Hey there!

To all who already read this fanfic, I've just revised this story and made it better than it was before… I didn't change anything except the number of years Mikan spent in America.

Chapter 1 Ends with Sorrow and a feeling of Betrayal but onwards to a New Beginning

Mikan stared outside the window of the plane she boarded going to America. Her thoughts are filled with the betrayal she felt from her so-called friends who she thought, gave her a sense of completion and contentment; people who made her feel important, useful and gave her a place to belong. But now she felt hurt, betrayed and worse of all, being played like a fool. She feels as if her body is being enveloped with a blanket of sadness and sorrow; a more intense feeling than she ever felt before, a feeling which she always encountered when she was still a child. She always makes herself available in order to help her friends when they're in need, even if to the point of sacrificing her own life just to help them. Doing her very best in certain things to make herself useful to others and all those things makes her feel content and happy, but all those stunts and hard decisions that she did for them meant nothing. They cared less for her and even saying those hurtful things to her made her feel nothing, empty and worthless; a pile of garbage worthy of being set aside and thrown away.

Nothing in her lonely and empty past can compare to the way her so-called friends just did to her. No one knows how she lived her years alone with just her grandfather, not even Hotaru. Though her time with her grandfather is blissful but she felt alone, discontented and lonely. She never had friends because of the fact that kids her age always teases and taunts her about the fact that she's an orphan and has no parents. She often wondered what her parents would look like and the reason why they left her with her grandpa, though, she undeniably loved her grandfather with all her being but she just wants to know how it is like to be loved and cared for by her own birth parents. Even though, her grandfather did his best on taking care of her and trying to take over the spot which is supposed to be filled by her parents, but she still felt empty, discontented and lonely. It is a life given to her by her mother without a known purpose or reason of why she lived and hadn't known if they even loved her or not.

However, her life was turned upside-down when Hotaru Imai came into her life. For once, she felt happy and content as though the empty spot that was reserved for her unknown parents was suddenly filled out by the raven- haired girl. She became the actual opposite of how she was before the raven girl came into her life; a cheerful, bubbly, optimistic and always-a-smile-in-her-face kind of girl. Her years with Hotaru together with her grandpa were blissful and her former pitiful self is nowhere to be found. It is now buried deep within her subconscious and locked away in her past. But then, Hotaru left her to a school faraway, so, those feelings which she kept buried inside of her came spiraling in and filling her whole being.

It was only a month that passed when Hotaru left their village but she felt it was longer than that. It was a life of loneliness, misery and emptiness which her grandfather immediately noticed. And when she thought she had enough of the life she was forced to live again, she made a courageous decision to follow Hotaru to wherever school she attended. Though it is one of the hardest decision she had ever made, a decision which she had to leave her poor grandfather alone. She knew she was being selfish but she couldn't take a life living as an empty doll. Her grandfather knew how she felt and even urged her to go on with her decision promising to send each other letters once a month.

She set out on her journey wishing her grandfather's safety as she left. At the end, she found the academy she was searching for. The school called Alice Academy which is known as a school for the rich and special kids where her friend Hotaru attended. But in an unfortunate event, she unknowingly found herself being enrolled at the said elite school. In reality, the school is for kids with special abilities which are known as Alices and luckily, she had one too, which she undoubtedly inherited from her parents. Now, knowing that that she will be able to attend and be with her best friend made her elated and ecstatic. Her days at the academy were full of exciting adventures and joyous events, though some are horrifying and dangerous but she was content. She even made friends from different ages which she was proud of to have and she also learned how to love. A feeling of warmth and longing for her partner Natsume Hyuuga, who is also known as the most dangerous and the most popular student at the academy. Nevertheless, that never stops her from approaching him every single day. She felt happy and even more contented than her life than ever before because she has friends that will always be there for her. However, it seems that fate was against her as her life was turned back the way it was before after an unfortunate event.

FLASHBACK

It was a year after she entered the academy. So many things have happened and she also met her mother, Yuka which unfortunately died an hour right after she personally met her. It was a sad lost for her part and for others who had known her mother.

Now, it was the first day in Middle School at Alice Academy. She woke up like any other day like she always did and that is being late for her classes. She rushed to the bathroom of her one-star room and bathe, after that, dressing up clumsily like she always did. She grabbed a loaf of bread and ran towards her classroom hoping that she will make it on time but she didn't noticed someone in front of her as she continues to run towards her class. She bumped at that person and fell to the floor on her bum with big THUD.

"Itai," as she rubbed her bottom. She didn't notice the guy that she bumped staring right at her.

"OI, watch where you're going Polka- dots," said by a familiar husky voice which she knew very well.

She looks up and saw Natsume standing smugly there in front of her with a smirk on his face. "Natsume, what are doing here? You're skipping class again?" She questioned at first, but she notice something was amiss. When she realized it she shouted at the already leaving Natsume, "Natsume you PERVERT." Mikan shrieked. "You peeked at my underwear again."

Natsume stopped for awhile and gave a backward glance at her while smirking that hot smirk of his, "I did not peek little girl," he started, "You showed it to me. And besides, if I were given a chance to peek at any girl's undies, I wouldn't want to peek at your old fashioned undies that you're always wearing," as he said that, Mikan was already in front of him. Before he walked away, he leaned in towards Mikan and whispered hotly at her ear, "Wear something sexy next time, little girl."

"YOU STUPID DUMMY! I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL," she yelled to no one, but her yelling was heard all throughout the academy which disturbs all the other classes near her vicinity.

After the useless argument she encountered that morning, she came late as always and ended up scolded by Jinno- sensei. However, the door opened and entered a blond- haired good looking man with violet orbs wearing a really frilly pink dress that makes him look like gay, and that makes the students looked away in disgust except some students namely Mikan, Hotaru, Anna, Nonoko, and Yuu which is also known as Iinchou by many. Though, his gloomy expression caught the other by surprise.

"Hi, Narumi- sensei, what are you doing here?" Mikan asked him curiously, as why he is there and being all gloomy in the middle of another teacher's class.

"Jinno- sensei, can I borrow Mikan for awhile?" Asked Narumi, not even bothering to answer her question and just went to the point of why he's there.

The strict- looking middle-aged man, and is wearing glasses nodded at him and turned his attention to Mikan who was relieved that she didn't got her punishment for being late. "You're really lucky this time Sakura. Now go before I changed my mind for not punishing you." Jinno said while feeling annoyed and irritated.

"Hai, sensei. Ikuyo, Narumi- sensei." She grabbed Narumi's left hand and ran out of the classroom.

When they got out of the classroom, Narumi led Mikan to the Staff room. He made Mikan sat on one of the couch positioned there, while he made a glass of juice for her to drink. After he finished making it, he went towards Mikan and gave it to her, who just stared at him questioningly.

"Now Mikan, as to your question earlier, I went to look for you because there's something I have to tell you." Narumi said softly as he looks at the girl in front of him. "Don't be surprised and depressed, once I told you, okay?" he said even though he knew that she'd exactly do that once he told her the news.

"Okay, but what is it?" A mild curiosity stirring in her eyes as she waited for Narumi to continue what he was about to tell her.

"Well…"he paused while he looked at Mikan who's already starting to get impatient. "...We all know that you haven't seen your grandfather since you left your village a year ago but we knew that he always sends you one letter every month to inform you about his situation." At that, Mikan nods slowly, a terrible feeling slowly enveloping her being, "Now, suddenly he just stopped sending you a letter about a month ago."

"Get to the point, Sensei." Mikan said as her patience already snapped. The sudden foreboding feeling she felt suddenly worsen as she listens to him about her grandfather. He talks as if the world was about to end and in a point of destruction. She knew what the whole talk is pointing to and she already got an idea what the talk is all about but she doesn't want to hear it because she knew it will just make her heart ache in sorrow.

"He's…"he paused then looks at her with sad eyes. "…dead, Mikan. I'm sorry."

Now, her conclusion was confirmed. She knew it was inevitable to delay the truth of the situation but when she heard that, she felt like her world that once filled with bliss and contentment was slowly crumbling to pieces. Her bubbly and cheerful personality that she made for current self, crashed at the moment and her former pitiful lonely self came tumbling right back in. Tears came flowing out from her eyes. She wept and wept as if it was the end of the world for her. Narumi- sensei comforted her in her mourning state, as well as the other teachers that was free at that time, but that did not help her at all.

After an hour and a half of mourning, she slowly wiped her tears away and stood up from where she was sitting and slowly headed towards the door. "I'll be going now, Sensei," she said softly and continued, "I just need some time to be alone. But please Sensei, don't tell my classmates about this, especially Hotaru." said Mikan as she forced a smile on her face and left them.

But before she left, Mikan heard Narumi say, "Okay, Mikan- chan. I just want to let you know that, I'll always be here for you when you need me." Then he smiled at her not caring if the girl wasn't looking at him. He watched silently at retreating figure of the daughter of his beloved deceased Yuka-senpai. 'Please watch over her, Yuka-senpai.'

Mikan walks like a zombie because she was dragging her feet towards the dorm rooms. She doesn't care who sees her looking like that, and her only priority is going to her room and sleep her sorrow away. However, it seems fate has something in mind for her in that moment. A group of three upperclassmen blocked her way to her destination.

"Look whose here," a green-haired upperclassmen said as he scrutinized her. "It's the girl whose Alice is completely useless and ineffective."

"What's her alice again?" said a bald headed middle schooler.

"I think it's called the Nullifying Alice," said the student wearing glasses. "I heard she can nullify our Alice making it like we never used at all."

"I still think it's useless, because everybody here has Alice that we consider as useful and make ourselves special and different than other people," said the green- haired boy as he tightly grips Mikan's right arm making her wince in pain. "Her alice is nothing useful and just worthless like not having any Alice at all. What do you mean Special Ability Class? She doesn't even have an ability to be proud of."

"You tell her dude," said the bald upperclassmen and the three boys laughed at her. "Let's have some fun," said the bald- headed kid. "After all, no one cares for this good- for- nothing excuse for a girl."

Then, the bald-headed student used his Nightmare Alice on Mikan making her held head with her left hand and screamed inpain. The glasses wearing boy used his Levitation Alice on the rocks that he found scattering on the ground and threw them to Mikan making Mikan have bruises all over her body. In addition, the green-haired boy used his Pain Alice on Mikan making her screamed in pain again. The boys enjoyed hearing her screamed in pain as they continue using their Alice on her. Unconsciously, Mikan took the hand of the green-haired boy who has been holding her when they took a minute of rest for using their Alices, and suddenly a bluish glow emits from her left hand. The two boys looked at them slightly curious of why the bluish glow came from two. Then, the green- haired boy felt something leaving his body as the glow of light disappears. He then looked at the hand of Mikan where he and other boys saw a coffee- black stone in her hand. He assumed that it has nothing to do with him but when he tried his Alice on Mikan again, nothing happened. He then grew furious knowing it was Mikan's fault why he can't use his Alice anymore and he thought that Mikan stole his Alice.

"What happened, dude?" asked the bald- headed kid.

"I can't use my Alice anymore. She stole it." He said while accusingly pointing to Mikan who's hanging on her consciousness to stay awake and was confused on what is happening around her. But then she felt something smooth in her hand and she saw an Alice stone in her hand and heard what they were saying about her.

"I- I didn't do that. I swear." said Mikan while stuttering in fear of getting hurt by them again.

"Yeah, right you didn't steal it. I'm going to punish you for stealing my friend's Alice, you THIEF," said the glasses wearing boy as he then levitated some rocks and threw it at Mikan, but the rocks suddenly stopped in mid-air as it was about to hit her. The boy stops using his Alice to see why it suddenly stop but was surprised when the rocks were levitating in its own. They looked at Mikan with curiosity shown on their eyes.

"W-why does those rocks still levitating in its own? I stop using my Alice a minute ago," said the boy wearing glasses. Then, they stared at her altogether.

"H-how did you do that? You don't have a Levitation Alice," stated the green-haired kid questioningly.

"I'm not sure but…" then the rocks fell to the ground and they're the one who was now floating on thin air. "I can do it and…" she paused and looked at them with a menacing glare. "I can also used this." As she said that, the boys saw horrible images seeping through their brains as though the bald- headed kid used his Nightmare Alice on them.

"HEY, DUDE. STOP INCLUDING US WHEN YOU USED YOUR ALICE." yelled the boy wearing glasses.

"ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT? I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME HELL AS YOU GUYS," yelled the bald- headed boy.

Mikan grin at them evilly as she enjoys hearing their screams but then her grin was when she realized what she did. She then, stops using her Alice and let them down on the ground. "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Mikan pleaded at the boys who were gasping for air as though they went for a run in a thousand mile dash.

"Whatever, just don't come near me." Said the green-haired boy.

"Go away you, BAKEMONO." They screamed as they ran away from her.

She was hurt when she heard them accusing her of being a monster, which she is not. However, her bruises and cuts hurt too, as well as her massive headache from the Nightmare Alice. Nevertheless, she ignored her physical and mental pain as she walked dizzily away from that place as her consciousness fading away. Then, with a THUD, she fainted. Unknown to her, a black- haired man, wearing a black overalls and a white mask covering his blood- shot eyes saw the commotion that led her being called a monster. The man had a big smirk on his face but his eyes were showing signs of worry and sadness, also a hint of revenge as he walked towards the fainted brunette. He carried her bridal- style and walked in a fast- pace down the path, which leads to the hospital.

Mikan woke up seeing a pair of blood- shot eyes staring at her. She then slowly sat up on her bed with the help of the man. Mikan was curious as to who the man in front of her is and why he is here but then came to the conclusion that he was the one who brought her here in this place which she concludes as the hospital room. She stares at him; she noticed that the man got a pair of ruby eyes which reminds her a lot of Natsume and that it complements his porcelain white skin and silky black hair. All in all, the man was handsome and is kind of somewhat familiar to her.

"Ano…you're the person who carried me here, right? Arigatou." she said. She looks at him again and decided to ask his name. "You look kind of familiar. Who are you, mister?"

"You're welcome and my name is Rei Serio. This might be a shock to you but…" he trailed off as he looks at Mikan, looking a little hesitant, "I'm your long- lost brother Mikan." Said Rei making Mikan shocked, thinking how a gorgeous hunk like him can be her brother. "Well, I'm technically your older half-brother from our father's side of course. We didn't have the same mother." Now, she added ion her thought, 'Well, that explains it.'

"I know that I somewhat surprised you by showing myself to you in such a delicate time but I think this is a way for me to introduce myself to you with the help of our deceased grandpa." said Rei looking calm and composed but you can see that he's clearly sad if you look in his eyes.

"Same here, but I'm glad that I still have one last relative by my side." said Mikan while giving him a smile.

"Uh…I forgot to tell you that you also have a little brother. You met him when you came here a year ago.

His name is Youichi Hijiri," that second revelation shocked her as well because she didn't expect Youichi to be her little brother. 'No wonder he slowly warms up to me, though since when they he knew that we're siblings?'

"He's outside, right now. Come inside Youichi." called Rei and a second after he called; the door opened revealing a pair of emerald colored eyes and a messy gray hair which is almost looks like the exact replica of Natsume Hyuuga except that, that replica is still 7 years old and have different eye and hair color.

"Onee-san, how are your wounds doing? Are you all right?" asked Youichi with little trickle of tears on his eyes which made him look adorably cute and irresistible to hug.

Mikan look at Youichi who she thinks as the most angelic child she'd ever met, but knew it is mostly on his appearance and not his personality. She then said in a very comforting tone to ease the worry of her little brother. "I'm fine, You-chan. This was just scratches that I got from being clumsy all the time."

Rei looked at her intently, but then looked away when he knew that Mikan will still keep up her stubbornness even further if he meddles into her business. After hugging her sister, Youichi then looked

at Rei and called him a name that made Mikan doubt the man she thought as her older brother but then if that's not true then why does Youichi called him that and he didn't even flinched or bothered.

"Persona- nii, did Mikan- neechan really did come to have bruises all over her body because of her clumsiness?" asked Youichi curiously and at the same time, he was pouting cutely.

"W- What?...You're Persona?" said Mikan while stuttering. She was surprised that the brother she just come to know a couple of minutes ago, was the person who always torments and tortures Natsume and the other students by giving them dangerous missions that if not careful, they may lose their life. She then frowned.

"Yeah, Mikan-chan, my other name is Persona." He said while feeling really bad and guilty as he recalled all the bad things he did to them. Then, he looks at Mikan eye- to- eye while he tries to make up some words for him to apologize, right there and then. Even bowing or kneeling in front of her just to ask for her forgiveness, he will do it. It's for the sake of reuniting with his long- lost beloved sister that he just discovered 3 months ago from their Uncle Kazuki, the Principal of the High School Department. After staring at her with a hint of regret that you can see in his eyes, he knelt down in front of her beside his little brother who is also bowing and asking for forgiveness. "I'm sorry for hurting each one of your classmates, Imouto- chan. I even hurt you physically and I have even tried to use my Alice on you. I am really sorry. I just recently discovered that you're my little sister about 3 months ago, a week after I tried to kill you." Persona clenched his fist when he recalled that if Mikan didn't use her Alice back at the Hanahime den, then that would be the last time he would see his sister. "If… if Uncle Kazu didn't tell me, maybe now you won't be here alive." He said, while for the second time in his life he cried after he accidentally used his Alice on his father a month after Youichi was born.

"Mikan- neechan," shouted Youichi who was trying to make Mikan forgive his big brother even though he knew what his big brother have been doing to their sister but, it is not his fault when they have only been told late about the fact that she was their sister. "Please forgive Persona- nii because he's just been doing what he's told to do and even I didn't know about you being my big sister." He explained while trying to look adorable in order to persuade her sister to forgive his brother. "Please Mikan- neechan…" now he used his puppy- dog eyes and added a pout.

Mikan couldn't help but stare gawkily at her little brother's cute action that could convince her that

Persona didn't mean all those threats, the torture and torments she received from him. However, when she thinks about it again, Persona is only doing what he has been told to do. 'Maybe I'll reconsider it, about him being my older brother. At least I've met my last relatives.' She thought and then she said in a very soft and calm voice but they all know that she is still angry. "I've decided to accept you as my brother but don't even think that I'll forgive you that easily for what you've done to me and my friends. I've almost died because of you." She said that but then she saw his expression of rejection and sadness. She sighed and hopes that her decision won't backfire. "I still have time to think about either to forgive you, or not because I still don't trust you. But either way, one day I'll have to forgive you."

Persona's expression after he heard what Mikan told him is unreadable because his expression is a mix of happy emotion with a little bit of disappointment for she did not still forgive him. He understands why, and that is enough for him. Still, he is happy that Mikan accepts him as her biological brother. However, based on what he saw earlier, he needs to convince Mikan to join the Dangerous Ability Class because she didn't only have the Nullification Alice that she got from their father but she also have the S.E.C Alice from her mother, which is very dangerous. And now, he's hesitating to tell her or not, but he doesn't have a choice on the matter except to tell her himself or the higher- ups will find out that he didn't put Mikan Sakura under his care.

"I fully understand why you can't forgive me yet, but I have to tell you something that might make you angry." He paused, and looks at Mikan who stares at him confused. "I'll have you to transfer to the Dangerous Ability Class."

Mikan was surprised to hear that from him even though she knew why he told her that. She used two Alices earlier that she knew the two upperclassmen possesses and she stole the green- haired boy's

Alice. She may even have to call it dangerous too, because by the looks of it, with her kind of Alice that she now possesses, she could use any Alice she wants. Still, she does not want to be part of the D.A class, and labeled her as dangerous.

"I don't want to." She said looking down. Youichi look at her and Persona, wondering why his brother is telling her to transfer to the D.A class even though they all know his sister's Alice is not dangerous at all. "I know Persona- nii that you saw me did those things to them and I almost killed them if I didn't stop, but I don't want to be labeled as a dangerous person to other people."

Youichi was surprised to hear that his sister almost killed someone by using her Alice and that it can be dangerous. He looks at his older brother hoping that he can get any answers from him regarding this matter. Persona felt someone looking at him, so he looks down at the person who's staring at him. He knew that Youichi did not understand what is happening and he was asking him for answers.

"Youichi, I know that you don't know that your sister over here has four Alices, three of which she inherited from your mother. As for her Nullification Alice, she got that from our father." He said then he continue after he saw that Mikan gaped at him because of what she heard, "So all in all, if she only had the Nullification Alice, she won't be labeled as a student of the D.A class like us; but she has the S.E.C Alice, which means she can steal any Alices of other people; erase them; and also copy their Alices and making them her own. And because of that, her Copy Alice labeled her as dangerous, because she can have any Alices in the world if she wanted to, even the most dangerous Alices." Explained Persona in details that even Mikan understand now, why Persona needs her to be in the D.A class. Youichi just nodded.

"I need to train you, so, that you can't harm other people if you accidentally use your Alices like stealing their Alice or use the Alices that you copied from them. You may need to talk to our Uncle because he wants to talk to you as soon as possible." Persona said as he stood from his chair and was now already preparing to leave. "And the doctor said that you can leave the hospital tomorrow. Talk to me if you're ready." As he said that, he left leaving Mikan deep in her thought while Youichi stared at her, curious about her decision to join the D.A class.

"Mikan- neechan, so, are you going to join our class?" he asked curiously, "You know that you have to train your new Alices because if not, you're going to end up hurting others including your friends and us, your family." ended Youichi while stating the fact.

"I don't know. I'll need some time to think about it, but one thing's for sure, I don't want to hurt everyone." She stated, and then she yawned, "I think that you need to go now, You-chan. I need to get some sleep." She said as she lay down to bed then Youichi starts to hear some light snoring.

"Goodnight, Mikan- neechan." Then he kiss Mikan's forehead and left the room.

NEXT DAY…

Mikan left the hospital wearing her new Middle School uniform that Persona gave her that morning. She ran in a hurry for she was already late for her class. She didn't want to be absent on the second day of class, so when she saw someone using a Teleportation Alice, she copied it and started using it for the same reason that the student used it. She landed in front of her classroom, and opened it cautiously, scared that maybe their teacher is Jinno- sensei. But when she opened the door, she found her favorite teacher standing in front of the classroom wearing a frilly pink tutu which showed his not-shaven legs that makes you want to puke if you see it, matched with a princess crown.

"Hi Mikan- chan, how nice of you to join us." said Narumi as he twirls around just like a ballerina.

"Sorry, I'm late Narumi- sensei and Ohayo minna." Mikan said cheerfully inviting her classmates to greet her in response.

"Ohayo, Mikan- chan." The class chorused except a certain raven- haired cold- hearted girl tinkering her new invention.

"Hotaruuu…" Mikan shouted happily, as she jumped at the raven- haired girl trying to hug her, but then

Hotaru pulled out her BAKA GUN and fired at the brunette girl making her get thrown away across the room and slammed at the wall.

"Itai, Hotaru, you meanie." Mikan said while rubbing the spot where it hurts.

But then, the speaker suddenly turned on and then announced that Mikan is needed at the headmaster's office, making her classmates turn their attention to her and ask her questions like if she did something bad or naughty that they may want to call for her urgently. She shook her head and then paid them goodbye. She left in a hurry, running along the hallways rather than using her new Teleportation Alice.

When she reached her destination, she fixed and calmed herself before she turned the knob, but it was lock. She wondered why the knob would not open, but then she decided to teleport herself in, in thought that maybe the headmaster forgot to unlock the door.

When she was inside the office, she saw her brothers, Persona and Youichi sitting on the chairs provided for the visitors, opposite to them, was the principal of the H.S department, which she knew him to be her Uncle. They were all surprised to see her appear like that before them except the headmaster because he already expected her action after being locked out of the room.

"So, you must be Ms. Mikan Sakura, the student who has the S.E.C Alice who inherited the Alice of Yuka

Azumi and the Nullification Alice from Izumi Yukihara; and also the sister of Youichi Hijiri and Rei Serio a.k.a Persona, the teacher of the Dangerous Ability Class. Don't forget, The High School department Principal Kazuki Yukihara, her Uncle," stated the headmaster amusingly. Mikan was shock to hear that the headmaster knew that information regarding herself and even the names of her parents.

"How did you know all those things? I don't even know my parents except for mother." Mikan said questioningly at the headmaster, then she glared at Persona. "You told him, didn't you?" she said accusingly.

"No, I didn't. I just know that the higher- ups know everything even the part that you have the S.E.C Alice." Persona said defending himself at the accusation his sister threw at him.

"Your brother is right. We know everything, but we have to tell you that, because of your Alice being the most dangerous in all we have handled so far. We can't let you stay here in the academy," He paused as he looked at Mikan "instead; we're sending you together with Persona to Alice Academy in America.

There, they can handle you without any problems and besides they have the latest Alice technology equipped there. You can go back here after 3 years of training and study. You also have to meet your 5 partners that will accompany you to your future missions, and also you have to leave this week," He explained.

Mikan snapped at his explanation. "Why do I have to leave here? I just come to know that I still have a family left yesterday and now you're telling me to leave without even letting me get to be with them, and leaving all my friends here. No way in hell that I would do that."

"Yeah, why does Mikan- neechan have to leave?" pouted Youichi while tears are forming in his eyes.

"She has to, or else she'll endanger anyone here. If she won't train there to have a better control of her new Alices, she'll end up losing control of it and harming the other students or better yet her closest friends," he explained.

"You have to think about it Mikan. You still have one week to make your decision. No need to rush." Her

Uncle said to her in a very calm, soft voice.

"Yeah, if you decide in the end that you'll go, I still have to come with you." comforted Persona.

"Mikan-neechan, its okay if you agree to that, and I still can contact you through Uncle and I can still call you every day," said Youichi while wiping his tears away trying to hold back crying in front of many people.

"I'll think about it. I'll have to go now, headmaster." She said as she bowed her head goodbye, then she turned to her family. "Bye Oniichan, You-chan, and Uncle Kazu; see you all later." Then, she Teleported herself outside the office and ran finding someone to lend their ear to listen to her story.

First, she searched for her best friend, Hotaru in her laboratory but she was not there. Then she searched for the next person that comes in her mind, Inchou Yuu Tobita, but he was nowhere to find. She next searched for Nonoko Osagawara and Anna Umenomiya, the non- biological twins, but their nowhere to find too and also, her friends, Sumire Shouda, Mochiage, Kitsuneme, and Kokoroyome; but their nowhere. The next, she searched for her sempais, Tsubasa Andou and Misaki Harada, with the same results. Therefore, she searched for Ruka Nogi whom she thought to be the best person she can count on, but she cannot find him either. In the end, she was forced to find the last person that she would ever talk to but love, but that person is the most perverted, cruel and mean person she ever met; Natsume Hyuuga. Nevertheless, the same results result in her search. She was now devastated that she cannot find any other friends, so she decide to walk to their classroom hoping to find them there.

As she approach their classroom, she heard voices whom she knew owned by her friends. When she was about to open the door, she heard Anna's voice. She took a small peek at the small opening of the door and was surprised to see everyone, even her sempais inside the classroom. She eavesdrops at their conversation.

"She's really annoying. Acting all innocent and naïve and always clumsy, even though we all know that she's just acting like that to attract everyone's attention." said the light pink-haired girl. Mikan was shock to hear that coming from Anna whose like an angel and always friendly. She peeks at the door again and eavesdropped a little more even though she was hurt that her friend Anna think that about her.

"Yeah, I agree with you there, Anna," said the blue haired girl named Nonoko, which surprised Mikan that Nonoko think that about her too. "But I personally think that, she's a slut like Luna. Acting goody- goody to make everyone go to her side and trust her. She's despicable." Again, her heart aches to hear those words coming from her friends.

"I think Anna and Nonoko have a point. My judgment about her from the beginning when she first enrolled here still is the same. A slut. Moreover, I hate her having to hog all Natsume- kun and Ruka-kun's attention. I also hate that she's always clingy to them, even I'm not that clingy." exclaimed the green- curly haired girl named Permy (Sumire). Mikan was not that surprised when she heard that from her and she continues to eavesdrop.

"I agree that she's always clingy that she even left her grandfather back in our town, just to follow me all the way here." Mikan was not hurt when she knew she always insults her like that but then the next sentence that came out from her best friend really made her hurt even more. "If she left her grandfather because she finds him annoying and crazy, I might have to agree to that but she left him for no other reason but to follow me. I really think that she should be labeled as a freaking retard, stalker and a dumbass idiot."

Not only she was hurt to hear that from her, but also she was pissed too, because Hotaru did not just insulted her but she also insulted her deceased grandfather. Moreover, that one sentence made her snapped and kicked the door open, only to find them stare at her with disgust, even her Sempais has the same expression plastered on their faces. The expression on their faces made her even angrier and even more hurt because all of them seem to agree on what Hotaru said about her.

"Is that all you think about me? Am I even your friend?" she asked them in a very low, forced voice but clear enough for all of them to hear while tears are trying to fall from her eyes.

"I don't think that Imai- san and the others are just blabbering some random stuff just to piss you off Sakura- san and I agree to their statement about you," stated the blonde- haired boy with aquamarine eyes, Ruka, who is hugging and petting his rabbit's head. She was surprised to hear those words coming from the kindest and nicest pretty boy she has ever met.

"I can't believe all of you. Even you Tsubasa- sempai and Misaki- sempai." Now Mikan cried her heart out.

"Will you shut your trap, bitch? All of them do have a point. I even regret that I said those entire things to you back then. I am even disgusted at myself. Now, will you do us a favor and leave this classroom, but we're even more grateful if you leave this academy, better yet, leave out of our lives," said the person that Mikan loved the most for the first time.

She was even more hurt than ever when she heard that from him than all those words her best friend and closest friends told her, because her one and only beloved black cat told her to leave. She thinks hard for words for a comeback but her mind seemed blank, as she spoke the one sentence that could satisfy her friends. "If you want me to leave, then so be it." With that, she left as tears fell from her eyes.

She ran towards the headmaster's office, which she found the door unlocked and just slammed it open. The people inside surprised at her sudden presence. She found her family still sitting at the visitor's chair except her little brother. Her brother and Uncle's faces had a questioning look maybe because her eyes are swollen and face still wet of tears. She ignored their stares and headed to the headmaster's table and said, "I want you to let me transfer to Alice Academy in America as soon as possible, headmaster. I may even be grateful if you let me go there today."

Her sudden decision made her family surprised and wondered why she suddenly suggests leaving immediately unless something happened.

"Oh, okay Ms. Sakura. You will have your flight at two in the afternoon. Better pack your things now because you only have 2 hours left before your flight and meet your brother at the front gate," said the headmaster, then he saw her nod and teleported to her room, he then turn to Persona, "Persona, get ready and meet her there. My instincts tell me that she will be there in less than one hour. Something happened to her after she got out of here. I think that you should comfort her along the way, and better tell Youichi- kun that she'll leave now." the headmaster stated and Persona just follow him because the headmaster has an Alice of Prediction, so he knew what will happened in the future.

Mikan packed her things leaving nothing except the things that can remind her all about her friends. After she finished packing in less than one hour, she then teleported to the front gate where she saw her little brother weeping, besides her older brother Persona who wore casual clothes.

"I'm sorry, You-chan that I have to leave now but I can't stand being here for any longer. I might have a breakdown after hearing my friends talk about all those things to me, even Hotaru and Natsume." She said as tears trying to fall from her eyes. "They just not insulted me but they even insulted grandpa," now, she was crying, "Natsume even told me to leave the academy and leave their lives as well, so, I'll follow their request." As she wipe her tears away and hug her little brother who is still shock at the sudden revelation that her sister told him about how his Onii- chan (Natsume) told her. "Bye, You-chan. Always try to call me even though I'm far away, okay?" then she entered the black car.

Persona was worried and furious that Natsume and the others treated Mikan as if she was some kind of dog or better yet a toy that when you got tired of playing or using it, you just set it aside like some kind of garbage. He then swore that when he gets back here, he will make sure to make Natsume's life even worse than before. After cursing, he patted his little brother's head as a sign of goodbye then entered the car where he saw Mikan wept silently. Then, after he enters, they left the academy.

END OF FLASHBACK

A tear left her eye as she wipes it away. She looked around her where she finds herself alone because her brother left her side and went to look for a stewardess for her to serve them some food. She commented that Persona is not so bad when you get to know him better. She then remembers Natsume, how he always got so protective to her because of Persona. Then how they always spend time together under their Sakura tree, their first dance together at the Christmas ball and how they always bicker and fight. She again did not notice that she was already shedding some tears. She sang a song which she just composes earlier because she gotten quite emotional and singing eases and calms her.

When There Was Me and You – Vanessa Hudgens in HSM

It' funny when you find yourself

Looking from the outside

I'm sitting (standing) here but all I want

Is to be over there

Why did I left myself believe

Miracles could happen

'Cause now I have to pretend

That I don't really care

I thought you were my fairytale

A dream when I'm not sleeping

A wish upon a star

That's coming true

But everybody else could tell

That I confuse my feelings with the truth

When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody

That I heard you singing

And when you smiled

You made me feel

Like I could sing along

But then you went and changed the words

Now my heart is empty

I'm only left with used- to- be's

And once upon a song

Now I know you're not the fairytale

And dreams were meant for sleeping

And wishes on a star

Just don't come true

'Cause now even I can tell

That I confused my feelings with the truth

Because I like the view

When there was me and you

I can't believe that

I could be so blind

It's like you were floating

While I was falling

And I didn't mind…

'Cause I like the view

Hoo- ho woo-hoo-ho

Thought you felt it too

When there was me and you

As she finished the song, Persona sneaked up on her making her yelp. She was surprised.

"Persona-nii, why did you have to do that? Don't ever sneak up on me again." Mikan whined.

"At first, I don't have the intention to sneak up on you but your voice was very captivating and it complements the song very well and your mood too. Did you compose it yourself?" as he sat beside her.

"Yeah, I had to let out my emotions through singing to make me feel better." Mikan replied.

"That's a really good exercise. Now, then when we arrived at the academy there in America, what are you going to do? Do you want restart as a new person with a whole new identity? Or stay as you are now?" He exclaimed. "But still, our headmaster said that we have to train your Alices for 1 month in there before you get to study with the rest of the students even though you were already enrolled but you're going to start your classes with the rest of these so-called partners of yours."

"I'll consider that suggestion of yours, Persona-nii. America is the land of the free, so, I can change as a whole new different person. Start a new life with a whole new me where people can't underestimate me and played me again like a fool and by doing that will make me at ease with myself." She said as she glance out the window. "Nii-chan, teach me how to make a poker face? Or build a façade where people will perceive me as an unapproachable person? Can you, nii-chan?" She asked Persona while looking serious and determined. Persona just nodded when he saw how serious the girl is with her request. "Now, who are they again? The group who will accompany in my future missions?" asked Mikan curiously.

"Even I don't know them, but I'm sure you're going to meet them as soon as we landed there in America. Because the headmaster said that, they are the ones who will get to escort us to their training facility and train with them too. In addition, I think that your team will be named as MISFIT, shortcut of all the first letters of your first names and I heard that one of them is Japanese," explained Persona.

"Oh, but why does the name sounded like a name for a band? Oh well, I guess I have to be in my best behavior. The last time they'll ever get to see me as the cheerful and bubbly Mikan Sakura," Mikan said as she looked out the window again and saw that they were nearing the airport.

Persona just looked at her and then he felt that they were preparing to land, "We're here." Said Persona, then the voice on the speaker announced in an excited but still formal tone, "WELCOME TO AMERICA."

END OF CHAPTER

Now, then I did say that this chapter has been revised but I guess I changed a lot of things in here. Still, it was the same story line…..

Now then, maybe I've got a few grammatical errors written in here and I should get a beta- reader for all of this but I've got a friend who can proofread all of my stories….

Please review.
