Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice….
"Mikan-chan? Have you waked up?" Yui asked, knocking her door.
He waited for a few minutes and got no response from the inside.
"Move aside for a while, Inchiou." Hotaru said, taking out one of her invention.
'Invention no , multi-purpose key that open all kinds of locks and doors!'
Hotaru opened the door, but found that Mikan is not in her room.
"Ano… Mikan-chan wa dokono desu ka?" Yui asked, looking at the room.
"Inchiou, I know where she might be. Why don't you go to homeroom first?" Hotaru said after some thought.
Yui hesitated, "But…. But where could she be?" she asked.
Hotaru smiled secretly, not letting him see, "Somewhere in the dorm." She said.
On her way to find Mikan, she meets Ruka.
"Hotaru-chan, Ohayoo, where are you going?" he asked.
"Ohayoo Ruka-kun, I'm on my way to find Mikan." She said.
Ruka looked at her with surprise, "She is not in her room?" he asked.
She shook, "My guess is that she is in Natsume's room." She said.
"They haven't been spending much time together ever since we return from the village. I think Natsume wants to spend more time with her." Ruka said, holding her hand.
Hotaru just smiled at his comment as they walked to Natsume's room. Once they reached his room, Hotaru took out her key again and opened the door without knocking at it first. When the door is opened, they both found Mikan sleeping in Natsume's embrace.
"Mikan, wake up." Hotaru shake her.
"Na… Nani? Oh, Hotaru, Ohayoo." She said with a yawn.
Hotaru then handed her the school uniform, "You better change fast. We're going to be late for the checkup." She then said.
"What? It's so late already? Oh no!" She then shouted, getting up to change.
"So what if we're late? It's not like we are going to get killed or what." Natsume said, awaken by their entrance.
"Demo…" Mikan started but was interrupted.
"If you really don't want to be late for the checkup, then hurry up. I'm not waiting for you!" Hotaru said.
Mikan immediately stop her arguing and quickly changed. As soon as they are done, they ran to their homeroom and make it just on time before Narumi came in and bring them to the hospital. When they reached the hospital, the class was divided into girl section and boy section.
"Natsume, why is Mikan in your room?" Ruka whispered.
Natsume looked at him, "We saw those 2 people again in our dreams." He said, avoiding Ruks's question.
"I see…" Ruka answered.
"Next, Nogi and Hyuuga!" the nurse called out and they went in.
The doctor was very shocked at the figures he receives every time when he do the checkup on Natsume and Ruka. Both their figure of Alice is extremely high compared to last year.
"Ach… Natsume-kun, Ruka-kun, have you 2 been taking any medicine or pills or not?" The doctor asked.
"No, Doctor Tanaka? Why do you ask? Is there anything wrong?" Ruka asked.
Doctor Tanaka looked at them, "Well, according to the static of you Alice figures, it shows that both of yours Alice has increase tremulously. Especially Natsume-kun, your Alice type has changed. Your Alice type now is indefinite power which will also not decrease your life span." He said. "Other from that, both of you are fine." He continued.
"…. Doctor Tanaka, please keep this from Persona." Natsume said.
He thought for a while and nodded, "I'll keep this from him for a while. You got to tell him after all, Natsume-kun." he then said.
Natsume did not reply him and left the room. At Mikan and Hotaru side is also the same. The doctor also detect that both Mikan's and Hotaru's Alice is more powerful than before. It is the same scenario as Natsume and Ruka.
"Ne, ne… Natsume-kun, Ruka-pyon, how's your checkup?" Mikan asked.
"Well, everything is fine, except for…." Ruka said.
"Ruka!" Natsume suddenly interrupt him.
Mikan looked at Natsume and asked, "Except for what, Natsume-kun?"
"Nothing Mikan." he answered.
"I see… That's strange, for Hotaru and mine is a bit strange. The doctor says that our Alice is more powerful now." Mikan said absently.
Hotaru looked at Natsume and Ruka, "My guess is that they were also being told that their Alice is more powerful, too." She then said.
Upon hearing that Natsume looked at Mikan, "Where the necklace is that Ruka's parent gave you?"
"I wear it along for the checkup." She answered.
Ruka thought for a while, "I get it! The increase in our Alice might be due to the necklaces that my parent gave us." He said. "Those necklaces seem to contain Alice powers that one person has." He then said.
"I see…" Mikan said.
Suddenly, there is a knock on the door and Youichi and Shiki entered the room without being invited.
"Mikan nee-chan, Daisuke told Shiki just now that there is fair at Central at night. Shiki wants to go." Shiki said as she sat at Mikan's lap.
"What do you guys think?" Mikan then asked the rest.
"There is no restriction today because of the night fair. I think we can afford to go and relax for a while." Ruka said.
They arranged to meet at 6pm and went back to each other's room to wash up. However, they did not notice that someone is looking at them with an evil smile.
