To Protect the Ones I truly Care About

Chapter 1: The Mission

Normal P.O.V

It was a hot and bright sunny morning. Ten-year-old Mikan has, yet again late to class due to waking up late. As Mikan was getting ready for her classes, while on the way, she soon bumps into a raven-colored hair boy.

Almost about to slip and fall the raven-colored hair boy soon grabs a hold onto her wrist. Soon realizing that she didn't fall she looks up soon finding that the raven-colored hair boy was none other then Natsume.

They were both still staring at each other, and holding on.

"I never knew polka-dots hands were that soft" thought Natsume. But before Mikan could yell at him, he let go of her hand making her fall backwards.

"Polka-dots I see, don't you ever change your underwear..?" said Natsume coolly.

"YOU PERVERT!!" screamed Mikan

As she sped passed him she could have sworn she saw a smile on his face but she ignored it "Can't be…Natsume never smiles, oh well" thought Mikan.

"Heh…she just never changes does she?" he asked himself with a small smile on his face.

Arrived at the Classroom entrance.

"Gomen-no-sai Sensei!" pleaded Mikan. And unfortunately for her the teacher was Jinno Sensei. While Jinno Sensei was yelling at Mikan, Natsume just snuck into the back of the room.

"Natsume where have you been?" questioned Ruka. "Nowhere" replied Natsume.

"TAKE YOUR SEAT NOW MS. SAKURA" roared Jinno sensei.

As soon as Mikan was about to take a seat, the P.A system turned on. "Mikan Sakura of Class 2B please come to the headmaster's room. REPEAT, Mikan Sakura of class 2B please come to the headmasters room, thank-you."

Confused, Mikan asked the teacher to excuse her as she left the classroom. Everyone from class 2B was puzzled of the fact on why Mikan had to go to the headmaster's office.

"Quit your talking and listen up everyone, Mr. Tobita, please read paragraph nine" retorted Jinno Sensei.

"HAI" replied the Yuu

Mikan's P.O.V

"I wonder what I did now." I thought. As I was walking down the hall to make a right turn, I quickly stopped. I notice Narumi-Sensei talking to Persona.

"PERSONA!!" I screamed in my head, "OTOU-SAN," I was so worried for my Otou-san that I screamed in my head twice as loud than before as I watched my Otou-san complaining and now yelling at Persona.

"Calm yourself, if she's lucky she might see another day," smirked Persona, "But by all means interfere if you want, but you know the consequences Narumi," grinned Person.

"Why her?!?," questioned Otou-san, "YOU COULD HAVE NATSUME DO THIS BUT WHY IN THE WORLD DOES IT HAVE TO BE MIKAN!?!?," yelled Otou-san.

"Because…you know as well as I do, the answer to that question," grinned Persona evilly, "She has the most powerful Alice that breaks all the rules and categories of Alices, which is why only she can defeat the Anti Alice Organization also I have asked the Headmaster to assign her this personal mission," snapped Persona calmly.

"I must make the headmaster reconsider this…" pondered Otou-san in his thoughts.

"Oh and don't even try to make the headmaster reconsider because he thought this idea was a perfect." explained Persona as if reading Narumi's mind.

"WHY YOU," shouted Otou-san, but before he could say anything else Persona had disappeared out of sight.

As Otou-san slowly calmed down, he started to walk in my direction.

"Oh no he's coming, I can't let him see me" I thought as Otou-san was walking towards the direction of me, he quickly turned around and walked the other away.

"Something's wrong I've never seen Otou-san this stress since Natsume and Sumire and I were kidnapped," Mikan thought, "This must be something important."

After a few minutes I realized that I was, suppose to go to the headmaster's office. Therefore, I scampered off to the office.

Normal P.O.V

Headmaster's Office

"Gomen-no-sai, desu" apologized Mikan worriedly staring the back of a black leather armchair. As the door creaked open and in walks Mikan.

SLAM! as the door shuts tight.

"You're late!" spoke the headmaster, "oh well you're here now and that's all that matters, please take a seat" retorted the headmaster pointing at the chair in front of his mahogany colored office desk.

He turned around in the wheelchair to face Mikan and it reveals a man who looks more like a senior, than a headmaster looks but nonetheless must be very intellectually smart in order to become a headmaster who runs this school.

"I shall brief you on what I am about to tell you, but first," said the headmaster, "How old do u think I am?" asked the headmaster enthusiastically.

Very surprised at this sudden question Mikan answer, "You look about the age of Otou-san who is Narumi sensei, who looks about the age of a senior," said Mikan.

"Oh I see, so your Otou-san is Narumi-sensei I see," said the headmaster, "Well then, why thank-you for your compliment, but I am around the age of forty, while your Otou-san is about in his late thirties" Said the headmaster.

"Mikan, please tell me, what do you wish to call me instead of headmaster?" asked the Headmaster, "Because I know that you, by nature, aren't that polite so I wish to get to know you better and so please tell me what you wish to call me instead of headmaster that suits you comfortably?"

"Ano…Onii-chan" smiled Mikan as she said this.

"Hmmk..Onii-chan I see" said the headmaster, "Ok sure why not" said the Headmaster.

"Okay well back to the briefing," responded Onii-chan, "You will be going on a special mission that only you can accomplish and by you I mean only you," said the headmaster.

"Well first off, you will not be attending classes anymore" Acknowledged Onii-chan, "Instead you will be training," replied Onii-chan, "What training you may ask, well you will be training to the full extent going beyond your limits," said Onii-chan.

But before he could continue Narumi sensei barges in.

"OTOU-SAN," shouted Mikan when she saw him.

"Oh Mikan-chan, I need to talk to the headmas-" but before he could continue Mikan said

"Oh you mean Onii-chan" answered Mikan.

"Onii-chan?" questioned Narumi sensei dumbstruck.

"Yeah. The headmaster told me to call him whatever I wanted so I decided to call him onii-chan because I never really had a brother." Said the overly excited Mikan.

"I see.." said Narumi as he turned his head to stare at the headmaster. "What is the meaning of this?" Questioned the frustrated Narumi.

"As you can see I have analyzed Mikan as a good and cute person," said the headmaster,

"And so it seems she is really special to you so I have decided to eliminate the worst possible outcomes for her, but as you know, she MUST do this considering I have said so and that it is very important to and for our school.." answered the Headmaster.

Back At the Class

Hotaru's P.O.V

"It's been over an hour already and Mikan still hasn't come back" I thought to myself, "I wonder what has happened to her?, cause right now it seems everyone's looking weird because of that baka!"

Ruka's P.O.V

"Mikan still hasn't come back yet" I wondered, "Natsume's probably worried too." I said, because he kept peeking from his manga to see if she was there.

Natsume's P.O.V

"I wonder where polka-dots is.." I thought. "If she's with another guy…I'll be sure to burn him later" I smirked. "But it's impossible considering she's at the headmaster's office. I wonder what their talking about?" I wondered..

Normal P.O.V

Back at the Headmasters Office

"Please sit down Narumi while I discuss the details to you and Mikan." replied Onii-chan.

Narumi took a seat in front of the mahogany colored office desk beside Mikan.

"Okay please listen carefully. The both of you please," asked the Onii-chan.

"First of all Mikan," he said while looking at Mikan and ignoring Narumi's glare,

"You will not be attending school anymore and you will not be able to live in the compartments that you have now" he said, "Instead you will be living in a very comfortable tree house that I built with my friends when I used to attend this very school." He said.

"Secondly you will not be able to talk to anyone about this except your Otou-san, the other teachers, and I." He paused and took a deep breath, " And Thirdly you will not be able to see nor tell any of friends about this, do I make myself clear?" He said in a serious tone.

"N-NA-NA-NANI!!!!" Mikan roared that was loud enough to be heard almost everywhere.

Back at the Class

"Did you hear that Natsume?" said Ruka, "For a second their, I thought I heard Mikan."

"I didn't hear anything," Replied Natsume with that manga on his face while trying to sleep.

Headmaster's Office

"Well yes you are not allowed to tell anyone about this okay?" said Onii-chan hands on his ear to prevent the loudness from breaking his eardrum that may have caused him to go deaf.

Narumi just sat their but then told Mikan to come and sit on his lap, which she did because her face looked as though rivers of tears were streaming down.

"You are not allowed to tell them and also you are doing this training for the whole entire school because one day, their will be a time when this school will be attacked. You will be the only one to stop those who are going to attack this school and if you don't do so then your friends might die." Said the Headmaster concerned that Mikan didn't understand.

"They might die…" sniffled Mikan,

"I must protect my friends… Hotaro… Nonoka… Anna… Sumire… Koko… Ruka… Yuu…Mochu…and Natsume…" Her head was down low with her brown brunette bangs covering her face, "I'll do it.." Mikan said quietly.

"Pardon?" The headmaster said not quite catching the last part.

"I'll do it," replied Mikan excitedly even though deep down it her so much to know that she wont be able to see her friends anymore nor tell them anything.

Narumi saw how hurt she was a while ago and knew that deep down it hurt Mikan so much so he grabbed her and stood up to walk out the door but then paused to say one last thing to the headmaster.

"When will this begin" Narumi asked calmly.

"This will begin starting next week," stated the Headmaster

In addition, just as they were about to leave Mikan quickly mentioned, "Good-bye Onii-chan see you soon."

SLAM! The door shut

The headmaster sat in his chair emotionless. "That girl is really something," he thought to himself as a tear dropped from his unemotional face structure.

Out the door and down a hall to a secluded room

"Ok you can cry now Mikan," Narumi said putting her down and giving her a big hug.

Mikan broke out crying hard. Thinking that it wasn't fair for her but she knew why she had to do this and why they picked her, it was because their was an incident in which she accidentally copied Persona's Alice by accident and the whole entire secret was almost let loose not until Onii-chan erased everyone's memories except all the teachers, Mikan and Onii-Chan..

Mikan stopped crying after twenty minutes to calm herself. Narumi just held her until she was ready to talk.

"Are you ok now Mikan?" asked Narumi worriedly

"Yes Otou-san" said Mikan quietly

"Alright then I will start training you on improving your brain to make you become top one in your class because that is my mission assigned to me by your Onii-chan," replied Narumi sweetly, "We will start tomorrow so be prepared ok?" said Narumi caringly

"Hai!" said Mikan with a bright smile even though she was hurt badly inside.

"Mikan I also want you to act yourself and remember not to tell anyone, and also we will start the training as I said tomorrow and you should be able to ace the exams when they come next week ok.?" Replied Narumi

"Hai" said Mikan as if she had something to look forward to soon enough

"That's my Mikan that I know" Narumi said smiling while escorting and holding Mikan's hands to the door and walking out with her back to class.

"Also Mikan, I would like to mention that this week will be the hardest of times in your whole life so be prepared. Ok" said Narumi

"Don't worry Otou-san, I will protect you and everyone who I care about so dearly" said Mikan trying to find words to sound more mature and sophisticated.

"You're improving already Mikan, your a fast learner, I'm very proud of you" Narumi said happily.

"Oh-ri-ga-tou-desu…Otou-san" Mikan said Smiling.
