To kawii.yan: In the previous chapter, Natsume didn't know that Midori is dead. Are you wondering why Ruka knows? Weelll… that's because he's in cahoots with –toot- Oh yeah! And just so you know, Hotaru's also with Ruka. I hope this chapter answers your questions… or any kind of… confusement? God, I suck at this… well, sue me if you have the time. Thank you for reviewing!!!
To Iysabelle: The GOTHS escaped together, they grabbed a car from Alice Academy and then rode the train station where they would part. Really, if you were trapped in a school for years, wouldn't you want to ditch it too and see your family? In Mikan's case though, she received a letter from her mom about her dying father (Who is really alright)…
If you read the tenth chapter, Mikan's mom found her because their escape was aired all-over the world by the news crew… And Lara Cameron-Sakura is a smart cookie. She knows that her daughter was behind it. Thank you for reviewing!!!
To glenda23: Midori is, as stated in the previous chapter, Natsume's girlfriend and Hotaru's sister. And Natsume is nervous because he's seeing his girlfriend he hasn't seen for a year or so… not knowing that she –toot- Hehe... thank you for reviewing!!!
To KittyCat: I am terribly sorry for the unnecessary over-dramatics that I use in order to add humor to my fic. I try very hard to please all of you. And thank you for not reporting my story… er… did you? –GULP- I promise to refrain from making my fics 'rude' next time.
To The Readers: I am terribly sorry for the extremely long Author's Note that I know you will not read. Thank you for reviewing:

Revelations
Alice Academy was in turmoil…
The students, who were also craving for freedom kept on trying their luck by having a rally at the (now with a whole) gate. The yelled their chants and shouted their wants… only to be pushed back by the guards that surrounded the hole, as construction workers tried their best to fix the huge dent in the wall.
God, I am so proud of the person that caused that. –Cough- Mikan –cough-
Off all the rebellions in Alice Academy that has been recorded in history, only this one pulled through…
And Reo Mori was impressed.
The silver screen showed the happenings around the Academy… Reo Mouri, with his brown eyes gleaming, pushed the button located right of his plush, red armchair. The screen divided into 6 sections.
Gutnie Chabi was currently tied to a chair, and no, he was not kidnapped. Yet. In this case, the screen showed Gutnie's mother scolding him again and again for some reason…
Reo pushed another button and the part where Gutnie's face was shown became black, a GPS tracking map switched in its place…
Reo took out a cell phone located in his pocket and dialed a number…
"Hello? This is Kasuke Herada, Alice Academy Principal III, your number is unregistered. Who are you?"
The voice sounded distressed and panicky, this brought a sadistic smirk on Reo's face…
"Mr. Kasuke Herada…"
- - - - - -
"Er… mom?"
Gutnie wasn't sure what to do. He was tied to a chair, thanks to his mother's orders, with the ropes practically 2 inches thick. Gutnie looked up innocently at his mother, who was at the boiling point of rage, which was unbeknownst by Gutnie. Then a sugary voice interrupted his thoughts…
"Gutnie, dear…"
Gutnie gulped, his mother wasn't like this at all, he knew better than to trust the act she was putting up.
"…what happened to your waist line?"
You see, unlike Gluttony Chubby over there (who was currently tied to a chair which was nailed to the ground), his mother was a health freak.
"You know how much I disapprove of… junk food,"
Insert Gutnie's horrified expression here.
"…being overweight,"
Insert Gutnie's whimper here.
"…and I disapprove of the possibility of you ever eating… again. From now on, you'll be having a diet."
The whole Chabi household shook under the scream that just erupted from the so-called human that was Gutnie.
Gutnie kept on yelling stuff like,
"YOU WON'T TAKE ME ALLIVE!" or "IF YOU DON'T UNTIE ME NOW, I SWEAR I WILL EAT MYSELF!" and "I'M HUNGRY!"
With an inhuman force, Gutnie managed to break free from the chair and the ropes that bound him. He ran towards the kitchen, knowing that his dad always kept a stash of delicious, mouth-watering, heaven-sent junk food somewhere…
Hold on a sec, I'm getting hungry.
Okay, on with the fic…
Sprinting towards the cupboard, he opened it.
PRAISE THE LORD!
There, inside the square, wooden furniture were Cheetohs. Deliciously cheesy and mouth-watering Cheetohs.
He grabbed one, but before he could taste the deliciously cheese infested junk food, his mother's scream interrupted his thoughts of acquiring more calories.
"DON'T YOU DARE!"
Gutnie did a double take and grabbed all of the junk food inside the cupboard.
"COME ANY CLOSER AND I SWEAR! I WILL EAT ALL OF THESE!"
His mother pondered about the outcome of Gutnie eating all of those things... more carbs… more junk for his kidney to clean… she shuddered.
"Gutnie, please…"
She took a step closer to her son, her eyes anxious and wary…
"If you eat that… The diet is definitely going to toughen… even more."
Gutnie gulped, and ran towards the door…
… only to find dozens of cops surrounding him, preventing him from escaping the wrath of his mother.
Aw, and he was about to eat the Cheetohs, too.

Otanashi Yura stared in disbelief. Is this how somebody treats somebody else who hasn't returned home for how many years?
She expected a hug, a kiss, maybe even a lecture for doing something notorious but…
… She never expected her dad to buy her new clothes and cosmetics.
Apparently, said father has a few screws loose.
"Oh, Yura-chan… your hair is such a mess! And your skin is so oily!"
Otanashi rolled her eyes. Blabber on, oh mad and bald one. She felt a pang in her chest when her father didn't even… He… She was gone for a few years! And he's there, talking nonstop about a new facial wash from Niliphippes or somewhere…
Her eyes felt watery, so seeing her again only meant another trip to the Facial Center?
"… yes, it really is great! I got them shipped from Manila! And now that you're here, I'll give you a whole box!"
"Dad! I don't care about the new facial wash from Niliphippes—"
"It's Philippines, honey… But honestly, that thing is a break through! I have never used something as fast as that…"
Furious and tearful, Otanashi stood up from the sofa and promptly walked towards the door. She stooped and leaned on the doorway and glared at her so-called father.
"Dad, See you when I GRADUATE."
Turning her head, she walked out…
…and was very shocked to see police officers outside their house.
- - - - - -
Tobita Yuu struggled against the handcuffs that were binding his hands. They were painfully annoying and he swore he felt his wrists bleeding from the pain.
How the Academy authorities found him, he did not know. All he knew was that he was in deep shit.
Pfffffffffffffffffft… And they said not everyone who shits on you is your enemy...
Yeah, right.
And Yuu was a fairy with ten thousand wings.
Yuu wriggled again… argh! This is no use! Trying to escape the iron grip around his wrists was like… like… seeing an apple in an orange tree.
The police officer led him inside the car, readying to bring him back to the prison he just escaped from. Feh, so much for freedom.
He only got to see his family for an hour. An hour is hardly enough to make up for the years he lost.
Groaning, he sat in the back seat, no longer resisting. His heart sank at the thought that occurred to him… Although he hated to admit it, they… the GOTHS…
Failed

Hotaru Imai stared calmly at the back of a plush, red, arm chair.
Right; and calm means Doomsday. That was sarcasm, people. Of course she wasn't feeling calm!
"Hotaru-chan…" The person in the armchair said in a sing-song voice.
It annoyed the hell out of her, glaring daggers, she answered in the most hostile voice she could muster.
"What?"
The person in the armchair faced her, his lips forming a manic grin, his brown eyes cold and sadistic…
"Mikan Sakura needs to be accepted in your group… That's all I'm asking of you, after she gets accepted, the plan will immediately set into action. Am I clear?"
Hotaru glared at him, her purple eyes deadly.
"And what if I don't?"
The man in the armchair laughed… wickedly. The sound of his laughter echoing through the small room they were in.
"Easy. I do it myself, and discard of you. Of course, I'll have to kill what's left of your family first and then proceed to you."
Hotaru widened her eyes.
"You wouldn't…"
The man smirked at her, satisfied with her expression.
"You know me, Hotaru-chan… I'll only say this once more. Am I clear?"
Hotaru looked at him, her eyes fighting back the tears that threatened to escape.
"Transparently clear…
…Reo-sama…"

Hyuuga Natsume gulped nervously as the humble house of the Imai's came to view.
He quickened his pace, excitement washing over him…
EXCITEMENT? O.M.G! This cannot be happening! I mean, come on! The only possible time excitement and Natsume come together in a sentence would be when… "Natsume stopped the excitement of the crowd when he murdered the chicken mascot." There. That is the only time those two words come together.
…He was going to see his girlfriend… (-Insert author's frustrated scream here-)
Finally arriving at the door, he rang the door bell. And waited… And waited… And waited…
He rang the door bell again.
Hearing footsteps coming from the inside, he gulped again.
This is it.
He looked down, finding his shoes very interesting at the moment. When he heard the door open, he gulped one last time.
"Midori… I—"
Natsume was interrupted by the sound of a man's voice.
"Son, I need to tell you something."
Looking up, Natsume saw the silver hair and deep purple eyes of Yukito Imai, Hotaru and Midori Imai's father.
-Ehem- How embarrassing.
- - - - - -
Sakura Mikan: Upon arriving at the hospital, Mikan rushed towards the room of her dad, pushing people out of the way and ignoring the stares around her as if saying 'I have a few screws loose. So BACK OFF!'
Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.
With her mother and best friend behind her, she sprinted all the way towards the staircase and reached the 5th floor.
Panting, she heard the loud 'ting' of the elevator and saw her mom and best friend go out of the electronic box.
"How –pant- come you're –pant- already here? –Pant, pant-"
Smirking, Minouru bonked her in the head.
"Baka, you should have used the elevator."
- - - - - -
Yukito Imai looked at Natsume Hyuuga forlornly. He was watching the news and when the part where the "Alice Academy Escapes" was aired, he had a feeling that his daughter's boyfriend was going to visit.
Natsume caught sight of the look Yukito was giving him and was suddenly filled with dread.
"What did you want to tell me?" Natsume's voice was barely above a whisper. Both of them were in the living room, sitting on armchairs opposite each other.
"Hyuuga-san… It pains me to tell you this…" He started, closing his eyelids, shielding his violet eyes from anyone.
"…My daughter, Midori-chan…"
Natsume stared at him intently, wondering what he could possibly tell him.
"…committed suicide."
And with that, the door burst open, revealing police officers and the Alice Academy authorities trailing close behind them.
Natsume was to numb to notice that he was being handcuffed and shoved into a car.
- - - - - -
Opening the door, Mikan saw her dad lying on a white bed, his eyes widened when he saw his daughter.
"DAD!"
Mikan rushed to his side and gave him a hug.
"I've missed you so much… I've missed all of you!"
Mikan released her hug, a tearful smile on her face. Her dad smiled at her too, overjoyed in seeing his daughter again.
"Dad, I'm really sorry…"
Okahito Sakura, Mikan's father, smiled.
"You don't have to worry about anything, dear… I'm perfectly fine. In fact, I'll be out of the hospital in two weeks."
Mikan breathed a smile of relief. And she thought he was dying! Sheesh. I guess this just proves to show how over-dramatic Mikan could be.
"I'm really, really glad to hear that dad… But… can you move your hand?"
With that question, Okahito Sakura's eyes darkened.
"I'm afraid… I'll… This is going to be hard to say out loud, dear, but… I won't be able to play the piano for the rest of my life."
Mikan's eyes widened, as the door to their room burst open.
No, it was not a doctor… neither was it a nurse…
It was a police officer.
- - - - - -
"GIVE ME MY CHEETOHS BACK!"
Gutnie yelled endless cuss words at the police officer who was eating his delicious… mouth-watering Cheetohs… Mmm…
Said police officer snickered, and emptied the Cheetohs Gutnie was oh-so yelling to have.
Gutnie gave a small whimper, before the cell he was in opened and in came two of his teammates.
"Otanashi? Tobita?" Gutnie cried, shocked.
"They caught both of you too?"
Yuu glared at the guard who was snickering at them.
"Why are you keeping us here? We didn't do anything wrong! Well… nothing against the Ten Commandments anyway…" Yuu said, rather snappishly at the guard.
"Idiotic kid, we're only keeping you here until they capture the rest of you're group." The guard smirked and added in a rather challenging tone.
"And I thought you kids from that academy were smart…"
All three occupants in the cell glared at him.
"It's easy to get out of here, you know. And before you say anything degrading to us, I suggest you shut your trap." Otanashi said, her death glare fixed on the guard.
The guard sneered at them, his beady eyes amused… in a sadistic, bastardly way, "I'd like to see you try, punks."
This time, it was Gutnie who smirked.
"You're sitting exactly 2.35 meters away from us."
"It would only take us 16 minutes and 56 seconds to get out of here." Yuu continued, his glasses (which was covered with tape, thanks to Otanashi) shimmering dangerously.
"And I can tell that this prison cell has had about 4 break-outs." Otanashi added.
The guard gaped at them. He was not exactly sure about what the fat guy and the geeky one said, but the girl… she was dead on right.
What the jdfergdjf?
"Don't ever insult anyone who has about two hundred points of Intelligence Quotient higher than your measly score. And… you owe me 6 packs of Cheetohs." Gutnie said, whining.
Otanashi and Yuu rolled their eyes.
"Way to go ruin the mood, food-face."
All of a sudden (dun dun duuuuun), they heard the undeniable sound of Mikan's voice, screaming profanities at the men who were holding her by the wrists.
"I HAVEN'T EVEN SAID A PROPPER GOOD-BYE TO MY DAD! YOU ARE ALL &#$()((&)(&($$&!"
Wincing at her rather wide choice of words, Otanashi wondered why they found them so easily…
Well… the fact that they found them in their houses also helped… They also took their disguises of… how stupid of them. But then again... the Academy isn't supposed to hold any kind of personal information about them... nil, nada, zip.
Groaning, she turned to face the door leading to the cell opening and Mikan Sakura being shoved inside, her face red from fury.
"!$&(&$#&???erihfidhyr!"
"Okaaaaaay, Mikan, enough with the… erm… sinister choice of vocabulary." Yuu said, his baby blue eyes dancing with amusement.
Mikan groaned, and proceeded to take off the disguise she was still wearing.
She took off the green contacts and rubbed her palms against her hair, waiting for the black hair color to come off.
"I can't believe this… Well, at least dad's not gonna die…" She said rather miserably.
"Alright, let them out. Everyone's already been caught."
All 4 of them swiveled their heads in the direction of the voice. The guard nodded at the man who spoke earlier, and opened the cell.
With all 4 of them handcuffed, the guard led them to a car, and pushed them inside…
… where their leader was already seated, his hands behind his back.
The man turned the engine on, while Otanashi whispered something in Natsume's ear.
"Natsume, we can still get out of this, it's pretty easy… Gutnie and Sakura-san said --"
"No," Was his pained answer.
All of them fell silent.
"What's wrong, man? Something up?" Gutnie asked, his expression a mixture of curiosity and sympathy.
"She's dead…" It was barely above a whisper, but all of them heard it clearly.
- - - - - -
"Otanashi-san…"
Mikan Sakura eyed Otanashi Yura weirdly, as if she just grew two heads. They were already in the Academy, and Mikan wanted to talk to the teen about something that has been bothering her.
"What?"
Scratching her head, Mikan leaned in to whisper something to her "What was Hyuuga talking about?"
Raising her eyebrow, Otanashi sighed heavily before she answered her in the same hushed voice, "Midori's dead."
Raising her eyebrow in question, "Who's Midori?" Mikan asked, her tone rude.
"His girlfriend. Didn't you know that…"
Mikan's face knotted in pure confusion. "Otanashi-san, I didn't know who his girlfriend was… but I'm as sure as hell that Hyuuga already knew she was dead"
"You're acting weird, Sakura." Otanashi looked at her weirdly, before stalking off.
Mikan remembered the conversation she had with Ruka one day at the cafeteriea…
"The school won't let them go out… Natsume Hyuuga, he's been trying to go out ever since he learned that his girlfriend died. But they won't let him."
What was going on?
She was sure of one thing though, Ruka was going to get one heck of an interrogation tomorrow.

ARGH! (Dodges rotten tomato) Alright! I'm sorry! (Dodges anchor) I went to Cebu for a short vacation (Dodges grand piano)! ALRIGHT!
I know I updated late (Insert reader's frustrated scream of "YOU THINK?" here). SORRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

I understand perfectly why I'd be burned dead tomorrow because of the flames. But please… Review?
