Fearless

Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice.

Summary: Mikan was smart. Not to mention she had three Alices'. Her attitude was a lot different, and she wasn't exactly innocent in the mind either, not with her fox like personality.

------

Mikan was smart. She knew that her best friend cared for her, and the fact that she had a Alice, I mean she had three. So it was understandable that she would a bit ticked at the fact that Hotaru forgot about Mikan's Alices' and left to the school without her.

Mikan's brown eyes gazed boredly out the classroom window, not paying attention to the teacher. She already knew everything, so school wasn't a problem for her. She was bored out of her mind, and still ticked at the fact that Hotaru left without her and hadn't written yet. Well, not counting the one letter that asked for watermelons. Mikan sighed and stood, leaving the classroom, ignoring the shouts of the teacher.

She stauntered through the small village letting her mind wander. She greeted people absentmindly and they returned the greetings, used to her wandering around during school hours. Stopping she crouched down before springing up and landing on someone's roof. She hopped from roof to roof before arriving at her house. She landed lightly at the entarnce and entered, "Tadima!" she called out softly and her grandfather exited the living room with a smile.

"Got bored, Mikan-chan?" he asked, knowing the answer already.

Mikan smirked lazily, "Hai, jiji-san." Floating past him and into the kitchen, she started to prepare gradfather a meal. Her eye's held a far off look and she tied her multi-colored streaked hair up into a high ponytail. She gracefully moved about the kitchen, putting pots on the stove and letting them heat up, cutting up vegtables and meat, and crushing nuts. She tossed the meat into one of the two pans and the vegtables in the other.

She cooked the vegtables half way before turning that burner off and half cooked the meat. Then she put the vegtables into the meat pan and the nuts in the vegtable pan. She poured a little oil in the nut pan, and let the other pan cook. Finishing the meat and vegtables she placed them in a bowl and turned the burner off. She took the cooked nuts next and mixed them into the bowl and turned that burner off. While she had been cooking, she had resolved her mind. She was going to Alice Academy.

Nicking a pair of chopsticks, she entered her living room. She placed the bowl and chopsticks in her grandfather's lap and plopped onto her knees in front of him. She sat still and quiet, waiting for him to finish. Hearing the subtle sound of the bowl landed on the ground she looked up at her relative. She placed her hands daintly in her lap, allowing her elder to speak. "What have you decided, Mikan-chan?"

Mikan took a deep breath, "Jiji-san, I have decided to go to Alice Academy. I know your time will be soon, and I would rather not be here when it happens. I need to gain my independence sometime, and I feel it should be now instead of later. I hope you approve of my decision, Jiji-san."

Her grandfather sighed and bowed his head, "I approve. You are correct, my time will be ending soon, and I do not want you to be here when that happens. You will leave tomorrow."

"Hai, Jiji-san." Mikan stood and bowed, before leaving to pack.

Mikan stared blankly at the gates of Alice Academy. She wore a black camisole that read in red, 'Kiss the Fox', a black and red plaid, pleated skirt that reached to her upper-thigh, and knee length, lace up, black platform boots. Her hair was threaded into a braid and thrown over her shoulder and a black messenger bag was slung over the opposite shoulder. She had a thin coat of lipgloss on her lips and two shades of grey eyeshadow that held a smoky effect and made her eyes darker. She huffed, the gaurds wouldn't let her in and she was starting to get mad. Real mad.

Taking a deep breath to calm down. She folded her arms behind her head, before stauntering past the gates. She paused, however, when a two guys came up to her and asked, "Hey, are you trying to get into Alice Academy?"

Mikan smirked, these two were just a couple of thugs, blinking her eyes innocently at them, she cocked her head to the side, "Hai, but they won't let me in."

The two thugs smirked at each other and replied, "Well, thay are a tough school to get into, but we know a way you can get in."

Mikan closed her eyes and smiled brightly, "Oh, really?"

Before they could 'lead' her away a voice called, "Hold on, please! Sorry to interrupt your little transaction, but..." Mikan turned slowly, she vaugely remembered that voice. It sounded like...Narumi? True to Mikan's thought, Narumi stood there, a hand on hip and the other resting against the academy's wall. "Just where do you plan to take that kitten?"

"Who the hell're you?" one of the thugs asked.

Mikan twitched, she could've sworn there were sparkles surrounding Narumi, as he replied, "Who? I'm a teacher from Alice Academy."

Mikan turned away, a dark look passing her face as the two thugs pointed at him and stated, "NO WAY!"

"How could a fop like that be a teacher?" the one that had spoken before muttered.

A sigh passed Narumi's lips and he touched the thug's face lightly, "Go...A. W. A.Y."

The thugs' cheeks flushed as they stammered a reply before leaving quickly. Narumi smirked and turned to Mikan, "They almost got you. Now...run along home, okay?"

Mikan gave him a blank stare, "Are you sure you aren't gay?" Narumi almost face vaulted.

"So...your name is Sakura Mikan?" Narumi asked as they walked back towards the front gates.

Mikan looked up at him then back forward, "Yep." Then she glanced slyly at him and purred out, "I want to be a student at Alice Academy."

Narumi looked down at her and wondered why his Alice wasn't working on her. Then something seemed to click in his head, could she...? "Is that so?"

Mikan smirked up at him, "Yep and as a passing thought I'll add on that I have three Alices'."

Narumi blinked in shock, "Do you know what they are?"

Mikan's eyes closed as she smiled up at him and chirped, "Hai! One is theiveing without getting caught, two is flexibility, balance, and jumping real high, and third is nullification."

Narumi looked down at her again and kneeled in front of her so they were at eye level, "Do you know what you null-" Before he could continue an explosion ripped through the wall. Narumi leaned back away from it and he saw Mikan bouncing on the balls of her feet behind him grinning like a lunatic. Shaking his head lightly, he pointed at the figure wearing a black cat mask ontop of the wall's fence. "Meet Hyuga Natsume. His Alice is 'Fire.'"

Mikan shielded her eyes as she looked up, "Interesting."

Narumi stood and held his palm flat, a seed resting there, "Well, well...He went a little to far, I think." As he said this a whip started to grow from the seed. Natsume jumped off the wall and Narumi smacked Natsume in the cheek with the he wore flew off and he landed on the ground with a crash.

Mikan watched the proceedings with a blank face, unconcerned with what was happening. Her half-lidded gaze watched at Narumi said something, while Natsume growled something back, before Narumi kissed Natsume's cheek. Natsume went red before fainting. Narumi threw him over his shoulder and held a hand out to Mikan, "Well, now, Mikan-chan! Shall we? Ready to go?"

Mikan smirked and trotted along side him, unfazed at what had happened. When they made it to the gates Narumi smiled and annoucened, "And so welcome! Welcome to Alice Academy. Miss Sakura Mikan." Mikan only smirked, her eyes gaining a scary glint.

-------

Narumi's eyebrow twitched slightly as Mikan hummed beside him, twirling and dancing while she was at it. He almost sighed in relief when they reached a room. Opeing the door he set Natsume on a couch before giving a parting word, "Mikan-chan, please sit wherever you like. Wait here until I return, okay? I have to report your admittance to the principal."

Mikan turned to him and just grinned. Narumi left, feeling like Mikan was more then met the eye. Once Narumi left, Mikan turned to the boy on the couch. She had to admit, he was cute, and when he was dangerous, like before, he was down right sexy. The door slamming open caused Mikan to jump high in the hair and land back on the couch, crouching as she digged her long nails into the pillow. Her eyes were wide and she was shaking slightly.

"NARUMI!! DID YOU STEAL MY WHIPLASH BEAN FROM THE GREENHOUSE?!" Misaki's dark look faded at the animal positioned girl on the couch. "...Huh?"

Mikan looked at the teacher in front of her. "Gomen, Narumi-sensei isn't here."

"...Sorry I scared you. Are you the Alice canidate Narumi brought?" Misaki asked, calming down.

Mikan hopped off the couch gracefully, and swept into an elegant bow, "Hello, my name is Sakura Mikan. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Misaki blinked before bowing back, "Misaki-sensei, I'm the biology teacher. Nice to meet you too." He turned to leave, "Well, then sorry for intruding, I came here because I heard Narumi was here..."

Mikan tilted her head to the side, "Can you tell me what I have to do to get into the Alice Academy, Misaki-sensei?"

Misaki turned back around and noddded, sitting next to where Mikan had sat back down. "To officially enter the school you have to pass the entrance test during the one-week temporary stay. You're probably going to join the elementry division class B. All you have to do is be cooperative, friendly and get accepted by your classmates. We see how you do and judge your Alice level."

Mikan sipped her tea slowly, deep in thought. She wasn't exactly social, so she wasn't sure if she would succeed or not. She looked up when Misaki's phone vibrated and a voice exclaimed, "An intruder in the greenhouse!" He turned to Mikan, standing, "Sorry, but you'll have to excuse me." As he made his way out the door, he looked over his shoulder, "Hey, I'll send someone here, but if Natsume wakes up before they arrive push that emergency button at once. It's important, all right?"

Mikan smirked to herself and replied, "All right, Misaki-sensei!"

Misaki left, and Mikan turned to Natsume. She stared at him, head cocked to the side. Slowly, she stood and glided over to the sleeping boy. She sat with her back to him and pulled her messenger bag towards her and tugged a small photo out. She gazed at it and let a small, sincere smile grace her features. It was a picture of her and Hotaru when they spent the night at Mikan's for the first time.

Suddenly, there was a hard yank on her braid and she was pulled back onto the couch with Natsume over her, holding her hair. "You have five seconds to answer me. If you don't your hair goes up in flames. Who the hell are you?"

Mikan stared up at him. Natsume stared back, unsure. Opening her lips she let the words flow out before she could stop them, "You do realize that if one of the teachers walk in they're going to take our position the wrong way."

Natsume's eyes widened slightly and his cheeks tinged pink. He shifted their positions so that he was sitting on her stomach and his hand still gripped her hair. Their was a sudden crash, as someone crashed through the window. Natsume gave a slight jerk when Mikan jumped, attempting to get in a cornered animal pose. Natsume glanced at the newcomer, "...You're late...Luca."

The boy, Luca, met Natsume's gaze, "Whatever. Whose fault is that, Natsume?" Luca noticed Mikan and asked, "What're you doing? Who's she?"

Natsume kept his look blank and stated, "She was here when I woke up. She only yelps and won't tell me who she is."

Mikan glared up at him and retorted, "I did not yelp, and if you want to know who I am, ask nicely."

The two boys ignored her. "Is she an Alice?" Luca asked.

"Hmmm. Dunno," Natsume replied. He then switched their positions again, so he was hovering over her again, "Anyway, since she won't listen to me, I'm gonna make her cry."

Luca stood and brushed himself off, "Why don't you just use your Alice?"

Natsume turned his gaze to him and replied, "I can't I must be tired or something."

Just as Narumi slammed the door open, shouting, "ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, MIKAN-CHAN?!" Mikan flipped her and Natsume's position, so she was hovering over him.

She glared down at him, her braid coming undown and curtaining her face. "Give me back my panties, Natsume-kun," she growled out darkly.

Narumi and Misaki blinked, did they miss something? Natsume's eyes widened slightly again, although so did Luca's. Mikan growled louder and Natsume handed her black undies back. Mikan clambered off of him and smiled brightly at him, "Arigatou, Natsume-kun." Natsume's cheeks tinted red again. Mikan then turned to Luca and bowed, "Continue being a friend to Natsume-kun, Luca-kun, he needs one." Luca only nodded dumbly before the two boys climbed out the window.

Narumi gave a shake of his head and handed Mikan the uniform, "Why don't you go try this on?"

Mikan ran a critical eye over it, "Can I modify it Narumi-sensei?" Looking confused Narumi only shrugged while he nodded. Mikan smirked at him and went to change. She came back out soon, the uniform modified slightly. The skirt was left alone, but the sleeves of the jacket were rolled up to the elbows, the shoes were replaced with her boots, but black and white striped upper-thigh length tights were protruding from them. The jacket was also open, revealing a simple black camisole underneath. The collor was folded multiple times so that it was like a polo shirt, and the ribbon was retying her hair in a braid.

She twirled in a slow circle in front of them. "This is alright, right senseis?"

The two nodded and Narumi gave a shout of "KAWAII!!"

Before he could continue a voice sounded from the door, "Excuse me, sir. We're the class presidents from elementry division class B. May we come in?"

Narumi turned to the door, "Ah, here they are."

Mikan watched with madly glinting eyes as Hotaru and a boy she did not know walk in. "How may we help you?" Hotaru asked.

Mikan's glint grew brighter nad eviler before she pounced. She glomped Hotaru with a shout of said girl's name. Soon Mikan had Hotaru in a headlock and was giving her a noogie. Her smile was bright, but there was a suspicious tick mark pulsing on her forehead, "Hooootaaaaaruuuu! How the hell could you forget to tell the chaporone that I had three Alice's and forgot to bring me with you!!!??"

Hotaru's face remained blank as she was noogied, "I actually forgot about that, and they wouldn't listen to me when I tried to tell them."

Mikan moved so she was in front of her best friend, a sincere smile on her face. "I'm just glad you tried, now let's go to my new class!"
