A REALLY WEIRD STORY

Author's Notes: I do not own Gakuen Alice. If I do, I make Hotaruka pairing become real. If I cannot found it on the anime, it is not mine.

Chapter 2

I Don't Know the Title…Sucky Author I Am

Good title, you stupid author! Anyway, here is the summarized version of the last chapter.

Mikan missing. Shiroinu arrive. He asks Natsume for a duel. Natsume lose badly. Done.

Such a summary.

Natsume open his eyes. The first thing his brain processed is the image of the blue sky with most of it is covered with black cloud, above his head. To Natsume, who just wake up, the only reason he could think about why he's here is that he just doing his usual habit. Skipping class (Narumi-sensei's class actually), laying on his favorite sakura tree, and sleep.

Then, memories start rushing in, along with the feeling of aches in numerous limbs of his body. The aches are just too painful that it restraints Natsume to doing anything else but moving his head right and left. Knowing his situation, there was nothing left for Natsume to do but to close his eyes again.

His eyes twitched, and open a bit to see that it is raining. Because Natsume still unable to move, he close his eyes again. However, that very eye snapped open when the raindrops stop to fell to his head for few seconds before fell again. Something blocks it, even though it was not really effective. What Natsume fears is that SOMEONE is blocking it, not SOMETHING. He still doesn't want to be seen by anyone in this form. Especially Persona.

But it was not Persona or Shiroinu. It is a face he known well, yet he still have a hard time remembering it. Something was different. Until, Natsume raise his hand to move this being's hair. (That action alone is painful) Something weird struck him, as the being's face is the face he has seen almost everyday.

Sakura Mikan.

All right, four humorless paragraphs and one meaningful line. I hate this fic.

Well, if Natsume seen Mikan everyday, why didn't he know that it was she from the very beginning?

"It is bad to fell asleep outside when it rains, you know. You should go to your room," Said Mikan.

"If I can move, I will," Answered Natsume shortly. Oh my god…

"Why? What happen? Are you hurt? Is it about your Alice again?" Ask Mikan frantically.

"It's none of your business" Answered Natsume as he turn his head to the left. Damn it! Why did she look like that?

Aha, we have our answer!

Well, all we know that Natsume are lying on his back on the grass, while Mikan bend his body so her head is above Natsume's, therefore block his head from the rain, right? That is a big mistake for Natsume. When he directly look at Mikan right now, Mikan's cuteness just increases few levels.

Her pigtails are gone. Her hair is down, much to Natsume's delight. The image of wet face of Mikan seems to stir something inside Natsume's heart.

Damn it! Why? Why did she like that? That hair…she looks so cute if she has it down, really. And her face…why did it look so different? Is it the water that turn here to be incredibly cute? Her eyes! That view! Do not look at me! What am I thinking? No! I must not do that!

Man, this guy a pervert!

Natsume has such happy moments now that Mikan is by his side. Or is he? Let's see his thoughts…

Damn it! Why did I think like that? It must be because her, or Shiroinu somehow. Ah! It must be your fault, author! Fix this!

Yeah, you got me.

"Come on, get up. I will help you." Request Mikan while grabbing Natsume's left wrist and pulling it. That action, however has stir another feeling. Hmm…What could it be? Let me think…

"Aw! That's hurt" Barked Natsume.

That's it! Pain. He feels pain. Well, when Mikan pull up his hand, the aches increase, and suddenly, another 'eye' snapped open.

The figure of Mikan has gone. So do the blue sky and the rain. Natsume are laying back on a white bed in a completely in-white color (can't help it, not good at describing things) with three people waiting for his awake. Kuroushi Shiroinu, Imai Hotaru, and Ruka Nogi. After a while, Yuu Tobita enters the room.

Now Natsume know where he is. He is at a hospital room, no doubt the one at Gakuen Alice. What bugs him now is why Ruka and Shiroinu could be in the same room despite that the one who make him sleep here is Shiroinu. With all his strength, Natsume clench his fist and point it at Shiroinu.

"I will...Ugghh!" It's painful enough for him to speak, let alone stopping a guy who can defeat him with ease from hurting his best friend. Natsume however, do not have that kind of thinking. Drawing his power again, Natsume speak with a rather unclear word.

"I will not let you touch Ruka!"

Just as soon as that word is spoken, Shiroinu brown hair is on flame. Yet, Shiroinu kept his cool. As soon as the flame was ignited, it was extinguished. Ruka look in half-shocked, half-surprised, half-convinced, and half-angry. Right, let just say that Ruka has two faces to look in four different half-action altogether. He is really good at it.

"So, the rumor about your nullification Alice is true." Said Ruka, with the same look as what I have described in a paragraph above.

"Yeah, I am. Not a real one, though."

"What do you….mean?" Asked Natsume as he struggles to stand up from his sleep. Shiroinu shows something even more incredible, that shock even the almost emotionless Hotaru.

A flame, in the form of a small ball, appear from nowhere at Shiroinu's hand. He then disperses it. Next, the shadow under his body twitched a little, before forming into a sharp, solid black object. As the last show, from a box of wooden blocks on his side, he made a wooden baka gun with wooden bullets.

Natsume's eye opened so much that it could hop out from his eye, but he shake that off and speak instead, "Invention Alice, Shadow control Alice, and my own Alice. How could you?"

"My normal Alice is not nullification Alice. It's host Alice. I could be a host to one person, and then that person's Alice will be enabled for me to access, even let me strengthen it, just like what I did to you. Then, I could use a small amount of that person's best friends' Alice. That includes Yuu-kun, Ruka-kun, and much more. I could access Kokoroyomi's mind-reading Alice, Noda-sensei's time-traveling Alice, even Narumi-sensei's pheromone Alice. The power is so small though, I usually cannot rely the other Alice than my host's Alice."

Uuggh! Long speaking! If you don't understand what Shiroinu is saying, then don't pretend to understand. Go back up there and read it again. Still not understand? Read it again. Continue to read it until you really, truly understand, if not…

"Rankiribe, cut those out or I have to flame this good-for-nothing fic." Threatened Natsume. Alright I will. I just cannot stand a humorless paragraph.

"So, what are you saying?" Ask Hotaru. This question lead to an answer she does not want to hear.

"What I am saying is that…Mikan Sakura is now dead." Prior to this question, Hotaru still kept her calm, but upon hearing this, she had grabbed Shiroinu by the collar, and deem for an explanation.

"Well, she not exactly dead. Not really alive though. She is not on the state where she can move by her own."

"Why?" Ask Natsume and Hotaru simultaneously (this is one of the long words I hate to type. At least it is shorter than 'at the same time' or is it? I am not good at counting letters. Oh well)

"It's because of those Kikannouryouku-kei (Dangerous type class, where Alices with power that considered dangerous are on. Natsume are one of the students) students. One of them has memory Alice."

"What does that have to do with this?"

"Memory Alice can do both actions with memory; delete or create it. In this particular case, both of Mikan's soul memories and body memories are deleted."

"Soul memory? Body memory? What trash are you talking about?" Ask Natsume.

"Soul memory is the 'regular' memory which is the kind of memory that flowed to your brain. Body memory is, actions done so much by your body, that your body learns how to do it without brain waves." Explained Hotaru.

"So, body memory is like…?" Ask Yuu; still do not get the idea.

"It's like how you can walk without thinking about how is the exact way of doing it. It is also like when you talk."

"So, you meant…" Guessed Natsume. This was not the explanation he desires…

"Right. Mikan, whose both soul and body memory are deleted, cannot do anything, except breathing. She cannot move, cannot speak, heck, she cannot even open her eyes."

That horrible news echoed few times in Hotaru's head. Her best friend, the always-cheerful girl as far as she knows, is now helpless in everyway. Somehow, this information hurts her heart that she decided to leave without saying anything, only to stop as instant as she tries to leave. Shiroinu's work.

"There is only one thing we can do, but I need Yuu-kun, Imai-san, and Nogi-kun's help in this plan."

"What is the plan?"

"Imai-san, you should make an invention that can be used as weapons by Nogi's Alice, and some defensive inventions. Nogi and Yuu, you two should be prepared. This plan is hard and dangerous. Hyuuga-san, rest until you can move normally, then helps me on my search."

"What are we trying to do actually?" Ask Yuu.

"We're going to dive into the Kikannouryouku-kei."

That single saying began their mission. But wait, how many humorless paragraphs are here? I hate this fic!

Author's Note: Well, here is the second WORST and LEAST ORIGINAL fic. Not partially humor/romance genre, I know. The first romance between actual people should begin on the next chapter. Could you review? No flames please. Especially the real flame. No rabbits and muscular guy in skirts photo.

(P)Review of the third chapter (is it preview or review for an incoming chapter? Tell me!) :

"Oh really? Well, I suppose I can. Watch this."

In the next second, the very scene left a fainted student.

"That's all? It's not fun."

I just don't want to create your name. Go away.
