Minna… I was very excited about uploading the chapters and I am in my writing-mode. So I'll update these early. BUT! BUT! But, please review anyway. I'm sure each of you know how important reviews are to fan fiction writers…

Anyway, thank you for supporting me, minna-sama! I appreciate it all! Here's the chapter!

Mikan's POV

"What should I do?" I asked. If that idiot was here, I know none of us can rest safely for a few weeks.

"Just stay right there." Natsume commanded. He went behind me and positioned my hands.

There is a poisonous gas out there. I'll try to use heat from my Alice to dispel it. If I increase my heat too high, the building will burn. It must be done precisely." He concentrated very hard on the explosion's surroundings. I'm growing tense just by the atmosphere…

"So, on the count of three?" I inquired.

"Hm. Focus your concentration. Too weak of your nullification, the wall will be toasted. Too strong, we'll succeed in melting part of the barrier. Got that?" Natsume stood to my right and placed his palm by my Nullification Cross sign.

"One…" I said, Must focus.

"Two…" Don't release, Alice power in palm…

"THREE!"

We both released out Alices at the same time. A flickering flame appeared on Natsume's palm as a clear but still visible vibration exited my hands. It created a mild heat that wasn't strong enough to burn the East Wing, nor too weak to cause confusion to my barrier.

Panting from the precise effort, I release my barrier. Using his Fire Alice to quickly fix some pipes, he sealed the East Wing again as I activated my Anti-Alice barrier on it until further Malicitians (Alice mechanics) arrived.

We headed back to the headquarters, where Hotaru and Ruka had already gathered. We slumped back to our leather seats, looking, well, not quite the greatest.

"Results, Hyuuga, Mikan?" Hotaru activated our robot secretary, Kiseki-bozu. Kiseki-bozu had her fingers neatly arranged on a keyboard.

"I'll leave it to you." Natsume glanced at me and then went to the water-fountain in a corner to get a drink.

"Mikan?" Hotaru asked.

"Minna-sama…." I was going to cry soon… I looked down and my bangs covered my eyes.

"Sakura?" Ruka asked.

"Natsume and I went to investigate the explosion. Whether it was a coincidence, fate, or that Hotaru's new invention predicted the future. My Alice was of use to Natsume, whose Alice alone could have fixed the damage done to the pipe."

"Go on." Hotaru said bluntly.

"There was a detected harmful gas in my area scan results," Natsume returned from his unusually long sip of water. "Mikan activated her Alice in result."

"Nullification?"

"Yes."

"Oh, right, proceed."

"We defeated it, but in the results, we've come to the conclusion."

"And that is?" Kiseki-bozu questioned.

"Haiiro Neko is back." Natsume and I said automatically replied.

HohohoMinna-sama, Cliff-hanger. Who is Haiiro Neko?

There are things you may need to know before you move on.

Natsume is sometimes known as the Kuro Neko (Black Cat) of Gakuen Alice. He has multiple Alices (Healing, Levitation, Fly, Teleport, Infliction of Pain), which were unlocked in discovery after being trained by Persona. Thus, in order to save his life, Persona, performed a seal on him to not risk his life when he uses Alices. In turn, however, he must always do missions for Persona. Lucky, the Shiro Neko is allowed to accompany him.

Mikan is the Shiro Neko (White Cat). After changing her image in Jinno-sensei's eyes, she was slowly allowed to promote herself to higher ranks. She currently is at Natsume's level. She also has multiple Alices, which Persona suspected and trained in the process to bring out the buried powers (Healing, Levitation, Fly, Teleport, IllusionHers are the same as Natsume's except for the last one.) Persona also performed the seal on her to not risk her life when using her Alice. Like Natsume, in return, she does missions for Persona and usually accompanies the Kuro Neko.

Hotaru is known as the Kon'iro Neko (Indigo Cat). Though she doesn't have multiple Alices, she is one of most powerful Alices ever existed. Persona performed the seal on her, and in exchange, provides some technology to the Kuro and Shiro Neko. She does not work for Persona, but she is also at Mikan's and Hyuuga's level.

Ruka is also known as Kiiroi Neko (Yellow Cat). He also doesn't have multiple Alices, but is a great source of information through his communication with animals. As an equivalent for his constant use of his Alice, Persona also performed the Seal on him. He, of course, is at Natsume's level. Hotaru and him are only allowed to accompany the Shiro and Kuro Neko on extreme terms.

As Mikan and Natsume are usually gone for a mission, Hotaru, her robots including Kiseki-bozu and Ruka are mostly in charge of the school.

That's about it. Next time, SPECIAL EDITION: GAKUEN ALICE!
