"Cupid at GA"
Disclaimer:
I do not own Gakuen Alice or Alice Academy.
Summary: When a cupid comes to Alice Academy, what will happen? When his/her targets were stubborn and careless of L-O-V-E, will he/she fulfill this mission? Will the raven care about the tangerines? Can a pheromone help a chained heart? Will she accept him?...
Today is just a nice, peaceful and ordinary day for every student in Alice Academy. Everyone is doing his or her rituals, routines, or whatever you call it. But something different will happen today…in the ring of the first bell… that person will enter their lives…and will make a mark on one's heart.
Dear Mr. Diary,
Here I go, please wish me luck. This will be my first day here. I hope everything would be all right, even though I know it won't. (sigh) Why do I always have to discourage myself even though what I really need is the exact opposite? Well, I should prove myself worthy of the title 'cupid' right? I hope this will end soon. I doubt that anyone here knows love's true meaning.
Boss, can I do this without my- scratch that! I know I can do it. Boss please guide my actions, I might end up dieing without fulfilling my duty.
To a place where the true meaning of love is buried deep under the Earth's crust, a cupid is sent to unlock its chamber and release its essence. They should be aware of their feelings and treasure it dear.
"Let it Begin!!"Just like everybody, our favorite brunette is on her usual routine…being late…
"Ooohhh noooo!! I'm late again!! Grrrr… If that stupid Natsume didn't blocked my way, I could've prevented the usual bumping-early-in-the-morning routine, and I could've saved some of my precious time…(she stopped)… Now that I mentioned it, it's seems strange that almost everyday I would bump into him. Maybe…(then she remembered…)(looking at her wrist watch) OH NO!! I MUST HURRY!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT…NATSUME-NO-BAKA!!"
She's running with all the adrenalin within her. She can see that she's finally close to their classroom now. She now shift to her ultra turbo mode and burst the door open…
"GOMENASAI SENSEI!!" she's gathering all her strength to speak up and hope that Jinno-sensei is in the good mood today and let her sit on her seat without giving her DETENTION. Seems like she hit the jackpot because the person that she's bowing at is not Jin-Jin, it's…
Chuckles… "Don't worry Mikan-chan, you can take your seat now." Mr. Narumi said giving Mikan an assuring smile.
"Arigatou sensei!" with a warm smile plastered on her face, she slowly raise her head only to see a beautiful young girl. She had crystal blue eyes that match perfectly with her long blue hair, which was tied in a high bun, some are let loose which covered her scuff and touched her shoulders (you can imagine Ryuuki in "Color Cloud Palace"). She got that cool yet calm aura around her. She resembles Nonoko with her appearance, and Hotaru with the cool and calm aura, but there's something else…what can it be?
Mikan didn't notice that she was spacing out. But you can't blame her, since her head is still processing the "data" being presented in front of her. Who's she? Is she a transferee or something? I don't think I know her? Her brain's processing momentum was interrupted. Why, you ask? Because the person she's been staring at SMILED, a sweet and comforting smile. It's not like other smiles. It's deep…REALY DEEP INDEED. As if they already knew each other for a long time that she could smile at Mikan like that. That smile, it has a meaning behind it. Now, is she hallucinating? Did the girl really smiled at her? That confused Mikan even more, but it also made her snap into reality.
"Uhm…Ahem! Mikan-chan, please go to your seat now so that we can start, okay?" Mr. Narumi was careful in choosing his words. He is very aware of Mikan's sensitivity and that she might take his words in the wrong way. Now, he doesn't want his "daughter" feel bad about something he said, does he? I mean, he doesn't want to offend her you know, no one does, but there are some exceptions, of course.
"How long are you gonna stand there Polka? Your making the surroundings of the blackboard black due to your ugly face." Sumire said while imitating Natsume's tone, in which she failed, and giving it a twist of her own insults for Mikan. She doesn't usually use the term "Polka" to address Mikan because she thinks that that term is to be used only by her Natsume-sama, but since he's not here at the moment, she decided to play his role for him. She also thought that Natsume is not a pervert just because he calls Mikan using the type of you know what that she's wearing, rather, she thinks that Mikan is the one that always shows Natsume her you know what…alright, panties! That's what he would always say whenever Mikan shrieks at him, for being a jerky pervert, so she believes it. She really believes in her Natsume-sama –even if Natsume would say that crows are white and sands are originally green- because she LOVE him. Is that so?
But as we know, she can't outstand Natsume's insults to Mikan…it's too…different in a way.
"Shut up Permy!!" Mikan pouted cutely as she was walking towards her seat. That made Sumire really angry! She always hated being called Permy especially by her archenemy, Mikan Sakura. She wanted to strangle her at that moment but she controlled herself not to do so. She remembered, Mikan told her before "Hey Per- "Permy, you should remember that your not getting any younger. (Smirks at her) Oh no, is that a wrinkle?" She said with a pretend-serious-face, but failed to hide the very mischievous glint on her eyes, teasing Sumire. Everyone sweat-dropped.
Hearing those words again made a vein pop out of her temple. "Hahaha, funny Sakura, maybe you should enter showbiz someday… as a comedian that is!! I'm sure with that face of yours everyone might laugh to fatality." She said in a very sarcastic manner. She then straightens her seat and glared daggers at her seatmate who's been trying hard not to even glance at her, but failed to do so. "Is there something wrong with my face?" her seatmate quickly shook her head in fear that Sumire might eat her alive.
Mikan didn't mind Sumire's last statements. She continued to walk to her seat. Then she noticed something, Hotaru's not there, and so is… Oh, so he's not here yet. Maybe he's gonna skip class again. He's always doing this during Narumi-sensei's class. It's really not new at all.
"Good morning Ruka-pyon!" She greeted the blond lad as she takes her seat next to him. Ruka smiled at her and greeted her "Good morning Mikan-chan."
"Ano, Ruka-pyon, why aren't you with Natsume today? I don't mean that you should skip class too you know, but aren't you two always together?" Mikan asked curiously.
"Well, I haven't seen him this morning yet. He's not on his room when I went there. I wonder where he is. Mikan-chan have you seen him?" Ruka is waiting patiently for her response.
"Well yeah, I've seen him, or rather bumped into him just minutes ago." Ruka giggled. "In fact, he's the reason why I'm LATE, AGAIN! (Raises her fist in front of her chest, flames are on her eyes, not literally of course) (And then, her expression calmed down a little and lowered her fist, as she turn to face Ruka and continue) You know Ruka-pyon; you're very different than your best friend. If I hadn't known you for five years now, I might think that you're gay or something."
"Eeehhh? And why's that?" came the quick reaction from Ruka.
"Because of your personalities. Ruka-pyon, you're a kind-hearted person that almost resembles a fair maiden on those fairytale books, and Natsume's just, just, just, so like a beast."
"Wait a minute, me, a maiden? And in what way might that be related to Natsume being a beast, and I being a gay? Your confusing me Mikan-chan." Ruka's blushing because of embarrassment, but he's not angry with Mikan at all, in fact, he considered her opinions as… innocent.
"You're just like 'The Beauty and the Beast' where the girl-" Mikan was cut by Mr. Narumi's voice.
"Alright everyone, as what I was saying a while ago, we have a new student who will be your classmate from now on. Now darling, you may introduce yourself now." Mr. Narumi is being his o'l cheery self again. I don't think that wearing woman's clothes suit a gay, I mean a guy. Will someone gain respect by dressing up in such a way? And to think, he's a teacher. Well, I'm just stating an opinion anyway.
"Konichiwa everyone, I'm Hariko Tanaka, but I prefer everyone calling me by my first name. I-" Hariko was about to say something but she was cut-off by Nonoko.
"Hariko-chan, what's your Alice?" Nonoko asked out loud.
"Maybe she had an Ice Alice or maybe a Pheromone Alice, it fits her well," guessed Anna.
Hariko chuckled "I think that an Ice Alice would fit my appearance, indeed, but it would surely deny my personality." she said as she gives the whole class a warm smile, but it's not the smile she gave Mikan a while ago, "You're right with your second guess though. Yes, my Alice could be classified as a Pheromone Alice." she continued.
"Really?? How does it work?" asked Anna. Excitement and curiosity filled the room. Everyone's waiting for her answer.
"Hmm... How will I explain it?" she asked herself as she lays her left arm in front of her chest, supporting the elbow of her right arm, which was raised so that her hand could reach her chin and complete the "thinking" look. She is cerebrating hard so that she could make her explanation to be understandable and brief.
"Well, some people could call my Alice 'Cupid'. Okay, to make things clear, I would just give everyone a demonstration." She said as she lightly beats her clenched fist on her open palm.
Everyone leaned forward to see her demonstration clearly.
"Wait, I would just ask everyone to sit still and whatever happen, don't move an inch." Everyone did what she said, well, even Mr. Narumi is somehow behaving himself on his table, sitting still, 'cause they know that this will be somehow appealing. Even Koko remained still even though he knew what she would do. A goofy smile is plastered on his face. He is concealing his laugh for a reason. This will be very exciting.
Hariko positioned herself like an archer and then, a blue light slowly flowed from her body and formed a bow and an arrow. The figure slowly materialized. The blue bow had some designs carved in it that looked like ancient writings and its edge was sophisticatedly colored in gold, giving the bow a legendary-bow look. As for the arrow, it was marvelously elegant as well. The tip of the arrow is colored red and was shaped like a heart, and its color is from blood red to baby-pink as its base.
She then pointed it towards Sumire's direction. Sumire is surprised to see that she is pointing that "thing" to her so she decided to speak up.
"Oi, Tanaka, what are you planning to do with that "thing"? Don't you dare make a fool out of me, or else…" shouting.
"I'd prefer Hariko, if you won't mind, and don't worry, Permy, I won't do anything to you. But the arrow will." She heard Mikan before call her that way (Permy) so, though she thinks it sounds funny, she thought it was her true name.
And without hesitation, she fired the arrow. Gracefully, it flew cutting the air it passes through. Sumire's eyes widened. She froze from her seat. What will happen to me now? Everyone is breathless. It even seemed that their heart stopped from beating as well. It's like everything came into a slow motion. The arrow was still in the air when it separated into two, or rather bisected and then formed into two identical arrows, and then, it disappeared into thin air, leaving tiny pink, crystal-like, particles behind. This caught every eye on the room. (blink) What happened, is that it? Everyone is looking at Sumire, who was still surprised by what happened.
-Sumire's POV-
What happened, is that it? I thought that she's going to kill me! Wait…I feel something strange…there's something tingling inside of me. I didn't notice that I was blushing.
What's up with everyone? Why are they staring at me? Is there something on my face? Then, I heard Tanaka said, "Please sit still everyone and remember not to move an inch."
How in the world can I do that? I don't feel comfortable here where everybody's looking at me!! But there's something else that's bothering me at that moment.
I couldn't take it anymore. My body is shivering though I felt heat rose towards my face. I couldn't take it anymore!! So I stood straight up and about to give that Tanaka a piece of my mind when I heard someone stood up as well. I turned to where that other person is, and then I saw…
-End POV-
-Mikan's POV-
Blink 3x. "W-whhooow." I couldn't help but stare at both of them. They suddenly stood up at the same time and… are my eyes deceiving me? Both of them are blushing.
They seemed to notice what they did that they slowly turned to face each other. (Again, Blink 3x) "W-whhooow."
When they finally locked their view of one another, both suddenly…
-End POV-
-Koko's POV-
Oh no, why is she staring at me? My heart was beating really fast now. I felt myself blush even more. I couldn't help myself from feeling this way, so I quickly twist my head and looked at the opposite side of the room so that I can't see her looking at me. I think she did the same. "Tch, Hariko, you've got a very disturbing Alice, you know!!" I murmured to myself.
I heard her say "So it's true that LOVE knows no rules, eyh?" I turned my gaze towards that blue-haired "cupid". She made her face look as if she's innocent, but she can't hide that amazed look in her eyes.
And to think that I was supposed to laugh at the person who is Sumire's SOUL MATE, for having a curse laid upon his soul. Damn, why am I so unlucky! This ain't fair! My future is doomed!! KAMI-SAMA, PLEASE TAKE MY LIFE NOW!!
-End of POV-
Everyone started to whisper. They still don't understand the situation. They wondered what happened to Sumire and Koko. This is getting even more fascinating by the moment. Suddenly, someone opened the door. Everyone stared at the person who entered. He seemed irritated.

Dear Mr. Diary,
You should have seen the faces of these children, especially Mikan-chan. They all seem so innocent. It also seemed that they don't care about LOVE –which discouraged me. They're already 15, yet, they seemed to be careless of their surroundings!! I know that I should consider since they're all in the stage of development.
Oh my, (sigh) Boss, this will be a tough job. It will surely be.
Well guys, did you like it? This is really my first time to write a story so be gentle with it ok? Comments and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks for reading my story and please drop a review. Arigato gosaimasu minna-san!!
