Well…this is maybe…Kinda…Sorta…really late…I really don't have an excuse…

I know that I will definitely finish this fanfiction…however I may have to cut it short…I'm literally writing with no plot…plus I haven't read Gakuen Alice in 3 years and I don't know anything that's happened so there might be some major plot holes.

I don't plan on making any more GA fics but I might start on some Hitman Reborn ones if anyone is interested XD

Thanks to everyone that reviewed.

The main plot will start this chapter so without further ado here we go!

It was around 2 months after that certain incident in the forest, and everyone was happily getting along with each other.

Mikan and her group of friends could be seen in the town centre, having fun as usual.

"Ne Ne Sasuke, do you think you can get me more howalons? I reeeeeeeaaaaallllllllly want some" Mikan pleaded.

Sasuke looked to the side, trying not to face her. Mikan pouted. She knew he was trying to avoid her. 'Sigh no choice then' she thought as she pulled his face towards her and released her super-mega-adorable-puppy-face to the max.

Sasuke froze. She knew he was weak against her puppy dog face.

'Kuso' he mentally shouted. His eyes grew wider the slightest and a pale blush began to crawl up his face. He could hear Naruto laughing his ass off in the background shouting something about how whipped he was. He scowled

He quickly took her hand and dragged her towards the nearest howalon shop. "give me 4 boxes of howalons" he growled, scaring the poor lady working in the stall. "Now" he carried on making the already scared lady scramble to get the order ready.

He sighed, dragging his hand to his face as he looked at the brunette beside him. She had a small smile on her face as she waited for her beloved howalons.

And if she sensed something, she turned her face towards him, her smile getting bigger. "Thanks Sasuke" she beamed as she tip-toed to give him a small peck on the cheeks. "I know you're trying to be a bit more tolerable to other people, especially my friends. So thank you for that. I never did get to say that did I?" she told him while swinging their arms together

Sasuke paused, looking down at her a bit before her responded "Hn". Mikan smiled. She knew it was his way of saying that it was ok.

Their order came the next second.

As they paid the poor lady, Sasuke carried the boxes and made their way towards their friends, not noticing a dark figure lurking in the shadows.

Natsume scowled, walking along the path with his hand in his pocket.

He couldn't help but think about Mikan. He knew what he did was wrong, but then again she was just one girl. He should be used to using girls. He was a well-known play boy. He could get any girl he wanted, so why did he have to use her? She wasn't the smartest, or the best-looking…well in the past. She obviously was now. Did he regret it? Maybe. Was it because she turned out like this? Maybe.

He didn't know anything anymore. Maybe in the depths of hi heart, he did feel something for her. It was too late now. She had someone else.

He paused. What was he thinking? He's Hyuuga Natsume, he doesn't give up? So what was he doing? He could get her back if he wanted to. He'd just have to show her how much better he was.

And with that a smirk grew on his face and he, now, walked more confidently back to his dorm.

It was dark when it happened. The sun was setting; a deep red colour filled the horizon when Mikan was walking home. It was a quiet evening in autumn, the leaves swirling with the wind.

Mikan was humming a simple melody. She had an awesome day full of fun stuff. She went out with her friends, had time for a date with Sasuke and had a WHOLE bunch of howalons.

She giggled to herself. She didn't think anything would have happened with a simple trip, but hey, fate works in mysterious ways.

She slowed down, a small smile gracing her face. She should even thank Natsume. Without him, she would have never left and she would have never found these amazing friends of hers.

Naruto, the one who would always cheer her up when she felt down; Neji, her stoic but kind older brother who would always be there for her; Lee whose youthfulness never failed to make her smile; Ten-Ten, Ino, Sakura and Hinata, her bestest girlfriends ever, and finally Sasuke, the cold hearted teme that she loved soo much.

She couldn't have been happier.

She skipped merrily, on her way to her dorm when she felt it. An ominous presence was heading her way. Fast. This person was stronger than her, that she knew. She messaged Sasuke and her friends via a justu she learnt from Ino.

Mikan stopped. The breeze blew her hair softly before another figure appeared before her. The figure was of average height and slight in built. She was dressed in black form fitting trousers and a black long sleeved shirt which was covered by a sleeveless hoodie which covered her face. You would tell that her hair was brown, as her long fringe hid her eyes from the world.

Her face held a scowl, sharp canines glinting in the light before she attacked.

Her slender, boot-covered foot struck quickly, aiming for her head but Mikan ducked. She raised her arm upwards to block the other foot.

Mikan stood up quickly and began a barrage of punches towards the mysterious figure, who dodged swiftly until one particular punch got her in her solar plexus. Mikan felt a wave of chakra rush to her hand.

'Ouch' Mikan thought to herself. She looked at her hand and saw smoke coming of it. A small burn was there. 'Damn, chakra burn. She must be a ninja and a dang good one too. She must have very good chakra control to do that.'

Her chances of getting out unharmed were dwindling by the minute. Mikan gritted her teeth as another kick connected to her back. She twirled out of the assailants reach and aimed a kick to her attackers' knees.

"What do you want with me?" Mikan shouted at her while still dodging her attacks

"We need you to come with us Sakura-san" the figure said. "I am assuming we will do it by force?" the voice asked further.

"I assumed you wanted me. I'm guessing that's why you attacked me in the first place" Mikan retaliated pulling a 'Duh' face. "What I want to know is why you want me" she growled

"You do not need to know that." the monotone voice continued. And with this the attacker began to attack more vigorously. Her punches were more forceful, and her kicks more lethal.

Mikan knew she was losing ground. Her stamina was never her strong point. She had to try and do something, quick. Before she could do anything, however, 2 bursts of flames flew towards her assailant.

Sasuke got up with a start. He was having a nap in his dorm room with Naruto when he got the message. He looked to where Naruto was and found him wide-eyed and awake too. Their faces were set grimly. Even if Mikan was trained, that didn't mean that she could go against just anyone. At most she was a mid-level chuunin.

Turning towards Naruto, they nodded to each other before they climbed out the window and headed towards Mikan's destination. After all, travelling via trees was the quickest way to go.

Natsume was still on his way home from his walk in town. Hand still stuffed in his pockets he puffed out a cloud of warm air. He could have worn a coat. It was pretty cold outside, but he had the fire Alice.

As he was slowly trudging his was back, he heard a shout "…why…want me…"

'It sounded a lot like Mikan' he thought, 'and she sounded like she was in trouble'. Natsume smirked. Sounds like someone can play knight in shining armour.

A/N and its done. I really don't know where this is going. I know the major plot and what's roughly gonna happen but other than that, I'm working on the fly. So give me some slack -_-

Take this as a Christmas present if you will.

Ps don't worry, I am DETERMINED to finish this…but I can't say that I will update regularly…maybe once a month or something but I can't guarantee. Just know that I will finish.

Thank you everyone for sticking with me from NeitherSaneNorInsane
