Sui Generis
Chapter One
Curiosity

Feet walked silently through the docks as the smell of salt drifted in and out their nose. In their arms was a brown, black, and white cat that was sleeping peacefully not disturbed at all by the overwhelming scent of salt or the darkened deserted dock.
It's probably because the place reeks of fish, the person deadpanned.
The lone occupant of the dock appeared to be a child of eight years old. Her large chocolate brown eyes looked around in wonder as if she was searching for something. Her honey brown hair touched her shoulders as a black hat with cat ears sat atop her head. Her petite body was covered in a dark blue hoodie with the sleeves ending just after her elbows and brown baggy shorts. Her tiny feet were covered in black and white sneakers making no sound whatsoever as she walked.
She adjusted the sleeping cat in her arms as she turned a corner. Despite her young age, she didn't appear to be scared of the dreariness of the abandoned docks. It appears that her genuine curiosity crushed any desire to be scared.
Suddenly, the silence was disrupted by the sound of feet pounding on the ground and the panting of breath. The little girl's eyes flickered over to the sound and came across a girl a couple years older than herself with seaweed green hair. Her eyes emerald with franticness and panic. She appeared to be wearing a uniform from some elite school, the girl mused.
"Ano… what's wrong?" the little girl asked as she cocked her head to the side. The older girl snapped her head to the sound of the voice with a yelp. When she saw that it was only a little girl, she let out a sigh of relief glad that it wasn't one of the AAO chasing after her.
"You should get out of here little girl," the seaweed girl told her, "It's not safe". The little girl gave her a smile of confusion.
"Actually, I'm just looking for someone" she replied wondering why in the world this place would be dangerous. "But why are you here?" she inquired to the older girl with one eyebrow rose. Was she looking for someone too?
The girl gasped, as she seemed to remember the situation and ran past her. The little girl called after her but the seaweed haired girl ignored her as she went on.
"What a weird onee-chan" the little girl spoke out as she watched her run away. She once again adjusted the cat and continued onwards as if nothing had happened. "I never even got her name. Oh well"
While the little girl walked on, the older girl ran with speed in the opposite direction looking for some kind of police officer or any adult that would help her completely forgetting about the strange little girl. Her thoughts were on other things.
'I have to find someone or else Natsume-kun and Ruka-kun are done for!'
-----------------------------
Cheeks puffed out in annoyance and frustration clearly indicating that their search is not going well at all. Five minutes of wondering around and she was ready to yell out for her intended target. She was so telling Mama that he wasn't watching her like he was supposed to. That would show him, she thought with an evil grin.
However, her thoughts were soon interrupted as she caught sight of an abandoned warehouse. Well, it didn't seem abandoned at the moment for there was a huge racket coming from it. Deciding to investigate, the little girl headed towards the warehouse.
She hid behind some crates so she wouldn't be seen and stood on her tiptoes to observe the situation. It appeared to be some kind of fight if the hostile looks and unfair numbers surrounding the two opposing them was any indication.
The two outnumbered seemed to be the same age as the girl she saw before. It seems they were from the same school too since one of the boys was wearing a similar uniform to the perm girl.
The first boy had raven-black hair and crimson eyes. He wore casual clothing like a dark green long sleeve shirt and army cargo pants. He glared at all of the suited men with so much hate that if looks could kill, they would all be six feet under. However, if looks could kill, that would mean that he wouldn't have to damage his already weakened state.
The second boy didn't appear as hostile as the first, but he glared at them in fury. His blue eyes alit and blonde hair slightly ruffled from the fight. He wore a uniform similar to the seaweed-haired girl.
The little girl watched in pure curiosity and ignorance as to what was going on. She didn't understand the hostile looks, or the killing intent in the air. She questioned the glaring and the battle before her having never been exposed to this sorta thing. She just watched the two boys in interest as if it was a movie playing out before her eyes.
The raven-haired boy summoned a ball of fire in his hand. The little girl's eyes widened as she realized just what those two boys are.
'Alices!' her thoughts screamed with excitement. She had never seen any children with alices before. Everyone back at the base was well into adulthood, which made it very lonely for the young girl who desired a playmate often.
Maybe she should ask for them to play with her. She always wanted to play with other kids like normal children, but alas, the only companion she has is her fat cat she carries around with her.
After what seemed like an eternity, the fire caster spoke.
"Move" he commanded.
"You won't get away," a voice said with a hint of cockiness in the tone. The curious brown eyes lit up in recognition as she recognized that voice right away.
"Move" the boy commanded again with more rage. The fire crackled and burned brighter. The little girl's eyes widened as she realized what the boy was about to do. Didn't he see that those people were alices too?
Without understanding or thinking, the little girl rose out from her hiding place, leaving her cat behind, and hugged the boy from behind.
"NO!" she yelled out. The boy's crimson eyes widened as well as all the others in the warehouse. The ball of fire disappeared before it had the chance to be flung at the older red-haired male.
Not really getting why she was here, the red-haired male smirked and took off his earning. A shock wave radiated throughout the warehouse with him and the little girl being the only ones unaffected.
The boy passed out in her arms just as his companion. The suited men were all lying on the floor letting out painful moans at the sudden shock wave from the red-haired male's alice.
The red-haired male readjusted his earning and nodded for two of the men to pick up the two captives. With some difficulty, the weary men carried the two unconscious alices onto the boat waiting at one of the ports.
The male's violet eyes gazed upon the young girl with a mix of confusion, amusement, and scolding.
"Now tell me," he said to the little girl, "Why on earth are you here when I clearly instructed you to say at the hotel until I came to get you?" he asked his arms crossed.
The little girl's response was sticking out her tongue as she picked up her cat who seemed to have just woken up.
"You were taking too long!" she retorted. "I got bored and decided to look for you," she explained at the same time as petting her chubby cat. "I'm telling Mama you weren't taking good care of me!" she told the older man with a pout.
The red-haired man sighed and patted her head.
"Gomen, Gomen" he apologized sincerely. "I didn't mean for it to take so long. There were many unexpected delays," he explained hoping that the little girl would change her mind about telling on him to his senpai. He knows how much the woman was overprotective of her daughter and would probably send him to the hospital for leaving her unsupervised.
"Fine, I forgive you" the little girl said haughtily, "but you owe me an ice cream, 'kay?" she proposed to the older man. He patted her head showing that he agreed.
"Let's go" he said and took her hand.
"I can't wait to see Mama!" the little girl cheered. "Ne, Uncle Reo?" she asked as she turned her brown-eyed gaze to him.
"Ah, it will be good to return home to Yuka-senpai" Reo told her while they boarded the ship. "She will surely be happy that you returned home safely, Mikan-chan"
Karin-chan: Woah! Totally Alternate universe wouldn't you say? I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this story. Oh, and I would like you guys to know that Ruka and Natsume are cold-hearted at first since Mikan never showed up at Alice Academy. Also, Mikan doesn't know Hotaru either. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter.
Natsume: It sucked.
Karin-chan: I wasn't asking your opinion! I was asking the readers!
Natsume: Che
Karin-chan: "Che" yourself. Anyway, I hope you will be kind enough to leave a review for me. Thanks and see you next chapter!
Natsume: Don't review her. Make her weep from readers neglecting her.
Karin-chan: EH?! Natsume, you meanie!
See ya next time!
