A/N: Hello everyone! Seeing that there's only one week before classes resume, I will try to finish this fan fiction before summer vacation ends! Your reviews are welcome! Please tell me if I'm doing a good job so far! Thanks! I'll upload the upcoming chapters as fast as I could!

...

Mikan ran away, crying. Going directly to the teacher's lounge, she woke up Narumi-sensei, seeking comfort from her 'father'.

"Narumi-sensei! I don't want to stay in this academy anymore! I want to transfer to another country far, far away!" Mikan cried.

"Are you sure, Mikan? What about your friends?" What about Natsume?

"I think they'll manage without me. Please, otou-san, I want to go far away from here"

Narumi would have like to convince Mikan-chan to stay, and to tell her not to make impulsive decisions, but it was no use. She was bawling helplessly, and when Narumi told her that he will organize the needed documents for a transfer, that's when she calmed down and smiled at him wearily. "Okay, Mikan-chan. I'll handle everything you will need. In the meantime, I think you better go and do some advance studying. You will not be able to attend classes because you will have to prepare for your transfer. I advice you to clear your things up before you go. We don't want anything to mar your departure here, would we?" He smiled, a little forced.

"You're right, Narumi-sensei! I'll clear everything I can! I don't want to be stuck on one of Jinnu-sensei's assignments that will postpone me from transferring!" Mikan told him happily. With a look at her otou-san, Mikan understood perfectly. Narumi doesn't want her to leave.

"Narumi-sensei, I understand how you feel. But I know that this is for the best. I can't stand to be hurt again. And I know when I'm not wanted. I'm all grown up, otou-san, and I can take care of myself. You wouldn't want me to stay in this academy, wallowing in self pity, would you?"

Narumi looked at his student. Is this my Mikan-chan? She's so mature already!! I guess she's right. I can't allow her to die because of misery. No, I want Mikan-chanto be able to live in a happy environment. Start anew, because apparently, Natsume isn't right for her… I'll have to deal with him later."Okay, Mikan-chan, you win. I'll support whatever your decision may be. I trust you."And with that, father and daughter hugged with a silent understanding between them.

Hotaru and Ruka looked for Mikan but she cannot be found. Mikan somehow put a nullifying barrier around her, making it impossible for her inventions to track her down. So they went to Mr. Narumi to inquire about Mikan, but he only assured them that she is safe, but is not feeling well. Hotaru, though suspicious, accepted the reason that Mr. Narumi gave her.

Narumi sighed as he watched Ruka and Hotaru's retreating backs. He could still remember what Mikan told her when he asked what will he say to Hotaru if the inventor somehow asked him where she is.

FLASHBACK

"No! Please don't tell her or any of my friends the plans and arrangements that we made, Narumi-sensei. It will only cause trouble! I don't want them to be hurt just because of me!"

"Ne, Mikan-chan, don't you think that they also have the right to know what you're doing? Especially now that you're going to transfer into another academy?" Narumi asked, still hoping to convince his 'daughter'.

"Nope, Narummi-sensei. I don't want them to know any of this thing. It will only be harder for me to go away, which will cause more trouble."

End of Flashback

Narumi sighed. He sometimes wished that his human pheromone alice would work against Mikan's nullifying one, and this is one of those moments.

But faith has other plans on their lives, so it seems.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Days passed and Mikan still didn't come to class. Even Narumi wasn't attending his students' homeroom time anymore, sometimes; he's just poking his head at the door then telling them that they will be handled by a substitute teacher. This continued for a while until the Ice Queen cannot take it anymore. A pissed off Hotaru grabbed Natsume in the collar of his shirt using one of her inventions and pressed him back to the wall.

"Imai! What the hell are you doing?!" Natsume glared at Hotaru while trying to burn the blasted robot.

"It's fire-proof, Hyuuga, so don't waste your alice. I've got a question to ask you. Where's your girlfriend Sanchez? I want to see her. Actually, Animal Lover here and I have some questions to ask her." Hotaru said, still in monotone.

"Tsk." He too, doesn't know where Maria's whereabouts this moment, and since that fateful night when he lost control. He couldn't find Maria. And truth to be told…He wasn't too keen to find her. He just couldn't explain, but... He doesn't want to see her right now.

"Hmm... It seems to me that you yourself don't know where she is." She thought for a moment. "Hyuuga, do you have something that that Sanchez owns? I can track her down using my invention, the BAKA! Btch! Finder; specifically made for bitches like her." Hotaru said, still in monotone, but you can see a murderous glint in her eyes.

"I can help! I'll ask my animal friends in the woods to find her! Maybe she's hiding in there!" Ruka offered.

"Whatever." Natsume said, then coolly took of the robot's hand away from his collar. He turned to Hotaru. "Next time you do that, I won't be so tolerant anymore." Then he motioned for the two to follow him.

Hotaru just smirked in response.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Natsume gave Hotaru Maria's hairbrush that she left in his room, while Ruka is whispering orders to his friend eagle that is hovering outside Natsume's window.

After a few minutes…

"Bingo." Hotaru smirked, looking at her laptop screen, while the sound of Ruka's friend eagle's wings could be heard flapping. The three of them stood up and started to the direction of the Northern Woods.

Maria Sanchez is a very clever girl. Very clever indeed… or so she thinks. She had destroyed Natsume and Mikan's relationship, and made sure that Mikan asked for a transfer to another Alice academy in another country. Then, Reo-sama and other AAO agents would ambush the car that Mikan will use to go to the airport. Then, they will train her to be their ultimate weapon after erasing her memories of her past in this blasted academy.

"I had destroyed the Kuro Neko's relationship with Sakura! That one was so easy!"

"I had successfully made Sakura Mikan to transfer to another academy, giving way for a surprise attack. Reo-sama will be so proud of me!"

"I had informed Reo-sama about Sakura's transfer to prepare for the ambush! All's well according to plan!"

"WE will train that girl to be our ultimate weapon against this academy."

"I'm so clever! These academy fools don't know what hit them! Especially those students! The freaky inventor, ha! She calls herself genius, she doesn't even know what's going to happen to her bestfriend! And that Ruka Nogi, he's just slave of that freak! And don't let me start on the Kuro Neko! He was a good toy while it lasted. Shame that he's in the academy, otherwise, we would be really perfect for each other! "

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Maria Sanchez feels very clever indeed.

Or so she thinks.

Suddenly, she heard some noises behind her back. Turning around, she saw….

"You're dead, bitch." Hotaru Imai said, eyes glinting against the moonlight, behind her a furious Ruka Nogi and Natsume Hyuuga.
