Alice Academy is own by Tachibana Higuchi. It has nothing to do with me. Except the fact that I'm writing a story 'bout it… only this plot… nothing else…

Flashback

I'll never let anything happen to you or anyone, I promised. If there is anything to reach you, it has to go through me. Natsume looked up at the moon. Then looked at the path Mikan went.

CHAPTER 4 : OUR MISSION? MORE LIKE A GAME…

--starting

A fresh new day, the sun shines brightly and early birds were gathering on the academy ground, waiting for some worms to make a wrong move which will end their blind lives. It was a unbelievable day… why? It's because someone was not late. And without the help of the half an hour earlier watch. Wow? Yar… It's Mikan, walking down the corridor heads down, looking at every pebble she walked passed. She was not depressed, she was just surprised to see what she could not normally see. Worms hiding behind the pebbles from birds… so the worms can actually see…

Mikan woke up early that particular morning. Nervous, I guess. A super cheerful Mikan with a super wide smile that you can see her smile a hundred miles away, opened class B's front door and " ohaiyo minna-san" she opened her eyes, only to blink at an empty room.. The early Mikan checked for the time and found out she was an hour early. "oh well…" she settled down on her seat and stared at a particular Sakura tree outside the window. Later did she realize someone was there. Some flame caster with raven hair.

Mikan approached the tree and planned to surprise Natsume with a 'boo!'. Mikan creped at the opposite direction where Natsume is facing, preparing to yell into his ear but suddenly stop.

If you think that Mikan stop because Natsume set fire on her hair, you are wrong. If you think Mikan stop because she can't bear to do that on Natsume, you are partially correct. She saw Natsume resting, sleeping to be exact. (what a rare sight.) Natsume was sleeping so peacefully under the shelter of the tree.

Mikan sat down beside him and stare at him. She never noticed that Natsume had so peaceful looking face. He was forever frowning, smirking… hmm.. what else…? Whatever.. she just never noticed that there is such a gentle Natsume. Yar, only can be seen when he is sleeping. Mikan keep staring at him until he fidgeted a little at woke up.

Mikan quickly looked away. Natsume rubbed his eyes… oh god.. I fell asleep under this darn tree last night.. then realize someone was there. He sighed as he saw Mikan… but wait, what is Mikan doing there? How long has she been here? ( it was 15 minutes.. that means there is still 45 minutes for Natsume to get change. Ps. He is in his pajamas…) What the….and she early… unbelievable…

"Ohaiyo Natsume" Mikan said with a wide smile. "you better hurry up because you only have 15 minutes to get changed." She looked at her watch again. "oh, correction. You still have 45 minutes to get change or you will be late…" Mikan put both her hands behind her head and lean back.

"tng… Who cares if I am late." Natsume snapped and stood up.

"Today is important you know… its when Narumi-sensei will brief us on our test!" Mikan yelled as Natsume started to walk away.

Oh great… the mission… He mentally slapped himself.

- later during class (fast forward )

"And now I'll tell you what you need to know about the mission which all of you are involved. Before that, all of you shall sit with your partner."

- after settled down

"Good... and your task is…" Narumi-sensei paused for a second. "to find something…" everybody fall in anime style.

"That's a piece of cake." Sumire exclaimed.

"but…" now, the attention was back at Narumi-sensei's "but". ( the word –but- )

"But, it is something you have never seen before. smell before or even heard before…" the class is filled with "orh"s and "ahh"s…

"It seems like the… 'things' that you are going to find have been scattered across the entire area of alice academy, by the spies who are from the anti-organization but was found out when they had stolen the… 'things'.. " Narumi-sensei continued " it could be anywhere… under your bed… among a bush… blah blah blah… but I don't think anyone would fancy eating it so no worries"

"Now, every pairs send a person and line a straight row in front of me. You will pick an envelope from this black bag. And wait for further instructions."

- later…

"In each envelope, you will find will have a picture, information of the object and some clues. And your task is…, to find it" Narumi-sensei said in a rather serious tone. "Finding something is simple, but still, not as simple as you think. Because the 'things' you are going to find is top secret, you can't let any other people than you and your partner know. Also, let me warned you, the other spies, if there is any, in this school might know where it is hidden. But if on your way to the 'things', you meet them… you have two things to do… grab the stuff and run. Got it? "

"Your deadline is in a month. Everyday lessons will be cut half so you can go find it when the sun is still up. And it starts tomorrow onwards. Gambatte neh, minna-san. Ja-ne" Narumi-sensei went back to his care-free mode and went out of the class. Leaving his precious students and their task.

Mikan stood up to protest but jinno-sensei had came in to the class.

"What do you think you are doing, Sakura?"
