G.A quote of the day:

"Don't forget me so easily...!"

-Natsume Hyuuga

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"W-what do you want?" A voice whispered on the other side of the door. Natsume lifted his head and widened his eye's as he heard the familiar voice of his brunette; Mikan. "K-katashi says that I'm not allowed to go outside... so please leave." She stuttered nervously. Natsume couldn't breathe at all, or move, or see. Most of all he couldn't believe that he heard her voice again. Only it wasn't really coming from his Mikan, it was still her voice and that made him weak in the inside. It flipped his heart upside down and his mind was completely blank.

Oh his voice couldn't and wouldn't come out at the most crucial moment. It was stuck in his throat alright.

"Mik- erm a I mean Keiko-sama? Can you please open the door for us?!" Luna's voice boldly broke through the suffocating air.

"L-like I said, Katashi-"

"Who cares what he said? I'm asking you!!" She pressed her palms against the pure white, wooden door. She leaned her temple to it and closed her eyes. "Please."

The door creaked a bit and a pair of green eye's met navy blue eye's.

"O-okay but just for a bit or-" She pursed her lips and opened the door wider. "Come on in." She whispered and glanced around until her eyes found red. She looked away and closed the door when the two entered.

"Keiko... Do you remember us at all?" Luna looked down at the ground, biting her lips anxiously for an answer.

"I'm sorry but I've never seen you two ever in my life." She ran a hand through her hair countless times to distract herself from talking. "I-I'm not allowed out of my... r-room. There can't possibly be any relationship between us-" She was interrupted by someone. It was Natsume. He stood up with eye's covered by bangs.

"Shut up." He answered and walked out of the room, slamming the door on his way out.

"W-what's w-wrong?" Keiko panicked at the sudden outburst of the crimson eye boy. "Did I anger him in any way?"

"No... He's not angry at you, it's more like he's angry with himself." Luna sighed. What an idiot. "Do you know who you are... Keiko?" She asked closing her hands together.

"Um... I'm... Keiko Makoto. The wife of Katashi Makoto." She answered, her voice very serious.

"That's wrong." Luna frowned. "You're not Keiko Makoto. There is no Keiko Makoto." She sucked in her breath, " You're not even married to Katashi Makoto."

"Huh? But h-he-"

"Whatever he told you were all lies!" She snapped and just as fast, she apologized. "S-sorry..."

"Listen... you are Mikan Sakura. The young, beautiful, brunette with hazel eye's. You have a special ability called an Alice, which is: Nullification, Insertion and Stealing Alice. That boy that just stormed out is your one true love; Natsume Hyuuga!" Luna said all in one breath.

"I don't have brown hair or hazel eye's. I'm just an ordinary housewife! I know not of what you speak of and my one and only true love is Katashi!" She argued with a sad expression. "Get out of my room or I'll call Katashi-sama and he'll make sure to get rid of you." She glared at Luna. "I don't know who you are but I'm Keiko Makoto the wife of Katashi and there is no Mikan Sakura that I know of. Please leave me alone from now on and never come back." Luna bit her lip and stood up. She swiped her skirt clean of dust and strode towards the door. She looked back and saw the hurt look on "Keiko Makoto's" face. But just as much hurt, there was also a mixture of confusion expressed in her eyes.

Luna stopped but her head faced the door in front of her, "We'll bring you back... and that's a promise."

Keiko's eye's widened and then closed when the door shut behind her...

"I will be by your side til the very end. Until the very last moment before you disappear into that keyhole. I don't want to be apart from you." Natsume mumbled. Those were his lasts words to Mikan before any of this happened. If only he said something more, if only he had the time to say something more. Like...

"I love you."

Natsume was outside now. As he stormed out of the room earlier he spotted a blooming Sakura tree down the street from Katashi's mansion or whatever it was. He climbed on the branches and wanted to take a nap. Mentally he wanted time to himself. He just couldn't believe that he let her slip out of his hands once again. It was worse this time though. She lost her memories and he could tell that she had no idea who she was; she had lost the very memories of her own being. If only... if only he could have opened that door sooner...

"Aw... I found you." A voice interrupted his thoughts. Instead of facing her way he looked away into the distance and just daydreamed. It was that simple to him. She was no help to him anyway. "We need to go back in there you know. Imai did send me a message to continue on as planned." She sighed, knowing that the situation was partially her fault in a way.

"..." He didn't answer and instead just dropped down. He wasn't the type to give up but right at this moment he felt utterly useless and seeing Mikan made it worse. Seeing her once again made his mind calm again and that was his weakness.

"There's a way to bring her back, Natsume." Luna said under her breath, enough so Natsume could barely hear. He stopped in his tracks and didn't care to turn back.

"I don't need your petty help." Luna's eye's fluttered down and she stared at her pale pink toes behind her white flats.

"Oh like you know what you're doing." He flinched and his lips turned into a menacing scowl.

"I hate you." He mumbled. Luna's eyes widened and she stopped walking altogether. "You only care about yourself." He put his hands in his pockets and left Luna in the dust.

(A/N I have MAJOR WRITERS BLOCK)

BANG BANG BANG

He slammed his fists into the door and kept doing so even until they were forming bruises.

"OPEN THE DOOR!" He shouted.

Finally Mikan opened it but she had a death glare planted on her face. "I thought I told you to-" She was stopped by a pair of arms wrapped around her small waist. It took only a few moments to realize it before she started to pull away from him. "Let go of me!"

"..." He ignored her and buried his face into her hair once again.

"PERVERT!" She screamed and pounded on his back. "LET GO!!! KATASHI!" She called as she panicked.

"Why...?" Natsume finally mustered. He didn't know why but he had this tight feeling in his chest and his mouth would not function correctly, nor would his throat open up to let air in.

"Huh?" She huffed and panted. "Let go of me or I'll tell Katashi-"

"Like I care about him. Tell everyone for all I care." He growled. Mikan turned red with anger.

"STOP THIS!" She demanded, her nails digging into his skin. "YOU PERVERT!!"

"I understand..." Natsume continued to ignore her. "You have every right to give up on me and leave me. But you don't have the right to give up on yourself."

"What are you...? KATASHI!" She shouted with all her might.

"I-I... just wanted you to know...that I-I..." He stuttered. He wrapped his arms tighter and inched his face closer to hers so that they were only mere centimeters apart. Their noses barely touching.

"What are you do-

"I Love you Mikan." He smiled and placed a hand behind her head. Then he closed the gap between the two.
