He's my first reviewer from the last chapter - konnie (Yay you!)
For readers:
Thanks for understanding. I'm very glad that you understands my situation of having a limited time on the computer since school started. I'm sorry for the many months of late update. My studies are hectic and I can't afford to get bad grades since I just got C at algebra. My mom will wreak the computer if I get another one this school year (She can be as mad as a bull if I got bad grades.) Again, I'm very, very, very sorry for the so late update. (I just receive my report card and I got all A's except pre-algebra -figures- which is B so I'm off the hook! Yay me!)
Chi Chu:Ok! I'll pay you after this chapter for reading the 'Thanks and Notes' Hotaru.
Hotaru: You better be.
Chi Chu: (laughs nervously) Right. Anyways, you'll find out who won the fight!
Mikan: I'm sure I won!
Natsume: Not in a life time you'll win against me, Polka dots.
Chi Chu: Stop! You two didn't re--
Mikan and Natsume: Shut up!
Chi Chu: (mumbles) Looks like those two wake up at the wrong side of the each others bed.
Mikan and Natsume: What you said?!
Chi Chu: B-betsuni! You guys (other casts) are taking too long on reading the disclaimer! Read it now! Hurry!
G.A. cast: (sweat drops) Chi Chu doesn't own Gakuen Alice or it's character. Except Mamoru and Isamu.

"BAKA! STOP! YOU HAVEN'T EVEN MASTERED THAT 'ABILITY' NOR USED IT! YOU'LL MIGHT END UP ON BEING HURT BADLY!" Youichi shouted.
Too late. Mikan's left chest started to grow even more. She slightly move her hood, but not all the way. Natsume was blushing when he saw her face. He stared at her innocent hazel orbs and was stunned by her beautiful face. He never saw a such beauty in any of the girls that was in the academy. (That's because he hates them) His gaze at her was broke by the one who he is gazing upon, Mikan.
"I'm sorry if I just have known of your condition right now... but I will fight you again when you don't have anymore disadvantages so we can have a fair fight..." she whispered to him with full of caring in her voice.
Natsume was still registering what she was saying, but he heard soft breathing near him and something warm. His eyes widened as he saw his lips was locked with Mikan's. They were kissing. Then Natsume's vision became a blur and it became pitch black. Mikan also became unconcious as the light in her left chest began to glow more brightly and engulf her and Natsume.
Mikan's POV
'Huh? Where am I?' I thought. All I can see was darkness. I walked around the place, hoping it would let me somewhere other than here.
'HELLOOO! Is anyone in here?' I called out, but no one answered. As I continued on walking around, I found a mirror. I went near it. I looked at the mirror, but I didn't saw my reflection. Odd. I touched the mirror then the mirror started showing an image. It was a girl wearing an all black sundress that matches the color that's surrounding me and she looked... like me. The only difference is that she has a jet-black hair.
"Oh, it's you. It's been a long time since we met, hasn't it?"
"Yes, it has."
"You probably want to know why, huh?"
"Yes. Care to explain about it?"
"Well, the short story is guilt was eating me."
"Oh... then I can't really blame you. But please, restrain yourself and your feelings. I'm not saying that it's bad that you used your special ability because of your emotion got the best of you, but you using that special ability without control or knowing how to use it can cost your life. Our life.."
"Gomennasai."
"It's fine."
"By the way, how's everthing?"
"A little bit good. Since you used a lot of power last time, I only got a little bit power, but no worries. I already got everything under control."
"Oh, ok..."
"I have to get going now. Be more careful next time though."
"Yeah, I will. Ja..."
"Ja..." she replied to me as her image started to fade from the mirror. Then my own body started to fade away...
End of POV
Normal POV
"Hey, guys! I think Mikan is waking up!" Mamoru shouted in relief as the others in the room woke up suddenly because of his little announcement.
"Huh? She is?! Move out of the way Mamoru!" Youichi said as he pushed him out of the way.
"Meanie..." Mamoru mumbled as he cried in waterfalls.
BAM!
"WHAT?! DID I HEARD MIKAN HAS WAKE UP ALREADY?! IS SHE ALRIGHT?! DOES SHE NEED ANYTHING?! IS SHE HURTING?! IS SHE ALRIGHT--"
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
If you're thinking Hotaru is the one who fired up her newly upgraded Baka Gun, then you guessed wrong. Wanna guessed who is it? Well, if you still don't know who is it, It's Mikan herself who fired the Baka Gun.
"Shut it, Isamu. You're too loud. And you asked the same question already, idiotic assistant of mine," Mikan said who was clearly very pissed off.
"MIKAN!!" Anna and Nonoko yelled as they tackled the brunette with a big hug.
"Uh.. can't... breath... need some... air," Mikan breathed heavily.
"Ah! Gomennasai!" the two apologized at the same time and let go of her.
"No... need. It's fine now," Mikan said as she catched up to her breath. Then she started stretch her body to awake herself a little. Then she noticed something. Her clothes. It's different from the last time she wore. She gasped and her face is looking shocked. She eyed everyone in the room and it ended at Hotaru.
"Tell me that you are the one who change my clothes and no one in this room saw my face, not even the doctors and the nurses right?!" she asked in panick to Hotaru.
"Yes, and no, they didn't, not even the doctors or the nurses," the raven haired lass answered stoically.
"-sigh- Good. I thought somebody who I don't know change my clothes. That's kinda uncomfortable for me since they haven't even saw my face. It's part of the deal you know," she sighed in relief.
"Hn. You must be really ugly then to be afraid of not showing it to us," said a voice from across the room. Mikan turned her head around to see who it was. And it was none other than the Natsume Hyuuga. Mikan shook her head at the comment and said, "You, my dear, know better that I'm not ugly. You either didn't saw my face clearly or were you blinded by my beauty like every other guyswho saw me? Perhaps both, hmm?"
Hotaru smirked when she saw Natsume turned around to hide the little tinge of pink in his face. Hotaru thought that it may be fun to add more details on what she recorded during the light that engulfed the two. Ahhh... that would make the Black Cat's ego to falter abit more right now. "I agree with Mikan. I already saw her face. She isbeautiful Hyuuga."
"See, even Hotaru agrees with me!" Mikan piped up.
"And you should give her more credit," Hotaru continued, "After all, she did let you see her face and give you a kiss in the lips, isn't that right Mikan?" Mikan nodded in response. The group around them can only shouted a loud, late "Nani?!" Everyone, even Youiichi who hid his emotion very well just like Natsume and Hotaru. Youichi knows that his sister's special power can be used to a person in every way. The catch is that the person has got to be touched. Except that he didn't thought a kiss could be counted.
Ruka was gaping at Natsume and Mikan. So did everyone else. Natsume was very rednow, but only Hotaru could tell... Or not.
"Do you have a fever Natsume?" Mikan asked, seeing that Natsume looked red.
"Hn." was the only reply she got.
Click. Click. Click. Click.
Hotaru took pictures of Natsume. He tried to burned the camera, but it didn't burn. 'Fire proof,' he thought. He glared at her. She ignored him. "Nice try Hyuuga. My job is done here. You lot should probably go to the cafeteria now. It's going to close in 15 minutes. Ja." And she was gone. Silence. Mikan looked at everyone in the room.
"You guys should stop looking like fish out of water. A fly might go inside your mouth. It's very gross you know. They go to dirty stuff. Like garbage."They immediately shut their mouths. Mikan giggled. Her little gross-them-out-a-little plan worked.
"You could go and eat. The both of us are already fine. No need to worry anymore," they looked at her hesitently and added, "Really you guys, we're fine. We're gonna be out of here soon anyways, aren't we Dr. Imai?"
A guy with dark purple hair and wearing eyeglass entered the room. He is a spitting image of Hotaru if she was a boy. He is wearing a white coat which meant he is a doctor. "Sakura-san is right. Both of them are going to be discharged after their check-up. Just to be sure they will have no problems or anything. Now get out so I can finish my work already." They sweatdropped, but followed his instructions. He's the Blackmailing Queen's brother after all, he might be just as worse as her.
"Hn. I'm out of here. I feel fine so I don't need to do the stupid check-up," then Natsume stand up and walked to the window to get ready to jumped off.
"Wait!" Natsume stopped and faced the brunette. "What?"
"I won the match because you fainted first so you have to tour me around Central Town and buy me everything I want tomorrow, after school." Natsume just groaned in reply and left the medicine smelling room. Then Mikan added in a whisper, "Even though the judge decided it was a tie, anyways!"
"Do you want to take the check-up or just do what he did?" asked the irritated Imai Subaru.
"I'm fine. But please Subaru-kun, don't tell anyone of what you just discovered about Natsume's Alice. He will be in more in danger if you did."
"Don't worry Mikan. I wouldn't dream of putting anyone's life in danger, but if anyone other than me founds out..... I can't help you with it anymore. -Sigh- Anyways you can go now."
"Thank you, Subaru-kun," then Mikan left Subaru to ponder on his own thoughts.
'That family always attracts trouble. They have loads of secrets that cannot be tell or even thought of. And yet, I still don't get it of why am I not staying away from them...' Subaru thought with a sigh.
Next Day
Afternoon: Class 2-B
PRING! PRING! PRING!
"Come on, Hyuuga. I want to go to Central town right now. I wanna see what they got," Mikan whined to Natsume. Today, she's wearing a light yellow, chick hooded dress.
(A.N: He-he. She's dressed up as Piyo. LOL XD)
"Shut up, Polka Dots. You're making my ears bleed."
"Pervert. By the way, I can totally make that happen if you must know."
"Hn."
Mikan went to Hotaru's side and asked, "Wanna come with us Hotaru?"
"Sure, I need to buy supplies for my inventions, anyways. Nogi will accompany me," she answered.
"Eh?! I didn't sa-" Ruka stop what he was saying as Hotaru pulled a picture out of nowhere and shoved it in his face. He became very red. "Sure, I'll acompany Imai-san."
"Great! Are you guys gonna come too?!" Mikan exclaimed as she turned to look at Anna, Nonoko, Koko and Yuu.
"Sure!" they all said at the same time. Mikan then looked back at Natsume, who was sitting in his signature pose - feet on the dest, arms crossed, head bent backwards with a manga covering his face. Mikan strode angrily towards Natsume, put the manga away from his face (which he glared at her,) grabbed his left arm, and started dragging him with her. Everyone in the room just stared at the two. The fan girls were jealous at Mikan while the guys envied Natsume.
"Are you guys gonna come or not? The bus will leave us any minute now!"
Central Town
Natsume's POV
Stupid annoying little girl. Polka Dots went in through every stores we passed by. And always doing what she's best at -being giddy.
"Hyuuga! Treat me to that pastry shop! I wanna try the cakes over there. Let's go!" Then she dragged me away to the store she wanted and was followed by the others. Youichi and his friend insisted on coming to Central Town and Polka Dots happily said 'yes.' Now I have to treat them all at the stores she wants since if they can't afford it, she will suggest me to buy it for her and then she will give it to them. Imai just have to add that she didn't brought her money along with her and Polka Dots just have to request to buy the things Imai needed. That big sadist.
"Stop dragging me will you?! I can walk you know."
"I know, but you walk slow so stop whinning, and shut up."
"I'm n--"
"I said 'Shut up' Hyuuga."
"Hn." I can't believe this girl. She's very bossy in her very own way. Not like other girls, not that I know them much since I hate them. But she doesn't go bossy in a bitchy manner or tone. Like slut (Luna). I heard snickers behind me. I turned and glared at Koko. He's reading my mind, again. 'Say a word that relates to my thoughts or read it right now, and you'll be ashes this instant,' I threatened him in my head and he immediately stop.
We all went inside the pastry shop called Sweet Fruity Bakes. I thought it has those girly things inside the store, but I was wrong. The inside look calming with only light orange and white colors of the whole store. You could also smell different fruit scent with a little bit mixture of a mint scent. It feels very soothing in the mind. But I like the strawberry scent, it's my favorite. All of us ordered on the menu with me paying for it all.
"Oi, Polka Dots. Just pick one of the cakes and be done with it."
"You are right. I'll order one of each cake, please," she ordered the waitress who's batting her eyelash on me and Ruka. The waitress gaped at her a little but she wrote it in her pad and went to grabbed our order. I slapped my forehead at what she just did.
"I didn't mean it like that idiot! I meant that just pick one cake in the menu, not pick one of each!" I explained to her.
"Whatever. I already order it. Beside, they all looked delicious to me so I'll just probably order it like that. And don't worry, your money won't go to waste since I'll be able to eat all of it."
"Tch." Like my money hasn't gone to waste when I spent it on buying Imai's junk. But she did eat all of it and ate it like a pig that was starve for a week. Did she really came from a rich family?
"Ahh... that was soooooo good...."
"Mikan-chan, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" the pink headed girl asked (Anna)
"Me? Getting fat? Ahahahahahaha...." She continued on laughing.
"What's so funny Mikan?" the blue headed one asked (Nonoko)
"Aha...I'm sorry.... I can't help it. Many people asked that to me when they see me eat alot like this. My answer is no since I like eating good food. I couldn't really careless if I get fat with eating and lose my figure, but fortunately, even if I do eat a lot, I'm still not gonna get fat at all. My figure will still stay the same. I think the nutrition a eat goes to my hair since it looks really healthy and all. That or its on the genes from both of my family."
"Lucky! You can eat anything you like and you won't get fat at all!" both of them exclaimed, looking awe at Polka Dots.
"Hehe..."
Girls are so weird. After that conversation about weight, I paid the bills and went outside of the store. We all went our seperate ways since we all both need to buy something and its all in different direction. We're going to meet at the bus stop later. I was stuck with Polka Dots since she said that the tour is not over yet. Keh.
The two of us are just walking at the street. Polka was following me from behind. I glanced at her to see that she was sniffing something. Is she a dog?
"What are you doing, Polka?"
"I smell something.... something good... and yummy!" I want to whack this girl in the head. She just ate 15 cakes for the last 10 minutes and now she's hungry?! Is her stomach some kind of a bottomless pit or have some unknown creature that eats the food she ate or both?
"May I remind you that you just ate--" Before I know it, she was already dragging me around again. We just stopped in front of a store, an old man looking at us in suprise.
"Do you want to buy Fluff Puffs, Miss?" he asked Polka after he recovered. I think we might have given him a heart attack because of that.
"Hmm... Is that what you call that sweet stuff with delicious scent?" she asked pointing at the pink cotton candy like sweet.
"Yes, Miss." She suddenly turned around and faced me. She was tugging my sleeves like there was no tomorrow. "Natsume, Natsume! Buy me these Fluff Puffs! Please! Please! Please!!!!!" she just said my name. And I kinda like the way she was sayin- ack! What the hell am I thinking?! I looked at her face just to find that it was only an inch apart. I quickly turned around since it looked like we were kissing in someone else point of view. I don't want people thinking I'm in a relation with this baka or something like. ( Or so you thought you don't)
"Fine. Fine! Just stop tugging my sleeves." I said to make her stop.
"Yehey! Thank you, Hyuuga!" Now she said my last name.
After I bought her stupid Fluff Puffs, which is large size mind you, we both sat down near a Sakura tree. I pulled out my manga and put it on my face. We were both sitting in a comfortable silence. Nice, calm-
"Hyuuga," and she just have to ruin the perfect silence. I glared at her for doing that, but she ignore it.
"Can I just call you Natsume?" I want to say 'yes', but of course, I'm just feeling tired because of being dragged around by her.
"No."
"Mou! But your last name is mouthful!"
"My first name has one more syllable than my surname."
"Demo, I'm your friend, right?" Didn't saw that one coming. I didn't really think of her as being a friend or something to me until she asked the stupid question. Now, I have to think of it and answer the question.
"I'm not forcing you if you don't want to! I could just call you by your last name and it would be still okay for m-"
"Do whatever you want," I blurted out suddenly. I didn't know what overcome me when I heard the words 'just call you by your last name' came out of her mouth. It feels like it affected me... a lot. Weird. Polka Dots just stared at me like I was an alien from outerspace.
"Natsume," she said my name as if it was the first word she learned.
"Hn."
"Want some Fluff Puffs?"
"No."
"But its good!"
"Hn." She became quite. I glanced at her a little and saw the she looked like she was in deep thought.
"Natsume, what letter comes after 'N'?" I sweatdropped. What kind of a stupid question is that? I automatically answered, "O-"
I tasted sweet flavors inside my mouth. I glared at Polka Dots only to see that she was smiling brightly at me. I realized that I was eating Fluff Puffs that she shove into my mouth without permission.
"Got'cha!" she exclaimed to me, then she ran, no wait, skipped toward the way to the bus stop. I just looked at her moving figure. She turened around and waved at me.
"Come on, Natsume! The others might be waiting for us already!" she shouted. The girl is to loud even if she was far away from me. Imagine her being near, and I might have been deaf already. Oh, I forgot she already did that and I can't believe I'm not deaf. Yet.
I stood up and started walking in her direction.
Somewhere
Hotaru's POV
"Ohh... I'm gonna be rich!" I just got pictures of Mikan and Hyuuga sitting under the Sakura tree. Way to go Mikan. You're making me more rich with you shoving Fluff Puffs in Hyuuga's mouth!
"Umm... Isn't this illegal, Imai-san?" Bunny boy asked. Baka.
"FYI, this is called 'A way to earn a lot of Rabbits', Nogi. And this is not illegal."
"But still, its an invasion of privacy!" Why can't I find a less quite assistant than Bunny boy?
"Shut your mouth, or Hyuuga might feel our presence! And if that happens, I'll shot you with my newly upgraded Baka Gun," I hissed at him and he back off a few feet with hands clamped in his mouth. Good. I went to take more pictures of Mikan and Hyuuga, but they were already moving. I turned my head to Nogi and give him a glare. It was his fault that I didn't got more pictures. I think he's going to wet his pants. I stood and was ready to go.
"Be grateful that I took enough pictures to sell or you would have been beaten to a pulp." I walked away from our hiding spot. I heard him sighed before I took out my Baka Gun and shoot him.
Baka! Baka! Baka!
I blow the smoke coming from it and left Bunny boy cluctching in pain.
Hotaru: I won the bet. I get to keep all the money.
Cast: What?! Didn't Mikan won?!
Ruka: Yeah, but the judges decided that the duel was a tie. And Hotaru, I got the other half since I bet for the two of them also.
Hotaru: -show an embarrasing picture of Ruka- Come again?
Ruka: Y-you can keep all of the m-money.
Cast: -sigh- PLS READ N REVIEW!!! JA NE!!!
