Ayane walked down the hallways. Narumi-sensei and the porters had gone off to put her stuff in her new dorm room.
She turned a corner. Her Premonition Alice caused her to realise that a certain person was about to turn the corner and thus hit her as well, so she immediately turned back the way she came.
Two seconds later she felt a familiar roasting sensation spread across her back as the infamous Natsume Hyuuga spotted her and instantly used his Fire Alice. Ayane's Nullification Alice started combatted the feeling, and the flames burning her school blouse died away.
Ayane immediately started walking, hoping Natsume didn't see a thing about her Nullification. With luck, she could hopefully pull this trick off…
Natsume bumped into the barrier and Ayane didn't get far before he cursed. Ayane heard him and smirked.
She went off again.
'Do NOT look in his eyes, Mikan. Do not look. Do not look-'
'OI!'
Ayane sighed. 'Oh dear.'
She turned around.
'Yes?'
Natsume strangely felt himself being struck dumb. He stared at the girl with short black hair, braces and a pair of thick-lensed glasses.
'Er…'
Natsume caught himself and shut his eyes. 'I did NOT just say such a lame phrase!'
'Yes, you did!' argued his mind.
Natsume rolled his eyes, which widened upon realisation that the weird girl had gone.
'Huh? Where did she go?'
His mind laughed at him. 'Since when were you interested in nerds?'
Natsume growled under his breath. 'If you weren't me…'
'Stupid Hyuuga,' taunted his mind, 'yelling at yourself...'
The crimson eyed lad cursed again and stalked off towards the Sakura Tree. He seemed to have forgotten to wonder why the weird girl was safe from his Alice.

Ayane breathed a sigh of relief as she undid the Invisibility Alice she'd used and became normal again.
'That was lucky…'
She'd been in her original position all this while, and she tried not to admit it to herself, but, well…
Hormones were super annoying.
She cursed slightly. Mikan was nearly 14, and puberty was setting in. actually she'd developed quite a bit in the chestal area… and she smirked when she thought of how Natsume would react. Hopefully he wouldn't do what he had done in her first year at Gakuen Alice during the RPG Game the Special Ability Class had done…
Mikan shuddered at the very thought. Gross!
She remembered as she saw Natsume reach the Sakura Tree.
No. Not the.
Their.
Or had it always been only his?
And never theirs?
Ayane bit her lip. Perhaps Natsume had already moved on from her? Was that possible?
She sighed. And walked off. Towards the dorms.

Hotaru Imai was very curious about something, which she made into questions in her mind.
'Question 1: Why is Amanatsu telling me the 'Baka Sensor' is beeping? Question 2: The 'Baka Sensor' works only for Mikan. Does that mean she's back? Question 3: Why is she back? She's NOT supposed to be here!'
The inventor paced around her room, thinking hard. She made up her mind and went out.
The first place she headed to was Ruka's room. Hotaru caught herself.
No, not Ruka. Not first-name basis!
Nogi.
That's right. Nogi.
Hotaru ignored her subconscious laughing again and again about the crush she had on Nogi. She walked resolutely onwards.
At the Two-Star Dormitory, Hotaru met a girl with short black hair coming through the entrance at the same time as her.
The girl stopped short.
Hotaru stared at her. Into warm, hazel eyes.
She stared back. Into cold, violet eyes.
'Mikan? Is that you?'
Ayane swore again. Not good.
'I'm sorry?'
'Don't play dumb, you baka,' said Hotaru coldly.
'What? If you'll excuse me…' Ayane feigned ignorance.
Ayane made a quick exit. Well, not quick enough. Hotaru fired the Baka Gun.
Ayane quickly dived for the nearest wall. The Baka Gun Bullets hit another wall and ricocheted to the ground. Hotaru raised her eyebrows.
'Not Mikan. My apologies.'
Hotaru went off, thinking that it was surely impossible for Mikan to evade her Baka Gun.
Ayane breathed a sigh of relief. Hotaru…
Phew. Lucky she got away from Hotaru. Ayane quickly went towards her Two-Star Room, thinking: Why was Hotaru here?

THE NEXT DAY
The class stared at the 13 year old teen staring back at them. With COLD eyes.
'Er…' said Narumi, at a loss for words.
'Ayane-chan? I'll introduce you. This is Akatsuki Ayane-chan. She's 13, is a Two Star, and her Alice-'
'Shut up.'
Narumi's eyes widened. Hurt was registered in them. 'Ayane-chan?'
Ayane ignored him while Mikan's heart hurt. She struggled to keep her composure. Staring around the class, she saw Natsume dozing under his manga as usual, and Aoi smiling, encouraging her in keeping up the act.
She also saw Koko, Anna, Nonoko, Hotaru and Ruka. And Kitsuneme, Permy, Wakako and everyone else in their class.
Ayane fought her natural personality to scream and start hugging people. She adopted an ice-cold expression that resembled Hotaru's, only a shade lighter.
Mikan's representatation of a fake personality could only go so far, after all. She may have been quiet the day before, but now she was bloody scary.
The class shuddered. Natsume felt the temperature drop. He took the manga off his face.
'Hey, you!' he yelled.
The class stared at him.
'What?' Ayane calmly asked.
'Are you the one I bumped into yesterday?'
Mikan smirked. 'No. Are you deranged? Hello. How could I have met you yesterday?'
Narumi agreed with all his heart. 'Ayane-chan is right!'
His reward was Natsume burning his frilly pink frock. Narumi screamed and ran out of the room.
Natsume turned his attention to Ayane. 'I saw you yesterday,' he stated.
'So what? Nobody's gonna believe you unless you use your Alice. I think I'll use mine then.'
Ayane waved her hand theatrically.
' 'What is wrong with this girl? I'm THE Natsume Hyuuga! How dare she speak to me like this!' ' she said. Natsume's eyes widened.
'Hey! I was thinking that! What the-'
'I have the Mind Reading Alice. So, you're Hyuuga Natsume. Whatevs. Why would I care who you are? I'm new you know. You shouldn't treat newbies like this.'
Aoi sweatdropped. Oh boy. New? Yeah right.
Ayane coolly sat down in a empty seat. Which was next to Luna. 'Hi.'
Luna said 'Hi' back. Then she said, 'You wanna be friends?'
The class gasped.
'Sure.'
The class erupted into discussion when Mikan added, 'Let's be partners too.'
Luna grinned. And they started talking about being evil people.
The class sweatdropped.

Aoi was shocked when Mikan sat with Luna. This was NOT in the plan to BEFRIEND the enemy!
Well, strictly speaking, nobody had spoken more than 10 words to Luna the entire year. It would be natural she'd grab the chance to make friends with someone she didn't know.
If that girl was truly new. Which Ayane certainly wasn't.
What was Mikan thinking?!
Aoi was very confused now. She glanced over at Mikan and Luna, who were now animatedly discussing rock bands. She sighed.
Oh dear.
She saw Hotaru also discreetly glancing at them, along with the rest of the class. She groaned.

After classes had ended for the day, Aoi cornered Mikan in the girls bathroom.
'Ayane, what're you doing!?'
Ayane sighed.
'I know, Aoi. Just… just… it's just that I think it would be good to have Luna on our side. I don't think she's THAT bad acutally. She really isn't!'
Aoi stared at her. 'You sure she won't pose problems?'
'Of coruse! And we get to be friends! Friendships are golden right?' Ayane's hazel eyes shone and for a moment she smiled and looked like Mikan again.
'Okay.' Aoi and Ayane slapped a high-five.
'To the success of the plan.'
