A/N: My first actual Gakuen Alice story which isn't copied from the manga! Yay! Here is the full summary. Sorry I suck at summaries:

What is the real reason Mikan has always been smiling? When a question about her past was asked, she stayed silent. The village she lived with Hotaru Imai before wasn't her really her village. What ever happened to her real village? Why is it she can't remember her past? What really is beneath all that happiness within Mikan? Most importantly, why did she grew more attached of Natsume despite he kept pushing her away? Is there more of the story that was never been told? NatsumexMikan and HotaruxRuka

Eh, hope you like it! Mikan might be a little OOC so Gomenasai about it! I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

All of the students in Alice Academy were sleeping peacefully. Except for a certain brunette who kept on tossing and turning. Sweat began to form and she kept on whispering 'no...'

"Murderer..."

"Get away from our village you outcast,"

"You don't belong here,"

All of those nasty remarks were fired at the 4 year old brunette who was on ground, sobbing.

"Why...why is this happening to me!?" she sobbed. A crowd that was around her looked at her in disgust. One of the men grabbed her by her hair and threw her harshly on the ground. Everyone laughed and walked away, leaving the almost unconscious girl alone.

"Hey are you ok?" a voice called out.

She slowly opened her eyes but all she saw was nothing but a blur.

"W-Who are you?"

"My name is..."

Suddenly, her alarm clock woke her up. She immediately sat up, wiping the sweat off of her forehead.

"Who was that person?" she murmured. She decided to forget it for now and got up, getting ready for class. Her hair was in two usual pig-tails and she wore the Alice Academy uniform. Before she went out off her room, she grabbed her books and began walking silently across the Elementary Branch corridors. The sudden image of her nightmare began haunting her mind. She dropped her books suddenly and holds her head, feeling dizzy.

"What's wrong with me?" she asked no one. Her headache mystically faded. The books and paper on the floor were scattered but Mikan slowly pick them up and returned to walking to Classroom B. When she first came in, there was a paper airplane flying across the room. It was no surprised that the class was loud and messy as ever. The substitute teacher isn't doing a good job of keeping the class peaceful. But who can blame him, he was tied up on a chair with tape covering his mouth by some student.

"Ohayou!" Mikan greeted. She gave them a fake smile but no one seems to notice except three people.

"Ohayou!" the class responded.

Mikan quietly reach for her desk which was beside Natsume Hyuuga and sat down, not bothering to say hi to Hotaru at all.

"Something is up with Sakura," Ruka whispered. "She didn't greet Imai or us,"

"Hn," Natsume replied. "Oi, polka-dots, what is with you today?"

Mikan simply gave him the silent treatment. In truth, she didn't hear Natsume's voice at all. She kept thinking of the dream she had and she avoided any conversation that questioned about why she was being silent. Even Natsume cast a small flame next to Mikan's face and she seen unaffected by it. Natsume's eyebrows narrowed. This was the first time that Mikan wasn't screaming Bloody Mary when she had body contact with his Alice. Something was up, and he was going to find out.

"What's wrong with Mikan-chan?" Nonoko asked Hotaru worriedly. "She had been silent the minute she step foot in this class,"

"Yea, did something happen to her?" Anna asked.

"Why are you looking at me?" Hotaru said emotionlessly. She seems to be fixing her new invention which seems like a...panda? "I don't know what happen to the idiot, ask her yourself,"

"We tried doing that," Ruka said. "But she isn't answering us,"

Ruka and Natsume left Mikan alone, knowing she won't notice because all she was doing was staring out the window.

"Hn," Natsume said.

After 30 minutes of talking about Mikan except Natsume who just stared at Mikan, the bell rang for recess or break or whatever. Mikan seem to hear the bell and stood up while grabbing all of her stuff and quietly walking out of class, leaving a dumbfounded Ruka, Yuu, Kokoroyomi, Anna, and Nonoko. Natsume and Hotaru had an expressionless face but they both stared at Mikan.

"Did you find out anything Kokoroyomi?" Ruka asked.

Kokoroyomi shook his head.

"I couldn't read her mind because..."

The group but Natsume and Hotaru leaned in.

"Because...?" the questioned.

"Because her mind was simply thinking of nothing or I couldn't read her mind at all," Kokoroyomi finished.

The group just fell anime style with a sweat drop at the back of their head.

"Stupid mind-reader," Natsume muttered under his breath. Unfortunately, Ruka is one of those people who Natsume calls by their real name.

Kokoroyomi just smiled and scratched the back of his head.

'I am finding out what is up with Polka-dots no matter what obstacle comes and stop me,' Natsume thought.

Unfortunately again, Kokoroyomi read his mind and grinned. He was lucky enough that Natsume didn't notice since he just walked away.

With Mikan

Mikan didn't really pay attention to her surroundings. She often sometimes bumps into someone or something but she still had a blank face.

"What am I doing?" she asked herself. "I am worrying everyone with this mood! I guess I should turn back and apologize,"

But when she was about to turn direction, she saw Persona leaning against a wall, with his arms crossed and his eyes staring holes at her. She shuddered under his gaze but she still continued walking. Her hopes were working with her...for the most part. After she was a good two feet away from Persona, she heard him talking to her. She froze on her tracks but she never dare to turn around.

"Having unwanted dreams Mikan Sakura?" he asked. "Do you want to know why are you getting these nightmares?"

It wasn't the first time that Mikan had a nightmare. But she did have the same nightmare over and over again and every time, her alarm clock is there to ruin it.

"What do you know about my nightmares?" Mikan questioned. She turned around so she was face-to-face with Persona. Persona gave her a smile. But it wasn't one of those smiles that will make anyone faint from being scared shitless. It was a smile full with...sympathy? Pity?

He stretched out a hand to her. He wouldn't be surprised if didn't take his hand but he wouldn't also be surprise if she did.

"Come," he said. "I will explain everything to you."

Mikan hesitantly raised her hand to grab his but she then stop half-way.

"Why should I trust you?" she asked harshly.

"Do what your heart tells you to do," Persona simply replied. "Don't follow what your mind is telling you what to do,"

Mikan was surprised by his sudden words. She then reached out for his hand. Persona gave her a smile. A smile or a smirk? Who knows, Persona is a mysterious man. No one knows if he fights for good or evil. He then began to lead her out of the corridors and into a clear area. He was sure that no one was watching them, but his senses were wrong. Did he want to think that no one was watching them?

Same Time Mikan Encountered With Persona

Natsume was walking around the same path that Mikan had walked on, with his hands in his pockets as usual. He then heard some conversation and decided to eavesdrop. When he heard two familiar voices, his eyes widened and he cursed under his breath. Those voices belong to Persona and Mikan.

'What is that bastard doing with the idiot?' he thought. Even in his own thoughts, he won't say her real name without a good reason. He decided to eavesdrop some more, wanting to know the answer to his question.

"Do you want to know why are you getting these nightmares?" Persona asked.

'Nightmares?' Natsume thought in disbelief. 'That's why she was being silent!? Because of a stupid nightmare!? Idiot!'

"What do you know about my nightmares?" Natsume heard Mikan asking him.

'That is a good question,' Natsume thought. He knew that Persona knows he was there eavesdropping on them, but why isn't he saying anything about it?

"Come, I will explain everything to you,"

Natsume's eyes widened more. 'Don't do it idiot!' his mind screamed. Now that's something you don't hear everyday. He couldn't take this anymore, he stole a glance and what he saw almost made him burst into flames. Mikan accepted his offer, now they are walking away to an area. He decided to follow them; he won't let Persona hurt her, not as long as he lives.

A/N: Phew, don't you just LOVE suspense? I think that's how authors/authoresses get more reviews :D Now, what will you think will happen? Will Persona tell Mikan that Natsume was following them? Will Natsume know the truth behind all of Mikan's happiness? So many question, and yet most of them will be left a mystery. Ok, I am acting like a suspect now O.o. I hope you like! It's one of my first attempts to make a story that did not come out from the manga. This was also a request from a few reviewers. You'll know what I mean; I don't want you to know just yet! Ok, OUCH! STOP POKING ME!!! I know you want to know but it must be a mystery for now! OUCH! CUT THAT OUT!!! Don't be so evil!!! DX

Ok, this question is always been ask for many stories that has suspense, tragedy, drama, or angst.

Is this story going to end happily? No one will die right?

The answer is...YES. DUH! Have you EVER read any stories with a sad ending made by ME?! No! Not in my life! Sad stories make people cry, and I don't want them to cry. DX Besides, I read my own work as well, and I don't want to go teary-eyed! So this is not a secret. It may have a tragedy beginning or drama or WHATEVER but it has a happy ending so don't worry!

Now, REVIEW!
