Next day

Morning classes

It was late morning and everyone was in their appropriate seats listening to Narumi-sensei speak. If you look around you can see everything was in order, everyone was behaving and listening, but there seemed to be something odd.

In the back there was a certain brunette missing while in the front there was a stoic looking girl restless in her seat.

.

Suddenly a loud Knock was heard in the front of the room.

"Okay class I have an announcement." Narumi announced to the class after he closed the lesson book in his hands.

"We have 2 new classmates, Please come in."

An emotionless teen came in with high school uniform put on neatly except for the fact his tie wasn't tied, He had messy blond hair, Aqua blue eyes and was holding a small cute white bunny. Behind him followed another emotionlessly teen with crimson red orbs, who was wearing his school uniform messily, at the end making him look now the girls were drooling and boys were envious

"Okay class these two are our new classmates, please introduce yourselves" Narumi told them.

"Ruka Hyuuga.17 yrs old, Animal pheromone alice, 3 stars Somatic type."

"Natsume Hyuuga 18 yrs old Fire alice, special star, dangerous ability type"

Once Narumi had finished calming down the crazy drooling fan girls he spoke,

"Now let's see, who will like to be their partner?"

The whole girl population but Hotaru and Mikan who wasn't there, raised their hand.

"Naru we don't want any fan girls." Natsume warned Narumi quietly

"That's very hard thing to ask for." He replied as he looked around, sweat dropping anime style. Then a sudden light bulb appeared above his head but slowly dimmed

"But she isn't here." He thought sadly when the door suddenly slammed open catching the whole class attention.

At first you couldn't see who it was, but their shadow. After a minute or two the person came in, it was a girl to be exact.

She was holding on to the side of the door, you can tell she was having a little bit of difficulty to walk if you payed close attention to her. Her long auburn hair reach her waist and was wearing the school's uniform messily making her look hot in a way. She was well develop and had curves in all the right places; after a second she let go of the door's side and stood up straight her hands in her skirt she walked by the students started murmuring She had bruises and cuts all over her body and was wearing a simple but pure white cat mask. The brunette silently walked to her seat, ignoring all the stares and murmurs she quietly sat down.

"She's wearing the punishment mask again" A random girl whisper to another girl

"I heard she try to escape with Imai-san Yesterday." A teen boy told his friend

"Persona probably caught her again since he's the only one that puts that mask. Besides that it prevents you form using your Alice or disobeying teachers, every time you do it doubles the shock." The teen replied quietly

"She must have taken Ima-san's punishment too since Imai-san doesn't have a scratch on her." They kept murmuring on

The teens who were murmuring were in the front thus leading to Natsume and Ruka to hear their small conversation.

Hotaru quickly got up, going straight to the brunette without even asking Mikanspoke

"I'm fine, don't worry" She emotionlessly reassured her best friend. She could not show weakness or risk passing out from the pain.

The two boys in the front were silent, something had just clicked in their mind simultaneously as they looked each other. the class kept murmuring and whispering, getting louder by the minute.

BAM!

was the sound the kicked desk had made when it was hit.

The class fell silent, they had forgotten for a minute the fact that Mikan

Is always, very pissed when she's wearing the mask.

"….."

Satisfied at the silence she proceed to take sit down again and simply took out a foreign book to read.

"Ahem.." Narumi fake cough to get everyone's attention back.

"Like I was saying before we were rudely interrupted." He said glancing at Mikan, while she just proceeded to ignore him as usual.

"I have decided on our two new classmates partners; Ruka Hyuuga's partner will be Imai-san

And Natsume Hyuuga's will be …Mikan Sakura."

The whole class broke out

With "What's?" and "Whys?"

"Now please Imai-san and Sakura-san raise your hand so they could know who their partners are."

But Narumi was met with silence as the girls refused to cooperate.

This act made Natsume raise his eyebrow and Ruka curious.

Girls would kill to sit next to them and now there were two girls who didn't want to be their partner, 'Interesting'.

"Ahem I repeat Imai-san and Sakura-san raise your hand so they know who you are." Narumi repeated

Mikan threw a small dagger that almost hit Narumi, While Hotaru use her Baka Gun and shot girls glared at him Narumi sweat dropped along with the whole class.

"well then Okay Natsume Sit next to Sakura-san in the back, Ruka Sit next Imai-san who sits in the 3rd row.

The Teens obeyed and went to their assigned seats.

Mikan who was still reading and Hotaru who was writing out blue prints ignored the boys as they sat down next to them.

Natsume put his feet on top of the table and manga on top of his face,

As his style, while Ruka just sat regularly playing with his bunny. They two boys didn't notice the fact that girls they were sitting next to were in fact doing inventor was holding her pencil in her hand but it wasn't moving Our brunette wasn't reading but simply looking at the of them were in deep thought

Flash Back

"Unless, you want to make a deal," Persona declared. His grip got harder on Hotaru, making her wince from the pain.

Mikan raised her eyebrow.

"Sakura Mikan doesn't make deals," Mikan quickly snapped back at Persona icily, her Beretta 92s still pointed at him.

"But there's always that exception," Persona told her with an evil smirk plaster on his face.

What do you want Persona? She quickly snapped back at him

"Oh nothing much, just a quick chat inside care to join me?" He casually replied but was Creating a Black ball in his palm right next To Hotaru.

Mikan silently sighed inwards she knew it was over and couldn't escape, At least not yet.

"Fine, But let me make this clear She isn't receiving any kind of punishment. That's the only condition to go back in, I'll take it instead got it?" she told him icily

Persona smirked. He knew he had her right where he wanted her, like a killer pawn in a chess game.

"Very well I agree to your terms but you know that means you're getting triple your punishment." He told her making the black ball in his palm smaller.

"Yeah I know." Mikan quietly said after she put her Berettas 92 away.

Persona led the 2 girls back into the academy stopping to turn around to look at Mikan

"Shiro Neko you know when and where for your punishment.

We will make our deal tomorrow" he said with a smirk as he walked away from them.

End of Flashback

Hotaru snapped out of her memories when she felt something jump on her lap,

She realised it was bunny and gave it a small rare smile she usually only shows to Mikan.

Making the bunny blush a little as she petted him But what she didn't realise the teenage boy who was sitting next to her was blushing as he saw her smile at the bunny he quickly looked away.

Meanwhile Mikan was still deep in thought remembering the punishment she was given and how Persona told her they still had to talk about the deal. She snapped out of her thoughts when she realised the class was getting loud again, she silently sighed annoyed.

Naru wasn't there anymore and the class was doing their own thing.

She closed her book rather loudly making the class fall silent again and making everyone turn around to look at her, which also made Natsume's manga to slide down his face.

The only person who didn't turn around was Hotaru

"Hotaru who is the next teacher?" Mikan ask in a bored tone

"Jinno" the inventor replied after she stop petting the bunny for a minute.

"Let's go." She simply said after she put away her book

Hotaru didn't say anything. She petted the bunny one last time and gave it to the boy who was sitting next to her.

"He's your right bunny boy?"

Ruka was silent for a moment trying to figure out what she meant by remained silent and nodded taking his bunny mumbled a small "thanks" after Hotaru packed her stuff in her school bag. She didn't reply or anything but got up and walked towards the door.

Mikan got up as well and was about to walk towards the door when she couldn't was holding her back or more like someone was holding her turned around to see Natsume Holding her hand while smirking

"Where do you think you're going polka dots?"
