Prologue
On a windy afternoon, an 11 and half years old brunette girl was on a hill that
overlooked the whole village. She sat under a tree and was leaning on it as she was
lost in her thoughts, "I wonder what Ho-chan is doing right now? It's already been
a month and a half, and yet she hasn't wrote a single letter." as a frown lingered
on her delicate face. "If she's here with me now, usually we would just sit here on
our hilltop with a comfortable silence and wait for the sun to set. I really do
miss her, does she miss me too? What am I thinking? Of course she does! I'm her
bestfriend for goodness sake." she thought out loud and laughed as she began to
recall her moments with her bestfriend.
After a few minutes, a wail suddenly disrupts the silence that commence when she
recalled her memories before. As she snapped out of her trance, she looked around
her, searching where the wail came from. And as she was looking, she began to be
frantic because she recognized that the wail she heard was an infant's cry. Just
then, the bush that was not far from the tree she was sitting, started to jiggle.
She neared the bush and she saw a basket with a baby in it, as a matter of fact she
saw two baskets with babies and their necessities in it. She felt angry at the
person who left them there but then she saw a note in both of the baskets and she
noticed that the babies things and necessities are differentiated with colors, "the
left one is filled with blue and green colors, so I think the left baby is a boy
while the right is filled with the colors pink and lavender, so I conclude the
right baby is a girl." she thought.
Then she remembered about the letter and it read:
Hey there little one,
I know that you must hate me for leaving these angels here. But I don't have a
choice and I know you'll find them as soon as I left them so I have no reason to
fear and worry for I know you're there.
Well, all I wanted to say is I left them here on purpose, knowing you'll be on this
hilltop around this time. And I don't have much time left and I'm not from this
village, as well as I don't have any relatives left anywhere around the world.
And when I first arrive here, I saw you sitting under the tree one time, smiling
and waiting for something while humming a lovely tune. Since then, I decided that
when the time comes, I'll leave them to you. Because I don't want other people have
my babies for they are special and I know in the future, when the time comes for
you, you'll know what I mean by them being special.
I entrust my angels to you, little one. And as they grow up, it's up to you if you
want to tell them the truth about me or not. And though you're still young, if you
want them as your own, then you can. Be their mother if you want to and don't
worry, I don't mind. Just take care and love them as your own no matter what.
Thank you.
PS. They are currently 1 month and 3 weeks old. They are twins and their birthday
is on the 14th of December. The boy is older by 3 minutes.
PPS. The boy is Kouta Sasaki and the girl is Naoko Sasaki. If you want, you can
change the family name to yours.
Sincerely their mother,
Shiori Sasaki
The girl was utterly shock, at the same she was excited, sad and worried. She was
shock because of what was happening; excited for her new family members that she'll
take care of; sad of what happened to the mother of the babies and what they have
been through; and worried, thinking that she might fail protecting and caring for
them. "But for now, I must bring them to grandpa 'coz it's really windy right now."
The little girl decided. With that implanted in her little head, she carefully
carried the two baskets and slowly walked towards her house where her grandfather
is waiting for her.
"Thank Kami-sama, my home isn't too far away and the path is slightly secluded, I
won't bump into someone and let them think something happened for an 11 years old
kid is carrying two baskets with babies in them." She thought. A few seconds have
passed and she could already see her grandpa in front of the house, obviously
waiting for her then she realized that she was out longer than usual. Anyway, as
she neared the house, she smile widely while shouting, "Ojii-saaaaaaan~ I'm
baaaaaaaaaaack!" loud enough for her grandfather to her yet not really loud that'll
wake and make the babies cry.
"Oh? Miki? Welcome back. What took you so long and what's with the baskets?" her
ojii-san immediately started when she was near.
"Mou! Ojii-san! Anyway�." Miki trailed off.
"Yes? What is it Miki?" ojii-san asked, encouraging the young girl.
"Ano, to answer your questions earlier, here's the note. Read it and you'll know."
Miki said, handing the note to her grandpa.
"Ok Miki, let's get inside now. I'll read this along the way." he said as I nodded
my head and walked towards the door. As I entered the house, I immediately went to
my room and I sorted the babies' things while laying them out on the table, "Thank
Kami-sama my table is big enough." she thought. As she finished preparing, sorting
and arranged the things, she slowly got the baby girl out of the basket and smiled,
"Naoko" she whispered and as if the baby heard her, Naoko opened the sparkling
amber eyes and giggled. Miki was surprised but she smiled at Naoko's cheerfulness.
"Now Nao-chan. Please stop squirming you little angel." she said as she put Naoko
down on her bed, "Naoko, stop it please. I still need to get your brother." she
told her and at the same time her grandpa came in her room, laughing. "Mou! Ojii-
san, don't laugh. I still have to get Kouta out of his basket but Naoko doesn't
want to stay still!" she complained as her grandpa laughed more, "Mou!" she huffed.
"Ahh, gomen Miki. It's just funny seeing you trying so hard yet failing miserably."
he said, still laughing.
"Mou. You really enjoy seeing me fail, you know?" she told him. Still carrying
Naoko as it seems as though she doesn't want to be put down.
"No, I don't Miki." he laughed, "Though I think Nao-chan doesn't want your
attention to go to her brother."
"Mou! Then you go get Kouta, Ojii-san. Onegai?" Miki asked.
"Hai, hai. I will." he laughed again. And he went to the other basket to get Kouta.
"Mou. Ah! Ano, Ojii-san?" she strated.
"Hai?"
"So, does this mean it is ok for you that I will take these babies in?"
"Why, yes Miki. Why not? And actually, I already know about this. Their mother came
not to long ago and explained it to me beforehand. But I wanna ask you though."
"What is it Ojii-san?"
"Big sister or mother? I know she let you decide but if you choose to be their
mother, don't you think you're still young?"
"Well, actually. I'm not the one to decide."
"What do you mean?"
"Uhm, I was thinking of letting the twins decide if they want me as their sister or
mother. Hmmm, do you think it is a bad idea?"
Her Ojii-san was silent for awhile then laughed, "Mou! Ojii-san! Why do you always
laugh?" she again complained.
"Well, I think that's a great idea. But I wanna know your opinion Miki."
"I think being their mother is not bad. So, if they take me as their mother then
it's ok with me. But maybe I will ask them to call me 'onee-san' when we are in
public when they can speak or something." She smiled.
"Ok Miki if that is your final decision. Well, shall we change their name to
'Sakura'?"
"But I don't want them to forget being a 'Sasaki' Ojii-san. It'll mean that they
will forget their real family."
"It's actually fine my dear. We can just tell them when the right time comes."
"Ok then. That's decided. And oh look! Nao-chan fell asleep." she said, and then
she laid her on the bed.
"Yes she is. Unlike this one who is still awake." he laughed.
"True Ojii-san. Well, I'll take him now." she informed as she took an action of
tsking Kouta from her grandpa. He laughed again as he passed the baby to her. As
Kouta was in Miki's arms, he squirmed a bit because someone new held him but was
comfortable after a few seconds. "You know Ojii-san, you laughed too much today."
with that said, he laughed again.
"There's nothing wrong with laughing Miki. As the old saying goes, 'Laughter is the
best medicine'." as she tried to make Kouta sleep. "Yes Ojii-san. Heard that like a
thousand times already." as an answer, he laughed again as she laughed along with
him.
"Well, it's already late. How about sleeping now? It does seem that you are tired
from all these happening. And it seems as if Kou-chan sensed it as well because he
went to sleep now."
"Hai Ojii-san. You're right." as she laid him next to his sister on the bed and put
the pillows around them to prevent them from falling. Then she went to the cabinet
and got out the extra futon and laid it next to the bed.
"Well then, goodnight and sleep tight my dear granddaughter, Mikan Sakura."
"Goodnight, my awesome grandpa, Shion Sakura." with that said, Shion went out of
the room to retire to his room. Mikan faced the babies and hummed a tune then began
singing.
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shinning in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true
After she sang, she tucked the babies and whispered "Good night my little angels."
before laying down on the futon and slept.

Chapter 1
-2 years and a half later-
"Mommy? Where is mommy going?" a 2 years old girl asked.
"I'm going to be away for now baby. I might be away long but I will come back." a
14 years old girl said.
"What? Why must mommy need to go?" the little girl asked again.
"Because I have to check on a certain someone I know. Please understand baby." the
older girl cooed. As she remembered the letter she had received from that certain
someone not too long ago, "For 2 years, she sends me ONLY ONE letter? She's making
me worried."
"Yes mommy." a 2 years old boy said, making both girls turn to him, "We understand,
right Naoko?" as he stared at said girl and she flinched.
"Uhh, yes Kou-nii. Nao understands, mommy. But please come back soon?" Naoko
pleaded.
"I'll try." The older girl said, she faced the boy and said, "Thank you Kou-chan."
"Mou! Mommy, not '-chan' it's '-kun'. If not, I'll be happy if you'll call me by my
name 'Kouta'." The boy, Kouta said.
"No thank you because Kou-chan is cute. Mommy will miss calling you that while
mommy will be away." the older girl pouted.
"Hmpf. Fine." as he also pouted.
"Anyway, you two will take care of grandpa, ok?" she asked.
"Yes mommy." both answered.
"And if anything ever happens, you'll run to Mrs. Imai's house. Do you get it?" she
asked again.
"Yes mommy." Both again answered.
"Do you still remember the shortcut to their house in case of emergency?"
"Yes mommy."
"Kou-chan, take care of your sister, ok?" she instructed.
"Of course, I will mommy!" Kouta answered.
"Ok, I still need to go to grandpa and talk with him. How about you go to you
rooms?"
"Ok mommy." both answered, "Call Nao before mommy leave, ok?" Naoko asked.
"Sure baby." she answered, "Don't forget me too mommy!" Kouta stated.
"Of course Kou-chan sweetie." she said, as the two kids ran towards their rooms.
The girl stood silently for a moment before going to the backyard where her grandpa
is sitting observing the place peacefully.
"Heya grandpa." she greeted which made the old man laugh.
"Oh, hi there Miki. So, do you need anything?" the old man asked.
"Uhm, actually none. Just came to say goodbye though I'll be back but I don't know
when." she answered, "I already talked to the kids and they took it pretty well,
except for the fact that I know they are crying inside their rooms." she added.
"Ahh, ok. You better be careful. And don't take too long cause both of us know that
I won't last long." he said as he laughed.
"That's not funny grandpa. But I really don't know when I'll be back. But if
anything happens, anything at all. You know what to do. Right?" she asked.
"Sakura Mikan, I know I may be old but you know I don't forget things especially
important ones that easily." He laughed.
"Mou! Grandpa!" Mikan complained. The old man laughed again.
"Just joking Miki. Yes I know what to do. I'll just send them to Imai's and tell
them to call Hotaru's school as we have a feeling that you'll be staying there if
you won't be back soon and to tell them to tell you what happened. Or we'll plead
them to tell you if we need to." The old man recited.
"Good. I can't believe that the old man Sakura Shion still has a good memory."
Mikan teased.
"Hey! What do you mean by that, little lady? Hmmm?" Shion asked, acting stern.
"Nothing grandpa. Not a thing."
"Sakura Mikan, you are mocking your grandpa. You must be punished." He laughed.
"Ahh! No grandpa. Not a punishment." Mikan acted. Then both of them laughed at
their acts. "Ok grandpa, I think I need to go now."
"Bye Miki. Hope to see you soon before something happens." He bid.
"Stop it grandpa. Anyway, I gotta call the kids before leaving. I promised them."
"Ok Miki. Bye and take care."
"You too grandpa. Take care of yourself AND the kids."
"Of course, I will Miki. Though, I am thinking of dropping them at day care as you
know that I am getting old."
"Sure grandpa. Or you could just drop them at Imai's. I'll just tell them along the
way."
"Ok, Imai's are much more trusting because we already know them."
"You mean, we are close with them grandpa because we know everyone here at the
village for this is a small family village. Everyone treats each other like
family."
"Ahh, yes yes. Sorry." He laughed while Mikan went to say her goodbyes to the
twins. As Mikan was walking, she already started calling them, "Nao-chan? Kou-chan?
I'm gonna go now." And all she heard was silence, as she was nearer to the bedrooms
she heard a whimper, "Nao-chan? Kou-chan?" muttered as she followed the familiar
whimpers she heard. The whimpers that she followed ended up inside her room. She
opened the door slowly as the whimpers can be heard clearer. "Nao-chan? Kou-cha?"
the occupants in the room faced the one who called them. "Mommy! Why didn't mommy
called? We could've just gone to mommy instead of mommy looking for Nao and onii-
chan." Naoko said. "She's right mommy. You should've called." Kouta agreed. "But I
did call. And all I heard were whimpers coming from this room." Mikan answered.
"What whimpers?" Naoko asked as she quickly wiped her tear stained face.
"Come here baby." Mikan cooed and Naoko slowly went to her, "I know this is hard to
accept but I need you to understand, ok? And I will try to come back as soon as I
can. I really hate to do this as much as you do but I just need to go." she added,
gently.
Naoko stared at her for a minute then smiled, "Yes mommy, Nao fully understands."
Mikan smiled back, "Now, Kou-chan? No hug for mommy before I leave?" she said and
not a second to waste Kouta ran into his mommy's open arms and hugs her. "I'm gonna
miss you mommy." he said, "Nao too mommy, Nao too!" Nao-chan agreed cheerfully,
"Nao's gonna miss mommy too!"
"I'm gonna miss both of you too." Mikan said hugging them and she added, "You two
must go to bed, it's already past your nap time." when she saw the time, that read
2:15 pm.
"We will stay here mommy while you are away. We'll just go back to our own room
when we feel like it." Kouta said.
"Ok then, now onto the bed and nap." Mikan ordered.
"Yes mommy, only if mommy sings Nao and onii-chan a lullaby for the last time."
Naoko bargained.
"Sure baby." Mikan responded as Naoko and Kouta climb onto the bed and lay down.
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shinning in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true
The lamb lies down and rests its head
On its mothers downy bed
Dolphin plays in the moon lights glow
And butterfly dreams about violet rose
Dreams about violet rose
I'll cradle you in my arms tonight
As sun embraces the moon light
The clouds will carry our songs tonight
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shinning in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true
"Goodbye my little angels. Hope to see you soon." Mikan said when she noticed that
they are fast asleep and then kissed their little foreheads. She stayed for a few
minutes looking at the kids and laughed, "For 2 years olds, they can speak fluently
already. Thank Kami-sama that I made them practice each day until 2 months ago."
she thought, then smiled a small smile when she remembered 5 months ago that they
(Mikan and her grandpa, Shion) told the twins the truth about them, "They took it
better than I had thought." She thought again as she giggled softly. "Well, it's
time to now." as she stood up and left the room.
"Grandpa, I'm done with the twins. Take care always. I'm gonna go now." she said
when she saw Shion at the doorway. And she kissed his cheek as she passed by him.
"Yes dear. Take care and be safe." he said sadly.
"Always grandpa." Mikan smiled to lighten up the atmosphere. And she went out and
head to the Imai's first. As she walked to the Imai's, she felt excited and
depressed at the same time. Excited because she'll be seeing her bestfriend, Ho-
chan, again and depressed knowing she left the twins for her selfish reason of
seeing Ho-chan.
When she had arrived at her destination, she saw Mrs. Imai at the garden, "Hello
Airi-san." Mikan greeted.
"Why, hello there, Miki. Are you on a trip?" Imai Airi greeted then asked. (a/n:
made up name)
"Uhh, yes. Uhm, how will I say this�" Mikan trailed off. She saw Airi nodding
encouraging her to continue whatever she has to say, "Well, you see Airi-san.. Uhm,
I gonna go see Ho-chan." she finally said. Airi was shock, she didn't expect that
answer, but a few minutes later she just smiled. "Ahh, ok Miki. Good luck. And send
my regards to her." she said as she remembered her daughter, "And what else Miki?
Surely you didn't just come all the way here just to tell me that." she added.
"Uhm, is it ok for the twins to come by here? Because as we all know grandpa isn't
getting any younger." Mikan said.
"Sure. The twins are always welcome here." Airi said.
"Thank you Airi-san. And if anything happens, can you please keep them away?
Somewhere safe?" Mikan asked.
"Yes, of course Miki. But may I ask why?"
"I don't know how to explain. From their mother's note 2 and a half years ago, they
have something special that I will know when the time come. And I was hoping to
know what that 'something special' is before I leave. But I guess now isn't the
time." Mikan said which made Airi shock and scared.
"What? But won't you be ok? I have a feeling that you won't be back for a long
time."
"Yes, I'll be ok. I have the same feeling too. But I hate the other feeling that
says I'll meet the twins to where I am going."
"Yes, I also have that feeling and I also hate it. But I'll try my best to avoid
that. And I will try to send some kind of letter if ever that happens."
"Thank you once again Airi-san. And please send my regards to Tai-san."
"I will. Good bye Miki. Be safe." With that, she left to follow her bestfriend.

Shirahane Aikawa -well yes, I do agree that it is kind of confusing. Though I do
hope you understood now. :) and YES, I have a lot of OC but the main OC are only
the twins, Naoko and Kouta (for now). So, yeah. I have read your fics and I like,
more like LOVE them. :D though I do apologize that I tend not to leave a review
because I have crappy internet. :3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/n: Well, I want to say something clear. Uhm, when Mikan have arrived at the
academy, the occurrence are all the same, the only difference is the years and
ages. That's all so I hope you understand. But only until before she first met
Hijiri Youichi. End. *bows*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: slight summary of what happened when she arrived at the academy ::
-Mikan was almost kidnapped but thankfully Narumi was there and saved her and
discovered what the academy is really about.
-Mikan discovers that she is also an alice and it is the Nullification alice and
that she can attend the academy with ho-chan. (a/n: the twins was not in her mind
during this time because she was too excited.)
-Natsume was seen trying to escape and failed when Narumi-sensei captured him
again.
-Mikan saw her bestfriend, Ho-chan, or more appropriately Imai Hotaru and
reconciled with her.
-Mikan came in the classroom for the first day and was not accepted by her new
classmates. And she was challenged by Natsume that she had accomplished.
-Mikan being a no star because she was accused of doing something she didn't do.
-up next is the time when she wants to go to Central Town and she met Youichi.
~on to the story~ (a/n: let's just say that Mikan is in the academy for almost 5
months already. Gomen if it is confusing but it really is impossible to forget
someone in a matter of days unless it's months. Please understand guys.)
Chapter 2
"EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH?! Why? Why must we need our partner just to go to Central
Town? I don't wanna!" a brunette whined.
"Sorry Mikan-chan but we have no choice." a bubble-gum pink haired girl said.
"Anna's right. You need your partner especially if it's your first time going." a
navy blue haired girl said.
"Anna? Nonoko? Quit explaining things to that idiot. No matter what you say she'll
still be in that form." A black haired girl said.
"But Hotaru-chan..." the bubble-gum pink haired girl, Anna started but was cut off
by Hotaru.
"No. Just leave her and she'll understand sooner or later." Hotaru said as Nonoko
looked at Mikan's sulk form by the corner.
"Fine." Anna said as she also turned to look at Mikan.
"Hey girls! What are you doing?" a dark green haired girl greeted.
"Oh. Hi Sumire. Nothing, looking at Mikan, that's all." Nonoko answered.
"Sak- I mean, Mikan? What do you mean? Where is s-" Sumire asked as she looked
around and shrieked when she saw Mikan. (A/n: They are already friends here. But
not too long ago so sometime's she corrects herself calling Mikan with 'Mikan' and
not 'Sakura'.) "!"
"What the hell? Why is she like that?" Sumire asked no one in particular. And Anna
told her what happened earlier. "What? Just for that? Anybody would want to go to
Central Town with Natsume-sama!" she said after she knew what happened but after
receiving some looks from her friends, she added, "Except Mikan that is. And it
would be hard to convince Natsume-sama." And Mikan suddenly wailed out loud, and
then they were thinking maybe she heard what Sumire said.
"Come on baka. You're gonna give up without trying?" Hotaru emotionlessly said.
"Why try? When Sumire's right? It's true, Natsume will be hard to convince." Mikan
answered.
"Well, if that's what you think then I think you are not the Miki I know." Hotaru
stated, no one noticed the sad tone in her voice except Mikan though.
"Miki?" the 3 other girls asked.
"That's what my family and her family calls me. An exclusive nickname of mine, that
only the Sakuras and Imais use." Mikan answered as the other 'oooh-ed' as their
response. "And ok Ho-chan, I'll at least try. So don't be sad, I'm still the Miki
you know." She added.
As Hotaru smiled a tiny smile that only Mikan saw. "Whatever baka. Now go." she
ordered.
Mikan nodded then went to go to where Natsume is. "Ano, Natsume?" Mikan asked.
A black haired boy turned to her, indicating that he's listening. "Will yo-" Mikan
started but Natsume interrupted her by saying, "No."
"But I didn't even finish what I said." Mikan whined.
"Whatever it is, the answer is still no." Natsume stated.
"But-" Mikan tried.
"No. And shut up, your voice is too loud." Natsume said. At the same time, the door
suddenly opened and a 5 years old boy came in and is walking towards Natsume. And
when he reached Natsume, a teacher also came in the classroom.
"Youichi." Natsume said as Mikan's eyes began to sparkle, "Kawaii~ Ne, ne, Natsume?
Who is he? Is he you son or something?"
"Baka." Youichi said. Mikan was dumbstruck hearing a child said that to her.
"What the- Where did you learned that young man?" Mikan's motherly side kicked in.
And as if out of instinct Youichi pointed at Natsume which made the others who are
paying attention to them shock and Natsume raise an eyebrow.
"Mikan? How did you do that?" Sumire asked still shock as the others just nodded in
agreement. Natsume also wants to know, seeing that this is the first time Youichi
complied with what others said aside from his bestfriend and himself.
"Mikan-chan, you sounded like a mother earlier." Anna stated as other nodded again.
"Wha- ah, no. Actually it just came out, something like that. It surprised me
also." Mikan lied, she put up her Nullification then thought, "How could I? How
could I forgotten about them?"
"Ano, excuse me sensei but what are you doing here?" Mikan asked, making a
diversion which worked for the others' attention went to the teacher up front.
"Well, uhm, it's the Class A's nap time and it is required that every student will
take their nap. And uhm Youichi-kun, escaped nap time and went here. I was sent to
get him." the teacher explained.
"No." Youichi said.
"Why You-kun?" Mikan asked softly.
"Not sleepy." he answered.
"Then he won't take his nap." Natsume concluded.
"But that can't be!" the teacher exclaimed.
"Every child needs to rest more to grow. That's why they need to take their nap."
Mikan added, in a motherly tone. As others was dumbstruck hearing her saying
something like that and to top it off in a motherly way. "So You-kun, you don't
want to grow up big? Do you want to stay small like the little boy you are?" Mikan
asked to which Youichi shook his head as an answered.
"Mikan, you sounded like a mother again." This time it was Nonoko who said that.
"Re-really?" Mikan asked and the others nodded, "A-anyway, sensei?"
"Yes Mikan-chan?" the teacher answered.
"Didn't you said that the Class A students just need to take a nap? You didn't say
that they need to take a nap in the Class A's room. So, they can nap anywhere as
long as they take a nap. Right?" Mikan asked which made the others think about what
she said and agreed.
"I don't know Mikan-chan." The teacher started.
"But the baka is right though, sensei. You didn't say that they can't take their
nap anywhere else." Hotaru said.
"Ok fine. If you can make him take his nap then he can stay here or wherever he
wants to nap at. But I'll see to it that he'll take a nap." The teacher resigned.
"Did you hear that You-kun? So where do you want to take your nap at?" Mikan asked
Youichi. "Then Central Town will just have to wait. There's still next time." she
thought.
"Not sleepy." Youichi answered.
"Leave that to me. So where do you want to take your nap at?" Mikan asked again.
"How will you do it Mikan? Youichi is like the most stubborn kid ever. He's like
Natsume is many ways." a blonde haired boy said. "Ruka." Natsume growled. "Ahh
gomen Natsume." Ruka said as he laughed nervously at his bestfriend.
"I've dealt a much more stubborn kid. And Youichi-kun's a boy less stubborn than a
girl." Mikan answered.
"Why do you say so?" a dirty blonde haired boy asked.
"Well, you see Yuu/Inchou. Girls are much more demanding than boys. That's why
girls are much more stubborn than boys." Sumire and a blonde spiky haired boy said
in unison.
"Koko! Will you cut it out? Stop reading my mind!" Sumire shouted at the blonde
spiky haired boy as he just laughed as his response. And the others just "aaahh-ed"
at the answer.
"Yes, so? Where Youichi-kun?" Mikan asked again. Youichi turned to Natsume and
Natsume just took it as he wants him to decide.
"Sakura tree." Natsume said. As Mikan nodded, immediately understanding. The others
were confused as to why Natsume blurted out 'Sakura tree' all of the sudden, except
for Hotaru and Ruka. And with that Mikan stood up and walked to the door followed
by Natsume carrying Youichi with him, then Hotaru and Ruka, the gang and last the
teacher. As they have arrived at the Sakura tree, the teacher suddenly asked, "What
are we doing here?"
"Youichi will take a nap here, sensei." The gang answered in unison as they
understood along the way.
"Oh, ok then." The teacher then faced Mikan, Natsume and Youichi.
"Now, You-kun. Can you please come here?" Mikan asked. (a/n: I won't say 'in a
motherly tone' anymore, seeing that Mikan is in her mother mode already.) Youichi
looked at Natsume who was giving him a do-what-you-want-look. Then Youichi
transferred from Natsume's lap to Mikan's. The gang was astounded by what was
happening.
"Ok, you stubborn kid. Lie down and have my lap as your pillow." Mikan said,
giggling.
Youichi was at first being hesitant but still complied. As he laid his head on
Mikan's lap, he was instantly become comfortable as if he's lying on his mother's
lap. As he became comfortable, Mikan began to sing a lullaby while playing with his
silky light grey hair.
Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Youichi slowly felt sleepy, and began to close his eyes. Everyone around them
(Mikan and Youichi) was surprised, especially the teacher, Ruka and Natsume. But as
the teacher was surprised yet he was relieve and happy.
Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
After she sang, she saw Youichi sleeping already. And the teacher nodded and went
away. The gang was again astounded then smiled. The song also got them sleepy, even
THE Black Cat, Hyuuga Natsume and infamous Ice Queen, Imai Hotaru. And the gang
then lies side by side, and fell asleep as Mikan sang another lullaby.
Close your eyes
Sleep is more than it seems
Soon you'll discover a garden of dreams
A blossoming Tapestry
Lights up the dark
Dreams are the flowers that bloom in your heart.
Rose dreams are red, like a new valentine.
Violets are blue cause they're sad all the time
Daisy dreams shine like the sun in the park.
Dreams are the flowers that bloom in your heart.
So dream and bloom
Bloom and Dream
Watch your garden grow,
when you awaken with a smile
everyone will know
You've been to dreamland
and now you've returned.
Eager to share everything that you've learned.
Believing in dreams isn't really so hard.
Dreams are the flowers that bloom in your heart...
Dreams are the flowers that bloom in your heart.
