CHAPTER 1: Mama and Papa

Alice Academy, it's been the home of Sakura Mikan for the past year. And now she is on her 6th and final year in elementary. Many events have passed that has changed the life of the young gal and it seems that many secrets have also been revealed to her life. Three months ago, on summer vacation, Sakura Mikan was sent to Barcelona. After her return, her old ball of sunshine routine was reduced and she was promoted to a two star student. Another is she does not usually cling to Hotaru Imai like she used to. The raven haired genius was even worried about this. This became an enigma to all her friends especially a certain kuro-neko. To them, she still is the old Mikan, but how was she promoted so easily? Why did she change all of a sudden? Unknown to them, their questions will be answered on the twenty-seventh day of November.

It was a peaceful morning. Mikan was on her way to their classroom on the third floor. On her first year at school, Mikan would usually be in her room at this very minute snoring like there's no tomorrow but after the little trip to Barcelona, she would usually be going to their classroom half an hour before class begins and reads up her books. Books meaning in Spanish and lots of them, and nobody can understand a damn thing in her books. Not even Hotaru who is practically a genius.

Mikan opened the door of their room and sighed. 'As expected... Not even Yuu is here.' She went to her sit and dropped the four books that she was holding on her left hand while her right was perked up as she reads. Sitting on her chair, she continued to read the final page of the book. Sighing again as she finished the novel, she picked up another book from the file and started to read it. As she was flipping through the next page she heard a loud slam to their classroom door. Marking the page she stood up and gaze at the door.

"Whose there?" she asked

She perked up and saw young Youichi sitting, his arms were holding his knees up to his chest. Mikan's eye softens as she saw the young alice calming himself. She sat beside the boy and slung an arm around him. Youichi's head perked up and saw the young brunette. Streaks of dried tears were visible on the pale face.

"What are you doing ugly?" asked Youichi on a stern tone

"Calming you down, you know that you are the one who barge in our room." replied Mikan

"I was hoping that Natsume-niisan would be here." replied Youichi

"Hmm…"

Youichi looked at Mikan. This is the first time he saw her since last summer and only now he notice the sudden change of the girl. Mikan notice Youichi's facial expression and smiled. She carried Youichi (the brat giving a large protest) and sat on her chair. Placing the lad on her lap and Youichi's head in her chest, stoking his hair gently she spoke.

"What is troubling you this early in the morning, dear one?" asked Mikan in a soft voice

Youichi gasped. The voice of Mikan and her gestures, it was as if he was in the arms of his late mother. This make Youichi's heart pound and tears began forming in his grey eyes. Nobody called him dear one since he entered the academy. Youichi gripped Mikan's uniform tighter and sobbed on her chest.

"P-Pe-Persona-sensei approached me e-earlier and a-as-asked me to-to train wi-with him pe-personally. He th-threatens to hurt ni-niichan if I don't." replied Youichi "He wants me to g-go to m-missions just l-like ni-niisan."

"Hmmm… And what did you do dear one?"

"I… I ran."

Mikan continued to stroke his hair gently calming the boy in his arms. She started to hum the song that she learned from her trip making the tensed body on her chest sighed and calmed down.

"Mi-Mikan-san…" said a muffled voice from her chest

"What is it dear one?" asked Mikan

"Can you be my Mama?"

Mikan lifted the boy's head so that they were eye to eye. She smiled and kissed his forehead dearly.

"Of course dear one."

Youichi smiled before resting his head once again on Mikan's chest. Mikan continued to stoke the young alice's hair and hum. Soon the boy fell asleep. Mikan smiled and get the book that she was reading earlier. After fifteen more minutes, the two doors of the room opened and Mikan's chatting classmates entered. This make Youichi flinched. Mikan looked at her classmates and hushed them. The chatting stopped and looked at Mikan, Youichi on her lap. Anna and Nonoko almost squealed but stopped when Mikan gave them a death glare that can rival Natsume's. Instead, they continue to chat on hushed tones whist taking their seats. Mikan continued to read until the very last couple entered the room. It was Natsume, hands in pocket and Ruka whose hands were preoccupied with Usagi.

"Will you keep it down Natsume-kun." said Mikan not loosing an eye from her book "Dear One is sleeping."

Natsume cocked his eyebrow. 'Dear One?' he thought and walked towards Mikan.

"Hey polka, who is…" Natsume's crimson eyes widen as he saw Youichi clinging to Mikan sleeping.

Ruka saw his friend's reaction and followed him.

"Natsume, what's wrong?" asked Ruka and looked at Mikan. He gasped as he saw the scenario that made his friends stopped on his tracks "Youichi?!"

"mmmhmmm…" Youichi grunted before starting to stir.

Mikan used her free hand to stoke Youichi's hair and started to hum her lullaby again. Youichi sighed and return to his peaceful sleep. Mikan glared at Ruka who clamped his hands on his mouth. Natsume raised an elegant eyebrow and approached the young brunette.

"What did you do to make him cling to you polka?" asked Natsume coldly

"Nothing that concerns you." replied Mikan not even bothering to leave her sight from the book she was reading "Oh and by the way, good morning Ruka-pyon, Natsume."

"Hn." Was the reply of the neko and he went back to his seat

Half of the girls in their class (meaning his fan girls) led by Sumire Shoda approached the seat of the best friends. Sumire held a gift in front of Natsume and smiled.

"Happy B-day… Natsume-kun." smiled Sumire

Natsume looked at her incuriously and replied an 'hn'. All the girls (-ahem-fan-ahem-girls) squealed ear-piercingly words like 'he's so cool' and 'he's a god' at the coolness of their Natsume-sama making the sleeping Youichi stirred and moan in irritation.

"SHODA! TELL YOUR MEMBERS TO SHUT THEIR TRAP UP OR I'LL MAKE THEM TO!" yelled Mikan standing up holding Youichi and dropping her book on her table.

The whole room was silenced by the outburst of Mikan. Never in the history of Mikan's stay in the academy no, scratch that, never in all her life did she yell like she did. Even when Hotaru is constantly hitting her with her baka-gun or Natsume's fetish on looking at her underwear doesn't make the young brunette that mad. Natsume looked at her and swear that he saw a tint of red in Mikan's eyes.

"What did you told me no star?" asked Sumire cockily

"Are you deaf or just playing stupid?" Mikan asked venomously "As you may have heard and see I am no longer a no star permy."

"Why you…?!"

The verbal battle subsides when they heard a soft voice from Mikan's chest.

"…Mama."

Everyone in the room looked where the innocent voice came from and found Youici awake on Mikan's arms. He was not the Youichi that glares at everyone except for Natsume but an innocent boy on the arms of the brunette. Mikan's anger subsides and smiled. Cupping the small boy's chin, she placed a lovingly kiss on his forehead making the young boy smile.

"What is it, dear one?"

"Am I being a nuisance to you?" asked Youichi

"Hm… of course not dear one. It's just that permy and her gang is being too loud and I don't want to disturb my dear one in his sleep now would I?" replied Mikan softly "After meeting Persona early this morning, I knew you are tired."

The name caught Natsume's attention and stride forward to Youichi.

"Youichi, what did Persona told you?" asked Natsume

Youichi perked up and saw Natsume on a worried façade. He can't help but to look at Mikan's smiling face to Natsume's worried one. He can't help but giggle.

"Papa." he said
