A New Start

Chapter 1:

Farewell for now

Mikan was crying her heart out by Narumi's shoulder, yet she couldn't tell him anything. All she could do was cry, trying not to drown in her own misery and despair. Though, she didn't have to tell him what happened around her lately with Luna, because he already figured it out; or rather it was so obvious. The higher-ups were targeting his "almost" adopted daughter and student of his class, the cruelty couldn't possibly be any worse than sending Luna to crush her mentally? Could it?

But what had shocked him the most were the question she had asked and the fact that he promised her to help arranging it.

Flashback:

Narumi was on his way out of the teachers lounge when he had met a very dull looking Mikan.

"Narumi-sensei, can I please speak with you for a moment? If possible a place where we won't be disturbed" was what Mikan had said to him and of course he wouldn't deny her a little chit chat, so he took her to the teachers lounge. (There was nobody there at the time, because it's in the middle of school, so most teachers were in class)

So after arriving in the teachers lounge they sat in the couch and started the little chat Mikan wanted.

"Narumi-sensei is there a possibility that I can get transferred to another school? I heard from some of the other teachers, that there exist other Alice schools around the world. So can I please get transferred?" She said with teary eyes.

Narumi's eyes widened by this statement, for a moment it was like his heart stopped, but he managed to answer her.

"Are you sure Mikan-chan? I-i mean there isn't any other Alice academies in Japan, so that means you will have to leave Japan and you won't be able to see Hotaru nor any of your other friends."

Narumi was almost shivering by the thought of Mikan leaving the academy. Mikan the little girl that always could make him smile.

"Narumi-sensei I'm sure of this, I really want to go. I need to go. I don't really care where i end up;

I just wish to improve my Alice so I can protect everyone. You probably know the reason why, and

As it is now I don't even have the power to protect myself, so how could I possibly protect my friends? Narumi I beg you. Please let me transfer to another school." That was the last thing she said, before she totally broke down. Tears were running down her angelic face, and they kept on coming, as if they would never stop again. Silence engulfed them for some minutes, before Narumi broke the silence.

"If you really want to transfer, then I guess I can't stop you. The question now is just where you want to go? Though I'm saying this I'm really going to miss you a lot Mikan-chan."

"Narumi-sensei I think it's for the best, and please don't tell my friends yet. I don't want them to know it before I'm already on my way." Mikan said, still sobbing and with a shivering voice.

"Well I think that the Danish Alice Academy will be good for you, since they specialize in very different Alice, so-"Narumi was cut of in the middle of his sentence by Mikan.

"When will I leave?" she said now looking all determined.

"That depends on how much more time you want to be here. And of course I have to contact the Danish academy a-" again Narumi was cut of.

"How soon can it be Narumi-sensei?"

"If I take contact to them after this, then I guess you will be able to leave tomorrow morning, so you better go pack now Mikan."

"Thank you Narumi, I mean otou-san. I promise that when I've become strong enough to protect everyone, I'll come back. I'll come back to show this damn academy."

End of flashback.

That was the last thing that was said before Mikan really started to cry, and that was when Narumi hugged Mikan; his almost adopted daughter like there was no tomorrow. There was almost silence now, except for the sobs, that became smaller and smaller. A few minutes past by, and then Mikan Ran out of the teachers lounge leaving Narumi alone there, still thinking of the things that happened. How could life be so cruel? It almost pained him as much as it actually did Mikan, yet it was her it all happened to, and he could only stand there and look at what the academy did.

He could only comfort her when she needed it, and try to protect her, only it was that damn hard to do so. So what was he supposed to do? When he started to think about it, which he did almost all the time, it was like his brain was consumed by this unending insanity. Still he had to think clear, and maybe this was for the best. Maybe it was better that Mikan got out of this place, and learned how to defend herself, without the academy targeting her like now. It was not fair. It was definitely not fair, that Mikan should suffer the way she did, and after all she was planning on using her Alice to protect everyone, not like her mother, working for the AAO. So maybe this was her chance to improve her nullification Alice, and maybe get to improve her grades, so she could come back and face the academy. Maybe she would even discover her second Alice, and improve on that to. The only sad thing with this was that he wouldn't be able to see her grow up, he wouldn't be able to keep an eye on her, and lastly he wouldn't be able to see that smile hers. But if it could help her just the slightest he would surely let her go. Just for her.

So he got out of his sad thoughts and went to the office to seal the deal with the headmaster. After all he had to know, and had to agree, and he surely would.

While walking in these empty hallways he couldn't avoid looking out of the windows, where he surprisingly saw Mikan sitting against the Sakura tree, not even noticing the sleeping Natsume above her. He was, as usual, sleeping at the Sakura trees branches. Narumi couldn't imagine how Natsume would react to her suddenly disappearing, her suddenly transferring. Still he blocked the thought of it, and started thinking of the following events.

As he had walked in most of the empty hallways, he reached his destination, the headmaster's office. He knocked on the big massive wooden door that leads to the office, and as he entered he saw the small, boyish looking principal. He was a pure devil. He was one of the reasons to Mikan's suffering, so just by looking at him, made his blood boil as hot water.

Judging by the look on his face, it was as if he knew what his intensions were. It was as if he knew that Mikan had requested to be transferred, it was like it was part of his plans.

After Narumi had entered the office, the big doors closed right behind him, and with that a big smile was plastered on the headmasters face.

Mikan was on her way back to her room to pack all of her belongings (earlier she had taken a nap under the Sakura tree). After all she had to leave the academy, the very next day. Of course she had all evening to pack, but still she wanted to make sure that she remembered all of her things, and of course she had to make time, to her special goodbye to her friends. Not that she was going to say goodbye to them personally, because she knew that it would make her even more sad than she already was, so she was going to write each of her friends a letter, where she would somehow explain the reason of her sudden leave.

As she reached the girls dorm, she found her way to her room, though her feet's seemed to walk slower than usual.

She reached her room, without running into her friends. She looked around in her room, thinking how much she would miss it. Even though she was only a one star, she still loved her room. She started packing her clothes and photo albums, after that there wasn't much left. So you say the packing was easily done. The letters was quite the opposite. She wasn't really good at expressing herself, and mostly she ended up looking like an idiot. But again that was just her easy going personality, so what could people possibly expect from her?

After her suitcases and her handbag were ready she let out a big sigh, and quietly said: "I guess this is it. God I'm going to miss this, but I guess it can't be helped, and probably won't even have time for dinner" And with that she sat by her desk, pulling out paper and a pen for the letters.

Narumi's room:

Narumi let out a big sigh as he thought about Mikan leaving the academy. He had already taken care of the details, and surprisingly enough the Danish headmaster was more than Happy to accept a nullification Alice. The Danish headmaster was delighted to have such an Interesting and seldom Alice attend his academy, though he had some questions such as why she was to leave the school, why the Gakuen Alice would happily give away such a special, and seldom Alice without even thinking twice. Narumi could of course not answer these questions as it would make the academy look bad, not that he would mind that, but he knew he would be severely punished if he made such a big mistake.

Fast forward – The next morning.

A knock was heard on Mikan's door, as she was sitting on her bed. Waiting for Narumi to come and pick her up.

She went to the door and opened it, and as the door opened, a very dull Narumi was shown.

"Good morning Mikan-chan. Are you ready to go?" he managed to speak up without shedding a tear or two.

"Well Narumi-sensei I didn't really get much sleep, you see I'd to write letters to my friends, but I assume I can sleep on the trip?" she said with sadness in her voice.

"Yeah, I guess you can do that, after all there is a long way to Denmark, so I suppose you can get some sleep on the plane Mikan-chan."

"Narumi-sensei is there a possibility that you could hand over these letters to my friends after school?" Mikan said pulling out a smile, that made her face seem like an angels.

"Of course I will do that Mikan. But first of all we have to go now, or else the plane will fly away without you, and I assume you wouldn't want that."

"Okay then. Sayonara. I'm going to miss this place." She said, now shedding a tear.

"Just remember Mikan, you can come back to the academy, when you're done with your training. And now we really have to go." Narumi said, and at the same time he took her bags and started going, with her right behind him.

At the Gates of the Academy:

Mikan's bags were put in the trunk of the black limo, and Mikan herself was on her way in the car, silently saying "Sayonara". With this she went off to the airport, leaving her old life behind, getting ready to start a new.

A/N: This is my first fan fiction ever. Hope you like it, and please give me some response, because I would like to know if I should continue this fic, or just erase it. Please no flames, but I would very much like some constructive criticism, so that I can improve my work.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice, and if I did it would be done by now, and they would be a little older, so please don't sue because of such a ridiculous matter.
