Hi, minna-san! This is my first fanfic. I thought I had a lot of ideas, but by the time I started writing, I had completely gone brain-dead. I guess you'll just have to bear with this horrible story until my brain starts functioning again! Maybe some sleep would help.. -mutters-
Anyway, do you all mind giving me ideas? Thanks!
Note: The first chapter is completely a flashback, and it goes in to the second chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice. Never have, never will. Kind of sad..
Summary: Mikan Sakura is a girl who was abandoned by her mother when she was seven years old. Now, after five years have past, she attends a school called Gakuen Alice, or Alice Academy. She's even colder than her best friend Hotaru, the so called Ice Queen, and everyone has learned to stay away from her. She doesn't talk to anyone unless there's a need for it, with the exception of Hotaru. No one knows what she's really feeling behind those cold brown eyes of hers, and no one understands why she's so cold to begin with. Hotaru knows. She's always known. Mikan has a deep hatred for her mother, and she's sheltering herself from others because of it. She's been trained by a man named Persona to take out the Anti-Alice Organization, also known as AAO, which her mother has joined. As Mikan fights, filled with hatred and pain, she starts to make friends and meets a certain Kuro Neko named Natsume Hyuuga. Will she be able to get revenge against her mother, and finally be able to trust others again? Or will she give up her revenge for the sake of her friends?

Flashback
"Okaa-san, where's Otou-san?" A little girl asked. She was a small child with innocent, smiling eyes and golden brown hair.
An older auburn-haired woman looked up at the sound of her child's voice. The child was standing at the top of the stairs. She noted the look of worry on the young girl's face. "I'm sorry, Mikan.. Daddy's dead." she said gently, with sadness in her eyes.
Mikan didn't exactly know what being "dead" meant, but she did know one thing. It meant that her father would never come back to her again. He was gone, forever. As she realized this, her eyes slowly widened in shock and sadness.
"D-dead? So.. otou-san isn't coming back anymore? It's only okaa-san and I?" Mikan whispered, teary-eyed.
Her mother, Yuka, nodded silently, her own tears sliding down her cheeks. She breathed a calming breath as she slipped up the stairs and hugged the child tightly. The time had come, and she knew it. She had to join the Anti-Alice Organization, and have her revenge on her husband's murderers. Yes, she knew who had done it, and just the thought of the two people made her shake with fury. Her own brother, Kaitou Azumi, and her husband's sister, Furiko Sakura were the culprits.
"I-itai.. okaa-san, you're squeezing me too hard.." Mikan whimpered.
Yuka let go of her child with a look of surprise and worry, and said in a soothing voice, "I'm sorry, Mikan.. are you okay? Did I hurt you badly?" She silently cursed herself as she soothed Mikan.
"Mmm.. I'm fine, okaa-san.. Ne, okaa-san.." Mikan murmered.
"Yes, Mikan..?"
"..."
"...I love you."
Yuka was so surprised, she hugged Mikan again as she laughed quietly. "I love you too, my child." She murmered back.

A year had passed, and it was winter. Snow was piled on the window, and the world was white beyond the front door of the Sakura mansion. No animals could be found anywhere, and all was strangely silent. All that could be heard was the sound of the wind, and a strange tension was in the air. Mikan Sakura, now 7 years old, was sitting quietly at her piano, playing a soft melody that echoed quietly throughout the silent house.
"Mikan, I'll be back later. Stay in the house and be a good girl, okay?" Yuka ordered as she walked towards the door.
"Hn. Be safe, okaa-san. Come back soon." was Mikan's reply. She had grown a bit distant ever since her father was murdered a year ago. Not that she knew he had been murdered, of course.
Yuka briefly smiled as she walked out the door. The smile swiftly disappeared as she neared the street corner and teleported. Yuka owned the Stealing Alice, which enabled her to steal the alice of others.
'Mikan is nearing the time when her alices will awaken.. both her nullification, and her stealing alice.. I should act quickly, before that time comes. She can't be pulled in to this war. The war between the Academy and those who wish to destroy it, the Anti-Alice Organization. In the worst case, I'll have to abandon Mikan, for her own safety.. even if.. she hates me for it.' Yuka thought, opening her eyes to see a hidden meeting place.
"Welcome, Azumi Yuka. I see you've finally decided to go with our plan? You were so hesitant before, I wonder why.." the voice drifted off, as if realizing it had said too much.
As the voice drifted off, Yuka turned around at the sound of footsteps coming near. A tall man who looked to be in his mid-twenties appeared out of the shadows, smiling at her. He had dark brown hair and hypnotizing eyes. He was Moori Reo.
"Hello.. Reo. Yes, I will go through with the plan. The Academy will fall. I won't stand for their actions anymore." Yuka replied, a cold edge to her voice.
"Hmm.. I see. I'm so glad to hear that." Reo said, as he smiled at her again.

"Okaa-san hasn't come back yet.. it's already 11:00.. I wonder where she went.." A worried Mikan wondered as she walked quietly through the large mansion. It's not like she didn't like big houses, but being alone in this house scared her. All of the maids were already sleeping, as Mikan had asked them politely to let her care for herself tonight.
Her footsteps echoed around her as she slipped through hallway after hallway, finally ending up in the lounge area.
Spotting the large sofas, she quickly ran over and jumped on to one. It was soft and felt like silk. She soon fell asleep, not to wake until many hours later because of her hunger.

Fires were burning, while lightning split trees in half and left crators in the ground. The earth shook as teachers and students ran everywhere in a panic, making them all lose their balance. Men in suits and armed with guns and alices stormed all over, some using the alice of teleportation to kidnap the students. The AAO was attacking the Academy, and they had a secret weapon: Yuka.

"Mmm... yawns" Mikan sat up and groaned. It was late afternoon of the next day. She had slept through almost a whole day! She groaned again as her stomach twisted in pain. She hadn't eaten anything since last night, and she was hungry. Slowly getting up, she realized that she didn't know how to cook.
'Uh-oh.. this could be bad.. all of the maids went on vacation..' She thought to herself. She had convinced the maids to go and see their families while her mother was away, after letting them know she could, and would, take care of herself. She felt so stupid now.
•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•
The AAO had been fighting against the Academy all through the night and the next day, and both forces were worn out. Only Yuka still stood strong, barely breathing hard but still injured from the battle.
'Mikan.. Mikan.. don't worry.. I won't let you come to this Academy.. never.. you'll never go through the same pain that I did..' Yuka thought, as she fiercely beat through the Academy's forces.
It was surprising that the Academy could last this long, with only the teachers and the members of the Dangerous Ability class fighting. But she knew it was coming to an end. And what was even more shocking was the fact that the Academy was winning.
