"Mikan. You should start on your project. It's due for Mr. Gaylord tomorrow," Hotaru said monotone.

"I'll do it later. Ruka-pyon said that he'll help me later because it as to do with pheromones. But right now I'm really hungry," Mikan said.

"Let's get some crab brains. Mikan can pay for us," Hotaru said not caring that her friend was paying for about 12 people.

Mikan was promoted to a special star because of her bravery. She had done a whole bunch of missions but none of them were as bad as the ones Natsume went on.

Natsume still went on missions, but Mikan had argued with the school government and they had made the missions a bit easier.

Flashback

"I won't allow this!" Mikan screamed. Natsume watched with fascination.

"You can't send students on dangerous mission and they come back the next day half dead. If you want someone to do a mission, then do them yourself!" Mikan yelled at Persona.

"Natsume is the best of the Dangerous Ability class. Unless you want to do them yourself, then I suggest you to keep quiet," Persona said in his unfazed, cold voice.

"Fine. I will. I'll help Natsume do them so he doesn't come back half dead the next day," Mikan said determined.

"Have fun. Not like your alice can do anything," Persona said.



Mikan knew that her alice wasn't good in anything but protecting herself against an alice so she went over to Hotaru's Lab the next day. She bought a lot of weapons using the money her friends lent her. Of course she had paid them back the day after that, because she was then promoted too special star.

End Flashback

Natsume almost smiled as he thought back. H hasn't been in the hospital for a very long time. Instead, Mikan was getting a couple of cuts here and there. Mikan's grades has been slipping lately, due to the hard work and coming back so late at night. Mikan had to get an alice control device, for her alice was too hard to control now when she was angry.

Mikan yawned constantly throughout the meal. Nonoko and Anna had been able to create a potion that will keep her awake, but it was failing now.

Baka! Baka! Baka!

Hotaru hit her with the Baka Gun Ultimate Waker that wakes up a baka from their sleep. Mikan jerked awake but she slightly drooped.

"Pick up your face. I don't want to see your ugly face in the food. That'll make your face even uglier," Hotaru said.

Mikan picked it up immediately, not wanting to anger her friend. Ruka handed her his bunny to play with. (What's it called?) Mikan pet it slowly, smiling as the bunny pushed its head toward her hand.

"Mikan-chan. Why don't you take a break? You need a break from the work," Anna said who was worried for her friend. Many other heads at the table nodded which included Yuu, Nonoko, Koko, Ruka, Tsubasa, and Misaki.

Mikan almost dropped her chopsticks. "I can't do that!" she shrieked. "How will help Natsume with the missions? It'll be bad if he gets hurt!"

"I'll do them myself," Natsume said. He didn't want her to this because of him. "Or are you trying to call me weak?"

"No one is trying to call you weak," Tsubasa said. "I suppose I can help out if Persona lets."

Tsubasa knew that Persona would let him help out because his alice was really a dangerous ability type AND a special ability. He also didn't want his favorite kuhai to be so tired everyday.

Mikan almost dropped her chopsticks again. "I can't make you do that Tsubasa-senpai. It's my job not yours. I chose to help so I'll help him to the end."

They were amazed by her bravery but Koko said read her mind and said, "It's been really tiring lately and Perona has been giving me harder and harder missions each day. But I must do these. I'm not doing this only for Natsume, but for everyone else. Oji-san, Hotaru, Ruka, Anna, Nono... HEY ARE YOU READING MY MIND?"

You can see a deadly aura around Mikan as she stood up towering over the cowering (Hey, that rhymed) Koko.

"How many times did I tell you to not read my mind? Read my mind one more time and I'll show them this," Mikan said whipping out a piece of paper out of her pocket and showing it to Koko.

Koko blushed bright red and nodded quickly. He scrambled back into his seat at the table.

"What was that? Are you starting to learn how to blackmail from me?" Hotaru said patting Mikan's head somewhat fondly.

"Um… no, I'm just learning of to take of useless people like him," Mikan said jerking her thumb toward Koko.

Koko gulped loudly and tried to secretly walk to the door when Hotaru's baka gun fired toward the door, shutting the door. Koko turned back around grinning slightly. Hotaru aimed the baka gun toward Koko and then his seat.

"Sit," Hotaru said in a sweet deceiving voice. It was the kind of voice that makes you want and have to obey without getting hurt.



Koko sat shaking in his seat. He tried to read Hotaru's mind to see what she was planning, but he couldn't and instead, an alarm went off.

Hotaru aimed her baka gun at Koko. "You tried to read my mind," she said accusingly. "Die."

Hotaru ran after Koko shooting infinite bullets at Koko. He did his best to hide and he ran to the safest spot: behind Natsume.

Natsume burned all the bullets and tried to burn the baka gun.

Hotaru smirked when the baka gun in her hand did not burn. "You can't burn this. It's alice proofed."

Natsume cursed under his breath. Who knew that there were such things that can be alice proofed?

"Um… guys? It's almost time for class," Anna said.

Mikan looked at the clock and her eyes seemed to pop out. "Oh my god," she said as she wolfed down the rest of her breakfast. Hotaru held up a notebook to not get hit by the rest of her breakfast chunks.

In the classroom

Narumi walked (cough danced cough) into the noisy classroom.

"Good morning, everyone! It's nice to see you so happy that we're going to have a new student starting today!" Narumi sang out.

Everyone stopped to listen for a while.

Sumire put her hand up, but didn't bother to wait for Narumi to call on her. "Is the student a boy?" she asked.

"As a matter of fact it is," Narumi said.



KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Someone was knocking on the door. "That must be the new student," Narumi said. Natsume had a sudden urge to roll his eyes and he did. Narumi continued as if he didn't see it. "COME IN," Narumi called loudly to the boy.

And the door slowly creaked open.

A/N: DUN DUN DUN. So who is this boy? Review plz.
