I dont own Gakuen Alice. Anyways, enjoy the story.

Chapter 6

"Mommy…Daddy… Where are we going?" A little brunette girl asked as her eyes were shut tight.

"You will see soon, sweetie" Her mother said gently. "But no cheating."

"Hehehe"

"We are here. You can open your eyes now." She heard her father's voice. The girl opened her eyes and saw a big play ground with games and Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, music.

"Oh my gosh. Where is it, mommy, daddy?" She said with excitement.

"This is Central Town." Her father said. "A place where I built up with the help of Hyuuga family."

"Even N…-kun's family?"

"Yes." Her mother answered "So do you love it?"

"I love it, I love it."

"You can go play now. He is waiting for you inside."

"Really? Yay." She jumped up and down in happiness then ran inside. "I will see you later, mommy, daddy."

Reng…. Reng….Reng…

Bam.

"What a dream." Mikan thought. "I wonder what Central Town is" She sat up and stretched her arms. "Let's see, what time is it?" Mikan took her alarm clock and looked at it. 8.05 am

"WHAT? 8.05? I sleep that long?" Mikan shouted "I'm so late." She quickly got up and did her morning routine. Then she ran down to the kitchen, took a piece of bread and ran out.

"Good bye grandpa. I'll come home later." She said as she slammed the door.

"Wait, Mi-." Her grandpa tried to stop her but she had already went far away. He shook his head and smiled. "Teenager…"

"Now I wonder, why the name 'Hyuuga' appears in my dream?" Mikan thought while running with her full speed to the meeting place. The bus stop. Then suddenly, she heard someone called her name. Mikan turned around only to meet her next door neighbor.

"Good morning, Kana-san"

"Good morning to you too, Mikan" Kana smiled "So you are in a hurry. Why?"

"I u-um…"

"Hm?"

"I have a date today."

"You have a WHAT?"

"A date."

"With who?"
"With my friend."

"Boy or girl?"

"Boy"

"And you are wearing that?" Kana pointed to the things Mikan was wearing. A white T-shirt and a jean.

"I am late so I don't have time to choose my clothes."

"No…no. no. This is not okay."

"I don't see anything wrong with T-shirt and jean."

"Well, I do. And look at your hair and your face. Oh my gosh." Kana freaked out then she took Mikan's hand. "Come to my house. It's time for make-over."

"But I am late…."

"He can wait. Now, I have been waiting for so long for a day I can dress you up." Kana smirked as she dragged Mikan to her house.

"I thought you told me that a girl must be strong so no feminine clothes."

"I know but first date is very important so I'm going to make you become gorgeous."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Mikan cried in hopelessness.

At the bus stop at that time….

"Damn that Mikan. She is so late" A raven-haired lad with crimson eyes muttered under his breath as he waited patiently for the arrival of his date.

"Look at him, he is so handsome."

"Yeah. Not to say, he is like a bad boy"

"Totally my type."

"I want to be his girlfriend someday."

"I wonder who is he waiting for?"

Many squeals and murmurs were made by the girls who passed by. To say that they all had hearts in their eyes was an easy understandment. His eyes was like he was looking at something far away in the future. Plus his look and a hand on his chin. Of course, girls would definitely melt because of it. However, nobody realized Natsume was more pissed than usual because Mikan was late.. Luckily that she agreed to this date.

A/N: You all know how handsome Natsume is, right? I don't want to describe his clothes. Everything he wears will just make him more attractive. And please, don't make review like 'You should describe his clothes because it's …' or something similar to that. I just don't know what clothes he should wear. So confusing. T-T Just imagine him in black. ….Natsume in black….. Men in black.

Back to the story.

Flashback

"Go on a date with me" Natsume said seriously while looking directly into her eyes.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Can you repeat it again?" Mikan asked, still dumbfounded

"Mikan, go on a date with me. That is the thing I want."

"Bu-But…."
"And it's a order."

"But…"

"So this Sunday 8am, at the bus stop, okay?"

"But…."

"Okay. See you later."

As Natsume was already gone from her sight…"What just happens?"

"You baka" Hotaru popped out of nowhere.

"Hotaru."

"You just agree to have a date with the Natsume Hyuuga"

"What? I haven't said anything. He forced me to accept it."

"That was Natsume's trick and you fell for it. And it is your fault too. Who is the one said 'Is there anything I can give you?'. So now, on Sunday, you have a date."

"I just try to repay him for saving me."

"Yeah. And now, look what you have got yourself into…"

"Hotaru, help me." Mikan begged and cried. "You are his cousin"

"No, can't do. When Natsume said 'Okay' then you can't run away from it anymore." Hotaru said coldly as she jumped on her duck scooter "So, have a nice date." With that, Hotaru went away.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Unknown to Mikan, Natsume was hiding on a tree and listened to the conservation all this time. He heaved a sigh then jumped down, waling away from that place.

End flashback

"Of course, I have to ask Imai to help me to have this date." Natsume thought "It costs a lot but I hope it will be worth it."

"Sorry, I'm late" An angelic voice between breaths appeared as Natsume immediately turned to the source of the voice. And there she is. The one he was waiting for half an hour. The girl he accidentally broke her heart and almost disappeared from his life forever. She was standing right in front of him and looked gorgeous as ever.

"Hn. I see you are looking forward to this date, right?" Natsume smirked as he eyed her. Mikan was wearing a white sleeveless blouse and a red mini skirt. She also wore a black sandal and a purple wallet. Her face applied a light make up while her hair was let down. In other word, she looked breath-taking. (A/n: I am a girl so obviously I can describe clothes for girls. But I still no good at describing)

"You pervert." Mikan blushed "It's Kana's san fault for making me wear this."

"Whoever that is, I must be thankful for making you this gorgeous"

"Shut up, Hyuuga-san" Mikan looked away to hide her blush

"Next time, call me Natsume."

"Until I can fully trust you."

"Hn. Now go on the bus. You have many things to treat me because you make me wait." Natsume smirked

"I get it." Mikan rolled her eyes.

On the bus

Natsume was looking outside the window to see the busy street of Tokyo.

"Hey, where are you taking me to?" Mikan suddenly asked

"You will find out sooner or later." Natsume smirked while Mikan just pouted "Meanie." She turned away, not minding Natsume's stare. He remembered about yesterday's night

Flashback

Knock Knock

"Coming." He said lazily as he got up from the couch and headed to the door of his mansion. He opened it and much to his surprise, his cousin was standing there with a baka gun pointed at his face.

"Imai" He said

"Hyuuga"

"What do you want?"

"We need to talk."

"About what? I don't have-"

"About Mikan."

"…"

"…"

Out of nowhere, a woman in her 30s who looked just like Natsume (except for the hair) appeared and smiled sweetly at Hotaru.

"Hotaru, dear, welcome"

"Good evening, Auntie Kaoru"

"Come in, come in" Kaoru rushed then turned to Natsume "How can you leave your cousin outside like that?" He just rolled his eyes in irritation

"So, what do you come here for?" Kaoru asked

"I have something to say to your son."

"A-Ah, Okay. I will leave you two now."

Time skip

"Start talking, now" Natsume commanded

"Be patient, Hyuuga" Hotaru sipped her tea "I will tell you every details of Mikan's life in America, after she left you"

"…"

"While I'm telling, no interrupt."

"…"

"Mikan went to an all-girls school and I met her there. My first impression to her was she was really cheerful and a happy-go-lucky girl. She brought light to my life and I really respect her. She slowly became my best friend. However, at that time, we were all fooled by her smiling face and didn't know about her pains..."

"Wha-"

"I said no interrupt"

"That was a night when I couldn't sleep. So I went out for a jog. And under a tree, I saw her, with tears from her eyes and a picture in her hand. I came closer to her and realized that there were no life in her eyes. It was emptiness.

"Hotaru-chan?" She asked with her weak voice

"…"

"It was no use, Hotaru, I can't keep up with this fake face anymore"

"Fake?"

"Do you realize? All this time, all of my smile, they are all fake. Nothing is real." Mikan said as tears fell down silently on her cheek.

"Mikan…"

"And my life too. So miserable."

"What are you talking about, Mikan?"

"Hotaru, let me tell you the story of a girl who was rejected by the love of her life."

.

.

.

"Then she told me about the story which later, I found out it was actually the story of her life and the boy she talked about was you. Natsume Hyuuga. She was holding your picture at that time."

"Look, it is an accident-"

"I don't care, Hyuuga. You broke her heart. But that's not all. After she told me the story, she became much livelier and happier. No more mask of emotionless. I thought she would be happy without you, if she lived with me at that time…."

"…"

"But god is so cruel. Her family got into an accident…."

"WHAT?"
"I TOLD YOU TO BE SILENT."

"…"

"Her parents were gone while Mikan, who saw they died in front of her eyes, was mentally afraid and plus an injure on her head, she fainted. And when she woke up, she didn't remember anything or anyone except for her name and her age."

"Amnesia…"

"Correct. She had amnesia. I had to leave her side and went back to Japan first about 5 years ago.. And her grandfather, the only relative she has, took her back to Japan 2 months later."

"5 years ago? Why didn't I see her before?"

"Because she can't go to school. It was dangerous for her and at that time, she wasn't full healed."

"And now?"

"It seems that her memories are slowly coming back. But if all of her memories come back, she will suffer from a major headache and maybe, she will be in coma."

"Coma? Why?"

"Because the memories were all hurt and bad so she might couldn't take it. Especially when she felt lonely. That was the time she will suffer the most."

"…"

"So, do you understand, Hyuuga? About her pain and her past?"

"I know.."

"Don't do anything reckless, Hyuuga or you won't have time to regret because it will be too late." Hotaru warned as she walked out of the mansion.

"And by the way, where is my money?" Hotaru said

"Your what?"

"My money for helping you get a date with Mikan"

"Here" Natsume handed her the money.

"So where are you going to take her?"

"Central Town."

"ARE YOU NUTS? OF ALL THE PLACES, CENTRAL TOWN? Did you listen to what I said earlier?"

"Everything is going to be okay…"

"Remember, Hyuuga, if something happens to her, I will hunt you alive"

"Hn."

"And please, protect her. She is very fragile and also, a very important friend in my life"

"I get it. You don't have to worry."

End flashback

"Even though I said it but I don't know what to do." Natsume thought. Then finally, the bus arrived at the place Natsume wanted. "We are here. Get down"

"Already? Yay…" Mikan clapped her hand together. "But where are we?"

"Get down and figure it out yourself."

As Mikan walked down, she was greeted by an enormous place with games and balloons and many things else.

"Cen…tral To..wn" Mikan read the line on the gate. It was new to her but at the same time, so familiar. She was dazed for a few minutes until Natsume appeared behind her and spoke "Surprise?"

"More like amazed. Hyuuga, this place is so awesome."

"I know, right?" Natsume smirked

"Stop being so full of yourself."
"Hn."

"So can I come in?"

"Hn."

"I will take that as a yes." With that, Mikan ran inside with full speed, leaving a dumbfounded Natsume at the entrance. "She is still so hyper and energetic"

Unknown to both of them, there were two persons spying on their date.

"Imai, I told you this is not a good idea."

"Shut up, bunny boy. I have to make sure that nothing goes wrong"

"Can you believe in Natsume for once?"

"Definitely a no. Now, Nogi, you have to help me following those two"

"God, help me"

Mikan and Natsume both had a great time. They went to the merry-go-round, only Mikan rode it. Natsume ignored because it was too childish. Then they arrived at the haunted house, which Mikan became frightened and Natsume teased her. As a result, Mikan walked in bravery, however, all she did was held onto Natsume like the world was going to end. Of course, Natsume enjoyed it. Secretly.

Suddenly, Mikan spotted something on the street. Howalons.

"What are you looking at, Mikan?" Natsume asked but what he got was only a silence. He followed her gaze and saw her looking at Howalons.

"Does she remember about it?" Natsume thought as he had an idea in his mind. "Mikan" He called out for her

"Hm?"

"Can you wait here for me?"

"O-Okay."

With that, Natsume went away and minutes later, he came back with a box full of fluffy pinky things look like a cloud.

"What is that guy trying to do?" Hotaru cursed

"Now, now, Imai, no need to get serious. I know Natsume has something in his mind"

"He better not making Mikan remembers. If so, he is going to die the next day"

"What is this?" Mikan asked, feeling curious about the pinky thing in front of her

"You just stare at it while drooling, right?" Natsume smirked

"I don't drool" Mikan blushed as she covered her mouth in embarrassment.

"It's okay. Here." Natsume handed her the box "It's Howalons."

"Howalons?"

"Yes. Try it. It's very good."

"Okay" Mikan said hesitated as she looked down to the box. They were like cloud except for the pink color and their size. However, it looked delicious. Mikan glanced at Natsume who stared back at her. She heaved a sigh and took a piece to her mouth. Natsume was right. That was her first thought because the candy was so sweet and it melted inside her mouth. Somehow, a nostalgic feeling came to her as she realized she knew this flavor.

"Ne, what's that?" A girl asked the boy with raven hair right beside her

"I don't know, why don't you go and buy it?"

"Okay."

After a moment, she came back with a box full of clouds.

"So?" The boy asked

"It's called Howalons"

"Howalons?"

"Yes. Small cotton candy"

"Why don't they call it cotton candy?"

"because it is more fluffy and more delicious." The girl said as she took a piece "Here, try a bite" She handed to him

"Don't want to"

"Why?"
"Just by looking at it, I know they are very sweet. And I hate sweet."

"You should become a detective one day."

"Hn"

"But try some. It is very good."

"No."

"Please"
"No."

"Please."

"No"

"Pleasie Weasie with cherry on top…"

"You know I can't resist puppy dog eyes, right?"

"I know, so I use it"

"Fine. Just give me the smallest one." The girl beamed at him "Here" He slowly took a bite

"So?" She asked impatiently

"It was okay, I guess."

"Mou, you are no fun"

End flashback

"Mikan, what's wrong?" Natsume waved his hand in front of Mikan's face to get her sense back.

"No-Nothing wrong. Thank you for your care." Mikan asked, still wonder about what she just remembered. "What is that suppose to mean? Does that mean I have been here before? And the boy with raven hair…So oddly familiar…"

"Ne, Hyuuga…" Mikan asked

"Hn?"

"Did your family build this town?" This questiong made Natsume speechless.

"Why do you ask?"
"Because I saw your family name in some place" Mikan lied.

"I see." Natsume smiled a sad one. "You can say my family built this but not only us."

"There is still a family?"

"Yeah. A family which is very important to a person I know"

"I see. And Hyuuga, can you eat sweet?" Mikan asked. Natsume looked at her with surprise then he sighed. " No I can't because it is too girly"

"How come?"

"Because girls like sweet stuffs like chocolate with hugs and kisses…"

"Uh-huh"

"Is it really true? Is there a connection between my family and Hyuuga family? And what about my life before I lost the memories? Do I know Hyuuga? How come he resemble the boy in my dream?" Mikan thought but she can't answer all those questions. Not now. Not this time.
