Our Graffito
It was the big clean up day in Gakuen Alice. This event happens after the Christmas ball.
"Mizuki!" a pitchy female voice called.
Looking up from what she's doing, her bright crimson eyes sparkling with happiness met with those of her senpai.
"Aoi-senpai!" the brown-haired girl said as she ran to her senpai.
"Ne Mizuki-chan, you ready to clean up in tokuryoku-kei room?"
"Mm!" the cheerful girl said as she walked with her senpai along the hallway, to go to their room.
When they got there, the entire Tokuryoku-kei students were slacking off; some sleeping, some messing up the place even more and some or rather one….. is staring into thin air.
When her senpai lit up a fire on her hand, everybody got quiet and dropped what they're doing.
"What do you think you're doing?!" she said, with a smile engraved on her face but anger is evident in her voice.
Suddenly, a group of ghosts appeared in front of her face.
1…
2…
3…
"Ahhh!" the raven-haired girl screamed at the top of her lungs causing the fire to land on someone's hair.
"My hair's on fire! Put it off! Put it off!" someone said as he ran around the room.
"Youichi, you're going to pay for this! Mizuki help me!....... (continues running) You just watch Youichi! Someday I'll- Ahhhhhhh!!!" Mizuki's senpai said as she continuously ran around the room because of the increasing ghosts following her.
"You talk too much," the silver-haired lad said as he returned to spacing out.
Then, a man appeared on the doorway which goes unnoticed by all the students because of the commotion happening except for Mizuki.
"Tsubasa-sensei!" Mizuki shouted as she excitedly ran towards their sensei. This caused the commotion to stop. The only sound heard were the splash of water and the raven-haired girl's screaming. Youichi then unsummoned the ghost and caused the girl to stop.
"What's happening here?" he said while carrying Mizuki in his arms.
"It's all Youchi's fault!" the raven-haired girl said as she pointed an accusing finger to him.
Tsubasa just nod his head, already fond of this commotions happening every time he comes here. He can't be angry for this is always what happens back to the old days when Mizuki's mother was here. The brunette in his arms just reminded him of her. What a sacrifice those two made just to save the life of their daughter.
"Okay, we'll just clean up first and then we'll slack off."
"Hmph… you're ordering us to clean up while you just slack off here."
"Don't worry, Aoi. I'll help this time."
"Arigato, sensei. So let's start now?"
"Hai!" the entire class said.
Everyone get each of them a cleaning material and started cleaning.
"Can someone help me with this cupboard?" Mizuki said as she failed moving off the thing.
Tsubasa and Aoi came to help her as she yelled, " Youchi, get to work!" when she saw him drinking a soda while reading a magazine. 'When did that guy do anything besides spacing out?'
And they finally moved the cupboard.
"Ooohhhh! There's so many graffiti behind this cupboard," Aoi said.
"Let me see! Let me see!" someone shouted.
"Me too! Me too!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Eh? Tsubasa-senpai is in this graffiti too, look! Oh, and Misaki-sensei too! And principal-san too! Oh! Here's Aunt Hotaru! Why is she in here?" Mizuki said continuously.
"Here's big brother too! And Mikan-nee-chan!"
"Eh? Natsume and Mikan made their own graffito? Let me see!" Tsubasa said and this caught Youichi's attention.
And there laid the graffito of an umbrella and below it were the names, Mikan and Natsume.
"So it's a couple?" Mizuki asked.
"Hai. And there's a story behind this graffito," Tsubasa said.
"I want to know-" Mizuki was cut off when someone shouted, "Look! Azuma-kun found something!"
"Sugoi! Another discovery!" they said but before they took a look on it, they heard a bang.
"Ah! Mizuki-chan help me!"
They looked towards the doorway and found the twins running around the room.
'Rika-chan is just like her mother,' Tsubasa sighed as he watched the sight of the two, remembering the rookie.
As the fight stopped, Mizuki ran to Ryo and comforted him.
"Are you alright, Ryo-kun?" she said as she neared her face to him. Ryo blushed and this moment will not go unnoticed by Rika as a flash of a camera was seen.
Then Rika's eyes sparkled with delight because of the picture.
"Another blackmailing picture again," Aoi said as she saw Rika waved it in front of her brother's face and all of them nodded their heads.
Ryo attempted to snatch the picture away from her but Rika put out her enormous Butt Puncher 5000.
"Touch me and your butt is dead," she said.
"Rika-chan! I'm so glad you came!" she said as she attempted to hug her. But to her dismay, Rika used her invention against her.
"Oh look! It's You-kun! He's so cute! I could just pinch his cute little chubby cheeks!" someone shouted.
"Hey! That's unfair! You opened the album without me!" she said as she sped up to them, ignoring the pain her butt's going through.
As they were busy looking at Youichi's picture's when he's a child, a flash of camera was seen again. They turned to Rika who's already taking pictures of them.
"Hey who are these raven-haired junior and brunette?" Azuma asked pointing to particular photo.
When the question was heard, Aoi and Youichi just kept quiet and continued looking for they know those two.
"Baka! It's already written there below! Look."
Mikan Sakura and Natsume Hyuuga
"Eh? The names are the same to that graffito too!" Azuma said as he pointed to the particular graffito.
"Hai, and you know I heard that there's a couple that came from Junior level and they had a daughter. When the day of the birth of their daughter came, there's this organization called AAO who came here and attempted to snatch their daughter away because of her powerful alices: Nullification, Stealing, and Fire- which is just the same with Aoi-chan's."
"Eh?! But I thought that a person can only have a maximum of two alices?"
"That's why the AAO wants her so much."
"And I also heard that the boy is the representative when they were in elementary division."
"Well, we're getting serious here people! I believe that it's only one of the myths here in the academy. Besides, a person can only have a maximum of two alices."
"Sugoi! Rina-chan, you know several things in this academy!"
They're time with the photo album is cut because of the bell- meaning it was their lunch break.
"Rika-chan, let's go to the cafeteria together!" the 10-year-old brunette said but the story she just heard a while ago is bothering her.
"Just don't touch me with your dirty little hands, sore-butted girl," was the girl's reply.
When all the Tokuryoku-kei students are gone, Aoi and Youichi looked at each other and nodded as they walked towards their sensei.
"Sensei, I know you know something about that story," Aoi said as she put a hand on their sensei's shoulder.

The Past Revealed (This is the part where you'll understand the story more.)
"I thought the last name was a coincidence but I never thought that she's their daughter."
"No, it's not a coincidence. That story is still fresh in my mind despite the years that passed. Those two made great sacrifices just to protect their daughter. I remember when principal-san- who used to be a teacher here, came to the Tokuryoku room with a sad smile on his face."
Flashback
"Happy birthday, Mikan-chan!"
"Arigato minna-san!" Mikan said as she bowed to show her gratefulness.
Then the cake being carried by Natsume was now in front of her.
"Make a wish, Mikan," he emotionlessly said with a small smile on his face as he lit the candles with his alice.
"Since when did you start calling Mikan-chan by her name?" Tsubasa asked, with a grin on his face but he ended up being elbowed by Misaki on his stomach.
"Since…ahem...they…ahem…did…ahem…it." Koko said with fake coughs between each word.
Natsume's eyebrow twitched but he just ignored the mind reader, since this day is a special day.
"C'mon baka, hurry up and make a wish," Hotaru climbed in.
"Ehehe… you're just excited to eat that cake….." Koko said softly but that statement didn't pass through Hotaru's ears. She put out her newly-improved Baka Gun 9000 with much harder impact.
Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!......
Closing her eyes, Mikan wished and blew the candle.
"Arigato gozaimasu, minna-san!" Mikan said again.
"You already said that phrase like a million times already Mikan!" Sumire said.
Everyone clapped while singing a happy birthday song to her.
'Kami-sama, I thank You for the wonderful friends You gave me. Please keep them safe. And even though I know it's impossible for the academy to change in the future, just for our daughter, please let it be. Please guide Mizuki-chan wherever she go.'
Unknown to Mikan, while she's reciting her prayer in her mind, Koko is reciting it loudly for everyone to hear.
"Who's Mizuki-chan?" they said in unison.
"Eh? Oh, that's the name I want to give to our daughter- wait- how did you know that?"
All of them pointed to Koko.
"But what about if it's a boy?" Tsubasa asked and Misaki elbowed him again.
"Ouch! I'm just asking. Sheesh…Ouch!. Fine! I hope it's a girl!"
Suddenly, Natsume noticed the pain in Mikan's face.
"Are you okay?"
"It's nothing-ahh!" Mikan said as she screamed in pain.
"It's time!" Narumi said with a hint of panic in his voice.
"Just a while ago, this baka is smiling and now she looks like she's having constipation," Hotaru said.
"Shut up Hotaru! Ahhhh! This is not a good time!" Mikan screamed.

"Congratulations! You have a baby girl!"
The school nurse gave the baby to Natsume and Mikan and a smile was written on their faces as they looked at the little angel on Mikan's arms. Then she passed the baby to Natsume carefully.
"So you can experience how joyful it's like with your daughter in your arms," Mikan said as she flashed a smile to Natsume.
"Mizuki…" he traced.
BANG!

A cliffhanger haha… Don't worry I'll update the next chapter immediately. This will only be a 3 or probably 4-chaptered story. You'll know the changes that happened in the academy on the next chapter.
Thanks for those who have read this. I hope you'll leave a review!
