A/N: Hey all! Okay, give thanks to omen-chan who suggested (or rather told me very politely) to do this kind of thing. It's not very clear since I hadn't the foggiest clue on how to do this so, I'm sorry it cuts short since it was VERY painful to write it. So, if you have anything else you don't understand, just email me and I'll do my best to answer them in a simple way and I hope that I will make no more mistakes. I've realized I got a LOT of wires crossed and confused everyone so I'm SO SORRY! I hope you guys will understand now!

The Story So Far…

Sakura Mikan faces a danger she never thought would come back and haunt her. The day that she receives a letter from one Hirazuki Idare, she realizes that she will never be free of the chains that bind her. The 'Shizo Academy' is nothing but a masked identity for the dark mask that binds everything. Personally, for Mikan, this is journey to escape from everything. Friends, comrades, teachers are no longer discernable so she runs away, leaving doubt in their hearts. On the way, Kokoroyomi is implanted with the memories of her past.

Here, we discover just what she is, but not totally. Mikan remembers she was once Hemorrhage, a person with the ability to kill with her bare hands, speed away at the speed of light and act like someone else. Then, Nogi Ruka faces the fears that the girl he once loved was a murderer, someone darker than Natsume Hyuuga. Iinchou, Yuu Tobita, attacks him, disbelieving that someone that once loved Mikan could think of her like that and tells him to see Kokoroyomi.

Koko later meets up with a sorrowful Imai Hotaru and tells the story of one Sakura Mikan, the pain and torture she endures as a week month old child. Things are foggy here and only revealed later (chapter 7) where Hotaru learns that Sakura Mikan would need friends.

The next few ensuing weeks, the students of the Academy begin to speculate about what really happened that night as Hotaru Imai and Hyuuga Natsume think back to what and who Sakura Mikan really was. Rumors, likely and unlikely crop up and Imai Hotaru shares with Hyuuga Natsume what he knew all along but didn't dare believe and they saw the monsters that stared them in the face.

Sakura Mikan's war had just begun.

Hyuuga Natsume rejoins the negotiations on the case of Sakura Mikan and gets into an argument with the head of the Student Council, Aki Tsukaima. Natsume suggested going on the offensive and taking the fight to who he thinks is the AAO. But Tsukaima refuses and with the consent of four of the six Council members, Kenta Yuri, Ayaka Iru, Kimura Hinata and Nero Koyama, he tells the group of the Academy's darkest secret.

The AAO that existed was nothing but a puppet of another organization whose purpose far surpassed that of the Academy, led by a single psychopath named Janus who was hell bent on the destruction of the world. The Student Council leader reveals he has the ability to create long lasting illusions for a limited number of people but is otherwise, limitless.

We flash to Sakura Mikan who gives us a deeper insight to who Janus is. He was portrayed as a man who considered himself a god, using operatives to carry out an unknown plan. She remembers how she was used and abused by him and her trainer, Fujimiura. She tried to attack him when she was younger and realizes that he cannot be killed simply. She was called Hemorrhage then.

Later, she flashes back to the time when she had run away from the Janus operation and run into Azumi Yuka who is carrying her dead child, Sakura Mikan, to be buried. She realizes that this girl, Hemorrhage, looked exactly like her child she gives her her child's name and takes her to her father's house.

Sakura Mikan then meets Maki Kurano, code named Ariyoku, who tells her that there were rebels in the Janus operation that were looking out for her. She doesn't believe him but when he warns her against returning to the base of operation, she turns and runs towards Okinawa. Meanwhile, Hyuuga Natsume realizes he loves Sakura Mikan.

Persona, Natsume, Hotaru and Koko head off to the Janus main operations building. Natsume is told that Sakura Mikan was not at the base, evoking absolute wrath, but they were there on an information hunt. Inside, Natsume runs into Maki Kurano who tells him to run but they are intercepted by Janus. Janus kills Maki – who had told the other rebels to warn Sakura – and captures Natsume.

….

So Far…

Mikan Sakura has returned to the Academy, saved Natsume, explained her damned heritage, and turned her back on her friends. Now, a long lost father who couldn't give a damn about his only daughter arrives to spell out the doom she is going to face. What is the Tract of Death and who is Sakura Mikan?

Characters

Hirazuki Idare

He is second in command in Janus's organization. He has a grudge against Mikan for kicking him off the status quo ladder. He had black hair and sharp gray eyes that seem to pierce you. He has no Alice and is a threat to their lives. He is portrayed after Devil May Cry's Vergil.

Aki Tsukaima

He has gold eyes and lavender hair. Aki was pronounced Student Council Head at the age of sixteen, by far the youngest. He has the Alice of Age Transferrence where he can literally turn young, along with six others. His Alice is limited only by the quantity of people, not by time. He plays a mysterious part in the whole situation and is actually thirty nine in age. He has an affection for Sakura Mikan and while she doesn't know it, he is actually also an Immortal.

Janus

He was once called Emmanuel but changed his name during the Guardian Ritual where a 'brother' called – mockingly – Judas Escariot turned him into an Immortal. He forced a scientist named Faust to create Halogen, a silver liquid that manufactured Immortals. Sakura Mikan was the only successful experiment due to her position as an Alice and her ability to Nullify. He is hellbent on getting back Sakura Mikan for another ritual to revive the dead Judas Escariot and an undead army of Immortals.

Maki Kurano

He is the deceased leader of the Janus rebellion. He saved Natsume from total annihilation but lost his life in the process. He has no Alice but is a Janus operative, ranked tenth.

Raion

He is currently on the front lines of the Academy's war. He is/was the lover of Dalta – deceased – and is out for revenge against Janus. He is – unofficially – next in line for the leadership of the resistance. He has no Alice but is a Janus operative, ranked fifteenth.

Dalta

She is of Greek lineage and of a family that practices a sort of magic. She can sense spirits and send them off safely. She is in love with Raion. She was killed while on a mission to gather information in the Janus building in Tokyo. She and the other rebel, Kaitou, retrieved the scrolls on how to kill an Immortal. She has silver white hair and gold eyes. She is not a Janus operative but is used as an external spy.

Kaitou

He is the newest member of the rebellion and is considered hotheaded by most. He helped Dalta retrieve the Scrolls.

Kyosuke

He is a low ranked Janus operative who wants a quick ride to the top of the ladder. He is portrayed as a bootlicker

Iroyashi Kieran

He is Mikan's biological father and doesn't care much for Mikan. He loved his mistress – Mikan's mother – dearly and was enraged when she was murdered. He advises Mikan 'do not be the sacrifice you need to be to save this pathetic world you're trying to desperately to fit in'. He is proud of her regardless of her foolishness.

A/N: So, did it make any sense? Just so you know, I'll be adding the P.O.V.'s at the top of the paragraphs so you won't be confused anymore, since I've gotten so many complaints about it. But, I'll tell you that I only did it for the fun of it because I love confusing people.. It's just my sadistic way of saying I love you guys. If anyone has any questions, review the chapter with the questions or email me and I'll post them in the next chapter at the bottom.
