Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my plot that stinks like horseradish… and my laptop who decided to wreck havoc in my room… (if that's really possible… hehe)

Note: This is a fanfiction so impossible things like me being God for a day is extremely possible. Don't go telling me off if you read something that you thought is way too impossible to happen. Anything can happen in fanfictions.

And yes, this is my first fanfic. I'm not asking you to be kind or something. Flame me for all I care.

CHAPTER FOUR: THE ATTACK

Mikan Sakura is not an angst-y kind of girl, that's clear. When she said that she's not pretending anymore, she didn't mean that she would go all angst-y or something. What she meant is that she will show her emotions more now and not just cover them up pretending to be always happy when she's not.

She is not an angst-y girl because she doesn't know how to angst. The first time she tried it, she ended up looking at a mirror and commenting about how fat her butt is.

But now, all she wanted to do was to angst her ass to death. She couldn't believe her friends are talking about her! Well, it's they're not really backstabbing her or something but still, she's not used to it.

'Especially what happened yesterday between Hotaru and me… I just couldn't believe she would say something as hurtful as that.' Mikan thought.

'I guessed they're not going to say sorry to me. Knowing Hotaru and Natsume, the words 'sorry', 'apologize' and any other words having the same meaning as that is not in their vocabulary. I think I'll be the one to say sorry to them know. Besides, it's not that I still have some pride to swallow now, is there? It would be the best thing to do. I couldn't risk losing the only friends I have now, would I? Better get going then.'

With that decided, she walked towards the grounds where she guessed her friends will be.

…

"So the plan goes tonight?"

"Yeah."

"Great. Now what would be a quick way to finish her? How 'bout this?" he said holding a bat.

"It's your decision. But are you sure we should be doing this? We could get in trouble, you know."

"Come on! We hated her to the core! She's a weakling… a disgrace to the school. I've never met someone as weak as her. For all I know, she might be finished faster than we thought. Besides, we are in the wings of Jinno-sensei so I think we wouldn't sink without him going down with us, right?"

"Right."

…

Mikan walked towards her room. She had just finished "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" and returned it to the library without further ado. She wouldn't want to have a fine now, would she?

'This might be my lucky day! Everyone accepted my apology. Aside from that, who knew I could find "The View from Saturday" in the library? It's such a hard find. Well, better start reading now.' Mikan thought, pulling a blue colored book from her bag and started finding her way to the first page of the book.

…

"There she is!"

"Well then, do you think we should clobber her to death?"

"You use your telekinetic ability while I use my invisibility on her. That way, we leave her totally helpless and invisible on the ground. Then, no one could help her. And if we get lucky, she might get sick because of the cold night air."

"I really like the way you think. You are a total genius."

"Yes, I know. Don't rub it too hard on me. I might kill you for that."

"O-of course."

…

She stopped.

She felt something. Like the kind of feeling when you know something bad will happen. Right now, she could imagine someone eagerly waving a red flag at her.

'Better keep my senses alert."

Activating her senses to the next level, she walked cautiously, wishing she didn't stayed too long in the library.

'There! I see them.'

…

"Do you think she saw us?"

"With all the noise you made, I wouldn't be surprised if she did."

"Sorry."

"Quiet! I need to concentrate."

"Y-yeah. O-of course."

"When I say now, send those bats clobbering towards her, ok?"

"Roger."

…

'What are they doing there? Didn't they know there is a bunch of poison ivy growing there? I might as well inform them. I wouldn't like it if I found myself in that position.'

…

"She's coming our way!"

"All the better for us."

"It is?"

"When I say now… NOW!"

…

She walked towards the bush and stopped.

'Something isn't right here! But what?'

Suddenly, numerous numbers of bats flew towards her.

"What the---?"

"Gotcha!" and out of the shadows stood a boy responsible for the bats.

"What are you doing? Who are you? What offense did I do to you?" a frightened Mikan asked, forgetting how much powerful she is by the fear and pain she felt from the bats hitting her skin.

"I didn't know you really are that stupid. Well, here are your answers. What am I doing? Getting revenge. Who am I? Ichiru. What offense did you do to me? Nothing. But Natsume did. He humiliated us in front of our class. And this is our revenge."

"Wait, us?"

"Yeah, as in Ichiru, me and Jinno-sensei." Another guy from the shadows said as he stepped out from his hiding place.

Anger and adrenaline shot through her. 'Jinno-sensei, huh? No wonder. Well, then, if he wanted to play, I'll play.'

And with that said she feigned hurt and started to create an illusion of her bleeding because of the attack given to her. 'Good thing I copied Yuu's alice sometime when I when I asked him to create an illusion for me. I didn't know he'll fall for such an excuse!'

…

FLASHBACK:

"Hey everyone! I'm sorry for acting like a jerk. I didn't know what came over me."

"It's fine, Mikan. We're sorry too for whispering behind your back." Nonoko said.

"No harm done. So, umm, would you guys mind if you show me your alices? I kind of missed them already."

"Missed them?" Ruka asked.

"Y-yeah. You see, I hadn't seen you guys use your alice for a long time now. So, could you please show me? I mean, if it isn't ---

"Shut up already! Here, fire. Happy now?" an irked Natsume said while holding a fire.

"Thank you, Natsume!" Mikan gleefully said.

And so the rest followed showing their alices to Mikan, who secretly copied them with haste.

…

"Yeah! She's bleeding already!"

"Stop it now. I think she has enough. Now, to make her invisible."

…

They're gone.

'Hah! I didn't think they'd fall for that one! Anyway, at least I got new alices… the alice of invisibility and telekinesis…'

But her happiness was cut short as realization dawned on her.

'Two students attacked me! With the connivance of a teacher… my teacher! What am I gonna do? Jinno will surely be surprised if he sees me tomorrow… and without a single bruise! I might as well go to Narumi-sensei.'

With that decided, she walked to where her friend and teacher would be found.
