August 28-12:23 a.m.

"Whew! We're finally here!" exclaimed Ruka.

"This isn't a bad apartment I guess..." said Natsume.

Natsume looked around. The beds were both in two different rooms, twin sized. Both rooms had closets to put clothes in. The living room had one couch and a flat-screen T.V. The kitchen was barely big enough to fit two people.

"Let's look at the note Persona gave us Natsume," said Ruka.

"Sure..."

Note:

The school you are attending is called Sakurai High. The class number you're in is class directions to the school are on the back of this page. It is not far from were you are right now. The uniforms are in your closet. I had Luna prepare everything for you alreadly so you should be fine. There is a year supply of money placed on the table in the living room. Make sure you use it wisely. Remember the consequences if you do not compete this task by August 28 next year.

- Persona

P.S. Mikan Sakura may not be in the same school or city, which is why I gave you a whole year to complete this task. Please kill her as soon as you see her.

"Ugh, really? Can't they just track her using the human navigator item or something?" said Natsume with an annoyed look on his face.

"Natsume, you know how much those cost right?" replied Ruka.

"Yeh, yeh I know 100,000,000,000 rabbits, but shouldn't the school have that much money already?"

"I dunno, may be they're trying to test us or something."

"Hmph, they should know my abilities by now."

"Anyways, let's go to sleep and look for her after school tomorrow!" exclaimed Ruka.

"Whatever."

August 28 - 7:02 a.m.

"NATSUME! Get up already! I've been calling you to get up for more than 14 minutes!" shouted Ruka.

"Okay, okay I'm up," replied Natsume.

"Get dressed I made breakfast for you already."

"Mmm"

Natsume watched Ruka walk out his room and looked in his closet for the first time. There in the middle was his new uniform. "Eh? How boring, a regular black blazer any high schooler would wear hmm?" thought Natsume.

-At the Kitchen Table- 7:15 a.m.

"Oh, you're finally up Natsume! Here I made omelettes for us," said Ruka.

"You sound like my mom..." grumbled Natsume.

"Hey! That's mean!"

"Blah! Whatever."

"Oh well, I forgive you anyway. By the way, that uniform actually looks great on you but shouldn't you be wearing a tie?" asked Ruka.

"I don't wear ties..." replied Natsume.

Ruka sighed, "Alright then, your own fault if you get in trouble by our new sensei."

August 28 - 7:23 a.m.

"Ugh, school is starting in 7 minutes and we're already lost," grumbled Natsume. He glared at Ruka who was in charge of the map.

"Hey! It's not my fault! My whole life I've been stuck in a little academy so how should I know?!" yelled Ruka nervously.

"Well same here you know."

"Umm... excuse me but may I help you?" asked a young female voice.

Natsume and Ruka turned around. Natsume stared at the girl. He saw the same beautiful hazel eyes and pig-tails he saw in the picture Persona showed them two days ago. Natsume felt his heart beating loudly. "What is this feeling?" wondered Natsume, "Wait a second... could this be the Mikan Sakura they were looking for?"

The girl noticed the two boys staring at her oddly."I-I'm sorry! I thought I could help you because you were wearing the same uniform as me...um... would you like my help?" said the girl.

"Y-yes, please help us," replied Ruka with a slight blush.

Natsume noticed the female version of his uniform was basically the same thing, just with a white blazer and a skirt instead of pants.

"Oh yeah! My name is Mikan Sakura by the way!" exclaimed the girl.

Natsume and Ruka were utterly shocked. This girl who was kind enough to approach them to help them was the same girl they were to kill. There was no doubt about it. The same color of brown hair, the same beautiful hazel eyes, abd the same name. They couldn't believe it.

"Oh um is there something wrong?" asked Mikan.

"No, nothing... thanks..." replied Natsume.

"Heh, your welcome!"

Ruka was surprised. He never in his life heard Natsume say the word "thanks" except to him of course.

-7:28 a.m.-

"Oh... Um... here we are!" exclaimed Mikan, "Welcome to Sakurai High!"

Natsume looked at the school, it was big for a school in the human world but compared to Alice Academy it was nothing.

"It looks pretty small..." said Natsume.

"... It's actually one of the biggest schools in Japan you know..." said Mikan dumbfounded by Natsume's reaction to the school, "Oh yeah, what's your class numbers? I can lead you to them."

"Class number 3A." replied Ruka.

"Hey that's the same class as me! Perfect! Then I won't be late! Hurry let's go! We only have a minute to spare!"

-7:31 a.m.-

Mikan, Natsume, and Ruka quickly ran across the hallways to see the sign saying 3A. Mikan slammed the door opened.

"Ah! You're actually earlier than usual Mikan!" said their new homeroom teacher, "I see you bought the new transfer students as well!"

Natsume ignored all the stares from the girls and saw many boys staring at Mikan. "Man, there are a lot of guys that like this pig-tailed girl... Strange..." thought Natsume.

"Narumi-sensei! Sorry I'm late!" exclaimed Mikan.

"It's okay, I won't mark you down this time since you lead the transfer students here. Now, take your seat," replied Narumi-sensei with a calming voice.

"Hai!"

Natsume stared at his new homeroom teacher. Narumi-sensei was wearing an odd pink-colored dress. "Is this just some cross-dressing guy or a flat-chested girl?" he thought to himself.

"Okay! Let me introduce to you our new transfer students Natsume Hyuuga and Ruka Nogi," said Narumi-sensei who was unknown to be a guy or a girl.

"Um... I'm Ruka Nogi! P-please t-take care of me!" said Ruka nervously.

"Kyah! How cute! He's so shy! I'm in love with him already!" whisphered the many girls in the class.

"Natsume Hyuuga," said Natsume with his signature cold glare.

"Wah! I like him better though! He's so cold and cool!" whisphered the girls.

"Please take your seats behind Sakura-san, Nogi-san and Hyuuga-san," said Narumi-sensei.

"O-okay!"

"Whatever."

Natsume and Ruka walked towards their seats and sat behind Mikan, just as instructed.

-Lunch-12:01 p.m.

"You're all dismissed," said Narumi-sensei.

"Hai!" said all the students in unison.

"I'll lead you to the cafeteria, just follow me!" exclaimed Mikan.

Natsume sighed, "When did you become the lea-"

"KYAHHHH!"

"Sakura-san! Are you alright?!"said Ruka worriedly.

"Oy... Polka dot panties," said Natsume.

"... HEY YOU PERVERT!" Mikan attempted to punch Natsume but Natsume blocked her fist with his hand.

"Hmm? What was that?"asked Natsume.

"Ugh! What gives?! Staring at my panties you pervert!"

"It's not my fault you stuck them in front of my face."

"Umm... Sakura-san... please forgive him won't you?"asked Ruka.

"Hmph. I won't forgive you, you idiotic pervert!"shouted Mikan, "Let's go to the cafeteria Nogi-kun."

"What about Natsume? Hey Sakura-san! Wait up!"

Mikan walked away quickly while dragging Ruka along with her. Natsume stayed behind. "Geez, it's not my fault she stuck her butt at me..."

"Hey... you..."

Natsume turned around to see a girl with short black hair. "What do you want?"asked Natsume angrily.

"Please apologize to Mikan."

"Why should I?"

"Please."

"I refuse, it's not my fault so I won't apologize. "

"... Your choice... I'll lead you to the cafeteria..."

"Sure..."

"For 100 yen..."

"..."

-Cafeteria- 12:12 p.m.

"Ah! Hotaru! Over here!"shouted Mikan.

"I brought Hyuuga-kun with me..."said Hotaru.

"So her name is Hotaru?"thought Natsume.

"What that pervert? Hmph." Mikan was obviously not happy to see him there.

"Umm... Let's eat!"said Ruka trying to light up the mood.

"Sure,"replied Natsume.

"How many rabbits does a lunch cost?"asked Ruka.

"Rabbits? What are you talking about?"asked Mikan who was very confused.

"Rabbits are only in the Alice World Ruka,"whisphered Natsume.

"I mean yen! Haha my bad!"said Ruka quickly correcting himself while scratching the back of his head.

"How does someone mess up yen with rabbits?"wondered Hotaru.

"Oh! 300 yen for the small size, 400 yen for the medium size, and 500 yen for the large,"replied Mikan.

"Come on Ruka, let's go buy lunch,"said Natsume.

"Okay."

Natsume waited for Ruka and him to walk further away from Mikan and Hotaru before saying anything. "Baka! We only use rabbits in our world!"he hissed.

"Sorry! I got too use to saying rabbits!"

When Natsume came back he saw another person at their table. "Who are you?"asked Natsume rudely.

"My name is Kokoroyumi Kurusu. Just call me Koko. I'm Hotaru and Mikan's childhood friend! Class 3B."replied Koko.

Natsume felt a slash of jealously and hated Koko already. "Hmph."

"I'm sorry! He doesn't get along with people easily!"said Ruka, "ummm... This is Natsume Hyuuga, my childhood friend. I'm Ruka Nogi!"

"That's fine! Hotaru is like that too!"replied Koko.

"... Excuse me? What did you just say about me?"asked Hotaru with a glare in her violet eyes.

"S-sorry!"

-Afterschool-3:30 p.m.

"First day of school and I already have clean up duty?"grumbled Natsume.

"Whatever pervert, it's not like I wanna clean up with you either,"grumbled Mikan.

"...Sorry..."whisphered Natsume.

"What was that?"

"Nothing..."

Mikan smiled, "It's okay Hyuuga-kun."

"Just call me Natsume..."

"Umm... ok N-Natsume!" Mikan could feel her heart racing. "What is this feeling?"she wondered.

Natsume could hear his own heart beat loudly when he heard her say his name. "Ugh, I wonder if I'm sick today,"thought Natsume.

"Umm... You can call me Mikan if you want..."

"M...Mi...Mik... Can I call you Polka dots instead?" Natsume couldn't call her Mikan, whenever he tried his heart felt like it was going to burst into pieces.

"... whatever, I don't really care anymore. "

"...Looks like we're done... I'll walk you home..."

"No! I mean you don't have to!"shouted Mikan with red cheeks.

"It's to repay you for this morning... besides you look sick, you're all red." Natsume went up to Mikan and touched her forehead.

"Umm... ok... thanks!"replied Mikan with an even redder face.

-Sidewalk- 4:15 p.m.

Mikan and Natsume walked together in silence."I better say something! Come on! Think Mikan! THINK!"she thought to herself.

"Hey..."said Natsume.

"Ah! Um... yeh?"

"I.. um... thanks... I had fun today..."

"Haha, you're welcome!"

"Um..."

"Yeh? What is it?"

"No... Nothing... Forget it."

"Ok? Oh here's my house! Um... thanks for being me home!"

"Sure."

Natsume started walking off but was startled by Mikan's voice.

"Wait!"shouted Mikan.

Natsume looked behind him to see Mikan.

"Umm... um... um... I had fun today too! Um... Bye!"

"Hmph, bye,"said Natsume with a smile.

Mikan blushed, "That's the first time I've ever seen him smile today..."she said to herself.

-Natsume and Ruka's Apartment-4:45 p.m.

"Oh, Natsume! You're back! I ordered dinner from a ramen shop today!"said Ruka.

"Hmm... thanks..."replied Natsume.

Natsume and Ruka ate in silence until Ruka talked, "Hey, you know how we have to kill Sakura-san?"

Natsume totally forgot about that.

"I um... honesty don't want to kill her... at least not now..."said Ruka.

"We have a whole year,"replied Natsume, "it's not like Persona is going to know we found her already. We don't have to kill her now."

"Yeah, you're right, Natsume."

Little did they know Persona was watching them from a projector.

-Meanwhile at Alice Academy-

"Those brats! I'll just send things to kill her myself!"said Persona angrily.

"Yes, I agree," said Luna.
