Chapter 1: Mikan Sakura
"Hmm… I wonder what this academy's life like. Since I enrolled last night, I only know a few things but I don't know what they mean. And what's a 'Single star' anyway?? My room's quite plain too." Mikan walked to a sakura tree to think. It wasn't time for lessons yet and she had not made any friends since she arrived at night.
-BANG- Mikan was flattened to the ground and unconcious.
"Huh?? Hey!! Are you okay?? I didn't see you there. Must have passed out... Hmm?? I've never seen this girl before, who is she?? Well, better send her to the hospital..." Natsume woke up from his nap and jumped down from the tree. Apparently, he landed on Mikan and knocked her out.
-At the hospital-
"W-Where am I? Ouch!! That hurts... what's with the headache? ...Oh yeah, something landed on me and I fainted. I wonder who brought me here. Oh no, what time is it?? Have I been unconcious for very long?? What about school!?" Mikan sat up on bed and looked around. She was completely clueless.
-Click- A boy about Mikan's age came in with a teacher. They were staring at Mikan.
"Are you feeling better? You've been sleeping for quite a while. I'm Narumi-sensei, your homeroom teacher. Oh, and this is Natsume Hyuuga, the guy who brought you here and one of your classmates. He'll be your partner from now on and will help you with things. Urm, I'll leave him to explain the details. Gotta go now, rest well!!" -Quickly Leaves-
"Urm, yeah, sorry 'bout that. I didn't see you there. Anyway, since I'm your partner... unfortunately... what do you want to know? Naru told me about you, so you can pretty much ask anything you want to know." Natsume didn't like having a partner but felt guilty so he agreed to be Mikan's partner. Narumi-sensei told Natsume all about Mikan (He somehow managed to get all that info).
"Urm, well, okay, but I'm not sure about what I need to know though. Why don't you tell me everything? I'm pretty clueless. Oh and thanks for bringing me to the hospital... urm, Natsume, right?" -Smiles- Mikan thought that she had made a new friend and was delighted.
"First of all..." He talked for a few minutes.
"...Okay, there's still stuff you need to know but for now... any questions?" Natsume finally finished that long explanation, he had never talked that long to anyone and he didn't like talking to girls. Usually people avoided him except during school events, where his alice was much desired. Mikan was new and didn't know Natsume, so she wasn't so freaked out to hear him talk or see him.
"Wow, that's a lot to remember. So Natsume, tell me about you!! Hehe, I'm interested to know more. Tell me, pleaasse!! -SMILES- Mikan was so happy to have a new friend and was naturally curious and excited.
-Surprised- No one was ever nice to Natsume from what he remembers, they always feared him... including those annoying girls from his fanclub. Mikan was the first person to smile at him. He wasn't used to it but found it amusing.
"This girl's weird, although it's her second day here and hasn't attended any lessons yet, but she should've at least heard about me. She's kinda cute when she smiles... Hey!! What am I thinking...?! ...I've already told you I'll tell you more another time. Tomorrow's your first day of lesson, since you were unconcious the whole morning. Also, I'm not that heavy, you know... how in the world did you pass out?! Anyway, hurry up and change out of those hospital clothes, I'll take you to your room since you don't know the way." Natsume was his usual cold self.
"O-Okayy"
-Next day in class-
"Good moorrrrnniiiiiiinngg class!!"
"Good morning Narumi-sensei!!" The class was exceptionally cheerful today. They actually greeted Narumi-sensei!
"Today we have a new student here at Alice Academy. I hope you'll welcome her. Her name is Mikan Sakura, she's started off with a rank of Single. She was supposed to start yesterday but there was a little accident on the way, hehe..."
"Good morning everyone, I'm Mikan Sakura!! -Bows- Nice to meet you all."
"Oh and her partner is... Natsume Hyuuga!! Mikan-chan, you can take the seat at the back with Natsume-kun, he'll be able to guide you easier."
-Walks to the back of the class- "Hmm? Where's Natsume? Narumi-sensei said he sits here... so where is he?!"
Suddenly... "H-HUUHHH!!" The whole class was talking and shouting. They were so loud that they shocked Mikan.
"Wah... this class is so scary. Hehheh, they almost gave me a heart attack!!"
"Narumi-sensei, did Natsume-kun actually agree to be her partner?? He doesn't like having a partner, let alone someone sitting next to him!!" Sumire was surprised and heart-broken. She, like the other fan-girls of Natsume, liked Natsume a lot even though she was also a little scared of him.
"Why yes, he did allow it. There is a reason for that. Why don't I leave it up to Natsume-kun to tell you guys. Knowing him, he might not like it if I told everyone. So why don't you all ask him once he comes to class?? He skipping my lesson as usual, i see... And that is of course if anyone dares to..."
"Why's everyone shocked?! Why wouldn't anyone dare to ask Natsume? Does Natsume really hate partners?? He seems so nice... slightly moody... but otherwise nice... Urm, excuse me, where is Natsume?? Why's everyone shocked and scared of him?" Mikan just had to ask someone, she called to the person sitting infront of her.
"Oh... well, I'd better not tell you, hehhe, I don't think Natsume-kun would like it, why don't you ask him? He should be somewhere quiet, he doesn't like crowds that much. By the way... Hi! I'm Yu Tobita, you can call me class rep... My alice is Illusion. How about you?"
"I have the Nullification alice, I heard it's rare... but I don't think it's very practical. I like it very much though."
"I see. Ah, and are you okay from that accident Narumi-sensei mentioned? What happened?"
"Oh that, I was early for class so I took a walk and went under a tree to rest. Then suddenly something, more like someone... landed on me and everything turned black."
Everyone was crowding around her by then... "Hey new girl!! ...YOU TRICKED NATSUME-KUN INTO BEING YOUR PARTNER, DIDN'T YOU?? I CAN SEE IT NOW, IT'S ALL CLEAR TO ME... YOU SCHEMING GIRL!!" Sumire was furious and jealous. She jumped to conclusions as she couldn't think of a reason why Natsume wouldn't mind her being his partner.
"U-Uh, hh-uuhh-h?? I-I didn't do anything... and who are you anyway??" -Awkward-
"HMPH!! I am Natsume-kun's girlfriend, Sumire Shouda, Natsume-kun always take long walks with me..." -Eyes sparkle-
"Hey Sumire!! What girlfriend?? Natsume-kun hates you for irritating him all the time, or did you forget that he burnt your hair last week?! ...Mikan-chan, don't listen to her, those 'always take long walks' were just once! It was more like a run, too. Natsume-kun ran away from her and the other girls on Valentine's day. That was the only day they weren't afraid of him. Hehehehe, Valentine's day is the one day that boys are afraid of girls, HAHA. Also, I'm Mochiage, everyone calls me Mochu though." An almost bald boy walked up. He enjoyed mocking Sumire, especially infront of a new girl.
"M-MOCCHHUUUUU!!" Sumire was so furious she looked as if she was producing fire in her eyes!
"Ah... Nice to meet you, Mochu. And sorry if I made you misunderstand me, Sumire. But I really didn't do anything... I hardly know what's going on now!! 'Burnt your hair'...? Natsume has the Fire alice??" Mikan still doesn't know anything about Natsume.
-Lunch-
"So this is the Single rank food I get? Better than I thought though, oh well..." Mikan stared at her lunch.
"Oh that's considered terrible, not good... especially if you compare it with the Triples and Specials. Class rep is a Triple 'cos of his Illusion alice. Mind if I join you?" A smiling boy was standing diagonally behind her.
"O-Oh, sure. D-Did you just read my mind? That must be fun!! Hehhehee... But isn't it like an invasion of privacy??" Mikan laughed.
-Sits- "Yeah... I get that a lot. You can call me Koko! Everyone does. I'm a Double star."
"Nice to meet you Koko!! Yay!! My 5th friend!!"
"Wah... You just count the number of people's names you know and consider them your friends?? That's funny..., ...hmm, so Natsume-kun was your 1st friend? He fell on you?! Wow..." Koko read her mind again. He couldn't really help it, really. He randomly reads minds but he can also read minds when he wants to.
"Well, yeah!! But I don't get it? What's wrong with Natsume? He seems really nice... and can you keep it a secret? I heard he doesn't like people announcing stuff about him." -Scoops and eats food-
"Okay, I'm won't say a word. But you'll also keep this from Natsume-kun whatever I tell you right?? I don't want to be toast, literally..."
"He has the Fire alice and he's always unhappy about something and has a bad temper. He's a Special star and he's in the Dangerous class. He doesn't talk much and if he doesn't like a teacher, he doesn't come to class. Once, I accidentally read his mind and found out he's always been hanging around the sakura tree. Maybe that's how he landed on you. He also..." -Scoops food-
-Sweatdrop- "...H-Heyy Bikan-chan... boo du dense an anbry auga?? It's just like Natsume-kun's when he's angry... Uh oh... I'm so dead!! Last time Natsume-kun found out someone talked about him, that poor guy landed in the hospital for weeks but he wasn't punished!!" -Chews food-
"Hmm?? What did you say??" Mikan obviously didn't feel anything.
-Turns head around slowly- "P-PPAAAATTT-TTTUUI-IIII" -Spits out food- "AAAHHHH-HHH NATSUME-KUN!! W-We were j-just talking ab-bout you, hehheheh... Oh look at the time, gotta run!! Bye Mikan-chan..." -RUNS-
"Why that little... I oughtta bur-" Natsume looked at Mikan.
Mikan was smiling at Natsume. "Where were you today?? You didn't go to any class!! I was wondering what happened. I asked around but nobody dared to tell me, why's that?"
"...H-Hurry up and finish your food. Meet me at the sakura tree, we'll continue from yesterday." -Walks off hastily-
"Okaayyy"
-Under the tree-
"Alright... there are 4 types of alice shapes, Childhood, Diffuse, Intermittent and Limitless. Childhood means that you'll only have your alice as a kid and once you're older, it's gone and you'll be force to leave this academy. Diffuse is when you get to use your alice forever but it is off low power. Intermittent is almost something like that... you have your alice forever at quite a high power but each time you use it only last for a short time. Limitless is obviously with unlimited alice power but each time a person uses his or her alice, their lives're shorten. Use your alice too much and you'll..., ...well, that is IF you have that alice shape..." Natsume sensed something...
-Tears drop- "That's, so ssad... they'll suffer and feel pain if they use their alice a lot, right? Their friends would be so upset if they knew..." Mikan was over-reacting and started to cry. She couldn't stand seeing (or hearing) people get hurt.
"H-Hey!! What're you crying for?! Hey!! Stop crying already!! No one's dying yet, you know... Man, I can't stand tears!" Natsume also over-reacted and started scolding Mikan. Natsume seems cold on the outside but he was actually very warm and caring on the inside. He didn't want to see his only friend crying. "What is up with her?? I tell her one small thing and she starts crying... She's a really kind girl, huh??"
"I'm sorry, Natsume... I just don't want anyone to get hurt... Anyway, why don't you go on and tell me about other stuff I need to know?"
"...Okay, there are also Control devices that are customly made for certain people. Different alices get different Control devices which can be in forms from jewelry to clothes. They also emit tracking signals for the academy to find us should anyone try to escape. Control devices can only be removed by the person who put it on for you. Those devices will seal and lock away your alices within it so that you do not lose control over it or to prevent you from using at all. Some of these dreadful devices are used as punishment, if you wear them and disobey the teachers, somehow, the devices can inflict pain on you. The most powerful Control device is the Cat mask, it sends electricity to the body as punishment..." Natsume didn't want to tell Mikan about the devices as she might ask him about his, but he did, anyway.
"That's horrible!! Punishing students like that is just too harsh... Hmm, well... if the students deserve it then... there should be a lighter punishment anyway! ...Oh my, Natsume, would you tell me about you?? I seem to be over-reacting again, hahaha... and everyone in class was making quite a big fuss over you..."
"...I'm a Special star and I'm from the Dangerous class..."
"Oh yeah, Koko told me that already. But I don't get it, I thought Fire alice was in the Latent class?? Could Natsume really be dangerous?? ...No, he's my partner, I should trust him."
"Why that Koko...!! ...My al- better not tell her, she might burst to tears again... I mean I am the only one who has control devices in the Elementary school. 2, actually, 'cos fire is wild, and dangerous." Natsume lied about that to prevent Mikan from crying again. He had 2 Control devices as he was seen as a threat to the school.
"Oh, is that why everyone think's you're scary and dangerous?? I'd better go tell them. It's not your fault too, no wonder you don't have many friends, but don't worry, I'll fix that, I AM your friend after all. Just leave it up to me. I'll think of something." -Gets up and skips off-
"Huh?! What does she mean by that??"
