Hello everyone. So this is the second chapter. One thing I wanted to say. In the first chapter, I wrote that Mikan and Natsume are nine but i meant for them to be 10. Its not really that big of a diff., but it'll affect the whole X years later so keep that in mind!

Mikan's grandpa went to check the mail early morning like he did everyday. One, however caught him to surprise. He turned to the raven haired boy that the letter belonged to and said, "Natsume, there's a letter in the mail for you."

"A letter…for me?" Natsume asked confused and startled. He took the letter from the ojii-chan. A month had passed since he moved and yet he hadn't received any mail this whole time. He assumed no one knew where he was.

His eyes widened as he read the name of the sender. Aoi Hyuga.

Dear Onee-chan,

I only recently found out about your location. I miss you a lot. Please come back soon. I know you had to leave because of the fire, but the townspeople will forgive you if you apologize.

He scoffed. If only things were that simple. His neighbors always saw him as a monster, because of his alice, and were just waiting for an excuse to kick him out.

Another thing, those men came back to our house last week. They were looking for you again, but we told them we don't know where you are. We did good right? Dad wanted to write a message to you.

Natsume this is your dad. Don't ever use your alice again cause it might lead them to you and don't tell anyone about your alice, even the people who you are living with. The less people that know about it the better.

That was the end of the letter. He sighed. Even though he should be scared after hearing those people are still after him, he wasn't. He couldn't help but feel happy to hear from his sister. Even though she may be annoying at times and they got into a lot of fights, there wasn't anyone he missed more right now than her.

"Ne Natsume what're you doing? Ooh is that a letter? From who?" Mikan asked amused. Her face was now leaning on his shoulder next to his face trying to peek through.

He quickly stood up hiding the letter behind his back. His shoulder hit her chin as he got up and the sudden movement caused her to fall backwards. "None of your business polka dots."

She was rubbing her chin, but froze after hearing the last words. She slowly looked down noticing her dress had lifted from one side showing some of her underwear.

She screamed and started crying while running to go hug her grandfather.

"There there. It's ok. It was an accident right? So it doesn't count. You can still get married."

"R-r-really?" Mikan asked while wiping her tears.

Natsume rolled his eyes at the bizarre conversation he was hearing and went back to his room.

During recess in Mikan's school…. Mikan was happily swinging alone when a group of boys approached her. She wasn't happy about it, because these guys weren't nice at all.

As soon as they came by the swings, they indicated with their hands for everyone to move off. The kids obediently moved, all except Mikan of course.

One of the guys yelled out, "Yo two pony tail girl move out of the swing."

"But I was here first," Mikan stated, annoyed at their attitude.

"Yea and now you'll be the first to leave." The second guy added.

"No."

"No?" He asked, in a rather threatening manner.

Mikan simply nodded. The kids nearby were now staring at the scene shocked. If it had been any other girl, or even boy, they would have just listened and moved, but she actually had the courage to stand up to them.

The third boy pushed her from the back causing her to fall flat on her face.

"Hey!" Mikan shouted. The boys were laughing at her while getting on the swings. It looked like they had more fun moving people to get the swings than actually swinging.

No kid watching the scene was surprised. This was the expected outcome after all.

"If you don't move, you're just going to be kicked with woodchucks." The kid said while kicking a few at her laughing.

Just then, a ball of mud flew right at the boy's face. Mikan turned to see where it came from. She was astonished to say the least when she saw Natsume standing across with some leftover mud on his hand.

The kids that were moved from their swings and a few others cheered for him.

The boy wiped the mud off his face and angrily walked towards him. His two peers followed him.

"Do you know who we are?" The boy asked, making it sound more like a statement than a question.

"No." Natsume replied coolly.

The boy flinched as if that itself hurt his pride. "I'll let that go because you're a new kid."

"No one dares to fight one of us," the second boy said.

"Unless you want a bloody nose," the third kid added.

Natsume stood there calm. If I used my alice to scare them off, they'd leave me alone for sure. But then he remembered his family's warning from the letter. He also didn't want to be expelled from yet another school. He didn't want to start a fist fight so he turned to leave.

"Look at that. He's looking down on us." The boy said raising a fist to punch him.

"That's enough." They turned to see that it was their homeroom teacher. "You three to the office NOW."

Next to the teacher standing was Mikan. She had a big smile on her face. One reason was for busting them and the other was because Natsume stood up for her.

Natsume walked away, but was stopped with Mikan's hand.

"What?" Natsume asked with the angry look he always had on his face.

"Natsume thank you for standing up for me." Her smile was now even bigger than it was before.

"…Whatever," he muttered.

They headed back to class together. "Ne Natsume..." And so she talks on and on.

About the last scene when she thanks Natsume, I made one page out of Gakuen Alice manga pics to sorta look like how it would when she'd thank him. This is completely fan made, so that means there is no page in the gakuen manga that looks like this. CHeck it out on my profile, because we can't post links here.

OH RIGHT. and tell me what you thought about the chap. :)
