Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice, but I do own the plot.
Mikan turned her body around 180 degrees when she felt the sun once again began to attack her face. She was almost going back into the world of her dream when she suddenly thought of something. "Ah, school! I'm late!" she shouted. She then got up from her bed as she widened her hazel eyes.
She paused for a moment.
"Today is Saturday. No school, yeah. Better get sleep again..." she said as she laid her petite body back to her bed. She yawned, closed her eyes, and once again was about to enter the world of her dream when she suddenly thought of something. Again.
"Natsuki!" she spontaneously lifted her body up. "It's weird that I haven't heard his crying yet. Maybe I slept too soundly,"
She paused for a moment.
"Eh? Maybe I really was sleeping too soundly until I didn't realize that he had been crying all the time. I'm so stupid!" she exclaimed as she got up and ran to the crib—a sophisticated crib that you just had to click some buttons to get all the baby's necessities, such as bottles of milk, baby toys, and other things—which was made by Hotaru. Her hazel eyes grew wider when she only saw the baby blanket scattered on the floor.
"NATSUKI!"
Suddenly Becomes 'Mama'

Chapter 3: Natsuki and Natsume
The sound of crying could be heard inside a three-star room belonged to Hotaru Imai. The people who passed by might be assuming that the one who was crying was Natsuki, the baby. But now was different. They didn't know that that sound of crying was coming from the mouth of a 12-year-old girl with brunette hair, Mikan Sakura.
"Na-Natsuki ... He's gone ... He's disappeared, Hotaru! He must have been kidnapped!" cried Mikan, along with her hiccups.
She was now crying on Hotaru's lap, while behind her, Ruka was stroking her back with a full sense of sympathy. "Calm down, Sakura, Natsuki might accidentally get out of the crib and is now crawling everywhere. He must be still around here." Ruka said, intending to comfort her.
Hotaru raised an eyebrow. Her invention was never a fail, "That's impossib—"
"That's impossible!" Mikan suddenly cut her words off with a shout. "I know how great Hotaru's invention was and moreover, Natsuki is still a baby! He can't crawl yet! Besides, I was looking for him everywhere but I still couldn't find him! I'm sure Natsuki must have been kidnapped by someone who's after him!"
Hotaru just sighed, "Yes, yes, Mikan. We believe in you. Natsuki is kidnapped."
Hearing that, Mikan fell into tears. Hotaru and Ruka then shook their head. "Don't cry, Mikan. I'll help you to find Natsuki."
Mikan lifted her face up and you could see the rays of hope in her eyes. "Really, Hotaru?"
Hotaru nodded. She then stood up and looked for things that she thought would be useful to find the baby. Once ready, she turned her face to Mikan
"You told me that in the future Natsuki is being threatened so that he was sent into the past by 22-year-old you. Then there's some possibility that people who are pursuing him already knew that plan and then also went to the past. If that so, then there's no doubt that Natsuki was really kidnapped."
"Hotaru... you're great!" Mikan and Ruka shouted in unison.
"Yes, I am." she said before continuing her words. "If that possibility is indeed true, I'm sure that the kidnapping was carried out at night, when you're still sleeping. Fortunately, I putted a hidden camera in your room so that we can—"
"What?" Mikan interrupted her. "So you've been spying on me, Hotaru? I can't believe it. In whose room did you put all of your other hidden cameras?"
Hotaru rolled her eyes, "Ruka's, Anna's, Nonoko's, Iinchou's, Permy's, Koko's, Kitsu's, Mochu's, Misaki-senpai's, Tsubasa-senpai's, Baka-Tono's, Narumi-sensei's, Misaki-sensei's—"
"Okay that's enough," Ruka cut off suddenly. "That's crazy, Hotaru. But I'm glad that you didn't mention Natsume's name. At least he wouldn't be mad at this."
Mikan nodded. "Speaking of Natsume, where is he, anyway? Although we're still quarrelling, but, I—"
"Mikan," said Hotaru with her widening eyes. "You won't believe what you will see."
The brunette then turned to the direction pointed by Hotaru—a screen that showed the contents of her own room, the sleeping figure of hers, and a masked guy who came into her room and then brought Natsuki out through the window. Her eyes widened when she realized the pattern of the mask that guy was wearing—
—a Black Cat mask.
"Are you sure this will work, Hotaru?" Mikan asked as she putted a Gulliver's Candy in her mouth, causing her body to turn into a figure of 16-year-old girl. "I'm afraid it will turn like before, when we're caught in the middle of the journey."
Hotaru rolled her eyes, "I can't help. The only portal which will make all of us out of this academy without getting busted is right only in the High School division building." she also took a Gulliver's Candy which was causing her body to grow up into the 16-year-old Hotaru.
Ruka and Mikan's face just blushed simultaneously, because it was the first time they both saw the 16-year-old version of Hotaru. "Hotaru, you look beautiful!" Mikan praised, holding up her hands to hug her friend, who sadly met with punches from Baka-Gun.
"Don't touch me," she responded cruelly. "And also I'll hit you with my newest version of Baka-Gun if you both dare to swallow the candy!"
Mikan and Ruka, who had also turned into a figure of 16-year-old teenager, nodded obediently. They silently swore they didn't want nor would be a victim of the merciless newest version of her Baka-Gun.
"Let's go." Hotaru said in command.
The three finally walked into the Alice Academy High School division's building with an uncertain feeling, especially for Mikan and Ruka. Both of them were afraid if the same incident which happened several years ago—when they, along with Natsume, Tsubasa, and Tono, were sneaking into the High School Division's building for the same portal—would be repeated again. But Hotaru's glare unexpectedly was able to make them threw away those fears.
"Crap, Baka-Tono and Tsubasa-senpai are coming!" Hotaru whispered. She then pushed Mikan and Ruka away in order to hide from the long-haired guy and the star-tattooed guy. They sighed with relief after they managed to escape from the view of their seniors. Then they continued their journey.
"Why do we have to hide from Tono-senpai and Tsubasa-senpai?" Mikan asked, surprised.
"If we get caught by them, they would eventually try to join us. I don't wanna add another useless member into my group." Hotaru answered coldly.
Their next trip, fortunately, wasn't getting any resistance. Quickly they could find a portal in the keyhole of the door of the High School council room. Hotaru then rummaged through her pockets to find stuff that she needed, a Hyuuga Natsume's strand of hair.
"If we put this strand of hair into this direction controller capsule and then throw it into the portal, the portal will take us to the place where Natsume is being." she explained as she did what she had just said.
"Are you guys ready?" Hotaru asked, turning her face to her friends. While holding each other hands, they both nodded and immediately sucked into the portal.
Somewhere, there was an all-white room where there were only one vent, one table, and one sofa in it. The room was completely closed and isolated from the outside world. On the sofa sat a 12-year-old boy who was holding a baby. From behind his Black Cat mask, he stared at the baby who was also staring back at him.
He lamented about how he really didn't want to do this, and how he was hoping that this was only a dream and when he woke up, everything would be back to normal.
"Good job, Black Cat." said a voice which destroyed his hopes. The Black Cat turned towards the source of the sound, and he found a man in half-length white mask was smiling cynically at him.
"Hn." was just his cold response. The Black Cat then was so shocked when the man came up to him and grabbed the baby roughly. "What the hell are you—"
"Fufufu," a grin formed from the mouth of the man. "So this is the baby whom they called 'a special'. I wonder what is so 'special' of him that makes those people from the future want him so bad."
Although being hidden behind a mask, you could tell that the Black Cat's eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean—"
"This baby's eyes color is really disgusting, just like his father." the white-masked man then smirked and turned to the Black Cat, handing the baby back to him. "You stay here and keep the baby until those people from the future are coming."
While holding the baby, he rolled his face, feeling annoyed.
"You do know what would happen to the father and sister of yours if you didn't carry out my orders, don't you?"
In his mind, the Black Cat cursed the man in front of him. The man's smirk grew wider, and then, just before he disappeared he said something to the fire caster.
"Your eyes color is indeed very disgusting, Natsume."
To be continued
Author's Note: This chapter is short. Again. The adventure starts from this chapter and will going on 3 chapters only (including this one). I hope you like it. These days, I'm feeling annoyed because the chapter 128 of Gakuen Alice manga doesn't come out. For God's sake, I've waited for more than a month already! I also can't find the RAW version. Seriously, what's happening with the scanlators? I am so sorry if my words offended you so much. I am not intending to do that, sorry.
Please do REVIEW and stay tuned for chapter 4! Thank you all.
Author's Note: This chapter is short. I think this fic is getting serious right now. It will be more serious in next chapters because I'm gonna add some adventure in this fic. Like Takagi from Bakuman had said that gags story doesn't really suit me at all. For more information about this fic, Mikan and Natsume are NOT dating but Natsume surely has a feeling for Mikan. One-sided love I mean.
Here is short summary for chapter 3:
When morning sun greeted Mikan happily, she finds something that almost makes her faint. Natsuki's gone. She can't find him even though she's already searching for him anywhere. What's happening to Natsuki last night when Mikan was sleeping? Does his disappearance have something with Natsume's mission?
