Chapter 1: The painful goodbye

I do not own GA. I only own Yuri Sakura.

Hey guys this is The Sliver Meaning of Life and Love hope you guys like it, it's my first story, and please review. ^_^

I never thought i would write a fanfic story because i thought i had no potential in writing but i would like to dedicate and thank my best friend Wolfe Eclipse for pushing me into writing this story.

"Mikan are you sure you want to do this? I don't want you to force yourself" Yuka stated.

"Yes mom I want to do this and no you're not forcing me, this is my decision" Mikan stated.

Yuka is a very beautiful woman she has brown eyes, amber wavy hair up to her shoulders and is wearing a blue sweater shirt and some skinny jeans. Her expression showed only concern and sadness.

Her daughter was very much like her she had brown eyes, amber straight hair falling down to her waist. also she is wearing a blue blouse and skinny jeans with black ballet slippers. Mikan is a 14 year old girl who is packing all her clothes, mangas, romantic novels, her IPod, but most importantly pictures of her family.

She didn't really want to go but she thought that it would be best for her little brother Yuri. Yuri is 2 years old; he had brown spiky hair and green eyes, also a smile like an angel. But there was one problem, he had cancer and needed to go into surgery but her family couldn't afford it. So Mikan thought if she went to the academy, then the government would pay for her brother's treatment.

Suddenly Mikan heard whimpers and crying, she turned to see her mother crying. She came close to her and hugged her tightly to try and comfort her. But deep inside she felt the same way but she had to be tough for everyone. She then looked into her mother's eyes and saw so much sadness that she had to look away. It hurt her to see her mother in so much pain but she had to do what was right.

"Mom, you know I love you and we have always been together; but please just try to be strong, and think of what's right for Yuri" She whispered in her mom's ear.

Her mother was still sobbing but she wiped the last of her tears and nodded and tried to keep a smile on her face. "Your right we should probably get going it's a long drive", as they started toward the door.

Yuri who was in his feety pajamas and holding his brown teddy bear came close to Mikan ," Mikan-nee is not going anywhere" he said coldly.

His eyes were burning with anger and he folded his arms across his chest, Mikan was astounded when she saw that, her eyes widened but then softened. She grabbed her brother and put him on her lap and brushed his hair while whispering loud enough for him to hear.

" Yuri I have to go to Alice Academy so the government will pay for your treatment; don't be sad I'll always be with you ".

He looked up at her and started bawling, his eyes were like a whirlpool of sadness that Mikan felt her heart sink.

"Mikan-nee you promised me you would never leave me you said we would always be together! YOU LIAR! I HATE YOU!" He screamed his eyes filled up with a mix of anger and grief.

Mikan was hurt, her head hung low as she whispered in his ear "We will always be together I promise I will never leave you alone, I would never ever try to hurt you. Just to show you how serious I am, I made a special necklace for only you and me so we will always be together".

Her brother saw her expression her eyes were full of sorrow and tears, her lips were in a very thin line, "I'm sorry Mikan-nee I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm just very upset" he held her tight and she hugged him.

She put a necklace on him, the necklace was a gold chain and had a charm, it was shaped as a flame and inside was a crystal shaped as a pearl and was red. Mikan's necklace was a silver chain and the charm was shaped as a snowflake, inside the snowflake was a crystal and was shaped as a heart and was blue. Mikan started explaining how it worked.

"Yuri whenever you feel alone, scared or you miss me badly just look into the crystal and it will shine and let me know that you miss. Every time it glows I will always think of you and I will be able to telepathically send you a message and you can also send me one too. It only works and is made for the both of us. Do you understand?" She said with a bright smile plastered on her face, the only thing he could do was nod and smile.

That smile is the only thing that gives me strength but also causes me pain that I won't be able to see that beautiful smile when I'm gone, she thought.

"Mikan honey time to go, get your brother in the car" Yuka yelled.

She grabbed her brother and sat him in the BMW and put his seatbelt on; suddenly her mother whispered to her, it was so shocking, Mikan couldn't believe what she just heard, but she quickly recovered and put on a bright smile to hide her horror. She got in the car and saw her father's features of sadness; his face was pale and his eyes had bags under them. Mikan felt better knowing that when she arrives to the academy that her father Izumi will stop working full time. It was a quiet ride but as they arrived to Tokyo, Mikan felt a little edgy, she felt that someone was watching her but she disregarded that feeling.

Mikan's Pov

I got out of the car and saw a man in a white mask his clothing were black even his nails were painted black. He had a wide smirk on his face I knew right then and there that he was going to be trouble.

"My name is Persona and it is very nice to meet you all. Now before I tell you your classes and what you need to know about this school, its time to say your goodbyes since we only allow the students to proceed inside the school" he said smugly.

My mom came to me and hugged me so tight that I was about to turn purple she looked at me her face held concern , but I knew what she meant and I nodded, and kissed her on the cheek.

Next was my dad he hugged me and said "No boyfriends! Also if they don't understand that no means no then call me and I'll be here in a matter of seconds". He cracked his knuckles." Love you sweetheart "as he kissed me on the forehead.

Lastly was Yuri, he started walking and had his teddy bear in his hand and he passed it to me.

"This is your favorite teddy bear, I can't take it you need it more than I do" I stated with a bright smile on my face.

I then saw his face his eyes with tears, his mouth quivering , then his head hung low as he said "Bye Mikan-Nee I will miss you". He ran to hug me and then kissed me on the cheek as he ran back to my mom. I waved them goodbye as I suddenly saw Yuri running towards me as I headed to the gate.

"Mikan-Nee no don't leave" Yuri cried.

As he almost reached me but suddenly two men in black suits grabbed him, Yuri was crying as he felt pain when the men grabbed him tightly. When I saw that it made my blood boil I ran and punched, kicked, and slammed the two men to the ground as I grabbed for Yuri and he landed safely in my arms.

My eyes darkened as I glared at Persona, "Did you tell those idiots to grab my little brother? Well? Answer me!"

He started laughing but then stopped as quickly "We must go now" then started walking away.

I gave Yuri a kiss on the cheek and placed him in my mother's hands, then I followed the man.

I looked at every detail of the academy and made my conclusion, this place is only for people with an Alice and it keeps them secure from any organizations such as the AAO. Who use them to gain many material things such as money and documents. I studied on everything about this academy and all the types of Alice. To my surprise my parents also went here when they were kids. I have to keep a low profile so no one can find out about my brother. I just hope there are no mind readers here, so then i wont get caught when i think of my little brother.

As I followed him he told me my classes, what money here is called rabbits which are gold coins and only used by students. He told me the kinds of ranking here and told me that I was a special star. The amount of food, money and the room I sleep in are based on my rank. Since I'm the special star ranking then I will receive 500 rabbits a week, I will have a huge room big enough for 4 people, and i will receive a huge portion of food for every meal. I understood everything that he told me, I followed him as he showed me my room.

"You also have missions to attend to, do you understand?" he said coldly." Get some rest today you have training meet me in the forest at midnight and tomorrow you have your first mission" he said coldly.

I placed all my things in my room, all my photos of my family, my manga's and my romance novels. I put my clothes in my walk in closet. I felt so tired but I couldn't sleep my mind is still on what my mom told me.

Flash back

"Mikan, honey I have something important to tell you, your brother doesn't have cancer he has an Alice that shortens his life every time he uses it. He still doesn't know he uses it or that he has one.

But most importantly he has the Alice that both the academy and the organization are looking for, it's all the Alice's in the world. While you're at Alice Academy do not tell anyone that your brother has

that Alice. If anyone finds out your brother will be in grave danger. You need to find a way to distract the Academy and the AAO from discovering your brother; we will be hiding incognito in which no

one can find us do your best honey, Mom stated." All I could do was just stare in shock, but then my mom started to the car. I recovered as quickly and plastered a smile on my face to cover my horror.

End of Flash back

...

What am I going to do? I need to think.; I started pacing around my room thinking of ways to deal with this. Ok first i know my brother has a powerful alice that both the academy and organization want. But what can I do? I plopped myself on my bed looking at the light blue ceiling. Then suddenly my necklace started shining as i heard a low voice of an angel calling my name.

Mikan...

"Mikan-Nee are you there? Please! I need to talk to you... I'm so lonely Mikan-Nee"

"Yuri Whats wrong? What happened?" my voice cracked as i spoke.

"Me scared I miss having you with me, and tucking me in my bed with my teddy. Why did you have to leave?", he howled in pain. "I had a bad dream Mikan-Nee, where you never came back and mommy and daddy left me and i was taken and you didnt try to save me."

My heart ached, I couldn't speak I couldn't make any words come out to comfort him i could only let the silence engulf us.

"Yuri that will never happen I will come back and mommy and daddy will never leave you, and lastly no one will take you away I promise. It hurts me too, to be far away from you since we have been together since you were born but we must be strong and face this obstacle and we will soon be together again i promise."

"Mikan-Nee how do you know we will be together? how do you know that everything will be ok?" he whispered.

"I don't have all the answers, I don't know if we will be together again, I just hope and have faith that everything will be ok. We must go through these hardships for a reason to make us stronger in our hearts."

"...Mikan-nee I know that you made your decision according to me, but you have no right to decide for me, I know your trying to protect me but I also need to be strong on my own and fight my own battles. I love you Mikan-Nee you will always be the best sister in the whole wide world i love you. Bye Mikan-Nee talk to you soon."

...

As soon as he said those words he was gone. I couldn't hear him anymore, I could feel his pain when I talked to him. I couldn't believe that I was so blind and couldn't see that he has to go through so much more pain than I have to go through. I felt like I have been stabbed in the heart I couldn't believe in, what has just happened. I didn't have time I had to get to Persona at midnight and there was only 10 minutes till midnight. I was getting ready by picking up my hair in a ponytail ,wearing a black tank top and black shorts with my converse and i was out the door before the clock stroked midnight.

As I walked quietly and reached the forest I saw Persona glaring at me from a tree branch, he came down and punched me in the face. As I got up I met his fist again, this time i couldn't get up i was on the earthy ground as it started to drizzle.

He came close and pulled me up by the hair and hissed " dont ever come late to training or I will make everyday starting today like a living hell" he then dropped my head.

I was sore from being beat up, but eventually I made my way through the forest into a shack made of metal and it looked so cold and felt so unwelcoming. I went in and couldn't see a thing then Persona was by my side and led me down the stairs and there it was the base of the operations; the Academy's Headquarters. I was surprised to see many students down here training by either using their alice or in building up muscle for combat. I didn't like having to use violence in order to keep Yuri safe by just following every order they give me I hate that today would be my last day of freedom and after that i would be a puppet of the Academy. As I analyzed their moves their control in their alice I was stunned. But the one thing that did catch my eyes was a certain boy in how everyone praised him and in return he would just smirk it just irritated me in how someone can have such a pleased face in doing the dirty work for the academy it sickened me.

"We have a new member joining us today she has special alice's, which are nullification the stealing alice and the copy alice. Her name is Mikan Sakura everyone be on your best behavior", he smirked.

Everyone was looking at me but i didn't really have time to be the fresh meat so I sat on a bench speculating everything in the base.

"My little kitty cat come here", he said pointing at me.

I rolled my eyes and walked to where he was then he called Black cat. Then came in view the guy who had that smirk on his face as I saw him closely he had red crimson eyes, black raven hair, he had light tan skin tone and he was not buff but he wasn't lanky either but did have some muscles. He was just 2 inches taller than me, just by looking at him one thing that came to my mind was that he was drop dead gorgeous. He looked amused as he walked towards me he winked in my direction then faced Persona.

"Now Black cat show my little kitty cat what you know in combat".

Right then and there he and I started fighting he was good, but I was better I would block his every move, but then he was just inches away from my face. I felt my heart beating faster and faster then "crunch"! I felt myself getting dizzy, blood started trickling down my forehead then down my cheeks until it reach my lips the bitter taste of blood was like rust in my mouth. I quickly realized I was on the floor with his hand on my neck he didn't release me even though everyone was clapping for his success in the battle.

I felt my anger surging through me as I pushed him off me and punched him straight in the face. He fell to the floor I could tell that i broke his nose since the blood was gushing all around his nose. As I got to my feet my eyes met with Persona and I could tell his eyes held pride and amusement and then he told me to go get some rest. I took one glance at the boy who was bleeding and smirked just in time for him to see, he growled in response. The one thing that came to my mind in that moment was being here wont be that bad at least I'll have some fun. With a big smile on my face I walked back to my dorm. when I arrived to my dorm all emotions of amusement was drained from my face. I opened my door and found something that caught my eye I froze in place. My personal hell just got worse.
