Chapter 1

Hey guys! This is my first story so I hope it's not too bad. Enjoy! and please leave reviews!

Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice or else there would have been more seasons of the anime!

It was a peaceful fall evening for AliceTown. A soothing breeze was blowing and people were out enjoying the fine weather before winter settled in once and for all. Everything was serene and calm except for a commotion caused by a certain brunette.

Seventeen year old Mikan Sakura was running as fast as she could out of a bakery with half a loaf of stolen bread tucked into her skimpy shirt.

"Get out and stay out, you filthy little rat!" The shopkeeper's shriek could be heard, ringing in the now disturbed atmosphere. Mikan just laughed to herself and slowed down to a walk to check her surroundings.

She was in a busy part of town and shopkeepers were eyeing her warily. It was pretty obvious that she had stolen from the bakery and they were carefully watching her movements as to make sure she would not steal from them. Mikan just ignored them and continued to eat her stolen dinner- she had no idea when her next meal would be anyways.

She decided to head towards the pub and visit her, more or less, only friend. There were some catcalls and whistles from the men as she entered and walked towards the bar. She simply brushed them off with her middle finger. She sat down at the barstool waiting for the bartender's attention. Soon enough he turned around and gave the auburn haired girl a warm smile.

"Hey Mikan, haven't seen you in a while. Barely clothed as always I see!"

She laughed and greeted him, ignoring the friendly jab, and scrutinized what she was wearing: A white low cut button up shirt with the ends tied up to show her stomach, dark denim shorts that were worn pretty badly, and knee high red boots with the handle of a knife sticking out (for protection of course). Not bad, although most ladies scorned her appearance. If only grandpa saw her now, he would probably disapprove and demand her change immediately. Not that it matters anymore, she reminded herself and flinched a little at the thought.

"So what'll it be today Mikan? The usual?" Tono asked effectively snapping her out of her thoughts.

Mikan just nodded and Tono handed her a glass of his specialized pina colada. Made with his alice of course. She quietly sipped her drink and watched Tono go back to work.

After a few minutes of peace the door to the pub was slammed open and all noise abruptly ceased as everyone looked to the front.

A tall handsome man, probably in his early twenties, dressed in all black walked toward the bar in the back of the room like he owned the place. Everyone knew who he was, Captain Persona, the most feared and ruthless pirate. He was the captain of Deaths Wings, the most successful and feared pirate ship. Persona always got what he wanted and did whatever it took; destroying whatever was in his way. Very few had gone against him, won, and lived to actually tell the tale. It was said that you would beg for death's wings to take you if you ever pissed him off.

Little did Mikan know that he was after her this time.

He gave anyone who dared to stare a death glare and ordered his drink. Soon everyone went back to normal and the noise steadily increased. Persona chose the seat beside Mikan and at first silently sipped his drink. Mikan just ignored him and got up to leave, as she had finished drinking hers.

"Sit down" she heard him say.

Mikan just ignored him and continued to get up when all of a sudden she felt a strong hand grip her wrist painfully, forcing her back down.

"When I say something, you do it." She just looked the other way and ignored him. "Who was he to tell her what to do?" His grip on her wrist tightened and she heard him growl under his breath.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you." he ordered. When she refused to do so he grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. She gasped in pain and fearfully looked at him. His coal black eyes held no compromise.

"W-What do you want from me?" Mikan asked pulling herself out from his grasp.

"Hmm, you might have an idea about what I'm going to ask you. But first I think we should talk in a more private place." He said noticing some eavesdroppers out of the corner of his eye. He got up and grabbed Mikan's wrist once again, dragging her outside with him.

"Hey, wait-"she had no time to protest before she was unwillingly dragged outside. She glanced back one last time to see Tono watching with concern etched across his handsome face.

Persona led them a little way from the pub before roughly letting go of Mikan. She rubbed her wrist disdainfully, knowing it was going to bruise.

"Now that we're alone; I'm going to get right to the point." He paused a little to see if Mikan was listening then continued

"I know who you are Mikan Sakura, and I knew who your parents were. They had something I needed and now that they and your grandfather are gone, you must know where it is."

Mikan tried to hide the hurt that flashed across her face at the mention of her parents and recently deceased grandfather. Of course Persona caught on and smirked.

"Oh my, I'm sorry. I forgot that subject was quite sensitive for you. I must express to you how sorry I am for your loss." He mockingly added and laughed cruelly at the pained look on Mikan's face.

"Now, back to the current matter at hand. You tell me where it is willingly, or I make you."

Of course Mikan knew what he was talking about but decided to play dumb.

"I have no idea what you're talking about so would you please be kind enough to leave me alone." She asked politely enough and began to walk away from him.

Persona would not have any of this though and grabbed her arm, slamming her back into the stone wall behind them.

"I guess I'm going to have to force you then" he snarled in her ear.

Mikan gulped and realized how the dire the situation was. She was trapped in an isolated area, at night, by Persona. Her alice would be of no use, and so, she did the only thing she could think of doing at a situation like this.

She lifted her leg and kneed Persona in the groin. He groaned and clutched it in pain. As soon as he released his hold on her, Mikan tried to run as fast as she could back towards the pub.

Before she could get five feet though, she felt a blinding pain on the side of her stomach. Mikan cried out in pain and convulsed on the ground. She looked toward the source of the pain and saw a dagger stuck into the right side of her stomach. Blood was gushing out and she felt herself getting lightheaded. A dark figure loomed over her and she came to figure out it was Persona.

"You little bitch, I'll show you! " he shouted and kicked her leg as hard as he could.

Mikan heard a crack and cried out as the pain took over.

"I am going to find out what you're hiding. I will make you crack Mikan Sakura. Everyone has a weakness and I sure as hell will find yours!" he threatened.

Awwww shit, now I'm totally screwed she thought as the darkness took over.

Is this any good? Review please!
