Yay, it's Chapter 10 already! Thank you all for the continued support you've given me!

I got a message (and thank you for that Strawberry's Jam) that I have been
forgetting to put disclaimers at the beginning of my chapters. I'm deeply sorry that
I've done that. I have terrible memory for small things, so that's why
it can be a bit difficult to write. I'll try to remember disclaimers from now on. ^^

DISCLAIMER: I do not, nor ever will, own Gakuen Alice. ^^


Summary: Ruka and Natsume were poorly treated hot bodyguards, awaiting their next customer, who happens to be Mikan Sakura. Natsume believes that this is another girl like before. Ruka thinks otherwise.

CHAPTER 10: STOP AVOIDING US.

Mikan didn't know what she was thinking when she started avoiding Natsume and Ruka. She was digging herself an early grave without any protection from them, since she was vulnerable to any attacks like that man from one week ago.

Hell, even if they were around she'd have a grave dug for her, thanks to those stupid fan girls. Now she has to spend as little time as possible with the two boys.

However, she is able to spend time around them at her house, without the fear of being caught by those girls, but it appeared Natsume and Ruka knew something was up.

Or those glares that Natsume has sent her were just for no reason.

It's only been about two days since she was threatened by those girls, and so far, they haven't caught the three together. If they did, they're probably planning 'Ways to kill Mikan Sakura' right now.

Gulp.

Mikan shook off the thought and grabbed her books, stuffing them in her back pack and standing up. Sure, she wanted to get out of class right away from Natsume and Ruka, but she was also hungry for lunch.

Just as she was about to walk out the door...

"Oi, Polka-dots. Stop right there."

Shit.

She almost had it. Turning around, she looked at the two boys, "What?"

Natsume stood up from his desk and glared at her, "Why are you avoiding us?"

Mikan's heart skipped a beat staring into those crimson eyes. He figured out what she's been doing.

Looking down, she kicked the floor a bit with her shoe, "Uhm... I'm not avoid-"

"Yes you are."

Mikan looked up at Natsume again, he was still glaring at her. She glanced at Ruka for support, but he had a disappointed look in his eyes. Shit, they were both against her.

Taking in a breath of air, she spoke, "Alright, I have."

"That didn't answer my question, Polka. Why?"

Mikan looked away, "Because."

"That's not an answer."

She was really not getting out of this. She could trust them, she just didn't want to know what their reactions were going to be with what she was about to tell them.

"Because I was threatened."

She swore she saw Natsume's eyes narrow even if she was looking away from him on the other side of the room.

He marched over to her, with Ruka behind him, and grabbed Mikan's wrist, forcing her to look at him, "By who?"

His voice was scary, evil, venomous. She actually felt pity for the names she was going to say next, "By Koizumi and Sumire."

"Those idiotic fan girls?" Mikan nodded slowly, avoiding his gaze.

Ruka decided to butt in, "That's who threatened you? What did they say?"

"They said that if they catch us together, they won't let me go easily."

"Tch, and YOU listened to them?"

When Natsume spoke again, his voice rose, as if he was going to start screaming. Ruka didn't blame him, his friends been in a bad mood ever since Mikan started to avoid them. Ruka had to admit he was also a bit upset at her actions.

"Y-yeah... What was I suppose to do? The thought of them hurting me reminded me about-"

"You should have just told us, idiot!"

"Why would that matter?"

Natsume glared at her and let go of her wrist, "Do those idiot fan girls understand how much pain they'd be in if they even laid a finger on you?"

Mikan turned to Natsume, he wasn't looking at her, in fact, he was staring at the wall on the other side of the room.

"N-no, but they would-"

"They won't do anything to you, Mikan." Ruka cut her off.

Mikan almost smiled. He was right, why was she getting so worked up over this? Natsume and Ruka cared about her and would protect her from any-

"As I have said before, if anything happens to you, we won't get paid."

Okay, maybe only Ruka cared.

Turning, she glared at Natsume who was now smirking at her, "That's mean, Natsume!"

Grabbing her wrist again, he pulled Mikan out the door, "C'mon Polka, I'm hungry."

Mikan rolled her eyes, looked over at Ruka and mouthed 'help me'. This resulted in Ruka chuckling as he followed the two down the hall.


During lunch, Mikan knew the fan girls have caught her. She could feel their eyes glaring into her back.

Of course they were pissed, she was sitting next to the great Natsume Hyuuga and Ruka Nogi.

The glares seemed to lessen when Hotaru set her tray down and took out her famous 'baka gun', glaring at the girls. Mikan thanked god for having three bodyguards.

However, that didn't stop them. No, Luna and Sumire (plus some other girls) marched up to the table and tapped Mikan's shoulder. Having no right to be afraid, Mikan turned around and stared at the girls, taking a bite of her sandwich, "Yes?"

Luna glared, "Don't 'Yes?' me, Sakura, we warned you to stay away from these two."

Natsume glared, "You had no right to threaten her, idiots. We're her bodyguards, and if we're going to have to kill you girls to get our money, we'll gladly do so."

Hotaru butted in, "I want to join. It would be time for me to test my new baka cannon." She took out an oversize version of her 'baka gun', polishing it with her sleeve, "However, I'll only join if I get 75% of the pay."

Ruka sweat-dropped, "Imai, that's a bit too much."

Luna didn't seem to be affected by any of this. She just kept sending Natsume 'seductive' looks. Mikan almost laughed when she realized he wasn't even paying any attention to them.

"You shouldn't threaten someone who needs protecting just because she has hot bodyguards." Natsume emphasized the word 'hot', obviously he was referring to himself.

Luna flipped her hair, "We're not threatening her from that, we just hate her. I mean, c'mon, how can someone like her get a guy who-"

BAKA BAKA BAKA!

Luna clutched her now throbbing head and glared at Hotaru, who was now blowing the smoke from her baka cannon, "No one is allowed to insult that idiot but me, got it?"

Natsume rose out of his chair, glaring darkly at Luna, Sumire, and the other fan girls, "Me too. Now, get the hell out of here or I'll serve your heads on a platter."

Sumire and the fan girls got the hint and ran off. However, Luna smiled brightly, fluttering her eyelashes seductively, "Oh Natsume! You're so cute when you're mad!"

"Really? Well then I'm about to get real fucking adorable."

Hotaru smirked, Mikan spit out her food laughing, and Ruka was chuckling.

Luna glared at the three and then flipped her hair once more. Without another word and one last wink to Natsume, she walked off.

"I got a feeling she's going after you mostly, Natsume." Ruka stated.

"Tch, not happening."

"'Real freaking adorable!' Ha! I have to remember that one!"

"Polka-dots, shut up, you're being loud."

BAKA BAKA BAKA!

"Thank you, Imai."

"Ow! Hotaruuu, that was mean!"

"Shut up, idiot."

Although the glares Mikan received from the fan girls were scary, she couldn't help but feel happy with Natsume, Ruka, and Hotaru here.

This is how she wanted it to be.
