Author's Note: Thanks for reviewing. :) & Watch the anime Kamichama Karin! It's kawaii and it's like Gakuen Alice a little.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice. The Great Higuchi Tachibana does..
Then it dawned him, she still didn't know that it was him!
But... He thought, Maybe it would be better off this way...
He grunted, remembering that she bent over right in front of him, letting him see a complete view of not only her underwear but also her ass.
"So it's a lacy, black underwear now, huh?" He smiled a little and sat at the sakura tree for a little while longer, enjoying the moment while he could.

Chapter 11: Youichi
-
It was 7:20 in the morning and Mikan walked into the classroom groggily. She still felt tired and all from last night; the partying, the kissing, everything.
"Ohayo, Ayu... Akira..." She said softly as she quickly put her head on her desk.
"What's wrong with her?" Ayu looked at Mikan strangely. She stared at the sleeping brunette. "She seems just like a little girl..."
"Yeah," Akira agreed and let out a small smile as well. It makes her look so innocent when she sleeps. She's so cute... He unconsciously stroked the sleeping girl's hair, lost in his thoughts and being mesmerized, as if under a spell. He chuckled to himself. I can't believe that a person like you is actually real... I think you're just perfect...
"Akira-kun," said Ayu, trying to imitate how Mikan calls him.
"Huh?" The silver-haired guy said, snapping back to reality. A small pink blush appeared on his face, realizing what he's done.
"Shut up, Yuuri!" He said to Ayu, more red now than before.
He then grinned evilly, "So, what exactly do you think of Mikan's senpai? What's his name? Tsuburu? Something like that..."
"I-I," Ayu stammered, turning red as a tomato.
Akira started smirking. No, he doesn't laugh. He only does on very, very rare occassions. Like a once in a blue moon event. He thinks laughing attracts too much attention to him and it feels uncomfortable and makes him lose his 'image.'
"Hmph!" She said as she bonked poor Akira's head. "And his name's TSU-BA-SA, Tsubasa, pendejo." (A/N: Pendejo is a Spanish word meaning "moron" or something similar. Ayu knows Spanish because she's half-Spanish and half-Japanese. A rare mix.)
"Itai!"
"Serves you right."
"You started it, you idiot."
"So what? It's true, isn't it?"
"SO?! What I said is true too!"
They argued quietly so that their little argument wouldn't really wreck their reputation. They were glaring at each other intensely. (A/N: Or were they gazing in each others' eyes? Hm... I wonder...)
"Mmmf..." A small muffling sound was heard.
"Huh?" They two arguing figures turned to see who it was.
"Aaah..." Another small muffling sound came from the just awoken Mikan.
"Mikan-chan! Akira was being mean to me," a chibi Ayu whined and cried waterfalls to Mikan.
"Akira." Mikan sent a death glare to Akira while Ayu was smirking without Mikan seeing.
Just then, there was a PA announcement. "Sakura Mikan, please come to the main office. Sakura Mikan, please come to the main office. Thank you."
"Eh. Wonder what that's all about." The brunette said annoyingly, getting up from her seat.
She walked through the doors and out of the classroom, oblivious to Natsume and Ruka, who just came in. Natsume secretly took a quick glance at her.
I guess she doesn't know after all, the black cat thought, feeling both joy and sadness. He was happy because if Mikan didn't know that it was him then she wouldn't get mad at him even more for kissing her like that. But he was also sad because he wanted Mikan to know it was him, to let her know how he feels... How sorry he feels, hoping that she would forgive him.
--
Mikan knocked on the wooden doors of the teacher's lounge.
"Come in."
The door opened slowly and quietly, revealing an anxious Mikan. "You called for me?" She asked politely and with great respect.
"Oh, Sakura-san. Please be seated here a moment. I'll go tell Jinno-sensei that you're here." A female assistant told her.
The brunette just nodded with approval in return.
Moments later, the strict teacher with brown hair and his stern eyes, along with a frog on his shoulder came. "Sakura-sama." He said and bowed halfway.
She raised an eyebrow at him.
"This might be sudden for you," he started, "But... You're one of the future owners of the academy. You're father was-"
"I know." she said calmly, legs crossed.
"Then you also know that..."
She nodded. "So what do you want me to do for you?" She asked, sipped her tea and put it back down on the small table in front of her. Where'd she get the tea from? Don't ask.
"Well... You see, some other organization has been taking students from us, one after another." The teacher said with a tone of seriousness in his voice. "The ones they've been trying to kidnap are the ones that have either special or rare alices, or may be of any value to them."
She listened patiently and took another sip from her cup of tea.
"So far they've only managed to get two of the elementary students and... Anyway, with your second Alice, we think that you're best fit to do this..." He then added, "That is, if you want to."
"Sure, I'll do it." she Said plainly.
"Y-Y-You will?" Jinno-sensei stammered, obviously surprised. "Th-thank you, Sakura-sama. It'll be tomorrow night." He said and bowed. "One more thing," he stopped in his tracks. "The two kids that they have captivated are Hijiri Youichi and Souta Kanae. Both are in Elementary branch B, Classroom 2. The person escorting you to the located area will be waiting for you at the front gates at around eleven tomorrow night. Good luck." He went back to doing his work.
She exited the office. "Youichi, huh?" she said and chuckled to herself. "This might turn out to be one hell of a rescue mission." She said to herself as she made her way back to her classroom.
--
"Ne, Mikan-chan, where were you?" Ayu asked, taking another bite into her lobster sandwich. Akira gave it to her since she was pestering him earlier for it. She was only a two-star, and Akira was a three-star. So naturally, Akira got better food.
The brunette smirked. "I've got a little mission." She leaned on her chair and had support from the table so that she wouldn't lose balance and tip over. "Seems that I have to save some elementary kids from some organization." (A/N: No, the organization in my story isn't the Anti Alice Organization. In fact, just ignore the fact that the AAO even exists because I don't think I'm gonna mention them in my story.)
"Oh... seems boring." Ayu said, "But then again, it surely has to be even more fun that this academy."
"Well, there is this boy..." Mikan said entertainingly, amusement in her eyes.
Hearing this, Akira's eyebrows twitched. Boy? What boy? Who exactly is this boy? Random questions started to flood his mind, thinking bad of the boy that Mikan was talking about, even though he hasn't even seen him yet, nor heard much about him.
"A boy?" Ayu payed even more attention to Mikan. "What's he like? Is he hot?" Ayu asked and giggled.
"Ah, no no. You've got it all wrong," Mikan sighed. "He's only seven years-old. I said he was in the elementary branch, remember?"
Akira calmed down. Ayu let out an "oh," disappointed.
My God, Ayu, if I didn't know you any better I'd think you were a huge flirt. Mikan sweat dropped at the thought. Eh, I guess you're just opening you're heart to any possibilities... Unlike me... I shouldn't have just waited on one person...
"Oi, Sakura-chan. Eat." Akira popped a piece of sushi into her mouth.
"Mmmf mmm nnf fff!!" Mikan swallowed the sushi in her mouth. "It's MIKAN-chan, not SAKURA-chan!" She sighed. "Well, at least you're getting the hang of it." She smiled and laughed softly to herself.
"Baka." He said and stuffed another piece into her mouth. "Don't talk with your mouth full."
She swallowed the food that he stuffed into her mouth again. "Why'd you do that for?" She asked sternly, sending him a glare.
"Because you had your big mouth open. It was disgusting." He said and ate a piece of sushi for himself. "Besides, if you don't feed yourself lunch, someone has to feed you." He shrugged.
"Well you could have fed me something that was sweet..." She muttered under her breath.
Unfortunately for her, Akira heard this. He popped a cookie into her mouth.
"Mmmf shmmmg kjnnmmf," the brunette tried saying.
"What? Too big?" Akira looked at the brunette and smiled inwardly.
The cookie really was big. Half of it was still outside of Mikan's mouth.
Mikan stared blankly, and stopped making those 'mmf shnmmm mjdhjjjfff' sounds.
Akira bit off the part of the cookie while it was still sticking out of her mouth. "Tasty." He said.
Mikan blinked twice. Mikan felt her face heat up as it began to blush various shades of red.
Did his lips just brush against mine? The brunette thought.
"Better?" Akira asked, showing one of his rare smiles to her.
She nodded.
He was wiping some cookie crumbs off her mouth which made her turn even more red.
"Thanks..." She said quietly and got her own share of food before he could stuff anymore into her mouth.
"Ohohohoho," Ayu, who was watching the whole thing laughed hilariously. "You two looked so cute and sweet!!"
"Urussei." Akira sent a glare to her. Mikan on the other hand, was preoccupied with blushing.
Akira flicked a piece of otoro ("giant fish" or "tuna belly"; an expensive seafood) at Ayu.
"Why you..." a nerve popped out of her head. "I will forgive you this time because of your lovey-dovey-ness but next time you'll be a dead man, Akira."
"Whatever."
At another table occupied by only a few boys...
"Natsume, you okay?" A boy with caring blue eyes asked worriedly. Here you go again... Ruka sighed. You get jealous over anything that involves Mikan, don't you? He thought, amused with how Natsume shows his affections. How the Black Cat showed his own affections were quite peculiar.
The temperature started to rise a little; Ruka noticed Natsume's jealousy and tried to make him not make the temperature so hot again.
There was no reply from Natsume. His ruby eyes were directed in one direction, and that was where Mikan was, with "that Akira person," according to Natsume. How dare he... Trying to steal a kiss from my Mikan... Too bad! Natsume thought. I already stole her first AND second kiss!
(A/N: Natsume is overacting here, isn't he? Calm down dude...)
I guess that that's why I let go of Mikan... Natsume cares much more about her than I do... Ruka smiled to himself. "Natsume, don't worry, calm down."
"I'm not worrying. And I am calm. What the hell are you talking about Ruka?" Natsume shot back at him.
"That's exactly what I'm taking about." Ruka muttered quietly.
"What?"
"N-nothing." Ruka sweat dropped at his bestfriend's behavior.
--
"You guys wanna help me train after lunch??" Mikan asked after they finished eating.
"Sure."
"Why not."
"Great. You guys get to help me train... And we get to be excused from class too!" Mikan smiled.
"I'm definitely going then." Ayu chirped.
"Eh. Okay."
--
Girls were glaring at Mikan, jealous of what happened.
"How disgusting." One said.
"Who does she think she is?" Said another person.
"Trying to steal a kiss from Akira-sama..."
"Well, actually, it was the opposite and she is kinda pretty..." Another one of the girls said.
The others turned at her with eyes like daggers, as if they were ready to kill someone.
"I-I mean, yeah! She sucks!" The girl said nervously.
My, my, how stupid. These girls don't know how to accept facts, do they? I wonder when it'll get through their thick skulls that Mikan is beautiful, and even if Ruka, Natsume, and Akira didn't like her, it's not like they would like those bitches that were obsessed over them too. I mean, come on, who would want to date some crazed fan girl?
It was already around nine in the evening, and Ayu, Mikan, and Akira were still training.
"Throw.. More... Daggers... Ayu...!" Mikan shouted, panting.
Ayu did as she was told. The about two dozen crystal daggers were sent flying Mikan's way, but fell to the ground when they reached a couple of inches from her.
Mikan here was trying to hone her skills in using her Stealing Alice, and this time she used the Barrier Alice that she copied from some guy from before.
Akira threw a slightly large fireball at her, too. Her barrier weakened.
"You can do better than that, guys," Mikan said.
"But Mikan-chan... Are you sure it's alright?" Ayu asked worriedly.
She nodded. "Keep going."
Ayu sighed. She threw more crystals at Mikan which were harder and stronger this time, and Akira threw a bigger fireball this time.
"Itai.." Mikan grabbed her arm. One of the crystals had hit her.
Ayu and Akira rushed to her.
"Gomen..." Ayu was about to burst into tears.
"I told you not to worry, didn't I?" Mikan reassured Ayu and used her alice again, this time using a Healing Alice. "See? It's gone." The brunette smiled sweetly. "Besides, you've gotten way better at using your alice, too. Let's call it a day, shall we?"
They headed towards their dorms.
--
It was already the following day, around a quarter to eleven.
Mikan was waiting at the academy's front gates. ""Where the hell is that person..." She tapped her foot impatiently.
She was wearing faded dark blue jeans and a black sweater on. She was also wearing black and white Converse as her shoes. (A/N: I love Converse!)
A black car drove in stopped right in front of her, and she got in. Mikan already fell asleep, even though their destination point was only about an hour away. She woke up, hitting her head against the window, the car coming to a stop.
"Hn. Thanks." She said to the guy and got out.
Mikan casually walked up to the doors that held the two Alice Academy students captive. She kicked the door and barged in the place, attracting attention to everyone who was there.
"Where are the students that you kidnapped, you morons?" She snickered.
"After her!" One of them shouted.
It didn't take a lot, but Mikan was soon captured. "I guess I'm captured now." She said, feigning disappointedness.
"That's right girlie. What is becoming of that academy nowadays? Sending weak people. Tch." The man grunted and tossed the tied up Mikan with where Youichi and Kanae were and slammed the iron door shut.
"Stupid ass." Mikan said proudly.
"Eh?" She stared at the two kids in front of her. "Hi! My name's Mikan and I'm here to save you." She said with a small smile.
"Baka." Youichi, the boy with grey eyes and hair said emotionlessly. "How do you expect to save us when you're tied up yourself?" He was actually thinking something else thought. Mikan...? Old hag? Can't possibly be... But then this person's stupidity matches hers...
"Don't mind him." Kanae, the girl next to him said shyly.
"Oh. It's alright. I'm used to this bratty kid's attitude," she said calmly and used the Fire Alice she copied from Natsume to break the rope that tied her hands. "What do you think, Yo-chan?" She smirked.
"Old hag. Don't call me that. I don't even know you," he replied coldly.
"Fine." Mikan said and snapped her fingers, burning the rope that tied Kanae's and Youichi's hands as well. "I'm not stupid, you know. I let myself be captured. I wasn't gonna look for you in this place and waste so much time," she told Youichi. "And I'll call you Hijiri-san if that's what you want. Let's go."
The metal door went flying off, revealing Mikan with the two kinds behind her.
What surprised Mikan, Youichi, and Kanae though, was what they saw. Natsume was trying his best to fight the henchmen that surrounded him.
Mikan got mad at this. What the hell?! I thought I told them not to get involved and they send Hyuuga? Do they think I'm weak or something? She thought and rushed to help Natsume.
"What are you doing here," she demanded icily, using Ayu's alice to send crystals to pin a couple of guys to the wall. Her back was pressed against Natsume's. They were surrounded. "Academy sent me. Saw you captured." He replied.
Natsume unleashed a big whip of fire, burning those that dared come near him. Mikan used Akira's Alice, and did the same as Natsume. Mikan's a multi-alice user? How many Alices does she have exactly? He thought, seeing that she had her Nullification Alice, the Crystal Alice like Ayu, and the Blue Fire Alice like Akira. What other alice could she possibly have?
As if answering Natsume's unsaid question, Mikan used Natsume's Fire Alice as well.
No way... Natsume thought, but kept a composed look on the outside.
One person left; that one guy that was left went fleeing for his life. Mikan easily froze him in place though.
"A.. job.. well.. done." She said in between pants. She wasn't really used to using her second Alice a lot.
Youichi ran to Natsume and hugged him. "Onii-san, what took you so long?" Youichi asked.
"Eh. Sorry..."Natsume muttered.
"You okay, Kanae?" Mikan asked the little girl.
She nodded.
Youichi then let go of Natsume and stared at Mikan.
"What?" She said, but Youichi ignored her.
He then stared back at Natsume, and vice versa.
"Onee-chan?" Youichi said and hugged her too.
"Onee-chan?!" she said.
Youichi shook his head. "Never mind..." He said in a cute voice. "You're my mommy from now on, and onii-san is my daddy!" Youichi said happily.
"M-mommy?!" Mikan said in disbelief, while Natsume said "D-daddy?"
Not a bad idea, Yo-chan. Natsume smirked. Not a bad idea at all...
Author's Note 2 (February 2009) : Long chapter.
