Years Gone By
Hey all! It's been a while, well not really. Simply, love you all.
My mom just got a whole batch of new books, so I have to clean out my bookshelves to make room for it.
Please review and tell me what you think. This story will have three chapters, so wait, kay? Each chapter will be quite short! Don't blame me for this. Don't be shy to ask me a question!
Dedication: To my best friend, Emily. Thank you for cheering on for me and encouraging me. This is for you.
Disclaimer: No, I do not own Gakuen Alice.
/ Chapter 1- All Alone /
It has been two years. Two years since I was completely changed into someone nobody knew, into who I am now-cold, distant, indifferent. It also was two years since he left.
Left me alone.
And nothing, nothing could change me back.

Mikan brushed her long caramel-coloured hair and put on her clean middle-division uniform, efficiently and swiftly. She gave one long stare at her reflection in the mirror. Only grief-stricken amber eyes reflected back.
Shaking her head slightly, she headed out the door. Gone were the bright good mornings, gone were the high ponytails and also the clumsiness. No, little Miss Mikan was now in the DA class, rumoured to be ruthless and terrifying, especially with her collection of copied alices. Her walk to class was prideful, her gaze scanning the corridors of running students who scampered when they say her cold gaze. Opening the door, she stepped in the room. Right on time, as usual.
Friends and classmates quieted down, and the only audible noise was the patter of Mikan Sakura's feet to her seat in the back of the classroom. The brunette rolled her eyes at the uneasy glances towards her and the whispered gossips.
Nothing mattered anymore.
Not after Natsume Hyuuga had left- and forgotten.

Red eyes, those were the first thing any victim would see and remember of the Black Leopard. Swift, cold, ruthless, that was all they knew about him. Never known to give mercy, the "red-eyed demon" worked alone. Raven hair, blood red eyes and mysterious past. Who could solve him? Who could break him? No one.
Or so they thought.
Natsume grimaced in his seat, a manga in his hand. He was born and raised in the AAO, or that's what they told him. He knew it couldn't be true. There were just so many missing links and facts.
"Black Leopard." The boy whipped around to see Reo Mouri, along with his subordinate, Shidou. They were both sneering. Reo continued with an air of pride. "Tomorrow, we go." Natsume knew what he meant. They were attacking and completely bringing down the Alice Academy tomorrow night.
Somehow that thought left him… panicky- it just seemed wrong.
But it had to be done.

Mikan strutted towards the DA class, with Youichi tailing behind. When they entered the room, they hastily, without a word, joined the other students at the round table. Persona, a brotherly figure to Mikan, gave her a nod. The masked man proceeded to continue.
"As you all know, it is rumoured that the AAO will attack us tonight. Train if you must. The Headmaster will be disappointed if we fail. Kill everyone, before they kill you." The meeting dispersed and students scattered. Youichi turned to the brunette. "You training, nee-chan?"
Mikan gave an almost inexistent nod. Those last words were stuck in her mind, repeating and repeating, like a broken cassette. Kill all. Kill all. Before they kill you. What if Natsume was there? Questions were stuck in her mind, but she knew she still had to do the job. Nobody would do it for her.
And once again, she was all alone.
