This is the next chapter... Thanks for your reviews...

Hope you enjoy reading my story :)

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gakuen Alice

My heart is like a puzzle. You are the missing piece. Without you, I am not complete.

The door slammed open and the hotties of the school entered the classroom. The girls in the class starts screaming and swooning. Another typical day. Not.

Koko and Kitsuneme are laughing their heads off, Yuu is snickering and Natsume is smirking. While Tsubasa and Ruka are gloomy. Tsubasa has a bruise above his eye and his chin, and ruka has a bruise under his eye and his left cheek. It's not noticeable except when you look closer.

They walked to the front row where Mikan and the others are chatting. They didn't notice them so they decided to sneak on them. Tsubasa sneak behind Misaki and put his hand around her shoulder. Natsume also sneak behind Mikan and wrap his hands around her petite waist. Ruka sat beside Hotaru. The girls yelped in surprise except Hotaru, who glared at Ruka.

"What the heck are you doing?" Mikan hissed.

"I just missed you, you know," Natsume said with a teasing tone. A tint of pink is visible to Mikan's cheeks.

"W-what? Let me go," she struggled but he only tightened his hold on her.

The girls except Hotaru and Misaki, giggled at Natsume and Mikan. Misaki is trying to pry Tsabasa's hand from her shoulder.

"What do you want now? My day is so great until you came to ruin it," Misaki said angrily.

"Ouch," Tsabasa put his free hand on his chest for effect.

Misaki twitched and she elbowed Tsubasa.

"Ow!"

"You pervert! Get your hands off me!" Mikan yelled.

"I don't wanna," Natsume replied.

Mikan started to emit a dark aura around her but Natsume didn't even budge.

Meanwhile...

Mikyuu, the redhead girl, is glaring daggers at Mikan and the other girls because they got to be close to the campus hotties.

"I'm going to start on that b*tch life. I'm going to make her life miserable. Watch out Mikan Sakura," the redhead girl said.

Mitsuki, the purplehead girl, nodded along with other girls who are jealous because of the gang especially Mikan.

Narumi entered the class and the students went back to their seats.

Sakura Garden...

Mikan is humming a song while walking to the Sakura Garden. She told her friends that she's just going to stroll around to take a rest and to breathe fresh air.

She spotted a beautiful and the biggest Sakura tree in the garden. She walked to it and sit under its shade. She's still humming a song which made a crimson-eyed boy to wake up and to look at the intruder of his territory. From the brach above, he saw Mikan who's humming. He decided to continue sleeping. He put his manga on his face and close his eyes, intently listening to the brunette's voice.

Soon, Mikan's humming turn to singing, she closed her eyes.

Kimi wo suki ni natte
Dorekurai tatsu no kana?
Kimochi Fukurande
Yuku bakari de

Kimi wa kono omoi
Kidzuiteiru no kana?
Ichido mo kotoba ni wa
Shitenai kedo

"Didn't know that little girl can sing like this," Natsume thought while listening to her beautiful voice.

Yuki no Youni
Tada Shizukani
Furitsumori
Tsudzukete yuku

Hold me tight
Konna omoi nara
Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi
Shiritaku nakatta yo
I love you
Namida to maranai
Konnan ja kimi no koto
Shirazuni irebe yokatta yo

Mikan opened her eyes. "She stop singing," Natsume thought. He jumped in front of Mikan.

"Kyaaaa," she screamed, surprised.

"You're making my ears bleed! What are you doing in my spot?" he asked, staring at her.

"Eh? Who said that this is your spot then?" she asked, brows furrowed.

"Me," he simply answered.

"No, it's not. You don't even have a name here," she look for his name on the tree and found nothing.

"Tch."

"Hmph."

"Didn't know that for an idiot like you is good in singing," he said.

Her eyes widen a bit. "I'll take that as a compliment. But you're already here earlier?" she asked incredulously.

"Yeah, so?"

"But I didn't-"

"I'm sleeping on the branch up there."

"Oh."

Natsume sat beside Mikan and she cautiously put an extra space between them. She stared at him.

"You know, you kinda remind me of someone I know a long time ago," she said.

"Huh?"

"He's arrogant, a pervert, cold-hearted, and short-tempered... like you," MIkan said, still looking at him. There's a vein that popped out on Natsume's head. "This little..."

"Everyone misunderstood him because if his outer character," she continued. Natsume got confused a little. He thought, "Just like me, huh?" but he shoved it off. He finally looked at Mikan, who's still staring at him.

"But inside, I know that he's lonely. He wants to be friends with everyone but at the same time he doesn't know how to show his feelings and he's afraid to hurt them... and leave him alone again. But you know," she looked at the sky, breaking their gaze to each other, "I managed to enter his once closed heart."

"It's really the same for me years ago and until now," Natsume thought, "I wouldn't have any friends if it's not because of her. I wonder where she is now... and why does Polka's story is the same with me and my childhood friend's? This is really getting confusing."

Then the bell in the school rings, signaling the students to go back in their class now.

"Oh! It's time to go, see you later Natsume," Mikan said, getting up.

"Hn," he replied nonchalantly. He also stood up.

Mikan run to the school, leaving Natsume staring at her retreating figure. "It's impossible that my guess is true, right? I must be going crazy now. I just have to work for the bet," he thought, deciding to skip his class to take his afternoon nap.

Cafeteria...

"Guys, Narumi-sensei asked me to do something so I'll be back before the lunch break is over," Mikan said to her friends.

"Ok, Mikan-chan. Be careful and we will wait for you," Anna said.

The other girls nodded and waved at Mikan. She's walking in the hallways towards the storage room near the gym. She's humming a song while walking.

She arrived at the storage room and she turned the knob. "Why does Narumi-sensei needs the stack of papers now? Do we have an upcoming test or something. I hope not," she thought confusedly. She pushed the door and it's so dark inside. She walked a couple of steps away from the door and it slammed close.

"Oh my God! Who's there?" she shouted, panicking.

"Be quiet, Mikan-chan," a voice of a girl said behind her.

"Who are you?" Mikan asked, her voice is starting to shake. Then, there's a little flashlight lightened to her right and now she began to see who are they.

"They are the girls from my class. Uh-oh... they are the 'fan girls' of Natsume," she thought, "So it's just a trap to lure me in here, huh? The girl who told me about Narumi-sensei's orders is a part of this crap." She saw the girl holding the flashlight.

"Didn't we already warn you to stay away from the campus hotties, especially Hyuuga-sama?" Mikyuu, the redhead girl, mentioned, her voice is menacing.

"I'm the one who will decide who I want to be with. And besides, Natsume is the one who's pulling me towards himself, and not me," Mikan hissed. The girls gasped ans grew more mad when they heard Mikan called their Hyuuga-sama his first name.

"You! What did you called him?" Mitsuki, the purple haired girl, pointed an accusing finger to Mikan.

"Natsume?"

"You're not allowed to call him that!" Mikyuu snarled. She yanked Mikan's hair.

"What are you going to do with me?" Mikan yelled.

"We are just going to teach you a little and simple lesson for calling him by his first name and because you are always clinging on him," Mikyuu smiled evilly.

Mikan is furious, she didn't even want to be close with their Hyuuga-sama and she got caught into this mess.

They lead her to a big container of water by pulling her hair. Mikan want to cry but she doesn't want to just give up yet. Mikan struggles and she's trying to kick Mikyuu who is the one pulling her hair. Mikyuu only tightened her grip on her and then, she pushed her head to the container of water. Mikan is struggling and looking for a breather. Mikan is in the water for 30 seconds and Mikyuu pulled her head back.

"I think a little more so you will learn your lesson, b*tch!" Mikyuu said, gritting her teeth.

Mikan is panting heavily. Once again, she was pushed into the water. They did it to her a couple of times.

"I didn't know that transferring here is worse than hell," Mikan thought. Her breathing becoming abnormal every minute.

Cafeteria...

"Where's Mikan-chan? I thought she's going to go back before the lunch is over?" Nonoko mentioned, worry is written all over her face.

"Where's that idiot?" Hotaru thought. She's worried that maybe Mikan got into a trouble again.

"Where did she go anyways?" Ruka asked.

"She said that Narumi asked her to do something, I think getting a stack of papers in storage room...? I don't know if I remembered correctly," Misaki answered. She's also worried because she has a bad feeling about this.

"Narumi?" Natsume asked.

"Yeah," Nonoko and Anna answered in chorus.

"But Narumi has already left before lunch break because he forgot something in his house," Tsubasa told them.

The girls stared at him in horror. Hotaru, Natsume, and Misaki exchanged looks. Then, Natsume stood up and followed by the others.

"Sh*t!" Natsume muttered.

They run out from the cafeteria and start looking for Mikan.

Storage room...

Mikyuu lifted Mikan's head. She's soaking and her eyes are a bit red. Her breathing is shallow and heavier.

"What...do... you... really want... from me...?" she managed to ask between her breaths.

"I want you and your friends to stay away from the campus hotties... and this is my revenge for humiliating me in front of the whole class," Mikyuu snarled.

"I... don't ... have... any...thing to do... with that... it's all your goddamn fault!," Mikan yelled.

Mikyuu cocked her eyebrow and starts to emit a dark aura.

"And... you should... not tell me about this... because it's also not... my fault that... Natsume and the... others are getting...closer to us," Mikan continued.

"You! Oh! now i see, You're not tired, aren't cha?" Mitsuki said, smiling maliciously.

Someone punched Mikan in the gut. There's another one who hit her legs with a metal tube. She screamed and she dropped to her knees. Mitsuki smacked her head from behind and Mikan's body collapsed on the ground. Mikyuu pulled her hair again causing her to look up.

"Do you learn your lesson now? And If you and your friends don't stay away from our Hyuuga-sama and the others, you're all gonna suffer more," she threatened in a voice full of poison.

Mikan's vision began to blurry. Hot tears managed to escape from her eyes.

"Who are you... to command me? And don't... even dare to lay a finger on my friends or... I'm going to hunt you down," Mikan said between her breaths.

Mikyuu got more angry at her. She slammed her head on the cement ground, hard. She vent all her anger on her and she did it unconsciously.

"Is this gonna be the end for me? I want to see my friends and...him ... If only if I didn't even transfered at this goddamn school, my life would be easy," Mikan thought before slowly blacking out.

"Natsume," Mikan murmured softly before she totally black out.

"Oh! No! Mikyuu! What did you do?" Mitsuki shouted, scared.

"I-I-I don't know! It just happened!" Mikyuu yelled, she's shaking.

Then, they saw blood from Mikan's head, flowing on the floor. The girls panicked and they are scared. This is totally not in their plan. They just have to threatened her and beat her up but they should make sure that she's alive. Though, right now, they don't even know if she's going to die. What if they got kicked out from the school because of this? Or worse,what if she died because of them? This is really gone way too far and got out of hand.

"We...We have to go!" Mitsuki yelled. The other girls followed along her, who's running towards the door. Mikyuu just got frozen in the corner and sobbing. She didn't mean to do it, but she already done it.

"W-what have I done?" Mikyuu thought.

As if on cue, the doors in the storage room banged open. The girls are shocked by the ones who are that standing in front of them. There, a panting and furious Natsume Hyuuga, holding an armchair that he used to open the door. On his side is Ruka Nogi who's holding another armchair, panting. Hotaru Imai, Misaki Harada, and Tsubasa Andou are standing behind the two.

"Oh,no..." Mitsuki mumbled. They quickly run out from the room, leaving a frozen Mikyuu in the dark corner.

Natsume and the others quickly switched on the lights and they're shocked to see who's lying on the floor lifelessly. There's a tear that escaped from Hotaru's eyes and she quickly went to the girl who's unconscious. The others are frozen. Misaki clamped her mouth, she couldn't believe what is she seeing right now. There, their bestfriend, Mikan, lying on the floor with blood flowing on the ground.

Hotaru knelt on the floor and carefully rolled Mikan's back. Her head is bleeding badly and there's also blood from her mouth. She's also soaking wet. She has a big mark on her legs that becoming purplish.

"Oh God! What have they done to her?" Hotaru yelled angrily. Misaki found her strength to move and she quickly went to Mikan's side. Ruka and the others looked surprised by Hotaru's sudden outburst. It's the first time that she showed many emotions. Now, that proved that deep inside, Hotaru really deeply cares. They haven't notice Mikyuu yet, who's hugging her knees, because they are focused on Mikan. And yet, they can't even move. They are like rooted on the ground.

Then, there's a burst of feelings runniing to Natsume's veins. Guilt, anger, pain, hurt, scared, and other feelings that he can't even understand. He doesn't have the time to think about it now because Mikan is probably dying. He snapped out from his thoughts and he quickly rush to Mikan and lifted her carefully. He doesn't know why, but there's a feeling that he just felt. It is like he doesn't want to lose her and there's like a string that pulling them closer.

"Go call an ambulance! No! Wait! We don't have much time, let's just bring her to the hospital!" Natsume told them, sounding worried and scared.

"Natsume? Is it also part of the bet?" Ruka and Tsubasa thought. They looked puzzled because Natsume just showed his true emotions to them.

"We also have to call the others," Misaki mentioned.

They run out from the storage room and exited the school building. Misaki is calling their other friends.

"Anna-chan! Mikan is injured and we are going to the hospital," Misaki explained through the phone.

"WHAT? What happened?" Anna frantically asked.

"We don't know exactly what happened but we know that the fan girls of Hyuuga and the others are the ones who did it to Mikan," Misaki said angrily.

There's a twinge of guilt in Natsume's heart. "It's all my damn fault," Natsume thought angrily.

"I'm going to murder them," Anna hissed.

"We will going to find out what really happened but before that, you need to tell the teachers that there's an emergency so we can't continue our classes," Misaki said.

"Ok, leave it to us," Anna agreed.

"Ok, bye."

"Bye."

Misaki shut her phone and looked at Mikan who is currently in Hotaru's arms. Natsume is driving his car to the hospital. Tsubasa and Ruka are behind them, they can't fit in just one car so the two of them use Ruka's car.

"I swear that if I find out who did this to her, they're going to regret meeting me and Mikan. They're going to regret that they even born to this world," Hotaru thought. She's thinking of many ways to strangle all the fan girls of the campus hotties.

When they arrive at the hospital, Natsume quickly got out from his car and carried Mikan in bridal style. They went in to the hospital. The nurses and doctors immediately assist them because they knew who are Natsume and the others. The gang sighed in relief but they're praying that nothing else will happen to Mikan.

"Why? What is this feeling? Do I seriously like her? Oh God! If it's not about that stupid bet, my mind will not be mess up like this," Natsume thought, messing his raven hair even more. "Why do I have a feeling that I don't want to lose her... Again...?"

I really hope you like this part but the later chapters will be more good, trust me.

The song that Mikan sing is "Eternal Snow"... I just saw its lyrics in my notebook...

Anyways, I'll be really happy if you review this ;)

I'm going to update as soon as I can...

'Til next time... Sayonara...
