A/N: This is the second fic I have made here, in Gakuen Alice. I thank the reviewers of Blackmail. I also dedicate this fic to my friends… chubby, slight kulot, taba and curly… hehehe… I want to warn everyone about the ooc-ness here… mostly Hotaru. I would desperately do anything for a review… I'll do your laundry! and no flames please…

'Another boring day… nothing new, except for the warm autumn air… always the same schedule… this day is very dull… the ticking of the clock is so slow… where is Narumi-sensei?'
His blue eyes scanned their classroom. He saw Yuu, Mikan with Sumire, and Hotaru in front. Yuu was panicking as their classmates were using their Alices for entertainment. Mikan was speaking to Hotaru but Sumire was cutting her, it must have something about Natsume. And Hotaru, while she listens to Mikan, she was watching the green leaves fall through the window.
"I bet he doesn't deserve that 'top star student'! He just threatened the teachers!" Mikan shrieked. She said as she held her little nose up in the air and her arms crossed over her chest.
"No! Natsume's the smartest! He's the wisest, the most powerful and the most worthy of all of us! And you don't have the right to describe Natsume like that! You are nothing but a no-star!" Sumire screeched as her cat ears and whiskers appeared. She began scratching Mikan like a cat; she was a cat after all… and a dog…
"He is a no good, bad, evil, fire-casting demon child!" Mikan shouted at Sumire. Their cat fight began, it lasted a few minutes, but a loud bashing of the door stopped them.
"Students, I'm sorry that I was late…" Narumi-sensei panted. "Mikan and Sumire, what are you two doing?" he asked the girls. Mikan and Sumire were dead caught in the act. Mikan was about to bite Sumire's right hand while Sumire was holding Mikan by the collar using her left hand, I mean paw…
"We're so sorry Narumi-sensei… Mikan and Sumire just were having a little misunderstanding… that's all, sir…" Yuu covered for them.
"Only a little misunderstanding, are you sure Yuu?" Narumi questioned him.
"A big confusion, sir…" Hotaru corrected as she walked towards her chair. Once she sat on it, she began to read her textbook.
"Thank you for clarifying it Hotaru… by the way Hotaru, can you do a favor for me?" Narumi asked her.
"What is it, Narumi-sensei?" he can hear the weariness in her voice.
"Uhm… it's just about our lesson for tomorrow… we need pictures…" he laughed. His eyes were hoping she would do it. Hotaru was, in any case, the best photographer in their class. "And Ruka will help you… right Ruka?"
"Huh? Sir, what are you talking about?" the yellow haired boy questioned their teacher. "You didn't inform me about this… and if I do help her… using my Alice… no! I won't!" he continued. He can tell that if he would help Hotaru and at the same time use his Alice… what kind of pictures will she take? Those pictures can ruin his reputation in just a snap.
"I will do it, Narumi-sensei…" Hotaru started to smirk inside. "…but I need the help of Ruka…" she definitely loved the look on his face. She was going to do this, there would be advantages.
She won't have to suffer boredom.
She will have additional grades.
She can take pictures of Ruka while using his Alice.
Hotaru grinned even more, this was the best task handed onto her.
"This will be the list of the animals you should take pictures of. I can get the other pictures by myself…" Narumi said as he handed Hotaru a piece of paper. "Now, the two of you, Hotaru and Ruka, you have my permission to go…" Narumi smiled.
"Yes, sir…" Hotaru bowed. She left the classroom with Ruka on tow.

"Hotaru, what is this?" Ruka questioned as he looked at the chain around his wrist.
"That is to avoid you from running away…" she answered. The chain was around his and her wrists. It is made for Ruka not to run away when she take pictures of him, he knew it.
"Anyway… what is the first animal?" Ruka's blue eyes wandered on the paper.
"1. The yellow big chick" Hotaru smiled as she hid the paper from his view. That was probably the first blackmailing picture she had taken of him. The good memories…
Ruka couldn't believe he was here with her connected by a chain. The day ahead was going to be harsh…
