Chapter 1 – A Dirty Little Secret

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GAKUEN ALICE.

Me: Koko, Natsume is staring at me in a strange way, what is he thinking?

Koko: He is thinking, "Only a disgusting idiot would dip chips into ice-cream and eat it."

Me: What's wrong that…it's nice!

Natsume: Baka.

Me: Shesh…Must be his menopause…does male have menopause? thinking deeply .

Natsume:(Giving off heat waves…must have angered him by my comment.)

PLEASE REVIEW!

After the whole incident where Natsume went into the Middle School to try and save his younger sister (can't be bothered to tell the whole thing, you would know what I mean if you have read the manga – volume 10.)

The whole group managed to get out of there alive, away from Persona. However, for the next few days Mikan had disappeared and no one had any idea where on earth she is but the teachers don't seem bothered…maybe they know what's going on.

Just as Hotaru, Natsume, Ruka and Yuu were about to conduct a search for her around the whole school campus, Mikan walks into the classroom. She doesn't seem to be as energetic as she usually is.

"Oi, polka dots, where were you for the past three days?"

"I collapsed in my bedroom and Narumi-sensei brought me to the hospital." Mikan lied.

"Are you okay now?" Hotaru asks…her voice shows that she is a bit worried.

"Yeah."

Narumi-sensei walks into the classroom and they all went back to the seats. When he walked in he casts a worried glance at Mikan.

Flashback – In Mikan's Bedroom

Narumi: Mikan, the Headmaster wants to talk to you.

Mikan: Do you have any idea what it is about?

Narumi: No.

In the Headmaster's Office

Headmaster: Ms Sakura, as you know, your nullification Alice is a great advantage to our school and we can use it against the Anti – Alice.

Mikan: …(thinking)

Headmaster: I am asking you if you can help the school, if you can handle some dangerous missions for us.

Mikan: If you agree on one condition.

Headmaster: And what is that?

Mikan: If you will allow Hyuuga Natsume to stop doing any missions and allow him to live a normal life like everyone else, without fearing that those he loves is going to be taken away from him.

Headmaster: I can agree on that.

Mikan: And that no one will find out that I am doing this…especially him.

Headmaster: (Smiles) Okay, Ms Sakura, I can agree with that.

When Mikan walked out Narumi-sensei asked her what did they talk about. She didn't answer him but instead, told him not to tell anyone that she went to see the Headmaster. Narumi agreed, against his will.

For the past few days she have been doing missions without anyone knowing, and that is the real reason why she is so tired right now.

End of Flashback

The lesson started but Mikan is finding difficulty with staying awake let alone paying attention. After a futile attempt she fell asleep on Natsume's shoulder. Everyone thought that Natsume is going to shout at her but instead he didn't move or flinch. Instead he moves her head a little so she would be more comfortable.

"Natsume…"

"Ruka…I know she's tired because she is worried about me."

She saved Natsume from the darkness. But she didn't know that for her, this is the start of a long trip into the darkness. And who is going to save her if no one knows her dirty little secret.
