|| Haha, so I'm skipping the explanation of the academy because I'm too lazy... ||

"And that concludes my explanation of the academy," Narumi said.

"Wow..." Mikan said, impressed, "A school for geniuses is in a league of its own, isn't it? I'll have to tell Grandpa when I go home today."

"He's going to be surprised," Hana said, smiling.

"U-um, Hana-chan, Mikan-chan," Iinchou stuttered.

Hearing the stutter, Hana stopped smiling. 'Why does he have a sad look on his face?' Hana wondered.

"Now that we've been accepted to Alice Academy, we were thinking about going home today," Mikan said.

Narumi set his cup of coffee down, "I'm sorry Hana-chan, Mikan-chan... but you can't do that. Once you enroll, you're not allowed any contact with your family, or anyone from the outside world."

Mikan's eyes widened after he said that, "You-you're kidding right?! Why not?! We won't do anything bad! We're just going home to talk to Grand-"

"That's the rule," Narumi interrupted her.

"B-but, you can give letters to Mr. Narumi and he can send them for you," Iinchou said trying to cheer us up, "So, I'm sure your grandfather will understand if you explain the situation honestly."

"Yeah, but..." Mikan said crying, "... I don't know how to write a letter."

Hana smiled slightly, "I can write the letter, Mikan. You just have to tell me what you want to write."

Mikan shook her head, "No it's fine, I'll just try my best."

Narumi-sensei stood up, "People with Alices are special. I'm sure you understand."

"Yeah," Mikan said, "I mean everyone else has to put up with it."

"It's just a matter of being positive," Narumi said.

"I finally found you," someone said. Everyone quickly turned around, recognizing the voice. There in front of them, was Natsume.

"So you finally found me, huh?" Narumi said, "I figured you'd be pretty angry at me for putting you to sleep, so I've been hiding. But if you're still like that after a night's rest, I guess my punishment was a little too effective."

"Screw you!" Natsume shouted, "Naru, you... I'll kill you!"

"Natsume, no!" Hana shouted. She was about to run to stop him, but Narumi stopped her.

"Stay back, Hana-chan. I'll handle this," Narumi said running forward.

"You bastard!" Natsume shouted, also running forward. Hana couldn't bring herself to watch, so she covered her eyes. After hearing a huge explosion, Hana uncovered her eyes. Once the smoke cleared, everyone could see Narumi-sensei and Natsume on the ground.

Hana gasped and ran towards the two on the ground, "Are you all right?!"

Narumi spread out his arms, "Don't worry, Hana-chan, I'm all right!"

Instead, of running to Narumi, Hana ran to Natsume, "Are you all right, Natsume?!" Natsume groaned, but nodded.

Narumi pouted, "That's so cold, Hana-chan."

"Sorry, Narumi-sensei."

Narumi stood, "Well, anyway, you're extreme as always, Natsume-kun."

"Shut...up..." Natsume breathed heavily. A horn sounded.

"Oh my," Narumi said, "I won't be able to cover this one up for you, Natsume-kun. If you plan on running, from the person you want to avoid, you better do it soon. Otherwise, he may come looking for you?"

"Huh? Natsume, who's he?" Hana asked Natsume. Natsume just gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked away.

"Hey, Polka-dots," Natsume said, stopping, "You're going to regret going to this school, you stupid airhead. And Hana, be careful, with who you trust, especially with the adults here." Then he started running away.

"If you weren't here, then I wouldn't regret a thing!" Mikan shouted.

"Does that mean you regret it, then?" Hana asked.

|| Time Skip ||

"Sorry to disappoint some of you, but we're back!" Mikan shouted, "I'm Mikan Sakura, and this is my sister, Hana Sakura. We really are Alices!"

Some people started clapping.

"Congratulations on your enrollment!"

"Welcome to class B!"

"They beat Bear?!"

"I heard that girl, Hana, tamed Bear!"

"So what's their Alices, anyway?"

Narumi clapped twice, "Now, now. Everyone settle down."

"Um, Narumi-sensei," Hana said, "Are you class B's teacher?"

"Huh? Did I forget to mention that?" Narumi asked. Hana and Mikan nodded.

"I'm always busy, so I leave the class to that guy, the substitute teacher," Narumi said, pointing at the substitute.

"Please don't leave it to me!" The sub begged, "This class is such a handful!"

Permy raised her hand, "Sensei. What're their Star Ranks?"

"Since Hana-chan has 2 Alices, and I've been told that she get top grades in all of her classes-which are all advanced-so she's a Special Star-"

"Hana-chan has two Alices?!"

"How?! She looks so weak..."

"I guess you really can't judge a person based on their looks."

On hearing those comments, Hana shifted awkwardly. 'Everyone's always assuming that I'm weak just because I'm small...'

"Oh, that reminds me, here you go," Narumi said, handing Hana a special star pin. "And Mikan-chan's has not been decided yet."

"What's a Star Rank?" Mikan asked.

"Um... Let's see," Iinchou said, "Star Ranking is an evaluation system that ranks students based on their Alice level, behavior and other factors. There are four ranks. No Star, Single, Double, and Triple. Above Triple is a rank called 'Special.' Students in that rank are 'Principal Students'."

"Shouldn't I be a Triple then?" Hana asked, "I don't think I'm a 'Principal Student'."

"Oh, but since you have two Alices, you are," Narumi said. 'I can't tell her the real reason, yet. She's too young.'

"By the way," a girl said, "Iinchou-san is a Triple. There are only three Triples in the middle school division."

"Wow! You really are amazing, Iinchou!" Mikan shouted, "Then... Oh! Hotaru has three stars, too!"

"That's because Imai-san has good grades, is calm and collected, and most of all, has a very unique Alice."

"I believe Ruka's also a Triple," Hana thought out loud.

All of a sudden, Hotaru hit Mikan with her baka gun (Baka!), "You're drooling."

"Your Star Rank can go up or down depending on your behavior. So be careful, okay?" Iinchou said.

"If Hotaru isn't a Special, the Special students must be really exceptional! Like Hana-chan!" Mikan shouted.

"There's just one other student that's a Special in the middle school division. Only Natsume Hyuga, and-now- Hana Sakura have been the only ones to be given that rank."

"N-Natsume?!" Mikan shouted, shocked, "How?! He's such a troublemaker!"

Permy slammed her hands on her desk, "Don't say such rude things about Natsume-sama! His pranks are insignificant compared to his enormous talent! He's a genius. He's on a completely different level than both of you! I don't know how you coaxed Mr. Narumi into letting you enroll, but we won't accept it!

"What a high-and-mighty attitude. Bleh!" Mikan stuck out her tongue, "It doesn't matter what kind of Alice he has. A bad person is still a bad person! He's rude, violent, and...and...!"

"And?"

"His face ticks me off!" Mikan shouted, turning to the person who said 'And?'. She froze, seeing Natsume standing there in his cat mask.

It's him! Mikan thought, getting into a pose as if she's about to fight. But Natsume just walked around her.

"Looks like he caught you," Narumi said, smirking.

"Shut up," Natsume muttered, earning him a shock from his mask.

Hana and Ruka ran to him. "Natsume! Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine," Natsume said, "Don't worry about it." Ruka and Hana walked with Natsume to their seats in the back.

The class started whispering about what happened.

"That's not good. Natsume has the restraining mask on."

"I heard it electrocutes the wearer if they break the rules."

"That's scary."

"Did you see what just happen?"

"Natsume-sama didn't reject Hana-san!"

"You're making it sound like she asked him out."

Narumi clapped his hands again, "All right! Lastly, because Hana-chan and Mikan-chan are new students, they'll need someone to help them and teach them about the school, so I'd like them to have partners. Who'd like to be Hana-chan's partner?"

At this almost everyone raised their hand-excluding Natsume, Ruka, Permy and her friend, Hotaru, and Iinchou.

Narumi sweatdropped, "I guess I'll have to choose her partner, since almost the entire class wants to be her partner. Natsume-kun, you'll be Hana's partner. Now, would anyone like to be Mikan's partner?"

At those words, everyone instantly put their hands down. Mikan looked at Hotaru hopefully, but she held up a sign:

Sounds like a pain in the butt, so... N-O!

After Mikan read that, she held up a sign, too:

You're heartless, Hotaru!

Narumi sweatdropped at how fast the class rejected Mikan. "All right then, since no one wants to be Mikan-chan's partner, then I'll have to assign one. Hm... How about you, Ruka-kun?" Ruka looked up when he heard his name.

The class started yelling.

"What?!"

"Why?"

"No way!"

"She doesn't deserve to be Ruka-sama's partner!"

"I wanted to be Hana-san's partner!"

"So did I!"

"Now that that's settled," Narumi said, walking out of the door, "there's something I must attend to, so...adieu!"

"Narumi-sensei!" Mikan and the sub shouted. They each held up a sign, depressed:

Don't just leave...

at a time like this.

Natsume scoffed, "Whatever."

Timidly, Mikan gave a sign to Ruka and Natsume:

Please go easy on me.

"I don't really like this," Mikan said, crying, "But it's fate... Narumi-sensei said it's 'just a matter of being positive'."

"You're really a dimwit, aren't you?" Natsume said standing up, grabbing Hana's wrist, "Let's go, Ruka. You too, Hana." Ruka stood up as well.

Mikan glared at Natsume and Ruka, "Hey! The least you both could do is be polite and greet me!"

Natsume stopped, "Let me warn you about something. If you believe everything they tell you...you'll be hurt by it someday. You too, Hana."

Mikan stared as Natsume and Ruka walked out of the classroom, pulling Hana along with them.

Once they were outside, Natsume finally let go of Hana wrist.

"Why'd you pull me outside?" Hana asked, "We're going miss class."

"Exactly," Natsume said.

"But I don't want to skip class," Hana pouted, "That'll make me get on the bad side of teachers."

"We can go to the animal barn, to play with the animals," Ruka offered, causing Hana to perk up.

"Really? Then let's go!" Hana exclaimed, pulling Natsume and Ruka's arm.

||Time Skip ||

"Where were you, Hana-chan?" Mikan asked.

"Oh, Ruka and Natsume took to the animal barn so Ruka and I could play with the animals," Hana said, smiling.

When she saw Mikan's depressed face, however, Hana immediately stopped smiling, "What's wrong, Mikan?"

Mikan sniffed, "Jinno-sensei, our math teacher, made me a No Star."

Hana comfortingly patted her head, "It's okay, Mikan. You'll just have to do your best to get a higher Star Ranking. Okay?"

Mikan nodded, sadly. Suddenly Permy pulled her away.

"Where do you think you're going?" Permy asked, dragging her back to the middle school, "You have chores to do!"

|| Time Skip ||

"Oh, you must be the two new girls who got Special Star and No Star, Hana Sakura and Mikan Sakura," A robot said.

"It's a robot!" Mikan exclaimed, pointing at it.

"That's our dorm mother, Takahashi," Iinchou said, "Takahashi, can you take Mikan and Hana to their rooms?"

"We can take Hana to her room," Someone said. We all turned to see Natsume and Ruka standing in the doorway.

"O-oh, okay then," Iinchou stuttered, walking away to follow Takahashi, who just left.

"Follow me," Natsume said, walking away. Hana rushed to follow Natsume and Ruka, and the next thing she know, they were standing near Natsume's door.

"Why are we near your room, Natsume?" Hana asked.

"Your room is next door," Natsume said, walking into the room next to his.

Hana couldn't help but look around in awe. The room was huge. It had a light pink and white theme-Hana's favorite color scheme-and looked like a princess's room.

"Your room, is a mirror version of mine," Natsume said, walking around, "Except, much more girly. I'll show you around your room. Your stuff is already here."

After showing Hana around her room a bit more, Natsume led her to a door.

"This is the door that leads to my room," Natsume explained. He walked into his room with Ruka following behind. "Get changed, and ready for dinner. When you're done, go to my room, here."

|| Time Skip ||

"Wow, this is a lot of food," Hana said, staring at her food.

"Are you not going to eat it all?" Mikan asked, walking over to where her sister was sitting.

Hana shook her head, pushing her plate towards Mikan. "No, I'm not that hungry. Mikan, you can have it, if you want."

Mikan eyes sparkled, "Really?!" IHana nodded. "Yay! Hana-chan you are the best sister ever!"

Dear Grandpa,
Alice Academy is very fun. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to come home and visit. But I am allowed to send you letters. Mikan's also writing you letters, just to tell. So always expect two letters. I made two new friends. Natsume Hyuga and Ruka Nogi. Natsume has the Fire Alice, and Ruka has the Animal Pheromone Alice. It turns out that I have two Alices! The Nullification Alice and the Water Alice. Here, at the academy, they rank us. There are four(technically five) ranks. No Star, Single Star, Double Star, Triple Star, and Special. I got a Special Star, but Mikan somehow got a No Star, so her stay here, is going to be a bit difficult. I miss you, Grandpa, and Mikan and I will be try to write as many letters as we can.

From your granddaughter,

Hana Sakura
