Okay! here it goes, This story is based on three things. Gakuen alice (duh :P) And two dreams I had. I'm planning on making it a very long story if people enjoy it. so please review!

As a child, nothing made me happier than the story of Peter pan, the boy who would never grow up. I would beg my mom every night to tell me the story, even though I had It memorized, stories are just so much more magical when your parents tell it to you. She would tuck me in, and open the window, so Peter could hear the story. I never once dreamt of a Prince charming, Always of peter pan coming to whisk me away to a world of magic. But I had to forget my dream of never growing up, because I had to grow up. Much too early for my liking.

One morning, I woke and found the window shut, and I immediately knew something was terribly wrong. I ran downstairs to question my mother, but she was not there. She was not anywhere. She left me, a girl of ten, alone.

Many years later...

I leaned casually up against the wall of the market, pretending to listen to my non-existent IPod. As the shopkeeper turned around, I carefully walked behind him, trying to look as normal as possible, as I shovelled food into my shoulder bag. Bread, cheese, fruit, and to top it all off, two bottles of water. It was too easy these days to steal food. But it was irritating to have to change markets every once in a while, so they wouldn't suspect me of anything. I was very used to a life of crime, As it was how I had lived for the past 5 years. I had managed to stay in my childhood home, but I could not afford the luxuries of electricity or schooling. I learned all I would ever need from library books. I was my own teacher, and I considered myself a very good teacher. While the other children learned algebra and the history of somewhere I could care less about, I learned how to get by in the real world. Which in my opinion makes me very smart.

I suppose I should have left that old house, but I just couldn't bring myself to. I kept on telling myself that she would come back one day, and she would make everything better. I knew it wouldn't happen, but I was good at lying, Even if it was to myself. I had managed to keep the house looking like all the other houses on the street, but I still don't think that stopped the neighbour's suspicion. I had to lie to them constantly, telling them that my mother was bedridden, but she was still taking good care of me. They bought the story like it was on sale.

I walked through the streets back to my home. Not caring about the looks I got from the street creepers. They could try and grab me, if they felt like never seeing the light of day again. A blonde man had the guts to bump shoulders with me though. I almost stopped to tell him off, but I didn't have time to hang around town today. I was very busy. I ran straight across my lawn, and fumbled to find my keys amongst all of the groceries. I hung up my hoodie at the front door, and skipped through the house. I emptied the bag of food on the table, and scurried up the stairs to read. Since I had to learn everything from books, I had quite a lot of them. They covered all the old furniture in my room. An old white dresser, a bed that was much too small for me, an old side table, and the old rocking chair that sat by the window. I looked fondly at the rocking chair. There was only one book that was ever on it. The book I couldn't read. If I read it myself, it wouldn't have any magic left in it. My old, worn copy of Peter Pan and Wendy.

I shoved a mound of books and clothes off of my bed, and lit a candle on my bedside table. I began to read. The Fairy Caravan, another one of my favourites. I was only to the bit about Tuppeney's hair growing wildly, when my eyes began to droop. I put down the old book, and without bothering to change, I fell asleep.

If there was one mistake Mikan had made, It was growing up. When you grow up, you stop believing in fairy tales. You lose all of the dreams you once had, and you start locking the window at night. When Mikan locked that window for the first time, She lost all hope that Peter pan would come take her to Neverland. Which was stupid really, Because If he wanted it, Nothing could ever stop Peter Pan from getting his way. Though this story isn't about Peter. Peter was probably Off in Neverland. This story is about Mikan, And the three young men Currently sitting in her back yard, trying to figure out the best way to break in.

They sat lurking in the shadows behind her house, they wore all black. You could be standing right in front of them, and not even notice them. Unless you were a cat, But then again, if you were a cat, you wouldn't be reading this story now would you? They all murmured to each other, in debate over the best way to get her out of the house quickly and quietly.

"I've got it!" whispered one happily, "We sneak in through her window, Chloroform her, And drag her out!"

Another shook their head.

"And how do you say we get up to her window? Using your Spidey powers?" Said another sarcastically.

"Oh right..." said the first one disappointedly, "Well, Why don't we knock on her door, and shout "Pizza delivery!""

"Well," said the second "First, BECAUSE she probably didn't ORDER pizza, Second, BECAUSE IT'S THREE IN THE MORNING."

"Alright let's hear one of your Ideas then!" Said the First, who at this point was feeling rather annoyed.

Before the first could voice his idea, they heard a faint click. They both turned to see their colleague pulling open the back door.

"Or, we could just use the door?" said the third smugly.

The first fumed

"Who leaves their back door unlocked?" he muttered darkly.

The boys quietly shuffled into the dark kitchen. They quickly switched on their flashlights, and manoeuvred their way to the stairs. The third teen signalled for the first to stay at the bottom of the stairs. He nodded and crouched down around the corner. They continued up the stairs, and found their way to the bedroom, Second window from the right. The door was open a crack, and a dim light poured into the hall. They peered in, and saw a girl, asleep in her clothes on a child's bed.

"This is the girl Narumi wants right?" the third teen whispered to the second.

"She matches the description he gave. How are we getting her out? Brute force, or chloroform?" the second asked.

That question was answered when the Third teen charged into the girl's room, and grabbed her around the waist, throwing her over his shoulder. The second teen rushed up to help. He gagged the girl as her eyes shot open, to keep her from waking the neighbours. The girl immediately began to struggle. They ran with Mikan down the stairs, and hastily unlocked the front door. An ominous black van was parked in front of her house. One of the teens ran in front, and opened up the door. They hopped in with Mikan, and slid the door shut. They strapped themselves in, and hit the gas, and drove out of there as fast as possible.

I had no Idea what the Hell was going on. One minute, I was peacefully sleeping. The next, I'm thrown over someone's shoulder, gagged, and tossed into a creepy black van. Why do I get the feeling this just wasn't going to be my day? I struggled hard as they strapped a seatbelt around me. Whoever these guys were, they weren't kidnapping me without a fight. I kicked out hard, and managed to him the guy in front of me in the face. A satisfying crunch sounded and I grinned to myself. The guy fell to the ground holding his nose. Serves him right. Fluorescent lights suddenly lit up the van. I looked around me. The front of the van was blocked off by tinted glass. The back was mostly empty, except for three seats lining one wall. Two Guys dressed in black leaned over the guy I had just kicked.

"goddammit!" one of them swore. "Koko, Get the medical Kit from under the seat! I think she broke his nose!"

The boy called Koko looked over at the seat. If he came near me, He was going to end up like his friend on the floor. I saw fear in his eyes. I grinned at him darkly and glared him down. I saw fear in his eyes. Behind that ski mask, I bet his face was contorted with fear.

"Why don't you do it?" he asked the other nervously

"KOKO JUST DO IT!" the other shouted at him angrily. He turned back to the Guy who now had blood visibly running onto the floor.

The boy named Koko gulped and looked over at me.

"Listen, Mikan." He said shakily.

I was shocked. How did he know my name? How the HELL did he know my name?

"We aren't going to hurt you. I'm going to un-gag you, but I need to grab the Medical kit from under your seat. Deal?"

I thought about it for a second. I didn't want to be responsible for a guy bleeding to death, and I also wanted to give these guys a piece of my mind. I nodded my head, and slumped back in my seat.

Koko sighed and inched towards me, before lunging down and grabbing the Medical kit. He then jumped away from me. I raised a questioning eyebrow at him as he covered his face for protection. He sat still for a second, before moving his hands. He looked at me, and I was sure that if he didn't have that mask on, He would look pretty embarrassed.

He handed the Medical kit to the other boy, and walked over to Un-gag me. As soon as the gag was off, I did what naturally came to me. I kicked him in the Shins as hard as I could, and started to swear like an Irish man. Koko Winced but held his ground.

"Take off that stupid mask." I spat at him. He shrugged and immediately pulled it off.

I sat there feeling rather shocked. Koko couldn't be more than sixteen, and had sandy hair, brown eyes, and a mocking mouth. He smiled at me warmly, and I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Nice kick!" He laughed. I suddenly felt no hostility towards him. He sat down next to me, and happily smiled.

I sat there awkwardly for a few seconds. I felt really bad for kicking him now. A kick like that was sure to leave a bruise.

"Listen, I'm really sorry that we had to Kidnap you!" He said sincerely "We couldn't think of any other way of making you come with us!"

"Come with you where?" I asked angrily

"You're an Orphan." He stated. Yet again, I was shocked.

"How...How do you know that?" I sputtered.

He just laughed.

"You wouldn't be with us in this car if you weren't!"

I gave him a confused look.

"We're all orphans. And we all live together. We have everything we need, and enough money to buy out a small company." He stated bluntly.

I looked over at the other guys. Now I felt REALLY bad. They had both taken off their masks, and one of them was wiping the blood off his face. He had beautiful blonde hair, and big blue eyes that went on forever. The second was his opposite. Raven black hair, and Red angry eyes that looked Icy, but hot at the same time. They both looked no older than sixteen.

I suddenly unclipped my seatbelt. I don't know why I didn't before. I shuffled over to the blonde guy and knelt down next to him. He looked up at me in fear. The look of fear on his child like eyes made me want to hug him, but luckily, I have a lot of self control. I grabbed onto his chin and he winced. I carefully prodded at his nose, sighing with relief when I realized I hadn't broken it. I searched through the medical kit, till I found some tissue. I handed him the pack. He nodded in thanks as he blotted the blood up from his face. The Crimson eyed boy went and sat where I had previously, and Shut his eyes. Koko was grinning stupidly to himself. I don't know why, But I went from hating these guys with every fibre of my being, to liking them, in under five minutes.

"I suppose we should introduce ourselves." Sighed Koko, "I'm Kokoro Yome!"

I smiled at him, He seemed likable enough. He elbowed the boy next to him.

"Natsume." He said without opening his eyes. I looked at Natsume. He was pretty good looking, But he didn't seem all that friendly.

"Ruka Nogi, I'm pleased to meet you." I turned to the blonde boy. He was smiling shyly at me, Even though I had just injured him. Must...Not...Hug!

"Mikan, Mikan Sakura!" I said with a smile.

"We know that stupid." Said Natsume Icily.

I fumed, Every time this guy opened his mouth, it made me annoyed.

"How do you know my name?" I asked angrily.

Koko just smiled at me. I immediately got control of my temper.

"We had to do A bit of research on you before we could find you." He said as if it was the most normal thing ever, "We only knew what you looked like, so it was a bit of a chore."

I felt my eye twitch. Just who are these guys?

A little window slid open to the driver's seat. A face appeared in it. I immediately recognised it.

"Hey you're that blonde guy that bumped into me yesterday!" At least I THINK it's a guy.

The blonde laughed.

"Yes that was on purpose. Call me Narumi!" Man I could hear the honey and flowers dripping off this man's voice.

"Are you gay?" I blurted out.

~Silence~

Koko Burst into Hysterical laughter. Ruka grinned a bit, and Natsume...Was he asleep?

"Ehhh..no..." Said Narumi looking very confused.

"Hehe.. sorry" I said, as I rubbed the back of my head.

"I just wanted to tell you all that we're here."

"Wow that was a quick ride!" Said Koko happily.

I couldn't help but smile. The doors slid open, and all the boys hopped out, Koko ran away as fast as he could, and Natsume sauntered off after him. I stretched and walked to the door. Ruka stood next to it, blushing and looking at his feet. He held out a hand to help me down I took his hand. It was soft and warm. I felt my cheeks go red. I hopped out onto a dirt road surrounded by trees. The other two were way up the road. Narumi shut the van door, and ran off towards the others shouting something at them. I shrugged and walked along the path with Ruka. I looked around at the beautiful trees. The sky was pink from the sunrise, and living in Tokyo, I had never seen so many beautiful trees! I was in such a dazed happy mood, that It took me a few moments to realize that I hadn't yet let go Of Ruka's hand. I looked over at him. He was still staring at his feet, but I could see a small grin on his face. I decided not to let go. I wondered to myself why he hadn't let go. Was it possible that he liked me? Or did he just not want to awkwardly pull away? I decided to Figure it out later. I walked along dreaming of the ways to test if he possibly liked me out.

I felt Ruka stop. I looked up in Awe. In front of me, stood a small lake, in an almost perfect circle, with the water pink from the sunrise. Trees surrounded the sandy beach around it, and right in the middle, was a large, beautiful white house on stilts with a wooden bridge leading to it's door.

Was this where I was going to live?

I wrote a similar story to this a few weeks ago, But I decided to fix ot up a little. I made it more Peter Pan influenced, And I also Favor Ruka more thn Natsume in this one. (if you ask me Why, I will give a good argument :P) I didn't get a lot of reviews on the last one, So I'm really would like some for this one! It'll only take a minute, and It will make me sooooooooo happy :D

If your thinking right now, "Oh, it isn't about Natsume. this sucks." I can see your point. But don't worry. Natsume IS in this, and there ARE a few romantic scenes with him in the future. I just wanted a softer character in this one, So Ruka is favored.

I thank you soooo much for reading, And I would LOVE if you reviewed!
