Authors note: ok.. I'm not sure whether she would be 12 or not so I just said she was 12 anyway. If I'm wrong please correct me if I'm wrong xD anyways enjoyyy.

Normal POV:

Shortly after Mikan left the academy 4 figures fell from a time portal and into class B's classroom, scaring the hell out of the students currently in their lesson. The students immediately recognised their 2 classmates, teacher and student teacher.

"Hotaru! Natsume! Are you okay? What happened? How did you get here?"

The new arrivals were plagued with questions that they were too weak to answer.

"SHUT UP" BAKA BAKA BAKA. Hotaru used her baka gun on those asking the questions and lifted Natsume onto her shoulder. "Help me get him and those two to the infirmary"

Hotaru and her brother were both fine but Nodachii, due to stress from staying in the portal too long, and Natsume both needed to be taken to the infirmary where they were treated immediately.

Nodachii woke up after a few hours but Natsume didn't. Everyone was growing increasingly worried the longer they waited for him to awake.

Mikan's POV:

Hi, my names Mikan Sakura, I am 12 years old and I am currently living in a small village with my ji-chan. I live a happy life, living with my ji-chan, and I love him very much…. Even if he scolds me all the time for getting bad grades all the time and not doing my homework. But I can't help but think there is something missing from my life. I feel as if there is a huge gap missing, but I can't think what. I have pondered over this many times, and searched my mind for what used to be in place of the gap, but I can never find it.

"OI MIKAN!" I could hear ji-chan's voice from a mile away.

"Y-yes? What is it Ji-chan?" He looked really pissed, then I saw what was in his hand, my unfinished homework, which was due tomorrow.

"YOU TOLD ME YOU FINISHED YOUR HOMEWORK!" Seriously ji-chan is really scary when he's mad, but I can't help it, I'm too stupid to be able to understand that homework.

"W-well it's not completely true… B-but I finished what I could! I just don't understand it ji-chan! It's too hard!" Ji-chan started to calm down.

"Well why didn't you tell me? I could have helped you ya know." I never thought of that.

"It never crossed my mind to ask… sorry"

"It's fine, just come over here already and I'll help you. No Granddaughter of mine is going to be behind in class."

"Thank you ji-chan!"

After ji-chan helped me finish my homework we had dinner and then I crawled into bed. I once again fell into that strange dreamland. It's been happening for a while now. As soon as I fall asleep strange images flow through my mind, I see people I have never met before but feel as though they are special to me. I see different scenes flash through my mind over and over again, some are happy, some sad, others so tragic and depressing I wake up screaming. One of those scenes inperticular sticks in my mind, it always comes last and when it plays I almost always wake up crying.

"Natsume! Natsume please! You promised you would always be by my side didn't you? Natsume!" The body lays motionless in front of me as I cry and cry.

Natsume. Who is Natsume? Why am I crying for him? Is he someone special to me? I don't know the answers to any of these and when I tell ji-chan about the dreams he simply brushes it off and says it's just a silly dream. I wish I could believe that, but I think those people in my dreams could be what is creating the large gap in my heart. Maybe I knew them in another life? I don't think I will ever know.

Natsume's POV:

I can't see anything and my body hurts all over. All I can here are her cries,

"Natsume! Natsume! You said you would always be by my side! Natsume!" The shouts are eventually drawn out by her loud sobbing. I want to reach out to her, to hold her and comfort her, but there is nothing there.

As I lay there motionless, tortured by the sound of her crying, a faint light appears above me. I reach out towards it and here more voices,

"Is he gonna be okay?" "Of course he is, its Natsume!" "Hey shut it! Look he's waking up!"

I slowly open my eyes to find my classmates hovering above me, worry etched on their faces.

"Natsume! Thankgod you're awake!" It was Ruka, my best friend. His face full of relief as he smiled at me.

"Ruka, what happened? Where am I? Where's Mikan?"

"You're in the infirmary Natsume, you almost died you idiot! You have to be more careful, especially with your condition,"

"What about Mikan? Is she ok? Where is she?" I was growing more uneasy by the second as I saw the smiles disappear from my friend's faces.

"Well? Where is she? Someone tell me already!"

At last someone spoke up, it was Sumire, "Natsume-kun… Mikan is… Mikan's gone Natsume. She had to leave the academy. I'm sorry, She left right before you returned,"

"What? Why did she have to leave?!" I quickly sat up as Ruka placed his hand on my shoulder, "Natsume, she used the last of her alice trying to save you. I'm sorry"

"But she has family here! Her uncle! Couldn't she have just stayed with him?!" Ruka shook his head, "I'm sorry Natsume, it would have been too dangerous, they erased her memories and sent her back to her ji-chan.

"Dammit!" I have no idea how I should be feeling right now. Relief that she's safe? Sadness that she's gone? Anger that she no longer knows who I am? We swapped our alice stones for god's sake! How can she forget that? No… I won't accept this, as soon as I am able, I will go looking for her, I will find her and make her remember. I promise that.
