Sorry for the wait

I was gone backpacking in Europe for a month and then I got stuck in a writers block.

That and ragnarok stopped me from writing since it was having all these events that i had to do :P

But now the events are over I can start writing again.

I finally over came my writers block as well. I knew what I wanted to write but it just wasn't working.

I finally managed to get something out and it satisfied me :P

Thanks for waiting.

"Ji-Chan, I'm home!" Mikan announces as she walked through the door.

"Ah, Mikan, you're back again. You know you don't have to visit me all the time. I'll be fine."

"Ji-Chan, I'm not back for a visit. My 1 week break starts today so I came home. I already finished my first semester at school. So I'll be home for a week before I start my second semester." Mikan explains.

"Wow, one semester has gone by so fast. Why don't we go have a talk in the living room and you can show me how much your skills have improved." Ji-Chan suggested.

"That sounds great, let me drop off my bags in my room first. I'll meet you in the living room Ji-Chan."

After a while

"You're learnt a lot Mi-Chan but it seems like you need more practice."

"Awwww, everyone has been saying that to me."

"Well it's true, your skills will not improve if you don't use them."

"Yes Ji-Chan; Anyways I think I'll go visit Hotaru. I haven't seen her in so long."

"It's getting late. Why don't you visit her tomorrow when you wake up."

"But Ji-Chan," Mikan began to protest.

"No buts, it's too late right now to go over to Hotaru's house."

"Yes Ji-Chan." Mikan said defeatedly, "I'll go to tomorrow then. I'm getting hungry now anyways. I'll go cook dinner now." Mikan said as she went to the kitchen.

Next day

"Ji-Chan, I'm going over to Hotaru's. I'll be home for dinner."

"Have fun Mikan, remember stay out of trouble."

"I will Ji-Chan," Mikan replied as she ran out the door.

"YAY, I finally get to see Hotaru. I haven't seen her in so long. I hope she misses me too." Mikan thought as she ran to Hotaru's house.

Ding Dong

"Mi-Chan! How are you? I haven't seen you in a while."

"I'm good Mrs. Imai, I've been busy at the academy so I haven't ablr to come to town a lot."

"Ah yes, I can see you're now an acolyte. Do you like it?"



"Yes I do, I like to help people." Mikan replied with a big smile.

"That's good, it's very important to pick a job you enjoy."

"Mrs. Imai, is Hotaru in?"

"Oh she hasn't told you? Hotaru is still in Geffen at the mage's academy."

"But I thought she would have vacation as well!"

"She should be on vacation right now but she wants to finish her studies faster so she stayed in Geffen."

"Oh, I see" Mikan replied sadly.

"Don't worry Mi-Chan, once both of you graduate you can go off on adventures together!"

"Ah that's right. Well I better get going then! I'll come visit another day Mrs. Imai."

"Have a good time sweetie." Mrs. Imai replied as she watched Mikan run off into town again.

"Hum…what should I do" Mikan asked herself.

"Oh, I know, I can go to my favorite place." Mikan thought as she headed to the south Prontera Gates.

"Good afternoon" She said to the guards as she passed through the gates.

Once outside the city she walked to the west of the gates where there's a small forgotten garden.

Yes, this garden is Mikan's favourite place. This is where she comes to relax and enjoy the beauty of the garden.

The garden is in the shape of a circle. It's quite well hidden as it's all surrounded by trees. Wild flowers now grow where the flower beds are. There are several benches has survived over the years when the garden was forgotten.

"Ah it's been a while, I missed this place." Mikan said as she walked past the benches and sat down below a tree.

"I wish Hotaru was here too. But I guess I'll just have to wait until after graduation to see her again. She's been so busy that she doesn't even respond to my mail anymore." Mikan thought with a sigh.

"I'm getting tired. I couldn't really sleep last night since I was so excited to see Hotaru again. I think I'll take a nap while I'm here" Mikan thought as she closed her eyes and drifted off to dream land

Dawn

Whoooo Whooo, Sounds of creatures can be heard in the garden. (A/N sorry for my horrible imitation of an owl )



Mikan slowly wakes up from her slumber.

"Yawn, that was a great nap. OMG the sun is going down. I must have slept for a long time. I better hurry home before Ji-Chan gets worried." Mikan exclaimed as she jumped up from her sleeping spot.

"Good bye Mr. tree. I'll be back for an other visit as soon as I get the chance." She said as she ran out of the garden.

What Mikan didn't notice was a pair of eyes, watching her every move from the branch above where she was sleeping. The person stepped out of the shadows and sat down under the tree after she left. Once settled he slowly blended in with the shadows once more.
