Here's Mission: Secrets chapter two..

Summary: Mikan Sakura has been assigned a mission by the Dangerous Abilities adviser, Persona, and the elementary school principle, Ryuu. But it's not just any mission, this one is a long-term mission—and by long-term, they mean a very long time. Her mission is to "enroll" in the private Cross Academy, and watch over the Night Class. She's told that the Night Class has a very dangerous secret that must be kept at all costs, just like the existence of alices must not be known. Mikan has to make sure that the Night Class behaves themselves, and keep the AAO away, who are out to kill them. Mikan meets new friends—and old ones. Who knew her childhood friend went to Cross Academy? What's more, two other people she knows don't even remember her? What's going on? And how does Mikan know someone from Cross Academy?

VERY IMPORTANT: I apologize for practically blowing up on everyone in the last chapter. I was not in the best of moods, and instead of making me feel like you like my story, it put more pressure on me. I understand that by saying "update soon" you don't mean to rush me into writing the next chapter, but I just kind of took it that way on the day I wrote the full version of the first chapter. Please don't hate me for what I said, but I won't take anything back either.

Disclaimer: If I owned Gakuen Alice or Vampire Knight, Yuki would never be together with Kaname and Zero would never fall to Level E, while Yuka would never have left Mikan and Yukihara Izumi wouldn't have died.

"Hello. I'm Kaien Cross, the Chairman."

Mikan nodded.

"Please take a seat." Kaien gestured to the chairs in front of his desk.

Mikan sat in a chair before looking into the chairman's eyes.

"I'm Mikan Sakura."

Hands folded, Kaien stared straight at Mikan with an unwavering gaze. As he took in her appearance, Kaien couldn't help but wonder why she decided to wear Hunters' clothes, even though he knew she meant no harm. 'Somehow it suits her, this Mikan Sakura.' Slightly shaking his head, he cleared Kaien cleared his thoughts. "So, Ms. Sakura, may I ask why you've come to Cross Academy?" He had a fairly good idea, of course.

"I would like to be enrolled as a student here, if you don't mind."

'How long will she be gone this time?'

The same thought went through everyone's head. After Mikan left the day before, happiness in the classroom seemed forced. No one dared to mention Mikan's absence, though they voiced their questions in their heads.

How long would Mikan be gone this time? A day? Three days? A week? Surely it wouldn't be longer than that? Would her mission be dangerous? Could she get hurt—or worse.. killed?

It frightened them. Every time she was called out, it frightened them to death. But it frightened her closest friends most of all.

So that's why every time they would smile too much and laugh too hard, hoping she'd return soon—and safe.

All except three of them.

Hotaru couldn't be bothered to smile, or even make an effort to include herself in conversation. Ruka tried, but his smiles were half-truths that showed his pain. Natsume couldn't even glare at anyone for talking too loud. All he could do was stare blankly at his manga, not actually seeing the pictures and words on the pages.

It was always like this. Nobody really meant the smiles, every laugh pained them; it all hurt so much. And it was only the first full day she was gone. Hell, it was only morning! Homeroom hadn't even started yet—though that was probably Narumi's fault.

Just as that thought passed through Natsume's head, Narumi walked in.

...

Wait, he walked in? He didn't twirl in, or even skip excitedly like a girl? Sure, Mikan's missions made him sad too, but he never acted any differently while she was gone!

No, Natsume thought. 'Something's wrong.'

And it was. Narumi had on a plain black turtle neck and black pants. He never wore so much black.

"Good morning students," Narumi said blankly. "I have some bad news." Bad news? Oh it was bad alright, Narumi thought.

Confused looks were shared throughout the room. A black clad Narumi, blankly stating he has bad news? Something was definitely up, and everyone was on edge. So Narumi's next statement shocked them immensely.

"Mikan Sakura has been sent on a mission for an unspecified amount of time," Narumi grimaced at his own words. "We are not sure when she will be back, therefore I have been ordered to inform everyone here of this." Right, ordered. It's not like he would have kept quiet had they not told him to inform Mikan's classmates.

Several students sat still, eyes wide and shock present in their expressions. The three students who were most affected stood at the back of the classroom, frozen stiff in disbelief. Panic had started showing in their eyes, reflecting the horror they felt. Hotaru tried to hold back the despair threatening to consume her and controlled her expression. Natsume did the same. Ruka couldn't.

What?

Koko heard every thought reflect the same emotion; they'd all thought the same thing at once. No one could believe it.

"You are free for the remaining homeroom, and you shall be excused from first period. I apologize for bringing you such shocking news. I wish I could give you more information, but I don't have it." With that, Narumi slowly left the classroom, his eyes hidden.

And this time, the room stayed silent.

To be continued..

Yes, it's short. I know that. But the next chapter will be much longer, so get over it.

Please read and review.

I was going to put the following random paragraphs before the story, but I figured it would just put off your desire to read the chapter. After all, nobody really likes reading the things people type at the beginning of the story, now do they?

Here's my useless babble.

Okay, so I'm just laying on my bed staring up at the ceiling at 4:45 in the morning, and suddenly this picture just comes to me of Mikan and Yuki hugging each other and spinning around in circles like hyper fan girls, happily chatting about how good it is to see each other again and how Yuki's hair is shorter and how Mikan has changed and.. you get the idea. Strange? Don't ask.

I have no idea why that popped into my head, considering I wasn't even thinking of anything remotely close to Gakuen Alice or Vampire Knight. In fact, the only thing running through my head that early in the morning was, "Oh god, I seriously need to sleep before the sun comes up..."

End of useless babble.
