me: my my my there have been some major misunderstandings about why i put Yuki in the story. No she is not here to take Natsume away from Mikan by being all flirty flirt with him. Natsume only teased her to show that they are friends. So sorry for the misunderstandings. But, i can tell you now that Yuki is very important in this story even if i introduced her so late!

hotaru: Disclaimer's Note: Lilmissmex3 does not own Gakuen Alice

yuki: i get shivers even IMAGINING flirting with Natsume! EEK! GROSS

natsume: i feel the same way.

mikan: hehe you two are funny!

Chapter 17: I want the truth

The bell rung and Natsume dragged Yuki over to a corner, he had some major questions for her.

Natsume's P.O.V.

"Oi, baka, why'd you lie to the baka over there, and why was she so confused about how we knew each other?" I asked her. She sighed and looked me straight in the eye

"Do you really think... that when both of us moved at the same time around the same time that her parents died, it was easy for her? I was still close when i moved so i still saw her on weekends sometimes, but you came all the way here. Everyone she was so used to seeing everyday, you me her mom her dad, all taken away from her just like that... I visited her every chance i got when she was at her Ji-chan's house. I even skipped school to see her when she was going through... Here come with me" she said

We walked outside and found a spot by the sakura tree and sat down.

"When we all left, Mikan was traumatized, she would barely eat anything, she rarely went outside, she would cry over the tiniest thing, and she refused to talk except to me. She stopped going to school and she stopped doing anything she normally did. She wasn't energetic anymore, she just gave up." Yuki said sadly remembering the past.

"What do you mean she gave up? The baka gave up just because we weren't there anymore? That's not the her i knew" i said confused

"Were you not listening? She gave up EVERYTHING! Anything she normally did, smiling laughing waking up late eating playing EVERYTHING!" she stopped and she started to cry a little

"Then one day... she collapsed" Yuki said

"...Collapsed?" i asked

"She fainted, dropped there and then on the spot while i was over. She was in the hospital, she didn't wake up for a whole 3 weeks. I was so worried... i was afraid that she would never wake up again. But one day she did wake up, i was so happy until something strange happened..." Yuki explained

"What do you mean STRANGE??" i asked impatiently

"She couldn't remember anything about her parents" she paused "and...you" I felt like someone had just hit pause while i was going at 200 mph and i was tumbling over.

"She couldn't remember.. me?" i said to myself in shock

"The doctor said that his theory was she forgot about anyone that had left her that she didn't see again after they left, so she remembered me because i came back to visit, but her parents and you never came back" Yuki explained the doctor's theory

"Polka has to know..." i said suddenly

"I agree... we should tell her" Yuki said. She got up and started to walk but stopped and she gasped and dropped her bag. I looked over at what was in front of her and my eyes widened. Mikan...

"Natsume..." Mikan said and she ran towards us and did something unexpected. She hugged me. I could feel my face warming up and tried to stop it.

Mikan's P.O.V.

I can't believe what i just heard. I don't remember this at all, i remember being in the hospital but i don't remember Natsume! Ji-chan told me all about my parents, but why didn't anyone tell me about Natsume??

"Gomen Natsume... Gomen for not remembering you, hontoni gomenne" i apologized and tears were flowing out of my eyes

"Are you done apologizing yet?" Natsume said, i looked up at him, he was looking at me with caring eyes

"I could care less if you don't remember me that was my own fault, but at least now you know" Natsume said. I nodded my head, i was happy that Natsume forgave me but then i frowned

"Yuki..." i said

"Heh heh, hai?" she said

"Why didn't anyone tell me about Natsume?" i asked Yuki

"Well, we told you about your parents cause you were bound to ask where your parents were, but we decided to keep Natsume a secret, to keep you from getting hurt again" Yuki explained

"Oh.." i said, i closed my eyes and though for a second. Secrets. I thought about me being Nadeshiko and keeping it a secret from Natsume and everyone else, i thought about the missions i had been doing secret from everyone else besides hotaru, secrets like Yuki's alice, missions and yuki? Wait persona mentioned a new girl coming to our class Natsume's age.. which means it's... yuki?!?!?

"Yuki!" I shot up looking at her in shock. She gave me a nervous look

"Hai?"

"You're!" i was about to say but then i saw Yuki shaking her head nervously and indicating towards Natsume. Crap, Nadeshiko's a secret! Wait how does Yuki know i'm nadeshiko? Whatever i need a cover-up!

"She's?" Natsume asked me

"Umm, she's HERE!" I exclaimed

"No duh. You really are slow" Natsume said

"I meant! She's HERE so let's have a party!!" I said and a smile was playing on Yuki's features. She loved a good party.

"I like it!" Yuki said

"And i'll plan it!" i said, Natsume was giving us looks like we were a bunch of maniacs

"Mi-chan let's go get decorations! And plan the partyy it should be two nights from now! Yeah Natsume make sure you're there!" Yuki said dragging me away.

Once they were far away enough from Natsume...

"Mikan! That was close! You almost told Natsume you were Nadeshiko" Yuki said

"Yuki! How'd you know that i was Nadeshiko?!" i asked her

"Mi-chan, do i look like a baka to you? Once Persona told me what your alices were i knew right away it was you. He only said elemental but you can't lie to me, i was always the one who knew about your powers even before we knew they were alices!" Yuki said

"Speaking of alices, i never knew you had one Yuki-chan!" I exclaimed

"Neither did i" Yuki said

"What is it?" I asked

"Can't tell you Mi-chan!" Yuki said smiling

"Demo! Aren't i your shougai no tomo!" i complained

"still can't tell you! Anyway let's plan this party!" Yuki said skipping forward

"Eh?? We're REALLY going to have it?!?" i asked in shock

"Of course! You know what happens when you mention a party in front of me Mi-chan" Yuki said deviously. I sighed and ran forward as well. Me and my big mouth.
