GaNGsta GaL: I'm back

GaNGsta GaL: I'm back!! (with lots of shopping bag)

Mokona: Ha-puh! (swallowed all the bag)

GaNGsta GaL: Hey, where did my things go?

(Yuuko appeared)

Yuuko: That is all I need for the payment of their travel there in the Alice Academy.

GaNGsta GaL: I have to pay for that, come on!! There is a feather here, that's why there should be no payment.

Yuuko: Sorry but I have them now. Thank you! (disappears)

GaNGsta GaL: Oh Men?! My whole month allowance is gone. (sobs in a corner)

Chapter 4: Protecting with questions

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Gasp! That's all people can say now, looking at the two people who walked at the corridors and entered the classroom holding hands.

'MIKAN SAKURA! YOU'RE DEAD!" Sumire shouted, well actually not only Sumire but of course the Natsume Ruka Fans Club. Everybody was shock of course except their two best friends who seem just look at them and the new people who just came from "other dimension" they say. They sat next to each other in the back with Ruka still holding hands. Mikan is blushing. The gang went to them except Hotaru who is just on her seat.

"Wow, yesterday, you too didn't talk to each other and now you enter the classroom holding hands, you too have a lot of explaining." Mochu tease then Natsume glared at him.

"…Or not!" Mochu said who is afraid and swallowed.

"Just leave the lovers alone you guys." Ruka said.

"But we can't let this time pass by Ruka; we have to know the full details. So Natsume tell us everything or I could just read your mind." Koko went closer.

"Then I'll have to kill you. Want to die now?" Natsume thought that Koko read.

"Okie, you don't have to be so fiery MR. Natsume" Koko said and left.

"You'll pay for this Mikan Sakura! It's Pay Back time"

"Huh?!" Mikan spoke who just came to her senses.

"What wrong?" Natsume asked Mikan looking at her. Mikan just give her a smile.

"No, its nothing." Mikan reassure Natsume.

"But I'm sure it was nothing."

"Uhm, Mikan…"

"It gives me creeps."

"Mikan…?"

"Don't tell me that I have Koko's powers too?"

"Oi. Baka!" Natsume said high enough that make Mikan look at him.

"Hai!" Mikan said looking at him again.

"What's wrong, you're spacing out?" Natsume said.

"No, it's nothing." Mikan reassure him again.

"Then you're friend there want to talk to you." Natsume said who looks the other way.

"Huh?"

"Mikan…" Mikan look where the voice came from and it was from Sakura.

"Oh, Sorry, Sakura. Yes, what may I do for you?" Mikan said.

"It's just that, we are looking for the feather this evening and we hope you could go with us, We'll be looking at the northern forest, that where Mr. Narumi said where to look." Sakura said.

"Sure… I'm sure Natsume would love to go to, right Natsume?" Mikan said.

"I'm obligated to do that, BAKA!" Natsume said still not looking at her.

"Ei, I'm not Baka, you HENTAI." Mikan pouted.

"HN." Natsume ignored her.

"Well then, we'll be seeing you tonight?" Sakura said and went to Syaoran who is distracted by girls too.

The class bell rang, its time for the classes. Mr. Narumi entered the class room with a super hero outfit. Everybody sweatdrop.

"Good Morning class. Today bring me great joy." Mr. Narumi said still everybody sweatdrop.

"Please, don't flatter me with that look on my new outfit." Another sweatdrop.

"Geez, sometimes Mr. Narumi could be so poetic jerk." Mikan thought.

"Well then, enough for today's chitchat, but please be with me in welcoming another legendary being. She just transferred from section 3-A, since that we have the legendary being; they thought I might be great if they are in one class. So please let's welcome her." Mr. Narumi said. A girl with a curly black hair entered. Everyone gasped except for except for the gang and Sakura and Syaoran. Some of the boys are drooling staring at the most beautiful being the may have seen.

Her movements are like princess. She even walks like one. Her scarlet eyes sparkle like diamond that is hardly found. Her skin is white, but not pale but white. Her hair bounces as she walks and moves as she is. Her lips are red, red as rose. It maybe like strawberry when kissing might be.

She bow down then face again the class.

"Hi, My name is Haruka Ichinowabe. I'm from Hokkaido, Japan. My Alices are…" the girl just said. In the words that came out especially the word "My Alices are…" most people gasped. Girls chitchat with their seatmate.

"Another Rivals?"

"Wow, Mikan is not d only one who has 3 Alices."

"Oh my god… another legendary user. Sure are them are lucky."

Some would say. But the girl at the back… sitting beside Natsume just couldn't help but look at her. She could tell what her Alices are but this time, something is wrong.

"I couldn't see her past?"

"...metallic composition which means I can turn to metallic figure, passing through walls or anything and the other one is a secret."

As she said her Alices, they clap their hand except for the 6 again.

"Hmm, they are not infected of my story?" A mysterious voice said.

"That's all." Haruka said. Everyone cheered, most of the boys drool.

"Well, wow, what a nice entrance. Well, then that's all. I'll leave you too the substitute teacher." Mr. Narumi said and left the room. Still everyone was looking at her.

"We'll be having a self-study today Sir, Right?" Haruka smirk.

"Yup, You'll have a self study today." The substitute teacher told them, then just went to a corner and just stays there.

Haruka walked to the back followed by the guys. Yuu went to her and greeted her but she just ignored him. She passed by Hotaru who just followed her by her eyes. Anna and Nonoko just talk to each other. Koko and Mochu just talk to Ruka. Sumire just talk to her friends but they are talking about Haruka. The other girls adore Haruka and wish they are like her. Natsume and Mikan are looking at her knowing she is walking towards them. Natsume hold Mikan's hand which made Mikan look at him but still staring at Haruka. And then finally, Haruka spoke.

"So, this is another legendary 3 Alice user, huh? Am sure more beautiful and stronger than her, right boys?" Haruka raising her eyebrow said. The boys just nodded some shouted "Haruka, you're the greatest."

"I wonder how you make Natsume fell for you?" Haruka said. Mikan look at the other way. She her heart was hurt.

"Maybe because of you're 3rd Alice that no one knows or maybe because Natsume has pity on you?" Haruka said trying to break her heart.

"My, my, It may be because he is sorry for you." Haruka continue. Some of the girls gasped.

"Who are you to accuse such things to Mikan?" Anna shouted from the back.

"Yeah, she is friendlier that you are." Nonoko said.

"Come on, Chickens, Don't dare to say a word if I'm not talking to you!" Haruka said and some boys went to Anna and Nonoko. Yuu and Koko went to the two to help them.

"Stop." Haruka whispered and the two boys stop and leave the 4 alone.

"Now, where was I? Oh yeah, so Natsume tell us. Did she just beg so she could go out with you?" Haruka said still hurting Mikan with such words.

"I am stronger that you Mikan Sakura, and I can protect the ones I love but the question is can you protect them too? Now that you can't even protect yourself from my words?"

SLAP!

Yes, Mikan slap her, Everyone gasped. Natsume look on the two girls.

"You don't have right to do such things to my friends. You don't have the right to accused me! You don't have the right to judge me because you never know me. You don't know anything about me and Natsume." Mikan said with tearful eyes. Then she left. Natsume followed her.

"As you were." Haruka shouted and everyone went to their real businesses

"Mikan!" Anna shouted and try to follow her with Yuu, Nonoko, Koko, Ruka, Syaoran and Sakura.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

Everyone was hit except Syaoran carrying Sakura who avoided it too.

"Hotaru?" Ruka asked.

"Don't follow them, let them be! Natsume and Mikan can handle it." they all just nodded and went back to their seats.

"Something is sure fishy about her?" Hotaru thought secretly looking at her.

"Hmm, this is becoming interesting?" Haruka thought.

"She is gutsy now?"

"I never thought I could use my real Alice strong like this but something is blocking my power to her friend.

"Her nullifying Alice might be protecting her friends but no matter what happened. I have to have them."

"… especially Natsume" she thought then left

In the hallway…

Mikan was running away. Natsume is following her. Then Natsume able to catch her grab her wrist and hug her. Mikan can't help but cry.

"Natsume, why is she like that?" Mikan sobs.

"Why?" Mikan cried.

"Did I do something to her?" Mikan continue to cry.

"Sssh, don't worry. I'm by your side." Natsume said hugging her letting her to cry in his arms.

"Natsume, is she telling the truth? Am I'm not beautiful? Mikan asked

"Can I protect the ones I love?"

"Can I protect you?"

"Ssh-ssh! Of course you can! How could you say such things?" Natsume said.

"but she said I can't protect the one's I love." Mikan said looking at him.

"and you believe her more that yourself?" Natsume said. Mikan ignored that question.

"I-I'm not so sure anymore." Mikan said looking d other way.

"Then if you do not believe in yourself then how can you even protect yourself." Natsume let go. Mikan shockingly look at him.

"But I love you all, especially you, that why I want to protect you." Mikan said.

"Then believe in yourself and smile." Natsume said and wipe her tear. Mikan smiled then hug Natsume.

"Thank you, Natsume." Mikan said.

"I am really thankful that I have you Natsume I'll protect you! I'll protect everyone!" Mikan thought.

"Hmm, you got your spirit now, are we, Mikan Sakura. Its just the start!" A girl said hiding in a distant place.
