Gakuen Alice 92

Mikan askes Narumi why he's there. Narumi then collapses and Mikan jumps over the railing to go to him. Mikan notices that Narumi isn't acting normal and says that maybe she should call someone over to help him. Just as she's about to leave, Narumi grabs her and says he'll be fine with some rest. (He looks like he's in so much pain, it's sad to look at T.T).
Narumi then passes out, hearing Mikan call out "Sensei---!" a few times. He thinks to himself that he's heard "Sensei" being called out before...
We go back into Narumi's memory. It's at the time when Yuka's sensei died. Little Sakurano and Subaru are crying, calling out "Sensei---". (And older students are telling to stop, how mean!)
Later, fellow students are teasing Sakurano and Subaru again. They're defending "Sensei" because the others are talking mean about him. They are both blaming the school for everything involving Sensei's death. The other students find this as an opportunity to tattle tale on them and tell Jinno-sensei (and he shocks them both with his lightning T.T).
Meanwhile, it shows Narumi at each teasing scene. He's always there, but he doesn't do anything to defend Sakurano or Subaru. All he sees is the effect of Yuka leaving the school and questions what she believed in. He then remembers what Yuka asked him to do before she left: "Naru please! Stay at the academy...and protect the children..." He steps in after Jinno has done his work and warns the boys to consider what they say (not directly...but loud enough to hear). As Narumi is walking away, he says that even now, the boys will move on. After he leaves, the other boys continue to beat Sakurano and Subaru up. Jinno later picks the boys up and takes them back to class. (He watched the boys beat them up, how pitiful as a teacher!!!!!!!)
We return to the present, where Mikan is still holding onto Narumi's hand (and he's unconscious still). She says to herself that because he never let go of his grip, she was never able to go get help. Mikan hears someone next to her. It's Jinno, but Mikan calls him "Jinji" (><).
Jinno then notices Narumi. Mikan tells him that Narumi was acting strange. Mikan is pulled away, bringing Narumi's glove with her. This is when Mikan and Jinno see Narumi's black hand. Jinno then quickly pulls Narumi's sleeve up and sees that his whole arm is infected too. He even pulls his shirt open and sees his chest is infected.
Mikan, who looks like she's in shock, recognizes the infection as Persona's alice. (She remembers when she was infected with it, and then remembers what happened to Persona when his earring was broken.) Jinno starts to say that because he dragged this out for so long, it's become to the point that he's in serious danger. The infection has reached his heart area and the arteries have been weakened.
Mikan starts to remember when Hotaru told her about the incident where she was able to heal herself of Persona's alice with the Steal Alice. Meanwhile, Jinno is saying they need to call an ambulence. But Jinno looks at Mikan and...
...We switch to Narumi's subconscious^^. Narumi and Yuka are talking specifically about love. He can't use his own alice to sway hearts to his love anymore. He tells her that she was his first love and tell her he loves her (awwww~). Yuka, however, tells him that the feeling she has towards him is not love. She tells him to wait until the right person has been found...
Narumi wakes up. He sees Mikan crying while holding him by the arm. Jinno and Narumi watch as the black infection starts to fade away. Narumi jerks his arm away and yells at Mikan to not use that alice. Mikan doesn't give up. She grabs his infected arm again. This time, Narumi uses his free hand to punch Mikan away (and in the face). Mikan is still crying, but even again, grabs onto his infected arm.
NARUMI: Sto...
MIKAN: STOP---?! If I stop then you won't speak, idiot!!!!! If I'm hit, then I'm hit!! I don't want it to happen ever! For you to disappear from me...from everyone else...I don't want it to happen ever...!
Narumi recalls the children in his class and remembers again what Yuka told him to do: "Protect the children". Then, out of the blue, Jinno hits Narumi over the head (surprising Mikan^^). He tells Mikan to finish what she started. So Mikan finally sucks out the infection with her Steal alice and starts to cry again (probably from relief). Narumi pulls her close and hugs her (awww).
After Mikan passes out, Jinno tells Narumi that Mikan's ability can only be hidden for so long until the Principle discovers it, and then he walks away. After all that, it starts to rain. Narumi recalls that it was raining the day Yuka left the school....and that's where we end this chapter.

Gakuen Alice 91

This chapter has a colored cover. Unfortunantly it doesn't have Luna on it (so we still don't know her hair and eye color). But it features the Gakuen Alice girls of the series (except for Ruka, who also happens to be on it). They're all dressed up as princesses^^

Nobara: Princess Mermaid

Sumire: Princess Kagura

Mikan: Cinderella

Hotaru: Snow White

Misaki: Sleeping Beauty (but totally doesn't look like it)

Ruka: Thumbelina Now that we got the cover page covered, on to the real chapter~! What Luna said to Hotaru (in Mikan's body) repeats. If you all forgot what she said, she said that bringing in the Steal alice could cause trouble and cause her to lose someone special...for example...-cut. Mikan (in Bear's body comes running to Hotaru)

MIKAN-BEAR: Hotaru~~~~HOTARU~~~~~~*crying^^*

HOTARU: *Punches Mikan-Bear away^^* Mikan-Bear recovers from the hit and notices Hotaru looks really depressed and askes what's wrong. Hotaru continues to remember what Luna had told her before. HOTARU-MIKAN: Don't joke with me.

MIKAN-BEAR: Eh...? Whoa-

HOTARU-MIKAN: *hugs Mikan-Bear* It's nothing. It's okay. Hotaru tells herself that she will protect Mikan. Flashbacks of when Mikan first came to the academy also flash in Hotaru's mind. But just as they're having a good, touching scene, they hear a "Nyou~" It's the sound of their souls coming out of their current bodies~! Everyone has shuffled souls again~! Hotaru's soul is now in Bear's body. Mikan actually gets her body back this time. She sees that Hotaru still hasn't got her original body back, so she goes to help out with that. Meanwhile, we get the cycle that Natsume went through to get back to his own body back^^.

First: Ruka wants his body back, so he, in Hotaru's body, bumps into Natsume-Ruka and gets his own body back. But this makes it so Natsume is stuck in Hotaru's body

Second: Natsume-Hotaru sees his body, but now Bear is inhabiting it^^. So he fights Bear for his body back^^. So Natsume gets his body back, but Bear now has Hotaru's body to inhabit. *punch punch^^*

Natsume remembers earlier when Yuu-Natsume asked him about events that have happened, but Natsume-Ruka just walked away. But of course, this is also serving as a flashback for Yuu, who is now in Sumire's body. He tells Mikan what happened and says he's a bit concerned. Mikan leaves to go find Natsume...

Indeed, Mikan finds Natsume sitting on a bench. But when Natsume sees her, he instantly turns away with a "go away stupid" look on his face^^. Mikan is a bit angry with this, but still remembers what Yuu said about Natsume struggling with something. So Mikan grabs him, pulls him close to her, and says this

"If you're not Natsume...then perhaps you are...Bear?" (Suddenly we see a dark figure of Bear in the background^^)

Then Natsume notices that they have been handcuffed together. She figures that this is Bear, so she's happy that they finally captured him. But just when she's about to drag him with her, he pulls her back with this "menacing, evil, do-not-take-another-step-or-else-I'll-burn-you look on his face".

(A small sceen shows Ruka and Hotaru-Bear hiding behind a tree.)

Mikan, who was hit by Natsume afterall, talks with who she still thinks is Bear. She comments that he really does seem like Natsume, seeing as when he answers, his eyes look annoyed. (Natsume is getting really to hit her again.) But then she starts to confide in him. She says she doesn't know a lot of what's going on with Natsume.

MIKAN: That guy surely doesn't like me, but recently I've been thinking. Really...Why is that guy...so complicated? I don't understand. *Right here, she's remembering the Borrowing Race and the time when he hugged her from behind.*

Mikan continues to ask herself what's wrong with Natsume. Then Natsume puts his hand over her hand. *Okay fans...make the sound. Y'know...THAT sound. "Awwwwwwww~"* There's an entire page dedicated to this kawaii moment as Mikan notices he's holding her hand. It's here that she also notices that this is not Bear she is talking to. Oh my~

But you all needed that page, because the next page shows a bunch of students zooming by saying Hotaru has gone mad (because Bear is inhabiting her body).

As the students go by, Natsume walks away and we see that the handcuffs are broken. Mikan calls after him. She informs him that everyone is worrying about him and askes if he'll come to them. He calls her, "I-----diot" and says he's not going. But instead of looking upset, Mikan smiles with a bit of a relieved look on her face.

At the very, very end, Mikan hears a rustling noise behind her and sees Narumi. He looks very serious...and if you ask me, in pain...
