[begin natsume POV]

"transfer student?", I asked. "yeah", ruka replied. "she's supposed to be really pretty." "humph", I said and went back to my magna. no one particularly appealed to my tastes. no one but one. Her name was mikan, like the orange, but I called her polka-dots. She was a stupid girl with bad grades and her alice was practically useless. But she had good humor and a kind heart, although she could be selfish at times. She had hazelnut brown hair that she had always kept in ponytails. She was also a one star. I was, according to a manga standard, the silent type who had a temper, but not a playboy. We were polar opposites. My grades were best in the class, I had the highest star on the list and I was in the dangerous ability class. And, as said, im a lot quieter. Polka-dots always had something coming out of her mouth, weather or not there was a point to it. But she left. Her mother, who had just re-appeared into her life, asked mikan to leave the academy with her, and she did so. It's been 5 years. It couldn't be that.....

"are you sure you wanna to this?" "yeah....it Wont be too hard......ne?" "um..........ahehehe..........." "it was hard for you your first time, right?" "yeah, ichi, but your not as weird a I am.....was." We looked up at the sakura petals swirling around us in a celestial dance, twirling and floating every witch where and way. "the highschool uniforms here are sooo cute, and every one can wear accessories!!" "baaaaaaaaaka! Those are for people who can possibly loose control of their alice, or cane control theirs at all." "suge, mika-chin!! You've relle matured since we first met. ne, is your earring you always wear from someone here? Your blushing!!!" "go away...baka.........mmn"

[narumi's classroom]

narumi sauntered into the classroom with his blindingly sparkly aura. "class, today we have a transferstudent, ahem, JUST one, and a very nice surprise," he said. "ii-chan, you may come in now." there was a long silence. Intrigued my the new kids lateness, they all turned their heads toward the door. Even natsume and hotaru were intrigued and looked up from their books. "ii-chan?" naru began to walk toward the door, when it suddenly swung open and a voice rang out. "I AM SOOOO SORRY IM LATE NARUMI-SENSEI!!!" naru smiled warmly and gestured for the person belonging to the voice to come in. And in walked a petite beauty, with ichigo blonde hair to her waist and rectangular glasses perched low on her nose. She stopped short just after the door, her arm holding onto something behind it. "the surprise comes after," narumi said. She nodded and her arm swung to her side. She skipped up to the board and wrote KAEDE ICHIGO. " hi!! im kaede ichigo and i transferred her from hokkaido. Originally i should be in eighth grade but the standard at my old school was much higher." she rang. "you can call me ii-chan or ichigo or ichi, like my half sister does." there was a pause, then the room erupted with whispers. "she so cute!!" "ugh i know she gonna steal alla the good guys" "nuh huh natsu wouldn't go for her" "he wouldn't go for anybody baka"" psh everyone knows im his number one candidate!!" after naru hushed the class, the announced the surprise. " minna, we have a most wonderful surprise!!! ii-chan, go ahead." " cou two people named natsume and hotaru go out to the hall? hotaru and natsu arose with confused lookes on their faces, and walked to the doors at the back of the room. [end] [begin suspires POV] i was worried. Would the recognize me? Would they be happy to see me? How would the feel? How would they react?? i heard the door behind me open and i stiffened. i was sitting on the floor next to the front door reading battleh roiale. My long hair created a canopy around my face. The footsteps got nearer and a deepish voice asked bordely, "are you the surprise?" haha i forgot i dyed my hair lighter after i left and kept it that color so people wouldn't recognize me outside of the academy. "oi, i asked you a question." i lowly lifted my head, my hair gliding down from my face. "konnichiwa natsume, hotaru," i said looking to where they could see my face but it was still at a 'shy look away angle'. They stared at me. And stared at me. There was a thud and i looked to the side to see a girl with long flowing black hair on her knees, with tears in her eyes looking at me. The boy, with layered stark black hair stormed back into the classroom. "is this some kind of sick joke??" i heard him yell. ichigo's voice rang out strong, clear and serious. "no," she replied. "that is my half-sister, Sakura Mikan."
