3rd P.O.V-Special Class
Mikan was so excited! It was a new day at the school with her friends and fellow alices', but today there would be a shift in their usual schedule of classes and alice related mayhem.
There were new students here! Specifically the special class where all the people with weird or different skills that just didn't fit in with the other types of alice. These two certainly fit the bill.
They were practically opposites in every way imaginable, the perfect representation of Yin and Yang twins. A girl and a boy, both were in formal kimonos, the girl wearing white with a black sash, and the boy wearing black with a white sash.
Their eyes were mixed match, perfect mirrors of one being purple and the other a golden yellow, even their hair was different. With the males hair being short and emerald green while the others' was long, going down to her midback in the shade of fuchsia.
In unison the two bowed, stating their names. "I am Fan Ling." Said the girl. "And I am Ying Ling." Stated the boy. "It is a pleasure to meet you." They wore blank expressions, in each of their hands was a bowl of what looked to be fortune cookies.
The pair had successfully creeped out the class, many were rather reluctant to introduce themselves to the odd duo. Even Mikan who was usually the special class representative in terms of meeting and greeting new friends kept her distance.
"We have brought you-"
"Cookies we have made-"
"Ourselves. We hope-"
"That you enjoy them."
At the sight of deliciously made cookies, not too many were able to refuse the generous offer. Especially since those that didn't weren't given much of a choice. "Have a cookie." Ying approached Specs, still holding out his bowl. "No thanks, I'm not that hungry."
As if not hearing the older students reply Ying takes another step towards him. "Have a cookie." A little more force was in the new classmates' tone, making the glasses wearing boy a little nervous. "Sorry but I said I'm-not-" Ying took another menacing step forward.
"Have. A. Cookie!" It was heavily implied that an 'or else' was attached to the demand. Sniffling a bit, Specs took a cookie and ate one, being sure to silently read the fortune under Yings watchful gaze.
Tears were in his eyes, it was safe to say he was intimidated. Fellow students left and right took them, either wearing expressions of sadness or relief. It was all up to fate as to what fortune one would get.
Misaki and Hotaru, and pres had received decent fortunes, Natsume, Foxeye had unfortunately had the odds not in their favor. "Would you like a cookie?" Mind Reader was...reluctant.
"Um no thanks." He was sweating, he KNEW what would happen if he opened it. However his hesitation went unnoticed, or in general the siblings didn't care. NO one refused the Yin Yang Twins. "Have a cookie." Both were slowly walking towards him, each step more menacing then the last.
The intensity of their calculated gazes made Mind Reader very nervous. "N-no seriously I'm good!" Neither. Backed. Down. "Take a cookie." He heard their thoughts, the siblings were starting to grow frustrated with him.
Each bowl practically thrusted in his face. "NO!" He smacks them away, a few of the homemade treats falling to the floor. "I don't want my fortune to come true!" Fan and Ying froze suddenly, their expressions still as blank as a canvas.
Slowly, the brother and sister looked at each other. "Did you hear that...brother?" He nodded. "Yes. If I heard right, then this boy, knows what our cookies-what our alices do." Fans face morphed shifting to a harsh glare.
"I've heard of a boy around our age with a mind reading ability, I question...how many dark secrets have you found and kept in your little archive of information as blackmail material?"
Ying places a hand on her shoulder, turning towards his classmate. "Even worse...how many times has he exploited those secrets?" He could hear her threats deep within herself. "Karma pays back in full."
Just daring him to try and probe deeper. But that wasn't the scariest thing he's dealt with-no, it was the other sibling. Ying, he was projecting all sorts of misfortunes in his mind.
Thumb tacks falling into drinks, untied shoelaces, tripping on a flight of stairs, dropping his favorite meal, failing one of his exams, all of theses little things that though on their own seem simply minor, when added up lead to terrible, painful circumstances.
"Please...have a cookie." Unable to withstand the demonic auras coming from them, he takes it. Though he tries to walk away without opening or reading it, Ying, doesn't let it happen. "Eat. The cookie. READ. The Fortune." Gulping he gingerly does as demanded.
Grateful as he got good luck, glad to see he wouldn't be dealing with falling plant pots. But as he walked away, eager to flee from the crazy two, Fan noticed her other half grinning.
All she had to do was look at him to know what he did. "You put your alice into the cookie regardless of what it said." The sparkle in his eyes didn't disappear even when he dramatically denied her claim. All he had to do was mouth his negative fortunes and they'd happen.
The more Mind Reader saw in his mind, the worse his luck became even though his sweet treat foretold good luck. "He should've just taken the damn thing." He was going be having a rather rough time today.
Only thing that could prevent his fortunes from happening would be if his sister used her positive fortune alice with the same amount of intensity on the same exact target. She didn't really like Mind Reader, and her brother though was cruel, wasn't stupid and wouldn't commit murder.
"Here squirt. You can have my cookie." Yang narrowed his eyes. It was their senior Tsubasa...who just gave an alice filled cookie to the rather loud Mikan, who already had a cookie.
She opening both and ate them reading the fortunes. "Let's see, this one says that something amazing would happen. And the other says that today will be a terrible day..." The short pig tailed girl frowned.
They were complete opposite of each other. "What have you done?!" Both turned towards the twins. Fan stands back while her brother approaches, each of them holding scowls of irritation. "There was a reason you guys were told to only receive and open one."
Ying makes a sign with his hand towards the raven haired boy. "You will have trouble speaking. You will have a bad encounter with doors. You will-" Fan sighs, walking to Mikan. "Fan-san what is your alice?" Placing her bowl on the table she turns towards the group.
"For those who haven't read our minds or haven't figured it out. My brother and I are often called the Yin Yang Twins. His alice is giving negative effects on ones luck, while mine is giving positive. Whatever you guys got in your cookies would determine how your day would go."
Her expression grows more tired as she explains. "Though my brother likes to inflict his alice on those deserving, i prefer letting fate decide. However Mikan, because you accepted and read both cookies. Which has never happened before. I can't really say what will happen to you."
Seeing Mikan pale Fan goes to assure her, understanding that it was the foolish Tsubasa's fault and not hers. "However whatever events or effects that happen will only work for today. After that our alice will wear off." Tsubasa stares at her, sweat coursing down his head.
"So wait, you're saying i now have bad lumps? That what he dead is crude?" (Translation: That what he said will come true?) Quickly he slaps his hands over his mouth with wide eyes. Already Yings bad luck ju-ju was taking place.
He ran, turning straight on his heels, wanting to get away from everyone, when the door opened, smacking him right in the face. Knocking him out cold. Narumi sensei walked in, a happy smile on his face. "Mikan-Chan you and your friends need to come with me~"
The rest of the day went on, Ying and Fan were(much to everyones relief) sent to their room so they could fully unpack. "Brother." He paused in his movements. "Yes sister?" She had stopped as well, looking out the window.
"What do you think will happen to Mikan-Chan and her two fortunes?" He shrugs, struggling to put his his shirts in the dresser. "Not sure. This is the first time it's happened after all. Damn that Tsubasa for screwing up our fortunes." She hummed watching the birds fly.
Her eyes were glittering in amusement and interest. "Do you want to make a guess? I want to do a little...gamble of sorts." Now curious to his siblings tone he turns towards her, seeing her on her body on the window sill. "What gamble are we talking about here?"
Fan giggles, facing him. "Well I want to see how Mikan's luck is, so tomorrow, we'll ask her and see which of our two alice's is stronger or effected her most." He raises an eyebrow at her mischievous tone. "And? What does the winner get?" She sighs, standing up.
Continuing her tiring chore of putting her things away. "The winner would get the losers most powerful enchanted cookie. To use on anyone they wished." It wasn't too often that Fan would offer one of her stronger alice cookie.
If anyone got ahold of those, they'd find themselves with endless prosperity situations. "And should neither enchantment take place?" A simple shrug was seen. "Then we simply exchange the cookies. No loser, just winners. Of course we won't know till tomorrow."
Stretching her arms above her head she heads out, eager to take a look and explore the new school she and her brother would be staying at. "Fan wait for me!"
