Me: Ahhh! Another chapter!

Natsume: When do I appear?

Me: Soon, very soon… Maybe in this one, or the next, or the next…

Akihito: Awe, but if he doesn't show up I can have Mika-ko!

Mikan: Don't call me that!

Natsume: Who'd want that baka anyway? Besides me, of course. Get your own baka, lover boy.

Akihito: You can't tell me what to do!

Natsume:-smiles evilly while holding a fireball in his hand- Wanna bet? I'll roast you alive.

Ruka: Hisako-San owns none of the characters, except Akihito. She can have him. Nor does she own Gakuen Alice, but if she wanted to change the plot on fanfiction and kill off Akihito, she can with blessings of many….

Me: Uh, arigato, Ruka-pyon…I hope.

2. Classroom Disruption

Mikan Sakura had had enough of Akihito, but she couldn't be mean for long. She wished Natsume would just hurry and come back.

"Narumi-sensei, is there nothing I can do?" she asked her adoptive father.

"Mikan-chan, I have tried everything, even using my Alice. His own Pheromones canceled mine out. It was rather annoying," Narumi-sensei said.

"I see. Then, could you tell me when he is scheduled to return?" she asked.

"He? Oh! The Black Cat is to return today or tomorrow. I overheard Akuhei-san speaking about it to Jinno-sensei. But, please Mikan-chan, don't get your hopes up for today or tomorrow morning for that matter. I don't like to see you sad."

Mikan smiled, "I won't. Bye, Sensei!"

But you already have, Narumi-sensei thought with a sad smile.

Mikan had decided to go to the gates and wait. It was late afternoon and the sun was still scorching down.

Yoichi Hijiri was in his third year of middle school. He had turned out quite handsome and still had the Natsume Jr. attitude. He spotted Mikan at the gates and wondered what she was up to. He didn't like that guys were always pestering her. After all, she and Natsume had become like parents to him and he even called Mikan 'Mom'.

A.N.: I WILL NO LONGER USE HONORIFICS FOR THIS STORY. KEEP THAT IN MIND. MY KEYBOARD IS ACTING UP AND IT'D BE EASIER NOT TO USE THEM. THANKS, GUYS (:

"Mom, what are you doing?" Yoichi asked as he approached her.

She jumped in surprise, "Ah, Yoichi! You scared me. I'm just waiting for…for Natsume."

He could hear the pain behind Natsume's name. He wished that his father figure would return to Mikan soon. Though Mikan and Natsume were not dating, he could see that they loved each other.

"Oh, well why don't we sit on the benches and wait together," he suggested. Mikan smiled appreciatively. They walked over and sat by the gates.

"So, what's on your mind lately? You seemed kind of…distant the other day," Mikan pointed out.

"Ah, that. I was wondering how lonely I'll be without you or Natsume here next year," he said in a sad voice. In all honesty, he did not wish to be apart from either of them, but especially Mikan.

"Yoichi, when I graduate, if you want to I'll sneak you out of the academy with me and I'll raise you outside the school. You can have a normal life. I if you don't want to, I'll still write to you and I'll send you things and I'll be here the moment you graduate," Mikan told him.

Mikan would miss Yoichi and did want him to come with her, out of this school. She wanted to be a family. She loved Yoichi as if he were her son and wanted him happy.

Yoichi smiled, "I'll come with you. I don't want to be here without my mom."

"Then it's a promise," Mikan said with a true smile.

"What's a promise?" Akihito asked, seeming to appear from nowhere.

"That Natsume is going to kill you," Yoichi shot angrily at the blonde.

"Agh! Who is this Natsume fellow?" he asked, irritated.

"You'll find out soon enough. Mom, let me take you back to your room," Yoichi said.

Mikan sighed, but agreed. It was no use. Natsume was going to be there any time soon.

The next day….

Mikan had sat at her seat, slightly jumpy. Natsume would be there for sure some time that day.

She looked out the window at the cherry blossom tree. It brought back a lot of memories, good and bad. She smiled to herself.

"Hello, princess, what are you smiling about? Have you found your undying love for me?" Akihito asked from in front of her seat. She sat alone at the long table because Natsume was no longer there, for now anyway.

"Not at all," she said, being brutally honest.

"Yo, Mikan, why don't you go out with me? We'll have lots of fun," one guy said.

"Nah, she'd rather go with me, right Mikan?" another said.

"No, since she so hot, she'd rather be with someone with looks," yet another said.

"I can imagine what she'd sound like, crying out my name~," the first said in a sing-song voice.

Mikan was rather disgusted. Narumi wasn't in the room to save her. Besides the fact she was disgusted, it was entirely too hot in the classroom. It had been going on for a few minutes now. When was the air conditioner going to turn on? She fanned herself with her hand.

"Mikan, if it's so hot, then why don't you take everything off?" a guy questioned.

The room felt like a sauna. That's when she noticed the air had been on the entire time.

"Natsume..," Mikan said softly. It got deadly quiet.

At the door of the room, Natsume stood, just as handsome (and angry) as ever. Waves of fury rolled off of him. The room was hot do to his Fire Alice. His crimson eyes like flames themselves, danced with fury.

"What…What did you guys just say to Mikan?" he growled.

No answer.

"Oh, come now, don't be shy. I won't bite," Natsume said.

Mikan couldn't control the urge to run and hug Natsume any longer. She ran up and hugged him, sunning the male population. She never did that sort of thing.

"Who the hell is that guy?" Akihito asked angrily.

"T-that i-is N-natsume Hyuuga," one boy stuttered out fearfully.

Natsume was shocked at Mikan's actions, but wrapped one arm around her, the other he was using to hold flames.

"I'm going to roast every guy who dared defy my direct orders. I wonder if I did not make myself clear enough," Natsume said.

Natsume's eyes scanned the room and found Akihito.

"You're that perverted teacher's brother, aren't you?" he guessed.

"Natsume, don't say bad things about Narumi!" Mikan scolded.

"Hn. But you're his relative, no?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm Narumi's younger and hotter younger brother, Akihito," Akihito said smugly.

"You started this mess. You've caused Mikan problems. I'm going to roast you alive," Natsume said.

Natsume was about to attack, but Ruka ran into the room.

"Natsume! Mikan! Hurry, Yoichi's in a fight and he's bleeding!" Ruka yelled.

Natsume and Mikan looked at each other, and then took off running to where Ruka led them.

What was going on? Why was Yoichi fighting?

A/N: Review? Was it better than chapter one? Worse?
