A brunette stood in front of Alice Academy, a very prestigious and magnificent school that had been running for almost fifty years. With its notable reputation, only the prominent and the wealthy can enter. She gazed at the golden lettering of the school's name, found on the main gate. She clenched her fists and gulped.

She didn't like it one bit at all.

She glanced at the blue sky that seems to be smiling at her. Her milky brown eyes met the sun, making her lips form a frown. It's been a millennium or so since their last meeting and, up to now, their meetings have never been pleasant. She looked back at the gate and her expression turned worse.

Yes, she didn't like it one bit at all.

"Damn," she cursed, seeing the humans walking around. "Stupid punishment."

Earlier that day, the same brunette stood in the middle of the arena. Everybody in the crowd stared at her, giving her looks of disappointment and arrogance. She was surrounded with everything pure white, making her black clothing stood out more.

The Court of Dimensions was the worst place to go to when an angel or a devil committed something terrible. And apparently, she was there.

"Mikan Sakura." shouted a masculine voice, coming from the light that suddenly appeared before her. As soon as it faded, it revealed a man who looked in his forties. His black hair was pressed down, a pair of blue lens covered his eyes and his evenly toned skin caught everyone's attention. It was God himself.

"Mikan Sakura," he shouted, this time. His words caused the girl's ears to perk. "You have executed a very terrible crime indeed. Do you deny it?"

Mikan stared onto his eyes and shook her head.

"I shall sentence you to banishment over the human world." he declared, eyeing her with a glare. If he wasn't the supreme ruler of Heaven, Mikan sworn she would have sliced him into two.

"But," he added, there was a long pause after that. "You can return," Mikan's expression lightened a bit. "If only—only—you managed to be successful at the task I'm about to hand you."

Mikan gulped. She knew God wouldn't make it easier for her to enter the celestial world again but she was determined to do this one. "What is it?" she asked, getting the crowd's total attention. The audience continued to watched, their eyes never left them.

"Correct the ways of the five devilish boys of Alice Academy." he stated, almost grinning. The crowd gasped, making Mikan's knees weaken. Everyone knew those five were, nobody wouldn't dare to cross their paths with them.

"Hold on a minute," Mikan shouted, surprising God in a manner he didn't expect. "That's impossible! Those kids are pure evil—evil I tell you! They never received gifts from Santa Claus. They're at the top of the Naughty List. They're Lucifer's spawn!"

You see, dear readers, exaggeration has its own way with words. Some people do believe it whilst some do not. Albeit to the fact that people do believe it, God does not... unfortunately.

He shook his head in dismay. "Now, now, Mikan Sakura, don't exaggerate too much." from the podium he was standing on, he took a step down and circled around her. "We all know that Lucifer has only one child and it's you." He pointed his finger at her, making her recoil.

She tried to protest but before she could say another word, God spoke once more. "Actually, you should thank your father for decreasing the burden on your part," he snapped his fingers. "Now, off you go."

"Wait—!" A large pitch-black portal surrounded the brunette and sucked her up. She was gone.

"Disperse." God ordered, making the audience leave one by one.

From the shadows, a man stepped out, catching God's attention. His silver eyes glowed at the sight of the celestial being. He ran his fingers through his long, silver—not white—hair. He reached out his hand in the air, making his fingers shown in the process, his pointy, long fingernail made God recoiled in disgust. You could trace deep wrinkles around his face, especially on his forehead. "You could have at least told her about the prophecy."

"I dare not," God replied, bitterness lingering in his tone. "It is not right to tell her; after all, her fate will involve those five, especially the one who carries the destiny to be her fated-half. If she knew, she'll trample it, you know how she is."

Lucifer cringed at the D-word. He never liked it and he dare not say it aloud. "I can't stand the thought that a mere mortal will take my daughter's heart."

Chapter One: The Punishment

She cursed in ancient Demonic tongue. Staying under the heat was one thing, finding those boys were another. God must have been making things harder for her since the sun kept on shining brightly, she thought. Demons have their own weaknesses they try to cover up as much as possible, hers was the sun. She had a terrible experience with the sun, making her develop hatred for it on the process.

"Where could they be?" she murmured whilst checking the surroundings. It had been thirty minutes since she started searching for them. Much to her dismay, she couldn't even find any of the five.

"I better check my journal again."

She reached her hand out in the air and POOF a small, pink notebook suddenly appeared. She flipped the pages to the part where the five's information was jotted down. "Ah-hah." she mumbled.

She gave out a sinister smile which caused the nearby flower bush to wither.

"Only this Natsume Hyuuga hasn't his secret revealed yet." Mikan murmured. She found it interesting—very interesting.

Inside the classroom, she noticed that everyone was secretly glancing at her. This peeved her. Even without looking at them, she could feel the intense stares they were giving at her back. She swore she could sense that it was almost as if they could see her very soul.

When the teacher arrived, everyone took a seat and listened on what he was going to say. Mikan eyed him from top to bottom. His blond hair glittered under the sun, making it bright for her eyes. She tried her best to look away.

"Good morning," he greeted, starting his class with a smile. It was absurd that he was wearing purple leggings with a matching tutu. No one dared questioned his fashion sense. "We have a transfer student." he gestured Mikan to stand up, which she did. "Please treat her well."

She tossed her hair in the air and eyed everyone in the room. She could hear their whispers, their heartbeat and most of all the steps nearing which came from outside. She turned to the door and waited for the latecomers.

The door opened wide and it revealed a masculine figure of a boy. His detailed jaw line was perfect, his nose was pointed just fine, his wide shoulders would make him stand out if he was in a crowd, his muscular and big chest would fit two girls and his sole presence caused a stir in the room.

As soon as he stepped into the room, his gang followed him. With just one look at them, you would feel they were superior; it was as if they own the place. Their eyes didn't met with any of the student's. One of the members, Koko, bumped to the teacher's table, making some of the paper files drop on the floor.

In normal circumstances, Mikan being a devil would have shook in laughter, encouraging them to execute more evil deeds. But this time she was on a mission to whip their asses to perfect condition. Normally, it was an Angel's job to do this; but they picked the wrong person this time.

"Hey," she called, she wasn't pertaining to anyone in the five but it was Youichi who glanced back at her. It was an utter miracle when he did, after all, he was the kind of person who would hesitate to confront anyone. "You should apologize to the teacher."

The young silver-haired boy clicked his tongue in irritation, "Are you ordering us?" his tone sounded in disbelief, as if he thought that he heard wrong.

But he didn't. His ears were in perfect shape.

"In a matter of fact, yes." she admitted, a small smug appearing on her face.

Koko nudged Youichi to ignore the brunette but it was too late for that. Tsubasa lurched forward and decided to take the matter in his own hands. "For your own good, I think you should pipe down," he spat. "Unless you want to face our wrath."

Mikan rolled her eyes, deciding to ignore his worthless comment.

Tsubasa cracked his knuckles in anger, the girl's attitude pissed him off. She was the first girl who annoyed him like this, second was his childhood friend.

"You're a transferee, aren't you?" Koko asked, beaming a devilish smirk. "Maybe you haven't heard but there's this saying going around the campus: Mess with the five, they'll mess your face."

The brunette simply laughed at their remarks as if it was a playful joke. Her action caused some of the people in the room puzzled and worried. This won't end well.

The raven-haired boy stood in one corner, watching everything in silence. For him, she looked like an exotic animal—so rare to see. He never met a girl who would fight back against them. His lips curved into a small unnoticeable smirk.

"Who do you PFFT think you PFFT guys are?" she asked, between laughs. "I'm not scared of you three. You're like insects, easy to squash!" Tsubasa clenched his fists. "I know everything about you guys." With her statement, it caused them to think is she a stalker?

"Little Youichi still pees on his bed," she stated mockingly, causing the silver-haired boy to blush furiously. "Blondie, here, gives out love advice in the internet. Andou is hopelessly in love with this Misaki. And Yome is having sexual fantasies about Hyuuga's sister."

"HOW THE FUCK DID YOU KNOW?" Koko cried, making everyone gasp except a few. His reaction made everyone believed on what the brunette was saying.

The brown-haired boy glanced at his leader and caught him twitching in anger. He mouthed, 'Sorry, I didn't mean to.' causing the flame caster much more annoyed.

"Hey," the raven-haired boy finally spoke as he strode toward the brunette. His red eyes met the girl's brown ones. Sparks flew, but not the kind of love-sparks. It was the kind I-want-to-kill-you sparks. "I don't like you pushing my friends around." he turned to Koko and glared at him, the poor boy return a forced chuckle.

"I don't know how you... manage to attain those stupid information but I'm warning you," he warned. "Back off or I'll send you to Hell."

The funny thing was that Mikan was already from Hell and sending her back would be doing her a favor. Yes, she liked that. She didn't want to stay any longer in the human world, she wanted to go back. But she knew this Natsume Hyuuga had no power over her.

Mikan growled at him, her eyebrows almost connecting.

He cupped her chin with his hands and looked at her straight into the eye. "You think you're so great, huh, you little punk." Mikan slapped his hand away.

"What's your alice?" He demanded. He needed to know her alice in order for him to beat her to a pulp.

"You don't need to know." she replied.

"If you're so great, tell me something I'm hiding from you." he challenged her. He had nothing to hide, and that made him confident. He wanted to humiliate the girl in front of everyone.

Mikan rummaged through her bag for her pink diary which appeared. She flipped the pages and the Natsume's information caused her to paralyze on her spot. At the back of her mind, she sworn she felt faint.
