Author's Note:

Hi guys! Sorry to tell you but Ayane is really a Mary Sue. But I still hope you'll like the story. I'd like to say thank you to those who reviewed the first chapter of my story. Finally I updated. After what seems like forever, I will try to finish the story. Anyway, here's chapter two of The New Student. OOC-ness may occur.


Chapter Two:

"She has no right to do that to Natsume! Who does she think she is?!" Sumire angrily said and shoved her table. "This new girl is totally nuts!"

Mikan trembled. What's gonna happen to Ayane and Natsume? She turned to Hotaru. "Hotaru, aren't you anxious?"

Hotaru didn't glance at her, pretending she didn't hear anything. Then she finally gave a meaningful glance at Mikan. "Nullify," she said softly and turned her attention back to her work.

Mikan blinked. "What?" she asked and stepped forward to Hotaru. "Nullify?"

"Try to nullify the girl's alice and this will stop," Hotaru repeated. "I might consider it as a gift from you to stop the new girl's delusions."

Mikan smiled. "If I nullify that….you'll go on a date with me?!" she said and danced around happily. "Oh Hotaru! I'm so happy!"

"Mikan, I didn't say anything about dating with you."

"Hotaru!"

"Mikan, I didn't say anything about dating with you."

"Oh I'm so happy! A date! A date with my best friend!"

Something hard knocked Mikan on the head. It was Hotaru's usual hobby to punch Mikan with her horse-shoe gloves. "I didn't say anything about dating with you. Go there and nullify the girl's alice."

Mikan stood up from the floor, rubbing her head. "Okay!" Hotaru's counting on me! Everyone's counting on me! She thought as she slowly walked towards Ayane and Natsume. Fire and water. Ayane's in big trouble. Natsume's alice is a strong one. I'm sure Ayane won't win against him! I've got to do something and fast! Mikan gulped. She saw Natsume's eyes fixed on Ayane's. She couldn't read his expression. Anger? Fright? Sadness? She couldn't figure out what.

Then Ayane raised her left hand. The water dragon stood up proudly across the room. Then, laid its eyes on Mikan. "What's wrong?" Ayane asked her dragon and glanced where it was looking.

Natsume glanced at her too. Then Mikan read his expressions clearly. Anger. At her? Or at Ayane? Without any word the dragon from Ayane's hand attacked her. Her eyes widened.

"Hey!" Ayane cried as if she wasn't the one controlling the dragon. Natsume ran towards her holding a big ball of fire.

"STOP IT!"


Hotaru stood up from her seat when she saw a big light form from the scene. "Mikan!" she said. As the light fades she saw what had happen. Mikan was still standing up. She wasn't hurt. Ayane was sitting on the floor, eyes widened. Natsume was also standing.

"Nullification alice worked again!" Yuu cried happily and hugged Mikan. Their classmates ran and surrounded Mikan. Sumire came to Natsume. "Oh, Natsume! You got me worried!" she said happily. She was about to hug Natsume, when the latter moved away from her which cause her to fall down on the floor.

Natsume walked towards Ayane. He eyed her.

Ayane was still shocked. My water dragon! No one has ever defeated me in battle! She glanced at Mikan angrily. This is all her fault! She stood up and walked towards the group of alices celebrating Mikan's heroic act. Was that heroic? All she did was stand up there and say 'stop it'! What really did happen? "Congratulations Nullifying Girl. You just ruined my battle." She said and gave Mikan a smirk.

The crowd stood still waiting for what happens next.

Natsume placed his hands on his pockets. Ruka was with him. "Are you okay Natsume?" he asked. Natsume only nodded.

"Look here Ms. New Girl! If I were you back off. You can't just barge into our classroom telling everyone what to do. You caused a lot of damage. And Natsume could have been hurt. It was right decision for Mikan to nullify your pathetic alice!" Sumire snapped.

All eyes were fixed on Ayane.

"You still don't have the right to interfere with my –"

"Stop your delusions," Hotaru interrupted.

"That's right! We don't want you here!" some kids started to say. Ayane angrily looked at them. Finally she sighed. And smiled, her eyebrows raised. "Well fine! I know when to quit and I know when I'm not wanted." She said and shoved her hair back. She went out of the room.

Mikan watched Ayane walked away.


Ayane was sitting at the balcony of the dormitory. So far she didn't have any room to go since her star level had not been decided yet. "Maybe I'll be a no star, and then I will be once again humiliated." She whispered and buried her face on her knees.

"Hey there Ayane." She heard someone say.

She glanced behind her. "What?" she snapped when she saw Mikan. "You came here to kick me out of the room again?"

Mikan smiled and sat beside her. "You're never alone."

"W-what?"

"I was once unwanted by my classmates, probably because I was a no star student when I first came in here. Unwanted, probably because of my weird alice." Mikan said and smile. "But as soon as I start opening my heart and tried to understand my classmates, I learned that I was never unwanted." She added. "I started to like them, and they started to like me."

"You're a no star?" Ayane asked Mikan.

"No. I'm a one star student." Mikan replied.

"Your classmates are lunatics. I can never bond with anybody." Ayane said, trying to sound tough. But her voice shook.

"Why's that?"

"Because I'm a spoiled brat from a rich family. I get what I want." Ayane said. "And everyone hates me because of my special ability to control water. Don't worry. I'm fine communicating with my water dragon. I'm never alone. So I don't need you guys." She added.

"Really?" Mikan asked.

"Really. I don't need friends. I managed to live without any friends for 12 years. Why should I need you and your classmates?" Ayane asked. Without any word Mikan pulled her hand.

Mikan smiled. "If you need me….you can always call me, okay?" she said and left Ayane.

Ayane involuntarily smiled. I shouldn't be smiling about that girl! She thought and shook her head. "I don't need you! I don't need any of you!" she shouted as if Mikan would hear her. Then she looked at the sky.

That girl Mikan, I like her…Mikan Sakura, eh? Interesting.

"So what do you think, water dragon, should I trust her?"
