Masquerade

When everyone hides under a façade. When everyone assumes a different persona. What will happen to their world? Who is the real persona? Things aren't what they seem.

DISCLAIMER: I wish I own Gakuen Alice, but unfortunately I don't :)

A/N: Italicized are their thoughts.


Natsume's POV

Damn it. Why does everyone I know have to be this way? They have no right to kick me out. I happen to be one of their children. If they don't want me, fine. I can live without them, but I'm sure as hell they can't do anything without me.

I'm walking down a darkened street. Funny, I don't remember the street lights ever off in this area. A car then stopped in front of me. A guy with blond hair, and what I assumed to be a frilly dress on, came striding towards me.

"Hi, I'm Narumi-sensei, you must be Natsume Hyugga, am I right?" he introduced

"What is it to you?" I scowled at him.

"We're from Gakuen Alice, a prestigious school for people like us, I'm sure you've heard of it. " He said

Like us? What did he mean?

"I came to fetch you in your house, but they said you ran away. So we came looking for you. Your parents gave us permission to take you in." the Narumi guy continued. "Your parents already packed your clothes and in the trunk, all we're missing is you, so come on?"

Like hell. Those damn people can really lie. I didn't runaway they kick me out. For some reason I really don't know. Some parents they are. They really are that intent in getting rid of me. Well, I take whatever fate brought me, they'll see. I'll get them back for treating me like that. I scowled at my thought. I wanted to voice them out but my voice seemed to be lost.

"Hey, kid, are you ok?" the gay said

I must have been staring at him longer than I expected. "Yeah, I'm fine. Take me to this school you were blabbering about. And what the hell did you mean it's for 'people like us'?"

He gave a small chuckle then said, "Get in and I'll tell you all about it"

I obeyed without any hesitation. I was 8 years old.


Mikan's POV

I'm currently hiding behind the shadows. I'm on one of those missions. This time, I'm tasked with an easy one. To locate Natsume Hyugga, and when I did, lead Narumi-sensei to him, then if necessary use brute force to take him in. My job was easy because he willing went with Narumi. The fool. Well atleast he made my job easier. I wonder if he really is an asset to the school, if their willing to send me just to make sure that he will be a part of this mayhem. Well, time to go home. I teleported to my room. And went straight to bed. I didn't mind sleeping in my mission clothes this time, for they aren't soiled. I'm Mikan Sakura, 8 years old.


Ruka's POV

I went to Natsume's house this morning. I found him gone. I talked to Mrs. Hyugga, she gave me the most sincere smile she can muster up, but I still saw the real her behind those mask. She told me Natsume ran away. Natsume always tell me stories about them. His so called family. Nastume told me that his family hates him, I always counter him and told him its not true, maybe he just misunderstood them. But this morning, the fact that Mrs. Hyugga relay the news about Natsume without any hint of worry, plus I didnt see anybody worrying, I didnt see anybody trying to find him, I saw that Natsume's problem was real. He wasnt just joking about it. Now, this time, his family really done it. Maybe he was kikced out? I gave Mrs. Hyugga a smile and I quickly left to find him.

" Try finding him in Gakuen Alice! " Mrs. Hyugga shouted at my retreating figure.

I did, and now I'm Standing at the gates of this humongous school. I'm Ruka Nogi, best friend of Natsume Hyugga.


Hotaru's POV

This is a headache. MIKAN! I said as I pound the door of my best friend.

Mikan didnt budge and didnt open the door. "Fine. I need to leave for a week. I know you will be bothering everyone if I didn't tell you. I'm leaving now. Its a convention in America. Ja ne." I said to the closed door. I knew Mikan heard me. I stride further away. I'm one of the genius in this academy, a protege in technology, even if I was 8. I had every opportunity to travel.


So there. I know its a tiny bit for an introduction. I hope to update soon :) I promise I'll do better next time ^^

Please read and review.
