Thanks for the reviews guys

Thanks for the reviews guys! Love ya all! This is the second last chapter and I'm preparing and extra credit chapter for some kind of the future. Just read on…

Journey to the Past…

"No use blaming her now, she's gone," Natsume sighed. "Though I still feel like I need to punch her, god dammit!"

She's never gone from the world, my boy…

Natsume jerked from the bench as he heard a very unfamiliar voice. "What was that?!"

She's always with you. Never leaving your side…

"What are you talking about? Who are you talking about?" Natsume asked.

Indeed, she has never left your side. My half-soul will never break her promises…you'll soon know…

"Your half-soul? I don't even know you!" Natsume shouted. "And don't play with me! Just show yourself!"

She's always with you…always…

"Mikan, huh? If you're talking about Mikan being a half soul…what a lie," Natsume smirked. "Whoever you are, I know she always was with me, but she's no longer here. Leave me alone."

Natsume walked back towards the car and drove it back to his grounds. Oddly enough, he actually remembered the way he got back to his place. When he stepped out of the car, everyone stared at him.

"Is he the rumored brother to Reo-sama?" A maid whispered.

"He must be someone who's totally abnormal, until Kaito-sama even has to lock him up," A man said and chuckled.

"Abnormal? How true…," Natsume in fast speed appeared in front of the man. "Would you like to see why?" The man was pale and shocked. He stared and the eyes of the mad a ferocious Natsume glaring at him. It was as if he was just waiting to eat him up.

"That woman is your wife isn't it? Makita Joyu," Natsume pointed towards a young female woman scared when she heard her name being called out. Then out of nowhere fire danced around her body. Her hair caught the fire and so did her clothes. Everyone around her ran away from her. The heat was intoxicating; you can hardly even breathe air.

"NO! STOP IT! DON'T KILL HER!" The man forcefully tried to escape Natsume's grip. Natsume smirked and pushed the man to the ground. The fire disappeared and the woman was miraculously fine.

"I only kill when I have to," Natsume glared and walked inside the main hall. It was Natsume's first time walking inside the main house in years. Everything looked the same to him. There was a hall with pictures of his family spending time with Mikan's clan.

"So you've found this room already? That was fast," Kaito showed up and said.

Natsume stared at his father and just walked past him without a care. Kaito gripped Natsume's wrist. "Her body is to be cremated in 20 minutes, some of her clan members are there already, and I think you should go as well."

"Why bother? She was the one who wanted to leave me in this forsaken world; I'm just fulfilling her wishes. I will never want to see her stupid face ever again," Natsume smiled and started to walk towards his room in the jungle.

"You will now stay in the main house, you are the true heir to this clan," Kaito said.

"So when you realized that I have the power to kill you, then you let me stay in this so called 'nice' place. What a joke, I'm staying in the god damned room. At least mom would appreciate it," Natsume said.

"Don't bring up your mother, Natsume," Kaito scolded.

"Why? Because you locked her up in the forbidden room when you were young too, right? She had the same powers as me, only she didn't have enough strength to live on, she died after giving birth. You didn't even want anyone to see her! All you tell to everyone is that 'my wife is the prettiest person in my life' or 'her death will be my death'! ALL A BUNCH OF LIES! SHE'S DEAD! And how about you? Well, lookee here, you're standing straight and tall. What a healthy body, I assume you're just dying inside!" Natsume sarcastically remarked.

"Natsume! How dare you!" Kaito's anger rises and nearly slapped Natsume until Natsume blocked it by catching Kaito's wrists.

"Just like how you used to treat mom! Mom was just like Mikan, wasn't she? And you were…hmm…Reo? Hahah! It's like history is repeating itself over and over again. But now the weak is strong, and the strong is weak, what are you going to do about it now?" Natsume mocked.

Natsume, it wasn't Kaito-sama's fault. He was trying to undo the past but he can't undo what he is!

"I understand that, Mikan. But I still won't stay in the main house until I have the real right to, like when I am known as his son," Natsume said. He let go of his father's wrist and disappeared and returned to his chamber.

That was mean, Natsume… Kaito-sama was just trying to treat you like he should have.

"You have got to be kidding me, Mikan. He's just acting that way like he treats Reo, he only treats people who's going to be his successor that way," Natsume sat on his bed childishly and grabbed a pillow and burnt it.

He saw a glimpse of some brown colored strings from under his bed and grabbed hold of it. It was small doll that he recognizes it as his 'mother'.

"You knew this was my mother's didn't you?" Natsume hold the doll in his hand and started playing with it.

"It looks a lot like you, you know? Except for the fact that it doesn't talk," Natsume frowned. He threw the doll in mid air and burnt it to ashes.

"Now since mom is gone, and you are gone and not to mention Reo is gone, LIFE IS SO PEACEFUL." Natsume finally and unknowingly smiled and jumped on his bed. He took out all of the mangas that Mikan has bought for him and chucks it outside of his window.

Her body is to be cremated in 20 minutes, some of her clan members are there already, and I think you should go as well… Echoed Natsume inner voice.

"Do you want me to see your lifeless body?!" Natsume asked. Seconds past but he got no reply. "MIKAN?! Hello?!" Natsume asked and raised his eyebrow. He jerked from his bed when he saw his father in the Mercedes from his window. He left his room and shouted, "OI! MIKAN!!"

No reply…

"DAMN IT!" Natsume punched a tree bark.

"Natsume-sama!" A maid came rushing into the wretched jungle. "Kaito-sama told me to tell you her body is going to be cremated NOW!" The maid breathed in heavily.

There was no reply to my call just now… Mikan's cremated body… Natsume thought.

Flashback…

"Did you know Natsume, after your mother died and before her body was cremated, I met her couple of times. Spirits can only survive at earth when their lifeless body still exists here. But when her body was cremated, I never saw her again, but I know she's still with me," Kaito-sama said.

"Weird story, father," Reo laughed. Natsume shrugged and smiled as he listened.

End of Flashback…

"Cremated…SHIT! NO WAY!!" Natsume shouted and rushed back towards the limo standing by the gates. The driver smiled when he saw Natsume running and let the passenger door open.

"Sorry! I need this on my own!!" Natsume made a fire around the limo so no one could get close to it. As he was the only one who could stand the heat of his own flames, he rushed into the car and stepped inside the driver's seat.

"Sayonara," Natsume smirked and drove the mad flaming car around the whole region. From a GPS…wait a minute, you don't even need a GPS to track him, if you're on the moon; you'll be able to see the car on fire moving towards the cemetery already.

Natsume slowly got out from his car and walked his way towards the coffin in the middle of the Sakura Clan Cemetery grounds.

Natsume saw Kaito smiling when he saw him. Natsume spat to his left side and continued walking. His shoulder shoved over Kaito's sleeve and Natsume stood in front of the coffin.

"You do know, Natsume. She's your brother's fiancée which means she is part of our clan, and our clan's bodies will only be burnt by our own fire," Kaito explained.

"Just what do you take me for? An idiot?" Natsume asked. "Besides, I have no intention of burning her."

"What are you talking about?" Hatori-san rushed next to Natsume. "Her life is a part of you now! It's your responsibility!"

"SEE? This is why I don't want a longer life. I have responsibilities. It's lame and useless. I already told her to not mess with my life, and look what happened…WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?!" Natsume shouted as he felt drops of warm water flowing from his eyes. One drop slit into his mouth…"YUCK! It's salty!" Natsume spat his saliva to the ground and wiped his face.

"Those are tear drops, Natsume-san," Hatori said.

"I KNOW WHAT IT IS! But JUST WHAT IS IT DOING ON MY FACE?!" Natsume asked in a tone.

"That's really hard to answer, my boy," Kaito sighed. "Are you regretting something?"

"No, I've never done anything wrong in my life in the first place," Natsume said.

"Well…are you sad in a way?" Hatori asked.

"Why bother being sad? She's dead!" As Natsume said that the tears didn't stop flowing. "JESUS! For god's sake, remove these bloody watery things from my face!!" Natsume shouted. He heated his body then his tears dried up.

"You're depressed, Natsume-kun," Kaito said. "Did she mean that much to you, then?"

"NO!" Natsume shouted out loud. Then he crossed his arms and started to think.

"If you won't burn her…then I will," A member from the clan walked out. "My name is Miyamai Takumi, your second cousin. I have the flame power as you, only not that powerful."

"It will have to do, Miyamai-san. It's the only way," Kaito said.

"FINE!! Sheesh! I'll do this myself!" Natsume tightened his grip. He clasped his hands together then suddenly there were cracks on the ground and it spreads in more or less a circle which circulates Natsume and Mikan's coffin. Between the cracks, a burst of wind pressure blows out from it and Natsume's hair flew around as the wind danced with it. Without so much as a second, Mikan's coffin burns in a blue flame, the hottest flame known. The wooden coffin decomposed and all that's left in the fire was Mikan's body.

Nothing happened, really. Her body is covered in flames, but it didn't do any harm to her at all. Natsume tightened his hands and a bigger flame rises and so did the wind pressure. Her body stood still and didn't even flinch at the caught of the flame.

"Damn it!" Natsume went and sat next to Mikan's body. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR BLOODY BODY?!"

"What happened?" Kaito asked.

"I have no idea," Hatori answered.

"DAMN IT! DIE ALREADY!!" Natsume stood up and faced Mikan's face and his tear drops fell on to her body. As his tear drops touched her body, the spot where the tear touched dissolved like acid.

"What in the world…?" Natsume asked. He wiped his tears and looked around and saw other people being confused as well. Natsume slowly touched Mikan's arm, then it dissolves faster. Her hand melted and there was no sign of blood. Like her body is a figurine, made of wax and is melting to Natsume's heated body.

"Amazing… How is this possible?" Hatori asked Kaito.

"It's not. There's no such thing," Kaito answered.

"She's god's favorite daughter, huh?" Natsume whispered.

"She's a miracle child. Only the miracle will not bring her back ever again," Kaito said. "They're connected somehow."

"You've forgotten that this is not a matter of the Fire Casters clan any longer. It's our Sakura clan. Mikan is our 74th miracle generation daughter where she can control the wind, earth and mind, I don't know how it works though," Hatori said. "But what I heard from the precious clan head, Mikan will be the only one to bring our clan down due to her red string."

"Your clan believes in the red string?" Kaito asked. Aikawa Sakura never mentioned this to him at all.

"Our clan created the myth of the red string, but Mikan's bond with somehow we all know is Natsume is stronger than anyone but it now looks like it's over," Hatori continued.

"That sounded as if they were a couple and engaged for a long time," A member said and so other people nodded.

"I guess it's my fault for not letting them be together longer," Kaito sighed. Then Hatori tapped on Kaito's shoulder and shook his head.

"They've actually been together longer than you've known. My dear Mikan seems to always skip dinner and ask to pack it as a leftover to eat it in the morning, and yet, it always goes missing by that time of day. She escapes our home by her window and her little loyal bird Chi-Chi would always manage to grab or steal it from the chefs. She's clever yet dense," Hatori smiled and Kaito nodded in agreement.

"HUAAAAAA!!" Natsume stretched his body as if just woke up from sleep. "Since her body is now totally gone, I can go home and sleep. What a waste of my precious time," Natsume yawned. "Oh, take care of the rest of the ceremony, aite. Do the eating and praying stuff, I'm through." Natsume walked the path when all the members made way for him and smirked and placed his hands in his pocket and walked along the road.

"Na-NATSUME!" Kaito shouted. Natsume got into the car and smiled at the window and laughed as he drove off to the cliff by the ocean. He went there and saw two birds continuously flying over the cliff. One had a small locket on its neck so Natsume knew it's definitely ChiChi.

Natsume held his hand out so ChiChi flew down and landed on his finger. "What're you doing here at this time of hour? I thought you ought to be at Mikan's funeral as well," Natsume said.

"The bird knows well that she's not there. Her spirit departed from Earth to Heaven at this point. This is her last step," A woman walked behind Natsume with a white cloak and her hood is on. She had deep red eyes and long raven hair.

"Who are you?" Natsume asked still ruffling with ChiChi's feathers.

"A woman who knows the truth about everything going on in this world. People calls my creator god and other knows me as an angel," The angel answered. She walked over and instantly ChiChi flew to her. "I have good vibes is what he said. He thinks you're a simple person in love with his creator."

"Mikan is his creator?" Natsume asked.

"She's as lonely as you were without your…your… breathes …your mother," The angel gulped when she mentioned that. "Her father died and left her with a huge amount of tasks even before she becomes of age. Debts to finish, clients to help and approve and even help out with the house."

"You lost me when you uttered the word mother," Natsume said. "All I know for sure is that for one thing, Mikan killed herself to torture me. Or else what other reasons would there be for her to commit suicide at this kind of place."

"It was only to save you. She had no bad intentions, it was just to save a lost soul," The angel continued sighing and lifted her hand and ChiChi flew about in the sky.

"What do you mean when you said she was as lonely as me when I lost my mother? I haven't even seen my mother. All I know is that she died when she gave birth to me," Natsume said and folded his arms staring at the angel.

"Would you like to let me tell you a story? A story about your past?" The angel asked and Natsume merely nodded and continued to stare at her. "Your mother didn't die when she gave birth to you. She was still alive. Her soul is connected with Sakura Mikan's soul. Her name Amane Natsume. You are the older one of the Hyuuga twins. She called you Natsume. A name connected with the holy soul Mikan. Your father called the other, Reo, meaning full of spirit (I'm just making things up). While you were being brought up by Kaito, your mother stayed in the shed, afraid to face you. The moment she feels touched by something, out of power the thing will be burnt to ashes. That's the reason why she was kept alone in the dark where she couldn't harm a soul."

"And let me guess, you're some kind of a projector my father installed here by the cliff as a holographic angel persuading to tell me he is actually a good guy protecting something dangerous. Well ha-ha, I'm laughing my heart out and I am totally displeased!" Natsume said refusing to believe anything she said. "Next thing you're going to tell me is that you're actually my mother and asking me to back up Reo from going to jail. NOT ON YOUR LIFE! He's the cause Mikan died!"

"I am your mother, fool!" The angel shouted.

"What did I tell 'ya? I knew dad would do something as stupid as this. All I know for sure is that my mom should be a whole lot prettier than you. I mean, she should have Mikan's colored hair. She created and left that doll to me and dad told me to think it was mom," Natsume said.

"I created that on behalf of god's daughter. She is too beautiful to even be painted on. The doll merely represents my love for her," The angel continued.

"Yeah yeah. I get it, she's god's favorite and yadda-yadda-yadda," Natsume said. "Look, I am pleased to see such a beautiful lady in front of me but the fact is, nothing can divert my mind at this moment. So shoo! Scram! Get out of my sight!" Natsume shouted.

"How dare you speak like that to your own mother?!" With the angel's scream, part of the sky turned into a black grey gloomy sight. First lightning stroke and then followed by thunder. Only just the second the lightning hits Natsume, a huge wind bring sakura petals with it burst around the light and was disposed and destroyed. The angel suddenly kneeled and disappeared.

"I guess your time for playing is over, huh? Come out already, father. Playing around me is useless," Natsume said and spat.

"You're funny the more I look at it. I could have fallen for you if you weren't princess' lover," A girl with a long ponytail swooped down. She had pink ponytail hair; she was quite short and had TWO PINK AND PURPLE BUTTERFLY WINGS BEHIND HER! "It seems you've hurt Amane-chan's patience. I wonder if you'll break mine. I'll let you on a little secret, I'm Mikan hime-sama's slave, so I do everything she tells me to. Oh and since Amane-chan is Mikan hime-sama's half soul, if she wishes to kill you, I WON'T HESITATE!" The little girl smirked and stared at Natsume. "So you're a Fire Caster."

"I'm getting more and more confused right now!" Natsume said.

"Follow me!" The girl said and raised her hand above her head and flipped it over then suddenly Natsume's whole surrounding turned into a daze. He saw visions of the wind reversing it's effects, the trees moving left to right and right to left, cat walking backwards and the time was when he saw ChiChi flew above the sky. "Fire Caster! This is the moment, the holy soul departed." The girl said and sat on the bench near the park. Natsume faced the cliff and saw Mikan looking over the cliff to the ocean.

"WAIT! MIKAN! NO!" Natsume's instinct told him to run and catch her. She looked back at him and smiled.

I just hope you'll be as free as ChiChi, Natsume. Good luck with your operation. Mikan smiled and stood on the edge of the cliff.

"MOU YAMETE, MIKAN!! (Mikan, stop it!!)" Natsume shouted and grabbed Mikan which…he did.

"Na-Natsume?" Mikan asked shocked. She looked back and pulled her hand away from Natsume's grip. "What are you doing here? Looking like…that?" Mikan asked. Surely enough Natsume looked weird. He was wearing his pajamas and floating off the ground while looking straight at Mikan. "If you're stopping me it's no use! Did you bring him here, ChiChi?" Mikan eyed the ponytailed girl on the bench.

"A wise eye Mikan hime-sama!" ChiChi smiled. "We are now in the past Fire Caster. You are asleep during this period so I brought you here as a dream. Confusingly speaking, you are sleeping at your room before the surgery and you're also sleeping in the future on the bench out of fatigue from cremating Mikan hime-sama's body! So I'm explaining two impossible things within one breath. That's a first." ChiChi smiled and leaped over from the bench to Natsume's shoulders. "We won't bother you now hime-sama. Continue what you were doing!" ChiChi said and pulled back Natsume.

"You've totally ruined the mood ChiChi!" Mikan shouted then she smiled. "Goodbye,…Natsume." She waved and went head first into the ocean.

"NO! WAIT! MIKAN!!" Natsume shouted.

"YAAAAH!" Natsume shouted and realized it was his room. He looked around and felt bumps on his head and body and realized it was the night he got into a fight with Reo. "Déjà vu." Natsume said and rubbed his head. The he felt light headed when he didn't feel any pain at all. He found himself floating above his own body and stared at his own actions. He saw burning the pieces of glass and ceramics. Then he saw his father running into his room shouting about a donor. Natsume continued to stare at himself. He was confused, lifeless, and shocked when he had the dream of Mikan dying. That's when he lost it at the hospital when he saw Mikan's hair on the corpse bed.

That's when he saw Mikan smiling next to his bed when the surgery was going on. Mikan. Natsume said but she didn't hear a word.

"We are now in between time and reality, Fire Caster. Communication is prohibited. Hime-sama's moment just now was only allowed to prove you wrong about your thoughts that she's a bad person. We should go back. Amane-sama is keeping watch over your body and told me the body is waking up on its own," ChiChi said and raised her hand over her head once again.

"Amane? You mean the lady who's in the holographic projector," Natsume said.

"She's really your mother, Fire Caster. And I am not lying. She was the one who told Mikan hime-sama about you that's why Mikan-sama insisted on visiting the Fire Casters clan years ago, just to find the boy with the broken heart," ChiChi said and gave a sweet smile to Natsume and flipped her hand over and the whole entire scene was blurring and Natsume found himself back in his body after sleeping on the ground.

"I guess, you want me to live on, Mikan," Natsume smiled and went back to the car.

OK, I know you're totally confused or maybe not satisfied and I'm absolutely sorry!! The next would conclude the whole story and the extra chapter is basically what happens in the future for Natsume. I'M SORRY!!
