Coins started flowing into the box and the little girl's face lit up like a Christmas tree.

Happy Birthday, Natsume…

Classroom 4th December

"Okay, all please remember to do the latest homework and hand it in by Friday before you go start preparation for the Christmas Ball! Dismissed!" Narumi cheerfully shouted.

Everyone had walked out of the room but Mikan and Natsume as Mikan told all her friends to go ahead first.

"Ah, Sakura-san, please come here. You too Natsume."

Mikan and Natsume walked towards Narumi reluctantly.

"What do you want Naru?" Natsume asked.

"I would like the two of you to sing in the Christmas Ball next month. Both of you will sing one song. You can be excused from any preparation for the ball. Oh, I almost forgot, please sing a duet too, thanks?"

Mikan started walking away. "I'll take that as a yes Mikan-Chan!" Mikan stopped, considering murdering Narumi but decided not to.

"What about you Natsume-kun?"

"A duet?" Narumi nodded. "With polka?" Narumi nodded again. "Nn." Natsume walked towards the door hands in pocket.

Narumi started grinning to himself and clapping.

Mikan's Room 0900

Friday 6th December

Three knocks were heard on Mikan's door. "Oi, polka it's me open up."

"The door is open and stops calling me that."

Natsume pushed open the door reviling himself in black jeans and a dark blue shirt.

"Ground rules Hyuuga. Do not touch anything in this room. Do not leave this room (living room) unless I allow you to. Do not annoy me in anyway or I will burn to you a crisp with your own alice."

"Whatever polka. Can we please start on the stupid song?"

"…No. I'm too lazy, wake me up in 1 hour." Mikan walked over to her bed room and lied down on her bed.

Natsume, on the other hand ignoring her rules walked into her bed room and lied on the bed next to her.

Mikan opened her eyes looking annoyed. "Hyuuga. What The Hell Are You Doing On My Bed?"

"Breathing…moving…trying to sleep."

"Ah HA HA. It's so funny I forgot to laugh."

"... Mikan, why?"

"Why what Hyuuga?"

"Why are you ignoring us? Why are you keeping away? What ever happened to that girl… that girl I knew 4 years ago?"

"She died with the rest of her cheerfully go-lucky-ness. Is that a problem?"

Yes Mikan, more then you will ever know…

"Please Hyuuga, you're asking all the wrong questions…and they said you were smart."

Silence filled the atmosphere.

"…What is your alice polka?"

"Ah, now we're getting somewhere. It's S.E.C. Steal, Earse and Copy. You really should have found that out by now considering you are also in the dangerous ability."

"Then you left because…"

"I left because of the people I cared and loved. I left to protect everyone." Everything just started following out of Mikan's mouth. "Unlike you Hyuuga, I was given a choice. So I took it. What other harm could they do to me? I was already going to be their puppet anyway. So why should I drag other people with me?"

They spent the next few hours in Mikan's room talking and trying to finish the damned song Narumi told them to write, kinda.

Northern Woods

Persona threw a file towards Mikan. She caught it with one hand and opened it. She took one glace and at it and threw the file back at Persona. She grabbed Keitaro who was standing next to her and disappeared.

1 hour later

An explosion was heard. The building that Mikan and Keitaro were in were up in flames. Mikan was on the grass. Clutching her chest trying to breathe.

"Here's the bloody disk." Mikan had teleported back to the academy.

"What's wrong?"

Mikan didn't say anything. "I'll spare you the pain of imagining. I know that you know what in fucking hell happened and I know that you've already connected them. If you won't need anything else from me, I'll be going now."

"Oh, but I do. I suggest, you stay away from all your little friends. You're getting too close to them for your own good. You wouldn't want the same thing that happened to Kei happen to the rest of them do you? Especially kuro neko" Persona smirked.

Mikan's eyes widened in realization. "You knew… you knew all along that he would…" His smirk widened.

Mikan teleported to her room went straight to her bed and cuddled with her pillow. Tears started following out like an unstoppable waterfall.

"I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…. Please forgive me…I told you…you just didn't…" Mikan's chocked voice muffled into her pillow.

7th December 0905

"Polka, open the door already. I've been standing here for a whole 5 minutes. If you don't open this door I'm breaking it down."

The door slowly creaked open. A red eyed Mikan behind the door in shorts and a white shirt that made her look like she was wearing nothing below if it hadn't been so thin. Shock was written all over Natsume's face. Mikan left the door open and walked back into the room leaving Natsume to walk in after her closing the door in the process.

Mikan lied on her bed head facing side ways. Natsume stared at the girl in confusion. He walked towards her and sat on the bed facing the back of Mikan's head. He leaned closer to her.

"Hey, it'll be okay." Natsume kissed Mikan's forehead.

"You don't understand Natsume…" More and more tears were coming from Mikan's eyes. "P-please, just leave me alone..."

Natsume sighed and walked to Mikan's study room. He took out a piece of paper and started scribbling on it.

20th December

Its five days to the Christmas Ball and Natsume and Mikan have not finished writing their songs. Well, Mikan hadn't even started on her song while Natsume had finished his. Mikan, as seen 13 days ago, was still in her room not allowing anyone, not even Natsume now who had been in her room for 4 days after Kei had…left, was allowed into her room.

In the afternoon, Natsume walked passed Mikan's room back to her own to find strumming and a voice singing. He knocked on the door and the strumming instantly stopped. Not another sound came from Mikan's room that day.

21st December

Natsume walked into his room to find himself stepping on an envelope. He opened the note that was neatly folded inside. It was a song at the end of the song, which was typed out, was a neatly written message in cursive.

Here's the song we're gunna sing for the Christmas Ball. The cords of the song are at the back of this paper. Practice singing it and be ready on the day with your own song for the solo. Cya on the 25th.

-Mikan.

25th December

Morning 0600

Natsume was walking around the academy as he had nothing better to do.

(A/N: yeah, nothing better to do at 6am in the morning…)

He decided to go to the Sakura tree and catch some sleep before he had perform later on but before he could get any closer from where he already was, he could he someone plucking guitar strings and singing at his beloved Sakura tree.

Evanescence-Bring me to life

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where i've become so numb

without a soul

my spirit sleeping

Somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark

Bid my blood to run
Before i come undone
Save me from the nothing i've become

Now that i know what i'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark

Bid my blood to run
Before i come undone
Save me from the nothing i've become
Bring me to life

Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch without

your love darling

Only you are the life

among the dead

Natsume sat beside her and started to sing too.

All this time i can't believe i couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more

Bring me to life

Wake me up

Wake me up inside
I cant wake up

Wake me up inside
save me

Call my name and save me from the dark

Wake me up

Bid my blood to run
I cant wake up

Before i come undone
Save me

Save me from the nothing i've become

Bring me to life
I've been living in lie, there is nothing inside
Bring me to life

Tears ran down Mikan's cheeks as her head leaned on Natsume's shoulder. Natsume looked down on the girl's head. His eyes softened.

"It's my entire fault…" Mikan continued sobbing on Natsume's shoulder.

Haha, okay, I know what some of you guys are thinking… Natsume did not just scream while singing. (The song that is) well, you can just imagine it as he doesn't scream but just sings? Well anyway review anyone? Please?
