Title: 'Bodyguard'

Author: Miyo-chan02

Anime/Manga: Gakuen Alice/Alice Academy

Pairing: Natsume x Mikan

Disclaimer: Gakuen Alice is not mine. Some characters are, (Mau and Yurina)

Before anything else: This story's genre(s) is Humor/Romance but the first two chapters (prologue in Mikan's POV and in Natsume's POV) would probably sound like drama.

Prologue:

(Mikan's POV)

I saw a crimson-eyed boy. He was about my age and some kids we're throwing rocks at him. But he isn't fighting back. He should learn to defend himself! Not knowing anything, not thinking what could happen, I stepped in and started to defend him.

'Hey! What are you doing!?' I shouted.

The kids sounded surprised.

But they just laughed at me then started to throw rocks again.

I was so furious that I threw rocks at them as well.

Good thing that they we're just babies who will cry to their mommies.

After 'rock throwing' I decided to face the boy.

'You know, you should defend yourself.' I said.

'I can't.' He simply said.

I really didn't know what to say next, what if there's a reason behind his "I can't".

I am just 6 years old back then. I'm too innocent to know what I should or should not do.

I said 'Then I'll protect you'

I gave him the biggest smile I ever had.

'A dream?' the words that escaped my mouth as I woke up.

As I looked at my wrist watch, shock and panic was pasted all over my face.

'11:57! Almost midnight?!' I gasped.

I quickly left the party after saying a quick farewell to my friends, completely forgetting about the dream.

-flashback-

'This is a party for Mikan. She's gonna be transferring to a new school. Well, we won't see her until she graduates.' Mau announced.

'So Mikan, you're the princess tonight. We'll do all the things you wanna do.' Yurina added.

We played some games, ate all the food and did other fun stuff. After that, all I wanna do was to sleep. As I sat on a couch and slowly closed my eyes.

-end of flashback-

--+--

Down the dark streets, I walked alone.

No public vehicles passing by.

'Mom's probably worried now' I thought.

I started to run. I wanna go home as soon as possible.

Then, I felt that I am not alone.

Someone's watching me, a meter or two away from me.

Then those meters turned to centimeters.

That 'someone' grabbed me from behind and placed a handkerchief near my nose.

Forcing the scent of a sleeping drug to enter my nostrils.

My eyelids started to feel heavy then… I fainted.

--+--

As I opened my eyes, all I saw was a white ceiling above me.

'Huh?'

'Mikan?' someone called.

Then I found out, it's mom, her face with despair.

Mom hugged me tightly.

--+--

After I left the hospital.

'Mikan, we need to talk.' Mom suddenly called sitting on the couch.

I sat on the other couch.

'I hired you a bodyguard' she simply said.

'Wh-what?!' of course that would be my initial reaction.

'This is for your safety Mikan.' Mom said with her worried face.

I sighed.

'I don't want to and I don't need one.' I insisted in my mind.

Then a question mark popped out of my mind.

'How did I end up in the hospital?' I thought.

'No arguments.' Mom said sending me back to my senses.

'Mom.' I called.

She stood before me, raising an eyebrow.

'I'll accept about the bodyguard, but can I meet him on my second week of classes.' I said with crossed fingers at my back.

Mom seemed to give it a deep thought..

'Okay then.' she simply said.

'But why?' she followed.

'I just want to enjoy my first week with no one following me around.' I lied.

Mom just smiled at me.

I myself, didn't know why I asked her that.

Author's notes: What do you think? This is Mikan's POV. The next would be Natsume's. This is my first Gakuen Alice Story so if there's OOCness, please just tell me about it so I can do something with it. And please review, so that I'll know how my story goes for other people. Thanks a lot!
