Author’s Notes.

Hey guys! Welcome to my first fanfic ever, inspired by diana.o5, an author whom I call my sensei. She was the first author who came up with the genius idea of Natsume and Mikan being Youichi’s parents. I made my own version after hers, and I dedicate this story to her. She’s a retired as a GA author, but still read her fics. I consider her as my all-time favorite GA author.

Anyways, regarding this revised version, not much has changed. I actually found it hard to edit an old fic and I can’t seem to make the way I want it. Oh well, can you please bear with it? Thanks a lot for the supporters of this fic!

CHAPTER ONE...

... AN INTERESTING CONCLUSION

Four year old, Hijiri Youichi, is a young student in the elementary division of Alice Gakuen, Class A. A genius in the whole of his grade and a part of the Dangerous Ability Types with an Alice capable of summoning demonic spirits. Despite his background and Alice, he’s a totally cute and adorable kid with slivery-gray her, emerald eyes, chubby cheeks that anyone would die just to pinch them, and with the height of 3”2, he almost looks like a doll! But despit the cute appearance, lies an attitude quite similar to someone we all know.

His so called, “Otou-chan”.

But when I say Otou-chan, I don’t mean his real Otou-san – his parents died when he was young. Got any clue? Well, do the words, “fire” and “cat” ring a bell? Youichi’s “Daddy” is none other than Alice Gakuen’s very own flame-caster, the Kuro Neko, Hyuuga Natsume.

Youichi made Natsume his official Dad or “Tou-chan” as he says it. It happened on, well... only God knows when! We don’t really mind when it happened, or how it happened. There is this one question we need to know about: Was it okay for Natsume? Being him, you think he’d disagree, right? Well he didn’t. Even Alice Gakuen’s most famous Kuro Neko has a weakness – a soft side for Hijiri Youichi, now currently know to the whole school as, his very own “son’”.

There was one other incident that happened.

Sure having a Otou-chan was okay, but it’s still not enough. There was still someone missing to complete this picture, and guess what, little Youichi was clever enough to spot and discover what the missing piece of the picture was.

Who knew that a three-year-old can make such a conclusion in such an unexpected place, in such an unexpected time and even with such an unexpected pair... well, maybe not really so unexpected.

Youichi’s class was the same as always; their teacher was absent so they had a lot of free time. He was usually bored in class because there was nothing to do and his classmates weren’t making it better.

“Youichi, wanna play with us?” asked a young girl as she walked towards the boy.

“No,” he answered dully, giving the girl this look as if hell broke loose.

“Youichi is scary!!” the young girl shouted, tears starting to fall from her eyes as she quickly ran away from him.

The silver-haired boy sighed, returning to his cool composition. “Bored...”

He gazed outside the window and took another sigh. “I wonder how Tou-chan is doing...”

Meanwhile at class B, well, it was same old, same old.

“Good morning, everyone!!” a certain brunette greeted, making a grand entrance in the classroom with her usual wide smile and cheerful voice.

“Good Morning Mikan-chan!” some of the students replied.

“Hotaru!!” the brunette squealed, charging towards her best friends with her arms wide open.

But of course, being the cunning person that she is, she took out the famous “Baka Gun” and shot the charging girl straight on the head.

The girl was sent flying of course, much to her dismay. And luckily, the wall was there to stop her, but it had a huge impact on her face, the poor thing.

She slid down the wall, leaving a “Mikan-shaped” hole. “Wahaaa!! Hotaru, you’re so mean!” the girl whined and cried.

This was yet, an entertaining scene for their other classmates. The others were laughing so hard. Some who resisted, laughed anyway. Hotaru blew the smoke that was coming from the top of her Baka Gun and continued with her business, and Yuu was panicking on how much Mikan got hurt by just that ne hit. Natsume and Ruka, however, had no interest in this whatsoever. Well maybe except Ruka who was at least a bit worried about Mikan, but Natsume, he couldn’t care less. He covered his face with his manga, and went back to Snoozeville.

While all were busy laughing and watching, no one had noticed a certain silver-haired little kid making his way in the room. He was glad that everyone was distracted, and he spotted his Otou-chan right away. As he tiptoed towards the crimson-eyed guy, he was, unfortunately, detected by Sumire.

“Oh, You-chan, so nice of you to stop by!” she squealed. Luckily it did’t draw any attention.

“Get away from me, ugly…” Youichi replied, ignoring Sumire.

“I’m not ugly…” Sumire said, silently crying waterfalls.

“Tou-chan,” Youichi muttered, tugging on the uniform of the sleeping Natsume.

Natsume peeked from his manga and saw him.

“Oh, it’s you,” he said, taking off the manga on his face while rubbing his right eye. “What are you doing here?”

“Tou-chan, that girl keeps on bugging me...” the young boy said, pointing to Sumire.

“Don’t mind that ugly hag...”

“Ugly hag?”

“That’s what you’re gonna call her from now on, alright?”

Youichi nodded and smiled.

“Hey Natsume!” a voice shouted. “Don’t teach a little kid like him those bad things!”

The two turned and saw one furious pigtailed brunette.

“Why do you care, Polka Dots?” was Natsume’s answer.

“Stop being such a pervert!” the flustered girl shouted, turning her gaze away from him.

“Hotaru-chan, what’s that?” the pink-haired girl named, Anna asked.

This attracted Mikan’s attention and she went over to Hotaru. Hotaru took out a photograph and showed it to Mikan. Her eyes shot wide open.

“Oh my gosh! Is this... Natsume?!”

“Where did you get this?!” Mikan asked out of curiosity.

The other students gathered around to take a closer look. All were speechless.

“What are you morons talking about there?!” Natsume shouted from the back.

It seemed that everyone had been holding back their laughter, afraid of what the Flame Caster might do to them. They were almost successful in holding it in, until Mikan laughed so hard all of a sudden, that everybody finally laughed out as well.

“Oh, Natsume! Look at you in this picture!” Mikan said, laughing.

Natsume stood up and snatched the picture off her hands. He turned to Hotaru and said, “Where the heck did you get this stupid picture?!”

“I told you it was taken by accident. You see I was actually chasing Ruka-kun while he was wearing his Cinderella outfit...” Hotaru started.

“HEY!” Ruka interrupted.

Hotaru shot him a glare which kept Ruka quiet, “Anyway, he slapped the camera right out of my hand and unfortunately for you, the camera fell in front of the Sakura Tree where your little scene occurs.”

It was a picture of Natsume falling down a tree. Careless much? Not on his life! You see, instead of sleeping against the trunk of the tree, he decided to rest up one of the branches of the Sakura Tree. Unfortunately, he got too comfortable and he accidentally slipped and fell. Well... Hotaru happens to be passing by with a camera on hand and Ruka just so happened to slap it out of her hand? Wow, talk about unlucky.

Natsume slapped his forehead when he remembered that actual time, but he didn’t really care since he thought no one had seen him. Well, I guess, he thought wrong.

“Wow! And you got Natsume’s funny face! He was going like ‘AHHH!’ in there!” Mikan laughed. “His eyes were so big and his mouth was—OUCH!”

Out of annoyance, Natsume’s fist made contact with Mikan’s head. Let me put it in a simpler way: He hit her on the head, HARD!

After that, he burned the picture into ashes with his very own hand.

“No point burning it. I already made other copies... fireproof copies...” Hotaru said. Clever girl as ever. (A/N: Hey, that rhymes! XD)

Natsume glared at Hotaru and everybody who laughed. Well, his “Ice Glare” worked, it caused everyone to freeze out of fright, except for Mikan and Hotaru that is.

“Oh, Hotaru, can I have a copy of that picture?” Mikan asked.

“Sure, for only fifty Rabbits...” Hotaru answered.

“Why are you asking a copy of that for?” Natsume asked, annoyed.

“Well, it’s just that you look so cute in the picture, Natsume! It’s not everyday I see Hyuuga Natsume looking so cute like that!” Mikan answered, still staring at the photo.

Surprisingly, this caused Natsume’s cheeks to turn pink. When he realized this, he looked away and covered his mouth. “Don’t go calling people cute, idiot!”

“Why not? You were so cute in here! There’s no denying it!”

“I said stop saying that, you loud-mouthed girl!!”

They hadn’t notice that practically everybody was staring at them, well mostly staring at Natsume, anyway.

“Well, what are you morons looking at?!” Natsume said, still looking red.

All had immediately looked away when Natsume went roaring. Though one silver-haired little boy had noticed something from this, something really unusual he had never seen his Otou-chan do before. He walked towards the pigtailed brunette and tugged her skirt.

“Hey.”

“What is it, You-chan?” Mikan asked, already looking worried. “I hope he doesn’t send out any ghosts...”

“Come here,” he said.

Mikan bent down. “Yes?”

Out of the blue, Youichi kissed Mikan on the right cheek. Everybody was surprised of what he did.

“Eh?” Mikan said, touching her cheek where Youichi kissed her.

“Okaa-chan...”

A loud gasp was heard from everybody in class. Mikan stared at the silver-haired boy clinging on to her arm and Natsume’s mouth just dropped wide open.

“W—What did you just say?” Mikan asked, confused.

“Tou-chan turned really red when Mikan said Tou-chan looked cute,” Youichi said, pointing to Natsume.

This caused Natsume to look away, shades of pink being seen on his cheeks.

“See, Tou-chan’s doing red face again!” Youichi said pointing at Natsume blushing face.

When Mikan was about to look at Natsume, Natsume covered his face with his manga before she could see.

“Natsume-kun, why are you covering your face like that?” Koko teased.

“And why would I blush over an ugly Polka-dotted panties girl?” Natsume annoyed.

“Oh, is Mikan really ugly, Natsume-kun? I think she’s pretty cute, don’t you think so?” Koko teased some more.

“I think Tou-chan really likes Mikan because he turned red in front of her. Ne, be my Kaa-chan,” Youichi said to Mikan.

“Hyuuga-kun, smile,” Hotaru said, focusing the videocam on his face.

“Get that stupid camera away from me!” Natsume shouted in anger.

“You-chan will call you, Kaa-chan now, okay Mikan-okaa-chan?” Youichi said cheerfully, hugging his Kaa-chan.

“U—Uhm… w—well… I… I…” Mikan hesitated.

“Why? Doesn’t Kaa-chan like it?” Youichi asked with teary-eyed.

“She agrees Youichi, don’t worry about it,” Hotaru said.

“Hotaru!” Mikan said, annoyed.

“I have a Tou-chan and Kaa-chan now!” Youichi cheered.

The class was filled with laughter. Mikan stood up and looked quite puzzled, because she hardly understands what had actually happened. As for Natsume, well... he just hid his face behind his manga and that was probably all that he did.

“Well then Mikan-chan, Natsume-kun, I guess you are permanent parents of Youichi now, huh?” Koko teased.

“Shut up!” Natsume shouted.

“I don’t get it,” Mikan said looking confused. “I know You-chan doesn’t like me, then all of the sudden he claims me to be his Mommy? Has the world turned upside-down?”

“Idiot...” Hotaru muttered, still focusing the videocam on Natsume.
