[A/N: TOTALLY RE-EDITING ALL MY CHAPTERS. Anyways I'm baccccccccck, I was gone for what, 3 months? Lol, sorry!]
In the middle of a quiet hospital room, stood two people hovering over a young boys body strapped to a hospital bed.
"He's stabilized, it was hard to tell at first, but he'll live." A nurse said to a blonde man standing at the food of the bed.
"As long as Natsume-kun is alive! It's too bad though, poor kid. I wonder what he will think when he finds out what we did? As long as he comes to understand that it was for their own good." The blonde man said as he studied the young boy.
"Narumi! We have a problem, they're here already.." Shouted another man who happened to be out of breathe just when he reached the door.
"Ahh! Already? My, oh my! If only I could use my Alice for times like this, to see my poor kawaii students go through so much.. I just can't bare it!" Narumi-sensei said as he put his head on the mans shoulder.
"Get your damn head off my shoulder before I-" The man was interrupted
"Ahh, Misaki-kun! Everything will go according to plan!" Narumi said as he planted a kiss on Misaki-sensei's cheek, leaving the man pheromoned, taking this chance he ran off.
"Un.." Was all that came out of the unconscious boy.
Astonished the nurse called a near-by doctor.
"Mik-an" The boy whispered again as his eyes slowly began to open.
Doctors came swarming in ready to investigate the boy.
"Natsume Hyuuga, can you hear me?" One of the doctors said.
"Give him some space, he's just waking up damn you!" Misaki-sensei was trying to cramp up to see the young boy.
"We need you to give the doctors their space, please follow me" The nurse grabbed Misaki-sensei as they fled the scene.
"Ahh, Narumi so glad for you to join us." A cold empty voice said at the end of a table.
"Well, I had to see something for myself." A straight-faced Narumi replied, as he joined the table.
"I am only here for a minute and to ask you personally.." The man in a coal black suit said as he stood up and shifted his collar.
"It's done already, she is gone.. She will no longer be a problem for you guys"
Narumi emphasized problem.
"Great, than I am no longer needed here.. Things will remain as they are, I will take care of everything else." The man said again as he walked towards the door.
"Alright, thank you for your time Mr. Koshimoto" Narumi said as bowed graciously.
"And Narumi.. Don't think we won't be watching. We got eyes & ears everywhere." The man said his final words as he left the room.
"WHAT?" Natsume exclaimed, as he sat up on his bed.
"Honestly boy," Narumi said as he sat on a chair next to Natsume's bed as he continued "The Imai siblings are missing in a time vortex, all because she wanted you here, more than herself. That is why you are able to sit where you are sitting and breathe the air that you are breathing. It saddens me, however we have the government on our back, questioning us if this Academy is starting to rebel against the real authorities"
"Yeah, yeah yeah. I don't care. I just want her where she's supposed to be! And that's where you're damn sitting." Guilt was consuming Natsume, so was frustration.
The angry and confused boy felt a sharp slap.
"Did you just hear me? The Imai siblings aren't here. A lot has happened, and we don't know why, but for some reason she decided your life was more important than hers.. And her brother had to be dragged into it as well.. Don't act so mighty, when you should be worried about how you're going to face Mikan and tell her why Hotaru-chan is here, when Mikan won't even have any idea who any of us are." Narumi stopped, now he was the guilty one. He had just shared what they did to Mikan's memories.
"What do you mean, she has no idea of who any of us are? Are you telling me what I think you're telling me?" Natsume didn't know how to react, but his heart felt like it busted into a thousand pieces. She has no recollection of anyone at the Academy, including him.
A sharp pain shot through his heart like a bullet. Feeling numb, Natsume laid back down on the bed.
Narumi, knowing he had said too much, did nothing but retreat from the room.
"I wonder what she's doing, right this minute? And what the hell was that baka Imai thnking? Leaving me to face Mikan alone.. hmph.." Natsume closed his eyes.
"Mikan." Was all he whispered as he drifted off into sleep.
It has been nearly a week since Natsume was able to leave the hospital, feeling melancholy, he sat on a bench.
"Natsume!" A familiar voice said as he ran up to the raven-haired boy.
"Ruka..." Natsume replied with a soft voice, as he looked into his friends eyes.
"I can't believe you decided to leave your room. I wanted to come welcome you back, but wasn't sure if you wanted guests." The animal-loving boy said as he sat beside his best friend.
"I only wanted to look at this place again, see if-"
"I know, I can't believe it still either. The whole class won't shut up about it. It's best if you stay away for awhile" Ruka said as he stood up "Sakura-san is still, the whole talk of the school."
Ruka, very concerned, glanced at Natsume.
"Baka," He started as he stood up and patted the boys head, "I'll be fine." He finished as he started to walk away
"No you won't. None of us will.. Their are rumor's going around.." Ruka said as he walked up to pace with Natsume
"Who cares about rumors any ways. I don't believe anything for a second. Narumi and this whole school are just trying to keep us apart.. I don't think any of what he said is true!" Natsume began to sway over from exhaustion.
"Natsume, please don't over do it." Ruka said as he was trying to calm his best friend down.
"Shut up, leave me alone." An embarrassed Natsume said as he got up again with all his strength.
"What will Aoi-chan think if she sees you like this?"
"Aoi isn't here, and neither is Mikan!.. It's all this damn Academy's fault!" Was all Ruka could make out when the angry and confused boy said as he ran away.
Not thinking twice that this would be their last encounter for a couple years, Ruka shook it off and walked away.
