any type of disturbing thought just like that.

It's so freaky. Really, sometimes I can't get what goes on in her mind at all. She really has lots a mood swings doesn't she? –sigh- Mikan, when will you really open up to anyone? Ever since your parents died that smile has faded yet its still there.

Just waiting for some sad person to come up to you, wanting you to make them happy. It's really mind racking, for someone like you, who has gone through so much, yet smile like the sun. You're really one amazing girl. . . .

Normal POV

"Mikan, I know you're lying. Seriously tell me the truth." Natsume said holding her shoulder. Mikan stared at Natsume for a while.

"I-it was about my. . . .parents. We were having a picnic and well. . . . su-suddenly there was. . . .f-fire around us-" Natsume hugged her not letting her say anymore.

"It's ok. It's not real. Just forget about it. It will never happen." Natsume said trying to comfort her. Tears ran down Mikan's eyes. Natsume and Mikan stayed in that position until Mikan fell asleep.
