Hey everyone who is going to read this FanFic.

I had written this story about… a few months back. Had a sudden urge on continuing the story, so I made some slight changes to the story and had this uploaded.

So sorry, my English isn't very good. Therefore, I presume there will be many mistakes. Please do kindly overlook them. Hehe :P

Well then… Let's get the story started then~ Enjoy~

In the Academy where all Alice gather, there is one special place where-by no one can enter without permission. A place covered by a strong barrier that cannot be easily taken down.

That place is known as the Labyrinth Mansion. In that mansion, lives a girl known as Sakura Mikan.

Under ESP (Elementary School Principal) and MSP (Middle School Principal) deal, she is not allowed to leave the mansion. Mikan has to live alone in the Labyrinth Mansion… Well, not totally alone.

A little companion, Bear, is assigned to her as her guardian.

Not in contact with her friends who are living freely outside, Mikan is locked up in a room in the Mansion. However, with her cheerful personality and her little companion always accompanying by her side, she never feel down.

And on the Christmas Night, she had received presents, a storybook from each of her friends. And also a Christmas miracle.

A short Rendezvous moment with the boy she loves deeply, Hyuga Natsume.

Under the falling snow, the boy made a promise to the girl that he will save her. And their promise is sealed with a tight kiss, with the moon as their witness.

With all the happy moments in the past, the girl is back alone in the Mansion alone again.

The morning sunshine shone into the room and directly on the face of a sleeping beauty.

The stinging light woke Mikan up unpleasantly. She groans and turns around in her bed. Something on the bed drop on the floor and the sound of the thing falling woke her up completely.

She sat up on the bed, with story-books scattered at every corner.

"I shouldn't have slept so late last night." Mikan said and let out a yawn.

Looking at the story-books on her bed, she let out a smile. She turned to a table by the bed, with many photo frames on it and said, "Good morning, everyone!"

She got out and changed out of her pyjamas and into her school uniform. She went in front of her mirror to tidy her hair and tied it up into her usual pig-tailed.

With all of her grooming done, she went out to the balcony to wait until her breakfast is delivered into the room.

While standing at the balcony, she remembered her promise with Natsume during Christmas, and the seal of the promise starts burning her lips.

Out of the blues, she remembered something that Natsume said in the past.

"The hairstyle won't be suitable in five years time. Let it down."

Remembering those words, she took her hair in one hand and fiddle with it.

"Let it down huh?"

She went back into the room and sat in front of the mirror. She let down all her hair and style it in another different way. She tied half of her hair in a bun and clips it to the side.

With her new look reflecting on the mirror, she smiled genuinely.

A soft knock on the door pulls her back to earth. When the door opens Bear and the HSP (High School Principal) or also identified Mikan's Uncle, came into the room.

"Uncle! Bear! Good Morning!" Mikan greeted cheerfully.

Bear bowed to Mikan and laid her breakfast on the table for her.

"Good morning, Mikan. I see you changed your hairstyle." Mikan's uncle, Yukihara Kazumi greeted.

"Does it suit me?" Mikan asked and chuckled.

"Yeah, it does suit you." Kazumi said and patted Mikan on her head, "Go and have your breakfast. After that, your lesson will be starting."

"Yes sir!" Mikan answered and dashes to the dining table for her breakfast.

Mikan swiftly had her breakfast and went for lessons with her uncle.

While Mikan was having her lessons,The new MSP, Masachika Shiki, came barging into the room.

"Kazumi-san, there's trouble." Shiki said, panting heavily.

Both Mikan and Kazumi got shocked by Shiki's sudden entrance and his words. They stood up from their seats.

"What happened, Shiki?" Kazumi asked in a calm manner.

Shiki took a quick breath before explaining, "The ESP, joined forces with his clone in Z, is now marching into the Labyrinth Mansion. He wants to claim Sakura Mikan."

The news shocked both of Kazumi and Mikan.

"B-But I thought Shiki-san had a deal with ESP. Is he breaking the deal now?" Mikan asks with her voice trembling.

"Yes, apparently so." Shiki answers to Mikan's question and frowned.

The answer became a huge blow to Mikan. She stood there rooted to the ground.

"Right now, I had strengthened the barrier and had ordered the Dangerous Ability students standing guard at the stair-way. Rest assure, Mikan. We will protect you no matter what." Shiki assured her.

"Mikan, stay here in the room. We will do something about the ESP matters." Kazumi said and patted on Mikan's head to comfort her.

Kazumi and Shiki head out of the room, closing the door behind them.

Back in the room, Mikan remained silent and had dropped to the ground, unwilling to move an inch or speak another word.

A small soft hand touched Mikan and brought her back. It was Bear. Bear put his small hand on Mikan's lap, as if assuring her that he will also protect her from the ESP.

"Bear…" Mikan called out tearfully. She stretches her hand out and hugs Bear close to her.

In the elementary branch of the Academy, news on the ESP's rebellions travelled to them.

"… And that's the gist of it." A young boy said. He possesses super-hearing alice. He told everyone in Class B on what he had heard from the teachers' discussion in their office.

Everyone's face starts to turn pale.

"Mikan is in grave danger." Hotaru says. She is Mikan's closest friend.

Hotaru turns her head to face Natsume who stood there, shocked by the news he just received, "What do you plan on doing, Hyuga-kun?"

Hotaru's question breaks Natsume's train of thought.

His eyes shine full of determination, "Do you need to ask?"

Natsume's words brought up the fighting spirit of everyone in the class. As they were about the march out of the class to save Mikan, they were stopped by several teachers, Narumi, Nodachi and Jinno.

"Wait up, you all!" Narumi called out to the students.

"It's too dangerous for you all to go," Jinno explained "Noda-sensei, please take the students into the time space to hide."

"No way! We are all going to save Mikan!" Natsume protested. The others behind him encored.

"Like what we said, it's too dangerous to involve the students in this. You all will have to follow Noda-sensei into the time space to hide." Narumi reasoned with them.

Before another word could be spoken by the protesting students, Nodachi stood amongst the students and prepared his time travelling.

In the midst of the time travelling skill to be activated, Hotaru, Natsume and Natsume's best friend, Ruka manage to escape out of the crowd and avoided the time travelling.

While the rest of the students got brought into the time space, Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka remained behind.

"You three… BRATS!" Jinno exclaimed in anger.

The three of them ignored him and ran off to save Mikan.

"Wait up, you three!" Narumi called out.

"As if we will wait, BA-KA!" The three of them encored while they ran off.

Pissed off by the three students' action, Narumi and Jinno followed them.

While escaping the teachers' grasp, the three of them met Andou Tsubasa, middle school sempai of Mikan's, and Tonouchi Akira, also one of Mikan's sempai.

"Hotaru, Natsume, and Ruka-pyon too!" The two of them called out to them when they saw them running towards their direction.

Before they could stop them, both of them got dragged by Hotaru and Natsume. Both of them joined their run.

"Have you heard about the ESP's rebel?" Tonouchi asked while they run.

"Yeah." Ruka answered.

"We are now heading to save Mikan." Hotaru explained

"Heh, same as us then." Tsubasa smirked, "But do you know where she was confined at?"

"I know." Natsume broke into the conversation, "The main building of the Academy, The Labyrinth Mansion."

"Alright, let's hurry!" Tonouchi says.

The five of them speed up, dashing through the corridor, in desperate to save Mikan out of the ESP's grasp.

How is it?

Actually I wrote this when I was younger. It is sort of like a fairy-tale story... But I changed the story a little and turn it into a Gakuen Alice FanFic. I hope it's alright...

Please do R&R. :)
