I want those who are reading this to go to my profile page and read the important note I have posted up so that there wont be any comments whether I am quitting writing certain stories.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice.

Summary: He first started as the older brother figure she never had. Too bad the façade couldn't last the day he fell for his 'little sister.' She loved him as well but she had to accept that they were just too far apart.


Some students working on the RPG maze had taken a break to enjoy the attractions made by other students. Mikan changed out of her costume and went to her master who was waiting for her. Natsume, being the winner, was told to pick a genie lamp and the picture of a student in the lamp would automatically make the student his slave. Tsubasa and Misaki had stayed behind to help out with the challenges. Ruka decided to join Natsume as well with his pet bunny.

They visited all the attractions including the Technical Ability area where Hotaru was seen to be bidding her amazing inventions. Business owners from all over the world were trying to buy Hotaru's new collection of human robots that would be slaves to their biddings much to everyone's happiness. After they had had their fun in the Technical area, they left to the Latent Ability section.

"Let's go over there." Natsume pointed to a sign that said Haunted Mansion this way. Mikan and Ruka looked to the direction Natsume was pointing.

"No way are we going there!" Mikan shrieked. She tried to run away but Natsume got a hold of her braid and dragged her into the entrance of the mansion.


Special Ability Class: RPG Maze

Misaki was playing with her anniversary gift while waiting for the next contestant to appear. The fact that the gift was not given from the bottom of Tsubasa's heart made her unhappy. Sure, she liked the preset a lot but it was mainly Mikan that picked it out. Her kouhai knew her better than Tsubasa and she had known him since their elementary days. Tsubasa was getting too close to Mikan. She knew for a fact that Tsubasa could possibly have feelings for Mikan when he had asked her to go to central time with him.

He was just trying to spend more time with her. Remember, Graduation is coming up soon and he will be leaving the academy. It isn't wrong for him to want to make more memories before he leaves. She thought to herself.

Misaki wanted to believe what she had thought but couldn't. There were just too many signs that Tsubasa did not love her but loved her own trusted kouhai, their kouhai, their almost little sister. She hated it so much. It wasn't her fault for feeling insecure about her relationship with Tsubasa. Let's face it; Tsubasa just wasn't the right guy for her. She figured that out a little too late and now she had to do what was right before anyone would get hurt any longer.

She sighed and took the necklace off of her neck then proceeded to wait for the last customer in her shift…

Tsubasa was standing outside the exit of the RPG maze when Misaki had done her shift. She walked out the same exit to greet him with an awkward hug and pulled away slowly.

"Can I talk to you?" Misaki suddenly said making Tsubasa confused. He leaned against the RPG maze wall with his hands crossed over his chest.

"Yea, what's wrong?" Tsubasa asked.

Misaki hesitated before beginning to speak once again. "It's about our relationship. I feel like it's not working out between us these days."

Tsubasa's eyes widened in surprise and his face was full of concern. "I have a feeling that this conversation will not end up very good."

Misaki looked at his leaning figure sadly. "I'm not the one that you love. It's Mikan who you see as your only one."

"That isn't entirely true." Tsubasa began but Misaki cut him off.

"It is true! At first I didn't want to believe it and thought maybe I was just being delusional but now I know the truth. You love Mikan." Tears started flowing down her cheeks and tiny sobs were heard.

Tsubasa felt guilty; heartbroken was not an emotion for him since he knew that he was leading Misaki on in their relationship. He should have talked to her before it was almost graduation time. Now here Misaki was, crying. It was a surprising scene especially since she was not one to cry. He made a slow movement towards her and gave her a comforting hug.

"I'm sorry." He patted her hair softly. "I didn't want this to happen."

Misaki pulled back from the hug and wiped away her tears. Looking up at him, she grinned. "Go to her."

Tsubasa blinked twice before saying, "What?"

Misaki giggled a little and folded her hands behind her back. "I said go to her. Go to Mikan and confess to her before it's too late."

Tsubasa smirked down at her. "Yes, ma'am." He saluted and left the area.


Inside Haunted Mansion

"I am so going to sue you for this!" Mikan shouted but her words did not make an impact for Natsume only ignored while pulling her arm away. When the entrance door behind them shut close, Mikan immediately went silent. She pulled away from Natsume and crossed her arms over her chest. "I-I want to go back now." She quivered in fear.

Natsume rolled his eyes. "Ruka, come on. Apparently, she wants to be left all alone by herself." He motioned to Ruka. That got Mikan to stop her complaining and followed next to Ruka.

During the whole walk, Mikan clung on to Ruka like a homeless beggar. Her actions caught Natsume's attention and made his jealous. To him, a girlfriend is not supposed to cling on to her boyfriend's best friend. Mikan was breaking his code and it made him jealous, anger was another emotion evident on his face. Before he could retort, an old ghost woman appeared to be holding her back and asking for someone to carry her. The three teens were staring at the woman in a frozen state which stopped when the ghost went after them. They all ran as fast as they could but suddenly were separated because Ruka's bunny had jumped out of his hands and Ruka chased after it.

Mikan and Natsume were running in the same direction and ended up in a dim room full of stone faces. The two leaned against the wall panting. When they had gotten their breathing back to normal, they sat down on the hard cold floor a couple inches away from one another. Mikan was about to say something but ended up screaming when the mansion's power shut off and everything was completely dark.

"Oh' my gosh, what are we going to do? We are trapped here with no light at all!" Mikan started rocking back and forth and small pants were heard.

Natsume grunted and bent one foot up while the other rested flat on the ground. "I could always use my Alice." He suggested.

"No way am I letting you use it. Don't forget that you have the fourth type Alice. We can't risk anything." Mikan whispered. Natsume sighed to himself and rested his head on the wall.

"Fine, we can sit here alone in the dark. This is much more fun." He said with sarcasm leaking in his voice.

Mikan adjusted her position, brought her head to her bent knees. She began trying to calm herself by breathing slowly though Natsume could have been the one to help her. The breathing technique did not work for Mikan began to think of how they would never get out. She was afraid of the dark and couldn't handle people punishing her. This brought her anxiety back and she started hyperventilating.

Natsume turned his head to her breathing sounds and moved closer to her. He rested a hand on her shoulder and shook her gently. "Hey, are you okay?"

Mikan was shaking her head side to side. She took one deep breath and pulled her feet closer to her body. "N-no, I want to get out of here. It's too dark." She hoarsely said.

"I'm right here. Are you just afraid of the dark?" Natsume asked.

Mikan shook her head. "That's only part of it but please," She brought herself closer to him, "Let me out of this place. I'm so scared and I just can't take it." Sweat droplets started to form on her forehead. She closed her eyes tightly and began to tear up.


Latent Ability Area

Tsubasa had run all around the school festival areas looking for Mikan. This was the last place to find her. He began going around asking people if they had seen her, most did not know of her whereabouts. Two students were walking from an attraction and their discussion seemed serious. Tsubasa luckily was standing close by them and heard their discussion.

"Did you hear about that Haunted mansion?" The first student who was a female said.

"Yea, two people are trapped in there and the power went off." The second student who was a male said.

"I wonder how the mansion shut down though." The female student said. "Maybe it was some complications.

The male student began to laugh. "That's far from it, the elementary and middle school math teacher, Jinno, had gotten frightened so he used his Alice on accident and killed the electric power."

The female student began to laugh as well. "Who knew teachers could get so sacred. Especially since that teacher is Jinno."

Tsubasa quickly walked over to the students (note: he is still in his costume) and stood in front of them. "What two students are still in that place?" He asked.

The boy looked at the panicked Tsubasa and decided to answer him. "It's Hyuuga Natsume and that girlfriend of his." Tsubasa bowed patted the boy's shoulder and ran in the direction of the haunted mansion.

Inside Haunted Mansion

"Somebody is going to come and get us so stop crying." Natsume tried comforting Mikan. Too bad for him for he did not know of her anxiety attacks and did not understand why she was crying. Hot tears kept streaming down her pink cheeks and she kept rocking back and forth on the ground.

It was as if the doors of heaven were open because light had entered the room and beyond the light stood Hotaru, Ruka, and Tsubasa. The very concerned one (Tsubasa) ran up to Mikan and knelt down in front of her, in the process, accidently pushing Natsume away to the side. He hugged her tightly and Mikan hugged him back in the same manor, crying into his bare chest.

Hotaru and Ruka quietly entered the room. Ruka walked over to Natsume and helped him up while Hotaru walked up to Mikan with a worried look on her usually emotionless visage.

"What happened to her?" Ruka asked. Natsume simply shrugged and turned away after witnessing the two people hugging. Ruka gazed at Natsume who surprisingly looked heartbroken.

"I think we should take her to the hospital and let her rest." Hotaru commented. Tsubasa nodded, hoisted Mikan onto his back and carried her out of the Mansion. Before Natsume could leave after Ruka, Hotaru stopped him by grabbing his shoulder. Natsume looked at her with confusion. "She has anxiety attacks and they trigger when she is pressured or in very dark places."

"Since when-" Natsume started but Hotaru cut him off.

"It's time you knew this secret about her. She didn't want to be considered a freak. Not only does she have anxiety, she tends to feel sick a lot and has Insomnia. She had tried to hide this for almost three years and only told me, Tsubasa and her favorite teacher, Narumi-sensei." Hotaru explained.

"She told that Andou but didn't tell me." Natsume questioned but it sounded more like a statement.

Hotaru folded her arms in front of her. "Isn't it obvious already? She loves him, a lot. I don't understand why she had chosen you as her boyfriend but that's the truth. I'm sorry to make you hear it from me instead of her."

"I won't let him take her away from me." Natsume clenched his teeth and his palms tightened into fists. He started walking away but was stopped by Hotaru's monotonous voice.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Everyone knows this saying. If you really love her then let her go and be happy. It would be horrible of you to take that happiness away from her just so that you could be happy."

Hotaru's words entered Natsume's complicated mind and somehow made sense to him. He had to let her be happy. It would be selfish of him to keep her by his side and not with someone who really deserved her. He couldn't believe he was making the decision to let her be with him. "Fine," He said then placed his hands into his pockets. "I'm not doing this just because you told me so."

Hotaru smirked at him. "I know. Now, let's leave this place shall we?"

To be continued…
