I do not own Gakuen Alice

Chapter 10

Rose Garden:

I then heard some shuffling behind the bushes "Who's there?"

There was no answer. I notice Permy was looking everywhere. Out of everyone in the group she was the most curious.

"Are you sure that there was somebody here other than us." Nonoko asked.

To be honest I really don't know, the rose garden was for my family and friends; so without my ID card, no one can come in.

Ruka looked around, "Maybe it was a cat."

"Maybe but never mind that, we should get going." Hotaru said as she started to leave.

We all followed but I just can't shake that uneasy feeling.

Classroom:

As we walked into the classroom, everyone starred at us.

"Why is Ruka sama with the poor girl?"

Before Ruka can retort, soft velvet voice filled the room. We all know who that voice belongs to, yet we all looked his way.

"Where have you been Ruka?" Natsume asked, but as he asked he looked my way. "Why were you with them?"

Ruka panicked but answered "They—"before he can finish someone walked in with Mr. Narumi.

"Class, I would like to introduce Mr. Persona. He will be your new instructor for your language course."

Mr. Persona has jet black hair with black onyx eyes. I must say he is quite handsome.

Everyone stood up and greeted Mr. Persona "Please to meet you."

Mr. Persona said nothing but nodded his head as in saying 'likewise'

As my friends and I walked to our seats, I feel like I had met him somewhere. Mr. Persona caught my eye and grabbed my wrist. "Have you forgotten about me already?"

I stopped and turned around; my eyes widen with shock. I know that voice anywhere and before I know it a smile appeared on my face. I went to my desk and wrote Persona a note telling him to go to the principal's office.

He looked at me and nodded his head then he excused himself; I looked at everyone in the class, their eyes filled with shock.

"Mr. Narumi, can we go with Mikan please?" Anna asked.

Narumi looked at my friends and I and replied "Sure, and don't worry I'll excuse you guys from class today."

We were about to walk out of the classroom when Permy asked. "Oh, Ruka do you want to come too?"

Ruka was taken by surprised but he smiled gently and said "Of course."

We then made our way to my uncle's office, but as we left I saw the Luna clinging to Natsume saying that I tricked Ruka, making him treating me nicely. At that very moment, I saw his eyes filled with hatred.

Principal's Office:

My uncle stood up and shook Persona's hand and said "Well, nice to see you again Rei."

Persona just smirked and said "Nice to see you too, uncle."

Ruka was just stood there gaping like a fish.

"BREATH! YOU IDIOT!" Hotaru yelled.

It worked and before we knew it, Ruka snapped out of his gaping and stuttered "Br—Bro—BROTHER?!"

"Yes you idiot he's her brother." All my friends shrieked at him.

Poor Ruka, with all that shouting and yelling, I think he'll become deaf.

Persona looked at me and asked "Why aren't you talking, Mikan?"

At once everyone went silent. They all starred at the ground and no dared to break the silence.

That's when my uncle spoke up "That's what we're here to tell you."

Ruka shyly asked my uncle "Um…I have a question…how is Mr. Persona Mikan's brother?"

"Well, Rei is adopted like Yoichi, Izumi treated Rei like his own son, and their relationship is amazing so he decides to adopt him at that time Rei was sixteen years old. A few months later, Mikan was born and Rei cared for her lot but he decided to study aboard in England."

Ruka noddedhis head but then he spoke "So wait, he's only eighteen!? And he's our language teacher?!"

I couldn't stand it anymore, I started to laugh but they can't hear me so I wrote 'Persona is really smart, he skipped a few grades so by sixteen he was in university and he graduated a few months ago' I gave the note to Ruka and his eyes widen with shock.

We spent more than five hours explaining everything to Ruka and Persona and by the time we finished Persona was hugging me saying "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I wasn't there to support you. I'm sorry that you have to go through all that. I'm sorry Mikan"

I hugged him back and patted his back trying to comfort him. He then let pushed me back a little so I can see his face; a small smile came across his face, I noticed his eyes soften and he said in the gentlest voice "Mikan, you are not stupid, or annoying; you are the strongest, kindest, smartest person I know. We may not be related by blood but when I first saw you; I knew that I cared for you and when you smiled at me I knew I was happy to have a sister like you."

Before I knew it tears streamed down my face I hugged my older brother back. I was happy to see him again.

Years passed and my life continued on the same way it has been. In a blink of an eye I graduated from elementary with my friends. And only they know my identity as Mikan Yukihara. I moved into my own mansion and to my surprise my parents let Persona live with me. I still like Natsume Hyuuga and I hope that my high school life is better than my elementary life…
