Me: Yo, long time no update. Sorry for being so late in updating this fic but I've been feeling all emo-like that I want to shut myself in a corner of my room thinking of all the good times I had before growing up. Every time I think of those times, I begin to think of glittery stuff glowing all around us and I smile. Hehe, well On to the fic! I hope you enjoy. Sigh, I'm getting inspiration-less and bored now.
Natsume: Whu—?! What about me? No criticizing and stuff?! What the hell!!! (collapses)

Natsume's POV (Because this would be the 5th time I'll be using his POV… I shall imagine putting a cute little heart after his name. Okay, that's weird but I shall find out how to do it on this computer… someday.)
It was friendship at first sight. No, scratch that. It was, without a doubt, HORROR to MY eyesight.
Why did Polka have to befriend Ruka and mine's arch-nemesis? Well, mostly Ruka's but still… Couldn't she have seen the posters and pictures of us that are scattered and sold about everywhere in Tokyo and were personally photographed by that infamous blackmailer?! Uhh, the denseness of her is so annoying and fricking frustrating that it scares even me.
My scowls were then interrupted with Polka's attempt of hugging THE Imai Hotaru, who is also infamous for her extreme rules of 'No One Shall Touch The Physical (And if you can…Mental) Body of Hotaru Imai'
" Hotaru!" she used her name with such recklessness and impoliteness from two girls that just met each other, I couldn't help but sense my eyes widen when she had accomplished a task no other person had accomplished before.
Polka Dots had successfully hugged the BlackMail Queen of Tokyo.
Baka-Smack!
Until that. . . "You frustrating dolt. I said it to you just yesterday Not to touch the clothes nor me." Ah, my shoulders finally slumped with relief as I saw Polka get smacked and flung to the near-by post with the use of Imai's BakaGun.
" Wah Hotaru! I thought I can hug you just like yesterday." Polka exclaimed while rubbing her aching back. Ignoring the fact that they actually, or so it would seem so, hugged yesterday, I smirked with a statement clearly in my head.
" Serves her right, dumb Polka" Smirks.
Now to entertain to another problem. . . "Hey Imai, how the hell do you two know each other?" I snapped at the purple-eyed girl
And then, like an annoying spring that seems to be glued to me, Polka attacked me. " Natsume-baka! Don't you dare use that tone of voice to my bestest friend!" she shouted and punched my head.
Yes mommy, heh, yeah right, Like I would say that to her. "Cut it Polka Dots. Adults are talking right now so sit."
She blushed and squirmed a few centimeters away from us; poking around her index fingers due to my cruel but just punishment.
"Whatever is the problem Hyuuga-san?" Ha! as if I'll ever fall for that. I am smarter than You shall ever know, Imai Hotaru!
" You know that I know what you mean by 'the problem', Imai." I stated with frightful venom in every word that I spoke to her.
She again stared at me blankly with those two fearful and mysterious purple orbs of hers. "Is it wrong for two girls to share a bond of friendship, Hyuuga-san? Or is it that YOU want to share a very special bond with my dear friend, Mikan." A small but very significant, in fact universally significant, smile bored her pale white face.
All I could say was. . . "What the hell." . . . Is that damn woman thinking! Me and SHE! Me with Her?! I plus Polka?! Has her scientific and calculative mind finally burst and explode into ashes?! I, the hottest and most mysterious boy in Tokyo, fall into an emotionally drench love relationship like the soap operas we all see on television with her, the most unusual, idiotic, stupid and totally innocent Polka Dotted Female who lives with me at the moment?
" I hate you to bits, Imai." I snapped and turned my back on her and calling on Polka Dots to follow my lead. We were after all going to school…Until I was hit by another flying object right above my cerebral cortex.
" Who the Hell?!" I turned my gaze to the offender who, as always, was the dreaded hag of Southern district Tokyo a.k.a. Natsume's apartment building.
" Oi…" I twitched at the woman ignoring me even after hitting me with a frying pan. "Oi…" I said again and again until it started to piss me off too.
And then, I had enough. "Oi! Why the hell are you ignoring me even though you threw a direct hit onto my face? Do you know what will happen if I ever loss my superior intelligence to the likes of an utterly deranged and psycho maniac hag like you?" Man that felt nice to have said it with no regrets or thought at all.
And then, the punishment came… An evil glitter from the eyes and evil aura coming to my sense and then it was as if the world fell into lava hot hell.
CLUTCH
It was too late for me now and I knew I was a dead spirit clung to the chains of a sadistic woman never again to enter paradise because of what I said…Sigh. The only thing I felt was the silent fear of her inhumane grip on my poor beautiful locks and the searing heat of my back being burnt with the intense heat radiating from the contents of the copper pot.
"Who the HELL are YOU to treat your Landlady like that, huh?"
I turned and glowered at the evil monster at my back. I had no choice but do the unthinkable if I were to survive in this pit. " Of course not. Never you my duh—duh—dee—ear swee—eet and co—commm—passio—nate Landlady." Man! The disgusting taste of putrid lies! Lies these are all lies I tell you! "I…I was talking about Mi—Mi— Mee Polkadotted roommate. Ehe"what a disgusting taste inside my mouth. The next time I say those words again in a sentence; the saliva in my mouth will surely become acid and burn my jaw into nothingness.
Ouch.
" Tch, you're nothing but a coward." And she spit something disgusting onto the ground, acting like one of those superhero characters in western movies. Weirdo to the max… And now, turning her mood upside down, she smiled kindly to the girl who was currently sitting on the rock hard cemented floor and gave her a few whispers of advice which she nodded immediately and smiled, she also gave her a huge bento box and then glared at me for a few moments.
Was it just me or are they having a conversation regarding me in any worst case scenario and them laughing it about like some crazed baboons or something?
Sigh, I think I need a shrink to talk to…
" Hey Hyuuga!" the female barbarian called out my name and again giving me glares that could reach into the deepest premises of your heart. " Here." She said and handed me a very well written, high-vocabulary and legally written contract of some sort.
" What is this?" I asked with a cocked eyebrow trying to read it document.
She narrowed her eyes at my questionability of the paper contents. "Just sign it or else I'll quadruple your rent to me and I'll also add in the aircon you suddenly acquired recently." She smirked and I said nothing, it said:
23th January 2009
I, Hyuuga Natsume, age 15, addressed at the Southern Tokyo District Apartment Building of Ms. (hag) hereby claim all responsibilities, health/education/financial, of Ms. Mikan Sakura and shall be held liable if anything were to happen that would make her unfit and unhappy with her current situation. Not only will I pay her that same amount of happiness that was/ will be taken from her (money and time) but I will also become a personal slave to her, to the Owner of the apartment dorm I am currently living, and to her best friend, Ms. Imai Hotaru. If I so ever breach any of the contents inside this document, may I be burned of the living daylights out of me, be skewered to death by angry beavers trampled to infinity by continuous stampedes of wild elephants and not only that, but also be held liable to pay 150 billion yen to Ms. Imai Hotaru and Ms. (Landhag) separately even after death.

Signature over Printed name
I just hold my breath and gasped countless times as I tried to reread the said document over and over again. And one thought came out of those few seconds of anxiety. How the Hell did Imai get into this contract and how did they make this in just a few seconds?! HOW?!...
With a smile on her lips and a blink from her eyes, she called out to me with pleasure but inside, was the horrible grin of evil alongside a side dish of malice and…uh…evil—ness. "So, sign it already." The owner of said dormitory said.
" Huh, as if I had any other choice." I resigned to do her bidding since I saw; behind that glittering smile was a crooked grin and a frying pan waiting to whack me if I didn't sign it with ink.
" Hyuuga-san" and the other devious perpetrator continued " You can sign it with your own blood if you want. So that we will know that you aren't actually forging that name of yours. Actually it would be best in that form." Gasp, although I didn't actually think about it till the last minute, it could have been my loophole out of this! Damn you Imai and your stinking intelligence!
But luckily, I have a back-up plan that came with this. "What are you nuts? Stupid idiot, I can't believe you people would stoop to this low just to—" I had to stop from continuing my train of conversation because of their, uhm, hard faces.
It couldn't be helped. I just huffed, said what a pain it is and left before anything else would pass through those evil lips of theirs. "Oi let's go Polka Dots and…" what's an appropriate name for her… "Evil Incarnate 2."
BakaSmack!
But luckily, because of my awesome agility and reflexes, I dodged it. (Smirk)
" Oops, sorry. I forgot I only brought the gun that can only hit bakas like Mikan and not normal narcissist people like you." She remarked wait who the hell is she calling a Narcissist!
" Who the hell are you calling— narcissist!"
" Who are you calling— baka!"
What the—we said it at the same time!
I glared at her. And she stared at me. We were both pissed.
" Stop copying me—!"
" Stop copying me—!"
Damn it. We're doing it as if…as if… we were reading each other's minds! No! I don't want that! Eew, that would be too far fetched for the likes of someone as hot as me!
" Are you mocking me—?"
" Are you mocking me—?"
What the—I didn't know that she had the word 'mocking' in her vocabulary.
" I like pie—!"
" I like pie—!"
I had to do a secret sweat drop behind the viewers a.k.a. E.I.2 and The Hag because, well, as you can see my dear viewers…we both like pie. I didn't think it would stoop this low but it had to stop…we had a beginning and now it's the end of it all.
" Let's go—"
" Let's go—"
" Eh? Go where?" and she had to ask even though she copied the words right out of my mouth. Heh, I knew it! She was the copy cat not me! Man, I want to do my evil laugh right about now.
" Just go already baka. I'm already late as it is thanks to this idiot and" and I suddenly got the feeling that a snake was watching over me. "…the frog."
Gasp, another mind reader. Oh, happy day this is Natsume. Happy day. And now we went along our merry way as the hag bid adieu to her lovely little chicks named Polka and E.I. 2 but never for the poor yet devilishly handsome man named Natsume. Oh, tis' such a shame that thou hath been dropped to this level because of stupid Polka.
BakaSmack!
But I had fortunately managed to dodge it quickly during my absentmindedness. "What do you want, Imai?" Can't she see I'm just minding my own business?
" Don't you want to know what happened yesterday?" Oh, I almost forgot about that. NOT! How could I forget the hours I had to spend without having Ruka to protect me from mad women wanting to devour me? If I weren't a man, I could cry of loneliness without a friend like him. Sniff. But…I must Endure!
" Do you want me to listen to your nonchalant voice?" Ha! A nice comeback without revealing the fact that I was curious as to what they did yesterday. Eat that Evil Incarnate 2!
She didn't reply and instead faced the brunette haired girl beside me who was staring as if she had waited for that moment to arrive. Eemm…was this actually part of HER PLOT? And she actually had the brains to intake the complications of this Plan?
" That's easy Hyuuga, all I said was 'wait until he criticizes me and then start to retell what happened yesterday." I—I couldn't believe it. She actually Read my mind. How…How…perverted.
And she glared at me coldly saying what I half-expected and half-surprised to hear her say. "I know what you're thinking." It actually sent Goosebumps down my supposed to be maturing body. "Now then Mikan, could you tell dear Hyuuga-san what had occurred yesterday at Alice Academy. I know Hyuuga-san has been dying to know."
Gasp!Shock!Horror! Well, since there's nothing else to do…I'll just have to listen to her voice that tells of a tale that I believe no other person could have succeeded in doing…'The Tale of How Hotaru Becoming my F-R-I-E-N-D' (Of course that would be Polka over there)
" Hmm…Why not! Hehe, Well it started when Selena-neechan kicked Natsume out of his room…"
Enter…Flashback mode: (3rd Person View…Finally!)
" What the heck to do you think SLAM—!" and that was the sound of the door closing on it's master's face; The master being the poor Hyuuga outside the four walls of his only shelter.
The blonde haired woman then turned a happy face towards the flushed out girl Mikan. " Now then Mikan-chan!" and with a smile on her lips and a hint of her own personal evil intention in her eyes. "Let's go get you ready for a surprise!" they were off in a flash through the door that a while ago, closed off its master.
Luckily, the boy was no longer located outside the hall. Maybe he had quick feet due to the random and daily occurrences of having fangirls chasing after him. Well, at least he got something good out of all that running.
Well, during those few hours, the pair of female idiots, as Natsume would say, went to the mall to grab a quick brunch with the older one delighted to pay for them both; All the while hearing an unknown yet strangely familiar scream of male terror somewhere near the premises. Later after eating, they went shopping for clothes, mostly for the younger girl and still they kept hearing strange noises but this time, it had an added 'Damn those idiotic and stupid pair of twitty nutcracked girls' repeatedly and a single 'I miss Ruka' and yet Mikan wondered who Ruka was in the first place.
'Oh well' Mikan thought in her delight as she skipped merrily out of the doors of the large shopping mall along with her caretaker for the day. And still, never did they feel the piercing scorns of guilt and pain that the stranger who was actually someone they knew, felt.
Mikan was then lead by her caretaker through a very large and stern gate befitting a prestigious mansion. Mikan stared at the blocked letters found beside the door of the guard house.
" Ga-ku-en…Alice" she read it to herself. "That's Alice Academy in English" she exclaimed. "Wah, what a cute name like in the story book."
And she smiled as she heard her caretaker call for her to go inside a large kiddy-themed bus. "Yes!" she answered and skipped her merry way.
Inside, she stared at awe at all the shops and people found loitering about the outside windows of the kiddy-bus. She couldn't believe it felt like there was a town on its own located inside the school's premises. She delighted at the fact that she saw young kids playing with strange toys that blew up all kinds of oddities out of delight. It felt like a wonderland to her.
She even thought how she wanted that stuck up Natsume to go with her next time.
The bus stopped at the last stop nearing an Old English themed tea house. They both entered it and found it to be filled with frills and doilies. It was girly themed and so Mikan concluded that the resident was indeed of the same sex as her.
…or not.
And Mikan gasped as what came out of the kitchen door was something unexpected.
With widened olive eyes, she exclaimed. " Trans—Transvestite!"
"Eh?" and both guest and visitor went petrified at the statement.
Minutes later, they all regained their composure and resumed to what they had in planned. First off, was an introduction…
The blonde haired Man with lots of frills covering his clothes started off first. " Konnichiwa, My name is Narumi-sensei and I'm a teacher here in this institution. You must be the little girl that Selena-san was so delighted at." And when he smiled, Mikan thought, 'he must really be a transvestite'
But perishing the thought, the girl replied back with a nod. "H—hai! My name is Mikan. And thanks for the tea and sweets."
They both smiled back including Selena and thoughts of 'What a sweet girl she is' filled the atmosphere of the room occupied.
" Well Mikan-chan, you go outside and explore the premises while Selena-neechan and Narumi-sensei talk about something very important." The blonde-haired older woman said to her company and shooed her outside the frilled walls when the girl nodded an okay.
The door was closed and Mikan was free to roam, but she pondered. Where should she go? The town or explore the forest that was conveniently placed near the residence of the kind transvestite? As she pondered…
Whack!
She was flattened to the ground and scooter marks were found grazed at her back. She angrily rose from that position and glared at the person riding the goose scooter.
" Hey You! Why did you—"
And she paused at the sight of wonder before her. Dark raven locks and mysterious purple beaded eyes plastered in that white porcelain face of hers. It was enough to make Mikan interested in her.
Purple eyes narrowed at the awe-struck girl. "You're—"
Mikan blushed again and stood to greet her. "Ca—can I be your friend?" wow, what a straight question.
Before the short haired girl answered, she showed the brunette a picture from out of her pocket. "Is this you?" she asked.
" Yup!" she answered.
And with quick precission and unbeknownst delight, she agreed. "Sure." And quickly, Mikan rushed to her side and gave her a huge hug. "Yay! My first bestest friend!" she giggled like a small child and at that same moment, the door whooshed opened to a smirking Landlady.
"Mikan-chan! From now on, you are a student of this institution called Gakuen Alice"
Mikan was wide-eyed. "Eehh??!!!" and so she was shocked at the fastness of the events. And it all happened withing 24 hours. That must be world breaking.
End of Flashback Mode (Return to Natsume POV)
" And so that ends my tale of getting enrolled at Gakuen Alice. It was the most fun I've ever had." She smiled and yeah, I think I knew who that person who cried I miss Ruka was…
Those stupid idiots…
" So, what's the name you were given to be enrolled here?" of course she should have a proper name. I was placing me bets on Polka Dots as a first name. (Smirk)
" Oh that." She smiled " Selena-neechan was staring at the pink blossoms falling from the trees and she said that I was a Sakura. So my name is Mikan Sakura." She giggled. Eehh—! And I thought that it was Polka Dots. Stupid hag, ruining my dreams of humiliating that idiot.
" Hey Natsume!" I heard someone shout from the back. I turned and saw someone who was not supposed to be seen and I was surprised…
