Our Story

Chapter 4: The Horrible Past of The Suffering Young Heiress, and The Chance of Her Dreams That was Given

With Mikan and the gang, Normal POV.

After leaving the class dumfounded with the very rare phenomenon, with Imai Hotaru using foul language, Mikan and the gang walked out of the class in silence. The first few minutes, nobody dared to voice out their thoughts.

Well, it's so not Mikan-like if she didn't talk or something. So….

"Hotaru…" She called from behind. When four of them turned around, Mikan's face was covered by her bangs. She has already stopped walking, so did they.

The four girls stared at each other. "What's the matter, baka?" Hotaru responded, her face now softer. Slowly, Mikan looked up at her friends. Slowly, Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire had to hold their breaths to see the reaction of their dear friend.

Usually, Mikan would scold them for using foul words. If they were asked 'what's the matter?' they answered accidentally or a new habit—just like Mikan. Mikan had this bad habit, using foul language at people, and she does it quite often, except to the people she truly and highly respects: her parents, family, best friends, elders, and younger kids. Mikan would scold them if their answer was, "I don't know. It just comes out of my mouth. Maybe it's a new habit. Well, you do the same, Mikan. That's your odd habit since we were twelve."

They had this conversation two weeks after Mikan had escaped from her suffer. At that time, it was the worst time ever in their life. Mikan got the impact very badly. What happened one and a half years ago was very much about Mikan. It has always been her.

Yukihira Mikan is the type that didn't have a proper childhood. One of the causes is her status; sole heiress of Yukihira Corp. and Agencies. But the public didn't know Mikan. I mean, they know that Yukihira Izumi and Yukuhira Yuka have a very lovely daughter, but the world did not know it was Mikan. Yukihira Izumi reasoned it; why doesn't the public know Mikan? What is the reason? Why does the world only have to know that Yukihira Izumi has a daughter, but they don't know her name?

Yukihira is a very well-known family. According to what businesses this family is taking care of, they really are something special. The Yukihira Corporation is one of the biggest company in Japan and in the world. This corporation also keeps Japan's economy in balance, along with another important corporations: Hyuuga's, Imai's, Nogi's, Shouda's, Sarada's, Yome's (Koko and Kitsu, I decided to make them twins), Ogasawara's and Umenomiya's, Tobita's, and Andou's.

The twelve corporations are maintaining the line of Japan's economy. Twelve of them have an heir or heiress, and the twelve of them already have protection from Japan. The twelve of them work hard for themselves and Japan, so they deserve it. They already have a protector, so it's actually fine if the heir or heiress of the twelve corporations wander around in public.

But it's different for the Yukihira family. The Yukihiras waere always on the top because of their way in work. The Yukihiras are a connector. They connect each of the eleven families along with their corporation. With what? With their genetical spirit of friendship. This is why the Yukihiras are important. The Yukihiras are a connector. Without them, there would be chaos.

And so, information about Yukihira Mikan is a national secret in Japan. She was protected since she was in her mother's womb. But if there were good things, bad things would be there too. So at that time, there was a bad situation.

A son of a butler in the Yukihira household accidentally told the world that the Yukihira family has a new baby girl. He didn't mean it. He was just excited about Mikan's birth at that time, and he was only a ten year old boy. He told the story of Mikan's birth to his friends and his friends told it to their parents and so on.

And so, the public began to know that the Yukihiras had a new heiress. Well, thank God the little boy didn't tell Mikan's name. Ah, the boy is fine and now and he's turning into a fine 24 year old man who is Mikan's former bodyguard, martial arts coach, and the new P.E teacher of Gakuen Alice. Yes, he is Serio Rei, or now known as Persona.

For the mean time, the other six families decided to not tell their sons about Mikan. They were worried sick, of course. Remember, the one who practically told the world about Mikan's birth was a boy. So they still worried. This explains why Natsume and his friend didn't know Mikan at all.

Only the heiresses knew about Mikan, and they are best friends. Until now.

The disaster that happened to Mikan one and a half years ago was the repeat of all the years of disaster that always happened to Mikan. Japan's biggest enemy, Z, knew about the Yukihira's new heiress and want to destroy her along with her family. But it would never happen, though they always try. Their main victim is Mikan only; they cannot get closer to her but they can 'attack' her in many ways, and their absolute favorite is poison.

Z was known because of the poison that they use to 'attack' people. They still didn't know where Z got these dangerous poison, but the poison has already went inside Mikan's body many times. Each time the poison got into Mikan's body, the more dangerous the poison becomes.

After they finally know Z poisoned Mikan, the Imai's come out with a new solution for Mikan. They know how Z works; they would repeat what they did in the past, but in a more and more dangerous level. The Imai's found out a way to make Mikan stand up to the poison; building up her immunity to poison. And they did do it, building an immunity to poison for Mikan.

The way to build the immunity was with poison. Frequently, they would put some carefully chosen poison into Mikan's body, but they healed it with herbs. This immunity to poison is working, but it has taken effect on Mikan's body too. She has to drink a medicine that's only made for her by the Imai's, and Mikan can't get sick with common sicknesses, like the flu. She can't. Ever since she started to go with the immunity system, she can't get minor sicknesses. If she really does get it, she can't get any chemical medicine. She can only take herb medicine; which takes affect longer than chemical medicine.

Unfortunately for Mikan, when she was in her last year of elementary school, she had the worst. That day, she had so many things to do since morning and was dead tired. Mikan had told Rei to leave her in the school and that she would go home by herself. But, Rei refused and Hotaru offered to bring her home later. Hotaru had things to do in the school club, so she was a little bit late, and Mikan waited for her to come back in front of a waiting shelter inside their school. She was tired, but tried to get her sense aware.

She couldn't; she was dead tired, and so someone knocked her out by injecting a new kind of poison in her. How would she know, since she collapsed after the damn Z person injected the poison in her? She knew she was already immune to poison. It only means two things; the poison is as good as new and the poison is very strong, but not strong enough to kill her. Well, Z wouldn't dare kill her; they need her alive.

The person who injected her had kidnapped her; she knew, because she woke up in an old warehouse.

There were three people, all men. They started asking her questions about her and the company, but of course, Mikan wouldn't answer any of their questions. If she answered, even just one of them, she was very sure her beloved family would get hurt. She would never let that happen. She just kept quiet and didn't answer any questions from the three men. She guessed it was from the Z's boss.

It's clear that Mikan made the three men look and feel like an idiot, and they didn't like it at all. Because of that, the three of them punished her. They physically harassed her! No, they intended to rape her! They were pedophile to her!

The three of them had already stripped off her clothes, except for their underwear. They touched her everywhere they wanted to. They hurt her body with many things. She couldn't struggle; she was tied! She was so angry. How dare they do that to her! What has she done to them that made her deserve their dirty hands touching her body?! And they deserved these words,

"Take your dirty hands off of me, you jerk, bastard, assholes! Don't you dare touch me with those dirty hands again!" Mikan screamed with all her willpower. It took all power to scream like that without sounding terrified. All the men stopped and looked at her with a very wicked smirk.

"Calling us that," The first man said, with a scar across his nose to his left eye, an evil smile on his mouth.

"Now that is," The second man continued, he was very tall and quite muscular, but his features says that he was not Japanese. He had blond hair.

"Unforgivable." The last man, which was a midget from the other two, said. He was a true Japanese, but she was sure this man was the one who injected that strong poison in her, and the most wicked of them all.

"I really want to kill you right now, maybe cut your body into pieces. But what you know is important, even for us," The midget man said with an evil glint in his eyes. "…And we seem like we can have fun with you. You're still a kid, but your body is quite good. So, what do you say?" He asked the other two.

"Well, we did touch her," The foreign man said.

"….Why not just fully take her? This time I don't mind sharing." The man with the scar continued.

Mikan couldn't take it anymore. She just did anything she could. She struggled and screamed with all her might.

When she screamed, they muffled her mouth with a piece of dirty cloth!

She was angry, she was frustrated, she was ashamed, she was scared, afraid, terrified. She felt dirty. She was suffering and she was hurt!

Just before those three men could do anything further in abusing her, the cops arrived. She could hear the sirens of the cop's cars. But before anyone could enter the warehouse, one of the men—she didn't know—injected the poison again, this time in her neck. After that, she began to lose consciousness, but before she was completely unconscious, the man who injected the poison punched her head with an obtuse kind of thing. After that, she completely lost her consciousness with the last memories of the sound of gun shots.

Mikan awakens two weeks after her kidnapping. When Mikan woke up, she was greeted by a surprised and tearful pairs of eyes looking at her.

Those pairs of eyes was her best friends' and mother's eyes. She tried to talk, but she couldn't. After Hotaru pushed the emergency button, the doctor came in. The doctor said she might be temporarily mute, maybe because of the trauma she had.

While crying, her mother tells her all the things that happened after she lost her conscious. Those three men were dead. The cops shots them to death right after she lost her conscious. She was in a critical phase for a day and in a coma for a solid fourteen days. She had a major trauma to her head, but she was miraculously okay. Though it caused her to be in a coma.

Hotaru cried on her after the doctor left—which was Hotaru's family—and the rest of her best friends and her mother. They all cried, and Hotaru kept on blabbering that this was all her fault. The reason why Mikan was kidnapped was because of her, she said. Well, of course not. Mikan had to write down so many words to make Hotaru sure it was not her fault.

The five of them were always by her side until she could go home, and even when she had been discharged from the hospital, they all stayed by her side.

Two days after she was home, Mikan got her voice back, even if it sounded like she was hesitating. Mikan still had to be in a wheelchair though. And Mikan had a guest. The Prime Minister of Japan, Ibaragi Masato. One of the people who was in charge of Mikan's safety.

"I apologize." The Prime Minister of Japan said to Mikan.

Mikan coughed. "P-Pardon?" She literally squeaked as she was about to drink her green tea in her wheelchair.

"I apologize for my lack of security on you, Miss Yukihira. You've been through bad moments. No, it was worse. I'm very sorry." He sounded like he was begging her!

"Oh, no! I-It's not l-like t-that. It's n-no n-need for y-you to a-apologize to m-me, I-Ibaragi-san." Mikan said, eyes widened.

"I'm very sorry, you shouldn't talk too much. I heard you just got your voice today." Mikan nodded. "I-It's 'kay. And p-please, just M-Mikan."

Ibaragi Masato just nodded thoughtfully and continued. "As you have noticed, they indeed have the stronger chemical poison. Strong enough to knock you out. Dr. Imai, the father of your best friend, has found a way to build up your immunity again." Mikan flinched a bit. The memories from when they began to build her immunity came into her mind. The memories were bad enough. And the Prime Minister noticed it. "Miss Mikan, I know you've been through bad things when we started building up the immunity in you, but we have to do this. And Imai-dono has said that this is would be the last. He also mentioned that he would use a new and more comfortable way."

"N-new and c-comfortable way to b-build my i-immunity?" Mikan titled her head to her side.

"I do not know the details but that is what Imai-dono has said. Maybe you will see it in a few weeks. I think after you could walk." He paused a little. "Though there is something that Imai-dono also mentioned."

Mikan calmed down and asked, "W-What is i-it?"

"In order to build a stronger immunity to poisons, stronger that you already have, it took more time than usual. I'm afraid that what he meant was that you can't attend school normally for at least one and a half years. In other words, you will miss your school life from now until your first year of middle school. Maybe a little bit after your second year starts."

Mikan was quiet, she coudn't say anything. She knew her life was not normal. It's never been. So she wasn't even a bit surprised at this. Well, it's just that she wanted to school along with Hotaru, Sumire, Misaki, Anna, and Nonoko. With her friends, and chase for her dream.

She may be destined to become a heiress, but she won't let it get in her way. Fulfilling her dreams wouldn't hurt her anyway, and even if it does, she has been through the worse.

"I see." Was her answer as she drank her warm green tea. Her voice was calm but there was a hint of sadness in it.

"Miss Mikan,"

"Oh, it is alright, Ibaragi-san. As long as I can see my friends and study, I wouldn't mind. It's only for one and a half years anyway." Mikan voice was suddenly back to normal.

"Alright, I will inform this to Imai-dono,"

"No need for that. Ojii-san said he will check up on me tonight, so we will talk about it later tonight.

"If that is what you want, then."

There was a pregnant silence between them, until the Prime Minister asked an unexpected question.

"Miss Mikan," he called after he was done with his tea and wiped off his mouth with a napkin. "I would like to know what your dream is."

Mikan choked on her currently eaten strawberry daifuku. Seriously? The Prime Minister wants to know her dream. For real?

"P-Pardon me, can you repeat your question, Ibaragi-san?" Mikan asked politely. Her voice has returned to normal.

"If I may know," he looked at Mikan intensely with his bark blue eyes. "What is your dream?"

"I…Uh, well, it's quite a question, nee?" Mikan cleared her throat. "Uh, dream, huh? Well, Ibaragi-san, I have more than one dream. I have a lot of dreams. But if you say what I want to be in the future," Mikan looked at the blue eyed older man in front of her with sparkling eyes. "I want to be a multitalented idol." Mikan stated determinedly.

The man just smiled. "I'm sure the fact that you're an heiress did not make you give up that easily."

"Yes, you are right."

The man stood up and bowed a little. "Well then, Miss Mikan. I have to go for a meeting."

"Oh, sure. Let me bid you." Mikan set her wheelchair closer to him.

The older man just shook his head. "That won't be necessary, Miss Mikan. You can just bid me here. I will make sure that from now on, your safety is completely under control and we will make sure to make you comfortable. I will come again on the day you begin the new immunity system process."

"Thank you very much, Ibaragi-san."

"And, Miss Mikan," Masato said before he got to the front door of the Yukihira Mansion. "I'm sure you will meet my daughter when you start to enter the idol's world." After that, he left.

Mikan was happy that day from meeting people such as Ibaragi Masato.

At night, Hotaru's dad told Mikan that they would begin the process right after she could walk, when her body returns to its stable condition.

The new way that he meant was with simulations. But they still had to inject certain chemicals into her body. Not all of the simulations are comfortable. In fact, the pain that she felt was just the same as the older way that she used previously. But it's okay, her friends were always by her side.

Unfortunately, those simulations took more time, almost two years, and Mikan called it house-arrest. Well, she was not allowed to go outside of her house gate. Her dad often joked about the house-arrest thing. She named it, not him.

She was still studying. In fact, most of her time was filled with study. You could say that she now had the brain of a high-schooler. Well, Hotaru has the brains too.

Such a boring life she had that time, and now her adventure begins.

In this school, Gakuen Alice.

At least, this is the second place that is safe for her.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They're all getting worried of Mikan. Why did she just suddenly stop? Is there something wrong with her? Her body, perhaps? Or maybe because Hotaru was using foul language?

Well, it was all proven wrong.

Mikan looked up at them with teary eyes. "H-Hotaru~!" And there were these sparkling—sparkling things around her.

Oh, dear.

"What is it this time?" Hotaru sighed.

"I'm so, so touched by your defense on me back then. U-Uuu~" Mikan sniffled, big tears in her eyes.

"Mikan-chan…" Anna and Nonoko sweat-dropped.

"Ugh, Mikan…" Sumire grunted. "We're not here to hear how you feel touched by Hotaru's defense. But that Koizumi kinda deserved it."

"Well, she deserved being treated so badly like that. She has been treating the other students like they were her slaves!" Anna followed, her face look horrified, like she was imagining herself as the bullied student.

"Yeah, I've seen her bully one of the girls in our class before. Just because the girl was helping Nogi-kun before. Just helping him!" Nonoko stated with an annoyed face.

"But, you helped her, right? The bullied girl, I mean." Mikan asked.

"Yeah, I helped the girl. But she wouldn't dare pick a fight with me. At that time, Nogi-kun was near us. So fortunate for me. Haha." Nonoko laughed.

"Good," Mikan turned to Hotaru. "Hotaru, what's with the foul words just now?" Mikan scowled.

Hotaru once again sighed. The others chuckled. Hotaru could only be like that in front of them, and the cause was Mikan.

"God, Mikan. Please, don't even start it." Hotaru huffed. Mikan swayed her pointing finger in front of Hotaru's face.

"No, no, no. I have to start it." Mikan insisted stubbornly.

Hotaru huffed. "It's because I'm pissed off with Koizumi? Which is right. And for you, so she wouldn't dare treat you like that again." She finally answered.

Mikan stared at her intensely, her lips pouting. "Alright," Mikan huffed and crossed her arm on her chest. "I believe you. But you don't have to do it, you know. I can defend myself."

"Oh really, huh?" Sumire snorted while putting her hands on her hips. Her eyebrows taunted against each other. "So tell me, why is Rei here? He's been here since…a week ago."

Mikan averted her gaze and put her hands behind her. "Well~" She looked at them through her eyelashes. They all had a serious face.

"Papa said Rei had to be around me. He said even if the Academy is the second safe place for me, Rei still has to be around me, 24/7. That's why he signed Rei up as the P.E and defense teacher a week ago." Mikan smiled sheepishly. But then she huffed. "At first, I didn't believe it when Papa said he would sign Rei up as a teacher here. But then I see my schedule today, and when I see P.E, the name of the teacher was Rei. I mean, Persona."

"What the heck is with that Persona name? I liked Rei better. Persona is kind of ridiculous for me." Hotaru snorted.

"Yeah, Hotaru's right! And when I first saw him teaching a week ago, I was like, 'what the hell!' And then he was smirking at me, like he was saying, 'so what?' Ugh, I really want to wipe that smirk off his face. That smirk of his is really annoying. I know that we are friends with him, aside from the age gap we have with him, we're still friends. But I really get annoyed with with his attitude. So called 'hot badass teacher.'" Sumire grumbled grumpily. She and Rei have a really funny connection as friends. They kind of look like they hate each other, but no. Sumire is actually very grateful to his brotherly attitude, and he teaches her martial arts too.

"He what? Hot badass teacher? Who called him that?" Mikan laughed at the name.

"Koizumi Luna." The four of them answered. Mikan stop laughing and looked at them. That name, again?

"Seriously?" Mikan asked in a monotone voice.

"Yeah, Koizumi is a fanatic fangirl of every hot guy she knows. An unashamed little girl who flirts shamelessly with low life hot boys and also a gold digger." Hotaru answered with a scowl. Such a low life woman. Imagining her flirting shamelessly with a dirty man makes Hotaru want to puke.

Mikan ignored Hotaru's opinion of Luna and instead said, "I can't believe Rei got the title 'hot badass teacher.' Just wait until they see Rei's ridiculous picture." Mikan laughed. The rest followed her, even Hotaru. But soon she realize,

"Wait, if his so called 'loyal fangirls' sees his ridiculous pictures, his good pictures will be a waste and can't be sold anymore." She muttered seriously.

Mikan, Sumire, Anna, and Nonoko face palmed. Oh, dear.

"You sold his good pictures?" Mikan asked.

"He has the charm and a bunch of fangirls. I can be super rich with the money I can get for selling it." She said with a matter-of-fact voice.

"Oh, Hotaru! You are rich already!" Mikan practically screamed at her face right now.

"Baka, I love money. Money is everything."

"Not everything, Hotaru."

Hotaru just shrugged. "Yeah, I know what you mean." Mikan sighed in defeat. Ah, she loved this reunion. But their last meeting was a week ago, before Rei signed up as their teacher. Haha. Whatever.

Nonoko glanced at her pastel blue wrist watch, 5 minutes left before Jinno-sensei comes to their class.

"Hey, we have 5 minutes left before Math with Jinno-sensei. We better get going now." She announced to her friends. They all nodded and started to walk back to the classroom.

"Oh hey, can you send Misaki a mail to tell her to meet up with us at lunch later?" Mikan asked.

Anna was the one who responded. "Sure thing." And mailed Misaki to meet up with them at lunch.

"Hey, why—" Mikan said only to be cut off by Nonoko's squeak. "Two minutes left! Hurry, hurry!"

And they ran, laughing. Including Hotaru.

Meanwhile in class….

The class was quiet. Very quiet. After Mikan and the others left the classroom, the class became quiet and nobody dared to talk.

It was because of Mikan. Their heads were full of questions of why Mikan had known Hotaru and the others, and many more. But also because of Natsume. There's a very dark and creepy aura surrounding him. It's better his face was not showed. Just by sensing his bad aura now made everyone have goose bump. Imagine seeing his face, his expression; it's scary.

Ruka, Koko, Kitsu, and Yuu stole glances and gathered closer.

"This is bad. His aura is…One of us will be dead." Koko said, um, whispered in fear. There were no goofy smiles on his face.

Kitsu, the one that was always said to be the twin of Koko, nodded. "I have goosebumps now. What do we do now? Ruka! Do something." He also talked with a hushed voice and from time to time, glanced at Natsume's figure that was right behind them.

Ruka sighed in defeat. "Who knew there would be a girl who could do something like that to him?"

Yuu adjusted his glasses. "I know there are girls who could do that kind of thing to Natsume. For example: Imai Hotaru, Harada Misaki, Shouda Sumire, Umenomiya Anna, Ogasawara Nonoko, and lastly, the most controversial one, Sakura Mikan." Yuu had his laptop in hand. All he did during the conversation was searching up information about a certain brunette that made Natsume in such a bad mood.

Koko sneered. "There's no way Shouda would do something like that to Natsume. Remember, Natsume is a hottie, and we all know Shouda wouldn't win against it."

Ruka narrowed his eyes. "All you can say is about Shouda." Koko blushed a little at what Ruka has said. "And Imai is normal in this case. Everybody knows how she works."

"You are talking about Imai all the time, too. Imai this, Imai that." Koko muttered. Ruka blushed furiously and retorted. "I'm just saying! I do not always talk about Imai!" Koko just snorted.

Yuu whispered again to them, "I notice weird things about Sakura Mikan."

His friends' attention were now all to him. Natsume decided to pay attention to him.

"Spit it out, Yuu." A low husky voice said behind them. His voice sounded like he was avoiding any attention, because the voice was so low, but just enough for them to hear.

Ruka immediately looked back. "Natsume…."

"Just spit it out." Natsume said again in his low voice, but his voice was more demanding.

Yuu sweat dropped. He then adjusted his eyeglasses. "I'm sure all the information of Gakuen Alice's students can be obtained easily. Even if he or she is a scholarship. But, it does not work that way with Sakura Mikan." He then looked at Natsume, who already lifted his manga from his face and looked directly at Yuu.

"I couldn't find anything about her. I can't find any information about Sakura Mikan."

Koko lifted his eyebrows. "You can always hack, right? You're very good at hacking, anyway."

"He can't hack anything if he can't find anything at all." Natsume grumbled darkly.

This doesn't make any good signs.

Natsume was silent for a while. His eyes get darker every minute.

"Let's get out of here." Natsume finally said and they all followed him, walking out of the classroom. Even if they have Jinno after homeroom, they didn't really care and didn't have to worry. They will be with Natsume all the time while they can. They wouldn't leave Natsume. Natsume is very important to them. Because they can never have anybody that is just like Natsume.

And, just in a few seconds after Jinno got to class 2-B, they will be there after him.

Natsume wouldn't let his best friend ditch because their brain was not like his. Not ditching, but maybe late.

Natsume POV

To say that I'm not pissed off was totally wrong. I am pissed off. At who? Answer: That new polka-dotted panties girl, of course. She dared to insult me. How could she? Who does she think she's dealing with? Me. The Hyuuga Natsume. The first son of Hyuuga Ioran, CEO of Hyuugan Corporation, one of the most successful corporation in the world, and Hyuuga Kaoru, the famous and very talented actress, who is also the owner of the new and famous acting school, well not really a school, but basically it is school; Kuroshi Acting School. She, herself, made the name totally weird and meaningless. And lastly, I'm the sole heir of Hyuugan Corp.

I don't have a brother, so I'm the sole heir. I only have a sister. A ten year old little sister.

Enough with my introduction. I'm pissed off. Well, it's a bit at ease because of the company of my best friends at my side. I may be cold and such a grump, but I'm still human.

Still, that Sakura Mikan is really weird and a little bit mysterious. It's getting weirder when Yuu said he couldn't find any information about her, which was impossible. But, it's true. Damn.

"Dude, you look really scary right now. Enough thinking about her already. What she did to you will be forgotten in no time." Koko said. We had been sitting under a Sakura tree, my Sakura tree, enjoying some time before we were going to hell: Jinno.

"It's because of her. It's because she was the one who did this that it would be unforgettable. If it's that Koizumi, who have no courage at all, yeah, it would be unforgettable too but in a different way." I said.

"What's the difference, anyway?" Ruka, my very best buddy since forever, asked.

"Sakura has the courage from the very beginning and Koizumi does not. And it would be the end of the world if Koizumi ever did that kind of thing to me." You know, the thing Sakura Mikan did to me. Insult me. Still, there's a weirder thing about her. When I give her my 'present' she was so stiff when I griped her. And from what I saw, she didn't even notice her stiffness.

"I don't know. Maybe Koizumi could call you jerk, or whatever she wants at your back. Like when she was in her room. You wouldn't know what she's doing in her dorm room." Kitsu said.

"Nah, that would be the most trendy topic of Alice News. You know, with this new author, Cool Blue Sky, she or he was so, so, I don't know. But she or he can find anything she want and get any information so accurately. Cool Blue Sky can even get very accurate pictures. I can't believe there's a human who could do anything like Cool Blue Sky. The last one was that she accidentally kissed you in cheek. Eww, that must be very disgusting, man. Oh, and an issue about Koizumi was about her being the 'Quenn Bee' of the school, nothing less anymore." Yuu said, glancing at his phone.

"Don't make me remember such a disgusting memory." I grumbled. "Tch, come one, let's go. We have Jinno in two minutes."

We all stood lazily and began walking to every students' fear, except me, who didn't think too much about it: the hell of Jinno.

But there is some kind of different feeling that I feel. It makes me quite uneasy. Maybe just unimportant feelings that you always feel unexpectedly.

Just unimportant feelings.

End of Natsume's POV

Normal POV

There stood a tall man with silver-ish blond hair and royal blue eyes. His face was painted with a cheerful smile that looked just like his daughter's. He was wearing a baby blue colored collar shirt with midnight blue tailored trousers. He looked perfectly fine.

In front of him stood a taller man with similar facial features as him. The difference was that the taller man had a pair of ocean blue eyes and was wearing a perfectly tailored black suit with dark blue as the color of the shirt and red as the color of the necktie.

"Brother, it is just a few hours after her freedom from house arrest. It's impossible that she's have problems already." The shorter man said with a cheerful voice. His hands hugged his brother's shoulders with carefreeness.

"House arrest? I really don't understand the way you're brain works, Izumi." It was Kazumi's voice.

"Ah. Her words, not mine. But my brain is the one that made me like this. A very successful businessman. It's also from the help of you guys. So, what's going on with my Mikan? I know she's not a perfectly good girl, but she is a good girl. There's no way you would suddenly call me just after a few hours after Mikan arrived here." The man, Izumi, Mikan's father, said.

"It's not like what you think, Izumi. She's doing a good thing. Technically, it wasn't you the one she wanted to meet. It's the Head of the Security that she wanted to meet. Since you are the one who arranging the security system and made the guard shift schedule, you're the one responsible to this problem she has dealt." Kazumi explained.

Izumi crossed his arms. "I see. I know she can do that kind of thing. I taught her. Then when can I meet her?"

"After school."

Izumi put his index finger under his chin, as if thinking. "Okay…It's still in a very long time, so shall we do something else, brother? Today is my off day. I have plenty of time."

"How about Yuka? Why don't you spend your times with her?" Kazumi asked boringly. He still had other jobs actually. Taking care of two school at once was not easy.

"She's still busy. Our agency has made a new program, a new project. She was the one who took care of the project." There, crossed another perfectly handsome smile, but the smile, was proud. You could see very clearly that this man was perfectly proud of his wife.

"I guess the project is very new? When will it be announced?" Now Kazumi asked with interest.

"It is very new. It will be announced very soon too. Announced in a place that will make you and especially Mikan surprised." Izumi said in a teasing voice.

"It has to be good." Kazumi narrowed his eyes.

Izumi looked up at the clear spring sky. "It is something good."

'And will change her completely. My Mikan, we are giving you a way to your dreams. You better use it carefully.' The man thinks as he warmly smiled at the thought.

He turned again to his older brother with a goofy smile. "So, what should we do today, onii-san?" Izumi said cheerfully. His little brother character took over him again.

Kazumi got an idea and grabbed Izumi's collar.

"W-Where are we going?" Izumi asked his older brother nervously. He had a feeling it would be no good and contained papers and letters.

"You," Kazumi said as he looked at his little brother from his shoulder, "are going to help me with my job in taking care of two schools at once." He smiled evilly.

Izumi put on a horrified face. His face drained from its' color, turning white.

"W-WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

There the new chapter. I'm very sorry. Please forgive me, dear readers. And the next chapter will be updated as fast as I can. I'm quite busy with my last year of middle school.

And if you find it all OOC, its okay. It's just, I want to make them human and their characteristic is just a façade. I can't stand seeing them in the same chara every time.

I just make them human, okay?

Oh, please, give me reviews, dear readers. Thank you. I love you guys. Muach.

And thank you, Wendy-senpai for revising this chapter.

Love,
