Natsume's POV:

Beep... Beep... Beep...

"When is she going to wake up? It's been 1 week already!"

"Give her time. I'm sure she will wake up soon. She is getting stronger,"

"Stronger?! Her heart rate is going down!"

"Calm down, Natsume. Hotaru. She will wake up. Mikan is a strong girl. And thanks to him, she will definitely live,"

A low growl was heard.

And then silence took over again, except for the soft beeps.

Suddenly, Mikan started to stirred. Natsume jumped up from his seat. His chair clattered backwards.

"Oji-chan..." she moaned.

"Mikan?"

Mikan shivered, and started to trash about.

Natsume rushed to her side, patting her a little, trying to calm her down. She stopped trashing about, but was still shuddering.

Mikan's POV:

I remember feeling intense pain. I remember cold welcoming arms carrying me. I remember slipping away from the world.

But what happened? How did it become like that? I slowly opened my eyes. And saw nothing but blackness. Are they still close? Did I turn blind? Why won't anyone tell me?!

I saw a tiny light. Far far away. I stood up. Or at least I thought I did. I ran towards the light (A/N: So cheesy).

Mikan...

That voice. It's just so... needles pierced my heart. Familiar.

"Oji-chan!"

An old wrinkled face smiled a thousand sadness. And stepped backwards.

"Oji-chan?"

He shook his head. I tried to run towards him. The faster I go, the further he went.

"You can't Mikan."

"What?"

"You can't be with me yet. It's not time,"

My heart lurched.

"I'm just here to say that I'm fine Mikan. And of course to see you. But you have to go on. You have people who care about you,"

He smiled. This time with no hint of sadness. He disappeared. Leaving me for the second time. Leaving my heart aching more.

The light was still there. But it was growing smaller. No! I still have a chance!

After a while I began to pant. It's no use. I called out to him, hoping he will let me go to him. Let me touch him. Let me feel those warm loving hands around me again...

A few moments later, I was alone again. In the darkness.

I crouched down and sobbed. Help me.

Don't leave me here. I don't deserve this. Save me...

GET ME OUT OF THIS INSANE WORLD!

I felt a warm hand touch my freezing ones. Warmth spread all over my body. I relaxed. Natsume...

I smiled. He's going to save me. I know he will.

Natsume's POV:

Polka, you better hang in there or I will never ever rest in peace...

"I don't think her heart rate is suppose to be at that speed," I heard Hotaru say emotionlessly.

Sure enough, her heartbeat speed up. Too much.

"Get out of the way, Natsume! Let me through!"

Natsume didn't budge.

Baka! Baka! Baka!

I felt the bullets of Hotaru's infamous Baka Gun hit the back of my head.

I turned around and I was about to growl at her, but I stopped myself. Hotaru's poker face is still there. But her eyes show sadness for Mikan. I stepped back letting the doctor through.

"Crap, her heartbeat is getting faster,"

"Then do something, you baka!" Hotaru yelled at him, finally losing her blank expression and cal attitude.

"I'm trying here!"

Natsume...

Mikan!

Natsume... Please save me. I don't want to be here. In this insane dark world. Your my hope of light. Save me...

Mikan's POV:

I will always save you, Mikan...

I suddenly felt calm. I stood up straight and wiped my tears away. No use crying. I have to try and save myself. I can't be weak.

All of a sudden, I heard a groan. It was a low, hoarse, ugly groan that froze the inside of me. And it came from behind... me.

I slowly turned around. Only to face the most ugliest thing I have ever saw. It was a small girl. But her face was wrinkled like a old lady. Her mouth twisted into a gruesome smile.

"Come with me Mikan," she said in a hoarse voice. "I can bring you to your oji-chan,"

No way!

I took a step forward. "What..."

"That's it, Mikan. Come to me and I will make you dreams come through," she said, opening her arms widely, as if to embrace me. My feet took another step towards her. I can't control myself!

Suddenly, she began to distort. And her features started to change. Her bloodshot eyes turned warm brown. Her silver short hair began to grew into smooth locks of brown. She was still smiling. But it was warm and kind. She grew taller and taller. She was beautiful.

She looked like me... A adult-more beautiful me, I mean.

"Mikan," she said in a soft whisper. "Don't you know me?"

My brain went into a frenzy. No way. I can't be her.

"I'm your your mother Mikan,"

My brain locked. It's not her Mikan. She's dead. It's not her! SHE'S TRYING TO FOOL YOU!

"No," I said softly.

"What did you say, my dear?" she said to me in a sickly sweet voice.

"YOUR NOT MY MOTHER!" I shouted at her and I turned and run. Away from her. Away from that impostor.

"HAHAHAHAHA! THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HERE, MIKAN SAKURA! JUST COME WITH ME LIKE A GOOD GIRL!"

"NO!"

I saw another light. A bright white light, radiating with warmth and love. And inside is was Natsume. The boy of my dreams. "Natsume!"

"You won't escape!" shrieked the woman in a banshee like voice, and she appeared out of the blue, in front of her, blocking her path. Her arms were wide open and Mikan crashed into them.

At once, the woman hugged her tightly. And started to kiss her hair.

"Stop it!"

I started to feel weak. The sickly sweet odour that was coming from the woman seemed to drain my energy. My mind went foggy, and my arms seemed to be under the woman's control, hugging the impostor. I let out a small moan.

"There now, Mikan. You're alright. You're with me now,"

HELP ME!

Wooosh! The woman's brunette hair caught fire. SHe shrieked, letting Mikan go and turned around. Natsume was there smirking and glaring evilly at her.

"Don't you dare touch my Mikan like that!"

And the woman's whole body caught fire, burning her to ashes.

"Natsume!"

I ran towards him and jumped on him. The minute he started to hug me, I felt myself slipping away again.

Done! Is it OK? Once again, TY for reading this! I DO NOT OWN GAKUEN ALICE.

Ja-ne!,
