-Alice Academy America-

Mikan's POV

Hmm… I think I brought too much stuff. The principal said me and Hotaru are special stars. Argh! I can't fit my clothes in this stupid closet! While I was trying to fit my clothes in the closet someone knocked. "Who is it?" I asked while I'm finding a place to put my clothes. "I'm your dorm neighbor, Kyle Creves." The person on the other side of the door said. "It's open." I said as I finally found a place to put my extra clothes.

End of POV

A raven-haired boy with gray eyes entered Mikan's dorm room. He was wearing a loose black t-shirt and cargo shorts as he entered. The young brunette was wearing a yellow long blouse and striped brown shorts.

"Hi! The headmaster said that I would help you unpack your stuff" The raven-haired boy named Kyle said as he looked around the room. "Oh. No need. These other boxes are already empty. I'm Mikan Sakura by the way." She sat on the bed as she observed Kyle. He was looking around. She followed his eyes as he was looking at the mini library. He then looked at the living room, the kitchen, the door to the bathroom and then at her. She blushed as he had his intense gaze on her. "U-uhm… W-would y-you l-like s-something to e-eat?" She stuttered.

"Oh, uhm… you don't have to…"

…

"Uhm… So, you're from Japan?"

"Uh… Yeah."

An eerie silence filled the room. Mikan sighed as she saw tumbleweed pass. "Uhm… Well, I'll see you later, I'm uhm… going to t-take a bath." The nervous brunette said as his intense gaze made her even more nervous. He just shrugged and and went out the door. Once she heard the sound of the door closing she immediately gave a sigh of relief.

She plopped down on her bed. She was going to take a bath later. She broke down in tears as she recalled event at the airport.

Flashback:

"This is it, ne, Hotaru-chan?" The young brunette said to her best friend. The inventor sighed. She was going to miss the Academy. She knew that the young brunette would be bawling her eyes out for a few days. "Oi, baka. We're boarding in 5 minutes. Let's go." And they walked towards the boarding area.

"Mikan!" was heard as a raven-haired lad ran around the airport frantically looking for his favorite 'Polka Dots'.

"The flight to America is now boarding. I repeat, the flight to America is now boarding"

"NO!" he ran and ran towards the boarding area and only saw her pass the gates. "Mikaaaaaaaan!" he shouted as the young brunette finally noticed him.

"Goodbye, Hyuuga. It seems you are just too late to realize your feelings" she muttered. "Stop talking to yourself, idiot. You look stupid" Even though the stoic inventor heard what she said, she felt sorry for the raven-haired lad. He was lucky that she left a note about their departure.

End of Flashback

Mikan's POV

Ugh! He is so… Ugh! It serves him right! He's just too late. I stood up and walked towards the bathroom. I think a bath could help me, a nice warm bath. I open the bathroom door and enter. The bathroom was huge! It was separated into two by a curtain. The side where the door is was the dressing room. It had sink in the corner, a small table and a chair on the left side of the wall. I guess it's for make-up, hair curlers and other necessary stuff to make a girl beautiful. On the right side, the wall was covered by a full length mirror. There was also a cabinet where lingerie was located. The floor was carpeted and it had scented candles on different parts of the walls. It had clothing hooks near the lingerie cabinet and one clothing hook especially made for towels and robes. On the other side was the bath room. It had a miniature Jacuzzi in the corner fit for 4 people, a shower next to it and a sink. The Jacuzzi was pure white with Sakura petals as a design. It had candle holders on both sides, tall enough not to be put out by water. The sink had bottles of moisturizer, shampoos, feminine wash and other female necessities. It also had an airtight jar of Sakura petals. My guess was to sprinkle it on the Jacuzzi while you're taking a bath. It also had different brands of bubble bath. In the corner of the room was full length mirror. This place sure has a lot of mirrors. I start to undress and I hang my clothing in a hamper I put in a while ago. I fill the Jacuzzi with water and some bubble bath.

"Ah…" I moaned to myself. It was warm and relaxing as I could feel the bubbles pop. I could feel my eyes become heavier and heavier. I gave in fell into a deep sleep.

-Alice Academy America-

Natsume's POV

Dammit! Why did 'she' have to leave for America? Why did I have to say that to 'her'? Dammit! I curse myself inside my head as I had an emotionless face. I was waiting for the teacher (a/n: Wow! Natsume actually goes to classes now!). I whirl my head around as I hear my best friend, Ruka, call my name.

"Natsume, are you alright?" He asked me, concern evident in his voice.

"I'm fine." I replied emotionless.

"Ah… Don't you miss Sakura-san?" I cringe as he said 'her' name. I didn't reply as I bring out a manga I bought yesterday.

End of POV

Ruka's POV

I guess Natsume doesn't want to talk about Sakura-san. I miss her so much and I bet Natsume feels the same. The class isn't as it was before when Mikan was here. No one's going in shouting "Ohayou minna-san" or no one's going to be smashed to the wall. I'll just have to wait for 4 years until she comes back.

End of POV

"O-ohayo m-minna-san" Narumi-sensei said, trying to control his tears since his most favorite student wasn't there anymore. "M-mikan-chan a-and –sob- H-hotaru-chan w-will n-not go t-to s-school h-here s-since they m-moved t-to Alice A-academy A-america –sob-" everyone cried since they're favorite classmate isn't there anymore. "F-free p-period." Narumi-sensei muttered as he went outside of the classroom to find a place to cry. Mikan was very dear to everyone. Even the stoic fire wielder let loose a tear.

-Alice Academy America-

Mikan's POV

I woke up this morning, not knowing who dressed me and put me on my bed. It was either Hotaru or that Kyle. I shudder at the thought that Kyle would do it. I slowly get dressed into my uniform. I fix it in an unruly way. The jacket was unbuttoned, the button up blouse wasn't fixed and I left 3 buttons unbuttoned which showed a small but barely noticeable cleavage. The necktie was loosely hanging and I wore striped leg-warmers. I wore my high-cut sneakers. (a/n: her clothes are sort of like Amu's.) Content with my clothes I went out of my bedroom and I saw Kyle there leaning on the wall.

"What are you doing here? This is my dorm." I questioned him. Well what are you supposed to say to someone who you just saw outside of your bedroom? You barely even know the person!

He just stared at me. He just shrugged it off and said "Your weird friend told me to pick you up. She gave me a key to your room."

I just mumbled to myself as I went outside, being followed by that Kyle kid. We walked down the hall as I heard murmurs.

"She's hot."

"Who's she?"

"What's she doing walking with 'my' Kyle?"

"She's soooo cute!"

I smirked at their comments as we arrived in front of the door. I saw a teacher there. He had brown hair and golden eyes. He was wearing a long sleeved button up shirt and striped pants. He looked so… retro.

"Ah. You must be Mikan Sakura. I'm you're adviser, Mr. Hugh Norton. I've already introduced your friend so it's only you." He then faces Kyle and said "Thank you Mr. Creves for picking her up."

"Hn." Kyle grunted. He reminds me of someone…

End of POV

Kyle entered the classroom which was followed by squeals and giggles. As his fangirls tried to get near he just froze their feet to their spots. He proceeded to his seat at the back. He brought his book and his reading glasses and started to read. Mikan just chuckled at her place near the door as she watched the scene unfold. 'It seems that he has the alice of Ice.' She thought as she stepped back so that she wouldn't attract any attention but before she could do that she was already noticed.

"Hey Mr. Norton, who's the cute girl by the door?" a boy with silvery blue hair and green eyes asked.

"Ah. She's the new student." Mr. Norton then faces Mikan and gestured for her to come in. "She's from Japan. She speaks English fluently so you can all converse normally with her." He beamed to all the students.

They sweat dropped at his gesture. Their teacher was way too cheerful.

She entered the classroom as all their gazes were on her. She went to the front of the class and introduced herself.

"Mikan Sakura. 15. Nullification, SCE, Elemental, Mind-reading and 15 other alices. SCE stands for Steal, Copy and Erase. I can steal copy or erase all of your alices at the same time. I can also nullify all your alices. Special star." She said coldness evident in her voice.

"O-okay… Uhm… A-are t-there a-any questions for Miss Sakura?" he stuttered. Hands shot up as boys and girls began to ask her questions.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" one boy asked. Mikan just glared at him and ignored him afterwards.

"How do you keep your complexion so clear?" a girl with silver hair with red highlights and brown eyes asked. She just ignored that one and continued to listen to the other questions

"Mikan, marry me!" with that she all her restraints snapped. She banged her hand on the blackboard to catch everyone's attention. The brown haired teacher cowered in the corner as he watched the once normal girl become surrounded by a killing aura. She gave everyone there except her best friend whom she just noticed a moment ago a glare which clearly stated 'shut up or die'. Everyone except the blackmailer and Kyle shuddered in fear.

"Shut up will you!" she snapped.

"Who w-wants t-to b-be h-her p-partner?" The cowering teacher stuttered. No hands shot up. The brunette just smirked in return.

"S-since no one w-wants t-t-to b-be her p-partner –gulp- I g-guess I'll p-pick." He muttered loud enough for the class to hear. He looked around the room and smirked once he saw someone. It was the guy who first noticed her.

"Hm… It seems Mr. Chris is the only one who doesn't have a partner, no?" the boy in question whipped his head to face the the teacher.

"E-eh? B-but-" he was cut off by the chuckle of the young brunette.

'Oh! She has a cute laugh.' The boy named Chris thought.

"No buts Mr. Chris." The brown haired teacher said. "Miss Sakura, he is your partner now. Please sit next to him." He said as he gestured to the seat next to the green-eyed boy.

15-year old brunette just walked over her assigned seat and pulled out a book. As she was reading the girl with silver hair and red highlights walked up to the brunette.

"Hi! I'm Angela Mane, levitation alice. And your partner over there is Chris Daniel!" the girl named Angela introduced. Mikan just nodded in acknowledgement and continued to read her book.

Mikan's POV

As I read my book, I could see from the corner of my eye that Chris guy. He had a goofy smile on his face. He was looking at me. I don't know what possessed him to stare at me like he won the lottery. I just ignored him and continued to read. I listened to the cheerful retro teacher as he announced stuff about assemblies, teacher's meetings and other stuff. Once I heard him say "Free Day!" I immediately stood up and gathered my stuff. I could see Hotaru waiting for me outside the door. I walked closer to her.

"Nice show awhile ago. If you hadn't have done what you did, I might have used the Baka gun on your hormonal fanboys and fangirls." My best friend said emotionlessly.

We walked down the hall as I could hear squeals and wolf whistles. We just ignored them.

"Hey, idiot. Your fanboy is following us." As soon as I heard that statement, I whipped my head around to see my partner, Chris. He was gawking at us.

"What do you want?" I spat at him.

"You're friends with Hotaru?"

"Yeah. So?"

"N-nothing. Would you like a tour of the school?" he asked. I turned to face Hotaru to find she wasn't there. I shrugged it off and followed Chris as we walked around the school.

"Do you have any Sakura trees here?" I asked.

"Huh?" he asked. His once cheerful face becomes a face of confusion. I just remembered. Sakura means Cherry Blossom.

"I mean, do you have any Cherry Blossom trees here?" I inquired as his face became cheerful again.

"Oh… I think so." He gestured over to a corner where the forest started. They called this place 'Hellhound Cradle'. Chris said they called it that because one night they were camping there and they heard loud growling and howling coming from the deeper parts of the forest, which creates the name 'Hellhound Cradle'. I honestly don't believe that rumor. I bet those were normal wolves.

"I saw a few cherry blossom trees in the deeper part of 'Hellhound Cradle'." He shuddered as he said the name. He gestured towards the forest. We walked towards it and entered.

End of POV

They entered 'Hellhound Cradle'. The young brunette looked around as the forest was different from the one in the Academy in Japan. It was more large and it was crowded with different trees and other stuff.

As they ventured deeper into the woods, the young brunette could feel her partner shiver. She knew it was getting dark but she needed to find a sakura tree, a place where she could be reminded of her friends back in Japan.

"Uhm… Sakura, can we go back now? I doubt we can find a Cherry Blossom tree in the dark." Chris pleaded. His eyes were filled with worry. He was scared and cold.

"You can go back if you want; I doubt you remember the way back." She replied as she pulled back branches that got in their way. Her arms and legs were bruised and scratched, but she wouldn't dare say that to her partner. She didn't want to show any kind of weakness.

"Yeah, I don't." he feebly said as he scratched the back of his head, unknowing to the snake that was getting ready to lunge at him.

"Auuugh!"
