Me: Chapter 9 is finally here!

Shiro and Shizuka: ...

Me: Comeon! Have some reaction!

Shiro: Yay.

Shizuka: Banzai.

Me: -sweatdrop- Anyways, I have something to inform you. From this chapter onwards, my updates will be less frequent as this year is actually the most important year in my history. Well, so far.

Shiro: Does that mean Shizuka and I will have lesser screen time?

Me: Yes and no. I'll still be updating once every 2 to 3 weeks and your screen times would be often. Anyways, enough chatting. SHIZUKA! SHIRO! INFORMATION.

Shizuka: 'Kays. For the screen time. C h i a k ixxx does not own Shugo Chara or Gakuen Alice but she does own Shiro-nii and I.

Shiro: Yes, madam!

Charas of the Gakuen Alice cast:
Mikan's chara – Hina and Mitsu (Hina's character is being strong, because Mikan wishes to become stronger so that she can protect her friends while Mitsu's represents Mikan's inner shine just like Dia. Although Mitsu's character is not really what it seems of the requirement of the embryo, Mitsu, is actually the embryo. Oh! I forgot! Mitsu can also grant wishes!)
Natsume's chara – Kei and Sakidatta (Kei's character is being social and strong. Kei is strong in the sense of friendship and is very friendly. Sakidatta represents the part of Natsume that loves bloodspill, just like Shizuka.)

All of them are 11 years old, except for Kukai, Utau, Yaya and Ikuto.

Pairings: NONE


In Gakuen Alice, Japan

"How do you think Mikan-chan is doing, Nonoko-chan?" a certain pink-haired girl asked the girl who was sitting beside her. Sitting beside Anna was a girl with blue long hair, and her name was Nonoko. Nonoko shook her head, unsure of what to answer her partner. "How I wish Natsume-san and Mikan-chan are still in the academy."

Anna's gaze turned to look an inventor and a blond haired boy with a bunny sitting on his lap. Nonoko said, "Even Ruka-san and Hotaru-chan are doing missions now."

Anna nodded and proceeded to sigh. Classes have been much more of a bore since the leave of their happy-go-lucky brunette. Suddenly, a mysterious and dark presence could be felt inside 1-B. Hotaru and Ruka's eyes widen, instantly recognizing who he was.

Ruka asked with a cold tone, "What do you want, sen-sei?"

"Nande mo nai, just a mission. Electric Firefly and Nukumi Neko [1]." Ruka and Hotaru nodded, understanding what the teacher of the Dangerous Ability class meant. "Tonight, 10pm. Northern Forest."

With that last sentence of his, he vanished. The classroom that was still a few moments ago, resumed back into its usual chaotic state. Things were really different if the teacher was there.


Persona's POV

After notifying the two new members of the Dangerous Ability class about tonight's mission, I head to the ESP's [2] office. Earlier this morning, he had called me for a certain discussion. Apparently, my two itokos [3] were cordially invited for the discussion.

By the time I had arrived in the office, the ESP was sitting on his chair while my two cousins were sitting on the couch beside his table. I bowed my head with due respect. "Kuonji-sama." [4]

He smirked. My two cousins rose from their seats and greeted with a kind smile. "Persona-nii/Perso-niichan."


Normal POV

"From this day onwards, the Dangerous ability class of the Alice Academy would be having an alliance with Easter," Kuonji announced. The two figures nodded. One had long black hair with scarlet red orbs while the other had snowy white spiky hair.

"Shiro, Shizuka. You agreed?" Persona asked, acknowledging Shiro and Shizuka as his cousins.

"Hai, Persona-nii. Shizuka was the one that agreed though," Shiro said with a tiny pout.

"So, Easter would be sharing our missions and we will be preventing the pesky Guardian council of Seiyo Elementary from getting into our way. Simply put," Kuonji said, resting his chin on his hands. "We will merge goals."

"To have the embryo."


"I understand," Shizuka and Shiro said in unison.

"According to the plan Easter and I had devised, Shiro and Shizuka. Your mission is to capture the embryo and prevent the pesky Guardian council of Seiyo Elementary from getting into our way. No matter what it takes," Kuonji continued, shifting his gaze to the teacher in charge of the Dangerous Ability group.

Persona nodded. "You will be allowed to use your alices and… There's no time limit for this mission," he said.


Shizuka's POV

"You will be allowed to use your alices…" I heard Perso-niichan say. In my head, I snickered uncontrollably. Able to use my copy alice was considered a miracle.

—Flashback—

It was a few weeks after that freak incident. I remembered crying for a week on Shiro-nii and okaa-sama's death. I wonder where otto-sama was now. As Tsukiko-obaasan [5] called me, I walked towards the dining area of her house. I was temporarily put into her custody before the family decided on whose family I should go to. Otto-sama's disappearance was quite a fuss. Once I arrived, most of the family members were knelt in due respect on the floor. But, there was someone there I did not recognize, a mysterious-looking guy in his twenties sitting next to ojii-san. [6] I was to be seated next to Hayate-oosan. [7] Putting on a daddy's little girl façade, I knelt next to him while the elders discussed on whose custody I should go to. Apparently, nobody wanted to take custody of me. Was I really that much of a fuss?

Feeling bored, I stared at the box of candy that was lying on the table. How I wished it were on my lap! In an instant, it landed on my lap miraculously. The weird guy seemed to have noticed my action.

"I will take her into my custody."

The elders' gaze turned to look at my new adoptive father. Ojii-san nodded in approval while they continued to discuss about when I was to move in with my new father. Once it had been decided, it was today. Once I was informed of it, I was sent back into Riku-nee's room, which I have been staying inside for the past few weeks. I packed up the remaining clothes I had left and got ready to leave. I carried my backpack and strolled to the entrance of Tsukiko-obaasan's house. Waiting impatiently for my new father, I dipped my hand into the left pocket of my bag. I grabbed what was inside that pocket and tried to slide it into my thumb. Unfortunately, it failed to fit. My fingers were too thin.

A white gold ring with pink sapphires adorned. Why was such a beauty given the title of 'The Path of Hell'?

After a few minutes of waiting, my new father appeared. He turned to look at me as he walked out of the house and gave me a silent gesture to follow him. Not knowing what to do, I followed him like a little puppy. Once we were outside, he spoke.

"I'm Serio, also known as Persona. I was your cousin, but now, I'm your adoptive father," Persona said with a tiny smile. Seeing that my father was pretty friendly, I smiled back.

"I'm Shizuka. Otto-sama, yoroshiku!" Persona's smiled faded and he broke into a silent fit of laughter.

"Please don't call me otto-sama. I'm not that old."

I grinned with a glint of evilness. "How about Perso-niichan?" He stared at me as if I had provoked him before he spoke once again.

"Sure."


Years have past since that incident happened and Perso-niichan adopted me. He told me I had a gift called an alice. The alice I possessed was a very powerful one called the Copy alice. I could copy any alice I wished with just a touch from that person who contained the alice. My body was able to use them properly without having to absorb them like the stealing alice. My body was equally powerful as my alice.

It had been a year ago when I was 8 that I had my first mission. Perso-niichan was my backup and I completed the mission with flying colors.

The mission I had the other night after my fifth was the most painstaking one.

I lost 'The Path of Hell'.

—End Flashback—

I snapped out of my reminiscence, feeling ashamed. I had lost my family heirloom, which was of grave importance.


Shiro's POV

'You will be allowed to use your alices…" I was nearly falling asleep until Persona-nii said Shizuka and I could use our alices. I knew Shizuka's alice was powerful what about water and time alice?

—Flashback—

"Beep~" I cou;d hear the faint sounds of the ambulance before I completely blacked out.

Was I going to die?

Black. That was the only thing I could see now. My skin was hurting seriously, like something was ripping me apart, bits my bits. Then, I felt my body go numb. Proably anesthetic.


When my eyelids flew open, everything was a patch of white. Was I on my way to heaven?

"Doctor! The patient has awoken!" I heard a feminine voice shout. 'Doctor, huh? Was I rescued?' I obsereved my surroundings and it resembled a hospital room to be precise. I tried to get up and images of Shizuka, otto-sama and okaa-sama played in my mind like a broken video. Where were they?

Then, the doctor entered the room. I spoke. "Oisha-san [8], do you know where my family is?"

He looked up from his clipboard. "From our information, your mother is dead, while your sister and father are missing."

My peaceful façade turned into a worried one. "Shizuka?!" I could continue my protests, but my wounds were hurting, too much.

The next day, a mysterious man visited me in his twenties. He introduced himself as Serio, also known as Persona, my cousin. All of a sudden, I was thinking of a water dragon, how cool it was, and one suddenly appeared from the base of my hands.

"I see, you have an alice," Persona said. "Why don't you come to Alice Academy?"

Unknowingly, I nodded. Once I recovered, I went to Alice Academy and studied there.


It had been a few years since I entered the academy. Discovering I had the water and time alice, I was put in the Dangerous Ability.

—End Flashback—

Snapping out of my reminiscence, I turned to look at Shizuka. How long have we been apart from? I thought. How many years…


Normal POV

Persona gave his two cousins a worried glance. They were in a trance; it could not be that Kuonji's alice that had taken a toll on them? Shaking his head awake, he saw Shizuka nad Shiro getting out of their trance. He heaved a silent sigh of relief. Thanking God for not allowing Kuonji's alice to take effect on his two cousins, Persona turned to see a grinning Kuonji.

"Shizuka and Shiro. You may proceed to your mission now," Kuonji announced. Shiro and Shizuka nodded, bowing in respect. On their way out of the room, Shiro accidentally hit his head on one of the pillars.

"Ow."


Shizuka and Shiro's POV

After exiting the office of the ESP, Shizuka and Shiro got out of the academy. Once they got out, they start discussing on what they should do. Suddenly, Shiro got a strange and retarded idea.

"Shizuka, I got an idea! We should get all sorts of eggs!" Shiro suggested with a humungous grin.

"Shiro-nii, must we really do that? Getting all sorts of eggs?" Shizuka asked, staring at her older brother. She would have listened to Shiro, but it was common sense that it was a stupid idea.

"OF COURSE! In this manner, we can 'draw' out the embryo!" Shiro replied with a victory sign.

"Fine…"

A few hours later, the two siblings finally gave up on their search.

"Why can we only get a duck and chicken's egg?" Shiro complained while Shizuka sighed in frustration. At that point of time, an imaginary light bulb appeared above Shiro's head. "We could draw an egg out of Shizuka…"

An anger mark appeared on Shizuka's cheek and pulled out a hammer from behind her back. She blushed furiously and yelled, "I DON'T HAVE THAT YET!"

Shiro got a blow to the head by the hammer and apparently, it hit him real hard.

"What just happened?"

Shiro: Okay...

Shizuka: *blushes*

Me: Hehehe. Oh right, before I forget, the last part was written by Neptune-WiNgZ and edited by me. She was the one that came out with that part and called it hare-brainess. I think. I can't spell it.

Shiro: Before the authoress would like to end the story, she would like to thank:

Shizuka: For their reviews. So little.

Me: Be glad. You're getting popularity. Anyways, please R&R! Bye-bi!~

Shizuka and Shiro: Bye~
