Chapter 3: Seek
At the courtyard of Alice Academy, Tsubasa Andou and Misaki Harada are sitting quietly on the fountain. They've been wondering where their junior friends might be.
On the day that Mikan and the others vanished, Tsubasa and Misaki planned to hang-out with them. But when they reached the usual hang-out, the gang isn't there. They've been searching for days all around the academy. They went to the North, South, East, and West Forests, but still, no sign of them.
"Hmmm… It's been almost two weeks and yet, they still hadn't shown up!" Misaki cried worriedly.
"Yeah, I wonder where those five are. I'm so worried about them."
"Don't you think they ran away?"
He laughed after hearing what Misaki said. "Well, we all know that Natsume wants to escape because he hates this school so much, but when Mikan arrived everything changed," she was just silent, "and as for Mikan, Hotaru, Youichi and Ruka, they never attempted to run away." He continued.
"You're right. But if they hadn't ran away, where did they go?"
"I don't know either. We've already searched the whole academy"
"But hey, they can go out from this school if they are assigned on missions, right?"
"Yes, they can, but the only dangerous Alice are Mikan, Natsume and Yuoichi. Hotaru and Ruka can't go with them because they are not in dangerous type." Tsubasa explained.
They sat there quietly, still wondering where their friends are. Who knows if something bad happened to them? After awhile, Tsubasa stood up and Misaki looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"I know what we'll do" Tsubasa said as he held his hand helping Misaki on her feet. "Let's go ask the faculty, maybe they know something about them."
"That's a good idea! Let's go!" she cried happily.
As soon as they reached the faculty, they immediately searched for Narumi Anjou, the Phenomenon Alice teacher. But, to their disappointment, he is not there. As they turned their heels to leave the room, they were surprised to see Serina, a Clairvoyance Alice who uses crystal ball, standing by the door.
"What are you doing here? You know that students are not allowed to enter here." She asked the two students.
Tsubasa stepped forward and bowed an apology to Serina. "We're really sorry Serina-sensei, but we are looking for Narumi-sensei."
"And what business do you have with him?"
"We would like to ask him, if he knows something about his missing students."
"Oh that? Well, as you can see Narumi has gone to somewhere again, so I don't know where he is", Serina told the two teens, "but, as for the missing students, Noda should be the person you'll be asking. He knows where they are."
"Huh? Noda-sensei?" Misaki asked a puzzled look in her face, "but, what does he have to do with them?"
"Hmmm… Hey Misaki! Serina-sensei is right! We can ask Noda-sensei to ask to go to the time that Mikan and the others disappeared and see what happens to them!" Tsubasa exclaimed excitedly after thinking for awhile.
Misaki's face brightens up after hearing what Tsubasa had said, "That's right! That way, we can find them!"
"You two are hopeless" Serina sighed. "You two got it all wrong."
"Eh?"
"Noda accidentally took your friends away. But we don't know if it's in the past or the future." Serina explained.

"What? Noda-sensei is the one who's behind of all this?" the two asked with an exaggerated horrified looks on their faces.
"As I said, it was an accident, I and the other faculty was it in my crystal ball."
"What do you mean by accident?" Misaki asked after recovering from her shock.
"We all know that until now, Noda has no control on his alice right?" the two students answered with a nod, "well, when Noda appeared in front of your friends, he accidentally took them away with him, maybe in the past or the future. Who knows?" Serina shrugged her shoulders.
"Thank you very much Serina-sensei." Tsubasa and Misaki bowed their heads and left the room.

The students of middle school Class B were all wondering where their friends might be. Each day had passed and they are all so eager to see them. They are not even showing up at the dorm even when it's time for meals.
One time, while having their class, they were wondering as to why do their homeroom teacher, Narumi, seems not to care of his students at all, because when he's checking the attendance and called out the name of the missing students who doesn't call back, he still asks carefree and all. So the class agreed to ask him about it.
As the school bell rings, Narumi entered the room. His students were all awkwardly silent with a sad look on their faces.
"Ohayou minna~!" He greeted them with a cheery face. "It's a wonderful day today! Isn't it, my dear students?"
"Hai~" the students answered without any enthusiasm.
"What's wrong?" he asked curiously as he tilted his head slightly to the right.
Sumire was the one to speak for them, "ano…"
"What is it shouda-chan?"
Sensei' we were all wondering," she started, but it seems like you don't care about your students at all." She said with teary eyes,
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
"You see, Mikan, Natsume, Hotaru, and Ruka are missing" Yuu answered. "But, it's like you don't care about it. You look okay with it!"
"Oh them? You see…" Naru bowed down his head his bangs shadowing his blue eyes.
"You know what happened to them?"
"Are they okay?"
"Where are they?"
"When will they come back?"
"Yeah sensei, when?" the students asked happily at the same time, feeling relieved that their friends are okay… I guess…
"Yes, they're fine" Narumi answered for awhile and lifted his face showing his cheery face again. "All right class!" he said while clapping his hands together, "since it's a fine day outside, I'm gonna go and do some errands. So, free period! Ja ne!" and off he go leaving his students behind.
"Naru-sensei! Matte!" Yuu shouted and ran after him, but as soon as he reached the door, it was too late. Narumi was nowhere to be found. "He's gone. But I'm relieved to know that Mikan and the others are just doing fine to wherever they are." he sighed as he went back to the room.
"Yare, yare, my Natsume and Ruka are safe! Oh how I wish that I was with them, instead of Mikan! Oh my! I'm so jealous!" Sumore said dramatically as she puts the back of her hand in her forehead, as if she was gonna faint.
"Snap out of it Shouda-cahan! We all know that NAtsume like Mikan" Koko said spoiling Sumire's daydream.
"Why you! Mikan just seduced my NAtsume!" Sumire cried and stared to act weird.
"Poor sumire, she's hopeless" Anna said and Nonoko agreed with a nod.

At the Central Town, Tsubasa and Misaki were seating on a bench thinking on how they would find Noda. They haven't seen him for weeks either, and maybe he's wanderingin the future or past by now. Who knowe where Time-kun is?
Every time a person or two apperad in front of them, they were hoping that it was Noda, but ther's no such luck for them. It was already late and the sub is starting to set, and the sky is now scarlet tinted and there are only few people at the town. But, they are still hoping for Noda to appear.
By the time it's dark, the two teens decided to give up and to continue their search on the next day.
"Why?" Misaki cried as she walked lazily beside Tsubasa, "Why is this happening to us? Just when we needed Noda-sensei the most, and he isn't showing up!" she continued.
"Well, I guess we were not just lucky for today" Tsubasa said with a comforting tone. "Noda-sensei, please show up already." He prayed silently.
"I hope we'll see him on our way to the dorm."
"Yeah, I hope so too."
They were already near the student's high school dorm when suddenly; a human figure appeared in front of them a few meters away. It was dark, so they hadn't recognize who the person in front of them is.
"Who is it?" Misaki shouted with a shivering voice.
"Eh? Misaki-chan, is that you?" the stranger called out. Tsubas and Misaki just froze there in silence. The voice is so familiar. Could it be?
"Yes, it is me, Nisaki! Noda-sensei?"
"Oh, then that guy beside you must be Tsubasa-kun! What are you guys doing here? It's already night time." He asked as he stepped closer to the students.
"Actually, we were looking for you." Tsubasa explained.
"Huh?"
"You see, Serina-sensei told us that you accidentally took Mikan and the others away to another time, and we wanna know where they are."
"Oh, don't worry about them. I'm sure they're fine. The master is so kind and he might even add them to the guild already." The two teens were just silent and confused, what in the world is Time-kun talking about?
"Guild?"
"Master?"
"They were at the past" Noda smiled.
"Oh…" the two teens said in unison.

"Wait, PAST?"
"Uh-huh. That's what I said, past! P-A-S-T! Past!"
"Are you sure they're alright?" Misaki asked concerned.
"Yes, I'm sure! I've been there many times before."
"That's good to know! Misaki sighed in relief.
"Yeha" Tsubasa agreed.
"Well, I think it's time for you to be going to your dorm now, before―" just as he was about to finish his sentence, he disappeared, again.
"He's gone." Misaki said with a sweatdrop.
"Yeah"
"Well, let's get going then. Maybe they are looking for us by now." And the two made their way to the dorm.

"Hmmm… what mission to take?" Mikan asked herself curiously while looking at the request board.
"Having a hard time?" Gray asked the brunette.
"Yeah, I don't know which quest to take. My friends told me that it was up to me to decide. Since its Ruka and Hotaru's first time to go on a mission, I have to take an easier one."
"Well, why don't you try to go with some of the team on your first mission as a guild member?"
"Hey! You can go with us!" Lucy offered a help.
"She's right, besides, we are the strongest team in this guild." Erza agreed.
"Well, except for Lucy." Happy teased as he eats his fish.
"What did you say you little kitty?" Lucy asked as she pinched Happy's face.
"I still don't know how I ended up to the same team as Natsu. I used to go on missions alone before."
"It started when Lucy joined the guild, remember?" Happy reminded him.
"Oh yeah! I remember it now. And now, I have to be stuck with Natsu and Erza on missions."
"Got a problem with that Gray?" Erza asked him with a terrifying look.
"N-nothing! A-actually, I'm happy that were on the same team!" Gray buffled.
"Good. By the way, where is Natsu?"
"He's taking a nap over there." Happy pointed at the corner.
"Hey! Back to the topic! So, what do you think Mikan? Are you going to accept our offer?" Lucy interrupted in.
"Don't you think it's too crowded for us? We have five members in our team, and you have four."
"Hey I'm part of the team too you know! I am Natsu's partner!" Happy cried.
"It's okay. We will just accompany you. Besides, were not going on a mission ourselves."
"Lucy's right, Mikan." Erza said.
"Hey don't ignore me while I'm talking!" complained a certain blue cat.
"Oh I'm sorry Happy, did you say something?" Mikan asked.
"What? It's not because I'm a cat means you can ignore me!"
"Just say yes Mikan, so that we can get out of here!" Natsume said as he approached the group.
"Uhm… okay! Let's go together! Thanks for the offer you guys!"
"No problem. So, have you already picked up a mission?"
"Yes! I'll take this one!" Mikan said tearing out a paper from the request board.
"Okay! See you tomorrow!" Erza said and waved goodbye as the two teens made their way out.
