Hey everyone!

Well, I was never gone so that's kind of stupid introduction. -cough- Anyways, enjoy the next
chapter, I'm going to try to make this chapter and the next ones all about as long as chapter 2
was, I mean that's long enough right?

DISCLAIMER: I do not, nor ever will, own Gakuen Alice.


Summary: Ruka and Natsume were poorly treated hot bodyguards, awaiting their next customer, who happens to be Mikan Sakura. Natsume believes that this is another girl like before. Ruka thinks otherwise.

CHAPTER 3: PARTY NIGHT.

Ruka, Natsume, Mikan and her father Izumi all sat on the couch watching '1000 Ways to Die'. Over the past hours all they've done was lay around, watching cartoons, comedies, and movies.

Oh, and eating pizza.

Lots of it.

It only took about 5 slices for Mikan to give up and about 6 for Ruka. However, Natsume and Izumi had an all out eating competition, resulting in cheers of encouragement from Mikan and Ruka, the two bystanders.

Natsume actually won with 10 slices, Izumi with 9.

Mikan laughed at this due to the fact that her father was a huge pig and was beaten in an eating contest.

However, the pizza caught up with the two men about 10 minutes later. Natsume was left lying sprawled out on the couch (nearly hogging all the space) and Izumi lying on the floor, groaning.

"Dad, why are you still groaning?"

"It huuurts, Mikan."

"Natsume ate more than you though."

"But still!"

Mikan laughed at her father and looked over at Natsume. Truth be told, he didn't look too good either. Ruka, being the 'oh-so-caring-friend' asked Natsume how he was feeling, only to get the middle finger in reply, which caused Ruka to smirk.

He was so going to have a huge stomach ache tomorrow.

"Hey, Natsume! That wasn't nice, why would you flip off your best friend?"

"Cause he's stupid."

"He is not! C'mon, apologize!"

"No."

Mikan glared and then turned back to the TV, only to see a guy get his head impaled by a large deer antler. "Holy-Corn-Nugget-McCarthy!" Ruka turned to the TV to see what she meant by her weird phrase, and immediately flinched, "Ouch, that's gotta hurt."

"No kidding, Ruka." Mikan replied, covering her eyes, however, it was still noticeable that she was still peaking.

"I think it's beautiful."

Mikan turned to her father, who was now sitting on a recliner, looking better than before. Mikan gave him a 'what-the-hell' look, "Dad, did that pizza get you... I don't know... high or something?" Ruka laughed at this, which Natsume just snorted.

"No, I just love bloody stuff, that's all. You took after your mother too much, Mikan, sweet and innocent." Mikan laughed out loud for a second before her voice faded slowly, the smile wiped fresh off her face, which wasn't missed by Natsume and Ruka. Not a second later it was back on her face, sparking curiosity in Ruka, "Hey! Who wants to sing karaoke?"

"Not me." -Izumi

"Nope." - Natsume

"Sorry, Mikan." - Ruka

Mikan glared at the three men, "You guys are no fun. Not one bit!" Karaoke was out of the question. She was not going to sing for everyone all night and give herself a sore throat. They all stared at the TV for about 5 more minutes, till Ruka broke the silence, "Hey, Mikan, do you have any pets?"

Well that was totally off topic.

Mikan's eyes widened, then she turned to Ruka and smiled, nodding, "Yes, I actually do. One puppy! I don't know where she went and I totally forgot I was missing her when you two came in!" Ruka lite up immediately, he's always loved animals and for Mikan to have a dog... that overjoyed him.

"I could help you look for it. Is a boy or girl?"

"Girl."

"What kind of dog is it?"

"A Siberian husky."

"What's its name?"

Mikan smiled, "Mika!"

"Mika? That's very close to Mikan, isn't it?" Ruka asked, chuckling.

"That's because she's such an egotist who loves her name, therefore, she named her dog close to her name." Mikan froze and immediately turned to Natsume, who was smirking at her, "I was right, wasn't I?"

"No you weren't, you idiot!"

"So now I'm an idiot because I was right?"

"I told you that you weren't!"

"Right, right."

Mikan sighed and gave it up, thinking silently to herself.

Gosh, Natsume really is a jerk... he's a tough person to figure out.

Standing up, she smiled at Ruka and then began to walk to the door, "C'mon, let's go find Mika! She likes to run around the yard at nighttime, so that's probably where she is. She never has run away though, so we should find her very easily! Lets go!"

Izumi turned to his daughter, "Wait, Mikan, you shouldn't go outside at nighttime, even with Ruka. It's way to dangerous."

Mikan frowned, "But... what about Mika?" Izumi smiled at his daughter, before standing up and walking over to her, patting her head, "I'll look around for her inside the house, if she comes barking in the middle of the night, I'll let her in."

Mikan did not seem fond of this idea, however, her dad was right. What if she was held ransom if she got kidnapped? She didn't want to worry anyone, guess she'll just have to wait for Mika to return on her own.

"Alright, daddy..."

Izumi frowned at his disappointed daughter, "You know I just want you safe right?" Mikan nodded slowly. Sighing, he knelt and embraced his daughter, "Go on to bed, I told you I'll look for her, and Mika loves you dearly so I'm sure the night won't stop an eager puppy like her."

Mikan giggled slightly and kissed her father's cheek, "Night, daddy, I love you." With that she ran up the staircase while Izumi walked in the kitchen. This left Natsume and Ruka alone in the room.

"I hope her dad finds Mika."

Natsume didn't reply as the two of them walked upstairs into the bedroom. Without even sharing good nights, they turned out the lights and fell asleep.


1:23 a.m.

Natsume opened his eyes quickly and sat up. He blinked a few times to allow his eyes to adjust to the room's darkness, once he did that, he carefully and quietly stepped out of the bed and snuck out of the door.

The light downstairs was off, that meant Izumi was asleep too.

Perfect.

Natsume quietly made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen. He began to quickly dig through all the cupboards and shelves, praying they had what he was looking for. Finally, he found it...

A flashlight.

He turned it on once to make sure it was working, which it was. Nodding his head to no one, he turned it off, grabbed one last thing and walked toward the front door, opening it and sneaking out of the house and into the night,

A flashlight in the right hand, a dog treat in the left.

CHAPTER 3: END.


Is the length a big longer? I sure hope so! xD

Anyways, this story is not as good as I planned it would be, so I am truly sorry if it's quite bad.
Heck, even the cliffhanger was terrible!

Anyways, I got over 7 reviews on my second chapter and I just want to say... thank you so
very much for making my first anime story go well so far. I hope school doesn't get in my
way at all and I can finish this soon. (I still have to figure out what kind of ending I want,
like NxM or RxM and other couples to add.)

I'd like any of you to review what couples you'd like (if you even want any couples). I'd be glad to take your
responses into consideration.

Review and thanks again! ^^

~!Peace!~
