Next chapter is here.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice or Alice Academy. However, Noah, Neil and Nami –the kittens are my property and result of my freakily over active crazy imagination. If you want to use them, you have to ask for my permission as under the rules of the www (dot)fanfiction(dot)net. Thank you.

My amazing reviewers: your reviews make my day. Thank you all. I'm too lazy to reply to you from my mobile.

Note: multiple pregnancies in teenagers are more common and have a higher rate of occurring. So all my active readers, be careful, you may have two (or three), if you are not protected. If there are twins in your family, the rate can be higher. It is regretful none of my relatives have twins.

I hope this chapter meets the expectations of people and I have tried to make it longer than my usual chapters as the last chapter was short.

Wish me luck. It feels like I'm writing an exam, however I think exams are easier to write. The syllabus for it been defined and stuff.

Chapter 10

I am happy the way I am,

If it bugs you I don't give a damn.

Previously on Once in a dream and I love you so

The school day had ended smoothly after that. Koko was in his room sleeping soundly. Mikan knew that because until she reached him, he would not wake up.

Mikan slowly made her way to Koko's dorm. As she entered the room she deactivated teh alice and waited for the boy to come around. A few minutes later, Koko woke up to Mikan sitting besides him on a chair drawn from his study.

"You...she called you Mom," he said as soon as he was able to make a coherent sentence.

"Yes she did- because I am," Mikan said in a soft tone and slowly began the story.

Mikan lay on her bed fighting sleep. She had told the boy the same story she had told Yuka, Aoi, and Aoi's dad: She had been in a relationship with Natsume, and left the academy when she received the letter. The rest was history. Natsume didn't know now- but he had to be told soon.

Anyways the Kittens enjoyed their time with uncle Koko.

Wednesday

Mikan lay on the bed along with Na chan who had taken a leave from the classes for the day because of health reasons. She had severe pain attack in the night which was followed by a difficulty in breathing. Why? It had happened because she had used her alice in the class in the afternoon. That's the reason she was not allowed to uses any of her alices. Her brothers avoided it too. Any of the alices she used affected her life span.

Just like her father suffered, she would too if she over used her alice. She had not been trained to use any of them but she still managed to make an impressive show out of it.

However, Mikan had trained her brothers a little so that if any emergency arose they could defend themselves. Yet, their fire alice remained raw. Mikan found it too hard to manage this alice. The rest two- nullification and steeling & copying had been taught to them.

Na chan had picked out the use of these alices from her brothers minds.

On their birth, Mikan had discovered that the three could communicate through thought whenever they wanted. It was the reason the three seemed so in sync and hardly communicated with each other verbally.

Yuka had reasoned that mikan had copied the alice of mind reading from her while she was still pregnant and the three had somehow managed to utilize it. Not only the alice of mind reading but any other alices she had copied also had been their alices. Fire seemed to be inherited too.

Thank god Mikan had copied Misaki's alice later on. Three were enough, she could not handle more.

It was due the same reason Koko was due in another half an hour to bring the boys to Mikan's dorm room.

Mikan's cell phone suddenly rang out in a shrill tone drawing out Mikan from her thoughts. She exchanged a short conversation and realized she was due in next fifteen minutes to a teacher's meeting for an impending reunion for the pass outs on the Saturday.

She made it to the bathroom and changed into a pair of jeans. She came out to a distraught looking Na chan sitting up on the bed rubbing her crimson eyes. She had woken up from her nap due to the phone call.

"Momma" she called out "can I have a glass of milk"

"Later. You can have it when your brothers come back." She replied. "I'm going out and will be back in a while. Your brothers will be here in half an hour with Uncle Koko. Don't go out." Mikan said as she closed the door, leaving it unlocked for the twins.

Mikan walked to the staff room and realized she had not used he alice of appearance change on Na chan, today. Her eyes were their natural color. She just hoped no one stopped by.

Five minutes since her momma left, Na chan started fidgeting and nothing seemed to hold her interest. Her doll had been recently changed and another page from her color book filled beautifully. She sighed and her pink lips turned to a pout.

"I wana glass of milk" she said to no one particular. Jumping up from the bed and pulling her pajama shirt down, she ran to the little kitchen in the room. She took the carton of milk from the refrigerator and found that it was not that heavy to hold. She kept it the floor and ran out to drag a chair. She held the carton in one hand and tried to stand up on the chair. It took her two tries before she could do so. Quickly keeping the carton on the shelf, she jumped down to get a pan for heating the milk up.

After another two minutes, she quickly located the pan, thankfully kept in one of the lower cabinets. She jumped a little and successfully managed to keep the pan on the shelf. Making a quick way up the chair, she balanced for a second or two before getting the two things near each other. She took a deep breathe and made a show of patting her back.

"Good wok Nami. Keep it'p" she said to herself, excited to do something that only grown ups do. She opened up the carton and tried to pour the milk into the pan. She was not successful. The entire contents of the carton spilled out on the shelf and started dripping on the floor.

"nooooooo" her voice echoed in the room. "Momma is gonna be angry" she thought, almost panicking. She had to do something, but first she had to clean the spilt milk.

After cleaning up the mess, as quickly as possible, Na chan ran out into the corridor. She stopped for a moment to think and quickly ran inside to grab some money and ran out the door again. As soon as she opened the door, she came face to face with a young, silver haired boy.

Yo chan had wanted to discuss about his training classes with Mikan. He wanted to this in private and knew the best place for this would be her room. He had planned to go after the classes were over. However, when he reached there he came face to face with a little raven haired and crimson eyed girl. She was dressed in a set of pink pajamas and looked extremely adorable. She could see her resemblance to Mikan and the eyes were a direct relation to the fire caster. It took him no time to figure out who she was.

The questions about his training forgotten, yo chan bowed down to get a better look at the girl. "Little girl" he said "where are you going"

Na chan looked at the visitor and bit her lips in a nervous gesture. Would he tell her momma about the milk? Can he help? "I wan milk. It fell down. Momma will be angry." She said in a confident manner, trying not to appear anxious.

"Oh!" the boy exclaimed noticing the money that she had clutched in her small fist. "So you want to go buy more milk." He continued. Na chan nodded vigorously. "But I don't think you should go out dressed like that." He told her.

Na chan quickly took in her appearance and formed a small 'o' with her lips. "Will you take me the town if I change" she said. The boy nodded once. Na chan jumped a little and ran inside to change into her uniform. A minute later she came dressed in her skirt and the buttons of her t shirt were buttoned in a haphazard manner. Half of them were open and rest tucked into the wrong holes. "Will you help me with my socks and shoes, please?" She said to the boy. She held a pair of socks in one hand and shoes in another.

"Sure" the boy said and sat her on the couch in the room. Quickly making his way through the socks and shoes, he helped her to get them on. He remembered mikan doing the same for him few years ago. He re-buttoned the shirt, blushing a bit, but soon realized she was wearing an under shirt and took a breath to calm himself. "What's your name." he asked..

"Nami sakura, but everyone calls me Na chan. What about yours" she asked.

"Youichi Hijiri" he replied and motioned her to get down.

"thak you" she said jumped down from the couch and shouted " I'm ready" with a big smile on her face. Yo chan shook his head then pointed to her hair. Na chan glanced

at her hair and ran inside to grab a brush and a hair tie. She smiled cutely and him the brush and the tie.

Youichi glanced at the brush and blushed. "I don't know how to tie your hair" he confessed embarrassed.

"Just brush it then" Na chan squeaked out. She too seemed self-conscious for a moment. Youichi blushed and softly brushed her hair afraid to hurt her. A minute later, the job seemed to be done and Na chan smiled at her reflection and again thanked him. "Can we go now" she said.

"It's too sunny outside. Will you be fine outside." He asked.

Na chan thought for a second and ran inside to her room she came back wearing a straw hat with a green ribbon and a pair of sun glasses. "Is this otay?" she asked.

Youichi nodded, grabbed her hand and made a quick way to the corridor.

Koko came back with the twins to an empty room. When he failed to find Na chan, Mikan or milk he realized that the two must be out to get some milk. They would be back soon. He propped himself on the couch and dodged a fireball aimed at him when he said that there was no milk. The two devils seemed photocopies of their father. He sighed and slowly fell into a slumber after the two went in the room to take a nap all the while whining that their uncle koko was useless as he could not get any milk.

Na chan was breathing heavily before she could even reach to the bus stop to catch the bus to central town. Youichi noticed this and quickly grabbed her up in his arms and Na chan quickly circled her arms around his neck. They reached the central town quickly. It was obvious that that would attract attention. Thus Youichi tried to hide from their Fan girls. The key word is tried, they were surrounding him soon.

Noticing everyone around her, Na chan started getting worse and soon burst into tears. She was definitely not well now. The temperature around them started to rise when the fan girls tried to touch her and take her from Youichi, apparently to soothe her. Youichi was quick to notice this and he activated his alice scaring away all the girls. Na chan had buried her face in his shoulder and sobs still racked through her body.

"shhh. They are gone." He told her. It took her some time before she could calm down.

Mikan came to a silent room and saw that Koko was softly snoring on her couch. She peeked inside and found that only the twins were there. She quickly became worried "Na chan." she called out. She checked in the bathroom and the kitchen but she seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

"Nami" she called out again her voice was hysterical.

Koko woke up because of the shouts and quickly found Mikan. "What's the matter, mikan" Koko asked.

"Where is Nami" Mikan asked close to tears.

Koko was taken aback. "Wasn't she with you?" he asked. "There was no milk, so I thought you two had gone to get some. She wasn't here"

"No, I had gone for a meeting. What do you mean she was not here? Where can she be" mikan said everything in room started to shake. Mikan's alices were going out of control. Mikan realized this and took few calming breaths. Koko had jumped behind the couch, afraid. A few minutes later Mikan realized that there had been no milk, when she had left for the meeting there had been some.

"There was milk, when I left." She said aloud.

Koko realized what may have happened." She must have gone central town to get it." Koko replied, giving it a thought.

"Oh my god! Shit!" she cursed out loud realizing that her three year old with crimson eyes was out and right now could be anywhere.

"We got to find her." She said. "I'll go, you stay here with the twins" she continued rushing out the door.

Youichi and Na chan had bought the milk cartons. But soon he had realized that Na chan was still not better. Maybe some milk would help. "Would you like some milk now" he asked. She nodded once. She was still in his arms. Youichi quickly made his way to the café and ordered a glass of milk. The milk arrived and Na chan downed it in no time. "Was that good" Youichi asked. Na chan nodded and stifled a yawn. "Let's go back now. You seem tired." he said to her and gathered her in his arms again. Even before he was out of the café, Na chan was asleep.

He was on his way to the bus stop but was stopped by Anna who had seen them in the café. "hi yo- chan" she said to the boy. The boy nodded once, arrogantly. "Isn't that Na Chan" she asked. He nodded again. "She's asleep" he told her. "Okay, if you don't mind I'll take her to the dorms, I'm going that way." She said.

Youichi thought for a second and realized that he was tired by carrying Na chan around. It would take a while before he could reach the dorms. He also realized that was quite late and he had to go the library for some material for his homework before it closed for the day. Yoichi nodded once and handed over Na chan to her. Na chan was so deeply asleep that she did not even notice that someone else was carrying her now.

Anna had been returning from the café, when she had seen Youichi and Na chan. She could not help herself and be affected by Na chan's cute outfit and she wanted to hold and take care of her. She had realized that Yo chan had grown a bit tired from taking Na chan around and instantly offered him to take her back to the dorms.

In her haste she had forgotten not only to ask about Na chan's room number and take the key but also that she had a date with a certain class representative scheduled an hour later. Initially, she had decided that she would run to her room and change quickly into the dress that she and Nonoko had decided earlier that week. She realized, that she too was growing tired carrying her and the milk cartons.

Half to the dorms she bumped into Nonoko.

"Hey, didn't you have a date with Yuu today" Nonoko question her best friend.

"Oh, shit" She cursed and then realized that Na chan was with her and quickly apologized. "I totally forgot about that"she said to her friend. "What should I do, yuu will think I ditched him. Oh god, please help me." She said.

"Relax honey, "her friend said. "Why don't you go find yuu and apologize? Where are you taking Na chan anyways" she question.

"To the dorms" Anna said.

"That's fine; I'll tell some one to take her. Give her to me" Nonoko said. Anna nodded and handed Na chan and the milk cartons to her and ran to find her date. Hopefully, they could still go.

Mikan had been going down the stairs when she bumped into her best friend. Hotaru was quick to notice the crazed look on her best friends face. "What happened" she asked trying to hide her worry in her monotones voice.

"Na chan" mikan said, "She has gone missing. I was going to look for her. Will you help me?"

Hotaru nodded. "Did you look on the other dorm floors? Maybe she went to her room" she said.

"No, she is staying with me for a while. Please just look for her, if you find her take her to my room." Mikan said. Hotaru nodded once again and went down to search for the little girl.

Nonoko looked around for few minutes, hoping someone would come by intending to go to the dorms. She was getting late for her job. She could see a figure approaching the way. She hoped he could take the little girl to the dorms.

Natsume had been very irritable that day. The kittens were attracting a lot of attention and he had fucking not met them. According to some fan girls, they were super cute and extremely adorable. Secondly, mikan had not come to the class today, he had missed her. And he was appointed as a volunteer for the reunion on Saturday. He had to help plan for it.

He could do nothing about his frustration. Koko had conveniently left early after the classes finished instead of hanging out with his friends.

All in all he was extremely annoyed.

He was making his back to the dorms from the sakura tree when he saw a worried looking Nonoko holding a little girl in her arms. The girl seemed to be asleep.

"uhhh, hi, natsume" she said to him as he was passing by. He gave her shrug. "Natsume wait" she called out to him. He stopped in his tracks. "What" he said annoyed.

"Are you going to the dorms?" she asked him. He just glared back. Taking this as an affirmative answer, she handed Na chan to him and said "please take her to her room. I'm getting late for work. Thank you" she shouted running away.

Natsume looked at the retreating figure for a moment, unaware how to react. Suddenly, he realized that he was actually holding a girl and a bag of milk cartons unaware what to do next. The girl seemed deep asleep but from her ragged breathes he could make out she was not well. She had clutched his shirt tightly and seemed to fit perfectly in his arms. Not like mikan, but still perfect, like she was meant to be held by him.

He was shocked that he was hit by so many emotions just by holding this little girl. Not only was he feeling protective about her but he also realized that he was worried about her health. He quickened his pace to dorms. Maybe she could rest in her room until she woke up.

Hotaru was just outside the dorms when she saw natsume holding Na chan. Even though she felt that somehow it was right, she still had to take her to mikan.

"Na chan" she said. "give her to me Natsume, Mikan is going berserk looking for her. "

Natsume looked at Hotaru questioningly for a moment and then tried to pass her the girl, unwillingly. He did not feel it was right. Na chan had clutched natsume's shirt tightly and she whined in her sleep as she went to Hotaru. Natsume felt a little worried about that. However, he let her go and Hotaru carried her away from him.

Mikan witnessed this and she could feel tears brimming her eyes. She blinked a few times to keep them at bay. She quickly took Nami from Hotaru and hugged her to her heart. She was not doing the right thing hiding them from him. She had to act soon.
