Flash Back
'Mikan…' the first girl snarled.
'What?' asked the all too innocent 12 year old girl.
'It's time… to die,' the second girl hissed as she yanked the brunette's hair.
'Ouch!' Mikan screeched as she continued, 'Stop it!!'
'After what YOU did?!' the first girl hissed as she slapped Mikan's cheek, 'You stole Natsume away from us! DO you think YOU'RE GOD?!'
'Yeah, do you?!' the air headed seaweed green haired one snarled.
'HE belongs to US. So stop talking to him! Unless… You want one of you to die…' the first girl, revealed herself to be the bitch, Luna.
The two traumatized Mikan with words from her past and beat her up until she fainted.
Mikan, being her innocent self, couldn't defend herself.
The two smirked as Luna gave a kick to her already bruised side. Surmire put a necklace around her… But of course, that necklace was cursed…
The twosome ran away as Mikan started to moan in pain. She slowly slid to the ground where Persona materialized to the spot.
'DAMN IT!' he cursed out loud.
END OF FLASH BACK
Mikan's tears kept sliding down her face. A loud burst from her door opening, revealing a handsome guy with shiny jet black hair and warm chocolate eyes.
"Mikan," he whispered as he patted her hair. Mikan automatically went to cry on his shoulder and threw her arms around his neck.
"It's okay… Everything is going to be alright," he spoke softly as he hugged her tightly against his chest.
Mikan looked at him with her wide puffy hazel eyes saying, 'Promise me?'
"I promise Mikan… Right after I go beat up those two freaks with Hotaru," Masao chuckled as Mikan cracked a small little smile.
"Get dressed up because we have some plans…" Masao grinned as Mikan looked absolutely confused.
"What plans?" Mikan cocked her head to the side.
"Plans, plans," Masao chuckled as he left the brunette to herself.
She took a shower and decided her clothes…
She wore a baby blue spaghetti strapped shirt and a three quarter sleeved, half length navy jacket with tight black jeans. She had her hair down as it gently waved to the bottom of her back as she put on some black DC shoes.
"I'm done," Mikan chirped as she pretended that, that morning never happened.
She came across Masao who was in a navy jacket, baby blue tee-shirt, and black jeans with black Vans.
"Whoa! We nearly matched!" Mikan stared wide-eye.
Masao laughed as he placed an arm around Mikan, as if he had to make sure that she won't runaway.
"Are they together?" voices whispered about Masao and Mikan.
"Aw, I wanted Masao!"
"No I was going to have him!"
"Aw, I love you, Mikan!"
"I love Mikan more!"
"I love Masao more than I love myself!"
"Mikan-Hime is always going to be my love!"
"Wow," the two cousins breathed as Masao led her to the deserted Café where Persona, Hotaru, Youchii, and Ruka await for them.
"Hotaru!" Mikan squealed with delight as she rushed over and hugged Hotaru.
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"Hotaru!!" Mikan cried waterfalls.
"Don't hug me…" stated the emotionless inventor, Hotaru as she blew on the tip of her baka gun.
"So, what's up?" Mikan asked everyone as they guided her to a table of 6 and they all sat down. It was a round circle where Mikan sat in between Hotaru and Persona with Masao on Persona's right. Ruka was in between Masao and Hotaru and Youchii chose to sit in Mikan's lap.
"I sent the kitten on a pointless mission," Persona grinned as he was then blinded by a bright light. Hotaru of course, was thinking of selling pictures of Persona smiling to non-believers.
"What did you do?" Mikan asked her older brother.
"I made him clean up a mysterious room and then cook lunch for nursery students in Gakuen Alice," he smirked.
Ruka sweat dropped as he stuttered, "Don't you think that's little too harsh…?"
"Nope," Persona responded as Mikan said, "He's only saying that because the mysterious room is his bedroom."
With Mikan's last words, everyone burst out laughing.
"Mama," Youchii tugged at Mikan's sleeve.
"Yes, sweetie?" Mikan wrapped her arms around the young gray haired boy.
"I have Aunt Hotaru, Uncle Masao, Uncle Persona, and Uncle Ruka! We're having a tea party," Youchii giggled happily.
"Uncle Persona, eh?" Mikan cocked an eyebrow at Persona.
"It's better than being called grandpa," Persona shrugged. Everyone laughed at his statement even Youchii who didn't fully get what was going on.
"Speaking of Persona, Mikan I never knew he was your brother," Ruka said as Hotaru waved over a robot which was carrying tea and food like cookies and finger sandwiches.
"Well, Persona and I want to keep it a secret…" Mikan said as she helped herself to a cookie.
"I can assume that," Ruka nodded as he inquired, "What about Masao?"
Mikan jabbed a finger at her dear cousin and asked, "That pig? He's my cousin from my mom's side of the family."
"Oh wow," Ruka sweat dropped.
"Got anymore questions, bunny boy?" Hotaru asked coldly as she sipped on her tea.
"Did you know all this, Hotaru?" Ruka asked his stoic girlfriend.
"Well, if Mikan is basically part of my family, then of COURSE I wouldn't know!" Hotaru exclaimed sarcastically.
Masao snorted at the comment as he spoke, "She knew me before Mikan and I knew about each other… She's a stalker, I'll give her that."
Even Hotaru cracked a small grin at that comment as Persona said, "Anyways, we're here to talk about your engagement, Mikan."
Everyone but Masao, Hotaru, and Persona spat out their drink.
"Engagement?!" they all cried out.
Youchii whimpered as tears began to form. He thought, well pretended to look he thinking, that his wonderful made up family was being split up, "Then, what happens to daddy?"
Mikan sighed as she played with her 'son's' hair, "I don't know, Youchii…"
Persona smirked, "Well, I was talking to the father of your soon to be husband… He said that you two will get married when you turn 17."
Mikan's honey brown eyes widened as she asked hoarsely, "Who am I getting married to?!"
Hotaru chimed in, "That my dear, you'll have to find out for yourself and that information is for us to know."
Mikan puffed her cheeks and stood up.
"Hotaru, you plan my wedding with Persona, I'm going for a walk," Mikan said as she marched away leaving her child in the arms of her cousin.
As they heard the door slam, Youchii demanded as he qiped away the fake tears, "I want my money now!"
Ruka sweat dropped as he handed Youchii a wad of cash as Hotaru smirked, "That baka will never change. She doesn't even know that Natsume was planned to be her husband from the time she was 12…"
With Mikan she sprinted over to her safe spot in the whole academy, the Sakura Tree.
She just sat down at the rough base of the tree where Natsume seemed to mysteriously dissolved too.
"Oi, Polka Dots, what are you doing here?" Natsume asked as he sat beside her, taking note of how she was chewing gently on her bottom lip.
"Hmm?" she asked a little distracted.
"I asked what's wrong," the red eyed boy said.
"I'm… engaged," Mikan answered flatly as her honey brown orbs flashed a little darker.
Natsume's poor heart flared up with anger and envy as he asked, "Who is it? Who are you marrying?"
"That's the problem… I don't know… My cousin and brother arranged it and Hotaru is already planning it," Mikan replied.
"What are you going to do about it?" the crimson eyed boy asked.
"I don't know…" Mikan said with a yawn.
"Oh, is Polka Dots tired?" Natsume smirked as Mikan closed her eyes, too tired to fight back and said, "Uh-hmm."
"Are you going to use me as a human pillow?" he asked with sarcasm that Mikan couldn't pick up since she was to drowsy too.
"Possibly," she yawned.
The girl with long silky hair opened an eye and asked, "How was cleaning up that 'mysterious' room?"
Natsume was confused on how she knew, but answered, "Messy. Pizza boxes and empty soda cans laying around with half eaten food all over. It was gross."
Mikan chuckled and said, "Wow… That's why he was asking for my garbage can… That Persona…"
Natsume cocked an eyebrow and asked, "How do you know about that?"
"Easy… I'm… His…" Mikan fell asleep due to her lack of sleep from last night.
'Huh?' Natsume thought as he pondered about what Mikan is to his teacher that has become more nicer and not as strict.
Mikan rested on Natsume's shoulder as he leaned against the wooden bark of the tree and silently read his manga. The two gathered a few minutes of peace before a faint yell cam across Natsume's ears.
"Mikan! Mikan!" it grew louder and louder with each passing second.
After 5 minutes of being irritated by shouting, a boy with shiny jet black hair and chocolate eyes stood in front of Natsume.
"Finally!" he breathed as he leaned down, ignoring Natsume entirely as he started to shake Mikan awake.
"Hmm?" Mikan murmured as she delicately opened up her eyes to reveal wide hazel ones.
"Your brother is worried about you and so is Youchii. Hotaru won't show it, but she's also worried…" Masao said.
"…" Mikan's response was like.
"C'mon, you can't be that mad, right?" Masao pleaded with a puppy dog face.
"I'M GETTING MARRIED! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?!" Mikan exploded. Natsume was taken aback because he never heard Mikan like this, but didn't show it… Unlike Masao who seem unfazed as if he goes through this everyday, which he probably has.
"I'd be happy because you had your brother, Hotaru, Youchii, and I pick the dude," Masao snapped.
"Youchii too…?" Mikan asked quizzically.
"Yeah…" Masao nodded as if he was speaking to a dumb person which was the entire opposite.
Mikan sighed as she admitted defeat, "I guess it can't be all bad then…"
Masao wore a big grin as he ruffled his cousin's hair playfully, "That's my girl."
Mikan chuckled as she exclaimed, "I'm not yours!"
"For now, you are," Masao said childishly.
"Nah… I'll be Youchii's grandpa's girl," Mikan laughed as her hazel eyes twinkled in amusement.
"I thought we established that he'd be the uncle…" Masao trailed off.
"Yeah… BUT THIS DUDE IS OLD!!" Mikan shrieked with laughter.
"Wait until he hears you…" Masao tsked.
"Think about it… He's is older than us…" Mikan explained, reasoning her logic.
"Pft. By 14 years," Masao rolled his eyes.
"Hey Natsume, want to grab something to eat with us?" Masao offered as he glanced at his surroundings for the first time since he got to that place.
Being Natsume walked away with jealously burning wildly in his heart. He made way to the dorms where all Alice students lived in.
"Hey Natsume," Ruka called out as he saw his best friend getting near.
"Don't tell him," hissed Hotaru as she walked her own way.
Ruka sweat dropped as Natsume replied, "Hn."
"What is it?" Ruka pretended to be dumb, though he was one of the masterminds behind operation: Get Mikan and Natsume together.
"Hn."
"You can tell me."
"Hn."
"I'm your best friend you know…"
"Hn."
"You're impossible," Ruka rolled his eyes.
"Hn," Natsume said uninterestedly.
"C'mon, you know you can trust me," Ruka said.
"It's nothing," Natsume finally said as he turned his back on his best friend and walked away.
"Natsume…" Ruka murmured as he shook his head and then walked to his girlfriend's dorm.
As Natsume wandered aimlessly, a man dressed in all black and wearing a white mask followed him closely.
"Natsume!" he barked as Natsume halted right away.
"What?" he snapped.
"What's bothering you?" Persona asked as he mentally hit himself on the head since he's usually not as blunt.
'She's rubbing off on me. I'm going to get her...' Persona thought to himself.
"Why do you care?" Natsume snapped once again, oblivious to the fact that THE Persona had done kind act.
"Coz I'm your teacher," Persona said coolly.
"So?" Natsume asked.
"Spit it out, kitty," Persona ordered.
"Hn."
"Hey! I thought I was your kitty!" smirked a new voice.
Both guys looked up startled. They gazed to a smirking girl wearing an ice blue halter top with tight black jeans with a blue mask on. Her honey locks fell gracefully around her back.
"Ice Princess," Persona smirked back.
"Tsk. Tsk. Persona, your sensing is going down," she jumped off the branch she was casually on and landed in the middle of both men.
"I'm not dropping," Persona said.
"Oh? I was following you since the start," she smirked.
"Why are you here?" Persona asked.
"I want to figure out who the guy is," Ice Princess said, referring to her fiancé.
"Good luck on that," Persona smirked as Natsume gazed at the two people.
"Anyways, Black Cat, tell us what's bothering you," Ice Princess snapped. She saw how Persona was doing a knid act and asking Natsume, but he didn't respond. She wanted her older brother's question answered because he rarely askes around.
"Hn," was his oh-so-famous line that he spoke.
"That's not even a real word," Persona and Ice Princess said at the same time.
"Oh, wow what do we have here? Twins?" Natsume asked sarcastically.
"Close, I'm his little sister," smirked the girl decked out in all blue.
"Now, you shouldn't tell him that," chided Persona.
"Whatever, both of you are impossible. I'm ditching," Ice Princess rolled her eyes and she hopped back into the tree and went away.
"Let me guess, you are worried bout that Mikan girl?" Persona smirked because even he knew that his Black Cat had a crush on his sister.
"Hn."
"Admit it," Persona ordered.
"Hn."
"Oh, Natsume, I have a letter from your father…" Persona said as he gave the red eyed lad a letter.
"Hn," the guy with raven hair and red eyes looked down at the letter as Persona left him alone.
He slowly ripped it up as he read the following:
Dear Son,
I had a talk with a polite lad and when
you turn 17, you'll be getting married through an arranged marriage.
▬ Dad
