Chapter 1: A Fragment of Mikan's Memory and Miaka's Arrival
~Inside Gakuen Alice~
Saturday, around 3:30 pm
It was a fine and cloudy Saturday afternoon; students of the Gakuen are roaming around, mostly in Central Town with some of their friends or love ones, some stayed in their dorms and some just hangout somewhere near the Gakuen. Somewhere, under the shade of a CERTAiN Sakura tree, the well-known and famous couple are resting and enjoying their moment together. "Hmmm… uhm… hey Nat?" a brunette haired girl with angelic hazel eyes called out.
"Yeah?" Nat, a raven haired boy with tantalizing crimson eyes answered indicating that he was listening.
"Do you think it'll rain?" she asked.
"Huh?" he blurted out, then looked up the sky and observed for a moment, "hmm… Think not."
"Well, okay then!" she exclaimed, smiling.
Brief silence…
"What's wrong?" he asked, breaking the silence, staring at her.
"Huh? Nothing's wrong. Why'd ya asked?"
"Well… You've been spacing out a lot lately. What were you thinking these past few days?"
"R..re..real..ly? Um… We..well… I ac..tua..al..ly d..did..dn't n..noti..tice." She stuttered, smiling nervously.
"Hey! Calm down… Mii, why are you stuttering? Are hiding something from me?"
"What? No, I am not! You must be imagining things Dii…"
"Okay, hey! Calm down would ya?" he started, "Wait a minute… I know you a lot now Mikan and you know that! I am your BOYFRiENDfor what? 4 yearsalready! Few days from now, it'll be our 5th anniversarytogether." He added, "Being with you for a long time, it's really impossible that I still don't know you, inside and out." He finished, as she blushed as he said the BOYFRiEND, 4 years and 5th anniversary then stared at him.
"FiNE… But it's really nothing, Natsume…" she said, but Natsume being stubborn still wants to know what's bothering his girlfriend. So, Mikan continued, "It's just that there's this dream that keeps appearing every night, like it's haunting me!"
"Then, has this dream been haunting you for how long? Is it a nightmare?"
"Uhm, for a week already?" his eyes widen a bit, "Actually it's not a nightmare. More like a forgotten memory." she stated.
"For that long and you still didn't told me?"
"Sorry Dii. But I don't wanna trouble you, ya know." She explained.
"Okay Mii, I forgive you this time BUT next time, you must tell me, alright?"
"Sure, okay."
"So, a fragment of your memory huh?"
"Yeah, seems like when I was 5."
"Really? And it's been repeating for a week's time?"
"Yeah! What do you think it means?"
"Well, I don't actually know… Maybe it's a sign that something will happen."
"You think so?" she asked, "now that I have remembered, I wonder if they are alright… How could I have forgotten them? My Sweet Mia, I'm sorry that I had forgotten about you!" she thought.
"Yup. So can you tell me about this dream or memory of yours?"
"I can only tell you is that, I was in a small garden and there was this girl with chocolate brown hair around the same age as me with a woman in her late 20's or early 30's, both are smiling at me."
"Didn't they say anything?"
"They did. But I can't hear them even though their lips are moving like they're talking to me."
"…" Natsume fell silent, as Mikan recalled her precious memory.
~Mikan's memory/dream~
"Mommy? Mia? Are you here?" a little brunette girl called out,
as she entered the living room, "Where are you?" she called,
as her tears are threatening to fall.
"HERE!" another little girl shouted, "in the MiMi Garden!"
(MiMi stands for Mikan-Miaka)
The brunette quickly went to the small garden. As she finally
arrived the garden, "so? How's your nap, baby?" a women in her
late 20s or early 30s said. "It was very refreshing mommy!"
the brunette exclaimed. "Wow! Mika-chii sleeps like pig! Such
a heavy sleeper!" the girl beamed. "Mou! Mia, you're so mean!"
Mika complained, Mia just giggle then laughed as Mika started
Laughed along.
~End of the memory/dream~
"Do you think it'll be something bad?"
"Huh?"
"You know, the something will happen?"
"What do YOU think?"
"Well, I feel it's not a bad thing."
"Then it's not if you believe it's not."
"Okay then..."
There was a quiet moment for a while, "Mii, what time is it already? It's getting a little dark." Natsume stated.
"Huh? Oh. It's already a… … … quarter to 6." Mikan answered.
"Oh okay."
10…
9…
8…
7…

"Now that's a MiRALCE!" Natsume exclaimed.
"What?"
"Duh! Quarter to 6? Still not hungry?"
"Oh. Now that you've mentioned it… I do feel hungry, LET'S GO!" she beamed while Natsume just chuckled. Then the two of them are now heading towards the canteen.
~Outside the Gakuen Alice~
Saturday, around 2:00 pm
"WOW! It's a fine da-, ah scratch that, fine afternoon, don't you think so mom?" a chocolate brown haired girl with innocent hazel eyes, exclaimed. Her mother laughed at her energetic daughter, when suddenly she stopped and stared at the gate on her right that has a big 'A' in the center of a big 'star' located in the middle of the gate. After awhile the girl noticed her mother stopped, "Mom? Are you alright? Why'd you stop?" she asked, worry is evident in her face and voice.
"…"
"Mom? Hey!" she called, waving her hands in front her mother's face.
"…"
"Earth to MOM! Hey, are you there?" she shouted, now waving her hands wildly.
"Huh?" she stated as she snapped back from her trance and faced her daughter, "Yes sweetie?"
"I was calling you THREE TiMES already! You were spacing out like you're not in this world! AND you were staring at the GA (Gakuen Alice), ya know?"
"Oh? Really?" she asked and the girl nodded, "I'm really sorry Miaka, sweetie. It's just that I really miss your twin sister." She apologically explained while tears are threatening to fall.
"Oh. Don't worry mom! I'm sure Mika-chii is alright, she's really strong you know." Miaka comforted her.
"But she's too young to enter THAT Gakuen." She shouted, pointing at the gate accusingly, "What if they made her do things she doesn't like to do? Oh! How I miss my dear Mika! It's been 5 years!"
"Actually mom, its 6 years."
"See? If only I could break in and get her out of that hellhole, then—"
"You know you mustn't mom!" she scolded, "We left her with grampa 10 years ago, she went in there on her own will!"
"Why was it again?"
"She followed her bestfriend…"
"And, when did they first meet again?"
"About 8 years ago, I think."
"…"
"STOP WORRYiNG, will ya? If you won't stop then I'll find a way to get enrolled in THERE…"she said, pointing at GA, "follow Mika-chii and stay with her!"
"You can't! You mustn't!" she shouted, sobbing. They fell silent for a moment and stared at each other when two figures immerged from the shadows; Miaka noticed this and hid behind her mother's back, thus wasn't seen by the figures.
"What's with all the commotion out here?" a cheery voice spoke, "You can be heard inside, ya know? Disturbing the peaceful afternoon!" the other hissed coldly, smirking.
"Oh. We're really sorry, we didn't know…" she immediately bows her head, "I was having an argument with my daughter." When she raised her head, "we're definitely sorry for- the- dis-tur-ban-ce…" she finished dumbfounded when she has realized who the figures are.
"Huh? Yuka-sempai?" the cheery voice exclaimed, "How are you?" he said, as Yuka gasped, "Na..Naru?" she asked. "Hai, hai!" he said as Yuka faced the other figure, "Re..Rei?"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" the cold voice snapped, "I'm not the Rei you have known before…" he muttered, still audible that they can hear.
"That's right sempai, he is now Persona… He's also the teacher of the DA class now…" Naru beamed. Yuka was shocked by this, wait no, shock is an understatement. She is beyond shock because she can't believe that the sweet and innocent Rei she have known for so long has change into a cold and scary Persona. "NAAAAANiiiii? (WHAAAAAT?)" She asked, more like shouted disbelievingly.
"Yes sempai. (To his companion) By the way, Persona-sensei?" Naru called out, "What do you want?" Persona replied coldly. "You know? You're being such a meanie right now with sempai…" he stated giddily.
"SHUT UP NARU! I'm always been like this!" he shouted.
"No you're not! Wait 'til she hears this…" Naru said threateningly.
"You're not telling anyone especially her anything! Not even a damn little thing! Don't you dare tell her NARU!" Persona threatened, "Okay, okay! Just kidding, ya know!" Naru immediately replied, as shivers ran down his back.
"Mommy? Who are they? They look really weird, not to mention scary!"Miaka whispered, unfortunately or fortunately, Naru heard her. He whipped his head to the source of the voice, once he finally found her hiding behind Yuka, "Mikan?" he muttered softly, luckily only Persona heard him.
"NANI? NARU STOP JOKING ALREADY! IT'S REALLY NOT FUNNY!" Persona burst nervously, ruining his cold façade.
"They are my kohais when I was in high school, sweetie…"Yuka whispered back, "What happened Rei? Why are you shouting?"
"Huh? Oh. Nothing." He answered looking around them, restoring his cold façade.
"Are you sure? You looked nervous." Yuka stated.
"Really!" he shot sarcastically, "I'm actually really fi-" he said but cut off when he finally noticed the girl behind Yuka, staring dumbfounded.
"Rei? Rei? What happened now?" Yuka asked again, concerned.
"Huh? Who's that?" Persona asked pointing to the girl at her back, ignoring her question.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I haven't introduced you to each other yet." Yuka said, taking a step to her left, revealing the girl fully now, "Now sweetie? Kindly introduce yourself." Yuka told her.
"Hai mommy! (Towards Naru and Persona) Konnichiwa! I'm Azumi Miaka, Yoroshiku!" she started shyly.
"Hello my dear. I'm Anjo Narumi. One of the teachers of Gakuen Alice and your mother's kohai." Naru said.
"Ah, and I'm Persona." Persona stated.
"Konnichiwa Naru-sensei, Persona-sensei!" she said smiling her bright smile.
"Whoa! She looks exactly like her! They even have the same smile!" both thought.
They were talking when all of the sudden Miaka was sweating hard and was clutching her chest, concentrating. Naru noticed this and asked, "Are you alright Miaka-chan?"
Naru's question made Persona and Yuka look at her that also made Miaka snapped back to reality. "MOM! They're coming and are getting closer!" she shouted.
"Nani?" Naru asked, "Who?" Persona added.
"NO TiME! Please grab hold on mom and hold on tight!" Miaka told them, they did as they were told hearing the urgency in her voice. Yuka used her Teleportation Alice and have teleported to somewhere safe.
Exactly when they have arrived and were far from the Gakuen, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? CARE TO EXPLAiN?" Persona burst, confusion and annoyance are evident on his face and voice.
"Well….. AAO (Anti Alice Organization) still after me." Yuka answered casually.
"NANi?" Naru half-shouted and half-panicked.
"What about her?" Persona asked now calm, pointing to Miaka.
"Yes, and because Miaka is with me, they're also targeting her to get me." She again answered.
"How did she know they were coming?" Persona asked.
"Hmmm... Well..." Miaka started, looking at her mother. Yuka just nodded in approval, "The wind. I could feel the wind saying there's danger." She explained.
"That means she's an ALiCE?" Naru wondered, as Yuka only nodded.
"If its wind? That means her Alice is wind?" Persona asked again as Yuka shook her head.
"Elemental Alice?" Naru's turn to ask, Yuka nodded AGAiN.
"Her own alice, right? Not one of those Alice stones being inserted?" Persona asks again. Yuka nodded her head again.
"Okay sempai we get it but ya know? It's really annoying and irritating if you only shook and nod to answer..." Naru stated, "ah, gomen Naru.." Yuka muttered. "So? Miaka-chan? Is Elemental Alice is your only Alice?" he asked, Miaka merely shook, "You have another one?" he again asked, she just nod. "Should've known, like mother like daughter." He thought but then shrugged it, "What do you say if you get enrolled in Gakuen Alice?" he asked. Upon hearing his proposal, Miaka's eyes sparkled while Yuka's was blank. "YES!/NO!" Miaka/Yuka said at once. "What? Why mom?" Miaka asked, "What? You got to be kidding me! No, you're not going young lady!" Yuka stated strictly, that made Miaka near to tears.
"Why? Why wouldn't you let me? It's my chance to be with her again despite knowing that I have to leave you! You know more than anyone that how much I miss her is beyond how YOU missed her!" She cried and ran away.
"Wait! Miaka-chan?" Naru called out but she was gone already, "Sempai! I proposed the enrollment so that she'll be SAFE! Away from the AAO!" Naru scolded Yuka while Persona went looking for Miaka.
"NO WAY! YOU'LL MAKE HER DO MISSIONS and DIRTY WORKS FOR THAT GAKUEN? NEVER!" Yuka shouted angry.
"BUT it's for her SAFETY! I'll take care of her personally." Naru told her emphasizing the word SAFETY.
~Meanwhile, to where Miaka is~
"Argh! Why doesn't she understand me?" Miaka cried.
"I know I'm gonna miss her BUT I miss Mi-chii a lot more! It's been 10 DAMN WHOLE YEARS already! Still we haven't seen each other!" she screamed, "Ya know? It's bad for young girls to walk alone." A stern cold voice spoke, she yelps scared. "What the? Persona-sensei! Don't scare me like that!"
"Yeah! Yeah!" he said sarcastically, "Let's go back now; I know Yuka and Naru's worried like damn already." He added.
"okay." She said as they walked back to where the two were.
After awhile, "MiAKA-CHAN!" Naru called, Miaka sweat dropped at this.
"Yes Naru-sensei?"
"I have finally persuaded your mother to let you get enrolled in GA." He informed her, giggling.
"Yuck! What on earth is he? Gay?" she thought, "Really?" she beamed, forgetting what she thought of him earlier.
"Yes sweetie. Only if you promise once you've found her, stay with her always and stay healthy and safe." Yuka told her. "Yes, of course!" she answered.
"Now that's settled, let's go back to the Gakuen coz' it's already 5:30." Persona said.
"Sure, why not?" Naru said, "Stay in my house for the night, tomorrow we'll go to the headmaster to get you enrolled, okay?" he asked Miaka. "Where will I sleep tomorrow night? When will I start attending classes?" she asked.
"By tomorrow night, you'll have your own dorm. You start attending classes on the day after tomorrow." Naru answered, smiling.
"Then I'll teleport you outside the gate then?" Yuka proposed, without waiting for their reply, she already teleported all of them outside the gates. "Well now, take care always, okay? I love you always sweetie and send my love and greetings to my dearest." She bid Miaka her goodbye and gave her hugs and kisses then slowly vanished into thin air.
++Miaka's POV++
After mom gave me her hugs and kisses then slowly disappearing, I muttered, "Forever and always. Always take care too. I'm gonna miss you. I'll tell nee-chan, don't ya worry.. Please stay safe, mommy.." as a tear slowly cascade down my cheek. "Hmm.. It's quarter to 6, now let's get going, so that you can rest for now.." I heard Naru-sensei told me. "Okay, Naru-sensei!" I beamed thinking that I can finally see her again. Finally after all these years apart from each other, at long last! I'll finally see my dear twin sister!
++Persona's POV++
"Hmm.. It's quarter to 6, now let's get going, so that you can rest for now.." I heard Naru told that Miaka girl. "Okay, Naru-sensei!" That Miaka beamed. Wonder what her relationship with Bloody Sweetheart is. They really look the same especially that bright smile. Anyway better get going too. Well, I was about to go when I heard her say, "Uhm, ano… Persona-sensei? Where are you going?" sigh, really this girl… Uhg! Never mind, "Work." I bluntly answered, slowly starting to walk away. "Are you just going to go without even saying goodbye or good night?" she asked again.
++Narumi's POV++
WOW! I was surprised that Miaka-chan noticed Persona is going to leave without us knowing but what surprised me more is that she asked him where he is going. There was a moment of silence, "Work." he bluntly answered then slowly starting to walk away. Now I didn't expect to hear that.
"Are you just going to go without even saying goodbye or good night?" she asked again. Wow! I mean as in W-O-W! She is so damn straightforward. I chuckled when she asked that, though silently and lucky me that no one heard that, they seem too busy to notice my chuckle.
++Miaka's POV++
"Are you just going to go without even saying goodbye or good night?"I asked, suddenly Naru-sensei chuckled. Wonder why? Oh well, never mind that, there was a moment of silence, me waiting for his answer. To my surprise he just walks away. "HEY!" I shouted but was silenced when I heard him say, "Oyasumi." Boredly and disappeared into the forest. Now that I have mentioned forest, we were already inside the Gakuen. As I look around, I was really amazed at how huge GA is.
++Narumi's POV++
Well, Persona's gone back to his work. And as we walked towards my house, I noticed that Miaka's really silent. I turned only to see amusement and excitement written all over her face. Oh my, she has the same reaction and expression with Mikan-chan. Wonder if they are related?
++Normal POV++
After sometime, Naru and Miaka has finally arrived Naru's house. "Come in Miaka-chan… Please feel at home, okay?" Naru said and Miaka merely nodded.
Finally Naru opened the door and went in with Miaka trailing behind him. Naru toured her around his house, then as they stopped in front of one room. "This will be your room for tonight. This was once used by a dear student of mine." He informed her. "So, this student of his is a girl huh?" she thought, "Don't you think she'll get mad? Me using her room? Coz' from the looks of it, she uses this room frequently." She stated. "Oh. So you've noticed that my student is a girl? You have a wonderful observation Miaka-chan." He said, "Exactly like her, has high observation." He added mentally. "Thanks, I think. Back to my question, don't you think she'll get mad?" she said.
"No, no Sweet Mia.. She definitely won't get mad. She's a very kind and friendly girl. And yes, she actually uses this room only when she doesn't feel comfortable in her own." he replied, "Don't you feel hungry? It's already past the hour of 6…" he stated looking at his watch, "…wait here while I'll make dinner." He added.
But before he could walk away, "Uhm, sensei?" she called, "Yeah?" he answered facing her.
"Just one favor?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Please don't call me Sweet Mia coz' only my sister can call me that, even mom can't call me that. That's why she sticks to sweetie which is close to Sweet Mia.. My sister and I have a powerful bond that can't be broken, that's why incase you'll ask." She informed him bowing her head a little causing her bangs to cover her face.
"Oh? Really? Okay Miaka-chan, I'm really sorry. I didn't know, I just felt calling you that coz' you're so sweet and Mia seems like a shorter version of your name.." he reasoned.
"Its okay sensei, after all you didn't know." Miaka said smiling, "You even have the same reason as hers." She thought.
"Okay, I'll go make dinner now." He informed her. By the time he was nowhere to be seen, Miaka's tummy growled, "Oh my, well.. Naru-sensei is right though.. I do feel hungry.. I'll just forget what he just said.." she told herself as she went downstairs to help Narumi. Just one corner then she'll already be in the middle of the living and dining areas.
When she was already near the corner, she heard Naru talked with someone even though she can only hear Naru's voice, "Maybe whoever Naru's talking to is outside of the front door that's why I can't hear him or her."she concluded which was right.
"What? These are for her? … Okay, I'll just give them to her. Don't you wanna stay for awhile? … Oh, so you're in a hurry? Well, OKAY THEN! Take care always!" Naru conversed happily with someone.
Miaka now took a small peek around the corner and saw Naru by the front door waving goodbye to the one he was talking to like crazy with a medium sized travelling bag. "Uhm, ano~?" she spoke. Naru heard her, he turned to face her as she continued, "What's that?" curiosity was evident in her voice.
"Oh my! Miaka-chan! You just missed her! She dropped this by." Naru said, pointing to the travelling bag as he said this. "What do you mean? Who owns that, by the way?" she asked again.
"It's your clothes my darling, And-" he said pulling another bag, as a matter of fact it's a suitcase, inside, "This case are your most precious things she said." He finished.
"Oh! Now I know it was mom who came by, just to drop my belongings here since the enrollment was all of a sudden." She thought, "oh okay! Mom is really thoughtful!" She said then giggled.
"Anyway, let's eat? I just finished making dinner when your mother suddenly arrived." Naru informed, "Sure!" was all her answer.
And they went to the dining area to eat. After they have eaten, Naru brought Miaka's belongings to the room while Miaka was the one washing the plates. After all was done they each took a bath in their rooms then went to a sweet slumber.
