Hey minna! Ok, firstly… I. AM. SO. SOOOOOORRYYYYYYYY! I have been very busy lately with school exams/tests and whatnot. Secondly, I had the worst possible sickness a writer could get… writer's block. I didn't know what to write or how to write because I was a bit… confused and when I was finally able to write, I had places to go to and things to do. It's like I have so much to do and so little time. OOH! Would u like me to do a Christmas one-shot? Anyway, without further ado, here is the next chappie (finally!). I made it extra, extra, extra long because my recent absence. Oh yeah, one word: Reviews. I do not own Gakuen Alice… I wish I did though ^^

Keep reading! – Xet-chan

Chapter 3

Karasu's POV

"Tweet, tweet, tweeeeeeeet"

"Ugh… nooooo it's morning already" I groggily sat up from my makeshift bed. My neck and back ached like crazy after my bout of crying my eyes out. Talking about last night… oh my God. How on earth am I supposed to talk to her now? *Sigh* I'm such a baka. The sun was shining through the badly patched up window sending thick rays of sun across my face. I stretched and saw the birds singing in the trees it's such a perfect and normal day, isn't it?… WRONG. Anyway, I might as well go find something to eat. I then changed into my new clothes (courtesy of Hotaru). The pink halter-top is so not my style but I'll just have to make do because that is all I have; after all, I can't wear my bloody top. I don't like wearing tops with bloodstains all over, I mean, who does? Let's see, what's for breakfast? First I searched through the hotel's kitchen, which had dusty cupboards and shelves; nothing there. I then walk to the storeroom, it seems that I have more luck there because I see a can of beans and soup resting on one of the shelves under the sink. Disgusting, yes but as the same as my clothes, I can't afford to be picky. I then take a blunt knife (which was surprisingly and conveniently left on the dirty counter top) and start to pry open the can of soup. Kami-sama help me if get food poisoning. Hesitating a little bit, I lift the can to my mouth and pour the soup in careful not to cut my lip on the jagged edges of the can. It actually tastes all right, kind of like chicken and corn with a hint of mushrooms. I'm still hungry so I start on the can of beans. Halfway through the can I gagged and I spat out a pearly white crystal and started staring at it with an incredulous look on my face. "ARGH! WHAT THE HELL IS A STONE DOING IN A FREAKING CAN OF BEANS?!" I yelled in surprise. "...Oh well, it looks pretty. I'll just wash it and keep it." I said happily. Nooooow… what can I do… I've finished breakfast and I've gotten ready. Maybe I'll go out for a little walk and then decide what to do from there on. After all, it's not like I'm going anywhere anyway. I put the stone and my phone in my back pocket. After walking out the back entrance of the abandoned hotel, I could actually see how run-down and old the building was. I would have to find a new place soon because the hotel looked as if it was about to fall down and I don't want to fall through the floor or have the building collapse on me. I'm strolling down the concrete path and I see that the road is busy with people hurrying to work and school with briefcases and bags. I pushed through the usual hustle bustle of the morning crowd and arrived at a peaceful park. Which was not peaceful at all. It turns out that the local kindergarten is having a picnic morning tea for the children and parents. Geez, how hard is it to find a peaceful place in this suburb? Making the decision to wander into a quiet back street, I walk past what looks like a big school that had high walls around it. Tch, must be a school for rich and know-it-all snobs. On the other hand, I can't talk because my family is rich but we aren't snobs like other well-to-do families. Suddenly, a scream cut into the silence. I quickly ran to the noise and saw an innocent brunette who looked my age and had her hair in pigtails and brown deer eyes getting forced into a suspicious truck by some weirdos with shades.

"Get off me! It told you, I go to this school and they won't give you a ransom for me. They will probably just send someone to bring me back using force. Let me tell you that they're very good at using force!" the doe-eyed girl said emphasizing the "very".

"Nup, we don't care, you're coming with us. We can still bargain for-" the man never got to finish because by that time, I ran up to the whole scene and started shouting.

"You heard the girl, get off her otherwise I'll call the police!" I started to reach to my back pocket of my jeans but I froze when I couldn't find it.

"Oh yeah, girlie?" the lead kidnapper said, "Where's your phone then huh? You don't seem to have it." The man started laughing and gestured behind me. I turned around and saw a tall and lanky boy with messy dark purple hair smirking and holding up my phone. Everything was a blur as red started to crowd my vision and the only thing I could see was the purple head boy laughing and the poor girl who is held captive by the people with shades.

"OI! Are you listening to me? Now-" The lead kidnapper was cut off when I quietly scoffed at his obnoxious behaviour. The man stopped talking and looked at me while the purple haired guy just stared.

"What nerve you have. Taking an innocent teenager off the streets, tch; in a desperate attempt to earn some money. You better let that girl go otherwise there will be trouble. " I couldn't BELIEVE that guy actually resorted to KIDNAPPING! Did he even THINK of the CONSEUQENCES? Hmm… probably not. Because knowing him (not that I do), that man can't think properly. Wait! What am I thinking? I shouldn't but into other people's affairs! *Mental face-palm*

"Hn, what can a girl like you do to us?" The purple haired guy smirked and oh God it was so ho- wait what?! Noooooo I can't call him hot! Grr, "You know, you look an awful lot like that girl on the news, the one that got into a car accident… I think it was Ura Karappu? Nah, can't be. Her family and relatives are stinking rich bitches, she wouldn't be wandering the streets like a hobo."

"…"

HOW DARE HE TALK LIKE THAT ABOUT MY FAMILY! HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND AT ALL! I feel something snap inside of me and I then feel rage burning up inside of me. Red clouded my eyes and I emitted a dangerous, black and deathly aura. I was angry at first when the purple guy stole my phone and how the kidnappers had nerve to take a girl off the streets and demand a ransom, but what really set me off was the fact that he called my family bitches. My parents were the most caring people in the whole world… actually, in the entire universe. He doesn't know how they were and can't even imagine what it felt like to be loved.

Unknown POV

It was obvious that the girl was angry. Her fists are clenched and her face is red. However, the boy just laughed and insulted her family… I wonder what will happen now? Geehee, knowing her, she'll- what did that boy just say?! Oh my God… he just insulted her family. This. Is. Not. Good. She will go ballistic, oh someone help those poor souls. A threatening aura surrounded her and she started to shake. Karasu spread out her hands and started to float (AN: XD only after I read over my work I realised how funny that sounded.) She slowly began to emit a soft white aura that began sparking. Soon white lightning was running down her hair, arms, legs, torso and back. Her head snapped back she opened her eyes.

"No…one… NO ONE INSULTS MY FAMILY AND GETS AWAY WITH IT."

~ Oh my gosh, it's finally up. MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Cliff-hanger XD Oh yeah it's going to be school holidays on Friday so from then on I will be updating a lot more quicker since I have a lot more time. Oh yeah, is it just me or has this year gone by super quick? DO NOT FORGET TO REVIEW…please :)
