Crimson: This is a short drabble or so I thought. Please read and review. I was inspired by Ruka's words in the latest chapter of the manga that's why I wrote this.
Mikan and Natsume: CrimsonCinnamon Eyes does not own Gakuen Alice!
Summary: "I think I already knew the reason why I was born in this world"---"And I'm the reason"
Connected by a Bond
"You are the reason why I was born in this world and I knew that somehow you feel the same way"
"Because even before we are born we're already connected by a bond"
-_-CrimsonCinnamon Eyes-_-
Since I was ten I keep asking myself why I was born in this world. They always said that there's a reason why people were born in this world. And also there's a reason why you were born. But still I can't help asking myself. What am I doing? Talking to you while you don't even know me! I'm Mikan Sakura, age sixteen and a high school student of Gakuen Alice, the school for Alices.
The high school principal is actually my uncle. And since I was ten I was transferred here. I used to be a bubbly, cheerful and a happy-go-lucky girl but I changed into an emotionless, cold and a loner if you want to say it.
My uncle and my best friend, Hotaru were worried about me but now I think they knew the reasons why I became like that. I was once kidnapped by the group called AAO or Anti-Alice Organization then I was trained to be their best weapon against Gakuen Alice but since that time I was aware of the AAO and planned to kill them all but unfortunately some of them escaped.
Because of that training I became what I am right now. I should stop telling you all this things. I have to go to class now.
-_-
I walked in our classroom and saw that everyone is gossiping but they all went quiet when I walked inside the classroom. I saw them looked at me but once I glared at them they all went back to what they were doing.
I saw my friends walked to me and they smiled at me I can't help myself but put a small smile in my face. They were the only one who can make me smile. I forgot to introduce my friends. The girl with pink hair is Anna and the girl with midnight blue hair is Nonoko and when these two are together they were like a twin. The girl with black short hair is my best friend, Hotaru. The boy with glasses is Yuu or Iinchou since he's the class representative. Koko and Kitsuneme both have blond hair but Koko always has that goofy smile on his face and Kitsuneme's eyes seem always closed. The girl with deep green hair that was permed or curled at the end is Sumire. Ruka also has blonde hair but he has cerulean blue eyes and always carries a bunny with him and not to mention he's Hotaru's boyfriend.
Just then our gay teacher walked in. He was babbling about something but the next word he said caught my attention.
"We're going to have a new student!" he said and just then a boy with messy raven hair and tantalizing crimson eyes walked in. He was wearing the school uniform but his tie is not properly tied.
I saw him staring at me and for some reason I stared back at him only to be interrupted by my freak girl classmates.
"KYAAAAAAA!" they all shouted and we have to cover our ears to prevent it from bleeding.
Mr. Narumi looked at me with pleading eyes; I used my telepathy Alice on him. "What do you want?" I asked him through my Alice and again he had that pleading eyes.
"Please stop them! I have to go to a meeting and I don't have time to stop them so, please can you do it for me?" he said of course through my Alice. I sighed and he smiled at me.
"Thank you Mikan-chan! I have to go now or your uncle will scold me!" he exclaimed before walking out of the room. Everyone was busy that they didn't notice Narumi was gone. The boy is still standing at the front and looking bored.
I called my friends to come to me through my telepathy Alice and soon they were in front of me. I saw the boy raised his eyebrow obviously it's because of us. I walked to the front and again he was staring at me. Our classmates didn't notice us until we reached him.
"Get in my back" I told him and he raised his eyebrow again.
"And why would I do that?" he asked and I sighed. I looked at Hotaru and the others then they nodded at me and grabbed the new student with them.
Our classmates are still squeaking and shouting that is because I asked Iinchou to put an illusion of the new student in front of them so that I can use my Alice on them without hurting them and without them knowing that it's me.
I started to use my pheromone Alice on them and soon they were affected by my Alice. I hate using this Alice it makes me feel like my old self.
"Hush, hush stop now my little children" I said to them in a sisterly way and they nodded their head.
"You can do whatever you want today as long as you don't bother our new student, ok?" I said to them in the same way and again they nodded their head.
"Now off you go" I exclaimed and they all walked out of the classroom.
I sighed and Hotaru walked to me. I smiled at her to reassure her that I'm fine. The gang is now in front of me and looking at me worried. I smiled at them again which is rare for me but because they're my friends I can smile around them. The new transfer student walked to me and again for the umpteenth time he raised his eyebrow.
"What's with your eyebrow?" I asked him and he smirked.
"Nothing, why did you do that?" he asked and I sighed. I noticed that I'm sighing too much today.
"That stupid teacher pleaded at me" I said with my monotone voice.
"But I didn't hear him say anything" he said.
"Through my Alice" I said to him and again he raised his eyebrow.
"You're a multi-Alice" he said that's more like a statement rather than a question.
"You could say that. What's your name? We need to go to that stupid teacher and ask where you're going to sit and who's going to be your partner" I said to him and he nodded his head.
"Natsume Hyuuga and you are?" he asked and I looked at them they all nodded their head.
"Mikan Sakura" I said and the others introduced themselves.
"I'm Anna Umenomiya and this is Kitsuneme, my boyfriend" Anna said to him and smiled.
"Nonoko Ogasawara and this is Yuu Tobita, my boyfriend" Nonoko said after.
"Ruka Nogi and this is Hotaru Imai, my girlfriend and Mikan's best friend" Ruka said to him.
"Sumire Shouda and this is Kokoro Yome or Koko for short" Permy said and he nodded at them.
"Well then let's go!" Anna and Nonoko exclaimed together.
I looked at them and signaled them that I will use my teleportation Alice. They hold hands and I grabbed Natsume's hand. I saw him raised his eyebrow. Ruka then holds his other hand. Soon light engulfed our bodies then we're in my uncle's office.
-_-
I saw uncle standing in front of his desk and seem to be waiting for us. I walked to him and kissed him in the cheek. The others greeted him except for the new student.
"Narumi-sensei, come out now I know you're there" I said and the others giggled well except for Hotaru.
"You're really sharp Mikan-chan" Narumi said while coming out of the door in the right side of the office.
"Now tell who's going to be his partner and where he's going to sit and for the last time used your own pheromone to calm them down 'cause I am not going to use it again" I said to him emphasizing the word 'not'.
"He-he-he, sorry about that Mikan-chan" he said and I turned back at him.
"Natsume, you're new partner will be Mikan-chan and you're going to sit beside her!" I heard him said and I turned around to glare at him.
"Do whatever you want just don't bother me. I'm going now" I said to them and started walking away but Kitsuneme asked me.
"Are you going there Mikan? What are we going to do with the new kid?" he asked and I answered him with my back facing them.
"Yes, I am going there and you can tour him around the school. You can all go to Central Town but call me if you will so, I can catch up with you" I said to them and I felt that they nodded their head.
I continued walking away and went to my favorite place, the sakura tree. If I have problems I always go here and somehow whenever I'm here I feel relax. I felt someone's presence nearby and then the footsteps I heard earlier are coming closer and closer until it stops beside me.
I knew that it's not Hotaru or any one of them. It was the new student. I wonder what he's doing here and how come he knew that I'm here? Don't tell me that he's following me ever since I walked out of uncle's office.
"What are you doing here Hyuuga?" I asked him and he was not surprised at all. I felt him sat beside me and looked at the sky.
"Nothing, why are you here?" he asked and I looked at him but soon I too looked at the sky.
"This is my favorite place and no one knew about this place except for the gang. I feel relax here. Do you want to come with me in Central Town? It seems that you ditch the gang and to think that they're going to tour you around the school" I said to him.
"Sure" he said and I stood up he too stood up and we started to walk away. There's no student around since it's still school time well except for our classmates but I don't have to worry about them since they're still under my Alice and it will only wear off after classes.
-_-
Natsume doesn't talk to anyone except for the gang. In just a couple of days he has already a fan club not only in high school but also in middle school. You can hardly say that we're friends because all we did is argue with each other. But whenever I will see a girl flirting with him or let alone talking to him I get furious.
I was sitting in my sakura tree peacefully until I felt him sat beside me. I didn't look at him or even talk. He doesn't mind all these things. Although I feel comfortable of this silence I started to talk to him.
"Natsume, do you know the reason why you were born in this world?" I asked him and I saw in the corner of my eye he looked at me and raised an eyebrow. But nevertheless he answered.
"I don't know for now. And I think I'm near to knowing the reason" he said to me and I remained emotionless.
"You know what? I always ask myself why I was born in this world but still up until now I can't find an answer" I said to him and he looked at me as if he saw something freaky.
"Want to come with me? You have to relax and maybe you will find the answer while we're exploring or walking if that's what you called it" he said and this time I'm the one who looked at him. He stared at me and I can't help myself stared back at him. I feel butterflies forming in my stomach and I don't know what it means.
I looked away and hid my blush under my bangs. I noticed him he gaze the other way around and sighed.
"I'll come with you and we're only going for a walk" I said to him after I calmed down. For a moment I saw him smile but soon I shrug it because he stood there emotionless as ever but his eyes betrayed his façade.
He grabbed my hand and I looked down because I can feel heat rushing to my cheeks. I breathed deep and released it. He looked at me worried and I smiled at him one of my rare smiles to reassure him. He looked away and I saw his neck turning into a light pink. I wonder if he was blushing. Oh well I better enjoy this 'walk' and think about the reason.
-_-
I was lying at my bed still thinking about the reason why I was born in this world. But as I was thinking of the main reason Natsume's image suddenly popped on my head. Why did I see his face? We've been frenemies this past few months but still whenever I'm with him I can feel butterflies forming in my stomach and sometimes I felt happy just to be with him. I get frustrated every time I saw him with other girls some may say that is jealousy but still I want to confront the girl and break its neck.
I unconsciously stood up and got my robe. I'm still thinking about the reason why his face suddenly popped on my head. I'm really getting a headache from all this thinking. Well, you couldn't blame me for thinking about different reasons and to think again I'm saying think oh well, my first reason is not yet solved and again there's this reason about what I truly feel about Natsume and the last reason I'm thinking is why did I suddenly think of him when I was still thinking about my first reason. Waah!! I'm getting a really bad headache from all this things.
I stopped walking when I reached my favorite place. I sat down and leaned at the trunk. I relax a bit and let out a breathe that I didn't notice I was holding back. I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them shortly.
"I think I already knew the reason why I was born in this world" I said to myself when I heard the voice I was longing for to hear.
"And I'm the reason" he said and I looked up at the tree only to see him sitting at its branch.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him and he jumped at the tree. He sat close beside me and also leaned at the trunk.
"I can't sleep so I decided to go here and I had a feeling that I will see you here. It turns out to be true because you're here" he said and I looked at him.
"You're right, you are the reason why I was born in this world and I knew that somehow you feel the same way" I said to him and he stared at me closely before a smile lit at his face.
"Because even before we are born we're already connected by a bond, bond that no one could break, a bond that drew us closely when we finally met each other, a bond that you and I knew led us to this wonderful feeling" he said and I stared at him in the eyes.
"When did you------" I started but I was cut off by him.
"Since the day I saw you. I already knew that you're the one destined for me and you're the reason why I was born in this world same goes for you" he said and for the first time in my life I smile, a true smile to be exact.
I hugged him and he hugged me back. I felt him stroke my hair before whispering to my ears. I blushed and I poke him in the shoulder. He laughed and I can't help but laughed too. He looked at me and leaned down to kiss me. I kissed him back and my hands flew to his neck. He started nibbling my lower lip asking for entrance and I allowed him. We had a battle for a couple of minutes but soon surrender for we are calling for air.
"I love you" he said and again I smiled at him.
"I love you too" I said and he smiled at me.
"You should smile a lot, it suits you but starting today I forbid you to smile at other guys except for the gang" he said.
"You're so possessive and you don't have to worry for my smile will only be for you and yours forever" I said to him and tiptoed to give him a peck but it only resulted for him to deepen the kiss. I smiled mentally and can't help thinking that all the reasons I was trying to figure out was all connected.
Natsume is right. We're connected by a bond even before we are born. He became the light that I've been longing for to see since the day the old Mikan was gone and I'm sure that little by little the old Mikan they once knew will be back.
