I don't own Gakuen Alice. Anyways, enjoy the story.

Chap 5

"Hotaru-chhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn" Mikan said as she hugged her best friend tight. "Baka, you just hugged me not too long ago" Hotaru said coldly

"Meanie." Mikan said as she let go of Hotaru and walked to a table. "That was the first period. Now it's lunch time."

"So how is your first day?"

"Tired." Mikan said as she laid her head on the table. "But who is Natsume anyway?" Hotaru suddenly flinched

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I always felt his stare while I was listening to the teacher." Mikan said

"Damn that Hyuuga." Hotaru thought

"So, could you please tell me who he is?" Mikan urged

"He is my cousin"

"What?"

"He. Is. My. Cousin." Hotaru said again, emphasizing every words. "Are we clear?"

"I see. You both are cold-blooded and have an emotionless face."

"I will take that as a compliment."

"So, anything else I need to know about him?"

"He is….the number 1 heart-breaker in school because he received many love letters and confessions but he never dated anyone."

"So he is that popular…But why did he say 'I'm going to make you fall in love with me again'? What did he mean by 'again' ? Have I met him before?"

"It's maybe just your imagination. You don't have to worry."

"You are right." Mikan said while eating her lunch happily, unaware of Hotaru's feeling. "If I tell you about that, about your hatred, about the incident, will you forgive him or forget about him again?" Hotaru thought as she looked at Mikan who smiled back at her. "I will tell her in the future. Not now. I just have to enjoy the moment which I have lost 5 years ago."

"Hotaru…"

"Yes, Jii-chan?"

"Is it okay if you leave Mikan?"

"I have to leave her? Why? She is my best friend and I want to support her."

"I just…I just don't want her to remember those unpleasant memories. They are so tragic"

"…"

"Please, Hotau, think about it. It is for Mikan's safe"
"Don't worry Jii-chan. I get it"

Creak

"Hotaru-chan?"

"Mikan"

"Ne, why are you crying, Hotaru?"

"Mikan, I'm sorry. But I have to go back to Japan with my parents. I can't be with you anymore."

"It's okay, Hotaru. I can take care of myself."

"Mikan…"

"Hotaru…don't worry. We will definitely meet again in the future. It is a promise."

"I will miss you, Mikan"

"I miss you too"

"Excuse me" A voice called out taking attention of both girls. As they turned around, they saw two girls. One had pink hair and the other had dark blue hair. "My name is Anna Umenomiya and her name is Nonoko Ogasawara." The girl with pink hair said "We would like to be your friend, Mikan-chan"

"U-Um…" Mikan tried to say

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you Mikan-chan right? Sorry Sakura-san…" They bowed down

"It's okay. You can call me Mikan if you want." Mikan smiled at them "By the way, can I call you Anna-chan and Nonoko-chan?"

"Yes." They said in unison

"Do you want to eat with us?" Mikan invited.
"Yes."

As they sat down, Mikan looked at them and wondered "Anna-chan, Nonoko-chan, are you twin?" They both laughed. Mikan looked puzzled for a moment. "Sorry, Mikan-chan. We get that question a lot." Anna said in her laugh.

"We are not twin. We are cousin" Nonoko finished "People often mistake us as a twin."

"Ah, so that's why."

"Ne, Mikan-chan…" Anna said

"Yes?"

"I really admire you because how you stood up against Sumire this morning."

"What?"

Flashback

"I'm going to make you fall in love with me again." Natsume said

"WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?"

Everybody shouted except for Mikan who looked at him with shock and surprised. After a moment, she regained her composure.

"What do you mean by that? I don't know you." Mikan said "So how can you make me fall in love with you?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." Natsume said. Outside, he smirked teasingly but inside, his heart was broken into pieces when he heard she said those words.

"Did you know you are the one who confessed to me when we were little? And did you know I love you too?" That was the thing Natsume wanted to say but Hotaru was emitting a killing aura behind him so he had to give up and waited for his chance. After all, Hotaru is his dearly cousin. She could kill him or sell his embarrassing pictures anytime.

"Ehem" Narumi cleared his throat. "I assume that everybody had forgotten that I was here, right?" No one dared to speak. "Go back to your seat now. Even you, Natsume-kun."

"Don't you dare to call me with that kind of honorific. I despise that. Especially when it comes from the fan girls' mouth." Natsume said coldly as he got back to his seat, placed a manga on his face and pretended to sleep. Narumi just had a tick mark on his head.

"Mikan-chan" He turned to Mikan "Please take care of Natsume from now on." He said sweetly but inside, he was laughing like a maniac. "Natsume-kun, you are not getting away this time."

Reng Reng Reng

"That's the signal of the end of the first period. I have to go now. Ja ne." Narumi said happily as he ran his full speed out of the room.

Mikan walked to her seat and sat down.

"Hello, my name is Ruka Nogi. Nice to meet you, Sakura-san" Mikan looked for the owner of the voice and saw a golden-haired boy with bunny in his hand. Mikan smiled at him.

"You can call me Mikan if you want."

"Well, sorry for Natsume" Ruka said shyly "He kinda surprised you, right?"

"It's okay, Ruka-pyon. There is no harm to this, right?"

"Ruka….pyon?"

"Hm? Oh, I call you that because of the rabbit in your hand. It's cute, isn't it?" Mikan smiled sweetly

"Y-Yes, it is nice." Ruka suddenly felt scared because of an unknown stare was sent directly at him. "Ruka-pyon, …this nickname will make me rich"

Suddenly, a mob of girls appeared in front of her.

"I have something to say…" A girl with green curly hair said. Mikan cocked her head to a side. "My name is Sumire Shouda and I'm the president of the NaRu fan club…."

"Excuse me.." Mikan raised her hand

"What?" Sumire said annoyed

"Is NaRu stand for Narumi-sensei?" Mikan clapped her hand together "Oh my gosh, so Narumi-sensei has a fan club…." Tick marks started to appear on the fan girls' head. Many students tried to hold their laughter.

"NO" Sumire shouted "NaRu stands for Natsume and Ruka…."

"Ah, so that's why." Mikan said "Thank for telling me this, Permy."

"Permy? Where did that come from?" Sumire asked

"Because your hair is perm." Mikan smiled as many snickers could be heard.

"Why, you…."

"Sumire, don't do that.." Her minions said "Okay, relax, relax. Angriness will only make you older." Sumire said as she took a deep breath. "Now, where were we? Ah, yes…." She said as she looked at Mikan

"I'm here to make sure that you have to stay away from Natsume and Ruka."

"Why do I have to?"

"Because Natsume belongs to me." Sumire said proudly. A 'Tch' could be heard near Mikan. "I think Hyuuga-san disagree with that." Mikan pointed at Natsume

"Just because he said he would make you fall in love with him doesn't mean he loves you"

"Who says anything about I love him or he loves me? I didn't even know him"

"You-" Sumire was about to punch Mikan but a sound stopped them and knocked them down

Baka Baka Baka Baka Baka Baka Baka Baka Baka

It was Hotaru's baka gun. "What are you trying to do, Shouda?" Hotaru asked coldly.

"Teaching Mikan a lesson." Sumire glared back at her.

"Never. I mean never lay your hand on Mikan or you will face hell." Hotaru warned making the fan girls shiver. "Y-Yes." They answered except for Sumire.

"Like I will listen to you." Suddenly, a hand grabbed her collar and the next thing she knew, Sumire was thrown to the corner of the classroom.

"Hotaru, how many times have I told you, I don't need protection. I'm old enough to do protect myself." Mikan dusted her hand

"I nearly forgot you are black belt in Aikido and Judo."

"That's for remind you Hotaru and…" Mikan walked to Sumire "….never ever tell me what to do, Shouda." Mikan said with a hellish voice with murderous intent. Nobody knew that a person was smirking behind his manga "She has fully grown-up, hasn't she?"

End flashback.

"Ah, you are talking about that?" Mikan said "It's okay. I learnt how to defense myself from Kana-san. She said a girl must be tough and strong."

"Who is Kana-san?"

"My next-door neighbor."

"Is she pretty?"

"Yes."

"I would like to meet her one day."

"Okay" Mikan smiled.

"Ne, do you know Natsume Hyuuga?" Mikan spilled out her drink "What?"

"Well, he said he would make you fall in love with him. So there must be some connection between you and him"

"Actually, I don't know him. But I know something."

"Huh?"
"I really hate him." Mikan declared. Anna and Nonoko looked at her with surprised while Hotaru just sighed

"Why?"

"Just because of him, I received a detention from Jinno-sensei…." Mikan trailed off.

Continue from before….

"What are you doing?" A voice called out as every eyes turned to the board. An old man with a frog on his shoulder. "What are you looking at? Get back to your seat, now." Everybody followed his order. "My name is Jinno and this year, I'm going to teach you math. In my class, no talking, no snickering, no sleeping, no playing. If you do anything, I will give you punishment. Are we clear?"

"Yes, Jinno-sensei" They shouted

Mikan was sitting in her seat, suddenly, she felt someone's stare. When she turned to her left, she saw Natsume was looking at her boringly.

"What are you looking at, Hyuuga-san?" Mikan whispered

"You" he answered nonchalantly.

"Why are you looking at me?"
"Because I like you"

"Are you nuts? I don't know you so how can you say those words?"

"Because I like it." Natsume smirked "Besides, you are the one who confessed to me-"
"WHAT?" Mikan shouted.

"You there, the new student." Jinno pointed at her.

"Y-Yes?" Mikan shuttered

"Detention." Jinno said "After school, meet me at the detention room."

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

~End~
"I hate him so much" Mikan sighed

"That's really rare…" Anna and Nonoko said

"What do you mean?"

"There is no girl in this world can resist Natsume. It is like he has a pheromone that can attract girl. Ruka, too. But Mikan, you are different. You can resist it. It is so cool."

"What about you?"

"We have someone we like already."
"Who?"

"Misaki-sensei."

"The science teacher?"
"Yes."
Those three was so busy talking that they didn't even noticed Hotaru's dark aura. "Damn that Hyuuga. I'm going to kill him later." Then she sighed " I guess this is the only way. A trip to my annoying cousin's house. How wonderful. But he has to know everything that happened to her."

"Hotaru, I want to go outside. Is it okay?" Mikan asked as Hotaru was back to life. "A-Ah, okay, Mikan. But be careful."

"I will"

"You hear that?"

"She will go outside"

"It is time for the plan to start."

"Is everybody ready?"

"Yes."

"Let's show her who is the boss of this school"

Mikan was walking around the school garden then suddenly, a hand popped pout of nowhere and pulled her into a bush.

"What the-"

"Well, well, well, who do we have here? The favorite girl of Natsume Hyuuga…" Mikan looked up only to see Permy a.k.a Sumire Shouda.

"What do you want, Permy?" Mikan glared at her.

"I want you to stay away from Natsume and Ruka or you will face your punishment" Sumire warned. Mikan looked around and realized that the fan girls have increased. She can't take all of them down by herself. But she still need to fight.

"You can't order people to do everything. Natsume doesn't belong to you. He belongs to everyone. You don't have the right to say that." Mikan shouted, hoping to get someone's attention.

"Why, you little" Sumire said as she pushed Mikan to a tree. "Who do you think you are to say like that? Natsume is mine and mine only"

"Is it you who need to think again. You are so full of yourself. Natsume is free to love, free to do anything. People love because they trust each other" Mikan pointed to Sumire and the fan girls. "While you girls love him because of his look and his money. That's all you think about"

"You-" The fan girls' face reddened because of humiliation and embarrass. "Girls, get her."

But before the girls got to Mikan, a deep voice rang out "What are you doing?" Mikan suddenly remembered of something.

Flashback

"Hey, give it back" A little girl was trying to reach her note from the hand of the girls in class.

"No, until you stay away from Natsume, I will give it back" The girls said

"I told you, Natsume and I are just friend. We don't love each other."

"Like we will believe in that." That girl smirked as she threw Mikan's note away. However, it flew right into the hand of a boy with red eyes.

"What are you doing?" He spoke

End flashback

Mikan looked up and saw a person who looked exactly like the person with red eyes who helped her.

"Nat-Natsume-sama" The fan girls shuttered.

"I said again. What are you doing?" He said dangerously

"We are…" Sumire looked down to Mikan "…helping Sakura-san with school's rules"

"Then why is she on the ground?"

"Be-Beca-Because…."

"GET. OUT. OF. HERE. NOW" Natsume said with his hellish voice. "Don't ever stay near Mikan again. If I see you with Mikan again, don't even think about seeing the sunlight again"

"Y-Yes." The girls said in fear as they ran away really quick, leaving a pissed Natsume and a dumbfounded Mikan.

"Ne, Hyuuga-san.." Mikan said

"Hn?"

"Thank you for helping me." She smiled at him. Natsume turned away to hide his blush.

"Hn."

"You don't talk much, do you?"

"Hn."

"Well, is there anything I can do to repay you? You can tell me…"

"…"

"Hyuuga-san?"

"…."

"If you don't have one, I will just-" Suddenly, a hand grabbed on to her wrist.
"Go on a date with me" Natsume said, looking directly into Mikan's eyes which got widen immediately.
