Flashback:

"Doesn't this seem a bit too easy?" questioned the White Cat.

"Ya know, you're right. Usually the missions are, not harder really, just a little more complex. Or at least better guarded. You'd think they'd have a base like this better guarded because of all the information inside." answered Natsume, using way more than his usual amount of words.

But you know how that saying goes 'Speak of the devil, the devil does come'? Well... Just as they shrugged it off and turned to go...

Without a second notice, a hand slashed out and covered Mikan's/ the White Cat's mouth from behind.

End Flashback

Mikan's eyes widened in terror as she felt the hands, but there was nothing she could do. Natsume looked at her covered mouth for a second in surprise, then flew into action. He ran as fast as he could, which was pretty fast, to confuse the attacker and surprise him from behind.

"Let her go you dumb ass. Nobody touches my partner, wether I just met her, or even if I dislike her, or if I had known her all my life and loved her. Hear me? Let her go this minute you bastard!" He managed to say in a threatening, low (and sexy, or so it sounded to Mikan) voice before flying into action. He attempted to kick the attacker and get him out of balance quickly. But his attacker managed to dodge the kick.

"Shit, I should've done it better." Mikan thought she heard the attacker say in a strangely familiar voice. When he dodged Natsume's kick he made it, but he loosened his grip on the White Cat. She broke free completely and turned to help the Black Cat beat their aggressor.

"Damn! Stop it already! I'm not in the freaking mood to fight, and I haven't in a while! Plus, why the hell are you two trying to beat the crap out of me?" Mikan and Natsume both stared in awe at the guy who was glaring at them with a mad expression. "What? It's not like you guys have never seen me before, now is it?"

"Whaaaaat? What are you doing here?" said both the White Cat and the Black Cat at the same time.

"Wow, putting you guys together was a good idea. You two think alike sometimes. I think that's like the third time I hear you guys sayin' the same thing at the same time. Well, any ways i needed to tell you guys something. But it has to be once we're outside of this room." He put his finger on his lips to signal them to shut the hell up and then pointed at the door telling them to leave the room with him.

"You know, Persona, you could have at least given us a little warning before you scared the living shit out of us. So hurry the hell up and tell us whatever crap you had to tell us that was so urgent that you actually came to the mission place in the middle of the friggin' mission." whispered the Black Cat as soon as they were a few doors down from the room with the CD's.

"Shut up already! Didn't I tell you that I do things at my own pace, not when you tell me to do them? And if I had just appeared wouldn't one of you idiots have done something loud? Figured since you're calmer than Whitey here I'd shut her up first. See, baka, it makes sense when you think about it." responded Persona half quietly.

"Yeah whatever, you're calling me the idiot when in this room you're more of a baka then my 'partner' here. Why would you care if we made some noise when we already beat the two crappy guards outside and checked the perimeters for more, but there was none?" Mikan glared at the Black Cat through her mask at being insulted, even if he had a point.

"If I'm such a damn moron then why bother to try and save my ass back there when we thought Persona was the enemy? If I recall you were pretty heated up over such a small matter that could have been dealt with so easily." muttered a pissed off White Cat.

"Damn, did she get you good."said Persona with a small grin. "But that's what i need to talk about with you guys once we're outside about, you dumb ass. So shut up you two, so that we could hurry the hell up getting out of here!" And with that they all made it all the way outside and only one block away from the school, without incident, and, more amazingly for Mikan, without talking.

"Ok, so now that we're back I can tell you! Or at least closer... There was some information that came in after you guys went on your mission that was vital, but we didn't have it so there was no way to know beforehand. See, we were all set up to do this mission, if not we would've never even known about it. The AAO was planning this, for our deadliest weapon to go on a mission to a seemingly abandoned warehouse,"Persona took a breath and looked at them straight in the eye without a single feeling of guilt. "They didn't plan for two of our weapons, and as soon as you attacked there was a third hidden guard that went and told the others, which is why you found no one else. Oh, and they had cameras in that room with the CD's. I kinda got his message cause he was such a dumb ass that he actually used a friggin' walkie while on his way and he passed right next to the school. Dude they get dumber every single time!" (Definitely more than his usual quota of words. -_-')

"Does that mean that the entire damn mission was just a friggin' attempt to catch us, or rather, me?! Does that mean that there was no mission?" Clearly, the Black Cat was pissed off at having been sent blind on a mission that was seemingly so important, but turned out not to be.

"Nope. The CD's still had the information we needed, its just that...they put the CD's in different cases so that they never were in their own, and no one knew which was in which until you put them in a computer. It was still valid, though." Natsume seemed to relax completely.

"In other words we could've gotten the wrong disk. Well, I guess that's fine." Persona was starting to get freaked out at how calm the two were when they could have still failed the mission. Heck, they probably did!

"Wait, why are you guys so damn happy? This does not mean that it was a success."

"Not to you, but see, we just outsmarted the bad guys, right after they tried to outsmart us." Mikan was grinning as she said this, while Natsume was smirking his usual cool guy smirk, and Persona was showing no emotion but was truly freaked out.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"We got all the CD's in the building." The Black and the White Cat said together, both still smirking/grinning.

"WHAT?!"

"Yup, it was cause we weren't really looking at the labels, we were just grabbing and going. There was like 10 of them, but they were so slim! We were gonna see them outside and if they didn't seem useful throw them at the guards for fun."

"Whitey, he didn't have to know everything, only that it was a success and that's it."

"Wait, you mean to tell me that at this very moment you two, therefore Gakuen Alice, has about 10 disks all filled with possibly important data on the AAO?"

Both of them slowly nodded and opened the bag that Natsume had had stashed...somewhere and that he had taken out when they needed it. They showed Persona all the disks that were there.

"See, there was only 4 disks in the last room, which you came when we had already put them away." Mikan said helpfully, feeling completely proud with herself and her partner. It was just too bad that she couldn't tell Hotaru, or even remind Natsume. It was such a sad state of affairs that she knew who he was behind the mask but he had no idea who she was.

"Good night you two. Get some sleep, there's classes tomorrow and I definitely don't want Narumi to come breathing down my neck about the Black Cat again..." And with that Persona left with the CD's, and suddenly Mikan felt really tired.

"It was a great first mission thanks to you, Blacky. I'll never forget it. Hope we get more chances to get to know each other! Good night, Blacky, and sweet dreams.

"Yeah, whatever. Good night kitty-cat." Natsume actually felt kinda happy after a mission! He couldn't believe it. He hoped to God that tomorrow would be just as good. He turned to his rooms with a single thought going through his head. Just who was that girl behind the mask?

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Seiran...Seiran! Where are you? Why did you leave me? How could you do this to me? I thought we would be together forever...onii-san. Seiran."

That dream again.thought Mikan. She'd been having the same dream for three nights straight. It was probably an omen that something was going to happen soon. Or not. Maybe she was just desperately missing onii-san. Her big brother had been with her for so long, but then he had suddenly disappeared. She thought that if she ever saw him again, she might just not forgive him for this.

Who would leave their little sister the same night that their mother was murdered? And without even leaving a note or something to say that everything was gonna be ok. Well, she knew one person. Seiran would. As a mater of fact, he did. He'd done it to her.

Bastard, didn't you think about me and gramps? Freaking bastard... She couldn't help but think.

She looked at the alarm clock in her room. Oh shit! It's already 10:30! Oh crap. I'm gonna be late to class! How could she be so stupid as to forget to turn on her alarm?

AT HOMEROOM..

Natsume watched as Mikan came in a rush over to her seat. What was all the fuss about? She still had a minute, and it wasn't like Narumi would do anything to her. "Hey polka-dots. Are you in such a hurry to see me? Guess you couldn't help it, huh. I guess I'm just that irresistible." He smirked, and Sumire watched him from across the room with a big sigh. She wished he'd tease her like that. Yes Natsume-sama! You are just that irresistible. Didn't you know it? She thought to herself.

"Whatever, think what you want, I sincerely don't give a damn." Why the bad mood? he wondered. It sure was fun to mess with her.

"Mikan, no problems, you just started school you baka! If you have any problems on your fist week you'll have to pay me 1000 bucks, got it." Hotaru, unlike Mikan, wasn't pissed. She was just being her usual self. (sorry, you guys, but i didn't want to use rabbits...so lets stick with american money since she is in New Jersey...though I think I haven't mentioned that yet.)

"Yes, master." was Mikan's sarcastic reply. Ruka turned too Hotaru and asked her to wake him up around the ending of the first half hour of 2nd period.

"Wake yourself up, or just get a damn alarm clock."

"Why can't you just tap me on the damn shoulder and get it over with?"

Mikan and Natsume watched from their seat as the two started arguing about why Hotaru should or shouldn't wake Ruka up. Soon they were both in a heated argument of like three totally different things, and then got back to the original subject. Mikan and Natsume just sweat dropped when they did. Sumire and her possy glared at Hotaru for arguing with their beloved Ruka.

"Why can't you just stay awake?"

"What if I don't feel like it and I need someone to wake me up?"

"Fine, if you really want me to wake you up then give me $80 now and $20 when I wake you up."

"I'm not gonna pay you 100 bucks just to fuckin' tap me on the shoulder at the time that I asked you to!"

"Then I won't wake you up!"

"Fine be that way! I'll just ask Natsume to wake me up!"

"Yo, don't bring me into this. If genius here won't wake you up, then it sure as hell won't be me either."

"Fine be like that, but next time one of you needs something don't come asking for my help! What about you, Mikan? Will you wake me up please?"

"Ruka-pyon, don't worry I'll wake you up at any time you wish me to!" Cut in Sumire before Mikan got a chance to deny. Ruka said to forget it he just wasn't gonna go to sleep since they were all being so mean.

Natsume thought that today would be a pretty good day, he was already feeling more relaxed than usual. And then he heard Mikan and Hotaru's hushed conversation about going out to the mall. Crap, he thought. If they wanted to go out and got permission, especially considering that Polka-Dots was Persona's niece, the school and Persona were gonna force him and Ruka to go along. And his extra-sensitive hearing picked up when Hotaru whispered to Mikan about getting new lingerie...Maybe going with them wouldn't be so boring after all. Plus, he could help Polka-Dots pick out something sexier to wear...

"You know that to go to the mall you have to go with your partners, right?" he cut in impatiently.

"Whaaaaat? No fair, I don't wanna go with you! Can't you just pretend you're going with us then just go your own way with Ruka? That would be better!" Mikan immediately responded.

"Nope, can't do that. Ruka's tried it, somehow you always get caught. It's impossible. You are stuck with us." He lied smoothly. He smirked at her expression of doom. And he kept right on smirking at her until the group of four went to ask for permission to go. Amazingly, no one seemed to find out that it was all good-naturedly.

On the way to meet up with the girls, Ruka finally got a chance to talk to Natsume. " Why'd you say that, when you know we could get separated, that we used to always do it whenever we went out together?"

" Yeah, but they don't have to know that."

" Ok, but what's the point? I don't wanna be stuck with Imai the entire time!"

"You'll see...And who knows? You might actually have fun." Natsume said as calmly as possible. Just then Mikan and Hotaru appeared to take them to go see Narumi.

"C'mon hurry up! I wanna get this done and over with as soon as possible!" exclaimed an overly-excited Mikan. Hotaru just rolled her eyes and nodded to show her agreement.

"Oi, baka, it's not such a big deal. It's only a damn mall." muttered our raven haired hottie. Meanwhile, the blond-hottie just stood by and motioned for them to follow him to Narumi's office.

The four of them walked all the way across campus to get to Narumi's office, and when they opened the door they were surprised, so surprised they didn't move past the front door for about 20 seconds. How could such a fag have such an awesome office? What was he, like the school's favorite teacher or something?

The room was decorated in deep, rich, adult colors that contrasted so much with the contents of the room and yet seemed to have been made specifically for the, and the entire room, in turn, contrasted so much with the man that they wondered if maybe they had taken a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in another teacher's office by accident. Except that just then Narumi-sensei appeared from behind one of the bookshelves, one that looked like the room. The coloring matched the colors, but the shelves held mangas, animes,novels of every kind, and even...perverted magazines. Narumi seemed surprised to see them there, and maybe just a little bit mad, though not at them for coming in without knocking or anything, but at something bigger, and far more important...What had happened to the fag they all knew???

"What-Why are you guys here? Aren't you supposed to knock before going to go in a teacher's office? I didn't here no knock..Well whatever," all of a sudden he seemed to notice their awe at the way he was acting all of a sudden, and immediately reverted back to his old self. "So waddya guys need? Maybe a lil looooove? Huh? How 'bout it, Natsu-chan?" He seemed to have gotten hyper and loving out of nowhere. He had reverted to his gay usual self.

"Oi, Narumi why are you acting so weird?" Muttered our crimson-eyed hottie. They all looked at Narumi through narrowed eyes.

"What are you talking about? I'm not doing anything wrong! By the way, what are you guys doing here? Pretty pleasant surprise!" He answered with his usual gay grin.

"Ah, gomen-ne, Narumi-san! Yo, um, we wanted to ask you..." Mikan started,

"Oi, we're going to the mall. You need to get us a ride, since you SOBs won't let us drive yet." interrupted Natsume arrogantly. Hotaru just raised an eyebrow and told him to speak for himself. Narumi sweat-dropped at the way that his Natsu-chan had so bluntly stated, not asked, what he was going to do. He was more than a little surprised to find out that he and Ruka-pyon had actually agreed to go to the mall with Mikan and Hotaru so seemingly easily. He wondered what he had up his sleeve...

Narumi just nodded since he knew that one way or another Natsume and Ruka would find away to get what they needed, even if it meant using Ruka's alice to call forth his giant eagle to go to the mall. He called and requested that the kids be driven there was no problem with them going since the mall and everything around it was on school property, having been designed so that the kids would have something to do. Mikan thought it strange when Narumi said that it was 5 students going, even though there was only four of them.

"Why 5, when there's only 4 of us?" asked Hotaru before Mikan got a chance to even open her mouth. Strangely enough, Natsume answered.

"Because there is 4 of us going, along with a 7th grader(A/N:btw, they're about to finish 9th grade) that always goes with me and Ruka." Mikan and Hotaru wisely decided not to ask anything.

In the car, Picking up the 7th grader:

"So, Ruka, what's the 7th grader like?" Mikan asked quietly, not wanting to bother Natsume while he read his manga, or else he might do some shit like using his fire alice on her or something. And yet, he answered.

"You'll see right now." was all Natsume said, just as the door opened to let in a tall, slender boy with dark, piercing, black eyes and matching raven hair that strangely reminded Mikan of Natsume... and, of course, of Natsume cloaked in that strange, weirdly arousing, mysterious aura as the Black Cat. But even stranger was that his eyes and some of his body movements, even the way he looked so sober and wise for a kid his age, and the way he kind of lit up at the sight of the 2 elder boys, reminded her of... No way!

They reminded her of Seiran onii-san. This boy and her brother...they were so...so alike! It was impossible! He could be a replica of her onii-san the last time she'd seen him, maybe a inch or two shorter and a few other things, but otherwise...

And then the boy smiled, without noticing that the two girls were their, and hugged Natsume and Ruka in turn. But what happened whe he did smiled just stole her breath away. It was identical to Seiran-kun, which was truly impossible, because when Seiran smiled like that people could see why his name was what it was. Seiran's and this boy's eyes, they both turned from that mesmerizing black to an electrical, shockingly different, and very deep orchid blue...

-CONTINUED IN NEXT CHAPTER-

Hey,hoped you like it! I know its kinda boring, but its vital to what's gonna happen in the next chapter, which is, I hope, a very fun and funny chapter. By the way, I got Seiran from a manga that I read and I found out that it meant Blue Orchid, which is why their eyes turn from a deep black to an orchid blue color depending on their emotions. Oh, and this similarity will be very important to keep in mind for future chapters...Hope you liked it!!! Please Review (minor burns allowed =3)!!!!!!!!!!!!
