Hello.

I'm really sorry for the re-uploading of the story. I had some trouble with chapter 12. Ideas you know. To tell you truth, I'm currently trying to get some more ideas to finish this story to chapter 20-25, at least. And I've already have a new story on Gakuen Alice in mind. I really hope ya'll enjoy this story.

Oh, I already made the ending plot for this story ;)

Enjoy.

Ai slowly opened her eyes as her mind silently told her that it was already morning. She felt somebody's body heat beside her and turned to look at the person. It was not to her surprise that it was Persona. A small smile crept on her pretty face.

The sun shone brightly against their faces. Ai gazed upon his pale skin and lips, his jet black hair and the way he breathed. She gently, softly, slowly touched his hair and smiled while blushing. The thought of how she first met him, how he offered his hand, walking together in the crowd, how she came to slowly have for the well known cold-blooded teacher of the academy; she gasped and pulled away her hand that was touching his hair. She blushed furiously.

She slowly got out from her bed and stared out the window. She looked at the falling leaves of autumn and gave out a small chuckle. While smiling, she gave out a short sigh, "A forbidden student-teacher love, huh?" she whispered to herself.

Persona's P.O.V

I woke quite awhile before she did but I kept my eyes close when I felt her movement. I felt her finger touching a bit of my hair and for a good reason I knew she was blushing. I heard her got out of bed and I dared myself to take a peek at the girl.

I got up slowly and sat up. I rubbed my forehead and looked at her. The sun shine made her figure clearer and prettier. Tch, I never knew I could praise a girl like this. I smirked to myself. I figured that she didn't seem to notice that I was already up. As I got nearer to her, I heard her whispered.

"A forbidden student-teacher love, huh?"

I stopped at my track. I felt a little annoyed hearing something I already knew from the very beginning. She reminded me of gakuen years. Still, those time were idiotic for me, I just can't let Ai walk away. Before I knew it, my arms snaked around her waist. I silently smirked hearing her gasp.

End of Persona's P.O.V

She suddenly gasped when she realized someone was behind her. Before she could turn her body around to say the person's name, she felt a pair of arms snaked around her waist. She blushed even more, "P-Persona.." her voice softly said his name.

Hearing her called his name, he hugged her waist tighter, "You were making too much noise." She chuckled and leaned her head on him. They both savored the moment. Persona felt relieved and calm having her in his arms. He felt comfortable and the one feeling he could not remember having, was finally felt.

Ai smiled as she felt at ease being with him. She slowly turned around to face Persona. She looked deep into his crimson eyes and her right hand gently touch his face, "I always like the color crimson." Persona was startled then smirked, "Ah..." the thing that Ai would never thought happen, happened. He kissed her; near her lips. Her eyes were wide shock, "Eh?"

Persona smirked. He let go of her and opened the door. Without turning his head to face her, "You have about another 10 minutes before class starts." He closed her bedroom door and took an apple from her kitchen and exited her room. While taking a bite on the apple, he smiled. 'Always like the color crimson, huh?' With that thought, he smirked and disappeared.

RIING!!

A brunette panted in front of the classroom door and looked up with a cheerful grin, "Ohayou gozaimasu, minna!!" Yuu came to her and smiled, "Ohayou, Mikan-chan!" She nodded and grinned. She greeted Hotaru and sat behind her. Anna and Nonoko approached Mikan and started chatting.

Quite a few things had changed since elementary. Ever since Mikan worked hard to get the triple star status, the brunette had also changed into a mature teenager. Her attempt to hug Hotaru every morning slowly disappear. She built up a beautiful figure that attracted many seniors, badge mate and even juniors to admire her and developed crushes over her. She was still dense but not dense enough to not notice secrets. Of course, her feelings toward Natsume grew.

Everyone in the academy knew how much Natsume will protect the brunette. They were like a couple but yet, not a couple. He would usually hug her, held her hand, kiss her cheeks or have her all to himself like she was his wife, but yet, the bickering between the two never ended.

"Ohayou, Ruka-pyon, Natsume!" She greeted them at her seat.

"Hn.." (A/N: guess who?)

"Ohayou, Sakura-san, Hotaru." Hotaru nodded without looking at him. Ruka smiled.

Mikan twitched. "Natsume!"

The Kuro Neko looked at her and raised an eyebrow. Mikan twitched even more, "Don't you give me that oh-so-cool look. Can't you at least give me a proper good morning wish once in awhile?!"

Natsume smirked and went to his seat and opened his manga. "Grr..." Mikan was fuming and plopped at her seat while murmured something under her breath, "Baka Natsume!"

Ruka just smiled. All of them had gotten used to their fight every morning, every day, and almost every minute of every hour.

Misaki-sensei entered the class and greeted them. The lesson began for the day.

The class of 3A (Tsubasa's class)

Jinno-sensei was teaching them mathematics. Most of them in class were not exactly paying attention as always. Some of them were reading manga under the desk, drawing, scribbling or just day dreaming. Somehow, at the last row, Jinno-sensei's teaching does seem to affect them today. Tsubasa and Misaki looked at Ai's seat; empty.

Misaki whispered, "Ne, Tsubasa. Do you something happened? You know Ai-chan never missed class." Tsubasa puts his right arm on the desk and rested his face on it.

"Ah, you're right. For something to happen to Ai-chan is impossible, don't you think?" Misaki slightly nodded while her eyes were still on her scribbling. Tsubasa sighed.

"Somehow, this just, bothers me.."

"I agree. Wanna go check her at recess?" Misaki suggested.

Tsubasa nodded and sighed again looking at the math equations on the board, "Ne, Misaki-chan, what exactly is Jin Jin scribbling there?"

"It's algebraic expression. Tch, pay attention!" Misaki scolded him.

"Che, mattaku..." Tsubasa grunted.

Jinno-sensei turned to Tsubasa and called him with his strict voice, "Andou Tsubasa!"

"Hai!" Tsubasa quickly sat up looking tense.

"Come in front and answer this question. NOW!"

Tsubasa felt like a blazing wind just blew, "Misaki-chan, help.."

He looked at Misaki who pretended not to look at him. "Che..."

On a branch of a tree, a girl with brown hair tied up into a ponytail sat on the branch with her eyes closed calmly. The autumn wind blew gently against her skin and running through her hair. She opened her cerulean eyes and saw the glittering lake under the sun.

"Okaa-sama, what will happen from now on? That man is here.." she kept her gaze on the lake. Ai jumped down from the tree branch and walked forward to the lake. She decided to cut class for today. She could not help the uneasy feeling since last night.

Flashback

The limousine stopped at a five star hotel. Ai and Natsume got down and met three other students from the dangerous ability type was already waiting for them. To Ai's and Natsume's surprise, Persona was there as well. He wasn't in his usual outfit but in a normal autumn clothing. He doesn't have his mask on, of course. Revealing a pair of dark crimson cold eyes. Ai stand aside. She pulled Natsume's arm to stand beside her. Persona looked at Ai who showed no emotions and Persona knew something happened.

"Ah, you must be one of the academy's teacher. Dangerous ability type?" The man spoke up. Persona only nodded.

"Then you must teach your student to be more, polite when greeting an important guest." The man glanced at Ai.

Persona motionlessly looked at the man, "Whatever are you talking about, sir?" The man smirked.

"That girl, be careful with her, she's a tiger." Ai was raging mad. She spoke up, "Watch your words, my respected guest. Or you won't live through tonight." Persona cocked an eyebrow hearing her words. He had never seen her being cold hearted and direct.

"Oh, is that a threat, my beautiful little tiger? You've grown your reputation as Shiroi Tori's only child. I'm very sure that your mother and father are proud of their child, my dear. Plus, I'm also sure that these people don't know anything about you, right my dear child?" He spoke as if he knows everything.

He crossed the line. Ai quickly made a paper turned into blade and tackled him down to the cold marble hotel floor with the blade on his throat. She moved too fast for anyone to caught her movement. Even Persona didn't notice.

"You insolent old man! I swear on my mother's name; if you do anything drastic, I'm going to kill you bastard!" Ai let those words flowed out of her mouth. Her voice was full of anger, hatred, and revenge.

Natsume was about to move when he heard the man laughed evilly. "Hah! You think you can kill me? Or would you rather see your dear precious person suffer because of my death?" Ai was taken back.

"What are you talking about?"

"What was that person's name? The one you protected at the hospital six years ago?" Ai gasped.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Silly child, if I die, my people would have the like to kill her. Her mother, owed us big time."

"Urusai! I told you before. I won't let your filthy hands touch her. That was my promise." She said flatly. Persona watched her and trying to take in what is happening, so did Natsume.

The man smirked, "You really are like your mother. Determined and caring and also, beautiful. I really thought, it was Shiroi Tori when we met at the airport. I guessed, you have more temper than your mother. Very well, we'll see. How far will you go to save those people who are important to you, my dear child. Before that, think. What exactly can you do to save them while you're caged in that academy?" He smiled slyly. Ai was silent.

She slowly got up from the man and kept her eyes on the man. Then, he smirked.

"Good night, dear child. Thank you everyone for your escort tonight. I shall see you at the academy tomorrow." The man got onto the elevator with his bodyguards.

End of Flashback

"Tch, insolent old man!" She cursed that man she hated the most under her breath. Words were just not enough to describe how much she hated the man. She looked up the sky, "Tomorrow is going to be a perfect crescent moon." She smirked.

"I wonder if you can find me, Serio." She looked at her wrist watch and stretched her arms in the sky. A sly smile crept onto her face and she walked out of the lake in the Eastern Forest with her bangs covering her eyes.

A black limousine reached outside of the academy gates. One of the bodyguards opened the door for the person inside. A man with brown suite and brown leather shoes came out of the car with a smirk on his handsome features. 'Gakuen Alice...'

While with Ai, she gasped and she turned her head facing her back. "He's here." Ai felt agitated. 'I'll kill him. If he tries to something stupid to Mikan-chan.'

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Haite kudasai.." A male voice answered the door. Ai opened door and greeted the man, "Aoshi-san." The headmaster looked at the girl, "Hai, Yuuki-san? Anything?" Ai looked at Aoshi with emotionless eyes.

"I need you permission." Aoshi puzzled looking at the girl's request.

"Hn??"
