I don't own Gakuen Alice. Enjoy the chapter ^^

Chapter 8

Mikan's POV

Did I just do something I never think I would do?

I was now leaning on the door frame; steams came out from my head as my face was red from embarrassment. I touched my face and found it hot. Really hot. The incident back then ran inside my mind with an incredible speed.

I KISSED HIM

Oh mama mia.

I can't believe it.

I kissed him.

Oh my goddess.

Just a kiss on the cheek after all. Why do I feel so work up about it?

This date today was not that bad after all. Natsume was kind even though he sometimes got on my nerves. Maybe I will change my thought about him. But why did he say he would get me fall in love with him? And sometimes, I got a feeling that I knew Natsume. It is getting weirder and weirder.

However, my attention turned back to the necklace. Why did he give me his necklace? I stared at the necklace in my hand. It was so beautiful. It was from the girl he cared for. She is not me. Yet, he gave it to me. Somehow, in my chest, it hurts.

I heaved a deep sigh. It has been a tired day for me. I needed a good sleep tonight. With that, I took my shoes and walked inside the already dark house. On the way to my room, I saw light coming from my grandpa's room. He waits for me again. I smiled at the thought

"I'm home, grandpa" I opened the door to his room but the sign in front of me made my eyes widen. My grandpa was lying on the floor with blood from his mouth. I immediately rushed to his place and shook him

"Grandpa. What's wrong with you? Wake up. Don't leave me alone like that" I shook him as I began to tear up. "You are the only person I have left. Please wake up"

She looked around and shouted the loudest that she could between her sobs "Please,… somebody…. help me…" Suddenly, something appeared in her mind as many images ran at full speed. It happened very fast but Mikan can see it crystal clear

A car

.

.

Red light

.

.

A truck

.

.

Blood

"No… no…" Mikan clutched on her head. "No…Don't…" And the next thing she saw was the body of her parents, in a pool of blood.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

With that, darkness engulfed her as she fell down on the cold floor. Her body was lying next to her grandpa while her tears didn't stop flowing at all.

…..xXx…..

Natsume was lying on his bed, thinking about the previous incident with Mikan. A small smile was plastered on his face as he remembered about her kiss. Really, he didn't know that Mikan was this bold. He felt somewhat…happy

Soon, she will fall in love with him and he can make up for his mistake.

It was his fault that she left him that day. If he hadn't ripped that letter, she wouldn't leave. If he had told her he loved her, maybe, she would be by his side now.

But everything turned out to be okay. Everything was according to his plan. Sooner or later, she will confess to him. Then, he would tell her the truth.

No

It would better if she didn't know the truth. This will be the secret that she will never know. Yes, this is for the best.

Ring Ring

Suddenly, his phone rang. When he heard the sound, he didn't know why but he felt scared. He didn't want to answer the phone after all. He took it and looked at the ID. To his relief, it was Ruka.

"Hello?" Natsume answered the phone casually. Nothing is going wrong.

"Natsume?" He took back the thing he has said. Ruka's voice was shaking and there were many murmurs in the background.

"Ruka? What's wrong?" That feeling again. His stomach hurts. Please, please, don't be Mikan.

"Sakura is in the hospital"

Just one sentence, fives words, twenty letters but it was enough to make Natsume's world crumble. The next thing he knew, he was running to that hospital, to where Mikan was.

…..xXx….

"Where is she?" Natsume pushed the door open. People looked at him weirdly but Natsume ignored all those stares and made his way to the receptionist.

"What room Mikan Sakura is in?" Natsume asked between his raging breaths

"Room 318, sir but-" He didn't have the chance to listen to the whole sentence as he ran full speed to find room 318. As soon as he found it, he immediately opened it but in front of him was not Mikan.

A woman in her 20s with long brunette hair sat on a chair and beside her, Mikan was lying on the bed lifeless. The woman glared at him "You know, it is forbidden to make loud noise in the hospital. It will interrupt the sick people"

"Who are you?" To say he was shocked was an understatement

The woman stood up and looked at Natsume straight in the eyes "I'm Kana Ueda, Mikan's neighbor"

"You pervert" Mikan blushed "It's Kana-san's fault for making me wear this"

"Whoever that is, I must be thankful for making you this gorgeous"

Now he remembered, Mikan mentioned her in their date. It is the person who made Mikan that gorgeous. Then his mind panic as he remembered why he came here. He let his eyes dart to the hospital bed

"Is she okay? What happened to her?" Natsume asked worriedly

"She is fine. Just a little shock" Kana caressed Mikan's cheek.

"Why?"

"Because once again, she witnessed the death of her family." Kana closed her eyes "And this time, it was her grandpa"

…..xXx…..

I found myself in a hospital. But it is weird, there was nobody found out that I was here. It was like I was a ghost. Suddenly, there were loud noises as many nurses came in with a pregnant lady on the carrier. The woman with short brunette hair. It looked like she would go into the labor.

Just a moment later, a man in his mid 20s with blonde hair and hazel eyes ran inside. He was panicking for sure. I guessed the man was the husband of that woman. Both of them looked somehow familiar. I decided to follow them

"Yuka…Yuka…Please be fine" The man has been mumbling that sentence for the past 2 hour already. I stared at him and wondered where I has seen those eyes before. Those mesmerizing hazel eyes. Out of nowhere, the hall was filled with a baby's crying. The man immediately stood up with worry in his eyes and walked to the labor room. The door to the labor opened and a nurse came out with a smile on her face

"It's a girl" The nurse said between her tears "Congratulation"

The blonde man broke out in tears as a smile visible on his face. He looked like he was the happiest men on earth. He then asked if he can come to see his wife and he was granted.

Inside the white room, the brunette woman was lying on the bed, her breath hitched. She was having a hard time to bear this baby. She slowly opened her eyes to see the man she loved the most. Her husband.

"Yuka…" The man took her hand and cried silently "You did it…You did it…"

"Kazumi, I want to see our baby girl" The woman declared even though she was tired.

Yuka and Kazumi…I swore she had heard those name before but where, when?

As I was so deep in her thought, the man came back with a baby in his hand. He brought it to the woman. She smiled as she looked at the baby girl who was sleeping soundly.

"She is so beautiful. She has your eyes and my hair" The woman chuckled lightly "Have you found a name for her?"

The husband immediately raised a paper with the word 'Mikan' "I choose this name because it related to your name which means citrus. After all, she looks just like you"

"Mikan? I like that" The woman smiled at her daughter as she kissed the baby's forehead "Welcome to our family, Mikan Yukihira"

No wonder. Yuka and Kazumi. They were her parent's name. This was my mom and dad.

And I see, after all this year, I finally remembered

My real name is…

…Mikan Yukihira

….xXx….

"Will she wake up?" Natsume asked, eyeing the woman in front of him

"Of course she will wake up. But this incident will make a part of her memories return" Kana explained

"How did you know that Mikan is suffering from amnesia?"He glared at her. "Only Imai and me know about that"

Instead of back away, the brunette woman smirked. "Why don't you find out yourself? After all, you are the one who broke her heart. Am I right, Natsume Hyuuga?"

Natsume's glare hardened "You…Who are you? How do you my name"

"Be patient and you will know" Kana said as a gust of wind passed by making Natsume shut his eyes. When he opened them, Kana was nowhere in sight.

"Kana Ueda, who are you really?"Natsume thought.

Just in time, the door opened and Hotaru with Ruka walked in

"Oh, you are here, Natsume?" Ruka called out "How is Sakura?"

Natsume didn't answer. Of course, Hotaru was the one who realized this "What happened, Hyuuga?"

"Imai, I need information about someone with the name Kana Ueda"

…..xXx….

It was one of the lost memories of her. That day, the whole family gathered on the table and in front of her was a birthday cake. I saw it, the happy feeling on her face. It was the young me's fifth birthday.

There was my father, my mother and even the young him and his family. I befriended with him just about a few days before my birthday and we were never parted.

"Mikan, happy birthday" I heard my mom say to the young me and she beamed at her. As on clue, the whole family cheered in union, even him. I saw myself blow the candles away and after that was a loud applause.

"Here is the present, Polka" I heard he say.

His voice was so familiar yet I can't remember how he looked like.

"Mou, stop teasing me. It is my birthday, you know"

"Don't know, don't care"

Really, that manner, I have seen it somewhere.

"Mikan, what do you wish for?" My father asked the young me, trying to ease the atmosphere

"I wish that he will not peek at my underwear and then make it my nickname" She pouted cutely as she pointed a finger at him. In exchange, he just smirked "I thought the nickname suit you well, Polka-dots" With that, the whole family broke into laughter

Yes, that time, I was happy

He was happy

My family was happy

Everything was so right.

I remembered what I truly wished at that time

"I wish this happiness will never disappear and we will be together forever"

Just a simple wish but who knew everything will turn out the other way

It happened and I lost the happiness that I had

…..xXx….

"Kana Ueda?" Hotaru raised an eyebrow then she shook her head "Never heard of her"

"What?" Natsume shouted "She was here just a moment ago and she is Mikan's neighbor"

"Are you okay, Natsume?" Ruka put a hand on Natsume's shoulder "I think you didn't get enough sleep or you are just too shock"

"No, Ruka. There was a woman with brunette hair sitting here near Mikan." Natsume retorted, pointing to the chair

Baka Baka Baka Baka

Natsume dodged all the bullets and landed safely on the floor. Hotaru glared at him "Lower your voice down. Mikan is sleeping."

"But she knows about Mikan's amnesia" This time, Hotaru left speechless

"I will find information about her" Hotaru said emotionlessly "Bunny boy, go with me. Hyuuga, take care of her" Natsume nodded

With that, they disappeared behind the door. Natsume let out a sigh then made his way to Mikan's bed. He stared at her sleeping face and let his hand caress it.

"And don't think of doing anything to her, Hyuuga" A cold voice appeared out of nowhere

"I get it" Natsume shouted back

Suddenly, Mikan's eyebrow furious and beads of sweats ran down on her face. She looked like she was having nightmare. Natsume immediately took her hand and squeezed it tightly

Mikan, you have to make it…Please, wake up….

…..xXx….

I was in the crowd street in America. Really, I didn't know what I was doing here now. Suddenly, a car appeared as I realized the person who was in that car.

It was my family

They were chatting happily about what to eat that night. The young I sat in the backseat with a teddy bear in her arm.

"Mom, dad, are we there yet?" She asked innocently

"Not yet, Mikan. Just sit there and wait" My mother answered, smiling at the little girl

"You should learn to be patient. I swear, at that place, there will be many foods for you" My dad smiled as he stepped on the brake. It was red light now

"There will be food, too?" I saw her eyes shine brightly. I chuckled at the thought. She really is myself

"Dear, it is green light" My mom reminded as my dad stepped on the gas.

"What food will there be?" The young me said dreamingly, drooling at the thought

"Well, there will be…." My dad didn't have the chance to finish the sentence as my mother shouted at him "DEAR, LOOK OUT"

Stretch

Crash

It happened too fast. A car, which didn't stop when there was red light, crashed with us. There were smokes coming out from the cars.

I saw myself sitting up inside the car. Mother was the one who protected her at the time the two cars made impact. She rubbed her eyes and coughed because of the smoke

"Mom, dad?" She looked around and saw the body of her parent on the ground.

"Wake up" She shook their body but there was no sign they would wake up. She then felt something wet in her hand. She looked at it and realized it was blood. The red liquid which was flowing out from their dead bodies.

Too scared, she screamed as loud as she could. A scream as if the world was about to disappear from her. After that, she fainted

.

.

The next thing she knew, she woke up in a hospital, didn't have a trace of memory

A tear escaped my eyes. So that happened…I thought as I looked at my young self. Really, this is too much. Now, my grandpa is gone.

I am all alone

I am all alone again

Why? Why did this happen to me? What did I do to deserve this?

Slowly, darkness engulfed me bit by bit. It would be better if I came with them too… Then, there was something held my hand behind. I looked down and realized it was Natsume.

…..xXx….

Mikan slowly opened her eyes and she found herself inside the hospital. She looked to the bed side and saw Natsume sleeping while holding her hand.

"N-Natsume…" Mikan said as she began to cry

Natsume, who heard her voice, immediately woke up and stared at her. "What's wrong, Mikan?" Then Mikan did the thing that he never expected her to do. She hugged him and cried, clutching his shirt.

She was crying her heart out. There was no way that he could stop her. So all he did was let his hand to her back and hold her closer. "It is alright. I am here with you. Everything is going to be okay" He whispered into her ears

"Natsume….Natsume…Natsume…." She said his name over and over again as she cried the whole night. It was weird. Inside his arm, she felt safe. She felt warm. She wanted to trust this man. She didn't know why but she didn't want to let him go at all. Inside her, she felt something overwhelming.

Is this feeling called love?

But she knew one thing, she was not alone anymore.

…..xXx….

A person sat outside on a tree, looking at the couple inside the hospital

"Ah, so that time is finally coming. Sooner or later, she will remember everything and this time, no one can save her. Even you, Natsume Hyuuga. You are the one who hurt her the most"

And in the next second, that person disappeared.

Hello everyone.
