Kaleidoscope Abelia.

Hello, hello! Welcome to Kaleidoscope Abelia, a Gakuen Alice fanfic that only this very story I own. None of the characters in (except my two OCs) this story are owned by me and is respectfully owned by Higuchi Tachibana. The story will be set after the manga, and this time, there is another in the Academy that has taken over the ESP's plans once he has died, though there is more than meets the eye. I hope you enjoy my very first Gakuen Alice fanfiction. : ]

Chapter 1: Dangerous Discrimination

Seria leaned against the wall as she was told to wait outside. She sighed as she pushed her glasses closer up on her face, pulling her long and wavy lilac hair back into a black ponytail holder; pinning her shorter strands of hair back into a black butterfly barrett. New schools always sucked, but this one was no exception. It was the last place she expected to be eithout a doubt. She could hear the teacher begin to quiet the class down to introduce her.

"Hello, my lovely students. Today, I want you all to be nice. We have a new edition to our class. A lovely new girl."

"What? You gace to be kidding me!? What is her Alice? What star rank is she? Why is she joining so late?"

"Sumire... settle down. Her name is Seria Harunai. She is 16 as well... hm, why not let her speak for herself. Seria?"

She sighed, stepping through the door and came to stand next to the teacher. She glanced around the classroom, eyeing each of the students. She noticed there was only one spot open in the back and the student next to the empty seat wasn't even paying attention. He was knocked out, fast asleep.

"Excuse me, but what star rank are you?" the same voice from earlier asked as she stood up. Seria eyed the girl and sighed.

"I'd rather... not say, if you don't mind."

"Well, then what is your Alice? Judging from those restraints, you must be pretty powerful."

"That is indeed the case, but again... I would prefer not to say."Sumire looked rather frustrated by Serias' responces, but sat down without saying anything back. Seria glanced around, waiting for more questions.

"Anyone else have anymore questions for me?" A kid who had Alice restraints, messy black hair and angry looking eyes, glanced up from his manga: meeting Serias silvery blue eyes.

"What is your type class?"

"For the time being, I am in Somatic until otherwise."

"What is that suppos-"

"Natsume, that is enough questions for now. Seria, take the seat next to Haru Akise in the back. If you need help, ask him. He will be your partner in this school."

"A slacker, it seems, is meant to be my partner?" Seria scoffed as she made her way to her designated seat, sitting down in a huff. She glanced sideways at the boy next to her, wondering if he would budge, but sure enough, he didn't even move. "So pathetic.."

"It's not nice to talk about someone when they are sleeping, you know," a soft voice whispered. Seria glanced over and saw crimson red eyes watching her behind silvery blonde bangs. He was striking enough, but didn't impress her one bit.

"Tch, let me guess, you are Haru Akise."

"And you are that snobby girl, Seria Harunai, who won't even say what her Alice is; let alone why she is joining so late."

"Do I need a reason? Everyone has secrets," Seria leaned back, watching the clouds run by as the teacher left, leaving all the kids to use their Alices and goof off.

"Secrets can never be good, Harunai. And we are all classmates here; practically family. Best to get-"

"Look, Akise," she spat his last name out as if she didn't even want to use any part of his name. "Secrets keep me alive. If all my secrets spill out, I would be worse off than I am now. So just stop with that. You are my partner, right?"

"Seems that way, I suppose." He yawned, stretching. Seria stood up suddenly as the class got rowdier.

"We can leave when the teacher isn't here, right?" Haru nodded, leaning back in his chair. "Well, I am off then."
Seria bowed quickly, rushing out of the door before her new classmates noticed she was leaving. Haru smirked, yawning even more.

"Interesting, that one is."

Haru made his way to where he thought he saw Seria head off to. It had only been an hour since she ran off like that and it was frustrating. Not only that, but Ms. Arumi forced him from his sleep to find her. Just because he was her partner did not mean he had to be her baby-sitter as well. He stopped in his tracks as he glanced up into the sky, watching the clouds roll along with no care. If it was night time, he could find her easier. Screw the long way.

Haru stuffed his hands into his pockets and continued on. If he didn't find her soon, the both of them would be forced to do cleaning duties in the classroom for a whole month. it wasn't until 5 minutes of searching did he find her, leaning against a tree that looked withered and dead. Even the bushes looked dead, oddly enough. But, it was only around her. As Haru got closer thought, he noticed someone was there; a certain spikey black-haired man in a mask. He seemed to watching Seria intently, but Haru could see that this mas was really watching the grass around Seria wilt away. Haru rushed over, startling him.

"Hey! What are you doing to her!?"

"Wha-" the man seemed at a loss for words as Haru grabbed him by the collar.

"I said, what are you doing to her!?"

"Who is that girl...?" the man finally asked; voice barely above a whisper. When Haru didn't answer, the man pushed Haru away angrily. "I said who is she!? This girl..."

"Her name is Seria. What would it matter to you, Persona?"
The man known as Persona suddenly turned his hidden eyes onto Haru, suddenly looking desperate. It caught Haru off guard as he knew Persona rarely (if at all) looked or seemed nervous about anything.

"If anyone asks, tell them I was here and did this. Do. Not. Under any circumstances, say she was here in this very spot she is in now," Persona moved to Seria and picked her up. It was then that Haru realized she wasn't waking up. Persona handed Seria into the arms of Haru, princess style. "Take her to the hospital. Remember what I said."

And in a flash, Persona was gone, leaving a confused Haru behind. Seria mumbled softly about staying and not to leave her behind; that she was sorry for killing her.

All Seria could hear were soft whispers between a man and a woman. Although they tried to be quiet, she could tell they were arguing.

"... Alice does she have, Narumi?"

"Natsuka... you know I can't say anything. The Principle-"

"But, she is in my class, no clue what she is here for, yet alone what her Alice is. Even Persona decided to show himself to her! From what Haru said, he tried to kill her with his Alice, but it didn't touch her."

"Natsuka..."

"No, I want to know. You have until the end of the day or I will find out myself. If Persona is taking an interest in her, I will not have her endanger my students." The sound of heels clicked angrily away before Seria opened her eyes and glanced over, seeing Narumi sitting next to her.

"Mr. Narumi?"

"Ah, Seria... you are awake. How do you feel?"

"I'm a little sore, and my head hurts," Narumi seemed to look relieved as she sat up. "What will she do, if she doesn't get informed of my Alice?"

"As she said, she will find out. That's her Alice: the Detective Alice. Rather annoying Alice when you want to keep things hidden. What to do, what to do..." Narumi had this strained and stressed look on his face. Seria glanced at her hands, looking lost in thought.

"We will have to say something, won't we..." she murmered, mind flashing to thoughts of her Aunt Ananeko, a funeral, the blame, and all the pain and tears. "We have to..."

"Seria? We have to try to keep it quite. You know that..." Narumi protested. Seria shook her head slowly.

"I don't mind if saying pushes people away from me... I'm better off that way, you know," she smiled softly at him, a painful expression in her eyes. Though deep down in her heart, she wanted friends; she wanted to not be lonely anymore. She had to keep those feelings hidden, locked away so she couldn't hurt no one anymore. "I'm dangerous anyways, right?"

Narumi stood and placed his hand on the top of her head, looking sadly down at her, wishing there was more he could do for her. A life in solitude, dangerous to everyone including herself. A sudden knock at the door snapped them from their thoughts and the door opened with Haru walking into the room. He didn't look at Seria but turned his eyes onto Narumi.

"Ah, Haru. Good timing. Come here; shut the door if you will."

"What is it? I only just got your text," Haru shut the door and casually walked over, his hands in his pockets. Seria watched him as he stood next to Narumi, carefully reading his movements and expressions. What was his problem, not acknowledging her and pretending she wasn't there?

"I have to go to the Principle and get things here sorted out. I need you to stay here and keep an eye on Seria," Narumi didn't wait for his answer and turned his head to look at Seria, pausing to think of what to say to her now. "Seria, if you wish, explain to him. I won't make you tell him, nor do I condone it without permission, but if you wish to tell him what is going on, then by all means do it. I will try to by some time so that Ms. Arumi won't need to find out, either."

"Do you think I should, Mr. Narumi?" Seria softly asked, gazing at Narumi with emotionless eyes. "Would it be worth telling?"

"Do what you think is best. Whether you tell just one person, or you tell everyone, that is a decision you must make on your own," Narumi pat her head gently before walking away, placing a hand on Haru's shoulder. "If she decides to tell you, be by her side. Don't shun her away. Now, I will be back in a bit."

Narumi moved away from the two of them, heading towards the door and leaving. The door shut slowly and quietly, leaving the two of them in a awkward silence. Haru made an agonizing face and he quickly sat in one of the chairs, resting his arms on his thighs as he bent over; eyes over shadowed by his bangs as he tilted his head down.

"You know, I don't trust you," Haru's head jolted up, his eyes finally resting on Seria who was just staring out the window. Of course he knew that; he didn't exactly trust her either, not that he did in the first place. "Let me ask something. If someone had a Dangerous ability, would you hate them? Knowing that their Alice could destroy something or someone?"

"What are you talking about?"

"It is exactly what it sounds like," Seria turned to face him, using one hand to push her glasses up higher on her nose. "Would you discriminate someone for having a Dangerous ability?"

"It depends," he started to say, suddenly becoming quiet as he pondered her question. Scenarios and ideas all poured from his mind, trying to concieve an answer that could even satisfy him. "I guess if it was used to do bad things, then yes, I would."

"I see..." Seria seemed to look sad to Haru, but only for only just a second before she turned her head the other way and sighed. "Then I guess even you would hate me too."
