Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice / Alice Academy
Aiyen: Must I always put a disclaimer and face the reality that Natsume could never be mine? TT

It was finally another morning. Mikan smack her pig-shaped, dollar-painted clock that tried endlessly to wake her up. She growled a bit, shifting her sleeping position after which she covered her face with her thick, soft and comfy blanket. After a few seconds, 27 seconds to be exact….
"Ahh! I can't breath!" She said panting as she glared at her blanket, putting the blame on the poor inanimate object.
She pressed the button beside her bed and after a minute or so Kori ran down her door with still such grace.
"Good morning Miss. What can I do for you?" Kori approached her and stop at the edge of the bed.
"Can you please fix my bed?" She asked as she went out of her room.
She was soon walking along the corridor, well, not exactly walking. You see, their floor was automatic, with a single press of a button it would take you to whatever room you want to go. Sometimes she would use it or she would just plain walk for exercise.
She entered a gigantic door and right before her appeared 2 swimming pools and 5 Jacuzzi. Some may call the place a paradise or even heaven especially with all the imported products, but she calls it her "mini bathroom".
She was happily thinking about last night while enjoying herself in her Jacuzzi. The water was reaching up to her mouth but the evil grin on her face was clearly seen.
She slept late last night just thinking about some plans to make Natsume Hyuuga's life a living hell. She couldn't help but let out some few chuckles before she heard soft knocks from the door.
"Who is it?" She asked aloud.
"It's me Miss! Ahm, you're dad called and told you to hurry. Mr. Hyuuga is waiting for you downstairs!" Mikan took this as the signal to start her plan.
"I'm going down in a minute. I'm almost done." She said slowly as the tormented scenes of Natsume played in her mind.
She knew he was now waiting for a long time. And she purposely took her time in preparing to irritate him.
She saw him standing beside the car. He had an annoyed look on his face and she grinned evilly with the situation.
"Good morning!" She greeted him sweetly and tried to look innocent, as if in the back of her mind she wasn't imagining Natsume being run by a train, being bitten by ants until he screams in agony or being fed into a tank full of hungry sharks, with piranhas, crocodiles and swimming tigers accompanied by lions who had no dinner for some months.
"What took you so long?" He asked rudely, not even minding her bright greeting.
Mikan's jaw literally dropped a bit but she tried to compose herself again. Its official, this guy is so obnoxious, rude and mean that Mikan's patience just step over the line.
Man, her temper is boiling. Imagine, this is her first time being insulted by a stranger. Sure, she knew his name but other than she is totally clueless about him.
Plus, she is Mikan Sakura, Mi-kan Sa-ku-ra! No one ever dared talk to her that way, and she was sure he's going to pay for it.
"Get in. Or do you still want me to carry you?" He asked her as he opened the door to the driver's seat.
"Just try and I swear you won't be able to come back here." She said quietly but she made sure it was loud enough for him to hear it.

He starred at the road like he's life depended on it, well, it did. I mean, if he wouldn't focus on driving they could crash into something and probably die. That and the fact he didn't want to take a glance at the girl sitting beside her.
Although he couldn't make it out clearly, he could see at the corner of his eyes that she was starring at him like he was the freak of nature, which he wasn't! He was definitely fine, and when I say fine I mean a hottie. He was the gift to us women. Maybe that was the exact reason she was gawking at him. She's been annoying since he first met her and the way she stares at him makes him even more irritated.
"Stop looking at me like you wanna eat me or something." He said still looking on the road.
"Eat you? More like kill you!" She retorted.
"You can deny it all you want but that doesn't change the truth." He replied coolly and finally taking a second or two to glance at her who was looking straightly at him with a blank expression.
She didn't say anything. She continued starring at him. Natsume didn't mind at all, at least she was being quiet but only for a minute or so….
"So Natsume, tell me, how did you and my dad meet?" She asked. If she's going to destroy him, she must know everything about him first, including his weaknesses.
"After I graduated I became his bodyguard then yours." He replied flatly.
"So…. Care to tell me more about yourself?" As much as she hated having a conversation with him, she had to.
'Gather information, gather information' that was the only thing in her mind.
"Basically there is nothing you need to know about me other than I'm your bodyguard and you're the daughter of my boss."
"So you do get it? I thought you forgot that I'm Mikan Sakura, by the way you act it's as if we're on the same level."
"That's it? I wanna know more. I want you to tell me the juicy part about yourself." She asked him with such excitement, and don't forget to insert the word 'fake' before excitement.
"Tell me exactly what part of my life you could consider juicy." He said, he's face still straight. He is a bodyguard of course. He was trained for dangerous interrogation, well, this girl could be considered dangerous, just trust him on that.
"Ahm… I dunno." She answered. She didn't know how to say that she wanted him to tell her how she could destroy him.
She grunted, "It's really hard starting a conversation with this guy."
"Look, I know you're attempting to start a conversation, I very lousy one I might add, but I don't like you that way, I barely like you." He said, as always, with a blank expression.
She almost jumped out of the car upon hearing him. Her eyes wide open and her jaw dropped.
"Are you saying I'm asking you questions to- to get – get your attention? Listen here, ego boy, you don't like me and guess what, I don't like you either! I'm not interested in you that way, what am I saying, I'm not interested in you in any way!" She shouted on top of her lungs, her cheeks red and steam were coming out from her ears.
If you think World War 2 was terrible wait till you see World War 3. Mikan VS. Natsume. You're going down Natsume!
"Chill, I was just joking. Don't make it too obvious that I was right, o.k.? And besides I don't fight with girls, I'm more of a lover than a fighter. Got it?" And he winked at her. He was clearly amused by her, the girl who doesn't allow anyone to beat her.
"Stop winking at me. It disgusts me!" She faced the other side, looking by the mirror. She can't stand his face anymore.

Mikan arrived in school early for the very first time. She couldn't help but notice that people were starring at his bodyguard, mostly girls. Great, just great!
As much as possible she didn't want to attract attention, or have someone that attracts attention though she was used to being the center of it seeing that she was the daughter of a Sakura.
On second thought, this might be a blessing in disguise.
She turned around to face him, a small smirk creeping down her face.
"Why are you always following, are you some kind of stalker? Leave me alone!" She yelled making sure everyone could hear her.
"You hear that, she's not Sakura's boyfriend after all."
"If she doesn't want him, I sure do!"
She heard murmurs around her. And before she could ran fast she saw him being surrounded by a lot of girls.
She stopped in front of the ladies restroom and panted, hard. She had a satisfied look on her face. But when someone touched her from behind she could swear she literally jump.
"Huh!" She turned around.
"Why did you just do that?" He asked calmly.
"Because I hate you." She answered truthfully.
"That much?"
"Duh! Isn't it obvious?"
"I hate you as much but you don't see me doing anything to you."
"Ahh! Just stop following me o.k.?" She told him and walked away.
"I'm your bodyguard. That's what I do. You're the body and I'm the one who's supposed to guard you. Get it?" He said slowly, emphasizing every word as if explaining something so complex to a 3-year-old kid.
"Oh Please! What a lame excuse!" She replied and starred at him. She smiled over the thoughts squirming in her head.
"You like me!" She yelled out at him amazingly as if she discovered the eight wonder of the word.
"You like me, don't you?" She narrowed her eyes at him and smiled maliciously.
At first he was quiet, absorbing her every word and then returned the same malicious look but with a hint of amusement.
"You wish. You're not really my type Mik-Mik. You're too childish, too full of yourself, you don't know how to carry yourself, don't know what to say and when to say things, you're nois- - -…" He stopped when he notice her faint sobs.
"Oi…" He said.
"Oi… Making you stop crying isn't part of my job." He said as he leaned on the wall.
"And making me- -sob- -cry- - isn't- sob- part of your- - sob- - job either." She tried to say.
Then suddenly the bell rang and the students were racing to their classes.
"C'mon. Late is not in my vocabulary." He tried to grab her hand but she shook it off.
And she continued walking towards her classroom while being followed behind by Natsume.
"I swear. You'll regret even seeing me!" She thought angrily.
To be continued…
