Chapter 6-Ability Class

Sumire was upset…no…she was more than upset. She was furious. For the past week, she has been trying to find out the Alices of the new students and yet they refused to show her, let alone tell her what they could do!

Her eyes glared at the five students who were ignoring her glares or just didn't feel it. She felt like her mind was going crazy from not knowing what they could do! And she would do whatever she could to find out what Alices the five had, no matter what! Even if she had to do something extreme!

Then, as if the Heavens were granting her wish, Narumi looked to the five students with a smile on his face before he asked, "Haruno-chan, Haruno-kun, Soma-chan, Soma-kun, and Azumi-chan; can you please tell me your Alices so I know which Ability class I have to assign you all in?"

Everybody's attention was suddenly grabbed, with the exception of Hotaru, Natsume, and Ruka. However, it seemed as though Natsume and Ruka were only slightly interested. Sumire on the other hand, was thanking the gods in her mind as she cast a look at the five students who looked unsure of showing the entire class their Alices.

Finally Mikan had smiled and said, "I guess it is bad to keep secrets. Okay then!"

"I'll go first!" Yuki cried and he jumped into the air. Then he held out his hands and all of a sudden, a strange blast burst from his hand and slammed against the wall while at the same time, something seemed to have cut Narumi's cheek for he was now freaking out over his bleeding cheek. "…Opps…" Yuki said sheepishly while Berry bonked his head which seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

"Idiot. We told you to be careful how many times already…" Suzune muttered before he took a look at the class and sweat dropped. Everybody was staring at Yuki with awe, as though he were some sort of God. "…Right…" He muttered before he stood up. "As you can see, Yuki's Alice is Wind. He can control the wind currents around him and even make himself go into the air."

Again, everybody stared at the childish boy with awe while that very boy didn't care for the attention he gained.

Then Yume jumped to the air too with a smile on her face. "My turn!" She said excitedly before she held out her hands. Not wanting to get hurt like how Narumi did, everybody backed away while Natsume looked with slight interest after seeing Yuki's Alice. Yume grinned and she pulled back for a moment before she threw something that could be a punch but instead, ice shards appeared and threw themselves at the wall.

Everybody nearly screamed at the shock of not seeing the ice shards but seeing her own body becoming ice itself and her hands missing. Berry sighed at this and said, "Yume, you went too far…"

Yume blushed and sighed. "Sorry…" Then her hand started to return from the ice that formed it first and it slowly regained to its rightful state. "At least I didn't hurt Narumi-sensei like baka Yuki did."

"HEY!" Yuki cried as Yume glared at her little brother. He grumbled angrily but said nothing more.

"Well, now you know that she has the Ice Alice" Suzune muttered.

Mikan laughed at the simple relationship the two twins had before Berry stood up and she stopped. Berry too held out her hand but instead, a dead rose was held in her hands. It had lost its color and looked completely dehydrated. Everybody looked at it in confusion before the flower suddenly bloomed back to life, the beautiful red now tainting the pale petals and the green leaves lush in the color of green. Berry looked at Narumi who too looked shocked. "I have the Alice of life…not healing. I can stop death and overcome it." She whispered. "But I can also take away that life." And then the rose suddenly started to wither away, turning to dust.

Everybody shivered at that while Narumi and Natsume shivered, both being terribly reminded of Persona's Alice.

But then Berry smiled. "But I would never do that…I hate killing. I hate death, even though I don't fear it." Then she sat down and the room was silent. "So don't expect to see me use my Alice again."

Then Suzune stood up. He sighed. "I don't really want to show my Alice or anything but whatever." Then he held out his hand and suddenly, something appeared in his hand. It was a staff of strange inscriptions, design, and material. Everybody looked confused and Suzune said, "I have the Alice of Imagination or whatever you want to call it. Whatever I think of, I can make it come true. Or rather, I can make it appear. Like flames that don't burn or a gun that doesn't shoot bullets. However, because of the unstableness of my damn Alice, I often have to stop my emotions. My emotions control my Alice..." Then he sat down.

Natsume's eyes narrowed. So those were the blue flames he had that time! He thought before he turned to Mikan who had stood up.

She gave a smiled before she said, "My Alice isn't special like these four but they say it helps them a lot." She blushed. "Well, my Alice is Nullification. I can nullify anybody's Alice and stop them from using it completely and stop them from attacking anybody I want to protect."

At those words, everybody looked slight shocked before Sumire cried, "That's impossible! I heard of Nullification and even though it's rare and all…it can only protect the stupid user! You can't stop anybody Alice's when it's used against somebody else but you!"

Mikan turned to Sumire before she giggled. "Who do you think is helping these four control their Alices from all of you?" She asked with a small smirk. "Yuki would be cutting everything, Yume would have an Ice body or would've froze you all to death, Berry would've actually killed you all and bring you back to life every time and Suzune...well he just said that it depends with his emotions and he can get pissed pretty quickly."

At those words, everybody gulped before Berry glared at Mikan. "Don't reveal too much baka."

Suzune also glared at her. "And I do not get pissed quickly." He said in a pissed tone.

The other girl smiled sheepishly. "But Permy was annoying me by saying my Alice was pathetic!" She said in a whiny voice before Suzune flicked her forehead and she groaned at the slight pain. "Meanie!" She cried as Suzune only rolled his eyes at the girl. "And you're getting pretty angry right now Suzune!"

Yume sighed before she turned to Narumi. "Then, Narumi-sensei; which Ability class will we go to?" She asked as Narumi snapped out of his dazed state and with a sheepish chuckle, he nodded and looked at all the five.

"Okay then, it seems that you four can only really control your Alices because of Mikan-chan's...Nullification Alice. I suppose that puts you four in the Dangerous Ability...although, I'm not entire sure about Suzune's-"

"I will not be separated from Berry, no matter how annoyed she makes me."

"Aw, I hate you too, dear brother."

Narumi and the class sweat dropped." Right...and then Mikan-chan can go to the Special Ability Class because of her Nullification." He said with a smile as Mikan smiled back at him. However, the other four looked less than pleased.

The other four had scowls on their faces before Yuki asked in a loud voice, "Why are we getting separated from Mikan? I don't want to!" He cried as Yume too began to protest loudly.

Narumi looked flustered and scared of the two twins now as he backed away while the air in the room started to get chilled and the wind started to pick up. Everybody else backed away from the twins whose Alices started to get out of control before Mikan placed her hands on their shoulders gently. Yuki and Yume turned to her and Mikan smiled. "Hey, don't worry. It's not like I'm not going to see you ever again, right?" Then she leaned forward and whispered, "This might also be a good chance to get into the ESP's personal circle and find a way to send information to the others and even save Gakuen Alice."

At those words, the twins froze, their eyes looking shocked with realization before they pouted and muttered an okay to the other girl who smiled at the twins. Then Yuki looked at Mikan. "You'll be okay without us?" He asked softly.

Mikan blinked. That shocked her for a bit, knowing that the four were mostly there to accompany her as well as protect her. A kind smile appeared on her lips as she was about to reply back but Berry stopped her. Mikan turned to look at Berry who smiled softly. "Be safe…okay?"

The girl blushed slightly and smiled before the other four turned to Narumi, asking for the way. Narumi then looked at Natsume, telling him to take them to their new class. Natsume only tched in annoyance before standing up and headed to the door with the four following him. He stopped for a moment though and turned to look at Mikan who blinked confusingly.

He narrowed his eyes before leaving the classroom.

Mikan shivered. She knew…he was suspicious…

"Now then…ummm…ah; Hotaru-san, can you and Yuu-kun show Mikan where the Special Ability class is?" Narumi asked and Mikan turned to the two students.

Then she blinked, staring at Hotaru who seemed to have stiffened from the innocent question. Her eyes weren't shown and she wasn't saying anything. Ruka looked at her, worried and knowing what was wrong while Yuu looked at her, worried as well. Then Yuu said, "Ah, Imai-san; I can take her there myself. You don't have to-"

"I'll go. You stay." Hotaru said, standing up.

Yuu blinked. "H-Huh?"

"I'll take…Azumi there." Hotaru said, looking at Narumi and ignoring Ruka's confused and worried gaze.

Narumi nodded and then smiled at Mikan. "Okay then; just follow Hotaru-san, okay?"

Mikan smiled. "Sure." Then Hotaru walked out of the room silently while Mikan followed with a skip in her steps. The room was quiet as soon as they walked out, bewildered and confused by the Alices just shown and the actions of Imai Hotaru.

Back to the two girls, Mikan was humming as the two continued on their way. Along the way, Mikan looked out of a window from the hall to see her friends and Natsume walking the opposite direction. Curiosity sparked inside her and she asked, "Ne, Imai-san, do you know-"

"Don't call me that…"

"Eh?" Mikan looked at Hotaru in confusion. However, Hotaru seemed to realize what she said and blushed deeply before looking away from her. "I hate the san, kun, and chan stuff unless I'm doing it…just call me Imai."

Mikan blinked in confusion but nodded. "Okay then…Imai…eto…do you know where the Dangerous Ability class is?"

Hotaru stopped, momentarily confused from the question and turned to stare at the girl with a hard stare. "What?" Mikan prepared to repeat her question but Hotaru stopped her. "Why do you want to know where that class is?" She asked. Then before Mikan could answer, Hotaru shook her head. "Nobody knows where it is. Only the DA class knows." She said before she turned and continued on their way.

"…Oh…" Mikan muttered in disappointment. She had hoped to pop into the class and scare her friends…if they could be scared. Then she sighed and followed Hotaru.

The rest of the trip was…uneventful. Hotaru completely ignored Mikan and Mikan wasn't even paying attention to that fact. Instead, she was talking about random things like animals and bugs and such.

Then they were near. Hotaru cast Mikan a small look and her eyes widened to see Mikan stop in front of a dead bush of flowers. Mikan was touching the bush when suddenly, the bush slowly started to come to life, the flowers regaining their usual beautiful color and the leaves gaining that wonderful green hue. In fact, it seemed like the flowers looked much beautiful than before.

Mikan smiled in content while Hotaru stared with wide and shocked eyes. How…? She wondered before she said, "Hurry up Azumi…"

Mikan blinked and turned, grinning. "Sure!" She said before running to catch up to the girl who now had more on her mind than she would've wished while Mikan only hummed in happiness.

What was that? Wasn't that Haruno Berry's Alice? Then she bit her lips, knowing that she was right. If so, then why did Azumi have that Alice? It should be impossible! Unless…she was lying about her Alice…but why would she? There's no point of it… She thought nothing more when they finally arrived at their destination. "Well…we're here…" She muttered.

The other girl smiled at Hotaru who blinked in surprise. "Thank you Imai!" She said before she stepped forward and knocked on the door. Hotaru said nothing but instead, a small blush appeared on her face.

That face…was just like Mikan's. There was no mistaking it! And now, she knew that this girl wasn't…normal. After all, how could she look so much like Mikan, have two Alices (unless she was lying about the Nullification), and most importantly, even have the same damn personality as her dead best friend? This was suspicious, no matter how much she didn't want it to be.

Finally, the door opened and a boy was shown. A knowing look appeared on his face while Mikan smiled happily. "Tsubasa-sempai!" She cried as the older teen before her, Tsubasa, grinned.

"Mikan! I just knew you were going to be in this class! Come on!" Then he took notice of Hotaru. "Oh, Hotaru-chan; long time no see. How's Amanatsu?" He asked. Hotaru only muttered an okay as Tsubasa grinned. "Same passive Hotaru…" He said affectionately while Hotaru glared at him hotly.

Then Mikan looked at Hotaru. "Who's Amanatsu?" She asked.

"She's a robot Hotaru-chan made." Tsubasa explained.

"That's so cool!" Mikan cried.

Tsubasa nodded. "Yups! Also…" He blinked and stared at Mikan. "Now that I think about it…Amanatsu looks exactly like you…"

"…Eh…?"

"Okay, that's enough. Here; I brought Azumi here. Bye." Hotaru said, her tone seeming irritable before she turned around and left.

Mikan stared after Hotaru, confused while Tsubasa sighed. "Anyway, come on in Mikan." He said as Mikan nodded and they stepped inside.

Soon, the whole class was introduced to the girl who was smiling so brightly. However, two were silent as they watched Mikan interact with the students. Misaki turned to Tsubasa. "Isn't it strange...her eyes color?"

Tsubasa frowned as well. "Actually, I've been thinking about that since I've met her...her eyes just doesn't seem natural...don't you think?"

Misaki nodded. "I wonder what made her eyes color become like that...it's...a bit worrisome." She said softly.

Then suddenly, Mikan popped in front of them. "What are you two talking about?" She asked cheerfully but also scaring the two that they screamed like bloody hell. Mikan fell to the floor from the scream and moaned in pain. "That hurt!" She cried as she rubbed her ears while the rest of the class was laughing.

Tsubasa and Misaki look apologetic and Tsubasa helped Mikan to her feet. "Sorry about that Mikan. You just scared us!" He said as Mikan giggled.

"Yume and Berry says I have a knack for that!" She said happily.

Is that even a good thing? Tsubasa and Misaki thought while the rest of the class roared in laughter while Mikan giggled.

~.~.~

"So you four are the new students..." A soft but dark voice whispered.

"Yups!" Everybody in the class stared at the four, mainly Yuki who was smiling very brightly, despite the eerie silence in the classroom.

Meanwhile, Berry and Suzune were scowling and Yume was just standing there with a frown on her face. It was small but it was there. In fact, she was actually glaring at the teacher who spoke just then, Persona.

So that's Persona...? She thought before she nodded. "Yeah, we're the new students. So tell me, what does this class do?" She asked.

Persona said nothing but motioned the four to sit down. Yuki immediately took up that offer while Berry, Suzune, and Yume were hesitant. Then they followed Yuki's actions and glared at the man in front of them before he held out something that made them angered: Alice Restrainers.

Yuki looked at him. "Why do we need that?" He asked innocently while the rest of the class besides a few selected smirked at the boy's idiocy.

"Why else? Your Alices are dangerous and these restrain your Alices."

"I know that but Mikan already does that job and-"

"Yuki!" Yume whispered. "Just take it!"

Yuki immediately pouted and crossed his arms. "I don't wanna." He said. The room was suddenly eerily silent while the students stared at Yuki in shock. "Those things are stupid! I don't need them!"

"Yes, you do." Everybody turned to Berry who had a sour look. "Who was it that nearly destroyed our home?"

The silver haired boy paled. "Uh..."

"I thought so. Now take it."

Yuki was hesitant before he reluctantly took one. However, Persona gave him three more, making the boy even more angered but with one glare sent to him by his sister and his friends, he had immediately shut up and pouted angrily. Then the other three accepted theirs and put them on so quickly that the others in the room wondered how they did it so fast.

Then Persona went up to the front of the room and turned back, now holding a bunch of folders. "I have missions for several of you all but for now, Black Cat, you are to go to...Hokkaido; there's something that we need you to...ah...investigate." Natsume's eyes narrowed but he grunted. Besides him, a little boy was completely silent, his eyes a little worried. Persona smiled at Natsume. "You know when to meet with me."

Berry frowned as did Suzune and Yume. Then suddenly, Persona turned to Yuki who blinked in shock. He had a sadist smile. "I would like you to accompany Natsume." He said.

"Wait, we're new students! You can't just force us to go do whatever you want right away, right?" Yume cried. "I mean...I know what these classes do...we heard from the elementary principal...but still! He said that we didn't have to start until much later and-"

"Yume, stop." Yume froze and looked at Yuki who was looking at Persona. No longer were his eyes like a child. No longer did they look innocent. They instead look like a fierce yet calm and determine creature, ready to take on with full force. "This is between him and me...it's a challenge...isn't it?"

Persona smiled. "Well, it seems like you're actually one to catch on quickly."

Yuki shrugged, his eyes never changing. "I suppose..."

The man was very silent as he stared at Yuki's determined eyes. Then Persona turned to Natsume. "Make sure he comes with you on time." He said. "You may all go." He said before he turned and left the room silently.

As soon as he left, the tension in the room disappeared...well most of it. Instead, the students all turned at the new ones. A long haired boy stepped up to them, smiling at Yuki and Suzune. "Hello, you two sure are cute for boys aren't you?" He asked. "You two could be girls!"

All of a sudden, Suzune glared at him with a dark look, making the boy step back in shock. "...Don't...call...me...a...damn...girl..." Suzune whispered darkly.

Yuki only pouted, his serious character disappeared. "I'm not a girl! I'm a man!" He cried.

The teen sweat dropped. "...Uh...right...anyway, I'm Amane Rui. I have the Curse Alice." He said sweetly. "And this is Nobara-chan and she has the Ice Alice." Immediately, he pulled a girl besides him who looked very nervous and scared.

At that, Berry and Yume quickly rushed forward and hit the boy's face with their feet. "Get away from her you freak!" They both cried.

"HEY!" Rui cried. "Nobara-chan is my sister! You can't take her from me!"

"She's shy and afraid. You didn't need to force her to introduce herself." Berry said accusingly.

Rui gasped. "Ah! You're right...I'm sorry Nobara-chan!"

"I-It's alright...R-Rui-san..." Nobara whispered before she blushed and looked at Berry and Yume with hopeful eyes.

Yume smiled. "You know, we have a friend that can cure that shyness of yours! Come with us later and you can meet her!" She said.

Nobara stared at her with wide eyes. "...I-"

"I FOUND YOU GUYS!"

Everybody was suddenly silent when the door slammed open and Mikan rushed in, panting heavily. "Berry, Suzune, Yuki, Yume, I brought some cake! You guys gotta try it! I heard it's from Central Town! The entire Special Ability class said I could give it to you...and...uh..." Mikan blinked as everybody stared at her. "...Um...am I interrupting something...?" She asked nervously.

"Who are you?" A boy, Hayate asked, his sharp eyes glaring at Mikan who did not seem to notice his glares.

"I'm Sa- Azumi Mikan!" Mikan said happily. "I'm a new transfer student! Oh, do you guys want cake too? There's enough for everybody!" She said as she counted the total amount of heads in the room.

Silence filled the room before there was a sudden growl and nearly everybody jumped. They all turned to the source of the noise to see Yuki laughing. "I want cake!" He cried before he was suddenly in front of Mikan.

Yume giggled. "I want some too Mikan!" She said as she walked over to Mikan who happily gave the two twins cake.

Rui frowned while Nobara nervously looked at Mikan. Mikan noticed her stares and smiled at Nobara. "Hi, you want some cake? It's really good!" She said happily.

Nobara blushed and looked down. However, a happy smile was on her face before she nodded and Mikan handed her a cake when suddenly a fire blasted in front of Mikan's face, making her cry out in shock.

Immediately Berry and Suzune glared at Natsume. The boy however was not affected. Instead he glared at Mikan. "How the hell did you find this place?" He asked the question that everybody wanted the answers to.

Mikan looked at Natsume, frowning slightly. "Baka. I just looked around and found you guys! Baka Hyuuga-kun!" She cried before sticking out her tongue.

A couple of seconds passed when Hayate snorted. "Pbth...the transfer just called Natsume a baka...!" He said, wanting to laugh but instead held it down. Meanwhile, Rui was doing the same. The teen, Hajime was just staring with a blank look on his face. Meanwhile, the youngest in the group seemed bothered by that before he glared at Mikan like Natsume was doing right now.

"And if you didn't want cake, you just had to say so." Mikan said before handing the cake back to Nobara with a kind smile to the girl who seemed overjoyed. Rui stepped up to her.

"You know, you're not so bad. Can I have a slice?"

Mikan beamed. "Of course!" Soon, nearly the entire class except for Natsume and Youichi had a piece. Then Mikan walked up to Natsume and smiled at Youichi. "Do you want a piece too?" She asked.

Youichi stared at her. "Go away ugly." He said.

Behind her, Yuki fell to the floor laughing while Yume sweat dropped. Mikan's smile twitched before she glared at Natsume. "You taught him that, didn't you?" She cried angrily. Natsume tched. Mikan gasped. "You...! You...! GAH!"

"I never see her get this fluttered." Berry commented while she stuck a piece of her cake into her mouth. Yume and Suzune nodded in agreement while Yuki continued to laugh. Nobara only giggled while Rui chuckled.

"She's...interesting." He said.

Hajime just nodded in agreement while Hayate laughed with Yuki.

Meanwhile, Youichi still accepted the cake. Mikan looked at Natsume. "Do you want?" She asked.

Natsume looked at her. "No."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Mikan sighed. "Fine...I guess...but you're missing out! The cake is really good-"

"I hate sweet things."

"EH? HOW COULD YOU?" Mikan, Yuki, and Yume cried out all at the same time. "SWEETS ARE THE BEST!" They all cried.

"No it's not." Berry and Suzune replied.

Then the three immediately got into a heated argument with the reluctant twins while the DA members watched from the sidelines as they all munched on their cakes.

"You know...I actually like these five."

"By the way, why did the girl say she was a transfer? Isn't she just a new student?" Hayate asked.

Nobara looked at him before she said shyly, "M-Maybe...she just made a mistake...?" She stated, trying to stand up for Mikan.

Natsume tched. "She's just an idiot." He said while Youichi simply munched on his cake, not even paying attention to the outside world and only paid his entire attention to the mouth watering cake.

"Why aren't you eating any cake?" Hajime asked.

"I don't want." Natsume said in a 'and that's final' tone.

"Hmm..." Hajime stuck another piece of cake into his mouth. "But I wonder...how did she get here? Wasn't there this Alice that prevents anybody that's not in the DA class to come in?" He asked to no one in particular but definitely got the original class's attention.

Rui frowned but then looked at Mikan. "Anyway, you said your name was Mikan-chan, right?" The five stopped their arguing, to Berry's and Suzune's relief, and looked at Rui. "Which Ability class are you in and why did you come here...or was it just because of the cake?"

Mikan smiled. "I'm in the Special Ability and yes, it was because of the cake. Oh, what Alice do the rest of you all have?" She asked excitedly. "I have the Nullification Alice so it's not really much."

But instead of answering, Rui stared. "Wait...that must be how she got into this class!" He said.

Nobara smiled at Mikan. "That's an amazing Alice M-Mikan-chan..."

Mikan smiled happily. "Thanks! You're Nobara-chan right? Such a pretty name! You're so pretty too! Oh, what's your Alice?"

All of a sudden, the girl looked down, nervous. But Yume popped in and said, "Same as mine!"

"Eh? You have the Ice Alice?"

"Eh?" Everybody but Natsume and the new students looked at Yume in shock. "Y-You have...the same as me...?" Nobara asked Yume.

Yume grinned. "Yups! But it might be a bit different..." She said.

"Yume can change her body to Ice! I can change my body to Wind!" Yuki said.

Hayate stared at Yuki. "You have the same Alice as me? But you can change to wind...? Wow! How is that even possible?"

"Here's an example, wait, Yuki just punch me." Yume said.

Yuki nodded before he stepped forward and punched her sister in the gut. Everybody but the Haruno twins and Mikan gasped when Yuki stepped back to see that Yume was not injured in any way and that her body...suddenly had an icy hole that was slowly rebuilding itself with the ice. "Basically, my whole body is Ice while Yuki's whole body is Wind." She said.

"That's so...cool..." Hayate said in shock while Yume's body turned back to normal.

"Oh, I just remembered; Berry, I met up with Narumi-sensei and he said that in the next class day...which is Monday...that he will assign us to partners." She said.

Berry frowned. "Partners...?"

"I honestly have no idea..." Mikan said, frowning as well before she brightened up. "Oh, I have to go! I promised Tsubasa-sempai that I'll talk to Bear-"

"EH? You're going to talk to that scary thing?" Yume asked, shock in her eyes.

Mikan sighed. "Sadly...yes...I promised..." She said before the two shuddered.

Nobara looked at Mikan. "W-Who is Bear...M-Mikan-chan...?" She asked.

"He's this really scary but super cute plushie bear in the forest." Mikan said. Suddenly, Youichi looked up, his eyes showing interest. "You want to come with me, Nobara-chan?" She asked.

Nobara looked at Rui who looked at bit annoyed that Nobara was being stolen by Mikan but nodded. "You can go Nobara-chan...you always wanted a friend, right?" He asked.

Then Nobara touched his arm and looked at him. "You'll still be...my sister...you're still...my family..." She whispered. At that, Rui smiled and then Nobara smiled shyly back. Then he pushed her to Mikan. "Okay M-Mikan-chan..can I come?" She asked.

Mikan grinned. "Sure!" Then she turned to Yume. "You want to come?" She asked.

"NO!"

Mikan sweat dropped as Yume hid behind Berry who too had a sweat drop. "...Okay..." She said when she suddenly felt a pull from her skirt and turned to see Youichi staring at her. "W-What?" She asked as she was already wary of the little boy.

"...Bear...?" He asked.

Mikan blinked and looked into his eyes. She smiled before she nodded. "Do you want to see Bear too?" She asked. Youichi was silent before he turned to look at Natsume who was frowning at Mikan But then the boy saw Youichi's stare and sighed before smiling. Youichi gave a small smile before he nodded at Mikan. "Okay then! Let's go!" She said to Nobara and Youichi.

The three left while the rest stayed behind. Yuki turned to Yume. "...A scary...plushie bear...?" He asked in a mocking tone and a cat grin.

His sister glared at her. "She hit Mikan who flew up like fifty feet into the air. Of course I'd be scared! And the thing was just a foot tall!"

Meanwhile, outside, far from Mikan's, Nobara's, and Youichi's view, Persona stepped out of the shadows. His mask was still on, giving a soft glow and his black lips itched into a smiled. "...Azumi Mikan...Nullification Alice..." He whispered before he stepped back into the shadows and far from sight.

Kura: And that's the ending! And again, really sorry for not updating in a LONG time! DX

Berry: Before we end, we would just like to say, please look at our poll.

Kura: Yes, I made new stories and it seems pretty stupid when I should be working on the ones already online but I just want to see which one people would like to read! But if you don't want to, then it's alright. But it will be mighty appreciated! XD

Berry: Please review.

Kura: BYE!
