Author's Note: It's been almost three weeks since I've last update! I finally relieved! I manage to get my data when I hack into my Nii-san's (I call my big Sis in a male suffix, sometimes it will bother her and sometime she will just shrugged it off) main computer. She knows about it and after all, it's only a test for me whether I managed to become a hacker or not.

Here I am, with my status of 'White Hat Hacker' given by my Nii-san, and cheerful as ever.

Anyways, I really appreciate to all who reviewed my stories and also help me find the solution for my problem. I really really want to Thank you guys/girls!

I also make some hint of something here...so don't missed it. Finally, the two of them will meet! Just as written in the the title.

On with the story then!

Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice.

P/S: Don't worry, I WOULD NEVER hack into your computer or anything cause well...I'm a White Hat...and we don't use our skill for stuff like that.

Chapter Nine: This Is Something That Involve The Two Of Us

'I guess I've fallen asleep again'

Natsume was lying under the Sakura tree. He stares at the evening scenery. Petals of cherry blossoms fall from the tree when the wind blew it.

Natsume caught one on his palm and stares at it. The petal reminds him of someone with the name similar to the cherry blossom.

He tries to light a fire on the tip of his finger but find it rather useless. Not even a spark ignites.

'She really did a well job concealing my Alice perfectly…'

'So the 'Last Dance' will be held in six days…Do I really need to be with somebody? How can I? Ruka is such a busy body…'

His thought was broke by a small noises coming from the bush.

"Who's that?" his voice sounds demanding.

"Show yourself"

The sound stopped and the surrounding quiet…too quiet.

A ruffle breaks the silent and a figure appears…

"Master Reo, you shouldn't take that thing to their place, not yet!"

"You guys shouldn't worry about this. I will take care of things like this by own. Beside, My Lady would not hesitate by this decision are you?"

"But My Lady, the thing is, that thing is just 6 months completing the final stage and still undergo some experimental percussion. We still haven't tested its potential"

"Don't you think this is the right time for us to find out how it really works? Besides, we don't have to use all the specific methods and wasting our time, don't we?"

"How will us…"

"Yes, I gave permission for this operation. You may take it to their place…as long as it doesn't have any contact with emotions…"

"Thank you, My Lady…"

"Don't thank me, I just simply curious about the capabilities for it…"

"Yes, I can assure you that"

Stood about ten feet in front him was a girl, dressed in full black uniform for the elementary student. She sealed her face with a cat mask similar to Natsume except that this time it was a white cat.

Her hair, there something about it that makes him felt uneasy, as if he had seen it before.

She looks about ten years old. Her hair was tied in a loose pigtails and reach passed her waist.

Natsume relaxed a bit and rested his back on the tree. He sent a glance at the girl but she seems not responding to him.

"What are you doing here? Little girl" he spoke without noticing his words until he spoke them.

'Wait, this seems awkward? Like she's someone who I know before…'

"Mikan" a whisper pull out.

The girl tilts her head towards Natsume but she remains quiet. Her mask seals her expressions.

He closed his eyes before deciding to give her an advice about leaving the place, he needed it.

"Leave if you don't have anything to do…"

"I…"

'That voice!'

With a blink of an eye, she charge at him with a saber-like sword attached to her left hand.

He sensed it and dodged the attack at eased. He jumps onto the tree branch.

'What the…she'd just attacked me'

Natsume Hyuuga might not have his Alice but that doesn't mean he can't defense himself.

He spent half of his free time training his physical fighting. He had advanced and in the same level as his formal mentor.

Both of them got into their fighting stance and watch each other with alert.

'THERE!' his voice screaming in head, telling him that this girl is really serious. She continues attacking him using her saber hand.

She tried to slash him but with his skills, Natsume only get a small slash on his shirt. Silently, he move to her back and sent a half force kick to her back. He is not going easy on the girl since her attack is dead serious.

The girl takes a few steps back, examine her wound which only a few bruises and put her right hand on it, green light glowing slightly from her it.

'Interesting, she's healing herself. So her Alice is healing, that's mean she's not really long-last in offensive battle'

Soon as she done with her wound, she stares at Natsume.

"It's…time…"

'There is it again, that voice!'

The girl with white mask changes her hands into their normal state.

She waves her hand in front her and a fire emerges which shocked Natsume.

'No way…'

The once called Black Cat was too shock to see that she was using the same Alice that he usually used.

For the long years that he have without be able to use his Alice, Natsume has been searching not only for her, the cure of his Alice blockage, but also if there's anyone in the whole database who have the same Alice as he did.

None of it returns to the result he's being hoping for.

For four years…

For four long years…

But here he is, with a girl that pops out from nowhere and showed him her Alice.

Who is she?

Come to think of it, this little brunette does resemble her in some ways.

Look close enough and you might find the resemblance and the difference.

All become a flash of blur when she starts her move…

A teenager lied on the grassy floor of the forest. He took some severe injuries, minor cuts, and a few bruises.

Blood trickled from the cut on left cheek.

A little girl is straddling him.

With a fiery saber blade in her left hand and is about to stab him.

Natsume still conscious but he was too exhausted to stand up and fight.

'Just kill me!' his voice screaming in his head.

Suddenly, the mysterious girl stands up when a voice spoke from out of nowhere.

"Is that the best you can give, Kuro Neko? It seems a little bit disappointed…I really hope to see a better performance next time we meet"

'!!!'

"Reo…" Natsume growled under his breath. Although he was unable to move freely, Natsume clutch his fist, his anger boiling.

"Aa…my cover had been blown. Well, its better to tell you why we're here", a figure show itself from the shadow.

"What is it then?!"

Reo smirked at looking to the pathetic form of the former Black Cat.

"I like you to introduce to our new experiment. She's the newest one. We better get going now, the guards are coming"

"…" the girl followed without hesitating.

"Wait!" with the remaining strength that he had inside him, Natsume got up to his feet, slowly.

"Hope we meet again, and next time, be more careful, it isn't always be good news when the black meets the white…"

"Use Transportation" Reo command and in a blink of an eye, both of them are gone.

"REO!!!"

Natsume walk out from the patient's room, he didn't like being inside there for too long.

Few minutes after both of the 'intruders' were gone, the Alice Academy guards had found a half-beaten Natsume and no sign of where Reo nor the mysterious girl disappearance. The officers had asked Natsume about the whereabouts but he tells them nothing.

Natsume was greeted by a very concern Ruka.

"Natsume, are you okay? I heard from Hotaru that you had been attack by some intruders and was put into the hospital! Did you get injur…"

"I'm fine Ruka"

"I ran here as fast as I can. I really afraid that something bad will happen"

"I'm fine and nothing happen. They just attack me so its just minor injuries"

The truth is Natsume didn't want to get Ruka get involved in this mess, typical for the flame caster to solve his own problems.

"Oh…okay then…" Ruka knows that there something more to this, but he didn't have the nerve to called it out. He knows how much his best friend would like to solve his own problem by himself.

Seeing the blond shut himself from furthering the question, Natsume spill his word of reassuring.

"Don't worry too much. I'm fine so there's nothing you have to worry about. Its just cuts" as he walked past Ruka, the teenager twisted his head to look at the fame caster when…

"You hang out with that Imai girl too much…"

And left the animal pheromone dumbfounded with blush on his face.

"You've done quite a good work for today, Reo-sama"

"Yes, yes I know. Hey, there's something wrong with that pretty doll. It seems that you didn't give her enough medicine. She began to show emotion again"

The professors were agape to hear this.

"Show emotion? But we are sure that that thing had been given enough for this test"

"Something triggered her memory. So better be more careful", said Yuka, appearing from behind them.

"So, My Lady means…"

"Yes, I can handle it. Get the lab ready for the next experiment"

"Of course" was their answer.

When all the man in the lab coat was out of sight, this only left Yuka, Reo and the 'doll'.

"The doll really needs to be brainwashed. It will be a big trouble if she started to feel" said Reo, while turning away from them.

Reo dismissed himself from them and went to do his own job.

"You can sleep in my room. Take a rest"

Yuka patted the little girl's head.

"Yes"

And she was gone.

'Who is she?'

'Why am I having these feelings…as if I know her before?'

Author's Note: Finally! Finish chapter 9! I'm so glad I could make it.

So...did you get the hint?

Or still not?

Well, this is as close as possible to the request that had been lingering in my mail box.

I'm really apologies for the fighting scene, to tell you honestly, I'm not really skilled in writing fight scene...so tell me if it's good or not. I really need to know to improve my writing.

For all of you readers, there's a question I need you to answer, I'm writing a new story but there's a slight misconfiguration that I'm having right now.

First is: there was a guy named Tono in the manga of Gakuen Alice, I need his biography really badly because the data that I have didn't hold this much information.

Second: who is Sakurano (this character only appears in the manga) and what are his Alices. (I've been told that he had more than one Alice.

Third: I'm getting too much headaches right now...(not from my sickness)...so I'm really sorry if I haven't updated any sooner.

Here's the preview for the future chapter (I can only give you the title):

Chapter Ten: Angel's With Bloody Wings - The Last Dance-

Okay! That's all for today...sorry again if the chapter is so short... Hope you like it. So, please Read and Review so I can correct my mistakes and to give me encouragement to type...I need every bit of encouragement since the next chapter is not as easy as it looks.

Bye:)
